I've no relevant experience, but I've got some hunches for your consideration. First, if floppies, ZIPs, and CDs can't take your environment, then I doubt if high-density tapes will. They should be more reliable, but not so much so that they would work very well where other media is rotting like meat. Second, I suspect that those temperatures would not be a problem if the humidity could be kept low. AIUI, media plastic can absorb a bit of water, causing it to expand. If you can't manage a refrigeration- based dehumidifier, maybe the "Dri-Z-Air"-type granules would do the job if you keep the tape drive and tape storage confined to tight boxes big enough to hold well-maintained granule holders. Third, are you being careful to ensure that the tapes have had several hours before use at the same temperature (and maybe days at the same humidity) as they will have when used? Changes in the media might be the real problem. Forth, along the same lines, at those temps, maybe your drives are getting hot enough to cause the media to change temp too much as they are being used. Try putting some strong blowers on your drives to keep them near room temp. Again, I'm just thinking out loud, in case you haven't considered some of that. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: using samba for backups
> > Are there any potential pitfalls to this approach, iow are there > any compatibility issues that come up if I copy files from a nix > box to a windows box and vice versa? The problem I can see is that you may have problems with attributes. It depends on what you are trying to backup. With data you can just copy from windows to samba. Depending on how you have it set up you should be able to keep the windows file attributes. We use rsync to make hourly backups of all our data on a mirror server to allow users to access data if the windows fileserver goes down. This gives us time to fix the problem without 50 people demanding to know when we will have the problem fixed. With the os use a native tool designed to backup and restore the os. This will make sure that you have the proper file attributes when restoring. We backup our windows servers to a samba share using both v2i and veritas backupexec. they can both backup to file so we just store the backup files on the samba servers. v2i has network support and you can boot off the v2i disk, browse to the samba share and then restore the whole os. For bsd we do dumps of the os using dump and break up the dumpfiles into cd sized chunks then store them on removable drives. This could be anything even your windows machines. If there is a problem, write them to cds reboot your server with the fixit cd and restore. > > On the side it's getting to be such a pleasant development > environment on my lan that I can't help shake this awful feeling > that something's going to mess up big time. I have trouble trying to not think of my bsd boxes in terms of windows reliability. Once started the bsd boxes just keep on trucking.

As a diagnostic, it might tell you something useful if you use dd to read the tar file from the CD back to your hard drive, then untar it from the file on the HD. Something like # dd if=/dev/acd0c of=file.tar.gz bs=2048 Assuming that doesn't return an EOF error, you should be able to unpack file.tar.gz.

Pernicious problem with vfork / qmail / qmail-scanner (more)
I did some testing. I wrote a small program in C to fork off a specified number of processes and leave them there. I find that I can run exactly 39 processes as qmaild before tcpserver begins to barf, saying it cannot fork. This makes no sense to me; I can fork off hundreds of processes as the qmaild user with my simple test program (running as sudo -U qmaild). However, tcpserver, no matter what I do, is locked to 40 total children processes. I find that value very interesting because during my research I noticed that there is a #define in sys/syslimits.h defining CHILD_MAX as 40 if it is not already defined. And it seems as though you can set it as a kernel option in 4.x but not in 5.xCould this be related? I'm confused because it doesn't look like tcpserver relies on syslimits or anything which would get that limit...any ideas? Thanks, -Justin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
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 O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

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.

Re: resizing partitions in the same slice
BTW, some places have recommended commercial solution like Norton Ghost or Partition Magic. Do these products work on FreeBSD's UFS format and grok partitions-in-a-slice? Partition Magic only manipulates slices and does not know anything about partitions within slices - especially FreeBSD partitions. I would guess that Norton is the same because it is made for Microsloth environments. UFS wouldn't have anything to do with it - that comes later with newfs. Ghost and, IIRC, Drive Image (the Ghost equivalent from the makers of Partition Magic) will handle unidentified (i.e. UFS) partitions, but only as a sector by sector copy, so you can't take advantage of those products ability to scale up/down the partition (MS definition) sizes when migrating to a bigger/smaller disk. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

IPSec/NAT/Gateway Question
Hi all, I currently have an issue of how "open" the whole WiFi tends to be, so, as all good people should do, I've started implementing a IPSec encryption system rather than the rather disappointing WEP. I'm encrypting all data to and from the gateway, which isn't a problem. This was documented rather well all over the internet. What I'm having an issue, is if the "client" has a range of RFC 1918 addresses behind it, and I have to introduce NAT into the equation. I've best tracked it down to the order that the kernel looks at the packets to decide what to do with it. This is where I stand at the moment. x.y.z.11 -> x.y.z.254 : works perfectly x.y.z.11 -> x.y.z.254 -> 0.0.0.0 : works perfectly rfc 1918 -> x.y.z.11 -> x.y.z.254 : Fails rfc 1918 -> x.y.z.11 -> x.y.z.254 -> 0.0.0.0 : Fails The connection between x.y.z.11 and x.y.z.254 is there the IPSec takes place, and is the only part "off the wire" as it were. The issue presents itself as the packet, from an rfc 1918 address, goes to the client box, gets inspected by the VPN rules, which are currently set to match on the external address of the client machine, and is subsequently overlooked by the VPN. The packet then goes on, gets NATed, and goes out as a unencrypted packet, from x.y.z.11. Thats a generally undesired transport mode. On x.y.z.254, the packet goes back via the IPSec tunnel, but is then not un-NATed. All I believe should be required, is for the RFC 1918 packet to be NATed to the external IP address, BEFORE it is inspected by the IPSec system. So basically, all I'm really asking, is am I on the right line of thinking, or have I just gone off on a complete tangent to where I should be headed. Any ideas/input would be greatly appreciated.

Mouse (psm0) sometimes not working
Hello List! I have a problem with my mouse which I can't figure out by myself. I hope any of you guys can help me. I tried to include as much information as possible so this eMail is rather long... Let me first describe my setup a bit as I think it might be related to my problems. I have two computers sitting here, both are connected to the same keyboard, mouse and monitor through one of those KVM switches. The mouse is a Logitech MouseMan Dual Optical. The mouse has a cord and allows for USB and for PS/2 use (adaptor). My mouse is connected as a PS/2 mouse using the adaptor. It is recognized as psm0: flags 0x100 irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3 The first PC is running FreeBSD 4-Stable as a desktop as well as Windows 2000 (mostly to play games). The other one currently runs FreeBSD 4-Stable and is mainly for testing and playing around with and does not run moused(8) nor does it run X. The FreeBSD desktop runs XFree86 4.x.x (the one that comes w/ 4.9-Release) and moused(8). The following lines in /etc/rc.conf are used to start moused(8): moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" Now, the problem: When I boot FreeBSD and run X (which I always do, it's a desktop system), the mouse very often does not respond at all. Sometimes this is fixed by rebooting the machine. However, sometimes the problem remains after several reboots. Also, Windows sometimes does not recognize the mouse any more, which is really strange to me. I then need to either switch off the PC's PSU or, in case that didn't help, I have to boot windows in 'fail safe mode' or whatever it's called in English . Other times, time is on my side and after trying to boot FreeBSD after an hour or so, it will work again without me doing anything. These are things I noticed in such situations: When switching to the first console via +, I don't see any error messages (I probably just don't see them; doesn't mean they're not there). When I log in and check which processes are running, I find moused(8) not running. I am then unable to start moused(8) manually. Many times it complains about an I/O error for /dev/psm0. It happend once (I think) that /dev/psm0 was not there at all. Remaking it via cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV psm0 made the device file, but did not make moused(8) work. Also, I saw (only one time) a message during booting which looked like kernel: psm0: failed to open the device (doopen) but grep(1)'ing through /usr/src/sys did not give me any results where this could come from. This is what I've seen from the software side, but hardware shows some more symptoms: The mouse has got two optical sensors which are usually dimmed while the mouse is not being moved and will be lit as soon as I move the mouse. However, when the fault occurs, the LEDs are constantly blinking brightly but will return to their normal behaviour when switching (using the KVM switch) from one PC to the other (if that one doesn't show the problem at the time). I've done some googling prior to this post and found many problem reports about users who have problems with their mouse when connecting via a KVM switch. However, this problem I'm facing also occurs when I do not connect through the switch but also when I connect the mouse directly to the port. It has not occured when connecting the mouse to the USB port. I have trouble solving this issue by myself because my knowledge about the hardware involved is very limited and I haven't found any way to reliably reproduce the problem (other than booting the system). I hope that there is somebody out there who can either tell me how to fix this or at least explain why this problem exists and why there isn't any way of fixing this...

Why does `df` lie about free space
That's an old problem, but yesterday I was working with 1.4G UFS2-slice reported by `df` to have 400kb of free space. Alternative calculations (e.g. writing a random file until kernel says no inode's free) give a result of more that 100M (!) unused. Thats about 7% of the whole size! So whats wrong with `df`? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I can't answer to that very much. I have always managed disk size by
moving things around and making symlinks as I described. Some people
don't even have separate /usr and /var partitions. They just include
them in one large partition (often /usr actually or sometimes /home)
along with everything else and then they don't have to worry about
how to size things other than just getting enough disk overall.
What I suggested is sort of in between - by moving those directories
in /usr that tend to grow a lot in to the big grab-all partition.

Partition Magic only manipulates slices and does not know anything
about partitions within slices - especially FreeBSD partitions.
I would guess that Norton is the same because it is made for Microsloth
environments. UFS wouldn't have anything to do with it - that comes
later with newfs.

If you want STABLE its RELENG_4 only. I don't think RELENG_5 exists as a valid tag but I could be wrong. I've heard elsewhere that using a non-existent tag may leave you with an empty/usr/src so this is consistent with what you've described. If all you want to do is track 5.1 REL with security errata (a.k.a security branch) use: tag=RELENG_5_1 I used this for some time before upgrading to 5.2.1 which uses: tag=RELENG_5_2 I've found that occasionally the cvsup process will hang because the particular mirror I've chosen is having problems or there's network congestion, etc. Try another mirror with the correct tag and let us know what happens.

I'm a little surprised. I would think that resizing partitions is a

another is not a new or rare notion. Can anyone else share their views

Re: USB ugen0 problems
As a followup, I modified the /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ugen.c source to
provide some additional debugging output in the ugen_set_config() function
(relevant code at bottom). This is the code responsible for creating the
device structure for the USB device endpoints after retrieving the
endpoint addresses from the USB device (i.e. /dev/ugen0.EE). The
make_dev(9) call fails (see log entries below) with a non zero status.
Given the endpoints returned by the device were valid, I'm at a loss as to
why. The device works correctly under Windows 2000 (fyi). Is this a
problem with the my device, a bug, or ???

problems running lpd (both via rc.conf and directly)
Hello, again. I'm having a problem running lpd. I just installed FreeBSD 4.9 on a new Pentium I, and set up printing. Following the instructions in Section 11.3 of the Handbook, I added the following line to /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" However, this does not turn on lpd, even when I reboot. Furthermore, when I su to root, and issue the "lpd" command, it prints whatever I have in print queue, but when everything is printed, and I try issuing another lpr command, I get the following error message: lpr: Unable to connect /var/run/printer: Socket operation on non-socket lpr: Check to see if the master process 'lp' is running. I accordingly do a ps|grep lpd, and sure enough, it's not running. To make things worse, when I try deleting the print jobs via lprm, I can't, not even when I log on as root and issue "lprm -". Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.

XFree86-3.3.6 on FreeBSD-4.9 ?
Can I use XFree86-3.3.6 server on FreeBSD-4.9 ? I installed FreeBSD-4.5 on my old 486 VLB computer and x-windows worked fine. This is a sweet old computer, I like to call it the fastest 486 in the west; with a 5x86 processor @ 150Mhz and a 50Mhz VLB bus and parity ram, it is a very stable and useable computer. I decided to Upgrade to FreeBSD-4.9, and ended up with XFree86-4.3. I couldn't get startx to run. It turns out that the Trio64 is not supported in XFree86-4.x. Can I use XFree86-3.3.6 on FreeBSD-4.9 ? How do I install XFree86-3.3.6 from my FreeBSD-4.5 distribution? (it is not in the ports but in separate folders) What sort of problems might I have with such a configuration? I searched the mail archives and found a message in freebsd-x11 titled "please fix your port" by S.C.Gehl in Dec 2003 where they complain about x-server not working on a Trio64 after upgrading to 4.9. They are probably having the same problem that I am. When I first upgraded to FreeBSD-4.9 the Xfree86 port wouldn't load, because expat had a package problem. But I was able to start windowmaker so I presume that XFree86-3.3.6 was still available. After I downloaded a version of expat that would load and loaded XFree86-4.3 then I couldn't startx.

Re: 5.2 upgrade and Exim delivery
Hello, On a suggestion from the exim-users list ( I should've known to do this anyway), I did: # portupgrade -Rf exim and my problems have gone away. The 'missing' mail poured in, and exim is happy. Thanks very much. joshua lokken wrote: Hello all, I am working on becoming familiar with FreeBSD 5.x after using 4.x for the past few years. The machine in question is a web and mail server; I originally installed 5.1 from the mini iso, then upgraded to RELENG_5_2 last weekend. The upgrade went without problems, as it always has...and i did not change anything in Exim's configuration, but now Exim no longer starts on system startup. In /etc/rc.conf, I have: sendmail_enable="NONE" exim_enable="YES" And the lines in /etc/mail/mailer.conf are changed from sendmail to exim binary paths. ls /var/spool/clientmqueue shows messages in form: qfi2FB8SYT048073 ls /var/spool/exim/msglog shows messages in form:1B11Vc-cm-S4 So, I'm wondering, a) what went wrong during the upgrade? Can't say for sure. It's looks a lot like sendmail is handling your incoming SMTP, though; that's sendmail's message ID type you've listed there. It might be wise to instruct FBSD not build sendmail at all; IIRC (but do some checking) that would be NO_SENDMAIL="true" (I mean, really do some checking...) in /etc/make.conf b) how do I get my messages into the appropriate spool / delivered? Have you tried starting Exim? I guess that is where the error messages are coming from... What does the Exim FAQ say?

Firewall questions
Greetings, I am still working on the firewall performance issue. What I would like opinion on is, if I install 5.1 on a PII 233, 182MB Ram and configure it as a firewall (IPFilter) with (2) xl nic's, is that better than buying a linksys BEFSX41 router with firewall ? My current Freebsd 4.6 firewall running on an AMD K2 233, 64MB EDO Ram, with 2 ep0 nics is slowing me down. I have 1.5Mb DSL and I only see 700K.

Singlethreaded program on a SMP enabled machine and HZ=?
Hi I have a Dual Pentium3 933Mhz machine with 768MB ram installed running FreeBSD 5.2.0 that I wish to run HLDS (Half.life dedicated server, I belive its singlethreaded but I really dont know..), now that Ive got everything set up I started to wonder if hlds actually would have any benefits of running on a SMP machine. as I can remember from using windows on the same machineware was that singlethreaded software never used more than one cpu, ie only utilizing 50% of theoretical processing power. does FreeBSD act the same way or does it have some clever ways of making software not built for MP use more than one cpu and draw the full capacity out of the box? one other ting, while setting up the game server, I often came across howto's and faq mailing lists mentioning HZ=1000 or similar would help boosting the fps of the game server up, while others says that for a singlethreaded cpu-hog like hlds would benefit more running with a HZ=20 or abouts would give more precius cpu time to the actual game server. if I recall right from the manual, HZ has something to do how often the BSD scheduler checks the running processes and distributed cpu time to them, right? if so, my sense of logic would say to me that the less intrerrupts the hlds have the more speed could I tweak out of the box, am I right? right now HZ is at the default value of 100, do I really need to mess around with it or can I just leave it as it is? maybee I should take half of theese questions to a valve/hl list/forum, but since its all about freebsd Im posting it here.

FME, FreeBSD is a bit more finicky about iffy media and hardware; I've been able to install Windows with a CD-ROM drive that was on it's way out, but a FreeBSD install on the same system bailed due to read errors. Also, it's possible to burn an occasional coaster.

My best recommendation, though, is to just move some of the big stuff from /usr such as /usr/ports, /usr/local and /usr/src in to /data and make symlinks. Probably tar is adequate for this. cd /usr tar cvpf /data/ports.tar ports tar cvpf /data/local.tar local tar cvpf /data/src.tar src cd /data tar xvpf ports.tar mv ports usr.ports // my naming convention tar xvpf local.tar mv local usr.local tar xvpf src.tar mv src usr.src cd /usr mv ports ports.old ln -s /data/usr.ports ports mv local local.old ln -s /data/usr.local local mv src src.old ln -s /data/usr.src src Now check things out to make sure it looks good by cd-ing to stuff like cd /usr/ports/www or whatever and look to see that you got to the right place (/data/usr.ports/www) and when you are convinced, go back and clean up cd /usr rm -rf ports.old // Watch for accurate typing here rm -rf local.old // Also, if any files have flags set, you will rm -rm src.old // have unset then with chflags(1) as in cd /data // chflags noschg file_name rm ports.tar // in order to be able to rm them. rm local.tar rm src.tar This should give you back quite a lot of your /usr file system Although ports, local and src are the usual hogs, you may need to use du in the /usr directory to find out what else is taking lots of space if these aren't the ones. Do you have a bunch of home directories there or are you making them in /data for example. > But will /dev/da0s1h be okay? Is editing the disklabel enough?

5.2.1-release iso images broken?
I've been trying to boot up a Compaq 1850. Aside from it hanging on booting I noticed that I was booting with 5.2.1-RC, not -release So, d/l the latest iso and now the darned machine won't boot from the 5.2.1-release cds at all. Doesn't even see them. I've booted this machine up on 3 or 4 different linuxen, Fbsd4.9, Solaris 8, even openDarwin 7. I've burned several cds of 5.2.1-release-mininst but no joy. So, off to another pc and golly if the cd won't boot there either!

Printing from Mac OS X to CUPS on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE...
Okay. I've looked hi and lo for an answer to this and I'm not coming up with anything useful. I have two machines on the same network (192.168.0.x). One is an x86 running 4.9-STABLE and CUPS 1.1.19. The other is a PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Panther). The x86 machine has an HP laser printer attached to it via parallel. When on the fbsd machine, I can print files locally just fine. Under Mac OS X I can print to file as Postscript or PDF, put the file on the fbsd machine and print it locally just fine. So, it appears the PS/PDF data coming from OS X is not a problem. However, when I try to print from Mac OS X to the x86 box using IPP...nothing. I was getting a "Destination printer does not exist!" in the error log. I believe I've turned on browsing locally (BTW, I appear to be receiving CUPS' broadcast packets). I've tried configuring IPP printing on the PowerBook using both the Printer Setup Utility and http://localhost:631/. No go. Here's my cupsd.conf: ServerName 127.0.0.1 LogLevel info RequestRoot /usr/local/var/spool/cups ConfigFilePerm 0644 TempDir /usr/local/var/spool/cups/tmp Listen 127.0.0.1 Listen 192.168.0.2 BrowseAddress 192.168.0.255 BrowseShortNames No BrowseAllow 127.0.0.1 BrowseAllow 192.168.0.4 ImplicitClasses Off RootCertDuration 43200 Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.0.4 AuthType None AuthClass Anonymous Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.0.4 The error_log file on the fbsd box shows the following error: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/ipp' no good!

OT: hardware: backup tape reliability
I have a friend who's trying to implement a back-up regime, but running into media issues. Specifically: they live in an area with extremely high temperature+humidity (90-95 F/32-35 C; 90+% hum.) and climate conditioning is not an option. They need to backup critical data files (code base is not an issue) and have tried floppies, ZIP drives, and CDs ... all of which have proven to have a very short life span. They're considering trying tape backup; but before spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a system they'd like some assurance this will work. (One way to do this would be a hot swap disk ... but that's an escalation we'd like to avoid if possible.) I'd like to hear from people who have Been There and Solved That. I'll also take pointers articles that talk about tested solutions. Thanks in advance.

resizing partitions in the same slice
My FreeBSD-4.9 setup uses one drive in "dangerously dedicated partition" where all of my partitions live in one slice: $ df Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 64462 37886 2142064%/ /dev/da0s1e 64462 4 59302 0%/tmp /dev/da0s1f5160626086 468692 1%/var /dev/da0s1g 2064302 1464672 43448677%/usr /dev/da0s1h 10660096 720 9806570 0%/data procfs 4 4 0 100%/proc I almost run out of space during a buildworld, so I'd like to expand /usr from 2 GB to 4 GB by taking space away from /data. Since my filesystems will remain in the same slice, is it correct that I don't need to use fdisk(8)? So my procedure to do this is to recalculate the size/offset/cylinder settings for my partitions "g" & "h", change those settings via disklabel(8), then use growfs(8) on /dev/da0s1g? Seems simple enough, and the data on /usr should be preserved, correct? But will /dev/da0s1h be okay? Is editing the disklabel enough? Or do I need to reformat the partition --- and, if so, how? I'm not too comfy using newfs(8) directly. Can I just run "newfs /dev/da0s1h" after running the growfs(8) command and it will use the disklabel settings? Or can I be a wuss and use /stand/sysinstall? :-) Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Quotas, sendmail and bouncing mail.
Hello FreeBSD gurus! Let me ask you a question. We have a system that receives a lot of spam. Even though we have installed "spamassassin" our users keep the spam in their trash folder. Our system have quotas to limit the space our users can use, but when a user have not cleaned his trash folder in a long time, his limit is reached and his mail begins to be returned to its origin with a proper message. Now, most of spam addresses are fake, and the returned mail returns to our system, this time to the "Post Master" account [root]. Is there a way of not returning the mail when the quota limit is reached? We are using sendmail as MTA. I hope you can send me a copy to my e-mail address, I am not subscribed to the question list.

Pure-FTPD FreeBSD 5.1 and FXP Problem
I am having a problem with Pure-FTPD and FreeBSD 5.1 and was wondering if this is a common or known problem. I installed version 1.0.18 from ports and used the /usr/local/sbin/pure-config.pl /usr/local/etc/pure-ftpd.conf command so I could use the pure-ftpd.conf file. My box is a "dedicated server" at a hosting company so there is no firewall present. When I type the above command this is the output: Running: /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -c50 -B -C8 -fftp -H -I15 -lunix -L2000:8 -m4 -s -U133:022 -u100 -w -x -X -k99 -Z I am unable to FXP to this box even though the -w appears in the line above. I am trying to FXP into a unix authed account, not anonymous. The only thing I saw in the /var/log/messages was that "user ftp could not be found" but I believe that's because I don't have anonymous FTP set up nor do I want it set up. Is this a known problem with FreeBSD 5.1? I have a home FreeBSD 4.9 box set up and FXP functions just fine.

Thank you. I will try tun0 as my nat interface. However, if lets say, the

This you can use for channel bonding -- to make a virtual network interface out of several physical NICs, with the implied extra bandwidth available. However, one thing it doesn't actually do is provide failure tolerance. As the man page says: LINK FAILURE DETECTION At this time, the only algorithm for determining when a link has failed, other than the hook being disconnected, is the ``manual'' algorithm: the node is explicitly told which of the links are up via the NGM_ONE2MANY_SET_CONFIG control message (see below). Newly connected links are down until configured otherwise. That is, you have to manually reconfigure the interface group if one of it's components should happen to fail. There's no means of automatically testing that all of the components are still working properly, and if not, of reconfiguring the interface group to work around the problem. ng_one2many is clearly the basis upon which such failure tolerance could be built, but so far no one has committed the necessary patches to ng_one2many to do that. If you need failover, what you can apparently use is the ng_fec module by Bill Paul which implements the Cisco Fast EtherChannel mechanism, but which apparently has no man pages or other docs available. See Bill's announcement message at http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=700715+0+archive/2001/freebsd-hackers/20010211.freebsd-hackers However, you either need to be using a point-to-point link or via a Cisco switch that supports FEC.

The problem is I can get to the internet from this machine ONLY, none my other machines can get to internet. How do I go about fixing this? Reading further in man natd, I see: 3. If you use the -interface option, make sure that your interface is already configured. If, for example, you wish to specify `tun0' as your interface, and you are using ppp(8) on that interface, you must make sure that you start ppp prior to starting natd. So it does look like you should specify tun0 as the natd interface, and the startup order is obviously important.

so he can use the dsl link already and deleting the papchap lines from
ppp.conf would break this.
But NAT isn't working. The natd_interface has to be the external
interface. Perhaps this should be tun0.
But man natd seems to recommend using ppp's nat functionality:
(If you need NAT on a PPP link, ppp(8) provides the -nat option that
gives most of the natd functionality, and uses the same libalias(3)
library.)
So that might be easier.
Perhaps also give the machine a hostname.
PWR.

Subject: NAT & PPPoE (detailed email)
Hello List,
I am trying to setup a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE (FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0:
Wed
Mar 10 17:33:52 EST 2004) box to connect to verizon dsl. This
machine will
be acting as a firewall, gateway, web and db server. I have 2 intel
10/100
nic (fxp0, fxp1).
External Interface: fxp0
Internal Interface: fxp1
First thing I did was set it up in my office for NAT with static ip
on
fxp0 and compiled the kernel with
options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT
in /etc/rc.conf I did:
defaultrouter="205.246.19.1"
hostname="mohsinlap.buffnet.net"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 205.246.19.43 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="OPEN"
firewall_quiet="YES"
natd_program="/sbin/natd"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="fxp0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"
named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/sbin/named"
named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.conf"
my /etc/natd.conf file has:
interface fxp1
use_sockets yes
same_ports yes
log_denied yes
Works like a charm. Was able to get to internet using a NAT'd
machine
(192.168.1.7). Ok.. now I take this machine to a friend who will be
usig this. Since Verizon uses PPPoE, I did some googling and now my
setup
looks like this:
the new /etc/rc.conf:
defaultrouter=""
hostname=""
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="OPEN"
firewall_quiet="YES"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="NO"
natd_program="/sbin/natd"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="fxp0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
default:
#PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet
set device PPPoE:fxp0
set speed sync
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set ctsrts off
enable lqr
set log phase tun
add default HISADDR
enable dns
papchap:
set authname {username}
set authkey {password}
in my kernel:
pseudo-device tun
options NETGRAPH
recompile kernel, and machine comes up... but here comes the
problem:
since there is no hostname, during the bootup, it tries to negotiate
a
hostname and timesout after some time. Then I get:
IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based
forwarding
enabled, default to deny, logging disabled
ad0: 3098MB [6296/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2
acd0: CDROM at ata1-master PIO3
acd1: CD-RW at ata1-slave PIO3
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
module_register: module netgraph already exists!
linker_file_sysinit "netgraph.ko" failed to register! 17
and continues to load apache, mysql. I login to the shell and try to
telnet to my test server at work and I do get to my test server.
Here is
what ifconfig shows:
fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::280:5fff:fed7:8892%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

I also use ClamAV. If resource utilization is an issue, the scanning strategy could be changed to scan only email and /home areas frequently. Full system scans could be scheduled less frequently and during periods of low utilization.
