Using IPFW/NAT with multiport PCI cards
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to request for advise/recommendations on the subject. I've been tasked to build a router/firewall based on FreeBSD. I'd like to use 5.2-RELEASE. Now my only problem is that I have played a little with ipfw in a situation where I have just two interfaces, 1 external and 1 internal. My current requirement however involves one external interface and four (or more) internal interfaces (which should all be SEPARATE networks, invisible from each other). Is this doable? (I hope someone has done this before). I would say I am a total newbie on this one. I am looking for recommendations on the following aspects: 1. Known compatible quad port PCI ethernet cards. The cost is a factor, but perhaps may not be very important as compared to functionality/stability. 2. Guides/Pointers on HOWTO configure this WRT to ipfw configuration. Any minute gotchas/clues will be highly appreciated. URL links pointing to people's experiences also welcome.

That sounds like what I'd expect, since those commands affect some completely different sets of files to the ones that are giving you problems. A more interesting question would be what output do you get from: % pkg_info -g jpeg-\* tiff-\* The symlinks in question should be known to the packaging system: % pkg_info -L jpeg-\* tiff-\* | grep '.so$' /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/local/lib/libtiff.so I thought portinstall/upgrade -rR would fix any out-of-date ports and make everything happy? What am I doing wrong to make this libraries not get installed? Yes -- there is certainly something going wrong wrong with the way your system is operating: maybe not with the ports/packages system itself, but something took out those symlinks which should have been there. If you reinstall those two packages you should get all of those files and symlinks recreated correctly for you automatically. However, portupgrade won't necessarily pick up that an installed package has been damaged. The ports system will find that, eg. libjpeg.so.9 is missing (which is the file it specifically checks for when testing if the correct dependencies have been installed), and so assume that the whole graphics/jpeg port hasn't been installed. Then when it goes to install the missing dependency, and finds that it isn't actually missing at all. The general answer to this problem is to force a re-install of the damaged packages: # portupgrade -f graphics/jpeg # portupgrade -f graphics/tiff Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

My current requirement however involves one external interface and four (or more) internal interfaces (which should all be SEPARATE networks, invisible from each other). Sure, this is possible. To tell you the truth, if you're not sure how to do it, the cheapest and easiest way would be to just get 4 ethernet cards for the internal interfaces. However, the most dynamic way would be to get an ethernet card that supports 802.1q or Cisco ISL, which are switch trunking protocols. You could then separate the networks into different virtual LANs in a switch, that was connected to the 802.1q NIC. That NIC would then have an IP address from each of the networks. I'm not sure how 802.1q can be configured in FreeBSD, but that shouldn't be too hard - the more difficult part should be configuring the switch. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this doable? (I hope someone has done this before). I would say I am

Not only is it doable, it's fairly trivial if you've done a 1 in, 1 out
ipfw firewall before. You just take that idea and grow it a little.
2. Guides/Pointers on HOWTO configure this WRT to ipfw configuration.
Any minute gotchas/clues will be highly appreciated. URL links
pointing to people's experiences also welcome.
Just set the firewall to deny by default and add your rules really...
Here's an example that would allow FTP to one network and HTTP to
another...
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to 192.168.1.0/24 80 tcpflags syn keep-state in via
xl0
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to 192.168.2.0/24 21 tcpflags syn keep-state in via
xl0
You can also have rules between your networks as well... This one allows
all machines on one of the protected networks to ssh to all machines in
the other network.
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 22 tcpflags syn
keep-state in via xl1
Note the following things about this rule...
1. I've specified a source range to allow.
2. I've used a different interface. This guarantees that this traffic
isn't coming in via the main external interface, but that it is
coming in on one of the protected interfaces.
Of course, everywhere I've used an entire range here, you could use a
single IP range. Combining IP addresses with via interface statements
lets you be pretty flexible :)
Hope this helps some ?

What steps should I do to eventually have the new release? Reading the handbook on-line, I found that it confusing how to compile the FREEBSD either by the old way or the new way. You can certainly install FreeBSD-3.2 if you have appropriate hardware. Remember that there won't be much support (if any) in 3.2 for anything that has been introduced in the last 5 or so years (3.2 was released in May 1999). If you succeed in building a 3.2 system, please don't expose it to the Internet without due care and attention. There were several nasty security holes closed in that and later versions: even worse, by now, it's so old that security fixes don't get backported to it. You can almost definitely use a 3.2 system to download the 5.2.1 sources via cvsup(1) [not CSV -- that's comma separated values, a text format for columnar data...] However, once you've got the 5.2.1 sources, there's not a lot else you can do with them. You won't be able to compile 5.2.1 directly on 3.2, nor will you be able to upgrade in one jump. I think your best bet is to put away your 3.2 CDs as of historical interest only. To install 5.2.1, either download one of the iso images and cut your own CD, or make yourself some install floppies. You can install the whole system over the net quite readily -- there are detailed instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html The 5.2.1 floppy images are at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.2.1-RELEASE/floppies/ and you need kern.flp and mfsroot.flp images, plus possibly the drivers.flp image depending on your hardware. See the README.TXT and DRIVERS.TXT files in that directory. To find .iso images to download, use the mirrorlist.freebsd.org service: http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php The minimum you need is the 'bootonly.iso' (21184Kb) which gives you a bootable CD-Rom with sysinstall(8) -- to use this, from within sysinstall you'll setup a network connection and then download everything else for the rest of the system over the net. Next in size is the miniinst.iso (245536Kb) which has everything on the bootonly.iso, plus all of the system. You won't get an X-Windows environment or anything like that: just the console. No ports or extra packages. With this disk you can do a minimal install, and then setup cvsup(1) to pull down system sources, the ports tree etc. Third option is to grab the disc1.iso (659328), which is basically miniinst.iso + some popular packages. The disk2.iso (268416Kb) is not usually needed unless things go horribly wrong -- it contains a live filesystem image which you can boot into and use to fix an otherwise unbootable system. Even so, there will not be many 3rd party packages bundled with these .iso's. Vendors like http://www.freebsdmall.com/ or http://www.bsdmall.com/ will happilly sell you a 4-disk set: this consists of the disk1 and disk2 iso images as above, with all spare space and another two disks jam packed with extra 3rd party software. Mind you, even that is nowhere near a complete copy of the available packages -- you'ld need 11 or 12 CD-Roms to provide that.

Re: ahc reports lots of pci parity errors
Hi! It starts going havoc if there are more than 4 PCI cards inserted. If the fifth card is a PCI card, I get lots of errors and even lockups really soon, if the fifth card is an ISA card, i get less errors and I've only encountered one lockup until now. On lot of motherboards I've seen some PCI slots share a single interrupt.

Re: # bsdlabel -w /dev/amrd1 auto
On Tue, Mar 30, 2004 at 12:26:51PM +0200, Roberto Nunnari wrote:
hello.
What does the auto argument mean?
# bsdlabel -w /dev/amrd1 auto
Hmmm... Interesting. It seems that the description of 'auto' has
vanished from the bsdlabel(8) man page, although it is present in the
disklabel(8) man page from 4.x (disklabel was renamed bsdlabel between
4.x and 5.x):
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=disklabelapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-stableformat=html
According to disklabel(8), 'auto' means that {disk,bsd}label should
try and create a virgin disklabel on the slice -- that (if I
remember correctly) is essentially a 'c' partition spanning the whole
slice, and nothing else. bsdlabel(8) either works the same way, or it
will search for an entry marked 'auto' in disktab(5) -- see
/etc/disktab -- and there is no such entry in the default
/etc/disktab.
Assuming bsdlabel(8) still works the same way as disklabel(8): note
that the auto behaviour doesn't work on all media -- only those where
{disk,bsd}label can find the parameters it needs without having to
read the thing it's labelling directly. However, that includes all
SCSI or IDE hard drives, vnodes and regular files.
Is it possible that the command above configures amrd1
as the default boot partition and modifies amrd0 not the
be the active? And even modifies the partition table on
amrd0 so that it starts at sect 0 instead of sect 63 as before?
No. bsdlabel(8) is all about BSD partitioning -- the final 'a' in a
device name like /dev/amr1s1a It's fdisk(8) that sets /slices/ (the
's1' part in the device name) as bootable/non-bootable by altering the
master boot record (MBR) on the drive (the 'amr1' part of the device
name).
If you're using fdisk(8) on a different drive to the one you usually
boot from, then it won't be able to affect the usual booting process
in the way you are asking about. If you used fdisk(8) to turn of the
bootable flag on all slices on your boot drive, then yes, there would
be an effect. However, I'm sure you would remember doing something
like that. It's easy to reverse if you did -- just use fdisk(8)
again.
Cheers,
Matthew

Re: I need help badly with freebsd
Hi , I really need help getting FreeBSD. I cant seem to figure out how to get FreeBSD. I really want and need this but I need to know how to get it. My platform is I386 and please email me witha solution. Go to the FreeBSD web site. http://www.freebsd.org/ Click on the Installation Guide item in the list on the right. You will find lots of information on obtaining and installing FreeBSD. Whether you choose to buy a CD set from one of the sites that burn them and package them with a handbook or download the ISO and burn it yourself and install via FTP primarily depends on two things. 1- the quality/speed of your internet connection. If you have a slow connection or if it is unreliable, it can be a long tedius task to do it all by download. But with a good connection, it is easy and quick. 2- If you are able to financially support the FreeBSD project. Most of the companies that package installation CD sets contribute some of the money to the FreeBSD project. jerry Thanks ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD doesn't really work that way. You sound as if you're used to, say, Solaris where there is a system of vendor-produced binary patches and the scripting interface to manage them. While there is http://www.daemonology.net/ there is no official FreeBSD project binary patch system at the moment. FreeBSD does things differently. The primary means of getting updates to the system is to pull down updates to the source code and recompile. There are several ways of doing that, all described in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html (especially the section on CVSup which is what most people would use.) In general then the way you'ld characterise the state of the system is to note the time at which you last synchronised your sources against the FreeBSD CVS repository, and which CVS tag you used. There are certain cases which can be described in a more-or-less shortcut manner: those are (a) using one of the releases installed straight from CD, which is refered to as eg. 5.2.1-RELEASE or (b) tracking one of the -RELEASE CVS branches, eg. RELENG_5_2 -- in this case every time a patch is applied the system version as returned by 'uname -r' will indicate a patch level eg. 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4. However, you can manually apply the same patches (as directed in the accompanying security advisory) and recompile just the affected part of the system. This gets your system to exactly the same state as tracking the release branch, except that the various version numbers don't get updated. That doesn't count any other sort of ad-hoc patches or local customizations which may have been applied. Neither does it deal with 3rd party software (but see pkg_info(1) for how to deal with that). In short, the most effective way to learn everything you need to know about the state of a FreeBSD box is to ask the person doing the system administration.

I don't think tcopy is double-buffered; if you only have one file on that tape and know the blocksize, dd if=/dev/nrsa0 bs=##k | dd of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=##k should be much faster. If you have multiple files or unknown blocksizes, the cptp command from the MAG package at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dick/mag.html will preserve filemark and blocksize info through pipes, so you could do a cptp | cptp pipe. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A night with threads and gdb
A night with threads and gdb
or
How I began to wonder whether 5.2.1 works
or thread support is really broken
It all started on Saturday 2004/3/27: the spring sun was shining hot and
I was struggling in the effort to get apache
working decently on a 5.2.1p3/i386 (more on this later).
While portupgrading mod_php4, the system suddenly stopped working
properly: no more make install, no more install,
even ls -l would dump core!!! I wondered what could have caused this
and thought that any changes to installed ports
should not affect the stability of binaries from the base system; I
tried moving /usr/local/lib out of the way and ls
-l would work again. Logic or intuition lead me to blame nss_ldap, so I
disabled it and everything would work fine
again.
To make it clear: with nss_ldap enabled, everything that accessed the
user database would crash: so ls -l,
id and so on (but not, e.g., ls without -l).
I recompiled ls and libc with -ggdb3 and found out that the problem was
in nsdispatch.c, and precisely in the last line
of the following function:
nss_atexit(void)
{
(void)_pthread_rwlock_wrlock(nss_lock);
vector_free((void **)_nsmap, _nsmapsize, sizeof(*_nsmap),
(vector_free_elem)ns_dbt_free);
vector_free((void **)_nsmod, _nsmodsize, sizeof(*_nsmod),
(vector_free_elem)ns_mod_free);
(void)_pthread_rwlock_unlock(nss_lock);
}
Once again Google turned out to be man's best friend, by providing me
the following link:
http://groups.google.it/groups?q=vector_free+nss_atexithl=itlr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8selm=1080344625.82158.35.camel_server.mcneil.com%40ns.sol.netrnum=1
Apart from the psychological help derived from knowing I'm not alone,
this suggested to patch that file to look like:
nss_atexit(void)
{
if (__isthreaded) (void)_pthread_rwlock_wrlock(nss_lock);
vector_free((void **)_nsmap, _nsmapsize, sizeof(*_nsmap),
(vector_free_elem)ns_dbt_free);
vector_free((void **)_nsmod, _nsmodsize, sizeof(*_nsmod),
(vector_free_elem)ns_mod_free);
if (__isthreaded) (void)_pthread_rwlock_unlock(nss_lock);
}
I did, and did similarly for other pthread calls in that file, declaring
__isthreaded as:
extern int __isthreaded;
That was one step ahead: now ls -l /bin would crash no more, but ls
-l /home would still be problematic. Obviously
the difference between the two is that in /bin everything is owned by
system accounts, while listing /home would imply
searching for users in the ldap database.
I guessed the problem was that upgrading php had upgraded openldap too,
so I looked at freshport and found out that
the main difference was in the makefile, where -with-threads had been
replaced with -with-threads=posix.
I decided to try the three alternatives:
a) -without-threads would not do, as it would cause slapd to crash when
ldapsearching with a filter (i.e. ldapsearch -b
'dc=mydomain' works fine, but ldapsearch -b 'dc=mydomain'
(objectClass=posixAccount) not);
b) -with-threads=posix would exhibit the above mentioned problem with ls;
c) -with-threads would work best.
Now I could even ls -l /home and see the correct usernames. However, I
could not login or su anymore. (This forced me
to go and ask for the keys to the server room and wait until Sunday).
I ended up finding out (again by 'gdb su') that now using nss_ldap
hampers the ability of a process to read from stdin.
I can even provide this demonstrative program:
#include stdio.h
int main(int argc,char**argv)
{
char ch;
getpwent();
while (1)
{
ch=getchar();
putchar(ch);
}
}
If I want it to work, I'll either need to comment the call to getpwent()
or ldap in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
ktracing su showed resource temporarily unavailable when it tried to
read from descriptor 0.
Also, telnetting to localhost:pop3 had qpopper say I/O error.
Afternoon was over, darkness was coming and the machine had to be up
again before morning, so I decided to leave
nss_ldap and migrate the user accounts to the system password files.
This will not do in the long run, since it
prevents web management, but has allow several mail domains to be up
again before any message was lost!
However, I was forced to increase the username length limit (MAXLOGNAME
to 65 in /usr/src/sys/sys/param and
UT_NAMESIZE=64 in utmp.h). This is a deviation from a standard system
which I'd like to avoid, but it is needed until
the day I can get nss_ldap back up.
(Long base system recompile).
Now I had pop3 back up, time to think about smtp.
I tried recompiling /usr/ports/mail/sendmail-ldap but it hangs on
t-event test, after the message:
./t-event
This test may hang. If there is no output within twelve seconds, abort it
and recompile with -DSM_CONF_SETITIMER=0
I tried make -DSM_CONF_SETITIMER=0, but it makes no difference.
This test calls sleep(1) and program flow never gets out of it; if I use
gdb and interrupt it, I see it's in poll(); if

Custom kernel for PXE / cdrom installation
Related to a problem I had earlier: I am trying to set up a network installation of FreeBSD. I have a couple of other problems with this process but one of the most stubborn is getting a custom kernel to boot. If I take kernel.gz and mfsroot.gz from the boot floppies and put those in the NFS share for the PXE boot then the isntallation proceeds correctly through the normal boot floppy sequence. I want to avoid being prompted for a driver disk and things like that so I want to be able to boot my own kernel. I have taken a kernel from an identical system, copied it to the NFS share, and then copied my modules to the mfsroot image. Even though I do not use the modules I figured I would stick them in the mfsroot just to be sure. When I attempt to boot the new kernel I get errors about being unable to load each module, and the kernel ends up hanging. I have tried using my own kernel with the stock modules directory and I have made sure to compile in everything I can think of in the kernel. Can anyone shed some light on the kernel options required for a PXE boot image or why I am getting module loading errors?

My platform is I386 and please email me witha solution. There are several ways to get it, depending on what hardware you have. If you have a machine equipped with a CD burner, you can download the ISO images for the current FreeBSD i386 distribution, burn them onto CDs (total of 4 for the most recent 5.2 release), and install from that. Make sure your CD writer software recognizes that the files you downloaded are ISO images and not regular data files. If you don't have a CD burner, your best bet may be to either order the CDs from freebsdmall.com, or make an appropriate boot/install set on floppies, then complete the actual installation by downloading the packages you need from the net.

Something similar to what /etc/inittab can do in linux. I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions. See ttys(5), getty(8), gettytab(5). Basically you setup a terminal type via /etc/gettytab -- copy the 'Pc' entry and append the 'al=username' property -- which causes that terminal to autologin as the named user. Then you use /etc/ttys to tell the system to run a getty(8) with that terminal type on a particular tty (the console, or a vty) -- init(8) scans the /etc/ttys file and will detect when the associated getty program exits and respawn it. Set the login shell of the username you select to the program you want to run on the console, and take steps so that you can't get into that account by other means, like ftp(1) or ssh(1).

about Ultra-sparc and alpha: what makes the difference?
Hello. The question sounds really silly, but google with compare sparc i386 alpha / benchmark sparc i386 alpha doesn't give meaningful result in several pages. Please suggest me a better keyword compilation:) I don't know about anything other than i386, but the sparc servers and alpha servers are much more expensive than i386 servers on the same clock rate. People keep telling me they are expensive because they are more advanced, but I prefer to read some comperhasive data, benchmarks and such like.

Ordering of dummynet and natd.
Hi, Can anybody help me out with ipfw rules to do dummynet shaping before packets hit natd for translation. 192.168.0.4 should be able to upload at just 100KB/s. The default gateway and natd is done on 192.168.0.1 where I have the following rules: pipe 1 ip from 192.168.0.4 to any via xl1 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl1 allow ip from any to any pipe 1 just limits the bandwidth to 10KB/s. pipe 1 is before divert because if I put it after then natd has already translated the address so I cannot shape the bandwidth as I want.

Re: tcopy tape to tape WAY too slow

Over 12 hours including the verification process. (not sure exactly how long as it finished when I was sleeping) Is there something I can do to speed this up? I don't think tcopy is double-buffered; if you only have one file on that tape and know the blocksize, dd if=/dev/nrsa0 bs=##k | dd of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=##k should be much faster. No, I've got between 70 and 90 files per tape. If you have multiple files or unknown blocksizes, the cptp command from the MAG package at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dick/mag.html will preserve filemark and blocksize info through pipes, so you could do a cptp | cptp pipe.

I don't know if now portupgrade has a circular dependency or not... :-( (below was the exchange that started my problem in the first place and prompted me to send to the list) I'd think that the command failed part meant nothing was changed?...below was what prompted the question, above is the output after installing openssl and going portupgrade -f portupgrade, sorry for the out-of-sequence-of-events-posting :-) This shows normal output. If nothing is wrong with the links, pkgdb -F doesn't do anything. I have seen portupgrade do what you had happen. It doesn't always do that but will install the ports that is needs. If you have a version of openssl installed and don't portupgrade -R portupgrade It can also leave you with the broken link that you saw originally. What is broken right now is the dependancy of portupgrade. If you do a run the following cd /usr/ports make search name=portupgrade Openssl will not be listed. If you portupgrade -f porupgrade, you can see it clean for openssl. Something is broken but if you know that the message is really telling you that openssl needed to be updated, you won't have a problem. The latest version may have fixed the problem since it cleaned for openssl. I don't know. For right now, I would just remember how you fixed it by updating openssl and know that you should never point a port back to itself. You have to skip and drop out of the pkgdb -F before you can fix the broken link. You are doing a number of things you don't need to. For example, I only run pkgdb -F when the system tells me to. I have a script that cvsup updates only ports-all and immediately after the cvsup, The script runs the equivalent of portsdb -uU. That is the only time portsdb -uU needs to be run. If you use a script, it will always be run when it needs to be run. In a normal situation, I never run pkgdb or portsdb from the command line. I may go for weeks without running pkgdb -F but I have a cron job that updates ports-all at 4am and 4pm. I try to keep my system clean so that I can answer questions like yours. I follow -ports@ and cvs-all@ and in the past would only upgrade my ports when something significant came along. The updates may have been weeks apart. I don't fix things that aren't broken and there are a lot of ports that seem to be updated for no special reason. I keep my systems current because if I have to spend 4 hours updating ruby before I can test your problem, my response is going to be kind of slow. Ruby is an AMD 2400+ XP with a lot of HD space and memory. When I did the portupgrade -rf expat2, it required 13 hours. That would have been a really slow response :). Half of any problem is knowing if it is probably on your end and not a generic problem affecting everyone. If two or more people have the same problem, it is probably something generic on the FreeBSD end and many times you can easily track down who broke ports-all. I keep all of the cvs-all messages for a week. The change that broke things will be in there along with the email address of the person making the change.

Has anybody heard of making a webserver redundant using BGP? That is, if I set up 2 machines on different ISP's, with exactly the same content on them (mirrored). If both hosts are up, the traffic is routed to the closes server to the person making the request. Otherwise, if one server is down, traffic is automatically re-routed to the other box.

From: Guthemberg Silvestre [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 13:46:06 -0300 Hi everyone, I'm using the FreeBSD 5.2(FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 11 04:21:45 GMT 2004),default installation, to collect packets with TCPDUMP. The computer has: - CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ (2004.56-MHz 686-class CPU) - real memory = 536805376 (511 MB) - rl0: RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xdfffbf00-0xdfffbfff irq 18 at device 8.0 on pci0, etc. The problem is when I start the program TCPDUMP to collect the packets from a 32Mb/s link (at the rl0 interface).

5.2.1 sysinstall disk geometry problem
Ok last problem I am having: When scripting sysinstall, it still halts with an error about my disk geometry. The problem is, even if I specify the geometry that FreeBSD wants to use by setting the geometry= variable, I still get the error. Everything else in sysinstall is being scripted correctly. The only problems I am having are disk related. Can anyone shed any light on this subject?

Re: BGP On Host
I wasn't sure if it was BGP or if it was something else. Definetly between routers would be using BGP. But, I heard at an apache conference somebody was doing something where the machine would send a keepalive to the directly connected Cisco router, and if the router didn't receive the keepalive signal, BGP would re-route the traffic to the other host. Both hosts are on different ISP, but have the same IP address. Traffic is routed from the requester to the closest logical server. I think UltraDNS does this with their DNS servers as well. Anyway, I don't know what the host uses to send the keepalive to the Cisco router, or even how to configure the BGP to make it work.

shared memory release...
Hi all, Ok, I am running a 4.7 FreeBSD box that is a web server running apache. It looks like some module that I have is leaking memory, and eventually, apache crashes on restarts becuase of this error : shmget() failed: No space left on device which means it can't get any more memory, which I understand. When I look at the top list, it shows me something like this : Mem: 140M Active, 879M Inact, 151M Wired, 181M Cache, 199M Buf, 660M Free But when you look at the processes that are still up, they hardly take up any memory. So, my question is this. Is there a way to free up Inactive memory from crashed processes ??? Without just rebooting the box ??? I know that I need to find the source of the leaking and crashing to begin with, but in the mean time, if it happens, I'd like to free up the memory manually, so I can get the box running again...

Re: BGP On Host
Kind of, except both machines are on 2 different ISP, in different states. At ApacheCon, I described how I have a server in Oregon and a server in Florida, and I have a monitoring program that does a dynamic DNS update when one of the hosts goes down. The individual described that what they are doing is something to do with BGP, in which they have multiple servers in different countries, all with the same IP address. Traffic is routed to the nearest logical server, until one goes down, then the traffic is routed to the nearest logical server that is still up. That is what I am wanting. Since I didn't get the person's contact information, I am trying to figure out how to do it myself. Sincerely, Rick Duvall - Original Message - From: Marc G.

Re: about Ultra-sparc and alpha: what makes the difference?

The question sounds really silly, but google with compare sparc i386 alpha / benchmark sparc i386 alpha doesn't give meaningful result in several pages. Please suggest me a better keyword compilation:) How about this instead: Sparc (UltraSparc) A 32(64) bit processor designed by Sun Microsystems to advance beyond the Motorola 68040. Chips made by TI, Fujitsu, and perhaps others. www.sparcinternational.com Alpha, A 64 bit processor designed by Digital to advance beyond the VAX architecture. Digital, bought by Compaq, merged into HP. Chips made by Samsung (only, I think) www.alpha-processor.com (which may no longer work) FreeBSD runs on them all, multi-processor. They are more expensive primarily due to their lower volumes and the desire of their manufacturers to not enter low-margin markets. As a result, there is more money per computer to manufacture hi-quality enclosures. But this can be done with x86 systems, of course. -sam ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: BGP On Host
It's a reasonable way to perform certain kinds of replication. DDNS can often converge faster than BGP, but this *requires* that clients observe TTLs. Many do not. I don't know about current browsers, but not too long ago browsers would keep the results of a DNS lookup until they died. We offer a replication service (as a special) based on BGP. We do not recommend it unless the DDNS approach will not meet requirements. And then we work to find alternatives! To do it yourself is rather simple (Catbert's grin here.) First. Find a collection of ISPs that will agree to accept your BGP4 announcements of this foreign (to all save perhaps one ISP) AS. Oh, get an AS #. Then get someone to assign you some address space that can be so advertised. If you're lucky you have a spare /19 in your back pocket. :) After that it's *easy*. OK, I'm being cute. Some large ISPs will work with you to do this wholly in their diverse facilities with private AS numbers and address space they have reserved for this. AFAIK, the last free version of gated will work for IPv4 versions of this approach. And that runs on FreeBSD. -sam ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: KSambaPlugin question
I've been looking at the KSambaPlugin and am interested in it. I noticed
there used to be a port for this KControl plugin, but it appears to not
have been updated and was removed. I figured it's as good of a place as
any to start digging into FreeBSD, but I've run into a problem with it.
I've made the changes to the port files and it configures and
builds fine,
but it won't run. I'm new with programming on FreeBSD, so forgive me if
this is an easy problem to solve...
I'm using KDE 3.2, Samba 3.0.1, FreeBSD 5.2, and ksambaplugin 0.5.
kde-3.2.0 The meta-port for KDE
kdebase-3.2.0_1 Basic applications for the KDE system
kdelibs-3.2.0 Base set of libraries needed by KDE programs
samba-3.0.1_2,1 A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX
samba-libsmbclient-3.0.1 The shared lib from the samba packages
The compile is relatively clean, only a few messages about
unused variables
and arguments and a couple about using some print headers which are
supposed to be for internal KDE use. No errors though.
What is happening is that the plugin is freezing when it's called. I've
tracked it down to the external process call (testParam.start),
which never
returns. Here's the relevant code parts:
--- start code ---
KProcess testParam;
testParam testparm;
testParam -V;
_parmOutput = QString();
_sambaVersion = 2;
connect( testParam, SIGNAL(receivedStdout(KProcess*,char*,int)),

I can run the 'testparm -V' from a shell to get the samba
version, but the
response seems to get lost here. Is there anything that should be
different in this snippet of code? It appears the plugin has only been
tested in Linux; so, is there a common problem I'm running into here.
Pointers to any additional documentation I should read would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe.

Re: shmem release
In the last episode (Mar 30), Tim Traver said: Hi all, Ok, I am running a 4.7 FreeBSD box that is a web server running apache. It looks like some module that I have is leaking memory, and eventually, apache crashes on restarts becuase of this error : shmget() failed: No space left on device which means it can't get any more memory, which I understand. ipcs -m will list your current shm segments, and ipcrm will let you delete the ones not in use anymore. SYSV shared memory usage is limited by the kern.ipc.shmmax sysctl, I believe. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Installation fdisk partitioning (slices)
I know that writing is my worst form of communication ever! If something is not clear please ask. I will not bother you again. Thanks Russ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Russell E. Mayfield Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 6:12 AM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Installation fdisk partitioning (slices) I picked up a copy of the FreeBSD Handbook 2nd Ed the other day, it came with a installation disk for version 5.1 Current and that is what I am trying to install. This is my first attempt to do anything with FreeBSD. First let me describe my system, I have a pentium 200 MMX cpu with 128MB Ram and two 20GB hard drives (ad0 ad2). I am installing FreeBSD to ad2s2. I made room for fbsd with Partition Magic so when installing fbsd all I had to do was make it bootable and format it. The first time I installed fbsd everything went well but I remember wondering about the C flag that came up with the A flag when I made the slice bootable. Later I decided on a better way to arrange my partitions, so I had to reinstall fbsd. I tried for 4 days to get that C flag back in there (which the online help says is the default) and couldn't. When ever I went ahead wihtout the C flag it made the disk unusable to anything except fbsd, also in the disklabel program the d partition was skiped the first time, which the handbook cautions about using, but without the C flag I had to make a fake partition then delete it to get ride of it. Finaly I decided to live dangerously an I changed the geometry of the drive to match the bios figures. It seems to work, but I haven't gotten into it very deep. Can somebody shed some light on this, and should I make out a bug report? Thanks Russ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: tar ssh: strange gzip error message?
* Zev Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-03-30 11:14]: Hi all, If I want to copy a bunch of files over ssh without extra servers, it's easy enough to use the following command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd /directory/to/copy tar -cvf - * | tar -xf - -C . This works without complaint. However, when I change the options passed to tar, adding gzip compression on one end and decompression on the other: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd /directory/to/copy tar -cvzf - * | tar -xzf - -C . I get this error message: gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored tar: Child died with signal 13 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Is my method wrong?

sysinstall Unable to find device node...
Using an install.cfg with sysinstall off the boot floppies I am getting the following error: Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev! The creation of filesystems will be aborted This only happens if I specify the file systems and sizes I want in install.cfg and tell it to do an installCommit or a diskLabelCommit. If I go into the disklabel editor after the install fails, I see the root partition and the swap partition but not my /usr or /var partitions. The debug screen says: Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions Found swapdev at ad0s1b! It would appear that the swap device is there, and being found, but for some reason sysinstall is erroring out and I do not know why. This is only a problem when running it from install.cfg -Don ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
e2fsprogs install
Hello FreeBSDers, Just installed e2fsprogs from ports and it gave some instructions for vreating some links as follows: -- To have your ext2 and ext3 filesystems fsck'ed correctly without explicitly invoking the fsck_ext2fs utility installed by this port you will need to create links for the fsck utilities installed by this port in /sbin, e.g. ln -f /usr/local/sbin/fsck_ext2fs /sbin/ 2/dev/null \ || install -m755 /usr/local/sbin/fsck_ext2fs /sbin/ ln -f /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /sbin/e2fsck 2/dev/null \ || install -m755 /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /sbin/e2fsck IMPORTANT: you also need to repeat the above steps after a port upgrade! - I haven't done this yet as I am a little cinfused by the syntax. In particular, I assume that each of these two commands are meant to be entered as one line, and has been shown over two lines to fit on the page. I also assume that there is a symbol denoting that the command is continued on the next line. But which one? The \ and the end of the first line, or the | at the beginning of the second line, or both? Can some one set me straight?
