RE: Move a locked file

I have some e-mails and addresses on that partition I would like to export to the other partitions, perhaps even create a permanent reference file to share system wide. The main problem I have, beside the fact that, in my lust for UNIX POWER, I keep breaking things:), is that the Evolution files in my mostly-dead Debian partition are locked and resist any attempt to move them. Any thoughts on gaining access to these files to copy or move them?

64mb stack size limit?
Short question: Is there a way to increase the stack size limit for a user process beyond 64mb? Background: FreeBSD in question is 5.2.1-RELEASE. I am running an application (unison from /usr/ports/net/unison). This program by virtue to how it was developed (or possibly the language is uses, that being ocaml) uses a large amount of stack space when syncing large directory structures. With directory structures that contain on the order of 30,000 files, unison runs out of stack. Using the bash shell: ulimit reports a stack limit of 65536k: # ulimit -a core file size(blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files(-n) 11095 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size(kbytes, -s) 65536 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes(-u) 5547 virtual memory(kbytes, -v) unlimited Doing ulimit -s with a higher value does not seem to produce an error or change to this value.

Of course, moused(8) needs to run for this to work. Once again the mouse was not detected during a /stand/sysinstall configuration attempt either. Please check your dmesg(8) to see if the system recognizes it. I'm not familiar with your laptop, but I think that those built-in mice in laptops should come up just like a normal ps/2 connected mouse. In this case you might want to disable moused(8) in /etc/rc.conf and instead start it from the console to get more verbose output. Try to runn it with moused -d -f -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 Hopefully moused(8) spits out some error messages which might help do diagnose the problem further.

Dlink DSL router doesn't like FreeBSD
I'm trying to make work a D-Link 504T DSL router/switch with FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p6. I've already realised that IPv6 is not supported by the router so I compiled an IPv4-only kernel and got to work DNS, HTTP, and FTP. My problem is that ssh and telnet don't work. I get as far as the Password prompt, I type it in, and then ssh freezes for a couple of minutes until it probably goes in timeout and gives up. The D-Link help desk is useless; the only thing they suggested was to return the router to where I bought it. I've anyhow the impression that the problem might not completely be the router's fault. In fact I plugged a Windoze machine, installed PuTTY, and ssh seems to work flawlessly. What am I missing here?

RE: perl pause or wait
Generally I agree with you assertion about coding file locking, but in this case where newsyslog is rotating the log, there is already an .0 file. Newsyslog does mv command to rename log.2 to log 3, then log.1 to log.2, and log to log.1 finishing with touch log to create the new empty one. So doing file lock on log.0 does not guarantee I have the new rotated log.0. Using sleep 10 allows enough time for newsyslog to do it's rotating of all the logs no matter how deep they go. Now could always first check the current log.0 file for size creation date, then do the newsyslog command, then interrogate the log.0 file until it's file size date is different as an method to determine the log.0 file is the previous log file. But in my book this is to much busy work for something that sleep 10 will do for me. And besides my perl coding ability is not that good to code an routine to perform that. Then on the other hand, I would accept an working routine to add to my script to do that. -Original Message- From: Christopher Nehren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 11:22 PM To: JJB Cc: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: Re: perl pause or wait JJB wrote: I have perl script that issues the newsyslog command followed by 3 perl scripts that process the new .0 rotated file.

Is there in perl pause or wait command I can use to allow some time to elapse before continuing with the launch of the next script? Using a statement that delays for a specified period of time is a generally bad idea because you can't guarantee that the operation will complete in that time. Hence, you should look into filesystem locking functions: 'perldoc -f fcntl', 'perldoc -f flock', and 'perldoc -f lock'. Alternatively, you could use the four-argument form of select to receive information about when the files are available, but that's probably too complicated for what you want to do. Reading through 'perldoc perlipc' is advised for what you want to do. Granted, it's not traditional IPC, but architecting some IPC would help to guarantee that you're not processing the files before they're ready. Yet _another_ possible solution: why do you have four scripts? Can you not do what you want with one well-structured script?

Re: How to abtain FreeBSD source code
Hi FreeBSD, I'm a software engineer in the networking industry. I'm very intersted in the the implementation of IP routing in FreeBSD. Two questions here: 1. Can I get FreeBSD source code without any charge? Yes. 2. If so, how can I get them? This is all very well documented on the FreeBSD web site. Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ and follow the appropriate links. Basically, you can download the .iso file and start the install. If you have a decent speed network line, just download and burn the mini-iso CD. You can do all the rest via the install by ftp method. It works well. Alternatively, if you have a slow network connection, then you may wish to buy a cd set from one of the companies that burn copies of the CDs and package them with the handbook for a small charge - some of which is donated to the FreeBSD project. All of this information is on the web site. Since you will ask, for now install and learn the latest 4.xxx version. (currently 4.9-RELEASE is out. 4.10-RELEASE is expected momentarily) It is still a little more ready for production than 5.xxx. By the time you have become very familiar with FreeBSD, probably 5.xxx will be the main track and you can install it then. jerry Regards, --- Frank Wei27 Nazareth Avenue Software EngineerPO Box 8011 Allied Telesyn Research Christchurch 8034 (An Allied Telesyn Group company) New Zealand phone +64 3 339 9536fax +64 3 339 3001 - ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I get as far as the Password prompt, I type it in, and then ssh freezes for a couple of minutes until it probably goes in timeout and gives up. Before we blame the router, a little more information would be good. First, are you coming into your LAN from outside, or going outwards? If it's an outgoing-connection problem, I would look into the firewall setting of the FBSD box. Maybe you set didn't set it up to pass the ports for outgoing telnet and ssh, or maybe you shut off the replies on those same ports. As for the timeout - many ssh setups will attempt to confirm the incoming connection, and many clients come from unconfirmable IP addresses. This usually involves a timeout of a few tens of seconds, but not terminating the connection. On the other hand, if you are discarding reply packets, I would expect the remote server to timeout awaiting your response to its acknowledgement. Second, if incoming, does your DSL account have a static IP address? Does your FBSD box have a static address within your LAN? You need these in order to route to your [FBSD] server. Are you running 'sshd' and 'telnetd' in the FBSD box to accept incoming connections? Try plugging the WindowBox into another of the router's ports, then use PuTTY to telnet and ssh into your FBSD box (using it's LAN address, naturally). If that works, the problem is definitely the router, but possibly a setup issue. Especially since telnet is also involved. (Many people disable incoming telnet, for security reasons.) When you have intra-LAN access working, look into port forwarding in the router's setup: you want incoming traffic from the ports used by ssh and (if you enable it) telnet to be sent to the LAN address of your FBSD box. Knowing what you are looking for may help you find it in the manuals. PuTTY's control panel to set up a connection shows you the default 'telnet' and 'ssh' ports if you are in doubt. My experience with the D-Link router has been outgoing and setting up a local WindowBox with a static IP (so it could server as a printer for the LAN). Keep us posted.

So, for it to be able to send mail, it has to pass the message to a smtp server. For it to read mail, it has to have an imap server that it connects to. Squirrellmail doesn't handle POP3 directly. You have to configure your imap server to pull mail from a pop3.

Re: The correct way to run make
Often you need to specify values, like for postgresql: make PREFIX=/some/other/dir And here's another question. I always use the same options for make, make install and make clean, ie: make PREFIX=/some/other/dir make PREFIX=/some/other/dir install make PREFIX=/some/other/dir clean This is because I noticed that some ports (I forgot which one I was having this experience with) need these options in order to install and clean correctly as they generate the package name based on the options specified. Is what I'm doing OK or is there another, beter/simpler/easier way to do it?

Kernel Panic, not sure what to do.

Someone mentioned that they think this is the problem: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/53382 The panic seems to happen after a lot of disk activity, i.e. CVSUP (via cron job), etc. He recommended I add 'options KVA_PAGES=512' to my kernel, so I did, but it's only been 24 hours since no panics.

USB Storage devices (Cigar/Pen) in FreeBSD?
Hi! I'd like to buy one of those USB storage devices that come in different aspects (cigar/pen) and sizes (64/128/256/512 MB). My main machine does not have USB 2.0 ports (but does have USB 1) and is running FreeBSD-4.9 Do these devices work with FreeBSD-4.9? What kernel options should I enable? From reading the archives I see that there are some problems if you want to boot from the device. Otherwise I've not found anything interesting. Perhaps this is just because they work 'out of the box' and there are no quirks or issues that merit attention. I'd appreciate positive/negative user experiences to decide my purchase.

Re: ProFTPd installation / configuration help needed
Hi, it seems you have ProFTPd configured as an inetd service and in this setup it will be started by the inetd daemon upon connection. Try to connect and see what it puts out.

Re: USB Storage devices (Cigar/Pen) in FreeBSD?
Hello, I'd like to buy one of those USB storage devices that come in different aspects (cigar/pen) and sizes (64/128/256/512 MB). My main machine does not have USB 2.0 ports (but does have USB 1) and is running FreeBSD-4.9 Do these devices work with FreeBSD-4.9? What kernel options should I enable? FreeBSD does have support for USB mass storage, so assuming it's a standard USB mass storage device, it should work. The biggest hassle in my experience is choosing a USB2 controller that works, if you want USB 2.0. On my laptop I have an intel controller, 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/M) according to pciconf -v -l, and it does work with USB 2 devices on CURRENT. However on 5.2 and below the controller dies when I insert a USB 2 device; though USB 1 works fine. Before the controller started working on CURRENT I went ahead and bought some random USB 2 controller for a stationary machine, since I was unable to find information on what works and what doesn't, but it turned out to not work either (in that I get 'weird' behavior in general; some times devices aren't detected and sometimes I can even get panics). This is on 5.2 though, I haven't tried CURRENT on that machine. It's a Via VT6202 based controller. So in short I think your best bet is to try to make sure you have a controller (built-in on the motherboard or otherwise) that is supported. Unfortunately I can't tell you what works and what doesn't, since I was unable to find that out myself. if you want to boot from the device. Otherwise I've not found anything interesting. Perhaps this is just because they work 'out of the box' and there are no quirks or issues that merit attention. I don't know about booting off them though. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Good mail combo
I've had nothing but success with Postfix on FreeBSD, and Squirrelmail seems like a decent program (although I've only run it on Linux).

We suspect a latency problem, mainly because we can't think of anything else it might be. We are not getting any help from the vendor. Is there a way to set up a machine with two network cards, which will simply forward every packet from one card to the other, but will introduce an arbitrary delay period?

Otherwise, take a look in /etc/periodic/daily, and/or double-check your crontabs -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
TeaPOP pop3 server.
Dear List, I am not sure of where to ask this question, but I have just recently finished configuring Postfix:Virtual:SMTPAUTH+MySQL+TeaPOP and it works great. Fortunatly (maybe unfortunately) it is on a test server. Our main mail server (which we are planning to implement this technology to) is currently running Postfix:SMTPAUTH+Qpopper. My questions is whether or not the Postfix+MySQL+TeaPOP system is secure and fast enough to put on a medium to high traffic production server with approx. 3500 accounts. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: mount_msdosfs anomaly
Aloha Again Okay, I had some time and since I had just installed Slackware, I didn't mind blowing it away. Using cfdisk from the Slackware CD, I re-partitioned slices 3 and up. I now have a fat32 3Gig slice in primary partition/slice ad0s3. I then have four 12 Gig slices (5 - 8) set up as linux partitions. Finally slice 9 (ad0s9/hda9) is linux swap. I still have the same error when trying to mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s3 /shared or mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s3 /shared I know it is seen as a fat32 partition in Win98 because I format it and run scandisk on it and can write to it. So, I don't think the problem was a primary/logical partition problem. I need to swap data between the OS's and this should be the easiest way.:) Robert Aloha I first used a win98 boot disk to set slice 1(partition 1) a 5 Gig for my win98 slice. After installing win98, I used the freebsd 5.2.1 CD to set up the freebsd slice 2 at 20 Gig. OK. I haven't had time (or a spare machine) to play with 5.xxx yet. I have a spare frankenputer if you can get to Kona, I'll loan it to you :) After installing freebsd I used Slackware 9.1 CD and the cfdisk program on it to partition the rest of the disk. Slice/partition3 is a primary. Slice 4 is extended with logical slices/partitions 5 through 10. I installed Slackware on slice 8 with a linux swap on slice 9 and a 2.7Gig fat32 on slice 10. Well, that (using Slackware and being logical partitions within an extended ) explains some things about how you got those slices. I believe FreeBSD is quite limited in its ability to talk to MS extended partitions. snip When I attempt to mount slice 10 with mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s10/shared I get the following error: mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s10: invalid argument. Slice 10 was formatted in win98 and scan disk was run.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The 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.

When you get over 20-30 emails/sec.. 1200-1800 / minute ... or over 100,000 emails an hour, that is getting to be a high traffic server g postfix/mysql no problem handling what you need. I am not familiar with TeaPOP, and in looking at their site, they have been out for a few years, and I have not come across any prior security history problems with them, that I have heard, unlike Qpopper, which has a very real history of security issues.. I would say, give it a go... on high volume servers, the focal area of concern is disk I/O, as this will be your slowest area. -- Gary ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
