portupgrade -a question
Hello, I have a freebsd box I just set up and I am wondering about some things. I just ran `make buildworld` installworld and all that after an extensive cvsup. I still have perl version 5.6 something. The new version according to perl.com is 5.8 I ran portupgrade -a and it didn't upgrade anything. Do I need to move to the CURRENT source tree to get these new packages installed? It seems I have many dated packages on this freebsd box. Here is the steps I take to update... cvsup -g -L 2 supfile I am using the stable tree. portsdb -Uu portversion -l (nothing ever returns) portupgrade -a (this says something like: No need to upgrade fvwm-blahversion) (according to a freebsd site I found off of google, this is the proper way to go about updating) pkgdb -Fu My kernel is updated, my source tree is updated. But perl is an old version, openssh is an old version. Maybe I do not understand how the stable tree works, or ports in itself works, are the security and bug fixes patched and the version numbers maintained? That seems a bit odd to me. Anyhow I am a noob. Thanks for your time and patience.

Memory used by caching name server?
Hi, This is on FreeBSD 4-Stable. I have set up a caching name server. About its cached data base, I found out: 1) data base is kept in memory 2) the maximum memory is adjustable in named.conf, for example: datasize 20M; But without specifying the datasize, how much memory is used by default. The named.conf man page is rather cryptic: datasize The maximum amount of data memory the server may use. The default value is default. Elsewhere, I found that this default means a system dependent value. In any case, how can I find out what is the memory used by my server on my system? Is there a 'ndc arg' command for this? This is important when I consider to increase the memory limit.

Re: how to attach class C net to an interface?
I have a server with one interface and many virtual web hosts. I have been given class C network to use for the virtual web hosts and jails on the server. How to i tell the interface that all addresses of some A1.A2.A3.A4 0xFF00 network belong to the interface. Do i specify 250-some aliases? Or there is a better way? Unfortunately, there is no built-in solution I know of to add aliases in bulk - you need to issue individual ifconfig commands. As such, you can do it on the command-line using a loop such as this: for (( foo = 1; foo 255; foo++ )); \ do ifconfig fxp1 alias 172.16.100.$foo netmask 0x; \ done This will add the aliases 172.16.100.1 through 172.16.100.254 to the fxp1 interface. All you need to do is change the command to reflect your requirements for the network number and interface name, and you should be good to go. You can add this command into /etc/rc.local to have it run at startup. Thank you for the scrip. I will then asign a single main ip to the interface in rc.conf and then run this script from /usr/local/etc/rc.d because i think rc.local is merged after each cvp/buildworld/installworld/mergmaster, so /usr/local/etc/rc.d is a safer place to to keep it.

On Thu, Jun 03, 2004 at 11:36:46PM +0200, Henrik W Lund wrote: As Mr. Simon Barner stated, you can save a whole lot of downloading by first installing the 4.9 sources off of the CD-ROM, then cvsupping using the supfile you just made. This will get you only those files that are different between 4.9 and 4.10, and only the bits of them in which the differences lie. If you start out with an empty /usr/src, you'll pull down around 300MB of source code (give or take, depending on what packages you download). If it's already populated by 4.9 sources, you can cut back considerably on this. This is very good advice, and using cvsup regularly to pull down the updates to your copy of the system sources will not unduely tax a 56k modem connection. Ditto for the ports tree.

That's not a kernel option. remember that FreeBSD has an integrated kernel and system -- shlibs, standard applications -- and that for best results you need to compile both of them (from the same set of sources). All the COMPAT4X option in /etc/make.conf does is cause a pre-compiled copy of libc.so.4 and other vital shlibs from 4.x to be installed. That the OS major version is 4 and the libc ABI version is likewise 4 is no coincidence. You can achieve the same effect in an alternate manner by installing the misc/compat4x port. However, you don't generally have to do that: it's only necessary when you need to install software where only a pre-compiled 4.x version is available. Aside from a few commercial closed source offerings, there's only a few ports which will compile under 4.x but not under 5.x, and that number is shrinking all the time. If you're allergic to compiling it yourself, then 5.x packages are readily available.

Thank you for the scrip. I will then asign a single main ip to the interface
in rc.conf and then run this script from /usr/local/etc/rc.d because i think
rc.local is merged after each cvp/buildworld/installworld/mergmaster,
so /usr/local/etc/rc.d is a safer place to to keep it. Right or not?
Probably the best place to put this is in a file named 'start_if.fxp1'
assuming fxp1 is the interface you want all this to happen to. That
will be read into /etc/rc.network and executed by this bit of code:
for ifn in ${network_interfaces}; do
if [ -r /etc/start_if.${ifn} ]; then
. /etc/start_if.${ifn}
eval showstat_$ifn=1
fi
This effectively lets you introduce custom bits of shell script into
the standard /etc/rc.network script without having to worry about
keeping that script patched and in synch across system updates.
There isn't a similar 'stop_if.fxp1' facility -- just disabling the
interface usually does the trick.
The other question, will assigning 200+ ip addresses degrade tcp/ip
perfomance noticeably?
Hard to say. Probably not a huge amount, but it will depend on your
hardware amongst other things. The only way to know for sure is to
run some tests yourself.

It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly ATT, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity. One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control.

Hi all, Installed 5.2.1 on a high load server - albeit not recommended - and it was working perfectly with SMP support. It picked up 4 cpu's and appeared to be using them all. (The box is a dual 2.4gig Xeon machine). Anyway, the box was as I said under quite a bit of load, and would die about once a day - just reboot. I looked into it a bit and found whenever I put more load on (e.g. a make install in ports) it would panic - vm_load_page or something like that - sorry about being so vague. Anyway I took out SMP support, and now it boots with 2 cpu's - one normal Xeon + HT for the second (no idea how to disable that - but I don't need to)... its been running perfect for 4 days now and I put it under SERIOUS load.. has anyone else had SMP problems on 5.2.1?

Hmmm... something like this:

filename...
which will replace all non-ascii characters with '_'. This doesn't
take any account of possible name collisions and it will probably get
it's knickers in a twist if you use it to rename whole directory
trees, rather than just files in the current directory.

help me make a Mail Server choice
Hi again It turned out to be a public mail server as well! The choice for the MTA on fell on postfix :) Now I have to chose POP/IMAP and Virus/Spam. I would appreciate if you can give me some input on your experience with Cyrus or Courier, since they are my choices for pop/imap. Also I'd like some suggestions on what to use for virus/spam protection, and how they are implemented in postfix? My first mail on the subject from 2004-06-01: I have some trouble choosing between postfix and qmail for the new corporate mail server I'll be making. I'm looking for the one with least administrative overhead (since I run a one man show) and security is a big issue. Also, I'm looking for some guidance (choices) for POP, IMAP and webMail interface as well as Virus and SPAM (preferably free) protection. Another issue is the FreeBSD version. Should I stay with the 4.x-STABLE or should I go with the 5.x. If I set up a 5.2-Release, will the upgrade to 5.3-STABLE be enough, or is there a possibility that I will have to reformat and do a clean 5.3 install. 10x ahead -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 5.2.1 SMP problems
Le 04/06/2004 à 11:47:14+0200, Dave Raven a écrit Hi all, Installed 5.2.1 on a high load server - albeit not recommended - and it was working perfectly with SMP support. It picked up 4 cpu's and appeared to be using them all. (The box is a dual 2.4gig Xeon machine). Anyway, the box was as I said under quite a bit of load, and would die about once a day - just reboot. I looked into it a bit and found whenever I put more load on (e.g. a make install in ports) it would panic - vm_load_page or something like that - sorry about being so vague. Anyway I took out SMP support, and now it boots with 2 cpu's - one normal Xeon + HT for the second (no idea how to disable that - but I don't need to)... its been running perfect for 4 days now and I put it under SERIOUS load.. has anyone else had SMP problems on 5.2.1? I couldn't find anything about it at first glimpse... Have you shure this problem is with FreeBSD ? First check your memory with some software like memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) When I've this kind of problem, always it's because some error in RAM.

Introduction to R R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly ATT, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity. One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control. R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms and similar systems (including FreeBSD and Linux), Windows and MacOS. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am still using it in a testing enviroment, moderately using the named's cache. So far total memory usage by the OS is very low (swap is hardly used). I wonder if named would eat up all the ram in a production enviroment. Can't imagine that, actually. Nowhere I have seen warnings against such disaster.

NTPD hangs on boot
Hi, Recently did a cvsup and make world procedure, have a couple glitches. NTP will no longer start by enabling it in rc.conf. At each boot I see the starting nptd...and then nothing; the booting process hangs. I have to kill nptd via ctrl-c. Then boot process proceeds normally. I can manually start nptd from the command line, and it starts, runs and syncs up normally. Probably related, after the make world, sendmail also gave me trouble, complaining that it could find file after configuration file (all of which existed). Then it would inform me that Recipient names must be specified as if I was trying to use sendmail to send a message. I screwed around with this for a while, to no avail, then just installed postfix 'cause I missed my mail server too much. That fixed the issue with sendmail hanging up the boot. Any clues to what I might have done wrong, or neglected to do?

ipnat and ipfw dummynet
Hi, I'm interested to hear how people utilise dummynet in a NAT environment. How does one create a pipe for a NAT network without effecting the actual LAN speed ? For example, on the gateway: $fwcmd add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any out $fwcmd add pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.1.0/24 in $fwcmd pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s $fwcmd pipe 2 config bw 128Kbit/s The above example would be fine if 192.168.1.0/24 were only talking to the internet but unfortunately it also effects the machines from talking to each other internally. The only interface you can specify is the internal interface(bge1) because this is the only time that ipfw will see the addresses before they are passed to NAT(ipnat) and will not be seen on the external interface(bge0). So basically the above example should be written as: $fwcmd add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any out via bge1 $fwcmd add pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.1.0/24 in via bge1 This however will also give 192.168.1.0/24 an internal LAN speed of 128Kbit/s which is to say quite humorous ;-) What is the solution to this ? ..I'm obviously missing something.

Re: ipnat and ipfw dummynet
Sorry, I failed to point out my current network configuration. I have 2 internal networks which use NAT, one class C ( 192.96.48.0/24 ) and one rfc1918 ( 192.168.1.0/24 ). The internal interface(bge1) is configured with the class c network and I have added a route to bge1 for 192.168.1.0/24. All traffic on the 192.96.48.0/24 network internally is routed via the gateway to get to the 192.168.1.0 network. Hope that makes sense.

x-forwarding problem - no window contents
Hi, I.m having a problem with x-forwarding. I have looked through past questions but I haven.t seen anything on this particular topic. I have two FreeBSD 5.2_1 machines at home, one of which I run headless. Usually I manage the headless machine from windows using x-forwarding and either exceed or x-win and putty. Recently I decided that I hate windows so much that it was time to change fulltime to FreeBSD on my desktop however a problem arises. When I forward anything from the server to my desktop machine I don't get the contents of any window. The window frame appears along with the title and is sized correctly but there is nothing inside the frame. I have tried using several different window managers and different users in the hopes it was some sort of setting I had accidentally triggered but to no avail. Has anybody seen this before and how do I fix it? I assume that it is a problem on the desktop machine since forwarding does work between the server and other boxes.

MIME-Tools, sendmail or Eudora?
Please feel free to send me to another forum (Eudora, MIME-Tools or sendmail) as appropriate. I just thought I would start here for clues, (and in the hope of finding a server-side magic bullet, since I cannot really control the senders or receivers of the messages in question). We're using FreeBSD 4.9 on our mail server, with a sendmail configuration not much modified from the default except for domain name, acceptable relays, and masquerading. Whenever we get a message that has been handled with X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.411 (Entity 5.404), which we see most frequently on Bugtraq, we have a problem reading it in Eudora. On the server side, peering into the mailbox file in /var/mail shows that the message is intact, but that the message body's lines are using a Windows-like line break (CRLF), as opposed to normal messages that are using only a line feed. Ironically, my Windows-based email client (Eudora) will not render the Windows-like message bodies properly. I see http://search.cpan.org/dist/MIME-tools/lib/MIME/Tools/traps.pod, but it's not clear (to me) where in the sender-server-receiver chain this discrepancy between CRLF and LF should be addressed. Is the problem here that: (a) the sender is not formatting the message correctly (b) my server is not rewriting the message correctly (c) the Windows client is not rendering the message correctly Is there anything I can do to my FreeBSD/sendmail server configuration to make this a non-issue? -- Greg Barniskis Library Interchange Network (LINK) South Central Library System (SCLS) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Getting Compaq WL110 card to work
Hello, I have NetBSD 2.0 BETA installed on my laptop. Unfortunately, NetBSD does not support my Compaq WL110 wireless card. I looked at the FreeBSD man pages and saw that FreeBSD does support my wireless card. I thought I would be able to take the card's id and other pertinent information from the FreeBSD source code and put it in an appropriate file in the NetBSD source and recompile my kernel. I poked around the FreeBSD source code and found the file sys/dev/wi/if_wi_pccard.c which had an array called wi_pccard_products. This was similar to a structure found in the NetBSD source file dev/pcmcia/if_wi_pcmcia.c. I figured that I would be able to get my card id from there. However, the card is not listed in the array; however, all the other cards seem to be listed there. The Compaq NC5004 is listed, but that uses a different chip. I'm guessing that wi(4) falsely states that it supports my wireless card. I don't know much about driver programming, but am I missing something here? Even if the if_wi_pccard.c did have my card listed, would I be able to use it port it over to NetBSD (assuming I got all of the #define statements, too)? NetBSD supports the Hermes chip. BTW, my wireless card does work: it works fine on my Windows 2000 partition.

Re: Running FreeBSD/PostgreSQL on high-end dual Xeon box
Thanks guys! After doing some additional reading and your comments I think staying with FreeBSD coupled with a good RAID controller would probably be the least hassle, reliable, and good performing setup. I am looking at a dual Xeon box using an Adpatec 2200S RAID controller with the write buffer backup battery module. We will also probably install 4GB of ram. Now the new question is which RAID level would provide the best balance of performance and reliability... I currently have a similar setup that has RAID 0+1 with one hot spare ready in case of mirror disk failure. I had been considering the same setup, but it might make sense just to use 3 disk RAID5 with hot spare ready. The new RAID controller implementation might not buy us much by using 0+1 vs. 5.

Problem with AMD PCnet/Home internal phy
Guys, I asked about this during the reign of FreeBSD 4.7 - and no one had any ideas, so I thought I would toss this question back out now that three new versions have crept up - and none indicated any changes to the pcn driver. I have a Compaq IA-1 internet appliance with an AMD 79C978 (PCnet/Home) ethernet adapter built-in. Both internal PHY's (the 1Mbit/s HPNA and 10Mbits/s 10base-T) are attached to hardware. The problem is that the pcn driver doesn't seem to see them. It looks for an external PHY on the MII bus, and failing to find one, doesn't load the driver. dmesg output: pcn0: AMD PCnet/Home HomePNA port 0x1c00-0x1c1f mem 0x4120-0x4120001f irq 9 at device 5.0 on pci0 pcn0: Ethernet address: 00:01:fa:ff:ac:57 pcn0: MII without any PHY! device_probe_and_attach: pcn0 attach returned 6 pciconf output (relevant section) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5:0: class=0x02 card=0x20001022 chip=0x20011022 rev=0x52 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)' device = 'AM79C978 PCnet Single Chip Home Networking Controller 1/10Mbps' class= network subclass = ethernet Is there a way to get the pcn driver to use the internal PHY's? I'd like to use this interface, as it would obviate the need for an external USB ethernet adapter. Also, how does this driver work with regular PCI HPNA/ethernet cards based on this chip? The driver claims it supports these cards, but I'm not sure how if it can't use the onboard HPNA PHY?

In my experience, ntp hanging on boot usually means the network is down and/or DNS isn't working properly. The AMD automounter does the same thing. My usual workaround it to boot into single user mode, and add exit commands to the startup scripts for ntp and amd so they don't attempt to start. Once I have everything on the network working, most particularly DNS, then I remove these exit commands. On machines running SYSV scripts (e.g. OpenPKG.org things on FreeBSD) that aren't generally on the network, I put an exit immediately after the ``start'' case where I can comment it out to start the service when on the network. This allows the ``stop'' function to work properly if the service is running, preventing locking problems that might occur if the exit were at the top of the script. -- Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

If it's set to YES, then fsck is rerun with the -y option. Setting it to YES will allow the system to boot automatically under almost all conditions, but you may lose data that you could have recovered if you'd run fsck manually ... assuming you know what you're doing well enough to recover that data. background_fsck controls whether the initial boot fsck is run in the background, after booting, or in the foreground during the boot, forcing the boot process to wait on it (background_fsck=NO is basically the same behaviour as pre-5 systems) background_fsck_delay is pretty obvious.

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.
