If the address you are using is incorrect, it's quite possible that the machine you are (successfully) pinging isn't the FreeBSD machine, just another unrelated host that responds to ping, as most hosts do, but doesn't have a web server running. If your machines are connected to the ADSL modem via a switch (which is how it sounds like you have things set up), the FreeBSD web server would still see and respond to the traffic addressed to its (incorrect) IP from your two other machines. I can think of two ways to test this: One, ping the host from the external non-working machine and monitor the FreeBSD machine to see if it is being pinged. I'm sure there's a way to do that, I just don't know what it is :) The other is to temporarily switch IP addresses with one of your other known working machines and see if you can access the web server via that address. -- Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cvsup....base and prefix???
I have successfully used cvsup a few times now...and i am comfortable with what the base and the prefix do. My question is why would someone put things in different locations than for instance./usr for both base and/or prefix? I have seen a few different options used both in the cvs up faq on the cvsup homepage, the handbook and also in the complete freebsd they all have different places listed..but not one single place is any discussion about the theory or logic behind where it is placed. This is really just a help me understand the philosophy question as it seems that no matter where i place my 'base' and 'prefix' paths..the cvsup will work...just trying to get a grasp on _why_ i would want it one place more than another.

throttling cpu speed to run cooler
Dear All, I've been looking for a utility to reduce cpu speed to make my laptop run cooler. Ideally, it should reduce cpu speed to about 20% when speed is not needed, and restore speed to 100% when the load requires it. There is such a utility for Linux, called powernowd: http://www.deater.net/john/powernowd.html Using this with Debian, my cpu temperature drops by about 15 degrees Celsius! I'm just wondering if a utility similar to powernowd already exists for FreeBSD?

Xservers don't listen on the network by default nowadays, because
running X across the network in plain is about as bad as using rsh(1),
or unencrypted telnet(1). Ideally you should be tunnelling the X
session through ssh(1) -- look for the description of the '-X' and
'-Y' flags to ssh ('-Y' is only available with more recent versions of
ssh(1)), and the 'ForwardX11' command you can use in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config.
If you're tunnelling through ssh(1), everything should be setup
automatically for you: your $DISPLAY on the remote machine will look
like 'localhost:10.0' or 'remote.host.name:10.0' -- don't fiddle with
the $DISPLAY setting, or you'll never get the forwarding to work.

Re: 7520 Chipset support in 4.x
Many of the new MBs from such tiny vendors as Dell and Supermicro are based on the 7520, and word is that FreeBSD 4.x doesn't support it. Is support forthcoming? We have 2 Dell PowerEdge 1850 servers which have the e7520 chipset. They hang consistently in 4.10-RELEASE and below whenever there is high network or disk utilization. We have not been able to get any debugging info. After upgrading to 4.10-STABLE a couple of weeks ago, they no longer hang, but they are _really_ slow to perform network and disk operations. They work fine in FreeBSD 5.3, but unfortunately our applications do not run without recompiling. We do not want to change our environment to support different binaries for different machines, and we don't want to use 5.X in production until it is STABLE. I want to echo the above question. Are there patches available or forthcoming to fix the problems with the e7520? Thanks, - Rob Watt I think that we can imply from the lack of response on this subject that 4.x is not really still supported, since just about all of the new motherboards for Intel processors from leaders Dell and Supermicro are based on the 7520. So, ironically, in order to use the newer, faster processors with FreeBSD, you have to use the newer, slower version of the O/S.

So, ironically, in order to use the newer, faster processors with FreeBSD, you have to use the newer, slower version of the O/S. Yikes! Considering 4.x kept getting tweaked all the way to 4.10 where 4.10 is benched even faster than 4.9 in my experiences with the OS, I find it reasonable to assume that new code that hasn't fully matured and been fully adopted by mass may be slower. As in your previous post on the subject, I find it no where near as slow as you have stated. For one who couldn't figure out how to compile without the witness options and various other debug stuff into the kernel and base system, it prolly would be slower. After I took this stuff out of the build my benches were greatly improved, but alas, not to 4.10 speeds. Given time and mass acceptance of the OS which will adopt more coders and patches from people not yet using the OS I would expect it to speed up even more. When you do such a radical swing in codebases and haven't fully tested them, you should expect it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So to answer your question the bug was never fixed because it is a design implementation issue.

Laptops as routers
Greetings again. I'm looking to buy a couple of cheap old laptops to be used as temporary routers. They just need to be able to handle PCMCIA Ethernet cards, not much more (having an Ethernet connector on the motherboard is fine, of course.) I don't want to run XWindows, and I'm sure 64 MB and a 1gig hard drive would suffice. Are there any brands/models I should lean towards?

Re: 7520 Chipset support in 4.x
As in your previous post on the subject, I find it no where near as slow as you have stated. For one who couldn't figure out how to compile without the witness options and various other debug stuff into the kernel and base system, it prolly would be slower. After I took this stuff out of the build my benches were greatly improved, but alas, not to 4.10 speeds. The POINT is not how much slower 5.3 is than 4.10 is, its the fact that a MAJOR chipset isnt well supported in what is SUPPOSED to be the mainstream, stable release. I know its difficult for you to stay on point, but at least try to get the point before ranting about the subject. Since you just babble about your tests but have never shown any results, no one really knows what your tests test, if anything. The only test anyone has posted was completely bogus (some nonsense about firing packets through a socket interface), so you just can't say my tests show unless you clarify what you have done. When 5.3 is released we can banter about benchmarks, as it seems pointless to do it now since its not done. It may be pointless anyway, since they've pretty much admitted that 5.3 isn't (yet) going to rival the efficiency of 4.x. I can accept that, but if 5.x isnt ready, then important chipsets should be supported in 4.x BEFORE they are supported in 5, not when someone gets around to backporting it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Slow Startup

It will not go past this spot, and it just sits there, then after time I get the login prompt to which I am able to login and then do things in the shell. I have noticed this a few other times when I was first installing FreeBSD on the machine, and never thought much of it as I always had other things to do. Now that I am able to devote time to getting the server setup, I find it hard to get things done when rebooting then waiting such a long time to log back in after a reboot.

Last time I asked about this, it was suggested that the drive might be bad. The bios had a test that passed the drive. It was then suggested that I use the WD test utility. I wasn't able to do this at the time because I don't have a floppy on this system, and creating a bootable CD from the image didn't work (I think it had a: hardcoded in). Well, I finally broke down and hijacked the floppy from another machine and ran the WD diags. Passed with flying colors, both the quick test and the extended test. The drive is fine. A useful program on RELENG_5 is /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools/ have a quick look to see if there are any bad sectors on the drive. Run the daemon, and do a snapshot (smartctl -a ad0) before and after the crash and see if there is anything new recorded on the drive. Will do, but I'm pretty sure at least one of the three utilities I've already run would have found a bad sector . . .

For sure turn HT off in your BIOS and make sure you use SCHED_4BSD and NOT ULE I turned off HT on my Dell PE400SC (uses Intel ICH5 chipset) almost instantly after installing FreeBSD. Partitioning and labeling my SATA drives went just fine. System is on a PATA drive. Even striping the two SATA drives with Vinum followed by newfs was fine. System locked hard the instant I actually tried to use the SATA drives. Reformatted without vinum and had similar lock/panic. This was possibly 5.2.1-p10. Have darn near the latest 5.3 on it now and its running nicely w/o HT. Pretty sure ULE was the scheduler being used when I had problems as I remember when SCHED_4BSD was the new default. IMO, when it worked, ULE ran smoother. Now it seems that one process can hog the filesystem resources and block out another doing the exact same thing but to another file. That instance with HT was the first and only time FreeBSD messed up a filesystem and I've had at least one FreeBSD machine running 24/7 since 2.0.0-RELEASE. As a result I'm not much in the mood to re-enable HT now that I have real data on the drives. This is a bit disconcerting. That implies that 5.2 isn't SMP stable.

You should download the Soekris email lists' archives and do a bit of research. Yes, FreeBSD can and does run well off a CF card. There are plenty of tricks one can perform using the FreeBSD source to optimize for that target such as linking (most) all executables to shared libraries rather than static. Might as well put / and /usr on the same filesystem (necessary for the shared library thing to work right all the time). Add noatime to your mount flags. And hack up most of the /etc/rc scripts so as to minimize writing to your limited-life CF media. Might be a good idea to make /var and /tmp as md filesystems. IIRC one set of scripts and utilities for creating a minimal FreeBSD for Soekris is called MiniBSD. Also look into picoBSD. IIRC this is where one puts most all needed files and binaries into one file image. Is how FreeBSD creates bootable install floppies. Make one with nothing but your router image and you might chose to boot the Soekris diskless off another FreeBSD machine. Its been almost 2 years since I last did these sorts of tricks. Started with MiniBSD and expanded. For a former employer so I don't have it to share. The Soekris products are solid and very good values. I think we had a few CPU's get too hot. Also I don't like to hear the oils on my finger sizzle when I touch a chip. So we glued big aluminum heatsinks to the CPU with special heatsink epoxy. Those heatsinks barely got warm in an unvented box. Our heatsinks blocked use of the PCMCIA slot, which we didn't use. Caution with the PCI slot, its 3.3 volt only. Hard to find a sound card which works at 3.3. We bought one big heatsink surplus. Then cut about 1.75 squares out of it with a bandsaw for use on the Soekris. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: More Intel ICH5 SATA150 hangs

Partitioning and labeling my SATA drives went just fine. System is on a PATA drive. Even striping the two SATA drives with Vinum followed by newfs was fine. System locked hard the instant I actually tried to use the SATA drives. Reformatted without vinum and had similar lock/panic. This was possibly 5.2.1-p10. Have darn near the latest 5.3 on it now and its running nicely w/o HT. Pretty sure ULE was the scheduler being used when I had problems as I remember when SCHED_4BSD was the new default. IMO, when it worked, ULE ran smoother. Now it seems that one process can hog the filesystem resources and block out another doing the exact same thing but to another file. That instance with HT was the first and only time FreeBSD messed up a filesystem and I've had at least one FreeBSD machine running 24/7 since 2.0.0-RELEASE. As a result I'm not much in the mood to re-enable HT now that I have real data on the drives. This is a bit disconcerting. That implies that 5.2 isn't SMP stable. Nobody with authority ever stated 5.x was stable in any form or fashion. I'm using it because if that box blows up it won't really be any skin of my nose. Meanwhile the fact it has had some problems has in some small way contributed toward getting them fixed. For example, vinum panics at boot if autostarted, but gvinum does not. As for SMP, its my understanding thats what the entire 5.x series is all about. Massive changes for SMP. Its also the root of the design philosophy disagreement that spurred the creation of Dragonfly. Only time will tell which, or both, are right. Meanwhile both are working on different paths toward improving SMP performance. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I use ctl+alt+F1 to go from GNOME to a virtual terminal, then try ctl+alt+backspace, it does nothing (except beep). Top reports that the processes that come up when I start gdm are XFree86, gdmlogin, and two gdm-binary processes. KILL seems to have no effect on them. There's got to be a way to shut GNOME and XFree86 down without rebooting! At least that works. I wonder if this may be the time to go to version 5 and the newer version of X?
