Apache port
I installed Apache version 2.0.43 on my FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE server. The httpd file is set up with Listen 80 and Listen 8000. The problem is that it will not accept connections on port 80, even though it is listening (checked using netstat, and sockstat). It works fine on port 8000. I have never configured a router, so as far as I know, theres not one running. I am running a mail server, ftp, and a telnet server without problems in addition to the web server. It is not a problem with my ISP, nor my router as it will work if I forward port 80 to another computer. As far as I can tell, its being blocked by FreeBSD, but I have no idea where or why, nor how to fix it. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Problem with INDEX
Hi. I ran into some problems with portsdb -uU since the INDEX file has been removed from the CVS. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. In my understanding, after a cvsup of the ports tree, i have to do a make fetchindex. Works fine. But what about a portsd -uU? Is this one obsolet (but portupgrade needs the INDEX.db?)? So the only INDEX file i have is INDEX if i run portsdb -uU i get en Error 1. If i run just portversion -v after a cvsup, i get a Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.. after a while also an error 1. So, is this just a problem at the moment, or does it depends on the removal of INDEX from the CVS tree? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
php4 ports configuration file
I currently have the php4 port installed with support for various programs such as postgresql. I would like to add support for imap; so I did a make clean (in both php4 and php4-extensions) followed by a make so there is no directory for working files. Rather than see a screen to allow me to select various extensions, I saw a line that stated that a saved configuration file had been found. Where can I find the saved configuration file? (No working directory exists after make clean.) How can I add imap to the existing configuration?

ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp, after source update to RELENG_5_3
Hi, I maintain two FreeBSD servers currently running 5.2p8, and was attempting to update one of them to the 5.3 release. I have cvsup-ed to RELENG_5_3, build world and kernel (GENERIC, and was also using GENERIC kernel with 5.2), and then installed kernel. On reboot, it came up with the following message: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ar0s1a no such device 'ar' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 If I listed boot devices, at the prompt after the above message, it showed the ad4s1a, ad6s1a that ar0s1a maps onto, etc. I was able to unload the kernel and revert back to 5.2, so it would appear to be a problem with the new kernel not recognising the raid array on the server. The controller is detected as: kernel: atapci1: SiI 3112 SATA150 controller port 0x4010 -0x401f,0x4038-0x403b,0x4040-0x4047,0x403c-0x403f,0x4048-0x404f mem 0xfc300400-0 xfc3005ff irq 27 at device 3.0 on pci3 Unfortunately I dont have the boot message from the failed 5.3 kernel, cos it didnt log it anywhere, and the server is remote - so repeating it isnt easy. I think I remember seeing a similar message under 5.3 though. After some research, I find that raid support for SiI0680 ATA controller is not working in this release. Although this is not the same controller as I have, the symptoms seem similar - configuration stored under 5.2 or prior may be corrupted. Is it possible, likely, or even safe, that I would need to (re)run the atacontrol create commands to recreate the raid array under a 5.3 kernel - and can this be done without destorying the data/partitions already there? Any other suggestions as to how to work around it - without having to (re)install the OS from scratch?

Not directly an answer to your question, but it might help you...
Do you use portupgrade and friends? If so, you can try setting the
MAKE_ARGS for php4-extensions in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, something
like:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/php4-extensions' = [
'WITH_PGSQL=yes',
'WITH_IMAP=yes',
...
],
}
(All the available extensions are mentioned in the port's Makefile -
just prepend each one you want with WITH_)
You can then use `portupgrade -f php4-extensions' to force a reinstall,
which will pick up the new settings.
Like I say, not a direct answer, but you may find it useful...

unusual behaviour of captured packets - problem with bpf?WAS:unexplained behavior of rtadvd
I have found, since this was originally posted, that when the packet captures are done from a system outside the IPv6 router there are no abnormal packets seen.(with thanks to SUZUKI, Shinsuke @ KAME Project for assistance). The original packet captures were done from within the router. It would seem from this that bpf might be behaving in an unusual manner. I have read the documentation for bpf but have not found anything that explains the behavior noted below. Can anyone shed light on what might be happening here? Any help appreciated! Ken Tollefson Ken Tollefson wrote: I hope this question is going to the right list. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate list it should go to. I have installed Freebsd 4.9 and have configured it as an IPv6 router. I captured some of the packets sent by rtadvd and found what appeared to be corrupt frames. The output shown below is from ethereal but tcpdump and snort show the same patterns. The detail from Frame 4 below is actually the same as the last 64 bytes of Frame 5 and this pattern is repeated, with each RA that is sent by rtadvd being preceded by the 64-byte 'fragment' which is misinterpreted as a Fiber Channel frame. I found a reference to a problem with the way mbufs are handled by various NICs so tried three different cards using the xl0, rl0 and fxp0 drivers and found the same behaviour in each case. The original ipv6 software has been replaced with the latest Kame snap available for FreeBSD4.9 with no change. I have been unable to find a reference to this behavior in the FAQs or lists.

Re: annoying dhclient error messages

I updated the system last week (tag=RELENG_5), but that did not help. Interestingly, I do not see these messages when running Debian GNU/Linux on the very same computer. Google did not reveal anything helpful. This really does look like the server is sending out some bad parameters. Probably you were using a different DHCP client on Linux. I'd suggest just changing the syslog configuration to filter those into a new log file, and block them from the console.

Re: 5.3 SSH Unable to authenticate
scott renna [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Had a concern regarding sshd on a freshly built and cvsuped 5.3 box. Here's whats going on. Whenever I try to ssh to the system from a Windows client, my system accepts the FreeBSD SSH key, but then cannot authenticate. This is the message received from SecureCRT: SecureCRT has disconnected from the server. Reason: Unable to authenticate using any of the configured authentication methods. I checked SecureCRT's configuration and it is as it was when I was running 5.2. I had no issues sshing. I took at look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and the section entitled Authentication, and here's what is shown on line 38: #Authentication: #LoginGraceTime 2m Is it odd for there to be nothing under Authentication? I don't have a 5.2 box to take a look at to view its sshd_config file. Configure SecureCRT to use keyboard-interactive authentication. I believe you can configure sshd to accept old-style password authentication, but since SecureCRT supports the more secure approach, it would be better to use that. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: security.jail.sysvipc_allowed: implications ?

If I understood correctly, setting this to 1 allows processes inside the jail to communicate to the host server/other jails using SysV shared memory, but I don't understand the fully implications of this. I don't either, but I believe it basically means that if a program (inside a jail or on the host system) were to create some shared memory that everyone was allowed access to, then even processes in other jails could access this memory, which may be contrary to what you would expect from a jailed environment. Basically all of your SysV stuff would be global as opposed to separate for each jail. Is there any concern using this sysctl as 1 on a system with only a jail without any ssh access, and nothing but courier, postfix, and apache? (inside jail) If you don't care that processes in other jails and on the host would be able to manipulate any shared memory from that jail as it would on a normal unjailed system, then no, I think not. As far as SysV IPC goes it makes it as if nothing is jailed. PS I have had real problems getting SysV message queues to work inside a jail even with this sysctl set, but I have never bothered to chase it down as yet. pgpVTMZ010gvs.pgp Description: PGP signature

But my computer just cann't detect it and I also tried to use other card, or other pci slot, also, bios does detect it.

That's a very bad thing to do :) So remapping is only done on a write or on a read where the data was recovered using ECC. I would expect ATA drives to do the same.

Sorry I'm late on this ... you've got a good technical
answer already; I thought maybe I could add more
detail; there is, apparently, a more or less historical
reason, as well as the practical one. The practical
one: it's a Good Thing(tm) to have sysinstall(8) in
/stand/ (on the root partition) where you can get at it
in the event /usr is unavailable. Indeed, it pretty
much *has* to be under / to install the system
History wise, sysinstall started out 10 years ago
in /sbin. Looks as if Poul-Henning-Kamp and either
Bill Paul (or Paul Traina?) did the work. From the
oldest dusty attic:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/sysinstall/Attic/
Then, for 2.0, Jordan Hubbard birthed the monster
that, I guess, is still sysinstall today ... although it's
morphed so many times, it's probably not recognizable
as the same beast any longer[?] {Basically, how could I
know, as a relative newb with Neandertal C skills?}
For a long time afterwards, sysinstall lived in
/usr/src/release:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/release/sysinstall/Attic/
Both of these sysinstalls, near as I can tell, built their
binary(ies) into /stand/, but nowhere else.
Now, sysinstall doesn't inhabit userland, per se.
AFAIK /usr/src/release doesn't get rebuilt during
a make world cycle; furthermore, though slightly
less relevant, /stand/ isn't in $PATH --- if you try
whereis sysinstall on a 4.X box:
#whereis sysinstall
sysinstall: /usr/share/man/man8/sysinstall.8.gz
Perhaps I'm reading history wrongly, but it seems the
Project wanted to DTRT and make sure that if an
updated manpage was installed for sysinstall, the
updated binary was, also. To have the manpage
say something the binary can't/won't do violates
the POLA, something the Project is exceptionally
loath to do in almost every situation
So, the bikeshed got painted again: sysinstall
was moved to /usr/sbin, where it would be
rebuilt when the system was updated. Prior to
that time (Jan. 2001), you had to go to
/usr/src/release/sysinstall and make all install to
update the binary under /stand/ --- leading to a
situation where you might have, say, 4.2 installed,
but have a sysinstall binary left over from 3.0 or
something, and it wasn't very useful. Furthermore,
you can still have a similar situation in 4.X, because
the change was never MFC'd to -STABLE, and therefore
hasn't appeared until 5.X; (Hmm, will this become a FAQ?)
Note I didn't say same problem, but same situation;
I don't personally know if any additional work on
sysinstall during the 4.X's reign as production
release would have rendered an older version
obsolete or not. I'm tempted to say it hasn't much,
because the libh project was supposed to complete
reimplement the installer, and I think the old
monster had been more/less left to hide in his
cave and blow smoke at passers-by (complaining
about the installer *IS* a FAQ)
You can find the discussion about the change at:

of shows how it got hashed out amongst the committers, and has some
other factoids that I found educational. I hope my penchant for historical
digression hasn't annoyed you, and welcome corrections to what I've
presented as facts (though we needn't be pedantic, IMHO)

Re: make -j$n buildworld : use of -j investigated
At 12:51 PM +0900 11/23/04, Rob wrote: Laurence Sanford wrote: Rob wrote: With these simple tests, I come to the conclusion that make -j$n buildworld is best with n = number of CPUs. Does that make sense? Rob. This is what I've been telling people and using myself for years. However, I've been shot down on this several times, so I just leave everyone alone and let them do their own thing. You and I will be getting it done a little faster though. Not really faster, but higher values do not make a difference, well, as long as the extra processes do not force the use of swap. Intensified swapping because of a high -j value slows down the build considerably. I don't understand why this is reason for debate. My test has obvious results on various of my PCs, and was very quickly done: I wrote a script with a loop that built the world again and again, doing a 'touch' to a file immediately before and after the build. Got all my data within a day or so. There are many things will effect what different people see for buildworld times on their own hardware. You also have to make some effort to make sure you're doing *exactly* the same thing on each test build, as your results may be skewed due to various caching that can go on. You're not the only one who has benchmarked this for yourself, and my guess is that everyone who does a serious benchmark will simply find out the right answer for *their* hardware. I have had dual- processor machines where buildworlds kept getting faster up to -j9, but even -j9 was only about 2% faster than -j4, so I stuck with -j4. In my case, I tried with -j values from 1 to 15. On my single processor i386 systems, I generally find that -j2 is faster than -j1. Anything more than -j2 and performance seems to get worse. On my single processor sparc64 system, the disks are so slow that there's no point doing -j at all. So my own rule of thumb is -j of 2*number-of-CPU's (but then most of my machines have plenty of memory), except for the Ultra-10. Also, did you do your benchmarking before or after the recent fixes to -j processing? I haven't redone them after that change, and I think it will be interesting to see what effect that has. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kevin,
Thanks for adding the historical view to the answer. Wow. All
I wanted to do was learn enough about FreeBSD to run a web
server and host mailing lists. Instead, I find myself immersed
in an interesting and challenging new culture with knowledgeable
mentors.
Unfortunately, given my engineering background (I retired in
1985), I have to know why; I'm not satisfied with just do it
and don't ask. As a result, this isn't going to be as simple
as I thought!

iicbb - OK with 4.8, broken with 5.3
Hi iicbb - OK with 4.8, broken with 5.3 I am trying to migrate from 4.8-RELEASE to 5.3-RELEASE. Everything appears to function properly except my TV card. Since I have installed 5.3-RELEASE on a separate hard drive it is easy to compare it to the 4.10-RELEASE. The hardware on these two systems are identical except for the hard drives: EPIC-ME6000 (VIA) mainboard KWorld TV Tuner PCI Card KW-TV878RF-PRO On the 4.10 system I can use 'tuneradio' to set the FM radio frequency on the TV card. On the 5.3 system I get nothing but static and see this error: tuneradio -f 10110 bktr0: arg=10110 temp=10110 bktr0: tv_freq returned: -1 I have compiled the bktr driver for 5.3 with BKTR_RADIO_DEBUG. I notice that iicbus1 is missing in the dmesg output of 5.3, but I have no idea if that is important. I also had to add the option BKTR_USE_FREEBSD_SMBUS or the driver for the I2C bus did not appear in dmesg at all. Any sugestions would be appreciated.

I wouldn't be so hard on the fetch command. If you don't have external DNS resolution then a lot of things won't work. I was once stuck in an office with limited http/ftp access, thus, no fetch command. I did have browser http access after I authenticated to Novell's BorderMangler.

Hi FreeBSD Administrator, I am working on some FreeBSD driver code that was written a few years back for FreeBSD 4.3. I already downloaded and installed 4.10 (using FTP ISO image), but there have been so many changes in the kernel between the 4.3 and 4.10.

As a result, I've had a lot of problems compiling the driver. I wish that I could be able to download the 4.3 and start from there. Is there a way to get 4.3 ?

Re: Apache port

I have never configured a router, so as far as I know, theres not one running. I am running a mail server, ftp, and a telnet server without problems in addition to the web server. It is not a problem with my ISP, nor my router as it will work if I forward port 80 to another computer. As far as I can tell, its being blocked by FreeBSD, but I have no idea where or why, nor how to fix it. Ok a few things to check (sorry if i'm going for the basics but they need ruling out) 1) are you running ipf/ipfw/pf and if so have you allowed port 80 2) does telnet localhost 80 then a get / give you an error message or just connection refused ? 3) not sure if apache uses tcp wrappers but possibly check your /etc/hosts.allow --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Or either? jm Either - although the likelihood of a private network's DNS being publicly advertised is small. The some_secret_domain part is really very common. Usually it is called domain forwarding or domain masking. This is useful companies that, for whatever reason, want to redirect traffic from one URL to another. For instance, HP bought Compaq. If you try to go to compaq.com, you'll arrive at hp.com. Really, the only thing matters is the .xxx part and which DNS root servers you use. A number of alternative DNS networks outside of ICANN's control have been in existence for some years, the most famous and widely supported being new.net and adns.net. Of course, you need to be authoritative for a secondary level domain if you expect systems not using your DNS servers to get to that domain. Other than that you can follow whatever naming scheme makes sense to you. Generally, however, the tertiary domain level is the system's function: www, ftp, mail, etc. if the system is public. Also, any public DNS probably shouldn't have things like ccard-srvr.company.xxx or database.company.xxx - no sense in handing out invitations to the barbarian hordes. HTH, Stheg __ Do you Yahoo!?

rc.network glitch
Hello!
I posted this problem earlier here, but I haven't got any response yet.
I tried to debug it myself and here's where I stand:
The problem was that ppp does not start automatically at system startup,
although all ppp_* variables are properly set in /etc/rc.conf. I tried
to edit /etc/rc.network a little, adding a couple of echo's and a
redirection.
case ${ppp_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
...
su -m ${ppp_user} -c exec ${ppp_command} 21
/var/log/yesppp
echo Yes!!! /var/log/yesppp
echo ${ppp_command} /var/log/yesppp
;;
esac
So after I restarted the box, I have this yesppp file containing only
two lines:
Yes!!!
/usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat mtu
I guess it should mean that everything's okay, but ppp has not been
actually started! There's not even a record in /var/log/ppp.log. I tried
to type by hand:
su -m root -c /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat mtu
and it starts okay. There's no error in dmesg, no kld's are loaded at
startup, network is configured all right. Could anyone hint at how to
debug such problems?
Best regards,
Andrew P.

The fact that the data stored in that structure tends to be orderly in some sort is the result of that order making administering and using the stored data easier (techs are lazy people after all). But something like zdfdfjkb.12462323df.example.com would be valid even though it would contradict the point of using dns to take the burden of remembering complex data (IPs) from people.
