Re: How do I do a COLD Reboot on FreeBSD?
Bob Hall wrote: This may help. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/assembly-language/x86/general/part3/section-5.html Bob Hall Hmmm. Good link. Here's a better one that I just discovered reading about this stuff: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/hackers/2003-11/0205.html I began to notice that the 0x472 code is rampant in these reboot assembler code examples. Then I found out that FreeBSD has its own asembly language found in the boot loaders, etc. OpenBSD and others like Linux use this stuff similarly. Linux seems to give you the option in a config file!! to cold reboot. So this led me to: /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/locore.s Which looks to me the place where a warm boot is guaranteed. By the way, the guy above (Adrian Steinmann) might have cleaned up the code for the btx (usr/src/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.S) in 2003. But his code cleanup never stayed in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot1.S. Example from FreeBSD-5-stable: /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.S has this: movw $0x1234, BDA_BOOT # Do a warm boot ljmp $0x,$0x0 # reboot the machine /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot1.S has the *better* version: movw $0x1234, BDA_BOOT # Do a warm boot ljmp $0xf000,$0xfff0# reboot the machine Anyway, Adrian Steinmann tried to patch the reboot code in btx.s to do some sort of bugfix and troubleshooting on his particular machine. There may have been a regresion here since he tried that, but I don't care much about the BTX or the boot1 code. My issue is for now with the reboot done during a normal full kernel running. That is when SMP code is active and the memory is being actively used. I believe the locore.s file is where I need to look, because it moves this 0x1234 data into the BDA_BOOT location, which is 0x427 in memory. Therefore, I will try to hack the locore.s file and use a zero instead of 0x1234 to move into memory at the BDA_BOOT location. here's my unified diff: -Code --- locore.sThu Jul 8 17:35:34 2004 +++ /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/locore.s Wed Feb 2 01:50:36 2005 @@ -214,7 +214,8 @@ movsb #else /* IBM-PC */ /* Tell the bios to warmboot next time */ - movw$0x1234,0x472 +/* movw$0x1234,0x472 */ +movw$0x,0x472 /* Billy: Perform Cold Reboot! */ #endif /* PC98 */ /* Set up a real frame in case the double return in newboot is executed. */ -Code The only substantial change is that I hope this make my machine do a cold reboot.

How do I get it back? You can reinstall the boot manager FreeBSD comes with in one of three ways: Running DOS, go into the tools/ directory of your FreeBSD distribution and look for bootinst.exe. You run it like so: ...\TOOLS bootinst.exe boot.bin and the boot manager will be reinstalled. Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy again and go to the Custom installation menu item. Choose Partition. Select the drive which used to contain your boot manager (likely the first one) and when you come to the partition editor for it, as the very first thing (e.g. do not make any changes) select (W)rite. This will ask for confirmation, say yes, and when you get the Boot Manager selection prompt, be sure to select ``Boot Manager''. This will re-write the boot manager to disk. Now quit out of the installation menu and reboot off the hard disk as normal. Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy (or CDROM) and choose the ``Fixit'' menu item. Select either the Fixit floppy or CDROM #2 (the ``live'' filesystem option) as appropriate and enter the fixit shell.

You should be able to extract them with dd and boot them externally from my understanding of it. boot1 is normally written to the first sector of the partitionthat freebsd is installed on, if that's the first partition on ur second hard drive then: dd if=/dev/ad1s1 of=boot1.img count=1 will extract the file to boot1.img might NTLDR should be able to use. dd if=/dev/ad1 of=boot0.img count=1 I just tried these again. Same results as when I had used the bs=512 option. Extracting boot0.img gets me back to the NTLDR screen; extracting boot1.img gives me a Boot Error message. But what you said above gave me an idea. Possibly BootPart modifies the extracted bootsectors specially, changing the special parameters to enable booting of the second disk from the first? Its a thought ... maybe the way these files are written to the disk (from where dd extracts them), the special parameters are not such that they can be booted from the first disk. But when BootPart extracts the sectors, it modifies these parameters, enabling the booting. What say? bs=512 is the default. The typical sector size of disk drive is 512 bytes. This is so engrained right now that even flash memory sticks have to emulate 512 byte sectors when there is nothing that actually mandates that for flash chips. Unless BootPart specifically know about how the freebsd boot loaders work and how to reconize them, I doubt that it's modifying those parameters. Now the last 66 bytes of the MBR stores the partition table of the hard drive, it's possible that BootPart might try to modify that as it's not part of the boot loader, but the boot loader uses that information. -- -- Rakhesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I sense much NT in you.

NFS tweaking (mount_nfs and fstab)
Hey FreeBSD community, Firstly - Whats the difference between freebsd-questions and freebsd-newbies? Just the level of detail / questions asked? Let me know if I should be posting somewhere besides this list. Ok, so I've been transferring large tar files (60gig+) to a nfs mount (both client and server are on the same LAN and both FreeBSD). Every so often the transfer halts. My NIC is using the `vr` driver so changed to a Intel card using the fxp driver - I'm told this is much more reliable. anyway... Since I'm spending so much time babying this NFS mount, I'd like to tweak it the best I can for fast, reliable read/write access. I googled and found a suggestion of: mount -t nfs -o -r=32768,-w=32768 bigbang:/backup/ad4m1a/tic /backup Can someone tell me if the -r,-w values are sane? Also - assuming those values are correct and make things reliably faster, how would I A). Check to see that these arguments are in action and B). add them to my /etc/fstab? I've assumed the following: bigbang:/backup/ad4m1a/tic /backup nfs rw,-r=32768,-w=32768 0 0 Is this correct? Any NFS experts care to share there knowledge on how to tweak NFS to a solid, fast state. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dealing with ports installations
I have a question. I attempted to install a port and when it failed I realized that it installed its dependancies that I don't need. ( I don't need the port because I found another that does what I need). Is there any way to safely go through and see what is installed, what depends on it and deinstall those that I don't need/use?

RE: Routing Problem
Thomas, No, I'm not using this box as a router. It is a web server, and I need to spread the load of my web traffic across two separate T1s. I can't just add routes. You need a default route, or parts of the internet would become inaccessible. In my case, you need TWO default routes. I have set up Cisco equipment and Windows workstations with two default routes in the past, and it has worked. In fact, I have one Windows box right now that is configured on both these networks with two default gateways, and it is working. There has to be a way to make it work on FreeBSD.

Re: Routing Problem
Hi Tim.. If you have multiple interfaces and you configure a default gateway for each interface, the default metric determination that is based on the speed of the interface usually uses the fastest interface for default gateway traffic. This is usually desirable in configurations in which the computer is connected to the same network. This behavior can become a problem when the computer exists on two or more disjointed networks (networks that do not provide symmetric reachability on layer3). Symmetric reachability exists when packets can be sent to and received from an arbitrary destination. Because the TCP/IP version4 protocol uses a single default route in FreeBSD's routing table at any one time for default route traffic, default routers configured on multiple interfaces connected to two or more disjointed networks can wreak routing traffic havoc. In FreeBSD, you can manually configure the routing table for the individual interfaces.. but it sounds to me as if you are attempting to use two ethernet interfaces connected to two disjointed networks connected to routers with two seperate subnets in order to balance http requests to one server.. is this the case? I guess I am not fully understanding your configuration ...

RE: Routing Problem
Thomas (and John too), Let me clarify a little bit. What I have is this: A single FreeBSD web server with a single NIC in it Two T1 routers, each with a different subnet. My FreeBSD box has two IP addresses assigned to it, one from the first subnet and one from the second subnet. I want to use round-robin DNS to direct half my web traffic to the first IP and half to the second IP. As I said to John in a private e-mail earlier this morning, I have a Windows 2000 box that is doing exactly this with these two subnets right now. I know it can be done. I have a feeling that the FreeBSD TCP stack lacks the capability. By the way, this also works with Cisco hardware. I have used Cisco equipment in this same configuration in the past. I think they way it SHOULD work is that you should be able to give a FreeBSD box multiple default gateways. When FreeBSD gets a packet to an IP on the first subnet, it should use the default gateway that is also on that subnet. When FreeBSD gets a packet to an IP on the second subnet, it should use the second default gateway. This seems to be the logic that Windows (and Cisco) uses.

This tag (RELENG_5_3) is for system cvsup not for ports cvsup. In case

I would recommend you to use also -b switch in portupgrade (like

cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
3) portsdb -Uu
4) portversion -v
5) portupgrade -arR { to upgrade from all the lower
versions of applications )
id add the following things:
1. install portaudit.
2. portupgrade portdir/portname (e.g. portupgrade lang/perl5)
3. if portupgrade portdir/portname doesnt do, use the -f flag.
4. install freebsd-update from the security ports dir.
5. freebsd-update fetch
6. freebsd-update install
7. in case freebsd-update did find new kernel modules, you might eventually
want to reboot the machine.
Any other steps to do?
What 'make fetchindex' will do?
make fetchindex from what i might tell does the same as portsdb -Uu
(if i got that wrong, please forgive me... i just had my first month with
BSD)
Pls guide me

Re: User Limits
Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I can't seem to find a way to limit FD per UID nor a way to limit memory per UID Both of these can only be applied per process basis. Is there a reason why FreeBSD still doesn't support these limits per UID? it would very useful to be able to limit per UID as well as per process. My current problem is that I have some user processes which need, let's say, 50mb of memory, but I also want to make sure that no single user is using more than 500mb of memory at any given time. Unfortunately, I also need to give users ability to spawn more than 10 processes and without per UID limits, if I set a limit of 20 processes per UID, 20 x 50mb would yield usage over 2x that of 500mb. I've been able to solve such problems by adding a limit on the number of processes per user, but that really only works because my environment is limited. I can imagine trying to write a daemon that would monitor usage and kill processes if they exceeded usage. It's a clunky solution, though. PS: I wasn't sure if I could address this on freebsd-arch, so it's going here. If you're offering to write kernel modifications to do it, then you should take it there. Otherwise, this probably is the right place. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Dealing with ports installations

I attempted to install a port and when it failed I realized that it installed its dependancies that I don't need. ( I don't need the port because I found another that does what I need). Is there any way to safely go through and see what is installed, what depends on it and deinstall those that I don't need/use? There are runtime dependencies and there are build dependencies. After installing, you don't need the build dependencies anymore, but in some cases it might be more convenient to leave them there, like if you're going to track updates for those ports, or if many ports need it to build. To see which dependencies of each type that a particular installed package has, you can use: % pkg_info -rR packagename\* That last backslash (escape) and asterix (wildcard) isn't necessary if you know the complete name of the installed package with the version number. You can see a brief listing of all packages on your system with: % pkg_info And you can see all dependencies if you do: % pkg_info -arR For more, see man pkg_info. Sorry, once again I started writing email right after I woke up ... What I described will show you upward and downward dependencies of installed packages, but not build dependencies. To do that, you can do this, using Firefox as an example (you don't have to be root to do this, but you do to deinstall a port): % cd /usr/ports/www/firefox % make pretty-print-run-depends-list This port requires package(s) atk-1.8.0 bitstream-vera-1.10 expat-1.95.8 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 freetype2-2.1.7_4 gettext-0.14.1 glib-2.4.8 gnomehier-1.0_22 gtk-2.4.14_2 hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 jpeg-6b_3 lcms-1.14,1 libIDL-0.8.4 libXft-2.1.6 libiconv-1.9.2_1 libmng-1.0.8 libxml2-2.6.17 pango-1.6.0 perl-5.8.5 pkgconfig-0.15.0_1 png-1.2.8_1 shared-mime-info-0.15_7 tiff-3.7.1_2 xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.1 xorg-fonts-truetype-6.8.1 xorg-libraries-6.8.1_1 to run. % make pretty-print-build-depends-list This port requires package(s) atk-1.8.0 bitstream-vera-1.10 expat-1.95.8 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 freetype2-2.1.7_4 gettext-0.14.1 glib-2.4.8 gmake-3.80_2 gtk-2.4.14_2 hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 intltool-0.32.1 jpeg-6b_3 lcms-1.14,1 libIDL-0.8.4 libXft-2.1.6 libiconv-1.9.2_1 libmng-1.0.8 libxml2-2.6.17 p5-XML-Parser-2.34_1 pango-1.6.0 perl-5.8.5 pkgconfig-0.15.0_1 png-1.2.8_1 shared-mime-info-0.15_7 tiff-3.7.1_2 xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.1 xorg-fonts-truetype-6.8.1xorg-libraries-6.8.1_1 zip-2.3_2 to build.

1. install portaudit.
2. portupgrade portdir/portname (e.g. portupgrade

3. if portupgrade portdir/portname doesnt do, use
the -f flag.
4. install freebsd-update from the security ports

What I have is this: A single FreeBSD web server with a single NIC in it Two T1 routers, each with a different subnet. My FreeBSD box has two IP addresses assigned to it, one from the first subnet and one from the second subnet. I want to use round-robin DNS to direct half my web traffic to the first IP and half to the second IP. As I said to John in a private e-mail earlier this morning, I have a Windows 2000 box that is doing exactly this with these two subnets right now. I know it can be done. I have a feeling that the FreeBSD TCP stack lacks the capability. By the way, this also works with Cisco hardware. I have used Cisco equipment in this same configuration in the past. I think they way it SHOULD work is that you should be able to give a FreeBSD box multiple default gateways. When FreeBSD gets a packet to an IP on the first subnet, it should use the default gateway that is also on that subnet. When FreeBSD gets a packet to an IP on the second subnet, it should use the second default gateway. This seems to be the logic that Windows (and Cisco) uses.

If you have multiple interfaces and you configure a default gateway for each interface, the default metric determination that is based on the speed of the interface usually uses the fastest interface for default gateway traffic. This is usually desirable in configurations in which the computer is connected to the same network. This behavior can become a problem when the computer exists on two or more disjointed networks (networks that do not provide symmetric reachability on layer3). Symmetric reachability exists when packets can be sent to and received from an arbitrary destination. Because the TCP/IP version4 protocol uses a single default route in FreeBSD's routing table at any one time for default route traffic, default routers configured on multiple interfaces connected to two or more disjointed networks can wreak routing traffic havoc. In FreeBSD, you can manually configure the routing table for the individual interfaces.. but it sounds to me as if you are attempting to use two ethernet interfaces connected to two disjointed networks connected to routers with two seperate subnets in order to balance http requests to one server.. is this the case?

Assuming your working in C what is wrong with:
char command[] = mkdir -p /path/to/whatever;
system( command );
Nothing, except that calling a system command from C when you can roll
your own method in about 18 lines of code is usually not ideal.
Particularly when speed is important. And yes, it is definitely
important - disk access can be an insurmountable bottleneck for high
volume systems if it is neglected at the implemenation stage.
I only wanted a system lib call because I trust FreeBSDs implementation
to be faster than my quick throw together.
I've already written it. It's not pretty, and probably not as fast as a
system lib would be (it has to make 1 system call per directory in the
path, rather than just one system call for the whole path). It is,
however, much faster than a call to system() would be.
Actually, the mkdirp(3GEN) library routine in Solaris probably makes the
same amount of system calls as your implementation:
uname -sr
SunOS 5.9
cat mkdirp.c
#include libgen.h
#include sys/stat.h
#define path /tmp/a/b/c/d
int main(void) {
mkdirp(path,S_IRWXU);
}
gcc -lgen -o mkdirp mkdirp.c
truss ./mkdirp | tail -10

You would have to be morally corrupt to take other peoples life work and not think you should give something back to them, even if it is free and has no strings attached. If, as you imply, there is a moral requirement to give something back to them, then there are strings attached even if the strings are not legally enforcible. Personally I would not have considered Apple morally corrupt even if they had kept all of MacOS X has proprietary and binary-only, any more than I consider Sun morally corrupt just because they took BSD-code and changed it into SunOS (or BSDi for doing the same with BSD/OS.) Also keep in mind that open source and freely distributable are *not* the same thing. BSD-licensed code that is part of another project is always freely distributable, but might not have source available. (It can of course be very difficult to determine exactly which code is BSD-licensed and which is not in a binary file.) Umm and about BSD in windows. It is in there, open the binary network (ping, ftp, telnet, finger, etc.) commands in a text editor and you can view the BSD copyright notices. Yes, I know, but the earlier comments concerned the network stack, not the client programs. also SFU (services for unix) version 3.5 was almost an entire rip of OpenBSD, and no thay did not give any kick backs to the community. The BSD license says that they are allowed do that. *If* the people who wrote the BSD code thinks that Microsoft (et al) should not have taken BSD-licensed code and incorporated it into proprietary products then they should have used another license for the code (like the GPL which is designed to prevent exactly such behaviour.) Microsoft has done many things that are morally and/or legally dubious (if not outright wrong.) The use of BSD-licensed code is not one of them. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

It took about 28 hours for me, but it spent many hours waiting for me to come back and answer a question of some kind. On my Athlon 2400 with 1GB it usually takes 7-8 hours, but that's excluding a couple parts, and that's if I'm there to answer the questions or run batch. If I start it as batch right before I go to bed it's usually done by the time I get up. Can't remember offhand, but this time might not include qt, either. Damn, thats a long time! Why does it take this long from ports? When I did it from sysinstall it took about an hour... Well, sysinstall off a CD is just installing a pre-compiled package. When the port is built and installed it's indistingishable from an installed package - what you're doing right now is compiling it locally, which is very cpu-intensive and does take some time for a program of any size, but this can have some advantages. FreeBSD's ports system is designed around this concept. If you want, you can use pkg_add -r (which will fetch remote packages) instead of compiling, or portinstall -P or portupgrade -P (or -PP), but you have to make sure you have the right dependencies. Since packages have to be built by someone after the port is updated, packages usually lag behind what's available in ports, but builds for KDE are available here and are updated regularly: http://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/ Most of the packages on the FreeBSD site itself are for RELEASEs, so that the packages on an install CD will work with the OS. Once you update the source to a higher patchlevel and rebuild your world and kernel so your RELEASE has all the security updates, you might have to rebuild those packages, too, but you might not - it depends on what was changed. Another solution is to build locally, but do make package, which will create a package in addition to the installation, so you can use it to install elsewhere - this is useful for networks where one machine can act as the build machine for many computers. As long as the build options are consistent with the hardware (not using cpu optimization is more portable, but cpu optimization can help in some circumstances), and the dependencies are consistent, you can install that elsewhere or again on your own machine. You can also use one machine as the build machine and do make install through NFS, with /usr/ports mounted from the build machine, or you can make a network package repository.

Is portupgrade contains the security patches also? I'm not sure what that means. Portupgrade simply updates a port, it takes all patches provided by port manager, applies them, compile, etc. (in case of building from source).

Trouble reading the nightly security run output report
OK, so every night the default install of FreeBSD generates a security run output report for IPF denied packets. Here is a sample report; 221143 @2 block out log quick on dc0 from any to any head 15 92733 @2 block in log quick on dc0 from any to any head 10 20 @8 block in log quick on dc0 from 10.0.0.0/8 to any group 10 That's it. I am looking at this and trying to figure out if it is useful and just what are those numbers for? I have IPF creating a log entry for all of the dropped packets, but when I look at the logs I can't match those numbers at all. In fact, if I do a 'wc -l' on the log file I get a count of 10,780 lines. If I take into account the log entries that have a consecutive count logged I come up with 11,422. Not even close the numbers listed above. So just what does this report mean and is there a better tool to run that would give me a nightly report of total drops and perhaps the top ten offenders and why?

Assuming your working in C what is wrong with:
char command[]= mkdir -p /path/to/whatever;
system( command );
Nothing, except that calling a system command from C when you can roll
your own method in about 18 lines of code is usually not ideal.
Particularly when speed is important. And yes, it is definitely
important - disk access can be an insurmountable bottleneck for high
volume systems if it is neglected at the implemenation stage.
I only wanted a system lib call because I trust FreeBSDs implementation
to be faster than my quick throw together.
I've already written it. It's not pretty, and probably not as fast as a
system lib would be (it has to make 1 system call per directory in the
path, rather than just one system call for the whole path). It is,
however, much faster than a call to system() would be.
Actually, the mkdirp(3GEN) library routine in Solaris probably makes the
same amount of system calls as your implementation:
uname -sr
SunOS 5.9
cat mkdirp.c
#include libgen.h
#include sys/stat.h
#define path /tmp/a/b/c/d
int main(void) {
mkdirp(path,S_IRWXU);
}
gcc -lgen -o mkdirp mkdirp.c
truss ./mkdirp | tail -10
mkdir(/tmp/a/b/c/d, 0700) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp/a/b/c, 0) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp/a/b, 0) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp/a, 0) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp, 0) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a, 0700) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a/b, 0700) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a/b/c, 0700) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a/b/c/d, 0700) = 0
_exit(-13163152)
I shoulda thought of that.
This gives me another idea to consider for my implementation too.

It will provide you with user, command and PID info for each connected socket. --Tim Gene ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IPF, IPFW, or IPFILTER?
The author of the FreeBSD handboodk prefers IPF (ipfilter) because its stateful rules are much less complicated The author of The Complete BSD talks about IPFW (ipfirewall) only. People on this list talk of PF (packetfilter) quite a bit. What is the most commonly used firewall for a web/email host server with a static IP address connected directly to the Internet? (protecting itself) What is the most commonly used firewall for a gateway/router/ network firewall server in front of several other boxes? (protecting others and itself) Thanks, Andy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
