Just change where the root alias in /etc/mail/aliases points to.

for example:

root:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

don't forget to run newaliases after you make the change.

(this all assumes you're using sendmail)

Balsa 2.3.2 Crash with attachments

2005-05-23 Thread Glenn Todd

I am running Balsa 2.3.2 with Gnome 2.10 on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p15

If I try to attached a file to an email Balsa crashes.  The only  
information is what I have seen in Bug Buddy


Thread 6 (LWP 100195):
#0  0x28afeef7 in pthread_testcancel () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1

Is this a problem with Balsa, libpthread, gnome 2.10 or something with  
my installation.  I upgraded to 2.10 using the upgrade scripts and  
updated the rest of my ports using portsupgrade as recently as last  
Friday.

I had Balsa crashing also. Not only when I tried to attach a file but also 
when opening the address book. I didn't get any error messages though, so I 
have no idea what the problem is.

If you have a file named /etc/host.conf (as previously used before 5.X),
a corresponding file /etc/nsswitch.conf may be created automatically from
the firts one.  This can explain why you didn't create it.

DigiBoard PC/4e on 5.4

2005-05-23 Thread Walter C. Pelissero
I have a DigiBoard PC/4e that used to work without a problem on
FreeBSD 4.9 (maybe even 4.10).  On 5.4 when I kldload the digi module
I get an error:

dgb0: FEP/OS start failed (0x00 != 0x534f)

The device.hints contains:

hint.digi.0.at=isa
hint.digi.0.port=0x320
hint.digi.0.maddr=0xd8000

Which I'm pretty sure are the same values I've been using under
FreeBSD 4.x.

Any idea of what I might be doing wrong?

2005-05-23 Thread .VWV.

Hello.

Chris was right. I have forgotten to upgrade the X server. Both XFree86
and Xorg have the drivers for a lot of radeon gpus now.

Wingsdowz makes me exhausted. It seems I must keep it, in order to run
commercial applications for audio purposes, because it seems easier to
make them run with Wine, on already existing Wingsdowz installations.
The main limit on unix is the availability of drivers for rare hardware.
As example, I have a couple of high-end Aardwark audio adapters, not
only unsupported by OSS, but also unsupported at all, because of the
disappearing of the manufacturer from the market. I could move to
M-Audio though, but I had to trash state-of the-art designed hardware.

I don't need reply, otherwise CC me. I just remark my appreciation for
your time spent giving support.

As always

VITTORI

this to 30 users and also guarantee 32 kbps to every user so if
one of them is doing intense FTP the others to easely browse the
net what should I use for that? I am looking for a solution like
(and better then) HBT on Linux.

I've googled for a while but there are not so many resources on that.

How to update to latest packages with pkg_add and keep system source stable

2005-05-23 Thread Tim
Hello
 
I am a new FreeBSD user. I have installed the latest production release 5.4. 
 
 
Two questions I have are:
 
1. How do I update to the newest binary packages without using ports? I have a 
slow computer so compling through ports is not fun. When I now do a pkg_add -r 
firefox I get version 1.0.3 and not 1.0.4 which I've seen exists as a binary 
package via the web inteface. 
 
2. I want a stable system. I understand that upgrading system source to 
FreeBSD-STABLE is in fact not stable at all. So what efficient method exists to 
keep my system secure and stable? 
 
Thanks!

since he is talking about xfree86 and sysinstall -- configure ---

What FreeBSD release you are running, it must be prior to 5.3, you might 
want to upgrade to 5.3 which uses by default Xorg where there isn't 
realy a need to config the X server manually ( unless you got two 
monitors or you just want the best of the best ). Although I have been 
told xfree86 can configure itself to, but how to I'm not sure. I used 
the commandline option to config Xfree ( sysinstall --  configure --- 
xfree86 -- xfconf , it was I believe ).

Re: 20 snapshot limit per filesystem?

2005-05-23 Thread Lowell Gilbert
Rich Winkel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Hi, I was just wondering how much overhead would be incurred by increasing
 the 20 snapshot limit on mksnap_ffs ?

Unfortunately, I don't see a way to give a short answer to that
question.  On a fairly static filesystem, the answer would be quite
small.  On a more active filesystem, the number (and size) of
different files being modified is more relevant.

I tried to do some calculations on my own system, but I kept finding
factors that I had overlooked.  In practice, it was easier to make my
snapshots and see how much disk space and CPU time were used over time.

 I use hard links to get snapshot-like functionality under 4.x.  I can
 recover accidentally deleted files for up to 30 days.  I was hoping
 I could switch to snapshots without crimping this strategy...

You could always try it and see what happens.  Or you could change
your strategy slightly.  I keep weekly snapshots for a few weeks, but
daily snapshots only stick around for a week.  If you did something
like that, you could also keep hourly snapshots for the last few
hours.  For most users, this kind of approach would be much more
likely to have an accidentally deleted file in a snapshot.

 By the way, how do snapshots interface with user disk quotas?  I assume
 files which exist only in a snapshot aren't counted by the quota system.

Right.

Searching for terms such as 'freebsd fsck incorrect free space' and
'freebsd reporting incorrect free space' were obviously not the right
things to be searching for in order to bring up the FAQ page in the
results.

I did not consult it directly.  I reiterate; perhaps the operating system
could have been more helpful (by way of fsck being able to detect this
problem or by having more details of the problem logged to
/var/log/messages) because it was not obvious in the first instance that
the FreeBSD FAQ was to be my first port of call.

Next time you see me post any request to this list, you can be assured I
will have checked the FAQ most thoroughly.

upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4

2005-05-23 Thread Duane Winner

Hi all,

I just noticed that 5.4 is now the production release.

I'm downloading the ISO image now, but I was wondering if anybody has 
done a source upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4 yet.


I was going to try to just change my tag from RELENG_5_3 to RELENG_5_4 
on one of my boxes, upgrade from source and see what happens.


Has anybody done this yet? Any gotcha's, or is it a fairly smooth upgrade?

Thanks
DW

VM pager read error

2005-05-23 Thread Christopher Black
Hello List,

I have a distributed network of systems running FreeBSD 4.10-Release,
and periodically, I see the following errors on the console:

vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)

These will be repeated, filling the screen quickly, and the box is
unable to do anything at all.  These are mission-critical boxes, and I
catch a lot of flak for any downtime.  Are there any ideas what might be
causing this?  There's plenty of unused memory (128mb total), and swap
is always 100% free.  The boxes are running snort_inline, squid, and
ipfw with dynamic rules.  The errors tend to occur when there's no load
at all on the boxes, such as when everyone has gone home for the night.

Thanks!
Chris

   Hi!

Yes, I've done that a week ago, and everything went well. You only have to
be careful with your compile options (in /etc/make.conf) if you have increased
the optimization level for compiling ports (don't use more than -O).

Just follow the handbook instructions (new procedure) and you're on your
way. In case something fails and if you're not familiar with the booting
process, read the section about how to boot your old kernel if the new one
doesn't work.

 You can ping a host and test whether it was successful from a shell
 script, without needing to use expect.  Hope this is useful, as it
 doesn't quite answer your question.  Note the -c 1 to tell ping to try
 just once.
 
 ping -c 1 chaucer

Re: nfs: fstab or automount

2005-05-23 Thread Tony Shadwick
Are they all going to be running FreeBSD, or do you have a mix of 'nix's 
running?


The automounter for osx for example is incompatible with FreeBSD's 
automounter.  I can't speak for Linux, but the possibility exists.


If you don't have a redundancy environment set up for /home to automount 
from point a, and if it fails, try from point b, then just use fstab.


That, and use a hostname rather than an IP address in fstab.  That way, if 
box a goes down, you can change an entry in DNS and now box b can server 
nfs.

Re: securing SSH, FBSD systems

2005-05-23 Thread Tony Shadwick
Is there an effective way to manage that list?  I mean, it seems to me 
that you'd be adding mass routes to /etc/rc.conf.  How are you going about 
this.


Otherwise, it sounds like very good advice.  Of course, I tend to manage a 
hardware firewall in front of any of my machines, so the blackholing 
should really occur there.  I wonder if that technique works under Linux 
as well?  I have the WRT54G running DD-WRT in front of several so-ho 
boxes.  That would be a very efficient method as opposed to ipchains.  Not 
to mention easier to manage reading my firewall rules. ;)

6. Don't use passwords at all, but use keys. Not always possible though, but 
possibly one of the better methods.


I personally use a combo
1- Use an AllowUsers clause
2- Every time I see script kiddies I black hole their IPs.

I black hole them not only because of ssh, but because, just as they tried to 
attack ssh the same IPs may try other attacks. I try and stay up to date in 
patches, but it can not hurt to block known compromised/hacker machines. The 
IPs can be listed either in the firewall or using

route add -host hacker ip 127.0.0.1 -blackhole

I was told that this method of blackholing was more efficient when using a 
long list of IPs becaues IPFW looks at a linear list while the route list was 
some sort of tree which is more efficient to search.


Over time.. my list of blackholed IPs is 300+ and growing. Every week I add 
anywhere from 2 to 10 new IPs. :-(


Besides ssh I also look for machines trying to attack the web server.. ie a 
machine looking for files in c:\winnt or any other window directory is a sure 
sign of a compromised wmachine ith a virus/worm trying to infect more 
machines.

Re: nfs check

When it goes stale, what is your output from df?

If it's accurate (ie, missing, or somehow displays that the mount has 
otherwise gone stale), then a quick shell script grepping for that info in 
a conditional loop should do the trick.


Been a while since I've had any issues with NFS though.

It recommends refuse files for the doc tree, which is *very* useful,
because most users only want one language.  On the ports tree, it
mentions that some people do it, but doesn't recommend it as a general
policy.  It will work a lot of the time, and the ports makefiles warn
about having a complete ports collection before reporting certain

An automounter can let you mount each individual user's home directory
only as needed (and dismount it when it's not being used.).  If you're
going to mount the whole tree, with the home directories for *all* of

TCP/IP inside of one jail is hosed but other jails (same jail install) work fine

2005-05-23 Thread Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC

Hi

I am on 5.3-RELEASE with some of the patches (uname = FreeBSD  
xx.org 5.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #5: Sun Apr 24  
22:14:42 MDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ 
XXX-SMP  i386)


I have a single install of FreeBSD that is used for jails and all the  
jails share the basic install through read only partitions mounted  
from this root install.  (Obviously not the same install as the  
running host).


The problem jail has no TCP connectivity except that apache2 works.   
Ie, the website is working that runs inside this jail.  sshd is  
running but you cannot connect to it with ssh with the error in the logs


May 23 09:37:57 xx sshd[96372]: fatal: Timeout before  
authentication for 6x.1xx.4x.58


If I am inside the jail and do, for example, nslookup, I get

# nslookup
 www.sun.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached



If I try to ssh out it never finishes.  I can ssh out of other jails.

If I try to ping out of another jail, I get ping: socket: Operation  
not permitted.  If I try to ping out of this jail I get nothing --  
no error.  It just hangs and does not return to the shell.


/etc/resolv.conf in the jail is correct.

This jail was working and without any changes being made, stopped  
working.  I have audited /etc and found no changed files.


I stopped and restarted the jail.  Did not fix it.

WHat is strange is that apache2 is still responding, and even on  
rebooting the jail still works.


If I do a netstat -a in another jail on the same host it comes back  
right away.  If I do a netstat on this jail, it takes forever but  
after a few minutes does finish.


One strange thing is that a netstat -a in the problem jail showed (it  
no longer shows after I explicitly put a TCP4 ListenAddress in the  
sshd conf in the problem jail and restarted the jail -- problem still  
persists)


tcp4   0  0  166.70.252.195.ssh *.* 
LISTEN
tcp6   0  0  *.ssh  *.* 
LISTEN


a tcp6 port open

the same netstat -a in another jail does not show the tcp6 port open.

the host does have options INET6   # IPv6  
communications protocols in the kernel but both the host and the  
jail have 'ipv6_enable=NO ' in their /etc/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/ 
rc.conf respectively.


All the jails have the default freebsd sshd conf (except as noted  
above).



Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Chad

The Realtek 8139 cards are a pretty cheap chipset that many others

It is probably some BIOS setting in your motherboard. You might try
setting

 Subject: Problem with Realtek 8139C and 8139D NIC in 5.4


 Hiya Guys

 I've recently started playing with FreeBSD.  I use it at
 home on a pc
 for our ADSL connection, just for that added security.
 Worked fine with 5.2, except that my WiFi connection was a
 little buggy,
 so I decided to upgrade to 5.4

 After installing 5.4, my  ed(4) card stopped working.  It's
 quite an old
 card, so I decided to upgrade it as well.
 Got myself a new RTL8139D card, and installed it only to keep getting
 the error that it couldn't map ports/memory.  The system has 2 other
 NICs in in as well,
 A RTL8139A, and a Gigabyte Super 108 NIC using the ath(4) driver.
 Uninstalled the other Realtek Card, same problem.  Uninstalled
 the WiFi,
 same problem,
 Uninstall ALL other NICs in the system and only leave in the 8139D,
 problem still persists.

 Over to plan B, get another NIC from another unused PC.  This
 time it's
 an 8139C.  Same problem still. I'm really out of options.
 Any way to resolve this issue?

 I'm kinda desperate to get my system up and running again.

 System Specs:
 AMD Duron 700

Re: nfs: fstab or automount/thread hijack

2005-05-23 Thread Tony Shadwick
Hmm...hadn't really thought about the config you're suggesting of just 
mounting user's homes as needed.  Quite the thought. :)


I've always just mounted /home as a whole.  Now you're going to have my 
mind running.


I'm going to hijack this thread just a bit.  Is anyone here other htan me 
having to deal with multiplatform issues with home directories?


Example:  I use Firefox on all of my machines as the default web browser. 
When mounting /home, one would think this would be a snap.  It's not 
though.


I believe Linux and FreeBSD place Firefox's prefs in ~/.mozilla/firefox. 
When it mounts on MacOS X, OS X goes looking for them in 
~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox.  I tried to get smart about it and 
simply create a simlink, but it seems like the very structure of that 
directory gets messed up.  I've tried doing something similar for 
Thunderbird as well, but I wanted to go one step at a time.


If I get this working, then we'll work on my remotely mounted home on 
windows and my stored prefs. ;)


The idea is to eventually have a relatively platform-inspecific home 
directory.  Been working on it for ages.  Anyway, just a thought.

An automounter can let you mount each individual user's home directory
only as needed (and dismount it when it's not being used.).  If you're
going to mount the whole tree, with the home directories for *all* of
the users, then you might as well do it once at the start and be done
with it.

Hi

I don't know about your board but a quick search on google brought that link

If I were you I would definitely try 5.4. As far as I know alot of things were

A more elaborate description of your problem might also yield better results

Freebsd pxeboot problem

2005-05-23 Thread Sunil Sunder Raj

Hi,
Was trying to install freebsd 5.3 via pxeboot. The Dhcp server leases the Ip 
address, the tftp server is located fine and the pxeboot file gets 
downloaded at the client end. But this pxeboot is not getting the proper 
server path and gateway ip.


It is always falling to the default /pxeroot server path (as programmed in 
the pxe.c file) and don't know where it gets the gateway ip as 192.168.102.1


Display I get

pxe_open: server addr: This is proper. The Dhcp/Tftp server ip
pxe_open: server path: /pxeroot --- default server path. 
This is not what I defined in my dhcpd.conf
pxe_open: gateway ip: 192.168.102.1 --- Don't know where it got 
it from. This is not what I defined in my dhcpd.conf

\
Can't load 'kernel'

Below is what I read in the pxe.c file
===
   /*
* Do a bootp/dhcp request to find out where our
* NFS/TFTP server is.  Even if we dont get back
* the proper information, fall back to the server
* which brought us to life and a default rootpath.
*/

   if (!rootpath[1])
   strcpy(rootpath, PXENFSROOTPATH);

Has anyone faced this problem.

I am no expert on jails, but the symptoms you describe suggest to me
that TCP/IP is fine except that for processes inside the one jail, 
*DNS lookups* are broken. The local sshd wants to DNS lookup your 
SSH client IP and can't, but apache runs fine because it (probably) 
is not logging client host names, just IP nums.


Check that jail's /etc/resolv.conf and/or its internal DNS server if
it has one, or else the external DNS server(s) that it's configured 
to query, as well as any DNS-related firewall rules that may be in play.

 I'll have to remember that one.  So if /home is a filesystem unto

Only *directly* underneath it.  Obviously you wouldn't want to do that

Back up those HD right now before you lose all the data and then

There is nothing you can do with them in FreeBSD.
Check the HD mfg web site for daig program which runs under ms/dos.
But in most cases this daig program will just confirm HD has bad

product warrantee, if HD is less than 3 years old mfg will swap your

No new packages are ever produced for -release versions of FreeBSD.
However, you can use the packages-stable packages, which will almost
always work on the most recent release.  See the pkg_add manpage and
ftp site for the relevant environment variables and location.

 2. I want a stable system. I understand that upgrading system source
 to FreeBSD-STABLE is in fact not stable at all. So what efficient
 method exists to keep my system secure and stable?

Track the release branch.  See the handbook for detailed information.

I am working on my 5.3 RELEASE system, and I notice my network monitor
on gkrellm is showing unexplained loads (15/23Kbps sustained) in
traffic on the external interface.

I'm not too concerned that this is a security breach, but I do notice
at least one ESTABLISHED connection that I can't explain (it goes back
to AOL, which naturally sows a little mistrust).

Anyway, how to I find the actual process (server or otherwise) on my
end that is handling a given connection, and what kind of load it is
handling?

Some HTTP clients only receive first 4k

2005-05-23 Thread Scott Stevenson

This is a follow-up to a post back in February.
http://www.monkey.org/freebsd/archive/freebsd-questions/200502/ 
msg03071.html



Summary: Certain HTTP clients only receive partial file contents. The  
majority of visitors have no problems, but those that do seem to  
experience it 100% of the time.


After looking into this further, I've discovered some interesting  
data points:



1. Affected clients consistently receive only the first 4096 bytes  
of .html and .css files. After that, they encounter a single garbage  
character (looks like a memory stomp), and then nothing.


2. At least two of the sites hosted on the machine are affected.

3. The issue can be reproduced via the W3 validator:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcocoadevcentral.com% 
2Farticles%2F85-test.htmlcharset=%28detect+automatically% 
29doctype=%28detect+automatically%29ss=1


The bottom of this page shows the first 4k that was successfully  
fetched. It stops right in the middle of a tag. The same thing  
happens with this css file:


http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F% 
2Fcocoadevcentral.com%2Fcss% 
2Fcocoadevcentral-20050401.cssusermedium=all



4. At least in the case of the validator, the requests don't show up  
in Apache's access or error logs! This is consistently reproducible.


5. For some reason, clients consistently only get to byte 3883 (or  
perhaps 3884) in .php files, and then get the garbage character.



These same sites were previously running on the same network with the  
same version of apache. I've done hours of googling and also searched  
the freebsd-questions mailing list archives. I've gone out of my way  
to keep the installation as vanilla as possible. The system  
configuration is essentially:


FreeBSD 5.3-Release
Apache 2.0.50
PHP 5.0.2


Thanks,

Re: tracking down network load?

In the last episode (May 23), Louis LeBlanc said:
 I have a strange question.  Well, maybe not so strange.
 
 I am working on my 5.3 RELEASE system, and I notice my network
 monitor on gkrellm is showing unexplained loads (15/23Kbps sustained)

 I'm not too concerned that this is a security breach, but I do notice
 at least one ESTABLISHED connection that I can't explain (it goes
 back to AOL, which naturally sows a little mistrust).
 
 Anyway, how to I find the actual process (server or otherwise) on my
 end that is handling a given connection, and what kind of load it is
 handling?

sockstat or lsof -i will tell you which sockets belong to which
processes, and tcpdump or any of a dozen or so programs in ports will
give you detailed network usage.  Start with trafshow and iftop.

Error installing FreeBSd 5.3 AMD 64 bit-Highpoint 1820A

2005-05-23 Thread Amandeep

Hi all,

I am instalaling FreeBSD 5.3 AMD 64 bit with  6- 200GB drives. Using 
Higpoint 1820A controller and doing RAID 10. I am using drivers for the 
card from Highpoint Web.


The problem is when I make the partitions and the machine tries to 
format the partitions it says:


unable to find device node for /dev/da0s1b under /dev!

and then it comes out.

Any ideas what is going on. Also tried making two slices no luck.

Thanks in advance.

If you set the suid bit, both owner *and* group will be set.




I'll have to remember that one.  So if /home is a filesystem unto

it will inherit the permissions you set above?



Only *directly* underneath it.  Obviously you wouldn't want to do that
for /home, but I find it quite useful on shared project directories
and the like.


If you are talking about inheriting group identity, that is not what I 
am asking for.  I believe this is automagic under fbsd, e.g.


mkdir foo
chgrp somegroup foo
touch foo/foofile
mkdir foo/foodir

foo/foofile and foo/foodir will have gid somegroup (without any suid or 
sgid).


What I am more interested in is inherting group permissions.

For example, I have a directory /var/www/foosite, which allows several 
different users to maintain it.


One way to do it is to use a common account for all the users to 
maintain foosite.


But it is too loose in accountability.

Going full version control (cvs/subversion) is not really desired for me 
because it's not a mission critical thing.


What I would like to do is create a group (say foogroup), assign all 
maintainers to the group, chgrp foogroup /var/www/foosite, and chmod g+w 
/var/www/foosite.


Here is the fun part.

User umask is 022 (which I would like to maintain).

touch foosite/foofile
mkdir foosite/foodir

would render those new file/dir NOT group writable.

umask 002 would make them group writable BUT it is a global setting 
and would affect other parts of the file system as well (e.g. user's home).


Plus not all users are savvy enough to do umask 002 / umask 022 whenever 
necessary.


I am looking for an elegant solution which I doubt I will find.

After some thoughs, this is my compromized solution.

The users will maintain foosite via ftp (within a VPN), and I use vsftpd 
and set the ftp umask to 002.

Re: tracking down network load?

Heh :)  Duh.  The AOL connection in question was gaims connection back
to the AIM server.  Silly me.  I still don't know which of the
established connections was responsible for the sustained load though.

My system also suddenly went offline, and couldn't seem to hold its
connection afterward.  After kicking the ppp daemon a couple times, I
just rebooted the system.  The only log I can find that might have
been relevant is this one:

May 23 15:38:47 keyslapper ppp[47819]: Warning: ff02:5::/32: Change
route failed: errno: Network is unreachable

This sounds like some kind of upstream change in network routing, but
I don't know anything else about it.  Could such a change have caused
the network to do double time trying to get routes?

Re: distfiles

Not to mention a greivous misuse of throughput of the servers on the other 
side.  Ick. :(


Might I suggest that this isn't the wisest route to go and manage ports 
from sources rather than binaries?  Build it on one machine, make sure it 
works, then 'make package' and install that binary on the rest of your 
systems, or at least only grab the packages you need?  Grabbing the full 
collection of distfiles from an ftp server, for lack of a better term, is 
rude. :P


Now if someone had set up a bittorrent of it, then I wouldn't take 
exception, but that really doesn't seem like the best use of resources.

If you consider that easier than using version control, then I can't

run 'atacontrol list' to see which channel number the drive is on. Then
try 'atacontrol mode N', where N is the channel number. This wil give

Re: FreeBSD and Asus A7N8X

2005-05-23 Thread Lee Harr

I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my pc, but both 4.10 and 5.3, after
installation , block at first boot.
I know there is a problem whit my motherboard, ASUS A7N8X deluxe that it
is not supported by FreeBSD.
Can you tell me if 5.4 works on my motherboard? Or a site where I can
download 4.9 that may be the last working relase on my asus.




Try disabling firewire in the bios.

I had the same problem with my system (A7N8X). Worked until 4.9 then
stopped working.

Disabling firewire allowed me to boot.

First off, there should be a message from fetch which says more

 I can fetch manually.

Can you manually fetch the *exact* distfile that the port
is attempting to fetch?

If so, then we need to continue looking at machine config,
etc.

If not, it suggests that a 5.2.1 ports tree is rather out of date
(which is probably is IMHO anyway).  Use pkg_add (or sysinstall)
to install cvsup, then cvsup the ports tree and try again.

Re: Some HTTP clients only receive first 4k

2005-05-23 Thread Mykel

Scott Stevenson wrote:


This is a follow-up to a post back in February.
http://www.monkey.org/freebsd/archive/freebsd-questions/200502/ 
msg03071.html



Summary: Certain HTTP clients only receive partial file contents. The  
majority of visitors have no problems, but those that do seem to  
experience it 100% of the time.


After looking into this further, I've discovered some interesting  
data points:



1. Affected clients consistently receive only the first 4096 bytes  of 
.html and .css files. After that, they encounter a single garbage  
character (looks like a memory stomp), and then nothing.


2. At least two of the sites hosted on the machine are affected.

3. The issue can be reproduced via the W3 validator:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcocoadevcentral.com% 
2Farticles%2F85-test.htmlcharset=%28detect+automatically% 
29doctype=%28detect+automatically%29ss=1


The bottom of this page shows the first 4k that was successfully  
fetched. It stops right in the middle of a tag. The same thing  
happens with this css file:


http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F% 
2Fcocoadevcentral.com%2Fcss% 
2Fcocoadevcentral-20050401.cssusermedium=all



4. At least in the case of the validator, the requests don't show up  
in Apache's access or error logs! This is consistently reproducible.


5. For some reason, clients consistently only get to byte 3883 (or  
perhaps 3884) in .php files, and then get the garbage character.



These same sites were previously running on the same network with the  
same version of apache. I've done hours of googling and also searched  
the freebsd-questions mailing list archives. I've gone out of my way  
to keep the installation as vanilla as possible. The system  
configuration is essentially:


FreeBSD 5.3-Release
Apache 2.0.50
PHP 5.0.2 


Perhaps there's an MTU problem along the way? Can you ping/traceroute 
all the way between endpoints? Some people idiotically block all ICMP, 
when they probably just want to filter ICMP ECHO... (idijjits... ping 
ain't the biggest of your problems)


It comes to packet sizes on the various links.

Then you've looked in the wrong place. :-)

I do not have a static ip on the access point I'm
 connecting to. How do I set the card to use DHCP?

Look at section 23.5 (Automatic Network Configuration). In short:
- make sure that device bpf is in the kernel (it is in GENERIC)
- edit /etc/rc.conf to put the interface in DHCP: 'ifconfig_XXX=DHCP'
  where XXX is the name of your wireless card.

Re: Error installing FreeBSd 5.3 AMD 64 bit-Highpoint 1820A

2005-05-23 Thread Steven Hartland

Sounds like u have followed the install guide with the drivers.
I couldn't get that to work ( without ACPI ) I had to install with
ACPI but this was 5.4-RELEASE but using the 5.3 driver from
highpoints site as there wasn't a 5.4 driver available.
1. Boot from cd
2. got to boot prompt, load the driver from floppy
3. unplug the floppy ( must to this as floppy under amd64 is
broken )
4. boot the kernel and install.

Notes:
1. I was using a RAID 5 array 5 disks * 400Gb.
2. Create the array using 16 k stripe or the performance will be
poor.

Hello,

I think it's a question for the highpoint support. It's their product 
and their driver.


Here are some instant hints:

 - read the PDF carefully and follow the instructions strictly
 - use the BIOS in the tarball; nothing else!!

linux-realplayer-10.0.4/ XFree86-Libs Problems

2005-05-23 Thread Chris Dunne
Hi

This is my first post to this list so appologies if it is lacking in the
right information.

My problem is I want to fix linux-realplayer-10.0.4, when I try to run it
I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libatk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

I have searched for this message and can't find an exact match. However
there seems to be lots of information on the subject so far I have:

Upgrated from linux_base-7 to linux_base-rh-9. (with portupgrade -o
emulators/linux_base-rh-9 /var/db/pkg/linux_base-*)

Ran the following command /usr/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig
/usr/compat/linux/lib /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib usr/compat/linux/var
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib

Installed /usr/ports/graphics/linux-gdk-pixbuf/


One suggestion is to reinstall linux-XFree86-libs however this gives the
following error message.

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libpopt.so.0 not found, required by
rpm2cpio
cpio: premature end of archive

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/linux-XFree86-libs.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/linux-XFree86-libs.

Could anyone either help me with other explinations as to why realplayer
won't run or why linux-XFree86-libs wont install.

My system is currently running
FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p1

I have recently updated my ports tree.

Re: HighPoint RocketRAID 1640 support

I saw on the manufacturer's site that this board is supported under

supported.


The hptmv driver works only with RR182x and i386.


Can anyone confirm a successful instalation of 1640 on
FreeBSD?


I do. You can use the binary drivers from Highpoint's website. Currently 
the RR1640 works fine for me with FreeBSD 5.4 and RAID 5.


Until January 2004, I had some minor problems with FreeBSD's *built-in* 
support for the Highpoint chipsets using SATA hard disk drives. I don't 
know if it works properly now; I guess it does not.

help please

2005-05-23 Thread Paul B.
Hi,
I just installed freebsd (may 23, 2005) and when i start up my pc it goes 
to a text screen (which i know it is s'posed to do) but how do you go to the 
graphics side of freebsd where it looks like (this is a bad example) windows 
and you can click on things?

I am running 
i386
5.4 release
Sincerely,
Paul

dvi to PCL filter

2005-05-23 Thread sealbeam
Hi 

I am a complete newcomer to unix and have just created a dual-boot between 
FreeBSD 5.2.1 and Win2K (each on a separate hard drive). Now I'm trying to get 
my HP 1160 Laserjet to print dvi files. I used the filter shown in the 
handbook. The filter creates a link between /dev/fd/0 and a temporary (?) file 
they call hpdf$$.dvi. When I try to print a dvi file, I get the message, 
Permission denied. Cannot symlink to /dev/fd/0 The permissions on /dev/fd/0 
are: crw-rw-rw-. The filter is supposed to print Cannot symlink to /dev/fd/0 
if the ln operation fails. My message differs in that I also get Permission 
denied.

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?

Thanks

Bob Beckett
