Hello All ! I'm using FreeBSD 5.4. Today i have received daily output from my home computer. That's it: Disk status: Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a253678 36946 19643816%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/ad0s1d 9206302 -17592178674642 1759218710 -207704820%/usr Immidiatly, i have connected to it and see the same numbers in df output. Yesterday output is OK. Yesterday the computer rebooted spontaneously, and processed with background fsck. Does anybody have the same expirience? Best regards, Alexander. At least one bug with similar symptoms was fixed in later branches of FreeBSD. Can you check whether this still happens on 6.0?

multi port modem cards for FreeBSD
Hi, I will install a fax server using hylafax on FreeBSD. This fax server must handle at least 8 fax-modem attached to it. For this I think I need a serial port multiplier or PCI based fax-modem cards which has at least 8 ports fax-modem chip. For FreeBSD 6.0 which hardware do I have to use for not having any driver specific problems. Can you recommend me one that works with hylafax and FreeBSD?

Re[2]: freebsd 6 - amount of total visible memory is decreasing constantly
Problem: Total amount of visible memory is decreasing constantly [ ... ] As you can see, memory which was visible using top utility decreased from 3224 to 3195 Megabytes in less than 2 hours. And this process will continue to the point, where swapping begins. Server during this monitoring was running MySql4 + Apache1.3 under heavy load. Pay attention to sysctl kern.malloc or sysctl vm.zone periodicly, and see whether some part of the kernel is leaking memory. All seems to be OK with 'sysctl kern.malloc' and 'sysctl vm.zone': there are no any suspiciously high values. All of kern.malloc values in MemUse field are =1024K. Only two: SWAP=2189K and devbuf=8003K are above 1024K limit(but this seems to be ok too) What is the source of information which is used by 'top' utility for displaying memory statistics? May be, if I look into this source, I would probably get more clear picture of what is going on?

Such programmes are in effect adding to the spam problem. Nearly all spam has a forged from address and all programmes such as TMDA do is send a challenge to an innocent 3rd party. Whist it looks like it reduces your spam all you do is in effect spam someone else. When your e-mail address has been used in a spam run by a spammer and you start getting 10s of these challenge an hour it is quite easy to report 1 my accident. If you look at the Spamcop reporting page you will see a warning about just this situation. I suppose that the real answer is to stop compounding the spam problem and use a combination of spamassassin and block lists. BTW I make it a point never to respond to challenges. Ditto, and for the same reasons. I've removed David from the cc list on this for that reason as well. Also we need to be aware of another trick that spammers have figured out, that applies to anyone running multiple MX records on a domain (I don't know if David is in that situation) Normally if a domain has a single mailserver processing incoming mail, there's a single MX record pointing to a single machine. But in many cases it's desirable to relay mail through a prefilter system before it gets to the actual mailserver. In those cases a common trick is to block the highest priority MX host off with an access list. Senders try the highest priority, it fails, they then go to the next highest priority host which is the relay host. That host gets it, does it's thing, then tries to send it to the highest priority server which should work since the access list permits that server. This technique has been mentioned in the sendmail book among others. Yes, but that is actually massively rude. The hosts listed in a domain's MX record are supposed to be hosts willing to exchange mail for that domain, so listing ones that are not it just wasting everyone's time and resources. If you want to have such a prefilter system, there is no need to list the end system in the MX records; just use an internal route to do that.

I very much disagree, but this is another flamewar, I guess. Danial is right that there are many large programs out there that are written in C, not C++. This means that just learning C++ and hoping to cope with it when an 11,000,000-line monster, written in plain C, comes along is just not going to cut it.

Jeez, you make it sound like the difference between C and C++ is like the difference between learning English or learning Russian. I find it difficult, if not impossible. to believe that someone who knew C++ would be in any way shape or form be forced to cope with any gazillion line C program.

dns lookups lagging server
Hello, I've been running FreeBSD 5.3 on an Intel Celeron server at home for about a year flawlessly. The server is behind a linksys router on a Speakeasy DSL connection. The server is used for internal network backups and do a small amount of web/email hosting. Just yesterday afternoon however, when I tried to ssh into the box from the private side of the network, the connection timed out. Several times. Out of curiosity I tried to ftp to the box and that connection timed out as well. Apache was running and the box still served webpages, but it was extremely slow - on the order of minutes to process and return even simple static pages. The only thing that wasn't laggy and seemd to work okay was email and samba. I hooked up a monitor and keyboard to the server and was able to log in. top, ps and lsof commands didn't show anything out of the ordinary with the box and it seemed quiet normal. I tried to establish an ssh session, which worked after a long delay. So all the internet services setup on the box were running, just very slow, to the point where connections would timeout. Eventually, I turned off dns lookup in sshd_config. When I tried a ssh session after doing that, it worked right away. I turned off dns lookup related commands in apache and proftpd and those services responded normally again (no significant lag or connection timeout errors). So from the actions I took, it seems like there is a problem with the various services trying to do dns look ups on users who try to connect to the box somehow. Since the problem started with no apparent involvement on my part (I had neither installed or uninstalled any applications, etc.), should I assume there is a dns server problem with my ISP? The desktops here at home don't have a problem with dns themselves - it just seems to be the FreeBSD server. What else should I be doing to diagnose the problem?

Userland PPP MSS miscalculation?
I think that I've stumbled upon a miscalculation that userland-PPP makes when mssfixup is enabled and I wanted to run it by a larger audience before I submitted a problem report. By default, FreeBSD calculates the TCP MSS value of a new TCP connection by taking the MTU of the egress interface and subtracting 40 -- 20 for ip headers, and 20 for tcp headers. Thus, A TCP SYN packet exiting an interface with an MTU of 1500 will have an MSS of 1460. Well behaved TCP implementations seem to know that MSS is a value that does NOT include any TCP options; the number of bytes that TCP options consume are effectively subtracted from the agreed-upon MSS value. So, for a full packet (1500mtu/1460mss) with 12 bytes of TCP options, the maximum data payload size is 1448. 1448 (payload) + 12 (TCP options) + 20 (TCP headers) + 20 (IP headers) = 1500. In userland-PPP, the MSS value of an outgoing TCP SYN packet is calculated as such: tcpmss.c: line 73: [tcpmss.c,v 1.7.2.1] #define MAXMSS(mtu) ((mtu) - sizeof(struct ip) - sizeof(struct tcphdr) - 12) A change was made on 6/29/2004 to tcpmss.c to subtract 12 from the MAXMSS calculation (See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/ppp/tcpmss.c.diff?r1=1.6r2=1.7f=h. According to the PR report that caused the change (bin/32717), this was done to pad additional space for TCP options that might be present. The author, Koji Mori, presents a test case that involves connecting to www.netbsd.org, but I suspect that the bug was actually in NetBSD's MSS calculation, although I've not done any research to see if this is the case. By removing the -12 from the MAXMSS calculation and recompiling ppp, outgoing SYN packets on my PPPoE-connected system now have an MSS value of 1452, which works perfectly well. With the -12 included, the MSS is calculated as 1440. This works perfectly well of course, but it wastes 12 extra bytes that could be included in a packet's payload. Am I missing something here, or is my evaluation correct? If it is correct, I'll go ahead and submit a PR to revert the -12 change.

Re: Which is the best open source C/C++ IDE out there?
This is obviously a trick question, because real programmers don't use IDEs. Case Closed. I'm not a real programmer, but UNIX is a great developer environment. It's a tool based environment. Small tools, strong cohesion in what they are designed for, easy ways to combine them to form more complex tasks. Good documentation too. Actually you don't need anything else, you don't need a colourfull IDE. But... Maybe only few, really exceptional people can benefit and grok the power of this kind of environments. To me the ideal IDE is actually a toolkit: - Source Editor, preferably with a object browser or other kind of a source browser. An autocomplete functionallity could increase productivity too - this could increase quality if we measure quality of code by the low number of syntax mistakes, but this could also be a threat to quality letting the programmer write without reading carefully what is written - code bloating. - Compiler with a debugger. We must discuss about the pros. and cons. of a grafic debugger versus a text-mode debugger. The things are getting really messy when it comes up to debugging multithreading code and I really don't know what is the ultimate tool for this task. - A build tool. Ant or make will suffice. - Source control tools. CVS, SVN etc. - Documentation tools. POD, Doxygen, Javadoc or something else. - Unit testing framework. This is not always a tool. This could be a language extension, or a testing API. - Other tools. You don't need to put everything together in a single swissknife-tool, but this could be convenient in some cases.

portmanager core dumps

You might find that mentioning the specific model you have would produce

would produce responses more oriented towards people rackrounting and using

Re: adding virtual webmail users, freebsd6
Yes, it is doable with postfix and it's not too complicated. You'll basically need a database for the backend (mysql, postgresql) and a few config changes to postfix.

Setting up a FreeBSD gateway (more detail) and IPFW
Thanks to those who replied to my previous call for help. Now I think it's time I actually provide some relevant detail. I've got two computers - one is my workstation, one is my server / gateway-to-be. My outside connection is via a hub to a cable modem; currently I have my workstation rigged directly to it with no problems. I'll go over what I've done so far, and hope that if I've made a glaring error someone will be able to point it out. - I have two NICs: ed0 and rl0. ed0 will be connected to my workstation, rl0 to the hub and thence the Internet. - I've configured a custom kernel per the directions in the handbook on NAT - that is, IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT are in there. - I have the various options set in rc.conf, with natd_interface=rl0. - To set up the NICs, I have ifconfig_ed0=192.168.0.1 and ifconfig_rl0=DHCP. I'll set my workstation to use 192.168.0.2 if I can figure out why it's locking my NIC / IP settings(that's a WinXP issue). - In my named.conf, under forwarders, I set one of my ISP's DNS servers. (Is it possible, and if so, beneficial, to put more than one entry there? My ISP gives me four.) I'm only running a caching DNS, so I otherwise left named.conf alone. - I've run the make-localhost script in /etc/namedb. - I've put named_enable=YES in rc.conf as well. Ideally, I'd like to be able to leave my workstation's network settings alone, and set up DHCP; however, a look over the ports suggests that's far more trouble than it's worth for a single client that doesn't really need such flexibility. I don't have any servers running on my workstation, so I've no need to allow traffic from the 'net to get through the firewall to the LAN(servers on the gateway itself are another matter). However, the firewall is still my biggest challenge. To get set up and running, since I don't currently know the ports for every single thing I might use(and some things I telnet to are on nonstandard ports anyway) I'm probably going to use the example ruleset #2 for IPFW with NAT, except that until such time as I know a little more detail about what I need to block, I'll be assuming that anything from the workstation is good traffic. That rule, however, is causing me some concern, and I'd like to confirm that it has a good chance of working before I go to the smoke test. Thus, inserting at the appropriate point into the last example given on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html the best I can cobble together is: $cmd allow all from 192.168.0.2 to any out via $pif setup keep-state Will this allow my workstation unhindered access to the Internet without opening it to every single inbound port? I'm a little confused here. I don't think I need anything but Apache (i.e. port 80 TCP) and SSL (22 TCP) inbound; the MySQL server is strictly internal, so the stock ruleset otherwise seems pretty good to me. I can open up secure HTTP if I get that working, based on the rules already there. Please send replies directly to me.

speccing an NFS server -- smp good or bad?
For a FBSD (or Solaris 10) based server that is only acting as an NFS server and nothing else, is there any advantage to using an SMP machine? Any disadvantage? Does CPU speed play any great factor (ie, use a 1.8ghz opteron instead of a 2.2ghz opteron for example)? I am planning for a Spring project to make an nfs server that serves to multiple web servers / application servers using an Areca 1130 SATA raid card.
