How do you divide your network?? (do you use vlan??)
Hi, How do you divide your network?? Our current setup looks like this. Given all switch are unmanaged. 1 pc router has two interfaces. 1st is the uplink to the internet and the 2nd is connected to our private lan switch. Now this private lan switch is then connected to each switch of every department.. Network A.) / uplink(public) / [pcrouter] \ \ 10.10.x.x [private lan switch] \ / \ \[dept3 switch] / \ 10.10.3 [dept1 switch] [dept2 switch] 10.10.1 10.10.2 Now the problem we have encountered with this setup are: 1. mixed broadcast.The pc router has only one private interface which is aliased to every subnet. (all traffic pass thru it, don't know whats the implication of this) 2. a user on dept1 switch can use ip addresses that belongs to dept2 or dept3 making it hard to track down the source in case there's a flooding going on. 3. When the router died all departments dies. No failover.. 4. Haven't tried this yet, but can I implement DHCP with this kind of setup?? Now trying to revise the network diagram, I came up with network B. This time the same setup as network A but with failover plus the private lan switch is managed, with possible port filtering so that only ip's belonging to a subnet is allowed to connect to that particular port. Network B.) :...carp...: :: [pcrouter1][pcrouter2] \ / \ / \ / \ / [private lan switch] --- managed switch with port filtering / \\ / \ \-[dept3 switch] [dept1 switch] [dept2 switch] Questions in mind: 1. Did it prevent mixed broadcasts?? 2. Again, is it possible to use DHCP since all are still connected to only 1 aliased interface. / Network C.)/ [pcrouter] /| \ / | \ [dept1] [dept2] [dept3] Now in this setup, router will no longer have a single aliased interface. Instead, it will have one interface for every subnet.. Also, I'm assuming that dhcp will be close to possible by now. The same with mixed broadcast... (although i'm just assuming) it will be easy to prevent?? Problems: 1. failover was gone.. When the router dies, every department dies. 2. any other negative implications?? Network D.) [main uplink switch] / | \ / |\ / | \ [pcrouter1] [pcrouter2] [pcrouter3] | | | | | | [dept1switch] [dept2switch] [dept3switch] problems: 1. costly... must maintain a lot of pcrouters (we have more that 3 departments), no more space in our noc. Network E.) Same with network B, but now with VLAN implementation... I don't want to divide the network by physical topology since users frequently transfer to other departments...

6.1-PRERELEASE: pf blocks fetch after restart
Hi: I wrote about this some weeks ago, now I have investigated further, system upgrated to latest (yesterday) snap of RELENG_6 Summary: 1) boot 2a) fetch http://host/file: operation not permitted 2b) fetch ftp://host/file: operation not permitted 3) pfctl -Fr pfctl -Rf pf.conf 4a) fetch http://host/file: successful 4b) fetch ftp://host/file: successful 5) pfctl -Fa pfctl -f pf.conf 6) tcping host_on_lan 22: port open 7a) fetch http://host/file: operation not permitted 7b) fetch ftp://host/file: operation not permitted There is one more thing that is weird, the interface, em0, after successful configuration with dhcp, it reports status no carrier. This happens on boot as well as if I run # /etc/rc.d/netif restart however running the above does not change whether fetch succeeds or not. The problem with netif is not solved if the interface is configured with a static ip, nor is the problem with fetch. I can repeat this, it has occurred on a number of snapshots of the PRERELEASE. Any ideas on how to solve this?

ipfw secure setup for ssh bruteforcers
I have a pretty good setup with ipfw, and theres always dickheads constantly trying to get in - mostly through old microsoft and ssh1/2 exploits with certain usernames and passwords. I pretty much add their ip to a protected ban list (after 5 tries) which bans them from the entire server. From any professionals, what is the most effective technique that i should use to take care of these kiddies other than a complete ban? Is my technique good or is it oversecure? An admin said that doing this can be bad, especially when the kiddy is connected to a large network like a company or university; I may block other people who aren't guilty of the act. (which makes sense) I use the up do date ssh so any exploits are either patched up or will be patched when they're discovered, so holes in the program shouldn't be in issue. any replies would be wonderful, Thanks, Ben -- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. --- Benjamin Franklin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Why are so many people using 4.x?
Hello Vladimir! First off, thank you for your worthy input. You're a very wise man. 30 years of development and continual introduction of new features build on top of existing ones is considered a very good design. And FreeBSD is still extensible and growing, despite of its age. Yes, the fact that it's still ongoing is amazing. If it has managed to keep going for 30 years, it will surely keep on going for another 30 years. What I meant was, the fundamentals for FreeBSD was set 30 years ago. Isn't it time we change that? And FreeBSD is not a skyscraper neigther literally, nor metaphorically - it's more like a spaceship - a very robust one - gives you the means and tools to save your life in deep space when a threat to your life appears and there is noone around. I think you're watching too much scifi. Before even starting talking about design, we should give proper definition for this concept. What is good design? It's pretty well defined at http://www.designcouncil.org.uk How do we measure one design against an alternative one? You ask an experienced designer, preferably an architect. That's the only way, otherwise you'll just be trying to bite your own tail. The widespread notion of good desing is related to the ability to maintain, extent and comprehend easily some complex system. No. Good design is transforming something complex into something easy. FreeBSD is complex. 30 years... You do the math! ? I'm not sure you're ready to present a new and revolutionary design (you should start a new threat on that). It's more like you're in search of volunteers to your FreeBSD Critisism Project. I should be ready in a few weeks. If you're interested I'd be glad to show it to you! Revolutionary design means starting from scratch - this would be a huge, tremendous investment of time and efforts(choose a platform, a language, write a compiler for it, start building a kernel, write completely new device drivers - Microsoft have its Singularity Research Project - an operating system written entirely in C#, but they don't share the tools - the C# compiler and linker they use to build that system, neighter the code - you can get just a couple of PowerPoint presentions, an interview, and a short 50 page long paper, about the features that this system will introduce - on the other hand you can get all of the FreeBSD source code, tones and tones of documentation, and hundreds of ready to help you people - FOR FREE). Revolutionary design, according to Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, one of the most popular science models of our time, characterizes science (where the same applies to design) as going from normal science to science in crisis and from science in crisis to scientific revolution. To me there's a crisis now because I personally believe things are moving in the wrong direction. Again, this is just personal. And there's no guarantee that this new design would last even 5 years.

Re: Packet drops and queue length upon bandwidth limiting in PF
Ashish Awasthi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am a relative newbie, so please don't flame me if my question doesn't make sense. In a network experiment to determine appropriate length of router buffers, I am using pfctl on FreeBSD 5.3 to limit the bandwidth to 100 Mbps on a 1 Gig link and limit the queue to 240 packets, and I use iperf for sending out data. Connection is maintained between two routers running FreeBSD 5.3, connected by a 1 Gig link. I monitor on sender the pfctl and iperf statisitcs. As I see the iperf throughput go down from 94 Mbps to 50 Mbps and then rise again in accordance with the classic sawtooth curve of TCP, it is clear that there must have been a packet drop, but pfctl -s -queue -v -v at the sender shows 0 losses and 0 drops. Moreover, the queue length as reported never overflows. Even netstat shows 0 retransmissions! I tried this with queue lengths of 50, 100, 240, 10 and 5. Only when queue length is on the order of 5 or 10 do I see packet drops in pfctl report (and also retransmissions in the netstat report); however, since I have limited the bandwidth and the outgoing traffic is shaped by this limitation, it is clear that there must be some packet losses in other cases as well. So, I tend to think that some other queueing is occuring apart from the ALTQ, and drops are occuring there. If so, how can I obtain those statistics? You're making a lot of assumptions about how things work, so I'll follow in kind. I would assume that pf is sending ICMP source quench messages to the sending machine to avoid overflowing its queues. If it's proactive in doing this, it would never overflow, except in the case where the queue is so short that it can't reply with a source quench fast enough. To me, this would be expected behaviour. A little packet sniffing should show whether this is what is actually happening or not. As a side note, this is why arbitrarily blocking all ICMP messages is a bad idea. -- Bill Moran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Why are so many people using 4.x?
Hello Vladimir! 30 years of development and continual introduction of new features build on top of existing ones is considered a very good design. And FreeBSD is still extensible and growing, despite of its age. Yes, the fact that it's still ongoing is amazing. If it has managed to keep going for 30 years, it will surely keep on going for another 30 years. What I meant was, the fundamentals for FreeBSD was set 30 years ago. Isn't it time we change that? So what _fundamentals_ would you have be changed? And FreeBSD is not a skyscraper neigther literally, nor metaphorically - it's more like a spaceship - a very robust one - gives you the means and tools to save your life in deep space when a threat to your life appears and there is noone around. I think you're watching too much scifi. Before even starting talking about design, we should give proper definition for this concept. What is good design? It's pretty well defined at http://www.designcouncil.org.uk How do we measure one design against an alternative one? You ask an experienced designer, preferably an architect. That's the only way, otherwise you'll just be trying to bite your own tail. The widespread notion of good desing is related to the ability to maintain, extent and comprehend easily some complex system. No. Good design is transforming something complex into something easy. FreeBSD is complex. FreeBSD is easy - very much so in comparison with some other so-called 'systems' available for comparison. jerry 30 years... You do the math! ? I'm not sure you're ready to present a new and revolutionary design (you should start a new threat on that). It's more like you're in search of volunteers to your FreeBSD Critisism Project. I should be ready in a few weeks. If you're interested I'd be glad to show it to you! Revolutionary design means starting from scratch - this would be a huge, tremendous investment of time and efforts(choose a platform, a language, write a compiler for it, start building a kernel, write completely new device drivers - Microsoft have its Singularity Research Project - an operating system written entirely in C#, but they don't share the tools - the C# compiler and linker they use to build that system, neighter the code - you can get just a couple of PowerPoint presentions, an interview, and a short 50 page long paper, about the features that this system will introduce - on the other hand you can get all of the FreeBSD source code, tones and tones of documentation, and hundreds of ready to help you people - FOR FREE). Revolutionary design, according to Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, one of the most popular science models of our time, characterizes science (where the same applies to design) as going from normal science to science in crisis and from science in crisis to scientific revolution. To me there's a crisis now because I personally believe things are moving in the wrong direction. Again, this is just personal. And there's no guarantee that this new design would last even 5 years. You're absolutely right! At some point in time this will probably happen, but it won't be FreeBSD. FreeBSD is not a vendor - it's an existing and evolving operating system and a commited community of FreeBSD users. The emphasis is on evolving.

It will quite easily remove the extra CR in every line.
Then, if you need, you can rename the clean file to the dirty file

a number of widly varied questions [FreeBSD 6.0; stdc++6, Xorg/Drivers issues, one KDE issue]
Sorry if some of these aren't all exactly appropriate for here, but this seems like the best place to ask for a number of them, especially given my system is FreeBSD, and I've gotten everything from ports. I'm putting all of this in one email as just a not-so-quick, quick overview, and to ask if I should do everything in one email, or should I split it into several emails? First off: /var/log: I know at least one question will require a file from /var/log, is it ok to delete the log file (in this case Xorg.0.log) and run the app to make sure the log is as concise as possible? stdc++6 One of my applications wants libstdc++6. when I whereis every variant I can think of, the only result is: /usr/src/contrib/libstdc++. This looks old (dec. 2004), and I'm nervous about using it. Is there any way to upgrade this using ports, or, like the kernel, do I need to just grit my teeth, [if it is old, ]download a new source, go to the source directory and have at it? libdrm is installed, however, finding information on loading the module through userspace rather than kernelspace seems to be hard to find, googling for drm information gives me nothing but kernelspace stuff, and they just say that userspace is possible. XOrg Video: Long story short: this computer was originally built for someone else, who would never touch anything but windows, cheapest card for the non-3d person was an X300. Didn't know I'd end up getting it back (and now using it as a *Nix box), or I'd have spent enough to get a non-TC nVidia in here... Regardless, my monitor (Samsung 712N) likes 1280x1024, Xorg refuses to run at anything but 1280x960 (which isn't even in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file). I expect in answering this my xorg.conf and my Xorg.0.log file will be desired quantities, but this is just an overview mail, and I don't want to waste space until I know this group is right for this question, or you are going to ship me off to one of the xorg lists (which I can't seem to find on their site). I'm using the dri driver module. Also, on an athlon64, and a 64 bit installtion, what's the best way to get the drm module working? ports/graphics/drm-kmod wants an i386 compile (and while I'll be setting up a i386 cross compiler for open office, I seriously doubt a 386 kernel module will be happy in a 64 bit kernel). XOrg Mouse: Logitech MX518. 10 buttons. Can only get 7 to work, and of the 10 buttons, there's only 1 I don't use extensively, that one, sadly is wasting space in the used' category. Played with various things, and I've gotten it down to the default xorg driver module doesn't recognize more than 7 buttons, I need to know which module to use, and any advice on configuring it. KDE; Actually, it's KDM that's the issue, when I try to log in using it, regardless of the chosen desktop/window manager (KDE, ION, WMaker, failsafe, etc. etc.), the screen goes blank, and I get kicked back to the login. XDM works fine, albeit a bit ugly. I haven't gotten to installing GDM, but I suspect I'll probably end up with that. Still I use a KDE session, I'd just as soon use the same groups login system. Again, I suspect this will be an xorg log file and a kdm logfile request, but you might recommend I go to the KDE mailing lists instead, so I figured I'd verify here first.

Check out tr(1)
It will quite easily remove the extra CR in every line.
Then, if you need, you can rename the clean file to the dirty file
something like: # tr -d \r dirtyfile cleanfile
# mv cleanfile dirtyfile
Sorry, it takes two steps.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Jayson Alvarez Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 7:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Need some tips in reorganizing our LAN. Hi, Right now, I'm working in a poor government agency where the network is not well organized. Its hard to trace users that are doing this stuff and doing that.IP addresses are scattered all around the 3 story building.Switches are cascading everywhere.. Everything is a disaster. When a machine is infected with some worms, its trivial to track it down..When one is doing p2p, no one can stop him. Perhaps the reason why this is happening right now is that the former network administrators OK so this I think implies they all were fired? did not consider the scenarios that will happen in the future, like increasing number of users and workstations mobilization of employees from one area to another, etc. Right now, we have a freebsd 4.7 lying in a dark room not far away from where I am right now. And it is indeed the center of our Local Area Network.. Guess what, it has only 2 interfaces. One connected to public, and the other connected to our private switch. That private interfaced is aliased to multiple subnets like this: 10.10.1.1 10.10.2.1 10.10.3.1 10.10.4.1 10.10.5.1 This interface is connected to 1 switch and then 5 or more switches are connected to this main switch. Those 5 or more switches are then scattered to every area of the building. I know you are thinking a lot of negative things about this setup, but this is what it really looks right now. The MIS suggested a LAN transition project, and I was assigned to lead the team. Right now, we are only two in this very big team. :-) I'm just wondering if I will ever gonna finish this project or not. I have a lot of stuffs mixed up in my mind right now but I really don't know where to start. You are going to find you might as well start over and toss everything. These kinds of clean up projects only work right if the chief network admins who have all the institutional knowledge run the cleanup project. If your new, and the people with the institutional knowledge aren't around anymore, you have little choice but to just start over. This is not an uncommon scenario since incompetent admins are the ones who are most likely to create big undocumented messes. I have these in my mind right now: Connectivity 1. wired 2. wireless Machines being hooked into the network: 1. servers 2. workstations 3. testbeds 4. personal (laptops etc.) Will use DHCP Will use centralized directory service Will use centralized authentication We have at most 150 employees... We don't have that much to spend on equipments like managed switches, powerful servers, etc. We have a lot of political issues that needs to be resolved regarding network usage policies You have to start with these first. Unless you can get a statement of use worked out and have the top dogs sign off on it, your screwed before you even start. Do this first before you have spent all your political capital because you are absolutely going to be pissing off people and later on you won't have the support to do it. You ought to know as well that I know several professional admins that do this for a living - they are hired in the wake of incompetents being fired, and they come in and hatchet out everything, then once everything is running smoothly, they quit and go on to the next company, because by the time they are done, everyone in the office save the directors, hate their guts. (and the directors are laughing up their sleeves at the users) They get paid pretty damn good money for this. All these stuffs, basically mixed up in my mind. I really have no idea where to start aside from creating a purchase request for a new PC router and a multiple port lan card, which I already did a week ago..And it has not arrived yet. :-) Please help me. I told my partner that services configuration is just a piece of cake once we already have a definite plan. I really don't know where to start. I'm not even tasked to do this... I'm just tasked to help my partner who is a member of the poor MIS. At first, I thought this would be just as easy as upgrading the machine to FreeBSD 6.0 and then reconfiguring the firewall ruleset, but I was wrong. If you have any Network Transition plan that you may want to share to me, please do so. Even if we don't have that much similarities in our network setup, at least the non technical part like planning etc... Just start over and don't bother with a transition plan. If you spend a lot of time documenting what is there now you will get snared into keeping the bandaids going. The only way is to interview every user, document all the services that all the users are officially supposed to be using, then figure out how to provide those in the cleanest way possible, then start doing that.

I wouldn't give out a root password either. I think, though, the reason it was asked for was you were proving to be so inept that it was wanted so the problem could be fixed and you would stop with your shenanigans on that issue. If you would use the suggestions given, so you have a base to work from, you could then figure out how to put it in a script and run the script to your hearts content. But until you have that base to work from, a whole lot of you're scripts aren't going to work the way you want them to.

system monitors and SMP on FreeBSD
Hi, Is there a system monitor for freebsd that supports SMP? I've tried some (gkrellm, xosview, xsysinfo) but they all show only one cpu. Or is there a way to enable SMP in these monitors?

The only clue is that the return code is 1. Sample session: trisha% firefox trisha% echo $? 1 trisha% The only thing in /usr/ports/UPDATING on firefox is from 2004.

The reason I asked it on the FreeBSD questions list was because I tried the exact same approach on a Linux machine and it worked just fine there. ahhh, there it is: you are not here with an open mind, just with preoccupations. i respect those who continue to support, disregarding history or person. respect.

Re: terrible performance in 6.1beta4
Miguel wrote: .. postgresql is slow for me and others wrote: ... you may have to dedicate more memory to it Sorry for the above, but I haven't seen the beginning of the thread. I don't know PostgreSQL much but I also has been recently running quite simple program on one quite large table (2 milions of rows) and was trying to tune it. I haven't benchmarked anything (only that it was several orders of magnitude faster to run it on much bigger machine (2x2.8G Xeon, 2GB RAM, 10/15kRPM SCSI disks vs. 1xP4 Celeron 2.4G, 256MB RAM and an IDE disk)). I did the tuning after reading a little on the Net but the _POSSIBLY_IMPORTANT_ message I found was that PostgreSQL is a little different to other DB engines that it normally doesn't eat comparatively much memory even on loaded system because the developers believe that when a data set is much bigger than available memory (usual for big databases) it doesn't make sense to cache much in the DB engine because the OS can do it too and you can save memory... Above is the core of what I wanted to say - PostgreSQL process size was quite small (~100MB) on the bigger machine yet I think I tuned it according to the recommendations and that it is probably expected and correct with PostgreSQL. After comparing my config file to yours I see some differences: I have set some limits lower than you (shared_buffers 65536 vs. 1, work_mem 83886 vs. 1) and one higher (max_fsm_pages 2 vs. 10). I suspect that the main difference in our configs is fsync setting though. I have fsync = off and you the default (on). This may be very important difference, maybe similar to MySQL's innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit (which, when set to 2, raises the performance of MySQL with InnoDB on FreeBSD significantly). I seem to remember that I read somewhere that fsync is pretty expensive on FreeBSD in comparison to Linux (because they cheat, as usual :-)) so maybe you can give it a try on your PostgreSQL too. It probably is a little dangerous though.

SiI3112 Controller Question
Hello All: I'm setting up a small fileserver at home running 5.4-RELEASE. I'm booting from a small IDE hard drive and have installed a SiI3112 controller and a pair of SATA drives for data storage. Before starting I flashed the controller with latest firmware (4.2.77) and performed a low-level format and burn-in test on both SATA drives (Maxtor 7L300S0's) using Maxtor's PowerMAX 4.22 diagnostic utilities. The burn-in tests ran two full passes (approx. 8 hours) on each drive without errors so I am reasonably sure the drives are working correctly. I then did the following: atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6 bsdlabel -w /dev/ar0 newfs -O2 -U -b32768 -f4096 -g8388608 -h16 -ospace /dev/ar0a So far so good, but when I do this: mount /dev/ar0a /data I get this: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=24016 Some quick questions: 1) Are these SiI3112 controllers any good? I have the option of using a HighPoint HPT372 instead but was planning to use that elsewhere. 2) Would upgrading to something newer than 5.4-RELEASE help with this issue? DMESG below... TIA, RPK.

something better then rsync for duplicating systems ... ?

Re: No shared library support for realplayer?
Thanks for your response! It turns out that it is perfectly easy to start RealPlayer from within, say Firefox. Starting it from a console with KDE going doesn't work, just as you say.

It is a GUI app, so you would need to start it after or along with an X session. For example, start X, run a xterm, and then run realplay...

Logitech MX700 Moiuse Prblems
I have read many messages on the various lists concerning the Logitech
MX700 mouse and button problems, especially with the scrolling wheel.
The message that provided me the real clue to what is going on was the
one to hardware@ by Joe Schmoe that went through a very complex setup
involving xorg.conf, xmodmap and imwheel. This is just too much work!
Since I always have to modify moused to make my mice operate
left-handed, I know how to use moused to accomplish the same operation
with absolutely no change to xorg.conf, xmodmap or imwheel. Here is the
entry for my mouse in usbd.conf:
device Mouse
devname ums[0-9]+
attach /usr/sbin/moused -m 3=1 -m 1=3 -m 4=6 -m 6=4 -m 5=7 -m
7=5 -p /dev/${DEVNAME}
-I /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on
What I do there is exchange the operation of buttons 1 and 3 to provide
left-handed operation, then switch buttons 4 and 6 and buttons 5 and 7.
I do not change anything else in the standard xorg.conf file.
Now, my mouse wheel works all the time. That whole mess with xmodmap
and imwheel just confused me since I have never used or heard of imwheel
and I also haven't used xmodmap in years, although I used to use it
regularly.
I hope this helps someone else.
/Joe
