Thanks, Björn. Your information solved this problem, the networking works correctly now. Ah, well, I upgraded my other ThinkPad from 600 to 600E to get the 16M colors.

ipf blocking packets from proxy servers
Hi list, I have been running FreeBSD servers as firewalls for several years now and recently installed a new 6.1 server (6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #1) in the place of a 5.4 box that I had installed last year. Since replacing the box my users have had connection problems with their SOAP applications hosted behind the firewall. The symptoms were applications hanging intermittently and massive delays in transactions (up to 2 minutes or more). I eventually realised that this only happened when the users were using our Squid proxy server so I had our Windows admin bloke change the group policy to allow them to bypass the proxy when connecting to the servers. Problem solved I thought... Wrong, now some of our clients are having the same problems and, guess what, they too are using Squid proxies. I have been doing some digging this morning and noticed the following while running ipmon. 06/06/2006 09:19:41.056085 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,65431 - 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp 06/06/2006 09:19:41.557534 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,52159 - 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp 06/06/2006 09:19:42.010889 em0 @1:19 b 165.165.192.80,53088 - 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp len 20 48 -S IN OOW 06/06/2006 09:19:42.063731 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,63975 - 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp 06/06/2006 09:19:42.564807 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,54989 - 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp The 165.x.x.x IP address is from an ADSL line I was using to see what was happening to my packets (I was the only person using the line so it made tcpdumps etc etc easier to interpret). Now here is an extract from my ipfstat -ni @2 block in quick on em0 all head 1 ... @10 pass in quick on em0 proto tcp from any to 196.7.156.157/32 port = http keep state keep frags group 1 ... @19 block in log quick on em0 all group 1 And finally my question: If rule 10 specifically allows all traffic to 196.7.156.157 on port 80 why are packets being blocked? Sorry if this is an extremely noob question and I have overlooked something obvious. I will of course be researching this in the meantime but if anyone could shed some light on this matter I would greatly appreaciate it.

vsftpd uploading rate problem
Hi all. I got a wired problem here. The ftp server I use on my laptop is vsftpd. Till now it works quite well, except the low uploading rate. The situation is: a computer could download stuffs from my laptop via vsftpd at a rate of 10M/s. while uploading stuffs to my laptop at a rate of only 300K~400K :( The account used to log in is one of my local accounts, and I have set local_max_rate=0 in /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf. I am wondering how this imbalance happens. Does anybody have this problem before? Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is typical. I believe that the process killed is the one swapped out the longest, or maybe it's random? Either way, the one killed usually isn't the one using all the memory. What would cause swap to increase steadily like that? Something not releasing swap when it's no longer needed? One of two things: 1) You have misconfigured an application to think it has _way_ more memory available than it does, so it just keeps using more and more memory, because you told it that it was OK to do so. 2) You are running an application with a memory leak. Meaning: it allocates memory, then loses track of said allocation and re-allocates it later.

PTY's in a FreeBSD Jail
All, Sometime ago there was a question posed about the error Server refused to allocate pty when trying to ssh into a freebsd jail. It seemed to be answered by someone saying that the command mount_devfs devfs /your/jail/dir/dev needed to enter, which in fact does make the jail start working. However, it was stated in the same posting that this was not considered to be secure. Hence my question, if this is in fact not secure, how can I get my jail properly configured in FreeBSD 6.0 without compromising the security of the box? I ask because I have several boxes currently running in my environment with jails (FreeBSD 4.x) and do not see this command anywhere in the startup scripts yet the jailed environment appears to be working like a champ. I am fairly new to the FreeBSD world so please pardon my ignorance, if I have displayed any.

Dial Up To ASDL Router
Hello, I've been given a company laptop which is ok but they dont supply data cards. Instead I have been given a 0845 number to dial when at a place with no Internet. Instead I would like to use my mobile to dial my home phone number which is not 0845 therefore included in the thousands of free minutes that I get each month. The only thing that is on in my house is the Freebsd server so how can I set this up to use the dial up modem to answer the phone and connect it to the Internet through the ADSL it is plugged into. I've googled but as I dont know what this type of software is called I didn't find much. Anyone know of any software that will do this?

The software you want is called FreeBSD, and as luck would have it it's already installed on your server. You just need to configure it to do what you want. Plug a standard home phone jack into a standard external modem and plug that into a serial port on the home server, or use an internal modem card that is NOT a software modem (a.k.a. a Winmodem). Configure the server to offer a PPP or SLIP connection when the modem is dialed into, and walla! You just became your own dialup ISP. The server is probably already configured as a network gateway with NAT capabilities; if not you'll need that configured too. There is more to it than that, of course, but further detail may be specific to your hardware and circumstances.

Virtual hosts and PHP downloads: php5 and apache22 on FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE
I upgraded my system from 5.4-RELEASE to 6.1-STABLE last week, and my web server immediately stopped serving PHP pages, where I had no problem doing so before. Instead of processing the PHP code on the server and displaying the result in a browser, browsing to any page containing PHP code resulted in a prompt to download the PHP page as a file. /usr/ports/UPGRADING mentions that PHP has been streamlined and must be recompiled to work with Apache and other packages. After deinstalling, configuring (where applicable), and reinstalling PHP5, php5-extensions, and apache2 to the latest versions, not only were PHP files not being served, but my web server was toast: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. I edited the new apache config file (now located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf) with my system information, including a DocumentRoot path. But when I started apache, I got some very peculiar errors: Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com] does not exist Not only did I confirm beforehand that I had set the DocumentRoot path, and that apache was using the correct config file... but these dummy paths didn't exist in the config file! I learned eventually that a new apache directive splits out virtual host directives to a new include file (/usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf). Then I learned after getting a server warning (NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts) that the syntax has been slightly modified, so that the IP/port value of each VirtualHost specification must match that of the NameVirtualHost directive (i.e., NameVirtualHost *:80 and VirtualHost *:80). Still having trouble though: my main site loads properly, but the other virtual hosts aren't. Browsing to any virtual host address other than the default results in either the wrong content or an error. Here's what my httpd-vhosts.conf looks like: NameVirtualHost *:80 VirtualHost *:80 ServerName www.SiteA.com ServerAlias SiteA.com *.SiteA.com DocumentRoot /usr/www ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-SiteA-error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd-SiteA-access.log combined /VirtualHost VirtualHost *:80 ServerName www.SiteB.com ServerAlias SiteB.com *.SiteB.com DocumentRoot /usr/www2 ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-SiteB-error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd-SiteB-access.log combined /VirtualHost So, what's happening is that SiteA works as expected, but browsing to SiteB brings you to SiteA, or doesn't load at all (403 error).

RE: Dial Up To ASDL Router
Your post is missing a lot of description. I will try to fill in the missing info. Your general wish is to use your personal mobile phone and connect it to your work provided laptop which is running win/xp and be able to dial a landline phone number to your FreeBSD server which is currently connected to the public internet over a 24/7 ADSL line. You need hardware to do this. The laptop needs a winmodem with a telecom phone line that connects to your mobile phone. If your mobile phone does not have i/o jack which most do not, you are dead in the water. You could still plug the laptop winmodem telecom phone line into any hotel or airport public access port and dial the landline phone number to your FreeBSD server. Your home FreeBSD server would need a separate FreeBSD modem (IE not winmodem) and you would use user ppp to answer the incoming call. In this mode your home FreeBSD server would be acting as an gateway LAN box so your dial in connection could have access to your internet connection to public internet.

Some things that might help would be to recheck your cabling, replace the IDE cable with a new one, check for and install the latest BIOS update for your computer, tweak BIOS settings like UltraDMA LBA modes. You might also try booting and installing in Safe mode via the boot menu, which will disable DMA for the IDE devices entirely and might work around the problem long enough for the install to finish.

RE: Virtual hosts and PHP downloads: php5 and apache22 on FreeBSD6.1-STABLE
The php5 port is broken in 6.1. It no longer defaults to activating the php/apache module.

After downloading the 6.1 version php5 port config files you have to do make config and select the apache module. The make install will automatically make the correct changes to your httpd-config file for serving up php pages correctly. php5-extensions is not normally needed.

As you are probably already painfully aware, this is *usually* due to the absence of the necessary lines in the httpd.conf file; specifically, AddModule and LoadModule (pointing to the PHP shared object) and AddType (referring to the MIME type for PHP files). Hi Kevin. Yes: painfully aware at this point. /usr/ports/UPGRADING mentions that PHP has been streamlined and must be recompiled to work with Apache and other packages. After deinstalling, configuring (where applicable), and reinstalling PHP5, php5-extensions, and apache2 to the latest versions, not only were PHP files not being served, but my web server was toast: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Not toast, exactly. Another configuration error, most likely. httpd.conf tells the server which file(s) is/are acceptable as INDEX files. If all your index files were index.php, for example, and the httpd.conf file (which is new, apparently?) says that only index.html files are allowed as INDEX files, you'll get this error every time. Yup... and with apache22, one of the benefits is that the PHP file handler lines are automatically filled in when compiling PHP (although I assume that would be the case with any version of apache as well). I edited the new apache config file (now located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf) with my system information, including a DocumentRoot path.

I also don't use ServerAlias directives. Like I said, no expert. Right: that's not from the httpd.conf file itself any longer; it's the httpd-vhosts.conf file, which is called on as an include in the 2.2 version of httpd.conf. In earlier versions, the VirtualHost directives have been moved from the main config file to that include file. And the IP/port specification for each VirtualHost entry must now match that of the NameVirtualHost entry (as shown above). So, what's happening is that SiteA works as expected, but browsing to SiteB brings you to SiteA, or doesn't load at all (403 error). In addition, I'm back to my original problem, where PHP files are not loading, and browsing to a PHP page prompts the user to download the page as a file. Any help on either the virtual hosts or the PHP download issue would be greatly appreciated. You said you did this already, but I'd again make **sure** I was editing the correct httpd.conf. Get the right syntax, and it'll be there. Watch out for IF syntax, also. I triple-checked the config to make sure apache is loading the correct config file. In fact, I've finally gotten the config to the point where none of the apache self-tests report any syntax or configuration errors at all. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it works as I'd expected; just means there are no syntax errors. Can you post the relevant lines (AddModule, LoadModule, AddType) and whether or not they are contained in an IF ?? Please find my httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf

Re: portupgrade across NFS
Sergey Matveychuk wrote: Michael Collette wrote: No luck. I was back on 2.0.1 which I upgraded with pkg_delete and pkg_add. Still the exact same error with deleting the /var/db/pkg directory. Let's make it clean. You have /var/db/pkg as nfs mounted? You can't remove /var/db/pkg/portname directory? Got one bad bit of information from my previous post. The problem DOES exist when just performing a pkg_deinstall. Apparently the one test I based my earlier post on wasn't repeatable. The problem is not with the portupgrade script itself. Dug in quite a bit further with this today. When pkg_deinstall calls to pkg_delete a .nfs file is created which is showing as being actively accessed by the ruby process. This file vanishes once pkg_deinstall quits. Due to that file, even attempting a rm -rf on that directory will fail within pkg_deinstall. For testing this out, we added a cheap hack to the portupgrade script immediately after the call to pkg_deinstall that just removes the directory once pkg_deinstall has ended. This works, but has no logic or error checking at this point. The pkg_deinstall script does not report that it didn't complete, so the main portupgrade script just keeps on going as though there were no errors. With that being said, what I believe needs to happen in the short term is to have a check within the portupgrade script where if the pkg_deinstall returns successful and the /var/db/pkg directory still exists, delete it. This would be right around line 1721. Obviously the more correct thing to do here would be to correct pkg_deinstall's behavior. That looks like it may be quite a bit more clever to do, thus my recommendation for fixing portupgrade now, and revisit pkg_deinstall later. I'm just concerned that the real problem may have more to do with the ruby engine and NFS than this script, which may take many months to correct.

How to set up private gateway server with specific features
I have a new freebsd6.1-stable install I've almost got it configured the way I want it. Except Ive got a couple of problems and dont see what to do about it. requirements I cant figure out how to do are: specific setup issues are I have two nics and one is named red, and the other green, as you can imagine the red one is out to the internet, and the green one is the internal net. green ip = 192.168.1.1 red ip = DHCP 1. I need a dhcp server on the green net that can update the dns server automatically when a dhcp lease is accepted. 2. The freebsd server needs to be able to be a dns server for the green net and forward other requests to the nameserver obtained from the DHCP setup. 3. the dns server needs to be setup to look to itself for name resolution first so that it can resolve names of internal clients as well as external ones. 4. Id like to be able to assign the same ip address from the dhcp pool to the same host for testing purposes when building new servers. I find that configuring the dhcp server to assign the same lease via hostname works better than configuring temporary hostnames. WHAT I've done so far... I already know how to configure dnsmasq to do both the dns and dhcp part of my requirements and that is currently setup and running. except that the server is not looking to itself for name resolution first. Ive used dnsmasq before and in this setup it requires that the dhcp client that runs on the red interface NOT create a new /etc/resolv.conf but instead create that file in some other defined location like /etc/dhcp/resolv.conf dnsmasq can then be configured to look to the other resolv.conf for domains which are not local, and the server looks to dnsmasq for its own name resolution because I've hardcoded its own static internal ip in /etc/resolv.conf using the default dhclient, I can not configure it to NOT replace the /etc/resolv,conf and instead replace some other file. (actually I could get by with just NOT replacing /etc/resolv.conf and I can hardcode the other one, but dhclient just doesnt seem to have this feature.) yes I read the man page! I cant not seem to get any dhcp server Ive used (isc-dhcp-server, and dnsmasq build-in) to properly read the hostname and send the same ip address each time. seems that one of my freebsd clients does not report its hostname to the dhcp server in the way I expect. assume a fqdn of myhost.myinternaldomain.net windows boxes and some unix boxes report to the dhcp server a hostname of myhost, but my dhcp server couldnt match to a client hostname of myhost and serve out the IP I requested. I altered the dhcp server to expect a hostname of the full fqdn, but it didnt match on that either. so what hostname does dhclient report when its trying to get an ip address. For security reasons I dont want to use bind. so I looked at using tinydns and dnscache, that sort of worked, but again I couldn't make the dhcp server update the DNS database. dnsmasq works because it is its own dhcp server. so the name server portion automatically reads the dhcp leases database when answering queries. Has anyone else been able to set this up with these requirements? Im stuck taking this server to the next level all my internet sharing and such works now, so it isnt a major issue, but I'd to fix it just the same ( if for no other reason than a learning process) Thanks for suggestions ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then I learned after getting a server warning (NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts) that the syntax has been slightly modified, so that the IP/port value of each VirtualHost specification must match that of the NameVirtualHost directive (i.e., NameVirtualHost *:80 and VirtualHost *:80). Still having trouble though: my main site loads properly, but the other virtual hosts aren't. Browsing to any virtual host address other than the default results in either the wrong content or an error. Here's what my httpd-vhosts.conf looks like: NameVirtualHost *:80 VirtualHost *:80

Thanks for that. I do appreciate it. This has been covered in great detail on this list in the past 6 weeks which you would have found out if you reviewed the list archives before posting this question. I may have missed a week or two, but the only responses I've seen personally have been see /usr/ports/UPDATING, which I did. I'm not thrilled with the stock RTFM post, but I guess that's par for the course. After downloading the 6.1 version php5 port config files you have to do make config and select the apache module. The make install will automatically make the correct changes to your httpd-config file for serving up php pages correctly. php5-extensions is not normally needed. I did that. That's pointed out in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Unfortunately, it didn't automatically fix the issue for me. Your other httpd-config problems are due to you using apache22 instead of apache13 which is the rock hard production version of Apache web server. Apache22 is generally considered as the developmental version. I was running 1.3 before my BSD upgrade to 6.1-STABLE. There were security issues with 1.3 that were not resolved at the time of my upgrade. And I assumed with the package changes to PHP5 in 6.1 that going with an updated version of apache as well would be the best method. If you're saying I should revert back to 1.3, should I also revert to an earlier version of PHP5, or is the latest and greatest still best compatible with apache13?

Instead of processing the PHP code on the server and displaying the result in a browser, browsing to any page containing PHP code resulted in a prompt to download the PHP page as a file. /usr/ports/UPGRADING mentions that PHP has been streamlined and must be recompiled to work with Apache and other packages. After deinstalling, configuring (where applicable), and reinstalling PHP5, php5-extensions, and apache2 to the latest versions, not only were PHP files not being served, but my web server was toast: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. I edited the new apache config file (now located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf) with my system information, including a DocumentRoot path. But when I started apache, I got some very peculiar errors: Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com] does not exist Not only did I confirm beforehand that I had set the DocumentRoot path, and that apache was using the correct config file... but these dummy paths didn't exist in the config file!

In addition, I'm back to my original problem, where PHP files are not loading, and browsing to a PHP page prompts the user to download the page as a file. Any help on either the virtual hosts or the PHP download issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Apache22 and PHP4. Haven't encountered any problems yet. You could try PHP4 and see how it goes. As stated above, make config and select apache module.
Heavy creation and deletion of symlinks
I am currently planning an FTP-based service which requires a custom application to run which will create hundreds (if not thousands) of symlinks in various directories per hour. There will probably also be a cronjob running to delete symlinks periodically. The main purpose of the server will be medium to heavy traffic FTP serving. So my question is; how does such activity affect the general health and operation of FreeBSD? Also, the health of the harddrive(s) which will most likely be SATA disks. It is my understanding that symlinks only affects the file allocation table, and not the physical data blocks? This would mean that the impact isn't so terrible, as the changes will be contained to a relatively small part of the beginning of the disk, correct? -- Dag Rune Sneeggen Romolslia 23B 7029 Trondheim NORWAY -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

slow system startup; recovering vi sessions
Hello, My freebsd 5.4 is taking about 5-7 minutes to start/restart because it tries to recover the crashed vi sessions.

natd not starting on boot-up
I'm thoroughly puzzled. Over the weekend I transferred my FreeBSD system to a new hard drive. Through laziness I didn't follow the instructions and had to make a completely new install. Everything now seems to be working the way it should, Apache, MySQL, PHP, syslog, Samba -- except natd. Everything starts on boot-up as it should -- except natd. I can start it manually from the command line after booting up and logging in and it works fine, but I can't tell what's going on that it's failing to start. My /etc/rc.conf contains the following: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. defaultrouter=203.151.134.1 gateway_enable=YES hostname=poppy.international.stjohn.ac.th ifconfig_ed0=inet 10.3.16.125 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_ed1=inet 203.151.134.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 router_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN firewall_quiet=YES natd_enable=YES natd_interface=ed1 ipv6_enable=YES linux_enable=YES moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/sysmouse moused_type=auto screen=daemon nfs_client_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES What can I do to get some indication of where the problem is? -- Roger ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Firefox crashes and hangs my 6.1R system
Hi, Lately, and seemingly inexplicably, firefox will lock up my X server with it if I click a button where filesystem access is required eg. if I'm in an 'upload file' form and a 'Browse...' button is available to go to a filesystem browser. If I ssh into the machine remotely I can see that Xorg is using 90+% CPU and the only way to recover is to reboot (which doesn't even execute cleanly). Interestingly, I can reproduce this situation when running firefox on a remote host but displaying locally so it seems more likely X/system related than specifically firefox. When the machine hangs, even the keyboard is non functional eg scroll lock won't light. I have USB keyboard/mouse. I'd appreciate any tips for diagnosis/recovery. I've appended the most relevant configuration information. I've already rebuilt and installed kernel/world to ensure I'm up to date, and portupgraded as much as practicable. I should note that I haven't changed my build options for firefox since pre-crash, either. regards, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Firefox options: # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for firefox-1.5.0.4,1 _OPTIONS_READ=firefox-1.5.0.4,1 WITH_NEWTAB=true WITHOUT_SMB=true WITHOUT_DEBUG=true WITH_LOGGING=true WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=true 6.1-RELEASE-p1 Information for xorg-server-6.9.0_4: Depends on: Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Information for firefox-1.5.0.4,1: Depends on: Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2 Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2 Dependency: jpeg-6b_4 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: png-1.2.8_3 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: popt-1.7_1 Dependency: perl-5.8.8 Dependency: glib-2.10.2 Dependency: nspr-4.6.1 Dependency: nss-3.11_1 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: libxml2-2.6.24 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Dependency: libXft-2.1.7_1 Dependency: tiff-3.8.2 Dependency: xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 Dependency: shared-mime-info-0.17_1 Dependency: bitstream-vera-1.10_2 Dependency: libIDL-0.8.6_2 Dependency: atk-1.11.4 Dependency: xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 Dependency: hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 Dependency: glitz-0.4.4_1 Dependency: desktop-file-utils-0.11 Dependency: cairo-1.0.4 Dependency: pango-1.12.2 Dependency: gtk-2.8.17 My current kernel config file: machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident GX260 options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET# InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS# Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT# GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV# install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN device apic# I/O APIC device pci device fdc device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options
