Best, Amarendra If the IP is public and you don't require direct access to this IP from the internet, put a router in place between your modem and the server and give your server a static private IP.

Re: some thoughts about gmirror
Rsync is a great tool however if you try to rsync a filesystem with hundreds of thousand files in it the file list can use quite a large amount of bandwidth even if only a single file has changed - if you were keeping track of the blocks which had changed then you do not need to generate this list and simply send over the changed blocks. I was not thinking the remote side would mount the image unless the primary site was offline/unavailable. Mike. On Fri, 6 Apr 2007, R. B.

hardware problems?..how to disable geom?
Hi folks, I have sinned:-( I have (for testing purposes) activated geom for mirroring on my freebsd 6.2 via c3 cpu system. However, I used two different brand IDE harddisks but identical in capacity. I have: ad0: 76319MB MAXTOR STM3802110A 3.AAK at ata0-master UDMA100 ad3: 76319MB Seagate ST3802110A 3.AAJ at ata1-slave UDMA100 At first everything worked, but lately I have noticed some weird things: 1) In the beginning the gmirror status command was showing the complete status for the components ad0 or ad3 (it was altering I guess due to the round robin thing I choose) However since a few weeks, only the ad0 component shows the complete status (the only thing I did in between was removing the seagate harddisk once to try to go to a pc mall and buy a second one but when I returned I just reattached it (I hadn't switched the pc on though in the mean time so I don't think it's an issue)) 2) I started to have problems building the ports and make buildword 3) bash core dumped on my (I couldn't log in nomaly anymore and had to use csh) 4) now I see that rsyncd, freshclam and clamav are core dumping when the machine boots up: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad3 detected. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad3 activated. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad0 activated. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 launched. Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a pid 896 (rsync), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) pid 928 (clamd), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) pid 934 (freshclam), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) So I want to bring the machine back to its normal state by doing this: a) remove seagate harddisk b) remove the mirror c) see if everything works fine again because I don't want to reinstall (I CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS RIGHT?) The question is, how di I get rid of the mirror? Or is it better to order a new seagate harddisk, get rid of the maxtor harddisk and install the new seagate harddisk in stead of the maxtor one and rebuild the mirror?

RE: Receiver (To/CC envelope fields) addresses verification against LDAP/Active Directory in sendmail
-Original Message- From: Mikhail Goriachev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 7 April 2007 3:23 PM You could use /usr/ports/mail/mimedefang (www.mimedefang.org) miltered into your sendmail. Sorta like py-milter but in perl. The simplest, quickest and dirtiest solution would be to feed a list of valid recipients into mimedefang and let it accept or reject incoming mail. Then it is a matter of finding a way to keep the list up to date. Or, instead of feeding mimedefang with a list, you could instruct it to poll your internal mail server like you already suggested. For a long term solution I prefer storing aliases, maps, etc. in LDAP. The LDAP solution would be ideal. The export/access list method you suggest is what LDAPMAP seems to do, but it doesn't compile. I am no coder, so if it doesn't compile right off I won't use it, figuring it will be a hack each time it has to be updated even if I manage to figure out what's stopping it from compiling. I am considering writing a script that exports all valid addresses from Active Directory via LDAP and then processes the results and appends it to the sendmail access database (I hope that there is an alternative to REJECT, as that would enable directory harvesting), a catch-all in virtual users to send anything that isn't valid straight to /dev/null. This poses some risks, however. I would have to build in checks to make sure that an empty or incomplete list was never posted, otherwise, whammo, all mail gone. Will give it some thought. I see Mimedefang everywhere, but I have not messed about with it yet. I guess I need to run up a trial VM to have a go, though I have absolutely no perl skills at all. Thanks for the suggestions!

Not that that is relevant to this subject). I guess I could white-list out all of sales' and senior management's addresses. I could even do an export from Active Directory to produce the whitelist, and that would allow me to only do certain departments. And worse case scenario is everyone's mail is delayed a little, where as the other method could result in lost mail if the LDAP query gets weird results.

Here is my Usenet post. . : I am running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE (SMP), and the the system seems to be pausing. System details: I have da0, da1, da2, da3, each 500GB, I'm also using GEOM_CONCAT to concatenation, amd64 SMP kernel, and 16GB of ram. Running 7 jails, primarily running apache, samba, postfix, pgsql. On what appears to be random occasions (usually several times in 5m) the system seems to pause. For instance, vipw takes 40s to respond, or the smbd which clients use for their mailbox.pst ignores requests from outlook to act on the file. Then moments later it is happy again, and begins working normally. I have been monitoring top while it happens and it appears like it is doing very little. . ie. . last pid: 75014; load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.07 up 203+07:20:57 15:24:53 246 processes: 1 running, 244 sleeping, 1 stopped CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 0.1% interrupt, 99.7% idle Mem: 967M Active, 13G Inact, 320M Wired, 782M Cache, 214M Buf, 569M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 2504K Used, 4093M Free Tried running nice -20 vipw and it still took some time for it to run. Could it be a file locking issue?. . Any thoughts or ideas on further troubleshooting would really be appreciated -- Since that post it actually appears to only be happening in one jail called drzoe. The host system seems to be working properly during these slow downs Other things I've considered: 1) Is there an upper limit to the number of connections a NIC can support? Am I exceeding it? NiC Switches aren't showing any packet loss. There's a limit to everything. What does sockstat -4 | wc give you? I seriously doubt you're hitting any limit there, but it's possible. 2) Am I running out of IO, to and from the disks? Tried looking at iostat, but I'm exactly sure what a problem would look like. Seems like this wouldn't be jail specific I prefer using systat to watch this behaviour as it happens. The vmstat screen is particularly useful. See the man page. Give it seems to be limited to this jail it seems unlikely to be hardware. . Based on your problems with vipw, it sounds like you have a lot of processes contending for write access to the password file. The next time you see the problem, execute fstat /etc/master.passwd and see how many processes are accessing it and what they are. (Don't get jailbrained.

Re: some thoughts about gmirror
if you were keeping track of the blocks which had changed then you do not need to generate this list and simply send over the changed blocks. Unison keeps a list of files at each end and only exchanges block lists for files that have changed. I use it to sync 40GB (10K files) over a 1Mbps link and it's very fast. It also will do two-way sync. Unison and rsync both work on the filesystem level and not with the blocks directly so would not be able to achieve the same result as the live network backup on netbsd - ie allowing a simple dd restore of a machine. As this would be filesystem independent and if you are running zfs or other snapshot capable filesystem i think rsync or unison would have a problem working with the snapshots. i do use rsync with close to about 1Tb of data and a lot hard links for - but if the remote file changes you have to store the entire copy of new file and not just the actual blocks which have changed.

I have seen a few where there's a quick attempt to resend the same spam from up to about five different spam zombies, but greylisting handles that very effectively. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You might be in need to issue a fc-cache command.
The command builds cache files that are read by fontconfig. Maybe they
are missing from your system.
I had such an issue a long time ago, so I might be wrong here. But
fc-cache just needs a few seconds to execute so it won't hurt. And it
won't break anything. ;-)
Can anybody clue me in?

You forgot chomp $server; All commands with backticks ('`') have
newlines inserted after them.
There should only be one reference to *default host= though, so
why are you going through the trouble of using sed?
This can be done inline with perl as well.

My guess is that that particular error message is a typo because usually
Perl scripts are prefixed like {blah}.pl, not {blah}.PL.

Yes, you were right! It was enough to rename .PL to .pl with Makefile.

Either that or a config file's goofed up. I tried to install some PM
from CPAN recently and all of the Makefiles were once with .PL, not .pl.
Hmmm...

Skype can't connect.

[recap of a problem often requoted recently on list] I happen to be blind and so can't examine your .png files. I also happen to be a very regular user of Skype (though on Windows) and FreeBSD (though an old version). First question: Why, after all the urging, do you not just try the hw.snd.maxautovchans option and see what happens? It doesn't take long to do this, and certainly not as long as it takes to retype your question with details. :) But maybe you aren't aware that having multiple channels can, at least afaik, allow device names like /dev/dsp0.0, /dev/dsp0.1, etc. If just setting maxautovchans doesn't let you use the same device name in both places, maybe you can use different ones after all. But I still think you have to set maxautovchans. Details from you remain below.

Package management question
I need a little advise on FreeBSD package management, I am kind of new to the FreeBSD package management thing and so I am sure this is a very basic question. I just installed 6.2 and apparently it installed the mysql-client 5.0 package. I want to get mysql up to 5.1 from the /usr/ports directory, figuring the most recent version in the ports directory is better. So, I built the mysql51 port and when it came time to do make install it complained that mysql 5.0 was already in place and I should delete it first: # make install === Installing for mysql-client-5.1.11 === mysql-client-5.1.11 conflicts with installed package(s): mysql-client-5.0.27 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-client. Fair enough, but when I look at the pkg_info for 5.0.27: $ pkg_info mysql-client-5.0.27 Information for mysql-client-5.0.27: Comment: Multithreaded SQL database (client) Required by: koffice-1.5.2,2 kde-3.5.4 Description: MySQL is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. WWW: http://www.mysql.com/ - Alex Dupre [EMAIL PROTECTED] And indeed pkg_delete doesn't allow me to delete the package due to the dependencies: # pkg_delete mysql-client-5.0.27 pkg_delete: package 'mysql-client-5.0.27' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: koffice-1.5.2,2 kde-3.5.4 So, is the right answer to use pkg_delete -f and force the delete and then install mysql 5.1 and hope that koffice and kde are OK with the change ? That seems a bit brutal, but I can't seem to find any kind of a pkg_update option. I really just want to get a mysql server on the machine, but the mysql51-server port complained there weas no mysql-51-client. I assume I can install the mysql50-server, but I might as well go with the latest and greatest if I can.
