Hello list, I have installed via pkg_add -r various packages for my 6.2-RELEASE. I have recognized that on this way I will not get always the newest package.

Re: rebuilding the system
Hi, first you should get ALL sources. You can do this easily with cvsup. In /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ you find a file called 'stable-supfile'. Copy it to some location (/root for example) and edit it. All you have to change is the line '*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org'; just chose a FreeBSD CVS-mirror near you.

My first guess would be that there are two *different* LAN controllers - one connected to the PCI bus and the other via PCI-E most likely. The one that appears in ifconfig is probably the PCI one, while the PCI-E connected one is likely a newer chip which is not supported by 6.2. Checking the documentation for the motherboard verifies this guess. Your MB has a Marvell 88E001 (connected via PCI) which is supported by FreeBSD 6.2 using the sk(4) driver. It also has a Marvell 88E056 PCI-E chip which is not supported by 6.2. The good news is that 7-CURRENT and 6-stable should both support the 88E056 NIC using the msk(4) driver. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Since this is my first post to the mailling list, top post or bottom
post which one is preferred?
If you have a problems with open file descriptors beccause of
VirtualHosts it is my guess that you are logging separately for each
vhost (both access, and error). The way I found to solve this was to
put it all in one file that is then split up into the separate files
using a perl script. It is called split-logfile and can be found
online, I believe it was in the Apache source tree. All you need to
change is instead of having seperate log files for each of them, you
have one log file (which outputs the information using the vhost name
as the first item on the line so that the perl script can sort it
through that), thus only one FD is used to log.
LogFormat %v %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\ \%{User-
Agent}i\ cvh
CustomLog /usr/local/logs/everything.log cvh
So you can scale out to 5000 vhosts and not run into any limit
problems. For errors the splitting up is a bit more tricky, but you
should be able to get it done as well.
Good luck,

Easiest method to install a DVD writer
Hi, I have a desktop Compaq computer running the latest stable version of FreeBSD. I want to install a DVD writer to use for backups (either internal or USB). Can someone recommend the easiest method to do this by? Is there a list of supported DVD writers for the latest stable version of FreeBSD? I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring it. I just want to install something I know will work, with minimal need for configuration. Also, will I need special software to do the actual writing? If so, what free software works well and is easy to use? Suggestions? Success stories? Thanks, Dave P.S.

Since this is my first post to the mailling list, top post or bottom
post which one is preferred?
If you have a problems with open file descriptors beccause of
VirtualHosts it is my guess that you are logging separately for each
vhost (both access, and error). The way I found to solve this was to
put it all in one file that is then split up into the separate files
using a perl script. It is called split-logfile and can be found
online, I believe it was in the Apache source tree. All you need to
change is instead of having seperate log files for each of them, you
have one log file (which outputs the information using the vhost name
as the first item on the line so that the perl script can sort it
through that), thus only one FD is used to log.
LogFormat %v %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\ \%{User-
Agent}i\ cvh
CustomLog /usr/local/logs/everything.log cvh
So you can scale out to 5000 vhosts and not run into any limit
problems. For errors the splitting up is a bit more tricky, but you
should be able to get it done as well.
Bert,
This is an interesting approach. I will consider it. However I believe
one day I will reach this limit again. So I think this is a matter
that will demand some tuning in the future.
Thanks for pointing this approach to avoid using too many FDs :)
Good luck,
Bert JW Regeer

RSA SecurID Pam Module Support?
Hello All: We have recently purchased an RSA SecurID Appliance and there are no native libraries for *BSD OS's.

If so, what free software works well and is easy to use? Suggestions? Success stories? For DVDs you'll need growisofs(1) from the /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools port. I find it easy to use in scripts or from the command line, but there are graphical front ends. Normally, growisofs writes ISO9660 filesystems, but growisofs will burn anything you tell it to. My DVD backup script makes several tar archives of my data, which are then compressed with bzip2 and encrpyted with ccrypt(1). Those tarfiles are burnt directly to DVD, without an ISO9660 filesystem. But I think that DVD's aren't optimal for backups. My advice would be to buy an external USB harddrive. They're not that expensive anymore and store a lot more data. I use one of those (with GELI encryption) to store compressed filesystem dumps. A dump is the best way to save all the filesystem metadata. Most backup strategies can save user- and group-ids and permissions, but they can't cope well with flags, acls or links.

How to make Apache (2.2.4) less greedy, or Sendmail less polite?
Hi, Recently I upgraded my Apache 1.3.33 webserver to Apache 2.2.4, and ever since, I noticed that it is acting in such a way that it often is VERY greedy with my server's resources. Quite often, when running top, a list that is as the one that appears at the bottom of this e-mail is shown: indeed pretty much solely httpd instances, that for extended periods of time almost continously pull the CPU to close to 100%, and that also consume a lot of the memory resources... Strangely enough, at other times the CPU load is just slightly above 0%, say 0.4% or so... Apart from the fact that it doesn't feel right to see the CPU for substantial amounts of time, almost constantly close to 100%, there is a further issue, being that sendmail rejects connections when the server load is (too) high. This is very annoying, as e-mail is also a crucial part of the server's functionality, and I don't want sendmail to reject connections, each and every time that Apache goes berserk. Now, the machine in question, is an AMD-64 machine, and it runs the AMD-64 version of FreeBSD (5.4-release) with a custom kernel. Surely, Apache can be reconfigured such that it doesn't behave so selfishly, and leaves a decent amount of resources for other stuff (such as sendmail) on the machine too. What I'm basically trying to find out is: 1-Is this normal, or can this perhaps be some (brute force) hack attempt, where something is pounding Apache heavily, trying to find/ exploit some security risk? 2-How can I inspect exactly what each httpd instance is doing (i.e. which request it is serving)? 3-How to best configure Apache 2.2.4 such that it will never use more than a specific amount of the system's resources (e.g. a CPU usage limit of 75%, and a memory limit of say 1GB)? It would be my guess that the amount of MaxClients should be lowered, but is that sufficient (note: current httpd-mpm.conf settings apper at the end of this e-mail, and indicate an amount of 150), and will that not somehow (all too) negatively affect the way Apache handles requests? 4-How to perhaps tell sendmail to be a bit more selfish, and stop it from rejecting connections for extended periods of time? (note: we all know just how much fun it can be to configure Sendmail :P so for now I've only included (a shortened version of the) RX daemon config file, and hope someone can give me a good pointer for this - or tell me where else to look). 5-When sendmail rejects (incoming) connections, does mail actually get lost, or will it (always) be handled later, when the server is less occupied? Cheers, and tnx in advance!

I can't help you with Apache, but it's easy to tell sendmail to ignore system load and deliver mail no matter what: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/tweaking_config.html#confQUEUE_LA Change these lines in your .mc file: dnl define(`confDELAY_LA,8) dnl define(`confREFUSE_LA', 12) to define(`confQUEUE_LA', 999) define(`confDELAY_LA', 999) define(`confREFUSE_LA', 999) They are more useful on a system that's only handling email, so if someone starts sending evil attachments that chew up CPU time being virus or spam-scanned, the server will just start throttling mail delivery. If the load isn't being caused by mail delivery, it's better to bump it wayy up. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Quite often, when running top, a list that is as the one that appears at the bottom of this e-mail is shown: indeed pretty much solely httpd instances, that for extended periods of time almost continously pull the CPU to close to 100%, and that also consume a lot of the memory resources... Strangely enough, at other times the CPU load is just slightly above 0%, say 0.4% or so... Apart from the fact that it doesn't feel right to see the CPU for substantial amounts of time, almost constantly close to 100%, there is a further issue, being that sendmail rejects connections when the server load is (too) high. This is very annoying, as e-mail is also a crucial part of the server's functionality, and I don't want sendmail to reject connections, each and every time that Apache goes berserk. Is there any reason you are using Apache over another HTTP Daemon? Personally, I think Apache has gone down hill with regard to gluttony so I stopped using it a while ago. My preference is now Lighttpd. NB: Sorry about previous post. Outlook went crazy. - Russell DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.

Re: portupgrade forget package options
Just a follow up. The most sensible solution to me is, to append the option --batch to portupgrade in the cron job. Then in cron job portupgrade will not bug me any more.

Re: Easiest method to install a DVD writer
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a desktop Compaq computer running the latest stable version of FreeBSD. I want to install a DVD writer to use for backups (either internal or USB). Can someone recommend the easiest method to do this by? Is there a list of supported DVD writers for the latest stable version of FreeBSD? I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring it. I just want to install something I know will work, with minimal need for configuration. Also, will I need special software to do the actual writing? If so, what free software works well and is easy to use? Suggestions? Success stories? Thanks, Dave P.S. Please include this email address in the reply: [EMAIL PROTECTED], otherwise I won't see your response. I only think that you'd have problems with older drives or bleeding edge drives though. Look for drives that are compatible with Mac if possible. If so, you're golden. /me loves his Samsung drive, which happily burns CDs in FreeBSD and Linux with little issue (only stupid linux permissions problems from time to time, but that's PoS udev for you :(..). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: How to find HorizSync / VertRefresh rates?

It works in the sense that I get the correct dimensions, Then it is working. Your done, quit diddling with it. but I'm unsure as to whether I risk frying the card or screen You cannot fry either. An LCD panel has a computer that will take a specified range of vert and horz sync frequencies. As I already mentioned these sync frequencies are meaningless with an LCD, since the display chip merely converts them to what the LCDs in the panel actually need. It is more expensive to make a display chip that takes extremely high frequencies and since they aren't needed for LCD that is why the display chips in the panels do not accept as high frequencies as a really high quality crt will.
