strange behaviour with msdosfs longname option

2007-05-31 Thread Alexey Privalov

Hi all, 

have a little bit strange behaviour with msdosfs longname option..

have 1G flash card in my SE phone:

umass0: Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson K750, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 3
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: Sony Eri Memory Stick  Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device 
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 960MB (1966080 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 960C)


with 'longname' option everything works fine:

 ls -l /mnt/flash/MP3/Guitar\ Chill\ Out\ Dreams/
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  11922243 30 май 11:29 01-Siesta Del Sol.mp3
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  13770667 30 май 11:18 02-What The Memories Say.mp3 
skipped

config line in fstab:
/dev/da0s1 /mnt/flash msdosfs 
rw,noauto,noexec,nosuid,longname,-m=664,-M=775,-L=ru_RU.KOI8-R,-D=CP866,-W=koi2dos
 0 0


with 'longnames' option I have following:

 ls -l /mnt/flash/MP3/guitar~1/
total 170224
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  11922243 30 май 11:29 01-sie~1.mp3
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  13770667 30 май 11:18 02-wha~1.mp3

config line in fstab:
/dev/da0s1 /mnt/flash msdosfs 
rw,noauto,noexec,nosuid,longnames,-m=664,-M=775,-L=ru_RU.KOI8-R,-D=CP866,-W=koi2dos
 0 0



most interesting that this behaviour appears only with my flash card in phone.
everything is ok in both variants with my USB stick:

da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: JetFlash TS1GJFV30 8.07 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 968MB (1982464 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 968C)


yeah, in the end, this 'feature' have appeared only after last rebuilding and 
reinstalling kernel. Now I have:

 uname -a
ontario FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #13: Tue May 22 22:48:01 NOVST 2007


my previous kernel was:
 uname -a
ontario FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #12: Fri Feb 23 18:35:47 NOVT 2007 


PS: and don't say me that this is only because my kernel has #13 now... ))

Re: laser printer - which one?

freebsd Yes, we can know whether the program is I/O bound or CPU bound by
freebsd time(1). But it is still unclear which part of the program is really
freebsd waiting for I/O. So profiling is needed for tuning, although CPU time
freebsd profiling gives me non-distinct result on I/O bound programs.  It is
freebsd reason why I want wall-clock time profiling.
freebsd 
freebsd Wall clock time doesn't generally tell you anything reliably
freebsd useful on a multi-tasking system as it's very dependent on other
freebsd system activity.  I had many fights back in the mid '70s with
freebsd people in accounting who wanted to bill wall-clock time on
freebsd Burroughs main frames which generally had 20 programs in the mix
freebsd at any time (I guess they were accustomed to IBM 360s that
freebsd couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time :-).

Yes, I know UNIX was born as TSS in 1970. And today I occupy my FreeBSD
box. It is not necessary to share it with my colleagues.  Thanks to
Moore's Law and so many FreeBSD guys.

It is easy to prepare a dedicated machine for debugging purpose and
run a test program only.  Daemons are still running in background but
they are almost asleep (load averages: 0.00) so will not be critical
on wall-clock time profiling.

Wall-clock time profiling will be useful to know what routines/system
calls take time in complex code, especially I/O related routines.

Wierd postfix/cyrus SASL error...

2007-05-31 Thread Amarendra Godbole

Hi,

I use postfix as an smtp client to deliver email to our enterprise
smtp server. Since the smtp server needs authentication, I used cyrus
sasl with postfix and things worked fine. After a portupgrade, postfix
has stopped working, and gives some wierd authentication error.
Googling did not help much, and hence I am posting here. Relevant
details follow:

I used exactly the same configuration earlier, and postfix was happily

be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Building and installing a FreeBSD kernel is mostly a fool-proof process
- as long as you know what to edit in / out of the configuration file.
It is described in great depth in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

I don't know where you get your instructions from, but it looks like you
are trying to copy linux procedures. First study the handbook, then try.

libGLU fails to install

2007-05-31 Thread Ewald Jenisch

During upgrading one of my systems, involving upgrading xorg I ran
into a problem.

I started the upgrade as per /usr/ports/UPDATING with these commands
(after cvsuping, pkgdb -F, make fetchindex of course):

export XORG_UPGRADE=yes
portupgrade -Rf libXft
portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*'

During this last step the upgrade fails in trying to upgrade libGLU
(/usr/ports/graphics/libGLU) with the following message:

===  Installing for libGLU-6.5.3

as well as /usr/local/lib, so I wonder why the install fails


I've also tried make deinstall followed by make reinstall as well
as make distclean and re-building libGLU - to no extent.

Any ideas what could be wrong here?

The worst error message in history belongs to... BIND9!

2007-05-31 Thread Kyrre Nygård

Hello!

I've long wondered where this error message comes from:

hostname nor servname provided, or not known

So I grepped my FreeBSD source code and found out it actually belongs to BIND9.

It has to be the worst written error message in history.

Any chance you can change it? Perhaps to something like:

Address unknown, or not provided.

To avoid such mistakes in the future, I would recommend reading:

http://www.goodcopywriting.com

With that being said, thank you for such wonderful nameserver software!

Thank you,

When a package is built, it is always done *after* the port has been
installed into $PREFIX.  As far as I recall, packages don't get built
unless you explicitly ask for them, so the command you used to install
the program is what you need to look at for details.  Incidentally,
built packages get installed to /usr/ports/packages by default.

None of this is different from earlier versions, as far as I remember.

Download speed and TCPIP window sizing

2007-05-31 Thread Pang

Hello,
 Recently, I have leased a rack in Asianetcom and some bandwidth. 
However, the speed for my curcuit is substantially slower than my 
provider's company site. The provider said my circuit and their one are 
treated exactly the same way.

 Below is the URL for the download:
My circuit*: http://203.192.137.194/test.rar
ANC curcuit: 
http://www.asianetcom.com/pub/communications/AsiaNetcomNews_2006Q2.pdf
*This server is using FreeBSD 6.2 patch 4 with Apache in the port tree. 
The kernel is custom built but I haven't made any modification in sysctl


 I have asked many techs in Asianetcom and they blamed on TCPIP window 
sizing. I am not sure what it is, so I do a search in Google and find 
the following:

http://www.vad1.com/tcp-throughput-limit.html

 After reading the article above, I feel the situation is very similar. 
But, from my understanding, the download speed should be proportional to 
the ping speed. However, test done on Canada is much higher (about 3 
times higher) than in US while the ping is very similar.


 Could anyone tell me whether my understanding on Window sizing 
correct? Also, is there any way to alter the window sizing in freebsd or 
apache?


Thanks

   I have asked many techs in Asianetcom and they blamed on TCPIP window

I used to have the same problem with my FreeBSD dedicated servers in the U.S. 
when I was living in South America with a latency of ~200 ms. Given identical 
hardware and connectivity, I could max out my download speed when downloading 
from a server running Linux, but would get no more than 100-150 KB/s when 
downloading from an otherwise identical FreeBSD box.

The solution was to increase the size of the TCP send window on the FreeBSD 
server to about 128 KB--the default of 32 KB turned out to be way too small.

# sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072

After modifying this value, you need to restart any processes (e.g. Apache) 
that you want to take advantage of the change.

Hope it helps.

How can I redirect all traffic going to port 80 on the gw, to port 3128 on

I know this can be done with iptables but i don't want to use iptables on

   NFS is insecure (No File Security) since there is no authentication.
   You get access with the user id of your current user.
 
  I didn't want to touch the security problems with this as I assumed
that
the original poster knows about them. Just the same I'm assuming
that
  webserver:/etc/exports has a line like:
 
   /usr/local/www/data/mysite -maproot=nobody:nogroup 192.168.233.17
 
  which would tighten down the mount to just the one machine. As a
  developer, without even looking at security I think that direct access
  to the webroot tree is a bad idea. However I'm giving the original
  poster the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he's just trying to learn
HTML
  and PHP.
 
  [snip]
 
   One security measure is implemented though: root user on client is
   treated as nobody on the server. There is an option you can add to
the
   exports file (forgot which), to override this see the exports
manpage.
  
   Also if you have a different solution for updating the site..they
are
   welcome..
  
   Unless you have problems with diskspace, why not just use rsync? Do
it
   manually and you get time to correct blunders before they become
   public, or do it as a cronjob.
 
  rsync
  scp,
  dav,
  *** cvs ***
 
  When I work on a website I tend to start with the site directory in
cvs
  to protect me from the damage caused by fat fingers. I'm an old C
  programmer and CVS and Make are tools that I'm used to so I usually
add
  a really simple make file to the web tree...
 
  * Typical Makefile for web project *
  -- cut from here --
 
  update:
  cvs -PAd .
 
  MYWEBUSER = www
  MYHOST =webserver.example.com
  MYWEBROOT = /usr/local/www/data/webserver.example.com/
 
  publish:
  rsync -auv ./ $(MYWEBUSER)@$(MYHOST):$(MYWEBROOT)
 
  -- to here --
 
  Then running:
 
$ make update
 
  on the webserver from within the webtree will refresh the site from
the
  latest copy in CVS. In my opinion this is the best way because with a
  little CVS knowledge you can back out any mistakes. This is also nice
  since it only depends on the ability for both your development machine
  and webserver to be able to reach the cvs server. A final nicety is
that
  there are CVS clients for FreeBSD, Windows, and Mac OS X. On the
  downside you do have to setup a cvs server.
 
  Add a  little magic with ssh-keygen and the command:
 
$ make publish
 
  will push the current state of the web project, N.B. whatever it may
be,
  onto the webserver. This is a lower overhead way of publishing that
has
  the danger of no fallback position in case something is screwed up.
  Honestly I think that the publish tag is better used for testing than
  production but not every is willing to go to the overhead of using
  revision control (CVS, SVN, what have you) on this stuff.

Question about the difference of with and without SGID on directory

2007-05-31 Thread Patrick Dung
Hi

I found Free/Net/OpenBSD semantic is different from Linux/Solaris.

Suppose there is a directory called 'directory,
With owner www, and group www and permission 0777.

Then I touch a file:
$ touch file
$ ls -la
total 4
drwxrwxrwx  2 www   www512 May 31 17:14 .
drwxrwxrwt  8 root  wheel  512 May 31 17:14 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 patrick   www  0 May 31 17:14 file
^^^
The file created will have a group owner of the owner of the directory
not the creator.

So I have two questions here:
1. So is there a difference with SGID on directory?
2. Any idea about why it is different from SYSV (Linux/Solaris)?

Thanks
Patrick

cannot enable VESA_800x600 raster text mode

2007-05-31 Thread Zhang Weiwu

Dear list

I have been using raster text mode for years and I really like it. All I 
need to do is to put these options in kernel


options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE

For one box I have 'Rage 3D LT Pro AGP 133MHz (BGA-312 Package)' display, 
simply having these two options doesn't work (FreeBSD 6.1). 'vidcontrol -i 
mode' shows that graphical mode 800x600 is supported (at 8, 15, 16, 24 
color depth) but run 'vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600' I always got:


vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Operation not supported by device
vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Operation not supported by device

Note being able to find a clue I am starting to compile agp device into the 
kernel, hope it can solve the problem. Anyway please tell me if you knows 
the solution.


Thanks a lot in advance. I also attached here 'vidcontrol -i mode' output:

mode# flags   typesize   font  window  linear 
buffer

But maybe you can use vidcontrol MODE_261
Besides the ATI problem I can't use the SC_PIXEL_MODE any more in -current. I

  I have asked many techs in Asianetcom and they blamed on TCPIP window

I used to have the same problem with my FreeBSD dedicated servers in the U.S. 
when I was living in South America with a latency of ~200 ms. Given identical 
hardware and connectivity, I could max out my download speed when downloading 
from a server running Linux, but would get no more than 100-150 KB/s when 
downloading from an otherwise identical FreeBSD box.

The solution was to increase the size of the TCP send window on the FreeBSD 
server to about 128 KB--the default of 32 KB turned out to be way too small.

# sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072

After modifying this value, you need to restart any processes (e.g. Apache) 
that you want to take advantage of the change.
  


It doesn't work. I am still getting ~10KB/s speed.



Hope it helps.

No.  BSDish behaviour of a directory with either mode drwxr-xr-x
or drwxr-sr-x is essentially identical to SysV/Linux-ish behaviour
with a directory mode drwxr-sr-x

 2. Any idea about why it is different from SYSV (Linux/Solaris)?

It's historic.  BSD has always worked that way and SysV has begged
to differ.

  It has to be the worst written error message in history.

 Not even close.  I commend to you the Amiga's BSOD:

   Software Guru

very long string of hex digits
   
   That's not entirely fair. IIRC that was originally intended only
   for developer use, but after CBM got their hands on the Amiga,
   they cut corners and it just got left in
 
   Some of the old I.B.M. abend messages were also ... intersting.

I always liked one of the messages from an old version of the VMS (4 or 5?)
C compiler(may not be exactly it, but this was included):

 When a package is built, it is always done *after* the port has been
 installed into $PREFIX.  As far as I recall, packages don't get built
 unless you explicitly ask for them, so the command you used to install
 the program is what you need to look at for details.

I think pkg_create is used to register the package in /var/db/pkg even
when no package file is created.

 The latest mention of perl in UPDATING is from February last year.

It still does for the reason you say.  I guess something deleted it on

Re: enable fetchmail system-wide mode

2007-05-31 Thread Simon Barner
Hello Bob,

 I want to run fetchmail enabled for system wide mode.
 The command line cmd fetchmail -q issued from user root gets meaningless
 error msg.

The error message may be meaningless to you, but without it cannot help
you here.

 Reviewing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail has comments talking about system
 wide mode running under user fetchmail.
 How does the system admin control fetchmail when user fetchmail needs
 password to logon and no where is password given during install.

In daemon mode, the password is supposed to be stored in the config file.
Fetchmail also supports more advanced authentication mechanisms like
Kerberos, but I do not have any experience with it, and without support from
the mail server it seems useless.
 
 Also /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc which is suppose to be the config file is
 empty. Even fetchmailrc.sample is empty.

Fetchmail supports literally dozends of configurations. IMO the port must
try and duplicate fetchmail's documentation.

You can use the fetchmailconf program to create and manage fetchmail
configurations (must not build WITHOUT_X11 then).

 
 The port pkg-message file is absent so there is no information describing
 how to configure fetchmail in system-wide mode or individual user mode.
 These are unique run modes to freebsd and are not covered in the fetchmail
 manual. The port pkg-message file should be created with instructions about
 how to configure it.

Users are supposed to read the 'fetchmail' rc script (this convention is
also used by other ports). You are right in that a short pkg-message that
contains a pointer to that file is usefull for novice fetchmail users on
FreeBSD. 

Did you have a look at the /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc file? Do you have
suggestions how to improve the documentation provided at the beginning of
that file?

Please update your ports tree and rebuild the port -- I will commit
some small improvements now.

 
 Before in 4.11 through 5.4 I started fetchmail using
 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh and /root/,fetchmailrc and had root admin
 control of fetchmail. How do I achieve admin control now that fetchmail has
 been converted to use rc.conf fetchmail_enable=YES to start at boot time?

Simply copy your previous fetchmail config file (presumably /root/.fetchmailrc)
to /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc), put fetchmail_enable=YES into /etc/rc.conf
and issue /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail start.

Btw.: Are you sure that you really need one system wide daemon? In my 
experience,
a per-user daemon makes things a lot easier for the administrator since users
can update their email configuration on their own.

If you still have problems, please give me as much detail as you can.

deleting old mails

2007-05-31 Thread Thierry Lacoste
I'm running a postfix server on FreeBSD 6.1 and I'd like to have
a cronjob which deletes old mails from mboxes in /var/mail.

I tried mail/archivemail but it cannot create it's lock file
in /var/mail because it runs as the user owning the mailbox
on which it operates.

I also tried mail/archmbox but I'm wondering if it is safe
to use it while postfix is running. Quoting the manual:

   A few words about locking. There has been a discussion  about  archmbox
   handles  file locking. The answer is simple: no mailbox is ever locked.
   The reason behind this behavior is that I want archmbox to be as  least
   invasive  as  possible, so other kind of checks are performed to ensure
   that no data is lost (mailbox has changed/mailbox is in use by  another
   program). I will surely add some locking mechanism in the future.

Any help would be appreciated.

Help with Bind config syntax for reverse DNS on subnet

Hi, was hoping someone could help me with the correct syntax in my named.conf 
for reverse DNS on a small subnet.

Say I have 10.0.0.0/27, such that actual addresses are 10.0.0.0 through 
10.0.0.31  -- If I add a zone like:
zone 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa {
   type master;
   file master/0.0.10.in-addr.arpa;  };

...I can define addresses for my little block, but reverse lookups on the rest 
of 10.0.0.x seem to fail.  What's the correct way to configure Bind for this?

Customizing installation/distribution.

2007-05-31 Thread Manders, Christopher
G'day,

I need to be able to distribute an FTP version of FreeBSD with some minor 
changes...

We have a standard set of customizations that we need to be able to dist out in 
cookie-cutter style to our production systems, and include:
- Custom /etc/motd
- Custom /etc/pf.conf
- Custom /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Custom /etc/ttys
- Custom /boot/loader.conf (e.g. beastie_disable=YES)
- Remove 'toor' account
- Remove *GCC* from base, so no-one can compile anything. 

I have a FreeSBIE CD that I have set up to:
1) Boot a Live FreeBSD system, replete with PERL and a few other pkgs to allow 
(2) to work.
2) A PERL script that asks the boot user some info 
(IP/netmask/gw/FTP-install-server/hostname).
3) A modified sysinstall that asks for no input if the config file from the 
previos step is found, and reaches out to our FTP server.

I am finding that the source is checked out from ncvs each time, so all changes 
are not saved when I cd /usr/src/release  make release. I have specified the 
following with the 'make release': 
 
ROOTDIR=/data/release
BUILDNAME=6.2.mybuild
NODOC=YES 
NOPORT=YES 
CVSROOT=/data/ncvs 
RELEASE=RELENG_6_2

Any clues as to how I can assure that my changes are included? 

Note: As far as PKGs go, that I have figured out for additional ports/PKGs to 
add onto the BASE. It is the BASE distribution that is giving me a headache.

Pointers and suggestions welcome.


TIA!

single
   page.  The output is again a postscript file, maybe containing
multiple
   pages together building the poster.  The output pages bear
cutmarks and
   have slightly overlapping images for easier assembling.  The
input pic-
   ture will be scaled to obtain the desired size.

You are missing any way to allow slaves to read the maps, so you might do 
something like:

zone 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa {
   type master;
   file master/0.0.10.in-addr.arpa;
   allow-transfer ( 10.0.0.2; and any other nameserver IP's; );
};

Then in your file:
0.0.10.in-addr.arpa list your addresses even if some are DHCP.
1 IN PTR router.domain.name.
2 IN PTR ns.domain.name.
3 IN PTR DHCP-10-0-0-3.domain.name.

 I read the handbook entry on the NTP daemon which automatically syncs
the

 I set NTPd to update using NTP.org's pool servers. Yet it isn't syncing.
I
 setup NTPd last night. I checked about 20 minutes ago and the time was
off
 by 2 hours. I shutdown ntpd and ran ntpdate manually, and it updated
just
 fine.

 My logs have only this:
 /var/log/messages:May 30 23:04:19 Jupiter ntpd[489]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Mon
May 28
 23:49:40 EDT 2007 (1)

 The first two came up as soon as I started NTPd. The third one was when
I
 stopped it. I rebuild world without IPv6 support. I tried adding the -4
flag
 to ntpd_flags in /etc/rc.conf as it says in the man page, but NTPd
reports
 that -4 doesn't exist.

 While NTPd is running, I ran ntpq -np to display the peers. It did
output
 the four servers from pool.ntp.org, so it's connecting fine.

 My /etc/rc.conf contains:
 ntpd_enable=YES
 ntpd_sync_on_start=YES
 ntpd_flags=-p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift -g

 Anyone know how I can fix this? Or should I just go back to running
ntpdate
 with cron?

http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/KnownOsIssues

NTP was not designed to run inside of a virtual machine. It requires a
high resolution system clock, with response times to clock interrupts that
are serviced with a high level of accuracy. No known virtual machine is
capable of meeting these
requirements.

Run NTP on the base OS of the machine, and then have your various guest
OSes take advantage of the good clock that is created on the system. Even
that may not be enough, as there may be additional tools or kernel options
that you need to enable so that
virtual machine clients can adequately synchronize their virtual clocks to
the physical system clock. 



Ah, that would do it. I guess I'm back to running ntpdate in cron. Thanks!

Re: what is pkg_create doing?

No, by default, portupgrade runs pkg_create *before* installing the

Packages are only built *after* installation if one explicitly tells
portupgrade to do so, via the -p or --package switches.

This is consistent with what I am observing, as the command output  
claims the package is installed, I then see a delay (minutes? on a  
dual core 2.4GHz system?) while pkg_create runs, and then cleanup  
happens.
The man page lists several package-related ENVIRONMENT variables,  
which

may or may not provide a means to disable some or all of this package
creation; I don't know for sure, as I've never tried changing or
unsetting them to see what may happen.  If you're curious, though, it
may be worth experimenting with, although I would certainly advise
against disabling the precautionary backup package creation before the
new port is successfully installed.


Thanks. I'll take a look there. I wasn't sure if something changes in  
how ports are done in the Moderne Age.

http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/KnownOsIssues

NTP was not designed to run inside of a virtual machine. It requires a high 
resolution system clock, with response times to clock interrupts that are 
serviced with a high level of accuracy. No known virtual machine is capable of 
meeting these
requirements.

Run NTP on the base OS of the machine, and then have your various guest OSes 
take advantage of the good clock that is created on the system. Even that may 
not be enough, as there may be additional tools or kernel options that you need 
to enable so that
virtual machine clients can adequately synchronize their virtual clocks to the 
physical system clock.

How can I redirect all traffic going to port 80 on the gw, to port 3128 on

I know this can be done with iptables but i don't want to use iptables on

Hi Spiros,

You can try the following commands:


/sbin/ipfw add fwd 127.0.0.1,3128 tcp from any to any 80 in
/sbin/ipfw add allow tcp  from 192.168.0.0/24 to any  3128 in via fxp0

  Whatever would be printed in a large typescript could be glued

  Gettysburg address.  I need to know if openoffice has

  Whenever I try to write something in a large font on 
  a letter

  OpenOffice isn't the right application, is there any other?
  (I'm copying the -questions FreeBSD list in case they have a

  thanks for any tips/howto/or other apps!

I have asked many techs in Asianetcom and they blamed on TCPIP window
  sizing.
  
 
  I used to have the same problem with my FreeBSD dedicated servers in the 
  U.S. when I was living in South America with a latency of ~200 ms. Given 
  identical hardware and connectivity, I could max out my download speed when 
  downloading from a server running Linux, but would get no more than 100-150 
  KB/s when downloading from an otherwise identical FreeBSD box.
 
  The solution was to increase the size of the TCP send window on the FreeBSD 
  server to about 128 KB--the default of 32 KB turned out to be way too small.
 
  # sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072
 
  After modifying this value, you need to restart any processes (e.g. Apache) 
  that you want to take advantage of the change.

 
 It doesn't work. I am still getting ~10KB/s speed.
 

hmm in some FBSD (6.0-STABLE) that we have in NL i have that set to 64K . From
AU (where I live), 320 ms of ping away, i can almost saturate my meagre DSL
link (got up to 2mpbs). 

There can be several things involved in bad download speeds - from the TCP
stack of the OS , the software you use to serve (I'm assuming Apache is
configured out of the box - it's not great, but should be better than this.),
NIC in the server, the network segment where it's located (in the DC,
upstream,etc), bandwidth limiting upstream or in apache itself,etc...

.I tested that download of yours from different parts of the world, it was
pretty bad from everywhere - I've captured the traffic from each download:

http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/test_hk_dl/fbsd_hk_test_from_au.cap
From AU , between 204 and 206 ms ping.

http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/test_hk_dl/fbsd_hk_from_NL.cap
Your file in HK downloaded from NL - ping time to HK = 329 ms

http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/test_hk_dl/fbsd_hk_from_txusa.cap
Your file in HK, downloaded from a linux server (RHES 3) in TX, USA. ping time
avg 227.

http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/test_hk_dl/fbsd_NL_test_from_au.cap
the same file, which I uploaded to a FBSD in NL (as mentioned above). Ping time
is about 320 ms to this box from home. Probably as fast as I'd expect it to be.
I know I can transfer about up of 8 Mbps between the USA and NL hosts, so
that test is not going to prove anything more.

I haven't got time right now to review all the captures, but at first sight it
seems there's more packet loss than you'd expect, duped ACKs,etc. The IO , RTT
and throughpouts graphs (i'm using wireshark) definitely show very poor
performance, though.

I dont see any relation betwen ping times and download speed.

BTW, how fast can you download this file from the server you say it's in the
same network segment ? 

Have you got polling enabled?

what hardware / nic ?

looks good :)

 buildworld seems to have sorted these. I have installed Xorg 7.2, but I cant 
 seem to check whether DRI is enabled/working. 

What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log tell you about it?

 the glxinfo command no longer works

glxinfo is not there at all anymore.

 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ glxinfo
 -bash: glxinfo: command not found
 
 i did a bit of googling, apparently some changes have been made with the 
 packages/applications included with Xorg 7.2, is glxinfo not working because 
 its been replaced with another command? or am i missing a package?

it's in the archives of the list - you need to install the mesa-demos port.

Re: startup / shutdown script (rc.d)

2007-05-31 Thread gmoniey

Hi Noberto,

I actually looked at the apache one, and it seemed so complicated, there
were 2 files for it, one of which was relatively short and the other was
significantly long.

Now dont get me wrong, they aren't beyond comprehension, but i simply dont
have the time right now to figure them out.

I dont quite see how something as simple as apachectl start is expanded
into so many lines.

maybe i will get some time in the near future to understand it...

 the easiest way (for me) is to grab the rc script of anything that you

 well (for example, apache) and modify it for your needs. anyway, at least
 you
 can learn from the one that is already made, without having to start from

X actually starts ok. Just don't know if DRI is enabled cos of the glxinfo 
issue.
I haven't installed gnome or kde yet. I wanted to get DRI sorted out before I 
start.

 it's in the archives of the list - you need to install the mesa-demos
 port.

in /usr/ports?

Thanks again

Re: OT: Re: The worst error message in history belongs to... BIND9!

2007-05-31 Thread perryh
  Favourite worst written error message in history:
  
  Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue. 

 I have always loved this one!! Who made that up!?

Someone at IBM.  That's what the original IBM PC, PC-AT, and
(presumably) PC-XT displayed if the keyboard was dead or not
plugged in.

It was probably a case of modular code:  any problem in POST would
display a message and return a fail status, and the generic code
would append Press F1 to continue. and wait.  Not a bad idea at
all -- certainly better than blindly trying to boot the machine
without giving the operator a chance to decide what to do about
the problem -- but this particular combination does have a chicken-
egg aspect :(

Installed it.

But thats because I am ssh'd into the box from work, I dare say it will work 
when I get home and test from within X.
You are a champion :-) Thank you!
