If you notice, your ipv4 statistics show 414Mb in ang 2.5 Gb out, with roughly a 1:1 ratio of input and output packets. This would seem logical, since http is a request:response protocol. Remember that IP is a network layer protocol, which is mainly facilitated by the ethernet data link layer protocol, but ethernet is not simply relegated to servicing IP communications, many other services and protocols use ethernet. For instance, many blade/rack systems these days use some sort of network console over ethernet, which I would assume generates far less input bytes than output bytes on the machines. This is just one example, there's far more things that use ethernet than I can be aware of. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some trial and error and further research are probably required. Play with startx vs xdm, see what happens when you press ctrl-alt-f1, etc. I'm assuming you'll want to use Xinerama to join the two X displays and allow window-dragging between them, etc. If you don't get acceptable results using your original plan, you can always hack together your own console to run on the weakest display under X (using the vesa driver if necessary).

You could make one or more scripts to run things on your bad screen by doing something like this: #!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:0.1#might also be :0.2 or :0.0 export DISPLAY xterm -r -geometry 120x60 /usr/bin/top Experiment with the geometry settings to see what fills your screen appropriately.

I wouldn't need to have keyboard/mouse control on the 'default' console then, I'd just look at it to see which process is eating the machine, load averages, etc. Thanks for the ideas so far guys. -- Jim Capozzoli D6499626857801B6065013E3645A6B75 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Give us a dmesg output of your card `dmesg | grep ath`. But from what
you've given it says your card is based off the AR5212 chip, which the
ath man page says should be supported.
What I'd do to try it is find an unencrypted wifi network, and then
try connecting to that. do a `dhclient ath0` around an unencrypted
wifi network with dhcp on it, and if you can connect, I guess your
card is supported. :D
hope this helps
ps, a better subject line would have been 'ath Conceptronic c54ru

Re: startup / shutdown script (rc.d)
Hi,
so i tried the script you mentioned, and it doesnt seem as if it is being
called on startup. Here is my script (rails.sh):
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
kldload accf_http
mongrel_rails cluster::start -C
/usr/local/www/app/config/mongrel_cluster.yml
/usr/local/www/app/script/backgroundrb start
;;
stop)
mongrel_rails cluster::stop -C
/usr/local/www/app/config/mongrel_cluster.yml
/usr/local/www/app/script/backgroundrb stop
;;
*)
echo Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop} 2
exit 64
;;
esac
Also, I double checked that the permissions were correct (I made it the same
as the other scripts in the rc.d directory). Here is the directory listing:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 179 Jun 3 17:26 000.apache2libs.sh
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 181 May 2 02:19 000.mysql-client.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3524 Jun 3 12:07 apache2.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1689 May 2 02:30 mysql-server.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 651 Jan 15 19:31 proftpd.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 445 Jun 3 17:26 rails.sh
While looking through the other files in the rc.d directory, I noticed that
000.apache2libs.sh has the similar structure as the file you suggested, so I
attempted to put my commands in there, but it seems as if they are not being
called either (i.e. after reboot, when i do a ps aux, i dont see the
commands i expect to be started)...
I also tried adding rails_enable = YES in the rc.conf file, and that
didn't work (although I didn't expect it to work, as I didn't assign a name
in my script).
any ideas?

They could be meaningful, but are probably not needed in a simple
routine like you seem to want.
The basic scheme is that the system calls the scripts in rc.d
one at a time. During startup it calls them with an argument
of 'start' and when it is shutting down, it calls them with
an argument of 'stop'. So, all you script has to do is look
for a first argument (past the script name) and check for start
or stop and possibly error if it is anything else.
Presuming you have one routine to run at startup
called /usr/local/bin/mystartuproutine
and one routine to run at shutdown
called /usr/local/bin/myshutdownroutine
and these two files have execute permission,
then something as simple as this would work.
Put this little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ with
a name something like mystuff.sh and give it execute permission.
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
/usr/local/bin/mystartuproutine
;;
stop)
/usr/local/bin/myshutdownroutine
;;

You might want to add some other checks and conditions such
as checking if those files exist and some niceties such as
making variables of your routine names later.

It all depends on the severity of the situation. Next boot may fix your problem or it may not. It is a good idea to do it in single user mode but if you don't have console/physical access to the box then maybe this could help you: fsck_y_enable=YES Just add that into the /etc/rc.conf, reboot and wait awhile.

try making it write to a file at the beginning and end of

Something like:

Maybe your script is crashing for some other reason.

New != Faster
In the course of trying to work through some problems with a new MOBO, I did some speed test which I found sort of surprising: Old System -- Dual PIII 600Mhz w/768K Mem and Mylex RAID 5 with old 9G SCSI drived FBSD 4.11-Stable Writing a 1G file to /dev/null with dd reports about 26MB/sec New System -- Pentium D 3.2GHz w/2G Mem and SATA Drive reported running at SATA-150 FBSD 6.2-STABLE Writing a 2G file to /dev/null with dd reports about 50MB/sec So ... the new system should be much faster all the way around, right? H, not necessarily so. 'buildworld' is only about 17% faster on the new machine v. the old. I would think that with way faster processors and twice the disk bandwidth I would have seen far reduced buildworld times. So, I decided to check a known fast machine. The results: Procs Mem dd ReadOSbuildworld Old 2 PIII @600Mhz 768K26M/sec4.11-stable/SMP50-60 min New Pent D (2 core)@3.2GHz 2G 50M/sec6.2-stable/SMP 40-50 min Fast 2 Xeon @3GHz 3G130M/sec4.11-stable/SMP8 min So, now I'm confused. These are all lightly loaded systems but the buildworld time does not scale even approximately by either CPU or I/O performance. What the heck is going on, I wonder? It is possible, I suppose that the New machine does not have SMP running properly on it, though 'top' shows two CPUs working away. Is the difference in speed attributable to 4.11 being faster than 6.2? Unfortunately, I cannot get 4.11 to boot on the New machine - it does not like the hardware for some reason claiming: RTC BIOS diagnostic error 80clock battery Even after I change the RTC battery on the mobo.

H, not necessarily so. 'buildworld' is only about 17% faster on the new machine v. the old. I would think that with way faster processors and twice the disk bandwidth I would have seen far reduced buildworld times. So, I decided to check a known fast machine. The results: Procs Mem dd ReadOS buildworld Old 2 PIII @600Mhz 768K26M/sec4.11-stable/SMP50-60 min New Pent D (2 core)@3.2GHz 2G 50M/sec6.2-stable/SMP 40-50 min Fast 2 Xeon @3GHz 3G130M/sec4.11-stable/SMP8 min So, now I'm confused. These are all lightly loaded systems but the buildworld time does not scale even approximately by either CPU or I/O performance. What the heck is going on, I wonder? It is possible, I suppose that the New machine does not have SMP running properly on it, though 'top' shows two CPUs working away. Is the difference in speed attributable to 4.11 being faster than 6.2? Unfortunately, I cannot get 4.11 to boot on the New machine - it does not like the hardware for some reason claiming: RTC BIOS diagnostic error 80clock battery Even after I change the RTC battery on the mobo. Strange ... any input appreciated. This comparison is 100% bogus. 4.11 and 6.2 are vastly different (the latter builds all sorts of different code, and uses a *different compiler* that is slower in compiling the code). When trying to compare something, you have to compare the *same* thing, or it's meaningless.

It occured after 105 days of uninterrupted work. The freeze was unrecoverable because even though I attached a screen to the machine, I was not able to do anything with it. I had to hard-reboot it. dmesg.today has just one line (and dmesg.yestarday is empty). pid 25536 (portmanager), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) This file was modified at night so it does not contain any useful information. Where can I look for more information? The only thing that comes to my mind is that today I installed denyhosts-2.6. It is possible that the freeze occured during dump operation which is done to a network drive mounted via mount_nfs option. Could the dump operation (a very likely reason for the crash) freeze the system. I am thinking of the following scenario. The dump operation to a network share is underway. For some reason, the LAN network connection is unavailable for a short time. Dump freezes and never recovers as it cannot continue its operation. I went back to the box two hours after the dump operation had started but the box (FBSD machine) did not respond to physically connected keyboard and screen. The dump file on the network is shown to have 0 KB. Thanks for any info! If it thinks it ran out of media space (maybe doe to some network error, I don't know), it could be waiting for a response at the console or whatever terminal it was running from. It will hang there until it gets some input it knows how to handle. In that case I will probably be much better of using another HD physically connected to the box rather than shared network drive, wouldn't I? Lack of free space could not have been the reason - the network share can handle about 750GB of data so it must have been temporary network error. No guarantee that is what is happening, but it seems like it could be a possibility - at least one to eliminate. jerry Thanks Jerry!

I was wondering if it would be possible to have X11 running on two of the monitors, and then have a full screen console (like a ttyv0) on the third monitor (so I could constantly leave top or something sweet running on there :D). This is all with FreeBSD 6.2/i386 and Xorg 6.9 or 7.2. Any suggestions? Thanks. It should do do-able, perhaps somewhat easily. /usr/ports/x11-servers/x2x is what comes to mind --- IIRC, Greg groggy Lehey of The Complete FreeBSD fame uses this for several displays, and has notes on his setup in her personal pages at www.lemis.com. That link is here: http://www.lemis.com/grog/hardware.html However, I'm not sure x2x is relevant to the OP--It can be used to allow one mouse and keyboard to be used on multiple X servers, but doesn't have anything to do with console mode. I don't know if the setup the OP wants is possible or not, but here are some notes: The FreeBSD console always runs on the primary display as determined by the BIOS. Most systems give you a choice between using AGP or PCI as the primary display. If you have multiple PCI cards it is usually the first one on the bus (physically this is often the one closest to the CPU). Not sure how ISA figures in. You will want to make your bad videocard and monitor the primary display. Once you have that, I'd just run an Xorg -configure to get started. If X comes up at all using the config generated from that then it will be a good starting point. Try commenting out the device and screen sections (and possibly also a line under ServerLayout) for your bad display and see if X comes up on the other two. By default it expects to be running on the console so I'm not sure what will happen here. You also want it to grab the keyboard and mouse unless you have a second keyboard. Some trial and error and further research are probably required. Play with startx vs xdm, see what happens when you press ctrl-alt-f1, etc. I'm assuming you'll want to use Xinerama to join the two X displays and allow window-dragging between them, etc. If you don't get acceptable results using your original plan, you can always hack together your own console to run on the weakest display under X (using the vesa driver if necessary). If possible (not sure it is), don't make it part of your Xinerama display. Then don't run a window manager on it. Use xsetroot as part of your X init script to control what's on the background. This will apply to your entire display but the WM will probably take over once it starts on the good screens. You could make one or more scripts to run things on your bad screen by doing something like this: #!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:0.1#might also be :0.2 or :0.0 export DISPLAY xterm -r -geometry 120x60 /usr/bin/top Experiment with the geometry settings to see what fills your screen appropriately. You might also want to get a nice bitmap font to give the xterm more of a terminal feel. I have one I stole from bochs or somewhere that's not bad (I use it for Nethack). E-mail me off-list if you want it. That should just about do it. Do write back to the list to tell us what you learn and what works the best. JN I like the not making it a part of the Xinerama display..that would be interesting, because I'm sure a very basic X11 background with a xterm would work on there. If X starts on there, then yeah great but the problem is I don't ever recall getting it to work properly. If the card functions at all then I'm sure you could get the vesa driver running at 800x600x8 at least.. What I had in mind however, is say having the weak monitor/card as the 'default' display that the BIOS picks up, and then leaving a console on there BUT having X11 on the two other monitors. Then I'd run top on it or something, so Id have a command like... $ startxfce4 top -s 1 And then on the 'default' BIOS chosen display, you would see top running in console mode, and then pretty xfce with nice 1280x1024 ver monitor resolution on the other two (using Xinerama). I wouldn't need to have keyboard/mouse control on the 'default' console then, I'd just look at it to see which process is eating the machine, load averages, etc. My suggestion for running the weak display under X was conditional on not getting results you liked with your original idea.

Well, did it run the fsck? Those messages look pretty routine and should be handled by the regular fsck done on a normal boot. Usually the regular fsck will run and clean up most simple stuff. Try rebooting the machine again and see if it still has the same messages. If so, then see if they will do the single-user fsck for you. But, I am guessing that it actually already cleaned up for you.

My question is, can i use portmsanager for change to the new version of Xorg?. Thanks very much, in advance. I used the prescribed method in the 'UPDATING' file when I first attempted to update to Xorg-7.2 on my system. There is this notation in the 'UPDATING' file: If your machine does NOT have any gstreamer ports installed, you can then run: # portupgrade -a However, if you DO have gstreamer ports installed, you must run: # portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*' Followed by: # portupgrade -Rr 'gstreamer*' Well, I do have it installed, so I followed the directions exactly. When it completed, the log file that was created showed that 'gstreamer' totally failed to update. I ran the script indicated in the 'UPDATING' file as well as deleting the 'man' pages as specified. I then simply reboot to insure that everything would start correctly. I then used portsnap to update the ports tree and finally used portmanager as thus: portmanager -u -p -l That updated over 400 ports (took awhile) but after that everything works fine. I guess I would recommend using the 'portupgrade' method as shown in the 'UPDATING' file; however, after going that route, you might want to run portmanager to insure that all of the ports were actually updated correctly.

Hello, I have a quick question regarding disabling the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keystroke sequence used to reboot a system. I understand that you are able to add the following option to the kernel config file and rebuild the kernel: options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT What I'd like to confirm is whether or not using a keymap file and changing the boot entries to nop, and then loading it on each boot through /etc/rc.conf (KEYMAP = /usr/share/syscons/keymap/keymap.kbd) is a viable, secure alternative for disabling the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keystroke sequence. I know it was commonly used with older FreeBSD releases, but I'm not sure whether it is recommended with newer releases. Please advise.

As FreeBSD boots up, this interface does not yet exist when pf is loaded. As soon as ppp is loaded and interface tun0 has been created, pf will happily load your ruleset. The solution is to either have pf rules loaded late (later than ppp is started) or use anchors and load ext rules into the anchor when the ppp interface is up. The easier is to have the rules loading late (check using rcorder) but this may also fail if something goes wrong with ppp. HTH Volker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to solve mysterious system lockups?
Hello I have several systems that are used as squid caching servers. I have some systems that use SCSI disks and some that use SATA disks. They are identical in everyway except for the sata vs SCSI drives. At random times, the sata based systems seem to be freezing. You can ping them and they respond, but you cannot log in. Nor are any logs processed during that time. I figure it mist be something to do with the disks, but I am not sure how to solve it. There seems to be little rhyme or reason. It does not happen necessarily during busy times. It can happen in the middle of the night. Any pointers in how to track down the cause would be much appreciated.

Hi Anton,
are you upgrading xorg or installing xorg for the first time in this machine?
you have to follow the steps in /usr/ports/UPDATING, even if not upgrading.
