Hello, If sudo to root does not give the same privs as su to root, I'd guess sudo is either buggy or not configured properly. Not sure what to say. I had the same situation on two machines. It is possible that my sudo is not configured properly but yet in a year's time of living in UNIX world it is first time I reverted to su. Increased privelages of sudo were always enough.

LAN failover redundandcy?
Hi, I'm looking for a way to configure failover redundancy for one of my servers. To be specific: The server in question has one IP-address but two LAN interfaces each of them connecting to a different switch. Traffic normally runs only through one of the two interfaces; the other is for redundandy only. In case the active LAN-interface goes down (e.g. because of a link and/or switch failure) the second LAN-interface should take over in the sense that traffic should run through the second interface (again the server has only one IP-address, so binding a different IP-address to the interface is not an option here) Is there any way how this can be configured under FreeBSD 6.2?

Two interfaces, two IPs, nearly twice the speed?
Hi list BACKGROUND: I have two ppp interfaces tun0 and tun1 configured. Each of them has an IP address in the same range, like 10.0.0.1 for the first and 10.0.0.2 for the second (They are really dynamic public IPs...). Now, what I would like to do is get it so that they get mixed together. QUESTION: Is it possible to get PF to somehow round-robin the connections? Lets say Joe connects to the internet and starts downloading a file, it will use up Connection 1. Now Peter connects, PF knows that connection 1 is used, and makes Peter's request go through Connection 2. Kinda like a Dual-Internet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unless an issue is exceptionally urgent, it usually takes us about a week to confirm that we're affected, to get a patch from upstream or create our own, to make sure the patch fixes the issue and doesn't create any new problems (there have been several issues lately where the upstream patches were broken), to confirm that the patch applies cleanly to all of our supported branches, and to write our advisory. Usually the FreeBSD Security Team hears about issues in major contrib code (e.g., sendmail, bind, openssl, openssh) ahead of time and is able to prepare before the issues become public, but this time we didn't get any advance warning.

By alot i mean it took our quad core xeon 3 ghz with 4 gbyte memory and 4 SAS drives in 1+0 RAID, about a day and a half to process (on disk). Simple tests (by others) using netbsd on a single cpu 3 ghz and tmpfs, it took roughly 70 minutes. Most of which was spent loading and unloading the data over the network. I'd really like that memory back after use for other things as this server is also serving databases with files etc. I love FreeBSD enough to have run my personal webserver on FreeBSD-Sparc64 but I don't understand here.

If you want the latest code for 6-stable, which will eventually become 6.3-RELEASE, use just RELENG_6. Thank you. I wasn't clear in my original message. I meant to talk about RELENG_6_2 which is what I meant when I said 6.2 Release with patches. But I fully acknowledge that while I've used RCS for ages, I still don't fully grok branches and trunks (or HEADs in CVS), so I do state things badly and can always use the reminder of how things work. I had a feeling that was what you meant, but I wanted to be sure it was clear for other readers, and for the archives. Anyway, I was disappointed that the BIND fix didn't make it into RELENG_6_2. I can't speak for the security team, but I'm pretty sure that this change is forthcoming. When it comes to BIND stuff in particular, I always update the ports first, so anyone with a mission critical DNS operation can get fixes ASAP. There is even an option in the port to overwrite the base BIND if you so desire. Ah-ha. That makes a big difference. OK. If I'm going to expose my name server to the big bad world while tracking RELENG_N_M (release with patches) I'll use bind from ports. In addition to security issues, the ports give you a greater degree of flexibility in how BIND is configured. If you're going to be offering a public name server (and by that I hope you mean authoritative, not recursive) on 6-stable you're probably better off using 9.4.x anyway, with the threading option disabled. If you're going to be doing a high-capacity authoritative server (or a high load resolver for an internal network) your BEST bet is to evaluate FreeBSD 7 (soon to be release) and BIND 9.4.x with threading _enabled_. You'll get better performance by far in a high load situation. Are there other things in /usr/src/contrib that follow this pattern? Sure, lots. Too many for me to list without having to think hard about it and potentially leave something out. hth, Yes, it helps a great deal.

I could not find such a similar option on BIOS, so I dont know how to check it. Is it possible to be checked from system? Just to let everyone know, for me this AHCI thing made the whole difference. On BIOS there were some options to be combined with AHCI, and doing the right combination made the disk get controlled as SATA300.

failover+balancing options
Hello, I have a problem and could not find a solution yet. I would like to hear you opinion. I have 2 machines, machine A and machine B. They are mail servers serving with Maildir. I need to find out a solution where I can do balancing between server A and B while in production, and, if one of the nodes get down, only the other one will do the work of both. The main problem I find is a solution regarding the information (data stored). Right now I have it running with NFS on a third machine, machine C for example. I know machine C is a SPOF but it is acceptable. The big problem is performance. NFS is going away on huge load. I did ggate0+local disc RAID 1 with gmirror. Sincronization on writing works perfectly but I can not mount the same disk locally while exporting it via ggated. Why cant I mount it? Anyone knows? If I could, eliminating the SPOF would be very easy. Performance would be great too because ggated performance is way better than NFS on this kind of operations, specially because READ operations can be done on a local disk (priority configured via gmirror).

OfficeJet R60 and HPLIP
Dear ALL, I am an older newbie trying to set up an old HP Office Jet R60 on my office computer running FreeBSD 6.2 Stable with the Generic kernel.

Missing KDEprint printer choices?
Hello Family, I normally can use KDEprint's setup tool, (A) Add printer/class (B) Click next on the popup screen and then see scores of printer makes and models to choose from. I see nothing in my FreeBSD-6.2 offerings. I use KDEprint on all my Unix based OS's and KDEprint is fully poplulated when I get to this point. I felt I have loaded just about everything under /usr/ports/print and still see no printers to choose from. Can anyone shed some pointers my way?

Re: Confused about version
What should I be running when updating my sources? RELENG_6 or RELENG_6_2? Or is there no difference?

When running RELENG_6, how often would I have to make buildworld? Not sure I understand your question. You buildworld every time you upgrade your system and need to rebuild your system.

FreeBSD vs mysql50-server
Hi Guys, I have installed MySQL 5.0.45 server on a new FreeBSD 6.2 boxen, and having some problems restoring a 10GB database backup to the new server. The error I receive is max_allowed_packet too large. When I change the value for max_allowed_packet and set it to 100M, or 500M, or 1G, or 1000M, or 8589934592 (bits), it does not appear to be changing the value in MySQL. I only have one configuration file located in /etc/mysql/my.cnf which is where I am setting the max_allowed_packet value. After altering this value, I restart MySQL (or even the entire server) and then log into mysql and do a show variables; command. The max_allowed_packet variable is ALWAYS set to 1048576 (1M), and has not changed no matter what I try. Is the my.cnf file in the right location (/etc/mysql/)??? How can I check where MySQL is reading the configuration from if there is a possibility it is not coming from this location??? Not sure if this additional information is of any use, in the rc.conf file I have changed the database directory by using mysql_dbdir=/db/ mysql. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: What hardware can cause crashes?
My time honored method is to start swapping parts - I'm getting my but kicked by a couple of brand-new disks right now. Swapped out controllers and cables, the system still is useless, but I'm now sure it's the disks. Better yet, I know it's the brand-new disks, not the old ones. Fortunately, it's not the disk I have BSD on, just a data drive, otherwise it would be hard to swap out and isolate, but with bsd, you can swap pretty much every component but the root disk for a new one and it will still boot. It can get expensive fast, but what can you do? Steve On 8/1/07, ytriffy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, list. I recently send some debug data to hackers about crashes on my system.

Not sure if this additional information is of any use, in the rc.conf file I have changed the database directory by using mysql_dbdir=/db/ mysql. OK, then it is presumably /db/mysql/my.cnf.

PAM, su, and ksu behavior
I would like for the su command to NOT prompt the user for any password when the user has a kerberos ticket. That is su should not prompt for a kerberos or unix passwd. PAM is unable to determine if a terminal is encrypted and so the system should not inspire the user to cough up a password. I simply added: authsufficient pam_ksu.so no_warn to the second line in the default /etc/pam.d/su config file. It worked, but I would not expect to be prompted for a password when I already have a ticket. (Secure single sign on is the whole point, right?) What I desire is the behavior of the MIT ksu command. If the principal is listed in .k5login and has a valid ticket for the requesting principle, to be granted the shell as the new UID. Near as I can tell, the heimdal ksu command that comes with FreeBSD has nothing to do with PAM. Is that true? Don't assume that I understand PAM. I have been looking at this for all of a couple days. It seems dead simple. Maybe I just can't get the behavior I want. Thanks, Jason C.

6.2 not compatible with new sata drives ?!
I know it strains credibility, but I can't see what else the problem could be. I got 2 new 160GB drives last month, and my system has been unstable ever since. I have swapped cables, purchased a brand-new sata150 controller (as opposed to the year old sataII), and the results are always the same. I thought the drives might be DOA so I RMA'd one of the 160's, and got a new 400GB yesterday, and it's differenent, but similar. Get lots of setfeatures settransfermode taskqueue timeout errors in dmesg, can't read sectors, sometimes the system reboots, etc. The only fix is to remove the new drives. Anyone else had this issue? My 2 old sata 160GB drives from last year are rock solid, but they get disconnected if you touch one of the new drives. Unplug the new drives, and no problems whatsoever with the old ones. I put both the sata150 and the sataII card in my system, and put the old 160's on one, and the new 160's on the other, and the old ones work fine, but the new ones still die (they just don't take the old ones with them when they are on their own card). So I'm pretty convinced it's the drives, but why? This is like the old Win95 days. I haven't had a legitimate hardware issue since I don't know when Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Firewall question
Hi What I want to accomplish is a DMZ on the third ethernet on my soekrisbox. I have done this before with OpenBSD and PF but now I want to do it with FreeBSD and ipfw. My isp uses dhcp but they don't change my ip so very often (almost never) so you can see it like I have a static ip. First the ipnumbers on the three cards in the box. sis0 have 83.x.x.x sis1 have 192.168.0.1 , and this is the lan. sis2 have 10.0.0.1 , and this is meant to be a dmz. Another box with ip 10.0.0.2 is connected to sis2 and is configured as a webserver. I have a working firewall in the soekris-box with ipfw. What I want to do is redirect incoming on port 80 to 10.0.0.2. I have tried this in my /etc/natd.conf redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.2:80 80 In combination with an opening for incoming in the firewall for port 80 (any to any). I also opened for it in hosts.allow. I can see the website on my local lan and I can see it from the firewall, but not from outside. I use my cellphone to check if it's reachable (and that worked under OpenBSD and pf). In my rc.conf I have the natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf after the firewall, I want the firewall early in the file before the ethernets are configured. I then tried to do the natd directly in my ipfw_rules (my ipfw rules file) with this natd -redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.2:80 80 which gave me this natd:instance default: aliasing address not given. The hand book says The external IP address on the natd machine must be active and aliased to the external interface. Look at rc.conf (5) to do so. Well ifconfig_sis0_alias0=inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 would not make it (I have tried other netmasks as well). I have googled around and seen that others have had the same problem, but no solutions or suggestions that leads in the right direction. Someone must have done this before I assume? Or if someone have some ideas I will be very happy. /Regards from Sweden. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Two interfaces, two IPs, nearly twice the speed?
Federico Lorenzi wrote: Hi list BACKGROUND: I have two ppp interfaces tun0 and tun1 configured. Each of them has an IP address in the same range, like 10.0.0.1 for the first and 10.0.0.2 for the second (They are really dynamic public IPs...). Now, what I would like to do is get it so that they get mixed together. QUESTION: Is it possible to get PF to somehow round-robin the connections? Lets say Joe connects to the internet and starts downloading a file, it will use up Connection 1. Now Peter connects, PF knows that connection 1 is used, and makes Peter's request go through Connection 2. Kinda like a Dual-Internet? I tried that once. It wasn't pretty. There are still rogue and unresolved memory leaks that cause this to fail under high load by exhausting mbufs.
