Trouble with rshd after replacing 5.x with 6.2-RELEASE
Not long ago, I took a working FreeBSD 5.x system on my local network, (whose name is shiny) wiped the disk clean, and then installed from scratch FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. I then configured it as best as I could to get it to behave as much as possible like the old/prior 5.x system. Most suff mostly works as expected... the two exceptions being X (and various X clients), which I already know I need to update, and rsh. Today I'm struggling with the rsh problem. Doing something simple from another machine on my network, such as: rsh shiny.lan.monkeys.com date just simply doesn't work, even though I have a good and fully functional .rhosts in my home directory on the upgraded system (shiny.lan.monkeys.com). All I get back is: rshd: Login incorrect. I find this particual bit of dysfunctionality particularly inexplicable because I _can_ effectively rlogin to the upgraded box, from the exact same other system, with no problem at all via: rsh shiny.lan.monkeys.com So, I have been trying to figure out why I can rlogin (via rsh) to the box and yet not be able to rsh to it to execute commands but I have had no luck at all in figuring out what's going wrong here. The only thing that I know for sure is that somwhere between the old 5.x system I was running and the new 6.2-RELEASE system I'm running now, somebody got the swell idea to pam-ify rshd... and I gather that this may have something to do with the problem. (I have little to no knowledge of pam, and I have even less of an idea why it would have been shipped with 6.2-RELEASE in such a misconfigured state that even something simple like rsh host command would cease to work.) Anyway, could somebody please take pity on me and explain to me what I need to tweek to get this to work (again) after my upgrade to 6.2? The rshd man page is no help at all, and only confuses things further, because on the one hand it makes mention of a /etc/pam.conf file... which doesn't even seem to exists on this 6.2 system (Was I supposed to create one?)... while on the other hand it tells me that I need to tweek the /etc/pam.d/rsh file... which I already did, as instructed by the man page, but doing that didn't help at all. So what's the Right Answer to make rsh/rshd work again, e.g. in the presence of a per-user .rhosts file? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have an interesting but frustrating issue that I've not been able to diagnose and/or resolve. Scenario: FreeBSD 6.1 Release fileserver (generic kernel) running samba-2.2.12_2. Desktops are Windows XP SP2, all up to date patch-wise, mapping various Samba shares. Problem: When I run smbstatus, all users that are members of the wheel group show a UID of root and a GID of username. Users who are not members of the wheel group show a UID of username and a GID of username. Equally, removing a user from the wheel group reverts them to username/username UID/GID at next logon. I have two sites running identical hardware/software configurations at both server and desktop level. But on the second site, members of the wheel group have a UID of username and a GID of username, which is precisely as it should be, based on passed experiences. I'll take this opportunity to mention that I also have a 4.11 server, again with some wheel group members, and in this case too, UID and GID for these wheel group members are username and username. I've kept this as simple as I could, but would happily provide more info if I've omitted anything critical or relevant. The issue is not causing any specific operational issues, but is annoying when I want to use smbstatus -uusername as I obviously get no result for wheel group members unless I specify a username of root, then I get more than I care to. If there's an obvious issue, and you wish to spare me embarrassment, feel free to contact me directly, with the obvious adjustments. If etiquette is that a response to the list is appropriate, I can live with the shame :) . I've extensively searched but can't find a match to my specific circumstances. Many thanks in advance of any suggestions. Regards, Bronte. You don't say how you are managing the users. Is the samba server acting as a domain controller? Are you creating the accounts automatically or manually? -Derek Thanks Derek. Server is acting as a domain controller, yes. Most accounts were created manually (i.e. at server console) on an earlier version of FreeBSD (4.10-STABLE) (including smbpasswd accounts). The pwd.db, master.passwd and /etc/group files were *copied* from 4.10 server to new 6.1 server. I had to recreate the smbpasswd accounts manually on the new server. New users added to wheel group since the 6.1 install exhibit same root/username GID/PID problem. I should point out that precisely the same process was followed on the second site I mentioned earlier, but no problems of this type are evident. With all things being the same on all servers (same samba versions on all) AND that you are manually creating the users, so it isn't a factor in how the user accounts are created. Have you checked the actual samba share definitions? You can force certain actions on a share which can be reflected through smbstatus such as user or group ownership. Also are your XP client pc's all logging into the samba server as a domain controller? You can have users connect to shares and not be logging into the domain controller and instead pass userid/password when mapping a shared drive. I am no samba expert, just trying to think about places I'd look for differences to explain the behavior. You might try posting to the samba lists. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

ADSL Bandwidth Monitoring

But when _downloading_ no more than 30~40% of download bandwidth is consumed. The guys in the ISP say they've granted me the requested bandwidth but this is not what I see in action.

How may I know the real bandwidth limits of my connection? Any tool or trick? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something about ADSL bandwidth? First of all you have to take into account that with an ADSL connection, I'm guessing PPPoE, you have overhead due to protocol tunnelling. Next you must verify that you don't max out your upload while testing download speed. From my tests, up to 90% upload bandwidth usage is safe and shows no impact on download performance. And for last, use multiple download sources as only one may not be enough. Find http or ftp mirrors close to you (on your ISP for ex) and start downloading multiple ISOs for example. Note: Make sure the device taking care of the PPPoE connection is powerful enough to support your bandwidth. For example, I still have a Linksys WRT54GL as router and I can easily see 100% cpu usage and load 1 and thus I can't use my max contracted bandwidth. Use the modem or a powerful enough machine running FreeBSD of course :) -- Joao Barros ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should be running the latest driver with your card. Make sure you have the correct AGP settings, either letting FreeBSD do it in the kernel or disable the kernel and let the Nvidia driver manage it. So, I'm not having terrific luck with any combination of settings I try. The latest FreeBSD driver release from Nvidia is the same as the version in the ports tree. This is what I've installed. Attempting the AGPGART route (building the driver with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=yes and disabling NvAgp support in xorg.conf) still results in a reboot. Going the NvAGP route (Building without support for AGPGART, setting NvAgp to 1 in the xorg.conf, and setting hint.agp.0.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints) also results in a reboot when X starts.

I suspect a couple of problems with what I'm doing. Number one, there's several knobs to turn (in the driver, in the OS, etc.) and it's possible I'm not getting the correct combination. Other thing is, I've been told by a technician that this is a PCI Express video card, so would AGP even come into play? Probably not. I'm seeing the same thing on one machine, no AGP on MB, and agp kernel modules loaded, but nvidia-driver doesn't care about it. Let's kill all red herrings: - Is COMPAT5X in the kernel? COMPAT5X doesn't show up anywhere in /usr/src/; I do have 'options COMPAT_FREEBSD5' defined, though (stock SMP kernel). - Does running `nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info' reboot the system? - If you do not load the nvidia kernel module, but use Xorg's nv driver does this reboot the system? No, doesn't reboot the system. Output attached below. With the 'nv' driver, X starts fine.

Re: Dumb question about DES/MD5 in /etc/master.passwd

If that matters, this system has been receiving system and /etc upgrades since Sep/2003. Maybe some old configuration has been left around... I'm a little too lazy to confirm if this is still the case with the openpam libraries, but it used to be the case that the passwd_format variable was not consulted for changing passwords on existing accounts; the same format was always used. passwd_format would be obeyed if there were *no* password on the account (in particular, the first time a password was assigned). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How may I know the real bandwidth limits of my connection? Any tool or trick? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something about ADSL bandwidth? First of all you have to take into account that with an ADSL connection, I'm guessing PPPoE, you have overhead due to protocol tunnelling. The connection is a simple ethernet connection (sorry, I don't know the exact technical name) which requires no authentication and setup (I have a valid static IP address). On a fresh system, I just need to specify gateway IP and my own machine's and plug the cable in and it starts working Next you must verify that you don't max out your upload while testing download speed. From my tests, up to 90% upload bandwidth usage is safe and shows no impact on download performance. Tested while not uploading and the results were the same. And for last, use multiple download sources as only one may not be enough. Find http or ftp mirrors close to you (on your ISP for ex) and start downloading multiple ISOs for example. I tested the connection by downloading 2~3 files simultaneously and used 'bmon' as Mel suggested in another reply (thanks to him). As I'd already guessed the RX don't get bigger than 30~40% of the expected bandwidth. I performed the test with some other files and there was no difference. Note: Make sure the device taking care of the PPPoE connection is powerful enough to support your bandwidth. For example, I still have a Linksys WRT54GL as router and I can easily see 100% cpu usage and load 1 and thus I can't use my max contracted bandwidth. Use the modem or a powerful enough machine running FreeBSD of course :) Don't worry about that!

VIA Technologies USB 2.0 IDE Bridge woes
Hello, I'm running 6.2-STABLE on i386. Yesterday I purchased a 3.5 USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure kit under the brand name RocketFish, model number RF-HD35.

My provider (Speakeasy) advertises 1.5/384 ADSL for my circuit and that is *exactly* what I get whether moving a single file or multiple files simultaneously. There are only two reasons I can think of that would prevent you from hitting full advertised bandwidth: 1) You are too far away from the CO to hold up the circuit a full speed. Most DSL bridges/routers are adaptive and will downshift to a speed where the error rate is reduced to an acceptable level. Even if you are not far away from the CO, you will also see this if the copper pair is noisy for some other reason: bad grounding, bad splicing, old wire, etc. 2) Your premise wiring is hosed. Home telephone wiring is typically utter crap for data, even on newer homes. A new run of Cat 3 cable directly from the Network Interface box on the side of the building to the jack where the DSL bridge plugs in can do wonders. Also make sure that the cable from the bridge to that jack is good - I just had one go bad and wreak havoc for a while in my office.

Thanks, Bahman The bandwidth being advertised by your ISP would be the maximum thoughput allowed on your DSL lines with multiple DSL users sharing the same bandwidth, something that is generally known as contention ratio. See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contention_ratio Amitabh But you should be able to hit the advertised bandwidth. To the best of my knowledge, DSL itself is NOT a shared medium. It is a point-to- point technology from your premise to the Central Office. The bandwidth *behind* the CO may be shared, but should be so large as to not be a bottleneck. It depends on your circumstances. Some people are constrained by contention ratio some aren't. Some ISPs offer a better ratio for a more expensive accounts. I don't understand this. If the actual DSL circuit is point-to-point - i.e., not shared between the premise and the DSLAM in the CO, just exactly *where* is the contention occuring? Inside the ISP's router. However even cheap ISP routers you can buy off Ebay for a couple grand have enough bandwidth to route between multiple 100BaseT connections. For example the 7206 has 2 800Mbt backplanes. That would mean you could run 500 1.5Mbt DSL customers at full bore to a server on your local network before contention would set in.

When I switched from XO to Speakeasy, I got nearly twice the speed - i.e., What the circuit was actually supposed to do in the first place - and both use the same CO and ISP (Covad). The only other difference was that XO had me using a Speedstream and Speakeasy a Brightport bridge. No matter what XO did, they could never hold up the circuit at full speed, but Speakeasy has no problem doing this. In exchanging bridges, there is some difference, but there's no question that the provider (and their relationship with the DISP in the CO) does make a difference. -- Tim Daneliuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you attach your Sony Ericsson to computer at all, for example if you use it as camera? Is there any other option, or something that can you recommend? Another cable? These kinds of messages usually mean that the umass device is not responding as expected to queries. Some other Sony devices (cameras) seem to have extra padding requirements; you could try adding a quirk to the code for the umass device driver. To look more deeply, you would need someone with a decent knowledge of the USB protocols. Can you help me about what text I should add (in umass.c??)

Seriously now, unless you are willing to experiment with csh until you
get its 'weird' escaping rules to work, you should consider using
something with a more predictable way of escaping string literals.
For example, there is nothing above which cannot be done a lot more
easily with Perl and a hash table:
%fsmap = (
'/' = $fsnm1,
'/var' = $fsnm2,
'/usr' = $fsnm3,
'/home' = $fsnm4,
);
$fsname = $fsmap{$filesystem} or 'unknown';
Using the hash results in much 'cleaner' code too.
Now, go forth and convert a csh script to Perl, Python, or something
with a cleaner syntax :)

Rubbish. I work for an ISP and this is nonsense. DSL is not a shared medium until it gets to the ISP and the ISP should be able to handle full rate circuits internally. From the customer to the DSLAM it's a copper pair. If the DSLAM is far from the ISP backbone you have a shared connection. That's where contention is applied. If for example he has 10mbits downstream contracted and there are several power users hitting the same DSLAM and the link to the ISP isn't big enough... He should be able to get max bandwidth from his home system to his ISP's system. All our customers can. Beyond that, from his ISP to the rest of the world that is a different story. But he needs to get the bandwidth correcte dbetween himself and his ISP first. He should be able to get max bandwidth but not every ISP in the world has link bandwidth allocated for all their customers. Example: you have 100 customers with 10mbits contracted downstream. Think every ISP out there will have a 1Gbps link from the DSLAM to the backbone? Most definitely not. The same happens for mail servers. Do you believe every ISP has enough storage space to hold the advertised email storage space to their total number of customers?

That was not the case. An account with MD5 password was turning into DES.
