incomplete 'portupgrade -a' command
Hello, I installed 'portupgrade' on my system the other day and was mentioned in this http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-using.htmldocument issued the following command after installlaing it. 'portupgrade -a'. After that my computer was like doing a hell lot of things which I suppose included updating the indices of the ports isn't it? Does 'portupgrade -a' updates only the indices of the various ports that are registered in the ports subdirectory or does it INSTALL all of them into the computer?If its the latter than I am kinda jacked I guess as I would have to see which ports have been installed and which ports have been left hanging and accordingly removed the unwanted ports and shred the stuff that has been downloaded without being installed. While it was working my other applications almost froze and I couldn't do nothing so I issued something like 'ctrl+alt+F9' (I do not remember which function key it was) and the computer rebooted(I suppose that combination means reboot on the xfce). Due to this the 'portupgrade -a' command was left in the middle. SO I assume that there could have been instances wherein the source code or other such things might have been fetched without being installed. Can I use the 'portsclean -C' command mentioned on the same page in that document to clean the work directories of all the installed ports?

Portupgrade -a will attempt to upgrade all ports that are installed where the installed version is not the current version. This can be an arduous and perilous task. Reading UPGRADING in /usr/ports is recommended before attempting it. If its the latter than I am kinda jacked I guess as I would have to see which ports have been installed and which ports have been left hanging and accordingly removed the unwanted ports and shred the stuff that has been downloaded without being installed. If you did not install an older version of the port, the port will not be installed. It is for *upgrading* as the name 'portupgrade' implies.

Re: QEMU networking quirkiness on 7.0
Yes, this needs to be setup on the host system. The way a bridge is
configured has changed on 7. Here are the steps assuming that your
external interface is em0:
# ifconfig tap0 create
# ifconfig tap0 up
# ifconfig em0 up
# ifconfig bridge0 create
# ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 addm em0
Now tap0 and em0 are bridged together. You should configure your
external IP on the bridge instead of em0 as you normally would. If you
use DHCP then:
# dhclient bridge0
Forgot to add that you'll also need to create the /etc/qemu-ifup script,
otherwise this won't work. That's what the script should look like:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig ${1} up
Don't forget to make it executable:
# chmod 755 /etc/qemu-ifup
And start qemu:
# qemu -boot c -net nic -net tap -hda path_to_your_disk_image
Now the VM should be able to see your LAN and get an IP from DHCP (if
that's what you use on your LAN)

The thing is that I sometimes get carried away and try to use new shiny things in production, where I can't spend downtime debugging problems that, in theory, shouldn't exist. That's why my reports are sometimes (though not always - I've sent a lot of tracebacks and offered many kernel core dumps for ZFS) are vague. I find that many of the problems I encountered are difficult to reproduce in controlled environment. Yes, ZFS was always tagged experimental, and strictly speaking I really shouldn't use java on 7.0 at all since there are no Sun-blessed binaries.

RAID-5/Stripe Size and verifying absolute disk stripe access

Since my measurements all show the same relatively low read/write performance on the volume matter which offset i choose on the disklabel partition (i've tried with the granularity of a single sector and the results are the same).

Re: rpc.lockd leaking memory on 6.3
In response to Mark Lastdrager [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Recently we updated our main NFS server to FreeBSD 6.3. This machine serves about 10 netboot clients all running FreeBSD 6.2. Since the upgrade we are having some issues with locking. We tried to avoid running the lockd daemons at all but most software on the netboot clients (Apache, Postfix) refuses to run without it. On the 6.3 server rpc.lockd leaks memory, somewhat less than 1 meg per hour. This means that every few days we need to restart the daemon. This is quite annoying because we need to stop/start rpc.lockd on both the server and the clients in a controlled fashion. In most cases also the daemons using locking need to be restarted. Is this a known issue? I could not find a PR for it. Maybe a workaround? I found some recent posts on the -current list about a complete rewrite of the locking mechanism, will this be ported to 6-STABLE in the future? I can't say whether your issue is know, but I do have a suggested workaround until it can be tracked down and fixed. From the mount_nfs man page: -L Do not forward fcntl(2) locks over the wire. All locks will be local and not seen by the server and likewise not seen by other NFS clients. This removes the need to run the rpcbind(8) service and the rpc.statd(8) and rpc.lockd(8) servers on the client. This has been working acceptably for us for a while. I expect it will work for you unless you have applications that rely on locking for actual shared file access. As far as the actual issue ... sounds like you should open a PR. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Poweredge 1950 IPMI
A while back I posted about reading the CPU temperature on a Dell Poweredge 1950. The proposed solution was to use ipmitool to read the temperature from the IPMI controller. This gives me a lot of readings, including ambient temperature, but it does not give me the temperature of the CPUs. It says disabled for the top four readings, which should be the CPU readings. After doing some research online, I found a possible alternate solution of using coretemp. There was a thread that said that the Xeon dual-core CPUs supported that. After checking the output of cpuid, I have confirmed that these CPUs definitely do not support coretemp. Here's the cpuid table (eax in 6 is for thermal monitoring capability --it's all 0s): eax ineax ebx ecx edx 0006 756e6547 6c65746e 49656e69 0001 0f64 04040800 e4bd bfebfbff 0002 605b5001 007d7040 0003 0004 0005 0040 0040 0006 8000 8008 8001 0001 20100800 8002 20202020 20202020 20202020 20202020 8003 6e492020 286c6574 58202952 286e6f65 8004 20294d54 20555043 30302e33 007a4847 8005 8006 08006040 8007 8008 3024 Here's the output from ipmitool: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/achristianson]# ipmitool sdr Temp | disabled | ns Temp | disabled | ns Temp | disabled | ns Temp | disabled | ns Ambient Temp | 24 degrees C | ok CMOS Battery | 0x00 | ok ROMB Battery | Not Readable | ns VCORE| 0x01 | ok VCORE| 0x01 | ok CPU VTT | 0x01 | ok 1.5V PG | 0x01 | ok 1.8V PG | 0x01 | ok 3.3V PG | 0x01 | ok 5V PG| 0x01 | ok 1.5V PXH PG | 0x01 | ok 5V Riser PG | 0x01 | ok Backplane PG | 0x01 | ok Linear PG| 0x01 | ok 0.9V PG | 0x01 | ok 0.9V Over Volt | 0x01 | ok CPU Power Fault | 0x01 | ok FAN MOD 1A RPM | 7350 RPM | ok FAN MOD 1B RPM | 7275 RPM | ok FAN MOD 1C RPM | 4575 RPM | ok FAN MOD 1D RPM | 4425 RPM | ok FAN MOD 2A RPM | 7500 RPM | ok FAN MOD 2B RPM | 7350 RPM | ok FAN MOD 2C RPM | 4725 RPM | ok FAN MOD 2D RPM | 4500 RPM | ok FAN MOD 3A RPM | 7800 RPM | ok FAN MOD 3B RPM | 7350 RPM | ok FAN MOD 3C RPM | 4800 RPM | ok FAN MOD 3D RPM | 4875 RPM | ok FAN MOD 4A RPM | 7500 RPM | ok FAN MOD 4B RPM | 7875 RPM | ok FAN MOD 4C RPM | 4800 RPM | ok FAN MOD 4D RPM | 4800 RPM | ok Presence | 0x01 | ok Presence | 0x01 | ok Presence | 0x01 | ok Presence | 0x02 | ok Presence | 0x01 | ok Presence | 0x01 | ok DRAC5 Conn 2 Cbl | Not Readable | ns PFault Fail Safe | Not Readable | ns Status | 0x80 | ok Status | 0x80 | ok Status | 0x01 | ok Status | Not Readable | ns Status | 0x01 | ok RAC Status | 0x00 | ok OS Watchdog | 0x00 | ok SEL | Not Readable | ns Intrusion| 0x00 | ok PS Redundancy| Not Readable | ns Fan Redundancy | 0x01 | ok CPU Temp Interf | Not Readable | ns Drive| 0x01 | ok Cable SAS A | 0x01 | ok Current 1| disabled | ns Current 2| disabled | ns Voltage 1| disabled | ns Voltage 2| disabled | ns System Level | disabled | ns Power Optimized | Not Readable | ns ECC Corr Err | Not Readable | ns ECC Uncorr Err | Not Readable | ns I/O Channel Chk | Not Readable | ns PCI Parity Err | Not Readable | ns PCI System Err | Not Readable | ns SBE Log Disabled | Not Readable | ns Logging Disabled | Not Readable | ns Unknown | 0xc0 | ok CPU Protocol Err | Not Readable | ns CPU Bus PERR | Not Readable | ns CPU Init Err | Not Readable | ns CPU Machine Chk | Not Readable | ns Memory Spared| Not Readable | ns Memory Mirrored | 0x01 | ok Memory RAID | 0x01 | ok Memory Added | Not Readable | ns Memory Removed

Fwd: incomplete 'portupgrade -a' command
Hello, -- Forwarded message -- From: Aijaz Baig [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 10:55 AM Subject: Re: incomplete 'portupgrade -a' command To: Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, Thank you for your advice lars. With regards to Lars' following quote: Yes. However if you canceled portupgrade while it was updating the ports database, you could have hosed the database, and that could lead to problems. does it mean that if I had used something like CTRL+Z to stop the execution of the 'portupgrade -a' process, it might have led to problems? To that end, I'd like to add that I had initially issued the same command then decided to some more work on the internet and hence issued the CTRL+Z command to stop it when I noticed that it was taking some time.

Does 'portupgrade -a' updates only the indices of the various ports that are registered in the ports subdirectory or does it INSTALL all of them into the computer? Portupgrade -a will attempt to upgrade all ports that are installed where the installed version is not the current version. This can be an arduous and perilous task. Reading UPGRADING in /usr/ports is recommended before attempting it. If its the latter than I am kinda jacked I guess as I would have to see which ports have been installed and which ports have been left hanging and accordingly removed the unwanted ports and shred the stuff that has been downloaded without being installed. If you did not install an older version of the port, the port will not be installed. It is for *upgrading* as the name 'portupgrade' implies. While it was working my other applications almost froze and I couldn't do nothing so I issued something like 'ctrl+alt+F9' (I do not remember which function key it was) and the computer rebooted(I suppose that combination means reboot on the xfce). Due to this the 'portupgrade -a' command was left in the middle. SO I assume that there could have been instances wherein the source code or other such things might have been fetched without being installed. Can I use the 'portsclean -C' command mentioned on the same page in that document to clean the work directories of all the installed ports? Yes. However if you canceled portupgrade while it was updating the ports database, you could have hosed the database, and that could lead to problems. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Release Build
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a customized release build. The idea is to have a NFS export which can be used during installation over the network. My build box is running the same version of BSD(6.2) as the NFS export I intend to create. So instead of mirroring the cvs repository (bandwidth woes :-S) I am using /usr/src. I have built the release using make release CHROOTDIR=/tmp/release BUILDNAME=FreeBSD-custom-6.2 EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src EXTPORTSDIR=/usr/ports WORLD_FLAGS='-j16 -march=prescott' KERNEL_FLAGS='-j16 -march=prescott' -DNOPORTS -DNODOC RELEASETAG=RELENG_6_2 This had completed successfully with my newly built release in /tmp/release/R/. The next thing I did was to export the disc1 folder inside cdrom over NFS and try to boot over the network. I have checked that my netboot works using a CDROM as a NFS export. This time it locks up with Extracting packages. Any clues about where I should start looking??

Apache 2.2.8 and mod_ssl
Hello, I am currently running the Apache 2.2.8 port on the FreeBSD 6.3 platform with mod_ssl enabled. I received the following vulnerability scan results from my organization: Vulnerability: mod_ssl Off-By-One HTAccess Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Risk Level: Signature Group: Safe Description: The remote host is using a version of mod_ssl which is older than 2.8.10. This version is vulnerable to an off by one buffer overflow, which may allow a user with write access to .htaccess files to execute arbitrary code on the system with permissions of the web server. Resolution: Fixes have been made available by the affected vendor. We recommend upgrading mod_ssl to a more recent version that contains fixes addressing this issue. BugTraq: 5084 CVE: CVE-2002-0653 CVSS: 4.9 I referenced CVE-2002-0653, noting that it is from 2002, and noticed that there is no mention of this vulnerability affecting any version of apache paired with mod_ssl in the 2.x branches. I also can't find a version 2.8.10 or greater for Apache 2.2.8. I did find a site that mentioned certain distributions patched the apache software so that this vulnerability is no longer a concern. Could anyone give me some insight on this issue? Is there a document I overlooked that outlines remedial procedures, an updated ssl module, or has the software been patched to negate the vulnerability?

Invoking ldconfig without arguments wipes all hints and makes me very sad
Greetings list. I'm a new user to FreeBSD and I just managed to introduce myself to ldconfig's default behavior. I'm currently locked out of my remote server since bash isn't statically compiled and will have to get physical access to correct my blunder. :( As a new user to FreeBSD, ldconfig's default behavior makes about as much sense to me as rm adding -fr ~ or kill adding -9 1 in the absence of arguments. I hate to sound ignorant but I have to ask, is there any particular reason FreeBSD's ldconfig defaults to this seemingly unintuitive and non-newbie-safe behavior? Would a patch that changes the behavior of ldconfig to assume -r in the absence of command line arguments and adds a new parameter like -e[rase]|-d[estroy]|-w[ipe]|-z[ap]|-l[olnewbie] to enable the original behavior be likely to gain any acceptance?

Re: Pine and IMAP
I have been using a local pine client in conjunction with IMAP for years without issues. However, recently, it looks like when pine moves mail to the mbox file, it hoses up my ability to use my imap clients. Has something changed so that I cannot use pine as a local client? It looks like I might be able to use pine through IMAP ok, but not like I used to. If you have a file called mbox in your home directory, pine will move the contents of your inbox there and treat the file as your inbox - the point is to avoid having large amounts of mail in a local spool directory. I presume that by hoses up my ability to use my imap clients you are just referring to the fact that pine has moved the mail offline. If you move the mail out of your pine inbox, you can then remove the empty file. Pine doesn't create this file by default, it was probably put there by another client - I have seen mutt do this. Yep, the old UNIX mail client generated the box years ago. The IMAP daemon also recognizes this file as the inbox once it is created. However, now it serves the index, but when I try to open one of the e-mail with an IMAP client it chokes out. I have stopped using pine as a movemail type of client and set it up to do IMAP too. However, as you mention, it leaves the inbox on the spool (I don't like this for obvious reasons). I am just wondering what changed to cause me to not be able to use pine in this manor any longer.

Re: [freebsd-questions] Re: Quick+easy port redirect
In the last episode (Mar 28), Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET said: Is there a quick/easy (cookbook?) way to do port redirects. Basically I want that anything that leaves a specific interface to any ip on port 80 go to 192.168.0.1 port 87. I'm using ipfw for some other things so it has to work and play well with that. Make sure options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is in your kernel config: ipfw add 500 forward 192.168.0.1 tcp from any to any 80 Note that this is a routing-style forward. The source and destination addresses are unchanged, so you will likely need another ipfw fwd rule at the destination machine to capture the traffic and force-forward it to 127.0.0.1:87 (or wherever you want it to go). If you're planning on passing the traffic to squid, there's a big FAQ section with some alternate methods: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy Hi, I tried that (Well, 192.168.0.1,87) and it seem to have any effect, as you said that its a routing style forward. It hits my router and that ignores it and keeps on processing normally. I really am looking for a NAT type situation here. I already use the InterceptionProxy wiki to get it to pass it to Squid, thats been running great. My problem is when my primary Wireless Broadband goes down, it needs to take satellite. When it takes satellite, to get a Web acceleration thing going, I need to force it to the satellite modem port 80. SO, as clunky as it is, I used a rule that anything outbound on tun1 (OpenVPN over the satellite) goes to 127.0.0.1,87, which rinetd outta ports sends it to 192.168.0.1,87.

That, in conjunction with root being disallowed by default in sshd effectively locked me out of my machine once I closed my only open ssh session. Modifying my original suggestion slightly, is there any reason why it would be a bad thing for ldconfig to assume -r when either -v with no other arguments (or no arguments at all) is passed to ldconfig or is there some specific reason for the current behavior? It translates to be verbose about restoring factory settings, because without arguments it will restore the built-in set. The 'alias' shell command is suitable for user protection: alias ldconfig='/sbin/ldconfig -r' This will default to -r if called as ldconfig. If you really do want to modify the search path on the command line, you can type the full path to the ldconfig binary, as in: /sbin/ldconfig -vm /usr/local/lib.

listing attached devices
I feel like I'm missing something obvious. When I plug in a compact flash card reader, I can check /var/log/messages to see what devices it has recently detected. What I'd like to be able to do, however, is just enter a simple command at the shell prompt and get a list of what devices are connected -- preferably with some control over which devices are listed so I can narrow it down to storage devices that aren't mounted (even if only via grep). -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Phillip J.

Re: ZFS question...
In the last episode (Apr 10), Wael Nasreddine said: This One Time, at Band Camp, Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 01:14:02PM -0500: You don't necessarily need ZFS for this; gmirror would work just as well. You can split your 750GB drive into three partitions/slices/whatevers: 160GB - mirror this with your physical 160GB disk 500GB - mirror this with your physical 500GB disk 90GB - leftover unmirrored, use at your peril ZFS would let you take those two mirrored vdevs and stripe them into a single pool, but then again you could use gstripe or gconcat for that. The main benefit to ZFS would be if you regularly crash the system; fscking a 750gb UFS filesystem could take a while. That's not the desired behaviour actually, what I want is to gain the maximum space without the possibility of loosing data, I hear that ZFS is excellent at recovering data so I'm trying to figure out the perfect installation with these drives and of course while keeping the data safe... RAID0 is good for not wasting space at all but then again if one drive fails I'll lose everything :( Thae above config will give you RAID1, not RAID0, since you're mirroring each small drive onto a part of your large drive. You'll end up with 160+500 = 660GB of mirrored storage, with 90gb of unmirrored space left over. If you use ZFS, you would do something like this: Replace /dev/md* with your usb devices, obviously :) # mdconfig -a -t swap -s 160G md1 # mdconfig -a -t swap -s 500G md2 # mdconfig -a -t swap -s 750G md3 # disklabel -R /dev/md3 /dev/stdin DONE d: 160G * unknown e: 500G * unknown f: * * unknown DONE # zpool create usb mirror /dev/md1 /dev/md3d mirror /dev/md2 /dev/md3e # zpool list usb NAMESIZEUSED AVAILCAP HEALTH ALTROOT usb 655G112K655G 0% ONLINE - # zpool status usb pool: usb state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM usb ONLINE 0 0 0 mirrorONLINE 0 0 0 md1 ONLINE 0 0 0 md3dONLINE 0 0 0 mirrorONLINE 0 0 0 md2 ONLINE 0 0 0 md3eONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors # df -k /usb Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on usb 6760856320 676085632 0%/usb -- 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]
Re: Invoking ldconfig without arguments wipes all hints and makes me very sad

I'm currently locked out of my remote server since bash isn't statically compiled and will have to get physical access to correct my blunder. :( As a new user to FreeBSD, ldconfig's default behavior makes about as much sense to me as rm adding -fr ~ or kill adding -9 1 in the absence of arguments. I hate to sound ignorant but I have to ask, is there any particular reason FreeBSD's ldconfig defaults to this seemingly unintuitive and non-newbie-safe behavior? Would a patch that changes the behavior of ldconfig to assume -r in the absence of command line arguments and adds a new parameter like -e[rase]|-d[estroy]|-w[ipe]|-z[ap]|-l[olnewbie] to enable the original behavior be likely to gain any acceptance? Regards, Shelby Cain I can't speak about ldconfig but will say that most utilities you run as root have inherent dangers. Many of us that have worked with various flavors of unix have the scars from doing dumb things. I myself made the common mistake of doing rm -rf while in the / directory on a server. Boy it was fun reloading that server ;-) Do some reading, and check man pages before you execute new utilities. As for bash, you can compile and install it statically linked from the ports. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

StartKde
Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this posting, but I am trying to determine what is causing my KDE problems. Here's what I get u85 50 ps -ef |grep kde bjwalker 11622 11076 0 17:45 pts/200:00:00 grep kde u85 51% startkde xset: bad font path element (#104), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax startkde: Starting up... After about 5 minutes of waiting, thats all I get. I've looked around to see where else I may have kde things running and think I've killed them all. I've also moved my .kde directory and allowed for the build of a new one. I'm currently in a gnome session but I would like to run KDE apps like Kile for example. Any help of where to start looking or things to do to help diagonose the problem would be appreciated. thanks b ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: IP Aliasing
David Allen wrote: This may be a dumb question, but I'm puzzled by the following (taken from the Virtual Hosts section in the Handbook): For example, consider the case where the fxp0 interface is connected to two networks, the 10.1.1.0 network with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and the 202.0.75.16 network with a netmask of 255.255.255.240. IP aliasing I get, but two different networks on the same interface? What would this be plugged into to make that work? Ethernet most likely these days. In a perfect world, where ipv4 addresses flowed like water, everyone managed to forecast everything perfectly, and nobody ever had to renumber a network, I doubt there'd be much call for it. And I'd never want to try make a case for it being terribly elegant. I'm personally acquainted with a couple of cases where it comes up: 1) Multi-homed networks with ipv4 addresses assignments too small to do something real like using BGP to advertise = /24 to multiple ISPs. So to talk via one ISP you use one address and via the other ISP you use the other. 2) You need to migrate to new addresses but can't afford to shut everything down long enough to change everything all at once. There are others. --Jon Radel smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: Adobe Flash Player Petition
Where do such articles go for FreeBSD? ... I can make a website on my server for it, but it seems to be a kind of overkill, for just such installing sequence.. If you have things working for Flash 9, enough people /will/ be interested this is not overkill. My suggestion: 1) create a web page; present the steps (with commentary is appropriate) in an easily readable format; _date the page_. 2) post the URL to questions@, ports@, and possibly www@ and multimedia@ in separate posts. Make the subject line something relevant - this is not about Adobe Flash Player Petition. and/or send a PR, including the content (not just the URL), to have it added to the Handbook or the FAQ. That way, even if the website goes away before a doc committer gets to it, it's archived in the PR database. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
