Re: setting the other end's TCP segment size
Is there a simple way for a FreeBSD system to cause its peer to use a transmit segment size of, say, 640 bytes -- so that the peer will never try to send a packet larger than that? I'm trying to get around a network packet-size problem. In case it matters, the other end is SunOS 4.1.1 on a sun3, and I've been unable to find a way to limit its packet size directly. Setting the interface MTU should do it, i.e.: ifconfig re0 mtu 640 Not all interfaces support setting the MTU and some may have range restrictions though. In particular, this seems to work with my wlan0 interface, but not with my re0 interface ... That's certainly simple enough, and xl0 apparently supports the reduced mtu setting. It seems to be working just fine. Thanks! I'd thought of trying to set the sun's MTU, but hadn't been able to find a way to do it. It had never occurred to me that setting the *recipient's* MTU would limit the *sender's* packet size. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you are installing several boxes with the same packages, then download to one and transfer the package files to the others locally. You can do this via flash stick, NFS, ftp, scp, samba share, and probably many other ways.

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct list to post this to, and if it
isn't please could you point me to where it should go.
I have recently turned to freeBSD and so far I love it. I have a small
laptop that I use for playing around and general fiddling. I was using
the Debian netinstall and booting over pxe/tftp when I wanted to
reinstall. I started looking at the automated install, but it seemed
very complex. I have been looking at the freeBSD option and it seems
that the automated intall is very simple (at least from a user point
of view).
I have been trying to get pxeboot to work, so far with no luck. I have
a dhcp/tftp server set up and I am able to push pxeboot across the
network, so I assume that is all ok. NFS is also setup, at least I was
getting nfs errors that I don't have anymore. I copied the contents of
the 7.0 cd into the my tftpboot folder and changed the contents for
loader.conf and loader.rc according to here
http://www.locolomo.org/pub/pxeboot/pxeboot.html and
http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml and so far I
am able to get a prompt come up but I am unable to get any further. As
soon as I enter anything the computer immediately reboots so i am
unable to see any error messages. I assume the paths are relative to
the tftp server. Can anyone give me quick example to get me off to a
start.
http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/pxeboot_serial_install.html is a pretty
good guide, you can ignore the bits about rebuilding pxeboot as your not
using a serial console but the mfs_root bug could be what you are hitting.

What if the file system to be dumped, does not have sufficient free-space to store a snapshot? Can I still safely dump(8) a mounted file system? A snapshot doesn't take any significant /extra/ space itself. Rather it consists of marking the state of the system at that time and provides a view (via the .snap directory) of that state of the filesystem. Of course, subsequent modifications of the filesystem can cause more space than otherwise expected to be used up -- as both the snapshot and the latest versions of anything have to be kept around -- but how much impact this has depends entirely on the IO traffic characteristics of your particular filesystem and cannot be predicted in any useful fashion without a great deal more information. If snapshots won't work for you, another trick (if you can swing it) is to have the data on a RAID1 mirror. Then you can detach one of the mirrors, back it up and then reattach the mirror. Doing this with gmirror is a simple matter of writing about a 10 line shell script. Other mirroring hard/soft-ware may be less cooperative. However you do it, this will involve an extended period while mirrors resynchronise after the backup where your file system won't have the desired level of resilience. If you can't use snapshots, can't split the mirror and you can't unmount the filesystem, then the next best thing is to make the filesystem as quiescent as possible. Basically, shut down any processes using the filesystem. That's probably as unacceptable as any of the other alternatives -- in which case, you can still go ahead and dump the filesystem, but don't expect the generated dump to be 100% consistent. It will be 'good enough' for some purposes, but files actively involved in IO at the time the dump is made are likely to be corrupted.

Security is mostly about applying good practices, and is more of a (never ending) process and not a system. FreeBSD gives you all the tools you need to build a very secure system, but it is up to you. First things to consider: what you want to protect, from whom, what kind of access (if any) they have to the machine. A strong root password is good, but not of much use if someone can walk to the machine and reboot it to single user mode, or even worse get the disk and run. You already say about a user with operator rights. If it is only a mount / umount operation he needs to perform, a very specific sudo would be better IMHO.

I didn't change anything else except for the 'console=xxx'. And I had had no problem before that. Could anyone tell me why? I will very appreciate for your help : This is just the driver for the HighPoint Rocket Raid controller being a bit too verbose. It's detected that you don't have anything compatible with hptrr(4) and (unlike the usual behaviour of most Raid Controller drivers (or drivers for any sort of hardware really)) it considers this fact to be of such vital importance that it really had to print out something on the console. Needless to say such behaviour has already been quashed in 7-STABLE and will not appear in 7.1-RELEASE. In other words, it's harmless and you can just ignore it. I suspect that this output wasn't actually triggered by your changing the console setting -- there's no conceivable way changing one should affect the other -- but that changing the way the boot messages are displayed has managed to draw your attention to it. You probably had it before but never noticed. But, actually it claimed that no controller detected and asked me to specify the root filesystem manually, which wrote: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Manul root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices empty line Abort manual input I tried ufs:/dev/ad0s1a, which was the real root filesystem registered in my /etc/fstab, but it still could not be mounted. And the same direction came out again to asked me to point out the root fs. I tried '?' also, but it seems that no disk devices were found... The kernel told me List of GEOM managed disk devices:, and nothing but the same old direction followed. Ah. This is a different problem, unrelated to the 'no controller detected' message. Unless you actually /do/ have a controller driven by hptrr(4)? Basically your problem is that /dev/ad0 has disappeared -- and as that's where the boot code expected to mount the root filesystem from, it threw a big spanner in the works. Now, ad0 can disappear for a number of reasons: * the disk has died * the disk was unplugged and then not plugged back in again properly * the disk was plugged into a different connector internally (it could appear as one of ad1, ad2 or ad3 in this case) * you changed some BIOS settings and now the system is presenting the disk as a SATA device (it could appear as ad4 or ad6 in this case) * you changed some BIOS settings and now the system has tried to generate some sort of RAID from the attached drives -- this could appear as ar0, or it could prevent FreeBSD seeing the drive(s) at all or it could have just shredded the contents of your disk and left you up a gum tree. (Normally you would have had to click through several dire warning messages in the last case, so this eventuality shouldn't have been particularly surprising to you) Check all the connectors. Check the disk is properly seated, especially if it's a hotswap device. Try booting up the installation media or a Freesbie disk or any sort of LiveCD and see what hardware the kernel discovers at boot time. If you have been changing BIOS settings, try changing them back to what they were originally.

OT: encrypted email using web based application
If I start with Subject line with the word secure using my work's email system, the email is sent to a secure, web based application where the recipients can view the message securely. The recipients receive a message that a secure email message is waiting for them there. They have to create an account based upon their email address to view the message. They do not have to recreate the accounts for future messages. This system is easy to use; and we don't have to worry about whether the recipients have PGP or GPG. Is there an open source application that does this?

Very very weak sound from the speaker
I'm wondering why is it that no matter what I do, I can't seem to make my laptop emit sound lounder than a whisper. The laptop is an ECS Elitegroup W330 (Arima W330-UCX) and this is the website of the laptop: http://www.arimacorp.com/ViewProduct.asp?View=145 I thought at first there was no sound coming out at all, so what I did was I plugged an external speaker to it and maxed out the volume via the volume knob and set my mixer settings all to 100, then I was able to hear sound from the speaker, but it's too weak to be of any good use. The following is my configuration: $ cat /boot/loader.conf | grep snd_ snd_ich_load=YES $ kldstat | grep snd_ 31 0xc0d3 6f88 snd_ich.ko $ kldstat | grep sound 42 0xc0d37000 4a5acsound.ko $ cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep pcm pcm0: Intel ICH6 (82801FB) port 0x5000-0x50ff,0x48c0-0x48ff mem 0xb0040800-0xb00409ff,0xb0040400-0xb00404ff irq 20 at device 30.2 on pci0 pcm0: [ITHREAD] pcm0: Avance Logic ALC250 AC97 Codec $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: Intel ICH6 (82801FB) at io 0xb0040800, 0xb0040400 irq 20 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default) $ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer speaker is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 100:100 Mixer cd is currently set to 100:100 Mixer rec is currently set to 100:100 Mixer igain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line1 is currently set to 100:100 Mixer phin is currently set to 100:100 Mixer phout is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic I tried audacious, xmms, and mpg123 but I still get the same behaviour.

Re: No controller detected when boot FreeBSD 7.0
Matthew Seaman wrote: vardyh wrote: Matthew Seaman wrote: vardyh wrote: Hi all. I'm a newbie to FreeBSD. I added 'console=comconsole' to /boot/loader.conf and I got 'hptrr: no controller detected.' on the next boot. I didn't change anything else except for the 'console=xxx'. And I had had no problem before that. Could anyone tell me why? I will very appreciate for your help : This is just the driver for the HighPoint Rocket Raid controller being a bit too verbose. It's detected that you don't have anything compatible with hptrr(4) and (unlike the usual behaviour of most Raid Controller drivers (or drivers for any sort of hardware really)) it considers this fact to be of such vital importance that it really had to print out something on the console. Needless to say such behaviour has already been quashed in 7-STABLE and will not appear in 7.1-RELEASE. In other words, it's harmless and you can just ignore it. I suspect that this output wasn't actually triggered by your changing the console setting -- there's no conceivable way changing one should affect the other -- but that changing the way the boot messages are displayed has managed to draw your attention to it. You probably had it before but never noticed. But, actually it claimed that no controller detected and asked me to specify the root filesystem manually, which wrote: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Manul root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices empty line Abort manual input I tried ufs:/dev/ad0s1a, which was the real root filesystem registered in my /etc/fstab, but it still could not be mounted. And the same direction came out again to asked me to point out the root fs. I tried '?' also, but it seems that no disk devices were found... The kernel told me List of GEOM managed disk devices:, and nothing but the same old direction followed. Ah. This is a different problem, unrelated to the 'no controller detected' message. Unless you actually /do/ have a controller driven by hptrr(4)? Basically your problem is that /dev/ad0 has disappeared -- and as that's where the boot code expected to mount the root filesystem from, it threw a big spanner in the works. Now, ad0 can disappear for a number of reasons: * the disk has died * the disk was unplugged and then not plugged back in again properly * the disk was plugged into a different connector internally (it could appear as one of ad1, ad2 or ad3 in this case) * you changed some BIOS settings and now the system is presenting the disk as a SATA device (it could appear as ad4 or ad6 in this case) * you changed some BIOS settings and now the system has tried to generate some sort of RAID from the attached drives -- this could appear as ar0, or it could prevent FreeBSD seeing the drive(s) at all or it could have just shredded the contents of your disk and left you up a gum tree. (Normally you would have had to click through several dire warning messages in the last case, so this eventuality shouldn't have been particularly surprising to you) Check all the connectors. Check the disk is properly seated, especially if it's a hotswap device. Try booting up the installation media or a Freesbie disk or any sort of LiveCD and see what hardware the kernel discovers at boot time. If you have been changing BIOS settings, try changing them back to what they were originally. Cheers, Matthew But it's weird that I didn't change any of the mentioned above. After I removed the 'console=Xxx' from loader.conf, it booted successfully. It seemed that the console option was the only matter. But I can't figure out how THAT option affected the adN device when booting up. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?

If you think any other pieces relevant let me know. I think this is probably just an issue with my not knowing wtf I'm doing, but to be optimistic lets assume the ahd module worked as there are no errors in dmesg; which device do I install to? I can not see see ahd0 in fdisk. There are alot of posts over the years reporting trouble with the Dell(Adaptec/Seagate) combiniation. The funny thing is that I am having none of these troubles; There are no panics, no dumps and no lengthy pauses. It all seems fine, until I try to select the disk to install to and I only have da0 or da1.

I'm trying to get around a network packet-size problem. In case it matters, the other end is SunOS 4.1.1 on a sun3, and I've been unable to find a way to limit its packet size directly. Setting the interface MTU should do it, i.e.: ifconfig re0 mtu 640 Not all interfaces support setting the MTU and some may have range restrictions though. In particular, this seems to work with my wlan0 interface, but not with my re0 interface ... That's certainly simple enough, and xl0 apparently supports the reduced mtu setting. It seems to be working just fine. Thanks! I'd thought of trying to set the sun's MTU, but hadn't been able to find a way to do it. It had never occurred to me that setting the *recipient's* MTU would limit the *sender's* packet size. You can edit `/etc/hostname.foo0' in the Sun too, and add something like: 192.168.1.10/24 mtu 640 but since now you are happy with the new setup, that's fine :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For example, in the above diagram you cannot load balance the traffic, it will always go through the same routers: FW1 and FW3 or FW1 and FW4 or FW2 and FW3 or FW2 and FW4. It will of course failover in case of a FW failure. I would use CARP on the lan to lan link to provide redundancy and load balancing.

Looks it up the web, the Dell pages describe it best, and the contrast on that 24 has to be seen to be believed. I actually turned it down! I would second the Dell's, specifically the UltraSharp line. I have a 19 Ultrasharp as my primary monitor and a 19 Dell Standard as a secondary monitor. The Ultrasharp has DVI and VGA, a built in USB hub and is great to look at. Thanks, Preston. So:: boiling it down to a make and a line, now Chuck [[ and you ]] give thumbs-up on the Dell.

I was really knocked out by the contrast/brightness, but even more by those front panel switchable interfaces, which let me easily connect up two computers to the same LCD, and just need to hit a button on the front to switch. Before I put the money down here, I really did read the reviews, and I felt they came up on top there, which made me feel like I couldn't walk away from that purchase as being a mark. I got the 19 models back in 2000, and about 2 months ago (I think?) I finally lost one. I replaced it with a 24 model from Dell because of my good experience with the earlier one, but also because the 24 2408WFP came compatible with 1920X1080 HDTV, 8 different interfaces (two of the DVI interfaces alone!) and nicely done PIP. It cost me aboout $650 (this time I bought it direct from Dell, not going thru eBay) and the contrast really surprised me by being astonishingly better than the old 19 model (which I'd thought was already pretty decent). I really like this new one, and although I didn't buy it, it comes with an inexpensive addon, a soundbar, that integrates right in, and a really easily adjustable height desk mounting. I'm disabled, and I can adjust it easily, and it's stable. I dunno, you might possibly be able to beat the price. I kinda doubt you can beat the quality vs. price factor.

A leading cause for this would be hardware failure -- something gone wonky with your hard drive. Try booting the 'fixit' system from the installation media and see if you can fsck and access the filesystems on the disk -- it may be a localised problem that's killed the ability to boot from the drive leaving the rest unaffected. Or the entire drive may be toast, and you've got no option other than to get yourself a new drive and restore from backup. Actually, given the fairly cheap price of disks nowadays, I wouldn't try too hard to fix up the original disk: if you're going to have to spend some hours working on it, it's more economic to ditch the old one and start afresh.

tex, teTex, LaTeX help
Hello, I've been told that LaTeX is probably the best solution for creating scientific papers with math fonts, so I'm trying to get a working installation. My first attempt was to install the latex2e-2003.12_1 port, which installed the tex-3.14159_3 port as a dependency. This seemed to work, but there were some things referenced in the documentation that seemed to be missing. For example, the amsmath package wasn't available. I thought there must be a port specifically for these fonts, but it seems they are in the teTex port, but that port conflicts with the tex port and it seems teTex is no longer being updated. Is there a guide for getting all this set up, or can some kind soul suggest a installation method that works well for them?

The existing gcc 4.2 will be supported for some time by the gcc developers. In the meantime hopefully llvm/clang will mature enough to provide an alternative.

I expect that teTeX will be removed as soon as TeXLive is ported. IIRC,
some people are working on that. A problem is that TeXLive has an
interactive install script. I'm not sure how well that matches with ports.

Many thanks for pointing out how to get \LaTeX{} from TeXLive.
Basic installation is very easy, just use the install script on the
CD. If you have to build you own binaries (only i386 6.x binaries are
supplied on the CD), it is somewhat more involved. Basically, you need
to patch a makefile to remove some omega stuff that won't build. I have
some notes from my last build that I could send you if you like.
If more people are interested I could post them on the list.

7.0-stable snapshot
Good day. I recently attempted to install the most recent AMD64 7.0-snapshot onto another system. I chose a minimal install with all of the source distributions as well as ports. Unfortunately, the install fails when attempting to install the scompat tarball. Upon looking at the install CD, it appears that the scompat tarball is not listed in the src directory. src/scompat does seem to appear on a 7.0-release CD. I've attempted to reburn the snapshot with the same results. Naturally, if I omit scompat from the src install options, the install proceeds normally and without error. I'm just curious as to where the problem actually resides. Are the 7.0-snapshots leaving out scompat for some reason? Since I've attempted to download and burn multiple snaps with the same issue, I can't see that I've a corrupt ISO.

Building a FreeBSD based mail server
I posted a few weeks ago about being interested in building a FreeBSD based mail server, and got a lot of good input. In my research since then, I found this: http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4 Which seems to me to be a pretty good guide to building a FreeBSD based Postifx/SpamAssassin mailserver. However, never having done this before myself, I was wondering if anyone here had any useful comments about this guide, particularly if you think it's missing any key points that will leave me cursing at my monitor late one night.

sendmail base configuration
Hi all, I know this isn't exactly the right place for a sendmail question, but it has to do with the system configuration, and I'm trying to find some help to create a relatively simple solution (I think)... ok, here is what I want to do, which I have done in the past, but now it doesn't seem to be working... I simply want any submitted email using sendmail to be relayed to another mta for distribution. I want this to happen both from submitted mail from the command line, and from any queues, if the mail is submitted to the running daemon. I use FreeBSD 7.0, and all of the configuration is in /etc/mail/. From what I understand, if I simply set the DS variable to a hostname, it is supposed to use that as the smart relay host, but it is not working. For some reason, it is ignoring that hostname, and attempting to contact the MX record host for the domain name of the machine, which is really weird. So, I tried setting the DS and the MTAHost variables to the IP of the machine I want it to go to, and that seems to work, but oddly enough, sendmail replaces the Rcpt To: variable with my current logged in [EMAIL PROTECTED] host instead of the address that I gave on the command line to send the mail to... So, for instance, I would do a command like this : /usr/sbin/sendmail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:test from command line test . tt... Connecting to [209.132.x.xx] via relay... 220 relayhost.scaledsystems.com ESMTP EHLO script5.scaledsystems.com 250-scriptmail.scaledsystems.com 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME MAIL From: 250 ok RCPT To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] DATA 250 ok 354 go ahead . 250 ok 1217444220 qp 69963 tt...

Is this a bounce or something??? Is it bouncing the message based on some sort of new relaying rules or something?

Re: Building modules distributed with Apache, using ports
Jonathan McKeown [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This may be a daft question. I freely admit it's a lazy one - I'm hoping someone has a quick answer that'll save me a couple of hours building a test server and experimenting. I built apache 2.0 from ports, using WITH_LDAP - but not WITH_LDAP_MODULES, as the Makefile.doc says it's implied by WITH_LDAP. As far as I can tell it's actually the other way round, that WITH_LDAP_MODULES triggers the WITH_LDAP options (either that or I didn't set it properly). Be that as it may, I now have an installation of Apache to which I need to add mod_auth_ldap and mod_ldap from the Apache 2.0 distribution. Is it possible to use the www/apache20 port to build these, or additional modules generally, without rebuilding/reinstalling Apache itself?

There is basically no chance the GCC developers will reconsider their decision to relicense GCC 4.3 to GPLv3. If not, will then FreeBSD move to another compiler?

Bizarre Diskless Boot Behavior
I have a number of diskless FreeBSD servers. Usually, they work fine.

Insert disk labelled boot.nfsroot.options=nfsv3,soft,intr,tcp and press any key... (The latter being the first line of loader.conf.)

Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?
Hi Derek, As mentioned in my post, I have configured the Adaptec BIOS (SCSIselect/HostRAID) to create a RAID0 array. The GENERIC Kernel natively-uses the 'ahd' adapter for this card, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ahdsektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE dmesg does not post any errors, it recognised the card as ahd0, and states that da0 da1 are on that bus. I can not post the dmesg as the NIC adapter needs to be patched once the OS is installed. I could find a USB key and copy it over if you like, but there are no errors to consider.
