I have several nameservers running from a replicated MySQL database, on
both Ubuntu and FreeBSD, and in the past on Debian. It's not really a
FreeBSD issue this, so you might be better off with the bind-dlz-testers
mailing list (http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/mailing_list.html).
There's a good deal of information on configuring bind-dlz on the
bind-dlz site, and a good deal of information on configuring replication
in MySQL on the MySQL site. Here are a few pointers from my experience:
Like any database project, spend some time thinking carefully about your
database schema before you start. As I recall, the examples on the
bind-dlz site place SOA records and other RRs in the same table. I
prefer to separate these out, eg
--
-- Table structure for table `dns_rr`
--
CREATE TABLE `dns_rr` (
`rr_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`zone` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`host` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '@',
`ttl` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '86400',
`rr_type` enum('A','','MX','PTR','NS','TXT','CNAME','RP','SRV')
NOT NULL DEFAULT 'A',
`mx_priority` smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
`rr_data` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY (`rr_id`),
KEY `zone` (`zone`),
KEY `zone_host` (`zone`(250),`host`(250)),
KEY `rr_type` (`rr_type`),
KEY `zone_host_type` (`zone`(245),`host`(245),`rr_type`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
--
--
-- Table structure for table `dns_soa`
--
CREATE TABLE `dns_soa` (
`zone` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`ttl` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '86400',
`primary_ns` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'ns0.example.com.',
`resp_person` varchar(255) DEFAULT 'hostmaster',
`serial` bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT '1',
`refresh` mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '3600',
`retry` mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '600',
`expire` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT '2419200',
`minimum` mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '1800',
`owner` varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`active` enum('yes','no') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'no',
PRIMARY KEY (`zone`),
KEY `owner` (`owner`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
If you plan on running bind chroot bear in mind that if you connect to
MySQL with a unix socket, you need the socket to be in the chroot. An
alternative, with slightly more overhead, is to connect with TCP. But
don't forget that if you specify the host as 'localhost' the mysql
client will try to use unix sockets - you need to specify it as
127.0.0.1 to force TCP.
Spend some time tuning MySQL. In particular, make sure the query cache
is adequate. Query responses are quite small, so I've found reducing
query_cache_min_res_unit to 1k useful.
It may be worth considering running a separate instance of MySQL just
for bind so that it can be tuned to that specific purpose and the query
cache isn't filled with non bind related queries. Bear in mind that
storing your zone data in MySQL is considerably slower than bind's
default in memory system, so on a busy system you need to get every
ounce of performance out of MySQL.
Don't use a bind-dlz installation as a caching nameserver. Apart from
the usual reasons to keep caching resolvers and authoritative name
servers apart, firing recursive queries at bind massively increases the
number of sql queries - bind-dlz will have to execute queries in order
to work out that it is not authoritative for the requested domain. All
these queries on random domains will fill MySQL's query cache with stuff
that might not be asked again and you'll see a reduction in query cache
hit rate.

error allocating memory with realloc(). how can i increase max_allowed in the system?
Hi,
i'm running a FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 machine and struggling with some C code
i'm writing.
I've had some trouble with this home-made script as it keeps crashing
while launching a realloc() call.
I narrowed down the problem and here i'm sending you a short example of
code that crashes:
*
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
int main()
{
int midataula;
midataula = 3000;
char *missatge = (char *)malloc(midataula * sizeof(char));
missatge[0]='h';
missatge[1]='o';
missatge[2]='l';
missatge[3]='a';
printf(\n\ntaula1: %s,missatge);
int voltes;
voltes = 0;
while(voltes4)
{
midataula = midataula+500;
realloc(missatge, midataula * sizeof(char));
voltes++;
}
printf(\n\ntaula2: %s,missatge);
}
*
this is a full working you can compile on your machine.
Like this... i get Segmentation fault (core dumped)
but if instead of while(voltes4) i use while(voltes3)
the script works fine with this output:
**
taula1: hola
taula2: hola
**
so... i guess there must be a limit in the system somewhere.
I've tried to reset all variables that i've seen in the sysctl -a list
refering to malloc, memory, mem, and so on... but so far i haven't fixed
the problem.
i'm running this script as root and in the /etc/login.conf file there's
only the default group with the unlimited values.
A part from that, if i perform a limit call, i get this:
*
# limit
cputime unlimited
filesize unlimited
datasize 33554432 kbytes
stacksize524288 kbytes
coredumpsize unlimited
memoryuseunlimited
vmemoryuse unlimited
descriptors 45000
memorylocked unlimited
maxproc 22500
sbsize unlimited
*
i've tried to resize datasize and stacksize, but the system won't let me
do so.
any idea how to solve this?
thanks.

There's your problem. realloc() works fine, but it *returns* the new
pointer; it does _not_ modify missatge in place.
The program should work fine if you use size_t for midataula (it is the
'size' of an array, which may not necessarily fit in an 'int'), and if
you use realloc() correctly, as in:
#include stdlib.h
#include err.h
size_t midataula;
char *missatge;
/*
* DON'T cast the result of malloc(). It may 'hide' the bug of
* a missing stdlib.h include, and cause troubles when
* malloc() is implicitly defined by the compiler as:
*
*int malloc(...);
*
* On a 64-bit machine converting a 64-bit pointer to `int' will
* lose the high-order 32 bits of the address, and you will try
* to access unexpected memory areas.
*/
midataula = 3000;
missatge = malloc(midataula * sizeof(*missatge));
if (missatge == NULL)
err(1, malloc);
Then when you use realloc() keep both midataula and missatge in
temporary copies until you are sure that realloc() worked:
while (voltes 4) {
char *tmp;
size_t newsize;
newsize = midataula + 500;
tmp = realloc(missatge, newsize * sizeof(*missatge));
if (tmp == NULL)
err(1, realloc);
/*
* Now that you know the resize has succeeded, update
* midataula and missatge. realloc() is allowed to
* relocate missatge. See the following note in its
* manpage:
*
* Note that realloc() and reallocf() may move the
* memory allocation, resulting in a different return
* value than ptr.
*/
midataula = newsize;
missatge = tmp;
}
Right now you are calling realloc() as:
realloc(missatge, newsize * sizeof(*missatge));
and throwing away the resulting pointer. The first time that realloc()
discovers that the `resized' vector cannot fit in its original location,
it relocates the array, and returns the new location. You throw away
that location and your next iteration through the loop tries to access
an invalid (already freed) memory region.
That's what causes your segmentation fault.

char *missatge = (char *)malloc(midataula * sizeof(char));
missatge[0]='h';
missatge[1]='o';
missatge[2]='l';
missatge[3]='a';
printf(\n\ntaula1: %s,missatge);

}
There's your problem. realloc() works fine, but it *returns* the new
pointer; it does _not_ modify missatge in place.
The program should work fine if you use size_t for midataula (it is the
'size' of an array, which may not necessarily fit in an 'int'), and if
you use realloc() correctly, as in:
#include stdlib.h
#include err.h
size_t midataula;
char *missatge;
/*
* DON'T cast the result of malloc(). It may 'hide' the bug of
* a missing stdlib.h include, and cause troubles when
* malloc() is implicitly defined by the compiler as:
*
*int malloc(...);
*
* On a 64-bit machine converting a 64-bit pointer to `int' will
* lose the high-order 32 bits of the address, and you will try
* to access unexpected memory areas.
*/
midataula = 3000;
missatge = malloc(midataula * sizeof(*missatge));
if (missatge == NULL)
err(1, malloc);
Then when you use realloc() keep both midataula and missatge in
temporary copies until you are sure that realloc() worked:
while (voltes 4) {
char *tmp;
size_t newsize;
newsize = midataula + 500;
tmp = realloc(missatge, newsize * sizeof(*missatge));
if (tmp == NULL)
err(1, realloc);
/*
* Now that you know the resize has succeeded, update
* midataula and missatge. realloc() is allowed to
* relocate missatge. See the following note in its
* manpage:
*
* Note that realloc() and reallocf() may move the
* memory allocation, resulting in a different return
* value than ptr.
*/
midataula = newsize;
missatge = tmp;
}
Right now you are calling realloc() as:
realloc(missatge, newsize * sizeof(*missatge));
and throwing away the resulting pointer. The first time that realloc()
discovers that the `resized' vector cannot fit in its original location,
it relocates the array, and returns the new location. You throw away
that location and your next iteration through the loop tries to access
an invalid (already freed) memory region.
That's what causes your segmentation fault.

Re: how to let MPD check the password against POP3, IMAP or WWW?
Hi that is not exactly what I wanted to do. My idea was to use a script which accepts the username and password as parameters and then tryes to connect to a web, pop3 or imap server, depending on what is easier. e.g. lynx -auth=username:password http://some.foobar.org/protected and only if the script is able to fetch the protected page, than the user is also accepted for the VPN connection.

Jails - Pseudo Interfaces/ Virtual Networks - Best Practices?
I'm in the process of planning a transition from VMWare (on CentOS host) hosting service-specific FreeBSD virtual machines to the seemingly more efficient, stable, and lower maintenance cost approach, now that I've figured out at least some of the magic of creating jails under FreeBSD. I do have a couple questions as to what the recommended approaches to the IP interface for the jails. The questions generally relate to being able to consistently identify traffic from/to the jails, inside and outside the jail host, with tools such as ipfw and tcpdump. One set of concerns that I haven't looked into is discussed in the thread http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1418948+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2008/freebsd-questions/20080720.freebsd-questions where it appears that To sum up, if jail host running at 10.0.0.1 connects to a jail running at 10.0.0.2, the traffic will occur over lo0, and BOTH endpoints of that connection will use the jail (10.0.0.2) address. To my mind, that can be problematic. With VMWare, I was used to being able to create a pseudo-interface that could be wired to a virtual switch (hub, from what I can tell) and then that switch could be bridged (or NAT-ed) to a physical interface. This could lead to topologies that looked like physical machines and traffic could be controlled between them relatively unambiguously. Some places where the FreeBSD jail bind to physical interface model seems to fail for me are described below. I'd appreciate insights into a good strategy to deal with these and related situations: 1) Firewall/bastion host, DNS intended for that host only Here DNS needs to be run for the host itself only, to be able to start up NTP and allow ssh connections for management over the protected interface. In this situation, the DNS is *only* supplied to the physical host itself. Binding the jail to 127.0.0.1 doesn't seem right to me. Binding it to the outside (public) interface is equally bothersome. 2) Bastion host, SMTP relay Here the firewall/bastion host is: * Accepting connections on its public interface for SMTP connections and relaying to an internal SMTP server * Accepting connections on its public interface for submission connections and relaying internally and externally for authenticated users * Accepting connections on an internal IP for SMTP connections (with different Postfix rules) and relaying both internally and externally * Connecting to an internal DNS server, either in another jail on the same machine, or in an jail on another machine In this case (and related ones) the firewall rules would be simplified if the packets from the jail were actually in recv from an identifiable interface so that the packets looked like those from a physical host on the DMZ network, allowing the basic access control and filtering to be handled by the general DMZ sections of the rules. (I'm aware that there is a jail prisionID selector in ipfw, but (a) it seems to only handle TCP and UDP, and (b) I'd likely have to repeat topology-related rules for each jail.) Is there a standard way to create jails on a virtual interface or, perhaps better yet, internal network or switch, that would allow them to be handled en masse by topology-driven rules? I'm hardly a netgraph expert and didn't find any references in the documentation to this kind of use of the facility. Is there a way to hang a virtual DMZ off a pseudo-interface somewhere inside the host in addition to the physical DMZ attached to a external interface - routing tables cover virtual = physical communications - packets in recv psuedo-interface from the virtual DMZ and ipfw can handle control of communication between two DMZ (and other) subnets This could either be replicated once for each service jail, or a topology that had a virtual smart switch connecting multiple pseudo-interfaces that could be used by multiple jails, that then communicated with the rest of the world through a single pseudo-interface.

I made energy efficiency and silence the top priorities when researching parts for my current desktop and the two pretty much go together. I ended up with Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard and AMD 35watt cpu and Seasonic high efficiency power supply. The CPU is even lower power than AMD's low power range (search for ADD3800CUBOX). It was cheap then but they are hard to find now. There seems to be a lot of variation in CPU power consumption in CPU's with the same performance, eg ADO3800CUBOX, virtually identical, is 65 watts. Do you build your hardware from the tower case up? ---Green is in these days; so maybe some of us, or each of us, can contribute to a best-of list for those who are going to find a local builder or roll their own. First time I'll be in an in group :-) Yep, any old crap case found on the street will do. With a little care building modern hardware is _really_ easy, it's very hard to mess up as there is only a handful of parts and most things that plug into other things can only do so one way and things that aren't supposed to plug into each other mostly can't. Power supplies provide instant protection, ie won't turn on when there is a problem. My computer has one each of motherboard, hard drive, power supply, optical drive and cpu, plus 2 ram modules and a few cables. The time consuming part is researching the parts. If you are building servers you might have to dig even deeper, eg http://www.worlds-fastest.com/d.pdf/wfw991.pdf You can also reduce consumption by choosing an energy efficient model of power supply and by choosing lower output power. I calculated the power consumption for each component and found I could buy the smallest power supply in the Seasonic range and still have power to spare. Only one hard drive of course. I bought SATA but it turns out IDE uses less power. Also limiting the amount of memory and keeping the monitor brightness turned down keeps power consumption down. Hmm, any idea if a large drive = 200G is more/less watts than having, oh, 4Gigs of ram?? No but I would guess hard drives use somewhat more (depending on whether you are using memory intensive or disk i/o apps). Reading manufacturers data sheets is the only way to really know. You can find lots of info with your favourite search engine. It's a while since I measured the power consumption of the finished machine but I seem to remember it uses about 35 watts at idle and about 95 watts while exercising everything to the max. The Dells at work use quite a lot more, in the region of 60 to 130 I think. Not that bad if you've got only one box. My Ubuntu is a bear to reboot, sometimes, because the mouse goes nuts every other reboot. Do you mean it's not that bad that one computer uses 130 instead of 95. I think that is critical to the problem. To think about climate change you have to multiply your negligible contribution by the total number of negligible contributions. Manufacturers are not interested in 'green' so we have to do it for ourselves. I have to say it was a bit painful spending £50 on an energy efficient power supply instead of £15 on a standard one, but the other parts aren't any more expensive. I'll redo my measurements in the next couple of days. It's a good idea to turn computers off at the wall when not using them not just shut them down. I was surprised to find mine uses about 25 watts when shut down. Again the Dells at work use even more. The corporate environment must waste so many megawatts...

My problem is our main requirement is to have a way to view the logs on a web based interface that will allow our system administrators when a customer complains they didn't receive an email to be able to go into the logs and search by date/time and view the activity for that period to determine if the mail went through our system or if it was blocked and if so why. It should be very easy to roll your own. I know that exim comes with a number of GUI useful monitoring tools, but I don't know if this functionality is there.

Re: question -updating package + ignore depend
hey Greg, just wanted to mention that firefox3 does not handle addons/plugins correctly yet according to ports/UPDATING, so this is still probably right for now and i will probably end up installing ff2 anyway. i got around it using make deinstall/reinstall to upgrade for now, but will try to figure out how to do this proper since i got one port that was going to install the whole of kde3 ( i have a clean install of kde4 and gnome only). thanks for now ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nvidia Driver - OpenGL - Compiz
Can anyone tell me why, how to fix, or even what is happening on my machine. I ran the 169.x driver for a long time with no issues at all. I decided to upgrade to 173, and noticed instantly that any time I run an OpenGL application X crashes instantly. The odd thing is that I am not seeing any errors on the screen (maybe going off too fast), and I do not see any errors in any of the log files. X shuts down instantly, my machine goes black, X starts back up, and I sit here staring at the log in screen. If I go back to the 169 driver, the issues does not occur. I'm not positive it's OpenGL applications, but it seems any game or GL application I try crashes it instantly. Not even a second to acknowledge the crash... screen goes black and that's it. I'm running FreeBSD 7.X (RELENG_7), nothing custom in the kernel, Intel 6600, GeForce 8800, compiz, gnome, and nothing really fancy. I've had other tell me to roll back to 169, but no one can tell me why this is happening, if it's a problem for everyone, if there is a fix, etc. Any bits of information would be greatly appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Build ncurses from sources HOWTO?
Hi all I'm learning to build ncurses-5.6 from sources (ie. outside of ports) on i386 FreeBSD 7.0 (RELENG_7). As the first step, I want to make sure I patch the ncurses-5.6.tar.gz correctly. Here is what I do: 1. Download ncurses-5.6.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ 2. Download patches from ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.6/ 3. Unpack tar xzf ncurses-5.6.tar.gz cd ncurses-5.6 4. Patch sh ../patch-5.6-20080621.sh patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080628.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080705.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080712.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080713.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080726.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080804.patch 5.

Have I patched correctly? Are there anymore patches to apply or have I patch too much? 2. Are there anymore Post patch actions to be performed? Your help in this regard is very much appreciated and many thanks in advance.
