I know I'm missing the obvious. I want to use an IP list to
generate an ip+hostname list. IOW, I want to go from this:
x.x.x.x
y.y.y.y
to this;
x.x.x.x foo.domain.tld
y.y..y.y bar.domain.tld
What's the best/easiest way to do this?
Easiest:
$ for i in `cat ip-list`; do
echo -n $i
dig +short -x $i
done
Don't know why I didn't think of that.
I ended up using this:
for ip in `cat public_linux_ips`; do echo ${ip} `dig +short -x ${ip}`;
done public_linux_ips_resolved
Which gave me the output I wanted. Thanks for the pointer.

The middle command - host ip | getline; - executes the 'cmd' part on
the left side of the pipe, getline parses the output, hence $NF now
gives the last field in the output from host.

Maybe a long shot, but do you also have KDE3.5x installed on this machine? While KDE4 and KDE3.5x can coexist, you have to make sure that /usr/local/kde4/bin is in your path *before* /usr/local/bin. Otherwise you may get to run a mixed system with some files coming from kde4 and others from 3.5, causing very weird problems (which I faced recently). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ALTQ and services
Hello,
I am trying to find out how to specify services in the below scenario:
ext_if=kue0
altq on $ext_if priq bandwidth 1024Kb queue { q_pri, q_def }
queue q_pri priority 7
queue q_def priority 1 priq(default)
pass out on $ext_if proto tcp from $ext_if to any flags S/SA
keep state queue (q_def, q_pri)
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if flags S/SA
keep state queue (q_def, q_pri)
I grabbed this example off a web page but would anyone help me
understand how I can define queue priority for ssh, smtp, httpd and ftp?
I understand that q_pri has a priority over q_def, but where do I define
what's inside them? Many, many thanks!

I recompiled tin,mutt, etc. but i did not want to recompile kdebase, so i took a kdebase package from FreBSD-7.0-RELEASE and extracted the kdm-bin out of here.

Re: USB Drive Reliability
Jason C. Wells wrote: I am running FreeBSD 6.3. I have found that attaching and detaching USB drives to my box is unreliable. Is this the experience of other users? I guess I've been lucky, because I haven't had much of a problem with various USB storage devices so far. I haven't been on FreeBSD 6.x for long, though; I went straight to 7-current a few months before 7.0 was released, then followed the 7-stable branch. The only thing that doesn't work is detaching a device (whether USB or other) while it is still mounted. This is supposed to be fixed in 8-current. (My personal impression is that 8-current is quite reliable at the moment, so if you have a spare machine it might be worth giving it a try. Be sure to subscribe to the -current mailing list so you don't miss any important heads up messages.) Another thing worth mentioning is that a new USB stack is under development by Hans Petter Selasky. I'm not sure when it will be committed to 8-current, but I think it's pretty much ready. It will certainly fix some of the problems people are seeing with the old USB stack. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Re: Shell scripts: variable assignment within read loops
David Wolfskill wrote: I am writing a (Bourne) shell script that is intended (among other things) to obtain information from a command, such as: netstat -nibd -f inet by reading and parsing the output. However, the obvious (to me) approach of piping the output of the command to the standard input of a while read ... statement turns out to be not very useful; [...] Well, that's not *quite* accurate:the assignment is done all right, but in the latter case, it appears to be done in a subshell, so by the time we get to the echo statement, any variable assignments from within the read loop have vanished. That's correct, as Giorgos has already pointed out. Most bourne shells execute all parts of a pipe except the first one in a subshell, so any assignments are lost. A common way is to echo things from within the subshell and capture them through command expansion, like this: foo=$( something | while read x; do whatever echo value done ) That will assign value to the variable foo. This only works for single variables, of course. If you want to assign to multiple variables, it gets a little more tricky. One way is to use single assignment like above, and then split it into several variables on a delimiter character. The following will split $foo on whitespace and assign the results to $1, $2, $3 etc., with the count in $#: set -- $foo You can split on any other character by setting the IFS variable of the shell appropriately. If you know in advance how many values you'll get, another possibility is to use a so-called here document: read foo1 foo2 foo3 rest end $( something | while read x; do whatever echo -n value done ) end For example, a simple way to get hour, minutes and seconds into three variables without having to exec date(1) three times: read H M S end $( date +%H %M %S ) end Or: set -- $( date +%H %M %S ) H=$1 M=$2 S=$3 It gets more complicated if you need to get the exit code of some parts of the pipe except the last one. You didn't ask for that, though. :-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Is there a way that I could configure host B to somehow expose to host C the X tunnel to host A? From host B I have access to the users' homes on host C and I could place there some script to set the DISPLAY env var on user login. B$ echo $DISPLAY on host B gives back something like localhost:16.0, but if on host C I enter: C$ export DISPLAY=B:16.0 C$ xterm it doesn't work.. probably host C doesn't expose a network socket but maybe a unix socket for the X tunnel..

Out of curiosity, I booted my system with a done version 5 installation harddisk I had extracted from a system some years ago, and guess what? fsck_ffs version 5 seemed to do more than version 7 did!

Re: Is it possible to run i386 only, on a amd64 freebsd 7?
O.K I understand that. So I can see that unless I have an i386 FreeBSD build, I really cannot install those i386 only software titles. In that situation I assume I can only use amd64 ports and software. I have an idea though, would it be possible to build a i386 FreeBSD on an another partition. And use it to run i386 software while using the amd64 FreeBSD? I tried something similar using an i386 chroot, but wine failed to run (SIGABRT). If you need these i386-only ports/software, you should probably just run the i386 version of FreeBSD. Do you have a compelling reason for using the amd64 release (e.g. 4GB of RAM)?

sendmail secondary server routing to alternate port
Greetings, I recently had to rebuild my brother's all in one box to get a SATA controller working. It is now running 7.0 release and was previously using courier and the mail system. With this rebuild, I have switched him over to sendmail and most things are working, but I discovered a small issue with sendmail that I am having trouble working out. As well as being his own primary email server, he acts as secondary for a couple of my domains, the tricky part is my ISP shut off port 25 access to me (no, I am not a spammer) so I use port 587 for handling mail. With courier, I was able to specify specific ports to communicate with on a per domain basis. For example, if I was relaying for example.org on port 2345, I would specify example.org:2345 and that is the port it would use to talk to example.org. Now that I have switched to sendmail, I don't see a way to set the destination port on a per domain basis, only on an all or nothing basis. Am I missing some piece of the documentation or is this an actual limitation of sendmail? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Override default ICMP (and other protocols) default replies.
Hi freebsd-questions. I'm implementing a NAT (1 ip - 1 ip) like router. I have chosen to use pcaplib to pick up the packets. I have an implementation which picks up the packets, inspects them, rewrites the destination/source ip-addresses and sends them out on the repective interface. The problem I'm facing however is that my interfaces are answering to e.g. icmp-echo (ping) automatically, and I don't know how to turn this behaviour off. What I want to happen is that if A pings C, my router B in between should simply forward the packets w/o any automatic reactions. A -- B -- C So that if e.g. C is down, no echo-reply is sent back (or if C is up, that C is actually sending the echo-reply. Does any one know how to turn off the automatic replies (ICMP and whatever else I haven't forseen yet) or does any one know where I can find out more about the issue?

A trick I've used to great advantage in bourne shell and bash for
passing multiple variables back is to produce small snippets of shell
script within a function, such as the following, for pulling in a bunch
of variables with a single program invocation for efficiency:
get_stats(){
stat -fc 'mount=%n blksz=%S total=%b free_root=%f \
free_user=%a' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
get_stats / /dev /tmp | while read line
do
eval ${line}
# now mount, blksz, total, free_root, and free_user are set here.
printf = %s has %u free %u-byte blocks, out of %u\n \
${mount} ${free_user} ${blksz} ${total}
done
The function returns a series of lines that can be iterated with 'while
read', and evaluated individually for action. If the function returns
only a single line, it can be passed directly into eval:
eval $(get_stats /)
As this shortcut does execute arbitrary code, however, there is always a
chance that it can be hijacked for nefarious purposes if the data source
is untrusted.

Sorry, I don't know what *-depends-list targets refers to. But
I think it's something about the ports which I don't want to use,
instead, using the precompiled packages is what I wanted to.
From portinstall's -p option I know a similar behaviour: Things
are compiled, installed, and put into packages/ as packages that
could be transferred to another system.
I read the pkg_add manpage many times, and now I have a solution.
Watch out! it's ugly! But I think it works.

#
# getpkg.sh 2008-08-19
#
# fetch a precompiled package as well as it dependencies
# for further installation

echo $0 package
exit 1

echo -n fetching $1 ...
if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then
echo $1.tbz already there

echo dependency for $1 is ${DEP}
$0 ${DEP}
done
rm $1.txt
exit 0
One thing I don't know yet: Will such a collection of .tbz files
be installable in a recursive way? Does pkg_add only need files
in the format name.tbz, or is name-version.tbz required?
I will check this.
Up to this time, enjoy the ugly script. :-)
Anyway, thanks for help.

7-STABLE lock order reversal

Re: Memory requirement for fsck_ffs in recovery session

I'm not following your logic, but I suspect you're jumping into dangerous waters here... I think so, too, but that's the only way I think I can recover at least a part of my files without buying an expensive and Windows based recovery program or even sending the harddisk to a recovery service for 50 times the price of a new harddisk. I found out that fsck_ffs version 7 seems to stumble at incorrectly read or processed variables maxino and lastvalidinum. After removing these obstacles from the source code fsck seemed to process further, but did not reach the point where collected inode data would be restored into the lost+found/ directory. This is what I do expect. Out of curiosity, I booted my system with a done version 5 installation harddisk I had extracted from a system some years ago, and guess what? fsck_ffs version 5 seemed to do more than version 7 did! This is what I get: fsck_ffs: cannot alloc 1073796864 bytes for inoinfo My question: My machine has 768 MB RAM (512 + 256 MB SDR-SDRAM) and fsck_ffs seems to request 1 GB RAM (1073796864/1024/1024/1024). Is it possible to provide this amount of RAM via a harddisk backed RAM disk or a swap partition? Swap should be fine; the allocation is just a regular calloc(3) call. So I should assert a swap partition big enough; /dev/ad2s1b should be fine for this. I think I'll try ffsck_ffs version 6 from a PC-BSD installation that must be somewhere around here... Not likely to help, but since you aren't working with the original disk, you don't have much to lose by trying... That's why I'm glad (haha) that dd replicates the error 1:1. Maybe fsck_ffs version 6 behaves differently than 5 or 7. If I gathered more information and did try some more things, I may bring up my most sad problem here again. And: No, I didn't have a backup. :-( -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't have to be done through ports, you can still get the packages using pkg_add -r and then recreate them using pkg_create -Rb. Side effect is the packages will be installed on the download machine, and that may not be what you want.

Every new release, Intel counts up its $billions in faster uprocessors. With our stuff, it may be X11 and possibly sloppy hacking. I can't tell since I just gave away my old 750MHz for a 2.4GHz Dell. I may tell this: My 300 MHz P2 runs faster than my 2000 MHz P4! And I won't buy any new stuff as long as the old one is working well, just to keep the same speed? Wrong universe.

Well, that doesn't matter to me because all this stuff can easily be reinstalled (which would be a good advice to do when you think that parts of the system may be missing, just to be sure). It may be easier to completely remove v3 and re-install kde4. Yes, this should leave the system in a default state where KDE4 should run fine without complaining about stuff from version 3. I'm pretty sure I was in ./root or slash when I logged in. Display managers (xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm), when run manually, have to be run as user root: Login: root # xdm # exit X sessions started via the xinitrc command and a proper ~/.xinitrc file should not be run as root, but from a regular user account: Login: bob % startx To run a display manager automatically, /etc/ttys needs to contain the correct line: # name getty typestatus comments ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure For gdm, kdm and wdm, use /usr/local/bin/[gkw]dm respectively. Finally, there's an easy way to automatically login a user (ATTENTION, SECURITY RISK!) and start an X session for him. Therefore, /etc/gettytab needs a little modification: default:\ ... autologin:\ :al=username:tc=Pc: a|std.110|110-baud:\ ... As well, the user's ~/.login file needs to start X; last line: [ -f /tmp/.X0-lock ] startx For this solution, xdm may not be loaded via /etc/ttys - only one instance of X will run (except you put some extra stuff there).

It's not about building from ports, it's about using the ports tree to infer the runtime dependencies. You would recurse through make run-depends-list doing a make -V PKGNAME in each directory. If you don't mind downloading some build dependencies you can just do a make all-depends-list, which is already recursive.

I may tell this: My 300 MHz P2 runs faster than my 2000 MHz P4! And I won't buy any new stuff as long as the old one is working well, just to keep the same speed? Wrong universe. Something must be wrong here... Have you posted to the kernel hackers? Can you borrow someone's fast[er] hardware and duplicate your configuration? Examples, please? ball-park [estimates] for times are okay.

Unable to access certain sites from FreeBSD 6.2
Hi, I am having a problem accessing some sites from Freebsd 6.2 in either firefox or Opera. I looked around for some advice on this on the net, found some pages mentioning this as a problem when Freebsd was running on the machine acting as the gateway and the machines trying to access the sites were Windows or Mac. But my case is this my set up: Laptop(FreeBSD 6.2) - netgearFVS318 router- ADSL modem (set up as bridge) I have 2 other machines connected to the router, one running Windows XP Home and the other NetBSD 3.01 both have no problem accessing the sites that I can't access on the FreeBSD machine. resolv.conf is set up with the addresses of both my ISP's DNS servers. Below are the results of ifconfig -a and traceroute -v to one of the problem sites. Any clues?
