Re: How to view TCP advertised window by using tcpdump?
EdwardKing presented these words - circa 9/3/08 10:15 PM- I use TCP client to connect daytimesesrver which port is 13,I want to know how to use tcpdump to view TCP advertised window? Where is the TCP advertised window in the tcpdump result? Thanks When you run tcpdump, for tcp packets, look for the 'win' string. For example, looking at a pop3 stream I see - tcpdump -i rl0 -s 1500 tcp and port pop3 [...] 23:00:38.371059 IP 10.0.0.10.pop3 10.0.0.1.33656: P 13468:14292(824) ack 96 win 33304 nop,nop,timestamp 246782562 2080639302 23:00:38.373003 IP 10.0.0.1.33656 10.0.0.10.pop3: . ack 14292 win 65535 nop,nop,timestamp 2080639302 246782562 23:00:38.629916 IP 10.0.0.1.33656 10.0.0.10.pop3: P 96:104(8) ack 14292 win 65535 nop,nop,timestamp 2080639302 246782562 23:00:38.630021 IP 10.0.0.10.pop3 10.0.0.1.33656: P 14292:14325(33) ack 104 win 33304 nop,nop,timestamp 246782588 2080639302 The win indicates the advertised window. So 10.0.0.10 is advertising a window of 33304 bytes and 10.0.0.1 is advertising a window of 65535 bytes. Try 'man tcpdump'.

I had no trouble dropping a 120GB Fujitsu into my T23 recently (was 30GB), so I expect 160GB would be fine, especially in a much later model. And 2GB is likely plenty for anything but Microsloth Vasta. Something to consider is what type of RAM it uses, eg the older PC133 144-pin SDRAM I need for my T23 is now very expensive, ~U$70 per 512MB stick, or around A$100 shipped, where newer RAM is a fraction of that. Any fellow TP-people onlist who know if my friend is right? If you specify the model of the laptop, a quick Google or search on IBM (Lenovo) website will inform you what the maximum upgrade path on hardware is on the box. So if this 3GHz was an X-41 or a T-41, there'll be someplace online with the exact specs? Or is there more to the model designation. I have tried to find some specs on upgrade when I had my 600E. Found nothing. As an example (T-41): http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-58183.html I've never heard of a uniprocessor Thinkpad running anywhere near 3GHz, but then there's lots I've never heard of .. but the T41[/p] only goes to 1.7GHz according to the above URL, so it must be a much later model. On a quick check, the fastest T43 seems to be a Pentium M 770 @ 2.13GHz. In the past, when dealing with business client purchases, what upgrade paths I could not find on a website or via documentation, I was always able to call up and ask via telephone. GVood point! I'll find what what this guy's quals are. No sense in blowing $400-500 out the window, then going Oh, S**t! Well I certainly wouldn't buy a Thinkpad I didn't have the EXACT model number of, when that reveals the CPU type/speed, HD and RAM originally fitted, CD/CDRW/DVD[RW], screen size, video card, wireless etc options.

Re: Portsnap: No Update Available
Although the mirror changes, that rest of the message is the same. Except doing a ports freeze, I do not remember FBSD going 24 hours without some port being updated. I was just wondering if this is correct or if something is wrong with the mirrors. FreeBSD 7.1 maybe ? not sure if we are in ports freeze yet, but wouldnt surprise me. Sorry, I'm not in this ml.

Hi,
I have been using rtorrent and screen for a while now, it is a great
setup. Anyway, I found an rc.d file for debian that I have changed to
make work for me on freebsd 7. I doubt it is as good as it could be,
but hey, it works fine for me :)
You will have to change some of the variables at the top of the file.
It opens screen on boot, names it rtorrent and starts rtorrent, does
its thing in the background. To connect to it type screen -r rtorrent
I placed it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d since it isn't part of the base
distribution. I also named it with a .sh suffix, I forget why but it
is something to do with a controlling terminal, I think. I also have a
nice .screenrc file if you would like since I know how much of a pain
it is to figure out!
$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: rtorrent
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
#
###Notes###
#
# This script depends on screen.
# For the stop function to work, you must set an
# explicit session directory using ABSOLUTE paths (no, ~ is not
absolute) in your rtorrent.rc.
# If you typically just start rtorrent with just rtorrent on the
# command line, all you need to change is the user option.
# Attach to the screen session as your user with
# screen -dr rtorrent. Change rtorrent with srnname option.

Re: Automatically starting user programs on boot
Minda sharing your .screenrc?
Sure, here it is. I have set the escape character to [ because it is
easier on my little finger than the default ctrl-a. It is easily
changed by changing escape to 'escape ^pP'. If you leave it as [ it
will play havok when trying to paste text into a terminal since
everytime it reads [ it reads the char after and does what ever that
binding does.
I haven't really changed much, but the important thing for me was the
hard status line. I found the default difficult to remember what was
open, I have set it up so that it shows all windows open with the
current highlighted in red with the host and time and date on the
right. There are probably other smart things that can be done, but
this suits me for now :)

freebsd-update
Hello, I've run today freebsd-update fetch and it found some updates, including /boot/kernel/kernel: The following files will be updated as part of updating to 7.0-RELEASE-p4: /boot/kernel/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols /usr/src/sys/amd64/amd64/exception.S /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh /usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c /usr/src/sys/netinet6/icmp6.c Then I ran freebsd-update install # freebsd-update install Installing updates... done. I guess this does not update my running kernel and I have to reboot to really update it. Right? Or is there any way to do this without reboot?

flyspray and php 5/postgresql weirdness, help ...
hello,
for development in our scientific environment I setup
/usr/ports/devel/flyspray, running with a postgresql 8.3.3 backend on a
FreeBSD 7.1-PRE box.
After a successful installation, I get this error while trying to reach
the freshly installed server via https://host/flyspray/:
Query {SELECT p.*, c.content AS pm_instructions, c.last_updated AS
cache_update FROM flyspray_projects p LEFT JOIN flyspray_cache c ON
c.topic = p.project_id AND c.type = 'msg' WHERE p.project_id = ?} with
params {1} Failed! (ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying =
integer LINE 3: ... LEFT JOIN flyspray_cache c ON c.topic =
p.projec... ^ HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument
type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.)
I do not know whether the shown problem is postgresql-syntactical or a
php 5 problem, so I guess it's a kind of both.
By the way, the webserver is Lighttpd and not Apache, so it may could be
a fastcgi.server problem?
I would appreciate any hint or tip, thanks a lot ...

Event I make some «randomize» time in the crontab it's only when I make the crontab, that's mean every day the portsnap is launch in the same moment.

When you enter single user mode, root file system is mounted read-only so one of the first things you need to do is mount -u -o rw /. Next, you need to mount your other file systems (/usr is usually a separate file system and that's where ssh lives) so do mount -a. At this point you might as well cancel the single-user mode by exiting the shell and go multi-user. If there are file system errors. mount -a will fail and you'll need to mount other file systems by hand. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Then:

I usually check out the colours by:
$ xterm -bg DarkSalmon

Strange traffic originating from httpd
Hi all, Just today I noticed some strange UDP4 traffic from my webserver to an IP address unknown to me, connecting to port 8000 (UDP). Sockstat showed httpd (running as www) as the culprit. Does anyone know what could cause this? I run several websites (Joomla, Wordpress, Coppermine, Nucleus), so maybe some plugin does this. My setup: FreeBSD 7 patch 4 Apache 2.2.9_3 (from ports) PHP5.2.6 (not from ports) Thanks in advance for your answers. -- http://www.boosten.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sendmail not authenticating with smart host
Greetings, Due to port 25 restrictions, I am trying to get my brother's email server to authenticate out on port 587. I have sendmail talking via port 587, but it is not properly authenticating. To help narrow things down, I am having his machine route all mail to my machine with authentication. His machine is a running version 7: 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 Here are some relevant parts of the hostname.mc file: define(`SMART_HOST', `myserver.com') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db')dnl auth/client-info has this: AuthInfo:myserver.com U:hisuser I:hisuser P:password M:PLAIN And I have created client-info.db hash. I have copied the config file workflow from my server which uses smtp auth to talk to my ISP on port 587. On myserver.com, I do see that his machine connects to me, but I see this error in maillog: Relaying denied. Proper authentication required. When I was trying to go through his ISP, I got this error message in his error log: stat=Service unavailable. We share ISP (from different states though) and I am still able to send via my ISP. I even tried to directly copying my auth info for the ISP from my box to his (so he would be sending as me) and I got this same error. Have I missed a configuration setting somewhere? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't tell you which grey is most suitable but I can tell you how I
go about choosing a colour.
Install: x11/rgb
Then:
$ showrgb | less
will give you the names of the 256 websafe colours and their rgb
values.
I usually check out the colours by:
$ xterm -bg DarkSalmon
etc.
Alternatively, you can use css and set an html pages bg properties:
style type=text/css
body{
background-color: rgb(233,150,122);
}
/style

Thanks for this. I'll check it out when I'm less crushed! Just
one note to the list (in case anybody else it looking for
attractive/fitting #xx codes): dark, black-ish blue #33
is very good and pleasant on the eyes; #66 even more so.
I'm still open to the bg color. The display white is not true,
paper-white. Anyway, pretty sure the ink+paper publishers have
their own [[ BETTER ]] ideas. I'm looking for what looks good on
the web.

how do I disable the generation of XOFFs when using tip over a serial port to another device
Dear Sirs, I have connected one of the RS232 ports of my PC with FreeBSD (v6.3) on it to a device that does not understand XON/XOFF flow control. I run the tip program to connect to that device. How do I configure tip and/or the serial port so that the FreeBSD PC will NOT send XOFFs or XONs to the device? When I run: stty -a -f /dev/cuad0 where /dev/cuad0 is the device associated with the port, it outputs (among other things): iflags: ... ixon -ixoff ... From my reading of the stty man page, I would think that means the port is already configured to not send XOFFs. Is there something I need to do to /etc/remote to tell tip to not enable XON/XOFF?

Hi folks, Does anyone knows if the latest mini Dell computer will be compatible with our favorite system? http://www.cio-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=61697 From what I can read It is based on: - a Processeur Intel® AtomTM (1,6 GHz, memory cache L2 de 512 Ko, FSB de 533 MHz) - Chipset Intel® 965PM / GM Express It can be shipped with Ubuntu. So my simple question is: will It be compatible with FreeBSD 7.x ?? I know the hardware list here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/hardware.html#PROC-I386 but no link to either Atom or 965PM could be found… Is it bad news doctor?

In ps is in /bin, top is in /usr/bin ; unless you a) have your PATH wrong or b) commonly put /bin on separate file systems, you should be able to use ps and others in /bin and /sbin. addition,from the CLI; when I attempt to start services such as 'portmap' and 'sshd' nothing is shown running via 'ps'. All I see are the headers when I issue th 'ps aux' command. Are your world and kernel matched? This is a failed 4.x to 5.x upgrade which I really don't want to address any further. Currently, as a last effort to save this 'current' install I'm doing a 'make buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel and installworld as we speak. Should this fail I'll continue with the topic of this discussion = while in single-user mode, start enough services to use 'scp' and 'mv' curcial files over to another machine thereafter do a fresh install on the failed box in question. I'm sure its possible to do what I'm attempting, but given the crippled situation of this box, I'm stuck in Single-user mode and need to start enough services that will allow the use of 'scp' in order to move some zipped/crucial files from the crippled box to another machine on the same network. Until now I've tried fsck -p ; mount -u / ; mount -a -t ufs ; swapon -a We will try your suggestions once the building finishes (on it own) to first see if the new build process has fixed everything (multi-user) that was broken and if not, we'll follow your recommendation(s). When you enter single user mode, root file system is mounted read-only so one of the first things you need to do is mount -u -o rw /. Next, you need to mount your other file systems (/usr is usually a separate file system and that's where ssh lives) so do mount -a. At this point you might as well cancel the single-user mode by exiting the shell and go multi-user. If there are file system errors. mount -a will fail and you'll need to mount other file systems by hand. The only errors or warnings we've experienced where listed in the 4.x to 5.x section of the 5.5 /usr/src/UPDATING file with reference to 'userland' The UPDATING said to ignore these errors. Obviously something is seriously wrong with that section on updating from 4.x to 5.x Enough said, we'll post one way or the other once the build is done. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
