Re: Filesystem, RAID Question
Jeremy Chadwick wrote: The RAID card itself may have a BBU, so during loss of power any cached data *on the card* will be attempt to be flushed to disk... except the PC (including hard disks -- unless they're powered from some other source) is already down/offline by this point. And let's not forget that the OS/kernel is also gone, which means any writes which were sitting in cached memory in the kernel are lost as well. For some reason people think that a H/W RAID card with a BBU guarantees data integrity (keyword: guarantees). I'm still trying to understand why people think that. Pending writes in the BBU-backed RAM will be completed when the machine reboots. The assumption is that the machine will be rebooted within a few hours, before the battery runs down. Given that limitation, data in BBU-backed cache can be regarded as committed to permanent (or more accurately: /persistent/) storage. Data in OS-level caches will be lost, yes. But this is the point of softupdates. It reorders the instructions for writing data/metadata to disk so that the data on disk remains consistent -- you may loose some data in transit, but your disk contents will still be consistent. Journalling achieves a similar effect in a different way -- recording a changelog onto non-volatile storage which can later be played out to bring the stored data into the correct state, However, given that any access to rotating magnetic media is going to take about 1000x longer than access to main RAM, there's always going to be uncommitted filesystem changes in RAM that will be lost if the machine suddenly looses power or otherwise fails. Until there is a persistent storage medium with something like the timing characteristics of RAM, that effect is simply unavoidable. The only strategy you can employ is to provide uninterruptible power supplies, and choose hardware and OS wisely, so that unexpected system failures are minimized. Sometimes you can benefit from having multiple machines and multiple copies of your data, but this is not always possible.

I'm not sure you suffers from the same problem but there was a Tx checksum offload related bug in msk(4) driver and it was fixed in HEAD. How about applying the diff in CVS rev 1.33 of if_msk? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/msk/if_msk.c.diff?r1=1.32;r2=1.33;f=h Would love to have a crack at this but have never 'applied diffs' before?! I am guessing I look in to the source for the msk module, find line 2601, add the code in the green box, then remake the module and copy over the existing one? If theres a step by step to the correct procedure I'd appreciate pointers. As an aside I went back and added -txcsum -rxcsum whlist using the msk module and that also worked.

fastest raw device copy?

Cannot login to root account on FreeBSD 7.0
Hey there, I am a user of FreeBSD-7.0 and I must say that I am really impressed with it, I must admit though that I used to be(still am) a Linux user, so the switch wasn't that easy but I managed to do it with help from the FreeBSD handbook(My thanks go to the authors of that excellent guide). But now I've faced a big problem, I can no longer seem to login to the root account where whenever I supply the proper credentials to the login screen, I always get thrown back to the login screen. This started happening after I installed D-bus and HAL through the FreeBSD ports which were built upon Xorg 1.5.1 which I had built myself previously, so I am wondering if something I did may have caused the problem.

CUPS wont print inside GNOME
I have the latest GNOME installed from ports and have the odd issue of CUPS not wanting to work with it right. If i access the CUPS web configuration page, i can print test pages just fine and not a single issue, but if i try and print a test page from inside GNOME, including trying with the gnome-cups-manager port, it will stop and present the following error /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failedthis error will carry over to the web interface and those jobs are pretty much hosed, yet i can create a test print from web interface even when this error is present. I do notice that test pages from web interface come from user anonymous whereas test pages from gnome-cups-manager are from the respected user that ran it. even root is unable to print from inside gnome. -Sean ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards, Pramod Dematagoda First, please post the output of `uname -a`. It'd be useful to know when you grabbed sources last, if you've built your own world at all, as well. This information is necessary before we continue. Also please post the output from the commands `ls -l /bin/csh` and `md5 /bin/csh`. While in sh, if you type /bin/csh to run csh, does it crash, or does it seem proper? If it seems proper, try and few commands and see if it still does. If it crashes, let's try some debugging. You should have a csh.core file, probably in /root. Run the command `gdb /bin/csh /root/csh.core` (replacing /root/csh.core to whatever path csh.core is in, if it's not in /root), and post the output to this list along with everything else I've asked for. Do that now. If that still doesn't work, I'm going to tell you to...

The default (512) is too small for what you want, but 10MBytes is silly. Not only that, but 1000 isn't even correct - it needs to be a multiple of sector size. Generally, using suffixes will do the right thing: dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/da0 bs=1m OK, I understand that 1000 isn't good, I just thought it wouldn't harm. But if it is a transfer rate killer then I'd better think of typing ^C now. The command is running for 6 hours now. Six hours? Hmm... That seems too long, but of course the FreeBSD USB stack is involved, and a USB device in general. I would have assumed that copy should have finished after 2-3 hours tops. 2-3 hours is about the *minimum* amount of time needed to read all of a large modern disk - and that is when you do the transfer over SATA/IDE. Over USB it will be significantly slower. A modern, fairly fast disk has an average sequential transfer rate of around 60MB/s (higher on the outer tracks, and lower on the innermost track, but the average will come out to about that.) Assume a 500GB disk. Then we get 500GB/(60MB/s) = 500*1000/60 s = 8333s = 2h18min to read all of it. Over USB you probably will not get much more than 20-25MB/s. 20MB/s is exactly a third of the 60MB/s we used earlier gives a total time of 3*(2h18min) ~= 7h. Those 6 hours do not sound unreasonable at all. (All of this assumes just reading the disk from start to end. If you need to seek back and forth it will take even longer.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

There should be in indication in /var/log/messages or /var/log/auth.log. I checked /var/log/messages, and I found something interesting, it seems that csh exits with signal 11(core dumped) right after a root login, there is nothing out of the ordinary in auth.log. But now what do I do to fix the problem, change the shell? Yeowzers. Change it to /bin/sh for now. Once you're back up, it'd be interesting to debug this. Would you like to? - mdh I found something a bit more interesting, csh crashes regardless of the user account to which it is used for, so something is wrong with csh itself and not the root account. Regards, Pramod Dematagoda First, please post the output of `uname -a`. It'd be useful to know when you grabbed sources last, if you've built your own world at all, as well. This information is necessary before we continue. Also please post the output from the commands `ls -l /bin/csh` and `md5 /bin/csh`. While in sh, if you type /bin/csh to run csh, does it crash, or does it seem proper? If it seems proper, try and few commands and see if it still does. If it crashes, let's try some debugging. You should have a csh.core file, probably in /root. Run the command `gdb /bin/csh /root/csh.core` (replacing /root/csh.core to whatever path csh.core is in, if it's not in /root), and post the output to this list along with everything else I've asked for. Do that now. If that still doesn't work, I'm going to tell you to... Build it for debugging. cd to the directory /usr/src/bin/csh, and run the following commands: `CFLAGS='-ggdb' make`, then run `make install`. No, we don't do that.

The apparent disagreement was why I said anything in the first place; it sounds like there's more than one model of how the game works. I understand the confusion. Here's the actual protocol that the game appears to be using (since the OP has stated forwarding a port range to his LAN PC solves the problem -- meaning, his original description of how the game protocol worked is accurate): windows= 192.168.x.x machine on the LAN natgwlan = private LAN-facing IP of FreeBSD box (e.g. gateway IP) natgwwan = public Internet-facing IP of FreeBSD box gameserver = game server (public Internet IP) * = randomly-allocated port number gameport = some static port # for the game (OP hasn't disclosed this) range = some specific range of port numbers (OP says 1000-1) This is what would happen if the windows machine was on the Internet directly (no NAT, no firewall): Step 1) windows:* -- gameserver:gameport Step 2) gameserver:* -- windows:range Note that the randomly-allocated port number is *not* identical between all of the above steps; literally each is a new port and unrelated to the previous -- hence why state tracking won't work. Now with NAT in the way, this is what happens for Step 1: windows:* -- natgwlan natgwwan:* -- gameserver:gameport Once the TCP handshake is completed for Step 1, the following happens as a result of Step 2 -- again, note this is a *brand new connection* being initiated from the gameserver: gameserver:* -- natgwwan:range The problem is that these are all brand new connections being initiated, and there's no way to cross-reference them, which is why state tracking won't work to solve the OPs problem. The port triggering method I described above, commonly available on residential routers, is configured so that once the TCP handshake is completed in Step 1, the router/natgw *immediately* adds a port forward and firewall allow/pass rule (you have to configure it to say what port range to forward, and what LAN IP to forward the packets to). Thus, the following would happen immediately after the TCP handshake was completed in Step 1: - natgw adds a firewall pass rule for natgwwan:range - natgw adds a forwarding rule for natgwwan:1000 -- windows, where the port number matches (e.g. natgwwan:1000 -- windows:1000) This pass/allow rule and the forward remains intact until the port triggered connection is severed (FIN or expired). It does not expire/close based upon the connection made in Step 1. This would allow Step to work, and would look like this with NAT in the way: gameserver:* -- natgwwan:range natgwlan -- windows:range This is as verbose as I can get, and based upon the forwarding and the firewall rules the OP added, this does appear to be the protocol the game uses. And yes, this is a *horrible* protocol, completely NAT- unfriendly. The only part that confuses me is how the gameserver knows what port number

Use this syntax (both equivalent): su - root su -l root You do have to specify the user with -l. Perhaps the man page could clarify that.

If not you might want to try that first. Restart Apache and see if it no longer shows the Python 2.4.4. As far as the Python environment(s), you may want to ensure that all vestiges of the old python24 are truly gone (especially prior to rebuilding mod_python). You may also try and find confirmation somehow whether or not the code that is failing on the web server is even compatible with python25. In such a case either update the failing code or downgrade back to python24. If the server is production and you just need it back up fast you may consider returning it to its pre-python25 upgrade condition. Then conduct your python25 experimentation on a non-production test box. Before any major change of this sort I _always_ do backup dumps of my server.

Authentication with SSH using public keys
Hi, My father recently setup a new 7.0-Release system for some web development. I use ssh to login remotely. I've normally not had any trouble configuring authentication through public key encryption using ssh-keygen and such. I have for myself a id_rsa.pub and an id_rsa key pair that I use for this purpose. Normally, I just copy, via scp, the file id_rsa.pub to my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the remote host and the next time I attempt a login all is well. That is, I don't have to enter my password. However, on my Dad's new machine, this isn't the case. I still have to enter the password. Now, I've looked through his /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and nothing in there looks odd, or different, from other remote hosts I do this on. So, I'm embedding a copy/paste of an ssh login session on my father's host using -v -v to ssh: [/usr/home/andy/MCH] - ssh -v -v malumgat OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110, OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to malumgat [24.59.91.121] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/andy/.ssh/identity type -1 debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-BEGIN' debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-END' debug1: identity file /home/andy/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/andy/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: ssh-dss,ssh-rsa debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour128,arcfour256,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour128,arcfour256,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,[EMAIL PROTECTED],zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,[EMAIL PROTECTED],zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: first_kex_follows 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: reserved 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: ssh-dss debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour128,arcfour256,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour128,arcfour256,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,[EMAIL PROTECTED] debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,[EMAIL PROTECTED] debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: first_kex_follows 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: reserved 0 debug2: mac_init: found hmac-md5 debug1: kex: server-client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug2: mac_init: found hmac-md5 debug1: kex: client-server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(102410248192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug2: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 132/256 debug2: bits set: 526/1024 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'malumgat' is known and matches the DSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/andy/.ssh/known_hosts:9 debug2: bits set: 494/1024 debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature correct debug2: kex_derive_keys debug2: set_newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug2: set_newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug2: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug2: key: /home/andy/.ssh/identity (0x0) debug2: key: /home/andy/.ssh/id_rsa (0x5308a0) debug2: key: /home/andy/.ssh/id_dsa (0x0) debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/andy/.ssh/identity debug1:

Re: almost OT os x
Kalin, Did you add a specific route for the alternative network? I know this may sound crazy but for whatever reason Macs don't override the default route automatically. You would think that any attached ethernet device would be considered a best route to that LAN however I have had experience otherwise. i did. with the interface. but that apparently doesn't matter. a few tests with route get were enough to realize that the B network is not really having it's own default route. so i just switched the cards around. now en0 is the external ip and en1 is the 192.168.x.x. and the default route is the one for the B network... it works a desired now thanks for the idea Cheers, Mikel King CEO, Olivent Technologies Senior Editor, Daemon News Columnist, BSD Magazine 6 Alpine Court Medford, NY 11763 http://www.olivent.com http://www.daemonnews.org http://www.bsdmag.org skype: mikel.king +--+ How do you spell cooperation?

crons and syslogd not running
Hi, I upgraded from 5.5 to 6.3, and I've noticed that many of my cronjobs defined in /etc/crontab don't seem to be running anymore. I have nightly jobs that obviously aren't running, and /var/log/cron makes no mention of them. Looking for logs, I found syslogd down, although cron was up. Any idea of where I should look? Stability problems in syslogd? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...

And no, I've never experienced any stability problems with syslogd on FreeBSD (any version; 2.2.8 through 7.1). Otherwise, I'd say the upgrade may have gone awry at one particular stage of your upgrade. If the problem doesn't recur, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
