128 Bucket Failures?
I have asked this before a couple of years ago but received no replies. I assumed that's because it's a somewhat obscure question. I'm still interested and thought I might try again in case someone new is watching this list who might know. A vmstat -z on my highest traffic server always shows the failures as below on 128 Bucket. It also goes to having 0 free rather soon after the system is restarted and never returns to having more than 1 free in that column and yet always has the highest number of requests by far. Does this mean anything significant? Is it something I should tune or even can be tuned? Here is the output of the vmstat -z with everything chopped out besides the 128 Bucket line. The machine it's on is an 8 core 8 GB Tyan and shouldn't really be starved for anything in my way of thinking. vmstat -z ITEM SIZE LIMIT USED FREE REQUESTS FAILURES 128 Bucket: 1048,0, 2043,0, 13591, 6511069 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using grep to search a repository
Hi to all the list,
i have a project with a lot of bash scripts in a folder hierarchy.I
haven't wrote the project myself so many times i have to search for
the definition of a function. For this purpose i decided to use grep
{recursively}.
The problem is that the project is an svn repository... so grep
returns results from .svn and it is really messes up the outcome of
grep. I tried bypassing the problem using the `--exclude=file_pattern'
but since its use is for files not directories it doesn't work So
the questions are:
1) Can i bypass certain directories{i.e. '.svn' or 'log/'}, using
grep? {or a combination of tools + grep}
2) Is there any other tool you would use for this job?
thanks in advance for your help,
-nicolas
PS: if it matters i prefer using gnu grep.

RE: Question on creating a video server
-Original Message- On Behalf Of Drew Tomlinson Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Hi All, OK, I'm just asking for opinions here on some application software. Like most people we have a nice big 21 TV set that will be obsolete in Feb. I have been thinking about replacing this with a big screen TV set but the prices on them are still way, way way out of my budget (I just can't see spending $500 for a TV set, sorry) ... Has anyone done this with FreeBSD and open source software, and has recommendations on what hardware to get and what software works with it? I've read the thread and have to vote for a Linux install and MythTV. It will do everything you require rather well. I started down the FBSD path for a PVR and quickly ran into trouble back in 2006. From what I understand, it hasn't gotten much better due to the driver issues. Anyway, next I tried building MythTV on Fedora Core as it seemed to be a popular platform and Jerrod Wilson had a nice guide. Being from the FBSD world where the ports system worked so well, I quickly found myself in rpm hell, especially when Fedora Core didn't support my SCSI card at the time. I found a nice home with Gentoo Linux as it's portage system is much like ports. This is strange. Time-Warner cable has already told us we don't need to replace any of our TV sets. They will continue to work just fine. Since there are no over the air channels available in our area, we aren't affected by the switch to digital. But then we've always known that Ithaca (NY) is centrally isolated. B-) I would suggest taking a look at Mythdora (Myth TV on Fedora) I have been using it for nearly a year now, with a Hauppauge PVR-350 card. The CPU is an Intel dual core with 2G RAM and a 250 GB SATA drive. If you want automatic scheduling, it does require a paid subscription to one of the online schedule services. I don't use that, so I don't recall the name right now. It automatically records programs while you view them. This is so the pause, rewind and slow motion features will work. Recorded and viewed programs are stored as MP4 files, taking about 2.2 GB per hour. It will automatically delete recorded files after 24 hours, or not, your choice when you schedule the recording. vlc works very well for playback. I have also set up samba on it, so I can read and write files over my home network. Yes, I can set up and monitor it remotely. It installed Apache and a handful of web pages with full access to the scheduler. There is also an option for an IR remote control. The PVR-350 can output to a standard analog TV if you don't like the smaller computer display. There is a separate antenna input for FM radio. I haven't played with that one. My only significant complaint is that it requires MySQL. I would prefer PostgreSQL, since that is less proprietary and one of the systems I deal with at work.

Re: Question on creating a video server
[ This discussion is probably better suited for -multimedia@ than -questions@ ] I can pick up really high quality, large, old-style video monitors from a computer surplus place near here for next to nothing. If these were for workstations rather than pee-cees, they might be composite sync or sync-on-green, and some video cards do not support them. :-( Some video cards have s-video out. There are boxes available that convert VGA to NTSC. I don't know how well they work. Note that decoding high definition video needs a lot of cpu if you are decoding in the cpu. Having Xv and XvMC offloads some of the work to the video card. I'm not aware of FreeBSD having support for these. :-( If it does, someone please let us know. OpenBSD 4.4 has a openchrome driver which claims Xv and XvMC. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=openchromesektion=4 Note that *recording* digital TV takes vary little cpu, and isn't a problem for modern disks. It is decoding for playback that is the problem. Recording analog TV requires encoding, which requires a lot of cpu, or a hardware encoder. Digital TV is encoded at the TV station. If you have a DV camcorder you can convert the OTA mpeg2ts to DV format with ffmpeg, then ship it to the camcorder with firewire and the camcorder will convert it to NTSC and drive your TV. There are Ethernet-to-TV boxes. These have problems/limitations, so do your research and make sure it does everything you want and isn't buggy. If someone knows of one that works well with BSD and does a good job with freeze/slow/fast effects, I'd like to hear about it. If there are other methods of getting video from a BSD box to a TV, someone please let us know. I'd like to setup a PC and put a HDTV tuner card in it for over-the-air HDTV broadcasts, and use that as a TV. Couple of advantages to this method: computer tuners tend to provide more info which can be useful when debugging reception problems, and computer tuners give you recording capability like a VCR. For tuners, first decide if you want PCI card, PCIe card, Ethernet, Firewire, USB. Then see what you can find a BSD driver for. Ethernet doesn't need a special device driver, assuming you have Ethernet. Not sure about Firewire tuners. For PCI cards, there are FreeBSD drivers by John-Mark Gurney and Jason Harmening. Anish Mistry was/is working on a USB driver, I don't know what the current status is. Most computer tuners are PCI, but newer computers come with fewer and fewer PCI slots. They are even building mainboards with zero PCI slots (PCIe only). So Ethernet, Firewire and USB tuners have an advantage of not needing a PCI slot. They will even work with laptops. And you can have several tuners for those times when they schedule 4-5 good shows all at the same time (rare but it happens). Beware that the very small tuners without the tin can RF tuner are likely to have more reception problems than a tuner with a proper tin can RF tuner. ATSC reception does not degrade gracefully like NTSC. And there isn't enough safety factor. So get the best antennas you can find, and good quality well shielded coax. Having more than one make/model of tuner can be helpful. For UHF you might need to try both an 8-bay and a yagi antenna. (The don't make 8-bay for VHF, they would be way too large.) Software: mplayer, xine, ffmpeg, and so on. Jason Harmening's cx88 driver comes with an app for recording. You can schedule recordings with at(1). If you like the giant bloatware approach there is myth. We also have a ton of DVD's and I'd like to rip these to video files and put them on the PC. Then you will need a ton of disk space. If you like to archive TV shows you will need a ton of disk space. } Why not just get a digital converter and keep using your nice TV? Pro: these supposedly have the newest and best demodulator chips which should mean better reception, but don't count on it. There is more to these things than just the demod chip. Cons: if you want to record, you'd have to kludge something up. If your TV suffers from dot-crawl, you'll want s-video rather than composite or RF, and CECBs with s-video are rare. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Will | anything break as a result? It's certainly possible to insist on SSLv3 or TLSv1 for SSL connections, and nothing[*] will break. The client and server will negotiate to find a mutually acceptable cipher and protocol level at the point of making the connection. For apache2 the magic wording is: ~SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 Note that this is conceptually distinct from choosing the cipher to use -- many of the SSLv2 ciphers are also available under SSLv3, but there's a structural problem SSLv2 which means a cipher perfectly acceptable under v3 can be broken under v2. Even so, there are a bunch of pretty useless ciphers our there, Anything with a key length less than about 40bits is essentially trivially crackable nowadays using a desktop PC. 56bit is crackable to someone with the resources of the NSA. To control the ciphers Apache allows, use something like: ~ SSLCipherSuite RSA:!EXP:!NULL:-SSLv2:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW This can combine choosing the protocol level with choosing the allowable ciphers into one handy string, if you include the appropriate terms, and if done that way means you don't also need the 'SSLProtocol' item above. Most applications that use openssl to provide crypto will let you enter a string like that somewhere. You can see what Ciphers a cipher-spec equates to by eg.: % openssl ciphers -ssl3 -v 'RSA:\!EXP:\!NULL:-SSLv2:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW' CAMELLIA256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=Camellia(256) Mac=SHA1 CAMELLIA128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=Camellia(128) Mac=SHA1 AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 AES128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA1 DES-CBC3-SHASSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1 RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1 RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=MD5 This setting is known to work well with recent versions of Firefox and IE. The ciphers(1) man page will give you the gory details. Exactly how and where you specify the Cipher string depends on the software you're using.

qmail on debian to qmail on freebsd
Hi all Greetings to all, this is my first time installation of freebsd, i am going to use this installation for my mail server obviously qmail+ldap. I have a bit of fear to go ahead on it, can anyone clarify please? Previous Qmail installation is on debian 3.x and the installation is based on http://www.shupp.org/toaster/, Now i want to move to a better hardware and ofcourse updated user friendly and uptodate OS. here i opted for freebsd and qmail 1.03 along with this i want to meet users addressbook issue, so i thought of going behind ldap and mysql, (guide me if i am wrong). My doubts are earlier the Mailbox and the cleartext vpasswd are bit scaring me, so i would like to use mysql in place without disturbing any of the users mail addresses, ( i have close to 32gb of data's in mailbox's and some mailing list+forwards). also would like to procure password change option securely. How can i make this migration smoothly with the help of freebsd? please ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: trouble getting x11 xdm to work
Next question is are the xdm configuration files suppose to work as delivered by the port install AS IS? As a default config demo? Yes. When I said 'range', I did mean range. Not 2 possibilities. Missing libraries, tainted environment, typos, tied up resources, tight security settings, existing pid file, xdm not being xdm but an aliased command or shell script sooner up in the path - that's just from the top of my head. I installed xorg as a package. Then installed xfce package. Made no config changes to xorg or the xdm config files. At this point i suspect the port of xorg as not being configured correctly. That the default xdm config files have statement error causing xdm not to function. So the big question is has anybody installed the release 7.1 package version of xorg and was able to get xdm to function without any config file changes? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I really don't want to lose the data on here if I can help it: # newfs -N /dev/da0 /dev/da0: 239372.4MB (490234752 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 1303 cylinder groups of 183.77MB, 11761 blks, 23552 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 376512, 752864, 1129216, 1505568, 1881920, 2258272, 2634624, 3010976, 3387328, 3763680, 4140032, 4516384, 4892736, 5269088, 5645440, 6021792, 6398144, 6774496, 7150848, 7527200, 7903552, 8279904, 8656256, 9032608, 9408960, 9785312, 10161664, 10538016, 10914368, 11290720, 11667072, 12043424, 12419776, 12796128, 13172480, 13548832, 13925184, 14301536, 14677888, 15054240, 15430592, 15806944, 16183296, 16559648, 16936000, 17312352, 17688704, 18065056, 18441408, 18817760, 19194112, 19570464, 19946816, 20323168, [loads more] I know that fsck doesn't see -b, so, using fsck_ufs: fsck_ufs -b 160 /dev/da0 Alternate super block location: 160 ** /dev/da0 160 is not a file system superblock # fsck_ufs -b 376512 /dev/da0 Alternate super block location: 376512 ** /dev/da0 376512 is not a file system superblock # fsck_ufs -b 752864 /dev/da0 Alternate super block location: 752864 ** /dev/da0 752864 is not a file system superblock # fsck_ufs -b 1129216 /dev/da0 Alternate super block location: 1129216 ** /dev/da0 1129216 is not a file system superblock # fsck_ufs -b 1505568 /dev/da0 Alternate super block location: 1505568 ** /dev/da0 1505568 is not a file system superblock # fsck_ufs -b 1881920 /dev/da0 Alternate super block location: 1881920 ** /dev/da0 1881920 is not a file system superblock ...so 3 questions really: 1. is there a way to tell which ones are really superblock backups? There are thousands. 2. if they're not superblock backups, then why does newfs -N say they are? 3. is the disk just hosed? thanks -- John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

xauth failure when tunneling over ssh

Re: Disallowing ssl2
It's certainly possible to insist on SSLv3 or TLSv1 for SSL connections, and nothing[*] will break. The client and server will negotiate to find a mutually acceptable cipher and protocol level at the point of making the connection. This seems to be less painful than I was anticipating... Besides apache, I had to figure out how to boost the security on IMAP and POP 3 connections. I'm using Courier, so this was pretty simple... just added the following to the imap and pop ssl config files: TLS_CIPHER_LIST=HIGH:MEDIUM:!SSLv2:!LOW:!EXP:!aNULL:@STRENGTH I'm going to resubmit the server... hopefully it will pass this time.

Tomcat Debugging (OT most likely)
Hey all, This question is probably best suited for tomcat-users, but being this is an a FBSD machine I'd figure I'd ask here first. I have a client running apache w/ tomcat serving thousands of requests per second. It works, but with one caveat, pages load extremely slowly. When I first saw the request, I figured this client was running into some kind of resource bottleneck, but that's where my problems started. I'm unable to find any resource that is being starved. I turn to `the mighty list` for guidance. This particular machine is running FreeBSD 6.2. It has a bce network card that currently connected to a GigE switch with a 10G uplink. Even with all this available bandwidth, this client's application *currently* is not doing any more than 50Mb/sec. :: Rule out network congestion.

How to use nspluginwrapper

Re: Tomcat Debugging (OT most likely)
Paul Procacci wrote: Hey all, This question is probably best suited for tomcat-users, but being this is an a FBSD machine I'd figure I'd ask here first. I have a client running apache w/ tomcat serving thousands of requests per second. It works, but with one caveat, pages load extremely slowly. When I first saw the request, I figured this client was running into some kind of resource bottleneck, but that's where my problems started. I'm unable to find any resource that is being starved.

Re: trouble getting x11 xdm to work
My /etc/ttys looks like this ttyv6 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv7 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure #ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm off secure #ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure The init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8 msg has stopped. When I start xdm from root command line nothing happens. NO error log msgs, nothing. F1 thru F12 just issue the freebsd console logon prompt. My understanding is when /etc/ttys contains this statement ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure followed by a kill -HUP 1 command to reread tyys file the following should happen. F1 thru F8 virtual consoles work as normal (ie: freebsd console logon prompt). F9 thru F12 virtual consoles will show the xdm logon screen. To make xdm the system default logon method have to add xdm_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf and reboot. Then only the xdm logon screen will be seen on all virtual consoles F1 thru F12. A ctrl+alt+backspace key sequence is the only way to force a return to the freebsd console logon prompt for the Fx virtual console being used. Is this the correct interpretation of how xdm is designed to function?? I can not find in man xdm or xorg website or handbook an explanation of how it's suppose work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linux has no problem running #!/bin/sh scripts because there's a symlink /bin/sh - /bin/bash. My advice for maximum interoperability and compatibility between Linux and UNIX: If you're not using any bash specific techniques in your scripts, start them with #!/bin/sh instead of #!/bin/bash.
