Re: What is correct way to enable watchdog?
No, meaning, if a system is unresponsive for 300 seconds, action will be taken. watchdogd will not prevent proper reboots, panics or power failures. Bad wording on my part. What you said is what I meant, and I assume the default action is to reboot the system? Panic, or overheating. Check the dumpdev/dumpdir variables in rc.conf(5). We don't have dumpdev/dumpdir configured in rc.conf. I'll do that. What makes us suspicious is that we have been running this stress test on systems for months without any reboots. We then enable the 300 second watchdog and two systems spontaneously reboot. We've turned it off again and have restarted the stress test and so far no reboots. What we want to know is are these reboots occurring as a result of a watchdog reboot? Is any kind of system log created when the watchdog reboots a system? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

20090216:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delp...@freebsd.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.14, which requires a shared
library version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all
ports depending on it. Run something like:
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client

Re: What is correct way to enable watchdog?
If -e cmd is not specified, the daemon will perform a trivial file system check instead. So -e has to be provided for the system to reboot? That doesn't seem to jive with our experience. When we first enabled the watchdog, we just went with the defaults--no -e command. The default for the timeout is 16 seconds. We started getting reboots regularly until we increased this value. We decided we didn't need anything as agressive as 16 seconds and went instead with 300 seconds. We still see the reboots, but nowhere near as frequently. This smells more like a bug in watchdog. If that's the case, the crash dumps should point right at it, at which point I'd take it to freebsd-stable or -current, whichever applies to the OS version. Okay, we'll enable dumpdev/dumpdir and see what we get. With 300 seconds though, a system would have to be truly dead before a reboot should occur. But our own application logs show that only four minutes elapsed from the last log we recorded to the first log we recorded after the reboot. Considering it takes 2-3 minutes for a system to boot and our application to start running after the boot, I would think we should see a span of at least 7 minutes in our logs where nothing is recorded. However, the span is only about 4 minutes, which is more or less the same as we'd get if someone went by the box and hit the reset button. So it doesn't look like the watchdog is behaving properly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Determining scancodes for obscure keyboard to modify keymap
I'm wondering how to go about determining the scancodes for keys on keypress. I am looking to remap an apple usb keyboard (a1048). It has F13-16, 3 volume control keys and an eject key but no scroll lock, num lock, pause/break, etc. I'm wondering how I would go about changing some of these not so useful keys into useful keys. The keymap files in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps seem easy enough to modify but I am unsure of how to determine what the scancodes associated with the actual keys on keypress are. As an interesting aside: in x, control + option (alt) + backspace works to terminate x yet control + option (alt) + Fn (F1, F2, etc.) does not work to switch back to the virtual terminals. dmesg.out Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

cups-pdf does not print
Hello, I need a whole lot of help with cups-pdf. I've been wrestling with this for about a week without success. There are no error messages when test page printed from CUPS web admin but no output either; there are no error messages from Windows, which is how I plan to use the PDF printer. CUPS works fine with other printers. thanks Cam This is how I set up the cups-pdf printer in the web admin page: device: CUPS-PDF (virtual PDF printer) make: Generic. There is no 'Postscript' option per the Readme file (http://cups-pdf.de) model: Generic-CUPS-PDF printer. There is no 'color Postscript' option. cups-pdf.conf is all default values, except these lines, which are now commented: Out /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs AnonDirName /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs I use these /etc/devfs.rules: [system=10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups Error log from setting up the printer 'server_PDF' - what is the significance of the inability to write to /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat ?

As Patrick said, you need to dig into the OS keyboard driver to solve the problem when working on the console. On Linux it is easier there are commands to detect and remap scancodes. Getting those keys working under X is still another problem, it may be that you have to hack the keyboard controller of the X server to do that. In other words, it is extremely inconvenient. Windows works directly with scancodes and they can be remapped in the registry, with all the problems this entails. On the other hand one can find scancode documentation on Microsoft site.

In all other cases where this has appeared, it has been eventually disgnosed as annoying but harmless. Unless hard evidence to the contrary appears, look for problem elsewhere.
