Can any one give any sugestion ? Stupid question, but if you connect the 2 Linux boxes directly (without the FreeBSD bridge in between) can they ping eachother? Are you using properly crossed cables? On the FreeBSD box, you can tcpdump(8) and see the packets moving: tcpdump -i sk0 and tcpdump -i sk1 and you will see the pick request and ping echo packets.

Re: Bridging-(How to test and verify that bridging is enabled)
Hi, Are you using properly crossed cables? Isnt it enough check for the that two linux can ping each other.. Yes and no. You must used crossed Ethernet cable between your FreeBSD bridge and each of your Linux boxes. As someone suggested, what is ifconfig saying on the FreeBSD box? You should see that both sk0 and sk1 have a status: active. Else it means you have a cable problem. An example of ifconfig for a bridge (FreeBSD 4.xx): fxp0: flags=89c3UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:07:e9:xx:xx:xx media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active fxp1: flags=89c3UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:07:e9:yy:yy:yy media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active Once you make sure that both interfaces on your FreeBSD box are up and running, you can procced to the next step: On the FreeBSD box=2C you can tcpdump(8) and see the packets moving: tcpdump -i sk0 and tcpdump -i sk1 and you will see the pick request and ping echo packets. it says arp: who has 192.168.0.4 tell 192.168.0.5 You'd need to give more information about your connection; something like: Linux 192.168.0.4 --- sk0 FreeBSD sk1 --- Linux 192.168.0.5 And you should also specify if ou where tcpdump'ing on interface sk0 or sk1. Once your bridge is working, you will get the same thing for tcpdump on both interfaces.

Don't miss the make depend. I want to say the issue must have something to do with the fact that there's no environment variables that specify the include directories.

If you do not agree, you are requested to return the software. Presumably, the retail materials contain this agreement, and I'm sure there is digital copy that is presented and must be agreed to before use. I'm sure that Apple has very good lawyers who drafted the license agreements and are aware of Swedish law. While what you are doing may or may not be in violation of any licenses, your position that clicking yes or no is not a handshake or oral agreement acording to Swedish law seems dubious and ill-advised. Consider what you're suggesting: If EULA's and license agreements simply weren't valid in Sweden, then what would prevent massive piracy from occuring? I would assume that if license agreements in Sweden weren't enforcable, someone would be setting up their own software copying business. ...and if that happened, I would expect software companies to change their license agreements in order to prevent it.

Re: Ports on Macbook
Oh, that didn't go to the list, did it. I should actually read where I send stuff to, well, anyway. Suse was bought by Novell a while back as you probably know, but as far as I know the Suse team still is located in Nuernberg over here in Germany. They're programmers/geeks whichever you prefer to call it, not lawyers. So chances are they didn't know about this either when they started out, but considering that Yast was closed source for a while they probably found out soon.

Re: ata-raid.c patch for ICH7 RAID1
I can't actually apply this patch to FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. It seems ataraid is something not to be used in FreeBSD so I have started to use gmirror instead. Only downside of it is there are 2 disks shown in boot loader not one so if F1 (first disk goes) goes you have to manually select other disk just for one time.

Re: SpamAssassin/Perl eating enormous amounts of memory?
Andrew Moran wrote: [...] Has anyone heard of this? Or any pointers on what I can do to figure out what is causing it? Your advice is much appreciated. As an alternative: You could try mail/mimedefang. It calls spamassassin to evaluate an e-mail but without having it running all the time. This can solve your problem of running out of memory. For instance, sendmail could be the first line of defence with its own rules (rDNS, noMX, RBLs and what not). Then mimedefang with a set of rules to further reject dodgy e-mails (helo/ehlo, spoofings, SPF and so on). After that, spamassassin comes into play (controlled by mimedefang), but only at the end as a last line of defence. By the time it gets to the end, a lion's share has already been rejected and that means less work for spamassassin. I hope this helps.

The easiest way to do what you are attempting is to format the disk FAT. Then to preserve file attributes write your files in a tar archive. MacOS X knows UFS but might not know how to decipher a FreeBSD disk label. I haven't honestly tried. What I did do once was move a couple of drives previously used as a vinum striped RAID to MacOS X. Was frustrated that the MacOS Drive Utility would not allow me to create another striped volume on those drives. What I found out was that the drives had a Microsoft compatible disk label written by FreeBSD which MacOS was happily honoring. Would happily put an HFS+ partition on the drives.

It should be safe to do the Ctrl-c. You are doing a fetch. What can go wrong? If you only have a partial distfile, and portupgrade can't handle that, at the worst, you cd /usr/ports/distfiles, remove the partial file, and try again. Things only get messy if you kill a job during an install. Since nothing has been added to the port database, you can probably just install it again. I did a portupgrade -FN rdiff-backup-1.2.6,1 and was able to download the distfile. I only saw 18KBps, which I assume means there are a other people doing a fetch from that site.

Re: rc.conf and starting scripts
On Sun, Mar 01, 2009 at 07:14:17PM -0800, gahn wrote: Hi all: I have some starting scripts under some other directories other than /etc/rc.d. How could I utilize the rc.conf file to start them when the system boots up? The default location for rc.conf is /etc/rc.d only and the knob local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d doesn't seem to be working for me for some reasons The way the question is put implies some possible misunderstanding about how rc.conf works. /etc/rc.conf itself is not executed. It is read up by the various scripts in etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d to get values for constants that are defined there. Some of those constants are things like linux_enable=YES or lpd_enable=YES or hostname=fred.cheeze.org and many other possible things. the /etc/rc.conf files does nothing active. It just sets there like a bunch of passive data waiting to be looked at. The rc system goes through the rc.d directories and, according to its rules checks the script files in those directories and executes those scripts that merit execution in an order determined by its protocol. It used to be strictly alphabetical, but is more sophisticated now. See man rc and man rcorder. The scripts read up /etc/rc.conf and check for constants that interest them, such as one to enable or run something. If the file name ends in 'd', the convention is that it is a daemon. But other things could be run to check stuff or set up some files, or whatever. Besides telling a script to run or exit without doing anything, the constants also set conditions for things, such as that hostname setting. But, it is up to the scripts - most or all in one of the rc.d directories - to do anything about what is in /etc/rc.conf. Just putting something in the rc.conf file does nothing. One or more of the scripts are what looks for the stuff you put in rc.conf and does/do all the work. The scripts in the rc.d directories have to have execute permission. There is a protocol set up for them to determine at which point in the boot process they run (most can also be run manually after the system is up, though doing them out of order can produce unpleasant results in some cases). So, put your script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Include the appropriate protocol in the script (see man rc.d, man rc.conf and other related man pages) and make sure it reads /etc/rc.conf if it needs constants set or needs to decide whether or not to start something. jerry ___ 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 ___ 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

Usually, when updating from one OpenBSD release to another, we do so by downloading the latest bsd.rd and booting from that to complete the install. Our machines have no optical drives. Does FreeBSD have a similar method to installation? Hmmm. Having a CD drive makes it so easy. It might be worthwhile to run out and get an external one you can plug in. Installs can also be done from a pair of floppies if you have a floppy drive. The floppy just has the boot and sysinstall stuff. Everything else downloads over the net or can be loaded on some other media such as tape or external disk and installed from there. You can create almost any kind of media if you can make it bootable and put stuff on it and boot from it and bring up sysinstall. But, I do not think you can put that on the slice you want to install to and then do a complete install there. Now, if you have FreeBSD running, you can upgrade it in place. Update and csup are all useful tools to learn for that. But, an initial install wants to be on some media other than where it will be installed. That is mostly because you build your disk filesystem as part of the installation. jerry Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bsd.rd-for-FreeBSD-install-tp22292723p22292723.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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 ___ 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

load average and some built-in monitoring mechanism

The box had to be rebooted as there was no remote access to it but I am not able to find anything useful in logs to confirm whether it was java. Is there a tool that would enable me to automatically turn on verbose logging of top processes to some file once the load average is greater than the specified value? This way, once the storm is over, I would be able to see which process(es) went nuts. I guess a tool like that may simply already exist in which case I'd appreciate links/more information.

I would guess that the install image is build in memory too and runs from there rather than from the CD. So, it should be possible with some tinkering - if you have enough memory to run a sysinstall completely from memory. You would then pretty much need to do an install over the net - which you would probably do anyway. So, your big problem, if that works, is figuring out how to create that image booted in to the memory disk without some external media to start it with. jerry ___ 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 ___ 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

backup msdos slice
Hi, I hate to start this potential storm, but... I have a machine with both an MS and FreeBSD slices on it. I can easily back up and recover the FreeBSD slices using dump(8)/restore(8) But, that won't work for the MS slice (which happens to be FAT32 on this machine) because there is no superblock and inode structure. So, what I would like is something that would dump the MS slice to a FreeBSD file or media written in the FreeBSD world and that I could then pick out files and directories somewhat like I do using restore on a dump file.I suspect that tar might not keep enough meta information to be right for this job.

The easiest way to do what you are attempting is to format the disk FAT. Then to preserve file attributes write your files in a tar archive. Hey hey, not so complicated. :-) The easiest way is to follow this advice WITHOUT the FAT part. The tar filesystem has been serving as the best data exchange format among UNIXes and Linusi over the years. The only thing needed on the Macbook is the tar utility. So, on the FreeBSD machine, you first put the files onto the external HDD using tar - note that you're using it DIRECTLY, you're NOT creating any files on a file system: % tar cvf /dev/da0 files Then, on the Macbook, you simply extract from the external disk, using MacOSX's tar command: $ tar xvf /dev/da0 Done! Usually, tar will preserve your file names and file attributes. No need to look for character translation tables, no need for chmod -x for the files, no need for the uppercase / lowercase trouble. Of course, you cannot read such a hard disk with Windows, but this wasn't part of the question anyway. There is no need to pollute a hard disk with MICROS~1 FAT when you're using UNIXens only. And yes, it is that simple. :-) Simple. Useful.

There should be a simple way: Just dd the FAT partition into a file. You can then backup this file in FreeBSD (by any way you want). In order to access files inside the dd image you can simply mount it using the md (memory disk) facility. An example (not verified, I don't have any MICROS~1 around); I'll assume that /dev/ads2c is the FAT file system in question (again, I do admit that I don't know how FAT partitions occur as device files in FreeBSD). % dd if=/dev/ads2c of=fat.dd bs=1m 12345678+1 records in 12345678+1 records out Now you've got fat.dd. You can backup this file or just backup content parts of it. % sudo mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 10 -f fat.dd % mount -t msdosfs -o ro /dev/md10 /mnt You now can access the files in fat.dd from the /mnt subtree. Be sure to check % man mount_msdosfs for additional options you might need (character conversion, large, longnames, mask, ... - I don't exactly know what to use). Now you can partwise plusgood backup files from within /mnt, using your favourite backup method (tar to tape, rsync to remote machine or what you prefer). Basically, I want to back up the MSDOS slice (I know MS calls it a primary partition) from the FreeBSD side of things. I can read and write the slice nicely from FreeBSD, but not dump/restore.
