A general sed question
I keep bumping up against this, so I thought I'd throw this question out to those who understand sed better than I do. What I'm trying to do is to clean up the contents of some files (/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC would be a good example) to get more readable diffs. To that end, I'm trying to use sed to - delete commented lines - remove inline comments - remove trailing spaces and/or tabs - delete blank lines, and/or lines containing just spaces and/or tabs - expand tabs Thanks! ___ 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

Howto: ethernet card on dell M6300
I was saddened to find that my ethernet card did not work on my FreeBSD 7.2
machine. The bge driver in the kernel did not support the broadcom 5756ME.
Here is how I got it to work:
1. Set my machine up to compile the kernel (see section 8.5 of manual)
2. Edit /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h. Add a definition for
BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME with the value 0x1674 after BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M:
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M 0x1673
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME 0x1674
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5780 0x166A
3. Edit /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c. Add a reference to
BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME after BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M:
{ BCOM_VENDORID,BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M },
{ BCOM_VENDORID,BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME },
{ BCOM_VENDORID,BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5780 },
4. Compile and install the kernel, and reboot
5. Configure the card using sysinstall

Re: / almost out of space just after installation
Hi, Q1: Is 26M free space on / after installing FreeBSD normal? That is not the right question to ask :) The question would be is it normal that / is using 430M?. It depemds what you have in / file system. After instal, I have 271M used, but for example, my user home directory is on a separate file system. Q2: Will I be able to install GNOME, Firefox, Yes, the installed software goes to /usr download 30 MB of files, and place them on my GNOME dekstop? (I believe the desktop is located at /home/cstankevitz/.desktop aka on the root partition where there is only 26M of free space) No because you have your home directory in the root file system and there is only 36 MB left, so you cannot use 30MB. Q3: Which changes, if any, should I make to my system? Reinstall with sensible partitioning; for a desktop machine I'd use: /2GB /usr 20~30GB /var 2GB /tmp 1GB /home the rest On the servers I have, have a maximum of 10GB used on the busiest machine, including a full buildworld/buildkernel.

I've tried both with and without ipfilter running (with appropriate

Other ports are reachable including a non-standard port used for ssh.
The question: Could there be any reason that port 6667 might be blocked?
(Unrealircd questions can be taken up elsewhere).
It's possible you've configured Unrealircd to only listen on
localhost and not on *.
Look for something like:
| listen *:6697
| {
| ...
| };
And make sure it's * and not 127.0.0.1.
Checked and it's correct.
Please check the output from this command:
sockstat -l | grep :6667
It will tell you if the daemon is listening on localhost
only or on all interfaces. This will narrow done the
cause of the problem: If the daemon listens on localhost,
then it's a configuration problem with that daemon.
If it listens on all interfaces (*), then the problem
is somewhere else, e.g. a packet filter (on the server or
client side, or somewhere between), or maybe a typo when
starting the client (wrong port number or address).

You can also use -w to ignore *all* white space, but note that foo bar and foobar are then considered equal, which might not be what you want. So only the removal of comments remains: sed 's/#.*//' That will remove all comments. Afterwards, commented lines are empty, so the -B option of diff will ignore them, so you don't have to remove them explicitly. When using zsh as your shell, you can use a nice feature called process substitution, so you don't have to create temporary files: diff -Buw (sed 's/#.*//' GENERIC) (sed 's/#.*//' MYKERNEL) I think bash has a similar feature, but I don't know the syntax, so please see the manpage if you're a bash user.

It depends on the FreeBSD version, and whether you installed the kernel with debug symbols. 430 MB space used in the root file system isn't completely uncommon. Nowadays I recomment to spend 1 GB for the root file system, especially if you plan to keep more than one kernel. Q2: Will I be able to install GNOME, Firefox, download 30 MB of files, and place them on my GNOME dekstop? (I believe the desktop is located at /home/cstankevitz/.desktop aka on the root partition where there is only 26M of free space) All third-party software goes to /usr, so there's no problem. Q3: Which changes, if any, should I make to my system? Make sure that /home is a symlink to /usr/home. You already have /var and /tmp on separate partitions, which is good. Personally I would grow the root file system to 1 GB. It's not strictly necessary, but it's better to have some more space there, especially during system updates, e.g. when updating the kernel you want to keep a copy of the old kernel. By the way, I often don't create /tmp as a disk partition, but as a memory disk. This is unrelated to the size of the root file system, though. An entry like this in /etc/fstab will do it: md /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,-s500m,async 0 0 Afterwards you can use the disk partition previously used for /tmp for a different purpose (e.g. for swap, or add it do the preceding partition which would be /var in your case, I think.)

Other minor suggestions to the OP: check the contents of /root, and move anything large that can live elsewhere and create a symlink. And somethings can just be deleted: if root uses preferred web browser two or three times a year, then a large cache is probably superfluous. Look for any .core files, which can usually be deleted. It is my understanding that - providing /tmp is on a separate partition - / should receive very little traffic, and the size should stabilize quickly.

However, this has a /boot/kernel and a /boot/kernel.old, both of which chews up 210M each. Agreed. Other minor suggestions to the OP: check the contents of /root, and move anything large that can live elsewhere and create a symlink. And somethings can just be deleted: if root uses preferred web browser two or three times a year, then a large cache is probably superfluous. Look for any .core files, which can usually be deleted. It is my understanding that - providing /tmp is on a separate partition - / should receive very little traffic, and the size should stabilize quickly.

The question is where do I go from here?? Hrmmm. Probably need to look into more details. I am running Apache- event-2.2.13 here with PHP5-5.2.11 and extensions-5.2.11, with PHP running as FastCGI via the apache module mod_fcgid instead of mod_php. I presume you are just doing the normal mod_php method. Upon thinking about it a little more, I'm guessing that when you tried relocating the extension=imap.so to the bottom of extensions.ini it had no effect. Sometimes this is an easy and quick answer when the problem is just load order. Another to consider is if you really do not require the imap module just leave it commented out, although this is not elegant as it does not attack the root source of the problem. What I'm thinking (after looking at the actual error message again) is this is a build-time problem and not runtime. I believe that these kinds of symbol errors arise mostly from libraries being mismatched at build time. To elaborate a little, I'm wondering if when you built mod_php at one point in time and then built the php5-extensions at a later time if they were not slightly different versions. Also, IIRC there was once a problem with the imap module in that it could not be used with the recode and yaz modules. I have the recode module present so I doubt it is a problem, but do not use the yaz module. Might look and see about yaz. I suspect the core of the problem is that mod_php and the extensions are slightly out of sync with one another. A very sloppy thing to do would be to just remove all the PHP stuff, including mod_php, update the ports tree fresh and reinstall all of it at one time together. This may not be wise on a production server however, as this will entail downtime. As I said - sloppy, scattergun approach. I have done this a time or two, but don't really like doing it.

It's been already pointed out that you aren't providing much information to go on, so here's my WAG of what is happening. Changing the root alias root could work, but consider the case of mail from the jailhost being rejected by the jailed mailserver. The bounce message will be addressed to POSTMASTER on the jailhost, which points to root on the jailhost, which points back to the jailed mailserver trying to send the bounce, which points to ... You can examine the scenario for yourself either by listening to a married couple on the verge of divorce argue with one another, or more specifically, by running [r...@jailhost] sendmail -bv root [r...@jail] sendmail -bv postmas...@jailhost.server.net When i try to send an email i get in /var/log/messages sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: Losing ./qfn97LeeOw094682: savemail panic Oct 8 08:40:40 server sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Oct 8 08:42:30 server sm-mta[94713]: n97LgTYg094713: Losing ./qfn97LgTYg094713: savemail panic Oct 8 08:42:30 server sm-mta[94713]: n97LgTYg094713: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Oct 8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: SYSERR(root): MX list for anotherdomain.com.au. points back to server.net The jailed mailserver is rejecting the mail and is then trying to send a bounce and can't because it's caught in a loop that ends when Sendmail says Look this isn't an argument ... it's just contradiction! and bails out. Why the jailed mailserver is rejecting the mail is a separate issue. In /var/log/maillog n97Ll7VV095129: to=some...@anotherdomain.com.au, ctladdr=r...@server.net (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30715, relay=anotherdomain.com.au., dsn=5.3.5, stat=Local configuration error Oct 8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: n97Ll7VV095130: DSN: Local configuration error That's from the maillog on the jailhost. More relevant to why the jailed mailserver has rejected the mail would be the jail's maillog entries (or whatever logging was done by the filter installed there). Either way, for the interim I'd suggest undoing your changes, rebuilding your aliases and consider implementing an alternate approach. For anyone to figure out conclusively what's happening, you'll have to provide more information. -- George ___ 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

Thank you so much, it worked =) My MX records are correct, i could get mail from the outside, but just couldn't get the daily reports to deliver it. I'm glad it worked. Believe me, if that simple change made it work for you, then it was worth my headache to have spent the time to learn it for myself ;) For the last few years, I've only used Sendmail (or sendmail) to act as a backup MX, or to directly deliver mail from the box I am on...hence, it's been a while... There may be other ramifications to using `mailertable' in your particular environment. I don't know how your system will react, given a default setup and a mailertable entry. It's possible (but untested) that if the server that is specified in the mailertable is down, your reports might not make it to you ( whether that's bad or good is up for interpretation... I've always known no news as good news ;) Perhaps Giorgos or someone else may be able to provide a better understanding.

When is it worth enabling hyperthreading?
Hi, Could someone explain me in which cases it is useful to enable hyperthreading on a machine running FreeBSD 8.0 and in which other cases it is not a good idea? Is that possible that hyperthreading is disadvantageous unless the number of active (non-sleeping) threads is really high? For example, if I have an i7 CPU with 4 physical cores and that I run some multi-threaded code that has only 4 threads, it will run almost always (twice) slower with hyperthreading enabled than when I disable it in the BIOS. If I understand correctly, hyperthreading has the advantage of being able to do CPU context switching faster than the OS, but it does this context switching systematically instead of only when requested, so it slows things down unless the number of running (non-sleeping) threads is greater or equal to let say the number of physical threads x 1.5-1.75.
