Re: Setup of Router machine with FreeBSD
Nathan, Thank you very much for your reply. I have tried out your suggestion and experienced some problem. Hope you could kindly shed some light on them and I really appreciate it. First, I experienced connection problem from server machine(192.168.2.1) to router interface (192.168.2.2). I connected the two network cards with standard Internet cable and tried to ping each other. However, it output following message which makes me think the connection between server and router is problematic; PING sendto Host is down. Any idea why this is happening? I think ping should work as long as I set the IP of network cards correctly and connect them with cable. Second, I am confused about the setup at the router machine. How the router machine figures out the relationship between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.1.1 if we do not configure it to do so? Is there anything needs to be done besides adding route at server machine and client? Thank you very much for your kind attention! Have a nice day!

You'll thus only have to have ONE route entry for the whole network, not one per IP (unless that is your intention -in which case the '-net' syntax is incorrectly being used). So long as routing is turned on (man sysctl), simply pointing the server to the router and the client to the router to connect to each other should work. Try doing the commands from the console first to get it all working, then worry about putting in the startup configs on boot-up. Given your example, I'd login to 'server' and run: route add 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.2 (if the router is the ONLY router from the server, use this instead): route add 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.2 Then, from the client, add: route add 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.1.1 The gateway/router box itself does not need any routing setup internally; you don't need/shouldn't be setting any routes given that 192.168.2.2, and 192.168.1.2 are hosts on the two networks for which you want to allow routes. They key is in getting the clients to both use the same gateway, (as accessible from the network they are respectfully on). This may be a little more clearly depicted below: Host A (192.168.2.1) -- Router (192.168.2.2) (192.168.1.1) -- Host B (192.168.1.3) Host A: - needs to know to use '192.168.2.2' as it's gateway to 192.168.1.0/24 - may just use 192.168.2.2 as it's default gateway to ANY network Host B: - needs to know to use '192.168.1.1' as it's gateway to 192.168.2.0/24 - similarly, may just use '192.168.1.1' as it's default gateway to ANY as well Assuming you're connecting the internet at some point to the gateway (router) machine, a decent firewall filter and NAT will most likely be required as

installing FreeBSD 8 on SSDs and UFS2 - partition alignment, block sizes, what does one need to know?
For my upcoming storage system, the OS install is going to be on a 80gb Intel SSD disk and for various reasons, I am now pretty convinced to stick with UFS2 for the root partition (the actual data pool will be ZFS using traditional SATA disks). I am probably going to use GPT partitioning and have the SSD host the swap, boot, root and a few other partitions.

Re: copying a disk with ignoring errors
Allow me to continue this thread with a question about a method to erase a disk that has bad sectors. I bought a 1TB hard disk and will do the recoverdisk job soon. Then the disk, a Seagate which is still under warranty until 2013 as my local distributor told me, will go back and hopefully I'll be getting a replacement in a few weeks. But before I'll giv back that disk I would like to erase the disk thoroughly. Now, is the a way to do that in the opposite direction? Would dd noerror do that?

ports before I got round to changing this to point to packages-8.
Yep. This would stick a fairly hefty spanner in the works.
Considering the vast number of files in /usr/local/bin with links
to missing libraries I think my best approach now will be to
deinstall ALL my ports and reinstall them again from scratch after
deleting everything in /usr/ports/packages and checking that all
directories in /usr/local (except etc) have been emptied.
This also is a good move. Don't forget to treat /compat/linux
similarly to /usr/local if you have any linux stuff installed --
there have been a lot of changes to the linuxulator newly available
in 8.0 which you really want if you're going to run linux stuff under
emulation. If you strip out /compat/linux completely, then under 8.0
you'll get the latest linux-base-f10 by default when you re-install.
When reinstalling ported software, it's a good idea to adopt the
following strategies:
* Install whatever ports management software you prefer
(portupgrade(1), portmaster(1)) pretty much straight away -- you'll
need this to build everything.
* Look at the list of installed packages on your 6.4 install, and
pick out the packages that are your end-use applications. These will
mostly be leaf packages, but not always.
* You only need to reinstall just those packages -- everything
else should be installed automatically as dependencies. This will
help you avoid installing and outdated build dependencies or
otherwise orphaned packages which otherwise tend to accumulate on an
actively updated system. * For the end-use packages you choose, run
'make config-recursive' before you start building anything to ensure
you've selected all the required options. Or use portmanager(1)
which runs you through the config stage first of all. You need to be
a bit careful doing this, as toggling an option in a port can
radically change its dependency list, and may bring new sets of
options into play. To resolve that, you'll need to re-run 'make
config-recursive' until it no longer prompts you to make any OPTIONS
settings. [There's a PR to fix this behaviour in the works, but it
hasn't been committed yet.]
* Where there are ports that have compilation flags or knobs that
aren't controlled through OPTIONS dialogues, then be sure to record
any non- default settings in /etc/make.conf. You can use a construct
like this to only apply settings to specific ports:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/dkim-milter}
WITH_LIBDKIM_INSTALL= yes
WITH_LIBDKIM_SHARED=yes
WITH_VERIFY_DOMAINKEYS= yes
WITH_STATS= yes
WITH_DNS_UPGRADE= yes
.endif
Well known KNOBS should be set globally where you aren't using
the default setting, eg:
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT= yes
WITH_BDB_VER= 47
WITH_MYSQL_VER= 51
WITH_OPENLDAP_VER= 24
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL= yes
WITH_GECKO= libxul
WITH_APACHE2= yes
APACHE_PORT=www/apache22
WITH_MODPERL2= yes
PERL_VERSION= 5.10.1
Again, changing these settings can affect the dependency tree
and potentially bring new sets of OPTIONS into play, so test
repeatedly with 'make config-recursive'
* It's a good idea to run 'make fetch-recursive' or 'portinstall
-RF ...' or 'portmaster -F ...' after sorting out configuration to
download any distfiles before trying to build everything, as this is
another place where a big build session can blow up while you aren't
looking. It's not mandatory though.
* Once everything is configured nicely, it should be possible to
just run a massive portupgrade(1) or portmaster(1) session unattended
to build and install everything, without finding that 10

Re: Setup of Router machine with FreeBSD
Paul, The key thing you need to look at is enabling routing on the machine you want to act as a gateway. Given the dual-homed nature of the machine it's routing table will already contain each of the interfaces on the two networks, and as such the router machine will 'know' how to connect to each of the networks it is on. What is missing, is that you must tell the router machine that it can relay information across these known networks for other hosts. As with most things, there's better documentation available on the subject, and I'd HIGHLY recommend you try reading the following handbook section 'Gateways and Routes' for a better understanding: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routing.html Within that section, it will elaborate as to how you can turn on and off the function to act as a gateway for other hosts. As in my original email reply to the list, the specific command is 'sysctl' which allows you to tune key variables controlling the kernel functionality - in this case, the behavior of acting as a gateway. Please take a few moments and read through that section, it should greatly clarify some things for you. As always, feel free to ask again if you need further help with something. Regarding your ping problem; are you using the correct cabling to go from ethernet card to card? You must use cross cables for direct connections, and straight-through if using a hub or switch. Assuming that you have no firewall in place blocking traffic, then ping should work fine - I would suggest you check your cabling first and go from there. Running the command 'ifconfig -a' will list your active network interfaces and should show the 'media state' as being connected and at what speed/duplex - check there first and work your way back. Hope this helps. -- Nathan Vidican nat...@vidican.com Quoting Paul Shi shih...@hkusua.hku.hk: Nathan, Thank you very much for your reply. I have tried out your suggestion and experienced some problem. Hope you could kindly shed some light on them and I really appreciate it. First, I experienced connection problem from server machine(192.168.2.1) to router interface (192.168.2.2). I connected the two network cards with standard Internet cable and tried to ping each other. However, it output following message which makes me think the connection between server and router is problematic; PING sendto Host is down. Any idea why this is happening? I think ping should work as long as I set the IP of network cards correctly and connect them with cable. Second, I am confused about the setup at the router machine. How the router machine figures out the relationship between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.1.1 if we do not configure it to do so? Is there anything needs to be done besides adding route at server machine and client? Thank you very much for your kind attention! Have a nice day!

top/ps: is Active Memory = sum(resident set size)?
This has probably been discussed before, so apology for asking the same question again. Should the Active memory, as reported by top(1), be equal to the sum of rss (the real memory (resident set) size of the process) of all processes, as reported by ps(1)? The sum of ps(1) rss fields is probably the same as the sum of RES fields of top(1). I seem to have much bigger Active set than the sum of all resident (or real) memories used by all processes. Please advise many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ 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

So, did I mis-file this PR? [bin/141175: New cpio(1) in FreeBSD 8 regressed and left out a previous option: -V (dots) [regression]]
When FreeBSD-8 came out, it came with a newly rewritten cpio(1) that no longer offered an option I originally started using with SunOS/Solaris, but came to expect on FreeBSD and Linux as well. Since it was pretty trivial to add it back, I did so and offered the patch in PR bin/141175: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=141175 The option is -V to print a dot per file copied rather than the much more verbose -v and the dots variant that can be useful for some feedback when copying a large hierarchy. My PR was filed on 2008/Dec/4, over a month ago, yet there has not even been a single response to it. Did I mis-file it?

E-commerce Gateway
E-commerce Payment Gateway Solution: (E-commerce Gateway Solution for United States and Canadian Merchants) Federated Payments- USA Merchant Accounts MSI Canada- Canadian Merchant Accounts About Us Federated Payments / MSI Canada is a credit card payment processor in the United States and Canadian marketplace. We have an “A” Industry Rating with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and annually process over 2 billion dollars in credit card payment transactions. Established in 1998, Federated Payments recently took its place as one of the Top 50 Payment Processors in the Industry and is considered the fastest growing Processor according to the Neilson Report. We service more than 20,000 merchants across the country and employ 150 sales support and technical staff in the United States and Canada. Federated Payments operates as Merchant Services Inc. Canada (MSI Canada) as its Canadian operations. Recognizing the Gateway Problem We are aware of the difficulties web developers experience when adding shopping carts to sites and then to face security compliance issues when Payment Gateways are to be integrated. In most cases, the client’s bank does not support an online payment gateway solution. This begins the clients search to find the right bank that will approve or provide a payment gateway that can comply to the shopping cart security standards. After this step is complete, the client is left to babysit the bank to ensure correspondence is maintained with the web developer until task is complete. For any developer, dropping the ball at the end is simply bad practice hence integrating PayPal saves the client from anguish and despair temporarily. PayPal charges high credit card processing rates which leads to even more client despair in the end. Professionalism is lost when the gateway page re-directs the customer to a process he is not interested in fulfilling. PayPal should be considered an additional feature and not the primary gateway function. Required customer sign-ups and account verification processes deter customers from returning to PayPal sites. Client loses retention momentum. SafePay Solution The SafePay Gateway Program is a solution for merchants to process online in a secured manner without giving up large profits for processing. We offer the “Lowest Rate Guarantee” to every client that comes on board. Included with the SafePay Program is the Backend Gateway which enables clients a backend to enter orders manually, to put customers on recurring payments, pull reports, customizable fields, download/upload Quick Books file feature , multiple user with Admin control features and much more. A demo will be provided to your client for training by our technicians. SafePay Payment Gateway Solution Features: · Enables real-time online transaction processing · Fully CISP and PCI Certified · Free Quick Click Shopping Cart- Or connect with over 80 certified shopping carts · Recurring Billing- Bill your customers daily, weekly or monthly for as many payments as requires · Cardholder Authentication Card Programs: Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode · Virtual Terminal- With a Level 3 intuitive user interface, you will be able to authorize, process and manage credit card transactions manually from any computer that has an internet connection. · API Integration- With API Integration solution your merchants will utilize the highest level of secure transaction infrastructure available. · Batch Upload Process- With batch upload processing you will be able to control and approve transactions manually prior to settlement. The batch processing system automatically allocates the batches in 1/16 bins and reduces overall processing time to a fraction of your competitors. · Electronic Check- Electronic Check is a payment solution that enables online and traditional merchants to accept and process electronic check payments directly from their Web site’s storefront or through the Virtual Terminal.

sendmail issues - make fails to create aliases.db in /etc/mail
make in /etc/mail fails (silently) to create aliases.db. I touched all
the source files I modified to make sure they would be rebuilt (since
the last rebuild failed). What I am finding is that the command
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bi -OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases is not creating
aliases.db, nor is it creating any errors. I tried running
`/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -bi -OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases`, but aw no
errors from that, either.
Anyone experienced something like this before and have suggestions on
what I should examine next?
Thanks,

zpool upgrade - is it safe?
Hi all, I just upgraded to a more recent version of 8.0-STABLE, and I noticed during boot that zfs had changed from version 13 to version 14. Is it safe to run zpool upgrade -a on a system while in multiuser, or will I have to take some security measures, such as creating a complete backup and/or booting into singleuser?

Re: pkg_info fails with leave_playpen: can't chdir back to ''
Mike, Thanks for your response. Since originally writing that message, I had done some tests (there was a misconfiguration in mailer that my browser called on the system I was sending from so the message got sent out much later when it was corrected). I had tried running the exact same executable both in the jail and outside and got a different set of libraries. One odd thing that I had also noticed is that when I ran ldd against the same executable, I came up with a different set of libraries. I'm not sure what controls the library searches. As far as I can tell the libraries are the same also. However, since then, my /var/run/ld-elf* files have changed. I no longer see the problem or the differences in ldd. This may have corrected the problem. Henry Mike Clarke wrote: On Wednesday 30 December 2009, Henry Wong wrote: I'm seeing the same problem with pkg_info on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE. However, I also found that even when running as the root user, if I'm in a chroot jail, it does not fail. Sometime after experiencing this problem I discovered that my ports had suffered from the accidental introduction of some packages which had been built for rev. 6.4 (see the thread under http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-January/210421.html). As a result of this I had to completely remove and re-install all my ports and I haven't seen the leave_playpen problem since then. It might be just coincidence or it may be that pkg_info just got confused by all the links to wrong and non-existent libraries. Could it be that the ports in your main system are corrupt but those in the jail are clean? -- Henry Wong Lead Software Engineer Lumeta - / Securing the Network in the Face of Change / _hw...@lumeta.com_ 732.357.3534 (office) 732.564.0731 (fax) 220 Davidson Avenue Somerset , NJ 08873-4146 www.lumeta.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

Re: ISO image size -regarding
Hi, To update all, I followed Roland's suggestion and installed isomaster and just opened the iso file (1GB) and saved it again and it 'magically' shrank to 570 MB. The new ISO was burned and tested on a physical machine and it works fine. Thanks Roland ! I tried Ian's suggestion and copied from the ISO file and can confirm that his recommended changes did the trick and the ripped files only measure 570 MB making it easier to use mkisofs .

Hi Scott, nearly all in /rescue are hardlinks to one big executable, and there are also hardlinks in /bin and /sbin, hence your size difference. rsync(1): Note that -a does not preserve hardlinks, because finding multi- ply-linked files is expensive. You must separately specify -H. Note also that for compatibility, -a currently does not include --flags (see there) to include preserving change file flags (if supported by the OS). # scp sc...@remote:/boot/kernel/amdsmb.ko boot/kernel/. // wrap up in a ISO # cd .. #mkisofs -R -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -o custom.iso custom The ISO file is created successfully but is huge. I mounted it in VirtualBox and boots just fine. I was able to install the OS (although I have not checked the functionality of amdsmb changes yet) I looked up information on creating custom ISO images but they had all involved rebuilding the kernel while I am not sure if I need to do the same Any leads is appreciated.

Re: Jails - Ethernet data vs IP data
On 01/09/10 21:21, Tim Judd wrote: I bought a new SiliconDust HDHomeRun device which brings two Digital coaxial tuners to an ethernet network. From what I read and understand about the HDHomeRun (HDHR), is that it does have an IP address assigned to the system, but all packets of video are actually just raw Ethernet packets/data that has it's own payload and protocol. The port MythTV (to which I'm starting to love) maintainer has marked the two pieces of MythTV as conflicting ports (I'll address to the maintainer directly), so I build the frontend (the user interface if you will) on the host, because it needs lots of X11/xorg. The backend runs as a daemon talking with MySQL to manage everything. Since they conflict, the backend goes onto a jail. I have to port-compile the backend every time, the packages have missing dependencies. It takes quite a while. I know the HDHR is online, I can watch the video without MythTV interaction, but the jailed backend isn't seeing it. So I was hoping to see if I can query the group and see if raw ethernet data can be delivered to a jail, or if I'm just fishing in the empty fish bowl trying to get this to work in a jail. Thanks forANY input in regards to limits the jail system might have. This is on a golden 8.0-RELEASE i386, haven't updated it yet. Take a look at the security.jail.allow_raw_sockets sysctl, or the allow.raw_sockets jail parameter (probably the former since the jail parameters don't have good rc support yet). By default, jails aren't allowed to create the raw sockets necessary for direct ethernet communication. Setting security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1 should allow that. You might also need to clear security.jail.socket_unixiproute_only (or set allow.socket_af) - not sure about that. - Jamie ___ 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

I now have to reevaluate my planned use of an SSD though, I was planning to use a 40gb partition on an Intel 80GB X25-M G2 as a dedicated L2ARC device for a ZFS mirror of 2 x 2tb disks. However these numbers make it quite obvious that I would already be CPU-starved at 40-50mb/s throughput on the encrypted ZFS mirror, so adding an l2arc SSD, while improving latency, would do really nothing for actual disk read speeds, considering the l2arc itself would too, have to sit on top of a GELI device. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ 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

Re: sendmail issues - make fails to create aliases.db in /etc/mail
Looks like you're using postfix pretending to be sendmail. Evidently postfix doesn't build aliases.db the same way. You might try newaliases. I tried that, but it had an identical result. -Jim Stapleton ___ 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
Re: sendmail issues - make fails to create aliases.db in /etc/mail
Yeah, that might work. I had troubles with aliases and the database and it didn't resolve itself until I ran newaliases. But newaliases is just a symlink to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper. It calls /etc/mail/mail.conf with newaliases which point to the *real* binary. That's where things disappear down the rabbit hole. Are you trying to run sendmail as postfix? I did install postgress, I didn't expect it to make any changes (I had planned on potentially fiddling with it at some point, so I wanted it in the jail template). I'm assuming it must have made modifications to my system replacing sendmail with it?

However beware when up upgrade a pool as once you have you cant go back, and if you want the revert to your previous install you wont be able to. Therefore a general rule of thumb is unless you need a new feature on a new pool version dont upgrade it. A least wait a few weeks until your new install is fully bedded in and tested Thanka.

From the verbose messages, it looked like it may have put aliases.db in /etc, not /etc/mail. Did you install postfix from ports? If you want to go back to sendmail, deinstalling the postfix port may restore /etc/mail/mailer.conf to the original state.

cannot install apache22 on FBSD 8.0
Gentlemen, I am absolutely stupefied by apache22, php5, php5-extensions and phpmysql refusing to be updated or installed I did manage to do one installation on a freshly upgraded box from 7.2 to 8.0 but with very frustrating and time consuming efforts. I still don't know how I managed, but it seems to work, for the moment anyway. Could someone explain to me why there is a problem with apache22, php5 and the rest - when doing an upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0. I followed the instructions in the handbood to the letter and both times there is a problem. Am I doing something that is not evident in the instructions. Even the apache site states very clearly that and update is about as simple as could be. The long list of errors when installing apache seem to deal with a lot of undeclared stuff (first use in this function) for a lot of uldap stuff like cache, connection etc. etc. How does one deal with this as there seems to be nothing on google.
