Could you please take a look to my other mail (getgrent related) - there
seems another bug ...
Do you have another one-liner that will reproduce it? A simple
/usr/bin/getent group doesn't return dupes for me. Oddly enough, the
*grent code doesn't use an internal counter, so the bug you found in
endpwent doesn't exist in endgrent (afaik; the nsswitch code isn't that
easy to read).
Not really a one-liner:
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'setgrent; my %dupchk; while( my ( $name,
$grpass, $gid, $members ) = getgrent() ) { print $name is returned
more than once (No $dupchk{$name} comes here)\n if( $dupchk{$name}++
); print Dumper( [ $name, $grpass, $gid, $members ] ) };'
setgrent() doesn't work here.
I ran that and got dupes for group entries that exist both in /etc/groups
and
my LDAP source, but that's expected.
You can see here
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f5100ac6-9418-11df-9ebc-c4a68065c34d
the typical error picture. FreeBSD is the only system, where this error
occurs.
I don't know how to read perl's test output; what part of that report
failed, and how do you know it was due to getgrent returning duplicate
values?
Because I know the error picture - I've seen it on my FreeBSD box first.
I probably should add some diag() output for failing tests ...
BTW - I ran your one-liner above on a SLES 10.2 Linux box and a Solaris 10u7
box, and got duplicate entries where groups existed in both /etc/groups and
LDAP, just like on FreeBSD. I think you may be relying on behaviour that
getgrent doesn't guarantee on any OS.
But the duplicated entries I get are not duplicated in the source. I sent you my
/var/yp/groups file and the output of my one-liner.
I have no LDAP setup to try out, but in this case my workaround could be a good
idea.
Best regards,
Jens

Zfs was left out because its over kill. Sparse image jails gives the same protection at a 10th of the overhead. You didn't factor in slowness due to having a file-backed filesystem. While probably pretty low, it's definitely there and not good in an io heavy jail. Also, the host will have to mount a UFS based FS, and cache it so you're going to have increased memory usage. Ideal setup for an io intensive jaill(eg database) is to be bound to compressed ZFS file-system, not a sparse image located on such a setup. even better when we get zfs v22 as we will have dedup. THat has its own memory issues though. I'm not sure what overhead you're referring too. If it's hard to tie into your application, you are probably correct, but from a host perspective you are increasing overhead.

Re: system hangs on; Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)...
Rich, if you can't get either the installation CD or live-file-system CD to boot (FreeBSD), maybe your computer is allergic to FreeBSD? I've had that problem with both FreeBSD and NetBSD on the older computer (Cx486DX-2 at 66 MHz; 1.2 GB hard drive). One thing that could possibly help is if you could get a custom installation kernel or running kernel, but you'd need a different computer to build it on. Any way to cross-compile a FreeBSD kernel from NetBSD or Linux? Does anybody know? NetBSD guide tells how to make customized installation kernels and media, but I see nothing like that for FreeBSD. You might read the sysinstall man page from FreeBSD web site. Under NOTES This product is currently at the end of its life cycle and will eventu- ally be replaced. Under BUGS, toward the end This utility is a prototype which lasted several years past its expira- tion date and is greatly in need of death. I guess you and I both agree on this last statement. I also have to say that splitting the installation sets into 1392 KB chunks like base.aa, base.ab, and so on, is much less user-friendly and more error-prone than one .tgz or .tbz file for each installation set: base.tgz, etc.tgz, man.tgz and so on.

Nonsense! Indeed Since the IP address assigned to the jail is the only one the jail is seeing, Apache will only bind to that IP address. So you can have as many jails running Apache on port 80 as you like, because they only will bind to the IP address belonging to the jail. The only 'challenge' will be configuring Apache on the host itself to only listen to one IP address, instead of *, which is piece of cake. Actually, not even that is necessary. A socket on the host bound to INADDR_ANY is overridden by the more specific IP address in the jail, at least on my systems (not using multi IP jails yet, so maybe that's different) So you can run e.g. sshd on the host and all jails without having to specify a ListenAddress anywhere. Only thing is that you'll get connected to the host if sshd in the jail would stop or go down.

How do you automatically start Apache, Bind, etc. in a jail?
Hi folks, I have Apache installed in a qjail named webserver (I.P. address 192.168.225.130) using the pkg_add -r apache22 command, but how do you get Apache (or Bind, etc.) to automatically start upon boot? I got the jail to start by adding qjail_enable=YES to hosts' /etc/rc.conf and I also added apache22_enable=YES, but that doesn't seem to work. Suggestions? Also, when I console into the jail, and issue an apachectl start command, I get the following error: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for webserver httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName I figured out if I add the IP address of the jail as well as webserver to the jails' hosts file, I can start Apache, but I still get this error: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.225.130 for ServerName What am I doing wrong? Finally, rather than installing Apache using the typical pkg_add -r apache22 command, is there a way to install Apache using the ./configure script? In MY case, I know the EXACT parameters I want to pass to the ./configure script (like enabling SSL, etc), but I don't know how to do this in a jail.

ULE scheduler and the WCPU column in top
I have this interesting behavior in the top utility on _both_ my 7.1 and 8.0 FreeBSD servers (updated to latest patches). The interesting behavior happens only when my kernel is compiled with the ULE scheduler. It does not happen when the kernel uses the old BSD scheduler. Here is a link of a screenshot of top on one of my servers: http://daffy.nerius.com/temp/top.png The output of top usually looks just like this, at most times of the day. The row that worries me is the process ioUrTded.i3 run by the user urt1, which is reported to be using 1.17% WCPU in the screenshot. It's the sixth row down. The thing that makes no sense is that this process is in fact using more CPU than any other process on my system, and I know this as a fact. The processes that are most active are all video game servers, and the game server run by the urt1 user is the most populated with the most going on, by far. With my kernel compiled to use the old BSD scheduler, the process run by urt1 is _always_ the most active as reported by top; the WCPU shows between 30 and 40 percent on this process normally (with the BSD scheduler). The WCPU percentage on the process owned by urt1 never reaches very high - it always stays abnormally low as reported by top (with the ULE scheduler). The process itself is running just fine and the game server is very busy. Any ideas? Is this a known issue when running the ULE scheduler? Any negative impacts that might occur? ___ 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

Depending on what you've previously done in the www/apache22 directory, a configuration may already exist. 'make showconfig' will tell you. If so, you can run 'make rmconfig' in the apache22 port directory, and a subsequent 'make config' will display the configuration screen.

Please use the -d option Cannot read the INDEX file. Give up I am not familiar with that port, but it looks to be a wrapper for running cvs to get the port directory (and dependencies) you have requested, then installing from that. cvs needs either the -d flag or the CVSROOT environment variable to tell it which CVS repo to checkout from. There are some examples here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html -- Rob Farmer The manpage has no information about any options at all, so have no idea how the -d option is to be coded.

why do I require WPA in rc.conf even for open networks.
For some reason I can not connect to *any* wireless network regardless of the connection type unless I have WPA in /etc/rc.conf right before DHCP. Why would I require this to connect to open networks? -- Eitan Adler ___ 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

Well, The INDEX file is a component of the ports tree distribution. If you choose not to use the supported method of installing it (i.e. installing the ports tree), you'll have to create your own. Hint: Per ports(7), take a look at the definition of the 'fetchindex' target. I see in the source of porteasy that its fetching http://www.freebsd.org/ports/INDEX-8.bz2 How can I verify this? ___ 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've heard of a few people trying to do things like this, and mostly the consensus is that's it's more trouble than it's worth. Good luck.
