soaccept

2010-12-21 Thread Mohammad Hedayati
I'm about to use a char device for a kind of distributed processing,
so I've coded the open function as follows. The problem is that
soaccept returns 0 without populating the raddr. I've checked netstat,
everything seems to be fine, the socket is created, bound and the
state is LISTENING. Even the remote is connection is ESTABLISHED. But,
it cannot receive anything.
int
open(struct cdev *dev, int flag, int otyp, struct thread *td)
{
uprintf(in open...\n);

int error = -1; 
socktd = td;

error = socreate(AF_INET, sock, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP,
td-td_proc-p_ucred, socktd);
if(error != 0)
return error;

sockaddr.sin_len = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
sockaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
sockaddr.sin_port = htons(1234);
sockaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
error = sobind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)sockaddr, socktd);
uprintf(sobind error = %d\n, error);

error = solisten(sock, 5, socktd);
uprintf(solisten error = %d\n, error);

error = soaccept(sock, (struct sockaddr **)raddr);
uprintf(soaccept error = %d, ip=%s\n, error, 
inet_ntoa(raddr-sin_addr));

uprintf(out open...\n);

return(error);
}

int
read(struct cdev *dev, struct uio *uio, int ioflag)
{   
int error = 0;

error = soreceive(sock, (struct sockaddr **)raddr, uio, NULL, NULL, 
NULL);

return(error);

A jail with a dash in its name

2010-12-21 Thread Christer Solskogen
I want to create a jail called forest-friend. And having a dash in the
name seems to create problems for me.

/etc/rc.conf: jail_forest-friend_rootdir=/usr/jails/forest-friend: not found

how do I escape that?

 I want to create a jail called forest-friend. And having a dash in the
 name seems to create problems for me.

 /etc/rc.conf: jail_forest-friend_rootdir=/usr/jails/forest-friend: not found

 how do I escape that?

It looks to me like yo're chasing the wrong problem.

That statement appears to be a shell variable assignment, yet the 
error message indicates that the system is trying to find an executable
by the name of the entire expression.

You need to show us the actual line in /etc/rc.conf _and_ the surrounding
context.

I believe what was referred to earlier was the lack of quotes- as in . 
The rc variables in the conf are strings, so your rc.conf should have this:


jail_forest-friend_rootdir=/usr/jails/forest-friend
jail_forest-friend_ip=192.168.0.15

However, whether or not a hyphen is allowed in the jail name is another 
matter. Yes a hyphen is allowed in a hostname, but in the rc.conf the 
hostname is set in a string (as mentioned before). Also, the jail name 
and hostname don't need to be the same thing.

Yeah I was left with the same feeling after tagging your thread for
follow-up. The man says that it derives from the HP-UX model so maybe
there are some references to that, and we shoudl start there. I would
like to know what the exact differences are with nice. I was expecting
to find for example, the rtprio value to be in actual time units,
question: is there a correlation to the number and a concrete RT value
say cpu cycles or so? Is there a way to calculate the the minimum
expected timeslice or the maximum time to re-schedule. For example, in
PLC design you usually have to guarantee that you will evaluate a
certain number of ladder instruction in a maximum amount of time, say
1000 ladder instructions in a worst case of 100ms. So the question is
if this is rt scheduling then there must be a correlation with rt
units. I don't have much time but I will try to research this soon

Well, the immediate reason here is this:

http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Definitions


name
A word consisting solely of letters, numbers, and underscores, and 
beginning with a letter or underscore. Names are used as shell variable 
and function names. Also referred to as an identifier.



(ignoring that /bin/sh is not bash but the syntax is the same for this 
purpose).


/etc/rc.conf is basically a shell script containing only variable 
assignments.


I think you actually *could* have jails with arbitrary names (including 
international / utf-8 if you're not worried about formatting much) but 
only if you are going to manage them manually, not with /etc/rc.conf.

 I've been playing with a HTC Android, disk access is fine, but trying to

 Whats usbconfig say? And is it every time you plug in, or does it come good
 second or third (+) time round?


usbconfig says
ugen1.3: LG Vortex USB Device LG Electronics Inc. at usbus1, cfg=0
md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON

It's pretty consistent as far as the number of tries. I'm not worried about
tethering so much as being able to plug it in to my laptop when I travel to
add/remove data from the memory card (fbsd doesn't particularly like my

E-Mail scaling question

2010-12-21 Thread Mark Moellering
Hello All,
My company needs a [new] e-mail solution for a product rollout.  Rather than 
have a few e-mail domains with lots of addresses, the solution we need is for 
a very few (mostly one, very rarely more than 3) accounts on upwards of tens 
of thousands of domains.  

I can't find any info on scaling sendmail or postfix to this many domains.  If 
anyone has any info, knowledge, horror stories, etc. It would be greatly 
appreciated

Also, I am assuming that to play nice, we need a dedicated IP per domain, so I 
may have to survive setting that up before I even get to the e-mail.  If 
anyone knows of a legitimate way to set up an e-mail domain on a shared IP and 
not have half of the e-mail servers assume we are spammers, let me know.

Thanks in advance

You can set an IP only for mail for all the domains and point the MX Records
to it. The PTR record just point it to the server real name and thats it.

I don't see much value in setting up tens of thousands of what sound like 
vanity domains, but you'll need postmaster@ working at each of these domains to 
be even minimally compliant with RFC-822/2822/etc, and most people expect 
abuse@ to work also.

You'll want to use hash table map type for sendmail's virtusertable or 
Postfix's virtual table-- see /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README or 
/usr/local/share/doc/postfix/VIRTUAL_README.

 and

There's nothing unusual about having one IP serve as the MX for many domains.  
After all, many hosting companies provided a shared email solution.

What matters most to spam checking is the mail contents, whether forward and 
reverse DNS match, whether postmaster@ and abuse@ works, and whether bounces, 
address verification, etc are handled properly.

You don't.

rc.conf uses bourne shell syntax.  The entries are all variable
initializations.  jail_forest-friend_rootdir is illegal as a variable
name -- you can't have a '-' character in there.

I suggest you /call/ your jail forest_friend and use that form in
everything that appears on the LHS of an assignment in rc.conf.

Of course, there's no problem with using the form 'forest-friend' on the
RHS of any assignments, so long as it's properly quoted, of course.

Cheers,

Install problem with 8.0 Release

2010-12-21 Thread Graeme Dargie
Hi list,

 

I am trying to help a friend who is overseas install FreeBSD 8.0 i386.
Left to his own devices the install failed, so I ran through it with him
last night, all is fine till it gets to the root password screen where
the install just hangs.  He is not very techy, all I could glean was the
system has an sis chipset and it previously ran windows 7 with no
problems, I am hoping to get a more detailed spec of the machine, but I
thought might make an initial enquiry to the list to see if anyone has
come across this behaviour before, or are there any obvious possible
causes ?

 

 

Regards

 

Graeme

I'm not aware of anything that would cause those specific symptoms, but
FreeBSD 8.0 is no longer supported.  You should be using 8.1 and 8.2 is
coming soon.  Another possibility would be to use the PCBSD installer to
install either PCBSD or a plain FreeBSD install.  The newer PCBSD installer
supports installing either version.

Hard to say without more details as to why its hanging, but I would not bother 
with 8.0 as its quite old. Instead, try 

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.2/FreeBSD-8.2-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso

There is wider hardware support and many, many bug fixes.

Re: HP XW6400 install failure

2010-12-21 Thread Per olof Ljungmark

Quoting Per olof Ljungmark p...@intersonic.se:


Hi,

The machine restarts during DVD/Memstick boot, possibly when is  
trying to identify the HD. If I take out the LSI 3041E SAS  
controller and replace it with another SCSI controller or the  
motherboard SATA all is fine, installing other OS's with the 3041 is  
also fine.


Tried various FBSD incarnmations from CD's lying around but none  
worked. Tried several machines as well, got four of them so this  
should exclude hw failure.


Anyone with similar experiences? The controller uses the mpt driver.

I'm right now burning a 9-current DVD to see what it says...



Answering myself here, I guess this controller is not supported with mpe(4),
I just thought it was... if someone thinks otherwise just let me know!

Any (or almost any) MTA you pick is able to handle 100's of domains with
few addresses on them. Once you start running AV/Antispam and work our
expected volume you may start thinking about performance issues...

Question is what are you actually trying to achieve? Objectives? what is
your business problem?

Start from there and work your way out.

There are plenty of companies offering hosted mail solution which may
turn way cheaper then doing it yourself and so on.
