Re: Can't log in as toor since package update

2011-09-12 Thread Ivailo Tanusheff
I don't really believe that toor user should be used like that - check the 
handbook for example. You better use normal user or the root itself.
In 8.x the described is a normal behaviour.

Can't log in as toor since package update






I use the toor login on my FreeBSD systems to log in with the korn 
shell.  Since August 22, When I try to log in as toor or even when I try 
to su - toor, I get logged in as root.  For example:

ushers# ssh -l toor woodstock

It turns out this was a bug introduced in version 272 of xterm which was 
one of the packages I updated.  The maintainer was able to reproduce and 
fix the bug which will be in version 275 of xterm.

I've used Avocent KVMs and this does not seem to be an issue with them.

Currently I have a Avocent Switchview 100 PS/2 two-port sharing the

where the switch is pointing and which is booting.  I do not use a GUI

 There's often a key sequence to advance to the next port or a specific
 port.

 That can _sometimes_ be a problem when the KVM switch
 doesn't properly detect this sequence - or maybe the
 user has already defined that sequence for some action
 in X, so X catches the sequence and acts properly.

X catching the sequence won't stop the switch from reacting to it --
it's done in hardware in the switch.  But of course X may do something
undesirable if the switch passes the key combination through.

The two most common ones are Ctrl, Alt, Shift (rapidly in sequence)
followed by a port number, or Ctrl twice.  The latter can be a little
too easy to trigger accidentally.

The USB switches generally emulate a generic USB keyboard and mouse,
so drivers aren't a problem.  Sometimes they work by simulating a USB
disconnect from the machine they're switching to, though, so you need
good keyboard and mouse hotplug support in the OS.

Generally these switches don't react well to having anything but a
keyboard in the keyboard port and a mouse in the mouse port.  If you
have a hub built into your keyboard the hub will be useless when
you're using one of these switches.

Re: Need an audio multicasting solution

2011-09-12 Thread Michael Cardell Widerkrantz
Victor Sudakov v...@mpeks.tomsk.su, 2011-09-09 08:21 (+0200):

 I need a solution to read sound from a soundcard (/dev/dsp) and
 multicast it into the network, for the multicast audio stream to be
 played on FreeBSD, Linux and Windows workstations. 

Does the old LBL vat tool still work on modern system?

  http://ee.lbl.gov/vat/

I haven't used it for 15 years or so but it worked back then.

Also, the Robust Audio Tool (rat) might still work. Seems to need work
to get it running on FreeBSD according to their website but it used to
work on FreeBSD. Again, it was over ten years ago I used this. It seems
to live here nowadays:

  http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia/wiki/RatWiki#RobustAudioToolRAT

Quotes:

  RAT require no special features for point-to-point communication, just
  a network connection and a soundcard. For multiparty conferencing RAT
  uses IP multicast and therefore all participants must reside on a
  multicast capable network.

  ...

  RAT is a cross platform tool which is now available for Linux and
  WinXP. In the past it was also maintained for use a variety of
  operating systems including: FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, NetBSD, Solaris,
  SunOS, and Windows 95/NT. Users are welcome to test and contribute
  code for any of these other OSes. Please let us know or contribute to

Negative ping times with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE on older Celeron system

2011-09-12 Thread Brett Glass

Here's a puzzler.

I just put FreeBSD 8.1 up on an old (but good) 500 MHz Celeron with 
half a gig of RAM. Interfaces are classic xl (3Com) and dc (DEC 
tulip). Works quite nicely except for one quirk: ping times that 
ought to be positive (no more than 200 ms worst case) are coming 
out negative! Can't figure out what might be causing this. dmesg 
output is as follows:

Yes, I thought of something like that _might_ happen,
depending on the firmware of the KVM switch. You know,
keys that are useful to users may be a first-class
candidate for the manufacturer to say: Oh look, nobody
uses *that* key, let's hardcode it as switching key! :-)



 The two most common ones are Ctrl, Alt, Shift (rapidly in sequence)
 followed by a port number, or Ctrl twice.  The latter can be a little
 too easy to trigger accidentally.

Fully agree, that's not very well thought... but maybe
the product designers primarily orient at the Windows
main target group that hardly uses the keyboard. :-)



 The USB switches generally emulate a generic USB keyboard and mouse,
 so drivers aren't a problem.  Sometimes they work by simulating a USB
 disconnect from the machine they're switching to, though, so you need
 good keyboard and mouse hotplug support in the OS.

FreeBSD's devd should handle that fine. Also the absense
of a keyboard at system startup shouldn't matter.



 Generally these switches don't react well to having anything but a
 keyboard in the keyboard port and a mouse in the mouse port.  If you
 have a hub built into your keyboard the hub will be useless when
 you're using one of these switches.

Uh, that can be a problem when using professional desktop
equipment, e. g. a Sun keyboard where you can connect the
mouse directly to the keyboard (a feature known from the
Apple ADB configurations of the 80's, if I remember correct-
ly, but Sun also had this functionality in the pre-USB era;
it's also a feature returning in Apple's modern USB products
to attach the short-wired mouse to the keyboard's USB hub).
I furthermore assume using the keyboard's hub for attaching
other USB devices (memory sticks, MP3 players or cameras)
to the keyboard's hub is a no-go then.



Regarding the possible problem with monitors:

As an example, the Nvidia documentation (HTML version located 
at /usr/local/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/html/) contains this
interesting option:

Option ConnectedMonitor string

Allows you to override what the NVIDIA kernel module
detects is connected to your graphics card. This may
be useful, for example, if you use a KVM (keyboard,
video, mouse) switch and you are switched away when
X is started. In such a situation, the NVIDIA kernel
module cannot detect which display devices are connected,
and the NVIDIA X driver assumes you have a single CRT.

Something similar _may_ be useful in case of too much malfunctioning
autodetection magic. :-)

  How to obtain what take space on /var

 RB Probably, you *don't*.  grin

 RB df _is_ telling the truth.
 RB 'du' is, arguably, 'telling lies'.

 RB The difference concerns files that have been deleted (rm) _after_
 RB they have been opened, and not yet closed.  The file handle/descriptor
 RB that  has the file open silll has access to all the data in the file.
 RB but *NOTHING*ELSE* -- inlcuding 'du' -- can access that file, so the
 RB space occupied by that deletedd file is not counted.

 RB Note: this *IS* a FAQ.

 thank you very much.

 fstat -f /var tell me that process snmpd with file descriptor 3 take
 spece:

RB It's not unreasonable that snmpd (the 'simple network management protocol'
RB daemon) needs a *lot* of private storage.

RB In short, don't worry about it.


Ok, How you can explain this:

You find the inode number with fstat then use find to translate it to a
filename.  It works fine here, if it doesn't work for you perhaps you have a
user error or there is some other sort of bug.

 You find the inode number with fstat(1) then use find(1) to translate it to
 a filename.  It works fine here, if it doesn't work for you perhaps you have
 a user error or there is some other sort of bug.


One other thing, it's possible the inode is gone by the time you have run
find(1) so be sure you are working with current fstat(1) output.  May be
easier to script the transform if this is something you are doing regularly.

Crash when copying large files

2011-09-12 Thread Toomas Aas

Hello!

I'm trying to move a filesystem to a new larger RAID volume. The old  
filesystem was using gjournal, and I have also created the new  
filesystem with gjournal. The FS in question holds the DocumentRoot of  
our web server, and in its depths, a couple of fairly large (several  
gigabytes) files are lurking.


I've mounted the new FS under /mnt and use tar to transfer the files:

cd /mnt
tar -c -v -f - -C /docroot . | tar xf -

It seems that these large files cause a problem. Sometimes when the  
process reaches one of these files, the machine reboots. It doesn't  
create a crashdump in /var/crash, which may be because the system has  
less swap (2 GB) than RAM (8 GB). Fortunately the machine comes back  
up OK, except that the target FS (/mnt) is corrupt and needs to be  
fsck'd. I've tried to re-run the process three times now, and caused  
the machine to crash as it reaches one or another large file. Any  
ideas what I should do to avoid the crash?


The OS version is 7.3 (amd64).

The par program operates on a per-file basis. In case that
causes a problem, try to leave this route and use the old-
fashioned tools dump and restore.

Make sure the file system isn't mounted, then use:

# cd /your/target/directory
# dump -0 -f - /dev/sourcedev | restore -r -f -

wheree sourcedev refers to the device you've initially
mounted /mnt from.

You probably wanted -p flag on the extract side.
The manpage recommends one of the following constructs:

 To move file hierarchies, invoke tar as
   tar -cf - -C srcdir . | tar -xpf - -C destdir
 or more traditionally
   cd srcdir ; tar -cf - . | (cd destdir ; tar -xpf -)

However, this isn't going to resolve the system panic'ing.

Right, a machine with 8GB of RAM isn't going to be able to dump to a 2GB swap 
area.  (Although, I seem to recall some folks working on compressed crash 
dumps, but I don't know what state that is in.)  But you can set hw.physmem in 
loader.conf to limit the RAM being used to 2GB so you can generate a crash dump 
if you wanted to debug it further.

How big are your multi-GB files, anyway?

If you want a workaround to avoid the crash, consider using either rsync or 
dump/restore to copy the filesystem, rather than using tar.

RE: Negative ping times with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE on older Celeron system

2011-09-12 Thread Brett Glass

More information regarding the odd behavior I'm seeing. Turns out
that packets do not even need to leave the machine for it to
report large negative ping times, on the order of more than half
a second. (See below.) Clearly something is odd about timekeeping
in this system (SiS motherboard chipset, PII-generation Celeron
but still effectively a 686) which was not a problem when it was
running FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE (as it was before). What's more, it
appears that the negative ping times being shown for pings of
localhost are off by about -687 ms, consistently. Any ideas?
I am wondering if perhaps some recent change to the kernel
assumed that one would always have a faster CPU than the old
Celeron this machine is running, and that there is a race
condition or an error in the kernel code.

Your system's timekeeping appears to be busted.  Are you running ntpd with 
tinker step 0.0 or some home-grown mechanism which might be forcibly stepping 
the clock rather than skewing it, by any chance?

Anyway, the output of:

  sysctl -a kern.timecounter

...is likely to be informative.  Try switching to another clock type, 
especially ACPI-safe if it hasn't been chosen by default.  Your CPU is probably 
too old to have a power-state invariant TSC, but if you disable SpeedStep, 
powerd and similar which might change the processor frequency, TSC might work 
OK also.

Re: Negative ping times with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE on older Celeron system

2011-09-12 Thread b. f.
 I just put FreeBSD 8.1 up on an old (but good) 500 MHz Celeron with
 half a gig of RAM. Interfaces are classic xl (3Com) and dc (DEC
 tulip). Works quite nicely except for one quirk: ping times that
 ought to be positive (no more than 200 ms worst case) are coming
 out negative! Can't figure out what might be causing this. dmesg
 output is as follows:

If you are just upgrading now, why not use 9 BETA?  I think that your
older machine will be much happier -- the new timer code in 9 has a
bunch of bugfixes, allows for a wider choice of alternative timers, in
case some are broken, and places lighter loads on the system, by
allowing some (formerly periodic) timer use to be deferred.  And then
there is the host of other improvements...

ssh with bridged ap

2011-09-12 Thread george vagner
I have set up wireless AP with a static IP and bridged it to my internal
wired network on RE0.

I can successfully connect with WPA to the wireless network and browse other
computers on the wired net fine,
I can log into the freebsd machine using ssh no problem as long as if I
connect via the wireless network.

If I try and log into the freebsd machine using the wired network I get a
log in prompt for username
Then I get the password prompt but after typing in my password it always
says login incorrect, it don't do this if I am on the wireless net.

Maybe something in the sshd config about bridged connections?

This is very instructive. I didn't know that FreeBSD used the Pentium internal 
timestamp counter for anything but profiling.

I am noticing here that the mask (which I assume is the maximum value just 
before a rollover) for the ACPI-safe timer is very small. Maybe it's rolling 
over very frequently and/or the system is missing some of the rollovers. This 
would cause it to calculate negative times, of course.

Try switching to another clock type, especially ACPI-safe if it hasn't been 
chosen by default.  

No docs on how to do this. Is this done by, for example, setting 

kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC

in loader.conf?

Your CPU is probably too old to have a power-state invariant TSC, but if you 
disable SpeedStep, powerd and similar which might change the processor 
frequency, TSC might work OK also.

I've already turned off all power saving mechanisms listed in the BIOs setup, 
including clock speed modulation. So, the TSC ought to be pretty stable. At 
least it's worth a shot.

Production machine.

Also, whenever we create a new production box, we normally pick the
release (not beta; we need to be able to do binary upgrades and
this is only supported from one release to another) with the EOL
that's the farthest out.

We'll retire the hardware before we will run non-release code on a
production box.

how to make devfs show fdisk updates?

2011-09-12 Thread Benjamin Kaduk

Dear all,

I have recently been using fdisk(8) to activate additional partitions, but 
have been unable to cause the device nodes corresponding to the new 
partition to appear in /dev other than by rebooting.  (This is on the 
device which contains the root filesystem, so kern.geom.debugflags=16 is 
necessary to perform the fdisk.)
Please advise on how to effect the creation of the device node(s) in a 
non-disruptive fashion.


Thanks,

Ben Kaduk

I think it's still common practice to taste
the device file in order to make new partitions
show up:

# true  /dev/da0

In this example, I assume that da0 is the _disk_
in question where you've added partitions. Now
the proper device files (e. g. /dev/da0a, /dev/da0d,
/dev/da0e, /dev/da0f... resp. /dev/da0s1a, /dev/da0s1d,
/dev/da0s1e, /dev/da0s1f...) should appear in
the device file system.

You can force a GEOM retaste by issuing a true  /dev/devname.

it's a runtime tunable so /etc/sysctl.conf

and the sysctl -a kern.timecounter doesn't need a -a
