Re: Anyone using squid and pf?
24.11.2012 17:39, Leslie Jensen: I've upgraded squid from 3.1 to 3.2. Starting squid 3.2 with the same configuration file now gives me errors in cache.log when one tries to access any site, and of course no access! 2012/11/24 16:24:56 kid1| WARNING: Forwarding loop detected for: Reverting back to 3.1 works. I know there are some changes in 3.2 that does this + 3.2 intercept port receiving forward-proxy requests will reject them due to NAT failure/lies. + 3.2 Host header validation *will* reject if forward traffic is validated as being intercepted. I would appreciate suggestions for changes to squid.conf so that squid will work for me with version 3.2. When switching to 3.2 I had to split listening ports - one for transparency and one for the local machine. However this doesn't looks like your case.

This is what you should be able to do: % host 0.freebsd.pool.org 0.freebsd.pool.org has address 64.99.80.30 I get this error, unless I enter my login info; and after I had entered my login info, if I don't do anything else right away, this error message comes back. That's normal as NTP tries to make a connection to the specified server as long as it's running. You'll find the NTP related settings (ntpdate, ntpd) in /etc/rc.conf, plus examples and explanations in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. And the time is wrong too. Of course the time is wrong: It could not be adjusted because the required Internet connection to obtain the current time could not be made. You can manually set the time using the date command. See man date for details. Also, I received 4 installer discs: 2 installers and 2 important packages (2 for amd64 and 2 for i386), how do I read the appropriate Important Packages disc in? According to what architecture you're using (i386 _or_ amd64), you would probably use bsdinstall to deal with those discs (at least the older installer, sysinstall, could be used to install packages from the CDs or DVDs, so I assume this functionality would also be part of bsdinstall). The discs contain precompiled binary packages that you _can_ install (there is basically no need that forces you to install all of them!) by using the system's package management command, pkg_add (resp. pkg add). Simply mount the disc and install what you need. Those discs are typically provided for offline use when you cannot download software from the Internet. I assume you're using FreeBSD 9 already. In this case, refering to The FreeBSD Handbook about the steps of installation might be a good idea: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html I've got no deeper experience with bsdinstall so far, that's why I can't be more specific, sorry. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

bge driver for BCM5719 not working (9.1-RC3)
Hi, I'm having a hard time getting FreeBSD 9.1 RC3 running on a HP Proliant 385p G8. Installation runs so far, however I can't get any network interfaces up and running. The output of dmesg ... link states coalesced messages and correspondigly in /var/log/messages I have numerous messages like bge0: link state changed to UP, followed by bge0: link state changed to DOWN. I've already ruled out the following: o) Wiring - OK (even changed cable) o) different switchport o) Check for latest firmware on machine including iLO - already got that The problem is that I can't connect to the network in any way, so I'm stuck with my installation off the ISO-image with no way of updating my system :-( Interestingly enough the MAC-address of the machine in question shows up on the switch, so the server does have a link to the switch - without being able to communicate though. Digging around I came across the following PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171121 So here are my questions: o) Is there any chance this will be fixed in the 9.1-release? (the PR mentions that the patch has been committed to -CURRENT) o) How do I go about updating my system without network connectivity?

Most importantly, 'extract' and 'update' aren't compatible. 'extract' says 'take all the data you downloaded, synthesize a *complete* ports tree from it, and overwrite /usr/ports with that, never mind what might have been there before'. 'update' says 'just add the changed bits since the last time you ran portsnap' ie. you only need to run 'extract' *once*, then you keep up to date by running 'update' at intervals. Secondly, for the sake of the servers, please don't run 'portsnap fetch' from a cron job. You're not the only person to think of doing that, and most people who do have the job run at the top of the hour. This is bad. The servers really don't like it when several thousand cronjobs all fire off simultaneously and the system load goes through the roof. Which is why 'portsnap cron' exists -- it does exactly the same as fetch, except it waits for a random amount of time before pulling down any data. Thirdly, you can tell portsnap several commands at once. So change your cron invocation to just: portsnap cron update and you should be happy. Initially I just had `csup -z -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/9.x-ports` where 9.x-ports was an edited version of ports-supfile. Now I have an /etc/portsnap.con with the equivalent edits from my 9.x-ports Is this how best to do it? No. You almost never need to modify the default portsnap.conf at all. portsnap works best if you use it to maintain a complete ports tree. It also automatically uses a geographically close server for best performance. And now I need to find an alternative to handle the src updates using svn or something... SVN works, but isn't amazingly quick. If you're on a release branch you can get the src (and just the src) using freebsd-update(8), which should be pretty speedy and which I think is going to be the officially blessed method for non-developers to keep up to date. Although anyone will still be able to use SVN if they want to. You'll need to tweak /etc/freebsd-update.conf slightly to get just the system sources. It's pretty obvious what to do.

I don't get what you're trying to show here. What commands you've run indicate that: 1/ you have an up to date ports tree 2/ one of the installed ports needs to be updated So what ? Just run # portmaster libreoffice I think you might be confused, new version available means that you have version 1.2.3 installed and that 1.2.4 is available *from the local ports tree*. It does not indicate that there is a newer version of a package available remotely and that you should update your ports tree. Hope this helps.

You're not the only person to think of doing that, and most people who do have the job run at the top of the hour. This is bad. The servers really don't like it when several thousand cronjobs all fire off simultaneously and the system load goes through the roof. Which is why 'portsnap cron' exists -- it does exactly the same as fetch, except it waits for a random amount of time before pulling down any data. More generally, a cron job can be run with a random delay added before the real job kicks off. Just prefix the command you want cron to run like so: sleep $(jot -r 1 1 900) command to run If you like, replace 900 with some other number to change the upper bound on the number of seconds to delay. portsnap has a cron command that does 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
RE: When Is The Ports Tree Going To Be Updated?
So is portsnap cron update and portsnap fetch update doing the same thing? Whichever way, it sounds like I need an initial run of portsnap extract before putting this in crontab. From scratch, you need to portsnap fetch extract to establish your ports directory. After that you either use portsnap fetch update to interactively update or use portsnap cron update for a cron script. Fetch and Cron are identical except Cron adds a randomized time delay so as not to fire off EXACTLY at the time you set. This helps prevent everyone and their brother nailing the update server exactly at midnight every night, but rather spread it out a few minutes. Do NOT use a randomizer on your cron timer with portsnap cron or you will be double randomizing and wondering why it seems to never be updating sometimes. ___ 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

But, svn offers to a user a unique view into ports repo, e.g. history, logs, info, attributes, etc. jb ___ 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: VPS FreeBSD Hosting
Hello, We at SmartServ Hosting, http://www.smart-serv.net/, have been offering VPS containers supporting FreeBSD for over a year and previously ran all our services from FreeBSD on bare metal before moving into our virtualization environment where we continue to use FreeBSD for our core services. We have hosts available in US and France currently.

At the time VPS looked like too many problems. Now, however, it looks like there are quite a number of mature VPS hosting services that are FreeBSD-centric at very attractive prices. Most offer KVM or VPS-instance access to allow rebooting and reinstallation. Can anyone comment on the providers and the technology in the context of having used them specifically for FreeBSD in the last few years? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I could be wrong here but I think you have a loop. You are redirecting
from local interface to local interface i.e. the result of redirect is
still subject for redirect. Could you try one of the following:
1. Make this a `rdr in on $int_if`.
2. Make this a `rdr pass ... - 127.0.0.1 port 8080`. I prefer this way
so port for transparent forwarding is unreachable except when explicitly
redirecting to it.
Personally I newer allow such ambiguity in my configs.

Advanced Format Drive ?
Just a brief follow-up on my questions here (about 2 weeks ago) regarding so-called Advanced Format (4KB block) drives... I just got myself a shiny new Seagate 2.5 portable external 1TB hard drive. fdisk is telling me this about it: === *** Working on device /dev/da1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=121601 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=121601 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(NTFS, OS/2 HPFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) start 2048, size 1953519616 (953867 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ head 32/ sector 33; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED === Starting sector 2048 is definitely a multiple of 4KB, so I am assuming that all I really need to do here in order to use this new drive as extra stroage for a FreeBSD system (assuming that I am happy with good old fashioned MBR style partitioning, which I am) is just: newfs -U /dev/da1s1 Right?
