IPMI SOL setup on FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 supermicro X9SCM-F/X9CL-F
I have a couple servers that are built using the supermicro X9SCM-F/X9CL-F motherboards, and I can't quite get IPMI SOL working right. These motherboards have 3 NIC's. One NIC is for a dedicated IPMI interface. I have both servers configured to use the dedicated IPMI NIC and these NIC's are plugged into a separate unmanaged switch. Both systems boards are set to redirect com1. I changed /etc/ttys to run a getty on /dev/ttyu0. I have com1 configured to 115,200 baud, 8, n, 1, no flowcontrol in the BIOS. I in have /etc/ttys: ttyu0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 vt100 on secure Using one server, I start an IPMI SOL session to the other server. But all I get is the IPMI SOL output, no login prompt. If I reboot the server I am SOL connected to, I do see the BIOS boot messages, and even the initial FreeBSD boot prompt. I can even make boot prompt changes from the SOL session. Once boot starts the SOL gets no more output. I looked at both servers and the one I am using to initiate the SOL has /dev/ipmi0 and ipmitool working fine. On the server I am trying to connect to has /dev/ipmi1 and ipmitool errors: Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory These are identical motherboards. I suspect that because the one system creates /dev/ipmi1 instead of /dev/ipmi0 may be why the SOL output stops right after the boot starts. If I do: ln -s /dev/ipmi1 /dev/ipmi0 ipmitool works fine, until the next reboot. How can I get the one system to make /dev/ipmi0 instead of /dev/ipmi1? In FreeBSD 9.1 do I use hint.uart instead of hint.sio in /boot/loader.conf?

Here's what I tried already: o) Re-download the installation ISO - same checksum - same result o) Instead of booting directly I issued the following two commands on the loader prompt: set kern.eventtimer.periodic=1 set kern.eventtimer.timer=LAPIC followed by boot Neither of these helped. To cross-check I tried booting of a FreeBSD 8 installation media - no problems at all (besides that the machine is running FreeBSD8 currently without problems) Any clue what could be wrong here and what I can do in order to make this box boot from the installation media?

I have experienced some crashes and some hangs when trying to boot different hardware via an ISO virtually mounted and also booting via USB key. I believe the issues come down to timing issues, where in the boot process the kernel expects to have some required /tmp space on physical disk. You may need to create a RAID volume you plan to use for the filesystems first. Also check compatibility with your hardware. While it can be a pain, to debug something like this, I have booted systems at data centers where I have a console connected and using a CD or DVD drive (external USB if no internal device is installed.) -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ 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

Thanks a lot!. Simple an elegant solution. I just did that and of course it worked I just was wondering... what if I need to have the service working BUT want to block those break attemps? IN this and other services. ? My guess is that it is a never ending process? I mean, block one, block another, another, etc? If one knows the address-blocks that legitimate customers will be using, one can block off access from 'everywhere else'. What the people who has big servers running for hosting services are doing? Or you just have a policy of strng passworrds, server up-todate and let the attemps to try forever? There are tools like 'fail2ban' that can be used to lock out persistant doorknob-rattlers. Also, one can do things like allow mail access (POP, IMAP, 'whatever') only via a port that is 'tunneled' through an SSH/SSL connection. This eliminates almost all doorknob rattling on the mail access ports, but gets lots of attempts on the SSH port. Which is generally not a problem, since the SSH keyspace is vastly larger, and more evenly distributed, than that for plaintext passwords. To eliminate virtually all the 'noise' from SSH doorknob-rattling, run it on a non-standard port. This does =not= increase the actual security of the system, but it does greatly reduce the 'noise' in the logs -- so any actual attack attempt is much more obvious. You can use /etc/hosts.allow to list your friendly IP's allowed by protocol. This provides an easy way to block all foreign users. You can use wildcards in this file, so if you need to allow users in for POP access from an ISP, you can do that. Also, if you do have wide array of addresses you need to let in, you may want to put the email services in a jail. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ 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

The existing drive uses a very funky SCSI connector that I have nothing for. The system disk is SCSI and there was one additional PATA drive used for additional storage. The PATA drive failed. It won't even stick around in /dev for more than a couple minutes after boot and there are lots of messages about bad sectors. The data is completely backed up and the that drive is over 5 years old. I removed the old drive and installed a new one. System will not boot. It hangs in the BIOS. Never gets around to installing the SCSI BIOS. My first guess was there was no boot sector on the SCSI drive. That seems unusual since my other systems boot off the SCSI drives just fine. This one used to also before I added the PATA drive. However, if I put the dead drive back in along with the new one, then it boots. This also implies that the boot sector was only on the PATA drive. But the PATA drive is for all intents and purposes dead. So how is it booting? Is there any way to look into the SCSI drive and see if there is a boot sector there? This is more a curiosity item as there are additional failures starting to occur in that computer. We are going to replace it. Its around 10 years old. Depending on your SCSI card BIOS, some allow you to set which LUN it boots. You may want to explore the SCSI settings, and try to set the new drive as the first boot device, then try removing the old drive. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ 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 have different non-overlapped subnets on used network interfaces. Actually, my machine acts as a border rather than just a router. And it needs several network interface cards (NICs) - one of them looks in my network (my Autonomous System with my internal routing), and another ones look to different ISPs with their own ASs. It gives possibility to make a choice of more cheap route to any Internet resource. By the way, when i tested just installed system under traffic load generated with iperf tool, the system worked fine during several days. Configuration was the same except only one NIC was under traffic load. And similar tests with each NIC installed in my machine yielded the same good results. Since it seems tied to load, which NIC is causing the trouble? I'd suspect the motherboard NIC. I have used many Intel NICs without problems. In multi-NIC servers I setup, I usually add a quad-port Intel card and don't use the motherboard NICs. You may want to try using a different NIC in place of the onboard and see if the problem persists. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ 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
how to remove HAL dependencies in gnome2
I source upgraded a server from 7.2 release to 8.0 release. In trying to rebuild all the ports, HAL is broken and won't compile. If I try to make config on most of those ports there is no HAL in the config. How do I get rid of these dependencies so I can get the last of the ports rebuilt? These ports all seem to be part of gnome2. -Derek derek at computinginnovations.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ 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: What does one call name server registration?

I have set up djbdns on a couple of my own servers, and want them registered AS name servers with whoever handles such registration. Most registrars allow one to just enter their hostnames and IPs and they take care of it automagically. But my once-beloved registrar HJ Linnen just outsourced all their registration services to NameScout, and they haven't got a clue. When I looked into it in my account page at NameScout, they said to email tech support, so I did. And tech support replied with the end-user instructions for assigning name servers to the domains one has registered with them. That's not what I want. What I have are two pairs in the following format: 1.2.3.4 a.ns.example.com 5.6.7.8 b.ns.example.com I would like a domain to be able to set its name servers to be a.ns.example.com and b.ns.example.com, and then when that domain is resolved the lookup is delegated to either 1.2.3.4 or 5.6.7.8. What is the process called, of registering such name servers? If I can tell NameScout support to do that for me, possibly they can get themselves a clue on my behalf. Thanks!

distributing copies of the virtual server to some others who are
working on a project with me so I really only need to be
fairly sure that no hidden gotchas are going to plague
our efforts. Having the virtual server setup is a BIG plus
when collaborating with people who only have Windows

Charlie,
I have a number of FreeBSD servers 7.0 running under ESX server 3.5. With
FreeBSD 7, it has the background fsck. I checked my servers and did see
one with an issue from fsck, but later the background fsck had it fixed.
The only issue I've had running the i386 version of FreeBSD, and other OS's
under ESX is to be sure to use the vmware tools to copy the VM's once they
are properly powered off.
You might want to try upgrading one of your VM FreeBSD servers to 7.0 and
see if the issue persists.

I have heard of people running into similar problems when running
against older server software (NT 4.0/old samba) when the SMB session
did not negotiate large file/large write support (a function of the
SMB server capabilities session negotiation)
I saw posts to that effect and that you needed samba 3.x to support large
files sizes, and the lfs option. But the mount_smbfs doesn't offer any
large file option.
Only bother with this next bit if you are morbidly curious as to how
things work rather than just want to solve your problem, as it gets
into the nitty gritty details of smb:
mount_smbfs will allow for lfs (CAP_LARGE_FILE) automatically by
specifying it's dialect capabilities in the smb negotiation.
If you umount your smb share, then start a tcpdump you can capture the
smb negotiation Capabilities bitmask to see if CAP_LARGE_FILE is
being negotiated - the server specifies this capability. The client
just sends the dialects of smb supported.For example:
tcpdump -vvv -s 1500 -i em0 host server.example.com | grep Capabilities
{ where em0 is the network interface in use on FreeBSD and
server.example.com is the hostname/ip address of your smb server }
Then do a mount of the smb share (while tcpdump is running) and you
should capture the Capabilities negotiated.
For example:
Capabilities=0x1F3FD
If you decode the bitmask by using this reference :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302230.aspx {hint: only
look at the last four bytes of the Capabilities line (e.g. F3FD in my

If you have the FreeBSD ports collection installed and updated using portsnap(8) or csup(1) , just do: cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable make install Otherwise, install / update your ports collection using portsnap(8) (fetch update or fetch extract) first, then install openssh-portable.

Today I noticed the comments shown above that it was apparently actually related to ssh (scp). The fired a synapse of a recent session failure I was having after updating a server to 7.0 that normally accrues about a gig of changes a day. My backup server was running 5.5 and rsyncing the diffs each day. After the upgrade of the application server, the 5.5 client began to hang it's rsync session every day. I updated the 5.5 server to 7.0 (which OBTW replaced the ssh suite) and the problem disappeared. I didn't see in the thread what the actual ssh client OS or rev was but perhaps the client is downrev and there is an issue there. I did no research to figure out why, having my backup server so far downrevved made it's upgrade my first potshot and it worked. Chris, Thanks for the additional input.

This problem occurs under the following scenario:
I have a windows share mounted on a FreeBSD 7.0 release (i386) using
mount_smbfs.
I was trying to scp from another server on the LAN to this share a 30GB
file. The scp only copied 2 GB of that 30 GB file. This was using the
scp on FreeBSD 7.0.
I will try another scp application to determine if it is the scp, or
mount_smbfs.

transfer that 30 GB file from that source server to another *nix server on
the LAN.

Supposedly there is an smbmount as part of the

ports.
smbmount is not included in the FreeBSD port of samba, as it is Linux
kernel specific. mount_smbfs(8) is the correct userland app.
You could always try the samba smbclient(1) to access SMB shares using
an FTP-like environment.
I saw that as an option. I may try that to test this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry I do not have a good solution for you. Perhaps someone else

Re: space char shell script problem

I am running into a problem with the space character in filenames.
For instance, If I want to run the script;
for x in `ls`
do

then filenames that have a space in them ie: john smith.jpg
are processed by my script as two names, john and smith.jpg.
What is the best way to deal with this type of space problem in the shell?
I know that file names in quotes solves some problems but I can't tranfer
that to my script.
Depending on what your script is doing, I would use an intermediate file
and awk.
Something like:
ls /tmp/mytempfile
cat /tmp/mytempfile | awk '{ print $0 }'
if you are looking for something special add grep to the mix:
cat /tmp/mytempfile | awk '{ print $0 }'|grep -i [some name pattern]
rm /tmp/mytempfile
You can save the results to another temporary file for more processing, or
use awk more to create commandlines to execute in another script file such as:
cat /tmp/mytempfile | awk '{ print $0 }'|grep -i [some name pattern] | awk
'{printfcp %s /backup/backupdir\n, $0)}' /tmp/mycopyscript
chmod +x /tmp/mycopyscript
/tmp/mycopyscript
So depending on what your original script was doing, this method may work
for you.

With courier, I was able to specify specific ports to communicate with on a per domain basis. For example, if I was relaying for example.org on port 2345, I would specify example.org:2345 and that is the port it would use to talk to example.org. Now that I have switched to sendmail, I don't see a way to set the destination port on a per domain basis, only on an all or nothing basis. Am I missing some piece of the documentation or is this an actual limitation of sendmail?

I also did a very deep research in google and found more people with the same problem and everyone of them without a solution. I guess that it's a issue between Samba and FreeBSD. I do say that 'cuz on Linux+Samba (Debian Kernel+Samba.deb) this issue does not appear. Anyway, If you have another idea. BTW, this box was the same box that used to run Windows 2003 with SQL Server. Thank you for the support. Best Regards, Mauro Ribeiro Mauro, I'd look at your samba configuration and DNS configuration. If you have samba running on another *NIX OS faster I'd compare the samba, authentication, and dns configurations. I'd still suggest you buy a new intel ethernet. These are not expensive and I know they work well under any load. For a test, you could also try FreeNAS instead of FreeBSD+Samba. It is essentially the same but all packaged for file sharing. -Derek -Mensagem original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Em nome de Derek Ragona Enviada em: quinta-feira, 14 de agosto de 2008 17:39 Para: Mauro Ribeiro - Class Consultoria e Assessoria; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Assunto: Re: RES: Very Slow Samba At 03:22 PM 8/14/2008, Mauro Ribeiro - Class Consultoria e Assessoria wrote: Hi Derek, I don't use authentication on this server, no internet connection.

My problem is our main requirement is to have a way to view the logs on a web based interface that will allow our system administrators when a customer complains they didn't receive an email to be able to go into the logs and search by date/time and view the activity for that period to determine if the mail went through our system or if it was blocked and if so why. I've heard of and read about a few different programs like SMA and Anteater and pflogstats, but I don't know if these will have the functionality I need to allow admins to search logs for a specific date/time and/or specific phrase/address on a web based interface. I appreciate any help, advice in making this decision. Josh Josh, I use sendmail and sma. But I don't these fit your needs. In fact, I doubt you will find an opensource solution that does.

I am reading on another forum the installation is incorrect and to try again, however I have tried many times. Do you think the minimun install is not enough to allow for bootup? Before you exit sysinstall, go to the emergency shell I believe alt+F4 will get you there. Then do: mount The output from mount will show where the new filesystems are mounted. You can check that /boot is populated and that you have a kernel in /boot/kernel/kernel. To check those you'd type: ls -al [fill in the root mount point]/boot and ls -al [fill in the root mount point]/boot/kernel/kernel Check your BIOS settings.

Re: memory allocation with malloc

Hi All,
I am trying to validate my understanding of how malloc works by means
of the below C program which tries to corrupt essential information
maintained by malloc for free() operation.
The program allocates 4, 12 byte blocks (internally 16 bytes are allocated
for each 12 byte block). Hence the total allocated space was 48 bytes.
As malloc maintains the (length of allocated block + 1), 4 bytes before the
returned pointer (from malloc), I have manipulated this length for the first
block and set it to 49 with the goal that a single free shall release all
these 4 blocks and a subsequent malloc of 15 bytes shall be from the address
of first block.
However, this does not happen. Can someone please correct my understanding
and provide me with a reference to the working of malloc() and free()?

I'm not quite sure what it is you want to accomplish with this
program. However, malloc and free work on the program's given data
area. This data area can be increased should there be a need for more
memory.
You should NEVER assume that memory blocks are contiguous. There are many
reasons why they would not be contiguous among them compiler
optimizations. If you really want to delve into how a program is executed,
have the compiler output the assembler code and look at that. The
assembler code will show exactly how and where the variables are
allocated. With such small amount of data used in your program, it is
possible the variables are all just on the stack.
You may want to check out the brk and sbrk man pages as they will give you
some information into how memory management was originally done as these
functions are lower-level than malloc and free.

I can not see see ahd0 in fdisk. There are alot of posts over the years reporting trouble with the Dell(Adaptec/Seagate) combiniation. The funny thing is that I am having none of these troubles; There are no panics, no dumps and no lengthy pauses. It all seems fine, until I try to select the disk to install to and I only have da0 or da1. Thanks for your time Have you defined an array? If you create the array in the adaptec BIOS you will see one large hard disk in FreeBSD. If you do not define an array in the adaptec BIOS you will see the individual SCSI drives as da0, da1, etc. The GENERIC kernel has all the typical SCSI and RAID adapters compiled in, so look at the dmesg output when you boot FreeBSD. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by http://www.mailscanner.info/MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by http://www.mailscanner.info/MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Every Workstation on the LAN would have an appropriate cf file which forwards mails with a destination on the WAN - to the WAN-Smarthost, any mail going to a destination from inside the LAN would be delivered directly to the destination host without involving a (LAN) smarthost. Is that possible somehow? Thanks for your help Bruno That scenario is possible, but you may still need DNS MX records to point to the smart host as well. You can have multiple MX records for a domain (or subdomain) where the value field is higher for a farther away mail server, or for a secondary mail server. Sendmail uses DNS to figure routing along with the internal configuration file UNLESS you specify to sendmail to NOT use DNS. So you have some choices in how you configure sendmail and/or DNS. Also it may help you to test things on one system and bump up the sendmail logging so the /var/log/maillog file has more information. Use the option: -O LogLevel=80 Or some other value than 80. You can add these options to your sendmail flags in /etc/rc.conf -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a Mail Hub outside the Class B Net which communicates with the Internet and delivers the mails sent by the workstations. All workstations have a Smarthost entry in the cf file. Incoming mails are collected by the mailhub, which provides IMAP and POP access for all workstations. No mail coming from the Internet will be delivered directly to the workstations. Everything works fine, exept one (small) problem. How can I configure the sendmal.cf from the local workstations to send the mail addressed to a neighbour workstation (eg. from host1.intra015.bnet.ourdomain.com to host2.intra016.bnet.ourdomain.com) directly. Sending it to the mailhub and then sending it back to the Intranet is no option due to firewall restrictions. I apreciate any help, thanks Bruno Bruno, If I understand your question correctly, you will need to smarthosts, one on the LAN side, and one on the WAN/internet side. You will have to setup the LAN smarthost to forward mail to the WAN smarthost that it cannot deliver. You will have to enable the LAN smarthost and WAN smarthost to be able to pass mail through your firewall. Sendmail uses DNS for most host resolution, so you will need to setup MX records for the various LAN hosts to go to the LAN smarthost. Hope this helps. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From what I can determine, running netif stop/start would work, but would require I do that locally. You pretty much need to be on the console rather than ssh'd in to make those changes interactively.

Re: sendmail on server with ip aliases and virtual hosts
At 11:26 AM 7/2/2008, D W wrote: Hello, Having a problem with sendmail on some of my servers supporting several virtual apache hosts. Because these servers have 5-10 ip aliases bound, it sometimes trips up sendmail when sending outbound mail to my smarthost. All servers are configured to use the same smarthost. But on one of the hosts, sendmail will send out as the one of the virtual hosts instead of the main host, which is what I need. Example: webhost01.webdomain.com (10.10.0.1) is the main host. mail01.webdomain.com (10.10.10.2) is the smarthost. Five ip aliases for apache virtual servers: www.siteA.com (10.10.20.1) www.siteB.com (10.10.20.2) www.siteC.com (10.10.20.3) www.siteD.com (10.10.20.4) www.siteE.com (10.10.20.5) But when one I try to: $ telnet mail01.webdomain.com 25 and watch the maillog on the smarthost, it tells me the connection is coming from www.siteA.com (or one of the other virtual ip aliases/hosts) instead of the main host, webhost01.webdomian.com. This will cause relaying denied failures on the smarthost, unless I go into the local-host-names and account for every virtual host and add it. The other puzzling thing is that I have 9 other main hosts with many virtual hosts, and they all seem to be working the way I expect; ie., outbound mail is coming from the main host name/ip instead of one of the aliases. It's just this webhost01 that is messed up I can't figure out why. The other thing is that if I destroy an alias, sendmail will use another aliases, then if I put the destroyed virtual alias back, it may or may not use it again when sending email. How do I get sendmail to just send *everything* as from the main host and connect on the main ip address instead of one of the aliases? I have in /etc/mail/webhost01.webdomain.com.mc: OSTYPE(freebsd6) DOMAIN(generic) FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -TTMPF /etc/mail/access') FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) FEATURE(local_lmtp) FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable') FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(`genericstable') GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains') MASQUERADE_AS(`webhost01.webdomain.com') define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `webhost01.webdomain.com') define(`SMART_HOST', `mail01.webdomain.com') and in generics-domains: webhost01.webdomain.com Thanks for any help. I would suggest you check both your forward and reverse DNS's for all these domains. Sendmail will use the DNS listings. Are your virtual apache server's sending the emails from webpages? If so, check your setup on those virtual servers that you are specifying the from address including the correct domain. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mirroring offers redundancy but uses twice the disk space, AND is slower than striping. Mirror + striping offers the best of both speed with redundancy. However this configuration requires drive arrays of at least 4 drives and usually drives are added in 4's. For complete safety you should have two drives in the array as hot spares as you can lose two drives. Raid 5 attempts to offer data protection via saving parity checksums in another location. However, it is possible to have both the data area fail, and the parity fail, making a rebuild impossible. This can happen if you have two drives fail. In newer hardware offering RAID 6, the parity is saved to 2 different drives, making the failure less likely. I would suggest you wither do mirrored, or mirrored + striped as these are older drives you are using. For those of us that have lost drives in various ways, they die on their own of age, power problems will kill drives (from bad AC power AND/OR bad power supplies), heat of course will kill drives, etc. Since most drives are installed at the same time often from the same manufacturer's lot, if there is any sensitivity or defect, you can easily lose multiple drives that way as well. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Comments, questions and complaints all welcomed.
Add:
set -x
at the top of the script and run the output to a file as you were doing. I
would add a path to the logfile though and don't worry about the daemon like:
/usr/local/sbin/ntpd start 21 /tmp/logfile
Then you can kill it off and see what the startup looked like in the logfile.
