running out of mbuf clusters
Hi, I'm running a shaper system on a FreeBSD box. It is pushing sustained 8 Mbps. In the messages log I'm getting lots of Dec 11 21:03:54 ritalin /kernel: All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning(7). When I run netstat -m however I get $ netstat -m 1766/5904/8 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 1766 mbufs allocated to data 1765/5900/2 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 13276 Kbytes allocated to network (22% of mb_map in use) 30 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines Why is it saying its run out of mbuf clusters when it peaked at 5900? The machine is running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. The reason for this is that it is a shaper appliance, and it was shipped to us with 4.9 on it.

OT: Bind secondary
Hi, I am playing at being secondary for many domains from a few hosts. Is there any way in bind of saying I trust this guy there, so if he tries to give me a domain I will just accept it. or do I have to manually add the zone to my list of secondaries.

You can change this) which is why I say 20 gigs. 256M in /tmp is fine /var you want to be quite big if you're running a production server or a mysql box, because db files and logs and mail etc. go to /var by default. I find it easier to make /var big than create symlinks or modify where things go. Splitting /var and /var/mail is a good idea because if /var fills up with logs then you'll still receive mail. For the same reason its a good idea to make /var/db/mysql separate as well. The problem you run into there is say you've put 10 gigs for each and you have 3 gigs of logs, 5 gigs of mail and need 12 gigs for your database, then you loose the flexibility. I put my web pages in /usr/local/www/virtual/ so that comes under /usr. You may want to put 90 gigs straight into /home and then setup quota's so your users don't use up your disk space.

(both of these should drop all TCP packets; but apparently,
they cause a RESET message to be sent.)
Umm, try putting the drop before the deny. AFAIK, drop just drops the

works that way (ICBW). You don't need both these lines anyway, only one
of them.

If your ISP has given you 128 IPs, that is a /25 or netmask 255.255.255.128 as shown : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ipcalc 192.168.254.0/25 Address: 192.168.254.01100.10101000.1110.0 000 Netmask: 255.255.255.128 = 25 ...1 000 Wildcard: 0.0.0.127...0 111 = Network: 192.168.254.0/25 1100.10101000.1110.0 000 HostMin: 192.168.254.11100.10101000.1110.0 001 HostMax: 192.168.254.126 1100.10101000.1110.0 110 Broadcast: 192.168.254.127 1100.10101000.1110.0 111 Hosts/Net: 126 Class C, Private Internet So all your machines would have the same network and broadcast, and you would make them all use your gateway box as the default route. As you can see, a 255.255.255.255 netmask (/32) is only one host: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ipcalc 192.168.254.34/32 Address: 192.168.254.34 1100.10101000.1110.00100010 Netmask: 255.255.255.255 = 32 ... Wildcard: 0.0.0.0 ... = Hostroute: 192.168.254.34 1100.10101000.1110.00100010 Hosts/Net: 1 Class C, Private Internet What you need to do is use IP calc to see what the network and broadcast are and set those, although on FreeBSD 4.X (I think anyway, someone correct me if I am wrong) you can just put in your /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.254.32/25 or ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.254.32 netmask 255.255.255.128 And FreeBSD will work out the network and broadcast for you. Today, I was in this exact position where I was tring to add an (the first one one THAT machine, from that block) IP from a block that is almost completely used up on another server, and the one I was adding it to would not take it. When I tried adding it with a 255.255.255.255 netmask, and a broadcast eaqual to the amount of IPs from that block - it worked. Like I said before, there is only 1 IP in a /32 block, and the broadcast will be either a.b.c.127 or a.b.c.255 depending whether you have the first or second subnet inside that class C.

My varsity days are a bit hazy, but I believe a double is stored as X bits ^ Y bits. Not sure of the ratios of X and Y though. This means you can only get a certain accuracy. If X is 8 for example, the accuracy is 1/(268435456) =~ 3.725290e-09. Therefore your smallest unit number is that and any other number will be a multiple of that, raised to a power which is where the Y bits comes in. Oh I forgot to mention that X+Y = 96.

TCP Header Rewrite
Hi, I am cross posting this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] because my problem lies with both. Okay, the scenario: I am an ISP dealing with a lot of clients who like sending lots and lots of mail. Currently they are all sending out through a smart host, which checks mail for spam and viruses. All local bandwidth is given at the maximum of the carrier (radio, leased line etc) and international bandwidth is limited to what the client pays for. This is the way mail flows. local ^ I I client -- smarthost -- router -- shaper -- international The smarthost is a FreeBSD-5.3-STABLE system running exim 4.50 built from the exim-mysql port. The router is transparent. This setup works well as is, but the problem is that the shaper thinks that the traffic has come from the smarthost itself, and not the client, and thus the client isn't being bandwidth limited for international mail. My solution to this would be to rewrite the TCP header on the smarthost of all mail packets going out to make them look like they came from the client rather than the smart host. That way the shaper will pick up the packets as though they were from the customer and appropriately shape them. The Exim Side of things: I was thinking of rewriting the remote_smtp transport to send mail to a program which then sends the message off with modified headers. I would do it something like this remote_smtp: driver = pipe command = HEADER_MOD_COMMAND Is there a better way of doing this? Correct me if I am wrong, but this will send the entire mail to STDIN of HEADER_MOD_COMMAND? The FreeBSD side of things (**hairy**): === Once I have the mail sent to the command i was thinking of sending it off through a pipe of some description. I am wondering however to do this.

Disk quotas
The Scenario: I am running a multiuser FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE box for ~500 users. We have enforced disk quotas on /home and /tmp of 250MB soft and 256MB hard The Problem: One user has inadvertently snaked around this. (btw I like users who tell you when they have found a problem that works in their favour) We're running Apache 1 with mod_php, mod_ssl etc etc etc. This user has gallery setup on his webpage and the albums directory is chmod 707'd so that httpd can write to it. The problem is that httpd creates files as http:group and quota is not picking up that he is using more disk space than we want him to. The Question: Can quota be told that all files in ~luser belong to luser as well as all files owned by luser. If not, where would the appropriate place for hacking be, the kernel or usr.bin/*quota* -Ox ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Use vipw to do the delete. You deleted the text in the shadow text file and left /etc/master.passwd with the previous working version. You can force the update of master.passwd but I think you should get used to using vipw. /etc/passwd is a world readable version on /etc/master.passwd so that no one can see your password hash. editing /etc/passwd is pointless, and editing /etc/master.passwd to delete a user is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Use pw userdel -rn username to delete the user from /etc/master.passwd, rebuild the pwd.db, remove him/her from all the groups and kill their homedir. Editing master.passwd is a *VERY* bad idea unless you use vipw, which rebuilds pwd.db so in short, DON'T. Read the man pages for pw, as it is very useful for manipulating users and groups.

I have an AMI 3.0 bios, a Super p6dgs/dbs motherboard. I've downloaded the ISO from different FTP sites and still get the same result from ISO install attempts. Any words for the unwise here? thanks, Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED] I won't call you unwise, but it's a lng way from 4.2 to 4.8. If you've still got a 4.2 world and a 4.2 kernel, I'd try to use cvsup/makebuildworld/../../../mergemaster (etc.) to get to 4.4, then 4.6, then 4.8 or 4.9.. Can you explain the phrase FTP direct upgrade a little more clearly? Do you mean using /stand/sysinstall? You may need to wait until some bigger brains see your question : ( Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- /~\ The ASCII ASCII stupid question, get a EBCDIC ANSI. \ / Ribbon Campaign John Oxley X Against HTMLhttp://oxo.rucus.net/ / \ Email! oxo at rucus.ru.ac.za Personally, I'd rather pay for my freedom than live in a bitmapped, pop-up-happy dungeon like NT. -- Thomas Scoville ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5 button mouse and MozillaFirebird
Hi, I have a 5 button optical mouse. I have put the lines: Option Buttons 7 Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 in my Identifier section of XF86Config. I also run `xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5` in my .xinitrc. Running xev i can see that the side buttons are buttons 6 and 7, while the scroll up and down is 4 and 5. How do I tell MozillaFirebird to map back and forward to buttons 6 and 7. I realise that this isn't strictly a FreeBSD question but any help would be greatly appreciated. My system is FreeBSD-5.1-RELEASE-p10, running XFree86 Version 4.3.0. My window manager is blackbox 0.65.0. -John -- /~\ The ASCII ASCII stupid question, get a EBCDIC ANSI. \ / Ribbon Campaign John Oxley X Against HTMLhttp://oxo.rucus.net/ / \ Email! oxo at rucus.ru.ac.za Personally, I'd rather pay for my freedom than live in a bitmapped, pop-up-happy dungeon like NT. -- Thomas Scoville ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 5 button mouse and MozillaFirebird
OK, figured it out: Step by step for anyone who wants to know how. edit XF86Config put in Option Buttons 7 Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 in ~/.imwheelrc put: .* None, Up, Alt_L|Left None, Down, Alt_L|Right and last of all in .xinitrc, put: imwheel -p -b 67 xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 On Mon 2003-10-27 (17:02), John Oxley wrote: Hi, I have a 5 button optical mouse.
