Re: Lilypond and LaTeX
[ moving discussion to freebsd-ports ]
I haven't used Lilypond since last fall. Running the current port
(lilypond-2.2.2) today, I get the following error message:
*
lilypond: error: LaTeX failed on the output file.
lilypond: error: The error log is as follows:
! Undefined control sequence.
argument \kern 098.0248\outputscale \embeddedps
{000.0650 000.0650
-00.187...
l.164 }
%
The control sequence
LATEX output to `chorosClaves.latex'...
TEX output to `chorosClaves.tex'...
***
The ly file is one that I've run Lilypond on before, without problem.
None of this means anything to me. I searched the archives but didn't
see a bug report or any discussion of this problem. Is this a bug in the
port?
This sounds like a bug in the port, as it appears to be outputing bogus
LaTeX code. This could mean one of two things (at the least):
1) lilypond has a bug
2) port is not prereq'ing the proper version of LaTeX or related tools.
If you can send me your .ly file via private mail, I can take a stab at
analysing the problem in more depth in the next few days.

You could still be right; I must be overlooking something. the only other thing I can think of, to rule out Sendmail as a cause, is to log the entire SMTP transaction, say using Pine and Mutt with your problem server.

Apparently, the blast of packets coming from the infected boxes managed to cause a live lock condition in the server. I assume it was interrupt bound servicing the inside interface. The packets were ICMP requests to various addresses. I could be way off here, but is there any way to isolate machines that send a sudden blast of packets, either by destination address (make a firewall rule that drops those packets) or working out their MAC addresses and dropping their connectivity?

Re: FreeBSD 4.8 install issues
I downloaded the 4.8 iso images from freebsd.org and began an install on a box I recently built for this purpose. I could not find a description of the various CDs (CD1, CD2, CDmini), so I grabbed them all. I'm still not sure what the purpose of each is, but I started with CD1 (seemed logical). I had no trouble following the manual to get the installation going, however I have two problems: 1) There are only 6 network adapters listed in the kernel config screen, and the Realtec is not one of them. Realtec cards are supposedly supported according to the hardware compatibility list. The network adapters listed in the kernel config are ISA NICs that require configuration. If you have a PCI NIC that is supported, it will be auto-detected. 2) Towards the end of the installation, I get the following error: unable to get packages/INDEX I'm left with a bootable and what appears to be a fully functional system when sysinstall is complete, except of course, I have no network accessibility. Can anyone clarify these issues for me? When your system boots, all of the device probe information is saved and can be displayed by the dmesg program. Are there any lines in your dmesg output that say unknown device?

In all cases tried so far I get the error: mount_msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured Here's where I think the problem lies: (from my dmesg.boot) fdc0: NEC 72065B or clone at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold The significant thing here is, there's no fd0 device after the controller is detected. I assume this must be why I can't mount my floppy. Any idea how I can get fd0 to show up? Do you have a 'device fd0' line in your kernel config, like this? device fdc0at isa? port IO_FD1 irq 6 drq 2 device fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: apache + Frontpage extensions = I have a mess
Greetings, I am running 4.7 stable as I previously posted. I was running apache13 without frontpage. Due to measure beyond my control I must enable frontpage extensions on my webserver. Please tell your boss that running FP extensions is an invitation for hackers and will be more of a maintainance headache than anything. I went to /usr/ports/www/apache13 and did make deinstall. I then went to /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage and did a make. Then a makeinstall. I then went into /usr/ports/www/apache13-fp and did a make, followed by a make install. I went to /usr/local/etc/apache and edited httpd.conf to change the DocumentRoot and Directory statements. When I visit my website I can see my data. When I try to publish from FrontPage 2000 it tells me that the server is not running frontpage extensions and I can only publish with FTP. What am I screwing up here ? Is there a cookbook or tutorial that will lay this out for me so I can get this working ? Please read /usr/ports/ww/mod_frontpage/pkg-message. You should have seen this message when you did the make install in mod_frontpage. You have to do all of these steps in order to configure a website for FrontPage. -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Confusion over which version to use for a production server
Hi, I am confused about which version to use for a production server. Nowhere does it say this is the newest version to use for a production server, especially if the STABLE branch is still a development branch. I'm not sure if this is a CYA thing, or if I'm just not finding the right information. Obviously, this can be a difficult question to answer, since there are so many branches to follow. However, people who want to use the software (as oppossed to developing it) will need to know what the most recent version is that can be used for a production server. Several pages, as well as messages posted to newsgroups, say that there are two branchs, STABLE and CURRENT. Yet, there seems to be a third branch: RELEASE. Is the RELEASE version pre-CURRENT or post-STABLE? RELEASE is just a snapshot of STABLE when -STABLE is good enough to be RELEASEd. Clear? Because I have the perspective of a newbie, I don't mind writing a brief description for other newbies to determine which version they should use and how to get it. Unfortunately, I don't know how to determine any of this. Is the Latest Production Release shown on the right column as Production Release: 4.8 (or whatever it is at the time)? If so, why does the newbies page (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html#fbsd) say to use the latest mainstream release, which is 5.1-RELEASE? If I do figure all of this out, please let me know if you want me to write something for other newbies. The FreeBSD project is in an interesting state right now. We have two sets of RELEASEs -- one from the -STABLE branch (4.x) and one from the -CURRENT branch (5.x). The reason for this is because there's been a lot of major redesign work in 5.x and it's taking a while for it to solidify. Hence, the 5.x releases are for convenience for those who want to help increase it's stability by installing it on non-production (or non-critical production) systems. Since you're running production systems, do what the front page tells you -- install 4.8, the latest production release. If you were someone just messing around with FreeBSD for the first time, we'd tell you to install 5.1, the latest new technology release, since you'd help us find problems. -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Stand-a-lone NAT PGM
I'm saying that the functionality you want already exists -- in a low-level library called libalias(3), or with a cleaner front-end called natd(8). What you're failing to understand is that NATD cannot run standalone' -- you have to have hook it into the TCP/IP stack somehow. For ppp(8) this is easy, since ppp is already hooked into your system's TCP/IP stack, and can easily run the packets through libalias(3) to achieve NAT functionality. For standard ethernet applications, a common approach is to use ipfw(8) with a single divert rule which redirects all TCP/IP traffic from the TCP/IP stack, through the natd(8) front-end to libalias(3), and then back into the TCP/IP stack. The overhead of ipfw with a single divert rule is very low. The overhead of IPFITLER/IPNAT is even lower. I'm not sure exactly what performance problem you're trying to overcome. -- Matt Emmerton Are you saying I can run NATD as a stand-a-lone function?

Re: sendmail woes
Quoting Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'd probably boot single user mode and run 'mergemaster' after mounting all the filesystems. Giorgios, Am I expecting too much of mergemaster? I took your advice and ran it without any options. It showed me the comparision between old and new files as it ran on the console, and stored the new files in /var/tmp/temproot for me to compare and adjust my old files - without any guide about what the differences might be. The old files remain untouched until I manually change them. Is there at least a log somewhere which highlights any differences so I have the same sort of guide that appeared on the console when I ran mergemaster? The differences are shown, per file, when you run mergemaster. You can choose i (install) to install the new file, which will wipe out any changes you may have made in your old version. Of your can choose to leave until later, and then you will have to diff and merge the changes by hand. (Use the diff command to show the differences, and then edit your old files with the changes.) BTW, the difference between old and new freebsd.mc appears (more-or-less) cosmetic - BUT I didn't have a freebsd_submit.mc and one or two other files which look important. If you don't have some of the files which look important, then you should have chosen i (install) when mergemaster gave you the choice.

We really need a ppp_flags variable in /etc/rc.conf which is recognized by
/etc/rc.network for this kind of thing.
Then you could specificy ppp_flags=-unit 0 in /etc/rc.conf and be on your
way.

Re: Problems compiling KDE3 because of libmng - part 2
- Original Message - From: RexFelis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 11:46 PM Subject: Problems compiling KDE3 because of libmng - part 2 Hello, Not long ago I wrote in about my attempt to compile KDE3 from ports failing during libmng build. The advice I was given was, stick with the STABLE tree (I was using 5.0) and try make index from /usr/ports. I decided to install 4.7 STABLE,and try again. The first time, I installed all possible distributions, and then after updatuing src and ports through cvsup, I did a pkg_delete * and then make install for XFree86 (which always works fine) and KDE3. KDE3 failed building libmng again. So I tried reinstalling, this time without installing any packages (custom install, only base, ports, src and docs/man), theorizing that perhaps the problem was files left behind by pkg_delete. Once again, even with an up to date src and ports, and having done a make index after update, the build fails during build of libmng. Ok, so I have determined that the problem is not version specific, and that it is not caused by incomplete uninstall of packages. I have used script to record the error output, but this brings me to my next problem - no matter what I do, I can't get FreeBSD to mount a dos floppy, which I would use to save the script output for mailing in with my problem under a different OS. Why not install KDE3 from packages? This will save you a ton of headaches trying to compile. The Complete FreeBSD, OnLamp, and the handbook have done little to help with this problem. I have tried mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy (and yes, I did create a /floppy dir first), and the response is this: msdos: /dev/fd0: invalid argument Does 'device fdc0' and 'device fd' appear in your kernel config file? Do you see a floppy drive being detected at boot (look at dmesg to see) Is your floppy drive enabled in your BIOS? Is your floppy drive cabled properly? (The last 2 are from personal experience.) I have tried mount /dev/fd0 /floppy, which returns mount: /dev/fd0 on /floppy: incorrect superblock Expected, since your floppy disk is most likely not a FreeBSD-formatted floppy. I attempted using mtools, as built from ports, whic returned an error because I am not using Linux emulation. Upon deciding to install Linux Base from ports, I came to the question, Which one? Linux Base, or Linux Base 6? linux_base, unless you have a specific reason for using linux_base_6. The system I am using is a Cyrix MII 266 MMX processor, 192 megs of RAM, a 40 gig hard disk, 5 gigs allocated for FreeBSD, and 1 gig swap. If I left anything out, please let me know. If I can get a floppy mounted, I can mail in the script output, and hopefully, I can get KDE3 to finish compiling. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Most ISPs won't do this unless you're paying for a business level connection (2 Mbps DSL, T1, frame, etc) and have a block of IP addresses (at least a /26) assigned to you.

Subject: Linksys WMP11, ca. 2003.
I'm trying to coerce a new Linksys WMP11 802.11b card into working on a
FreeBSD install of 4.7-RELEASE. In looking through the freebsd-mobile
lists I've seen some discussion on this (from around this time last
year), but all of the resources included in that discussion
(particularly the patches to the wi driver) are out of sync with the
kernel sources I've got. I just cvsup'd 4.x-STABLE and -current and
didn't manage to find either the vendor ID or device ID reported in
dmesg in the driver code there. I was wondering if anyone out there
could give me an update on support for this wireless card? The posts
from freebsd-mobile
(http://www.riverside.org/archive/html/freebsd-mobile/2002-02/msg00038.html)
that were most promising mentioned commiting the patches to -current,
but I don't see any evidence of that in my kernel sources.
To top off my confusion when I boot I'm getting different dev/vendor
id's from the card than are mentioned in the post referenced above.
Here's my dmesg output:
pcib0: Intel 82845 Host to PCI bridge on motherboard
pci0: PCI bus on pcib0
pcib1: Intel 82845 PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge at device 1.0 on pci0

The linksys WMP11 is listed as pci3. Note that the vendor/dev ids are
different from those listed in the patch posted by Thomas Skibo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to freebsd-mobile (as referenced above) which shows
the device as:
+ {0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Linksys WMP11 PCI Prism2.5},
So, the qeustion is, can I make this (actually these 10) cards work with
FreeBSD? Any help or pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.
--Aaron
Looking up your PCI IDs (http://www.yourvote.com/pci), I see that the
unknown device on pci3 is really a Broadcom IEEE 802.11b WLAN client
chipset.
Not sure which device driver should be extended to support this chipset.

I eventually gave up and just ran it in Linux emulation -- much less effort than making a FreeBSD port. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Why is there no JFS?
Thus spake Daxbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The inspiration for this email was from a thread in -questions: Re: fsck takes very long after crash/reset Is anybody currently working on or does there exist a JFS for FreeBSD? Various people (including myself and Hiten Pandya) have done work to port the GPL'd JFS implementation, but there's one ugly problem -- the GPL. We can make JFS into a kernel module (avoiding the static-link policy of the GPL), but then it can only (legally) be used on non-root filesystems, as the code to read the root filesystem must be statically linked into the kernel. This in itself makes JFS support somewhat pointless. This is the same reason why XFS and ReiserFS haven't been ported -- the GPL prevents us from statically linking the code into the kernel, hence we can't support booting from any XFS/JFS/ResierFS filesystems. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: 5.0 on Compaq Evo 610c notebook - no way?
When the system boots and displays its Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt prompt, hit space to get to a bootloader prompt. Then type this in: set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 boot You system will then boot with ACPI disabled. You will need to do this on every successive boot until you can edit the /boot/device.hints file and disable ACPI permanently.

It sounds to me like the Evo has a problem with its ACPI functions, reporting a temperature that is well outside the bounds of what any system should be able to handle. The best thing I can think of would be to compile a bare kernel without ACPI support on another system and create a boot disk with it. Also make sure to make an MFSROOT disk to get sysinstall running, from there on, you will be able to install from the CD-ROM.

Re: apache frontpage question
If I want to support the MS frontpage extentions I need to install www/apache13-fp and www/frontpage from ports (as I understand). I do not understand the warning in the (ports) message, stating that libcrypt.* needs to be linked against libdescrypt.* insteadof libscrypt.* My question is: how can I be sure this will be true? Do I need to recompile some libcrypt things too or will this be done by the ports of apache/frontpage? Another question is: how safe is supporting the FP extentions these days? It's not, and probably never will be. You have to change the libcrypt symlinks (manually) to point to libdescrypt; this may break some other things on the system. -- Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Verizon DSL+PPPoE
I remember seeing this posted about a year ago, but I couldn't google it one my business server, I run Verizon DSL and PPPoE. I setup it up like with the example they used on Freebsddairy. the problem I ran into, after about 1 week is that the connection just died. everything is lit up, no log entries in the ppp.log. the only solution was a 'killall ppp' and restarting in about a minute later, and everything is fine... however, after i did that, I noticed my IP changed. whereas i've closed the connection b4 and reopened it and got the same IP. Does this have something to do with ppp not accepting a renewed DHCP IP address? PPP doesn't use DHCP; you're confusing two technologies. Whether or not you get the same IP after dropping your connection depends entirely upon your provider. Some providers will keep recently-dropped IPs around for some period of time so that you can get the same IP back when you reconnect, but others won't. In most cases, PPPoE service with dynamic IPs are not designed for hosting servers (which is the only case where you'd need a static IP). If this is allowable by your AUP, I'd look into using a commercial DNS service that can let you auto-update your IPs when they change.

Re: Installing new versions of GCC
Greetings- I'm a pretty new user of FreeBSD and I've enjoyed every minute of it so far. I'm trying to update gcc via the package/ports system, but I've had a few problems. 'pkg_add -r gcc' Results in a error message that the file is unavailable. This make sense, because the package it's looking for (ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.7-release/Latest/gcc. tgz) does not exist. I downloaded the ports package (/usr/ports) and went into the /lang/gcc directory. I first tried 'make.' That ran for awhile, but when it finished, gcc still reported version '2.95.4.' After that, I realized I should run 'make install.' That ran for awhile, but in the end, when I ran gcc -v I still got this message- Using builtin specs. gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD] I'd like to be using 3.2 so I'd be using the same compiler as my University's server.

Re: Installing new versions of GCC
Wow, Thanks for all of the responses. First off, that was a typo in my original email. I was running make in /usr/ports/lang/gcc32. Now, I tried a few things. I ran 'make clean' to start over, 'make', 'make deinstall', and then 'make install'. When that's done, I end up with gcc32 (and g++32, etc) in /usr/local/bin. So, THAT appears to be working alright. However, the original gcc (etc.) remain in /usr/bin. As would be expected. If you plan on recompiling your kernel, you need to have the system gcc around or else things will get screwy. If you want to compile using gcc32, just use gcc32 intead of gcc.

Re: utility that measure electricty usage?
i know there is something you can put on the socket to measure how much current is being drawn... but i was wondering if there was some utility that i could install on my server to measure the power usage for the server? i'd like to make a chart to see if this device is really impacting the electricity bill. You can find out the worst-case scenario by hand: 1) Take the wattage of the power supply of the system (ie P = 300W) 2) Determine the amount of time this server operates per month (ie t = 24 hours x 31 days = 744 hours) 3) Compute kWh: P / 1000 * t = 300 / 1000 * 744 = 223.2 kWh In my neck of the woods, electricity costs 4.9 cents per kWh, so my one server costs me $11.16/month to run.

Re: Mysterious problem with ldconfig and ld
This may be a very simple fix, but so far I've found no solution. Just installed expat-1.95.5 in a FreeBSD 4.4 machine. The install went fine, and I verified that ldconfig had picked up the library: host# ldconfig -r | grep expat 73:-lexpat.4 = /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.4 However, I need to install other packages that require the expat library, and the configuration fails stating that the expat library cannot be found. In fact, just a simple test fails: host# ld -lexpat /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lexpat How about ld -L/usr/local/lib -lexpat? Works fine here: gabby# ld -L /usr/local/lib -lexpat /usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `memmove' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `memcpy' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `malloc' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `realloc' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `memset' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `free' gabby# If some programs can't find it, it's probably because /usr/local/lib isn't in their search path. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Sendmail waiting?
My silly system ... Using 4.6 RELEASE, 1.1G Athlon ABit KT7A VIA chipset - running FVCool permanently in idle mode to maintain CPU cool temperature. The really silly bit is ... I don't switch off every day, but I have noticed that, on restart, loading sometimes waits for ever at installing standard daemons sendmail. Last night the wait was 2 full minutes, and the effect was for me not to be able to get X and worse - getty repeating too fast - sleeping for 30 seconds During that sleep, I could work from the console normally, but then the screen blanked and fluttered for several seconds before the sleeping phase was again reimposed. This morning - not expecting too much - I switched on and this time loading swept past sendmail without delay and everything is working normally again. I do not propose to switch off for some time. :-) Q1. Can anyone suggest any explanation for the sendmail-wait problem and subsequent horrors? Q2. I am cvsupping and ready to update to the latest stable. Is this sound, and is it in any way likely to resolve my problem with v 4.6 RELEASE? My experience is that if your network goes down or DNS cannot easily resolve your name, sendmail will pause for a bit. I believe installing a caching(sp) name server on the box will probably help out. I cannot remember the command to install it, so check the archives, but it is really simple. Michael K. Smith wrote: Whenever I see that hang on sendmail it is due to a network failure. Usually the machine cannot contact its IP default gateway. Thanks, guys - but why would this be an intermittent problem? And - why would it affect my access to X? The Good Lord knows what was going on last night with the repeating getty! :-) Everything is just fine, now - my real problem is how can I keep it that way? That of course requires my identifying the cause. One clue - I recently went broadband with an ADSL modem and that modem is set up as my default gateway. It is a Netcomm NB1300. That caching name server idea sounds good. I will have a search on FBSD org for that. That still wouldn't identify the cause, though. :-( I assume that your ADSL provider uses PPPoE -- how to you fire up your PPP interface at boot? I do this in /etc/rc.conf, which forces ppp to establish a connection before progressing with the boot, which means that the net connection is up by the time sendmail is started: # PPP ppp_enable=YES ppp_profile=HSE ppp_mode=ddial -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Why does localhost resolve to 10.166.205.185?
localhost should always resolve to 127.0.0.1. If it doesn't, something is
severely broken with your (or your ISP's) DNS setup.

Re: Limiting kernel core usage
Hello, How do I stop my kernel from using a piece of core? I mean, if I have 32MB of memory, how do i make it to use only the low 16,for instance (not removing the chips themselves,though)? I think setting MAXMEM in your kernel config file as follows will do what you want. optionsMAXMEM=(16*1024) From the LINT kernel: # MAXMEM specifies the amount of RAM on the machine; if this is not # specified, FreeBSD will first read the amount of memory from the CMOS # RAM, so the amount of memory will initially be limited to 64MB or 16MB # depending on the BIOS. If the BIOS reports 64MB, a memory probe will # then attempt to detect the installed amount of RAM. If this probe # fails to detect 64MB RAM you will have to use the MAXMEM option. # The amount is in kilobytes, so for a machine with 128MB of RAM, it would # be 131072 (128 * 1024). -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to work out your email issues.

Re: installing software question
When I install something from the ports collection, the makefile nicely generates a packing list so I can deinstall it at a later time. Is there an easy way to do this if I download some random tar file for which I would normally untar it, ./configure, and make install? In other words, I install something which is not in the ports collection manually, I'd like to generate a packing list so I can use pkg_delete to remove it. Is there an easy way to do this? The best way to do this is to create a port for the software you want to install and get it added to the ports collection. The porters handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.htm l) has detailed instructions on how to do this. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: ata fallback to PIO mode on dual processor AMD systems
[ cc'ing Soren since he's the ATA guru ] I am seeing a problem with ata disks on 4 new systems, which I believe is either a bug in the ata driver, or a problem with the onboard IDE controller, or something else. Systems are as follows: Motherboard: ASUS A7M266-D CPUs : 2 x 2000+ AMD MP Memory : 2 x 512MB Crucial part: CT6472Y265 Disks (all UDMA100): Master Slave System 1:WDC WD400BB WDC WD1000BB System 2: WDC WD400BB WDC WD1000BB System 3: WDC WD400BB WDC WD800BB System 4: WDC WD400BB Maxtor 98196H8 Kernel : 4.7-RELEASE, custom kernel (compared to GENERIC): commented out: cpu I386_CPU cpu I486_CPU enabled options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O I am running a test with dbench (/usr/ports/benchmarks/dbench) with a script which runs: dbench 1 sleep for 5 minutes dbench 2 sleep for 5 minutes dbench 3 ... to simulate 1,2,3... clients. The following has happened on systems 2,3 and 4, after about 15 hours of running the test: Dec 30 23:26:59 ecserv13 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting Dec 30 23:26:59 ecserv13 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done Dec 30 23:26:59 ecserv13 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ad0: timeout waiting for cmd=ef s=d0 e=00 Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ad0: trying fallback to PIO mode Dec 30 23:27:00 ecserv13 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done The test continues to run with the ata controller in PIO mode, with slower performance, and higher load average. Once the master drops to PIO, attempts to access the slave then cause it to drop to PIO. If I run: atacontrol mode 0 UDMA100 UDMA100 attempts to access either drive result in a delay until the controller drops to PIO, and then operations resume. A soft reboot and things work in UDMA mode again. Also tried UDMA33 and UDMA66 with no change. I also tried atacontrol reinit 0 with no help. Theories when I search the web for fallback to PIO mode include: - bad disks - something to do with thermal recalibration I don't believe the problems are bad disks, as the slave drops to PIO after the master does, and I can't get in back to UDMA, other than by soft reboot. Plus I see the problem on 6 of 8 disks. The problem is very repeatable. Can anyone offer any ideas, or suggest investigative steps ? I have a system in PIO mode right now. The reason the slave drops to PIO after the master does is by design - the master and slave have to use the same signalling mode since they're on the same cable. (People often report lackluster performance of fast UDMA hard drives with non-UDMA CD-ROMs on the same channel.) Are you using 80-conductor cables on all your drives? These are required to get consistent high throughput, and running without them may cause the problems you're seeing. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: denied packet, where?
How quaint!

If it were an ipfw issue, I think it would have wound up in /var/log/security, right? Yes. But you're not denying any packets. The lack of any lines of data between test-server denied packets: and test-server kernel log messages indicates that no packets were denied. I am kinda worried about this, because maybe my kernel is trying to tell me one of the disks in my RAID 1 failed, and came back on line. If so, I would like to know about this.

correctly.
We completely remade our ppp.config, and it looks as follows:
default:
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command
adsl:
set authname our_username
set authkey our_password
add default HISADDR
set device !pppoa2 -vpi 8 -vci 35 -v 1
accept pap
set speed sync
set timeout 0
enable lqr
set lqrperiod 5
set redial 15 1
set dial
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
enable dns
This works beautifully. Now, another problem we believed would be simple
to
solve, but it isn't quite so. We have a network card in the FreeBSD
machine
with IP address 192.168.1.3. It is connected to a Windows 98 machine with
IP address 192.168.1.1.The Windows 98 machine's TCP stack is
completely
configured and operational (it can ping the FreeBSD machine and vice
versa;
we are using a crossover cable to connect the two). We want to enable
NAT
on the FreeBSD machine to allow the Windows 98 machine access to the
Internet via the FreeBSD box.
We have done the following to accomplish this:
1) Built a custom kernel with options IPDIVERT and IPFIREWALL
2) Enabled the machine to act as a gateway in rc.conf
(gateway_enable=YES)
3) Enabled natd in rc.conf (nat_enable=YES)
4) Changed natd interface to tun0 (our interface for ppp)
(natd_interface=tun0)
5) Enabled named, so Win98 can resolve names using the FreeBSD box
(named_enable=YES)
6) Created rc.firewall with the following lines:
/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via tun0
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any
7) Enabled the firewall in rc.conf (We compiled kernel with
DEFAULT_ACCEPT
option)
8) Created rc.local to initialise the USB Alcatel Hometouch on startup:
modem_run -f /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o -m
9) We manually connect doing the following:
ppp -ddial -nat adsl
It connects succesfully and the FreeBSD box is on the net.
10) The Win98 machine can ping IP addresses outside the LAN and our ISP
(i.e. it can ping the IP of www.google.com), but it cannot resolve domain
names, nor access IP addresses of web sites (i.e. we used www.hawaii.edu
's
IP address, and the web server could not be found, yet it is accessible by
IP address from elsewhere)
11) We attempt to manually start natd on the FreeBSD box:
natd -interface tun0
12) Same problem as # 10, no change.
Going with info given in reply to my previous problem, does a default
route
for the 192.168.1.0 network need to be configured?
Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
If you're running ppp with the -nat flag, don't run ipfw/natd. The two
mechanisms are mutually exclusive. I would recommend sticking with
'ppp -nat', so you can eliminate steps 3,4,6,7 and you don't need to run
with a custom kernel (IPDIVERT, IPFIREWALL).
As for step 5 (enabling named), this will only work as you intend if you've
configured named to forward all requests to your ISP's DNS server, like the
following:
options {
directory /etc/namedb;
forwarders
{
209.226.175.224;// Sympatico DNS 1
198.235.216.110;// Sympatico DNS 2
};
};

Re: Cracker attack...is my system compromised?
On to my question: The past few days have seen some strange activity in my log files. You're freaking out at normal error messages. 11/25/2002 Security Report: 25 02:14:46 fat_man sendmail[16217]: gAP8Ekh16217: SYSERR: putoutmsg (www.nakorinthias.gr): error on output channel sending 220 fat_man.ascendency.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6; Mon, 25 Nov 2002 02:14:46 -0600 (CST): Broken pipe All this means is that www.nakorinthias.gr dropped a SMTP session without aborting or closing first.

These messages are FreeBSD saying hey, traffic for this IP came from one NIC (00:06:25:10:e0:03) and now it's coming from another (00:80:c6:fa:9f:21).. This is a problem with your network setup. 11/23/2002 Daily run report fat_man.ascendency.net group diffs: 16a17 cyrus:*:60:daemon 30d30 cyrus:*:60:daemon Whats going on here? Have you cvsup'd -STABLE lately and run mergemaster, or have you reinstalled/upgraded the mail/cyrus port? This was discussed on -stable not too long ago. I just changed most of my passwords and changed the root password to an 18 digit alpha numeric string. I have SMTP-AUTH on and working all relays have been turned off. I checked my /etc/hosts, groups, passwd as well as last and everything appears to be secure. I have restricted sshd to only one particular IP. Firewalled off all unnecessary ports and removed everything possible from hosts.allow. I'm running 8.11.6 sendmail, but can't find the version of ssh. Do I need to do anything else? This appears to be a program running various probes to determine my systems security level. Am I wrong? It's nice to see that you've tightened up security, but you're freaking out wy too much.

Re: restore question
On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Mark wrote: Worse even, how do I safely restore the / filesystem? (should it ever become corrupted). The last time I needed to do that, I booted to the Fixit system on CD2 and used the tools there to newfs/restore from backup. But what to do if you did your dumps to tape and the fixit disk does not have the right tapedriver? one would like to be able to restore the tape-dumps... I've run into a problem like this before. What I ended up doing was just doing a bare-bones network install on the system without newfs'ing the file systems, brought the system up and built a custom kernel with the right drivers, rebooted and then was able to clean up from the mess. You build a custom boot disk with a custom kernel (Handbook). That's what I tried. But: the MINI kernel doesn't fit on the disk, and I stripped it a -lot- :( (my 4.7 MINI kernel is still about 1.2M with ATA-tape drivers) If you post your MINI kernel, I'm sure someone could find something to remove that would save space. Making a general statement, I've seen people trying to make custom boot disks for rescue purposes but keeping things like usb support, smp support, or netgraph stuff around. Although this stuff may normally be in the custom kernel used on the machine, it's usually never neccessary for rescue purposes. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: SUPPORTED HARDWARE
Here is my problem: I have an HP NetServer LC that I cannot get FreeBSD to recognize the CD-ROM (it is a Toshiba), the SCSI adapter is an AIC-7770. I have purchased the FreeBSD book and have tried the following: increased the SCSI settling time to 30 secs (as per the book), moved the SCSI id from 2 to 5, moved the device on the SCSI cable. When I do a dmesg the CD-ROM appears to be recognized, but it states the media cannot be read (there is a cd in the tray). What do you need from me to help me with this? A copy of the dmesg (bootup information) would be useful. This is in /var/log/dmesg.*, and also is output from the 'dmesg' command.

Re: gateway_enable=YES without a restart
Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD, I've had my box running for about 3-4 weeks now. Anyway I've decided to enable it as a gateway by editing the /etc/rc.conf file. I previously had it running as a gateway but I commented the gateway_enable=YES line. Now I want to uncomment this line so it routes my traffic, but I don't want to actually restart my box because its got a 17 day uptime, and I want to see how high I can get it, and the past 17 days would of been wasted if I reboot :) Sorry if this sounds a bit lame, but I'm trying to beat my 21day uptime on Windows 2k. So what command could I type, or which process could I kill/restart so that my box will function as a gateway? sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 I had a quick scan through the man page on rc.conf, but didn't find anything of relevance, but I did find many other useful lines I might add to my rc.conf file later (just to play around with).. Anyway I'll be very gratefull if someone could tell me how to keep this uptime :) thanks Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: ASUS P4S533 on-board LAN

Must I buy a separate LAN card, or is there a way to get the on board connection to work? Thanks in advance. Can you provide us the dmesg output that shows what FreeBSD is seeing?

Console messages from ahc0 - how serious are they?
I'm running 4.4-REL on a bunch of older systems with onboard Adaptec 7870 controllers and recently I've been getting lots of console output from one of them. I'm pretty sure it means that one of my drives is dying (which I've suyspected for a while), but I'm just curious as to what the messages really mean, and if I can determine the bad drive just from the messages.
