FreeBSD 6.2 stable crasches when running dump on mounted snapshot.

2007-01-16 Thread Mattias Björk

Hi there,

When I run dump on a mounted snapshot, my machine panics with the error 
that says the following:


Fatal double fault
Panic: double fault

I can run games in Windows fine and I run setiathome/boinc most of the 
time in Windows when my computer is locked and I'm at work. No problem 
there. It s no problem to make buildkernel and make buildworld with 
-j2. It has never crashed because of load as I can remember.


Im running RAID-1 on this machine the hard disc are ad8xy and ad10xy and 
I do mount everything via the RAID array called ar0xy. My motherboard is 
an Asus A8N5X and I'm using the on board S-ATA controller for my hard 
discs.


I have tried and changed my /etc/fstab so that they mount it from either 
ad8xy or ad10xy instead ( root usr var etc..) But that does not still 
help me with the problem.


I would be happy to provide more info if you want to, so please let me 
know it I'm missing some crucial information. Or perhaps if I should try 
another mailing list then this one.


Below here is my kernel config and make.conf.

Regarding Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX220 AMD64.

2006-06-25 Thread Mattias Björk

Hi List members,

Have recently acquired me an Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX220 AMD64.
Everything works fine except one thing, the build in dual broadcom 5780 
NIC. I see that 6.1 does not support that hardware according to 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-amd64.html.


I thought that freebsd-questions@freebsd.org was a better choice of 
sending the mail to than [EMAIL PROTECTED] But I might be wrong here.


Anyhow I have two questions more or less:

Has anybody succeed in getting it to work and do you have a patch for 
it? (Should I try out stable branch instead of 6.1 Release?)


I everything else fails could you recommend a NIC that works with 
FreeBSD and is dual Gigabit. Im thinking of an Intel Pro/1000 MT DP 
Server or Intel Pro/1000PT Dual Port Server Adapter PCI-E how ever 
the later I could not find on 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-amd64.html.


But if you check it up on Intel's homepage it mentions that FreeBSD is 
support but that is rater vague description on with arch its supported 
on. (If I'm not missing something that is)


Hopefully support for the broadcom 5780-chipset is right around the corner.

Thank you for reading this mail.

Problems with snortreport when trying to look at summary for an alert(s).

2005-10-30 Thread Mattias Björk

Hi, all

Im running snort (ver 2.4 ), snortreport (ver 1.2) with postgresql 
(postgresql ver 8.0.4), php5 (ver 5.0.5). My webserver is apache version 
2.0.55, lates from ports with ssl support, and last on 5.4-RELEASE-p8 
machine.


I having problem with the webinterface to snort (snortreport). It works 
well when i type in the url for my localwebserver, where it lists all 
alerts in a given timeframe. But when I press the summary link for an 
alert I get this error:


Warning: pg_exec() [function.pg-exec]: Query failed: ERROR: syntax error 
at or near ) at character 134 in 
/usr/local/www/snortreport/DB_pgsql.php on line 41

ERROR: syntax error at or near ) at character 134

I have uncommented print $query in DB_pgsql.php in 
/usr/local/www/snortreport so I can see the query, its here below:


SELECT event.cid, event.sid, iphdr.ip_src, iphdr.ip_dst, EXTRACT(EPOCH 
FROM event.timestamp) AS timestamp FROM event, iphdr WHERE event.cid = 
iphdr.cid AND event.sid = iphdr.sid AND event.signature = '14' AND 
(event.timestamp  1130611696 AND event.timestamp  1130698096)
SELECT ip_src, COUNT(*) AS src_count FROM event INNER JOIN iphdr ON 
event.cid = iphdr.cid AND event.sid = iphdr.sid WHERE ip_src IN () AND 
(event.timestamp  1130611696 AND event.timestamp  1130698096) GROUP BY 
iphdr.ip_src


Im no SQL expert but I guess the problem is/or has something to do with 
that its trying to run two SQL queries without ; or am I wrong?


I have googled around for some time no, but I can't find something that 
 looks like the problem. Im guesing that this is not a fault generated 
by me. But have not given up, but I don't know where to go from here. So 
I hope that somebody could help me or point in the right direction.

Re: Problems with MySQL and SNORT after Reboot

2004-12-31 Thread Mattias Björk
Hi,
Thanks for the fast response.
I did run REPAIR TABLE event from phpmyadmin and there where no 
problems with that. No Error here.

But when I point my browser to my snort page and select the timeframe 
for the alerts to all I get the error message after a few seconds:

Warning: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in 
/usr/local/www/snortreport/DB_mysql.php on line 38
Got error 127 from table handler

However if i select a day as a time frame it works and I can select up 
to forteen days. If i select thirty days or every thing logged I get the 
error above.

From phpmyadmin if I select the database named snort and I click on 
the table event i get an warning/error message that are as following:

More than one INDEX key was created for column `timestamp`
Is that anything serious?
So I hope I have described enought to make any conclutions about this. I 
have also restared both mysql and snort but that does not help either.

Thanks in advance and a happy new year!
Hello,

You need to login to mysql command prompt and do a REPAIR TABLE event; in
that database, and it will clear it right up.

Correct.  Very occasionally keyboard input would not show up on either

Jiggling the cables cured that in all cases.  Zero mouse problems.

For what it's worth, I have a cheap 4 port KVM which works fine (scroll

Okey, so I should try and test with a real PS/2 mouse. Well it could 
solve the problem. As I said erlier my brand is a LevelOne, and on the 
homepage it says that it support FreeBSD. The mouse be the problem, I 
have to check it out.

My KVM is marked PS-104 on the front, but I can't see any visible 
brand names its buried so I can't dig it out.  It supports hotkeys, and 
works fine with PS2 keyboards/mice.  It fails if you attach a USB mouse 
with a USB/PS2 converter, or if you use a PS2/USB converter to attach it 
to a USB port on the PC.
I have no clue, but perhaps the signals from a USB mouse/keyboard is not 
the same as from a PS/2 mouse. The might be some diffrences in any case.

I've just resigned myself to use a PS2 mouse with my KVM, and hoping it 
doesn't break.

As long as I can get a descent optical mouse with scroll wheel, I should 
manage it. :)

switching back to Windows unless I also reset the KVM (Scroll Lock 
twice + End), but that's not a big deal. 

I have tryed to reset/rescan but it does not seem to help or even 
work. But I will try it out. It says for Auto Scan:

To start Auto Scan automatically scans all ports one by one at a 
fixed interval:

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F1
But that does not help or even work, but perhaps im doing something 
wrong. Manual scan is the same but F2 instead of F1.

Perhaps the problem is the mouse, Im using a Logitech Click! optical 
mouse. I have also tried my trackball Marbel Mouse and both are USB 
with a PS/2 converter. Perhaps that is the problem, but then again I 
have tryed a none mouse as well. But still that did not solve the

Mouse problems with KVM switch

2004-08-19 Thread Mattias Björk
Hi,
I have just brought this KVM switch:
http://www.level1.com/products3.php?sklop=20id=590430
But Im having major problems with getting the mouse to work under 
FreeBSD. Even the keyboard does not work sometimes. This KVM switch has 
support for hotkey and also supports emulation on both mouse and keyboard.

When I boot up my system and see the BIOS on the computer the keyboard 
works just fine. Then when it continues to boot and comes to the loader, 
it still works. And the it starts to load the kernel. But then when i 
get to the login prompt the keyboard does not work.

And sometimes even thought I stay with the computer the hole boot 
process I can't even use the keyboard. So I have to use ssh to login to 
the computer and make it reboot to regain the keyboard. I have also 
tried to change the cables but I get the same results. And It works with 
no problems under Windows XP Pro.

The system that im using is FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9, at least on this system.
I  have also two other computers that Im running FreeBSD-stable on. On 
one of my FreeBSD-stable machines I have hade a working mouse under X 
Windows System (Xorg latest from ports).

But then I rebooted the system and when I started xdm, it found the 
mouse but when I move it around It didn't move like it should. It took 
some seconds before it moved and it did not move like it should, jumps 
several ramdom cm/inches on the screen (Perhaps in the direction that I 
move the mouse im not sure). Its on usable in other words.

I have also tryied to use moused under FreeBSD but I get the same 
fault/problem. I also have a problem if I do not have this machine 
selected when I boot. Then when I switch to it when the boot of the 
FreeBSD system has complete, The screen on the monitor just blinks.

Still the keyboard works because I can press two times Left Ctrl and 
then 1 to 4 to change the computer Im controlling. This I can not do 
with the FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 system I can only see the screen but have to 
change the computer im controlling by pressing the button on the switch box.

I have tried to remove the cables and put them back again. But that does 
not help, the only solution I can see is to reboot the system and let it 
boot with it selected. I have also booted up with the mouse directly 
connected to the computer. Then when the system boot was completed I 
moved the mouse around to see that it did work. After that I plugged 
back the cable from the switch in to the computers mouse port. And the 
plugged the mouse back in the switch box, that did not work either.

I have also added flags to both psm0 and atkbd in my kernel config:
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device  atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device  atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x0
device  psm0at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x0
I have also tried with the flags set to 0x100 on both atkbd0 and psm0, 
but that doesn't seem to make any diffrance. I have done this on my 
FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 box as well. I have also changed it in:

/boot/device.hints
But I don't get it working correctly either by that.
Does anybody have a clue or have hade any similar problems and/or who 
could shine some light on this problem?

Mvh Mattias Björk
ps: sorry if this is posted one time already... I have hade some 
problems with my MUA.

And sometimes even thought I stay with the computer the hole boot 
process I can't even use the keyboard. So I have to use ssh to 
login to 
the computer and make it reboot to regain the keyboard. I have also 
tried to change the cables but I get the same results. And It works 
with 
no problems under Windows XP Pro.

The system that im using is FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9, at least on this system.
I  have also two other computers that Im running FreeBSD-stable on. 
On 
one of my FreeBSD-stable machines I have hade a working mouse under 
X 
Windows System (Xorg latest from ports).

But then I rebooted the system and when I started xdm, it found the 
mouse but when I move it around It didn't move like it should. It 
took 
some seconds before it moved and it did not move like it should, 
jumps 
several ramdom cm/inches on the screen (Perhaps in the direction 
that I 
move the mouse im not sure). Its on usable in other words.

I have also tryied to use moused under FreeBSD but I get the same 
fault/problem. I also have a problem if I do not have this machine 
selected when I boot. Then when I switch to it when the boot of the 
FreeBSD system has complete, The screen on the monitor just blinks.

Still the keyboard works because I can press two times Left Ctrl 
and 
then 1 to 4 to change the computer Im controlling. This I can not 
do 
with the FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 system I can only see the screen but have 
to 
change the computer im controlling by pressing the button on the 
switch box.

I have tried to remove the cables and put them back again. But that 
does 
not help, the only solution I can see is to reboot the system and 
let it 
boot with it selected. I have also booted up with the mouse 
directly 
connected to the computer. Then when the system boot was completed 
I 
moved the mouse around to see that it did work. After that I 
plugged 
back the cable from the switch in to the computers mouse port. And 
the 
plugged the mouse back in the switch box, that did not work either.

I have also added flags to both psm0 and atkbd in my kernel config:
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device  atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device  atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x0
device  psm0at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x0
I have also tried with the flags set to 0x100 on both atkbd0 and 
psm0, 
but that doesn't seem to make any diffrance. I have done this on my 
FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 box as well. I have also changed it in:

/boot/device.hints
But I don't get it working correctly either by that.
Does anybody have a clue or have hade any similar problems and/or 
who 
could shine some light on this problem?

This all sounds familiar. I too had a lot of trouble
with a KVM switch. Actually, I tried two with the same
problem you are alluding to.
Does your KVM support hotkey? I have another KVM switch erlier that did 
work better but It didn't have support for hotkey. But It did not work 
perfectly but atleast the mouse worked mutch better if you compare to this.

I came to the conclusion that the mouse will not work
through the KVM switch using FBSD, or at least I never
got it to.
Im afraid that I can only agree. I have googled some also and there are 
quite a few posts that have the same topic. Some some years old. Not to 
blame FreeBSD but it seems that its a common problem. Or perhaps the KVM 
that I have been using are Crap or something in that direction.

I have two computers that are both running 5.2.1
I have two with FreeBSD-Stable and one with 5.2.1-p9.
I have connected a mouse directly to each computer.
I still had to shutdown both computers and connect 
the cables for the monitor and keyboard from each to
the KVM. I also connected and old mouse to the output
of the KVM.
I know that is a solution, don't need the mouse for the most of the time 
on the servers. But my Workstation Its requierd. Then again its kind of 
dumb to have a KVM if you still have to use the mouse directly connected 
to the computer.

With all this connected, I then powered up both computers. All seems to work fine with 
the inconvenience
of having to use 2 meese. I seldom have to go into one
fo the computers, so I can live with it.
As I still can return the KVM im thinking that I should do it. But not

Duh.  All this newbie can add is that of all the dropped balls
and blind alleys I have experienced wrestling with FreeBSD,
problems with my four port KVM switch have not been among
them. Make of said switch is lost in the mists of time - it is
whatever CompUSA sells.  I have a Logitech track ball;
It and the keyboard have functioned well through various
permutations of 5.1, 5.2, and 4.10, native and under KDE.

But that does not help or even work, but perhaps im doing something

Perhaps the problem is the mouse, Im using a Logitech Click! optical

Actually, I tried two with the same

I had bought one on the mainland last month. When I
couldn't get the mouse to work, I bought another here
on the Big Island. I acted the same so I returned it
and am using the original.
Okey, no help in chaning the mice for you either.
Or perhaps the KVM  that I have been using are Crap or something in that direction.

Me Too!!

I have connected a mouse directly to each computer.
Forgot to mention that both rodents are usb.
What do you mean with rodents, you mean the mice right? Have to luck up 
the word to understand. :)

Then again its kind of dumb to have a KVM if you 
still have to use the mouse directly connected 
to the computer.

At least I don't have to have 2 monitors and 2 keyboards
on the desk.
Well it would be near impossible for me to have 4x keyboards,mice and 
21 monitors. But then again I might get a switch just for keyboard and 
monitor, save space anyway.

What is the brand and model of your KVM?

Made in China
I guess you don't know, mine is LevelOne. Perhaps I should buy something 
more expensive. I think that I would be worth it, the price with cables 
for me was about 106 $. Perhaps It could be some interfarence that 
causes this problem.

Authentication Problem/Login problem

2004-08-09 Thread Mattias Björk
Hi,
I have setup qmail with vpopmail+courier-imap and are using a virtual 
domain. Its named mail.birch.se. Im running it on FreeBSD 5.2.1.

I have used this guide to accomplish this:
http://www.stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/cat_qmail.php;
(Qmail HOWTO 1 thru chapter 3.)
I have also read some of the comments and did the change of
AUTHMODULES=authvchkpw in /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc 
from AUTHMODULES=authdaemon.

And my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains does have this line:
mail.birch.se:mail.birch.se
Im using thunderbird as my MUA. My user name is kladd
Almost everything works fine, I can auth/login via imap-ssl and all. I 
get the certificate and accept it. However when I look in 
/var/log/maillog it says:

Aug 10 01:50:18 mail imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[:::192.168.10.201]
Aug 10 01:50:18 mail imapd-ssl: LOGOUT, ip=[:::192.168.10.201]
(There are more but just the same thing but other date/time stamps)
And I can't see/list my mails, And If I send a mail to my self, with the 
option Place mail in sent folder set. I get an error message saying 
that it can't do it. I have tried to change the password several times 
but that does not seem to make any diffrance.

I have listed and there are the mail that I have sent to my self in 
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/mail.birch.se/kladd/Maildir/new

I hope have not forgotten to do something, I can't think of anything 
that I have forgotten. Perhaps I have missed something but I have also 
checked   the logs in /var/log. I have checked /var/messages and 
/var/log/qmail/current with tail -f. And there is not more that I can 
think of that is wrong.

Does anybody have a clue on what might be wrong? This has something to 
do with the auth. I don't know but it might be something to with the 
open_relay fix/addon in the guide as well.

When you are burning are you using SCSI, IDE or both in a combination?

Note that I had a Hard drive as well attached too my SCSI controller

Hi, list(ners)
Problem nr 1.
I have read the following guide to install qmail:
http://www.stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/cat_qmailhowto.php

I'll try to help. You might have looked at these already but if not, 
they're worthwhile:

http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html for a general guide, especially the qmail 
pictures, and:
Homepage of qmail, have read some of it from time to time.
http://www.lifewithqmail.org - especially read:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#test for some diagnostic and 
testing guidance.
I did know about the page, but I seem to have forgotten about it. The 
Problem is that the link does not work for me as I type. But I have 
google and found some other links that I could use. The might perhaps 
not be so up to date if compared to www.lifewithqmail.org.

Probably the starting point for testing a new installation is to look at 
the output of:

#qmailctl stat
I do not have that commad/script on the server.
to make sure everything is running properly. All uptimes should be  1 
second and identical or very close to it. You should see lines for at 
least qmail-smtpd and qmail-send and their respective logs.

I have not installed from source by my self, I found that all programs 
where avalible thru ports. I will make this as sort as possible,

There is disagreement between the author of qmail and the port 
maintainer about where the service directory should go. djb says 
/service whereas the port maintainer says /var/service and this can lead 
to strange mixed installations, especially when you've been following 
installation or configuration guides that are not specific to FreeBSD. 
Check that you only have one or the other. If qmailctl stat does not 
show enough processes, this might be why.
I have /var/service, my directory listing is like this:
qmail - /var/qmail/service/qmail
smtpd - /var/qmail/service/smtpd
Section 2.4 qmail-conf on the page:
http://stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/91.php
Says how to set up the service files/directories, that is so I have done 
 it.

The file /var/qmail/service/qmail/run does look like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec /var/qmail/rc
And the file /var/qmail/rc does look like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH \
qmail-start ./Maildir/ /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail qmaill
And finaly the file /var/qmail/service/smtpd/run does look like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec 21 \
envdir ./env \
sh -c '
case $REMOTENAME in h) H=;; p) H=p;; *) H=H;; esac
case $REMOTEINFO in r) R=;; [0-9]*) R=t$REMOTEINFO;; *) R=R;; esac

I set up vpopmail with domain setiathome.birch.se. The domain is 
birch.se, fqdn is setiathome.birch.se for the host. I didn't how 
ever install everything. I didn't install ezmlm-idx and auotrespond, 
but its not vital for the operation of the mail-server at this time.

That should be fine.
I had this problem, that i couldn't send message to the FreeBSD 
mailinglists, but I solved it by adding my ISP outgoing smtpserver to 
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes. Perhaps it hade something to do with 
reversed DNS.

I don't think this list checks reverse DNS. Could you send mail anywhere 
else? Some ISPs do not allow e-mail to be sent through their network 
unless their smtp server is used, as an anti-spam precaution.
Aha okey, but I didn't send my mail through my ISP smtp server to get to 
anything else but @freebsd.org, didn't work before that.

Here are my directory listing from /var/qmail/control/:
defaultdomain   plusdomain  smtproutes
locals  rcpthosts   virtualdomains
locals.lock rcpthosts.lock  virtualdomains.lock
me  servercert.pem
In the file defaultdomain and plusdomain are the string entry 
birch.se. In the me file there are the hostname of the mail server. 
And finaly in the virtualdomains file are the string: 
setiathome.birch.se:setiathome.birch.se

That means you're expecting to receive mail addressed to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED] - is that what you want? 
There should also be an entry in rcpthosts, just the domain name, 
setiathome.birch.se in this case. Have you made these entries by hand? 
You shouldn't need to since you are running vpopmail (see below).
Yes, for now. I forgot to say that *.birch.se is my internal domain, and 
 not an domain that works on the internet. How ever I use mutt and 
thunderbird as my MUA and I have set my mail address to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (as you could se in this mail)

I have MX records for setiathome.birch.se and thrawn.birch.se and

Problems with qmail and connecting to smtp daemon and problem with my virtual domain.

2004-05-21 Thread Mattias Björk
Hi, list(ners)
Problem nr 1.
I have read the following guide to install qmail:
http://www.stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/cat_qmailhowto.php
I have not installed from source by my self, I found that all programs 
where avalible thru ports. I will make this as sort as possible, I set 
up vpopmail with domain setiathome.birch.se. The domain is birch.se, 
fqdn is setiathome.birch.se for the host. I didn't how ever install 
everything. I didn't install ezmlm-idx and auotrespond, but its not 
vital for the operation of the mail-server at this time.

I had this problem, that i couldn't send message to the FreeBSD 
mailinglists, but I solved it by adding my ISP outgoing smtpserver to 
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes. Perhaps it hade something to do with 
reversed DNS.

Here are my directory listing from /var/qmail/control/:
defaultdomain   plusdomain  smtproutes
locals  rcpthosts   virtualdomains
locals.lock rcpthosts.lock  virtualdomains.lock
me  servercert.pem
In the file defaultdomain and plusdomain are the string entry 
birch.se. In the me file there are the hostname of the mail server. 
And finaly in the virtualdomains file are the string: 
setiathome.birch.se:setiathome.birch.se

My problems is that I can connect to port 25. The problem is that 
nothing happens, look below:

thrawn/usr/home/thrawn/tmp% telnet setiathome.birch.se 25
Trying 192.168.10.10...
Connected to setiathome.birch.se.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
thrawn/usr/home/thrawn/tmp%
I don't even press a button before Im in the console again. I run the 
sockstat command on my server and I get the following output:

setiathome/var/qmail/control# sockstat  | grep :25
qmaild   tcpserve 666453 tcp4   *:25  *:* 

setiathome/var/qmail/control#
And the output of netstat -nl -f inet -p tcp | grep 25 does not show 
anything how ever.

How ever, in the first chapter of the guide. It says the following at 
1.6 courier-imap Hack :

Because the SMTP after IMAP4(s)/POP3(s) of courier-imap does not work, 
here is a small wrapper. This hack tracks the IP of the authenticating 
user and allows for SMTP sending (i.e. a form of authenticated SMTP relay).

Perhaps that have something to do with that it doesn't work.
Problem nr 2.
The other problem is that I have a user named thrawn that is a local 
user on the system.
The home directory of the user is /usr/home/thrawn.
And the the Maildir diretory is /usr/home/thrawn/Maildir. When I 
connect to my mail via imapd-ssl, It uses the local user Maildir.

But I have a domain for vpopmail at the following directory 
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/setiathome.birch.se

And there I also have a user named thrawn and with the same password 
as the local thrawn account. If I understand it correctly for some 
reason courier-imap doesn't use my virtual domain, but it does use the 
local user. Im sure that it might be me that I have done something wrong 
or the documentation is not completly correct.

Perhaps I should use another domain name and se if it works then, I 
haven't tested that yet. I think that it should work anyway, but I might 
 be wrong.

I hope that this information is of some use and I haven't forgotten to 
mutch information.

Thanks Mattias Björk
