RE: Postgres Startup Error Message

Any suggestions? I had a similar problem before with an older version of PostgreSQL. The problem was that the rc script was waiting for input from the user. It was waiting for a password. Depending on how you set up your PostgreSQL, it might ask for a password on startup. It might help to post the versions of PostgreSQL and FreeBSD you are using. -- ___ oo // \\ || Gerard (_,\/ \_/ \ || [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ \_/_\_/|| /_/ \_\ || If today is the first day of the rest of ___|| your life, then what was yesterday? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best Regards, Rick Apichairuk ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: rc.d scripts
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Stone Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2007 8:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: rc.d scripts From: Tom Grove [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rc.d scripts Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:15:29 -0400 Does anyone know how to make a script in /etc/rc.d run last? For instance I want dhclient to be the last script in /etc/rc.d/ to run. Any help is much appreciated. -Tom This may have already been answered by others, but I believe just rename the script with a prefix of z for example: zmyscript.sh or zzmyscript to make it very last beyond the first one with a z. It works for me. You might have also noticed that some ports come with number prefixed rc startup scripts. You can prefix your scripts with numbers like: 01_apache.sh 02_mysql.sh 03_pgsql.sh That way you can always adjust the exact order.

is there a way to configure a jail to use more than one ip address?

jail(8) only allows you one IP -- there are some patches around
which will let you create jails with more IPs, and even better
there's a clonable network stack under development -- meaning
each jail can have it's own firewall instance etc. etc.
However none of that is really ready for prime time usage just
yet. In fact, that's all rather experimental at the moment and
suitable only for gurus to play with.
There is an alternative.
You can achieve something like what you want with a bit of
firewall trickery. Add an alias IP to the loopback interface --
say 127.0.0.2
:# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00
inet 127.0.0.2 netmask 0x
Now create a jail using that IP. Something like this in
/etc/rc.conf is what you'll need, plus following the instructions
in jail(8) to create the filesystems in the jail:
jail_enable=YES
jail_list=j1
jail_j1_hostname=j1.example.com
jail_j1_interface=lo0
jail_j1_mount_enable=YES
jail_j1_fstab=/etc/fstab.jail.j1
jail_j1_ip=127.0.0.2
jail_j1_rootdir=/jail/j1.example.com
Fire up whatever services you want inside your jail -- within it,
you'll have to configure everything to bind to the jail IP
127.0.0.2 specifically, but that's just the way things are in jails
even without this redirection trick.
Now, configure the IPs on interfaces you want the outside world to
see as belonging to your jail -- for illustrative purposes I'll
choose 12.34.56.78 and 12.34.56.79 as example addresses to use for
the jail. Then use firewall NAT functionality to redirect traffic
into the jail. If you use pf (definitely recommended) then a
snippet like the following should be useful in /etc/pf.conf:
jail_int=127.0.0.2
jail_ext0=12.34.56.78
jail_ext1=12.34.56.79
# Outward connections from within the jail
nat on $ext_if proto { tcp udp } \
from $jail_int\
to !$jail_int - $jail_ext0 static-port
# Incoming connections to the jail
rdr on $ext_if proto tcp \
from any \
to { $jail_ext0 $jail_ext1 } port { 25 80 } - $jail_int
If you want to run multiple HTTPS v-hosts from within the jail
you'll have to configure them to all run on distinct port numbers
within apache, and use something like this to generate the mapping:
rdr on $ext_if proto tcp \
from any \
to $jail_ext0 port 443 - $jail_int port 8443
rdr on $ext_if proto tcp \
from any \
to $jail_ext1 port 443 - $jail_int port 9443
This approach works pretty well for many protocols, but it does have
the basic limitation that you can tell a priori from within the jail
which external address the traffic went to. Either you've got to
determine the answer by looking at the traffic payload (eg. HTTP has
a header saying which v-host the request is for) or apply the sort of
port remapping shown above.
Cheers,
Matthew

You have a very interesting work around to the problem. I am using jails as
virtual servers and was wondering about the same thing myself. I will have to
try this. Thanks for the idea.

Re: Linux equivalent to freebsd
Hi, Sorry this question is a little off-topic... We've been using Freebsd for many years and all of our servers are running freebsd. The only thing that is a pain with freebsd, is poor commercial support :( We are running in a situation where a customer needs Zend platform 3 (http://www.zend.com/products/zend_platform) which won't be available for freebsd until the end of the year... So I will need to setup a machine with linux. I don't know much about linux distributions, could someone recommend one to me please. We are looking for a platform that will support amd64 extensions, will act as a console only server and that has a good way to install ports and upgrade. We want something secure and stable. We don't wanna go with Redhat or any commercial distribution. I really like the cvsup/make install/portupgrade way of dealing with software installation and updates and I am looking for something equivalent on a linux distribution. Could you recommend a distribution you are using in production, we've check ubuntu, fedora and Debian, but I wonder what freebsd users recommend... Thanks I recommend Gentoo or Slackware. I feel that these are most similar to FreeBSD in organization, configuration and third party software management. Personally, I use Gentoo when I can't use FreeBSD. With Gentoo, you can compile everything to be optimized for your specific processor if you want to do so.
