kernel errors - watchdog timeout

2009-05-01 Thread Seur Bors
Greetings,

I'm constantly getting the following repeated in my /var/log/messages:

kernel: re0: watchdog timeout
kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN
kernel: re0: link state changed to UP

This was happening right from the get-go on new hardware running
7.1-Release-p4, but only happened infrequently. Apparently as well, although
everything seems to be working, the server seems to be responding very
sluggish (over 10 minutes to work with a 1MB file through a Samba share, no
exageration on the time).

Can someone point me to required reading for these types of networking
errors?

Thanks in advance!

run_interrupt_driven_hooks

2009-04-09 Thread Seur Bors
Greetings,

I've purchased newer hardware (ASUS M3A78-EM, AMD Phenom 9650, 8GB Kingston
DDR2-800, 2 x WD 500GB SATA), and am attempting to install the FreeBSD 7.1
amd64 release.  The system boots off of the CD without err, and I have
chosen the default boot.

Everything looks good in the detection right up to the drives, and then, I
get the following errors, followed by a system stall:

run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 180 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 240 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 300 seconds for xpt_config

I am googling now while posting this, but just wondering if anyone has a
quick tweak or fix that I can try to get this moving.  Thanks in advance, as
always!

Regards,

Seur Bors

FreeBSD as a Business Server

2009-04-03 Thread Seur Bors
Greetings,

I am recommending a FreeBSD solution to replace an old business file
server.  The old server is running Windows 2000 Professional, and the
company has grown from the 5 employee setting to now two floors and
approximately 15 - 20 people.  They were starting to get connection errors
to the Win2K machine, as I believe, without the Server version of the
software, file sharing and maps are severely limited.

Anyways, my question is thus:  In setting up a FreeBSD machine and utilizing
Samba to support standard file sharing, is there any caveats or issues
that anyone perceives?  I've done multiple FreeBSD installations, and
utilize the Samba package to provide file sharing support in other small
businesses, but have not had to consider 20 connections at once.  The
network connection is just a simple router to switch, all gigabit, and the
system I'm recommending to use as a server also has dual gigabit network
ports.

As well, if anyone has any web-links to recommended reading, I would greatly
appreciate them.

Regards,

sendmail not listening on port 465

2009-02-17 Thread Seur Bors
Greetings,

I'm using 7.0-RELEASE-p9, Sendmail 8.14.2 (Compiled with ... STARTTLS SASLv2
...)

I'm having problems with Sendmail. Everything is working fine, except that
the sendmail daemon is not listening on port 465.  I'm currently in a jailed
environment, and have followed the directions in Lucas's Absolute FreeBSD
2nd Edition (which is an amazing book by the way, and well worth the $60!),
with regards to the full jail setup, and additions for rebuilding Sendmail.
I also have Apache and Dovecot installed, which both use the self-signed
certificates for SSL without err.

my .cf has:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl

A netstat -ap tcp shows .submission and .smtp but no .smtps.  However,
.pop3s and .https are both also enabled, and working fine.

This leads me to believe that the certificates and what not are set-up
alright, just that I'm missing something in sendmail.  Can someone direct me
to some more reading or what I'm missing, as from what I've read thus far,
everything seems to be set up correctly?

Thanks in advance!
