Re: Possible to run 2 instances of Bind DNS server in jails??
The only bit I'm not certain on is dedicating a nic to a jail (more because I havent tried than because I believe it cant be done, I'd expect that the network stack virtualization in 8+ should allow this.) You can most definately run seperate instances of applications in jails.

In this discussion it was mentioned that FreeBSD Jails where the sudo 'equivalent' to Zones but of course behave much more like a chroot environment. I have to ask if it's possible since I'm coming over from Solaris to dedicate NICs to Jails and run separate instances of applications in there, the one I am looking for primarily is Bind.

ports have made me lazy
I need to install zlib (not zlibc), and AFACT it is not included in ports. When I look at the zlib web site, I see that there are several (not a lot, but several) dependencies for the installation -- and I think, OH NO, NOT DEPENDENCIES! Or something like that. I blame it on ports. They have made me lazy. I am a victim. ;-) Anyway, and more to the point, am I missing something? Is zlib really not included in ports? If not, is there an automated/semi-automated means of installing it -- or am I back to the old days of installing dependencies manually?

Re: why no Oracle on FreeBSD ?

Stacey wrote: i noticed that there is no Oracle available for FreeBSD http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html What could be the reason for that ? Best ask direct of commercial application vendor Oracle. IE wave money under Oracle's nose ask to purchase what you want. If Oracle think there's enough profit in it, there's many BSD consultants eg http://berklix.com/consultants/ willing to work. Cheers, Julian -- i was wondering if there is any technical reason behind this ? Most unlikely. Ask Oracle tell advocacy@ what you find out. I'd bet perceived market share demand as ever, ie Money. Hi Julian: Here is the response on the Oracle forum thread to my posting, FreeBSD is a kernel not used in any extant operating system with the sole exception being Apple's Mac OSX so you are heading, The reality is that Oracle is meant to be a very expensive solution for companies that don't know what to do. This makes Red Hat etc an ideal contender for this situation as it promises full enterprise support. Whether it is the truth or if its even a good solution is completely irreverent to these 2 tech companies because at the end of the day they are just trying to make money and please the stock holders. We have bought the occasional Dell server with Enterprise Red Hat and found all sorts of weird little problems. My preferred story was the Perl that RHE came with was bleeding edge (for the time of release) which at first looked nice. But when I discovered my FreeBSD laptop could parse a 500meg log file 4 times faster then the quad core RHE Dell server I know something was wrong. It was just the version Perl that RHE decided to package up the distribution with. I ended up having to build a later version into /usr/local and everything was fine. But is this really a good solution? Was this worthy of the word enterprise? absolutely not, I mean its not a big deal to build a second Perl into /usr/local on RHE but FreeBSD ports seems like a far cleaner and professional solution if you ask me, just because its not point and click friendly shouldn't be some kind of excuse, to me its and clean and pure as I could dream. We hired a person directly from Oracle full time to build a new database project on Oracle. After it was all built and been using it for about 2 years I just thought it was a bit of a disgrace. Oracle is brittle, unreliable and expensive. We had FreeBSD+MySQL along side it the whole time and it was just so much more reliable and faster for the same amount of hardware. Oracle by packaged design is meant to encourage a comparatively massive amount of hardware investment compared to what could be achieved with MySQL and FreeBSD. I think it is just as much about masking its crap performance then any other argument. I think Oracle is a about of system of making money out of false beliefs, it takes full advantage of corporate companies conservative beliefs and is probably only the reasonable solution for at best 5% of the companies it lives at, its all a matter of opinion which would be argued more from how much money a set of individuals are making out of it over a better technical solution. Some how Oracle want people to believe that a few 100's thousand dollars for their software is vastly superior to any other DB in the world is just nonsense. There is not any other mass scale pieces of software that most company's need where there is some how a magically vastly superior solution. There is no single/few license $100,000 operating system, no single/few license $100,000 excel, no single/few license $100,000 web server. I guess what I am saying at the end of this is that if you can avoid Oracle that is great, I fully recommend you do. Just because you can buy MySQL Enterprise Server far more cheaply and install/deploy it far more easily on more different platforms isn't something to be suspicious about, its just a better software solution and I recommend you take full advantage of it while you still can. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yeah, I was considering leading with an apology for the on-topic post. g
to be able to take a Windows zip file that is stored as a MIME
attachment to an e-mail message in an Mbox-format spool file, and
unzip the attachment. I actually need to script the process. In case
it helps, I can dedicate a mailbox to the task.
Anyone know of any FreeBSD utility(ies) that do(es) this?
Generally, when you're talking about processing an mbox and doing
something with message bodies, you're looking at formail plus procmail
in combination with a tool that can interpret the mime structure and
process the components (mimedefang, demine, stripmime, mimedecode,
reformime, renattach, etc.). That's a roundabout way of saying, no,
there are no FreeBSD utilities to do what you want, but there's lots to
be found in ports.
Sorry, I misspoke: sed 's/utilities/ports/g'
I'd start with a quick read through of some of those manpages, but at
first glance, ripmime alone might do the trick:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ripmimeapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+7.2-RELEASE+and+Portsformat=ascii
This, and Ian's munpack suggestion, will both do what I need -- but
with one [very minor] exception: There is no way to override the file
name specified in the MIME header (if present, which, in my case, it
typically will be) and force it to use a specific output file name.
Or just send the output to stdout, so I can redirect it to a file
name of my choice (or to unzip). Not a show stopper by any means,
just requires a workaround. I suspect that the authors of these
utilities (there I go again) expected they would be invoked
interactively.
If necessary, I can write my own parser to strip out the attachment,
in which case I'd need only a widget that can take in a MIME (base64)
encoded zip file, convert it to binary, and unzip it.
In that case, and assuming you're using Perl, MIME::base64 and
IO::Uncompress::Unzip (or /usr/ports/archivers/unzip) is what you want.
Bonus points for writing a one-liner.
Using C, but shelling out where necessary to get stuff done.
It looks like {ripmime, munpack} and unzip will do the trick. Many
thanks for the pointers. I now return you to your regularly scheduled
META discussion(s)... :-)

Re: Issue With 7.0-Rel - 7.1-Rel Update
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or should I make a couple of backups (test them to confirm they're viable) and install v7.1 from scratch? Hmmm. There's actually a certain appeal to installing v7.1 from scratch. RHEL has the option of creating SoftRAID mirrors at install time (and later, of course). Does the FreeBSD installer have that capability, as well? If so, then I'll probably go that route even if there's a simple solution to the dilemma below; disk space has become so incredibly cheap that it's almost a mistake *not* to configure mirrors at this point.

Wash, rinse, repeat, FOR [more than] FORTY MINUTES' worth of files. Each time, I kept thinking, Okay, this has to be the last one.., but it wasn't. Even after 40 minutes, the process was not completed -- I just threw in the towel. For all I know, this process could have continued for all 21632 files -- version 11.5-RELEASE could have been out by the time I finished that process. So, first of all, what did I do wrong? Second, when I start the upgrade over again, what should I do differently? And, if all else fails: In each case of editing the files, the v7.1 version was fine. Is there any way to tell it, I have good backups, and want to live dangerously, so Just Do It, and don't ask me if I want to edit anything...?

Its probably worth your while asking the maintainer or filing a PR. I searched for /bin/ip and could not find it nor could I find ip anywhere in the file system. nope its a linuxism, doesnt exist in freebsd, for routing we use route. man ip brings up info but it looks like it is not a bin but a structure used in c??? not too sure about that. Has anyone ran across this? Is there an alternate instead of ip? Perhaps I can hack it into the source. I would probably suggest using mpd (/usr/ports/net/mpd5) myself, its very well supported on freebsd and although it does way more than you need its pretty simple to setup, (the sample mpd.conf has an example pptp_client you can adapt.)

You probably don't want to do it with binary upgrades, for many reasons, including unexpected problems (i.e. possibility of ending up with a system so messed up nobody could help you restore it). Do a source upgrade to 6.0 then to 7.0 - it's not hard. For best effects, you need to also recompile all additional ports installed on the server (actually, you *can* run ports compiled for 5.x on 7.x but as soon as you need to upgrade one of them, you'll probably need to upgrade all or most of them because of cross-dependencies). Got it. There are sites that go through the 6.x to 7.0 upgrade, but I've foud nothing that explains how to get from 5. to 6.x.

I still don't know that this is doing anything meaningful in the context
of ZFS memory use.
I understood it to just be showing a summary of kernel memory
utilization, no specific zfs stuff (which I guess could be got from
vmstat -z although I dont understand those statistics well enough to do
this myself.) Semi useful in a peripheral way maybe.

Re: Nanobsd on a CD-ROM
to make a freebsd CDROM bootable you need to use the /boot/cdboot as the loader and make an ISO image. the nanobsd procedure creates a ufs disk image from what I understand. Try mounting the disk image mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 11 -f /path/to/image/_.disk.full mkdir /mnt/image mount /dev/md11 /mnt/image (might be /dev/md11s1a or similar, see whats created and find what works.) Then make an ISO of the mounted nanobsd image mkisofs -J -R -no-emul-boot -b /boot/cdboot \ -iso-level 3 -o nanobsd.iso /mnt/image Then either burn it to CD or install qemu to see if it boots before making another coaster.

Re: Need to build a new mail server
As a sysadmin at a medium mailhosting ISP (~15,000 email customers, averaging about 5 email addresses per customer,) we use a load balanced cluster of Dovecot and exim servers with mysql backend. Theres no way we could use qmail, it just doesnt have the flexibility even with 1/2 a dozen patches. That said I do like postfix I've used it before for smtp relay servers and its performed like a champ.

It's about time to replace it, and I'm thinking FreeBSD might be the best choice of OS for the replacement. However, it's been some time since I looked into options for mail servers. I'm interested in both suggestions for hardware and mail servers that would make for the best FreeBSD based mail server. I've only got about two dozen users, though they are all very heavy users of email. I'm using IMAP, and I'd like to continue to do so. Finally, we have quite a few aliases I'd want to port over to a new server. I also recommend dovecot. I'm using it for several years without a problem, and it was quite simple to setup. I'm using it with sendmail, though (not postfix), because I've been using sendmail for almost 20 years and haven't had a reason to switch. If you're already familiar with sendmail on Solaris, then I recommend you continue using sendmail on FreeBSD (it's the default MTA that comes with the base system). Having said that, Postfix _is_ a very good MTA, I'm using it at work. If you're willing to switch and invest a little bit of time learning something new, then Postfix is certainly a good choice.

Re: Low/Jerky performance in FreeBSD 7
Yani Brankov wrote: Hey guys, Hi I recently updated to FreeBSD 7 and noticed that my box started to perform as windows does under heavier loads. The mouse starts to be jerky when compiling, window updates/redraws are slow and bump the CPU usage up to 100%. I attributed this to the mga driver which comes with the distro in the beginning. However, I later noticed the same happens even when X has not been started. For instance, I start a kernel compile and the console mouse becomes jumpy. All these have never happened before with FreeBSD on this box. It has enough memory (1.5G) and relatively fast CPU (2.5GHz). I started to think this may be originating from kernel level (irq handling, long times in giant locked code during syscalls, etc).

rndis on freebsd?
Hi all, I've been looking at using my htc hermes (orange spv3100) as a 3g modem. To do this it looks like I need to attach it as an rndis device and set the phone as my router. Is this supported at all in freebsd? I tried hacking if_cdce (added device ID) and when i enable connection sharing on the phone it attaches, but I cant get it to talk to my laptop over the cdce interface (either trying dhcp on the cdce interface, manually giving it the IP it gets given on windows or manually setting both ends) so i'm guessing it needs something more.

Again, any direction or help on this is appretiated
and welcome.
Since as far as I know linuxpluginwrapper hasnt been updated in well
over a year (other than to remove support for 5.x from the makefile)
and the main driver for development on it (using flash) has been taken
over by nspluginwrapper, You could try installing the linux jdk since
this bit of the makefile indicates that if your using the linux jdk you
dont need to have linuxpluginwrapper.
.if ${JAVA_PORT_OS} == native
WITH_PLUGINWRAPPER= yes
RUN_DEPENDS+=${LOCALBASE}/lib/pluginwrapper/jai.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/linuxpluginwrapper
.endif
bit of a pain since 1/2 the point of java was meant to be platform
independence ;)
Other options are:
the 7.0 release notes say:
The rtld(1) runtime linker now supports ELF symbol versioning using GNU
semantics. This implementation aims to be compatible with symbol
versioning support as implemented by GNU libc and documented in
http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/symbol-versioning and LSB 3.0. Also,
dlvsym() function has been added to allow lookups for a specific version
of a given symbol.
This may mean that the ports makefile needs updating and you can just
delete the lines in /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/Makefile that say
.if ${OSVERSION} = 79
IGNORE= doesn't support ELF symbol versioning, yet.
.endif
your other option is to see if you can get it running with
nspluginwrapper instead i guess, not sure how easy/hard this would be.

Re: Odd aliasing question

I've have been informed by my network admin that we will need to change the IPs of our legacy name servers (we are just dragging them along for a time, new name servers are up and domains are being moved to them). Currently the IP of ns2 is 208.252.191.2, this needs to change to 65.123.104.25. The network admin is telling me he will have the router for that NOC cage handle both IPs no problems. However I need to continue answering the old IP until clients can get their equipment reconfigured. This will work fine. Can I alias 208.252.191.2 once I change the NIC's IP to 65.123.104.25 with a default route of 65.123.104.1? yes, What netmask would use for the alias line? Whatever you currently use for those IPs.

For the avoidance of doubt, no embedded or device versions of the above operating systems, or any other operating systems, are included as Authorized Operating Systems. ... 2.1You may install and use the Software on a single desktop or laptop computer that runs an Authorized Operating System. A license for the Software may not be shared, installed or used concurrently on different computers. ...where Authorized Operating Systems is only Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS as defined before the initial sentence, and as such, there's no clause that allows you to use the software on BSDs, and finally, that makes it forbidden to use on BSDs. This is another reason why Flash is bad, bad, bad. Am I repeating myself? There appears to be an echo in this room FWIW, should you accidentally comment out the RESTRICTED declaration in the port Makefile, and the plugin tarball mysteriously materialize in /usr/ports/distfiles, you could perhaps accidentally install the port and put yourself in violation of the license (you naughty boy you). I couldn't find the flashplugin-7 tarball anywhere, but the flashplugin-9 tarball is at http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz (so you can download it for your linux machines, duh ;) ) Also people saying that FreeBSD has no licence to use flash should read /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin9/pkg-descr or /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7/pkg-descr Where the 2006 UPDATING entrry is addressed. personally http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp7_archive.zip will download fine for me.

Re: lightly loaded php+mysql - high syscall/csw rates

But according to vmstat(1), it all peaks at over 500k syscall/s and 100k cswitch/s. The peaks are quite frequent, even at this load. During the peaks top(1) shows 30-40k VCSW for mysql and around 1k vcsw for two php-cgi worker processes. IVCSW is relatively very low for all processes. This is a 4-core Opteron HP DL145 G2 server running 6.2/amd64 generic+quota. I'm considering a switch to 7.0. During peaks user/system/idle in top(1) is 20/30/50. The question is - is the syscall and csw rates normal or should I be trying to tune mysql and php more agressively? I'm not hungry for performance (haven't hit the limit yet), but a couple of days ago the server stopped responding until a cold reboot (which is another story) - and now I'm paying closer attention to its vitals. This sounds like it could be related to the issues being discussed on a thread on freebsd-stable titled 2 x quad-core system is slower that 2 x dual core on FreeBSD [http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mailindex.cgi?sort=subjectfile=current/freebsd-stable] Switching to 7 and SCHED_ULE may gain you perfromance for this kind of workload over 4 cores going by the benchmarks provided by Kris Kennaway, although they mainly deal with 8 core systems. Forcing MySQL to use libthr instead of libpthread in libmap.conf may also help also and going solely by one post in the thread mentioned above you could try reducing kern.hz in loader.conf to something like 100 as this could help reduce the context switches.

Re: /bin/sh Can one Easily Strip Path Name from $0?
Martin McCormick wrote:
I am ashamed to admit that I have been writing shell
scripts for about 15 years but this problem has me stumped. $0
is the shell variable which contains the script name or at least
what name is linked to the script. The string in $0 may or may
not contain a path, depending upon how the script was called. It
is easy to strip off the path if it is always there
#! /bin/sh
PROGNAME=`echo $0 |awk 'BEGIN{FS=/}{print $NF}'`
echo $PROGNAME
That beautifully isolates the script name but if you happen to
call the script without prepending a path name such as when the
script is in the execution path, you get an error because there
are no slashes in the string so awk gets confused.
Is there a better way to always end up with only the script name and
nothing else no matter whether the path was prepended or not?
basename should do it.
Thank you.

Re: Tkinter Libraries Needed
Hmm you could try pkg_delete py24-imaging-1.1.5 and see if that works better (may need -f) I tend to use portupgrade though. Vince [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Right.

Re: Ports with GUI configs
Ashley Moran wrote: Hi I was just wondering, what is the motivation behind the GUI configuration for some ports? Simply put, they drive me up the wall. I've lost count of the number of times I've come back to a big install to find it hanging on a config screen. Possibly I'm missing something. The apache22 port is the latest one to join this crowd, although there is an option to skip the GUI. I'm much happier using WITH_PROXY_MODULES or whatever, and managing everything in pkgtools.conf. What is the best way to pre-configure GUI-configured ports? For example, if I want to script an installation of several ports. I've seen this: http://www.freshports.org/misc/dotfile/, is it what I'm after? I think what you want is the make config-recursive target which should go through the dependencies and do the gui config for them all, (after the first run the gui config saves the configs in /var/db/ports/$portname/options and shouldn't prompt a second time.) For apache22 it looks like setting WITHOUT_APACHE_OPTIONS=YES should disable the menu and let you go back to using pkgtools.conf although I haven't tested it. Its possible that setting BATCH=YES and using pkgtools.conf will work too but my understanding of the BATCH and INTERACTIVE makefile options are a little unclear. I agree though, I often suffer the same problem, coming back after a few hours to a build that should have finished to find its sitting on the first dependency.

Re: X screen film recording
Wojciech Puchar wrote: I once used vnc2swf on Linux. It looks like it's in ports, so I'm well i would like to convert OUT OF flash movie to something like animated gif or just frames. vnc2pnm or vnc2avi or vnc2gif would be nice. but there's no such things. ffmpeg appears to have the ability to convert swf to avi/mpeg although I havent tried it. so you could record then convert.
