Re: cannot ftp using proxy

2013-06-03 Thread Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.
Delving through the source code...it appears that it only uses the ftp_proxy 
when given an ftp url

something like:

 ftp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/README.TXT
Requesting ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/README.TXT
  (via www-proxy.ksu.edu:8080)
100% |***|  3795   26.38 KiB/s00:00 ETA
3795 bytes retrieved in 00:00 (26.36 KiB/s)

Only the fetch side uses proxy (triggered by there being a ':' in the argument.)

The interactive ftp side doesn't.

Re: backups using rsync

 There are other tools you can use, for example tar or cpdup
 or rsync, as you've mentioned in the subject.
 
 

Or if you want to be ambitious you could install something like 
'sysutils/backuppc' (where one of its methods is rsync, its what I use for all 
the systems I back up with it. - Windows, Linux, Mac OSX.)

And, then could get more than just the weekly rsync to itthough it could 
probably be made to only do fulls every week.  But, you could potentially then 
restore from an older full.

I do system fulls of my other systems to it...can't do a baremetal restore, but 
it can get me back up and running faster.  IE: I recently had harddrive 
failures in a couple of FreeBSD systems.  I did a fresh install and at first I 
restored /home and /usr/local (and some other dirs, like /var/db/pkg  
/var/db/ports)...and then other dirs and files as I found things missing.  Had 
to rebuild a handful of ports after that and then things were good.

The second system didn't go as well, because it had been silently corrupting 
things for a long time beforebut I still did the same kind of restore at 
first, but ended up rebuilding all the ports to get things good again.

Not sure if losing the system disk, if I could recover from a local backuppc... 
but I have my old backuppc system, getting most of my current system (mainly 
omit the backuppc pool, think my backup storage requirements would grow 
exponentially if I didn'tmy main backuppc pool is currently 6300G out of 
7300G zpool.)  But, I've suffered bit rot on the old backuppc pool in the 
past..when it was a RAID 1+0 arrayprobably worse now that its a 2.7TB 
volume without raid (the only volume on that system that isn't mirrored.)  
Though wonder if I want to try zfs on linux again, or replace it with FreeBSD.

I was faced with something like this on my Windows boxwhere eventually, I 
ended up writing off restoring from the local backup (a commercial time machine 
like product)...the mistake was using a windows fake raid5 external array as my 
backup drive.  And, losing the system due to problems in the fake raid.  I did 
briefly put together a CentOS live CD that could access the array, but the 
drives I copied the data to promptly failed on me shortly after I had broken 
the array and turned them into a raidz pool.  Someday I need to get back to 
going through the disk image of the failed system drive and recover as much as 
possible from that.  The box that was my Windows desktop is now my FreeBSD 
desktop

  Don't you just love it when this stuff happens.

 3.) I can't change my DNS / mail forwarding service, because the email I

 I don't know what else to do at this point.
 The company that currently owns ZoneEdit (Dotster) won't help me -- they

Networking IP Address Issues : NetBSD on Xen VM

2012-07-03 Thread dhaneshk k


List,

Little bit offtopic of FreBSD, Hope some one can help with some suggestions..


The Objective is to
port NetBSD as a Virtual Machine into  Cloud.






Steps Involved in
Porting NetBSD as a Virtual Machine:





Porting of NetBSD as
a Virtual Machine involves 2 steps.


A. Porting NetBSD
w.r.t Virtualization



B. Porting NetBSD
w.r.t Cloud MiddleWare


If Step 1 is
completed successfully, then only Step2 could be proceeded.







A. Porting NetBSD
w.r.t Virtualization:




 
We use Xen
Virtualization.Xen Virtualization involves the following steps.


Various methods are
available to port NetBSD as Virtual Machine in Xen





1. Building from ISO
( Via Paravirtualization - Using NetBSD community provided Kernel /
Full Virtualization - using Qemu )






2. Building the
NetBSD File System from the Source





We have tried both
the ways.







1.1 Building from ISO
( Via Paravirtualization - Using NetBSD community provided Kernel ):





1. Get the ISO file
of NetBSD Operating System .


2. Build the IMG
File from the ISO File by using NetBSD community provided Kernel 






Refer :
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html






1.2 Building from ISO
( Via Full virtualization - Using Qemu):





Refer:
http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/creating-images-iso-xen


By following the
above Step, the following version of NetBSD Image was built.










Version



NetBSD
5.1





Kernel



XEN3_DOMU

amd64





Architecture



amd64
/ 64 Bit Guest Virtual Machine








Working
Components :





The NetBSD Guest is
booted successfully in Multi User Mode, which enables root user to
create / delete files / directories.


The Network
Interface is xennet0



The File System
details are as follows.

Issues Faced:





Unable to set IP
Address manually (or) via dhclient
command.



Even though static
IP Address is assigned, netmask,gateway

is set, the NetBSD Guest
Virtual Machine is unable to

 connect to outside Network; Machines in
outside network 

are also unable to connect to the NetBSD Guest
Virtual 

Machine .





Please shed some light on this, Why this issue occurs ?  Or  doing wrong way?






2. Building the
NetBSD File System and Kernel from the Source:







NetBSD Image could
be built by connecting to the NetBSD

 repository, download the Source
packages, compile and build

the Kernel and the NetBSD File System;
at last convert the

 NetBSD File System into a single Image via makefs
command.







I compiled 64 Bit
NetBSD Kernel and 64 Bit NetBSD File System.






B. Porting NetBSD
into Cloud MiddleWare:





Porting NetBSD into
Cloud Middleware involves bundling ,

 uploading and registering
Kernel, RamDisk and Machine Image

 into  Cloud.











The
NetBSD Image has been uploaded into cloud and a sample Virtual
Machine was run Successfully in our Cloud Setup (192.168.1.6).












Refer :


http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_now_runs_under_amazon





By following this
procedure, the following version of NetBSD

 Image was built.

RE: DRI for Radeon HD5450 on FreeBSD 9.0

2012-02-23 Thread Adam K Kirchhoff



Dear list,

I own a radeon HD5450 and I would like to know how well it is supported
by freeBSD 9, in partocular DRI and 3D accelaeration.

I have a fresh 9.0/amd64 on my machine and Xorg fails to initialise the
DRI.  It says (from Xorg-0.log):

(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
(II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 338 x 270

As the last line of the snippet displays it, I use radeon(4x) as driver.

I used the page

http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/troubleshooting.html  
http://people.freebsd.org/%7Eanholt/dri/troubleshooting.html

to try to diagnose the problem and it seems that none of the driver agp
radeondrm and drm is able to initaialize correctly.

Can you enable DRI for HD5450 on FreeBSD 9.0 ?
Do you have some useful documentation to show me?

In any of these cases, I would say ``thanks!''

Best regards,
Michael


Neither 2D nor 3D acceleration are supported on any HD5xxx or higher 
GPU.  Nor will they be supported till radeon KMS is implemented.

kgdb vmcore Cannot access memory at 0x252d1

2011-05-10 Thread dhaneshk k

list,

 I  am new to kernel debugging,   I compiled  a new 
kernel with options   KDB and DDBin addition to the GENERIC
config and booted with the new  kernel.( Goal is to debug  the
coredumps  in my laptops /var/crash/vmcore  files and try to find and
fix the panic/situation which produce these coredumps)

I tried to analyze   all  of the   vmcore filesin my /var/crash/vmcore.x
core dumps

steps done
after booting  into the   new kernel

#  cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYCUSTORMKERNEL
#kgdb kernel.debug  /var/crash/vmcore.0

For
all the vmcore files  I am getting  this output..  Cannot access
memory at address 0x252d1, how can I proceed  from here, 

How
to debug  what  is happening,  what makes the kernel  to dump these
vmcores  and  fix the issue by using  further debugging..
what  are the next steps ,  if there a message  in kgdb  Cannot access memory 
at address   0x252d1 or any address  

Please share your  suggestion and hints to debug  more from this point. I am 
stuck here..

Thanks in advance

Re: Need bsd make for AIX

2010-09-16 Thread srividya . k
We have some open source code for RPC calls - DCE that has c programs and 
corresponding makefiles.
When we tried gmake or make ( AIX make) , we were getting syntax errors.
We found that all the makefiles had syntax that corresponds to makeutility 
of BSD?

Do you have any alternative?
Is there any BSD make utility that can be installed in AIX machine?

Re: Support for AIX

2010-09-16 Thread srividya . k
We have a source code that needs to be compiled. Its the OpenGroup's DCE( 
used as RPC).
The source code is available , but we are not able to compile it with 
either AIX's make utility or gmake.

The syntax corresponds to BSD's make.

Will try getting the make utility from the URL?

Is there any other make utility. I am not sure if bmake is the exact 
utility we require.

The makefile has macros as  --  .if define
  --- .if exists
and all the statements start with ..   GMAKE or AIX make throws errors 
with this make file.

Will bmake be the right make utility to for above type of source code?

Yes LOTS,... bmake/nmake/gnu make/etc. etc. etc.
All Make commands are not made alike you need to use the one that 
suits the syntax of the makefile in question.

Judging from the Q that was asked... if the software you want to compile 
is OpenSource look into NetBSD's Pkgsrc system

Make doesn't handle source code, it just control's the actual build 
process so you don't have to type hundreds of cc . lines in a 
console.

Have you tried contacting the current maintainers of DCE for advice?
Maybe a bit of googling

Have you tried verifying the Makefile's format using the -n switch ???

I would suggest contacting either IBM or the OpenGroup about this as we're 
just guessing here this is the __FreeBSD__ mailing lists... we can try 
help but honestly the vendors are the right people to ask.

Server cannot boot : mount root got stuck

2010-07-01 Thread dhaneshk k

Fellow FreeBSDians, 


 I am experiencing a problem with my FreeBSD server box. I can't  get the 
system up. when I boot the machine its boots asking for boot options, and going 
with the default boot option
This is an old freeBSD server box with FreeBSD-6.1

then its reaching  mount root 

after that nothing,   its  stuck on this  prompt  mount root

 mount root

I didn't do anything,  day before yesterday its working.. 
Yesterday when I tried to login from my desktop ,  it not allowing  me to login 
through my ssh keys
 so I checked physically the server and connected a monitor, seeing   the   
boot splash image is garbled with some alphabetic characters.. and tried to 
reboot, hardware reboot.
But  it reaching the boot splash image of FreeBSD with   boot options  
displayed, but what ever boot option I select , it not going further, but 
reboots again to the boot splash image screen.

Today morning  I just took its hard disk and connected to another box having 
same specs
Then I started the box, with the harddisk  of my server ...,  then it going 
after the boot, so I thought issues over...

But my bad, this time  it comes to a  prompt  mount root  and stuck there..

No key board inputs works  in   mount root  prompt


Any hints to recover this  issue,  most appreciated, and this is a  production 
server , and I want it up as early as possible.

Thanks in Advance
Dhanesh

ZFS not returning correct data if checksum fails? (copies=2)

2010-06-21 Thread Aravind K. Mikkilineni
Hi,

I may have experienced some odd behavior from ZFS running 8.0-STABLE-201004 
amd64.

I have a zpool 'zhome' on my laptop with checksum=on and copies=2. I was 
getting ready to burn a FreeBSD DVD today and was verifying the checkums of the 
image I downloaded (stored 
on zhome). I got a match on the md5 hash, but a mismatch on the sha256 hash. 
Rerunning the sha256 hash gave the correct result. I luckily just got in the 
office earlier and had a 
zpool status in my terminal buffer which indicated no errors on zhome. Running 
zpool status after the checksumming operations shows one checksum error. 

I was under the impression that ZFS, upon encountering a checksum error, would 
check the second copy of the block (since I have set copies=2) and send that 
data instead (assuming it 
was correct), that does not seem to have happened. I have run into checksum 
errors in the past where I had copies=1, in those cases ZFS would simply stop 
reading the file at that 
point and I would get a read error, which I did not in this case. Also I am 
fairly certain that the dvd image was not buffered in RAM between hashes (i.e. 
each hash read the data 
from disk).

Perhaps the checksum was correct the first time around and some other part of 
my system corrupted the data? RAM has been tested many months ago using 
memtest86 and several other 
tools without problem (not that new problems couldn't have popped up).

freebsd on netbook

2010-05-19 Thread Anh K. Huynh
Hello all,

I intend to buy a netbook for convenience (for many remote jobs, a netbook 
seems to be enough) whose cost is around $400. I'd like have freebsd on that 
netbook (oh, no linux, no windows, please :-) but it's hard to choose a right 
one that works fine (even with Ubuntu. See 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks.)

Does anyone experience this problem? 

Thank you for your comments.

  Check out Daniel Hartmeier's excellent article on how to prioritize
  TCP ACKs (and other traffic). It will explain what you experience and
  solve the problem for you.
 
 It's a good idea to handle this from within  transmission too.
 Rate limiting works best at the TCP level.

 totally different. Can somebody plz confirm ?

Yes. Different files, different hash. Confirmed.

 I confirmed the download was complete and uninterrupted, but still just
 concerned about this.

If it wasn't for the user error, you should be. Compare to the correct
hash, or uncompress your downloaded file first.

Hi,

 I recently found a nifty FreeBSD ZFS root installation script and

 from GPT to MBR partitioning. However, I was stumped, even though I
 had done everything right (or so I thought), the system would get
 stuck at Loader and refuse to go anywhere. After trying over a dozen

probably this line is the cause:

dd if=/mnt2/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/${TARGETDISK}s1a skip=1 seek=1024

Unless by swap first you meant the on-disk location, and not the

Is your firewall acting as an Appletalk router?  I guess I'm not understanding 
why you are sending AFP to the firewall and not through the firewall from host

When you log your block statement and tcpdump the pflog0 interface, are you 
seeing the blocks?

build a port that depends on Java

2009-12-08 Thread Anh K. Huỳnh
Hi,

I am going to build a port (named `vue`, http://vue.tufts.edu/) that depends on 
Java libraries but I don't know how to set the dependencies (the RUN_DEPENDS 
variable in `Makefile`). I know some kinds of Java and don't know which one 
should be used. At least, Vue works well with OpenJDK6.

Another problem is that the original file for port is in `.zip` format. As far 
as I know `.zip` isn't natively supported in FreeBSD. Should I convert that 
file to `.tar.gz` format and redistribute in my site (instead of using file 
from VUE master site?). Though using 
EXTRACT_DEPENDS=unzip:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/unzip is possible I think such 
usage is so expensive :)

Thank you for your helps,

Regards,

This is due to DNS problem. Your DNS resolver must work before you run

 All settings on FreeBSD8.0 are the same as I had on 7.2.

 I'm at the end of my rope here with PF.  I have a ruleset loaded, that
 is long and complicated...but I've shortened to to a pass all rule.
 The box has 4 interfaces, one for pfsync, one for me to connect to it,
 and two bridged interfaces.  The only traffic on the bridged
 interfaces is STP and IP multicast traffic from my EIGRP routers.
 When I run pfctl -s rules -v, the EIGRP multicast traffic never hits
 any rules...yet it's allowed.
 
 I'm on FreeBSD 7.1.
 
 Has anyone else come across this before?  I'm ready to throw out
 FreeBSD 7.1 and try OpenBSD for pf use...which would be a shame since
 I use FreeBSD for all my other servers, and having 2 OpenBSD boxes
 would just be... weird...
 
 --Brian
 
For troubleshooting, try this:

Block in all log
(remove all other log statements)
tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0

That's provided you set up a pflog0 interface.  If not, add this to
rc.conf
pflog_enable=YES
pflog_logfile=/var/log/pflog

and 'ifconfig pflog0 up'

  The system he's familiar with is Windows only.  I've done a little 
  research, but I'm wondering if anyone reading the list has 
  experience with a CMS on FreeBSD - one that's in ports preferably.
 
 Due using Postgres, I've had experience on both Drupal and 
 Serendipity, both installed mostly from ports and seem to be updated 
 pretty regularly - although Serendipity can self repair - i.e. load 
 updates for plugins and itself automatically. Both have functioned 
 well enough, although with Drupal if you need more exotic array of 
 plugins, they have to be installed manually as ports seem to miss 
 several.
 
 In addition, some of the Drupal plugins need a bit of tweaking 
 (getting rid of mysqlisms) if used under Postgres, although the main 
 application works good enough.

RE: New mail server setup

2009-09-17 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
Hello Steve:

I'll try to answer your questions in line.  

snip
 
  Another approach would be a cluster of Postfix servers and Dovecot
  servers behind PF load balancers.  We have 3 POP servers
 (IMAP/POP), 9
  Mail Servers, 2 Defer servers and 5 Filter servers that process over
 20
  million messages a day without a blip.  We can take individual
 servers
  out of the pool for maintenance, etc.  Everything is fed to a set of
  redundant NAS for the data storage and common configuration files.
 
 Thanks Mike,
 
 I'm interested to learn a little more about your setup. I was going to
 take it off-list, but if you can provide some further details, it
would
 probably add long-term value to keep it here.
 
 So, a couple of questions:
 
 - can your PF load balancers 'sense' when one of the Postfix/Dovecot
 units are down, or is this a manual change in config to prevent any
 time-out conditions?

Not natively.  When we initially implemented this setup, ifstated wasn't
up to snuff, so we wrote some PERL scripts that make connections to the
required ports and, if no connection is established, pull the server
from the table and send us an alarm.  We also have scripts so that we
can pull servers out when we're doing maintenance.
 
 I like this load balancer idea. In my environment, it would be trivial
 to set up a couple of them, throw Quagga on them, and integrate them
 directly into our iBGP setup. On the other side, I could use VRRP or
 the
 like to ensure redundancy from front to back.

We use two PF boxes and CARP with PFSync for failover, so no dynamic
protocols are needed.  
 
 - do the Postfix/Dovecot servers communicate with each other, or are
 they simply stand-alone units that don't know/care that they have
other
 peers helping with the workload?
 
They are standalone.  All of the user authentication is handled from a
centralized database, so there are no local credentials stored on the
server.  

 - are your filter servers in front of, or behind the load balancers
 (iow, is all of your inbound email passed through the balancers, and
 then filtered/processed/delivered in behind them)?


They are behind the PF boxes.  We have other hooks in PF that we use to
block SPAM in PF, including Cloudmark and some custom stuff that looks
for multiple mails to non-existent addresses.  We also use the overload
tables for abusive connections.
 
 - how do all of the pieces communicate with the NAS...NFS?

Yes.  Originally we used TCP but we found performance to be much better
with UDP.  NFSv3 by the way.
 
 - could you share a small snip of your PF config in relation to
 load-balancing, so I can get a bit of a better understanding config-
 wise
 on how that piece hangs together? (I've never used PF, only IFPW ;)

That might be difficult because it's about 720 lines.  :-)  Here are
some highlights, though.

1) Our customers use mail.adhost.com for everything - SMTP, POP and
IMAP.  We use redirects in PF so that traffic coming in on the
associated ports goes to the appropriate servers.
2) We have our load-balanced DNS servers behind the same PF boxes so we
localize the tons of DNS queries related to mail.
3) We do a lot of our rejecting in PF, including Spamhaus, Cloudmark,
check scripts for Phishing, Porn and Viruses, as well as our own list of
Nefarious IP's culled from various sources.  When traffic matches
these originators, we send them to mail reject servers that send out a
550 message with the group name so we can find false positives more
quickly.
4) Because 3 does have false positives, we have a whitelist that we can
add to that will pass traffic to the mail servers before they match
against any of the tables in 3.
5) We use POP before SMTP, so once we authenticate a user to send, their
IP address is also added to an allow table.
6) The filter servers are load balanced to and from the mail servers so
we can take them in and out of their pool for maintenance.

If you have a particular scenario you're thinking about I could help you
with the rules to make it work.

Regards,

Mike

  you can lose a small amount of data if one of the mail stores goes
 bang at
  precisely the wrong moment.  Even so, it will do better at keeping
 multiple
  copies of a mailstore in synch than any locally scripted rsync
setup.
 
 This is *EXACTLY* what I was looking for!
 
 The possibility of loosing an extremely small amount of data far
 outweighs the possibility of a multi-hour outage where 3,000 users are
 receiving can't reach the POP3 server errors.
 
 Besides, our incoming SMTP gateway boxes cache all incoming email for
 24
 hours, and we can re-deliver any message to the back-end we wish
during
 that window.
 
 I really try my best to design/implement all the systems I can like
our
 networks... multiple paths and extremely quick convergence. Being able
 to take a box down to test/perform an upgrade, or during a failure
 without client impact is well worth any initial large learning curve
 imho.

2009-06-10 Thread dhaneshk k

List members;

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/geom-glabel.html

Starting with FreeBSD 7.2, the glabel(8) class
supports a new label type for UFS file
systems, based on the unique file system id, ufsid.

Is the above clause  applicable in this case ? instead of using  tunefs  -L 

can we use#  glabel status  ?

and can use the ufsid labels   of  /dev/ufsid/and  edit  /etc/fstab entries

 Subject: glabel(8) a gmirror(8) doesn't work
 
 Hello community,
 
  Yesterday I have installed FBSD 7.2-RELEASE. I have installed on a mirror
 created with gmirror(8). All I have modified on this system is that I have
 updated the sources, rebuild the world and kernel and of course install.
 
  I have named the mirror system0 and all worked well. Now the problem
 is that i want to glabel the partitions on the mirror so i have followed the
 following
 procedure:
 1. reboot to single user
 2. mount -a
 3. tunefs -L var /dev/mirror/system0s1d
 This commands exits with Failed to write superblock.
 
  After reading the man of gmirrror(8) and glabel(8) i have noticed that both
 of them
 store metadata on the last sector of the provider. From this results that
 what I want
 to do is not possible, at least my logic tells me that. Since gmirror wrote
 metadata
 to the last sector of the provider, glabel tries to rewrite it and the
 system stops the
 process to protect the filesystem. But then again for gmirror the providers
 are
 the two hdd i use for mirroring and for glabel the provider is the mirror
 itself. That's
 again what my logic tells me. So i think there is some kind of separation
 between the
 two modules and things should work.
 
  I have searched a bit but couldn't find any relevant info on labeling a
 mirror. I just
 want to know if this is possible and if it's not I'd like to understand why.
 
 Labeling a partition is not a must-have but it's sure nice :).
 
 thanks,

Problems with IPv6 CARP Interface in PF

2009-05-27 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
Hello:

I'm having reachability problems with a CARP interface set up on two 7.1
boxes with an uplink to Cisco routers.  However, the inside CARP address
on the same set of PF boxes are reachable with no trouble.  Here's the
config.

Cisco   Cisco
   HSRP Gateway
|
   CARP Interface 1
PF Box   PF Box
   CARP Interface 2
|
  Server

When I try to ping CARP Interface 1 above from the Internet, I get no
response.  When I ping the CARP Interface 2, which has a route set from
the Cisco's to CARP Interface 1, it works.  Here's what I see in my
logs.

... with no response.

Here is the ifconfig from one box.

carp0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING metric 0 mtu 1500

carp: MASTER vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 100

and the other shows appropriately as BACKUP.  There is no change if I
run with just one PF box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: esxi and freebsd vlans

2009-04-20 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
Hello Sebastian:


Hi,

I ran into the ESXi limit of 4 NICs per VM, so I figured I would work 
around this using FreeBSD's vlan devices.

I made 2 test installs with the following interface configuration:

test1:
ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan create
ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev
em0

test2:
ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan create
ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev
em0

I can ping the other machine using the 10.10.10.x IP address no problem,

but the 192.168.1.x addresses don't work. I've tried setting the vlan id

on the vSwitch to none and to 22, but in neither of the two cases does 
it work.


[Michael K. Smith - Adhost] 

You will need to make sure the switchport facing your server is set to
802.1Q trunk and has VLAN 22 allowed.  The IP address on em0 itself is
untagged so it will work regardless of the port settings on the
switch. VLAN 22 has the 4-byte header attached so the other side has to
recognize the tag.

WireLess USB modem not detected .

2009-03-29 Thread dhaneshk k

List;
 
when I attach a USB modem , I am seeing this message  in dmesg output  on 
FreeBSD6.2 
 
ugen0: Qualcomm, Incorporated Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, rev 1.10/0.00, 
addr 2

But it not showing  /dev/ in dmesg   why ?


If it detected what will be the entry in /dev/?


 
Question1)  Can  this USB wireless modem will work with FreeBSD6.2 ? if not  
with a any other  FreeBSD  version by default?

in FreeBSD-6.2 to enable this USB data card, is it needed to recompile the 
Generic kernel? if so  which patch to add  for recompilation ?


 
Question 2) To use this modem to get  wireless connection   which steps I have 
to follow further more..


 Please help me with some tips to make it work in my FreeBSD Laptop.
 
Thanks in Advance
Dhanesh

RE: first firewall with pf

2009-03-26 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
Hello Eric:


Hi everyone,

Can you provide a little more information about your topology?  Right now, you 
only have one interface defined in your rules, but you are attempting to pass 
traffic between two subnets.  That would suggest you have two interfaces and, 
if so, both need to be accounted for in your rules below.  You'll have to have 
pass/block rules for both.  It looks like this:

172.16.0.0/16 - le0 firewall - (some other interface) - 10.0.0.0

Could you tell me if that is correct?

Thanks,

Mike

- Original Message Snipped -
Thanks for all your input so far. I have tried to implement all you suggestions 
but have gotten stuck. I set up a test machine in the office with the ip 
10.0.0.110  and encountered the following problems:

when I enables antispoofing the firewall didn't work 

when I tried allowing the 10.0.0.0 subnet it worked ok but when i tried 
connecting from machines on the 172.16 subnet I was unable to connect. 

Can you please let me know what I'm doing wrong?

I also forgot to mention:

You should probably log your block rule so that you can see what's going on if 
things don't work as expected.

So:

block in log on $ext_if

Note the lack of quick as well, as previously mentioned.

With logging enabled, provided you have pflog running (which you should), you 
can use the following to see what's being blocked.

tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0  (provided pflog0 is your pflog interface).

Flash9 and FreeBSD7.0 isssue

2009-02-05 Thread dhaneshk k

Hi  list, 


 I followed  http://freebsd.langhans.com.pl/af/index.html

To enable  flash9   support for FreeBSD7.0




I  installed FreeBSD7.0 with Linux compatibility

so the first step (1.3 ) I skipped   



second step I followed and installed  latestfirefox-devel


then I installed nspluginwrapper



next step I downloaded this  
ftp://greyone.tulatelecom.ru/pub/linux/adobe/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz

from this link 
http://www.filewatcher.com/m/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz.2608602.0.0.html
  as adobe.com not allowing me to download it.


then I untarred itand copied  libflashplayer.so  to   
~/.mozilla/plugins  ( I created plugins directory as there is no
default plugins directory  in  ~/.mozilla/
  and I invoked the nspluginwrapper $ nspluginwrapper  -v -a -i 
and  observed that it created nswrapper.libflashplayer.so   



but   $  nspluginwrapper -l  given me  the   the message  segmentation 
fault  core dumped   sig 11 

what I made wrong ?


 I tried to restart  the firefox and   it restarted and showing message  you 
updated to the latest fiefox version .


but when I accessed the   http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/   URL I am 
getting message in the   console as

Re: Steps to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE

2009-01-29 Thread k...@snaffler.net

here is howto rebuild you system via cvs

dump this into a file

---8

*default host=cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all

---8

add these lines to /etc/make.conf

SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUPFILE=   file u just created

then

cd /usr/src
make update  make buildworls  make buildkernel  make installkernel

( if you are multicore do a -j 8 or something on the build lines, 
anything upto 32 should build ok )


reboot

cd /usr/src
mergmaster -p
make installworld
mergmaster

reboot

i theory tou should rebuild all your ports now as well, but generally i 
never both and havent had trouble


if you dont have anything in /usr/src or dont have one just install the 
base src distribution from sysinstall


or

download install.sh, sbase.aa, sbase.inf from you favorite freebsd 
mirror and do a


./install.sh base

eg mine is here

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.1-RELEASE/src/

csup -g -L 1 -h cvs#.cc.freebsd.org
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile

i.e: cvs17.us.freebsd.org

This will update to your uname -r latest patchlevel.  Copy and replace (for
you): RELENG_7_0 with RELENG_7_1 to get the latest patchlevel for 7.1


Original doc seems either replaced by the freebsd-update method (while
excellent, there are a few things that CVS really triumphs on).

csup is part of base.

I'd be glad to help you through.  The canonical update method is still
listed in the handbook (SS. 24.7.1) used after retrieving the sources.



Thank you Tim for the answers! So far I have used freebsd-update to
apply updates. I seem to recall that it is never good to mix the two
systems (freebsd-updates and csup) to avoid trouble. Is that true?

Also, the documentation you mention (24.7.1) says this:

After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single
user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt).

How can this be done with a remote machine?

  
NO without serial access or some kind of ALOM card eg DELL DRAC CARD, as 
you will have no ip up

I have done that many times without hitch but would never recommend it 
on a production box even though i have never seen an issue in real world 
situations.


Note the mergemaster -p should be done before the installword as it 
sometimes add new accounts and things that the installworld needs to 
complete.

check the end of bw
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN bk
check what's in bk

i redirect output to save the bandwidth and traffic
stop as many thing as i can stop

make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN
make installworld iw

check what's in iw

mergemaster -p
mergemaster

disable everything in /local/etc/rc.d and as many as possible in rc.conf

shutdown -r now

and then it's up and it's a new version!

as i said - it never failed!

Issues with PF and 7.1

2009-01-22 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
** Apologies to folks already subscribed to p...@freebsd.org.  This was posted 
there as well but I'm not getting any responses at all so I thought it best to 
post it here as well. **


We are having memory issues with PF and 7.1p2 that we didn't experience with 
6.3.   Here's what happens.

# pfctl -f /usr/local/etc/pf.conf
/usr/local/etc/pf.conf:135: cannot define table smtpd_reject_policyd: Cannot 
allocate memory
/usr/local/etc/pf.conf:139: cannot define table smtpd_reject_spam: Cannot 
allocate memory
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded
# pfctl -t smtpd_reject_policyd -T flush
94390 addresses deleted.
# pfctl -t smtpd_reject_spam -T flush
62464 addresses deleted.
# pfctl -f /usr/local/etc/pf.conf

So, after I flush the tables it loads.  Sometimes, however, we get a global out 
of memory error  DIOCADDRULE: Cannot allocate memory 

Here are my entries from pf.conf for various limits.  Everything else is 
defaults.

set limit tables 500
set limit table-entries 25
set limit { states 100, src-nodes 30, frags 10 }
set optimization normal
set skip on lo0
set state-policy if-bound
set timeout interval 300
set timeout src.track 1200

Finally, the box is using EM interfaces with VLAN's and has 4 Gig of physical 
RAM.  There are two PF boxes in Active/Failover and the errors show up on both, 
although they seem to show up more often on the Backup device, which seems odd.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Regards,

Mike

Either radeon or radeonhd should be fine.  Feature-wise, they are at the same 
level.  No other changes are required.

Very recently DRM support was added for those cards, giving them much faster

support as well.  Unfortunately, this is limited to linux at the moment, but I

 IIRC, it was related to having to use a more recent Xorg and MesaGL
 for the latest changes to work.  As soon as the ports freeze is over,
 I assume they would get merged in.

We're talking about the kernel modules here, not Xorg and Mesa.  The DRM
is necessary for EXA and Xv (as well as an updated DDX).  And based on
the conversations between Robert and the Linux/ATI folks, it is not as
simple as merging the changes in.  The new gart support necessary for
r600/r700 cards, for example, is completely linux specific, as I
understand it.

 I'm also hoping to see support for DRI and Xv and even 3D in RV780
 chipsets soon, esp. now that AMD has finally decided to release the
 RV600/700 specs to the public:
 
 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=amd_r600_oss_3dnum=1
 
 -cpghost.


The specs are not yet available.  The only thing newly available is the
DRM and updated DDX.  The specs be available as soon as they finish
sanitizing the documents and get approval.  This will hopefully be
soon. :-)

which package I needed to do  that ?   system-config-printer  right  ?

NOTE :I am not trying to attach a new printer to FreeBSD just want to access an 
already working printer in our LAN


I
installed   system-config-printer from ports , but whenever I tried
to do   $system-config-printer, one blank dialog window blinks
away , the in the tty I am getting this error ..

Re: How can I link two separate internal networks to two separate external networks

2008-12-22 Thread Michael K. Smith
Hello Geoff:


On 12/22/08 4:06 AM, Geoff Roberts ge...@apro.com.au wrote:

 Hi,
 
 I have a FreeBSD 7.0 box with pf.
 
 I have two internal networks (intnet0 and intnet1) and two internal networks
 (extnet0 and extnet1).
 
 extnet0 and extnet1 are two different gateways to the internet.
 
 I only have one physical internal (int0) and one physical external (ext0)
 interface.
 
 Traffic from intnet0 needs to go out on extnet0
 
 Traffic from intnet1 needs to go out on extnet1 (consider this a default route
 for any traffic not going out on extnet0).
 
 What are some suggested ways of doing this?
 
 Assume addresses are (these are made up, but hopefully help paint the
 picture):
 
 intnet0 - 192.168.50.0/24
 extnet0 - 10.10.10.8/30
  - extnet0 address 10.10.10.8.10
  - default route 10.10.10.9
  - broadcast 10.10.10.11
 
 intnet1 - 192.168.60.0/24
 extnet1 - 10.10.10.12/30
  - extnet1 address 10.10.10.14
  - default route 10.10.10.13
  - broadcast 10.10.10.15
 
 So far I have created vlans via a switch on each interface to multiplex the
 connections:
 
 vlan10 - 192.168.50.0/24 and vlan20 - 192.168.60.0/24 come in on a single
 cable to int0.
 
 vlan50 - 10.10.10.8/30 and vlan60 - 10.10.10.12/30 come in on a single cable
 to ext0.
 
 However, since I have the defaultroute set for 10.10.10.13 all traffic from
 intnet0 is going out on vlan60 whereas i want it to go out on vlan50.
 
 Am I going about this the wrong way?
 
I think this will work.  Let's assume:

$vlan10_if - macro for your tagged VLAN 10 interface
$vlan20_if - macro for your tagged VLAN 20 interface
$vlan50_if - macro for your tagged VLAN 50 interface
$vlan60_if - macro for your tagged VLAN 60 interface
$vlan50_gw = 10.10.10.9
$vlan60_gw = 10.10.10.13

pass in on $vlan10_if route-to ($vlan50_if $vlan50_gw) from any to any
pass in on $vlan20_if route-to ($vlan60_if $vlan60_gw) from any to any

That would be in conjunction with your NAT's and any RDR's as well.

Regards,

Mike

GIANT_LOCK in release7.0

2008-11-25 Thread Alexander K. Beros


I have not been able to find any discussion of the following issue.  Ever
since I upgraded to release 7.0, whenever I print to my network printer (I
am using Samba) I get the following output to ttyv0:

lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]

... this can continue for a very long time depending on the size of the
queue

The actual printing is fine, and since I am rarely at the terminal it isn't
a serious problem.  In fact, if I am working at the server and someone else
is sending jobs to the printer I switch over to ttyv1, so there is really no
inconvenience.

On the other hand, I thought that release 7 is GIANT_LOCK free, so this is
rather unexpected.  I would appreciate any information or explanation.

In the printout below, you will note SMALLKERNEL7, this is just a paring
down of the generic kernel to tailor it to my system.  The behaviour I
discuss above occurs with the default kernel as well.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Alex Beros

RTFM. Specifically look at the -C option.

Or you could do it the simple way (note parenthesis, the cd only applies
within the parenthesis, when the command clompletes your shell is back
to the original directory):

(cd /var/web/data/verion/cc.html ; tar -cvf /html.tar * )
(cd /var/web/data/root/cc.html   ; tar -xvf /html.tar   )

The above does not store the path prefix in the tar archive, which is
perhaps the problem you were trying to solve?

Re: updating from 6.3 to 7, mirror problems

2008-11-03 Thread (-K JohnNy
 Ok I see. How do I update from 6.3 STABLE to 7.0 STABLE ? I imagine there
 is a tool for that? Short of down loading the iso files and doing it from
 discs.

Don't know if there is a tool for this, but the usual way is to make a
RELENG-7 supfile, csup the 7-STABLE sources  and build them. More on
this subject in the handbook.

Re: raid tool

2008-11-03 Thread (-K JohnNy
 Thanks for this. I was looking at ZFS and I am impress with what I read, 
 unfortunately no AMD 64 and I only have 1Gig Ram.

I can tell you I'm using ZFS on an i386 desktop with 1 GB RAM and it
is working flawlessly after some tuning, more specifically:

# For ZFS
vm.kmem_size=521M
vm.kmem_size_max=512M
vfs.zfs.arc_min=16M
vfs.zfs.arc_max=64M
vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size=5M
vfs.zfs.debug=1
vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1

in /boot/loader.conf.local

Today it finished the compilation openoffice.org-alllangs-3.0.0
successfully (after 1 day and 14:42:21). Before tuning the options
I have, there were some problems and the machine used to hang after
some 3 or 4 hours of compilation but from the moment I added the
options on I didn't have a single crash of the machine.
So maybe you could still give it a try...? (-;

 Thanks again.

Re: Is KDE4 usable on FreeBSD?

2008-11-02 Thread (-K JohnNy
 the question should be Is KDE usable at all on any OS?
 the answer is no, it's crappy imitation of windoze.
 
 If someone needs windoze like soft, just buy windows vista.
 
 For someone who need unix, FreeBSD is a good choice.
I have to quote some random shoutbox I§vre read a long time ago:
Narrow-minded is the only opinion worth expressing.

You have to realize that this is the question of every user's
individual needs. Some users, like for example yourself, like going
deep, using the shell for tasks from everyday life, some users are
more GUI-oriented and like somewhat more graphic approach to the same
tasks.

Saying that some software is crap just because it distantly resembles
some other soft and everybody using the soft you're criticizing should
use the other one instead, is just... Stupid. Even more if you compare
a desktop environment to a whole OS.

So, please, stop forcing your opinions to others and let them choose
for themselves. (-;

Re: CUPS wont print inside GNOME

2008-10-31 Thread (-K JohnNy
 I find it kind of self defeating for the ports if you HAVE to add stuff to 
 the /etc/make.conf file for it to work without any documentation telling you 
 to do so or not doing it automatically (Like PERL did) 
On the other hand, some of us, like myself, find it a bit...
Arrogant? ...if some port touches your system config files without
asking. And simply printing it on the output at the end of
installation isn't enough since it might get lost if an other port is
built right after the one printing out the message. I don't know if
there is an optimal way...

RE: I've just found a new and interesting spam source - legitimatebounce messages

2008-10-20 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
 The term coined for this type of mail is backscatter.
 
 There is no easy solution for this.  The backscatter article on
 postfix.org, for example, caused our mail servers to start rejecting
 mail that was generated from PHP scripts and CGIs on our own systems,
 which makes no sense.  The article:
 
 http://www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html
 
 If the backscatter is all directed to a single Email address (rather
 than a series of addresses, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
 you have [EMAIL PROTECTED] accepted), then a solution is to reject
 mail with an RCPT TO of an account or virtual address that does not
 exist on your machine.
 
 This, of course, has a wonderful side effect: spammers now have a way to
 detect what Email addresses on your box legitimately accept mail, thus
 once they find one which never gets a bounceback, will start pounding
 that address to kingdom come.
 
 Let me know if you do find a reliable, decent solution that does not
 involve SPF or postfix header_checks or body_checks.
 

The following doesn't fix the problem but it does help mitigate the deluge.  We 
use a PERL script to tail our maillogs looking for any source IP that tries to 
send mail to more than 4 invalid addresses.  When flagged, that IP is then 
added to a PF table that blocks the address and issues RST's for 12 hours.  Of 
course, we also have a whitelist for valid SMTP servers.  Like I said, it 
doesn't catch it all, but it catches *a lot* and generates almost no 
complaints.  This does help obfuscate the valid/invalid addresses because all 
mail is accepted as far as the sender is concerned until the IP is blocked at 
the network layer.  

The usual complaint is from an remote office that has 12 real estate agents

 Can you explain what the problem is?

Sorry it took so long to reply.  We actually got the issue resolved, but I
wanted to make sure our fix actually worked.  Here is what the
problem/solution is.

The problem was significant packet loss and connectivity issue to and
through the PF server.  Even pinging the loopback address on the server
itself was returning 4 ms times.

The problem was a very busy NFS server with clients on the same VLAN, but on
a different subnet.  So, we had a VLAN interface on em1 that had two address
ranges attached, 10.255.0.0/16 and 10.212.6.0/16.  The NFS server was on the
10.255 and the clients were on the 10.212.

Even though they were on the same VLAN, they weren't directly ARP'able, so
all traffic (400 - 600 Mb/sec) between them had to be processed by the
server.  When we moved the clients on to the same subnet as the server,
everything stabilized.

I think this was an issue of bad design on my part.

Regards,

Mike

Problem with Passive FTP through PF

2008-10-06 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
Hello All:

We are running the following:
- FreeBSD 6.3 Release #1
- PF
- pftpx for our ftp proxy

We have several ftp servers of different flavors behind the PF firewalls and we 
are getting a lot of the following when users are trying to connect using 
passive mode.

Server sent passive reply with unroutable address

We're running pftpx as a daemon with no specific flags.  From a ps:

proxy 4845  0.0  0.0  1452  1100  ??  Is   27Sep08   0:02.13 
/usr/local/sbin/pftpx

Here is a sample of the rules we are using to allow traffic and to proxy.  The 
server macros are defined and working correctly.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

 want to reject legitimate RST packets.
  Thanks in advance for any clues!

Well, just to clarify a bit, the RST packets aren't the ones you are
getting. You are apparently getting port-scanned. The message just
says it won't reply by an RST packet to a SYN going to a closed port
more than 200 times per second.

I would suggest ignoring all SYN packets going to closed ports.
Haven't yet used pf though, so I can't say how exactly to do this.

Re: package info is corrupt

 What now? I tried to deinstall one of them, but no luck:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/db/pkg/gtkmm-2.12.7]# pkg_deinstall gtkmm
 ** No matching package found.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/db/pkg/gtkmm-2.12.7]# 

To deinstall a package, you have to pass the whole package name with
the version string included to pkg_delete or pkg_deinstall, or you
have the option to use a wildcard, e. g.

pkg_deinstall gtkmm-2.12.7
pkg_deinstall gtkmm\*

But I'd recommend the first possibility over the second one since the
second one would also deinstall any other versions possibly present on
your system, which is possible since your installed packages are
somehow corrupt.

RE: ipv6

2008-09-22 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
 
 Excuse me for jumping in on this thread, I'm only just starting to look
 into IPv6 for myself.
 
 My ISP has informed me that it doesn't support IPv6 yet, and won't for
 some time. I have a DNS server and sites on IPv4, but I'd like to be
 able to support IPv6- does the fact that my ISP doesn't support it stop
 me from serving on IPv6? I'd think it does, but some clarity from
 experts might help...

Hi,

I am trying to redirect a URL request to a different address 
but it appears 
that /etc/hosts is not doing the job.  Example:

127.0.0.1  google.com

The way I understand it is that by typing google.com in a web 
browser it 
should result in the local page being displayed.  It instead 
goes to the 
proper Google page.  

`ping google.com' actually pings 127.0.0.1 but `host google' 
returns the 
actual IP addresses for google.  

/etc/nsswitch.conf has `hosts: files dns' and host.conf has 
`hosts\n dns'

Any idea why the system calls are not honouring /etc/hosts?

Regards

David

man host shows that the host utility is specifically for DNS-resolved lookups 
and looks at /etc/resolv.conf, not /etc/hosts

 I realize that this is primarily a tech support forum. I wasn't
 asking for a solution to the problem.  I was asking for other peoples 
 experiences. If the USB support in FreeBSD was spotty according to
 other people, as has been reported, then I plan to not even try to
 work on it more until I install 7.1.
 
 Just for the record:
 
 - crashes the system on attachment
 - crashes the system on detachment
 - the system hangs on attachment but resumes responding if you pull
 the drive
 - installing the drive results in the little blue light coming on
 with dmesg reporting attachment, but attempts to mount fail with
 device not configured or somesuch
 - dataloss on the device that chkdisk in DOS couldn't save
 
 Basically, every possible bad behavior that you could ask from a USB 
 connected drive has happened to me over time as I keep coming back
 and trying USB drives.  That's OK.  I'm not upset.  I'm not
 complaining.  I just want to know what to expect from USB drives in
 FreeBSD.

That sounds familiar, but I guess most USB storage devices are very
similar, so maybe start looking at the USB controller. I know in my
case, installing a PCI USB card with _NEC_ chipset solved all my
problems. Thought it worth mentioning ...

spotted a mention to a disabled n in a recent thread: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-June/176638.html. 
Is there a handy way to do this so that it could be re-enabled once iwn

use the 802.11abg driver wpi.
