'freebsd-update upgrade' hosed system - rescuable?
I just updated to 8.0-RELEASE with freebsd-update. I ran: # freebsd-update -r 8.0-RELEASE upgrade merge config files # freebsd-update install I was told to reboot and run freebsd-update install again to complete the process. I rebooted into single user mode, mounted /usr and /var and somehow forgot to mount / as read-write. Of course, freebsd-update didn't check to see if it could actually write to all the directories it needed to write to first and catastrophically wrote half an upgrade (which it now appears to have deleted the source files for) and has broken my system (most of the stuff in /usr/bin now depends on libraries in /lib that were never written). What's the quickest and cleanest way out of this mess? I'll submit a PR if my system ever comes back up.

binat problem with jail loopback addresses
Hi.
I'm trying to set up a jail running on a loopback IP connected to the
outside world with pf and binat.
My interfaces are configured like this:
ifconfig lo1 inet 127.1.0.1 netmask 0xff00 up
ifconfig lo1 alias 127.1.0.2 netmask 0xff00
ifconfig lo1 alias 127.1.0.3 netmask 0xff00
ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.2.5 netmask 0xff00 up
ifconfig fxp0 alias 192.168.2.9 netmask 0xff00
$ jls
JID IP Address Hostname Path
5 127.1.0.3 wwwproxy /usr/jail/wwwproxy
The idea is to have wwwproxy running on 127.1.0.3, with an externally
visible IP of 192.168.2.9 using pf binat.
Now, I have a pf ruleset like this:
#--#
nic0 = fxp0
lo0 = lo0
lo1 = lo1
dns = 192.168.3.10
me = 192.168.2.5
wwwproxy = 127.1.0.3
wwwproxy_e = 192.168.2.9
table net_priv { 192.168.2.0/24 }
table net_dmz { 192.168.3.0/24 }
table proxy_users { $me, $wwwproxy_e }
#--#
binat on $nic0 from $wwwproxy to any - $wwwproxy_e
#--#
block in log all
block out log all
# allow loopback
pass log quick on $lo0 from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 modulate state
# allow wwwproxy to connect out and allow some connections in
pass out log quick proto udp from $wwwproxy_e to $dns port 53 keep state
pass out log quick proto tcp from $wwwproxy_e to any modulate state
pass in log quick proto tcp from proxy_users to $wwwproxy_e port
8080 modulate state
# allow me to connect out
pass out log quick on $nic0 proto udp from $me to any keep state
pass out log quick on $nic0 proto tcp from $me to any modulate state
#--#
I have an HTTP proxy running inside the jail:
$ netstat -f inet -na
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address(state)
tcp4 0 0 127.1.0.3.8080 *.*LISTEN
Inside the jail, I can connect to external sites:
wwwproxy% nc -z -v www.google.com 80
Connection to www.google.com 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
00 rule 8/0(match): pass out on fxp0: 192.168.2.9.62735
192.168.3.10.53: UDP, length 32
001253 rule 8/0(match): pass out on fxp0: 192.168.2.9.61723
192.168.3.10.53: UDP, length 32
000955 rule 9/0(match): pass out on fxp0: 192.168.2.9.64134
66.249.91.104.80: tcp 0
Outside the jail (on the host machine), however, I cannot connect to the HTTP
proxy, despite pflog showing the connection being allowed:
$ nc -z -v 192.168.2.9 8080
nc: connect to 192.168.2.9 port 8080 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
3. 680214 rule 9/0(match): pass out on lo0: 192.168.2.9.60606
192.168.2.9.8080: tcp 0
60 rule 10/0(match): pass in on lo0: 192.168.2.9.60606
192.168.2.9.8080: tcp 0
It appears that binat isn't actually doing what I think it should (a connection
to 192.168.2.9:8080 should connect to 127.1.0.3:8080).
What am I doing wrong?

I suppose the problem is that matlab is a Linux binary and matlab is running in Linux ABI mode, but the compiler is compiling to FreeBSD native, or something?

Re: Explaining FreeBSD features
Ah, but help on who's terms? Telling a newbie to RTFM for an answer that he asks which is in the manual IS help. Yes, it is help. But how dumb does a person have to be if this is of real help? If they were like ultra-newbie, they might not even know how to access the manual, but this is improbable. The idea is, the newbie gets repeatedly told RTFM, so that eventually they get the idea that they must work it out for themselves because they develop this inner fear of asking for help and being ridiculed, ie they don't want to portray themselves as a lamer. Usually it works. Sometimes there are people who will spout RTFM willy-nilly. I have witnessed on several occassions (not on this list) of people spouting RTFM when the manual in question did not contain the answer to the question asked at all, thereby backfiring on the RTFM spouter and resulting in self-ridicule. In such cases I believe that the spouter has some self-esteem problem and likes to newbie-bash, or just hazards a guess that the answer must be in the manual and automatically spouts RTFM. So the question bearer should state whether they have read the manual first. Then if it turns out that the answer is in the manual, they shall be ridiculed, resulting in them hopefully being much more careful next time when they read the manual. Sometimes people ask simple questions, the answer is in the manual, but reading the manual to find the answer is akin to reading a book to discover how many pages it has. In such cases one feels that the information asked should be somewhere else, not buried in a big manual. It may be more useful in such cases to just answer the question so it ends up in the mailing archive and comes up when someone searches for it. cali ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Explaining FreeBSD features
I'm not watching the entire thread, so what I write below may seem a bit out of context. On the other hand, this particular post shows some of the few points I don't like about a stream of RTFM responses. You seem to overvalue ridicule, IMHO. I was trying to illustrate the ridicule case rather than explicitly advocate it, but perhaps I came across as being too strong of an advocate. I'm assuming that the ridicule approach does work sometimes, personally I think it worked for me to some extent. There is also the silent-ridicule approach, where it is not necessary to explicity ridicule the question bearer, under the assumption that the question bearer will eventually become self-aware of what is ridiculous, and hence self-ridicule and scutinise prior to posting. Clearly in some cases the ridicule approach can be an effective primer for this state of mind. The ridicule approach may not be the most effective primer. In many cases the ridicule will result in an increase in frustration and possibly a reduction in the users capacity to work the answer out for themselves. I think, that really only questions, whose answers cannot readily be found elsewhere, should be asked on this list. Part of the question-bearers education, whether that be from the list, or from other documentation, should result in the installation of the the solve-it-yourself mindset in their head. So that they are more tentative in their approach to asking questions, they should also become better problem solvers and FreeBSD users as a consequence of having to think for themselves. Part of the FreeBSD education should consist of informing the user how they can help themselves, and how they should seek help in the event that the self-help fails. If that education scheme was effectively employed, perhaps there wouldn't be as many stupid questions. But then again, perhaps this is the education, the self-realisation of this information without it explicitly being enumerated in some accesible form.

Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
I've tried installing Matlab 13 on FBSD5.3 according to the handbook but I can't get it to work. This is pretty annoying since it cost a lot of money. I was really stupid, in that, I had a years technical support from Mathwords, but kind of gave up because their suggestions got me nowhere and it was quicker just to use a pirated copy on windows than follow their suggestions when really that was the perfect opportunity to continually badger them; since I was paying for it they were obliged to respond... The problem is the license manager as far as I can tell, I can't seem to get it to start. OK, there are a lot of different pieces of information I could post at this point, but I'm not sure which are most relevant. So, first of all, I think a sensible question I should ask is this: Has anyone on this list got Matlab 13 (aka 6.5) running on FBSD5.3? If so, did you do this by following the instructions in the handbook verbatim, or some other way? thanks cali ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
I just got it to work, thanks to the encouragement of Santo Natale. One thing is the architechture, to fix this you can edit the matlab binary, which is actually a script gvim /usr/local/bin/matlab or whatever if you read down you will see some stuff about ARCH_LIST go down below the fucntion check_archlist and at the bottom of it you will see two conditionals that say: ARCH= change these to ARCH=glnx86 or whatever your architechture is (it might be that you only need to change one, but this isn't important) Then another thing to make sure is that your hostname is set the same as the SERVER line in your matlab license manager file so if my hostname was dork, then it would say SERVER dork ID=XXX where you replace XXX with your user ID you also have to make sure that you setup your options file properly in your license file you should have a line like: DAEMON MLM /compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/etc/lm_matlab options=/compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/etc/MLM.opt and in MLM.opt it needs to say: INCLUDE MATLAB USER blah where blah is your user, note that I'm assuming you have a standalone license make sure you leave a blank line after the INCLUDE line, I know, sounds dumb but otherwise it doesn't work. then you just start the flexlm (not as root) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/flexlm.sh start and then start matlab underthe user you were configured for matlab and it should work... well I only just got it working so hopefully everything works. thanks cali ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It really is a demon/devil, and FreeBSD is forged in the depths of hell itself. In fact FreeBSD really stands for Free(Burning Soul Destruction). Isn't it suspicious that FreeBSD is so stable? Ever taken a close look at the kernel source? What do you think all those modulo 666 operations are for? Devil worship, thats what, downright devil worship! Don't worry about this, but exactly 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes after install, the system starts changing, you must type in a special mantra 6 times a day and commit at least one inhumane act and/or sacrifice per week, otherwise unstability ensues.

Re: My computer keeps crashing
This sure smells like a hardware problem. I think the problem might be due to my bios settings running the CPU to fast although I do not think I am overclocking it. This might explain the strange timing of the problem, maybe the motherboard is unstable. If you are not explicitly overclocking, the BIOS should be smart enough to run the cpu at or below its rated speed. Time to start checking the hardware. Here is what I would do. Check for stability after each step. 1. Wiggle Giggle: Reseat all cables, cards and RAM. Inspect CPU cooling. My Zalman cooler has an adjustable speed, at the moment it is on low, so I can turn this up to test it, I can also take off the side panel and so on. If I can get the CPU temperature monitor working then I can find out whereabouts it becomes unstable. 2. Turn off ACPI in BIOS. (someone correct me if I am crazy, I recall ACPI being problematic) Look for other weirdo BIOS settings. I don't think it is ACPI, I've had ACPI problems before but they always occurred only when booting from a freebsd installation. But I don't know enough about ACPI in FreeBSD to rule it out however. 3. Underclock CPU. (I did once get a bum CPU that was not stable at its rated speed and produced similar problems. Unlikely, but possible.) As mentioned in another reply, I ran the program on underclocked CPU last night and it is still running whereas with the CPU on its rated speed crashing was happening quite fast. I think the temperature hypothesis seems intuitively most reasonable and is the one I will test first. Of course, running the CPU at it's rated speed will presumably draw more voltage, this could then have compilated affects on other components, or could cause a PSU problem to manifest, I don't know but it seems like a reasonable hypothesis. 4. Swap in new RAM or run memtest86 5. Get rid of all peripherals, re-attach one at a time if this clears it up 6. Swap in new power supply (with that nice Antec this is unlikely... but not impossible... and a bad PSU can cause all KINDS of weirdness.) I'm going to try temperature first, but if that doesn't work, I'll try as many of these other things as I can.

Re: My computer keeps crashing
Sometimes when I run CPU intensive applications the system will crash at seemingly unpredictable times, I have to hard reset the machine as it is completely unresponsive, I was running an experiment in console mode and it showed me the kernel panic: With those uptimes I would say your heat sink and fan(hsf) is to blame. The old idea about amds running hot is kind of crap, any cpu will run hot if not installed correctly or overclocked. You got that white stuff between the cpu and hsf? I think I recall putting the white stuff in. I checked your hsf on the net and in silent mode it does not support your cpu speed, though it does in normal higher speed fan mode. If you have the fan make sure to keep it in normal mode or it may bake your cpu! http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=33code=005009010 Damn! I should have researched this properly when I bought the heatsink. Thanks for that information, I'm lucky that you noticed this. Try this command several times after you boot. Then after you boot your box do it while under load. sysctl -a|grep thermal That will tell you your cpu temp, you'll need acpi on. If you did not put the hsf on right it will go up and you get problems like after 5 minutes or less. I set my bios heat alarm to go off and set a shutdown temp too. You might want to check that stuff out in your bios too. Go to amd.com and get that pdf on how to install the hsf, I made a mistake a month ago when I was switching out cpus and that was my problem. Everything else looks good, but do you have some case fans? OK, I think I had better invest in some, or some better cooling. I moved a 120mm fan over near my cpu and my 100% load temp while folding droped about 10C. I am overclocked and it was maxing out at about 58C or less. Now it hardly hits 50C, usaully 48C but it might go down to 45C if it is cool in my room. I wonder how it will do in the summer? :) I used that sysctl command you suggested above and it says 55C-55.5C -- this is for when running underclocked. I rebooted, put the CPU speed back to normal, left the fan on its dangerously low setting and then ran the program again, whilst checking the cpu temperature every second with: while [ 1 ]; do sysctl -a | grep thermal; sleep 1; done I observed the CPU temperature rise from a base of 50C at an approximately steady rate (I should have taken periodic readings too then I could have made a graph or something). It slowed down at about 57C (having took about 3-4 minutes to get there) or so but carried on rising, 58C...58.5C...59C...59.5C... kernel trap 11m33s (unfortunately I was setting up another process to run on another console so I never saw the final temperature). This was with CPU thermal throttling enabled and set to 50% in my bios (although I'm not sure at which temperature it enables as it doesn't seem to say) I turned the fan up to max, rebooted and ran the program again. The temperature seemed to stabilise around 52C. Given this information I think it is highly likely that the temperature hypothesis is correct, and the reason for the crashing.

Re: 1st degree verbal assault and battery hate crime at Applebees
This is the wierdest spam I have ever seen, maybe it is to solicit responses to harvest email addresses for a particular kind of targeted advertising. Or maybe a ludicrous attempt at trolling. cali Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], Happy New Year to you. Well, I ended 2004 by being called a nigger several times by a white terrorist in APPLEBEES on December 30. The reason I'm posting you is to seek your advice as to what rights I have in a violent verbal assault, and hate crime situation like this. What would you do if something this devilish had happened to you? This is the second time this has happened to me in the same Applebees. The first time was about five years ago when I overheard a professional person using the N word to a white woman friend of his as they sat across from me at the bar. She was telling him that she had found a new boyfriend and thought that things were going to work out well for her. The fellow looked at her and then said I hope he's not a nigger I was astounded that he had said something so lowlife in a full club with about 20 people sitting at the bar and the rest of the tables nearby full as well. The bartender had been living with an African American male for over five years at the time. She looked astounded, and turned to me as if she couldn't believe her ears. I turned to the white people on each side of me, and asked them if they were going to say something to the person. They are always saying that they are not prejudiced. so this would have been the perfect time for some of them to back up their words with action. They did nothing! They just looked at each other in that silly HUH Head look that they utilize when they run into an idea that they had never considered before on the subject of race. The manager did come out and ask him to leave. He did so and to my knowledge he has never gone back. I have seen the fellow in other clubs where the clientele is more receptive to his modo di pensare. I did nothing official that time. This time I'm trying to determine what the best way to proceed would be. Here are most of the facts as to what occurred last Thursday, the 30th of December 2004. I went out to Applebees here in Cape Girardeau, Missouri around 2100. I sat on the north end of the bar next to several young white women. One of them was named VanMater from the Buick family here. I talked to them about various subjects for about 30 minutes and bought them some Frangelico. They had never tasted it so I thought I would let them sample something different since they were kind enough to talk to me a 58 year young African American. Most whites won't. Then they left and a friend of mine from Birmingham Alabama called me on his cell phone. We talked for about fifteen minutes about the state of the world and how savage, and inhumane so many Americans are in their thinking when it comes to how they view others around the world. Out of the corner of my right eye, I notice the young blond white woman to my right pushing a picture of a cute bi-racial child towards me. I picked it up and looked at it. Then I complimented the female on having a little girl that was so cute. After a few more minutes of talking to my friend, I hung up and started talking to the young blonde white woman, her female friend next to her, and her Canadian boyfriend to her right. The blonde's name was what it is. She said she was a hair stylist at a salon here. I was telling them about how my cousin owned the Harlem Globetrotter basketball team, and how there had been a couple of streets named after my mothers family around here. I was basically giving them a quick history on some black folks who were highly respected in this area. After about twenty minutes or so this 40ish white ball cap wearing, truck driver looking white fellow across the bar asked me when we had graduated from high school. I told him when I had graduated, and then N told him when she graduated. The white supremacist then said One of you is right, and one of you is a fucking nigger I picked up my cell phone and called the police as the Applebees manager was not on the scene. I had no idea what that piece of white trash would do next. After a few minutes Ed, the manager came over to the WS, and told him that he had to leave the club. The fellow got up and slowly walked toward the door selling wolf tickets all the way. The policeman arrived and he stood in the vestibule and talked to the manager of Applebees. He never came over and asked me anything; nor did he advise me of my rights in that situation. I'm one of the charter members of Applebees here. I have been going there since about six months after they opened in 1991, and I've never had a serious incident like this one So I went back to talking to the three people. Now of course we were talking about the white supremacist and his actions. One white 20ish female caught my eye, grinned and gave me the thumbs up sign
