Shared library not found after upgrade to 9.2-PRERELEASE

[Jim Long]

I recently upgraded a system to 

FreeBSD t42.umpquanet.com 9.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-PRERELEASE #0 r254977: Wed 
Aug 28 19:58:37 PDT 2013 
r...@t42.umpquanet.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I then deleted all the installed ports, and am rebuilding the
ones I still use.

I've encountered several instances where although a required
port is already installed, a dependent port build will claim that
the required library isn't found, and attempt a (re-)install of
that port.

In this example, jbig2dec claims that shared library libpng15.so
is not found, although 'ls' says it is in /usr/local/lib, and
'make missing' reports no uninstalled dependencies.

What can I do to remedy this, short of setting FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
and spending a lot of time rebuilding ports that are already
installed?

Please Cc: me on replies.

Thank you!

Jim

Thanks for your answer, but randomly generated file is created fine (it is
only for illustrative purpose). As far as I understand, thing that blocks
is tee inside bash command or pipeline.

bash pipe redirection gets stuck

[long]

Dear all,
I stumbled upon a problem where multiple pipe redirection occasionally get
stuck when trying to get sha256 sum of a stream.

You can try to reproduce the problem if you have /usr/ports/shells/bash
installed (output redirection used in this command is possible only in
bash).
Create temporary test file with command: "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/file1
bs=1k count=10"
And the command I'm using is:
/usr/local/bin/bash -c 'cat /tmp/file1 | tee >(/sbin/sha256 >
/tmp/file1.sha256) > /tmp/file1.copy' ; echo $status

Command gets stuck about once in 20 executions.
top output when command gets stuck (irrelevant processes removed):
  PID USERNAMETHR PRI NICE   SIZERES STATE   C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
84073 HappyUser 1  520 17612K  2268K wait0   0:00  0.00% bash
84154 HappyUser 1  520 10084K   844K fifoow  1   0:00  0.00% tee

And more strangely, I can reproduce this problem on 9.0-RELEASE and
7.4-RELEASE-p6, but couldn't reproduce on 8.2-RELEASE-p4.

Thanks for any pointers/explanations,
Normunds

freebsd-update housekeeping?

[Neil Long]

Hi

Just noticed how large /var/db/freebsd-update has grown on a box I  
just upgraded from 7.3 to 7.4 (but I can't recall when I started using  
it).


Is there a recommended approach or just rm the directory if I have no  
need to roll it back?


Thanks
Neil

Re: IPv6 rtadv on FreeBSD 8.1?

[Neil Long]

Not specifically related but I just worked around an issue with a Dell  
laptop with the xl0 interface which has problems with 8.1.


I was experimenting with a IPv6 setup and used an old PC (big and  
noisy) with the smallest install of 8.1. It worked fine as the tunnel  
server and ipv6 gateway (using rtadvd). I have an old laptop which is  
quieter and smaller and again installed the minimum 8.1 and used the  
same config (with rl0 changed to xl0). It worked fine for its own ipv6  
traffic but another test box failed to get packets routed. After much  
head scratching I gave up on 8.1 and installed 7.3 ( I have all the  
FreeBSD Mall subscriptions going back years) and no more problems with  
xl0. Something changed with 8.1 which xl0 does not like while rl0 or  
re0 interfaces are happy it seems (on the other box). I haven't tried  
any debugging, sorry.


Just thought I would mention it in case someone else has issues :-)

Thanks
Neil

I have running versions of 7.3 and 8.0, so I tried experimenting with
8.1 in VirtualBox, but I ran into a couple of problems.  I have an 8.0
system that is running a IPv6 tunnel to sixxs.net, and it is running
rtadvd to act as the gatway for my network.  On the 8.1 system I
enabled IPv6 in rc.conf, but it is not picking up the advertised
address.  I can add it manually, and have put it in rc.local for now,
but it seems it should work automatically as my others do.  I noticed
that the ifconfig output shows a new line that is not in 8.0:
   nd6 options=3

Is there something that has changed in 8.1 that I have to enable, or
is there a problem with 8.1?  IPv6 is working to the extent that it
did assign a link-local address, and I can use that address as long as
I specify the interface.  My configuration is the same, and I didn't
have to enable anything on the others to get the global address
assigned automatically.

Thanks for any advice.

boot0 problem - strange character for default drive?

[Neil Long]

Hi

Yesterday I had a problem with a gmirror configuration and one drive  
started squeaking rather unpleasantly. If I physically remove one of  
the drives I don't get a normal boot0 screen i.e. F1 for FreeBSD and  
F5 is Drive 0 - typical for gmirror??) but some strange character  
after the 'F' - I can't find the ascii number for it but it looks like  
a capital "I" (more of an I-Beam i.e. distinct flats top and bottom)  
with a diamond in the centre. Hitting any key just gives a # and left  
to itself there is a series of '#".


I gave up and left it overnight and today I was able to boot the good  
disk and even deactivate/insert the bad disk which completed. All  
seemed fine, no errors in dmesg but on reboot - all I get is the above  
state. I tried the SATA controller on the mobo and a plug-in PCI cheap  
one (tried two). Makes no difference. It boots fine off an IDE drive.  
It boots fine using the same SATA controllers for an older non-gmirror  
drive (then I simply get the F1: FreeBSD option) so I don't think it  
is the cpu/memory/mobo?? I now have the same boot0 problem with either  
drive from the gmirror


Anyone else seen this and have a fix? I don't want to zap the drives  
since there is a working system there but just can't get to it :-)


Thanks
Neil

Poor throughput with natd

[James Long]

Please copy me on replies.

I am testing ipfw and natd on a gateway machine running FreeBSD
7.2-STABLE #0: Tue Oct 27 00:12:39 PDT 2009  with the generic
kernel.  ipfw.ko and ipdivert.ko are loaded as modules, since
they're not part of the GENERIC kernel.

The symptom is that scp uploads from the gateway machine have
very poor throughput, often showing "stalled" status in the scp
progress output.

Machines on the LAN do not suffer this problem, and can upload
their traffic via NAT with no observed degradation in throughput.
That's why I haven't noticed this problem until recently, when I
tried rsync-ing some files outbound from the gateway to a remote
machine.

I can work around the problem, but this problem has never cropped
up in the past.  Is there a problem in my configuration, or in
recent natd?

Thanks for your time!

Jim


All commands below were executed on the gateway machine that is
running natd with very basic options:

15:07:37 /root# findps natd
root480  0.0  0.1  3388  1252  ??  Ss   12Nov09   4:32.81 natd -n fxp1


Here are the ipfw rules:

14:55:41 /root# ipfw show
00100   94930656746770 allow ip from any to any via lo0
002000   0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
003000   0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
0040077293 8699526 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp1
00500 35245946 28535731864 allow ip from any to any
655350   0 deny ip from any to any

Downloading, scp has no trouble:

14:55:59 /root# scp -p remote:public_html/video/tatra1.mpg .
tatra1.mpg  
 100%   85MB 559.4KB/s   02:36

But uploads stall.  This scp process was killed after about 60 seconds:

14:58:40 /root# scp -p tatra1.mpg remote:/tmp/
tatra1.mpg  
   0%  320KB   1.8KB/s - stalled -^CKilled by signal 2.

Deleting the DIVERT rule eliminates the stalling:

14:59:54 /root# ipfw delete 400
15:00:04 /root# scp -p tatra1.mpg remote:/tmp/
tatra1.mpg  
  27%   23MB 248.2KB/s   04:14 ETA^CKilled by signal 2.

But of course, it also eliminates NAT.

15:01:14 /root# ipfw add 400 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp1
00400 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp1

Adding this rule works around the natd throughput problem:

15:01:29 /root# ipfw add 350 allow all from me to any via fxp1
00350 allow ip from me to any via fxp1

15:02:03 /root# scp -p tatra1.mpg remote:/tmp/
tatra1.mpg  
 100%   85MB 266.9KB/s   05:27

The actual location of BSDPAN.pm is:

$ locate BSDPAN.pm

My presumption is that the Makefile's install path of 

/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.9/BSDPAN.pm

is erronous in not including the "_1" PORTREVISION value after the
5.8.9 in "BSDPAN-5.8.9".

I applied the diff below to the Makefile, and 
'portupgrade -wp perl-threaded-5.8.9' completed successfully.

Is this the correct fix?  I realize the better fix might be to
include "_${PORTREVISION}" instead of the literal "_1", but since
the BSDPAN_VERSION line did it that way, I copied.

If not correct, can someone please educate me how I might fix
this properly?  If it is correct, can someone please update the
Makefile?


Thanks,

Jim

Re: Any help about FreeBSD & Dell's Troubleshooting Tool DSET

[Scott Long]

The sense data in the screen shot boils down to an ASC/ASCQ pair of 
0x35/0x05.  Looking this up in the ASC table found at t10.org gives

the following:

35h/05h   ENCLOSURE SERVICES CHECKSUM ERROR

What this basically means is that the disk enclosure that you're using
has some sort of an unknown defect or failure.  It has nothing to do 
with the OS.  Dell needs to send you a new enclosure, plain and simple.

SCSI normally reports 3 things when it encounters an error (particularly
disk errors): Sense Key (SK), Additional Sense Code (ASC), and
Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ).

What appears in the below screenshot is a large amount of sense data,
but I can't make heads or tails out of it, because it's written in a
driver-centric manner ("Encl PD" means nothing to me).  I can read part
of the CDB data, but it doesn't tell me much.  Scott Long might know.

You should try asking the system manufacturer if they know what any
of the data means.

advice needed regarding OS & Hardware.

[Long Story]

Hello Gurus,
 
Since few years back and im on FBSD 4.8-R for commercial use.
Its time to move on.
 
I have two Questions, and kindly looking for answers, specialy that hosting 
company
contract is (NO support for FreeBSd), So i have to becareful again, just 
like what I did
to the 4.8-R
 
For a commercial use server
1) Which version do you recommend, shall I go for 7.0-R ?
or 6.3-R.
 
2) Hosting company hardware is
   * Single Intel E6300 CORE 2 DUO 1.86Ghz /1066MHz FSB /2MB L2 Cache* 2GB 
DDR2 RAM* 2x 250GB/7200 RPM Serial ATA Drives - Hot Swap; RAID1* 3Ware 
8006-2LP SATA RAID Controller* 2 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports 
 
Any of the above parts incompatabile with FreeBSD, or it has any bug ?
do you recommend something else?
 
They didnot mention the brand of ethernet ports, from my experince I will 
go for
 Linksys, any better recomendations ?
 
 
   THANKS ALOT.
   Marwan Sultan.

gvim and scim-pin can't compatible at 6.2 ???

[Chen Long]

Use FreeBSD 6.2,can't cvsup ports tree and install
vim(/usr/ports/chinese/vim) and scim-pinyin
(/usr/ports/chinese/scim-pinyin),

When I use scim-pinyin input Chinese at gvim, gvim will "death" that will
occupy 85% CPU resource ! and can't kill PID of vim. Only reboot  :-(

[good stuff snipped]


Right now we maintain a relatively stable VM/VFS KPI withing a major 
release (i.e, FreeBSD 6.0 -> 6.1 -> 6.2 -> 6.3), but see fairly 
significant changes between major releases (5.x -> 6.x -> 7.x, etc).  
I expect to see further changes in VFS for 8.x (and some of the 
locking-related ones have already started going in).



This is loosely related to both the OpenAFS thread and the Mac OS X ZFS
port thread, so I thought I'd ask...

Has anyone considered trying to bring the FreeBSD VFS KPI (and others, for
that matter) closed to the Darwin/Mac OS X ones? The Apple folks made
quite dramatic changes to their VFS when going from Panther (very FreeBSD
like) to Tiger, but seemed to have stabilized, at least for Leopard. It
just seems that using the Mac OS X KPIs might leverage some work being
done on both sides? (I don't know if there is an OpenAFS port to Mac OS X
or interest in one, but I would think there would be a use for one, if it
existed?)

Although I'm far from an expert on the Mac OS X VFS (when I ported to it,
I just cribbed the code and it worked:-), it seems that they pretty well
got rid of the concept of a vnode-lock. If the underlying file system 
isn't SMP safe, it can put a lock on the subsystem at the VFS call.

(I think it optionally does a global lock or a uses an smp lock in the
vnode, but don't quote me on this. My code currently runs with the
thread-safe flag false in the vfs_conf structure entry, which enables
the automagic locking.)



Both Solaris and OSX seem to have found the path out of the VFS locking
woods, and it would indeed be really nice if FreeBSD could follow suit.
You're not the first to suggest the vnode locking move out of VFS and
into the filesystems.  I think that the work it would take to adapt the
existing filesystems to this design would be far less than the ongoing
work by everyone to fight the old design (both in FreeBSD proper and in
companies that do their own custom filesystems in FreeBSD), but it does
come at a cost of making things like nullfs much harder, if not nearly
impossible.  I wish I had time to work on something like this, but I
encourage others to look into it and experiment.

Please pardon the rookie question, but the machine is not blazingly 
fast to build (circa 90 minute world, 20 min. kernel).  For the 
purposes of the binary search, may I build just the kernel, and would 
you suggest leaving the up-to-date world and running against a 
slightly older kernel as I test, or should I roll the world back to 
early August, and test against a slightly new kernel -- or will it 
matter?

Recent update to RELENG_6 creates lots of calcru warnings

[James Long]

I'm running FreeBSD RELENG_6 on a Compaq DL380 G2 dual PIII-1.4GHz with 
an SMP kernel.  dmesg below.

Prior to about August 12, the system had been quite stable.

Since that time, I am finding lots of calcru warnings, which often
cause system services to fail when they see unorthodox time shifts.

Section 5.19 of the handbook appears not to be current any longer,
suggesting setting kern.timecounter.method=1.  
kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 also does not improve things.

Other suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim

If I read the man page correctly, bzip2 defaults to --best, which is why
I compared gzip to bzip2 --fast.  With the 1.5G sendmail log, bzip2 --fast 
compresses to just under 10M in about 55 minutes, give or take.  bzip2
--best compresses 1.5G to 1.8M, but takes about 2.25 hours.  gzip
compresses almost as well (with 3% or so) as --fast, but does it in 1 
minute instead of 55 on a dual P-III 1.4GHz (but of course, using only
one CPU).

speed of bzip2 versus gzip

[James Long]

Is it normal for bzip2 to be significantly slower than gzip?
If not, where can I look for things that might be causing
"bzip2 --fast" to take 50-60 times longer to compress a 
(sendmail log) file than gzip?

Thanks,

Jim

devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_SAPPLY: No such process

[James Long]

I'm trying to mount a devfs inside a chroot jail, so that
scponlyc with work with sftp.

This problem seems to match kern/93423, but I have another 
6.2-STABLE system which has no problem with the below.

How can I get /sbin/devfs to cooperate?

Thank you!

Problem with OpenVPN and ethernet bridging

[James Long]

I'm trying to get my feet wet with an ethernet bridging setup 
under OpenVPN.

I have two hosts on a 10.0.0.0/24 network that I want to 
connect: dl360 is the server, and t30 is the client.  These
hosts are resolvable by /etc/hosts.  TLS seems to be working
from certs I created at cacert.org.

The goal is to bridge the t30 client to the second ethernet
NIC of the dl360 server.

The client is assigned an IP from the bridged LAN correctly, 
but the client cannot ping the 172.16.16.1 IP on the server's 
ethernet interface.  tcpdump shows traffic going out the 
tap0 interface on the client (ARP traffic, that is, trying to
ARP for 172.16.16.1).  tcpdump on the server's physical bge0
shows incoming traffic destined for UDP port 1194 on the server, 
but no traffic on the server's tap0 or bridge0 interfaces.

The OpenVPN docs, examples, and instructions are highly linux-
centric, so I'm having to read between the lines a lot.  Based on
http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/papers/FreeBSD-OpenVPN-Bridging.html
I am not assigning IPs to the server's tap and bridge interfaces,
as that page claims that such is unnecessary under FreeBSD.

So my troubleshooting is focusing on the server side, since I
can see that VPN traffic is reaching the public interface, but
OpenVPN is not mapping that traffic onto the ethernet bridge.

For now, I am creating the tap and bridge interfaces manually.
Despite having:

openvpn_enable="YES"
openvpn_if="tap bridge"

in /etc/rc.conf, I find that OpenVPN does not create the 
bridge interface.  I am running this script by hand, followed
by running "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn start":

ifconfig tap0 create
ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig bridge0 addm bge1 addm tap0 up


Here's ifconfig on the server:

Here's the openvpn.conf on the server:

And here's the openvpn.conf on the client:

persist-key
persist-tun

ca cacert.org.crt
cert t30.crt
key t30.key

log-append openvpn.log
verb 3
- - -

I have set net.inet.ip.forwarding set to 1 on the server to ensure
that packets are forwarded between interfaces.

What am I missing on the server side that's preventing me from pinging
from 172.16.16.50 to 172.16.16.1?  The client is running 6.2-STABLE 
circa March 13, and the server is 7.0-CURRENT circa late April 21.

Thank you!

camcontrol is a first-order tool.  Not much detail, but it will tell
you whether the array is OK or something other than OK.

Feedback for live CD

[James Long]

Some weeks ago, if I read the thread correctly, the committer who
works on the live CD side of the installation media requested 
feedback for odd bits that don't behave correctly in the fixit
environment.


I find that 'scp' won't run because it can't find /usr/bin/ssh.
The workaround is 'ln -s /dist/usr/bin /usr/bin'


This is when I boot from a 6.0-RELEASE CD.  If this has already
been addressed in later versions, please excuse the noise.  I
don't have a 6.2 CD at hand to test with.

autoconf error while portupgrading audio/vorbis-tools

[James Long]

I'm tackling the great 'portupgrade -r gettext'.  All but about
five ports built okay, and I'm focusing on the exceptions.

vorbis-tools reports an error when building that suggests to me
that something is not right in the way it is using autoconf,
however it's beyond my knowledge level to diagnose.

How can I fix the problem that is preventing this from building?

Thank you!

My brief analysis of this is that there's only so much that can be
done, at least programmatically.  Your DVD copy does not contain 
sufficient information to differentiate between hardlinks, apparently, 
and may not allow you to determine where softlinks used to exist, 
either.  And then there may be some files that were simply two copies 
of the same content, and should not be construed as linked files.

That said, I have done similar tasks (like deleting duplicate copies 
of files stored on two machines) by writing a shell script to 
calculate a checksum of each file on disk, then sorting the output 
based on the checksum.  Where you find duplicate checksum values, you 
likely have files that could be hard-linked to each other.  It would 
require some manual vetting of the identified duplicates to determine
whether the files are supposed to be hardlinks, symlinks or simply two 
discrete files with the same content.

This can be time-consuming for large filesystems, but for 3 Gigs,
you can just start it and walk away until it's done.

This example is rather clumsy, and if someone can show me how to do 
this without having to pipe the output into sh, I'd be edified to know 
that.  On the other hand, I often like to construct xarg lines like
this so I can see and inspect the commands that will be executed,
before actually committing to piping it into the shell.

find / -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -Ixx -n1 echo echo \$\(sha256 -q \"xx\"\) 
\"xx\" | sh > md5-list.out

Then use awk/sort/uniq/grep to find duplicate checksums, and determine
which files have identical checksum values.  Manually examine those 
files to determine whether they should be hardlinks, symlinks, or
remain as separate files.

Note that this necessarily excludes directories, which could be 
symlinks of other directories, such as /etc/namedb vs. 
/var/named/etc/namedb.

Mutt is running on the mailserver.  It submits the outgoing mail to 
localhost.  localhost should relay the mail out to the recipient.

I realize that, hence my post.  The server sends lots of outgoing 
non-local mail.  Just not to the smokeping list subscription 
address.

I had looked at /etc/mail/access prior to posting, but not closely
enough.  It was being denied by an access map entry.

Why is sendmail giving me this 550 error?

[James Long]

Sorry for tihs being marginally off-topic, but sendmail
doesn't have a mailing list anymore (that I can tell), 
just a newsgroup, and I have no effective Usenet access.

I'm trying to subscribe to the smokeping mailing list.

Why am I getting this 550 error?  If I telnet directly to the
MX for lists.oetiker.ch and perform a manual ehlo/mail from/rcpt to
I get a 450 greylisting response, which makes much more sense
than this 550/503 failure.

Thank you!

It just dawned on me when you said "INTR_MPSAFE", would having

options IPSEC

in the kernel config cause fxp to use GIANT?

dmesg says in part:

dmesg and GIANT-LOCK

[James Long]

With regard to the recent thread about looking for GIANT-LOCKs in
dmesg, why would one system say:

ns : 00:56:29 /home/james> uname -v ;dmesg | grep fxp
FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Tue Feb 20 15:47:09 PST 2007
fxp0:  port 0x2400-0x243f mem 
0xc4fff000-0xc4ff,0xc4e0-0xc4ef irq 10 at device 2.0 on pci0
miibus0:  on fxp0
fxp0: Ethernet address: 00:02:a5:0a:57:73


while a more recent build says:

t30 : 00:56:19 /home/james> uname -v ;dmesg | grep fxp
FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #2: Thu Mar  8 08:23:11 PST 2007
fxp0:  port 0x7400-0x743f mem 
0xd020-0xd0200fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci2
miibus0:  on fxp0
fxp0: Ethernet address: 00:09:6b:86:82:a6
fxp0: [GIANT-LOCKED]



Is it just the difference in chipset/controller type that requires
the fxp driver to use GIANT on the second machine, but not the first? 
I also note that on the first machine, irq 10 is solely assigned to
fxp0.  On t30, irq 11 is shared with a number of other devices.  Dunno
if that matters.


Thanks!

Re: swap file vs swap partition

Thanks for the input.  You do have good points.  The only issue with

Processors and memory have vastly outpaced the speed of disks; any
amount of swapping is going to be percieved as being very slow and
something that should be avoided.  Since RAM is also very cheap now,
most people just load enough RAM into their system to handle their load,
and then configure enough swap to hold a crashdump of that RAM.  You
always want swap so that you can handle unexpected spikes in load
without crashing, but it's less of an integral piece of normal system
operation these days.

Re: swap file vs swap partition

[Scott Long]

Aloha Guy wrote:

Greetings everyone:

I am planning to build a few new boxes which will run -RELEASE and -CURRENT and 
I have a question about the swap file.  In the past, I had always used a swap 
partition of 256MB since I originally had 128MB system memory in the 1990's but 
my system has been upgraded to 2GB and it seems the swap file would have more 
flexibility as I can just change the size of the swapfile if I needed to. My 
question is is there any difference in performance between a swap file versus a 
swap partition and can one run a system with a swap file instead of a swap 
partition?


Yes.  A swap file requires a pass through the filesystem code in order
to figure out where each block is.


Also, searching has not gotten me very far but are there any drawbacks to a 
swap file instead of a swap partition?  I read somewhere that a few people seem 
to think that a swap file can't handle kernel crash dumps?


That's correct, it cannot.


Shouldn't it be the same as both of them occupy disk space and as long as the 
swap file is large enough, wouldn't it work?


The crashdump code is written to assume that the dump space is
completely contiguous, something that is not at all guaranteed by
a swap file.  While it would certainly be possible to modify it
to make a pass through the filesystem like above, the intention
of the crashdump code is also to be as simple as possible and to
depend on as few kernel services as possible.  When the system has
crashed, who knows what can be trusted anymore, right?  Also, filesystem
corruption is a frequent cause of crashes; why risk that dumping to
a swapfile might encounter corruption and trash your entire filesystem.

This begs the rookie question:

What is the portable way to determine an aribtrary user's home directory
then, if ~username is not portable across shells?

Does one just have to grep and awk /etc/passwd?  Is the format of
/etc/passwd portable, such that one standard grep/awk sequence will 
portably return the home directory for user "username"?

Regards,

Jim


P.S.  Does this count as the portable way to do this?  :)

USERNAME_HOME="`bash -c "echo ~username"`"

I'm not an expert in ppp, but I have been immersed in the ppp man page
for the last couple three days.

Assuming that your two ADSL lines are from the same ISP, and they
support multi-session ppp, then yes, FreeBSD's ppp claims to be able to
bond the two ppp sessions into a single datapipe.

Say:

man ppp

and search for MULTI-LINK

ppp: 'enable proxy' feature

[James Long]

Thank you to the folks who encouraged me to look at
/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample for syntax on unique
IP assignment.  And after four more readings, I did find
the place in the man page where that is described!


The problem I have now is that I don't understand how to make
"enable proxy" work reliably for me.

The diagnosis I have so far says that "enable proxy" works only 
if the client knows to request an IP in the range of IPs defined
on the server.  If the client requests an IP outside that 
range (such as 10.0.0.2/0), then the server will instead assign 
them an IP from within the pool defined on the server, but the 
server does not create the proxy arp entry.

This is with 6.1-RC circa 20:34 5/1/2006 on one client, 6.2-PRE
circa 22:54 12/11/2006 on another, and 6.2-PRE 21:11 1/11/2007
on the server.

How can I get the server to proxy arp for all ppp peers that
receive IPs on the 192.168.0.0/24 LAN?

Thanks,

Jim

This issue is currently biting users of /usr/ports/security/scponly
also, I believe.

I'm finding that recently-created scponlyc chroots do not permit sftp 
login, although they do allow ftp login.  The client symptom is just:

$ sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connecting to www...
Password:
Connection closed
$

The cause appears to be that recent versions of 
/usr/libexec/sftp-server will complain about of lack of access to 
/dev/null and exit, resulting in the closed connection witnessed by 
the remote client.

The solution appears to be to create a devfs in the scponlyc chroot.

This is a little disappointing, as scponlyc used to be delightfully
lightweight and low-maintenance.  At this point, my understanding is
that the devfs requirement means that now I must run a script at boot
time that iterates through a list of chroot'ed users and create dev 
nodes within each jail.  scponlyc jails were previously a 
set-and-forget type of setup.

What is the proper mechanism for setting up an arbitrary number of
scponlyc chroots at boot time?  /usr/share/examples/etc/devfs.conf
doesn't show an example of how to apply these rules to a non-default
dev path.  I have chosen to put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

In case other scponly users are reading this in the archives, the 
manual method that works for me with 6.2-PRE and scponly-4.6_1 is:

# cd ~user
# mkdir -p dev
# mount_devfs devfs dev
# devfs -m dev rule -s 1 applyset
# devfs -m dev rule -s 2 applyset

One then sees:

# ls -l dev
total 0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel0,   6 Jan 12 17:15 null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel0,  12 Jan 10 07:57 random
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel 6 Jan 12 16:54 urandom@ -> random
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel0,   7 Jan 10 15:57 zero

which is more than enough to appease /usr/libexec/sftp-server.

chroots created some months ago contain lib versions with numbers 
typically one less, such as ./usr/lib/libssh.so.2 in the older 
chroot, versus ./usr/lib/libssh.so.3 in the newer.  The older
scponly chroots do net require devfs nodes!  I suspect they will 
eventually break though, given enough time.

Given that scponlyc provides a setup_chroot.sh script that provides
hooks for OS-specific chroot setup steps, would it help the port
maintainer to provide the shell script below?  I have it installed
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/scponlyc.sh.


Jim



#!/bin/sh

# chroot'ed users.  We will read /etc/shells to determine

server-side PPPoE: how to get ppp to automatically assign IPs?

[James Long]

I'm working with PPPoE.  I have one client and a provider working.
I'm using pppoed to spawn ppp instances on the provider:

/usr/libexec/pppoed -F -p t30 fxp0

The provider's ppp.conf:

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set device /dev/cual0
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
   \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set timeout 1200
 set server +3000 pppass

t30:
# this is pppoe server-side
set device PPPoE:fxp0:t30
set ifaddr 192.168.255.1 192.168.0.128/25 255.255.255.255
enable proxy
enable pap
enable passwdauth

The client's ppp.conf is:

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set device /dev/cual0
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
   \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set timeout 1200
 set server +3000 pppass

t30:
# this is ppp over ethernet
#set ifaddr mine/0 his/0 255.255.255.255
set ifaddr 10.0.0.2/0 10.0.0.1/0 255.255.255.255
add default HISADDR
set timeout 0
set dial
set device PPPoE:fxp0:t30
set authname ppp
set authkey 


I can connect the first client no problem, and it is assigned
192.168.0.128.  When the second client tries to connect, it fails.
Actually, the "ppp -background t30" on the client goes well, and
says "PPP enabled" but then the client ppp dies, I presume because
the server side ppp closed the connection.

It appears that the problem is client IP number conflict.  The 
server-side ppp.log shows that it tries to assign the first client's 
IP to the second client, and though ppp detects the conflict, it does 
not try to assign a different IP, even though a /25 is provided in the 
server's ppp.conf, and the client is configured to accept any IP.

How can I get the pppoe provider to automatically assign a unique IP
to each client that requests service?

Also, what if my pool of available IPs has discontinuities, such as
a.b.c.d/24 and then i.j.k.l/25 and w.x.y.z/22?  I don't see how
that can be accomodated in the "set ifaddr" line.  Is there a more
extensible mechanism for assigning client IPs?  How many tun
devices is a low-end P4 machine likely to support?

Thank you!

Jim

Ah yes, the infamous cat(1) ppp(8) exploit.  Much harder to clean up
than cat(1) dump(8), too.

Fortunately, the worst problem I've had with mine is occassional 
race conditions with mouse(4).

Yeah, and even a user with no account or password, a screwdriver, and

Hi, Kurt.

Can I make some assumptions that simplify things?  No kinky filenames, 
just [a-zA-Z0-9.].  My approach specifically doesn't like colons or 
spaces, I bet.  Also, you say gzipped, so I'm assuming it's ONLY gzip, 
no bzip2, etc.

Here's a first draft that might give you some ideas.  It will output:

foo.gz : 3456
bar.gz : 1048576
(etc.)

find . -type f | while read fname; do
  file $fname | grep -q "compressed" && echo "$fname : $(zcat $fname | wc -c)"
done


If you really need a script that will do the math for you, then
pip the output of this into bc:

#!/bin/sh

find . -type f | {

n=0
echo scale=2
echo -n "("
while read fname; do
  if file $fname | grep -q "compressed"
  then
echo -n "$(zcat $fname | wc -c)+"
n=$(($n+1))
  fi
done
echo "0) / $n"

}

That should give you the average decompressed size of the gzip'ped
files in the current directory.

Here is a slightly simpler solution than what Anders proposed that 
may work for you.

Find out which sub-directories of /var are the disk space consumers:

du -d1 /var | sort -rn | head

That will list the top ten.  This method assumes you have only one
or two large directories, and that moving them would yield
a substantial reduction in /var disk space usage.

Let's assume that /var/log and /var/db are the top two directories.

Shutdown to single-user mode.  Stop any daemons like syslog, sendmail,
etc. that might write to /var/log or /var/db, since you will be working
with those two directories.

cd into /var and move the log sub-directory onto the /usr mount point,
and then create a symlink to make /var/log redirect to the new location
on /usr:

cd /var
mv log /usr/var-log
ln -s /usr/var-log log

Repeat for /var/db:

mv db /usr/var-db
ln -s /usr/var-db db

Reboot.

This procedure eliminates the need to mess with your disklabel or your 
fstab.

BTW, it looks like your / partition is a bit crowded, also. :)

This is quite the WAG here, but can sendmail be started on-demand 
from inetd.conf?

Watch your umask when doing stuff like the above.  If /usr/home/login 
is world-readable (or group-readable), and your umask permits 
world-readable files, then all your secure chown root / chmod 600 
files are suddenly world readable to any rogueuser that can 
"cp /usr/home/login/root.dump ~rogueuser/".

I prefer to explicitly set the umask:

dump -L -0f - / | ssh -i ~root/.ssh/special_backup_dsa_key \
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] "umask 177; cat > /usr/home/login/root.dump"

One could/should of course also "chmod 700 /usr/home/login"

Why are you disappointed that the list accepts email from anyone who 
needs FreeBSD support?  Personally, I dislike some of the lists where 
you have to "join the club" before you can ask a question to receive 
support.

By the way, that is why it is customary to Cc: both the person and
and the list when replying.  It doesn't do any good to send a response
to the list if the person who asked the question isn't subscribed.

Beech's advice is sound.  I would stress that the simplest and easiest
by far is indeed a clean install.  And take two backups, if you have
customers counting on things going right.  Make sure your backups are
readable, usable and complete (no bad spots on tape media, no files
inadvertently omitted, etc.).

If at all possible, leave the production system running and begin the
new installation on separate hardware.  If you have a fast new machine 
to migrate onto, do that.  However your current hardware sounds
adequate for the light load you describe.  If you have just a spare
machine of nearly the same horsepower and configuration, you could
do the new installation on the spare machine, get it configured and
tested, and then backup the old machine twice, wipe the drive and
re-partition, and then transfer the newly-built configuration onto 
your production hardware.  Watch out for /etc/fstab gotchas, like if 
the test machine has an ad0 ATA drive and the production is da0 SCSI.

This will allow you to do a lot of migration, testing and tweaking 
off-line, without your customers noticing much downtime, except for
the final changeover.

How current are your installed ports?  Review the ports you do have
installed, and see whether you're really still using them.  It will
save you a little time on the new machine by not having to build
ports you don't really need anymore.  Look at your key applications, 
and where there are significant version changes between what you're 
running and what's current, familiarize yourself with the upgrade 
issues (if any) that each port presents.  Be prepared to test any
new features you hope to use, or to regression test to make sure
that legacy functionality still works the way you expect.  This 
might be the time to switch to Apache 2, for example, if you want
to.  But some things that worked under 1.3 will have to be adjusted
to work under 2.  At the least, it would be good to upgrade to the 
latest 1.3.x, to use Apache as an example.

As for #3, I have grown fond of using a FreesBIE or other live CD for
steps like booting the migration/test box to create a backup image of 
the new 6.X filesystem, and then also to boot the production box for 
the final changeover to transfer that backup image onto the production
disk.  That way your file system in an off-line (inactive) state, 
where you can cleanly backup the old production filesystem (twice!),
then wipe and re-partition, and transfer the new configuration image
onto the production drive likewise in a clean state.  If you haven't
already, spend some time just experimenting on a test machine, and 
make friends with FreesBIE and/or the Fixit live CD mode of FreeBSD 
installation media.

Good luck!

Latest Apache13 with PHP5 crashes when PostgreSQL support is added

[James Long]

I have been running Apache (apache+mod_ssl-1.3.34+2.8.25_1) for some
time with php5 and extensions to support PostgreSQL 8.0.9.  After 
upgrading to PostgreSQL 8.1.15 I find that Apache crashes if the
php5 PostgreSQL extension is installed.  I have updated Apache to
apache+mod_ssl-1.3.37+2.8.28 with no improvement.  I have 
pkg_deleted and re-installed the php5 port with no improvement.

Starting Apache via the package's rc.d script results in a short-
lived httpd process that doesn't live long enough to log anything 
before it exits.  I have to run it as "httpd -DSSL -X" to see
any debugging info at all, which is simply "Segmentation fault: 11 
(core dumped)" and an httpd.core file.

I am compiling php5-extensions with only pgsql support.  With this
php5-extensions meta-port installed, Apache will not start with PHP
support.  If I either comment out Apache's PHP support, or de-install
the php5-pgsql-5.2.0 package, Apache will start.  That suggests to
me that I have narrowed down my list of suspects.

How can I get the latest Apache 1.3.X and PHP5 to support the latest 
PostgreSQL?

Thank you for your time.

Jim

portaudit thinks a vulnerability just disappeared

[James Long]

I have a 4.11-RELEASE system.

Prior to doing some minor portupdates, I had this portaudit report:

Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:

Affected package: php4-4.4.1_3
Type of problem: php -- open_basedir Race Condition Vulnerability.
Reference: 


Affected package: php4-4.4.1_3
Type of problem: php -- multiple vulnerabilities.
Reference: 


Affected package: ruby-1.8.4_3,1
Type of problem: ruby - multiple vulnerabilities.
Reference: 


Affected package: apache+mod_ssl-1.3.34+2.8.25_2
Type of problem: apache -- mod_rewrite buffer overflow vulnerability.
Reference: 


Affected package: mutt-1.4.2.1_2
Type of problem: mutt -- Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability.
Reference: 


5 problem(s) in your installed packages found.


I cvsup'ped my ports tree and portupgraded ruby, mutt and portaudit, 
but not any of their dependencies (since version number changes were 
minor).

portaudit -aF now thinks:

www : 17:59:17 /root# portaudit -aF
auditfile.tbz 100% of   38 kB  138 kBps
New database installed.
Affected package: php4-4.4.1_3
Type of problem: php -- open_basedir Race Condition Vulnerability.
Reference: 


Affected package: php4-4.4.1_3
Type of problem: php -- multiple vulnerabilities.
Reference: 


2 problem(s) in your installed packages found.


Why does portaudit think the apache+mod_ssl problem went away?  The 
installed version is still:

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.34+2.8.25_2 The Apache 1.3 webserver with SSL/TLS 
functionality

You missed the point.  If I were to set batch mode on, then
it would just build WITHOUT the options I selected.  The fact
that the config box came up with RDOC and IPV6 still selected
suggests to me that portconf isn't recognizing my entries in 
ports.conf.

Using portconf and /usr/local/etc/ports.conf

[James Long]

I am trying to migrate my /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf into 
/usr/local/etc/ports.conf.  I'm not sure I have the ports.conf
syntax correct, or that the entries I'm making are being 
recognized.

I've installed the sysutils/portconf port successfully, and
my make.conf is:

monitor : /root# cat /etc/make.conf
CPUTYPE?=p3

NO_PROFILE= true
USA_RESIDENT=YES

_PORTCONF!=/usr/local/libexec/portconf
.for i in ${_PORTCONF:S/|/ /g}

.endif
# End portconf settings


I have this line in /usr/local/etc/ports.conf for ruby18:

Re: Good networking books for a beginner?

[James Long]

Somewhere I seem to recall having read an RFC which is a primer
on IP basics.  I remember especially liking the sections where
it described the the inter-relationships between the network mask,
the role that ARP plays, and the use of routing.

Darned if I can find such a thing now, though.  If anyone knows
what this was, I'd appreciate a pointer.  The plain-text, Courier-font

man page bug in mv(1) ?

[James Long]

The man page mv(1) states:

"It is an error for either the source operand or the destination path 
to specify a directory unless both do."


However:

mv file /tmp/

works.  Am I reading things wrong, or is the man page incorrect?

Except, possibly, lines that begin at the first byte of the buffer, 
such as the first line of the file, and any other lines that happen to

Re: iir(4) driver (Was: Re: Safe card to replace for ICP Vortex GDT851...)

[Scott Long]

Ok guys, time for a small breather here.  All these claims about
EoE and orphanage and whatnot are a bit premature and underinformed.
First, the iir driver is being worked on when the need arises.  Several
bugs were fixed in it a few months ago, and until Mark's recent series
of mails on it, no other problems had been reported.  So far there is
only one person reporting unhappiness with it, which doesn't necessarily
mean that there is systematic trouble with the driver or the hardware.
Second, various Adaptec sources have confirmed that they do support
FreeBSD.  Making big statements in public that they don't, or that it's
not up to ones' standards or hopes, isn't terribly useful or productive.
I'd hate for FreeBSD to turn into That Other BSD that publically abuses
and harasses vendors for percieved sleights.  There are much more
positive and product ways to fix problems and form good relationships,
and those ways are actively being pursued by some people right now.

And here again is my standard disclaimer:
I highly recommend that anyone who takes their data integrity seriously
should spend time qualifying any RAID solution that they are interested
in before putting it into production.  What works for your workload
might not work for someone else's workload, and vice-versa.

Scott

Hello!

Yes, they won't.



Basically, should the iir(4) driver be considered EOE also?



As far as Adaptec and ICP Vortex are concerned, yes. Since the
driver is Open Source, there is no enforced EOE, just "orphanage",
if nobody is willing to work on it.

bsnmpd: send: Connection refused

[James Long]

I'm trying to implement the bsnmpd service on one of my machines.

In rc.conf I have:

# run the bsnmpd daemon, with debugging
bsnmpd_enable="YES"
bsnmpd_flags="-c /etc/snmpd-test.config -d -D dump"


In hosts.allow, very near the top, I have:

bsnmpd : ALL : allow


Here is the diff of the sample config file versus my own:

If I'm understanding you correctly, consider something like this in your
/etc/mail/virtusertable:

# domain1.org
#
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   name1
@domain1.orgerror:nouser
#
#
# domain2.com
#
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   name2
@domain2.comerror:nouser
#
#
# domain3.net
#
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   name3
@domain3.neterror:nouser
#
#

This makes name1 only receive mail at domain1, name2 at domain2, and
name3 at domain3.

Standard caveat about running make after modifying virtusertable.

Re: Please help - adaptec 2820sa not allowing installation

I did all my due diligence, I contacted freebsd-fs and _made sure_ that

I was _assured_ that these cards are supported in 6.1-RELEASE, that all is
well, and I could install and that was that.



No, you were not assured, at least not by when we discussed this last 
week.  I told you that I personally did not guarantee that it worked, 
only that I had heard reports that it did.


You have two variables here.  One is that it's an array that is larger
than what the aac driver has supported in the past.  Second is that it's
RAID-6.  Both of these variables should be handled by the aac driver
update that happened last year, but again, I couldn't validate it, so I
can only go with the reports of others.

As others suggested, you need to experiment with simplier 
configurations.  This will help us identify the cause and hopefully 
implement a fix.  No one is asking you to throw away money or resources.

Since you've already done the simple test with a single drive, could you
do the following two tests:

1.  RAID-5, full size (whatever >2TB value you were talking about).
2.  RAID-6, <2TB.

From there, I'll figure out what needs to be done to get it fully 
working for you.

Have you got any other drives you can attach to the raid?

If so, disconnect the 8 drives connected, connect up a couple that are
not part of the raid and configure them as a simple raid 1 and see if
the installers sees that raid. Or try any combination in drives to
bring the raid size down below 2TB (I'm sure this limitation has been
fixed.)




Ok, the answer is that it has not been fixed.

6.1 sysinstall does in fact see both 2820sa controllers, and when I 
put in
a single 160GB sata drive, it does see that single drive and I can 
install

onto it, etc.

Sysinstall does _not_ see my 2.7TB raid6 array.  I suspect that if it 
were

smaller than 2TB, it would see it correctly.

I have a number of options with which to deal with this, all of which
involve either wasting money or wasting disk space.  Fantastic.



Right - FreeBSD doesn't recognize >2TB LUNs.


Wrong on several counts.  First, the AAC driver does not present arrays 
to the system as SCSI LUNs.  The traditional 2TB limit with 12 byte CDB

issue simply doesn't exist with this driver.  Second, the FreeBSD SCSI
layer knows how to issue 16 byte CDBs to access >2TB, assuming that the
target understands the 16-byte protocol.  So no, there is no 2TB limit
inherent to FreeBSD.  The only limit is with individual drivers and with
hardware.

You don't say specifically, but I presume you're planning a source 
upgrade (make buildworld, et al).

You have oodles of space on /var, I'd suggest trying:

cd /usr
mv src /var && ln -s /var/src src
mv obj /var && ln -s /var/obj obj

That should give you plenty of room to cvsup and compile the upgrade.

I'm not sure you read the post correctly.  He's asking where the "/home"
directory is on his system.

/home is typically a symlink to /usr/home, although it doesn't have to be.

My reply will definitively tell the user which filesystem the /home
directory (or symlink) resides on.

What's your domain name again?

cvsup downloads only the bits of the port tree that have changed.
An intelligent backup strategy backs up the entire tree infrequently,
and the rest of the time, backs up only the files that have changed.

And since the ports tree is readily available off the net, why
back it up at all?

There is no mandatory requirement on anyone to do anything.

I suggest you purchase one or more high-powered build machines and 
ship them prepaid to the ports maintainer.  Repeat every eight or ten 
months to ensure that the build machines remain state-of-the-art.

Any particular reason "asr" is listed 5 times?  Did you mean to replace
some of them with other drivers, or are you emphatically sure that asr
is broken? :-)


It's there to make a point.  Do not buy asr hardware and expect it to
work on amd64.  The driver comes from the vendor, and the vendor hasn't
had any interest in supporting it since 2001.  There are many other
vendors who make much higher quality cards and who are actively
interested in supporting FreeBSD, so I recommend doing business with
them.

The only potential issues are with specific drivers (e.g. ata).
Search the amd64 mailing list archives for more discussion.

Ok, off the top of my head:

Storage drivers that are known to work with amd64 and 4GB of RAM or more:

aac
amr
iir (6.1 and above only)
ips
ahc
ahd
ciss
arcmsr
mpt
isp

Storage drivers that should work, but might need more testing and 
validation:


twa
twe
mlx
mly
amd
trm


Storage drivers that are known to have problems under load:

ata
hptmv


Storage drivers that simply will not work::

asr
asr
asr
asr
asr
pst
ida
sym


This list isn't definitive, and I've purposely excluded ISA controllers
and controllers that are significantly out of date, but it's close
enough to give you a good idea of what to shop for.

Personally, I feel a bit bad that ata and sym aren't in the first group,
but there are only so many hours in the day.  Both present interesting
challenges.

We're currently operating with 2GB ECC Registered PC333 ram, but are 
finding a fairly constant usage of about 1700MB swap space; like to 
increase system memory, and installed motherboard supports 16 slots x 
2GB DIMMS each (for 32Gb total) - but what about FreeBSD?


System is running:
- Apache (about 10-12 mod_perl httpd's @ 90MB ram each)
- Apache (about 20-30 very basic httpds for static stuff @ 12Mb each)
- Sendmail, including MimeDefang and SA processes at some 90MB each
- MySQL 4.1 running about 70MB Ram
- Samba (smbd's running at 30Mb ram each 30-50 in use at any time)
- A number of Perl processes ranging from 1Mb - 900Mb each
- Other misc, but the above are the major ones

Just want to make sure no known issues exist (primarily with the above 
applications), comments anyone?





The ATA driver is still a bit flakey with more than 4GB of RAM, so make 
sure that you are using either a modern SCSI controller or a RAID 
controller.

You missed the point.

If the system does NOT power itself down, but instead sits at the
"press any key to reboot" prompt, then playing with the NUT configuration
isn't going to improve anything in cases where power returns before
batteries are drained.  The OP would have to troubleshoot his inability
to get the machine to power off upon a line outage, which it appears
he has done.

What happens if:

1) power fails
2) NUT detects this and halts the machine
3) power returns before batteries are exhausted

Will the machine sit forever waiting for someone to "Press any key to 
reboot" ?

So with this modem inserted in the card slot, does tip(1) work?

# grep sio4 /etc/remote
sio4|com5:dv=/dev/cuad4:br#9600:pa=none:
# tip sio4
connected
atz  <-- type this simple AT command
OK

With the modem plugged in, do you have a /dev/cuad3 entry?  What does 
ls -l /dev/cu* show?  Are you logged in as root?

The ppp man page is lengthy, but excellent.  It contains a lot of information
that took me several readings to digest, but it was well worth the time.  I
am not an expert in diagnosing ppp problems from logs, but if you can post 
the ppp.log entries you get when you attempt to initiate a ppp connection,
others may be able to help.

Further, the assertion by [EMAIL PROTECTED] that portupgrade

(blink)

Will mysqld use /etc/hosts to resolve a hostname to bind to?  If I use 
something like 'localhost', it's actually resolving that through DNS 
by appending my default domain suffix.  I tested this by creating a 
hosts entry "asdf" and verifying that "host asdf" did not resolve.  So 
asdf is in /etc/hosts, pingable on my local interface, but not 
resolvable via DNS.  When I do that, /tmp/err.log says:

060228 01:10:37  mysqld started
060228  1:10:37 [ERROR] Can't start server: cannot resolve hostname!: Unknown 
error: 0
060228 01:10:37  mysqld ended

This behaviour appears to differ with that observed by Jeremy Cole at 
Yahoo, with whom I have been corresponding on the MySQL list.  I 
originally inquired about MySQL's seeming inability to bind to an IP 
specified by hostname, rather than a literal IP number.  I'm coming 
from Postgres, which allows binding not only to an IP or a hostname, 
but an arbitrary list of IP numbers and/or hostnames (and/or local 
UNIX sockets, I believe).  MySQL appears to allow only one, although I 
certainly welcome corrections.  Maybe one just specifies multiple 
instances of the --bind-address= option, I haven't tried that.  But 
Jeremy's observation is below, and appears to indicate that he can get 
MySQL to bind to a hostname defined in /etc/hosts, although he's doing 
it a little differently.  I prefer to accomplish it through the 
standard mechanisms in /etc/rc.conf that allow me to furnish start-up 
options to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh.

My goal is this: I want to specify a hostname in /etc/hosts and define 
an IP number there.  That way, when my IP changes, I can edit 
/etc/hosts ONCE and not have to dig through lo

Problem with mysql-server.sh script (5.0.18 on 6.1-PRE)

[James Long]

I'm migrating a system from MySQL 3.x to 5.0.18 on a server running 
"6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Feb 22 08:53:15 PST 2006".

With no mysql running:

www : 19:42:23 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# ps -axl | grep mysql
www : 19:42:33 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# 

And the following defined:

www : 19:42:33 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# egrep "debug|mysql" /etc/rc.conf
mysql_enable="YES"
mysql_args="--bind-address=localhost"
rc_debug="ON"
#mysql_enable="NO"

When I:

www : 19:42:49 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start

I see:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh: DEBUG: Sourcing /etc/defaults/rc.conf
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh: DEBUG: checkyesno: mysql_enable is set to

www : 19:43:38 /usr/local/etc/rc.d#

So then I:

www : 19:43:45 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# ps -axl | grep mysql

and I see:

www : 19:43:50 /usr/local/etc/rc.d#

IOW, MySQL doesn't start.

If I manually run the object of the su command:

www : 19:47:46 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# sh -c "/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe  
--defaults-extra-file=/var/db/mysql/my.cnf --user=mysql --datadir=/var/db/mysql 
--pid-file=/var/db/mysql/www.vehiclenet.com.pid --bind-address=localhost > 
/dev/null &"

And then do:

www : 19:47:58 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# ps -axl | grep mysql

I see:

root  16826  0.0  0.2  1708  1160  p0  S 7:47PM   0:00.01 /bin/sh 
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-extra-file=/var/db/mysql/my.cnf

--pid-file=/var/db/mysql/www.vehiclenet.com.pid --bind-address=localhost
www : 19:48:03 /usr/local/etc/rc.d#

IOW, running the "sh -c ..." command manually works, although it leave 
mysqld_safe running as root, instead of as the mysql user (which does
exist).

/etc/passwd:mysql:*:88:88:MySQL Daemon:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
/etc/group:mysql:*:88:


If I manually run the command under su to try to get the service to run
under the mysql user account, mysql does not start, and neither su nor
mysql leave any error messages on either the console or the logs:

www : 19:55:21 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# su -m mysql -c 'sh -c 
"/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe  --defaults-extra-file=/var/db/mysql/my.cnf 
--user=mysql --datadir=/var/db/mysql 
--pid-file=/var/db/mysql/www.vehiclenet.com.pid --bind-address=localhost > 
/dev/null &"'
www : 19:56:48 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# findps mysql
www : 19:56:52 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# su -m mysql -c 'sh -c

--user=mysql --datadir=/var/db/mysql

/dev/null &"'
www : 19:57:01 /usr/local/etc/rc.d# findps mysql
www : 19:57:04 /usr/local/etc/rc.d#

(findps is an alias that basically does a ps -axl | grep "$1" | grep -v grep)


How can I fix this, or get su to tell me more about why the command works
manually as root, but not under su as mysql?


Thanks!

You forgot to tell us WHICH model of ThinkPad concerns you.  Modems in 
older ThinkPads, such as a T21 or A20m may be supported by the 
comms/ltmdm port.

I have been unable to find any support for modems in newer ThinkPads, 
such as the T30 and later.  However, somewhere around here I have a
modem-only mini-PCI card that came out of my A20m when I upgraded it
to a mini-PCI combo card with modem and 10/100 fxp NIC.  Both the 
modem-only card and the combo modem/NIC card had supported modem 
chipsets.  Once I can locate the modem-only PCI card I have 
(somewhere), I will try to install it in my T30 and see whether I can 
get modem functionality back.

Now, don't blame me if this fries your laptop or causes other mayhem, 
but if you want to try, you can buy these modem cards pretty cheap on 
eBay.  Based on the part numbers found on IBM's site at

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-4K6L7B

I would try looking for part number 10L1305 or 08K3146.  You want a
Lucent chipset, since that is what the comms/ltmdm port is written to
support.

Good luck, and please follow up if you find a solution.

Jim

Why not move to a better ISP?  I don't believe in paying money
for crummy ISP service.  There's too many good ISPs out there
competing for your money.  Vote with your wallet and move to an
ISP that wants your business.

ports/databases/mysql50-server: where is mysql_upgrade ?

[James Long]

Section 5.6.2 of the MySQL 5.0 docs says:

5.6.2. mysql_upgrade -- Check Tables for MySQL Upgrade

mysql_upgrade should be executed each time you upgrade MySQL. It 
checks all tables in all databases for incompatibilities with the 
current version of MySQL Server.


After installing mysql50-server, there is no mysql_upgrade on
my system:

pe850 : 19:44:15 /root#
[1]+  Done( /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb )
pe850 : 19:44:27 /root# locate mysql_upgrade
pe850 : 19:44:32 /root#


I am building a new server with MySQL 5.0.18 running on FreeBSD
6.1-PRERELEASE and importing data from 3.22.32 running on 
4.4-STABLE.

Where can I locate mysql_upgrade?


Thanks,

Jim

Forgive me for missing the early parts of this thread, but why
not just put a PATH directive in your crontab?

I am not a sendmail expert, but try adding this line to your sendmail.mc:

FEATURE(blacklist_recipients)

My understanding is that this causes blacklisted email addresses to be
applied to both sender (which you verified, sending from your home personal
address) and recipients (which you're trying to accomplish, blocking the
employee's address when designated as a To:/Cc:/Bcc: recipient).

Add that line, remembering to re-create your sendmail.cf, restart sendmail,
and try again.

Start by making a full backup of your FreeBSD installation.  Then 
you'll feel less squeamish about whatever you do next.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s advice is too narrow, IMO.  The best practice I know 
is to back up the entire /etc directory tree before running mergemaster:

...
rm -rf /etc.old
cp -RLp /etc /etc.old
mergemaster -v
...

Then, if something goes wrong in mergemaster, you can just restore the
backup and re-run mergemaster.

In my experience, I find it highly unlikely that your DL360 has an 
internal DLT drive in it.  It wouldn't fit.

Have you opened the chassis of the server and tried to physically
locate this alleged internal tape drive?

And please, 

** LOOK ** at the recipients 

when you "Reply to all"...  A lot of mor^H^H^Hfolks seem to think that 
if they cc the list twice, they'll get twice the response.  There's no 
need to post two copies of the same message to the list.

Partially because folks such as this poster don't realize what they're
