Re: Mounting CDROM as user under 5.x

[Dany]

The "operator" trick worked. Thanks again and happy new year. Since I've 
started the FreeBSD experience, I've collected about 20 pages of tips 
and tricks to get stuff running. I will probably publish something so 
others can enjoy it.

Is there any security concern having a user belonging to the group

I never really cared about. AnonFTP is owned by operator, but in general I 
think wheel is worse than operator.
Please correct me anybody, I don't really care on my workstation ;)
Best is to have a look through the (default) filesystem and see if operator 
has any write permissions where it was no good. I'm quiet sure wheel has much 
too much read permissions for "normal" users. But that doesn't matter for

This is pretty much what I've tried. My user is in the Wheel group.
Would this exact configuration work ?Should I set any other
permission in order to have the user from the wheel group to mount
drives?
Thanks for posting your configuration.

PS: One thing I've noticed with this specific user, whenever he creates
something the file/directory will show owner:username   group:username.
I've used the command "groups" as well as chpass I think and they gave
me only one group for this username... wheel.  Why doesn't wheel appear
as the group owner for stuff that username is creating ?
   

When you add a user with "adduser" by default FreeBSD creates a group
similar named like the username. If you later say that this user should
be in group wheel it's additional.
 

added the following to /dev/devfs.conf
link acd0 cdrom
perm acd0 0660
 

This line just gives write access to group. You can either add the line:
ownacd0 root:wheel
or you edit /etc/groups and add your user to the group operator.
I'd prefere the latter.
Here's my simple /etc/group example:

Can't mount primary msdos slice

[Olga Zenkova]

Can't mount primary msdos slice on FreeBSD 5.1. Get:
"/dev/ad4s2 - invalid argument". The file for the
device /dev/ad4s2 exists - I see it by "ls". May be I
need some additional keys in the mount string?

VMware and Full Screen Mode

[Theresa L. Ford]

Forgive the repost.  The last was mistakenly threaded:

Hi!  Google is not looking promising on this topic.

I have 4.9-STABLE, a nVidia GeForce Ti 4600, VMware 3, installed 
through the ports collection.

When switching to full screen mode, the application terminates.

Any help you can give me would be most appreciated.  Thank you!

For 4.9-Stable, this works for me.  Maybe it is close for 5.1?

In kernel:
options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem

Command:
mount_msdos /dev/ad3s8 /mnt

Of course, substitute your device.

I dom something similar to what you ask. What I do is tar a directory and all

tar -zcf  name.tgz --exclude MP3 dirname/

Explanation:

I'm tarring a dir. and excluding the dir MP3 and it's files.
I'm sure you will be able to expand on this.
Use  man tar to see all the switches.

   

Sounds find, but wouldn't

$tar /home/foo/*

get this job done without including
subdirs, since there's no -R involved?
I read the OP's question as "I want to
tar all the files in a directory without

would mean "any (sub)directories within
the directory would not be placed in the

Oh dear -- this again.  There was a lot of traffic on this list some
months ago when this first occurred.  You need to update your MySQL
server port, and copy the mysql-server.sh-dist that provides to
mysql-server.sh

What happened is that a /bin/sh bug was fixed, and consequently
erroneous shell constructs like:

 foo & && bar

now generate Syntax errors.

IME, DLT works well and is pretty reliable.  No tape backup solution is
ever 'cheap', but DLT has been around long enough, and superseded by enough
new technologies (LTO, AIT, etc,...) that it's certainyl at the less
expensive end of the spectrum.  40GB (~80GB compressed) per tape.  We use
an 8-tape changer that usually holds enough for a week's worth of backups.
Any old DLT drive should work with FreeBSD, although you'll need a SCSI
adapter to attach it to.

I'd second the idea of a separate staging disk for backups, especially if
(like us) you're forced to use Windows software to actually put the backups
on the tape.  We have a 250GB drive that the nightly dumps from various
UNIX RAIDs go to - the tape system can then just pick up a few files via
Samba, at its leisure.  We can fit 1-2 weeks of compressed dumps on the
staging disk, so we rarely have to go to tape for restores, plus we no
longer have to use the (lame, slow, broken) Veritas UNIX Agent to back up
the UNIX systems.

As for RAID, we use Vinum, but only because I inherited a bunch of machines
with hot-swap SCSI bays and no hardware RAID.  It works well, once you have
it set up, and I've even managed to swap out failed drives without a reboot
:-)  I'll definitely investigate the 3ware cards when I need to build a new
RAID server, though.

Cheers,

Scott

Is this on -STABLE?

I had to remove 'device ugen' from my kernel because I also had problems using
the automatic module loading. It seemed that having ugen statically compiled
into my kernel interfered with the umass module, but I haven't had the time
to dig into this deeper. Other than that I can only say that I sometimes
need to plug the reader in & out before it works.

I haven't tried my SanDisk with -CURRENT yet so no tips for that.

Samba, Cups and Printing: Windows client gives "Access denied"

[Phil Payne]

Hi,

I've got an HP printer on USB port on Freebsd 4-Stable box. Printer is 
on /dev/ulpt0. Installed cups and printing from BSD is fine. 

Had samba installed and working great for filesharing. Now introduced an 
all printers share to share this printer. Printer is browseable from 
windows machine.

When I install this printer on a Win2K machine (and use local drivers) I 
get "Access Denied, Unable to Connect." Unlike some other people's 
experience I cannot print to the printer despite this message.

I've found lots of references to others having this problem on BSD and 
LINUX on the web but no resolutions. 

Of course, BSD questions is where all the really clever people hang out 
so someone here is bound to know ;-)

I couldn't find any resolution in the mailing list archive so does 
anyone know of an answer or is this a bug in operation between Winblows 
and Samba?

Below is the global and printers sections of my smb.conf. This was 
generated by webmin but I do understand and have written smb.conf 
manually in past.

Thanks,
Phil

DNS/DHCP redundnacy

[stan]

I'm  revamping my network infrastructure a bit to increae redundancy.

Presently DNS is served by a single FreeBSD, and I've got a dhcp server
running on an OpenBSD machine that also serves as my firewall.

Where I'm headed is to build a 2nd FreeBSD, and use it and the existing
FreebSD as redundant DNS/DHCP servers.

This leads to several questions.

1. Should both named.conf files declare themselves to be master, or should
one be slave?

I've installed the isc dhcp server from ports, and it works for simple
usage.

2. Can anyone show me an example of "failover" configuration for these?
Here is what I have come up with, but I'm not convinced it's corect:


# dhcpd.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd
#

# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "fas.com";
option domain-name-servers 205.159.77.224;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
authoritative;

# ad-hoc DNS update scheme - set to "none" to disable dynamic DNS updates.
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
option domain-name "fas.com";
ddns-domainname "fas.com";

zone fas.com. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
}

# Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also
# have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection).
# log-facility local7;

# No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the 
# DHCP server to understand the network topology.

subnet 10.152.187.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}

tried to do this, but it's not working. here's the named.conf file for

Hi,

Strange question, I have notice that in 5.1 there is no more fortune. Can

How do I install Netscape Linux binary on FreeBSD 4.3?

[Ken Seggerman]

I am running FreeBSD 4.3 running on an old slow laptop which is running
low on disk space.

I had Mozilla 5.0 0.8.1 and Netscape-communicator 4.76 installed.

Netscape was a package off of the FreeBSD 4.3 CDROM. I may have downloaded
Mozilla and installed it as a package, or built it as a port. I don't
remember.

Up until quite recently Mozilla worked very slowly, took up a lot of space
on the hard drive and 97%  of the CPU. I don't think Netscape
worked once I installed Mozilla, but trying to start Netscape resulted in
the following error messages:

$ /usr/local/bin/netscape
/usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6: minor version -1
older than expected 0, using it anyway
ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6"

I did pkg_delete on Netscape and reinstalled it with pkg_add from the
CDROM.

When I tried to start Netscape, I got the same bad magic number error.

Then when I tried to start Mozilla, the hard drive rattled for about five
minutes, Mozilla started up, got a PID, used up 95% of the CPU, but it
never (I've waited 15 minutes) opened a window. Perhaps my pkg_delete and
pkg_add of Netscape stepped on something in Mozilla.

I pkg_deleted mozilla, netscape-communicator, netscape-wrapper, and
netscpae-remote.

I went to the FreeBSD web site where they said that the FreeBSD version of
Mozilla is huge and slow, and recommended Netscape instead. The latest
version of Netscape for download is Linux version called:

netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz.

My laptop is set for running Linux executables:
#linux
linux driver already loaded

but I have no idea what to do with this file.

Do I untar and unzip it first and hope that any installation instructions
will work on FreeBSD? Leave it as a tar.gz, and install it with pkg_add,
or rpm?

The FreeBSD Handbook goes into great detail about how to brand elf
binaries, how to install specific software like Mathematica and Oracle,
but doesn't say how to install an ordinary Linux binary or how to install
Netscape.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

A sendmail config question

[stan]

I'm setting up a FreeBSD machine behind a firewall to recieve mail. Inside
teh firewall the machines are in a "fak" domain. The IP address that is on
the outside of the firewall is in a vaild DNS block.

Looking at the default freebsd.mc config file, I don't see anywhere to tell
sedmail to accept mail for the real domain. What am I missing?

Also how can I set up wildcarding, so that mail for that domain that does
not go to a valid user gets directed to a specifc user on that system?

Re: How do I install Netscape Linux binary on FreeBSD 4.3?

[T Kellers]

I think that's the wrong verfsion of linux-netscape, you probably need:

communicator-v48-us.x86-unknown-linux2.2.tar.gz
or 
navigator-v48-us.x86-unknown-linux2.2.tar.gz

both can be installed via the ports at /usr/ports/www/netscape48-communicator

or 

/usr/ports/www/netscape48-navigator

(if you have ports collection installed)

Note that the ports are supposed to work with the latest releases of the OS  
(currently 4.9 and 5.1); you may need to upgrade your OS to 4.9 to get any 
ports to run.   FreeBSD 5.1 is still a development release; if you upgrade 
stick to the FreeBSD 4.9 path.

Does

pkg_add netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz

work?

I have got the same problem, only the other way round:
Last week I managed to get my standalone print server with samba
and cups working, but I can't exactly tell how I did it, so you
can help me there  :-)
This is my smb.conf

---
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/12/29 08:09:35

# Global parameters
[global]
netbios name = SMALL
security = SHARE
passdb backend = guest
ldap ssl = no
hosts allow = 192.168.10.

[share]
path = /share
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

[hpdj]
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes



Everyone on my home network can print to my FreeBSD machine.
[share] is a share I just put up for testing purposes.
[hpdj] is the printer, just the way I set it up with cups for
local printing - no raw printer or anything like that.
/var/spool/samba
is a directory I put in myself. Its permissions are set to
drwxrwxrwt nobody nobody .

Ideas for this setup com from J. Terpstra (one of samba's
devellopers)
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/StandAloneServer.html

I am using samba3 compiled against cups on -CURRENT .

As I said it works, but I am not sure if this is everything one
needs to do.

Hope it helps,

Uli.

No, fortune isn't in there.  It's still in the main tree.  Is it maybe

You'll need to recompile your kernel without the driver, because you
can't have two drivers attached to the same hardware device at a time.
Then you may be able to load your driver.

But wouldn't a 3ware RAID be slower than an SCSI setup? Unless your
current setup is using old SCSI disks. Also how is the load? Lots of
simultaneous use or just many quick/small access (ie people using

Install on IBM X30

[Iavor Raytchev]

Hello,

I have an IBM X30 laptop without external CD or FDD - so I can't boot from
CD or FDD. I have also no network access to another computer. I can just
download the installation software form the FreeBSD web site. Is there a way
to install FreeBSD in such situation?

Randy Pratt advised me to see the Handbook section 2.13.4 "Installing from
an MS-DOS® Partition":

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media
.html

This sounds a perfect solution, but I still have one question - how do I
boot? In the Handbook I can find only description how to boot from external
media (FDD, CD). Is there a way to boot form the same HDD?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Iavor

You could try, but I don't think it will really help much.  Different

Sounds like you're working with an older version of FreeBSD.
[Please see Greg Lehey's "How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions" 
 http://www.lemis.com/questions.html ]

The ports aren't particularly intended to work with older versions,
and may depend on newer features (like some of the pthread modifications).

No, fortune isn't in there.  It's still in the main tree.  Is it maybe

/usr/games/fortune - ELF binary

Is /usr/games in your PATH?  (Unsure if this is the normal location for

8-bit color in XFree86

[Eric F Crist]

Hello again all, and Happy New Year!

I'm trying to configure a system for my buddy who has an nVidia 440 MX video 
card.  For some reason XFree86 will only do 8-bit color.  Anyone tell me how 
to get it to do 24-bit color?

TIA

It's the normal location -- that's where it's been since it entered
FreeBSD in the first place, back around 1994.  /usr/games is the
traditional BSD place from well before that.

unknown slowdown

[Simon Strandgaard]

In my wardrobe I have my noisy/fast server, to which I can connect via
the xdmcp protocol, either with my silent desktop machine or if im not
at home I can use ssh. It worked fluently for 6 months, but recently it
has become non-responsive and lagging. The network speed are 100Mbits
and I have killed all suspicius processes. I have even tried to restart
the server, but no luck. 

Over time the problem seems to get worse. But I cannot see any processes
which has went loose.

All you have to do is add the list of addresses (ie. the RHS part,
after the @ symbol) to the file /etc/mail/local-host-names, one per
line.  This file should list all of the addresses that your server
does final delivery for.

This is a job for virtusertable -- read about what you can do with
virtusertable funtionality in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README.  The
default FreeBSD configuration already includes virtusertable support,
so all you have to do is create a file /etc/mail/virtusertable into
which you put a line like the following:

@virtual-domain.com  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then run make in /etc/mail which will process that file into the db
hash file sendmail uses to do it's lookups.

Cheers,

Matthew

If I leave MOD_DAV out, it works, but I think I need that. The funny thing
is, the library with pthread_mutex_init IS IN /usr/local/lib!

netgraph.ko vs. compiled in.

[Bill Moran]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or intended behaviour.  If the behaviour is
intended, documentation improvements may be in order.
If I build a kernel with "options netgraph", in order to use mpd, netgraph.ko
is still loaded at boot (with an error) but mpd does not work.
If I build the kernel without netgraph, netgraph.ko loads, along with other
netgraph modules required for PPTP, and mpd works like a charm.
What I haven't tried yet, is compiling a kernel with all the options for all
the netgraph modules I'll need compiled in to see if that works.
This is FreeBSD 4.9.  Does anyone know if this is intended behaviour or a bug?
If it's intended behaviour, is it in the documentation and I just haven't seen
it?

Two things to check:

Does 'netstat -i' show any errors, either on your server or on your desktop?

   If so, then there's probably a fault somewhere in your networking
   setup.  It could be a simple as a network cable not plugged in
   properly or as bad as your switch/hub slowly giving up the ghost,
   or one of the NICs in one of the machines spiralling into oblivion.
   Best way to isolate the problem is to swap out the various parts
   with known good components.  Nb. with this sort of search, always
   start with the cheapest components: don't assume that eg. network
   cables are so simple nothing can go wrong with them...

Do both machines agree on the duplex settings for your network?

   Certain combinations of NIC and network switches seem to have
   trouble negotiating the duplex settings for the network.  This
   leads to a large number of dropped packets and the sort of symptoms
   you've described.  Comparing the ifconfig(8) output on both
   machines and the blinken lights on the switch will soon tell you if
   this is the problem.  Solve it by hardwiring the 'media' and
   'mediaopts' settings in the ifconfig lines in /etc/rc.conf

Cheers,

Matthew

You can't simultaneously load a .ko and have the same code compiled
into the kernel.

It's generally best either to kldload all of the netgraph modules you
require for this purpose or to compile them all into the kernel.  One
way, or the other, but not a mixture of both.

_I_ know that.  Tell it to whatever part of the system is trying to
load the kld.
I'm not saying that being unable to load a kld for a service that's
already compiled in is an error.  I'm saying the fact that mpd tries
to load the kld when it's already compiled in is the error.

I would go beyond "generally best" and straight into "it doesn't work".

My question is, "Is this fact documented somewhere, and I didn't see it?"
Because, if it's not, I'm going to put together a doc patch and file a PR.

/dev/sequencer missing - Midi support under 5.x

[Dany Nativel]

Searching the archives I found a previous thread 
(http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?3FA6C96D.3090502) talking about my 
problem.
Any progress on playing Midi files under 5.x ? My card uses the 
snd_DS1 module.

Kmidi is complaining about a missing /dev/sequencer (which I don't have 
in my /dev).

Thank you

5.2-RC2 customize questions

[J.D. Bronson]

I have installed 5.2RC2 on i386 and have all of it working well (including 
ACPI with HTT)

Since I am much more familiar with the 4.x flavor, is there any web area 
that explains the following:

1. it seems alot of startup was moved to /etc/rc.d...thats cool, but I dont 
see the connection as to how things in there are being invoked?

2. How can I get rid of the boot menu and boot 5.2 like 4.x ?

3. I built a custom kernel and chose to incorporate 'hints' within the 
kernel and that seems to work, but I noticed alot of modules still get 
built for devices I didnt include or list (like scsi and sound)...how can I 
effectively remove devices I dont have ?

..other than this (so far)..I am very pleased at the performance!

thanks.

I just can tell you that RCng was merged from NetBSD some months ago.

You can edit /boot/loader.rc and comment the line "include /boot/beastie.4th" 
and "beastie-start"

That's because modules are built together with the kernel not with the world. 
You can change this by adding the following to /etc/make.conf
"NO_MODULES=true"
or or and/or
"MODULES_WITH_WORLD=true"

Well then you seem to have very fast hardware. Regarding disk transfer and 
network speed there is plenty to do (see Greg Leheys latest measurements)

You can edit /boot/loader.rc and comment the line "include /boot/beastie.4th"

That's because modules are built together with the kernel not with the world.
You can change this by adding the following to /etc/make.conf
"NO_MODULES=true"
or or and/or
"MODULES_WITH_WORLD=true"

Well then you seem to have very fast hardware. Regarding disk transfer and
network speed there is plenty to do (see Greg Leheys latest measurements)
-Harry
umm. This is not good news? - I have dual machines that have Pentium4 
3.06ghz and run IDE 7200 rpm drives...I have not seen any loss of 
performance via network -or- IDE transfers. Things seem to really rock

Hmmm... I've seen people mention similar effects where various other
modules insisting on kldload'ing their dependencies even if they're
already in the kernel.  They pop up on various mailing lists over
time.  You may be right in saying "it doesn't work" -- but I have no
idea whether that is correct in all cases.  I get the feeling that
most people will go to great pains to prevent their kernel code doing
annoying things like that.

Of course, if you compile, say, netgraph into your kernel, your
buildkernel run shouldn't produce a separate netgraph.ko module.  If
there's one in /modules or wherever the equivalent is for 5.x then
it's a hangover from a previous kernel.  Chances are that if you get
rid of the old netgraph.ko then things may well work as you expect.

Cheers,

Matthew

DOS partition permissions.

[Eric F Crist]

Hey all,

How can I change the write permissions on DOS partitions?  I have tried a 
chmod 0777 /dev/ and chmod 0777 / and neither have any 
effect.  What am I doing wrong?  I'm trying to do this for a USB storage 
device and a DOS partition I use for sharing some files between FreeBSD and 
XP.

TIA

I did get this fixed from the XFree86 lists.  There is a DefaultDepth line

using multiple isc-dhcp servers?

[stan]

I have set up the isc-dhcp port on 2 machines. and it is serving addresses,
but I notice that whichever machine gives the lease is the only one that
records the lease in it's leases file.

This seems like a problem.

How can I configure this package to avoid this problem?

Yes, I imagine it is ;-)

You shouldn't have more than one DHCP server per broadcast domain
(unless you implement some sort of database sharing logic between them).
Because clients keep their leases for a period of time even if the DHCP
server dies, this isn't a service that typically calls for redundancy.

I think you should change permissions on the mount point before
mounting the device, no need to change it on /dev/device.

There no particular reason for an ATA RAID to be slower than SCSI, assuming
similar disks in each.  10krpm 'server class' ATA disks are available these
days, although I don't know that anyone has done a 15krpm one yet.

In any case, performance is only one reason to use RAID.  My arrays are
RAID-5's, serving developer home directories over NFS, and a CVS server
(ie. lots of small file accesses).  The main requirements were to have
some fault tolerance and to get the most out the of disks I could buy with
the available budget - hence the RAID-5.  Read performance is no worse than
with a single disk, and degrades more gracefully with multiple simultaneous
access.  Write performance is pretty awful, but that's the nature of
RAID-5.  No doubt if I had an unlimited budget I would do things
differently, but those days are long gone :-(

I'd also expect/hope that a hardware solution (ATA or SCSI) would be easier
to manage.  Vinum is great, but swapping out a dead drive is still a scary,
multi-step procedure, that I do infrequently enough that it always requires
half an hour with the manual and my notes from last time to make sure I get
it right.  With our Windows servers (Compaq Proliants with hardware RAID),
you just yank the old drive, plug in the new one, and it's done.  I'd love
to be able to do that with the FreeBSD servers as well.

It's almost impossible to guess what your problem is.  Obviously
shutdown works.  Did you install the boot selector?  Please:

1.  Shut down the machine (with shutdown, not halt).
2.  When you see "Press any key to reboot", turn the power off.
3.  Turn the power on.
4.  Describe *exactly* what happens.

No idea.  I haven't used any SATA stuff yet.  Would be surprised if it
didn't though.

Well, I won't disagree with any of that - ATA drives have been aimed at the
consumer market, which wants big & cheap in preference to performance &
reliability.  On the other hand, you've got drives like the WD 'Raptor'
that seem to be mechanically what you expect in a server-class SCSI drive,
but with a SATA interface, so the gap isn't that big anymore.  I stand by
my statement above though - there's no reason an ATA RAID implementation
_has_ to be slower than SCSI, provided that the disks are up to it.  In
practice though, suitable disks are only just now starting to appear.

> Write performance is awful locally, or over NFS?  NFS isn't exactly a 
> speed demon.

Locally - with RAID-5 you have the extra overhead of calculating the parity
for the block you just wrote, then writing that out to an other drive.
According to the Vinum docs, write performance is ~25% of read, although
how much of that is Vinum and how much is just the nature of RAID-5 I'm not
sure.

If you have source installed, that takes up a bit. If you don't see yourself 
doing a makeworld and building kernel - a binary install would have done

I don't think you need such big / and /var partitions...
And you could merge /home and /usr and make home dirs on /usr/home

I do have source installed, and I do a bi-weekly source update automatically 
when my laptop is home.  I like having the sources there.  Any other

Never mind.  I seem to have forgotten you can do a make clean from the

ISC dhcpd serve configuration question

[stan]

I'm still trying to get ISC dhcp to work in a "redundnat" fashion where I
have 2 machines, and they share an address pool. 

Here's where I am on this.

Well I thoguht I had it working for a minute. 

The executbale is _really_ picky about the syntax od the config file, and I
found some help at:

http://www.lithodyne.net/docs/dhcp/dhcp-4.html#ss4.3

So, I wound up with this on the master machine:


# dhcpd.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd
#

# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "fas.com";
option domain-name-servers 205.159.77.224, 205.159.77.225;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
authoritative;

# ad-hoc DNS update scheme - set to "none" to disable dynamic DNS updates.
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
option domain-name "fas.com";
ddns-domainname "fas.com";

zone fas.com. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
}

# Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also
# have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection).
# log-facility local7;

# No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the 
# DHCP server to understand the network topology.

subnet 10.152.187.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}


failover peer "pool" {
 primary;
 address black.fas.com;
 port 519;
 peer address cindy.fas.com;
 peer port 520;
 split 128;
 max-response-delay 60;
 max-unacked-updates 10;
 mclt 3600;
 load balance max seconds 3;
   }

subnet 205.159.77.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
pool {
failover peer "pool";
range 205.159.77.50 205.159.77.75;
deny dynamic bootp clients;
}
option routers 205.159.77.234;
}

And this on the slave:


# dhcpd.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd
#

# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "fas.com";
option domain-name-servers 205.159.77.224, 205.159.77.225;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
authoritative;

# ad-hoc DNS update scheme - set to "none" to disable dynamic DNS updates.
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
option domain-name "fas.com";
ddns-domainname "fas.com";

zone fas.com. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
}

# Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also
# have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection).
# log-facility local7;

# No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the 
# DHCP server to understand the network topology.

subnet 10.152.187.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}


failover peer "pool" {
 secondary;
 address cindy.fas.com;
 port 519;
 peer address black.fas.com;
 peer port 520;
 max-response-delay 60;
 max-unacked-updates 10;
 mclt 3600;
 load balance max seconds 3;
   }

subnet 205.159.77.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
pool {
failover peer "pool";
range 205.159.77.50 205.159.77.75;
deny dynamic bootp clients;
}
option routers 205.159.77.234;
}

And both sides started up OK. But when I booted one of the OpenBSD machines
as a client it failed to get an address.

Looking at tcpdump it _si_ a bootp packet that it sends, so I'm wondering
if this line is the problem?


deny dynamic bootp clients;

Any ideas?

Printing Problems

[Kurt D. McCullum]

I am running FreeBSD 5.1 with the CUPS print server. I am having some problems 
with my printer and I was wondering if anyone had seen this before. 

I am using an old HP DeskJet 1200C/PS.  I have it setup with CUPS and I can 
print without any problems. But, when I try to print anything with graphics 
in it the job takes a long time to complete. For example, when printing a 
1.2mb jpeg file it takes almost two hours to print. Text prints without a 
problem and small graphics don't slow it down too much. Do I need to change 
some settings or is this printer just really slow?

Re: using multiple isc-dhcp servers?

Right.  If you want them to know about each other, you need to
configure that.  See the descriptions of "failover" in the
dhcpd.conf(5) manual.

> This seems like a problem.

Not unless both servers are serving addresses out of the same pool.
Obviously, that *would* be a problem.  

If one hands out (for example) 10.0.0.3 through 10.0.0.127 and the
other hands out 10.0.0.128 through 10.0.0.254, then there's no problem
at all.  You can have the second one respond more slowly by using the
min-secs statement in its configuration.

> How can I configure this package to avoid this problem?

If you want the failover support, then you can set that up (I've never
done it, but it looks reasonably simple when I read the manual).  

It's probably not worth setting up two servers, though.  If you have a
reasonable gap between the renew time (when the clients start looking
for a new lease) and the end of the lease (when the clients have to
stop using their old lease), then you have a fair amount of breathing
time to get the server fixed.

It's an artifact of the way the data structures get initialized at the

How do you know that the packet is BOOTP?  BOOTP and DHCP use the same
protocol type, so tcpdump(1) (for example) won't be able to
distinguish between them.

Did the server respond at all?

OK, I just was going by what the tcpdump said.

So, the line should just prevent bootp clients from getting a lease, right?
>

The client nver got a lease, at all. I don't believe I saw a reply in the
tcpdump.

Can I bump up the debuging level on the server?

Instead of typing a key on the keyboard when you see that message, if you

off without having to use the power button, do as Dany suggests below and  
use 'shutdown -p now.'

It's almost impossible to guess what your problem is.  Obviously
shutdown works.  Did you install the boot selector?  Please:
1.  Shut down the machine (with shutdown, not halt).
2.  When you see "Press any key to reboot", turn the power off.
3.  Turn the power on.
4.  Describe *exactly* what happens.

to turn the power off automatically, you should use :  shutdown -p now
instead of the -h which gives you this message.

Try `make -DNOCLEANDEPENDS clean` instead, it'll run much quicker.

Dvorak keymap in single user mode

I use the US Dvorak keyboard layout, and I find it very difficult to 
type in single user mode (when installing world, for example), because 
single user mode uses the QWERTY keyboard layout, and does not seem to

Someone suggested that it's possible to compile the Dvorak layout into

keyboard layout in single user mode?

The source for 5.2-RC runs about 375 Mb.
Try this:

cd /usr
du | sort -nr

and see if any directories are suspiciously large.  (This is
sufficiently useful I have it as a cron job that drops it in my
morning mail.)
Also check for core dumps:

find /usr -name "*.core"

Okay, made some progress here.

Finally noticed that kbdmap says, quite clearly,

*BUGS* 

The *kbdmap* and *vidfont* utilities work only on a (virtual) console and not
with X11.
The single user mode is not a virtual console, as virtual consoles are 
not permitted to run during single user mode.

However, the command-line (non-interactive) equivalent is kbdcontrol, 
and it seems to suffer no such limitation.

So, once in single user mode, type

   mount -a

to make sure that /usr is mounted (needed because it contains the 
keymaps), and then type

   df

to check that the filesystems are mounted. (Actually, you may not need 
all of them.)

If /usr is now showing up, type

   kbdcontrol -l us.dvorak

and you will be reunited with the (cough... superior... cough) Dvorak 
keyboard layout.

This can be done with any of the available layout files in

   /usr/share/syscons/keymaps

However, never happy with a simple option, I wonder if there's an easy 
(read lazy) option... is it possible to automate this process, so that 
this command is run by default? (Or is that inadvisable because it 
requires /usr to be available, and /usr should not necessarily be 
available in single user mode everytime?)

I don't think you need such big / and /var partitions...
And you could merge /home and /usr and make home dirs on /usr/home

Advice- leave /var and / the size they are, they're fine if the box 
stays up as a server and runs any public services- apache logs and even 
messages log files can fill up /var relatively quickly, and if you add a 
database or any other service that can potentially log verbosely if it 
encounters any problems (or if you enable debug logging), /var can grow 
quickly.

If you routinely delete rotated log files, and grow /usr to be 'big 
enough' (meaning don't merge it into / ), you can probably get away with 
half of what you're using for / and /var, but I wouldn't go smaller.

You can migrate /home if need be as suggested into /usr/home and update 
your home dirs in /etc/passwd, or you can also move the entire ports 
tree into your /home partition via symlink, which may sound funny but it 
a bit more 'traditional' on other *nixes- keeping generally static 
programs only in the /usr partition, and normally growing/changing 
contents in seperate disks (/var, /home).  The ports collection and size 
is changing by nature, and sometimes significantly (building X, KDE, 
OpenOffice, Mozilla and others from source).

You can do the following if you'd like:
mkdir /home/ports
cd /usr/ports
tar cpf - . | (cd /home/ports ; tar xvf - )
to copy the ports tree over to it's new 'home' (bad pun), then:

diff -R /usr/ports /home/ports
for your sanity, but unnescessary unless someone is doing a cvsup or 
build while you're copying files..

Then go ahead and blow away the original ports tree:
rm -fr /usr/ports
and symlink to it's new home

ln -s /home/ports /usr/ports

My ports tree is currently taking up ~715M: (Ignore the df output, 
home/mail/ports are currently on a single RAID volume via NFS), with the 
/usr filesystem at 2.8G with a fair number of packages installed, but no 
KDE, GNOME, etc, so it can grow by a fair amount yet...

Can't shutdown, logout, or restart cleanly

[Trey Sizemore]

I am running 5.2-CURRENT on my PII-400 desktop.  I have done 3 installs 
of FreeBSD each time cvsupping to 5.2 current (using ISOs for 5.1 and 
5.2) to do the initial install.

EVERY time I get the following problem.  When I try to logout, reboot, 
or shutdown the machine from X, the machine locks up (no mouse or 
keyboard response) and I have to do a cold reboot.  I am presented with 
the black text screen seen during bootup right before it launches X 
(sorry, don't know what to call it) with my

login:

prompt (again, no response from keyboard or mouse input...it's like X 
shuts down entirely and then the machine locks trying to go to the next 
step).  This happens whether I use xdm, kdm, or gdm.  I have seen other 
posts with some similar symptoms refer to ACPI and disabling this (I 
can't find the entry in my BIOS to turn this off).  It's an old Asus P2B 
motherboard.  I'm not even sure it's the problem, but I'm willing to 
look at anything!

I really want to use FreeBSD, but having to do constant cold restarts 
when I shutdown or try to switch users is going to get old fast (not to 
mention the eventual damage to my files...even though I've got soft 
updates enabled;) )

I will provide any additional input I can, I realize it's not much to go 
on now, but hopefully those more knowledgeable than me can guide me to 
some things to look at to figure out why this is happening.

Thanks.

My /home is a link to /usr/home.  Isn't yours?
If it IS (notwithstanding your creation of a /home partition), that 
would explain why you have only 69M in /home but 3.9G in /usr.

The two partitions appear to be adjacent.  If they are, Partition Magic 
(or similar) could merge those two partitions non-destructively, and 
your problem would be solved.

BTW, on my system, I have separate partitions for /usr/local and /usr.  
That seems to even the disk space usage quite well.

Re: Dvorak keymap in single user mode

[Robert Downes]

Reply to myself again, just to make sure this thread can be of use to 
anyone searching archives at any point in the future.

Stéphane Witzmann suggested that the kernel configuration be altered to 
specify a default keyboard.

So, after checking NOTES and the name of the keyboard map I want 
(us.dvorak), I changed my custom kernel configuration file (BOBKERN) so 
that it now contains a section exactly like this:

# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device  atkbdc  # AT keyboard controller
device  atkbd   # AT keyboard
options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=us.dvorak # use Dvorak key layout
Once this was built and installed (see the handbook for advice on custom 
kernel building), I booted into single user mode and, hallelujah, it is 
now in Dvorak layout by default.

Thanks to Stéphane.

There no particular reason for an ATA RAID to be slower than SCSI, assuming

Does SATA have tagged queing?   (I don't know offhand if it does...?)
   

No idea.  I haven't used any SATA stuff yet.  Would be surprised if it
didn't though.
It doesn't look like it does, although it's supposedly on the way with 
SATA-II, but see below...

 

I can guarantee modern SCSI throughput is superior to any of the SATA 
drives I've seen to date.  Several of the 'hardware sites' (I think 
Tomshardware did a writeup on this or anadtech among others) agree with 
this statement as well.  ATA specs tend to exaggerate their capabilities 
even worse than SCSI specs do- burst speeds are all fine and dandy, but 
not realistic at all in the real world.  Meaning basically in short I 
wouldn't choose SATA over SCSI for a production server of any kind where 
speed was an issue.  ATA has gotten better by far than it was 
speed-wise, and I'd be OK with it on a personal workstation for any 
purpose, but it's still playing catchup.
   

Well, I won't disagree with any of that - ATA drives have been aimed at the
consumer market, which wants big & cheap in preference to performance &
reliability.  On the other hand, you've got drives like the WD 'Raptor'
that seem to be mechanically what you expect in a server-class SCSI drive,
but with a SATA interface, so the gap isn't that big anymore.  I stand by
my statement above though - there's no reason an ATA RAID implementation
_has_ to be slower than SCSI, provided that the disks are up to it.  In
practice though, suitable disks are only just now starting to appear.
I did some digging on this, mainly because I remember reading a specific 
article.  The WD Raptor really IS pretty impressive, I've got to admit.  
Some benchmarks for single disks compared to an Atlas IV 10K RPM SCSI 
disk at Tom's Hardware:
http://www20.tomshardware.com/storage/20030501/wd360-01.html

So, it looks like things may actually become 'more interesting' over the 
next year or two basically.  I used to like WD drives quite a bit, but 
have also had a fair number of them die within a few years (as well as 
other IDE/ATA desktop drives), be interesting to see if they can offer 
the warrantees and constant uptime of SCSI drives over time...(some of 
the SATA drives only have 1yr warrantees, where 5yrs is pretty standard 
for SCSI..)

Pricing for the Raptor 36GB versus U320 SCSI 36GB drives is pretty 
comparable (raptors ~$130, Seagate SCA 10K U320 SCSI for ~$135 via 
pricewatch), but the larger SATA drives are still only 7200RPM, where 
you can get 15K RPM SCSI drives.

From what I can tell, one of the current problems aside from spindle 
speeds for SATA is that they are exactly that- serial connections that 
can't be chained, so effectively need one channel per disk.  For home 
workstations, that's fine with two channels, and better yet with a cheap 
controller that will do hardware disk striping, but doesn't do much 
compared to SCSI and fiber channel RAID enclosures holding 10-14 drives 
each.  I've seen 4 channel SATA controllers, which can just barely do 
RAID-5 reasonably (2 data, 1 parity, 1 hot spare, effective, not 
physical), and it does look like 8 channel controllers are available, 
possibly a bit less than their SCSI RAID counterparts.  I was pretty 
impressed- check out the CPU utilization during the benchmarks...ignore 
the other ATA and SATA drives, but look at SCSI and the WD Raptor- ~2% 
CPU utilization while pushing a _lot_ of data (opposed to 20%+ for other 
ATA drives..)

Anyways, it will really be interesting to see if the SATA drives can 
last long-term and then compare 'em against 15-20K RPM SCSI RAID or if 
Serial SCSI is in a year or so- one of the interesting points is that 
SCSI using a shared bus, has an effective max of 320MB/second for each 
bus, which in turn can be up to 15 drives on each, where SATA, being 
serial, has it's limit per channel, but containing a single drive.  If 
the SATA drives can be made in reasonable capacities at 15K (or the next 
generation speeds) with a controller capable of handling 15 disks (or 
more), that could potentially become a real threat to SCSI.

 

Write performance is awful locally, or over NFS?  NFS isn't exactly a 
speed demon.
   

Locally - with RAID-5 you have the extra overhead of calculating the parity
for the block you just wrote, then writing that out to an other drive.
According to the Vinum docs, write performance is ~25% of read, although
how much of that is Vinum and how much is just the nature of RAID-5 I'm not
sure.
Yep- part of the problem with software RAID.  On a non-heavily loaded 
server it's not an issue, as you might as well use the CPU cycles, but 
on a loaded database server,

One of the suggested setups is to provide home with its own partition.
And even though you don't use it it is not so uncommon.

This sounds like a disaster --- partition magic works with MS
partitions or in FBSD terms slices -- to the best I my knowledge it does
not know about BSD style partitions.

I'd also be very surprised if it is able to merge BSD file systems 
non-destructively.

I'm almost positive it doesn't.  Partition Magic also needs to 
understand the underlying filesystem, not just the partition table, as 
almost any operation aside from expanding a single partition on a disk 
with only one partition plus unused space would result in actually 
moving data around..   PM 8.0 (should be the latest I believe) can't 
touch Linux ReiserFS, so I'd be highly surprised if it understood UFS2.
