Re: Mail server?
Howdy, configuration has always seemed pretty straight-forward. If I stay with sendmail, should I download and compile from sources? You should always use the ports collection, or a package, for what it's worth. By the way, if you think sendmail configuration is straightforward, I don't think there's much MTA software out there that could still scare you, not even qmail :P If you choose to go with sendmail, you should use the base-system's. It's pretty up to date with critical patches and the like. I personally deprecated sendmail ages ago, for two mai reasons: - it's a cruft, one big old leviathan and delivers mail at according speed - its security history I know both points are arguable and I don't want to troll off another holy MTA war here, just saying that these two points did it for me. I personally prefer Postfix, which is also used by the mail-servers at FreeBSD.org. The UCE blocking support offered by it is pretty good, and configuration is straightforward. You don't even need to remove the base-system's MTA, just tweak rc.conf and mailer.conf and you're up and away. I couldn't agree more. Postfix is fast, flexible and way secure and its configuration and general handling isn't as messy as qmail's. For the most part, all you have to worry about is one central config file and it aims to integrate well into a system replacing sendmail. Try it.

DMA problem with DVD drive
Hi there, I am not able to enable DMA for my DVD drive. When I issue 'atacontrol mode 1 UDMA100 XXX' and access the drive, first the drive access hangs, and after a view seconds the machine locks up completely. This also hold true for all other DMA modes.

BTW: I know that DMA works for this drive.

IBM Tivoli TSM-client (5.x) under FreeBSD?

FreeBSD 4.9 with ICP Vortex Raid Controller GDT8586RZ and disk array with 980 GB
Hello, I have a problem with doing newfs on FreeBSD 4.9 with iir raid driver. My server works fine until I want to use the whole disk space of my raid 5 system with round about 980GB. A reduced disk space at round about 480GB works fine but I'am not able to bring FreeBSD setup to work with disk space bigger than that. During the installation the newfs command don't come to an end. So does anyone know a limitation of the newfs command. Do I have to use an other command than newfs during setup and how is the way to call it. I get a strange message at the beginning of the fdisk programm that I have to correct the physical architecture of the disk (cyl/sec(heads). Do I have to correct it really manually and how do I find the correct one's ? Thanks for help.

I can not boot my FreeBSD-5.2 partition, please help
Hello, I've got a 40 GBytes hard disk on an old Pentium MMX 266 MHz. The first time I plugged it into the motherboard my BIOS didn't recognize the drive, but fortunately there is a jumper that reduces the size of the disk to 32 GBytes, and that's enough for my BIOS at this moment. So I've got something like this: 10 GBytes for Windows 2000 10 GBytes for Linux 10 GBytes for FreeBSD-5.2 The big problem is that the FreeBSD boot manager that I've got installed on my MBR is only able to boot the Windows partition. So, for booting Linux I've got a 1.44 booting disk. How can I do the same for booting the FreeBSD-5.2 partition ? Do I have other posibilities ? Any help will be kindly appreciated, but not tell me buy another hard disk...buy another puter.. I love my puter, ok ?

In Windows, the end of a line is represented by the carriage return and the new line characters. Unix uses only the new line character. Although the carriage return is usually keyed as '\r', I've noticed that it appears as ^M in certain editors. One of the safest ways to convert between Windows and Unix formats is to use the unix2dos port at /usr/ports/converters/unix2dos. The port installs the executable files unix2dos and dos2unix. To convert a Windows file to Unix (to remove ^M from the end of each line, execute: dos2unix filename To convert a Unix file to Windows (to add ^M to the end of each line), execute: unix2dos filename This way, you will not risk mistyping code that is gibberish to non-scripters.

I always use tr(1) to do that, eg say your Microsloth file is myfile.txt do this: tr -d \r myfile.txt myfile Then you have a file called 'myfile' without the extra ^M-s which are Carriage Return (CR) characters identified with the \r in the command. You can also use dos2unix if you have it installed. But tr comes with FreeBSD by default.

From malloc() most probably.
Check the value of MAXDSIZ in your kernel config, or use limits -d to
find out
that the default maximum data size for any process is 512Megs.
Sure enough, limits -d says 512M. The core dump was 480M so maybe it
blew up on attempt to allocate a bunch more.
Didn't find any mention of these limits mentioned in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ but
find /usr/src/sys -type f -exec grep -l MAXDSIZ {} \; turned up
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES which had more stuff that I had not seen
including examples of how to set the default and the absolute max.
So have launched a build with limits set to 1GB and will see how that
fares.

FreeBSD-5.1 LMTP problem with sendmail-8.12.10 and cyrus-2.1.16
Hello, I write here because I Am really clueless. there is a probem I have since a very long time which I Am not able to solve. I have now sendmail-8.12.10 and cyrus-2.1.16 I have all the time a Connection refused to localhost error like if the /var/imap/socket/lmtp cannot be opened by sendmail but the file permissions are correct that is root:cyrus. mailer=cyrusv2, relay=localhost, dsn=4.4.1, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by localhost sometimes I have another error: mailer=cyrusv2, pri=35544, relay=localhost, dsn=4.3.5, stat=Deferred: No such file or directory but this has not a specific reason, it depends from time to time. I Can reboot the system and it works or it just give me the above errors. Once the system starts up with no error cyrus and sendmail will work flawlessy, once I Reboot and the error above does occour sendmail+cyrus won't ever work. THe same things of course happens starting cyrus and sendmail by hand and killing them and restart them again, sometimes works sometimes not. This is a problem because my mailserver has to serve for 500 users. All the settings are corrects at my eyes here are the directory permissions for cyrus: /var/imap drwxr-xr-x 3 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 13 11:33 certs drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 db drwx-- 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 db.backup1 drwx-- 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:08 db.backup2 drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jul 8 2003 db.backup3 -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus 15663104 Jan 16 11:18 deliver.db drwxr-xr-x 3 cyrus cyrus 1024 Dec 16 2002 deliverdb drwxr-xr-x 3 cyrus cyrus 1024 Dec 16 2002 deliverdb.old drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 log drwxr-xr-t 2 cyrus cyrus 9728 Dec 16 2002 lost+found -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus 36720 Dec 16 2002 mailboxes -rw--- 1 root wheel 36720 Jan 8 2003 mailboxes.OK -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus229376 Jan 16 11:17 mailboxes.db -rw--- 1 root wheel172032 Jan 8 2003 mailboxes.db.OK -rw--- 1 root wheel163840 Dec 16 2002 mailboxes.db.bck -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus163840 Dec 16 2002 mailboxes.db.old drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 msg drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 14336 Jan 16 11:18 proc drwxr-xr-x 28 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 quota drwxr-xr-x 28 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 sieve drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 socket -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus65 Dec 16 2002 ssrvtab -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus737280 Jan 16 11:18 tls_sessions.db drwxr-xr-x 27 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 user here is /var/imap/socket drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 . drwxr-xr-x 17 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 .. -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus0 Jan 16 10:47 imap-0.lock -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus0 Jan 16 10:47 imaps-0.lock srwxrwxrwx 1 root cyrus0 Jan 16 11:09 lmtp -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus0 Jan 16 11:00 lmtp-0.lock -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus0 Jan 16 11:09 lmtpunix-0.lock -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus0 Jan 16 10:47 pop3-0.lock -rw--- 1 cyrus cyrus0 Jan 16 10:49 pop3s-0.lock the /var/imap/socket/lmtp file is created by cyrus so I cannot understand why sendmail gives me errors, I Really cannot figure out the permissions are just fine.

Sometimes the problem disappears and sendmail+cyrus works, sometimes it comes out. At the end I could solve the problem with this sendmail configuration: Mcyrusv2, P=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver, F=lsDFMnqXzA@/:|m, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, E=\r\n, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, U=cyrus:cyrus, A=deliver -e -m $h -- $u so I Call directly the deliver program and I have no problem anymore. I do not know why when I use lmtp I run always in the Connection to localhost refused and sometimes I run into No such file or directory but this happens randomly. I am running sendmail+cyrus on FreeBSD-5.1 could it be a problem due to FreeBSD softupdates ? I have soft updates enabled on the /var/imap and /var/spool/imap partition. THe partition is on a RAID10 storage system. Could someone pelase give me at least some hints which could help me to solve the problem? I had the same problem also on a standard no-RAID disk always FreeBSD. I also tryed O DefaultUser=cyrus:cyrus for sendmail but also this did not help me.

I like to leave it in the winxp box. I dont know if this matters but my internet ip is dynamic. I cant purchase any hardware. if this is possible, I would like to know what I have to configure and/or install in the freebsd box to make this work. Also I would apreciate to either an explanation or pointers to documentation that help me configure and/or install everything that I will need.

Upon plying deeper into the problem I noticed that the ahc0 driver (which is the correct driver for my Adaptec AIC-7880) is saying that that there is an illegal configuration where there are more than two controllers attached to the cable (or something to that effect, unfortunately the machine is not in front of me). I remove the CDROM from the SCSI cable and still got the same message. Is there something I can do in the kernel configuration that would solve this? I also notice that IRQ15, where the SCSI is attached, is being used by an ATA /ATAPI driver. Is this correct? I don't know whether this helps but I've installed FedoraCore1 on this same machine with no problem - I would assume this leans towards the fact that there may be no hardware/BIOS problem.

No, it's neither Linux nor BSD derived. BIND is developed by the Internet Software Consortium (http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/), and they are the people responsible for that decision. Most Unix vendors ship ISC Bind code and applications standard with their OSes, plus there are quite a few shrink-wrap products based on ISC code, which explains why nslookup(1) has been such a long time a-dying. FreeBSD uses a pretty straight port of ISC BIND to provide named(8), host(1), dig(1) etc., (but AFAIK doesn't use the straight BIND resolver code in libc) -- so nslookup(1) will disappear from FreeBSD when ISC releases (and then FreeBSD imports) a BIND version without it. Same probably goes for most Linux distributions.

Re: I can not boot my FreeBSD-5.2 partition, please help
On Jan 16 at 12:30, Juan Rodriguez Hervella spoke: Hello, I've got a 40 GBytes hard disk on an old Pentium MMX 266 MHz. The first time I plugged it into the motherboard my BIOS didn't recognize the drive, but fortunately there is a jumper that reduces the size of the disk to 32 GBytes, and that's enough for my BIOS at this moment. So I've got something like this: 10 GBytes for Windows 2000 10 GBytes for Linux 10 GBytes for FreeBSD-5.2 The big problem is that the FreeBSD boot manager that I've got installed on my MBR is only able to boot the Windows partition. Hello Juan, I assume that you have installed all OSes on primary partitions, if not you should mention it. FreeBSD's bootmanager has an option `packet' which is required to boot from cylinder 1023. Unfortunately it is set off by default. There are two (or more) possibilities to recover. 1. install the FreeBSD bootmanager into MBR and Lilo/Grub into the Linux partition (/dev/hda2). In order to install the FreeBSD bootmanager with the packet option you should boot the FreeBSD recovery disk. This is the second disk. And then choose Fixit from the install menu. After you have the root prompt issue the following command: boot0cfg -vB -o packet /dev/ad0 (This assumes you have a IDE disk.) 2. launch the Linux recovery CD/floppy and setup Lilo or Grub accordingly. You would need to install it in the MBR (/dev/hda) and create entries for Windows and FreeBSD as well. -Hanspeter ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But to be helpful: open the network and internet connections control panel on the xp machine, right click the dial-up networking account you use, choose properties, select the tab marked sharing and enable internet sharing, and dial-on-demand if you wish. Your FreeBSD machine should be set to use dhcp for the network card. It'll work fine. If both machines have network cards, connect them via a hub or switch and use standard RJ45 cables, or plug them into each other directly with a crossover ethernet cable. A normal ethernet cable will not work. Reboot the FreeBSD machine, and it will get an address in the range 192.168.1.0/24 from the xp machine. It will be able to access the internet via the xp machine.

Keep in mind that some older CD-ROMs drives and older PC bios do not support booting off CD-ROM. Generally with PC manufactured after 1999 this is not the problem. BIOS is old so the old boot option I have is floppy. The SCSI BIOS had a boot option, which I tried. That failed however, and brought error codes from the PC BIOS because it moved the floppy drive to B: and took over the a: slot. When FreeBSD attempts to boot the machine, ahc0 driver (for the Adaptec AIC-7880 controller) is loaded but throws the weirdest error: ahc0: Illegal Configuration. Only two connectors on the adapter can be used at one time. which means nothing to me. Does anyone know what it is asking for?

Hi. When I boot into FreeBSD, my computer restarts itself and tries to boot into it again. I am running FreeBSD 5.1. Recently I would start the computer, boot into FreeBSD, it would restart itself around where it begins to load loader.conf and then starts to boot up again. After it does that about 2 times it would load FreeBSD. Last night it would not boot into it at all. Do you think it's a hardware problem? Also, when I load KDE it says that it cannot find device/dev/dsp for sound. I tried loading the soundcard by typing kldload snd_sb16.ko but it doesn't seem like that solved the problem.

Thanks, David I was seeing this on my Dell Latitude notebook from a couple of years ago (C600). I found that the problem went away when I switched off either ACPI or device apic, so it looks like it's basically an interrupt problem of some sort. I'm running with the r128 kernel module for DRI, and John Baldwin suggested that it might be part of the problem. I've also been experiencing continuing ATA problems, so it may well be that a combination of ACPI and apic changes has resulted in improper handling/routing/... of interrupts on the box. You might want to check and see if there are any BIOS upgrades available for your system -- as ACPI support evolves, older systems with more questionable ACPI sometimes work less well. A number of vendors have released BIOS updates to address this.

Odd lag/hanging issue with production ftp server - Please help AS AP!
I have been struggling with this one for over a month now. Here is a quick layout of my setup: Primary FTP server: Compaq DL380 1gb ram FreeBSD 4.5 3x36gb RAID 5 drives as local boot/storage ProFTPd Array server for FTP: AMD Athlon 2200 512mb ram FreeBSD 4.8 7x36gb Fiber channel drives, RAID 5 via Vinum. Both machines are connected via a cross-over cable, that has been tested good and swapped just in case. The primary storage for FTP is done on the Fiber drives via nfs from FTP to Array server. NFS options are -U -3. My problem is this. As more users connect and store files, the primary FTP machine becomes increasingly unresponsive. Currently, I max at about 350 concurrent FTP connections. The most basic test I have been doing is just holding down enter on an SSH session. As you hold enter down, you see it visually just hang for a second or more (up to about 5 seconds depending on the load). It is even worse if I spam df -k for example. For part of the time, it responds fine, though its randomly a second to multiple seconds. In other words, it is randomly responsive and not responsive every 5 seconds or so. During the hanging time, ftp sessions are also hung. So you see very bursty data transfers. Now thankfully, no ftp sessions drop, so we do get the data we need. But this is a terrible thing to be happening to a production server. One other thing of note, this happened to me about 4-5 months ago, but a reboot eventually fixed it for some reason. So I concluded it was just a hiccup. But it has returned after a different reboot, and won't go away. Also, if I move the ftp logins to the local drives (which I can't do permanently due to lack of space) there is no problem at all, no lag. Any help in troubleshooting this is very appreciated!

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
