Possible bug in /usr/bin/script? (was A Sleeping FreeBSD Box (again).)

As a result the box does not respond to anything, like pinging? Or does top has a weird way of showing the cpu times when it has been sleeping? While i still find it rather weird, that pressing Enter seems to solve it. I hope someone can send some advice or hints my way. Regards, Nick While trying to find out what is eating my CPU and probably making my box sleep. I've found something weird with /usr/bin/script. Assume the following small sh script called sleep.sh. #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do sleep 3 echo slept done I'm executing the following: script outputfile ./sleep.sh Executed from a terminal window, all is as i would have expected. No CPU hogging and doing like it should. However if i execute it from cron, my CPU is used to the full 100%. Is this a bug and should i report it?

Re: Problem setting up PPTP server
Hi, I solved the problem, and I'll post the resolution for reference purposes. There were two configuration issues: 1) To enable MPPE encryption the encryption option on the bundle should be DISABLED, since MPPE lives in the compression layer and not the encryption layer; thus by commenting the set bundle enable encryption and set bundle enable crypt-reqd lines, this problem was solved. 2) Since the client (a linux ppp client) had the option require-mppe-128 enabled, the server got a config request for 128 bit MPPE stateless, but then rejected it. The reason for this was the set ccp enable mppc line, which should have read set ccp yes mppc since otherwise the accept flag is disabled. Finally, I have not found a way to force MPPE encryption on the *server* side. There seems to be no equivalent to require-mppe-128 or set bundle enable comp-reqd or something like that in mpd. Does anybody know a way to require MPPE in mpd? Regards, Sebastiaan Sebastiaan van Erk wrote: Hi, I'm trying to set up mpd (3.18) on a FreeBSD server to allow windows and linux clients to connect.

The server process is somewhat different for a inetd daemon as it recieves on socket 0 instead after it starts. It creates a socket for further communication after it retries the initial UDP packet sent. It sucessfully sends the first packet on this socket but it doesn't recv ack's for the packet though tcpdump see's them come in. The recv timesout and then it resends the first packet. The only thing I can think of is that inetd must initialize it's sockets in some special way to recieve from 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 is bogus; it's considered a Martian address.

If I remove g-wrap, my gnucash2 immediately refuses to run. And I know libpcap was an option I selected for NTop. There are others as well. I have noticed that a `make pretty-print-run-depends-list` is empty for gnucash2. Is that significant? Why would these not be +REQUIRED_BY something? `pkgdb -F` doesn't mention anything at all.

Dell usually ship their machines with a small partition at the front of the drive (at least, they did last time I received one). That partition is at an odd offset and didn't agree with the FBSD partition editor: I found this out the hard way. Things may have changed since then; I usually nuke the dell partition anyway. I have never had to correct any partition/slice alignment when using the standard FreeBSD install. I ignore that Diagnostic slice that Dell puts on - just leave it there as slice 1, leave MS there as slice 2 and put FreeBSD on slice 3 - or sometimes I put a FAT32 on as slice 3 to use for communication if the MS is NTFS, and then put FreeBSD on slice 4. There has never been any problem with any alignment or offset. I shrink the MS-Win slice(primary partition) down with Partition Magic and use that to define the 1 (or 2) extra primary partition(s) (2 if I add that fst32) and then use the standard FreeBSD fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs either directly or through sysinstall to define the slices, mark the FreeBSD slice bootable, divide the FreeBSD slice in to partitions and build filesystems on the FreeBSD partitions. If I make the fat32 slice, I leave that alone because nothing else needs to be done to read/write it in MS-DOS mode. jerry jan PS. I should say that my bad experience with the partition editor is a few years old; I've not tried again recently with new Dell kit.

mysq/php/blowfish (was vtiger/mysql/encryption)
I figured that must have something to do with the way MySQL stores and php encrypts/decrypts data. I used mysqldump and saw that the passwords in MySQL are stored as Blowfish hashes, and I suspect that php uses a different algorithm when it tries to authenticate against the mysql database. As a result I can never log in, since passwords don't match. Is there a way to force php to use Blowfish? In php.ini there is session.hash_function variable, but the only two possible options are MD5 and SHA-1. And I am not even sure that this is the problem. Any clues? Thanks in advance, Michael --- Michael S [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good day all. I am trying to get the vtiger CRM going on two machines with varying success. I installed all the software packages required by vtiger: php5, mysql50-server and client, and the latest apache version 2, all with exactly the same compile options. I also made all the necessary adjustments to mysql, php and apache configuration files. I grabbed the compressed archive from vtiger.com and extracted it under my Apache document root. The web-based setup went smoothly, on both machines. However after the setup was done and it was time to test the CRM, I was able to go past the login screen (claiming I typed the wrong password) on one of the machines, but not on the other one. I tried the setup procedure various times on the second machine, but no luck. The only two differences between the two machines (software wise of course) is that the machine I was able to get vtiger to work is a 5.5-RELEASE, while the other one is a 6.1-p10. The second difference is that the 5.5 machine uses md5 for passwords, and 6.1 blowfish. I know that this question doesn't pertain particularly to FreeBSD, but maybe people who installed the usual php/apache/mysql under FreeBSD (which isn't uncommon) have experienced something similar.

Ditto if the bsd boot manager hands me off to the windows boot manager and gives me both choices. My concern...and I was going to write the group and ask...is that bsd's manager only returns one of the windows systems. What do you think, please? Well, I am losing track a little, but one thing may be relevant and that is that you must install an MBR on each of the disks that will have a bootable slice - not just the one with the bootable FreeBSD slice. This in installed by FreeBSD fdisk with the -B flag and the drive as a parameter. If you don't have an MBR on the drive, it will ignore any bootable slices on that drive. jerry Dell usually ship their machines with a small partition at the front of the drive (at least, they did last time I received one). That partition is at an odd offset and didn't agree with the FBSD partition editor: I found this out the hard way. Things may have changed since then; I usually nuke the dell partition anyway.

State of gvinum RAID-5
Hello List, I tried gvinum RAID-5 with a 5-Stable around the time when 5.1 or 5.2 was released (afair) and back then it basically sucked big time. Raid worked as long as nothing failed, but reconstructing a drive was somewhere between very painful and not possible. Now I will have to upgrade hardware soon, which means I could switch from NetBSD (and Raidframe) to FreeBSD (with gvinum) again. I would like to because NetBSD seems to have some kind of memory leak in connection with Samba and large or many files, but I'd rather have a somewhat unstable Samba than an unstable Raid, so what's the state of affairs? Cheers Felix P.S.: I've tried google but have not come up with anything useful short of reading the actual code, which is way over my level. -- A discordian shall always use the official discordian document numbering system. -- The Second Discordian Commandment signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The only thing that changed between it booting and not booting was that we unplugged the keyboard and mouse prior to the last successful boot and now get the mountroot message (even though the keyboard and mouse are now plugged back in). Does 6.1 assume that it should become a serial console controlled server automatically if no KB/ mouse is attached and then alter some configuration setting? (I'm guessing).

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ 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.

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@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. 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.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

6.x hangs on AMD64 again
I've posted several questions (under two other ids though the name Chris) since March trying to put up a Tyan quad dual s4882. I've run it on 6.0 STABLE as of about March, 6.1 RELEASE in several flavors from May through September and finally 6.2 PRERELEASE as of mid-October. I found issues early on with transition states on the bge interface, found a memory chip that was marginal and have tested and tested throughout this period. Every time we place the system back in production, we see a hang without any indications of what the problem would be, after 4-7 days of running. I've tried to think of where the problems could be and it would seem that 6.x AMD64 exhibits this type of issue for many individuals who put a server under heavy load. I've seen many unresolved posts here and elsewhere that describe strikingly similar scenarios. When in full production, it's running 5 websites out of a prefork non-ssl Apache 2.2.3, light ports-installed mysql 4.19 access via perl cgi (not mod_perl) and heavy access to perl generated and flat html archives pages (for discussion just counted 300K page views for a day on one of the sites). This computer does not breath hard at all with peak hours showing top staying at 80+% idle. I've not opened up any service to where it can fill the 8Gb RAM in spawning too many processes. Process count peaks at about 180 because it services the request backlog so quickly. Active memory is usually about 250 MB and inactive varies. The configuration is very simple and it runs nothing else other than rsyncd and sshd. The hang seems to have nothing to do with peak access times, in fact, it will suddenly hang at our slowest time of the day. I ran for over a month without a hang when leaving the machine relegated to low traffic websites. We've spent a lot to get clean dedicated power and installed a monitoring hardware device to let us see what's going on, no help. Temperature of the computer room is nicely down given that it's winter here and the facility is kept fairly cold. No AC but the computer room remains about 70 degrees F. I'm aware of the warning about 6.2 PR in production but the symptoms have not deviated amongst any 6.x version and 6.2 PR was the only way to pick up the extensive changes to the bge driver without hacking. I need opinions on how to debug and possibly even who I should go to and pay to take a closer look at this scenario. Here are questions and ideas I've thought of, is there any validity in these or have you other ideas? 1. I've wondered if AMD64 SMP was a bad idea. Should I be using i386 for stability? It one thing I've not tried. 2. Should acpi be off as a precaution just to rule it out. It's not blacklisted. I'd turned it off for a long time when testing but the results were muddy. 3. Should I reduce the system to 4GB ram to attempt to skirt the issue. Is 6.x less reliable over 4GB? 4. Where can I find the meanings of all vmstat -z variables, I'm dumping them to another server every two minutes giving the percentage change on each sample, but am unsure if I can correlate this to much of anything meaningful without good definitions. Just started this but will need information. 5. Does mysql use linux threads and could that be the mistake that's taking us out? Even wild goose chases will be welcome at this point ;-).

Re: Instant Messenger software
Robert Fitzpatrick wrote: Can anyone here recommend an IM client/server software that runs on FreeBSD? I'm looking at DBabble, but I see no port (which would be nice). We like BSD servers and are getting a lot of requests for this type of private service. But if BSD is not recommended, please tell. Thanks in advance! It might help to list any special requirements you might have. For instance, our specs required that we logged all messages on a mysql database backend. Also, the suggestion to visit this list: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jadmin is a good one. Very helpful, knowledgeable people there. As far as BSD, AFAIK, there are 3 servers to choose from in the ports. jabber 1.4, jabberd2 ejabberd. When I went to install jabber 1.4, it was marked as ignore at the time because of a security issue which has since been fixed, so I didn't really get to do much with it. Jabberd2 required a plug-in named bandersnatch to get the mysql logging to work. Unfortunately the plug-in does not work with the current perl release, so if you want to get it up and running w/ jabberd2, you have to install older perl modules from backpan. Bandersnatch does work with ejabberd, however there's an issue that's been documented on the bandersnatch forum that it will suddenly quit working after a while for no reason. It doesn't appear that any further maintenance is being done on bandersnatch as some of these issues have been posted on the forum for 6 months or so with no response. There are other plug-ins to log messages for ejabberd in either xml or mnesia, but I haven't gotten around to trying them out yet. I'm not sure if bandersnatch currently works with jabber 1.4 or not. As far as wildfire, the same issue exists. There is a plug-in for message logging to sql called I-Ball, but from reading the forums, it isn't working with the current release. The open-source version does log to xml. Because of the plug-in issue, I've never tried wildfire. As far as ease of configuration, IMHO I found jabber 1.4 jabberd2 easier to set up that ejabberd. If I recall correctly, jabber 1.4 jabberd2 use xml config files that are easy to read (IMHO). ejabberd's config files were a little more difficut for me because I am unfamiliar with the syntax, and found the error reporting (when I made a mistake or two) to be somewhat cryptic. Overall I think the biggest issue I had with any of these was modifying the DNS record by adding an SRV record so that users could log in using [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] You also might want to check out jabber.org. They have a list comparing the various servers that are available, and give a nice chart that gives a feature score which is described as rough percentage of expected server features that each implementation claims to support.

Issue with filehandles being released under 6.1-RELEASE?
Just wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same issues that I am.. it's related to Samba-3.0.22c and sockets / filehandles. For some odd reason every couple days (~2 days) I have to restart the smbd daemon because it eats up 6000+ filehandles, just for sockets I assume (based on netstat output). At the point where it reaches 8000 some filehandles open, the system refuses to fork, forcing me to login as root on the console directly instead of via SSH. My machine is a local / preferred master (smbd fights with XP Home clients because they want to be master browsers), with limited access to a few XP clients (4 clients at any given point in time), plus an XBox using smbclient with XBox Media Center.

Network Setup Question
I have a bit of an unusual network setup situation. I have a machine that is only used to store backups. It gets moved around to different locations occasionally so it has to be able to live on a 192.168.1.x or a 10.0.1.x network without reconfiguration. I also need a fixed last address byte so I can connect to it remotely. I initially set it up with DHCP and then used an alias for the .250 address on both networks. That worked, but caused problems for the local network in one location. The particular user couldn't understand why sometimes his computer got different IP addresses. So I tried to establish the 192.168.1.250 as the primary address and added an alias of 10.0.1.250. That works in both environments except that there is no default route. Is there a way to negotiate just a default route via DHCP and not an IP address? or is there a way to set the default route based on which IP address is in use?

If I understand correctly, you want this machine to be able to connect to multiple heterogenous networks, and always get the same last byte for its ip. The only way to do that reliably, in my mind, is to have each dhcp server on each network assign a static address based upon the MAC address of your computer. If you do not have access to the DHCP server configuration on a particular network then you must manually configure the nic.

All of the other options are configurable. ___ I'm no expert, but it seems to me that your requirements are a little too optimistic. If I understand correctly, you want this machine to be able to connect to multiple heterogenous networks, and always get the same last byte for its ip. The only way to do that reliably, in my mind, is to have each dhcp server on each network assign a static address based upon the MAC address of your computer. Thats a bit much for the particular users who are housing this computer temporarily. Its bad enough that they have to put an address translation in their router to enable me to get to the .250 address. At least I can fairly easily walk them through that. If you do not have access to the DHCP server configuration on a particular network then you must manually configure the nic. That can only be done if you can access the machine which you can't in this setup since there is no default route. Assuming that you know the universe of networks that you will connect to ... say 3 or 300 possible networks ... then you could write a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to test various network configs ... but you might be better off just manually configuring the nic and moving on, as you cannot guarantee that the terminal byte of the ip will be available on any given network. IP just doesn't work that way.' There are only a very small number of locations for this machine, less than 5. However, its possible that at any time a new one might be necessary. This is an off-site backup machine and there needs to be someone available if we need to retrieve it. It can't be unavailable for a couple weeks. I'd be interested in any solution you may scare up, as I am faced with a similar situation. My solution is to just use static assignment, with an identifiable NETBIOS name in Samba. I am going back to the old configuration with a regular DHCP connection and then two static aliases: one for the 192 and one for the 10 addresses. That works but causes one particular user fits. I will just have to try and teach him that IP addresses will change as his DHCP reassigns them. He will have to check his computer's address and not just presume.

Re: 6.x hangs on AMD64 again

I've run it on 6.0 STABLE as of about March, 6.1 RELEASE in several flavors from May through September and finally 6.2 PRERELEASE as of mid-October. I found issues early on with transition states on the bge interface, found a memory chip that was marginal and have tested and tested throughout this period. Every time we place the system back in production, we see a hang without any indications of what the problem would be, after 4-7 days of running. If your system is hanging then you need to configure additional debugging to figure out the cause. Read the chapter on kernel debugging the developers handbook; without this information no developer can help you. Kris P.S.

But typically it does not go above 1.5. The fact that swap is in use, together with your description, indicates that your system is overloaded; those transient loads are causing it to periodically demand more working memory than is backed by RAM, so the system goes into a frenzy of swapping trying to accomodate, and system performance falls in the toilet until the load goes away. Add more RAM or limit the workload. Kris pgpFyXLKrsbDK.pgp Description: PGP signature
installing port etherape
Hello, The 'make install' on the etherape stopped, complaining about a missing function. The output is included below. My environment is FreeBSD 6.1 p10 on an Asus motherboard with a Pentium 4 processor. Given the warnings about a dependancy conflict, and my newbie lack of knowledge of using ports, I'm a bit perplexed on how to proceed.

How can I disable the lookback device?
First of all the motivation of this is my tftp problem with the address 0.0.0.0. Trying to tftp from the same box doesn't reproduce the problem, whatever is happening gets cleaned up in the loopback device. So I want to disable lo0 and route my local IP address over the local net and hopefully the router will deliver the packets back to me. So how can I disable the loopback device manually? I'd prefer to take it down manually when I'm testing rather than doing something in rc.conf and be able to bring it back up. ipconfig lo0 down but the route still existed according to: netstat -r so I did.. route delete 192.168.1.1 but then I tried to create a new route... route add 192.168.1.1 -interface em0 but according to.. netstat -r it instead rebound to lo0... ?
