Software which has to iterate through that directory using opendir() and readdir() will get slower and slower as time goes on. If this is something you've written or have control over or can work with engineers in regards to, I recommend you change your directory naming scheme to have separate subdirectories with the first 2 or 3 letters of the directory you wish to create. E.g.: /some/place/00/00ilikezeros/* /some/place/01/01binaryheaven/* /some/place/aa/aardvarks/* /some/place/ab/abuse/* /some/place/ac/actuary/* ... /some/place/xy/xylophones/* You get the point. Traversing this structure is much more efficient, and requires very little code change on your part. Those who run nameservers that host many zones, for example, use this structure to ensure the daemon doesn't take 32498231 years to start up. What about ZFS? At some point I'll have to re-arrange things so that I have a deeper directory structure, just wondering when I'll hit the limit so I can plan in advance :-) What baffles me is why you're looking at this problem from a how can the filesystem solve this engineering mistake I made for me standpoint, rather than how can I solve this engineering mistake I made so that it doesn't impact the filesystem. Very strange. Sometimes looking at things in a different light makes all the difference. Hope this helps. P.S. -- I hope this mail makes it to you, because your From line is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I'll be surprised if your account name really is that!). Thanks for that Jeremy. I didn't invent this structure, but I daresay I can either modify it or get the original writer to do that. I never really gave it a thought before now - it was the system I was given to work with and it's worked fine so far, except when I try to list the contents of the directory - that takes ages! All the folders are 7 digit numbers and we are up to approx. 0010500 entries (ie subdirs) so far. I guess it will just be a matter of experimenting to find the optimum number of sub-sub-directories per sub-directory :-/ Oh, and yes, that email address does work - I use it for mailing lists and other stuff where I'm likely to get spammed - it's ironic really :-) Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

With the implementation of UFS_DIRHASH the practical limit on the size of directories is now a great deal larger. In particular the slow down caused by linear search through the contents has been eliminated. See ffs(7). 10,000 files or sub-directories, whist not a particularly elegant setup, is actually not unworkable nowadays. Well that's certainly been my experience so far. Still, I now know we will run into problems when we hit the 32,768 limit, so I'll start designing something better.

How to re-start freebsd-update?
Hi, I've started upgrading a machine from 7.0 to 7.1 using freebsd-update. It's the first time I've upgraded to a new os version with it (always used cvsup/ make world mergemaster before). All was going well until it came to merging the new old conf files. I wasn't quite sure what to do when asked to edit some of the files (it's not the same as mergemaster), so I did what I thought was best (having made a backup of /etc first!) Anyway, once that was finished, it then showed me the resulting merged files and asked if each one looked reasonable. I answered yes to the first one, but with the second file wasn't right, so I answered no - assuming it would give me the chance to edit the file again (like mergemaster does). Instead it just dumped me back at the command prompt with no indication as to how to proceed from there. I tried running the freebsd-update install command again, but it said no updates are available to install, run freebsd-update fetch first. Is there some way I can resume the upgrade process? Or do I need to do a rollback and then fetch update again? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

named startup problems upgrading from 7.1p4 to 7.1p5 or 7.1p6
Hi, I've been meaning to sort this out since the release of 7.1p5, but only just got around to it - I have an installation of 7.1 that runs bind and has been working fine up until I tried to update the system to 7.1p5 (using freebsd-update). As soon as I apply the update reboot, named loads but the startup script hangs. If I press Ctrl+C, the system continues to boot. If I then run /etc/rc.d/named start, named starts, but again the script hangs. I can do DNS lookups while named is running, so it seems to be functioning ok. I tried adding various echo statements to /etc/rc.d/named and found that the script seems to run right through. The hang occurs where /etc/rc.subr echoes out Starting named after the named script has run and that's where things seem to stop! Nothing else that is started by the rc.d scripts hangs, so I'm guessing /etc/rc.subr is ok. I did a diff of /etc/rc.d/named before after the upgrade from p4 to p5 (or p6 which has the same issue) and there are no changes to the file. Nothing seems to be logged anywhere that shows a problem, so I really have no idea what to check next. The only named entry in rc.conf is named_enable=YES. Doing a freebsd-update rollback restores normal operation and given that bind actually loads 7 seems to work apart fromthe hanging script, I suspect there's nothing wrong with my bind configuration. Any suggestions? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Note this command shows the order in which all of the rc scripts in those directories would run, not just the ones you have enabled in rc.conf, so you may well have to skip a few lines until you get to something that is enabled. Cheers, Matthew Well the fact that if I run /etc/rc.d/named manually after the system has booted, the script also hangs suggests it's not the next process I have just check however ntpdate is the next one in the list to be started and that does start correctly - you can see it report the clock being adjusted. Also, when you do a Ctrl+C to break the named script on bootup, it says Script /etc/rc.d/named interrupted. Something I've just realised is that named stays loaded even when you 'break' the script. on bootup and DNS lookups work (I didn't think that was the case originally, but it is).

FreeBSD NFS server Linux clients
I'm trying to get some opensuse 10.3 clients to access nfs shares on a FreeBSD 5.5 server. It works fine most of the time, but every so often when using big programs like openoffice firefox, the program will stop responding for a couple of minutes. After doing some googling, I enabled lockd statd enabled on the FBSD server - before I did that, those apps wouldn't even start without massive delays. I still get these occasional lockup while using the apps however. Interestingly, other apps seem to be able to access the nfs shares even while the 'big' apps have stopped responding. Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix or even troubleshoot this problem? My rc.conf on the server looks like: portmap_enable=YES rpcbind_enable=YES rpc_lockd_enable=yes rpc_statd_enable=yes nfs_server_enable=YES nfs_client_enable=yes mountd_flags=-r Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Just use the normal genericstable mechanisms to rewrite the sender address. Read through the bits of /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README that deal with genericstable first, but essentially what you need is: i) Make sure your /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc file contains: FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl if not, add it to the .mc file and rebuild sendmail.cf and restart sendmail in the usual way: # cd /etc/mail # vi `hostname`.mc # make all install restart-mta ii) Edit the /etc/mail/genericstable file to set up the e-mail address mappings you need. That will be, minimally: rootian and then process that into the .db hash format sendmail will read: # make iii) That's all you need to do. Send some e-mails as root to test.

Re: Multiple USB ethernet devices on one usb port (with hub)?
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Andrew Thomas
writes:
I've got an older Dell Latitude (CPi) laptop that I'm trying to
setup as a router/firewall/??? machine. I'm using 5.1-R with a
compiled kernel that I'm slowly reducing to the minimum I need.
I decided to try using usb ethernet adapters since they seemed
so easy. However, the laptop only has one usb port. So, I
picked up a cheap 4 port hub so I could connect my two adapters
(both netgear FA120 devices).
The boot log shows that both devices are recognized. However,
only one gets configured properly (it gets an address and
actually works). The other adapter can't be configured (at
boot time or on the command line). This is whether the devices
are plugged in before booting or after. If I try to remove
either of them after booting I usually get a kernel panic and
a reboot.
Am I trying to do something that can't be done (do I need two
physical ports on the machine for this to work)? Is this
merely a bug in 5.1 that would be fixed if I go to 'CURRENT'?
Does anyone have any comments? For completeness I'm appending
the relevant lines from my config.
Any help would be appreciated.
There is definitely one problem that stops you from using two
identical USB ethernet devices, but I don't know if it's the only
one: the axe driver uses a static (global) stucture for some
per-interface data, so it clobbers this state with two interfaces.
I had said to Bill Paul (cc'd) that I would suggest a patch to fix
this, but I never managed to get my two USB ethernet interfaces in
the same place at the same time to test them! Would you be able to
try out the following patch to see if it helps? Just apply it in
/usr/src and rebuild the kernel.
Thanks,
Ian

ADSL modem ip addresses
Hi, I'm organising an ADSL connection and I'm a bit confused about our options. We need to provide web, ssh and mail access to our network for users from home across the Internet with an ADSL connection. I figure the best way to do this is to setup a new machine to act as a firewall and run a web server sendmail on this box. (or I have seen something about using socket to divert these services to our existing server which has a private address). The firewall would have a NIC with a private IP address to connect to the rest of our network. What's the best way then to connect it to the ADSL line? Do we have a second NIC in the firewall machine with a real IP address connected to an ADSL modem and use ppp -natd on that interface? Does that mean we'd need 2 static IP addresses - one for the firewall one for the modem? (We really don't want to pay for 2 addresses) Or can we use a USB connection instead - are there FBSD drivers for ADSL modems? I can't see any in the supported hardware list. Or do we use a combined modem/router device to do the nat firewalling and have it redirect mail, web ssh access to our main server? (is that possible or do such devices not allow access into the network from the 'net?)

I figure the best way to do this is to setup a new machine to act as a firewall and run a web server sendmail on this box. (or I have seen something about using socket to divert these services to our existing server which has a private address). It's not a wise move to run the services on the same machine as your firewall. You can setup an openbsd machine to serve as your firewall on a very inexpensive old machine, running it as a gateway as well. You can then forward specific ports (80, 25, 110 in your case) to your services machine running either in a DMZ or behind the firewall. Regarding the whole diverting issue, I encourage you to google dual homed hosts I had some pretty favourites on my windows machine but I lost them all when a hard drive died or I'd have some good ones for you. Thanks, I'll check that out. I've got a firewall machine partly built, becasue I kind of figured it was the best way to go. The firewall would have a NIC with a private IP address to connect to the rest of our network. What's the best way then to connect it to the ADSL line? Do we have a second NIC in the firewall machine with a real IP address connected to an ADSL modem and use ppp -natd on that interface? Does that mean we'd need 2 static IP addresses - one for the firewall one for the modem? (We really don't want to pay for 2 addresses) If you use pppoe, you can run ppp -ddial -quiet on startup by including that in rc.conf. Checkout /etc/defaults/rc.conf. I setup a machine to act as a gateway/firewall for 5 PC's on a 3mbit dsl line once... on a P1Since 20 and it ran flawlessly. You don't need two IP's. Your modem *shouldn't* have to have an IP. If it does, it's because it also acts as a router and hence does the pppoe auth. I suppose you can use that as a router instead.. it's your network ;) I like the flexibility my router provides me however. It's remarkably easy to setup as well. Again I don't have any links right now off-hand, but if you search for pppoe + freebsd + ipnat or something you'll find some very good tutorials. There was this one for a cable connection I used as a guide the first time, and just followed the steps from other sources for setting up PPPoE. Thanks, I've had a couple of replies to this effect, so I'll start doing some googling. Or can we use a USB connection instead - are there FBSD drivers for ADSL modems? I can't see any in the supported hardware list. AFAIK, there is no support (yet?) for a usb modem. I don't like them anyway - I keep my apples with my apples, my oranges with... you guessed it, the oranges. ADSL = network related stuff = runs on Ethernet. Yeah, that's my feeling too. Seems like there is a usb driver (in the ports) of one modem, but like you, I would rather stick to ethernet. Or do we use a combined modem/router device to do the nat firewalling and have it redirect mail, web ssh access to our main server? (is that possible or do such devices not allow access into the network from the 'net?) by default they will not. As I said they work, but I'm not sure the devices that are a modem + router built-in will also include firewalling. I didn't really think those soho devices would be very powerful, much better to used FBSD get as much power flexibility as you need! I put that as an option just in case. Thanks to everyone for your replies. I really wanted someone to say this is the way to go, since it's all a bit theoretical until we have the connection modem installed can actually start playing with it. Now I'm happy to go ahead set up my firewall machine and do lots of googling!

newbie question: Gnome 2.6 upgrade
I finally came to my senses and got a copy of FreeBSD about a week ago. I'm very compitent in window$ and DOS, and wanted to start in on something new. I've been toying with BSD for a while and I'm getting to know my way around. I'm having trouble upgrading to gnome 2.6. I had gnome 2.4 installed and running just fine. I cvsup'd with the ports-supfile, and ran the gnome_upgrade.sh file. It pondered the meaning of life until well after I left for work. When I came home, I saw it was at the login prompt. There were some messages that I assume have to deal with renewing DHCP leases with my cable modem, but I logged in as normal. there was nothing indicating a troubled install. Since running cvsup and the upgrade, I can't run startx like I used to. It used to run regardless of what directory I was in, and now I have to be in /usr/X11R6/bin to run it. when I run it, I get the same message as usual that says it can't contact some host server and I ned to add a line into my /etc/hosts file. I've always gotten that one, even when 2.4 was running perfectly smoothly. a terminal window comes up right away after that message when gnome starts as it begins loading it's components at the splash screen. it hangs on window manager but eventually gets to the desktop with the terminal window still open. I can't run any applications at all. it says that the indicated file is nowhere to be found. I can run the files, epiphany for example, from the terminal window and they run just fine as far as I can tell. I'm sure there's some painfully obvious thing I haven't done, but I can't tell what it is. I've followed the upgrade instructions to the letter, but apaprently I'm not cool enough to pull it off. sorry for the longwindedness. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: newbie question: Gnome 2.6 upgrade
I'll track down that logfile and check it out. I didn't have X11 running at the time, since I figured it might have to upgrade some components that X11 runs on. It rebooted the machine, and when I scrolled up to check out all the startup text, everything looked in order. Hopefully something will jump out in the logfile.

If all the gnome and X11 related stuff appears to be upgraded, it might be hard to track down which build was at fault. I think the gnome upgrade script made a logfile in tmp. I would check to see if there is one there and if so see what happened. Did you have x11 running when you tried the upgrade?

Since running cvsup and the upgrade, I can't run startx like I used to. Are your problems only related to X11 - or do you have the problems when running in console-mode too? Try switching virtual terminals with AltCtrlF-key (like AltCtrlF2). First of all this switches you out to a console-terminal leaving X running and thus gives to the ability to track things down further. -ewald The problem only seems to be with X11. I tried running several commands in console mode that I can normally run from any location and they all worked fine. so far startx seems to be the only thing that won't run like it used to. I read something about shells having to be rehashed to update the PATH lines? I run in bash if that makes a difference. Thank you very much for your help so far. _ Is your PC infected?

4.7 Stable - Apache 2, Mod jk
Hi List. Trying to get Apache 2 and mod_jk to play together. Getting the error /mod_jk.so: Undefined symbol pthread_mutex_unlock When I try to load the module Now, I've done the --no-verify. Remove from configure in mod_jk to get it to compile on freebsd properly but I can't get it to load. Apache2 runs and loads other modules fine, and tomcat 4.06 is running fine as well.

Except, I can't find that as an option within configure, and no-one has answered the further question, is this a good thing. Any help or pointers would be appreciated...

Ian Are you sure that sure that each of your transport and route declarations are in the correct sections of the config file? Make sure that your router configuration ONLY comes after the the line begin routers and that your transport config only comes after the line begin transports. The config file is not randomly parsed. There are definite discrete sections that need to be observed. It looks as if you have put your router definition in the transport section. Nathan Hallelujah! Nathan said let there be light, and a bulb appeared above Ian's head! That looks to be it, looking at the exim docs again, it's not clear anywhere that it needs to be inserted in certain sections.

Hi.
Can anyone make clear for me one thing. In file /etc/rc.firewall
we have two sections which stops RFC1918 and draft-manning-dsua-03.txt
networks:
# Stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface
[ ... ]
# Network Address Translation. This rule is placed here deliberately
[ ... ]
case ${natd_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
if [ -n ${natd_interface} ]; then
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to any via ${natd_interface}
fi
;;
esac
# Stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface
[ ... ]
If we don't using NAT then we have _two_ sections of _same_ rules,
No, they're not the same rules - though their comments could a little
more explicit. The below is quoted from a FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE
/etc/rc.firewall, but I expect it's still much the same in 4.7.
First section:
# Stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface
${fwcmd} add deny all from any to 10.0.0.0/8 via ${oif}
${fwcmd} add deny all from any to 172.16.0.0/12 via ${oif}
${fwcmd} add deny all from any to 192.168.0.0/16 via ${oif}
[etc]
Then the NAT rules section you quoted, then:
# Stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface
${fwcmd} add deny all from 10.0.0.0/8 to any via ${oif}

The first section stops any incoming traffic from outside TO any RFC1918
addresess, and the second stops any traffic FROM our RFC1918 addresses
reaching the outside, ie it prevents us from spoofing these addresses
(or handles a failure of our NAT setup to properly map such addresses).
Where the second section which stops RFC1918 and draft-manning-dsua-03.txt
networks is applied only if we really using NAT ?
It's just as important, perhaps more, if we're not using NAT.

MSDOS Install

Re: Dangerously dedicated vs. fully dedicated, etc.
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mike, I'll pay back your effort in replying to this long thing by working up a patch for the disklabel manpage (at least) and, if you want, I'll CC you so you can veto things you don't like. I do worry At the risk of adding to the confusion, here is a less wordy description of the various disk layouts. The term `dangerously dedicated' seems to be used to refer to either options (B) or (C), so I will avoid using that term: (A) Normal sliced disk (assuming sectors/track = 63) sector 0: boot0 and the DOS slice table sectors 1..62:unused start of slice 1 start of 'a' partition sector 63:boot1 sector 64:disklabel sectors 65-78:boot2 sectors 79-92:'a' partition filesystem superblock Note that the disklabel, which contains a list of the partitions within a slice is actually contained within the space allocated to the first partition. To ensure that this does not get clobbered by the filesystem, the first 8k of every ffs filesystem is reserved for boot code and the disklabel. (B) Dedicated format created by sysinstall start of slice 1 start of 'a' partition sector 0: boot1 and the DOS slice table, where the slice table contains one slice (slice 1) covering the entire disk, including sector 0. sector 1: disklabel sector 2-15: boot2 sectors 16-31:'a' partition filesystem superblock In this case, there is no boot0, and boot1 serves as the boot loader that is invoked by the BIOS. Here, all of the boot code is contained within the first slice and also within the first partition. Again, the 8k reserved at the start of every ffs filesystem protects the boot code. Sysinstall sets up fstab to refer to the partitions as e.g. /dev/ad0s1a (I think). (C) Dedicated format using dummy slice start of slice 4 start of 'a' partition sector 0: boot1 and the DOS slice table. The slice table contains a single entry (slice 4) that starts at sector 0 and has a size of 5 sectors, whatever the real disk size is. sector 1: disklabel sector 2-15: boot2 sectors 16-31:'a' partition filesystem superblock This is like (B) except that slice 4 instead of slice 1 is used, and the size of the slice in the slice table is bogus. The partitions on such a disk are usually accessed using the compatibility slice names such as /dev/ad0a.

Re: Dangerously dedicated vs. fully dedicated, etc.
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: /boot/boot0 has the FreeBSD bootloader. The installer also offers to use the standard /boot/mbr. Roughly speaking. /boot/boot2 is 15 sectors; I suppose the first (all zeros) is replaced with the disklabel, loosely speaking. One such as would be created by disklabel -B. (/boot/boot1 seems to have the fourth slice pre-defined.) This differs from B only in the slice table, right? The disklabel manpage implies that this is a DD. Exactly. Thanks for filling in the details I missed. The other magic thing about the bogus 5-sector slice is that the kernel detects this special case and then completely ignores the slice table and makes the compatibility slice cover the whole disk (I'm not 100% sure of the details here). It seems that a DD disk is one which is similar to a single slice starting at sector 0, regardless of what the slice table part of sector 0 contains. With FreeBSD-standard boot code and some BIOSes, one disk layout (ie, DD or sliced) will work better than the other. (And for DD disks, some slice table contents might work better than others. I've not read anything comparing your B and C or either with a slice table full of zeros or random bits.) I think to avoid warnings or errors, you need either a valid slice entry (even if it is a sysinstall-style slice that starts at sector 0 and contains the whole disk), or else the exact special bogus slice table, since the kernel code just does a bcmp() to check for the special bogus table. As to the issue of BIOSes disliking DD modes, there have been a few different reasons suggested. For traditional BIOSes that just look for the 0x55 0xaa signature and if found then execute the MBR code, all of the various DD and non-DD schemes should work fine. However, some BIOSes perform additional tests that may fail on DD disks. For example (I'm just guessing here), they might check that the slice starts after the MBR, or that the slice starts and ends on a cylinder boundary. It sounds a silly thing to do, but I guess maybe it allows the BIOS to automatically figure out what geometry the OS is expecting or something. The fact that boot1 always contains the bogus slice table even when boot1 is not used as an MBR has been linked to other BIOS problems too - some BIOSes apparently go further and check if the first sector of each slice looks like it has an extended partition table even if the slice type is not that of an extended partition. In -CURRENT, the default bogus slice table was changed slightly to stop some BIOSes crashing with a divide-by-zero error when they tried to parse the bogus slice entry in boot1.

starting x at a high priority

XFree86 4.2.1 and freetype2 antialiasing
Hello all, I have XFree86 4.2.1 installed (via an install from FreeBSD-4.7RELEASE CD) and have also installed freetype2 from the ports collection (currently 2.1.3_1). I also have freetype-1.3.1_2 installed as a dependency for some other ports. After installing KDE 3.1 (also from the ports collection), I noticed that the only true type fonts that were anti-aliased were those included with XFree86 (the BH Luxi family). All of the Microsoft fonts I copied from my Windows box are rendered, but none are anti-aliased, except in the KDE Font Installer preview window. I have searched high and low for a solution to this, and all the information I have so far is this: - Compile qt-3.1 with antialias support. This is the default in the ports version of qt-3.1, which is what I have installed. - Turn on anti-aliasing in the KDE Fonts Control Module. This I have done, which is why Luxi fonts work (though this does not affect the Font Installer preview). - Some articles I have found on freetype.org and Google groups indicate that the freetype library that is included in the XFree86 code is outdated. They say the solution is to use /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a. I have tried to do this by adding 'ModulePath /usr/local/lib' to my XF86Config file (above thge stock ModulePath line). This gives an error in my XFree86.0.log: LoadModule: Module freetype does not have a freetypeModuleData data object. I cannot find any documentation that tells me what this means. Does anyone out there have any experience with this? BTW: All my ports have been installed using portupgrade (or portinstall) which I keep up to date. The only possible exception would be XFree86 which was installed from the FreeBSD-4.7 install CD. Thanks!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to make any difference. It certainly looks to my inexperienced eyes like it should. I can SSH in (and maybe this will be the permanent solution). If I run kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 /dev/ttyv0 while it's 'locked up' I get: kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/kbd0: Device busy So maybe it didn't close down the connection to the keyboard? If that's anything like how it actually works. I tried plugging the keyboard directly into the machine (not through the KVM) while it was 'locked up', but that had no effect either. Are you using a set up like this, Ian? No, I've only used a setup that had both PS/2 and USB keyboards. Just reading the kbdcontrol man page, the other thing you could try is the -K option to detach the keyboard. e.g: device Keyboard devname ukbd0 attach kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 /dev/ttyv0 detach kbdcontrol -K /dev/ttyv0 (or experiment with kbdcontrol -K from ssh) BTW, what are the last few lines of `dmesg' after the keyboard stops working?

Trafic Counter
Hi, I am running FreeBSD 4.8 with squid v 2.5_2. It is only active for one ethernet card (I have 3). I am using IPF, with IPNAT to do the NAT What i would like to know, is how could i count the trafic through that ethernet card, and that one only. And can i possibly set a limit as to the amount of trafic they are allowed to use. Like say 200meg a month or something? Thanks for the help.

Squid ncsa based authentication on FBSD
Hi, This may be a squid question, but I *think* it's a FBSD specific issue. I've been experimenting with user authentication on squid. The squid.conf says: # If you want to use the traditional proxy authentication, # jump over to the ../auth_modules/NCSA directory and # type: # % make # % make install # # Then, set this line to something like # # authenticate_program /usr/local/bin/ncsa_auth /usr/local/etc/passwd but locate ncsa gives: /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo/n/ncsa /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo/n/ncsa-m /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo/n/ncsa-m-ns /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo/n/ncsa-ns /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo/n/ncsa-vt220 /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo/n/ncsa-vt220-8 so I'm wondering how to get ncsa (or any other authentication system) running with squid. All the squid documentation just seems to assume that ncsa_auth is available. Hope someone can help :-) Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

VPN Tunnel Routing
Greetings: I am trying to construct a B2B mode VPN tunnel between my house and my work using FreeBSD. My work uses Checkpoint VPN-1 and I have a FreeBSD firewall that is running ipfilter to do firewall/NAT duties. I have so far been successful in creating a tunnel between the FreeBSD box and my work VPN server using /usr/ports/security/racoon, gif (4), and the IPSEC kernel module. I am able to establish a tunnel and pass packets from my FreeBSD firewall to my work network. I have not been able to pass packets from the rest of my home network to my work over the VPN tunnel. The packets seem to never make it into the tunnel, and also do not pass out to the Internet via my firewall. Here is my current configuration (IPs changed to protect the guilty): fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe5c:c37b%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 100.100.100.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 68.3.250.255 ether 00:a0:c9:5c:c3:7b media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active fxp1: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe76:4764%fxp1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:a0:c9:76:47:64 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 faith0: flags=8002BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500 gif0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1280 tunnel inet 68.3.250.5 -- 199.64.13.20 inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe5c:c37b%gif0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.0.1 -- 200.200.200.1 netmask 0xff00 fxp0 is my external network adapter, connected to the Internet and assigned 100.100.100.1 by my ISP. gif0 is the tunnel adapter and ties my network to my work's network. The ip 200.200.200.1 is the inside interface of my work's VPN server. The commands used to create the gif tunnel are as follows: ifconfig gif0 create tunnel 100.100.100.1 200.200.201.1 ifconfig gif0 inet 192.168.0.1 200.200.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 100.100.100.1 is my external address again 200.200.201.1 is the external interface on my work's VPN server 200.200.200.1 is the internal interface on my works VPN server again As you can see, I am using the same IP for my internal interface on my firewall (fxp1) as I am for the local termination of the gif tunnel. I have also tried using a different IP address with the same results. As far as I can tell, the routing is set up correctly with all routes to my work's netowrk pointing at the gif tunnel (either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2depending on my configuration). I guess my main questions are: why aren't packets from my inside network entering the gif tunnel? Why is it that only packets that originate on the firewall itself seem to enter the gif tunnel? Is this fixable? If so how? Cheers, Ian Cartwright To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Suggestion re packages
Hi, As I was browsing thru the questions mailing list just now, I thought of something that might improve the ease of use of our ports/packages system. It seems to me it would be helpful if packages included a quick summary of any options used to compile the package and anything else that isn't included in the packages, but is present in the port (or vice versa?). For example - the authentication bits in Squid) I've come across problems several times where I couldn't get something to work because I'd installed the package rather than the port and I've seen questions from others with the same problem. What do you think? Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The filter runs fine for about 20 minutes or so then can't seem to come up with the right ip addresses for any client machines. After much reading of man pages, Stevens, and some banging of my head against the desk I decided that maybe it wasn't me :) I found a PR that I think seems to relate (misc/34307) but this still confuses me. I would think that if the situation this PR describes were to be the case all sorts of things wouldn't be working right. Is the code in question correctly initialising the variable that the `addrlen' parameter points to before calling accept? It looks as if this might be the problem in the PR you mention. I mean that the code should look like sin_len = sizeof(sin); s = accept(servsock, (struct sockaddr *)sin, sin_len); where `sin_len' is reset to the correct length before calling accept() each time. I think sin_len may be reset to 0 when an error occurs, but otherwise you would get away with not resetting it.

Re: devbuf state in top
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Chris Ptacek writes: I had a process whose state under top was listed as devbuf. This process seemed to be stuck and I was unable to kill it. I ended up rebooting the box to reset it. None of the man pages (TOP, PS) list the devbuf state. What is it and what was the process trying to do? I am guessing it had something to do with memory allocation. It means that the kernel is trying to allocate memory with a type code of M_DEVBUF, but the kernel limit for that type has been reached. Hence the process is stuck waiting for something to free M_DEVBUF memory for it to use. `vmstat -m' shows the current amount of memory allocated by each malloc type. As the name suggests M_DEVBUF is normally used for buffers in kernel devices. Maybe you have created a very large number of devices or configured a device in a way that requires a lot of memory (e.g set a huge value for SC_HISTORY_SIZE), maybe there is a memory leak, or possibly you just need to increase the value of MAXUSERS in the kernel configuration file.

HPFS filesystem
Having tens of thousands of files collected over about seven years on
numerous HPFS volumes on a couple of OS/2 machines, and being tired of
shuffling between in .zip files, I'd love access to HPFS volumes (all
within extended DOS partitions) from the FreeBSD installs on those
boxes. I'm well tuned to the WARNING, but readonly access will do ..
I'd looked over Semen Ustimenko [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s HPFS code, and
was about to ask here if it still worked on 4.5-RELEASE and since, when
a colleague noticed this code in the 4.5 source tree, but that it's not
installed by default, nor mentioned in LINT (/sys/{modules,fs}/hpfs)
What do I have to do to add the filesystem? I gather from skimming the
code that it is (or was?) hooked into mountd. Is this a buildworld job
(after how enabling its inclusion?) or can I just make it (from where?)
Thanks in advance,
Ian

BRIDGE 020214 loaded ad0: 19077MB IBM-DJSA-220 [41344/15/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: DVD-ROM TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2302 at ata1-master PIO4 umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR i'm not sure if the BRIDGE is relevant, but i'm guessing it is because i've never seen it before, and i'd imagine that this box has some kind of USB -- IDE bridge action occurring. so, any ideas? how can i find out what's inside? cheers gang.. ian -- :: darq.net /#/ :: such swoopy interwords | mnemonica To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
kGPG crash
Hi, I sent an email to the author of the program, and he couldnt help me, so i was wondering if anyone here could help me. I am running FreeBSD 5.0rel, with gnupg-1.2.1, with kgpg-0.9.5, i installed both last night. So, once installed, i type kgpg, at the prompt, and i get the KDE crash handler, that tells me that kgpg crashed and caused a signal 11 (SIGSEGV). Now in the backtrace window, this is what i get: snip (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

Problem with apache
I've got two FreeBSD boxes on my home network. They are both assigned local IP addresses through DHCP. I've just installed Apache on both of them tonight, and I can access one machine just fine using its local IP address. (192.168) The other, I can telnet to port 80 on it using: $ telnet localhost 80 Trying ::1.. Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]' But if I try using its IP address, even the loopback, the connection is refused: $ telnet 127.0.0.1 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: unable to connect to remote host I've set up the /etc/hosts file on each to reflect 127.0.0.1 as the domain names for each computer. I tried a bunch of things with the ServerName directive before restoring the Apache defaults there when nothing worked. Any ideas?

Openoffice build error
Hi, I am trying to build the latest version of openoffice (cvsupped earlier). I get this error bellow, i am runing a 5.0 Rel system with X4, and KDE 3.1 snip [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports/editors/openoffice # make install REQUIREMENTS: OO requires that the ENV variable LANG is set to a proper value. Dependent on which language port you use, OO does automatically set LANG to a suitable value. You can change this with: USE_LANG=prefered language and set a different language like: en_US.ISO8859-15 en_US.ISO8859-1 US-ASCII Your current setting is: USE_LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15 OPTIONS: You can compile OO with different gcc compiler versions: Add USE_GCC=2.95 or USE_GCC=3.1 to compile openoffice with your prefered compiler. If you like to use the native BSD JDK for the build system, you can use WITH_BSD_JDK=TRUE to disable the usage of the linux-JDK and linux dependency. You can compile OO with debug symbols if you call make with WITH_DEBUG=1 If you set WITH_DEBUG=2, you add internal OO.org debug support. You may set WITH_TTF_BYTECODE_ENABLED=YES if you like to use the Freetype library to render TTF fonts. Normally the TTF lib is not used to render fonts. If you have licensed the Apple patents US05155805 US05159668 and US05325479 you can enable this option to get better quality of glyphs at small bitmap sizes.

Re: Problem with apache
Thanks Andrey! A sockstat on the non-working server showed this: www httpd 694 3 tcp6 *:80 *:* while the working version shows: www httpd 694 3 tcp46 *:80 *:* It appears the non-working server is only aware of tcp6 protocol. Is this a problem with my ethernet config? Other services are using tcp4. Is there something in the apache configs that would cause this?
