When you normally do this the connection will be dead. Is there a way in freebsd to change this ? are there parameters wich you can set so that the above would work (20 seconds without network can happen) ? TCP using the default FreeBSD settings, can survive 20 secs of inactivity. It can be an application forced timeout. What application/protocol are talking about? Nikos This is the more full explanation: I have setup a mobile pc to roam across our building. By reducing the dwell time and changing the channel list to only the channels I use roaming now works within ten seconds en sometimes within one or two seconds. The previous configuration was with fedora and there I was unable to get roaming time under 25 seconds. I do have one very annoying problem however and I have no idea how to solve it. The software uses psycopg (a python postgresql module) wich uses the standard system parameters for connections (At least that is what I think). -On fedora if the connection gets lost and it takes 30 seconds to remake a new connection operation is not interupted, after the 30 seconds you get the data you've been waiting for. -On freebsd however we get it a lot that the connection is "lost", you can easily start a new connection wich works fine, but the old connection you wore using stops working and the app. hangs (If I had to guess I would say that roaming works about 95% of the time and the connection is lost about 5% of the time). I also get a lot of IFDOWN IFUP messages but this seems normal to me. I am now going to program something in twisted using udp to see if this works better. Did you try to use some RPC library? You can have the psycopg connection on the server side, and use it through an object broker. You will probably find an object broker that can even survive a TCP reconnect. Then you do not need to rewrite the whole program. Well, it is just an idea, may not be applicable for you.

How to set maximum disk cache size?
Hi All, Is there a way (sysctl?) to tell FreeBSD (6.2 RELEASE) how many memory can it use for caching file data from disk? It might be that FreeBSD will use all available RAM, and reduce the cache size whenever a program wants to allocate more memory. It is my hope, but I could not find the documentation. RTFM is fine with me but please give a keyword where I can start. :-) Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

By default it uses up to 256MB for buffering/caching and there's no way it can use all available memory on i386 in machines with more than 1GB installed since the buffer/cache is allocated from KVM and the default maximum is 1GB. You can increase the amount of memory used, but it might not help - there's a thread on performance@ from 2004 which describes how it all works; see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-performance/2004-April/000785.html The information there is quite old now though so I don't know if things are done differently in 6.x. OK, and how about amd64 arch? The reason I ask this is that we have a big postresql database (over 3GB) and PostgreSQL rely on the OS for caching files in memory. This database is mostly read-only, so it would be nice to use all free memory for caching. Especially that this machine is the database server, it does nothing else. Now, it is an i386 but we are about to migrate to AMD X2, then we can put in 8GB of memory. But only if the OS can use if for caching. Otherwise it would be useless. Thank you for the link.

mount -u -o rw / not working on NFS?
Hi All, I have a system where a diskless FreeBSD 6.3 i386 machine boots with pxeboot from a FreeBSD 6.3 amd64 machine. I have lines in /etc/fstab for the diskless machine like: # DeviceMountPoint FsType Options DumpPass 172.16.0.1:/usr /usrnfs rw 0 0 172.16.0.1:/mnt/d2/rootfs/root /root nfs rw 0 0 The machine boots from network nicely, then I can login as root and invoke these commands: mount -u -o rw / mount -u -o rw /usr mount -u -o rw /root There is no error message on the console, nor in the system log. However, this happens afterwards: diskless101#mkdir /aaa mkdir aaa: Read-only file system Question: if the remount did not succeed, why didn't it throw an error? If succeeded, why can't I write on the filesystem?

Re: permissions for www acting strangely
Steve Franks wrote: Few weeks ago, I installed apache22. Just wanted to put up some family photos. Whenever I tried to connect, got a "apache doesn't have permisson to acess ~/. on this system or somesuch". The only way to get around it appeared to be a chmod 777 on my pic folder (no luck with 775!). Now I restored some stuff from a backup over my photos, and now 777 won't work either. Is there something fundamental about permissions I am totally missing? Look at your apache config file. Most probably, /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf. Look for "User" and "Group" options - it tells you the user and group apache is running under. Now look at the ownership of your files and directories. Apache needs to have rx on directories and r on file to read them. One common approach for this problem is to set the "set group id" bit on your folder containing your photos, and do chown user1:group1 -R yourfolder Where: user1- can be you (?) group1 - should be the group apache is running under Well, it is just a bad example. You need to develop your own strategy for security. They key is that you also need to check ownership. It is not enough to chmod, sometimes you need to chown.

Re: mount -u -o rw / not working on NFS?
diskless101#mkdir /aaa mkdir aaa: Read-only file system Question: if the remount did not succeed, why didn't it throw an error? If succeeded, why can't I write on the filesystem? The answer to the second portion is that you're mounted as a read only file system, so there's no write access. You were right. Actually I had /etc/exports file setup correctly, but I forgot to invoke "killall -HUP mountd" after the last change. My bad. :-( But... I'm still interested in the first portion. Why didn't I get an error message if the nfs share was read-only? There's an nfs permissions file you may need to edit, /etc/exports/, which controls whether NFS shares the file system as read only, read write, whether root can have root on the file system etc. The case is solved, but I still have this question. :-) Thanks, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It might be that skype cannot do NAT traversal through two NATs? BTW, the client computer uses NFS to mount /, but I hope this is not related to the problem. Thanks, Laszlo Lazlo, I've found a similar problem, but in Skype there are a configuration in "Tools" that tells Skype the port to use. Try port 80 as I did and worked. All items in the "tools" menu are greyed out for me, except for "Select Language". I see an item called "Options..." but it is not available. Skype version is: 1.2.0.18_API Thanks, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: remove X11
Do I have to remove each package individually? Suppose you have installed the xorg server, you could remove it easily. But it also matters how you installed. If you did it from ports, you can probably cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg make deinstall That just deletes the metaport (which is purely a list of dependencies), try: ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves I stand corrected. :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
dovecot, maildir, UFS 2 performance
I need to install a new server. Primarily it will run apache + PHP + PostgreSQL. Its main task is to serve several websites, and provide web based admin interface for OLTP. The server will have 2xSAS disks in RAID 1 for the base system and 10xSATA2 disks in RAID 1+0 for the rest. The SAS pair will only have 150GB space. The RAID 1+0 array will be above 1.5 TB. I already have a good idea about how to tune PostgreSQL: log files go to SAS and data dir goes to SATA. The secondary task for this server is to be an IMAP and mail server. We will be using dovecot, and shared maildir folders with ten thousands of messages. I'm not sure where to put the maildir folders, and what options to use for the filesystem. Dovecot wiki is not talking about UFS, only ext3, reiserfs and xfs: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir Can you tell me some basic idea about how to configure this? I have some ideas but they may be competely wrong: #1 maildir stores each message in a separate file. I think I need to dedicate a separate disk slice for maildirs and decrease block size on it. How big should the blocksize be? #2 searching in messages is a common operation. Possibly read speed is very most important. But since there will be thousands of files to open, seek operation is also important. On which RAID array should I put mail dirs? Small SAS or bigger SATA array?

Re: Filesystem of choice for a Linux/FreeBSD shared backup disk?
For making backups I would probably just use FAT32 and tar, because practically anything (not just FreeBSD & Linux) will mount FAT32 file systems, and tar should respect your file attributes (owner, group, creation timestamp, last modified timestamp, etc). Except that you cannot create files with >4GB size on FAT32. You might be able to use an archiver that is able to split archives into smaller parts. This has always been a problem. FreeBSD is open source. So Linux is, but they do not have a common filesystem that could be accessed from both system, WITHOUT compromises. :-( Best, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: dovecot, maildir, UFS 2 performance
#1 maildir stores each message in a separate file. I think I need to dedicate a separate disk slice for maildirs and decrease block size on it. How big should the blocksize be? i have everything (/) on single partition on most of my servers, including those having lots of mail. I don't think that is clever. sysinstall creates different partitions for / /usr /var and /tmp by default. There must be good reasons for this. #2 searching in messages is a common operation. Possibly read speed is very most important. But since there will be thousands of files to open, seek operation is also important. On which RAID array should I put mail dirs? dovecot do make indexes and scans all files only when rebuilding them. Except when my users search for a text in the "message body". Unfortunately, they often do this. :-( assuming you configured your RAID1+0 properly it will give you MUCH more performance from 10 disks, than RAID1 on 2 - a bit faster - drives. IMHO you wasted money for SAS drives, simply having SATA only system could be enough. This is true for raw read/write speed. But some I/O operations are seek intensive. Seek time for a 15 000 rpm SAS disk is lower than it is for a 10 disk SATA2 RAID. Seek intensive operations should go to SAS. But I'm not sure what they are. If you say that dovecot is not seek intensive then you answered my question. :-) just keep your SAS drives for OS, ports, sources, logs, whatever, while /home on your big RAID1+0 volume.

Re: dovecot, maildir, UFS 2 performance
You can treat UFS as ext2/3 with dir_index enabled by default (not
exactly but that's what dirhash translates to in practice).
UFS by default creates 2k fragments ("sub-blocks"), so in practice any
tuning in this direction won't do much.
More drives=better in this case. Don't forget to tune dirhash_maxmem.
I think this is what I really wanted to know. Thank you!

VNC server embedded into Xorg server
Hi All, There was a port called net/vnc that contained a vnc.so file. That file could be loaded into the Xorg server and then I was able to monitor the X desktop with VNC. Now I'm using gnome, and gnome2-fifth-toe installs tightvnc. It conflicts with net/vnc. So I cannot install net/vnc. What other options I have to run an X server? The only extra wish is that the X server must be able to start automatically, e.g. without logging into gnome. I need this because the X server will be located at a distant location and I have to be able to use it after a system restart.

Re: php5 segfault
Also, you cannot use a threaded Apache (e.g. threaded MPMs) with PHP since not all extensions support threading. Your Apache needs to be built without threads and use a non-thread model (e.g. prefork). I've also had success with Apache-ITK-mpm. This is very true for mod_php, but less so if PHP is run as FastCGI. I am currently running a box at work with the event mpm and mod_fcgid for testing and it seems to be doing well. YMMV All right. The problem is that we are getting segfaults with the CLI version too. We are running some background PHP programs and they also throw segfault. Here is the interesting part. I wrote a test script that tries to connect to the postgresql server. - if the hostname is wrong for the connection, there is no segfault - if the hostname is right but the password is wrong (e.g. it cannot connect to the server) then there IS segfault. There are no options to configure in php5-pgsql. I tried to change the order or module in extensions.ini, no success so far.

Re: php5 segfault
There are no options to configure in php5-pgsql. I tried to change the order or module in extensions.ini, no success so far. Then my recommendation is to build PHP with DEBUG enabled (see "make config"), reproduce the situation, and provide a backtrace here. Problem solved. I put pgsql.so on top of all other modules and now there is no segfault. Thank you! Although I do not understand why it has not been fixed. The same problem existed two years ago, right?

Re: php5 segfault
I thought you said you changed the order and it didn't work? *confused* I said no success so far. There are more than 20 modules and there is no description about what the good order should be. I had to keep trying... If so: it should be obvious why it hasn't been fixed. It doesn't appear to affect everyone -- for example, we have never seen this problem in the 4-5 years we've been using PHP on FreeBSD -- and the solution doesn't really make much sense anyway. It smells of a missing symbol problem (e.g. libxx.so wants a symbol named "hello_bob", but the symbol is available in libyy.so, which has to be loaded first; however, ld.so and dlopen(3) have explicit handling for this scenario (see RTLD_NOW vs. RTLD_LAZY), so I'm at a loss). Maybe you are right. But I would think that a missing symbol problem should throw an error message telling "missing symbol" instead of making a segfault. That said, if you feel this is a humongous issue, I highly recommend you mail the PHP port maintainer and express your concerns, or open a PR We had the same problem on our previous server. I'm going to install another box today and test it. If the problem comes out again, I'm going to write a PR. Thank you!

Hi, A computer hangs every day in the morning at a specific time, between 8 AM and 9 AM. We can ping it. Apparently the console works, also gdm works on it, but we are not able to login at all. ssh accepts connections, but the authentication does not continue (e.g. ssh client waits for the server forever...) I even cannot login on the console as "root" because it accepts the user name, but does not ask for the password! Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on the console waits for about one or two minutes, then I see this on the screen: http://www.imghype.com/viewer.php?imgdata=9d95ee9d1fstrange_shutdown.jpg Here is /var/log/messages just before the crash: Oct 10 01:52:47 shopzeus postgres[81114]: [5-1] WARNING: nonstandard use of escape in a string literal at character 193 Oct 10 01:52:47 shopzeus postgres[81114]: [5-2] HINT: Use the escape string syntax for escapes, e.g., E'\r\n'.

After killing this process, the system worked fine. (We have zillions of files on the disks, running "find / ..." is a bad idea.) #3. In the screenshot above, you can see that the IMAP server "dovecot" was terminated on signal 11. Can it be the problem? I can't believe that dovecot could freeze the whole system. #4. Hardware error. I don't think this is the case since the computer freezes at the same time, every day, so it is more likely a software problem.

This could be a periodic job (since you said this happens daily) which runs early in the morning (2-3am?) and for some reason isn't finishing in a timely manner.

Re: [SOLVED] Re: 7.1 hangs, shutdown terminated
Firstly, I see a periodic(8) job that DOES use find -sx, which means your attempt to track it down was faulty, and your syntax should have been "find -sx /" not "find / -sx". See here: /etc/periodic/security/100.chksetuid: find -sx $MP /dev/null -type f \ Thanks for clearing that out. :-) I did not remember what it was and failed to find it. $MP == mountpoint, e.g. /, /var, or any other mounted filesystem. So, what you saw was the periodic check looking for setuid-root binaries. Secondly, the kernel does not spawn userland processes like find(1). Thirdly, dirmem and dirmem_max are *pure* kernel things. What they do is control the amount of memory used for directory structure caching; rather than continually hit the disk every time and spend all that time handling directory contents, the kernel can cache previously-fetched contents in memory Now it stays this value constantly: vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem: 44306131 I think it is now caching everything.

Re: [SOLVED] Re: 7.1 hangs, shutdown terminated
Thank you very much! Probably you are right. Our users use shared IMAP folders and sometimes they keep ten thousands of messages in one folder.

[SOLVED] Re: 7.1 hangs, shutdown terminated
If find / -sx is running and is consuming all CPU, what is the value of vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem: # sysctl -a | grep dirhash shopzeus# sysctl -a | grep dirhash vfs.ufs.dirhash_docheck: 0 vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem: 2095818 vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem: 2097152 vfs.ufs.dirhash_minsize: 2560 Make sure vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem: is not close to vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem: All right. It is close to it. Which one should I increase? I put this into /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem=8228608 Would it be scufficient? We don't know, and can't tell you. You'll have to monitor vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem occasionally to see if you start to reach vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem. I have a tendency to use vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem=16777216, which is 16384*1024 (16MBytes).

Re: gjournal: journaled slices vs. journaled partitions
So how do I achieve per-slice journaling instead of per-partition? The docs only says this: "gjournal only supports UFS2". It does not specifically say that you cannot have per-slice journaling. However, since you could have other filesystems on your slice, I bet that slice based journaling is not supported. Consider this: how would you journal an NTFS file system (and then boot windows after an unclean shutdown?) Another tricky question: why would you journal a SWAP partition?

Creating a CUPS printer instance from web interface?
I would like to create named instances for an Epson printer. We are printing invoices on normal A4, photos on glossy photo paper, and draft papers (with draft quality). E.g. the paper size, margins and print quality changes from time to time. I have two problems. First, I do not see any way on the CUPS web admin interface to add printer instances. I only have 'set printer options' but it does not allow me to create instances. The other problem is that lpoptions lists the options, but I do not know their meaning and the possible values. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpoptions media=A4 finishings=3 copies=1 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 number-up=1 auth-info-required=none job-sheets=none,none printer-info='EPSON Stylus Photo R265' printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 printer-location printer-make-and-model='Epson Stylus Photo R265 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2 Simplified' printer-state=5 printer-state-change-time=1227085737 printer-state-reasons=paused printer-type=8556556 Which option is for printing quality? What are its possible values? It depends on the driver, and therefore it is not covered in the CUPS manual. The drivers themselves does not have a documentation. So where can I get this information?

CUPS: cannot see printer from various program
The printer is Epson Stylus Photo R265. I'm using gutenprint 5 and CUPS. The test page prints well from CUPS. I can also print images and web pages from firefox, because the "CUPS/R265" printer can be selected in the print dialog of firefox. However, when I open an image from eog (eye of gnome), the only printer destination I can choose is "LPR". Which is bad, because this is a printer server with diskless clients, and the users must be able to select print options from the GUI. The system is FreeBSD 7.0. My girlfriend had the same problem with Ubuntu before, but not with kiwi, so it might not be related to FreeBSD.

Re: CUPS: cannot see printer from various program
Hello Laszlo, You might want to add the following lines to /etc/make.conf CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes NO_LPR=yes WITH_CUPS=yes And rebuild the application you want to print from. (The above was found on the excellent guide at http://www.math.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/) Thank you! I already have a running system, so I had to setenv WITH_CUPS cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20 make deinstall make install clean I do not fully understand why it is done this way. Most users - including me - are going to install gnome2 first, and most likely CUPS is not installed by that time. It is also true that many users who install gnome2 will have a printer and want to use it. So I would recommend to create a make option "[X] CUPS support" for gtk20, or at least for gnome2. It was quite hard to find information about this issue on the internet! Should I post a PR for this? (It is not a real bug but I think it causes problems for many users.)

Re: Creating a CUPS printer instance from web interface?
The base page for CUPS has a button labeled "Add Printer". On *my* setup, anyway. On mine too. What it really does is add a queue, so you can do it any number of times for the same physical printer. I did not know that! But it is not clear in the docs. CUPS talks about "printers" and "printer instances". They recommend using lpoptions to create instances, and use them. Moreover, "printer instances" the way they are created with lpoptions are NOT available from the gtk print menu. All right, I'm going to try to add more printers for the same USB device.

jail - beginner questions
I'm experimenting with jails. I have installed a 7.2 stable FreeBSD
inside vmware. Then I have created two jails, using the method written
in the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-build.html
The only thing that didn't work is this:
cd /etc
make distribution DESTDIR=$D
I really think that it should be corrected to:
cd /usr/src
make distribution DESTDIR=$D
After mounting devfs ("mount -t devfs devfs /vm1/dev") I try to start it:
/etc/rc.d/vm1 start vm1
But then I get this error in syslog:
bind: Can't assign requested address
Here is the config from /etc/rc.conf (in the host):
jail_enable="YES"# Set to NO to disable starting of
any jails
jail_list="vm1 vm2" # Space separated list of names of
jails
jail_vm1_rootdir="/vm1" # jail's root directory
jail_vm1_hostname="vm1.localdomain" # jail's hostname
jail_vm1_ip="192.168.0.11" # jail's IP address
jail_vm1_devfs_enable="YES" # mount devfs in the jail
jail_vm1_devfs_ruleset="vm1_ruleset" # devfs ruleset to apply to jail
jail_vm2_rootdir="/vm2" # jail's root directory
jail_vm2_hostname="vm2.localdomain" # jail's hostname
jail_vm2_ip="192.168.0.12" # jail's IP address
jail_vm2_devfs_enable="YES" # mount devfs in the jail
jail_vm2_devfs_ruleset="vm2_ruleset" # devfs ruleset to apply to jail
Please help.

Re: jail - beginner questions
No, I think you added the '/' before 'etc', which isn't in the web page. Gotcha. Is the problem perhaps in your /etc/rc.d/vm1 script? Normally you would use /etc/rc.d/jail. Yes, I'm. Sorry - it was a typo. I used this: /etc/rc.d/jail start vm1 Are those addresses already assigned on the host? Was the jail perhaps already running? My computer is a windows machine, with address 192.168.0.X Then the FreeBSD host is actually a guest os running in wvmare. It has address 192.168.37.133 And finally, the vm1 jail should have 192.168.0.11 I don't know why 192.168.0.11 is not working for the jail. Anyway, if I change the jail's address to 192.168.10.11 then /etc/rc.d/jail start vm1 Starting jails: vm1.localdomain. Now the next question: how can I access the hosted (jailed) OS? I know it is a dumb question, but I have no idea. I would like to: a.) run sshd in the jail b.) login from the host to the jailed (hosted) OS c.) install programs on the jail, configure them and finally d.) use NATD to divert some pacakges from the host to the jail and back Probably this is what everybody does, so if you could point me to a tutorial or something, I would appriciate it.

Re: jail - beginner questions
The address 192.168.0.11 must be assigned to a interface in the host FreeBSD. You can do it before starting the jail, or when the jail is being started. To assign the address before starting the jail do somthing like this: # ifconfig lnc0 alias 192.168.0.11/24 where lnc0 is the name of nic in the host FreeBSD Great. Here is what I did: sorb# mkdir -p /usr/jails/vm1 sorb# cd /usr/src sorb# setenv D /usr/jails/vm1 sorb# make installworld DESTDIR=$D sorb# make distribution DESTDIR=$D sorb# cat >> /etc/rc.conf jail_enable="YES" jail_list="vm1" jail_vm1_rootdir="/usr/jails/vm1" jail_vm1_hostname="vm1.localdomain" jail_vm1_ip="192.168.0.11" jail_vm1_interface="lnc0" jail_vm1_devfs_enable="YES" jail_vm1_devfs_ruleset="vm1_ruleset" ^D sorb#mount -t devfs devfs $D /dev sorb# /etc/rc.d/jail start vm1 Configuring jails:. Starting jails:ifconfig: interface lnc0 does not exist vm1.localdomain. See, I do not understand how this works. If I use a real physical interface then it works: sorb# ifconfig re0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=389b ether 00:1a:4d:7b:cf:d6 inet X.X.X.X netmask 0xff00 broadcast X.X.X.255 inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.11 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active where X.X.X.X is my public internet IP address. But I do not like this. I do not want to expose my jail's private IP address to the internet. Am I too paranoid? Should I just add rules like ipfw add 1000 allow all from X.X.X.X to 192.168.0.11 ipfw add 1001 allow all from 192.168.0.11 to X.X.X.X ipfw add 1002 deny all from any to 192.168.0.11 ipfw add 1003 deny all from 192.168.0.11 to any and be happy? Or would it be better to create a virtual ethernet interface for my jails? Somehow? d.) It requires to use firewall either ipfw or pf. For example you can add to your /etc/pf.conf: nat on lnc0 from 192.168.0.11 to any -> 192.168.37.133 But the firewall requires more lines then this one to work correcly with all network traffic. And you have to know exactly what you want to get for using it. I'm using ipfw. I think I'll use natd+divert on the host. Thank you very much!

fstat bug?
Hi All, I have a Python program that goes up to 100% CPU. Just like this (top): PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 80212 user1 2 440 70520K 16212K select 1 0:30 100.00% /usr/local/bin/python process_updates_ss_od.py -l 10 I have added extra logs and it turns out that there are two threads. One thread is calling "time.sleep()" and the other is calling "os.stat" call. (Actually it is calling os.path.isfile, but I hunted down the last link in the chain.) The most interesting thing is that the process is in "SELECT" state. As far as I know, CPU load should be 0% because "select" state should block program execution until the I/O completes. I must also tell you that the os.stat call is taking long because this system has about 7 million files on a slow disk under heavy load. It would be normal for an os.stat call to return after 10 seconds. I have no problem with that. But I think that the 100% CPU is not acceptable. I guess that the code is running a system call in kernel mode. I think this because I can send a KILL signal to it and the state changes to the following: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 80212 user1 2 440 70520K 15256K STOP5 1:27 100.00% /usr/local/bin/python process_updates_ss_od.py -l 10 So the state of the process changes to "STOP", but the program does not stop until the os.stat call returns back. Sometimes for a minute. Could it be a problem with the operation system? Is it possible that an os.stat call requires 100% CPU power from the OS? (I believe that os.stat ends in fstat()). Or is it a problem with the Python implementation? (Unfortunately I cannot give you an example program. Giving an example would require giving you a slow I/O device with millions of files on it.)

Copy all users between systems
I would like to copy all user accounts, including root from an already installed 8.0 system to a fresh new 8.1 system. My plan is to boot into single user mode, then copy these: /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd /etc/group then run pwd_mkdb and finally restart the system. (Obviously, I also need to copy user home directories) Will this be enough? Did I miss something?

What is loading my server so much?
System is FreeBSD shopzeus.com 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Sun Oct 31 02:55:28 EDT 2010 amd64 It has two quad-core Xeon CPUs, 24GB memory, and a RAID 1+0 array with 10 disks + Areca 1680 controller with 2GB write back cache. Server is running: mailscanner + apache multihost + PHP + postgresql. Main load on the server is usually postgresql. Today something happened. Number of http processes went up to 200. As a result, number of connections to database also went up to 200, and the web server is now refusing clients with "Cannot connect to database" messages (coming from PHP). This is a typical output from top: last pid: 12789; load averages: 7.77, 10.77, 13.46 up 26+03:00:30 06:22:04 6637 processes: 7 running, 623 sleeping, 7 zombie CPU: 32.9% user, 0.0% nice, 7.6% system, 0.6% interrupt, 58.9% idle Mem: 3885M Active, 15G Inact, 3236M Wired, 627M Cache, 2465M Buf, 656M Free Swap: 12G Total, 12M Used, 12G Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 66834 pgsql1 1180 443M 417M CPU22 16:17 99.46% postgres 11473 pgsql1 720 441M 242M sbwait 5 0:02 4.59% postgres 11026 pgsql1 470 439M 249M sbwait 7 0:01 3.17% postgres 6642 www 1 480 236M 42928K select 0 0:01 2.29% httpd 10147 www 1 480 236M 44048K select 6 0:01 2.10% httpd 3961 shopzeus29 440 208M 96364K uwait 4 18.4H 1.37% python Here is what I don't understand. "last pid" is increasing relatively slowly, e.g. there are no hidden processes. Only the first one or two processes are showing CPU load > 10%. The "CPU User%" value is about 50%. We have lots of free memory. I/O load is almost nothing (see iostat below). However, server load is between 7 and 13! In fact sometimes it is above 16.

Re: What is loading my server so much?
Step 1, get them to define "server" and "too slow": If you log in and do shell ops, is the system slow to respond? Based on what you've reported, I'd be willing to bet that shell ops are pretty responsive. I can't be 100% sure without more information, but I'm willing to be that what your users are complaining about is your web application being slow. Since you don't say what that application is, I can only provide general advice. Shell response is fast. The application may be slow, but we should see why (high CPU load or high I/O?) I'm guessing that PostgreSQL is the bottleneck. I'm going to first make a few general suggestions, then provide suggestions on how to isolate the problem more specifically. First off, you have 24G of RAM available and PostgreSQL only seems to have access to 400M of it. Bump shared_buffers up to 2 or 3 G at least, and bump up work_mem to at least a few hundred meg, and maintenance_work_mem up to at 1/2G or so. Good point. Changed shared_buffers to 4G, work_mem to 512M and maintenance_work_mem to 2G If the top and gstat outputs are typical, it looks like PostgreSQL is doing mostly writes, but is not significantly blocked on writes. It looks like individual PostgreSQL processes are simply taking a long time to do their work. What's in your PostgreSQL log files? If there's nothing, then bump up the logging information in your postgresql.conf. I particularly like log_min_duration_statement at 500 ... any query that takes longer than 1/2 second to execute is suspect in the types applications I work with most frequently. Thanks for that hint also. We have some programs making huge queries (once in a day or so) so I set this to 3000 for now. If your application is developed in-house, I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that there are LOTS of indexes missing and that PostgreSQL is doing lots of seq scans where it could run lots faster if it had indexes. Check also your autovacuum settings and ensure that tables are not bloating out of control due to insufficient vacuuming. You may have to vacuum full/ reindex the entire database to get things back under control, which can take a long time if it's badly bloated. Well, we have tables with 5M+ rows (table size over 4G) and we have 500+ tables. This is probably something that is out of scope - probably you cannot help with that without knowing the structure of the database and how it is used, and it would take a long time to understand. But anyway, if there is a problem with the database (not having indexes), we see heavy I/O or CPU load of the postgresql processes right? I mean, if the bottleneck is postgresql, then we should be able to see it at the OS level. Your application may also be suffering from lock contention if there are lots of table locks used. Looking at the pg_locks table while things are slow can quickly identify if this is the case, and looking at pg_stat_activity in conjunction with that table will usually narrow down the problem pretty quickly. We do not issue "lock" statements directly, but we use database transactions. We have a tool for checking the state of those. Most of the time, only a few open database transactions are opened, and usually we don't have locks that are not granted. Finally, if you find that PostgreSQL is the bottleneck and you can't narrow it down enough to fix, join the PostgreSQL general questions mailing list and ask for help with the same level of detail you did here. You'll find that they're an equally helpful community. I'll do that, but first let me test the new settings. Yes, thank you very much for you help.

Re: do i need a dedicated ip address for https?

Obviously, you cannot have a website without an IP address. Another strict rule is that you can only use one SSL certificate per IP address + PORT. This is determined by the SSL protocol, and you cannot do anything to change it. But there are possibilities. You can use different SSL certificates for the same ip address and different port numbers: https://your_domain_1:4430 https://your_domain_2:4431 etc. (where your_domain_1 and your_domain_2 have the same IP, and you have different certificates from them). You can also use many host names with the same IP address and port number, but they will have to share the same SSL certificate. It is not a problem, if they are subdomains, and you own a wildcard certificate. Example: https://sub1.yourdomain.com https://sub2.yourdomain.com https://sub3.yourdomain.com etc. (where you have a wildcard certificate for *.yourdomain.com) And finally, it is possible to use different domains and the same port, without wildcard certificate or subdomains, but then all connecting clients will complain about the problem (e.g. certificate belongs to a domain that differs from the one you are connecting to.) For any serious projects, this is not recommended. You cannot expect customers sending you private information on a website that cannot identify itself...

portmaster + unknown dependency problem
I have a 8.2-STABLE system. Last port upgrade was about a year ago. (I know, this is bad.) I was trying to update all ports, by following the UPDATING file. As it turned out, some ports has been deprecated/deleted. I have a problem in particular with the py-bittornado-core port. I do not need it. So I have deleted it: # pkg_info | grep bittornado # Clearly, it is not installed. However, when I write in this command: # portmaster -a Then I get this error: ===>>> The net-p2p/py-bittornado-core port has been deleted: Has expired: Depends on the deprecated wx 2.4 ===>>> Aborting update Well, here is the question: why does it want to build a port that does not even exist in the ports tree? It was really deleted, there is no such thing as /usr/ports/net-p2p/py-bittornado-core . I have also tried to do this: # portmaster -a -x py-bittornado-core but it has exactly the same problem. Is this a stale dependency to a nonexistent port? How can I overcome this problem?

Share folder over internet
Hi All, Here is a problem that I cannot solve. I have two offices with two file servers (FreeBSD 6.1). Clients are accessing files over samba and nfs (on the local server). I would like to share some directory structures between the two offices. Originally I was thinking about sshfs (mount_sshfs) but I cannot compile fuse from the ports. NFS cannot share subdirectories, only whole filesystems and it is not secure to use over the internet. Security inside the LAN is not important. Most of these folders are "put everything into it" type, e.g. anyone can do anything with them. The users usually store doc, pdf, xls/gnumeric and txt files in them. I'm not interested in solutions where the end user needs to use a special program to access the files. For example, gftp is not an option. This is because these users sometimes does not know what a file is. I need nautilus integration, and mounting/mapping so the files can be opened from any program using file/open. What should I use?

Re: Share folder over internet
You need to create a VPN connection between your two offices. You can do this in a variety of ways, but probably the best solution would be to have static IP's for both offices and a router that has hardware support for VPNs at each office. You can connect the two offices via a VPN connection from router to router. Well, we do not have static IP addresses, and the routers does not support VPN. Also I do not like the idea of VPN because I feel that would forward more packets than needed. I may be wrong. :-) Although we do not have static IP, we have DDNS. Is it possible to do VPN from one FreeBSD box to another and then what? Mount nfs? Mount smb? I can mount a remote smb volume then share it with another smb server, but it looks wreid to me and I'm also concerned about speed. I believe smb is not optimized for speed. If I have to use VPN then I would like to use the most traffic-efficient method over VPN. Can you suggest something?

Re: Share folder over internet
Unless I'm very confused, BSD NFS can export directories and directory trees in addition to filesystems. See export(5). Internet security should be attainable with an appropriate firewall configuration that allows the servers to only talk to each other. IMHO you can export directory trees (-alldirs option), but if you do that then you can list each file system in /etc/exports only once. So it is impossible to export some (different) directories from a filesystem, but not others. But again, this is not a big problem when I use a VPN connection between the two file servers only. Coda is looks VERY interesting! :-) Two key features: "high performance through client side persistent caching" continued operation during partial network failures in server network Promising.

Re: Share folder over internet
I often suggest Coda (ports/net/coda6_server & coda6_client) for this sort of situation, but it has been so many years since I've used it myself that I don't know what state it is in these days. I hope the documentation has improved. Note the client runs on the local file server, so you don't need to change anything on end-users' workstations. If it really has client side caching then it can be better than NFS. However, I just found this on their official website: There were several sweeping changes in freebsd, and in the case where the developers didn't exactly know how to solve it for Coda, they just removed the related code. For instance, they don't support vget with a device/inode number pair anymore, so they simply removed the complete coda_open codepath. As a result it is impossible to open any files or directories in /coda with the current fbsd kernel module. Now I'm starting to loose my enthusiasm about FreeBSD! - sshfs works for Linux, but not for FreeBSD, although ssh is open source and well documented. The guy who developed it says that he could not implement fuse very well because the source code of the FreeBSD kernel is a mess, can this be true? - WEB-DAV fs works for Linux but not for FreeBSD, although DAV is well documented. Why? - Coda client does not work correctly because of... lack of kernel developers? Most suprisingly, Gnome 2.18 and nautilus CAN use WEB-DAV (both http and https), and it can also "mount" sshfs. But this is useless for me because I cannot really mount them, they are available in gnome vfs only. I see signs... is it really the kernel that prevents me from doing what I need to do? Today I also had trouble with mozilla flashplugin. It simply does not work, except with linux-firefox, but then Java stops working. Unfortuntely, I need to use both of them together. Skype does not work very well with FreeBSD, only in linux compat mode etc. I like the idea of having only one, consistent distribution, and having a ports tree and I see other advantages of FreeBSD but I'm starting to think that using it as an application server was a bad idea from my part, simply because the lack of working - otherwise widely used - applications.

Re: Share folder over internet
It is hardly the freebsd community's fault that Skype / Ebay doesn't create a FreeBSD binary. Actually, the linux compatibility layer is one of the great things in FreeBSD. Of course, you may be having other issues we can't know about until you kindly tell us (on a separate thread pls...) Yes, I agree. I did not tell it is the fault of the FreeBSD community. However, when you need to install an application server for a couple of diskless X terminals, you should not use FreeBSD. I'm serious. There are some very important applications that just don't work. :-( ::shrug:: each solution needs to be considered for the problem. It is, after all, your server, feel free to install linux or pay for MS licenses... (btw, have ever actually used windows file sharing over a slow link ? whatever 'ease of use' you *may* have gain (and i'm not sure how much of that there really is) will probably be lost when you consider other factors...) Well, yes. You are right about these factors. In my case, it is almost too late to migrate to Linux. It would cost too much and there would be other disadvantages too.

[At the server end, Captain Obvious prompts me.] I'll check one of my old systems later but I think that's it... Well, I have other users using public keys for logging in so the sshd config must be correct. This is the only user that doesn't work. I can login by typing in the password but I need to login automatically.

Re: ssh2 login with public key - not working
Have you checked /var/log/auth.log on machine to which you are trying to connect? It contains nothing except: Aug 30 13:54:19 box1 sshd[8199]: Accepted publickey for user2 from 81.1.19.245 port 54369 ssh2 Now here is what I did: 1. I deleted user2 with "rmuser user2", but I did not delete its home directory 2. I re-created the user Now it is working! It was so confusing that I tried another thing. Then I tried this with [EMAIL PROTECTED]: rm -fr /root/.ssh cp ~user2/.ssh /root chown -R root:wheel /root/.ssh chmod 700 /root/.ssh chmod 600 /root/.ssh/* chmod 700 /root ssh -l user1 mybox Same problem - not working. Unfortunately, auth.log on box1 only prints a line when it accepts a public key. There are no auth failures because the problem occurs when ssh tries to determine the type of the authentication. Do you have any idea why the recreation of the user solved the problem? And how it is possible that using exactly the same ssh config, the root user cannot login with a public key? (Obviously, I cannot recreate the root user) Thanks, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: sshfs - fuse: failed to open fuse device: No such file or directory
Make sure your dependencies are correct: $ ls /var/db/pkg|grep fuse fusefs-kmod-0.3.9.p1 fusefs-libs-2.7.0_1 fusefs-sshfs-1.8 Same here. :-) It should have been installed automatically. Not sure why it didn't. My mistake. I did not add "fusefs_enable=YES" to rc.conf, because I installed fusefs-sshfs from the ports tree. The ports system installed fusefs-kmod as a dependency for me, and of course I could not read the instructions at the end of the installation. In fact I did not even know that there is separate package for this. (What a pity that sshfs has no manual.)

Re: sshfs - fuse: failed to open fuse device: No such file or directory
Looks like your mount point didn't exist before connecting. Shouldn't mount_sshfs check it?

I do hope fileshare isn't the local machine, cause then you're mounting the directory on itself using ssh/fuse..eew, messy. That is not the case. I used the same user names on both machines with the same uid, so I do not need to use uid mapping. I have to find out how to get rid of that device node, then I'll try again.

sendmail not working?
Hi All, Got a problem with FreeBSD 6.2 (upgraded from 6.1): cron is not sending out e-mails. However, it is running: messias# ps ax | grep cron 988 ?? Ss 0:01.86 /usr/sbin/cron -s But, if I write this into the crontab of root: SHELL=/bin/csh * * * * * echo "Test" then I do not get any e-mail. This machine has an ssh tunnel that forwards TCP/25 port to another machine. Postfix is installed on this machine, but it is not enabled. I believe that sendmail should work for local addresses, even if the SMTP server is not listening locally. At least, sendmail(8) tells this: With no flags, sendmail reads its standard input up to an end-of-file or a line consisting only of a single dot and sends a copy of the mes- sage found there to all of the addresses listed. It determines the network(s) to use based on the syntax and contents of the addresses. Local addresses are looked up in a file and aliased appropriately. Here is a quick test that I did: messias# sendmail gandalf Test2 . messias# mail Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type ? for help. "/var/mail/gandalf": 1 message > 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Nov 10 12:27 13/664 "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA" & I have many scripts that I would like to run from cron. Probably they throw errors, but I have no clue what are those errors, because I'm not getting mails from cron. What should I do? Another question: is it possible to setup cron so that it uses a different SMTP server for sending e-mails? If so, can I specify this for one user only? Well, the obvious solution would be to create a special user and create a .forward file, right?

Xvfb + VNC
Hello, I could install gdm with Xorg and vnc.so module loaded. This is fine, now I can access that X server with vnc. The problem is that the Xorg server needs a video card. So if somebody connects a montior to that server while I'm working from home then he/she will see what I'm doing. (I cannot restrict physical access to that computer, but I do not want others to see my desktop...) My idea is to create a virtual framebuffer server with Xvfb, and load vnc.so module there. Since vnc.so can be password protected, in theory, nobody will have access to that X session, except me. But I cannot do this. Xvfb(1) tells me that it has the same options that Xserver(1) has. The Xserver(1) does not tell me anything about loadable modules, but X is a symlink to Xorg. Well, Xorg has a -config option but Xvfb does not. :-( Does it mean that I cannot load "vnc.so" into the virtual framebuffer server? Is there a better solution? In my dreams: 1. I would run a virtual X server, that is not visible directly (not requiring any video card) 2. I would access this X server with some program remotely (preferrably VNC) 3. This remote access needs to be secure to some extent 4. This remote access should be fast enough to use through a DSL connection Can my dreams come true?

esddsp
Dear List, I would like to use esddsp to forward sounds from a server to several diskless clients. All clients have sound cards, and the esd daemon started with esd -promiscuous -tcp -pubic -port 1500 On the server side, I can play an mp3 file with esddsp -v -s earth.msnet:1500 mpg123 something.mp3 My problem is that esddsp creates the pseudo device for the given process only. In other words, /dev/dsp is not inherited by child processes. For example doing esddsp -v -s earth.msnet:1500 x11amp will not work, because x11amp uses a different process for decoding. What I would like to do is to have all gnome2 system sounds, x11amp, firefox/flash sounds etc. working. But of course, it is not a good idea to start everything with esddsp, and in many cases it is not possible at all. Question is, is there a way to tell esddsp that the created pseudo dsp device should be used for all applications?

Disappearing files, created from /etc/X11/Xclients
Hi,
I'm running several diskless boxes. They connect to the same server with
xdmpc (gdm). When a user logs in, the WM is started by script
/etc/X11/Xclients:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap /etc/X11/xmodmap.hun
exec /etc/X11/startwm.py
You can find the startwm.py script at the end of this e-mail. Most
importantly, I wanted to save client IP addresses and the date of the
login into different files. These files are located under
/tmp/disklessips/*. Rights for /tmp/diskless is octal 42777:
drwxrwsrwx 2 root users 512 Mar 20 14:41 disklessips
The strange thing is that, if I login with user 'gandalf' who is in
'wheel', the files are created and saved into
/tmp/disklessips/gandalf.txt and /tmp/disklessips/gandalf.history.txt.
But if I login with any other user (they are in group 'users'), no files
are created, but the window manager IS started. The startwm.py program
creates these files BEFORE starting gnome, and it does throw an error.
So they must have been created, but I do not see them anywhere. They
simply disappear. Never existed? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Laszlo

Re: Disappearing files, created from /etc/X11/Xclients
Unfortunately, I cannot debug this way. The error is that no files are created by normal users, so I cannot use files for logging. Also there is no console because this is the /etcX11/Xclients script, e.g. it is executed by gdm after logging in to X window system through xdmpc. Well, I might setup an xml rpc server for logging, but hey, if I cannot write into a wicked file then I should not start with complex protocols and networking. Humour me. Try opening a fixed filename in a location which you double-check is world-writeable. E.g. /tmp/FOO and print all your relevant variables there. If it works as gandalf, then delete that trace file and try as a non-working user. If that fails, then try opening the file in the home directory of the user who you are testing as. I tried this before I wrote to this list. It does not work. No 'normal' users can create these files from /etc/X11/Xclients. But after gnome starts up, they can create these files. If I login with a normal user and I try to re-run /etc/X11/Xclients then the files gets created, and finally I get an error message telling that gnome is already running. If that fails then you can try logging them with syslog. How can I do that from Python? :-) I tried this: from syslog import * syslog(|LOG_INFO | LOG_USER, 'test') No exception raised but I found nothing under /var/log.| Are you sure that if say the file() fails, that a window manager won't start anyway? You can test that by making the filename something clearly non-existent. To your request, I changed the ddir variable to '/nonexistent', and gnome was started! So you found the problem! Thanks! :-) It was that gdm started /usr/local/etc/gdm/Xsession. That script started /etc/X11/Xclients but ONLY for user gandalf. It is because I selected 'use system default session' in gdm before logging in. It was months ago, and I forgot it. Other users were using the default gnome session, e.g. they were NOT executing the Xclients script. Thank you again!

gmplayer freezes with esd
Hi! I tried to send the output of gmplayer to another computer. The other computer is running an esd daemon. It works fine except that the volume is always at 100%. If I try to change the volume inside gmplayer then it freezes immediately. I guess it is because it tries to use /dev/mixer but I do not have any sound card installed on the machine where gmplayer is running. I also tried to "use software mixer" but it did not work. It is a bug in gmplayer, or in esd? I also tried esddsp with "-m", which SHOULD enable mixer support: esddsp -m -s 192-168.0.130:1500 mplayer test.wav but mplayer tells me that it could not "connect" to /dev/dsp. Strange, because the same works with mpg123. I know that this is not strictly FreeBSD related but ESD is not under active development. The last news on their site is from March 5, 2000. Probably many of you are using Esd because it is the default sound daemon for gnome, this is why I dare to ask here. Plese write me if you have any suggestion, any idea how to replace ESD with something that works with gnome and has working mixer support. All I need is to forward all sounds from one machine to another.

interpreting uptime output
From the manual: NAME uptime -- show how long system has been running SYNOPSIS uptime DESCRIPTION The uptime utility displays the current time, the length of time the sys- tem has been up, the number of users, and the load average of the system over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. This is great, except that it does not tell me what "0.5" means? Example: 1:41PM up 5 days, 2:22, 4 users, load averages: 0.36, 0.42, 0.51 The only referenced material in the man page is w(1) which tells this: > The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.

Re: Cannot delete user???
Did you possibly delete it from /etc/passwd before you did everything else? Yes. It's not safe to edit /etc/password directly. If you issue vipw, does the user still show up? if so, delete him there and /etc/passwd should be regenerated correctly. I did not know this. Thank you! I deleted them from vipw and now they are gone. Thank you!

skype on diskless machine
Hello, I have an appserver (6.1-RELEASE-p10) and many diskless clients connected to it. I'm using the diskless clients as X terminals (gdm is running on the appserver). Any user is able to use any terminal, because they run all applications on the appserver. Here is the basic problem: users need to use skype. I have two options: #1 Run skype on the diskless machine. Then it can handle audio I/O correctly, but the users cannot save their login names and passwords. (This option is also good because the diskless machine can "kldload linux" while the appserver does not need to, e.g. the appserver will be able to run application in native mode only). #2 Run skype on the appserver. Then users can save their skype login information but they are not able to make calls. Well, I could forward the audio output to the client using a sound daemon (e.g. "esd -promiscuous -tcp -pubic -port 1500" on the diskless and "esddsp -v -s diskless101:1500 skype_bin") but I could not find out how to forward digital input. I see no way to forward digital input through a sound daemon, so using a microphone would be impossible. The question is, how can I solve this problem? Should I use #1 and tell my users that they must not save their skype login names and passwords? Or should I use #2 in combination with a special sound daemon that is able to forward digital input as well? (How?)

Re: skype on diskless machine
Why not just run skype on the diskless PC and have the user's home directory mountend over NFS? That way you can have both things you want. I thought about this, but the users are never logged into the diskless machine. (They do not even have a home directory there. The diskless machine has a special rc script that executes "X -query " in an infinite loop, so users are not able to access anything on the diskless machine.) You are right, it would be possible to do this with NFS, but first I must write a new service for the diskless clients. That service could be asked by the appserver to mount the ~/.Skype directory of the given user into the home directory of the user who happens to run the X server on the diskless machine, and then start skype. This new service must be called from /etc/Xclients or ~/.xinitrc on the appserver. At that time the username and the address of the diskless machine will be known. I imagine this /etc/Xclients: # Allow the diskless machine to display skype on our screen xhost + # Ask the diskless machine to mount our .Skype directory and launch sykpe_bin send_skype_start_request # Start the wm exec gnome-session Well, this is the theory. But I would not like to write a new service program if possible. But yes, this would work. Is this the only way?

ppp is broken???
Hi All, I have a FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE system that connects to the internet with an ADSL connection. (pppoe). After some hours, it gets disconnected and reconnected again. Each time it gets a new IP. The interesting part is that the old IP address remains assigned. Here is an example: tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1492 inet 62.112.215.17 --> 62.112.192.130 netmask 0x inet 83.216.40.248 --> 62.112.192.142 netmask 0x inet 83.216.56.211 --> 62.112.192.150 netmask 0x Opened by PID 241 After the third or fourth connection was made, internet stops working, and I have to reboot the computer.

rdesktop: segmentation fault under xorg 7.2
Hello All, I have just upgraded my FreeBSD ports. uname -a output: FreeBSD cassiopeia.ronet 6.2-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p1 #4: Sat Feb 17 16:56:53 CET 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CASSIOPEIA i386 The ports tree was updated about three days ago. The newly updated rdesktop application exits with "segmentation fault (core dumped)". I also tried to install an older version from source (rdesktop 1.4.1) and had the same result. Finally, I tried to run rdesktop but send its output to a different machine (Ubuntu Feisty). It worked perfectly. So I believe that the problem is with the new xorg version, not rdesktop. I'm not 100% sure. Do you have the same problem? Is there a solution for this? BTW, as a workaround, I'm using an open source java based RDP implementation and it works.
