I've never used it, but based on the way it reads, it seems like the
overhead of the calls on even a moderately busy site could have serious
server impacts.
The alternative is the built-in fopen('protocol://server/resource', 'r') and
that is much more error prone. Are you not mixing the cURL alternative to

Make sure you're up-to-date - it may be a security hole.
Otherwise: use top(1) and check if at some point you see a httpd process
spinning wildly for a long time, while memory grows.
A frequent problem, is that somebody coded an infinite loop, filling a

Correct. We've talked about enhancing the scripts so that this gets included automatically, but it can be problematic since the source location of the packages might be unknown at the time of the build. Do you mean the distfiles here, or the resulting packages? If talking about the packages, isn't it as simple as moving the $CHROOT_DIR/usr/ports/packages into $CHROOT_DIR/R/cdrom and using a similar approach as portupgrade? Otherwise an ls */*/*.tbz should print a workable list. If the distfiles, then one can advise in the release manpage, to do: /usr/src/release/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh 1 | xargs portinstall --fetch-only and then proceed with RELEASEDISTFILES argument.

I don't know more specifics. Kris The 'rerelease' target will start up a build where it left off, without cleaning the CHROOTDIR area first. Hmm - this is much clearer then: Assumes that the output of a release build has been manually modified, and performs the minimal number of steps to rebuild the release using the intermediate output of the previous ``make release''. The RELEASENOUPDATE flag will prevent the scripts for doing a cvs update on the tree. Both of these are useful for restarting a paused build. Also, depending on what actions you want to modify or restart, you might need to remove certain makefile marker files at $CHROOTDIR/usr/obj/usr/src/release.

Adding /var/run/ipmon.pid at the end of newsyslog.conf line above stops
the above symptom, but ipmon stopped logging after each rotation.
This should be the correct thing to do: ipmon should interpret a HUP
signal to mean 'reopen log files' -- unless it's changed dramatically
between 4.x and 5.x[*], in which case you'll have to hunt down what
should be done instead by reading the documentation or the code or
something.
It does:
ipmon.c:1452
if (donehup) {
donehup = 0;
if (newlog) {
fclose(log);
log = newlog;
newlog = NULL;
}
}
And:
static void handlehup(sig)
int sig;
{
FILE*fp;
signal(SIGHUP, handlehup);
if (logfile (fp = fopen(logfile, a)))
newlog = fp;
init_tabs();
donehup = 1;
}
The only codepath I can see, that could cause this behavior, would be if the
fopen fails, because newsyslog is holding a lock on the file at the time it
signals ipmon.

In a well-maintained system, /etc/make.conf should reflect any alterations to the base installation and the rest can be found in /var/db/pkg/*. -- Melvyn === FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29 00:15:33 CET 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 === pgp0.pgp Description: signature

You should uninstall www/mod_php4 (just force it). Then install lang/php4. The lang/php4 port will check for the existence of an apache installation and install the apache module (which is www/mod_php4) accordingly. Thanks for your help. Last May when I first started working with php another genteman said to forget lang/php4 and just install mod_php4. This worked for awhile. Now that I'm trying to merge php with mysql || postresql, things are more complcated. If somebody tells you to 'forget about something', the next question should be 'why?' :). www/mod_php4: ONLY the apache module. www/php4-cgi: ONLY the CGI module lang/mod_php4-cli: ONLY the Command Line Interface lang/php4: By default the CLI module and if 'apxs' is found it will install the apache module as well. Since you now need both the CLI as well as the apache module, you should uninstall www/mod_php4 and install lang/php4. As a side note: Having a php-cli available for cronjobs is *very* convenient, that's why I always go with that port even when I've got no immediate use for it. Last time I checked www/phpgroupware requires it for cleanups and sending out alerts.

Yes /var/db seems to make sense, but most /var filesystems would be fairly small. By tradition /var is for 'variable data'. By tradition, /var has been used for mail and news and as such do not require large partitions unless you run binary newsgroups. Therefore most /var partitions are small. However - I agree that the chosen default is not up-to-par with the use of MySQL, especially since you would take smaller fragment size for a /var partition if you have a busy mail- or newsserver and that certainly won't benefit MySQL. Is it generally common practice to create a symbolic link to somewhere on, say, /usr to store the databasi? If you know beforehand that you're going to run a mysql database with large databases (or use innodb which will never shrink!), than it's wise to create a large partition /var/db/mysql on boot. Otherwise you can set the DB_DIR variable during installation of MySQL to f.e.: /usr/local/var/mysql which is not unheard of. On my workstation I use /usr/db/mysql, but on my workstation I also have a 15G /usr partition. Whichever you choose, it's best to choose a DB_DIR ending in /mysql, so you can always decide to add another disk and mount that as $DB_DIR. By the way: don't underestimate the size of the binary logs, especially with large inserts. -- Melvyn === FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29 00:15:33 CET 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 === pgp0.pgp Description: signature

Since you're refering to 'ics' I guess you're gateway is an MS box and doesn't run DNS or a DNS forwarder at best. Right, I think. It's a windoz xp home edition box getting dns via dial-up. At least I think I'm saying that correctly. I checked your original message again. It says something about some SwamiSalami hostname. Is that by any chance the 'ServerName' of the main server? That is what mod_unique_id is trying to resolve. If no ServerName is set, it takes the hostname of the computer. The apache manual entry for mod_unique_id didn't say a whole lot. This must be a default and I wonder if it's something I will eventually miss. What's it do, or can you point to a more in depth explanation I can read? It creates a unique id for every request. This is used by mod_usertrack to generate a session id. There are some other modules that also use this feature, but I can't think of any off-hand. It's also convenient if you use an log-analyzer that checks whether there are duplicate lines. You can log the created id in a separate field and thus make sure that the same file requested twice within a second, from the same host, by the same browser (think /images/spacer.gif) is something else then a duplicate logline in the file. In a nutshell: if you don't care about mod_usertrack or wrongly detected duplicate loglines, you have no use for mod_unique_id. Any other apache module requiring it, will complain soon enough, but since you have it running without - you seem to have no such dependency. -- Melvyn === FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29 00:15:33 CET 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 === pgp0.pgp Description: signature

The only conclusion one can draw from the test results is that IPFILTER gets access to the packets before the log_in_vain Mib does. To extrapolate on this, it would indicate the other network security Mibs I pointed out in my original post are in the same boat as log_in_vain. I haven't looked at specifics, but this sounds logical to me. MIB's control or inform about system states. A firewall's task is to prevent stuff from entering the system. The remaining question then is does the IPFW firewall work the same way. If it does then all those network security Mib's only have effect on FBSD systems that are not running an firewall. Not necessarily. You blocked all traffic, so the system does not register the specific event you're looking at. Did you try just enabling the firewall but setting an allow all rule? It's my opinion that in today's world of such emphasis on network security that an clear understand of these MIB's are absolutely necessary, indispensable, requisite information that has to be disseminated to the FBSD community and not buried in some obscure, very hard to find place like it currently is. Documentation on many MIB's is hard to find indeed. Maybe you should join the documentation team to help out - but - in this specific case, the 2 ( ipfw2 on -CURRENT makes 3 even) firewall implementations are well documented and should instead be used if one is concerned about security, because they can log and handle anything *before* it enters the system. Here is the documentation I created in the sysctl.conf file. What do you think about it?
