filtering syslog by remote host?

2001-07-02 Thread Rasputin


Hi there - wondered if BSD's native syslog could
filter events based on the orginating host?

man syslog.conf seems to indicate it can, but I can't get it working.

(Most online resources refer to syslog-ng, but I'm hoping to do it with the base
system if possible)

Does anyone have a working config they could post?

Thanks a lot.

setting pci pnp SMC2602W

2001-07-02 Thread Peter Blok

I am running 4.3-STABLE, version of 2 july. I have a SMC2602W card (PCI to
PCMCIA bridge to SMC2632W) wireless LAN adapter. The kernel recognizes the
adapter, bit fails to allocate an interrupt No irq?! message because the
IRQ is already occupied. The if_wi driver doesn't allow RF_SHAREABLE irqs.

How can I force an interrupt to the value I want?

 What are the plans regarding updating to BIND version 9

bind should be made a port, IMHO, and take it's way out of the base
system, being replaced by an asynchronous resolver library (there are
many).

bind9 already is a port, btw

This has been discussed in depth in the -mobile list. Search the archives.

The short answer is that this should be working in -CURRENT now, but not
-STABLE.

 Actually, it should go from 1-16.  A more compact way to do it would
 be:

Try piping it to tail, that compresses the output nicely:

#!/bin/sh
i=1
while [ $i -le 16 ] ; do
traceroute cvsup$i.freebsd.org|tail -n 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

This gives you a nice two-line summary of each traceroute, at least it did
on my 4.3-STABLE server.

Hard lockups since cvsup'ing Jul 1st. Help!

2001-07-02 Thread Matthew Hall


The kernel/world I built on Sunday night seem to lock my
system up hard after 3-5 minutes. 

My system

Dual PIII 650's
AMI MegaRAID 1400
256mb ram
2 linksys 10/100 (version 4.0's)

I was tracking RELENG_4 ... the last known good kernel I
had was from about the 10th of June. Can anyone tell me
if anything went in from then till now that might effect
my raid controller, ethernet cards, linux emulation, my
u160 disks, etc?

I don't know why my system is locking up so completely -
I've never had FreeBSD do this to me. :-) 

If there's any more information I can provide, please let
me know. Right now I'm cvsup'ing back to June 1st (to be
safe) ...

I don't have any information except to say me too! I was CVSup'ing and
trying to sync all my machines to the latest -STABLE on Friday night. As I
usually do, I installed just the kernel and rebooted to see if things were
ok. Well, they weren't. Hard lock, no keyboard activity could not telnet in,
could not ping, couldn't do anything. Word to the wise--as long as you have
physical access to the machine, ALWAYS test the new kernel before proceeding
with installworld! There are these odd times when something will be wrong and
it's MUCH easier to stop an upgrade cycle after installkernel versus backing
out everything after installworld!

I reverted back to kernel.old and the machine was solid again, so I kindly
just backed out of that upgrade cycle restoring the kernel and /modules. I
figured it was just a fluke or some wierd thing so I haven't reported it until
now, but there certainly is something that has gone deathly south here.

My machine is an Abit BP6 dual Celeron board with BX chipset and two fxp
NICs. Been rock solid for years and still rock solid with kernel.old from
the beginning part of June (sorry no exact date).

After I make sure that my old kernel still worked, I tried booting into the
new kernel to run some tops and vmstat -i and stuff, but the machine
locked up too soon for me to type anything (just after logging into the
console, BOOM).

I've since CVS'uped from Sunday and just manually copied a new kernel to / but
didn't have time to test it out.

Does anybody have any clues as to how we go about tracking this down (aside
from the binary search through all the commits from the last known good
kernel)? I'm going to try to CVSup again and also build a uni-processor kernel.

RE: BIND-9.x

2001-07-02 Thread steve . d . meacham

Even though about 1/3 of my FreeBSD installs need to run DNS servers, 
I'd be happy to see it removed from the base system.

My understanding was that the version kept in the base system is what 
the committers and dev team consider the most stable, secure and 
compatible release.  This, of course, would not necessarily meant the 
latest (see OpenSS*).

I hadn't though about that, but I believe I'd support it.

Most (I'm guessing here) FreeBSD systems don't run a DNS server.
Those that need to could install a port.

BIND seems to be in the same catagory as sendmail, contributed
software that many people prefer to replace with something more
simple.
