Changing console behaviour

I created a fresh FBSD 4.7 installation and ran the install script which ran through without a problem. Unfortunately the console behavour is still very abnormal, which leads me to believe that there may be some error in the way the console is configured. Which brings me to my question, is there any way to alter the console behaviour at all, and if so what changes would be most likeley to improve compatibility to MS Foxpro Unix for SCO?

Boot/install/config util like Solaris Jumpstart?
We're planning on deploying a handful of commodity boxes to act as a loose mail cluster hidden behind a pair of load balancers. They'll have almost identical SW installs: APOP, SMTP, IMAP, LDAP. Naturally they'll have per-box differences, like their ethernet address, perhaps some box-unique service like webmail. If we were deploying on Solaris, we'd use their Jumpstart tools. It allows diskless booting, then automated install of base OS, additional packages, then subsequent configuration tweaks. Very handy for a rack of 1U boxes. Is there something like this for FreeBSD? Or do I have to roll my own, most likely based on the existing dhcp/tftp/nfs diskless boot code with per subnet and per target address filesystem overlays (/etc/rc.d/[init]diskless)? Thanks.

Re: transparent ipfw
Been browsing for a bit (knowing I will get some rtfm responses from this) but havnt come across a solid answer for this. Most solutions involve NAT or some other non-routable ip block type of solution. Have the following (192.168.100.0/24 used in place of routable addresses) - Internet connection coming into port 1 of Cisco switch(switch address 192.168.100.1). - Other FreeBSD servers(192.168.100.2 - 192.168.100.252) connected to various ports on the switch using the switch as the gateway device. - Other networks(192.168.101.0/24 etc...) connected to the switch which is bridging them over to the internet connection out of port 1. Wish to place a FreeBSD server in front of the switch to count traffic to and from various IP addresses for the entire network. NIC1 on the FreeBSD box would go to the Internet Connection NIC2 on the FreeBSD box would go to the switch. All addresses used are routable(3 /24 blocks will be coming down to NIC1), and all addresses/packets should be passed through without any NAT or other readdressing taking place. Aside from telnetting into the box itself, it doesn't need any IP addresses except for whatever is needed for the above setup. Comments appreciated, this would be my first implementation of ipfw / fw rules in general using a FreeBSD box. In your kernel: options BRIDGE options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=xx # where xx == any number In /etc/sysctl.conf net.link.ether.bridge net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw No IP's needed now. You could put one on the switch side of the box, for ssh access. Then your IP's can be placed directly on the servers themselves. This setup (bridged) is great because if for some reason the bridge fails, or it needs to be taken offline, you can pull the wire from the bridge, plug it back into the switch and your immediatly back in business. (of course less your firewall). If you need help with this, I will be happy to give you more info. I have this exact setup in two places at this ISP I work for, plus I use it at home to protect the integrity of my wireless lan (this one is running IPSec however).

I cant keep my CDROM and CDWRITER on the same controller as I need to copy on-the-Fly. Can you please help me to make my CDROM work as a slave to the HD? Get a better CD ROM? Search the list archives for threads on CD ROMs. I believe the upshot is that many CD ROMs have badly implemented ATA interfaces that don't work well with certain other interfaces. (i.e. You CD ROM works OK with a CD burner that's only doing ATA 33, but can't function on a chain with a HDD that's doing ATA 100) The problem seems to be fairly common, it comes up on the list about once a month. I've seen it a number of times as well, and the solution has always been to move the CD ROM to the secondary chain. In your case, moving to the secondary chain is a problem (I assume) because you want to dup CDs at the max speed the burner will go.

Therefore the only files/directories the daemon can see, are those located within this directory. (In some ways this is not unlike the view of the filesystem given to ftp users when the default ftp root of an ftp server is set to something other than the real root directory.) FREEBSD DETAILS On FreeBSD, the default location for Bind's configuration files is /etc/namedb. Sometimes we also use a subdirectory /etc/namedb/s, this is used to create a sandbox, which limits some of the access the named daemon has but not nearly as securely as using chroot. Bind9 now has a special feature which makes it a little easier to chroot, among other things eliminating the need to place shared libraries and other executables in the chroot jail. Since Bind already exists in the base FreeBSD system, for thoroughness we should consider renaming the existing files in order to minimize confusion and mixed versions. Here is a list of files to consider renaming or removing: /usr/bin/dig /usr/bin/dnsquery /usr/bin/host /usr/libexec/dnskeygen /usr/libexec/named-xfer /usr/sbin/named /usr/sbin/ndc /usr/sbin/nslookup /usr/sbin/nsupdate For those who regularly rebuild their system from source, once you've installed an independent version of Bind it's best to configure your system to no longer build the version in the base system. This is done by adding the following entry to /etc/make.conf (if this file doesn't exist, just create it and add the following line - like rc.conf it only contains items which override default settings): NO_BIND=true We will move our configuration and other necessary files to /var/chroot/named, which will allow us to create logfiles within the chroot jail without filling up ie the / filesystem. Create the necessary directories and permissions: mkdir /var/chroot mkdir /var/chroot/named chown bind.bind /var/chroot/named chmod 750 /var/chroot/named cd /var/chroot/named mkdir etc mkdir etc/namedb mkdir var mkdir dev Create the special files and set permissions: cp -p /etc/localtime

When you write to a RAID-1 mirror on such a device, does the CPU and PCI bus see two copies of the data? Or does the Promise or HPT deal with distributing the data across the right devices itself? I know from my own experience and that of other people that the Linux software RAID outperforms the hardware RAID of these devices. I'm willing to bet that the FreeBSD RAID at least comes close, if not betters the Linux performance. Software-based RAID can do fine for things like -0 -1; but without numbers, subjective discussion of performance can be misleading -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

disabling sendmail and using postfix
Hi, (freebsd newbie) I've installed postfix from ports. At the end of the installion script I was asked if it should modify the /etc/mail/mailer.conf file which I answered with yes! My question is, how is postfix started? It did not install a .sh file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Is still started with the sendmail_enable=yes variable in rc.conf or do I have to set sendmail_enable=NONE, and add something different to use postfix? What other specific freebsd files do I have to or should I modify when using postfix (for example like make.conf)? Where can I find more info when using postfix on freebsd?

Re: Installing ports witout internet

My question is: Is it possible to install applications (using the port collection ) on a machine that's not connected to the internet? If yes, what are the requirements? Possible? Of course. Fun? Not exactly. Thing is, FreeBSD is designed to be connected to a network. Things are so easy that I constantly amaze people with installing all sorts of software just by typing a few words. Once you disconnect from the network, you have to do all of the dependency checking, downloading, transferring, building, etc manually. It won't be fun. Look at the man pages for the pkg_* tools and see what help is there for determining dependencies and downloading tarballs, but I really think you will be much happier if you can just connect to the network. _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

If this is not the right fourm to ask this question, please redirect me to
the correct place, or documentation which addresses this issue.
I am setting up an internal (192.168.x.x) network of computers consisting
of jail(8)'d virtual machines. I have set up djbdns to provide DNS service
for this internal network.
I have assigned my 192.168.x.x addresses to the lo0 interface so I don't
have to make major adjustments to my firewall ruleset.
I am able to ping all my internal machines from the host computer. I am
able to do dns lookups using the dns tools provided with djbdns, and the
nslookup and dig tools. So I am confident that name resolution is working.
Within the jailed hosts, I have turned off the portmap, syslogd, sendmail,
and inetd daemons and am running only cron and sshd daemons upon start up.
But when I attempt to ssh into one of the jailed hosts, the connection
times out and reports: Connection closed by 192.168.1.100.
A partial sockstat reading while the hosts are attempting to connect
shows:
USER COMMANDPID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
sshd sshd 596134 tcp4 192.168.1.100:22 192.168.1.100:2604
sshd sshd 596137 udp4 192.168.1.100:2625192.168.1.1:53
root sshd 596124 tcp4 192.168.1.100:22 192.168.1.100:2604
cary ssh 596113 tcp4 192.168.1.100:2604192.168.1.100:22
A quick description of the addresses:
150.252.106.57 - external IP address of host computer, also running
dnscache for external lookups
192.168.1.1 - IP address of internal dnscache for 192.168.x.x addresses
192.168.1.100 - IP address of jail(8)'d host
192.168.53.1 - IP address of jail(8)'d tinydns server host
ssh debugging output shows:
[snip initial key-exchange]
debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS
debug1: newkeys: mode 0
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: done: ssh_kex2.
debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST
debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth
debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT
{and ssh hangs here...}
The messages, security, and auth logs under /var/log in the jail'd host
are completly empty. Under the host machine logs , there is nothing as
well.
I'm at a loss of what else to trouble shoot. I'm not subscribed to the
list so if you could Cc: me, I would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for any help offered!

POST data not available in cgi perl scripts
I understand this might be a little off topic but I can only reproduce the
problem on one of my FreeBSD server, so it's not that much OT.
It's very simple, the data from a HTTP POST never reaches my CGI perl scripts.
There are no errors in the server log, the CGI executes fine, no debug with
CGI::Carp, etc.. only thing is that the POST data is always empty. And that
no matter what browser I use of course. Also I'm using CGI.pm, but handling
it by hand yields the same results. The POST DATA is always empty.
Though if I run my script with 'perl -c' in interactive mode and POST
something it works ok and the script gets my POST DATA without problem.
Displaying the %ENV shows the correct QUERY_STRING when using GET, but with
POST the POST DATA never makes it to the script.
This happens only on one of my FreeBSD : 4.7-RELEASE, apache 1.3.27, system
perl v5.005_03, whereas the same CGI scripts run fine on my other 5.0-RELEASE
and 4.4-RELEASE, with the same apache version, and perl different or the same.
I have no idea where or what I could look to solve the problem. Maybe others
have had the same issue or any perl/cgi gurus have any ideas for me?
I will be glad to provide any additional info or config files.
TIA a lot for any hints
--
Olivier
PS: An example of a very basic test that fails, I POST into this CGI script,
and the output of the POST data is empty, though CONTENT_LENGTH is correct :
FILE post.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print Content-type:text/html\n\n;
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
print DATA: [$buffer]br\n; # - nothing output between the brackets here
@pairs = split(//, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack(C, hex($1))/eg;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}
print htmlbody;
foreach $key (keys(%FORM)) {
print $key = $FORM{$key}br;
}
# ^^^ here my output is always empty too
foreach $key (sort(keys %ENV)) {
print $key = $ENV{$key}br\n;
}
print /body/html;

ng_pppoe: session in wrong state
Hi!
Yesterday, I started having problems with my ADSL PPPoE connection. My
connection would be slow for about 20 minutes then just timeout. When
ppp tries to connect again, the kernel says:
/kernel: session in wrong state
I search the mailing lists and found a message with a similar problem
but no solution.
ppp just goes through the procedure as if the server wasn't there:
Mar 11 18:24:11 ppp[2309]: tun0: Phase: deflink: dial - carrier
Mar 11 18:24:16 ppp[2309]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Disconnected!
I found that the message is sent from ng_pppoe.c:1084:
/*
* Check the session is in the right state.
* It needs to be in PPPOE_SINIT.
*/
sp = sendhook-private;
if (sp-state != PPPOE_SINIT) {
printf(session in wrong state\n);
LEAVE(ENETUNREACH);
}
This doesn't seem to be a new commit, so I think it might be related
to my setup here.
I am able to reconnect by power-cycling the modem. The disconnect
sometimes occurs with a:
Mar 11 18:21:10 ppp[2253]: tun0: Phase: deflink: ** Too many LQR packets lost **
Mar 11 18:21:10 ppp[2253]: tun0: CCP: deflink: State change Stopped -- Closed
so I thought of disabling the LQR. I have yet to see an effect.
Here is my ppp.conf:
default:
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
# Ensure that device references the correct serial port
# for your modem. (cuaa0 = COM1, cuaa1 = COM2)
#
set device /dev/cuaa2

set speed 115200
set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \

set dial
set login
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
add default HISADDR# Add a (sticky) default route

I have just upgraded this machine to 4.8-RC, and I have the same
results. The OS before was 4.6-STABLE.

nasty HD crash -- can any one help with suggestions?
Murphy struck with a vengeance this morning. I have all my clients data on drive 2 in my server (why, because I was about to do a machine / OS swap).

Mounting a Bootable FreeBSD disk
This is a time when I don't understand all I know yet. I just built a system using the FreeBSD4.7 CDROM and then removed that bootable drive and temporarily added it to another identical FreeBSD box as a second drive. I added it hot for practice in an upcoming upgrade and used camcontrol rescan 0:1:0 to get the running system to see the new drive. This appeared to go without a hitch and the kernel printed several diagnostic messages about the new drive. Good, so far. I know that secondary drives containing a UNIX file system are extremely easy to mount. This bootable drive, when in its proper slot, brings a system right up with no errors. When I try to run fsck on /dev/da1 or mount /dev/da1s1 on /mnt, the complaint is of a bad superblock. Should a regular mount command work? Unless the SCSI start up procedure corrupted the drive, I don't see why there should be any complaint. Again, my procedure was to run camcontrol rescan 0:1:0 to make the system see the new SCSI device. Then I tried to fsck and or mount and that's when I got all the bad superblock messages. The disk in question is bootable right in to FreeBSD with no boot manager or multiple OS's. It is as simple as it gets. The plan is to temporarily mount the drive, make a tar ball of the whole thing, and then put it back in its home server. The errors remind me of what I saw the first time I ever tried to mount a DOS-formatted floppy disk or a CDROM before I read about the special forms of mount that exist in FreeBSD.

5.0 Install Kernel/Dell Inspiron 2650
Apparently, I need to disable eisa support to successfully boot a kernel on my Dell Inspiron 2650. In 4.x, I would do a `boot -c` followed by `eisa 0`. What about FreeBSD 5.0? I tried `set hint.eisa.0.disabled=1` at the stage 3 boot prompt. It didn't seem to work. Any other ideas? I _really_ need the ACPI support. _Any_ help is appriciated. Thanks in advance, Lucas P.S.

sfs UID 71

The only thing I had done different was to run tripwire --check for the first time on that system. (I had installed tripwire a few weeks earlier but not used it). Am I correct in assuming that tripwire creates that user/groups the first time it is used (rather than installed), or should I investigate further?

It Depends Thanks for the input ... that was definately an interesting article. I would have expected dirhash to do more but ... It does for simple filename lookup operations, and from your description that might be just what you want. See the charts near the middle of the document. Most of the benchmark tests later in the paper also timed creation of files, and softupdates sort of blew the scale :) Bumping vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem might help if you have a lot of directories that will be hashed. For a time, there was a filesystem called ifs which basically was FFS with no directories, and all the files named by their inodes for immediate lookup. It was removed to make way for UFS2, though, but I believe it will be put back at some point. too big. The question I need to answer is: how many files can a directory contain before the system determines that no more files should be placed in it? The database will determine where and what file to retrieve, so I don't need to worry about the listing getting too long to be easily managed by command-line tools, but I want to make sure that finding a specific file in that directory doesn't get too awfully time-consuming. I don't think there is a limit on the number of files.
