routing tuning ?
Hi I've setup a router using FreeBSD 4.10 release on a PII 350Mhz with 96 MB RAM. I wonder if there are some tunable parameters I should tweak ( thru sysctl ? ) to tune the link to the ISP which is supposed to be a 10 Mbits/s link ?

As I didn't start using FreeBSD on the desktop until 5.2 came out, I can't say that this is in anyway authoritative, and possibly isn't even helpful, though DSP_BUFFSIZE is not among the options that are setable in the kernel config file and any attempt to set it gives an error when config is run.

You've probably replaced your ppp(8) with something else, with poor consequences. Can you tell me how to figure that out? It's hard to give a definitive guide here. First find out which startup script starts ppp at boot time. I can't look it up for you because I have FreeBSD 5.3 here where the startup scripts are different from 4.10. Has the script been modified. Is it still trying to run /usr/sbin/ppp or is it trying to run something else? Look at the output of 'ls -l /usr/sbin'. Is the timestamp of ppp close to other files in that directory (that would be the time when you built/installed the world)? If it's not, then ppp has been replaced with something else. The timestamp of /usr/sbin/ppp might give you an idea when it happened. Try to remember what you were doing around this time. I don't want to cry wolf, but it might even be some kind of trojan.

In that case, check out something like: http://rucus.ru.ac.za/~bvi/utils/webpass/ Web Pass is a CGI script which allows users on a system to change their passwords via the web.

Webmin is a different thing. it allows for web-based administration, it isn't useful as a tool for users to change their passwords. In order to use webmin for that, I'd have to add a webmin user for every mail user and restrict the module set. It is just not worth it. I'm looking for something like some ISPs do: a form where you enter your username, your old password and your new one (twice, for confirmation). I think I can hack a quick CGI script which does that, then checks the parameters, and if everything is OK, hashes the new passwd and calls something like echo ecnryptedpass | sudo pw usermod user -H 1 or something like that.

Hi there, The site I downloaded the driver from mainly does drivers for Linux but they had a development version for BSD which I downloaded.

PXE multiboot FreeBSD and other OSes?
Hello! My goal is to be able to multiboot FreeBSD, Linux and some other OSes and different versions using PXE. I don't want to install boot loaders on hard disks because I want to boot several different machines to different OSes every now and then. I don't like the idea of using a boot floppy or boot CD either. I have Intel e100. Booting several versions of Linux works well using pxegrub. Booting FreeBSD works as well, when using pxeboot. However, I can only boot one version of FreeBSD and it has to be specified in dhcpd.conf (root path). I have no way of booting other OSes that way. I cannot boot pxegrub from preboot or vice versa. Pxegrub is able to load FreeBSD loader. However, it cannot find the drive where the system booted from (it is pxe) and thus does not work. Using lsdev command in the loader displays empty pxe devices: selection. Is there a way to enable this? Should something be done to pxegrub or loader? Is it possible to get loader to work after having been loaded by pxegrub? Pxegrub is also able to load FreeBSD kernel directly. Well, almost. It loads and starts it (the cursor becomes a block, the SCSI bus seems to be reset and everything, but the system reboots after 15 seconds without displaying anything on screen. I haven't yet checked the serial port, it might display something. Why is the video console not working this way? Is there a way to pass any parameters to FreeBSD kernel from pxegrub, like the root path? Pxegrub claims to conform to the Multiboot Specification, would it be sensible (and easy?) to make FreeBSD loader and/or kernel Multiboot compliant as well? Any other suggestions?

Re: Changing hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize in 4.10.

No error --- it just ignores the setting. in accordance with other variables in /boot/loader.help. OTOH, there was a note in /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h (as of March) that refers to using make config to change the DSP_BUFFERSIZE constant during, I assume, the kernel build operation. As I didn't start using FreeBSD on the desktop until 5.2 came out, I can't say that this is in anyway authoritative, and possibly isn't even helpful, though DSP_BUFFSIZE is not among the options that are setable in the kernel config file and any attempt to set it gives an error when config is run. I'm guessing that the only way to change this is by hacking the header files in the kernel source. Thanks, Sandy Yea, I got my old laptop out that has 4.10 on it and I was rooting around in the src and found that, I tried everywitch way to get it to work in the kernel file but It nerver did work (config always bitched at me), I tried it also like this make DSP_BUFFERSIZE=16384 depend make DSP_BUFFERSIZE=16384 make DSP_BUFFERSIZE=16384 install. this did not pruduce any errors but it didn't do anything ether, it skipped over the sound stuff as if there was no change, also I tried hard coding it it in sound_config.h but again same effect (maybe I did it wrong, i'm not a programmer), maybe you have to do a complete rebuild of the kernel and I did not try that because this laptop is only a P100 with 40MB Ram. also I found refrences to bufsz from /dev/sndstat so I tried adding it to the kernel config file like this device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 bufsz 16384 and config didn't like that (I never tried it with device pcm tho?) stumbleine# more /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) pcm0: ESS 0 DSP at io 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 bufsz 4096 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex) also reading the man pages for loader.conf , loader.4th, loader, and reading LINT help a bit., also there is a device.hints under /boot that loader reads so I tried adding it there as hint.pcm.0.buffersize=16384 but this did not work, it did tho add it as a loader environment variable (used show at the loader prompt). I also tried setting at the loader prompt hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=16384 and again no deal, also helpful was setting verbose_loading=YES into loader.conf. in all here is everything I tried with loader.conf: set hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=3D16384 sh sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=16384 sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=16384 set hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=8192 set hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=8192 set hw.snd.pcm.0.buffersize=8192 set hw.snd.pcm.0.buffersize=8192 hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=8192 hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize=8192 hint.pcm.0.buffersize=8192 Id like to get some input from a kernel hack or guru, and maybe you should cross post this in the freebsd-multimedia, freebsd-hackers, and/or freebsd-hardware mailling lists and I can not find anything relevant in my google / google groups searches about this problem, at this point I think it would just be easyer to upgrade to 5.3 (your comp will handle it, I have it running on a dual PII 366 system) to set the stupid thing. this might help (but its for linux): http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/3709/kernelhack.html and this looks interesting: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=5359 also the only stuff I can find about DSP_BUFFSIZE, buffer stuff is from Matthew Dillon (dillon at backplane.com), maybe you should give him a buzz ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since you are new at this: don't forget to CVSup your ports tree after you install.

need help with libchk
I've been tracking stable and current on a couple machines and doing portupgrades. I noticed that super karamba started acting screwy, so I somehow stumbled across libchk and I ran it and I believe it said something about super karamba having an unresolvable link, so I de/reinstalled superkaramba and it mostly works (still having trouble with liquid calendar and liquid weather). I noticed many other unresolvable links, many indicting firefox (which crashes on my machine). So I tried to use libchk /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox so it would check in that directory as well. This doesn't seem to work because the links are still reported. However, if I add that directory to rc.conf to the ldconfig_path (whatever), the libchk report no longer contains the firefox anomalies. Am I using libchk wrong when I try to add a directory to it on the command line? And when libchk runs, it reports the directories that it will search, and the directory I added to rc.conf doesn't get reported but does seem to get used (since the errors disappear from the report). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please help!
I am new to FreeBSD, and UNIX in general but form the beginning I'm
fascinated. I had configured a FreeBSD 5.3 machine to be the
Firewall/gateway of 8 windows PC's. The machine has 2 interfaces one
(fxp0) is connected to the ADSL modem and the another (rl0) is
connected to a switch where the windows boxes are connected too. The
first problem is that sometimes, when ppp redial to the pppoe Internet
provider, I can use Internet from the FreeBSD machine, but not from
the internal network. I had found a workaround to this problem:
server:~ $ cat /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
default:
! pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf /usr/local/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf
-
Refreshing the pf rules, the nat appears to work again, after a connection
drop.
The problem that I can't solve is the following:
In the FreeBSD manual states that one must use router_enable=NO in
rc.conf, to avoid routed to delete the routes added by ppp. If I do
this, I can't have access to the box from outside using ssh.
For reference I added the content of the floowing files:
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/start_if.tun0
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf
/etc/pf.conf

Shell hacker and freebsd booting experts, I need some serious investigation regarding cups.sh
Good day, I found out this very weired experience on freebsd(4.10, 5.3) booting process one time when I was using my home pc. I've installed cups and renamed the cups.sh.sample to cups.sh to be able to run it at boot time. I have successfully set up my printer and be able to print some test page. Now, what bothers me most is that, each time I try to cancel the loading of shell scripts residing in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, particularly the cups.sh which I'm sure is causing the trouble, the computer starts to halt or shutdown just right when I'm about to type my username at the login prompt. Do you know what causes this problem? I'm thinking perhaps there's a bug in the cups.sh script that makes the computer halt if the script is cancelled while being read. I've tried it at work with my (5.3) workstation but then the same problem occurs. Try it yourself and I bet you'll experience the same thing. I haven't put any script to run inside the rc.d other than that of the cups.sh which was put by the cups installation process and other applications I've installed(kdelibs.sh..etc.). This is weired. Happens both on FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.3, only after installing cups. Any idea? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Use /var for storing webpages.. Why???
Does storing webpages in /var give you a performance increase? No. Well, this is not necessarily true. When designing a server and optimising for performance, one thinks about which partitions will get certain types of usage. One that varies a lot you will want to have a fast disk or the fast part of a disk. When designing one that changes very little, you would want to utilise the slower drives/parts of drives. In this way, if you page is variant data (changes a lot) and you've designed your system such that frequently modified directories (/var and /tmp, for isntance) get the fastest partitions, certainly it would give a performance increase. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAIK the define is named DSP_BUFFSIZE (in src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.h. DSP_BUFFSIZE can be used to define the default buffersize for sound drivers, but most of the sound drivers use their own defines. If you want to change the default buffersize for a sound driver you need to search for a define like xxx_BUFFSIZE, where xxx is the name of the sound driver (maybe some developers use other naming-conventions). ie., if you want to change the default buffersize of the ESS driver you need to change the line #define ESS_BUFFSIZE (4096) in src/sys/dev/sound/isa/ess.c. If you use the sbc driver, you need to do this changes in sb8.c or sb16.c, depending on the soundcard you are using. sbc.c is only the code for the corresponding bridge driver. However, I'm not a guru, so I can't guess, if a driver works better with any other buffer size defined, than the original one. - -- Christian Hiris [EMAIL PROTECTED] | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBv9zz09WjGjvKU74RAtNOAJ4wAZwaRAC3cGywvLB9fGftObId0ACdGGGh nCoW63okjf5L5LRPyidM2JA= =R3es -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The other ports shouldn't need to be reinstalled, because the new version of php installs to the same location as the old version. Hence the ports that use it will just use the new version automatically. You may also want to clean up the duplicate gallery versions by using pkg_delete -f to remove both versions and then install just the latest version of gallery. To avoid this problem in the future, always use portupgrade to upgrade your ports. That way you won't get multiple versions installed!

Subject: Re: DHCP and 2 subnets
I assume you have two different interfaces on the box, one for each
box? Judging by the router addresses, these would be 10.1.0.1 and
10.2.0.1. If the hardware-reserved hosts are connected to the
appropriate interface, I would guess the second would be working.
Otherwise, can you put the host declarations in with the subnet
definitions? It's been a while since I've read through man dhcpd, so
you might want to take a look at it to be sure.
Take care,

While I can move my mouse around in the window, I cannot use any of the mouse buttons.

Would this be correct? And if so, how would I go about troubleshooting this? I have no way to remotely connect to the computer so any suggestions involving that probably won't help.

Re: Xorg and mouse....
On 12/14/04 10:56 AM, Bomgardner,Jon sat at the `puter and typed: Hello All! Well, I was finally able to get Xorg up and running at full screen however, I seem to have this peculiar problem. While I can move my mouse around in the window, I cannot use any of the mouse buttons. Now, I have not set up a Window Manager yet (will be setting up KDE as soon as I can get things straightened out) but I thought I'd at least get a right-click context menu in Xorg. Would this be correct? And if so, how would I go about troubleshooting this? I have no way to remotely connect to the computer so any suggestions involving that probably won't help. Anyway, after the success I've had with answers from the group so far, I expect it won't take long to lick this problem as well... I *think* the context menus are managed by the wm, so you might need to set up KDE *before* you can get them. Once you get KDE in, if you still don't get mouse clicks working, check your mouse config section in xorg.conf. The docs in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse should be pretty thorough.

Re: Safe to just rebuild kernel after cvsuping src?

I've been doing the opposite on some of my machines which run stable releases of FreeBSD. Is it relatively safe to build and install a slightly newer world without rebuilding the kernel? Were I to want to do this, I would (after updating the sources): 1) read /usr/src/UPDATING. If there is an entry that requires it (e,g, 20041102) or even implies it; then rebuild world. 2) following the directions in the Handbook rebuild the kernel only. Capture the output, and look for any complaints about missing symbols, etc. 3) Save the old kernel/kernel directory into a dated space. The install kernel target will save a copy ... but that gets overwritten if you have to build/again. 4) (optional) sacrifice black chicken to deity of choice (if any). 5) install new kernel and reboot. If sucessful, run mergemaster and reboot. 6) Test all first and second tier system functions and user applications. For this purpose, method of updating source code is a first-tier application.

Logged in as root, I enter the job in root's crontab with the following command crontab -e I enter the job in the following format: 05 10 * * * /root/cronjobs/cvs-sup.sh The script has the following permissions: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 255 Dec 13 10:39 cvs-sup.sh I can run the script as root with no errors. I look in the /var/log/cron log and I don't see any attempt by cron to run the job. There is no error either.There are entries for the edit of the crontab: Dec 14 10:03:36 bukowski crontab[632]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root) Dec 14 10:03:45 bukowski crontab[632]: (root) REPLACE (root) Dec 14 10:03:45 bukowski crontab[632]: (root) END EDIT (root) Dec 14 11:04:00 bukowski /usr/sbin/cron[405]: (root) RELOAD (tabs/root) But nothing else.

Re: disk I/O slower then linux?
Browse this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-October/thread.html#40671 Are you using the same mainboard? There's a lot of good advice given in that thread. A couple of things I would suggest is try to tweak your kernel if you're running a generic binary that may decrease your performance a bit. If you *are* using the same mainboard it may be an issue of an unreliable storage controller. See if your BIOS is up to date and also paste a dmesg to the list and put in any more hardware specifications you can for good measure.
