Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver
Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers). I am trying to install BIND (or djbdns) as a simple caching nameserver. Just to take some of the load off the networks DNS servers (my ISPs). However I am having trouble finding a good tutorial to follow. I've looked at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dns.html but its mainly going on about being a nameserver which is not what I am after, wanting to keep it more simple than that. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc] $ named -v BIND 9.3.1 Can anyone suggest me a good tutorial to follow, I've googled but mostly they are for debain/redhat and some of the commands and files are different. Cheers Richard Richard, What you need is a caching DNS. See para 25.6.7. If you don't use forwarders this will bypass your ISPs DNS. There are other solutions too, try Google for them.

Re: Purchasing the correct hardware: dual-core intel? Big cache?
Bill start with looking the DB design - I;ve had batch runs go from 5 days down to 1/2 day purely by tuning the SQL. I'm not kidding, all the DB tuning quides say look at the SQL/design first, then look at hardware like disk/data layout, then finally the CPU. There's lots of info about tuning on Postgress, use this, you'll get more out of the app this way than spending money chucking hardware at it. -- martin On 4/25/06, Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 25 Apr 2006 13:28:50 +0100 Martin Hepworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bill if the database is CPU dependant I'd look at tuning the queries/indexes and that stuff...it really shouldn't be CPU bound.

With high-end SCSI disks in RAID-10 and a battery- backed cache, burst writes are cached, thus lightening fast, and we've been unable to run the application hard enough to saturate the SCSI bus so far.

I've got 3 different clusters available for testing, but I'm not sure how to tell if the cache is getting used heavily or not. I've already determined that the database server is CPU-bound under our test load. With high-speed SCSI disks and battery-backed RAID, there's not enough IO to stress the disk subsystem. RAM is almost a non-issue. With the machine stressed at full load, it's only using 1/8 of the available RAM. So, my current bottleneck is CPU power. And the boss has asked me for the best way to overcome this bottleneck. We're looking at either the same CPUs we already have, but with _huge_ caches (8m) - or going with more CPUs by getting true dual-core pentiums. The question this all pivots on is will 8M of cache be a significant improvement? If not, then we're going with the dual-core CPUs. What I'd like is some way to take an existing system and determine how often the cache is getting invalidated, so I can make some guesstemate as to whether more cache will help or not. -- martin On 4/24/06, Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been asked to make some hardware recommendations, I'm hoping some folks on the list can make some suggestions.

Looks ok, but you should be able to check that the rules are actually loaded.

Otherwise the packet may go up the tree and be blocked by other rules. As I do not have a webserver installed and configured at the time nor a mailer daemon configured, I have not tested the www, pop3, or smtp rules yet, but I do use SSH frequently and have found that with the above ruleset enabled, I cannot get connected. The weird part is that when I open the SSH client, I get a prompt for my username, but after sending the username, my connection times out before receiving the second prompt for my password (this does not happen when I have IP Filter disabled). I believe that the line block in on vr0 from any to any head 200 is the culprit responsible for my troubles, but can't figure out why it would be a problem since I have specifically stated a pass statement for the SSH. You can also use snort to sniff on the interface while logging in, so you can see which packets are sent/received. I also realize that IP Filter is probably becoming a deprecated technology new solutions are coming into play (I'm mainly using IP Filter as a means to get my feet wet as I follow along with Lucas). However, it anyone has any suggestions as to what packet filtering technology to deploy and configure, I'm more than willing to take a look! Take a look at packet filter, for simple rule sets it is easy to migrate, you just can't use groups but have to order your rules carefully, and be sure to specify interface in all rules.

That has ATAPI interface and I booted the installer from it... I also tried to install the system using a passive ftp connection. It start downloading the base distribution, and I get messages like: pid 125 (cpio), uid 0 inumber 514 on /: out of inodes Unfortunately, I cannot run any commands on the emergency terminal because there are no commands to execute at all. Can you help me please? Laci ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.0
Did you do a custom newfs? No. What's you partition layout? First slice is a Windows NTFS, 45GB Then I have a 35GB slice for FreeBSD (type 165). Inside that slice, I used automatic partitioning. What did you install (only the bare base? or also additional distributions/packages) I selected the 'All binaries and doc but no games, kernel sources only' option. But the problem occurs while it displays: extracting base into / so probably it has nothing to do with the selected distros/packages.

Re: Cloning boot drive - more details
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My system partitions (/, swap, /usr, /var, /home) are currently spread onto a 10GB and a 20GB IDE drive, but I'd like to save space by consolidating these along with some (not heavily accessed) data partitions into a larger 250GB disk. The other drives (at this point a couple of SATA in RAID0) should be unaffected. I'm a relative newbie and although I've read the handbook and the past months' threads regarding cloning, I still have a few questions. 1) Am I correct in understanding that I can simply connect the new drive to a spare IDE controller and boot from the old disk, using sysinstall to make the new partitions and give them temporary mount points (choosing yes to install bootmanager), then dump | restore to move each FS, and simply take out the old drives and switch over to the new one? Will this boot and run seamlessly? At what point should I edit the old /etc/fstab that was copied over? If I *can* do this, then what are the benefits of doing a fresh install on the new drive first? 2) If I dump | restore from a *running* system, will the resulting clone be confused when it's booted up? Are any crucial changes or balancing acts made upon shutdown that the new drive will miss? Or, is its main purpose fulfilled when it's loaded into memory on boot? 3) The handbook also recommends using boot0config, but how necessary is this if I just plan on simply replacing the original drive? 4) How are the prospects of data recovery affected by FreeBSD's use of slices for filesystems on top of partitions? Experience tells me that with traditional partitions, a corrupted file tree or data in one area needn't prevent retreival of the other areas. Is this so with slices as well? I suspect that a slice *is* what you mean by a traditional partition. Either way, yes, problems on one shouldn't affect another.

Dell vs. Silicon Mechanics vs. FreeBSD Systems
Anyone have any opinions about the quality and/or value of these respective vendors? I'm looking for something that has good AMD64 support, great RAID1 support and good Serial Console Redirection support, all obviously reasonably priced. I've had bad experiences in the past with onboard SATA and/or RAID controllers from Silicon Mechanics but it looks now like their Rackform nServ A206 uses an Adaptec SATA controller and an Adaptec RAID controller (this will do RAID1, right?) Anyone have any experience with FreeBSD Systems IPMI interface? I don't claim to know much about IPMI, so forgive me if I ask seemingly dumb questions: Is IPMI implemented entirely in userland or are is there hardware required that FreeBSD Systems just happens to include with their systems? Is IPMI really any good at the end of the day, or are there other solutions that are better/more relaibe (tm)? How does Dell fit into all of this? I haven't dealt with Dell in years but when I have in the past, there didn't seem to be any major issues. I'm looking at a Power Edge 1850 with the Embedded RAID (ROMB) - PERC4e/Si Controller. Does Dell support Serial Console Redirection without their extra lights out card? Lastly (I think) with regards to AMD64 Support (more for the Silicon Mechanics and FreeBSD Systems options), I had issues a couple of years ago with AMD64 and OpenLDAP. Something to do with Mutexes, and wound up having to backpedal and go with a 32bit install on my 64bit system. PITA. Are there any decently priced/stable options out there, other than the three I've mentioned? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FBSD 5.x and Skype sound
Hi all, I know that there is a lot o threads about this, but none of the workarrounds had worked with me. I trying to use skype (1.2.0.18 from ports), on a FBSD 5.4 (last cvs), but the sound is failing. My on-board sound chipset is CMI8738, I'm using the snd_cmi_load=YES in the /boot/loder.conf. I've tried set sysctl vars hw.snd.pcm0.vchans and hw.snd.maxautovchans, but nothing worked. The problem is associated only with skype.

My actual question is reguarding the ssh queue. It is the parent for
ssh_fast and ssh_bulk, so I'm thinking that it should show the total
bandwidth usage for those two queues, but it shows 0 Kb/s. Like I said

that it is.

Re: Dell vs. Silicon Mechanics vs. FreeBSD Systems
I can't answer this too well unfortunately, but I can give you a bit of info. Dell does not carry AMD, and probably will not for a long time. However they do have AMD64 compatable Intel chips, which are better at bandwidth, though not as good for calculations. Dell treats their business customers nicely, but can be rather unpleasant to individuals not within a sizeable group. I had good experiences with Penguin Computing at a previous job, and their supports was good, but unfortunately, they are a mostly-linux group. They do have good support and AMD systems though. IBM is also a very nice choice, and I am pretty sure they have AMD servers, as well as the AMD64 compatable Intel counterparts. Although slightly more expensive than Dell, I definetly prefer IBM. I've no experience with Silicon Mechanics. I've had bad experiences in the past with onboard SATA and/or RAID controllers from Silicon Mechanics but it looks now like their Rackform nServ A206 uses an Adaptec SATA controller and an Adaptec RAID controller (this will do RAID1, right?) Probably, Adaptec makes pretty good stuff, and tends to aim towards the features/performance market, rather than the low-budget market. Silicon mechanics gives the model number of the card, so you can go here to read the specs: http://www.adaptec.com/ then go to the faq, linked to at http://www.freebsd.org/ and find out the compatability level of the hardware. I think the OpenLDAP thing with AMD64 is fixed (I had some apps that required it, and they didn't complain), however Java is a pain to setup (I gave up and just installed the i386 FreeBSD).

It probably means that you've got to do some manual magic - generally, accept a license or perform some action that requires visiting a site and registering, etc. YMMV. If setting BATCH=yes in your environment doesn't work with portupgrade, then make deinstall followed by make reinstall, or perhaps make reinstall with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER set; I dunno for sure what that might do to your package db though, so at your own risk (wouldn't damage it beyond all repair, but it might make it a lil' funny).

Re: Dell vs. Silicon Mechanics vs. FreeBSD Systems
Questions wrote: Anyone have any opinions about the quality and/or value of these respective vendors? [snip] How does Dell fit into all of this? I haven't dealt with Dell in years but when I have in the past, there didn't seem to be any major issues. I'm looking at a Power Edge 1850 with the Embedded RAID (ROMB) - PERC4e/Si Controller. Folks' mileage with Dell really seems to vary, so I'd guess you're going to get a broad range of responses on that question. Our experience here is pretty consistent, over a long period of time: Dell's low end consumer systems (e.g. Dimension models) tend to be flaky, to the point where we simply won't buy them anymore, while their high end business systems (e.g. Optiplex, PowerEdge) tend to be pretty reliable, to the point where we'd need a pretty compelling reason to change vendors. There have been exceptions (like a large percentage of GX270 mobo's dying early due to bulging capacitors), but they've been pretty good about providing replacement parts, once we jump through all the hoops that their first tier phone support throws up.

It's my understanding that packages are built when possible. They often lag that which is in ports. There are only so many cycles in a day (per cpu and per person). I would assume that there is some logical order in which the packages are built (most used first? Though not sure how that would be determined) I continuously rebuild packages using a method that only builds changed packages (new, updated to new version or with a dependency that was changed). This typically gives a turnaround time on i386 of less than a day to several days for packages becoming available, but as I said in another reply I'm not uploading them now because of the looming release cycle. With no intention to criticize your way of thinking or your work, release cycles sometimes could take a bit more time than scheduled. You, the developers and maintainers, know that better than us, the users. In the mean time there is a whole community of (end?) users that could benefit from the prompt availability of latest ports in packages. I'm referring mostly to desktop or workstation users, since the most of us build our ports from the sources for our servers. Although, I'm eager to use the portupgrade -P option more often for our (less critical) ports. Is there a chance that you, along with the release engineering team, reconsider your policy? It's basically forced upon us by the finite bandwidth of mirror sites. At release time they have many gigabytes of ISO images and other install media, etc to download, without adding many gigabytes of packages. If we don't back off from uploading packages in the lead up to the release, then what happens is that many mirror sites are out of date and do not carry the release media at the time of release. Well, speaking as the maintainer of the ftp.gr.freebsd.org mirror site I would say that in this case the monolithic form of the FreeBSD FTP repository is a drawback. Mirroring around 350GB/1.600.000 files, or even a subset, is a difficult (see insufficient) task.

Hi, When I try to install postfix from ports (postfix or postfix-current) with LDAP lookups I get: [tw] /usr/ports/mail/postfix-current# make WITH_OPENLDAP_VER=2.3.21 === postfix-2.3.20060418,2 is marked as broken: unknown OpenLDAP version: 2.3.21. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/postfix-current. I've got: openldap-sasl-client-2.3.21 openldap-server-2.3.21 How can I make postfix build with this version of OpenLDAP? It wants 2.2...

PHP5 Compile Problems
I'm currently trying to run: make CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-pcre-regex \ CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-fastcgi \ CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-force-cgi-redirect However, every time I run the command, I get an error about a problem with apache13. But I do not want to install apache, because I plan to use lighttpd instead. After talking with a couple people in the ##freebsd channel on freenode.net, I edited my /usr/ports/lang/php5/Makefile so that it read WITH_APACHE = NO and then ran make distclean in both the /usr/ports/lang/php5 and /usr/ports/www/apache13 directories. Then I reran the above command, but make still tried to obtain the apache13 code and ended with an error. What might I be doing wrong?

Re: Updated 6.1 schedule?

However, the dates on the schedule page seem to be a little off now. I was wondering if anyone had some idea of what the new dates might be... if there's no idea; then I will patiently wait. You guess is as good as mine. It could take a couple of months. I've got a few 4.10 machines that could do with an upgrade, and I don't think moving to 5.4 is the way to go... So, I'm pending waiting on 6.1. There's no need to wait with that. I run 6.0 and 6.1 since BETA4 and I have not seen any problems. You can use CVS to updated your sources and compile your own version.

sendmail_enable in rc.conf
I have FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.
It seems there is collision between /etc/defaults/rc.conf and
/etc/rc.sendmail in sendmail startup control.
In /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
sendmail_enable=NO# Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO).
In /etc/rc.sendmail:
...
start_mta()
{
case ${sendmail_enable} in
[Nn][Oo][Nn][Ee])
;;
So sendmail doesn't startup during system startup only if there is
sendmail_enable=NONE in /etc/rc.conf.
Maybe I don't understand something?

gnash, FreeBSD and OpenGL -- usable?
I've just installed the latest port (0.7_1) of gnash. Trying to run it, I get this: $ gnash (gnash:69101): GdkGLExt-WARNING **: Window system doesn't support OpenGL. $ Is there a fix for this? (And if there is, are there more issues to face after this one is dealt with?) I know it is still early days for gnash.

Simple firewall question: Blocking a handful of IPs
I'm not extremely comfortable with doing firewall testing remotely on production systems, but I need to set up some incoming IP blocks. I've got a FreeBSD RELENG_5_4 system with public interface rl0. I want all traffic allowed unfettered, except traffic from particular IPs to be completely blocked coming in. Can someone show me which ipf rules to use to get that result?
