RE: RAID5 degraded - system hangs
The Promise Tx4310 has to be a HW raid controller - hopefully ;-)) But to get full access you have to have drivers to support this hardware. In the ata man pages the controller (chip is PDC40719) is mentioned to be supported. But not in the RAID5 mode - that´s my mistake. I just was realy irritated for after buliding up and even after rebooting without errors the device ar0 named itself RAID5 ... Maybe I used parts of new code which isn´t finished at all Thanxs Dietmar From: Nikos Vassiliadis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 3/6/2007 8:48 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: Michel, Dietmar Subject: Re: RAID5 degraded - system hangs On Monday 05 March 2007 17:22, Michel, Dietmar wrote: [snip] Now I made an upgrade using 4 SATA II disks connected to a promise TX4310 Raid controller.

RE: RAID5 degraded - system hangs
You are right again ... I just have a short discussion about the controller with promise support: It is a software Raid Controller and WebPAM (The Promise Raid software) is the interface for building/resync etc. This interface has some advanced feature but at least you can use a Linux SW-Raid ... (the xor calculation for RAID5 is done by the server anyway). Over all with the technical background I have to redesign my personal goals.

Re: ftp set up
Please wrap your lines around 72 characters. In response to Vizion [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wonder if someone could point me to a reliable detailed resource for configuring an ftp server on freebsd 6.1 for both incoming and outgoing files (including anonymous ftp). I do not want anonymous uploaders to view existing file names in ftp/incoming or be able to download from incoming. I want the server as secure as is reasonably practicable. The notes in the freebsd handbook are not really comprehensive enough for me. Please don't do this. Please don't even try. Never try to use the word secure in the same sentence as ftp. They don't fit in the same sentence. Set up ssh, then have Windows users use WinSCP. Let me tell a little story. A few years back I was asked to set up secure ftp for a client. I argued, but he insisted, and the customer is always right, so I set it up for him. The plan, to keep it secure, was to enable the FTP server when it was needed, and disable it when the transfer was complete. Well, one day he forgot to turn it off. A few weeks later he went to enable it for another transfer and noticed a bunch of files on the server he didn't recognize. Someone had guessed the password and was using his FTP server to transfer files of a most unsavory nature. After we destroyed the files, changed the passwords, etc -- he decided to keep using the FTP (in spite of the incident). The only problem, he argued, was that we'd forgot to turn it off. But the crook now had our address. The next time he enabled that server, it wasn't more than a few hours before the crook was using it to move around his files again. The guy must have set up some monitoring to alert him when the FTP site came up, then he either had a sniffer to get the password or he was able to brute-force it really fast. I tell that story when people tell me that the data their transferring isn't sensitive, and therefore using FTP isn't a security risk. It still is. The only time it's OK to use FTP is when it's download only and the files are publicly available. Any other time, FTP is a liability. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi there,
I am not sure how to switch off the screen on the dell (independent of
ACPI)... in all laptops I've seen, it's fully controlled by the hardware
(bios?).
Have you got acpi working ?
If you *do* have ACPI working, and you want to see whether it is firing acpi at
all when you close the lid, you can restart devd in debugging mode:
/etc/rc.d/devd stop
devd -dD
and then try your ACPI events.
Also, you should be able to tell your ACPI module to let you handle the events
manually. For example, with the acpi_ibm.ko, the knob
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events = 1
tells acpi to pass all acpi messages to devd for handling. Search the logs (in
mobile@ , i believe) - i've posted my config for some sample actions on
different ACPI events.
BTW, you may be able to switch off the display using a user mode application
that is related to your video card. For example, if you have a Radeon card, the
radeontool allows you to switch off the panel and external monitor outputs
(although the ext monitor gets switched on when you switch to X's VT)

using sysinstall upgrade as a repair solution
Hello all! I was running 5.1 release till pretty much last week when I believe the machine experienced an unplanned powercycle. since then i get an error about libedit.so.4 being missing, and being required by sh, please input path to sh or hit enter. ok, so i know about /rescue/sh, and the fixit option on sysinstall, but i don't know if libraries are anywhere to be found on the live cd fixit toolkit (i doubt it, i looked in all the places that made sense to me). So i figure I might as well reinstall the OS, as that is why i made separate partitions for user data and system files (so i think, this is my first unix based system built by me) to apparently facilitate os reinstallation. So here is my understanding of how a reinsall is supposed to go, with the aim of preserving my user stuff. I set the system up with a 150 meg partition (more than reccomended in the handbook at the time, and still to my knowledge) on which I put a, a b swap part, 256 meg d /tmp, 256 meg e /var, and 200odd gig f /usr. the system was oringinally intended to be an anonymous ftp repository for me and my friends, but due to school req's i had to change it to the sftp backengine(?) of sshd, and it was in /usr/share/public that i put pretty much everything. when my friends added tons of crap I eventually added another 160 gig drive, put a swap part on that too for kicks, and moved the /home dir to it too. as of last week i only have 10 gigs remaining on that drive, and oddly enough i am at 106% capcity for the 250 gig drive according to df, go figure. So now I figure id open up sysinstall off a cd and use the upgrade feature first, for either 5.1 or 6.2. I set / to mount to a, /tmp to d, /var to e. and i leave f alone, since i dont want that modified at all. well, eventually the tool tells me that the filesystem is full and quits. Then I try doing a custom install and choose only the required base files, or a minimal install, and the same thing happens. Then I figured that in the worst case i could choose to mount /usr on the 2nd harddrive on the partition where there are 10 gigs free in the fdisk-like utility step that the upgrade feature brings one too, and then i get kernel panics. So i figure im not doing something right, or im not understanding something, but it was my intent to separate the / from /usr(or wherever id put stuff) in order to make the upgrading(or repairing) of the os easier. If this topic has already been discussed on the list then please tell me so I can go look in this lists archives wherever they may be stored. I am also not adverse to reading and note that I've looked through the handbooks for 5.1 and 6.2 as well as their install.txts. 5.5 disks are burning now, and im going to give those a try and see what happens.

This is the safest way to rm or rm -i each file ($i); the
ls -ls | [awkstuff] spits out the entire list in one chunk.
But since packages from 2006 were OLD, I just /bin/rm'd them

Anyone could give me some good hint on hoe to configure hte FreeBSD box in this way ? I tryed to search for infoes but could only get partial informations. for example I would like to installa MIT krb5 implementation from ports instead of using heidmal default this because the kerberos server on my network is a MIT server and I can't use kadmin on FreeBSD to administrer the kerberos server remotely using heidmal implementation.

It's traditional in BSD unix to have separate partitions; the logic is lost to me (being shrouded in the mists of time), but it's proved sane here a few times. For example, when one partition gets full, there's still some room to move stuff and salvage things without a reinstall ;-) So here is my understanding of how a reinsall is supposed to go, with the aim of preserving my user stuff. I set the system up with a 150 meg partition (more than reccomended in the handbook at the time, and still to my knowledge) on which I put a, a b swap part, 256 meg d /tmp, 256 meg e /var, and 200odd gig f /usr. the system was oringinally intended to be an anonymous ftp repository for me and my friends, but due to school req's i had to change it to the sftp backengine(?) of sshd, and it was in /usr/share/public that i put pretty much everything. when my friends added tons of crap I eventually added another 160 gig drive, put a swap part on that too for kicks, and moved the /home dir to it too. as of last week i only have 10 gigs remaining on that drive, and oddly enough i am at 106% capcity for the 250 gig drive according to df, go figure. Not hard to figure. The disk is full, including the space reserved for accidental overflow. Take some stuff off --- log files, disk hogging sound or video files, etc. Incidentally, 150MB doesn't seem very large for a root partition IMHO. I've not read the handbook recently, but I generally use a gig for /. Had a situation similar to what you describe recently with a system that had been running Desktop BSD. The default setup there is apparently 128M or so for / with a separate /tmp of approximately equal size. Figuring that /rescue would save me in the event of problems, I moved /stand to another partition (one that had *space* though, mind you) and linked it to /. Then my upgrade succeeded, although I was using the standard cvsup/make buildworld cycle. So now I figure id open up sysinstall off a cd and use the upgrade feature first, for either 5.1 or 6.2. I set / to mount to a, /tmp to d, /var to e. and i leave f alone, since i dont want that modified at all. well, eventually the tool tells me that the filesystem is full and quits. Then I try doing a custom install and choose only the required base files, or a minimal install, and the same thing happens. Then I figured that in the worst case i could choose to mount /usr on the 2nd harddrive on the partition where there are 10 gigs free in the fdisk-like utility step that the upgrade feature brings one too, and then i get kernel panics. Any indication as to why? I'd assume that it wasn't finding things as it expected, filesystem wise. Of course, a lot has changed since 5.1, so it could be anything. Most recent panic I've seen that bears any resemblance was on a 5.3 system with a devfs statement in /etc/rc.conf that was no longer valid, so when it was upgraded to 6.2 (quite a bit more recent), devfs panicked on boot. Removing the config statement from said file fixed that. YMMV, of course. So i figure im not doing something right, or im not understanding something, but it was my intent to separate the / from /usr(or wherever id put stuff) in order to make the upgrading(or repairing) of the os easier. If this topic has already been discussed on the list then please tell me so I can go look in this lists archives wherever they may be stored. I am also not adverse to reading and note that I've looked through the handbooks for 5.1 and 6.2 as well as their install.txts. 5.5 disks are burning now, and im going to give those a try and see what happens. Thanks! Josh You need space on the disk. Read up on find and du and see what's taking the space. Then use rm and get rid of it. After that you should be able to do an upgrade. Although if you do like to read docs, I'd recommend the standard procedure instead of the sysinstall binary upgrade; however, that could be just a user pref, I guess.

Go in to whichever directory that shows up in the list as surprisingly large and do another du, etc, etc until you isolate where the junk is. rm the stuff and find out how it is getting there and close that hole off. You can use other flags such as -h or -m on the du command. I like the -k because it makes a consistent display down the list that makes it easy to visually scan and see differences in those cases where I don't care so much about the actual size as about seeing those that stick out.

The handbook has a chapter on setting up Kerberos, albeit focused on Heimdal. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kerberos5.html In section 14.8.6 it notes that the kadmin protocol differs between Kerberos implementations -- you have to use the MIT kadmin to administer a remote MIT KDC. Other than the kadmin bits (which are fairly different between the two but isn't used by end-users anyway), it's pretty much transparent to a Kerberos-enabled workstation which implementation it's using. I typically install both (to different paths to avoid file conflicts) because I like using the newest Heimdal rather than the one in base and also because the included client applications differ. For example, MIT has Kerberos rsh whereas the base Heimdal doesn't for some of the platforms that I use.

I had another machine with this same MB that ran for a long time fine until I upgraded it to 6.0 or 6.1 last Fall and then I started to have the same problem (a post about it is in the archives). I assumed it was a HW issue and turned off the port in the BIOS and used the other port until I took the machine offline as the customer using it no longer needed it. Now this machine is having the same symptoms and I remember reading in the lists something about PHY and bge and some driver problems a while back but cannot fnd it now in the archives. Could this be a SW problem or is it a HW issue? Could it be related to the port it is connected to or the cable or something? The other machine that had this problem was on a different switch brand.

Re: using sysinstall upgrade as a repair solution
The fourth reason to have separate partitions is to make it easier to isolate things. You may want to make a certain amount of space available for users to write in, but want to keep them out of other space. There are various ways to do it. Having things grouped conveniently in some defined area makes it a little easier. What Jerry said ;-). Thanks for expressing what I couldn't OTTOMH. Incidentally, 150MB doesn't seem very large for a root partition IMHO. I've not read the handbook recently, but I generally use a gig for /. If you divide out /var and /usr and /tmp and /home, then 150 MB is plenty for root. I am currently using about 120 MB on this machine which is due a good cleanup. I only partition /, /var/, and /usr/, so /tmp stays in the root slice; I make mention of this fact (150M being small) because of the previously-mentioned case in which installworld puked because / was full (this *was* with a separate /tmp) and there was nothing really there except default stuff (had been a DesktopBSD system, maybe someone with more experience there could comment). The box was going from 5.3 under an (older) DesktopBSD test install to FBSD 6.2; I worked 'round the issue by moving /stand, but ended up re-installing 6.2 from CD to give a slightly more junior guy more experience with sysinstall (AAMOF I've made him do it on two boxen today, heh heh heh) Hmmm. /tmp is definitely one thing I would take out of / and put in its own partition - or at least in some other big scratch space. It can easily get filled with stuff which then goes away. But if it overfills /, it can bring the system to its knees. If it overfills its own system, it can make things slow to a standstill, but usually you can still get in with root and nuke enough to continue and at least shut things down gracefully. jerry Kevin Kinsey -- Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. -- John Lennon, Beautiful Boy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found a solution, although I'm not sure why it works.
When you just hit enter getty goes back to the beginning of its loop.
This also happens if you enter a name starting with - or consisting of
just spaces. These also causes the output to become garbled.
At the beginning of the loop it calls setttymode(0). If I insert a
sleep(1) before this call, everything works correctly. If I insert the
sleep after that, the output still gets garbled.
Like I said, I don't know why it works, but it does.
I don't think a short delay is unreasonable after entering invalid or no
information. I am going to submit a PR with a patch.

isc-dhcpd logging breaks when syslog-ng HUP'd
Hello, I have 2 servers running isc-dhcp3-server and syslog-ng. I have configured dhcpd to run in a chroot. The following (reproducible) sequence of events cause dhcpd logging to break: 1) Start syslog-ng 2) Start isc-dhcpd (At this point, logging is working fine) 3) `pkill -HUP syslog-ng` (This happens on the hour whenever logfiles need rotating, but can also be effected manually) 4) dhcpd logging is now broken 5) Restart isc-dhcpd (logging works again) My theory is that when isc-dhcpd starts, it gets an fd to the syslog socket. When syslog-ng receives a HUP, that socket is reopened and isc-dhcpd's fd is now broken. Relevant options from rc.conf: | syslogd_enable=NO | newsyslog_enable=NO | syslog_ng_enable=YES | dhcpd_enable=YES | dhcpd_flags=-q | dhcpd_conf=/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf | dhcpd_includedir=/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.d | dhcpd_withumask=022 | dhcpd_chuser_enable=YES | dhcpd_withuser=dhcpd | dhcpd_withgroup=dhcpd | dhcpd_devfs_enable=YES | dhcpd_rootdir=/var/jails/dhcpd | dhcpd_chroot_enable=YES | dhcpd_ifaces=bge0 My workaround: For the hosts in question, I've added to the logrotate postrotate script: `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd restart /dev/null` This workaround makes me a little uncomfortable, because these instances of dhcpd are critical for thousands of end users. Is this a bug? Is there a better workaround? Logging from all other applications on the system is unaffected by the HUP to syslog-ng, including two jailed instances of bind9 (syslog-ng on the host opens up the socket /var/run/log inside those jails). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Chris Cowart Lead Systems Administrator Network Infrastructure, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley signature.asc Description: Digital signature

tells acpi to pass all acpi messages to devd for handling. Search the logs

Re: ftp set up
--- Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Please wrap your lines around 72 characters. In response to Vizion [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wonder if someone could point me to a reliable detailed resource for configuring an ftp server on freebsd 6.1 for both incoming and outgoing files (including anonymous ftp). I do not want anonymous uploaders to view existing file names in ftp/incoming or be able to download from incoming. I want the server as secure as is reasonably practicable. The notes in the freebsd handbook are not really comprehensive enough for me. Please don't do this. Please don't even try. Never try to use the word secure in the same sentence as ftp. They don't fit in the same sentence. Set up ssh, then have Windows users use WinSCP. Let me tell a little story. A few years back I was asked to set up secure ftp for a client. I argued, but he insisted, and the customer is always right, so I set it up for him. The plan, to keep it secure, was to enable the FTP server when it was needed, and disable it when the transfer was complete. Well, one day he forgot to turn it off. A few weeks later he went to enable it for another transfer and noticed a bunch of files on the server he didn't recognize. Someone had guessed the password and was using his FTP server to transfer files of a most unsavory nature. After we destroyed the files, changed the passwords, etc -- he decided to keep using the FTP (in spite of the incident). The only problem, he argued, was that we'd forgot to turn it off. But the crook now had our address. The next time he enabled that server, it wasn't more than a few hours before the crook was using it to move around his files again. The guy must have set up some monitoring to alert him when the FTP site came up, then he either had a sniffer to get the password or he was able to brute-force it really fast. I tell that story when people tell me that the data their transferring isn't sensitive, and therefore using FTP isn't a security risk. It still is. The only time it's OK to use FTP is when it's download only and the files are publicly available.

/etc/rc.d/devd stop
devd -dD
and then try your ACPI events.
Also, you should be able to tell your ACPI module to let you handle
the
events
manually. For example, with the acpi_ibm.ko, the knob
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events = 1
tells acpi to pass all acpi messages to devd for handling. Search the
logs
(in
mobile@ , i believe) - i've posted my config for some sample actions
on
different ACPI events.
BTW, you may be able to switch off the display using a user mode
application
that is related to your video card. For example, if you have a Radeon
card, the
radeontool allows you to switch off the panel and external monitor
outputs
(although the ext monitor gets switched on when you switch to X's VT)

Re: Laptop lid switch and ACPI
OK, so I'm half the way to what I want =/
All these things with acpi work well, but as I got a NVidia card _and_
FreeBSD in amd64, I can't install the NVidia drivers... So I can turn my
screen blank with dpms, but the backlight stays on =( and this dpms stuff
doesn't work in command-line...
Do you know if there's some way to control the video card/turn the backlight
off without NVidia's drivers? And if I can get this to work in command-line?
I remember that with Gentoo all that stuff worked, even in command-line. But
of course, I had NVidia drivers...

I have a new install of FreeBSD 6.2, and installed Gnome 2.16 and other
things, including Firefox 2.0, from Ports.
Firefox only runs as root. Every time. I Googled and saw that in an early
version there was a problem that it had to be run the _first_ time as root
but after that it was OK, but thats not the problem here--it ONLY runs as
root all the time. If I type firefox on the command line it
just immediately returns to the command line, no error messages
of any sort, nothing in /var/log/messages.
I had the same issue when I first made firefox,
probability is the your $HOME/.mozilla directory is owned by root with only
or no read permissions to other users.
firefox read. creates all of its data in that directory by default, so you
may want to login as root
and do
find / -name .mozilla -type d -exec ls -ld {} \;
That will show all the directories that are .mozilla once you figured
which your $HOME's .mozilla
you can issue chown user:group .mozilla directory and then your firefox may
start normally
Best regards
DAK
When run as root it seems to be fine. The binary has execute
permissions for everyone.
What do i need to be doing?
Thanks!

DHCP Server V3.0.5 No BPF under chroot. Works normally otherwise.
I found some cook-book instructions for running dhcpd in
a chroot environment. The article is 4 years old and appears to
be set up for FreeBSD5x, but it isn't far off for FreeBSD6.2
which is what I need dhcpd to run on.
Dhcpd runs fine when started normally as in
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpd. I haven't yet gotten it to launch as the
chroot'ed version. When one starts it, here is what happens:
chroot /usr/local/chroot/dhcpd /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd

WARNING: Host declarations are global. They are not limited to the scope you

No bpf devices. Please read the README section for your operating system.
If I do a ls, everything looks identical:
cd /usr/local/chroot/dhcpd/dev

crw--- 1 root wheel1, 97 Mar 6 11:44 bpf1
cd /dev
ls -l bpf*
crw--- 1 root wheel0, 96 Mar 5 21:00 bpf0
crw--- 1 root wheel0, 97 Mar 5 21:00 bpf1
The part of the script that makes those devices is as follows:
BPF=`ls -l /dev/bpf0 | awk '{ print $6; }' | sed -e 's/,//g'`
export BPF
BPF1=`ls -l /dev/bpf1 | awk '{ print $6; }' | sed -e 's/,//g'`
export BPF1
cd /usr/local/chroot/dhcpd/dev
mknod bpf0 c 0 $BPF
mknod bpf1 c 1 $BPF1
chmod 0600 bpf*
I will post the script when it works since it appears to
be about 90% good. It needs a little touch-up to make it work
for FreeBSD6.
My guess is that there is something else I need in the
chroot environment since the bpf appears to work normally when
dhcpd is run from root in the traditional way.

Regards, Mike Hi Mike Right now it seems to be behaving. netstat -i shows no issues and I have not had the problem recur again once I forced it from auto negotiation which ended up at 1000tx full duplex to now be 100tx at full duplex. I don't know if it is related to the problem or not or is a coincidence that once I did that the problem has not arisen. It happened about 3 times today before forcing the connection to be 100tx. If it starts to happen again I will try and log in to the console and do the netstat -i then... In the morning I will break out my powerbook and get the switch port assignments off a chart I have there so I can log in to the switch and check the port for errors. I have not swapped ports/cables on the switch this time around but have had the exact same symptoms on a server with the same HW that was using different cables and a different switch... I may swap cables but the machine is downtown and I am not so unless I cannot make progress I want to avoid going downtown :-) I may swap the mainboard if it happens again to see if it is HW. I have one or two spare mainboards of the same sort. Thanks!

The rc.conf method will make it available from the parent. That is the whole point of rc.conf. Right. I figured that much. So, what do I actually put in that file? I tried these two options: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ It didn't like either, presumably because it's not calling a bash or c-shell. So, what should I put in /etc/rc.conf that will achieve my objective? TIA, Drew LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ not work for you? Why not source environment variables from an outside script / rc-file? It's better / smarter in the long run, IMHO. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

reprocess mails in sendmail
Hi all, Do you need to include specific commands to periodically process the queue with sendmail? With sendmail I would explicitly (via cron) rerun queue processing every 30 minutes or so. Is there any better method to do this in sendmail itself. The reason for this question is that some of the mails which needs to be delivered to another mail server was not reachable and this mail was not processed for 4 days. but when i manually flush the queue i am able to send the mail to the RCPT mail server. Any fields i need to change in Sendmail for solving this problem.
