some problems with 4.6.2
Hi ALL, Computer (486, 16MB RAM, 10G hard disk) with FreeBSD 4.1 is used as gateway. It's connected with ADSL modem and for PPPoE was used the next ppp.conf: --- # # ppp.conf: PPPoE configuration # default: # PPP over Ethernet set device PPPoE:wb0 set speed sync set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set ctsrts off # monitor line quality disable lqr deny lqr # log just a bit set log phase tun # insert default route upon connection add default HISADDR # download /etc/resolv.conf enable dns #enable tcpmssfixup papchap: set authname USERNAME set authkey PASSWORD --- tcpmssfixup did not work because of old version of FreeBSD. The author of the method (PPPoE) recommended me to upgrade the system (ppp specifically). The system was updated till 4.6.2-RELEASE using CVSup (src,ports,doc). Then: make buildworld make installworld make buildkernel make installkernel I did it without any problem. I've made buildkernel and installkernel for the GENERIC and then for my own KERNEL. But after that the ppp.conf as shown above doesn't work properly. I can't connect with provider.

Re: Resolving IP through DHCP on LAN (II)
Hello,
Thanks for the replies!
However, this is how my dhclient.conf looks like:
interface xl0 {
send host-name delta;
send dhcp-lease-time 600;
}
but it does not seem to communicate with the dhcp-service from the router as the
active DHCP-table
still shows the same (see below).
Any further ideas?
Regards!

Subject: Resolving IP through DHCP on LAN
Hello,
I have a LAN which looks like this:
Internet --- Cablemodem--- Router with DHCP-service --- 2 Winboxes, 1
Freebsd box
I have 4.6.2. release installed on the FreeBSD box.
The router has an DHCP service and IP's are dynamicly assigned to the 3
machines within my LAN.
However, when I view the DHCP Active IP Table, I see the following:
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Hostname IP Address MAC Address
tulin 192.168.1.101 00-80-AD-C9-25-DC
alfa 192.168.1.102 00-81-AC-C8-25-DA
192.168.1.104 00-C0-4F-AA-24-0C
The machines called tulin and alfa are the Win98 boxes, the last line
corresponds to my FreeBSD
box. It is called delta. My question: why does the name of my FreeBSD
box not show up in the
DHCP Active IP Table?
If I use its IP address, I can access this box without no problem (FTP,
Samba, etc.) However, I
would like to access it by using its name (delta). How to achieve this?
looks like your dhclient is not configured to send a hostname to the dhcp
server.
here is a relevant excerpt from man dhclient.conf:
send { [ option declaration ] [, ... option declaration
]}
and here is an excerpt from man dhcp-options:
option host-name string;
This option specifies the name of the client. The name
may or may not be qualified with the local domain name
(it is preferable to use the domain-name option to
specify the domain name). See RFC 1035 for character
set restrictions. This option is only honored by
dhclient-script(8) if the hostname for the client
machine is not set (i.e., set to the empty string in
rc.conf(5) ).
so, as you can see, it appears that the hostname for the freebsd machine
(delta) is being set only _after_ your box acquires its dhcp lease, and
thereby does not send the hostname to the dhcp server. if you put the above
send line into your /etc/dhclient.conf file, like this:
send host-name delta;
your box will send the hostname to the dhcp server and all should work as
expected. to be more correct, you may even put in something like this:
interface if0 {
send host-name delta;
}
where if0 is the name of your dhcp-configured ethernet interface (e.g.
xl0, rl0, etc).
hope this helps,

Re: Virtual memory allocations and signal 11 core dumps
On Mon, Sep 23, 2002 at 11:14:59AM +1000, Duncan Anker wrote: Irrespective of how much memory you really have, you have a virtual memory size of 4Gb (maximum imposed by the 32-bit architecture). Of this, the kernel will use 1Gb leaving 3Gb for user processes. Each process by default is granted 128Mb data size up to a 512Mb limit. This limit can be raised up to just under 2Gb by setting MAXDSIZ (due to the use of a signed int, I suspect). Given this information, and I would appreciate corrections if I have any of it wrong, my question then becomes this - if I have, for example, 512Mb of real memory and 2Gb of swap space then that would give me a maximum 2.5Gb (depending on how the swapper handles this). What happens once this maximum is used up, since the system has a theoretical maximum of another 1.5Gb? If the system actually tries to use the space allocated through the over-committing strategy is the net result going to be that dreaded signal 11? When you run short of memory, there are two mechanisms that come into play. The first is pretty obvious: functions that attempt to allocate more memory to a process will fail with ENOMEM errors. Much of the time this will result in the process that attempted to allocate the memory quitting. No SIGSEGV (11) involved. Some badly written processes may fail to check the return value from the memory allocation and attempt to use a zero or a garbage pointer, which will result in SIGSEGV or SIGBUS, but that would be extremely unlikely in a well written piece of software like apache. The second is due to the kernel. It may kill off processes in an attempt to free sufficient memory to keep going --- that would be a SIGTERM (15) or a SIGKILL (9). It will choose the process to kill by some criterion to do with the amount of memory and the CPU time used. Because the system has no way of choosing the processes that aren't vital to the intended function of the system, this situation effectively means the machine is out of action. If memory still remains tight, eventually some vital process will be unable to run, and the system will hang up or crash. For that matter, even if one does have 4Gb available, whether real or swap, it seems entirely possible that one could run several large processes and go over this limit. Would this cause a crash? 4Gb memory is the maximum amount of memory addressable using 32bit pointers: it's simply not possible to generate a bit pattern in the pointer variable that corresponds to an address outside that range. On FreeBSD, having several large processes corresponds entirely to the normal running out of memory scenario above, even if there is more than 4Gb physical ram+swap in the machine. (It's actually quite difficult to run FreeBSD in this situation --- you have to set the MAXMEM option in the kernel config or the hw.physmem sysctl in the loader --- see /usr/src/sys/boot/common/help.common --- and tune some other variables). You might think that if you have much more than 4Gb physical memory it should be possible to have a number of processes each seeing their own separate 4Gb addressable space, but mapping onto different sections of real memory. That is possible on some OSes, and it has been discussed on freebsd-hackers, but as far as I know, no one has made available any sort of implementation of it. Note: out of all the processors FreeBSD supports, the above applies only to the IA32 processor family --- the other processors supported by or soon to be supported by FreeBSD (Alpha, Ultrasparc, IA64) all have 64 bit memory addressing, which shouldn't run into this sort of address space problem for a few years yet. A more practical question might be Should I ensure that the number of precesses running won't use more than my total available memory less the 1Gb for the kernel? Practically, you want to ensure that you have sufficient RAM in the machine that it doesn't start to swap during normal usage. If that's impossible, then the best approach is to acquire another machine and spread the load that way.

Questions about installing and video support in current release 4.6.2
Hello freebsd-questions, I am getting ready to try freebsd and have some general questions before i start. 1. I, have used linux and openbsd for awile but i am sure there are some differences so the first one is about dual boot. The machine i am setting up will have 1/2 the drive for XP and 1/2 for freebsd and i am wondering which OS i should load first and then which boot manager to use and how to accomplish this. 2. My machine (amd athlon 1800+ ,256 ddr ram) also has the Geforce 4 video card with dvi output as i use a lcd monior. Is this card supported by the XFree86 sever present in the current release, is it possible to use it at all in case the latter answer is no...and if somehow i can get this card working can i use the DVI output for my lcd and if so what config do i need to add to the xfree86.config to use this DVI port? 3. What is a good, clean, stable and attractive such as themable etc... desktop and window manager combo. I was thinking gnome but wanted some opinions on this.

I was wondering how much data I would download from the internet if I used the /stand/sysinstall - upgrade facilty? G'day Danny, I presume you got your /etc/rc.conf thing sorted? I can't answer your question directly about the amount to download, but I can give you another approach to get the data without eating into your download limit. I am guessing you are with Telstra ADSL or cable. If you are with them, then you can download the FreeBSD iso images from Telstra's Game Arena site for free (i.e. they don't count it towards your download limit.) Make sure you check first that it is on the free site list! I have Telstra ADSL at home with a 3Gb limit and it is free for me. Go to: http://games.telstra.com/gamearena/ Then select resources / file library / unix-like operating systems. I asked them to put the latest 4.6.2 release iso's on there a little while ago, which they did. I've used them to install on four or five machines already. Even if you don't have a burner, you can virtual mount the iso as follows: # vnconfig /dev/vn0c ./image.iso # mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /cdrom You can upgrade via sysinstall from an existing filesystem (in this case /cdrom), it is one of the options. I did it once long ago that way, but can't remember any further details. Maybe someone else has a better clue, or just try it! When you're finished with the iso image: # umount /cdrom # vnconfig -u /dev/vn0c Best of luck!

4.6.2 a point release or full release?
In the release notes, it says This distribution of FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE is a ``point release'' Does this mean you need to upgrade a 4.6 machine to 4.6.2 ? If this is the case, why do the iso's allow a full install. (I just installed 4.6.2 on a machine with a blank hard disk) I guess parts will be missing? Could someone clarify?

I've figured out how to create a 10M malloc-backed disk, but I want a ramdrive more on the order of 128M. How can I do that? The md man page indicates it's possible, but talks about preloading it in loader.conf. However the reply from Terry Lambert to a similar request said it should be done after boot. Any tips or guides? Those are different things. What Terry said was that you want to set up the filesystems after boot. What the manual said was that the *maximum* size of an md(4) device is set with a kernel option. If you're using a RAM disk for reasons that originated in DOS (e.g., faster startup of commonly used programs), remember that FreeBSD is already buffering your disk accesses...

vMWare - access to internet through ISP
I have vMWare installed under FreeBSD 4.6.2. vMWare is running W2K guest OS. The access to internet is going through ISP (cable modem attached to network adapter Realtek). The policy of ISP (in order to prevent private network behind one computer) is that each computer (or rather each network card) needs to be registered. When the vMWare was installed (with hostOnly option) every attempt to access interenet was finished by redirecting to ISP www page where I was asked to register another computer. In hostOnly mode vMWare is using vmnet1 interface to communicate (details listed below). This protocol has obviously different MAC ADDRESS than rl0 interface that is real network card (details also listed below). I was trying to redirect the vmnet1 through rl0 using natd (detailes of natd.conf listed below) but without any effect. My understanding is that the ISP system recognize the MAC ADDRESS of vmnet1 and threfore is asking for registration. It means that the MAC of vmnet1 somehow should be altered - I do not know how. I was asking some friends for help and one of the advise was that vMWare should be installed and executed in Bridged mode. So I did it but when I was trying to start guest OS vMWare send warning that there is no vmnet0 interface. I went through the vMWare script (located in /usr/etc/...something) that initalize vMWare and could not find any refference to vmnet0. Is it enough to use MAKEDEV or some other tools should also be used. In general my question is: How to connect guest OS of vMWare to internet through ISP in case when system of ISP recognize the MAC address of interface and is not allowing to access internet without registration - by the way registration is not free of charge.

Two xdm questions
I just enabled xdm on my 4.6.2 machine. I like it much better than having to startx all the time, but I have two questions: 1) Do the console messages have to go to the xdm-enabled terminal? How can I get them back on ttyv0 like they used to be? 2) I enabled the default line in /etc/ttys for xdm, but I changed the terminal type from xterm to xterm-color. I was thinking this would make my xterms default to xterm-color terminal type, but no, they're still straight xterm. How can I get it to behave the way I want?

Re: Practical limit for pre-loaded md_image size?
I'm copying this to -hackers as well. I tried setting the MD_NSECT to 307200 to accomodate my RAM disk, but according to md(4): At boot time the md driver will search for pre-loaded modules of type `md_image' and instantiate a md device for each of these modules. The type `mfs_root' is also allowed for backward compatibility. These devices are backed by the RAM reserved by the loader(8), and as such not limited by the malloc(9) size constraints. I am preloading the images using the md_image variable in loader.conf, so this documentation thinks I *should* be fine. The kernel with MD_NSECT set to 307200 still failed to boot with my 128MB md_image. I'm attaching my kernel config. -nick On Mon, Sep 23, 2002 at 02:08:11PM -0400, Lowell Gilbert wrote: Nicholas Esborn [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've tried this on two machines: 1 4.7-RC w/ 512 MB of RAM 2 5.0-CURRENT w/ 256 MB of RAM Both behave the same way with a ~128MB md_image.

tracking local changes to ports?
Assuming it's fairly common to make changes to ports for local reasons, is there a recommended way of tracking those changes? I know make and configure args can be specified for portupgrade/portinstall in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, but what about changes to the ports themselves -- e.g., adding a local ./file/patch-xx file, or changing a postinstall script, etc.? 'make clean' clears the ./work directory, and cvsup changes the ports tree, so presumably you want to save your local changes outside the ports tree and make them again when you rebuild/upgrade the port... What are people doing about things like that? Thanks. - Rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: IMHO odd behaviour with jdk-1.3.1p7 and galeon-1.2.6

Re: Time-Sharing ?
On 2002-09-23 13:02, MET [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I see this phrase everywhere. What exactly is meant by 'time-sharing' in Unix? When many programs are run, on a single machine, there's eventually some limit that they will hit as trying to run at the same time. There's only one CPU for instance[1]. Time-sharing refers to a technique that many operating systems use to give the impression that programs run at the same time. A simple diagram might help you understand this better. If there are three programs that are running on a multi-processing operating system (one that allows the execution of many `processes', i.e. programs, at once), and time advances from left to right... the following diagram shows the fragments of time that each program occupies the cpu of the machine. A |---XXX-XXX--XXX---XXX--XXX--| B |---XXX-XXX---XXX---XXX-XXX--| C |--XXX---XXXXXX--| If you project this to a single line, replacing XXX with the name of the program you get something like: T |---AAA-BBB-AAACCC--BBB--AAA-CCC--BBB--AAA--BBB-AAA-BBB-AAA--| The three programs share the time of the machine's cpu, and the operating system takes care of periodically running each one for short periods of time.

Re: Limit Network Traffic APACHE 1.3
you might try mod_throttle http://modules.apache.org/search?id=123 as for dummynet, read the ipfw man page. I think it's a two part process.. first passing things off to a pipe and then defining the pipe. So in the first part you'd specify the port. Never used it though so I could be wrong.

sasl2
Has anyone successfully built Cyrus sasl2 on freebsd 4.6.2 without using any package/ports? I am having troubles. It compiles fine. I can create realms fine...but I consistantly see this in /var/log/messages: (I did ln -s /usr/local/lib/sasl2 /usr/lib/sasl2) Could not find a dlname line in .la file: libsasldb.la So I look into /usr/local/lib/sasl2/ and see this file. Cat'ing it shows an odd thing: snip # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='' # Names of this library. library_names='' # The name of the static archive. old_library='libsasldb.a' snip I am also surprized to see libsasldb.la when I thought it should be libsasldb.so ? Can ANYONE help here or at least give me some pointers?? -- J.D.

How common across the various Unices/Unixes is cut, that is, does Sun/Solaris or Linux come with cut included? It's been on every box I've tried to use it on - SunOS, Solaris, Digital UNIX, AIX, FreeBSD, Linux ... You can do that with sed(1) too, though: `sed -e 's/\.[^.]*$//'` Can you say in poor-man's terms what the above line does? I used to use `sed -e 's/this/that/g'` often but haven't for a few years now. The way I would remember the command was sed edit substitute this for that _g_ood we're done even though I am aware the g is for global. `sed -e 's/\.[^.]*$//'` That says match a literal period followed by zero or more non-period characters up to the end of the line, and delete them. Or to put it another way, chop the file extension off - if it was something like 'foo.tar.gz' it would become 'foo.tar' and not 'foo' Both of these should strip the `.xxx' extension of all input lines. Then, there's Perl, awk, and a few other tools. Practically unlimited ways of doing the same thing :) Giorgos. I wonder if there is a book just chock full of sed, awk, cut, and perl examples dissected into layman's terms... :) Maybe an ORA.COM book? ORA has several books :-) A book called 'sed and awk' which I've never really read too much of since I discovered Perl just after purchasing it. There are several Perl books - if you want examples, I would suggest trying The Perl Cookbook. You might also want to pick up a copy of Mastering Regular Expressions. As far as the use of cut goes, it doesn't really warrant a book of its own (it doesn't do much beyond what the man page says), but you may find it used in various scripts around the place Regards, Duncan Anker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
