Re: Increase memory limit ?
Frank Li wrote: [ ... ] Should I add more physical memory (if so should I reinstll OS)? If you're actually doing something where the 512 MB datasize limit matters to you, adding more physical memory will almost certainly speed things up. No, don't reinstall; even Windows doesn't make you reinstall the OS just because you added memory. :-) Can I just set some parameters(what?) and recompile kernel and increase these limits ? 32-bit systems implementing VM typically could increase user-mode address space up to 2 GB, although variants on that and other things (ie, where devices get mapped into memory) make that only an approximation. For FreeBSD: # Certain applications can grow to be larger than the 128M limit # that FreeBSD initially imposes. Below are some options to # allow that limit to grow to 256MB, and can be increased further # with changing the parameters. MAXDSIZ is the maximum that the # limit can be set to, and the DFLDSIZ is the default value for # the limit. MAXSSIZ is the maximum that the stack limit can be # set to. You might want to set the default lower than the max, # and explicitly set the maximum with a shell command for processes # that regularly exceed the limit like INND. # options MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024) options MAXSSIZ=(256*1024*1024) options DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024) Depending on what you're doing, you might well find using a 64-bit platform (Alpha hardware? Solaris on SPARC?) to be more appropriate... -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Configuring FreeBSD 4.7 for IPFW2
Hi All, I have upgraded FreeBSD from 4.3 to 4.7 - no problems. I now want to run with IPFW, so as the man file says, I compiled my new kernel for 'options IPFW2' I then ran 'make -DIPFW2 ipfw2' in the /usr/srs/sbin/ipfw dir. This compiled ok, and I manually copied it to the /sbin dir. I tried that same with /usr/lib/libalias and got the following: root@fred[5:46pm]/usr/src/lib/libalias-107# make -DIPFW2 alias cc -O -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -DIPFW2 /usr/src/lib/libalias/alias.c -o alias /usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': /usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x79): undefined reference to `main' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o: In function `TcpMonitorIn': /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `GetStateIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x4d): undefined reference to `SetStateIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x61): undefined reference to `SetStateIn' snip /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o: In function `PacketUnaliasOut': /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1788): undefined reference to `FindUdpTcpIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x17a8): undefined reference to `FindIcmpIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x17d3): undefined reference to `GetOriginalAddress' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x17df): undefined reference to `GetOriginalPort' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x18bf): undefined reference to `DifferentialChecksum' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1917): undefined reference to `GetOriginalAddress' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1923): undefined reference to `GetOriginalPort' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x197f): undefined reference to `DifferentialChecksum' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib/libalias.

natd port forwarding acting wierd
Hi I finally got natd and ipforwading set up but have a slight problem I don't understand. The IP forwarding works from the internet, through the cable modem and through the freeBSD router I set up for my internal network, to a www server on the private lan. I can't connect to my server however from my local net using the ip of the external net. I was asking some folks I know for help.. when they told me what the page had on it... so it was working for them on their systems from various places around the country.. but still gives me a connection refused when going from a local machine. I gave them the ip my ISP gives me.. and it worked.. I try the same IP and it doesn't work from my 192.168.0.* box, which by the way is the same box with the www server on it I am trying to connect to. ( I can connect to it using the local ip and machine name, but that's not the point ) ;) Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks in advance. :) WillyB To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

If you're following the way natd is setup in /etc/rc.firewall, viz
this chunk of code:
case ${firewall_type} in
[Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn]|[Cc][Ll][Ii][Ee][Nn][Tt])
case ${natd_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
if [ -n ${natd_interface} ]; then
${fwcmd} add 50 divert natd all from any to any via
${natd_interface}
fi
;;
esac
esac
notice that the rule to divert packets into natd only selects packets
that traverse the external interface (${natd_interface} in
/etc/rc.conf) of your gateway machine. Packets from your internal
(192.168.0.0/24) network will not pass through that interface even if
they are destined for your nat'ed address, so they won't hit the
divert rule and they won't get nat'ed.
Now, you might think that the obvious answer is just to drop the 'via
${natd_interface}' part of the divert rule, so that all packets
passing across your gateway machine pass through nat'ing.
Unfortunately, this will fail to work --- apart from the fact that it
will probably screw things up by trying to nat packets going via the
loopback interface and all sorts of other unintended consequences,
your original aim of being able to access your internal server as if
you were coming from outside your net still won't work.
What happens is this:
You send a packet to the NAT address on your gateway.
The modified firewall rules pass the packet through the divert socket
to natd, which rewrites the destination address to be that of your
internal server. Nb. the *source* address in the packet is left
untouched.
The packet is then sent across your internal network to your server.
The server deals with it as normal, and generates a response packet
back to the *original sender*, with it's own address as the source.
That happens to be to a machine on the local network, so the response
packet gets delivered straight there. Normally, the response packet
would be to a remote network and the packet would have to pass through
your gateway to get there, thus giving the natd machinery the chance
to process it, and replace the sender address with the nat address.
Now, the original machine is expecting to have a tcp conversation with
a machine using your nat address. Unfortunately the packets it
receives in response appear to come from some machine on your local
net. In order to preserve sanity it ignores those packets and keeps
listening out for the expected response from the place it sent the
packets to. Eventually it all times out and everybody gives up in
disgust.
There are two possible solutions to this problem.
i) Split Horizon. Usually implemented in terms of DNS, but you
can fudge the issue using /etc/hosts on your internal machines if
that's easier for you. All this does is arrange things so that a
lookup for www.mysite.com returns the address of the server on the
internal network when looked up from inside, and the address of
the nat gateway when looked up from outside.
ii) Reverse Proxy. Instead of accessing your internal server via
a NAT gateway, set up a web proxy on your gateway machine. Unlike
a normal web proxy, instead of grabbing web pages from out on the
net for the benefit of your internal systems, the reverse proxy
grabs web pages from your internal machine for the benefit of the
rest of the net. The NAT gateway will rewrite one out of the
sender or recipient addresses of any packets addressed to it,
whereas the proxy will effectively rewrite both the sender and
recipient addresses, solving the problem detailed above.

Matthew

Connecting to httpd and sshd from remote computer
I'm unable to connect to my EPIA-800 box running FreeBSD 5.0 RC-3. Connecting to servers FROM the box (for instance browsing the web with lynx) and ping works just find. I'm running 2.0.43 of Apache, not sure what version of sshd, I run the one that came with FreeBSD. Both daemons are up and running, and listening to their ports, at least according to sockstat. httpd is listening to port 80 (using tcp6 only, of some reason), while sshd is listening on port 22 (both tcp4 and tcp6). I've also got inetd running, if I open for telnet in the /etc/inted.conf file, I'm able to telnet from another machine and connect to the box. A solution might be to add sshd and httpd in inetd, but from what I've heard, inetd is listening for connections to certain ports, then, if any connections are detected, opening the appropriate program and routing the connection to that program (am I right on this one?). This should not be necessary, since both sshd and httpd is already listening for connections on their own. My first assumption was that the problem was caused by a firewall, but I don't think any firewall or firewall rules are set up, since firewall_enable=NO in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Another fishy thing is that I'm also unable to connect to Apache from localhost using lynx. lynx 192.168.0.10:80 gives me an Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.. The ServerName is set to 192.168.0.10:80 in the httpd.cond file. Connecting to the sshd using ssh works fine in the sense that I get a connection to sshd, but is unable to log in. Pinging the FreeBSD system from another computer works fine. So, do you guys have any ideas? Good or bad, it doesn't matter, because I'm totally out of ideas...

stunnel + transparent proxying
Using ipfw and/or NAT, has anyone ever succeeded in getting stunnel to bind transparently to a local address? I have been experimenting with the alias function for the NIC, and used ipfw and NAT to divert in all directions I could wiz. But stunnel always regards the address as belonging to localhost, and fails to bind transparently. :( What I want, is to allow a secure connection to read news over. But not so that stunnel's failure to bind transparently breaks the access.db (as, from the news server's point of view, all seems to come from localhost). I know the Linux kernel allows transparent binding (locally). But I thought maybe on FreeBSD I could fake a remote to bind to, which is really a local address (on the same machine). I am beginning to think this is not really possible; but one can always hope. :) - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
popa3d-before-sendmail
Hello ! I'm using FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE. I installed popa3d-before-sendmail from the ports (popa3d with SMTP_AFTER_POP3 option; thanks to a people on this list). The pop-before-smtp is working fine except that the IPs in /etc/mail/popauth stay forever, meaning the relay stays open forever for those IPs. In pop-before-sendmail.patch, -DVALIDTIME=600, meaning the relaying for those IPs should work for 10 minutes (600 seconds) before having to make another pop authentication, but the relay stays open forever... # makemap -u hash popauth xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1042721098 Any idea ?

I am monitoring a serial port's CTS line, and need to get the fact that it's changed state logged into the DB. I can use C and/or PHP. Perl is beyond me :-( (I have trouble enough just trying to add Perl modules). This is OT for the FreeBSD lists. MySQL has several list where you'll have more people subscribed who can help you. However, it sounds like you want to use the MySQL C API. If you install the MySQL client, the C API is included (if memory serves). All you have to do is write your code to use it, and be sure to give the proper options to cc when you compile to link in the MySQL libraries. This page starts the docs on the MySQL C API. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/C.html The C program runs continuously, monitoring the CTS bit, so I thought it would be nice to dump the info straight into the MySQL DB. As a backup, I suppose, I could dump the 'date/time' and 'CTS-Open-Closed' into a text file, then once a day, run a PHP script to import the files contents into the MySQL DB. However, that means I wouldn't get any live data. That sounds pretty clunky. I know there is the MySQL++ project, but I had problems trying to get that to function, and my C++ knowledge is negligible. Any help, or tips would be grateful.

Shell history in FreeBSD ksh (or ksh93)
I've been using ksh with the vi keybindings for several years now (changed from csh). I've even been able to get this working on former FreeBSD machines, by downloading the ksh from the ATTT site. I've now got a 4.7 STABLE machine, and I'm trying to get this to work with either it's ksh, or ksh93 (which I thought would be the same as the ATTT version, since it's code is now free). But so far I've not been able to get this to work. To be specific, what I want is to be able to press [ESC} and be in the ex (line mode) editor on the command history. I dragged over a set of . files from a working FreeBSD machine, that has the ATTT version, but it's still not working on this machine. It's been _way_ too long since I set this up to remember how I got it working. Where should I start looking? What environment variables control this, and what should the be set to?

The entropy is the mean information per symbol. The higher the entropy, the more random the language is. It can be shown that the entropy is maximum when all the symbols in the alphabet have the same probability 1/n, where n is the number of symbols in the alphabet. In that case, the entropy has a value of -n*log2(n). Also, in that case the alphabet is trully random.

syslog.conf and newsyslog.conf questions
Hey all. I have a silly little admin question. Recently I got a message on my work machine security check output saying that there was a failed login attempt for my id, from an IP that seemed a little familiar. The date of the attempt was January 14. Well, grepping thru /var/log/auth.log, I found the message, but it seems it was actually last year. The IP was familiar because it is one I used to have when I had ATT Broadband as my ISP at home. There was a hole in the firewall at work at the time, but it shouldn't have been there now. Anyway, it caused quite a bit of confusion before we realized that the security output was only grepping out the previous days entries without using the year - and why should it, they aren't even part of the entries. What I need to do obviously, is get my auth.log to roll from time to time. Preferably on a monthly basis. The thing is, what, if anything, should I put in the PIDFILE and SIGNAL fields to ensure the daemon resumes logging to a new auth.log rather than continuing to log to the one that's been rolled and possibly compressed? Here's what I have so far for the entry: /var/log/auth.log640 12*$M1D0 Z I'm guessing this is a syslog logfile judging from the /etc/syslog.conf entry: auth.info;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log So, should I provide the path to that pidfile? I have other entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf that correspond to log entries in /etc/syslog.conf, but don't have any signal or pidfile info. Is this ok? It does look like the logs get rolled properly without the need for pidfile or signal info, but I want to be sure.

Re: syslog.conf and newsyslog.conf questions
On Thu, Jan 16, 2003 at 11:55:46AM -0500, Louis LeBlanc wrote: Recently I got a message on my work machine security check output saying that there was a failed login attempt for my id, from an IP that seemed a little familiar. The date of the attempt was January 14. Well, grepping thru /var/log/auth.log, I found the message, but it seems it was actually last year. The IP was familiar because it is one I used to have when I had ATT Broadband as my ISP at home. There was a hole in the firewall at work at the time, but it shouldn't have been there now. Anyway, it caused quite a bit of confusion before we realized that the security output was only grepping out the previous days entries without using the year - and why should it, they aren't even part of the entries. What I need to do obviously, is get my auth.log to roll from time to time. Preferably on a monthly basis. The thing is, what, if anything, should I put in the PIDFILE and SIGNAL fields to ensure the daemon resumes logging to a new auth.log rather than continuing to log to the one that's been rolled and possibly compressed? Here's what I have so far for the entry: /var/log/auth.log640 12*$M1D0 Z I'm guessing this is a syslog logfile judging from the /etc/syslog.conf entry: auth.info;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log So, should I provide the path to that pidfile? I have other entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf that correspond to log entries in /etc/syslog.conf, but don't have any signal or pidfile info. Is this ok? It does look like the logs get rolled properly without the need for pidfile or signal info, but I want to be sure. Correct: newsyslog defaults to HUP'ing syslogd if you don't give it an explicit PID --- otherwise it couldn't recycle most of the log files in /var/log. The default newsyslog.conf contains a line for auth.log anyhow, without any .pid files or signal numbers: % grep auth.log /usr/src/etc/newsyslog.conf /var/log/auth.log 600 7 100 * Z Note that you'll probably want the file to be mode 600 and owned by root:wheel if it's going to receive category authpriv messages.

IPFW smart networkshaping like in Linux
Lo ppl, a few month ago there was an article in the german computer mag c't which described how to tune an ADSL connection. One of the tips was to give small IP-packages (64 bytes and less) a high priority. According to the article this will result in an improved behaviour when up- and downstream are both busy at the same time. As i suffer exactly this problem, i would like to try it out on FreeBSD 5. As i can not find what the command would be in FreeBSD - and if it is even supported, i hope some of you FreeBSD / Linux guys can help me out. Here is the Linux command: # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o ppp0 -p tcp -m length --length :64 -j MARK --set-mark 12 The comlete script can be downloaded here: http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/02/24/224/ What would be the options in FreeBSD?

Re: natd port forwarding acting wierd
Thanks for your answer and solutions Matthew :)
This is my 4th day of using freeBSD and I'm still very new to it.
I have used RedHat prior to this and when I could not get it to connect
to my ISP via the cable modem I installed freeBSD. ;)
Actually.. I don't fully understand the rc.firewall script, so I made my
own very simple one :)
I will try to implement the reverse proxy solution you wrote about as
this will probably be easiest for me.
Thanks again for your help and very thorough explination. I understand
what's happening now ;)

I finally got natd and ipforwading set up but have a slight problem I
don't understand.
The IP forwarding works from the internet, through the cable modem and
through the freeBSD router I set up for my internal network, to a www
server on the private lan.
I can't connect to my server however from my local net using the ip of
the external net.
If you're following the way natd is setup in /etc/rc.firewall, viz
this chunk of code:
case ${firewall_type} in
[Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn]|[Cc][Ll][Ii][Ee][Nn][Tt])
case ${natd_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
if [ -n ${natd_interface} ]; then
${fwcmd} add 50 divert natd all from any to any via ${natd_interface}
fi
;;
esac
esac
notice that the rule to divert packets into natd only selects packets
that traverse the external interface (${natd_interface} in
/etc/rc.conf) of your gateway machine. Packets from your internal
(192.168.0.0/24) network will not pass through that interface even if
they are destined for your nat'ed address, so they won't hit the
divert rule and they won't get nat'ed.
Now, you might think that the obvious answer is just to drop the 'via
${natd_interface}' part of the divert rule, so that all packets
passing across your gateway machine pass through nat'ing.
Unfortunately, this will fail to work --- apart from the fact that it
will probably screw things up by trying to nat packets going via the
loopback interface and all sorts of other unintended consequences,
your original aim of being able to access your internal server as if
you were coming from outside your net still won't work.
What happens is this:
You send a packet to the NAT address on your gateway.
The modified firewall rules pass the packet through the divert socket
to natd, which rewrites the destination address to be that of your
internal server. Nb. the *source* address in the packet is left
untouched.
The packet is then sent across your internal network to your server.
The server deals with it as normal, and generates a response packet
back to the *original sender*, with it's own address as the source.
That happens to be to a machine on the local network, so the response
packet gets delivered straight there. Normally, the response packet
would be to a remote network and the packet would have to pass through
your gateway to get there, thus giving the natd machinery the chance
to process it, and replace the sender address with the nat address.
Now, the original machine is expecting to have a tcp conversation with
a machine using your nat address. Unfortunately the packets it
receives in response appear to come from some machine on your local
net. In order to preserve sanity it ignores those packets and keeps
listening out for the expected response from the place it sent the
packets to. Eventually it all times out and everybody gives up in
disgust.
There are two possible solutions to this problem.
i) Split Horizon. Usually implemented in terms of DNS, but you
can fudge the issue using /etc/hosts on your internal machines if
that's easier for you. All this does is arrange things so that a
lookup for www.mysite.com returns the address of the server on the
internal network when looked up from inside, and the address of
the nat gateway when looked up from outside.
ii) Reverse Proxy. Instead of accessing your internal server via
a NAT gateway, set up a web proxy on your gateway machine. Unlike
a normal web proxy, instead of grabbing web pages from out on the
net for the benefit of your internal systems, the reverse proxy
grabs web pages from your internal machine for the benefit of the
rest of the net. The NAT gateway will rewrite one out of the
sender or recipient addresses of any packets addressed to it,
whereas the proxy will effectively rewrite both the sender and
recipient addresses, solving the problem detailed above.

Matthew

4.7-STABLE upgrade boot failure.
First, let me profusely apologize if this is a dual post, as I tried to post two days ago and never saw it come up on the list. Trying now with a free webmail account. Did a clean buildworld, installworld, etc. etc. on a 4.5-RC1 system up to 4.7-STABLE release. Everything went through fine, no problems. Rebuilt kernel and installed the new 4.7 GENERIC kernel, no problems. Ran mergemaster, did a MAKEDEV, no problems. Rebooted.. and problems. Upon boot, it tries to load up the root partition off of /dev/ad4s1a (which is correct), but brings up a Mount boot failure: 16 error, and asks for a good ufs root location. Typing in ufs:/dev/ad4s1a does no good. IDE controller = Highpoint HPT370 onboard = ar0. IDE drives = 2x IBM 60gig mirrored = ad4, ad5. Eventually, had to boot to 4.5-RC1 kernel which came up fine on /dev/ad4s1a. The problem is, everything else is 4.7 now, so there's lots of weirdness. The problem is in the kernel? No more support for Highpoint controllers? Is there something else I should be doing in /dev besides a MAKEDEV std? Help?

Your question, I think, put me onto something. I've been rerunning the mirror command with top running. mirror fails with the memory size around 520m consistantly. Limits gives me a datasize limit of 524288kb. (Close enough for me!) I've come to the conclusion that the man page would benefit from some examples. I've been trying to raise the datasize limit but it does not seem to take. Example: limits -B -d 4g mirror.sh... still blows up with memory values, from top, around 520m (give or take a little.) You've gotten me looking in the right area. All I have to do now is get the override to work. Can anybody provide any insights on how to actually do this? You need to change the maximum limit; this is best done by modifying login.conf(5) (and rebuilding the database). One of the uses of these limits is as a security issue, so the user can't raise the limits above the given maximum level themselves. At .5GB, though, you may be hitting a kernel limit; I know that MAXDSIZ defaults to something like 128MB. Getting to 4GB on a 32-bit machine is probably not practical anyway. I'd recommend using something more efficient than mirror, or at least figuring a way to break the replication up into smaller pieces. A half-gigabyte is a ludicrous amount of memory space to be using for any such task. [I kind of suspect a memory leak in the application, based on those numbers.] Good luck.

Re: installing win2k after Freebsd?
I know there's got to be a way to make this work and keep the freebsd boot loader. I've heard there's a way to tell a windows installation not to install a boot loader. Windows 2000 won't touch your boot loader, IIRC. And even if it does, you can boot of a FreeBSD install CD, got to the fdisk section and tell it to write changes (without changing anything) and you'll get the option to replace the FreeBSD boot loader. Warning on this, exactly which buttons you select determines whether or not the bootloader gets installed. I did it like 3 times or something before it worked the last time I had to, but the good news is that it never did anything wrong. For the curious, Windows 2000 _does_ overwrite the boot sector. Also, I was unable to make FreeBSD install the boot loader. I did every possible combination of things, and every time it _seemed_ like it was going to install the boot loader, but it never did until I went through an install process... :( Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Increase memory limit ?
Thanks for all of your replies,
Now I can do it through recompiling the kernel and the limits did increase.
I haven't tried whether it can increase over 2G (I would love that if it
can!). The code I used cannot be easily changed to reduce memory
consumption but I think 2G would probably be enough for some time. Indeed,
I found the max value I could set is 2048*1024*1024-1, bigger than that will
result in a negative value shown by limit.
You can also tune this at boot time by adding them to the file
/boot/loader.conf. e.g.
kern.maxdsiz=(256*1024*1024)
I added this (though it was actually 1024*1024*1024) to /boot/loader.conf
and also /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and booted the GENERIC kernel. The
limits were still the old ones (i.e.512M). It did not work I don't know
why, but I am already happy as recompiling kernel worked anyway.
The final problem now becomes: Initially I made the swap partition to be 1GB
and there is no more free partition on my harddisk. This value now actually
becomes the bottleneck. Repartitioning will lose all my data and also
applications installed, and thus is very high cost operation. Is there any
easy way to increase the swap partition ? Say, add one more harddisk(need
to tell the OS?)? For me, the easiest way I prefer is to use a file (under
/usr say, as I have lots of space there) associated with a disk device by
vnconfig for the swapping. It seems not difficult to do so. By looking at
/etc/rc, I noticed the following:
# Add additional swapfile, if configured.
#
case ${swapfile} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
;;
*)
if [ -w ${swapfile} -a -c /dev/vn0b ]; then
echo Adding ${swapfile} as additional swap
vnconfig -e /dev/vn0b ${swapfile} swap
fi
;;
esac
The swapfile will be associated as an additional swap device (i.e./dev/vn0b
which does exist in my system). But I didn't find where the variable
${swapfile} is set. Do you know ?
I tried adding one line swapfile=/usr/someone/swap1 and created a file
/usr/someone/swap1 with vi editor by typing some characters in. Then boot
the system, I saw the booting message said:
Adding /usr/someone/swap1 as additional swap
vnconfig:
swapon
:
Device not configured:
Doing intial network setup
I am not sure if it actually already worked or not.
Thanks!

Re: Increase memory limit ?

I haven't tried whether it can increase over 2G (I would love that if it can!).

Indeed, I found the max value I could set is 2048*1024*1024-1, bigger than that will result in a negative value shown by limit. Yes, 2G - 1 is the maximum size a signed int can hold ... mind you, any program needing more that 2G of memory really should be implementing on-disk storage of data for itself.

Customizing the consol - Changing the resolution
Hello there, I'm kind of new to FreeBSD, in terms of the structure the OS. I've installed FreeBSD 5.0 RC 3 before I had version 4.7. I install the OS to explore and learn about it, so far I love it. Here is my question: How can I change the resolution of the consol ? By default it's set to 640x480. I've read there is a way to display a splash image at higher resolution, but I'm not sure if it will stay afterwards. Basically I want to set the consol resolution at 1024 or higher, like I once had done in a Slackware Linux installation. Thanks, DT.

Re: Customizing the consol - Changing the resolution
Haven't dealt with splash screens on the console (I prefer to watch all the gory dmesg output scroll by), but I just changed my console resolution on a 4.7-STABLE box (built about 2 months ago) a few days ago. I can't say for sure whether the following instructions will work on a 5.0 box, however... I ran man vidcontrol, and found that it looks like the highest resolution you can achieve is 800x600, with a font size of 8x8 at 132x60 chars on-screen. I found that the 800x600 res uses a box centered on the screen in which my text was displayed -- that is, there's a lot of unused black space around my console, so I use VESA_132x50 instead (see #2 below) instead of VESA_800x600 to eliminate the wasted screen space. After messing around with putting my own startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, I found that, IIRC, all I needed to do was to (in this order, of course): 1) Prior to doing #2, load the VESA driver (kldload vesa). This can be done with this line in /boot/loader.conf: vesa_load=YES 2) Put this option in /etc/rc.conf: allscreens_flags=-f 8x8 /usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x8.fnt VESA_132x50 ...which will set the ISO 8x8 font and as default across all consoles, using the vidcontrol command. Of course, you can use other fonts (as long as they are 8x8) if you prefer. 3) Reboot to reinit the rc.conf file's new settings And assuming I haven't forgotten anything, that's it! Before doing any of the above though, I *highly* reccommend trying out the different resolutions and fonts using the vidcontrol command on 1 console until you find a combination you like -- *then* put the vidcontrol option string in for the allscreens_flags= statement above. That way, you don't change 1 setting and either A) it doesn't work or B) you find out you don't like it, and in either case, you wind up rebooting over and over again... You don't have to reboot to change your console resolution at all... -ES On Thursday 16 January 2003 08:52 pm, Dilshod wrote: Hello there, I'm kind of new to FreeBSD, in terms of the structure the OS.
