Did I understand the situation right - the drive worked in 4.7 machine but the problem occurred when you moved it to the 4.9 machine? That's right. The above fstab entry doesn't look quite correct to me. The filesystem that you mount should usually be contained in a partition (e.g. /dev/ad6s1e) not on entire disk (/dev/ad6). If the drive worked in the 4.7 machine, what was the fstab entry there? I cant recall the fstab entry but the drive was as Master on the secondary IDE channel and had only one partition using all diskspace. In the 4.9 machine the drive is on a DMA-66-Controller. Under Win2000 this is listet as a SCSI-Device. I don't know whether this can be the problem - I will try to put it again on the IDE-Channel.

It's always worked for me, including downloading most sources and dependencies. Sometimes, after upgrading from 4.9 to 5.0, for example, I had to install certain things manually, from ports, such as GTK+ and gettext.

Re: Questions regarding use of 'gdb -k'
Greg, Thanks. Regarding the suspected corrupt dump file. In the syslog I can see the dump file being created (actually 'vmcore') and there are no error messages. Are you saying that the corruption occurs during the writing of the file or is the data resident in memory corrupt? I suspect that something is wrong with the hardware on this box. We moved the hard drive from one motherboard to another but the problem remains. This leaves the hard drive as suspect but there are no syslog messages to indicate a drive problem. The system is running 4.8 p13. Thanks.

Download and install this by doing the following: #cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup #make install when done, create an text document called cvs-supfile in the /root directory: #cd /root #ee cvs-supfile ---document contents follow:--- *default host=cvsup3.freeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all #ports-all doc-all ---document contents above--- Now, you want to use that file to get the correct sources. #cvsup -g -L2 /root/cvs-supfile When this file is complete, change to the /usr/src directory and build all your source files. #cd /usr/src #make clean; make world This process on a 486 could take an hour or more. Just be aware of this. Once this is done, you need to recompile your kernel. Change to the kernel configuration directory. #cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf You may have edited this document or not, if not, just configure your GENERIC kernel, otherwise change GENERIC in this example for the correct file: #config GENERIC You will get a message about your build directory is ../../compile/GENERIC or what ever you substituted for GENERIC, and a message about not forgetting to make depend: #cd ../../compile/GENERIC #make; make depend; make install After this is done, reboot and you should be good to go!

AFAIK, there is only one DNS system, which is designed to serve
names for both IPv4 and IPv6. It is the client who asks either
for A records (IPv4 resolution) or records (IPv6 resolution),
from the SAME set of DNS servers.
Let's assume that you want to operate *.example.org as IPv4 and
*.example6.org as IPv6 networks. You would have two domains
in the .org TLD:
example.org -> NS ns1.example.org
-> NS ns2.example.org
example6.org -> NS ns1.example6.org
-> NS ns2.example6.org
It is important to realize that ns1 and ns2 must resolve
to IPv4 addresses for both example.org and example6.org.
Now you could populate the DNS maps of ns{1,2}.example6.org
with records holding IPv6 addresses, and the DNS maps
of ns{1,2}.example.org with A records, holding IPv4 addresses.
Nothing prevents you from doing both on the same domain!
example46.org -> NS ns1.example46.org
NS ns2.example46.org
ns{1,2}.example46.org could contain both A and records,
like, say:
hybrid A
hybrid
The host hybrid.example46.org would have an IPv4 and an
IPv6 address (they don't need to overlap!).
Now the clients' resolver library would generally ask
for A records, if it should resolve hybrid.example46.org.
It would therefore obtain an IPv4 address from
ns{1,2}.example46.org for the host name hybrid.example46.org.
A client could still ask for IPv6 addresses, e.g.:
% host -t hybrid.example46.org (ask for IPv6 address)
% host -t a hybrid.example46.org(ask for IPv4 address)
% host hybrid.example46.org (same as host -t a ...)
> the technical side of it is clear... someone somewhere needs to keep a track
> of the names...
You are responsible for keeping track of the names
under *.example.org, *.example6.org, *.example46.org.
There is no such thing as an IPv6[-only] domain name.
If you asked about PTR records, this would be more
interesting... [Hint: ip6.arpa.] ;-)

I don't think snmp tables have any defined order. I don't even know if
the index for a particular resource is guaranteed to be stable across
filesystem dismount/remounts. Something like this should work:
snmptable -Cf : blue hrStorageTable | grep :/var: | awk -F : '{print $4 * $5}'
I use something similar in a script to graph disk usage in mrtg. It
sould be really nice if snmptable had a built-in flag to print a
particular cell from a table, though.

Re: Ooops - Re: while I have your attention... Names, copyright and IPv6
as usual, there has been a bit of a misunderstanding... being a loosely typed language, Engliosh is difficult to communicate in :-0 Names, addresses and DNS are obviously different things. I understand where IPv6 addresses come from (sort of). I understand (sort of) how IPv6 works for DNS records relating names to IPv6 addresses what I was really asking is: in the IPv4 world, name brokers "sell" names that are then related to IPv4 addresses. Legality of the name choice etc. is generally owner onus... Is there a similar sort of (or coincident) naming authority for IPv6 based names? example. if I operate a network, boxen1.example.org, boxen2.example.org, etc., as an IPv4 address space and a second coincident network, boxen1.example6.org, boxen2.example6.org, etc., as an IPv6 based address space, where does the authority to allocate the IPv6-network based names reside? the technical side of it is clear... someone somewhere needs to keep a track of the names... anyway, this is straying somewhat from the core subject matter of this list...

Alternatively you could just write a script that polls a number of pid-files, one per daemon you want to monitor, and checks if the daemon is still running - if not it restarts the daemon. The gist of the script would be: - for each pid, send a CHLD signal to the pid - if the return code is 0, the process is still running so do nothing, otherwise restart the daemon I've not used daemontools too much away from djbdns suite, but presumably you could use supervise to do the work. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
5.0 vs. 5.1
I'm currently running 5.0 release and am wondering about the possible positives/negatives of switching to another release, particularly 5.1 current. I'm running it as my "work" machine for programming and school type things, side by side with my windows machine, so it's not *essential*, but I would definitely like to eventually be done with windows all-together. Strangely, I've never been able to get this system to boot to the sysinstall menu with any 4.8 or 4.9 build, so provided I'm not just doing something horribly stupid they're not an option. My end goals would be to have this machine see and be visible to my windows network, set up email, ftp, and web servers, and have as much multimedia functionality and windows program accessibility as possible. ~john ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: NEED_FIRST NEED_LAST
>From one computer lab monitor to another, BSD is good stuff. I've recently wiped my RH 9.0 machine to install BSD on the recommendation of one of my professors and now most of the advanced lab machines are running it, much to the delight of the users. Key points: 1.) The ports collection. Forget searching around the web for some package, downloading it, ./configuring it, all that junk. With the bsd ports collection, stored in /usr/ports, you cd to the directory of the application you want to install and "make install clean". Build and run dependancies are checked and (more often then not) taken care of, and the program is installed and integrated into your system. Same applies for deinstalling. More info and a listing/search of current ports at freebsd.org/ports 2.) Stability. freeBSD may not be the most cutting edge build out there, considering it's unix, not linux (and thus requires linux emulation packages), but it's probably one of the most stable and secure. 3.) Community. I, for one, would get quite frustrated when looking for linux info that pertained to MY SPECIFIC DISTRO. It wasn't enough to just search for info on linux..

I don't know for sure here, so please take this with a grain of salt: IPv6 addresses are represented by instead of A records in DNS nameservers. Right now, I think that you can only point .org (and other [cc]TLD) nameservers to nameservers residing on an IPv4 address [anyone correct me if I'm wrong here]. But you could always configure your nameservers (let's say ns1.bergen.org, ns2.bergen.org) to return IPv6 addresses to some names, by adding records to them. But since IPv6 names are not (yet) globally routed on the Internet, this will have local meaning only (e.g. on an intranet). Generally speaking: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are _never_ allocated by name brokers or DNS systems. They reside at a much lower level, which has nothing to do with _names_. If you connect to the Internet, your upstream provider(s) will assign to you IPv4 address blocks automatically. You would normally not be able to influence this, because it is deeply intertwined with the routing protocols that all network operators use to transmit data on the Internet. You may ask how network operators get their IP address blocks.

I can buy my self a name off a name vendor - eg. bergen.org... I then get to own that name... so, Question 1) where does the DNS record for that name reside? with my ISP? with the name vendor? Well, the short version is there are several 'root servers' which anyone running BIND/DNS should laready have a list of- they are the initially consulted servers with respect to which servers are 'authoritative' for a given TLD(Top level domain, eg .com, .net, .edu, ) If you registered a .org domain, one of the TLD Domain servers for .org would be queried, and then down to your domain, eg bergen.org, which would point to who is registered as being Authoritative for the bergen.org domain. This is generally handled when you register the domain name- you're given the option in many cases to have the registrar (eg, Network Solutions, GoDaddy.com (sucky name, but very inexpensive domain registrations), etc) handle DNS for your domain, or to specify your own name servers (which can be hosted by yourself, or someone that has agreed to providfe DNS services for your domain(s)). In theory, and generally in practice, these changes can take up to ~12 hours or so to propgate, up to 48-72 hours to propogate your DNS records to the rest of the nameservers online. lets say I have a network and wish to name the boxen depending on the OS running on them thus... microsoft.bergen.org SCO.bergen.org Sun.bergen.org Question 2) where do those DNSrecord reside? On whomever is authoritative for the bergen.com domain. type at a Unix prompt: dig bergen.org and you'll see the system ns.bergen.org is Authoritative for that domain...although you may want to do a 'dig bergen.com' for comparison :-) Question3) surely I'm breaking copyright or trademark laws here? whats to stop me being sued? for that matter, whats to stop vexatious litigation? and what about the name brokers? do they have legal responsibilities? and if I run DNS server on my network am I then a name provider for myself and have to worry about litigation? This is a grey area (surprise), with both the Trademark owners as well as the 'little people' winning in various cases. AFAIK, I haven't seen anyone go to court over the hostname portion of their site- remember, 'the Net as we know it' has now almost been reduced to simply ftp.domain.TLD and www.domain.TLD at this point, with 'the world at large' rarely using hostnames other than ftp or www. Also, see: http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/help/legal-info.jhtml and http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/help/domain-magistrate.jhtml for some info on domain disputes, or Google for 'domain disputes' Question4) or to put it another way, what is the relationship between trademark control institutions and name brokers?

Re: while I have your attention... Names, copyright and IPv6
> Question 1) where does the DNS record for that name reside? with my ISP? with > the name vendor? Let's assume that the name is bergen.org. bergen.org is stored in three places: * the registry for .org (http://www.pir.org/) points bergen.org to a registrar. * the registrar pointed to by the registry contains the name, along with your contact data, and DNS nameservers. * the DNS nameservers for bergen.org will answer queries to everything related to *.bergen.org. The name vendor registers your name with a registrar, which in turn registers the name with its registry (for org, its PIR, for .com and .net it's VeriSign, and for ccTLDs like .fr, .de. ,us, ... its the national registry for that country). Now, the registry responsible for e.g. .org will use the information stored to configure the DNS name servers for .org by adding name server records for bergen.org. In other words, the .org name servers are configured to point to the DNS nameservers for bergen.org. > lets say I have a network and wish to name the boxen depending on the OS > running on them thus... > microsoft.bergen.org > SCO.bergen.org > Sun.bergen.org > > Question 2) > where do those DNSrecord reside?

You are totally responsible for respecting coyright and trademark laws. Registrars (and registries) are not responsible for this. In the agreements you electronically sign, you confirm that you are responsible for the names that you choose. If a company discovers that you've registered "their" name in your name, they'll contact you (using the admin address contact that you submitted at your registrar), and will require you to return or give them this name. You would then agreen to a transfer of domain to the company, if you think that their claim is justified. But if you disagree, you'd enter a formalized procedure called UDRP (Uniform Domain Resolution Policy) so solve the issue: http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm but be careful: nothing prevents a legal name owner for suing you anyway, and you'll have to prove that you acquired/registered the name in good faith. So don't register ibm.com [if it were not already registered!] :-) > Question4) > or to put it another way, what is the relationship between trademark control > institutions and name brokers? I don't know an answer to this. I'd just assume that there are no relationships at all, and that you are responsible for the names that you acquire, from whatever source (name brokers, or self registration). Of to put in another way: the domain namespace is not directly related to the trademark, or registered mark namespace; but generally, TM or (R)'s have precedence over DNS domain names.

Just for the record I have the kind of setup you're talking about - I successfully 'hot swapped' a 40Gb IDE disk using a hdd caddy tray but there are caveats (mostly highlighted above) - using the term 'hot swap' loosely here because it just doesn't feel too clever doing it :P I found the following: - I could remove/reinsert the device only if it was originally in the machine on boot - this is fairly obvious I suppose. Otherwise the device just doesn't show up. - I could re-insert the device successfully but only if I'd umounted it first before removing it. - Removing the disk without umounting produced random results - sometimes the disk could be re-inserted ok, other times not, as the previous poster mentioned the IDE controller appears to hang. For the record iirc the disk was attached to the secondary ide controller with a hdd and a cdrom drive on the first ide controller.

I've inherited a set of 280 1U rack mount boxes, and I am in the process of reinstalling from scratch every single server. Started with infrastructure (DNS and firewalls), then working down to every server with a fresh FTP install from the first recovered box. Yes, newfs everything, and recompiling _all_ binaries from scratch. I even reconfigured VLANs on the switches to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks like tcp hijacking, while ftp installing, and locked the subnets to these racks until everything's restored. The only backups were databases in SQL and LDIF format and lots of text data. No binaries and no compromised sources to recover from. Of course, the data could've been hacked too, but that would take more time to fix. I've only checked (and cleaned!) authorization and authentication data so far. Sometimes, small incidents trigger major reconfigurations.

while I have your attention... Names, copyright and IPv6
Hi all, given how clearly you-all answered my query about 'hostname' (thanks folks) I thought I'd chance my luck. so, let me get this straight... in the IPv4 world there is this thing called DNS and domain names... I can buy my self a name off a name vendor - eg. bergen.org... I then get to own that name... so, Question 1) where does the DNS record for that name reside? with my ISP? with the name vendor? lets say I have a network and wish to name the boxen depending on the OS running on them thus... microsoft.bergen.org SCO.bergen.org Sun.bergen.org Question 2) where do those DNSrecord reside? Question3) surely I'm breaking copyright or trademark laws here? whats to stop me being sued? for that matter, whats to stop vexatious litigation? and what about the name brokers? do they have legal responsibilities? and if I run DNS server on my network am I then a name provider for myself and have to worry about litigation? Question4) or to put it another way, what is the relationship between trademark control institutions and name brokers? -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures caia.swin.edu.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM:bulwynkl2002 "And some run up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stones to pieces wi' hammers, like so many road makers run daft.

Running rbldnsd
Perhaps a bit off-topic, but since dynablock.easynet.nl's untimely demise, I have been running the dynablock zone in BIND. Works great, but takes a whopping 117MB! So, I tried using rbldnsd, which is about 10 times more memory-efficient (!). I created a zone, dynablock.my-domain.info, and added the zone-data, and start rbldns as follows: rbldnsd -u bind:bind -r /usr/rbldns -b 127.0.0.1 -P 53 -c 0 \ dynablock.my-domain.info:generic:zoneheader.dynablock.my-domain.info \ dynablock.my-domain.info:ip4set:dynablock.my-domain.info The "zoneheader.dynablock.my-domain.info" contains the following: $NS 86400 ns1.my-domain.info $SOA 1w ns1.my-domain.info admin.my-domain.info 0 2h 2h 1w 1h @ 86400 A 127.0.0.1 dsl-cable-dhcp-dialup.ip 86400 A 127.0.0.2 dsl-cable-dhcp-dialup.ip 86400 TXT Dynamic/Residential IP range Rbldsnd starts fine, without error, and says it loaded all zones: rbldnsd: ip4set:dynablock.my-domain.info: 20031123 174253: \ e32/24/16/8=372826/241350/1001/0 rbldnsd: generic:zoneheader.dynablock.my-domain.info: 20031123 183814: e=3 rbldnsd: version 0.96 (29 May 2003) started (listening on [127.0.0.1]:53) Yet, I cannot get any query to resolve on it: % nslookup 218.65.86.15.dynablock.my-domain.info *** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Query refused I guess I misconfigured the "zoneheader" somehow.

POLA violation?: snmp renumbering stuff
For some reason, my locally installed snmp daemons decided to renumber the elements in the hrStorageTable, meaning all the attached disks were being either misreported or just plain dropped from my graphs (paulbeard.no-ip.org/mrtg/blue/index.html). Not that the new numbering doesn't make sense but I didn't know this was going to happen. How to discover and fix it? snmptable is my friend. As shown here, the memory used by the kernel is listed first, followed by the disks. The disks were numbered starting at 1 before . . . . .

Novice needs advice building new kernel: UPG 4.7-RELEASE ---> 4.9-RELEASE
Thanks in advance for the expert assistance: I'm *halfway* knowledgeable with my 4.7-RELEASE system. Built it on a 486/66 (16MB RAM) about a year ago. It's time to upgrade to 4.9-RELEASE. Here's what I've got so far: 1. Set the options in sysinstall to retrieve 4.9-RELEASE instead of 4.7-RELEASE 2. Used sysinstall to download the 4.9-RELEASE data via FTP 3. Tried to rebuild the kernel with the "first" process as documented 4. All steps proceed without error 5. Kernel size after last step is 0KB, so reboot fails. Fallback to kernel.old 6. GENERIC kernel installed with 4.9-RELEASE is kinda iffy - had to address several issues with 4.7 GENERIC to arrive at the kernel conf I am happy with under 4.7 7. Ran through kernel conf again to confirm no new gotchas and all required deviations for my setup were followed. Nothing looks fishy. Then: 1. Tried "second" procedure as documented 2. Failure at some point I don't recall due to physical memory or swap size How/why is this kernel ending up 0-sized with no error message? I played with the kernel protection as documented in the troubleshooting sections. Everything seems normal. Must I set kern_security level < 0 before I begin? Or should I lean on the "second" process to make it work? The problem there being that I do not have a kernel that allows me to increase swap by creating a swap file >:( Any help would be appreciated.

Boot manager clarification
Hi folks, I have 2 hard disks, each on their own channel. I have XOSL installed as my boot manager, in Drive 1, Partition 1. I have Windows 2000-Pro on Drive 1, Partition 2. I want to install FreeBSD 5.0 on Drive 2, but use XOSL to load it. Should I install FreeBSD using the "Standard" MBR option, or should I use the "BootMgr" option? I *think* I would want to use the standard, because it seems like the BootMgr option would install in the MBR of Disk 1 and NOT Disk 2, thereby goofing up XOSL (which is what I'm trying to avoid!).

Did I understand the situation right - the drive worked in 4.7 machine but the problem occurred when you moved it to the 4.9 machine? The above fstab entry doesn't look quite correct to me.

Shaun Alcaster (ECI Support) wrote: > We have a lease line directly connected to out internet survice provider. > Both have 56k lease line modems, but can only connect at about 33.3Kbs how > do we change this. Most likely the problem is with your phone lines, not FreeBSD or your ISP. I work at an ISP. I can connect at 48,000 bps with my FreeBSD laptop from downtown - at work. If I take my laptop home, I can only connect at 24,600 bps. My house is on the outskirts of town and I think we have more than our fair share of analog to digital conversions between my house and the central office. Same story with my Win98 box. But FreeBSD with my PCMCIA hardware modem actually transfers data faster than my win98 box w/software modem. If you really want to connect at 56k or higher, you generally have three options: 1.) ISDN. Full digital line ensures 64k connection speeds, and dual channels with bonding means that you can get a 128k connection. Usually you won't spend too much more for ISDN than you would for dual 56k connections, but since ISDN actually connects at 64k, it'll be a lot faster. 2.) DSL. If available, it's always on, and generally the same price or cheaper than ISDN. Just make sure you get a DSL router with an ethernet jack instead of a USB DSL "modem". AFAIK, DSL dongles aren't supported by FreeBSD. 3.) Partial or Full T1. Absolute fastest connection of the three, but also the most expensive. This is total overkill for most small businesses. Hope that helps. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

It would appear that it does indeed use .today and .yesterday.

Interesting, but the results were not conclusive.

The malicious code was in /usr/src/bin/sh/exec.c:shellexec() Additionally, cvsup (and perhaps other programs) must have been corrupt too, because code in /usr/src/bin/sh was never updated.

The point that /mnt should be left alone is pretty clear, but I'm glad to be able to say "Folks on the FreeBSD questions list agree."

In the current version of the standard (2.2), nothing. But in the next revision, /foo/cdrom will be a symlink to /foo/cdrom0, and /foo/cdrom1 won't have a link. Managing these links is not the scope of the standard (yet). The priority for the next revision is to define what "/foo" should be. > Human-readable names also run the risk of two removable devices having > the same name; people are happy seeing a list containing duplicate > names (eg, particularly if one name has a CDROM icon next to it, and > the other has a floppy or USB pen icon :-), but that doesn't tell you > what to do with your filesystem hierarchy layout.

As for who should follow it, Linux distributions (Debian, Red Hat, SuSE) as well as the *BSDs (though I'm not sure exaclty what that means in the BSD world). What would be gained is more for application support. Basically, xmms and xcdroast could configure a /foo/cdrom as a default location, and it will be correct for all FHS-compliant systems.
