jdk14+tomcat5 crashing box
I am experiencing a reproducable system crash. If I access a tomcat application (or use the mod_jk connector) then stop the tomcat service then restart the tomcat service, the box will crash. I'm not terribly concerned over this as I am using this box as development - porting to tomcat5 - but I would be willing to assist anyone who wishes to delve into the problem with me. Any help would be appreciated. Thus far I have not been able to find any information in the system logs or anywhere else. I may need assistance on where to look. Just before the system crashes the console displays a brief message and reboots - I can't get the information and at this point I'm not willfully crashing the machine over and over.

I can't find it in the supported hardware list but there is a note that ISA cards are supported the same as the pccards. Being that Linksys makes a WPC11 I was hoping that the WMP11 was just a PCI version of the pccard version and the driver would work. I have installed the WMP11 and put pccard_enable=YES in rc.conf but the card is not recognized. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. While I can't answer the question directly, I can tell you that I've been struggling with this same card under 5.1 and 5.2-RC, and haven't found a solution. On a linux list, I found a note where someone said that LinkSys makes two very different cards, and calls both of them WMP11. (One is type 3 and one is type 4.) My guess is that only one of these is supported by FreeBSD (or linux, for that matter). Hopefully, someone on this list, or freebsd-mobile, where I'm copying this reply, will have a more authoritative answer. Steve I have a PCI card matching this description in one of my FreeBSD boxes right now. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have any useful version markings on it. Just a model number (WMP11), an FCC ID (PKW-WMP11), a Canada ID (3839104537A331) and a serial number. The board itself has MW251-1 REV:XA on it but I kind of doubt it has anything to do with the rev of the actual card itself. I have (blurry) pics (with my serial number greyed out) at http://www.raught.net/wmp11/ I have this working with 4.8 stable and am currently upgrading the machine to 4.9 stable. If you don't hear anything more, assume it works fine. (I don't see why it would quit working between 4.8 and 4.9) If I run into problems after upgrading I will post it to the lists. Background: I've had this card since 05/2002. It doesn't need any pccard stuff. It is detected with wi in the kernel. It is definitely a prism chipset with dmesg info as follows: wi0: Intersil Prism2.5 mem 0xfe9ff000-0xfe9f irq 9 at device 17.0 on pci0 wi0: 802.11 address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.05, Station 1.03.04 Real MAC address shows in place of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, but I deleted for security reasons.

RE: DHCP
Stanley You question is not clear on what your final goal is, But maybe I can read between the lines. It is very common to use an FBSD gateway box with an single public ip address to share internet access with work stations on the private LAN behind the gateway box. DHCP can be used in this setting to assign the private reserved ip address to the LAN workstations. To complete this setup you also need to run some kind of NAT (network address translation) between the private LAN ip address and the single public internet address. If you have phone dial in to your ISP using (user ppp) then just enable it's built in NAT function. If you have DSL or cable internet connection then you need to use the NAT function of one of the FBSD firewall applications. I recommend ipnat/IPFILTER as it's the easiest to configure. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stanley Chan Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 6:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DHCP Dear FreeBSD, I am running my DHCP server on the FreeBSD 4.8.

'Best' way of adding quoted string options to Makefile/pkgtools.conf?
I was trying to add the following type of option to a port's Makefile:
--option='space delimited list'
(that's how it was indicated it should be presented in the port's
installation notes).
Not knowing the correct way to achieve it as a combination of
Makefile/pkgtools.conf entries I ended up with the following:-
In the port's Makefile I added something of the form:
.if defined(VAR)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --option=${VAR}
.endif
and in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'category/portname' = [
'VAR=\'space delimited list\'',
],
}
and I am hoping to solicit the opinions of those more experienced in these
matters as to whether they consider that to be the 'optimal' solution since
it was arrived at on my part after a multitude of somewhat random
combinations of single and double quotes, double-single quotes and
backslash-escaped quotes in both the Makefile and pkgtools.conf (it took a
while because I was intent on trying to match the single quotes around the
option arguemnt as was shown in the installation notes).

Re: bridge - bridge box disappears from the network (even though it h as an ip assigned to one of the interfaces)

Re: Backup Server
man mysqldump and check out the man page for rsync at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rsyncapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-RELEASE+and+Portsformat=html you can dump the databases and use rsync on the single machine(client) to copy or pull the files/directories of your choosing from the servers to the client. Please look at the man page and look at the scripts for rsync that were given in this thread. It is quite easy to setup. After looking back at one of your other replies, You don't need to have rsync running as a daemon on any of the machines. You just need to have rsync installed on all. Rsync will basically tunnel through ssh (or rsh if you want) to do the transfers(or synchronizations). --- Matthew Juszczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not worried about down time.

Mail AddressGuard ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have had a bit of a look into this myself and this is my take on it. I would like to hear of other people experiences too. There are a number of things that you have to decide on first before you go any further. These are: budget how critical the system is to downtime how much data you are willing to lose how long are you willing to wait for the second system to kick in. These will determine how you are going to build your system. You will have to keep the answers in mind when you are looking at any solution. What you seem to be looking for is a failover system. There is a fair bit written about failover systems. Googling will find you lots. Make sure that you look up linux high availability and failover as well to get a broader view. I have added some links below. There is really 2 things that you are trying to do here. Provide redundancy for the services and redundancy for the data. The services are a bit easier and cheaper than the data. The big problem is the data, especially databases. Due to their nature they cant easily be copied while live. A solution to this is a SAN. With lots of money it is easier as you can buy yourself a SAN and hook the two machines to it and host the data on the SAN. With some clever scripts from those HA sites when one machine goes down the other can take over and use the same data. There are other solutions using a fancy Y shaped SCSI cable to a external drive array. Others my be able to help here as I dont know about them. The other alternative is 2 identical machines. When you have 2 machines with the master storing data on its local drives it gets tricker. This is where you have to decide on how much data you are willing to lose. As an example we have a bsd box that rsyncs our windows fileserver ever hour. Should windas go down we run a script on the workstations remapping our drives to the bsd box. In this case we are prepared to lose up to an hours work. We are also prepared to lose say 15-30 minutes of time mucking around. In your situation perhaps what you could do is upgrade to 5.1 and rsync snapshots of your data to the secondary machine. You could use the failover setup as described on HA sites to fire up the services on the secondary machine and take over. This should work as snapshots are supposed to capture an instant in time but I couldnt guarantee it until I tested it. You would still be losing data as you could only snapshot data and transfer it in discrete intervals. A handy thing that linux has that I dont think that freebsd has is drbd. This is a block device that can mirror data across a network. If freebsd had this it would be easy to make the second machine a true mirror of the first. I wonder if they are looking at a thing similar to this in the future.

Also, no BSD-based operating system should be dependent upon GPLed code. I'm glad to see that Jeroen and others are working on alternative toolchain components.

Need some advice for a mail setup...
Hello everyone and Happy Holidays. I was hoping to get some suggestions and advice here for a particular setup im designing. Here is what I want to do. I am going to use FreeBSD 4.9 as our Mail server. It will be running Postfix, courier-IMAP and a few other goodies. I also want to run webmail on this as well. My main question is the actual design for this. For instance, right now, our mail server for our company is in the private part of our network, and is only accessible to my LAN and the localhost. (NOTE: I have a mail gateway setup that checks all incoming email first, then passes it to the mail server) It has been working great so far. The trick is, how do I implement webmail with this particular setup? I do not want to open up a firewall rule and allow webmail access directly to my mail server that is on the private network. Thus, i've thought of two things, but im sure there are more options: 1) Setup and configure the mail server accordingly, and place it on our DMZ. 2) Setup webmail on the Mail gateway and have it access the internal mail server so users can view and send email. But I was hoping to get some further advice and recommendations here. I really do appreciate everyones help and insigt here.

Someone is sending you a lot of packets to port numbers where nothing is actually listening at such a rate that your kernel is limiting the rate at which it will respond.

Note: you want to 'drop' or 'deny' the packet, rather than 'reject' it. 'Drop' just chucks the packet in the bit-bucket and nothing more. 'Reject' sends back an ICMP message saying I can't hear you.

ZOT Print Server....
Hey all, I've been trying to get some remote pringing working to no avail. I purchased a ZOT print server (http://www.01tech.com/m_p100s.htm) that I have working with Windows perfectly. I also installed apsfilter (Great job on that, btw) and have the remote printer working on this end via parallel just fine. FWIW, it's a Brother HL-1440 laser printer. Anyone have any ideas on what I'm missing? This printer just doesn't respond at all when going over the network.

Exactly what are distfiles? I'm not a noobie to FreeBSD, relatively speaking. It's just that once I set something up on FreeBSD, it just sits there and works. I rarely have to muck around too much besides keeping the installed software up to date. Although, I'm working on moving my win98se printer over to FreeBSD. So, you may see me post again soon :).

On one machine that I don't use a lot of HD space, I mounted a 10 GB slice as /usr/ports. If you DO want to consolodate those partitions, you'll probably have to back them up using dump, delete both partitions, create the consolodated large partition, and then restore the backup. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ipf / pf
Hi, Here's a question that might seem trivial: What's the relationship between the freebsd ipf and the openbsd pf? Are they the same thing, or are they separately developed branches of a common codebase? Or maybe they are totally different. I ask this because I was looking around for guides for ipf.rules, and some of the openbsd pf examples look similar, but some command syntax are different. The openbsd pf.conf example had the ability to define variables of ip addresses, interface names, etc, but it doesn't seem to work with ipf.rules. Is there any way to define variables in ipf.rules? please cc me in your responses cause I'm not subscribed to the list thanks so much jonathan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem with heyu2 is that it only sends commands... it doesn't listen for signals from my remotes and such. For that, I used an app called 'xtend'. I was able to configure macros that I could trigger with a remote... xtend would receive the signal from the remote and then kick off a job for heyu2. A kludge, for sure... An integrated tool that could speak and listen would be yummy, but I know even less than you about C. I have actually been thinking about schooling myself in C just for this task.

I don't think there's really a limit on the number of files; I quite easily created 90k files in a directory with a shell script. The number of subdirectories in one directory is 32766, since the link count for a directory is stored as a signed 16-bit integer, and the parent directory will end up with 32767 links (one for itself, and 32766 to .. in each child directory).

rsh and rcp problems between Solaris and FreeBSD
I have a Solaris 2.6 box that has been sending data to a Solaris 8 box via rsh and rcp. I finally changed the Solaris 8 box to a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE machine. Unfortunately, I am noticing alot of problems with my rsh and rcp calls. Again, the rsh/rcp calls are being initiated on my Solaris 2.6 and are hitting a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE box. Here is what happens: My first rsh works, but if I try another rsh within a few seconds it takes a really long time (30 - 60 sec) to return - but it does return successful. If I issue my rsh calls every 2 minutes, it returns quick everytime. But if I do rsh calls to close together (5 sec delays) they hang for a long time. The rcp behaves the same way - but with an added oddity... I can't seem to 'rcp -r' directories. For example, say I have /tmp/test and in there I have three files (a, b, and c.). When I try to rcp -r that directory, I get the following: # rcp -r /tmp/test host:/tmp rcp: /tmp/test/a/b: Not a directory rcp: /tmp/test/a/b/c: Not a directory Very weird! Anyone have any ideas?
