Re: rsh and rcp problems between Solaris and FreeBSD
On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 11:42:41PM -0500, John Von Essen wrote: 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. Now that is weird. 30-60 second delay sounds like classic DNS breakage, but in that case you'ld see it the first time you connected and probably subsequent times. How are you doing name resolution on this system -- host files, NIS, DNS, something else? Are you using Kerberos at all? Does toggling the use of the '-D' and '-n' flags in inetd.conf on the FreeBSD side make any difference? Hmmm... does this happen all of the time, or do you get a grace period of a few minutes immediately after rebooting the FreeBSD box? Are you perhaps ending up with an awful lot of connections sitting in CLOSE_WAIT stage on the FBSD box? 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! Does saying: # rcp -r /tmp/test host:/tmp/ (note the trailing '/') make a difference? This is by analogy to cp(1) where trailing slashes do have a similar sort of effect -- I think that's a feature of BSD-ish Unices but not SysV-ish flavours. Anyone have any ideas? If I can't get this resolved I am going to have to go back to the old SUN to SUN setup and scrap the FreeBSD machine. rcp(1) and rsh(1) are really considered as legacy stuff on FreeBSD nowadays. Most people will strongly advise you to use ssh(1) and scp(1) instead -- those are standard on Solaris 9 but you'll have to compile yourself up a copy on Solaris 2.6. You can use key based authentication with ssh-agent(1) in order to avoid having to put in passwords all the time: see the SSH FAQ at http://www.snailbook.com/faq/no-passphrase.auto.html Note too that sshd(8) under FreeBSD disallows root access by default, but there's a pretty obvious control in the /etc/ssh/sshd.conf config file.

fun routing problem
Well, I got this fun routing problem again; so here it goes. I have a router, which gets native ipv6 on xl0 with block 2001:a6x:2:1x::/64 and she has also lan-interface. My idea was to route 2001:a6x:2:1x:dead::/96 to lan interface so i thought doing as follows; added 2001:a6x:2:1x::3/64 to lan-interface, then routed 2001:a6x:2:1x:dead::/96 to it. Now the fun comes in, xl0 pings net fine, lan interface pings xl0 fine, but lan interface wont ping net. tcpdump says like this: 13:13:32.755545 2001:a6x:2:1x::1337 2001:a6x:2:1x::: icmp6: echo request 13:13:32.764543 2001:a6x:2:1x:220:48ff:fe5b:2d15 ff02::1:ff00:1337: icmp6: neighbor sol: who has 2001:a6x:2:1x::1337 no answer. so gw-router is like hmm. who the fck has this address. then asks it with multicast or similar thing (ff02-thing) but wont get reply? Why lan-if wont get that multicast-whateveritis request while it is on same net but different interface? all forwarding sysctls are 1. no firewalls harrassing or anything.

I don't understand make world
All, I followed the directions in the handbook and on various websites and google searches to get my 5.0-RELEASE box up to -CURRENT (though uname reports 5.2-RC, or does it just report wahtever CURRENT is?). Anyways, I did the whole make buildworld make installworld stuff with the new kernel and cvsup'ing and all, just like the handbook says, but pkg_version -l \ reports over 130 packages that aren't up to date. When I was running mergemaster I accidentally skipped master.passwd and lost some info. Yes, my bad for not backing it up. So it broke gdm (no user/group) and rather than figure out what the correct user/group info was I decided to just deinstall/reinstall the port and let it do it in case I messed up anything else in /etc with mergemaster. Well, it didn't want to be reinstalled. Neither did gnome. I ran into all kinds of dependancies on other packages (I though ports system took care of this?) with out of date versions. gnome led me to xft which led me to X-4-libraries, which led me to imake - all out of date old port type errors. I can't even portupgrade anything. What did I do wrong? Or maybe, what am I assuming incorrectly? I thought rebuilding world would upgrade everything. I assume then that portupgrade is for keeping up to date (I've run it successfully on other machines). What then is the whole make world process for? This was just on a machine to play around with the whole make world thing since I've only ever cvsup'd my machines, so I can easily just start over. I'm assuming there's a way out from here, but I also want to know how to do it correctly if I do start over and what I should really be doing to stay -CURRENT.

AccelRAID 250 won't boot FreeBSD
Hello, I have an AccelRAID 250 (mylex DAC960PTL) I had 4.9 release running a couple of weeks ago but the install must have been a lucky alignment of the planets. Currently, on new install I get F1 hang on the boot manager or just hangs without. The problem arose when I did a new install of 5.1 release over the 4.9 and the install wouldn't boot. I then reinstalled 4.9 and that wouldn't boot. I went back and forth a couple times to no avail. I then low level fomatted the drives and reinitialized them but again to no avail. I read the suggestion to install linux which changes the drive geometry (which it did) but still no luck. I've tried setting the active partition during the install by letting the install commit to fdisk and succesfully writing to fdisk manually and on all occassions a return to fdisk shows the partition not active. I feel like the fdisk is writing to a ramdisk and not commiting it to the boot sector on exit as all the rest of the install appears to be on the drive. (on reinstall the prompt comes up commiting to existing root). Anyone have any knowledge on this? I've additionally tried the live CD and the mini cd with the same results. Are there any bootable floppy sets to bring up a generic kernal that doesn't bring up the install routine? Is there a method to correct the boot loader manually?

RE: ports package names changing?
Your missing the whole point. The FBSD handbook says to use http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html to find port and package names and it only shows the names with versions suffix appended to the names. Pkg_add -r points to directory location with out names with versions suffix appended. From user view point, pkg_add -r does not work because user is entering name with version suffix appended as they are led to believe is the correct name as instructed by the FBSD handbook. The user doesn't know about or cares about what 'Latest' contains. All they know is, they can not get pkg_add to work as instructed by the handbook. That's the big problem. The 'Latest' category needs to be populated with names having the version suffix appended. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kris Kennaway Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 12:30 AM To: fbsd_user Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ORG; Kris Kennaway Subject: Re: ports package names changing?

I know I can ping the print server, and I know I've got the right IP address as this printer server has a built-in webpage for configuration. Also, it has the capability of configuration via tftp. Out of the box you type a # arp -s new ip for print server print server MAC address # tftp ps IP get config.txt You fill in the appropriate fields for configuration, and put the config.txt file back on the print server with # tftp ps IP put config.txt So, really this is a pretty advanced little monster. I _can_ print from the windows boxes, as they're using the lpr system as well. I set them up this way so I could be sure that the lpr/lpd settings on this devil worked. As far as the apsfilter test page, it works via parallel connection, but I cannot print it to the printer via the nework.

Bochs is quite capable of booting just about anything. The nice thing about it is you can 'edit' the CPU and have it print out what it's doing for hard-to-debug stuff. Just put your CD in your /dev/cdrom drive, then put these lines in .bochsrc ata0-slave: type=cdrom, path=/dev/cdrom, status=inserted boot: cdrom Or you could put the image in a file and use that filename instead of /dev/cdrom Mike -131390817619945514032107252833 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=send_att1; filename= Content-Type: application/octet-stream -131390817619945514032107252833 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: rsh and rcp problems between Solaris and FreeBSD
I can do two rsh's back to back with no problems, its the third (and 4th and so on) that hang. On the FreeBSD side, after the first rsh, netstat shows: tcp4 0 0 mx100.851 embryo.bluebell..1021 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 mx100.shellembryo.bluebell..1022 TIME_WAIT Those connections stay around for awhile, about 30 seconds. Only when they disappear does the next rsh work. As for the rcp, I was missing a trailing slash, apparently rcp -r syntax between Solaris and FreeBSD is a little different. So the rcp's work, but that take just as long as the rsh calls. As for name resolution, the Solaris box uses dns, and so does FreeBSD. Both have some entries in the hosts file. -John On Wed, 31 Dec 2003, Matthew Seaman wrote: On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 11:42:41PM -0500, John Von Essen wrote: I have a Solaris 2.6 box that has been sending data to a Solaris 8 box via rsh and rcp.

That is totally up to you. If you plan to do it on one of your FreeBSD machines I believe you will need to have two NICs. At least that I believe is the easiest way to do it.

You very likely should be able to find previous posts and/or tutorials online with how to setup either one, IPFW or PF. I do recommend though you get yourself a good book on security so you understand all the parameters and options you are going to need to deal with. Take a look at /etc/rc.firewall.

SanDisk CompactFlash card reader problem
I'm having some strange problems with my SanDisk CompactFlash reader. In the past I had no problem simply inserting a CF card and mounting the device. The /etc/fstab entry has always been as follows: /dev/da0s1/sandiskmsdos rw,noauto 0 0 And all I had to do was mount /sandisk. The filesystem on the card is created by a Nikon CoolPix 885. The usual method of retrieving the pics was to simply move them from the CF card to my hard drive storage. This had the added benefits of preserving the actual date of the pic in the filesystem and removing them from the card. But it's not working anymore. I can't quite figure out why. When I try to mount it, I get the following: msdos: /dev/da0s1: Device not configured Nothing has changed that I can think of, but I am noticing the following in the system boot sequence: . . . uhci0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller port 0xcce0-0xccff irq 11 at device 7.2 on pci0 usb0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ugen0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2 . . .

Re: (2) rsh and rcp problems between Solaris and FreeBSD
One more thing. Apparently, if I do 'rsh -n host cmd' on the Solaris box, it no longer hangs, and I can do it back to back indefinitely. Say I do ten of them, 5 secs apart. I still see the following 10 times in netstat: tcp4 0 0 mx100.841 embryo.bluebell..1014 TIME_WAIT After 30 secs they go away. On Solaris 2.6, the -n to rsh is: -n Redirect the input of rsh to /dev/null. You sometimes need this option to avoid unfor- tunate interactions between rsh and the shell which invokes it. For example, if you are running rsh and invoke a rsh in the back- ground without redirecting its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no reads are posted by the remote command. The -n option will prevent this. This doesn't affect rcp, so those are still slow. The only other thing is that I am going through a firewall, from an internal network to a dmz. -John On Wed, 31 Dec 2003, Matthew Seaman wrote: On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 11:42:41PM -0500, John Von Essen wrote: I have a Solaris 2.6 box that has been sending data to a Solaris 8 box via rsh and rcp.

It runs SUID root (you can change this to SUID whatever you want by modifying the Install script if you're concerned about security) and lets you specify which devices users are allowed to mount/unmount, and whether to automatically eject on unmount.

Re: rsh and rcp problems between Solaris and FreeBSD
On Wed, Dec 31, 2003 at 10:08:03AM -0500, John Von Essen wrote:
I can do two rsh's back to back with no problems, its the third (and 4th
and so on) that hang.
On the FreeBSD side, after the first rsh, netstat shows:
tcp4 0 0 mx100.851 embryo.bluebell..1021
TIME_WAIT
tcp4 0 0 mx100.shellembryo.bluebell..1022
TIME_WAIT
Those connections stay around for awhile, about 30 seconds. Only when they
disappear does the next rsh work.
OK. Some progress. This rules out problems due to limitations in the
number of possible connections you can have open at any one time -- if
the limit is just two, then there would be a lot more things
complaining than just rcp(1). And you'ld have to try exceedingly hard
to get a FBSD system that limited.
Hmmm... What flags are you invoking inetd(8) with on the FreeBSD
side? Specifically are you using any of these (quoting from the
manual page):
-c maximum
Specify the default maximum number of simultaneous invocations of
each service; the default is unlimited. May be overridden on a
per-service basis with the max-child parameter.
-C rate
Specify the default maximum number of times a service can be
invoked from a single IP address in one minute; the default is
unlimited. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the
max-connections-per-ip-per-minute parameter.
-R rate
Specify the maximum number of times a service can be invoked in
one minute; the default is 256. A rate of 0 allows an unlimited
number of invocations.
-s maximum
Specify the default maximum number of simultaneous invocations of
each service from a single IP address; the default is unlimited.
May be overridden on a per-service basis with the max-child-per-
ip parameter.
The symptoms you describe could be caused eg. by running with '-s 2'
in the inetd flags (you're getting two socket connections per rsh or
rcp invocation because a second channel is opened to carry the stderr
from the invoked command, but that doesn't count towards inetd's
connection limits).
The default for all of these is unlimited (ie. inetd_flags=-wW) and
there aren't any per-service limits on the rsh (shell) service in the
default inetd.conf. I generally use:
inetd_flags=-wWl -R 1024 -c 128 -a ${hostname}
in my /etc/rc.conf on internet facing machines where I run inetd(8) --
if this is a purely internal machine (which it certainly should be if
you're using rsh(1) on it) then I wouldn't bother with any sort of
connection rate-limiting, at least for the time being.
Hmmm... As well -- what's the output of:
% sysctl net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack
You might try setting that to zero to turn off delayed ack. That's
where the system will wait for about a minute before sending an ACK in
order to try and coalesce it with a data packet. Usually that's a win
performance-wise. See tcp(4). There's also the RFC1644 support you
might want to try toggling: see ttcp(4) -- I'm unable to find any
definitive statement on the net about Solaris support for this, so no
idea if it will actually help or not.
As for the rcp, I was missing a trailing slash, apparently rcp -r syntax
between Solaris and FreeBSD is a little different. So the rcp's work, but
that take just as long as the rsh calls.
That's one problem down then. Good.
As for name resolution, the Solaris box uses dns, and so does FreeBSD.
Both have some entries in the hosts file.
That's good too. Rules out some more areas which could be causing the
trouble.

Matthew

I also, as of last crash, am going to backup /usr/src since restoring all of /etc only makes sense with matching sources. The one thing I have against trying to backup all of /usr/local is that something like PostgreSQL may cause the backup problems whereas the package solution will be a one time deal and will not affect production.

I can have the same files on my file server, laptop running win2k as well as my desktop running Linux/BSD. Very convenient especially with laptops when you can't be connected all the time.Very fast too (only transmit diffs) - rsync : typical rsync that will mirror the source to the destination - rsync-backup : it's based on rsync but you get the advantage of incremental backups so you can restore from a specific date.

Re: Backing up programs

I use unison to backup data from a remote machine to my local machine, - rsync : typical rsync that will mirror the source to the destination Why use both unison and rsync? Unison can do the same as rsync. Because it's one-way, so no worries about conflicts. I know I'm not supposed to change the destination files but I like to use a one-way backup solution. - rsync-backup : it's based on rsync but you get the advantage of incremental backups so you can restore from a specific date. You can also purge the backup by removing old stuff. Will look it up. I made two mistakes in my description. First the tool is call rdiff-backup (and not rsync-backup which also exists) : http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/index.html Secondly, for the OS, I also use rdiff-backup and not rsync so I have a fast, space efficient, incremental backup of the OS too ! PS: On the same web page you will also find a link to another tool call duplicity (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/duplicity.html). You can do remote backup but in that case the image can be stored on a remote FTP server and encrypted with GPG... sweet if you're planning to use the disk space of your ISP for backups!

Re: ports package names changing?

The FBSD handbook says to use http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html to find port and package names and it only shows the names with versions suffix appended to the names.

From user view point, pkg_add -r does not work because user is entering name with version suffix appended as they are led to believe is the correct name as instructed by the FBSD handbook. The user doesn't know about or cares about what 'Latest' contains. All they know is, they can not get pkg_add to work as instructed by the handbook. That's the big problem.

I'm not disagreeing, but the original post complained of something being wrong in some documentation. Yes, the idea of logging to / is bad at least for 2 reasons: filling up /, which is usually small and, in case of a crash, increasing the chances to have a trashed / In passing, I don't understand why any dns data are stored in subdirectories of /etc and not /var. But while this is important for the log files, the service directory just contains soft links, so no issues of disk space arise from a location in /. It seems to be more a matter of how you read hier(7). Most reference and tutorial pages for djbdns and other djb stuff like qmail assume a /service directory, rather than /var/service. I've always loved the explanation Portability. With /service, your program works the same way on every system: Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc. (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/faq/create.html#run); using this logic every program should install in his own directory in / Not entirely: daemontools has a broad application to other services that most programs lack. As a, sort of, replacement for inet.d it has a different status to, say, mozilla. One /service directory allows more than one daemon to run. I'm all for standardisation of file locations across unixen. There's just the small matter of agreeing what those standard locations should be. Using /var/service does seem more logical, but can be a source of confusion, especially if people are copying and pasting commands from online instructions, something the various references often suggest. Perhaps I should suggest to the maintainer adding a pkg-message saying that, by default, we're using /var/services ? Good idea, though there is already a mention of this issue in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample I think the djbdns and the qmail ports should create the service directory if it's not already there (in / or /var, whatever, so long as both ports agree) and the symlinks within it, with configure options for selecting a different location. That would help avoid a lot of confusion and mean the ports installed services that were actually capable of running after the make install without an unusual amount of tweaking, but I'll take this to the relevant list.

Tape backup solution? [OT]
Hello List, I have a question that's slightly off-topic, but not. I install high-end surveillance equipment for CCTV and such. I have a rather large client in Minneapolis who's using Dedicated Micros digital video recorders. The particular model we're using has a 500 GB hdd, but this client would like to archive images to tape for longer storage. As of now, we're only getting about 2 months of recording time. For off-site viewing, this unit can off-load images to a SCSI cd recorder. Does anyone suggest a tape backup device that would be SCSI and external, with a fairly high-capacity? I'm thinking around 50 GB?

Problem with loading another pci driver for the same card
Hello, everyone, If the kernel already has a pci driver for a pci card, how could I load another loadable driver for the same card? I wrote a Kernel module PCI driver for one pci card. After the kernel is up, it automatically identified the card, and load its driver. If I want to use my own driver, the driver can't be probed correctly. When you use 'kldload' to load a pci driver, I think the kernel only probe the card without driver loaded. So, my driver can never be loaded, since the kernel doesn't probe the pci card I want. Do you know how I could load my driver? The output from pciscan is in the following. I want to load a pci driver to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:31:0:class=0x060100 card=0x chip=0x248c8086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 I think the system only probe the cards with [EMAIL PROTECTED]. thank you very much.
