Re: MySQL error 2013
Hi Derrick Ryalls, you wrote. DR I have even tried firing up mysqld with --skip-grant-tables to no avail. DR Googling around, I see lots of reference to glibc issues, but I thought DR that only applied to Linux. I have tried mysql41-server port (fresh DR cvsup), mysql40, and a package mysql323, and they all have the same DR issue. That leads me to believe that the o/s has the issue, not mysql. DR Does anyone have a clue on what I need to check/upgrade? DR Current system: FreeBSD 4.9-RC #0: Tue Oct 7 Does your MySQL daemon crash (look at /var/db/mysql/*err) ?

Re: CURRENT: RAID1: use vinum(8) or motherboard support (VIA VT8237)?
Hi Burkard Meyendriesch, you wrote. BM Hi all, BM for my new -CURRENT box I have to decide wether to use BM vinum(8) or the on-board capabilities of my Asus K8V Deluxe BM motherboard for RAID1 mirroring. Which solution would you BM recommend? Personally, I've always found vinum to be a rather weird piece of software to work with, so I'd suggest you go for onboard RAID, but I0m not sure if VT8237 RAID1 is supported right now (however, atacontrol can also do RAID without any direct support for the chipset).

I'd say it's the other way round: write cache is dangerous with softupdates. Softupdates itself is certainly better than no softupdates, even if it takes a slight performance drop by disabling write cache. I think you should disable the write cache on the 3ware cache (not sure whether there actually is one, mine don't come with any RAM sockets) anyway as you'll lose all data in there in the event of a crash.

Re: C++ Memory Profiling/Debugging
Hi Lou, Thanks - I'll give it a spin. I read with some reservation on http://dmalloc.com/: Dmalloc is not as good with C++ as C because the dynamic memory routines in C++ are new() and delete() as opposed to malloc() and free(). Since new and delete are usually not used as functions but rather as x = new type, there is no easy way for dmalloc to pass in file and line information unfortunately. The `libdmallocxx.a' library provides the file `dmallocc.cc' which effectively redirects new to the more familiar malloc and delete to the more familiar free. I'll give it a go anyway. Wonder if there is a C++ friendly debug tool out there...

I'm looking for a tool like valgrind or purify. I grepped around in the ports directory and I found ElectricFence and mprof but these seem to be for C only (as they refer exclusively to malloc free). bohem-gc sounds like the kind of package I'm after - but I thought I ask in case anyone has better ideas... ? devel/dmalloc is pretty good. I'm using it with C on Solaris, but all you do is basically link its library into your process, set a few environment variables, and it will dump a complete list of statistics, based on the values of the environment variables. The most valuable statistic is the origin of every single memory allocation that is not freed. Simply track those made by your code (file name and line number of the malloc are given) and fix them. I found it MUCH easier to integrate and use than Efence or Purify. If your process dynamically allocates memory that isn't intended to be freed, like for internal structure allocation through the life of the process, you might include a routine that frees such pointers in your cleanup process. I have a number of things I have to clear that aren't intended to be freed during the life of the process, so I simply added them within a conditional precompiler block that only gets compiled when I'm building a memory debuggable version. You wouldn't believe the memory leaks I found in (someone else's) production code with this tool. HIGHLY recommended. Good luck.

Just make sure you build for 686. If that doesn't work, make it 586 (I think the PI qualifies as 686 but I'm not entirely sure). I think the extensions such as SSE etc are detected dynamically and shouldn't cause any problem. In all my years of messing with builds, I never run into this problem, so I guess it's pretty safe. Yes, both [my] machines define I686_CPU. Dynamically, as in at runtime? I think you're right, but I don't know for certain, either. This is exactly what I'm wondering about; the PII has only MMX, for instance, while the PIII has SSE and MMX2. I assume the world's codebase is CPU-agnostic within an architecture, but I really don't want to assume this; I'd rather know this. I have PII, Celeron, PIII and P4 in my environment. All these use I686_CPU in my kernel configs (I got rid of the other I[345]_CPU types. In /etc/make.conf I include CPUTYPE=p2 as the lowest common denominator if including a CPUTYPE flag. The resulting world kernel run fine on all the systems. The higher flags p3 and p4 still just use -march=pentiumpro, however for SSE you will need p3 or p4 as MACHINE_CPU does not include SSE for p2 level. Check out /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk for specifics. DJHJ /etc/defaults/make.conf doesn't mention KERNCONF; /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 DJHJ does. Since /usr/share/mk/sys.mk sucks in /etc/make.conf, that should DJHJ propogate KERNCONF to /usr/src/Makefile, right? You can also just supply it on the command line when doing your make runs. Yes, but this means individual commands for each machine's kernel, as opposed to one command for all machines (think issue command and go to bed, or even an `at` command). Are you stating definitively that what I saw in the makefile chain isn't what is really there? To your original question, yes. Just add a KERNCONF= line to /etc/make.conf. First entry should be the local machine kernel (to install) and any subsequent entries will also be built during 'make buildkernel' eg: KERNCONF= MARVIN RAIDER RAIDERI GENERIC make buildkernel builds all four. make installkernel installs MARVIN.

ISP dialing with callback
This topic seems to be an elder one, but nobody around couldn't help me. I need to setup ppp (user) to dial to my callback-ISP. Here're useful info: 1). IPS uses PAP authentification. 2). Phone number negotiation is unsupported, I need to send it. When using Windows ppp-dialer (really buggy), everything is OK, so that's not ISP problem. Direct connection authentification goes right, but no incoming call after that. I browsed my logs only strange thing I found is there was no phone number I should send (at least in the readable part, not in the packages sent).

It's the same with most RDBMS: because they go to great lengths to ensure the journal is in an ok state they need to know for sure that the data they wrote to it actually made it to disk. Since i found no word about disabling write cache in the FreeBSD handbook or in man tuning(7), i would really like to know, if this is just a rumour, or where does it come from?

Newbie here Matthew. Could you please explain how a proxy differs from a router? Or are they in many ways intersecting in their functionality? e.g. I've got a class c network in my office and recently learned how to use apache to reverse proxy a request so that http://my-ip-adr/fbsd becomes the same as http://fbsd, where the latter is mapped to the ip addr for my fbsd box on the lan by apache. (which btw is kind of cool) The point of having inetd(8) is that it provides is a mechanism so that you don't have to have umpty-dozen different small servers running all of the time and taking up your process space. I notice that mingetty runs ~ half a dozen instances on my box, waiting for console users that will never come since as a rule I do everything thru ssh on my windows workstation. And httpd, though I've cut the child process spec down on the apache conf since it's not needed. Of course the saved cycles aren't needed either in my current environment. :) Could httpd be set up to run via inetd instead of on its own? If so, is it not typically done this way because it is usually the biggie app on servers? Following that reasoning, if a server were primarily used for ftp would it make sense to remove ftpd from inetd's conf file and instead start it as a service, assuming that were possible?

In this case it seems the only thing needed for me to put this into a shell script is a way to not have to manually interrupt the nmap which seemed to want to keep trying, after sleeping for progressively longer periods of time. Unless there is a glitch to be worked around somehow on 192.168.0.8 (never in use on my network afaik) and that what happened here was not typical behavior. Ok, some basics beforehand: anytime some hosts wants to contact another host, it yells with some broadcast on the local collision segment (arp-request) that the Station, which has IP-address a.b.c.d. sprays the answer (the MAC-Address on the other station) back throughout the segment. This answer is cached by the OS for a short time, that for future use no unnecessary lookups have to be made. This means, that, if you hook up a station to a LAN, which did not participiated in any of the LAN traffic, the arp cache on that station is of course empty. One way to fill it, is by simply pinging all other hosts on that segment. like: #!/bin/sh ping 192.168.0.1 ping 192.168.0.2 . . . ping 192.168.0.254 nmap -sP does exactly the same above, but with less typing effort ;-) For each station that is up and running, you get a MAC address back, and therefore the arp cache is populated. It would be a nice utility for me to have and perhaps run off cron - i.e. to test each connection on my network and report back so I know on a steady basis that everything's up and running (or at least reachable). Yes, would be practicable. You should consider updating nmap, though...

There are different options in the config file for 5.2 and you would need to start with a new GENERIC to create your MYKERNEL. Beyond that, I don't have any ideas at this point.

Creative Extigy with FreeBSD 4.9?
I've got a 4.9 machine which I'd like to interface to my Creative Extigy external amp for playing MP3s and the like. For obvious reasons, I'd like to have that connection be digital. After some research, it looks like there are two choices: (1) SPDIF I've got an Asus P4C-800E mainboard with a built-in interface that dmesg reports as: pcm0: Intel ICH5 (82801EB) port 0xee80-0xeebf,0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebff400-0xf ebff4ff,0xfebff800-0xfebff9ff irq 5 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: Analog Devices AD1985 AC97 Codec The card has an SPDIF output, but I'm not sure how to get mplayer (or anything else) to actually use it. I've installed mplayer out of ports and from reading the not very clear documentation, it looks like -ac hwac3 should do the trick, but what I get when I try that is: == Forced audio codec: hwac3 *** Try to upgrade /users/ekr/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf *** If it still does not work, read DOCS/codecs.html! Cannot find codec for audio format 0x55. == (2) USB The Extigy has a USB plug in the front so I would think I could use uaudio, but it's even more unclear to me how that works. When I plugged it in, nothing interesting happened (i.e. nothing on the console or syslog suggesting that it even saw the device). usbd is running. Any suggestions here would be great!

Wrong Geometry Disk Problem (Seagate ST3200822A - 200 GB)
Hello all, I have a problem installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 onto a Seagate Barracuda ST3200822A - 200 GB ATA/100 Hard Drive. Being a bit gun shy from a previous geometry problem mis-install where I almost lost some serious data, I am reluctant to just try things until they work. So here goes ... Using the Seagate disk tool, I created a 120 GB NTFS partition and a 200 MB FAT16 partition. Installed Windows XP on the 120 GB part. I want to put FreeBSD on the remaining space (~80 GB). The Seagate HD utility states the following: LBA Sectors are 390,721,968. Standard 512 bytes per sector. XBIOS Physical (and HD Spec Sheet from manufacture) (what BSD FDISK Sees too). C16383 H16 S63 BIOS C24321 H255 S63 When the FreeBSD CD boots and enters sysinstall, I get the usual drive geometry error. I've extensively searched google for some sort of method to calculate the true drive geometry with little success. 1. Is the above BIOS info correct ?? 2. Ultimately, do I want the drive geometry to match up with the LBA sectors ?? 3. Can anyone point me towards something that correctly calculates any drive's TRUE geometry ??

Well I guess the card COULD still commit the data, however, who knows if it actually does it? And why is write cache only dangerous with softupdates, as you wrote above? IIRC softupdates relies on the assumption that when the softupdate changes return, they really ARE on the disk. It's the same with most RDBMS: because they go to great lengths to ensure the journal is in an ok state they need to know for sure that the data they wrote to it actually made it to disk. Since i found no word about disabling write cache in the FreeBSD handbook or in man tuning(7), i would really like to know, if this is just a rumour, or where does it come from? I can't say for sure, but I have little confidence in write caching anyhow. It changes semantics the system relies on, for one.

Re: Is inetd a proxy server?

Newbie here Matthew. Could you please explain how a proxy differs from a router? Or are they in many ways intersecting in their functionality? e.g. I've got a class c network in my office and recently learned how to use apache to reverse proxy a request so that http://my-ip-adr/fbsd becomes the same as http://fbsd, where the latter is mapped to the ip addr for my fbsd box on the lan by apache. (which btw is kind of cool) Sure. A router deals with network traffic at the IP level -- sometimes described as Layer 3 on the OSI 7 layer model. In plain English, the router doesn't care what's inside the packets: it just looks at the IP numbers in the headers and relays the packets appropriately. A router will work for all sorts of traffic -- HTTP, FTP, SSH, SMTP, whatever (unless you've deliberately added a packet filter) -- unlike a proxy, which works at the protocol level: thus you'll get an HTTP proxy or a FTP proxy or a SMTP relay or a DNS recursive server -- the names vary, but they all do proxy service. It's also common for proxies to cache previous traffic and reply out of cache instead of going all the way back to the originating server, but that's not a requirement. Sometimes the software used to implement a proxy is actually identical to the software you'ld use to implement the originating server -- as commonly seen with most MTAs and BIND and occasionally Apache HTTPD as you've done -- although specialised proxying software is more generally used for HTTP and FTP and the like. The point of having inetd(8) is that it provides is a mechanism so that you don't have to have umpty-dozen different small servers running all of the time and taking up your process space. I notice that mingetty runs ~ half a dozen instances on my box, waiting for console users that will never come since as a rule I do everything thru ssh on my windows workstation. And httpd, though I've cut the child process spec down on the apache conf since it's not needed. Of course the saved cycles aren't needed either in my current environment. :) getty(8) is pretty light weight, and it doesn't take much extra memory to run multiple copies of it. It's also the case that while you may not need to log in via the console during normal usage, when you do need console access then you generally need it very badly. Could httpd be set up to run via inetd instead of on its own? If so, is it not typically done this way because it is usually the biggie app on servers? Following that reasoning, if a server were primarily used for ftp would it make sense to remove ftpd from inetd's conf file and instead start it as a service, assuming that were possible? You can run apache 1.3.x through inetd -- see the 'ServerType' directive in httpd.conf: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#servertype As it says in bright red letters: Inetd mode is no longer recommended and does not always work properly. Avoid it if at all possible. ServerType no longer exists in apache 2.0.x. If you are running a busy FTP site, then yes, running a standalone FTP daemon would be a good idea. However, the server side configuration for most FTP daemons is a lot simpler than for Apache, so it's feasible to run ftpd out of inetd for much higher traffic than it would be for apache. Another common server where there's an option of running under inetd is Samba -- however I think the trend nowadays is to assume that the Samba daemons will run standalone.

My experience with ports btw is strictly limited to make build make install Ok, some basics beforehand: anytime some hosts wants to contact another host, it yells with some broadcast on the local collision segment (arp-request) that the Station, which has IP-address a.b.c.d. sprays the answer (the MAC-Address on the other station) back throughout the segment. This answer is cached by the OS for a short time, that for future use no unnecessary lookups have to be made. Ok. This means, that, if you hook up a station to a LAN, which did not participiated in any of the LAN traffic, the arp cache on that station is of course empty. So the arp cache doesn't have nodes on it which it hasn't had activity from for a time? This makes sense since I tend to work off my windows workstation which is also my gateway. One way to fill it, is by simply pinging all other hosts on that segment. Heh, heh. That's really how this started, except I found it to be too time consuming to do so. Maybe I'm getting far afield though. I think what I'm looking to do now is schedule an exec through cron which will check for whatever ip's/hostnames are on my network. Sounds like upgrading nmap to 3.50 will do it.

My experience with ports btw is strictly limited to make build make install Well, you need to update your ports skeleton (anything under /usr/ports) to an actual state. Whether you use cvsup, to poll from a cvsup server near you the latest updates, or you download a tarball from a ftp site near you. This tarball is about a bit more than 20 MB, so beware with a slow line, cvsup is normally preferred. Then you install portupgrade from the ports, and after that you do simply a: pkg_version -v to get a list of ports that need updating, then you simply do a: portupgrade name to have it updated... For using cvsup, there is a great section in the handbook, and in the archives there should be some looong threads about ist, so don't be frightened, its easier than it sounds...

You can do this the make search way or you can use a tool called portsearch that is located in /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/portsearch I copied it to a convenient location and then aliased it as alias search'portsearch -n $1'. Then if you search ^XFree86-4 you can see all of the dependancies. A number of ports are associated with XFree86 and have to be updated at the same time. All I see on a search for build-deps is freetype2 and imake but there have always been others. A portupgrade -Rrf XFree86 would rebuild all of the important ones, which includes all of the run-deps, and add any new ones that you need. It is handy to not be running X-Windows when you do this. You can remove all of XFree86 by pkg_delete -f 'XFree86*' but you also need to delete both imake's. You really have to reinstall everything that uses XFree86-libraries because it is a static library and you have to build all of the ports that refer to it. To do that, you just add -r to the pkg_delete command. All you need at that point is the time it takes to do the new installs. To rebuild XFree86 and all of the ports that use it can take quite a bit of time.

Our own production servers regularly reach 200 days and more. We update things

Jails help a lot of course. Not having external users with shell access also
helps.

The first time your modem is turned on, the factory-default profile is loaded into the 'active profile in non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The factory-default profile is stored in the modem's read-only-memory (ROM) and can not be changed. The factory-default profile contains standard settings which allow the majority of users to use their modem without every knowing about the Hayes standard. Modems are not factory configured to answer incoming calls by default, so you will have to manually create your own user profile, enable auto answer on first ring, save it to one of the user profiles in NVRAM, and tell the modem to use it on power up and reset as the default profile. Use 'tip' command to send Hayes commands to permanently configure the modem to answer incoming calls. Note: The Hayes modem commands are capital letters and the '0' is a zero. On the command line enter tip comX where X is the com port your modem is on. ATF0load the factory default profile0 into current profile. ATS0=1 tell current profile to answer on first ring. AT Enter AT command 10 times to train modem to 115200 speed ATW0write current profile to saved user profile0. ATY0tell modem to load user profile0 as default profile on power up. Use keyboard ~ key followed by . key to exit tip command. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kyryll A Mirnenko Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 11:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ISP dialing with callback This topic seems to be an elder one, but nobody around couldn't help me.

5.2 acpi hangs on PowerEdge 4350 usb controller - should I file an bug report?
When installing FreeBSD 5.2, booting with acpi enabled, the system hangs when it detects the server's usb controller. This server (PowerEdge 4350) has an Intel 440GX chipset with a usb host controller, but it does not have any usb ports. If I disable acpi, I can install fine. After compiling a new kernel with all usb support disabled, I can boot with acpi again. Even Windows detects the controller with an error (cannot start device) Should I fill out a bug report for this issue? Just wanted to check with the gurus first. Thanks!

Re: Wrong Geometry Disk Problem (Seagate ST3200822A - 200 GB)
Yes, I too have encountered the geometry bug a number of times on different machines, and for awhile it put me off to using FreeBSD. Then I discovered that if you just hit g during the partitioning process, it finds the correct geometry and you can continue with the installation. At least, this has worked for me. Nevertheless, I hope the bug will be fixed eventually. It certainly scares away potential FBSD users. regards, Robert On Sun, 22 Feb 2004 12:54:42 -0500 David Markle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I have a problem installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 onto a Seagate Barracuda ST3200822A - 200 GB ATA/100 Hard Drive.

Use this command only when you want to com- pletely delete the configuration. I'm completely baffled that people want to use this command so much. The correct sequence is to remove the drive, replace it with something else with a Vinum partition, and then start the defective objects. Just a guess (arm chair psychology of users), but I suspect it is because they are thinking that they need to re-setup their drive. Maybe deleteconfig would be a more self documenting flag.
