enabling S.M.A.R.T on drives attached to Adaptec 2400A RAID controller
In my server I have four 40GB IBM Deskstar 120GXP drives attached to an Adaptec 2400A RAID controller in a RAID-5 configuration with one of the drives configured as a hot spare. According to Adaptec's raidutil utility the four drives do not have the S.M.A.R.T. capability for detecting potential problems. However according to the IBM/Hitachi datasheet for these drive they _do_ have this capability: http://ssddom01.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/E0B26749E1A7728C87256B290055ECA5/$file/D120GXP_ds.PDF Is there a way to convince the 2400A that these drives do support S.M.A.R.T, and if so how do I enable it?

I think that perhaps the problem arises from when the apache2.sh script is run. I'm guessing that the 'Seeding PRNG' line is significant -- it aparently means that there is no random data yet available from /dev/random at the point when apache is started up in the boot sequence. As you're running 4.9, that can be cured by telling the system to use some appropriate IRQs as sources of randomness. First run: % vmstat -i and look for the IRQs where there are a lot of interrupts generated. Not the 'clk' or 'rtc' interrupts, as those are clock ticks, firing at regular intervals, which is worse than useless as a source of randomness. I find that irq12 (psm0 -- the mouse), irq1 (atkbd0 -- the keyboard), irq11 (mux -- multiplex: but this is network activity mostly) and irq15 (mux -- multiplex again, but disk activity mostly) work well for me, but you will have to choose 2 or 3 or 4 suitable IRQs on your own system to harvest for randomness. Then add them to /etc/rc.conf rand_irqs=1 11 12 15 Then reboot. (See rndcontrol(8) for more details) With luck, and a following wind, there will be sufficient system activity during startup that there will be sufficient random data available to prime the PRNG used by OpenSSL, which should let apache start up automatically.

Re: internet via USB: how to use with FreeBSD?
Rob wrote: I actually wonder, whether I should put a LAN card in the FreeBSD system and connect that directly with the modem via a RJ45 cable, and leave the USB adaptor out of the story. But would that work? As a rule, it's a lot easier to use ethernet than usb with a FreeBSD (or Linux) gateway. You'll probably need to tell your network card to use dhcp, and you might need to turn off the cable modem for a few minutes when you change over the connection. If you ever need to change the network card or gateway computer (and hence the network card), you'll probably have to turn off the modem for a few minutes again, so the ISP can register the new MAC address of the card when the modem reboots.

But each reboot is a real pain I don't know why the system loading is blocking on Starting sshd Actually the 'Starting sshd' message indicates that sshd started up perfectly well, and it the next thing that the system is trying to start which is giving you problems. On my system the next thing happens to be sendmail(8), and that has been known to cause this sort of hang-up. sendmail(8) will spend a lot of effort trying to get the IP number and fully qualified domain names for all interfaces present on the system when it starts up. Which means that information has to be in the DNS (preferably) or in /etc/hosts. If you check the /var/log/messages log file you should see entries where sendmail complains about not being able to do that -- the long delay is actually sendmail waiting out the DNS timeout (30s per query -- doesn't sound like much, but it feels like forever). Now, given that what I've guessed is correct: you may be using a system on a private network -- eg. behind a NAT gateway -- and you may not have any sort of domain name setup, just bare hostnames. In which case, just invent a domain part -- say 'localdomain' and make sure there's an entry for 'hostname.localdomain' in /etc/hosts.

Specifically, all that additionally happens with startssl is that SSL flag is defined, such that IfDefine SSL blocks will be evaluted. Note that with the default ssl.conf, this is where SSLSessionCache, and SSLRandomSeed are defined (among other things).

[OT] Porting help / cdio.h.
Hi, I'm attempting to port some software (MythTV) to FreeBSD. My knowledge of this is fairly limited and I'm wondering how to convert from linux/cdrom.h to sys/cdio.h. I see I can determine the capabilities of the drive quite easily. However, what I want is to (for example) lock/unlock the tray. The CDDOLOCK define is merely a Boolean value that tells me the drive's capability. Can anybody please tell me how I go about actually locking the tray?

Inact v. Free Memory
I have a quick question regarding the differences between Inactive and Free memory. Context: I'm running 4.9 stable as a desktop machine. Right after a fresh reboot most of the system memory shows up as Free (using top). Then, after a few hours of work... running X, web browsers, and the like, most appears in Inact. My question is... after I shut down all programs, ctrl alt backspace X, and get back to a terminal, why does top still show all the memory just freed by my desktop programs as inactive? Please see my attached top_output.txt. You'll notice that after adding up all the memory in the programs that are still running, the total doesn't come close to reaching 308M Inact.

Re: Install world fails, computer almost unusable
IMHO the upgrade pricedure is unstable and wrong in either case. If you build, install a new kernel and reboot and they make installworld you may face code dumps because all world is not compatible with the new kernel. if yo build, install a new kernel and install world w/o reboot then during installworld one program is substituted with a new one which uses new kernel and make installworld may fail. IMHO this thing must be resolved in the future and it would be nice to do it this way: 1) build kernel and install it into a buffer 2) build workld and install it into a buffer 3) make changes to config files and install new config file into a buffer 4) reboot 5) during reboot load shoud check the install buffer and if there is something in it then copy it into a real working filesystem. This way we will abvoid nonmtaching executables and kernel at any given time.

Not at my machine. IMHO this thing must be resolved in the future and it would be nice to do it this way: 1) build kernel and install it into a buffer /boot will be fine for me (like it does now) 2) build workld and install it into a buffer That requires that you have a lot of diskspace, so some users can have issues with this, and then again in my opinion there is no problem, and if there is a problem this won't solve it. 3) make changes to config files and install new config file into a buffer install kernel, reboot, make buildworld, reboot in singleusermode make installworld, mergemaster -p , reboot, mergemaster. does the same imho. 4) reboot we already done that 5) during reboot load shoud check the install buffer and if there is something in it then copy it into a real working filesystem. This way we will abvoid nonmtaching executables and kernel at any given time. What do you think?

Q=will this format all older partitions (/usr,/...), forcing me to reinstall FreeBSD again? Clearly I don't want this. I have spent quite a while to get the setup running. Don't use /stand/sysinstall to do this: use disklabel(8) [if you're running 4.x] or bsdlabel(8) [if you're running 5.x]. Run whichever of those commands with the '-e' flag, and it will put you in an editor window with the partition table data that you can modify to your hearts content. Remember to unmount any partitions you're going to modify before starting. Any partition you create, or change the size of will need a new filesystem created on it (newfs(8)) and will end up empty. The partitions you don't modify will be left alone. However, this question is academic given that you need more partitions than you can have in a single slice. 2. create links to /home/u01 from /u01, /home/u02 from /u02.. ln -s /home/u01 /u01 Can I install Oracle this way? Sounds like a plan. It's certainly worth trying. If Oracle insists on having real filesystems then there's several other possibilities you might want to consider: * mount_null(8) -- you can create a loopback mount of some other directory on your filesystem. Despite the awful warnings in the man page, this actually works fairly well although it would be safer to use it for data that is mostly read-only. * vnconfig(8) [4.x] or mdconfig(8) [5.x] -- Create a filesystem image on a vnode device backed by a file, and mount that wherever you need to.

problems with Mutt and esmtp
I'm having a problem getting the Mutt and esmtp programs to work together. What happens is that when I run Mutt and hit send, Mutt will just hang forever displaying its Sending message... message. I think that it might be something to do with the sending of the control character signalling the end of message, but I don't know for sure. I'm running FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE (rebuilt this past weekend), esmtp-0.5.0_1, and mutt-1.4.2.1, which are the most recent of things. I've simplified the config files for each program down for testing, and these are the only contents of both files (and there are no system-level config files for either in /usr/local/etc, this is it): -~/.esmtp identity = [EMAIL PROTECTED] hostname = localhost:2525 preconnect = ssh -f -C -L 2525:rossbeyer.net:25 rossbeyer.net 'sleep 5' -~/.esmtp -~/.mutt/muttrc-- set envelope_from=yes set from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/esmtp -v -X esmtp.log -~/.mutt/muttrc-- Additionally, I use ssh-agent, so no login/password is needed for authorization to my remote mailserver, rossbeyer.net. I find that when I hit send, Mutt has successfully called esmtp (as esmtp created its logfile, but hasn't written anything to it), and that esmtp has properly created the ssh tunnel. However, after that nothing happens until I eventually get fed up and kill the mutt process. I find that if I run /usr/local/bin/esmtp -v -X esmtp.log -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the command line, I get similar results before I start typing, everything is set up, but waiting for user input. Naturally doing this allows you to type a message, hit control-D, then the process finishes, and I get a very rough e-mail delivered to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] account, so esmtp is working properly to some degree. So I wonder if Mutt isn't talking to esmtp in the right way or esmtp isn't listening in the right way? More testing seems to confirm this. I wrote a little Perl program to put in place for the set sendmail= line in ~/.mutt/muttrc that simply captured the command line arguments and STDIN, and wrote them to a file. Then, on the command line I fed those same command line arguments to esmtp and redirected (with '') the contents of the message file I had captured from Mutt, and then everything worked just fine. I wasn't expecting that to work, so I'm kind of even more confused. So I tried not using a tunnel, and just using esmtp for local delivery via procmail, and the results are identical. Clearly esmtp is running, it has created an empty log file, but Mutt is just sitting there saying Sending message I can't help but wonder if the message hasn't been sent but the correct termination character isn't being sent or received properly. When I comment out the set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/esmtp -v -X esmtp.log line in the ~/.mutt/muttrc, the mail gets delivered locally no problem, so Mutt is working (and certainly I use Mutt on other systems to happily send and receive mail). The problem is definitely where esmtp and Mutt communicate, as both seem to work fine independently. Have I missed a configuration variable either in esmtp or in Mutt that is causing this problem? I searched around the net and the FreeBSD mail lists and couldn't find anything relevant to this problem, so I'm thinking that maybe I've screwed something up since everyone else seems to be having no trouble. I also contacted the esmtp author, Jose Fonseca, and he isn't aware of this problem, and says that everything works fine for him. Is it something particular to FreeBSD? Any help you can give me would be great, as I'm looking forward to using esmtp and Mutt together.

any unusual inode problems with 4.9-RELEASE?
For the past few days I'm seeing serious inode problems on my 40G drive. Has anybody seen unusual troubles with inodes on FreeBSD-4.9-RELEASE? If not, maybe I'd better get a second drive and dd over?

Internet 2
Hi everyone, I bring an old post again because I have now more information to give this. My post was this one : I just setup a freebsd box with the 5.1 release to be a gateway/firewall. The installation was smooth and to setup the gateway/firewall with nat a lot of sources are available on Internet. Here is my problem, I can't connect to Internet from the Freebsd box. I have DSL and my ISP is ATT, I have a static IP wich means I don't need to run PPP to connect. FreeBSD Internet NIC is : 12.103.21.x When I type ifconfig my NIC looks fine, up and running : rl0 : 12.103.21.x For information the freebsd box contains 2 NIC's one for Internet the other for the LAN (192.168.1.1) If I ping myself no problem everything's fine, but I can't ping a web address. I don't know if it is possible under unix but I use to ping www.yahoo.com for example to know if it's well connected. But the best proof is when I try to install samba my freebsd gives a time out reaching the samba server on the web I have setup a firewall_type=OPEN because i'm still testing but I also setup natd and gateway variables in the rc.conf file to what is needed up to majority of websites about firewall and gateways with Freebsd. I also rebuilt the kernel up to those websites wich was fine, and I created a natd.conf file. One more thing I think I didn't use the Domain variable when I set up the NIC from sysinstall don't know if it's important!

Dual p3 or single xeon for ipsec
Which do you think would be more effective as an IPSEC tunnel gateway? A dual p3 1.26ghz server or a single 2.6 ghz (800mhz fsb) Xeon? Things that would be common to both: FreeBSD 4.9 (maybe possibly 5.3 release when its officially out), SMP kernel on dual Intel 64bit dual gig-e 1000bTX nic RAM (up to 2GB if it'll make a difference) IDE drives (we're just pushin bits so I wouldn't think drives would be too important) What I'm most interested in is pushing the most bits possible between points A and B, which will be separated by the public internet. Encryption doesn't need to be insanely high. The files being pushed aren't sensitive and user/pass info won't be exchanged via plaintext. I noticed the Intel gig-e server nics have encryption offloading (sticker on the last box I got). Anyone know how effective? I can't seem to find info about it on their site. One more question related to this, and I apologize if this is dumb or poorly worded... Can I use jumbo frames on the public side of the gateways? My understanding is that everything between would need to be able to deal with jumbo frames and I don't know the answer to that. Again, this may be a weird question, but can the gateway store up a few frames from its internal side and send it as 1 jumbo frame out the public side? Does that question even make sense? And, last question, anyone played with the pci-x stuff? If that's all its cracked up to be, it somewhat makes this email moot. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
configuring freebsd dhcp server/router to listen on device
Hello, Im trying to move away from my linksys wireless router and move onto an old Pentium 200 Mhz I have. It will be the gateway between my modem and my network. I installed isc-dhcp3 on the box and took the sample dhcp.conf file in the freebsd handbook. I edited this file to suite my needs but I did not see any mention of how to configure dhcpd to listen on a specified device. I searched through freebsd-questions and on google but it turned up nothing. Also I have the book The Complete FreeBSD 4th edition, but it does not mention how to do this configuration either. When I start dhcpd it complains that its not listening on any devices. Basically I just want to know how to set it to listen to my 2nd ethernet card xl0. Thanks in advance for the help.

RE: Internet 2
Well I don't know where you get your info from, but all the members of my local FBSD club who use ATT DSL have to use pppoe and dhclient to connect their FBSD boxes to get working connection. ATT assigns static ip address to DSL dummy modem and MS/XP does it's own internal thing to get ppp connection. All the symptoms stated by Razor seem to indicate your assumption is wrong by miles. He can not reach public internet because he has no connection. Adding hard coded ifconfig statements to rc.conf will not change that fact or how his DSL modem is working. And besides nobody picked up on his hostname= is wrong also, has to be FQDN. Razor, first thing you do on new virgin install is to ping to public internet site like Freebsd.org to verify you have internet connection before you start adding firewall or ports. Your second mistake was to install 5.x which is intended for users who can debug kernel code. You are in way over your head. All the 5.x releases are full of development bugs and you are experienced enough to debug them. If I was you I would blow away the FBSD system you have installed and re-stall using the 4.9 stable production version.
