Re: Increase max data segment size?
Yes there is, some more poking around in /usr/src/sys/kern/subr_param.c
brought to light :
maxdsiz = MAXDSIZ;
TUNABLE_QUAD_FETCH("kern.maxdsiz", &maxdsiz);
which looked suspicously like a kernel tunable for data segment size.
So setting kern.maxdsiz in /etc/loader.conf seems to be the thing to do...
Of course by this time I have managed to find some postings concerning
MAXDSIZ and kern.maxdsiz.
Hopefully the next person confused about this will find my postings
*before* dredging the code!

Fwd: Call For Assistance #4 - slapd won't die gracefully, multiple versions.
I've been having this issue with openldap for over a month now and they folks at openldap seem to think this may be a FreeBSD issue. Not sure if it's a general FreeBSD issue or an AMD64 issue so it's going to both. Can anyone have a look at this and tell me what they think?

Microsoft wireless mouse problem
I tried sending this to freebsd-hardware, but nobody replied, so I thought I would try here, as well. On one of my machines, I'm running FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT (last built on Jan 15th, 2004). I recently purchased a "Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop," which is a wireless setup with a PS/2 keyboard and a USB mouse (with a USB->PS/2 converter, if I need it). The system recognizes both the keyboard and mouse during boot (and the keyboard actually works right from the loader): ] ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\M-. 1.00, rev ] 2.00/73.73, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ] ums0: 5 buttons ] atkbdc0: port 0x64,0x60 irq 1 on acpi0 ] atkbd0: flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0 ] kbd0 at atkbd0 The system also correctly detects when the USB mouse is unplugged and plugged back in: ] ums0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected ] ums0: detached moused starts just fine (automatically) during the system boot, and XF86, using /dev/sysmouse, starts without complaining about anything. "XFree86 -config" detects the mouse as sysmouse, as well. Unfortunately, the mouse doesn't respond at all. On the console & in X, I get the mouse pointer in the center of the screen, but it doesn't respond to the movement of the mouse. When I plug in a regular, non-wireless USB mouse (an IntelliMouse Explorer, to be precise), it's detected as /dev/ums1 and works just fine both on the console (with moused running) and in X. ] ums1: Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM), rev ] 1.10/3.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1 ] ums1: 5 buttons and Z dir. So, I'm assuming my kernel & USB configurations are correct. I've tried killing moused and starting X using the ums0 device directly, but that didn't work either. Plugging the mouse cord on the wireless receiver into the PS/2 mouse port doesn't seem to have any effect on the matter -- the system detects a mouse on the psm0 port, but it still doesn't respond to movement. Has anybody else seen a similar problem? Any suggestions as to what to do next?

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you.

Install problems RE: bootloader
I have made the decision to move from Linux to FreeBSD as the OS for our web server and desktops because I am more comfortable with the FreeBSD philosopy. I have a small network in my office that consisted of several Linux boxes and one computer with Windows on hd0 and Linux on hd1. The install on the straight Linux boxes has gone without a hitch. The Windows/Linux Box is another story. During the install, it tells me that since I am installion FreeBSD on hd1, that I will have a chance to install the bootloader to hd0 at a later time. I have installed the OS twice and on both occasions I am never given an opportunity to install the boot loader. The OS will install without a problem, but when I reboot the machine, it hangs with GRUB being the last thing displayed on the moniter. What have I missed?

Re: Beginning C++ in FreeBSD
Why would one need C++ if it's converted to C anyway? C++ is useful for programmers that believe in object oriented methodologies. Some things are easier to do in C++ as well. It all depends on the programmer. You seem to favor assembly languages. I've found that many people into assembly never seem to get OO and therefore languages like C++ and Java make no sense to them. Assembly *can be* fast but its not portable. C was created to make unix portable. C++ was created to add OO features to C.

If you compile directly, then you can optimize much more because you can take advantage of the structure of the language. Two different languages always have different strengths and weak points.

ASM knowledge really doesn't help with the simple stuff. But later, when you need to debug a buffer overflow in a big complicated program, you'd be glad to have a basic idea of what the processor is doing. And if ASM is your very first language, you are less likely to become a sloppy and lazy coder. Besides that, I think ASM is the most logical thing in the world. There's almost nothing you really have to learn. Actually, that's not so true for assembly, but rather for the opcodes themselves. I have always wondered how one could remember what all these cryptical numbers stand for, until I recognized that I don't have to. There are just a few basic rules, and if you know them, you have already won the game. I think that's a lot simpler than remembering complex syntax rules with many exceptions, reserved words, includes, ... Just my $0.02.

4.9R - BTX HALTED problem - my solution
After reading an agonizing thread in freebsd-hackers from back in 2000 with no solution in layman's terms, this is how I got this to work. My system: Celeron 1.7Ghz MSI MS6526 v2 mobo (Intel arch, apparently this and/or the bios is the problem) WD 40GB HDD The problem: After doing a new cd install using the sysinstall menu's as I normally do this machine failed to boot. All I had to go on was a bunch of technical "garbage" and the message BTX HALTED. The solution: Boot with the install cd Select Standard Install In fdisk, as suggested in the freebsd-hackers thread, I tried altering the disk geometry to what my BIOS "sees". That has never worked for me. Nonetheless, I did try it. Fdisk just complains and reverts back to what fdisk "sees". Create one Slice or select "A" Select "F" for dd mode, select yes when prompted. Make the freebsd slice bootable with "S" Quit fdisk with "Q" At the Disklabel part of the install select "A" I didn't like the setup so I deleted all and recreated my scheme. Quit disklabel with "Q" When prompted for the boot manager I chose Standard (no boot manager) The install continued and viola, the box booted normally. Hopes this helps.

In the old days, C++ was implemented by a program called cfront, I believe, and it did convert C++ to C. If you can write a program that converts language X to C, then you get to take advantage of all the nifty optimizing C compilers out there. If you try to go the direct route to compiling into machine language, then you need to do the optimization part yourself. So converting into C as an intermediary language is an option that requires less work. GCC has a backend which can server as an intermediary language, I guess, but if you convert into C, then you aren't even wedded to GCC.

In your /etc/dhclient.conf you can use default/prepend statements, see
dhclient.conf (5)
You can rather finetune this, or have other ways:
When you have @home some kind of server, have him also playing DHCP with
assignment of gateway, dns etc.
when it comes to dns, then you could setup named with split forward.
So make sure that you have @home a different network than that from your
work.
Steps to do:
in /etc/namedb, run ./make-localhost after /etc/hosts is populated with
reasonable name for your box.
make sure that a recent named.root is available.
in named.conf:
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};
then comes the magic:
//Aufsetzen des split forward fuer intern
zone "0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders {
192.168.0.1;
};
};
zone "example.de" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders {
192.168.0.1;
};
};
Add forwarder statements where approp.
I use this setup in a production environment on a box running nagios for
monitoring several subnets, all VLAN with their own DNS in those
VLANS...
named will act as a caching nameserver only, when it comes to private
VLAN, it will use those other DNS, anything not in those forwarders
clauses will be resolved on his own, generating queries himself up to
the root Nameservers.
That would be the smart way of dealing with this, when you want, you
could add a default forwarders statement to the ns of your ISP @home...

I did a portupgrade -pufr glib to do the upgrade and had a few problems that I had to manually update. I understand from other comments that re-running the upgrade script makes the update go faster than a -rf glib. If you look at ports that you have installed that depend on glib, the list seems to go forever. I don't know if a -pufrR glib would have prevented the problems but that would have used even more computer time to do the update.

upgrading Gnome components using portupgrade
Hi guys, I have what I believe are Gnome components installed on my computer (gimp, Gconf, gtk, glib, etc). I'm running portupgrade now and I read the message that I should upgrade Gnome using the script provided by FreeBSD Gnome. The question is, if I only have parts of Gnome installed, while I'm using fluxbox as window manager, do I need to run the script? or is portupgrade fine? my portupgrade is currently still running and I don't seem to encounter any problem (yet).

I am not sure why this would be recommended. If you have enough disk, then just shrink the Win-98 slice to make room for another one and install FreeBSD on it. Then you can "dual boot" the machine - that is you can have both systems available and choose at boot time which to bring up. There are good directions in the FreeBSd documentation on how to dual boot a machine. It works well. I have three of them dual booted here in the office - with Win-95, Win2k, and XP along side the FreeBSD. The only real difficulty is that people often get confused by the terminology.FreeBSD divides a disk in up to 4 to slices that are designated 1,,4. Then each slice can be divided in to as many as 8 partitions designated a,,h. But, Microsoft calls those slices primary partitions. It can get a little more convuluted because MS has extra divisions it calls extended partitions, but they have no _direct_ analog in FreeBSD. So, documentation can be a little confusing.

Finally, when you have digested those sources as much as you can (admittedly, it is hard to absorb everything before you start and gain some experience), ask clarifying questions on this list or on the newbies list, etc. jerry > > Finally, you will most likely want to ask Thinkpad specific questions on > the `mobile' FreeBSD mailing list.

Identifying traffic logged by ipfw
I'm working on a new bridging firewall using ipfw on FBSD 5.1. The goal is to default to closed with a few exceptions. To test my ruleset, I end with this rule: add 420 allow log ip from any to any The idea is that by watching the logs I could see what protocols I forgot to create rules for. This is what I'm getting in the logs: Apr 16 16:43:40 bfw kernel: ipfw: 420 Accept MAC in via em2 I'm guessing this means it's matching non-ip traffic, but I couldn't find any info to confirm this. Is there any sort of trick I could use to log the entire packet? Since nothing about the source or destination was logged, I don't have enough info to create a tcpdump filter. Perhaps some sort of divert rule? Thanks! -Ben -- Ben Beuchler There is no spoon.

I would definitely recommend to start with assembly. It gives you a good understanding of the hardware, and every programming language you learn afterwards will be a piece of cake.

You can do it very easily with perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use POSIX (strftime);
($d = strftime("%z", localtime)) =~ s/(\d\d)(\d\d)/$1:$2/;
print "$d\n";
but it's probably a bit too heavyweight to use perl to format the
string if you aren't already writing a whole script in perl. Instead,
try:
date +%z | sed -e 's,\([0-9][0-9]\)\([0-9][0-9]\),\1:\2,'

Dan: Thanks for clearing that up.
If I may ask one more thing about the milter-sender:
The only feature I really wanted from the milter was the option to control
the number of connections for "unknown users". I get a lot of those --
dozens -- hundreds. I believe that is called the "Rumplestilkin" (sp?)
attack where a search is conducted for good emails on a system.
I have not yet seen this option available inside Sendmail and wonder if
there is one out there yet...?? -- without having to install the milter?

mod_perl installation and non-standard perl path
For reasons I don't want to trouble you with, I had to install the latest perl port into /usr/local/rt3/perl/ and now I need to get mod_perl to compile against that version. I edited the Makefile, added MOD_PERLCONFIG=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl to CONFIGURE_ARGS and I edited the shebang line in /usr/local/bin/apxs to point to my new installation of perl. Then, I tried using this cli in the mod_perl port directory. bash-2.05b# PERL5LIB=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-freebsd PREFIX=/usr/local/rt3/perl SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl make While pieces of the compile output show that it is using /usr/local/rt3/perl/*, most of it shows that it's pulling from /usr/local/lib/perl5/* for libs. I even combed through the work directory and manually changed the references to the perl binary to /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl with no luck. Same results every time.

Try 'date +%z' to get the timezone in the format "+0200".

No, it is mostly a linear process. Whatever is updated by the time you disconnect will still be updated. Then when you restart the cvsup, you wont have to redo that part. There is some overhead searching through parts that don't need to be updated, so don't do it every 5minutes, but its not huge overhead.

FBSD 5.2-1 NIS/YP KDE
Hello All, I am trying to build a network around NIS/YP on a v 4.9-STABLE central/login server. Clients are FBSD v 5.2-1. The goal is a centrally administered KDE environment for each workstation. Because I am exporting the home directories on the server, as well as passwords via YP, users default to their home directories on the server upon successful login. This works, there are no issues yet (except for the member of more than 16 groups issue)... I have been successful in all aspects but one: client logins default to the most basic window mgr (tvwm I think). There are approx. 400 potentiaol users total over 65 workstations (a school environment). How can I make all of them default to KDE without manually going into each and every central home directory to set this? Do I need a Perl sctript to do this? How can I get a new user addition to default to KDE? I hope I have been clear. I would think this scenario is becoming more common as people try to move away from MS-based networks, but I have found really scant info...There's a LinuxWorld November 2002 article on KDE central administration, but it doesn't address the additional problems NIS causes!

firewall rules error

I'm trying to write my own rules for ipfw under 4.9 STABLE.
But everytime I try to use the file with my rules my network is totally blocked
and the "ipfw show" command returns :
65535 38 2311 deny ip from any to any
I think there's a problem in my rules file and the system replaces my rules by this
one, but I can't figure out what is the problem, my rules file is really short
compared to what I saw sometimes on Internet :
--
fwcmd="/sbin/ipfw"
oif="dc0"
iif="dc1"
${fwcmd} -f flush
${fwcmd} add check-state
${fwcmd} add deny ip from any to any in via $oif verrevpath

add 100 pass all from any to any via lo0
add 200 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
add 300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any

DNS, being a UDP protocol in the main, can't distinguish between "response lost in transit" and "no response made by server", so it has to sit and wait for the timeout before trying again. You should be able to tcpdump(1) the port 53 traffic from your caching DNS (or the DNS traffic out of your LAN, if you don't run your own DNS), and cross reference that with the traffic generated by one of your client machines, in order to get clues about exactly where things are going wrong. > Of course, 'batcave.org' is not a registered domain name.

Hey BSDbaby, ifconfig ssid netmask should do that trick without rebooting. If there's a tutorial about this kind of thing (besides /handbook/network-wireless.html) - please point me there. Dunno, i read ifconfig man page when i needed to know. Thanks!

You may find a reason there why modes other than 640x480 are excluded.

How do I eliminate resolver delay??
Since I started my wireless network, I am getting odd delays when starting apps that I am told is the resolver. With the wired network, this does not happen. I've had ssh take longer than normal, I've had X take 3 minutes, and today Xemacs didn't start so I shut it down and rebooted without the network. It came right up. In all of these cases, xauth is running and stuck in the kqueue read state. I HAVE the host listed in /etc/hosts: ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain 10.0.0.1neptune neptune.batcave.org Of course, 'batcave.org' is not a registered domain name. What can I do to reduce or eliminate this annoying delay? NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed.
