dhclient keeps overwriting it with data from my ISP's dhcp server.
This is what I have in /etc/dhclient.conf -

supercede domain-name trini0.org;
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
This is mine,
interface xl0 {
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
supersede domain-name btito.local;

resulting in:
mail# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search btito.local
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 194.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver 194.xxx.xxx.xxx
Fix the typo in supersede if this is a try copy and paste form the file.
Best regards, Bob
And for some reason, /etc/resolv.conf *always* comes back as -
search some_name.attbi.com
nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz
nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz
Is there anyway to make /etc/resolv.conf stick??

What is the best way to obtain an exact copy download?--wrong md5 after downloading 5.3dsc1,2=(
Good day! After downloading disc1 and disc2 of freebsd 5.3, my boss told me to verify the download using md5. And to my surprise, none of those two iso's have the same md5 as that of the md5 written in CHECKSUM.md5. This is the first time I ever use the md5 and for so long, I didn't bother doing so with every huge download I make. But then the previous cd's works fine. My boss told me that if I continue to burn those ISO's, somewhere within the disc, there's a broken file and I'm gonna have a problem for sure. He also told me that there are a lot of factors behind this.. Question: On the middle of my download, how will I know if I'm still downloading the correct file, that no packet is being dropped and that I will end up in a perfect mirror file download? Do you know any downloading tool that will do just like this? Earlier, I just used the konqueror when I downloaded those ISO's. Is it really that hard to download? We're using E1 modems and our internet connection is quite fast. I'm just thinking, we are still lucky because of this. But how about those people with low bandwidth internet connection? Do they have a choice? How about the fetch(1) program? How accurate is it? Thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

W.; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: DSL support On Sun, Nov 07, 2004 at 02:49:34AM -0700, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: ... primary one we have always recommended has been the Linksys BEFSR41. ... HOWEVER - we are no longer recommending the Linksys devices. Why - because over the last 3 months we have had an increasing number of them which have been installed for several years, just fail. And the failures aren't pretty. Usually the packet flows through the router start getting slower and slower, and the user gets an increasing number of disconnections from websites and such that they go to. It is insidious, and very very difficult to tell the difference from either a congested ISP or virus activity, so most often the user just gets more and more dissatisfied with their DSL line, never realizing it's the cheap router that's the problem. When things get bad enough they start power-cycling the router and that 'fixes' things for a few hours, and the customer gets the impression that this is 'normal' for these devices. ... Speak of the devil and he appears. Oh geeze, sorry about that! My 3 month old BEFSR41 puked a few hours after I read your post. In my case it seems to be related to very high bandwidth utilization -- ~470KiB/s down and ~50KiB/s up while grabbing 5.3-Release with bittorrent. Yes, I forgot to mention this - the problem usually shows up under high load first. The upstream interface seems to have totally cratered, passing no traffic. It did this three times in a row, and it didn't take hours to recur -- just about 10 minutes, seemingly until the traffic built up to a substantial rate again. The first time, a reset did the trick, the next two I actually had to unplug the router and plug it back in. I've heard the exact same description a number of times before. Now, you can TRY playing with setting the MTU to 1483 or 1492 or some such. You can also try setting it to 1500 instead of 0 (default) Some people have also reported that going to http://www.pcflank.com/advanced.htm and running the Exploits test will immediately crash their Linksys. You can try this just to see if it's a firmware bug. Current firmware on the version 3 BEFSR41's is 1.05.00 that came out in April 2004. Current firmware on the version 2 BEFSR41's is 1.46.2 this came out in August 2004. But I don't think this kind of thing does much good. I'm a little choked because the router is virtually brand new. Well, your Linksys has a 1 year warranty on it, so don't throw it out the window in a fit of pique just yet. But of course, since it's past the 30 day time limit, the retailer is off the hook to return it. This means you have to pay to ship it back to Linksys. You can get an RMA number off the Linksys website. Now, what SOME people might do, and I am not of course advocating this, is some people might buy another BEFSR41 from the store, then wait a week and return their broken one, and tell the store that it is broken, then get a refund. In this way the Linksys will be put by the store into a pile of other broken Linksyses, and all of them will be shipped back on the same pallet at one time - which of course reduces the shipping cost - and in addition if the store is big, like a Fry's, their agreements with Linksys force Linksys to pay the shipping on the return. Thus, the manufacturer - Linksys - foots the bill for their selection of crap componentry. And as we all know, if Linksys gets enough returns, and those returns cost them enough money, they might possibly just be convinced to select a slightly higher quality of componentry for their future models, don't you think? But, I of course am not advising anyone do this, after all it is un-American to have the manufacturer bear the costs of their cost-cutting on their products!! The consumer is supposed to do that!! ;-) Seriously, though, keep this in mind. If you go the 'above the board' route, you are going to have to call into Linksys and talk to a tech support person to get a case number BEFORE you get an RMA number. It costs Linksys about $6 per call for someone to just talk to a tech support person. If you pull the refund switcheroo with a retailer, Linksys has to pay about $6 per device in shipping costs because the retailer is going to make them pay shipping. So, your conscience should be clear either way you do it, it just depends on whether you want Linksys to pay their support guy, or pay Federal Express. Either way, Linksys has to pay out over and above the cost of a new device if you return it. (as you are entitled to do as it failed under warranty) Now, once you get your new Linksys one thing you might consider is chopping a big square hole in the top and using some silicon caulk, silicone in a big cooling fan that blows

FreeBSD won't install or boot on HP NX9110 notebook
G'day... I recently purchased a HP NX9110 Notebook - and it runs beautifully - anything except BSD... Windows Gentoo both run fine. Anyway, when I try and boot from one of the BSD install Cd's, it gets to the bit after the Daemon menu, does the acpi.ko thing, and then shuts down. Nothing more. When I try the other menu options, such as ACPI disabled, safe mode, etc, I get the exact same thing. Oh, and it doesn't matter what version of BSD I try and install - I happen to have CD's lying around for everything from 5.3-RELEASE to 3.5.1-RELEASE - all of which I have tried - and I get the exact same result. I even installed the HDD from another notebook into it and tried booting from a 5.2.1-RELEASE install on that - same problem. I should also mention that I've tried all of the above on a completely different notebook of the same model with the same results, and so I am confident it is the model of notebook - rather than this notebook in particular - causing me troubles. If I even knew where to start troubleshooting, I would - but it doesn't give me much of an opportunity. I've gone through the bios, but as with most notebooks these days, the bios is kinda boring. I've tried different bios versions as well, to no avail. Please please please help me get BSD up and running... :) Thanks!

Do you know any downloading tool that will do just like this? Earlier, I just used the konqueror when I downloaded those ISO's. Is it really that hard to download?

Another option (if you do not want to re-download both CDs) is to have someone with known good copies help you recover the existing files. Two utilities which can do this are zidrav and quickpar.

What do I need to do now to update the kernel? Do I need to use csvup to update the GENERIC and NOTES files, then recompile and reinstall? That wouldn't be enough. You need the updated sources as well to have the appropriately updated kernel. As far as I can see, freebsd-update only provides kernel updates for the generic kernel. To have it update your kernel, you would need to stick to a generic kernel. To update the kernel yourself, you would need to download at least the kernel sources separately (I believe that's the sys collection, but I haven't checked). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm running the ISC dhcp server, as I mentioned in my message, and it's fairly up-to-date, but I don't think the exact version matters for you (at least not at this point). I looked for a 'debug' flag on the man page and didn't see it. From man dhcpd: To have dhcpd log to the standard error descriptor, specify the -d flag. This can be useful for debugging, and also at sites where a com- plete log of all dhcp activity must be kept but syslogd is not reliable or otherwise cannot be used.Normally, dhcpd will log all output using the syslog(3) function with the log facility set to LOG_DAEMON. What should I loook for in th logfile? or will it be obvious :-) Again, the approach I'm describing will *not* log into the logfile; I'm suggesting you get the debug output on a console in real time. Okay. This is all that is output to stderr: No subnet declaration for dc0 (216.231.43.140). ** Ignoring requests on dc0. If this is not what you want, please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment to which interface dc0 is attached. ** Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net I've seen this before. What does the last line mean? Or, how do I test this? I've just tried ssh'ing around. Nothing to the screen. This is telling you that the machine doesn't know how to assign addresses for DHCP requests that come in on the dc0 interface. If that's correct (i.e., you want it to assign addresses on some other interface but not that one), then everything's fine so far. If it's not, then you need to modify your dhcpd.conf as it said. If everything is okay on that front, then you need to get some of the other machines (the ones to which this server should be assigning addresses) to ask for leases. How to do this depends on what OS they are running, but rebooting should do it in any case. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CVSup basics?
Hi, i realize this is really basic, but i dont actually know how cvsup works when youre not calling it through cvsup. What i mean is, when i want to update things i do cd /usr/ports make update or cd /usr/src make update, i dont do cvsup directly. What i assume is my working supfile is /usr/src/supfile-current. i want to change this to RELENG-5 instead of ., but i should probably change the name. But i cant figure out how to know WHICH supfile is called when i just do cd /usr/src make update. Also where do i put the refuse file, for ports? Thanks! i didnt see this in the HandBook.

Besides, the BEFSR41 is what all the cool kids were buying, and looks much snazzier on my desktop to boot, and didn't cost as much. It's only apparent failing is an inability to route packets when I want them routed. That's one negative and three positives. So I think I made a shrewd purchase decision. :) Thanks for the advice in re: RMA-ing the router; I never considered that. Usually components either fail out of the box or wait until the warranty period is over. I myself most recently bought a Hawking wireless bridge for my father. It was a bit odd to setup, as the firmware had to be flashed from access point firmware to bridging firmware and no mention of this was made in the manual. But it has worked great since. I am glad to hear that your Hawking lasted 3 years, it gives me some hope that the one I got for my father will also.

Restarting vino remotely
So I had to restart my home box the other day then realized while away that I forgot to launch vino-session, so I am unable to VNC to my local desktop. This seems to work me into a corner, as while I can still ssh into the computer, I cannot start vino-session from the remote ssh session because of DISPLAY issues. It insists on running from the local desktop. I've been researching since yesterday and haven't found any suggestions that work. Some posts mention xhost +localhost but when I try that I get: X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). I've also tried setting the DISPLAY variable to localhost:0 and localhost:0.0 as well as using the --display= command line parameter of vino-session to no avail. This isn't a critical issue but kinda inconvenient and bound to happen again. So I figured I'd ask the list: faced with a situation like this, what's the best way to bootstrap your way back into being able to VNC into your local desktop (localhost:0)?

Re: CVSup basics?
On Mon, Nov 08, 2004 at 06:34:41AM -0800, Your Name wrote: Hi, i realize this is really basic, but i dont actually know how cvsup works when youre not calling it through cvsup. What i mean is, when i want to update things i do cd /usr/ports make update or cd /usr/src make update, i dont do cvsup directly. What i assume is my working supfile is /usr/src/supfile-current. i want to change this to RELENG-5 instead of ., but i should probably change the name. But i cant figure out how to know WHICH supfile is called when i just do cd /usr/src make update. Also where do i put the refuse file, for ports? Thanks! i didnt see this in the HandBook. The 'make update' behaviour is controlled by the following variable in /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile Of those variables, it's really only the last four that you need to think about what to set them to -- the others should be set to the values shown here. SUPHOST should be set to a convenient cvsup server close to you in network terms. Use the sysutils/fastest_cvsup port to locate likely candidates. SUPFILE says which supfile to use for cvsup'ing the system sources -- ie. everything under /usr/src. You can write your own, but it's more convenient to just use one of the ones in /usr/share/examples/cvsup as is. (Nb. you don't need to edit the supfile to set whcih cvsup server to use, as the SUPHOST variable is used to set that from the command line.) Your choices for the example supfiles available are: stable-supfile -- on 4.x this tracks RELENG_4, and on 5.x it tracks RELENG_5 standard-supfile -- this tracks the same branch as the currently running system, which can be HEAD, any of the STABLE branches or any of the RELEASE branches. If you want to switch branches you'll have to create your own supfile -- just editing the correct tag into a copy of the standard-supfile and doing a one-off cvsup with it is the easiest way to go. PORTSSUPFILE -- you guessed it: the supfile used for updating the ports tree. If you don't want to cvsup the ports, then don't define this variable. If you do, then /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile is all you need. DOCSUPFILE -- ditto for the documentation tree: ie. the sources to the Handbook, the Porter's Handbook, the Developer's Handbook, numerous articles and all of the available foreign language translations thereof. Leave blank if you don't want that, or else set it to /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile. Note: you don't need to have a local copy of the docs sources unless you're going to be working on them, as everything is available via the web. The 'refuse' file by default lives in the directory sup under the 'base' directory, as defined in the supfiles. On 4.x that's /usr/sup, while on 5.x it's /var/db/sup -- note that in this setup the refuse file is shared between all of the collections maintained by cvsup. It contains a list of shell glob expressions relative to the default 'prefix' directory -- usually /usr. Thus you'ld use ports/foo to refuse the 'foo' category of ports. See /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse.README Note that refusing bits of the ports collection is usually a mistake. Ports can and do have dependencies against all sorts of other ports anywhere in the tree -- even the language specific categories given as examples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse. Bad things happen if you're refusing any of the dependencies when you go to install a port, and the standard instruction in case of difficulties is to re-cvsup the ports-all collection without refusing anything and then try again. On the other hand, using the refuse file on the docs tree is extremely effective if all you want is one particular language.

Remick wrote: So I had to restart my home box the other day then realized while away that I forgot to launch vino-session, so I am unable to VNC to my local desktop. This seems to work me into a corner, as while I can still ssh into the computer, I cannot start vino-session from the remote ssh session because of DISPLAY issues. It insists on running from the local desktop. I've been researching since yesterday and haven't found any suggestions that work. Some posts mention xhost +localhost but when I try that I get: X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). That means your ssh(1) session isn't doing X11 forwarding. ssh has he capability to pose as an X server, usually on localhost:10.0 and transparently forwards all X session traffic over an encrypted tunnel back to your desktop display, but only if you enable it. I've also tried setting the DISPLAY variable to localhost:0 and localhost:0.0 as well as using the --display= command line parameter of vino-session to no avail. Don't do that. First of all, as you've already discovered, it doesn't work. Secondly, you're telling X windows to display on the screen of the remote machine, which won't be a whole lot of use to you. Instead, read about the '-X' and '-Y' options in ssh(1) and the equivalent 'ForwardX11' directive in ssh_config(5).

Hmm, well actually it IS enabled in the client I'm using but I'm not understanding why I'd need it. I'm using PuTTY, and under the session config in Connection - SSH - Tunnels the option for Enable X11 forwarding is checked with the X display location set to localhost:0. However, this is leftover from my days of experimenting with Cygwin (which I did have working but decided was too much of a pain). What I do these days is forward port 5900 over SSH for the sake of VNC and so the X11 forwarding isn't necessary. Secondly, you're telling X windows to display on the screen of the remote machine, which won't be a whole lot of use to you. Well my goal here is to restart vino-session, which is command-line and simply needs to spawn into the background, so I don't need to see it. And it seems to ONLY run from the screen of the host system, so (on the contrary) getting vino-session to run on its screen seems to be precisely what I'd want. I feel like I'm misunderstanding something fundamental here, or else I'm not communicating my situation very well. Instead, read about the '-X' and '-Y' options in ssh(1) and the equivalent 'ForwardX11' directive in ssh_config(5). Well I'm not using FreeBSD's ssh as I mentioned, I looked at -X though and saw it was just for the X11 forwarding that I already said I've got enabled in the SSH client I AM using (PuTTY) and I see no mention of -Y in the ssh man page to see what the equivalent PuTTY option might be. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am reading this mailing list every day (better than any book I got) and I see that most of the questione is about 5.x release and just read today the 5.3 came out. Do I need to upgrade to 5.x ?

ipfilter loading on 5.3

When i try to manually load up my rules file with: ipf -FA -f /etc/ipf.rules i am getting an error can not open no such device I have not compiled anything for ipfilter in to the kernel as i had done previously i understood from the handbook that ipf was capable of being dynamically loaded and the rc.conf line would suffice. I've also added: Local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log to my syslog.conf file getting ipf traffic in a separate logfile. When i go to rotate this file with newsyslog is there any special flags i should pass? Thanks.

Is 4.10 out of date? Thank you Laszlo You do not need to upgrade to 5.* FreeBSD 4.10 is not out-of-date. In fact, at one time, the developers were planning a version 4.11; but I don't know the current status of that decision. Reasons to stay with 4.10 may include: 1. Your system is running fine and providing all the features and services that you currently need. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it.) 2. You've heard reports that your old hardware doesn't work or is very difficult to configure in FreeBSD 5* (such as certain pcmcia ports). 3. You're upgrading your hardware soon and will perform clean installations of FreeBSD 5* at that time. The reasons to upgrade to FreeBSD 5.3 may include: 1. You need features in 5.3 that do not exist in 4.10. 2. There are structural differences between FreeBSD 4* and 5*. If you are very new to FreeBSD, you may wish to learn 5* from the start. 3. You know you will eventually upgrade to 5*; and now is as good a time as any. I'm sure more experienced users will chime in with additional thoughts.

Unable to see drive greater than 2TB under FreeBSD 5.3
I have recently been asked to attach a ~5TB external raid array to a FreeBSD machine. On attaching it, FreeBSD claims it is only ~1TB in size. I have tried (in no particular order): rebooting, changing the SCSI card geometry munging option (does this do anything??), creating a partition using fdisk and gpt which covered the entirety of the disk, all to no avail. To my naïve eyes it seems the mpt driver is not aware of extended translation however I cannot see where to fix this in the driver, or have any confidence in this guess!

[OT] sendmail server hardware questions
Hello, Sorry for the off-topic nature of this post, but I'd like to get a feel for the responses from a community I trust. I have a customer who's goal is to send approx 1,000,000 outgoing emails per day. That's about 12/second. When it comes time to spec hardware, I want to configure a machine that will handle the load with aplomb. The box will be co-located so out-going bandwidth shouldn't be an issue. One would think the most important sub-system on a box of this nature would be a fast disk sub-system. Also important, I would think, would be a lot of system RAM to create as many simultaeous SMTP connections as feasible. Is this sound reasoning? Are there other factors to consider?

FBSD 2.5.1-p11 | Promise SATA150 TX2plus | Seagate B 200GB - BAD SUPERBLK / Machine freezes up etc
Hi, I'm running a FBSD 5.2.1-p11 server on a 350 PII. 1 IDE is plugged in on the motherboard. The other two Seagate Barracuda 200 GB SATA discs are plugged in on the controllercard. I get bad geometry in sysinstall (which is apparently a bug as far as I know from searching old mail-lists). Fdisk states that 387621/16/63 is wrong. Inside is changes to 24321/255/63. ST3200822AS is the product name for the hard-drive. http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/personal/family/0,1085,599,00.html is the datasheet. My problem is when I transfer large amounts of data to any of the discs. WIthout warning, the whole system absolutely freeze up and I have to manually reboot. When I then run fsck it reports on several problems, among them a SUPERBLK ERROR. I take it that's not good :p The disc has to be formatted and we go again. The first time it happened, I acquired a fan since they seemed a tad hot.. They were pushing 60°C. They are now around 35°C idle. High load is probably putting them around 45°C I believe. These are the theories I've come up with: 1) Both my discs are bad (brand new when I bought them) 2) The setup with the controller card and the motherboard doesn't work 3) FBSD can't handle the data-transfer very well after a while. Could it be that the data goes to the IDE and then to the SATA-discs? Thanks in advance, I really don't know how to handle this. Or, well I'm gonna try updating to 5.3 in a couple of days, since they have better SATA-handling I've been told.

Windows Network drivers in FreeBSD

Re: FBSD 2.5.1-p11 | Promise SATA150 TX2plus | Seagate B 200GB - BAD SUPERBLK / Machine freezes up etc
On 11/08/04 06:57 PM, Sebastian Holmqvist sat at the `puter and typed: Hi, I'm running a FBSD 5.2.1-p11 server on a 350 PII. 1 IDE is plugged in on the motherboard. The other two Seagate Barracuda 200 GB SATA discs are plugged in on the controllercard. I get bad geometry in sysinstall (which is apparently a bug as far as I know from searching old mail-lists). Fdisk states that 387621/16/63 is wrong. Inside is changes to 24321/255/63. ST3200822AS is the product name for the hard-drive. http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/personal/family/0,1085,599,00.html is the datasheet. My problem is when I transfer large amounts of data to any of the discs. WIthout warning, the whole system absolutely freeze up and I have to manually reboot. When I then run fsck it reports on several problems, among them a SUPERBLK ERROR. I take it that's not good :p The disc has to be formatted and we go again. The first time it happened, I acquired a fan since they seemed a tad hot.. They were pushing 60°C. They are now around 35°C idle. High load is probably putting them around 45°C I believe. These are the theories I've come up with: 1) Both my discs are bad (brand new when I bought them) 2) The setup with the controller card and the motherboard doesn't work 3) FBSD can't handle the data-transfer very well after a while. Could it be that the data goes to the IDE and then to the SATA-discs? Thanks in advance, I really don't know how to handle this. Or, well I'm gonna try updating to 5.3 in a couple of days, since they have better SATA-handling I've been told. I've had problems with an Intel ICH5 SATA controller, and serious system lockups much like what you're describing. I've run my drive through every utility I could find and I'm convinced there's nothing wrong with it. I've been getting WRITE_DMA timeouts in /var/log/messages though, typically 1 to 3 of them before the lockup. Have you noticed any of these? I hadn't thought about the fdisk issue, but yesterday I did a new 5.3 install and got a similar message to yours. Based on the fdisk message, I'm going to keep an eye out for anything strange. I haven't had this problem in 5.3 yet, but if I do, I'll be sure to look up the drives data sheet (WD 160G) and see how they match. In the past, I've always let fdisk do what it wanted, but maybe I should have forced it to the mfg spec. Perhaps I'll retry the install using that method. If it changes anything, I'll post it here. Not sure this helps, but maybe it'll put a couple pieces of the puzzle together somewhere.

You probably updated from an older 5.x to 5.3? This is libpthread's
obscure way of saying there are two threads libraries linked to this
app and I can't handle it. Run ldd -a on your binary and see if
libc_r got pulled in via a shared library. If so, rebuild that library
so it pulls in libpthread instead of libc_r. A workaround until you
get everything rebuilt is to redirect libc_r to libpthread via
/etc/libmap.conf:
libc_r.so.5libpthread.so.1
libc_r.so libpthread.so

NDIS D-LINK DWL-650+
Hi, Just before I definitively give up on this crap-card, I just thought I'd give it another try with project evil without succes.

Slow writes using hardware ata raid on older server
I've finally got a clean updated stable FreeBSD box, thank you all who have invested your time creating documentation that makes it so easy for us newbies. Anyway, I had gentoo on the machine for about 10 minutes... Had a problem with writing to my Megaraid i4 controller... It was terribly slow (1MB/sec)! So I figured I'd try FreeBSD and see how that goes. I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell Bonnie output (below), things are not much better. I only tested with a 100MB file ($ bonnie++ -s 100) because I need to head to work and didn't want to wait for it to go through a whole 1-2GB file. Also below you will find the output from top while bonnie++ was writing a byte at a time and writing intelligently. I only include these because I'm not sure how to read them properly for multiple processors. From what I can tell, during the byte at a time write the processor is pegged, but only about 1/4 used during the intelligent write. Anyway, I'm stuck now with no idea what to do to fix this problem! Any guidance would be appreciated.

If that's correct (i.e., you want it to assign addresses on some other interface but not that one), then everything's fine so far. If it's not, then you need to modify your dhcpd.conf as it said. I've got two NICs on my primary. dc0 goes to my router; dc1 goes to my hub. All are running unix. So far, I have rebooted only my laptop. I can immediately ssh from my latop *into* my primary (DNS) server, but when I try to ping anywhere from my laptop, nothing--it times out. So my dhcpd isn't handing out leases. In /etc/rc.conf I've got: dhcpd_flags=-q# command option(s) dhcpd_conf=/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf# configuration file dhcpd_ifaces=dc1 # ethernet interface(s) dhcpd_withumask=022 # file creation mask So far, the dhcpd_ifaces doesn't seem to be working, although I *do* see it when I do a grep on 'sh -x on /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh:: + network_interfaces=dc0 dc1 lo0 + ifconfig_dc1=inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 + dhcpd_ifaces=dc1 So the script at least is reading /etc/rc.conf. Why dhcpd isn't seeing this is unknown. Here is part of my dhcpd.conf: option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.0.1; option domain-name thought.org; option domain-name-servers 216.231.41.2, 66.93.87.2; option routers 10.0.0.1; option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0; server-name sage; server-identifier 10.0.0.1; If everything is okay on that front, then you need to get some of the other machines (the ones to which this server should be assigning addresses) to ask for leases. How to do this depends on what OS they are running, but rebooting should do it in any case. So far, rebooting ns1.thought.org (== sage) and my laptop don't change anything. gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FBSD 2.5.1-p11 | Promise SATA150 TX2plus | Seagate B 200GB - BAD SUPERBLK / Machine freezes up etc

The other two Seagate Barracuda 200 GB SATA discs are plugged in on the controllercard. I get bad geometry in sysinstall (which is apparently a bug as far as I know from searching old mail-lists). Fdisk states that 387621/16/63 is wrong. Inside is changes to 24321/255/63. ST3200822AS is the product name for the hard-drive. http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/personal/family/0,1085,599,00.html is the datasheet. My problem is when I transfer large amounts of data to any of the discs. WIthout warning, the whole system absolutely freeze up and I have to manually reboot. When I then run fsck it reports on several problems, among them a SUPERBLK ERROR. I take it that's not good :p The disc has to be formatted and we go again. The first time it happened, I acquired a fan since they seemed a tad hot.. They were pushing 60°C. They are now around 35°C idle. High load is probably putting them around 45°C I believe. These are the theories I've come up with: 1) Both my discs are bad (brand new when I bought them) 2) The setup with the controller card and the motherboard doesn't work 3) FBSD can't handle the data-transfer very well after a while. Could it be that the data goes to the IDE and then to the SATA-discs? Thanks in advance, I really don't know how to handle this. Or, well I'm gonna try updating to 5.3 in a couple of days, since they have better SATA-handling I've been told. I've had problems with an Intel ICH5 SATA controller, and serious system lockups much like what you're describing. I've run my drive through every utility I could find and I'm convinced there's nothing wrong with it. I've been getting WRITE_DMA timeouts in /var/log/messages though, typically 1 to 3 of them before the lockup. Have you noticed any of these? I hadn't thought about the fdisk issue, but yesterday I did a new 5.3 install and got a similar message to yours. Based on the fdisk message, I'm going to keep an eye out for anything strange. I haven't had this problem in 5.3 yet, but if I do, I'll be sure to look up the drives data sheet (WD 160G) and see how they match. In the past, I've always let fdisk do what it wanted, but maybe I should have forced it to the mfg spec. Perhaps I'll retry the install using that method. If it changes anything, I'll post it here. Not sure this helps, but maybe it'll put a couple pieces of the puzzle together somewhere.

However, these snapshots/releases are not really as much of a piece of beta software as you make it out to be. Many people download, use, and test the release prior to its actual release in order to cut down on the number of bugs in that particular release. That is the reason for the src and ports (and even doc, to a certain extent) trees freezing in the days/weeks prior to a release -- so that nothing new happens except for bugfixes and bugfixes for bugfixes and so on as necessary. This probably gives you the best set of testing you can reasonably ask for in a code base that is always being updated. So what it comes down to is that releases are snapshots of a particular CVS branch at a particular point in time that gets special attention in terms of use and testing. -- Alan Gerber ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: help
Where do I find the supported hardware list? You might try looking for it! It has a link on the main FreeBSD web page. For example, for 'Production Release 5.3' one finds the following named links: Production Release: 5.3 Installation Guide Release Notes Hardware Notes Installation Notes Errata Migration Guide If you just happened to click on 'Hardware Notes' You would find the following with appropriate links: The hardware notes for FreeBSD are customized for different platforms, as many devices are only supported on (or are only relevant for) specific processors or architectures. Hardware notes for FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE are available for the following platforms: * alpha * amd64 * i386 * ia64 * pc98 * sparc64 A list of all platforms currently under development can be found on the Supported Platforms page. Clicking on 'i386' would get you the whole list nicely divided into various types of devices. jerry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lowell Gilbert Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2004 12:50 PM To: Aaron Carranza Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: help Aaron Carranza [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am trying to install a Linksys 10/100/1000 gigabit network adapter on a 4.9 freebsd operating system, but the os is not detecting the nic; however, when I install a 10/100 linksys nic it works fine.

The constant carping on every question you respond to begins to wear on those of us who would really just like to learn more about how to better administrate our systems.

You're not going to find any converts here. As far as open-open source being the only one in beta, I work in development where our code is closed-source. Even we have to admit that our releases fit better into the category of BETA than RELEASE. The whole world of computers and programming is very new and most everyone of any real intelligence realizes that we all have a lot more to learn. The issue I have with closed-source systems is that when I spot a problem I can't do anything to fix it. Usually that means waiting for one of Microsoft's untold millions of patches and hope that it doesn't blow my system out of the water like so many of the Service Packs have done. That is why I like so much of what open-source is doing. We admit that we're not perfect and we don't know it all, but we will sure work to find the solution when a problem arises. As a final note, I have seen you talk about how much you know. How about proving it? Why not offer some real help to some of the questions posed on this list?

In my case, I noticed this during boot, when ipfilter was being activated: link_elf: symbol in6_cksum undefined The net effect was that the kernel module would not load, due to the unresolved symbol. In my case, I was using a custom kernel that lacked options INET6. Re-building my kernel with that option added (i.e., with IPv6 support enabled) fixed the problem and the ipfilter kernel module now works. I'm guessing there's some kind of hidden dependency on IPv6 in 5.3 as far as the ipfilter kernel module is concerned. (This didn't seem to be the case in 5.2.1, from what I remember.)
