As this answer appears to be more complete, than my first one, I attached it 
to the original thread, just for the archives. I'm not a ntp specialist, so 
maybe there are some things that I misunderstood, but I think it's better 
than no answer. ;-)

IMHO this isn't a problem - the messages are informational. ntpd just switches 
(kernel) clock discipline modes between PLL (Phase-Locked-Loop) and FLL 
(Frequency-Locked-Loop).

I recently found a good documentation on ntpd PLL/FLL hybrid mode (including 
the differences between ntp v3/v4 PLL/FLL mode's handling):   
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/papers/allan.pdf

I was pointed to the above link by  
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/contrib/ntp/html/kern.html
You also can find this document in /usr/src, if you have sources installed on 
your system.

As I mentioned, there seems to be nothing wrong with messages 6001 and 2001.  
Kernel time discipline (and probably kernel time discipline messages) could 
be disabled via ntpdc control message's or ntpd config-file's "disable 
kernel" option. I think this also would disable nano-second 
clock-disciplining ability, so I would left it enabled. I never tried to 
disable kernel time discipline, so I can't imagine what would happen in real 
life ... 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/contrib/ntp/html/miscopt.html

See also the option "tinker allan" option. This option allows you to change 
the seconds for minimum Allan intercept, which is a parameter of the PLL/FLL 
clock discipline algorithm. I left this at default value, too.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/contrib/ntp/html/miscopt.html

Loopfilter's implementation can be found at: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/contrib/ntp/ntpd/ntp_loopfilter.c
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/sys/timex.h


Two simple examples of ntpd status decoding (see timex.h):

Status message "time sync enabled 2001" tells us:

STA_PLL   0x0001  [true]   /* enable PLL updates (rw) */
STA_NANO  0x2000  [true]   /* resolution (0 = us, 1 = ns) (ro) */
STA_MODE  0x4000  [false]  /* mode (0 = PLL, 1 = FLL) (ro) *
STA_CLK   0x8000  [false]  /* clock source (0 = A, 1 = B) (ro) */
- --
  0x2001  PLL upd. on, Resolution=ns, mode=PLL, clock-src=A

Status message "time sync enabled 6001" tells us:

STA_PLL   0x0001  [true]   /* enable PLL updates (rw) */
STA_NANO  0x2000  [true]   /* resolution (0 = us, 1 = ns) (ro) */
STA_MODE  0x4000  [true]   /* mode (0 = PLL, 1 = FLL) (ro) *

Can "make rerelease" go backwards?

[Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.]

I recently tried something new ... built my own release
with what I (naively || ) thought would be
RELENG_5_3 sources.  I'm hoping to use this "release
server" to set up boxes for the foreseeable future, so
I really want 5.3-RELEASE.  It was a neat experience,
not so hard as it seemed at first, and it was tre kewl to
watch FreeBSD install via FTP over a LAN 
However, in setting only the three variables required,
with CVSROOT equal to:
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs,
   I ended up with 6.X-CURRENT sources, as I'm sure
that anyone familiar with the process could easily have
foreseen (I guess I thought that somehow BUILDNAME
might have something to do with it, besides the obvious).
If I set CVSCMDARGS to the time that 5.3-RELEASE was
tagged, will a "make rerelease" do the equivalent of
"turning back the clock" without having to clean out
the source tree, etc?  I had to move a box from here
to the colo (and then back again) to get enough bw
to do the job (after 3 unsuccessful tries from here)
and would really like to do the job with minimal
"pull" from the 'Net if possible 
Anyone have a recommendation?  Or is it "back to
the colo" and "make release" again?
Thank you!

Certainly should be large enough.  A

and even with full source and docs and a

As a desktop or server OS FreeBSD 5.3 has been very stable for me (a
pretty subjective answer :-P)

My suggestion is to use FreeBSD 5.3 without doubt, you will get more
hardware supported, better performance, more features and (maybe the
most important) more support (security patches, bugfixes, etc).

Check the section 'Loader Settings' of /boot/defaults/loader.conf and
override the default configuration in /boot/loader.conf (don't tune
/boot/defaults/loader.conf), you might be interested in autoboot_delay,
and beastie_disable.

This may seem a bit basic, but you realise that you don't have to
press the '1' key, right?  It'll boot up after the timeout.  It's only
like 10 seconds or so and the other options can be quite useful if you
happen to need to boot to single user mode.

correct on 5.3 being the current release.  I find it quite stable.  I
have not crashed or locked or anything on any desktops/servers I have
installed it on.  This doesn't hold with my laptop, but the one crash
that I got was due (I think) to X rather than fBSD itself.  In general
when fBSD declares something STABLE for a release, they mean it.

Obviously you'll want something current so 4.9 is out of the question.
 That kind of leaves the 2 distinct branches.  These are the 4.x and
5.x and are currently represented by 5.3 and 4.10.  Which you want is

I use this in loader.conf:

Obviously you'll want something current so 4.9 is out of the question.
 That kind of leaves the 2 distinct branches.  These are the 4.x and
5.x and are currently represented by 5.3 and 4.10.  Which you want is

Problems about Grub and FreeBSD

[殷鸣]

Hi, all
I got some problems while installed FreeBSD onto a big disk. 

I installed 3 OS on my box, WIN98, Redhat9, and FreeBSD5r. BSD is resident
in the third partition, from 768cyl to 1800cyl, but the bios of my box
is rather old, which doesn't support big disks greater than 1024cyl. I
should have set a boot disk label in the 1024cyl, but I forgot to do
that. So, for either Grub (0.93) and bootmgr of BSD, they cannot load
the kernel directly.

Partition:
[0-767cyl WIN98] [768-1800cyl BSD] [...]

Disk label inside BSD partition:
[ / size:as much as this partition ] [ swap size:256M]

First question, how to load BSD's kernel outside of 1024cyl? My bios has
no version supporting big disks.

Second: I installed Grub in MBR, to boot these 3 OS. Since it wasn't
able to load the BSD's kernel outside of 1024cyl, I tried chainloader as
same as WIN98:
#grub.conf
rootnoverify (hd0,1) # the BSD partition
makeactive
chainloader +1

It worked, Grub loaded the boot sector of BSD partition and then, the
later one loaded the kernel correctly. But the loading was rather slow.
I mean, loading of kernel is rathr slow (takes about 20 seconds) , but
after kernel having been loaded, the system runs as fast as usual. 
Why?

I have a gamecube controller I hooked up via usb to my pc and I can use 
it to do stuff, just not play games!  $ man usbhidctl is what you will 
need to know.  The problem appears to be most emulators use joypad or 
something specific to linux.  But there is one in FreeBSD too, I just 
could never get the button mappings down.  What I was going to do was 
have x treat it like a keyboard or something and map the buttons from my 
controller to the keyboard keys.  I could get my gamepad to do things 
like change system system settings, but that was all.  If you have any 
thoughts or get it working let me know.

Erik,
Have you had a look at /etc/mail/README and/or 
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README? Particularly the bits regarding relaying? 
If not, then those READMEs are probably a good place to start.

Will this SMTP server be accessible by everyone on the Internet? If so, 
you really do want to make sure you understand why it's bad to be an 
open relay and what the possible consequences are (e.g. being 
blacklisted, slapped around by your ISP, name calling, etc...).

ISTR you need linprocfs mounted for the linux jvm to run correctly (which is 
used to 
build the native one).

Re: Diskless Servers

[Tabor Kelly]

Evan Sayer wrote:
Hello-
Is it a good idea to run a mail server or web server diskless?  The 
reason I want to do this is so that all of our server's files will be in 
one place which will make backups more convenient.  Basically I am 
thinking of running one NFS/TFTP file server with disks, and those disks 
will contain the partitions for a web server, a mail server, and a login 
server which will all boot diskless.  Is this safe and ok performance 
wise?  Thanks.
So, mbox format mail files can not be run over NFS because NFS does not 
implement posix standard file locking. You could run courier or qmail 
with maildir however. I use a patched version of qmail (and I love it), 
your can read about my experiences here (please note, I haven't quite 
finished this document yet and it is still a little rough around the 
edges): (http://tabor.taborandtashell.net/serversetup/qmail.html).

As for a web server, I don't know of any file locking problems, although 
for some specific implementations I would presume that they would pop up 
(ex: anything to do with a Berkley DB).

So, in short the answer to your question is: depends.
Note: I am not an expert unix system administrator, nor have I ever had 
a disk less server, I have however been monkeying with unix for about 8 
years now.

This also has the advantage of being able to set arguments to configure
which the port maintainer may not have provided knobs for, by doing
something like this:

'www/links' => 'CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--some-option-to-configure',

Of course, this all depends on having portupgrade installed, and using
it consistently for building/upgrading.

Does your ISP allow incoming SMTP connections? Not all ISPs do, 
especially if they don't expect their users to be running servers. See 
if you can get someone outside your ISP to try connecting to the SMTP 
port on your machine. If they get a connection refusal, then somewhere 
along the line, that port is being blocked.

mplayer and mozilla...

[Gary Kline]

People,

Before I upgraded mplayerplugin, it worked happily with NPR 
(and other sites).  I checked "Helper-Applications" in
mozilla; did not  see anything Windows.   It is probably that 
I don't have this entered correctly.  ---Maybe this was 
never done correctly... (?)

What am I supposed in have in the entry that tells mozilla
which binary to point at when it sees an *afs (?) sound file?

(mplayerplugin does give me clear audio when NPR asks if
I was Real or Windows, but not automatically.)

thanks for any insights.

I followed the above howto word by word too and it didn't work from
the first try. So I made some searches, I think on pamldap or on
openldap mailing lists, don't remember exactly, and found another
explanation on how to set things up. As far as I remember, my problem
was with ldap.conf and nss_ldap.conf files which reside in
/usr/local/etc/. This files must be identical, so you may symlink
them, as I did. After that everything started to work, in my case ssh
through pam_ldap.
 

I found this to be the case also  I didnt think to symlink them 
though (Doh)

Unfortunately, my detailed configs are at work, so if you won't find
anything I'll post them on monday.
 

would greatly appreciate it  I cant get ssh logins (or any others) 
to work... really frustrating...

Thanks...

You may want to consider putting some swap space on both drives, because 
this will allow for (relatively) simultaneous access, and should speed 
up swap performance. Other than that, the only difference should be that 
you have two drives to select from when creating your FreeBSD slices, 
and will thus have two slices when it comes to actually making 
partitions and assigning mount points.

Yeah, you guys are right... as far as I can tell, it's always been set

Not only that, but it appears not to matter. I'm running 4.10 on this 
machine (same as the OP), with ipv6_enable="NO" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf 
and nothing to override it in /etc/rc.conf. Yet the machine booted with 
IPv6 enabled. Only when I disabled IPv6 in the kernel did v6 stop trying 
to happen. This also had the effect of speeding up name resolution by 
Mozilla and friends, which IIRC was the OP's issue in the first place.

freetype 2 error question

[dick hoogendijk]

I get a lot of the following errors. They all are related to Xft. I.e.
"portupgrade -rR XFree86-4-clients" stops with the following errors:

#ifndef FT_FREETYPE_H
#error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!"
#error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files."
#error "Example:"
#error "  #include "
#error "  #include FT_FREETYPE_H"
#endif

-(Compiling fvwm results in the same way)-

After some googling I learn this error is quite common.

I want your opinion on some changes I made in
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h

The original file states:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

After I changed some lines, XFree86-4-clients compiled well. The errors
disappeared. But I wonder if my changes were right. What I did was:

#include 
#include 
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
#include 
#include 

As you can see, I left out the line "#include "
completely, but now I wonder if I should have left it in the header
file, following my changes.. I.e.:

#include 
#include 
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
#include   <-- leave it here 
#include 
#include 

Please give me some advise..

How do you get openssl port to overwrite the base files, the following
does NOT work.

make OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes install clean

it displays
"#

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/security/openssl."

how to install in base?

You can.
Depending on the machine (ie CPU, Memory) and how much combined usage you 
have you should be able to run all your servers off the same machine... 
from a performance standpoint.

Security is another issue.
In particular you need to have public FTP? It is safer to use scp.
Also what kind of DNS will this be? A backup DNS, primary or caching?
Only time I can think performance would be an issue is if you were to run 
a primary DNS for a very buy domain or domains.

Hi!
I got an old PC - Compaq Deskpro 4000 - 166mhz/64ram/etc.
And i tried to install FreeBSD 5.2 on it, but i failed. Everything goes ok - 
system boots normaly (from CD), freebsd installer starts, and when i choose to 
install it says - "no disks found". and this message also appears when i want 
to change source media ("no cdrom/dvdrom found") or load install configuration 
("no floppies found").
I tried to google my problem, but there were no good results.
Linux is installing and working perfectly on this computer, but freebsd fails 
to install.

maybe you could help?

I guess that some daemons are causing disk access. But it must be
not only syslogd.
Is the syncer causing the disk to spin up even if there is nothing
to flush?

My idea is to transfer those files that are written also when the
user is idle to a RAM disk (some from /var/log and dhclient.leases).
But I don't want to mount the filesystems read-only.

This is less convenient and probably doesn't work on my laptop. (I

You can let bind log through the syslog facility. I think that's even the

There was a discussion about that a few hours ago.
Use "/etc/rc.d/named restart" instead.
That won't work with newsyslog. newsyslog needs a pidfile to send a HUP
to the logging proces after the logs are rotated.

Diskless Servers

[Evan Sayer]

Hello-
Is it a good idea to run a mail server or web server diskless?  The 
reason I want to do this is so that all of our server's files will be 
in one place which will make backups more convenient.  Basically I am 
thinking of running one NFS/TFTP file server with disks, and those 
disks will contain the partitions for a web server, a mail server, and 
a login server which will all boot diskless.  Is this safe and ok 
performance wise?  Thanks.

I am surprised that the first book suggested *wasn't* this one:  The
Design & Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System (McKusick &
Neville-Neil).  This bad boy is written for FreeBSD 5.2, which means
(rather miraculously) that it's actually up to date, full of real life
descriptions, and about as useful a book on Unix as you could possibly
purchase.

It rather depends on what sort of book you're going after, because this IS
a rather academically oriented book ... it's not for beginners, it assumes
you are a journeyman programmer.  I loved it, best, highest
recommendation.

Can't remove files: Operation not permitted

Hi,
I have messed around trying to set up a freebsd diskless, so to populate 
a root directory i ran (FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT)

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make DESTDIR=/var/nclt installworld
Now the problem is that I can't get rid of /var/nclt again, not even in 
single user mode. I can't change file permissions.

How do I clean up from this again?

Hanspeter Roth wrote:

Yes, this is Unix.  Even when there is no user activity, a Unix system 
normally is still running a number of daemons such as syslogd which regularly 
write to the filesystem.  Beyond that, the syncer mechanism tries to reduce 
the number of dirty memory buffers every thirty seconds or so.

How can one trace disk access?
I'd like to know the kind of access and on which files/directories/
nodes. I'd like to log on the console or on a memory disk file.
If you ask this question in the hopes of shutting down disk access long enough 
to permit your drives to spin down, then please be aware that such an answer 
won't help.

Instead you probably will need to mount filesystems read-only and create RAM 
disks in a fashion similar to booting off limited-write media like Compact 
Flash.  Either that, or simply shutdown the system or run zzz to suspend the 
system via APM/APCI.

Fstat(1) seems to take snapshots only and doesn't show # of bytes
transfered. Using fstat by polling frequently misses programs run
between poll.

I'd like a tool that displays in real-time (similar to tcpdump).

Points 1., 2. (and 4.) also could be solved by setting up a gmirror(8) raid1 
array on the partitions in question. This works w/o the dump/restore/cron and 
the setup process is very simple. There is also a gstripe(8) and a gconcat(8) 
geom-class available in 5.3.

ipv6_enable="YES" is defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, so you have to
define ipv6_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf to realize any change.

FYI, since I actively use IPv6, I can't really say what the above
definition will actually accomplish, but wanted to clear up what needed
to be defined in /etc/rc.conf.

To get rid of IPv6 completely (why would you want this? :) ), you should
definitely rebuild your kernel without INET6.

Building own installer DVD with customized packages bundle

[Nyoman]

Hi,
I want to build a DVD for release 5.3, so that I can have
bunch of packages in just one installer media.
I have read this two articles:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/index.html
so far the basic ideas that I grasp are:
- to make the list of 'wanted' packages, I should use as reference:
  src/release/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh
- do the actual splitting of the packages
  (that is, to only 1 DVD and 'scratch' directory),
  using the scripts available at ports/Tools/scripts/release/
  as base/reference.
but i have no experience before with creating ISO for FreeBSD,
so I want to know,..
- how do I incorporate the newly 'splitted' packages to the
  FreeBSD installer CD (i.e Disc 1 of 5.3 RELEASE)
- what else should I consider?
thanks a lot,
regards,
Guido

I followed the above howto word by word too and it didn't work from
the first try. So I made some searches, I think on pamldap or on
openldap mailing lists, don't remember exactly, and found another
explanation on how to set things up. As far as I remember, my problem
was with ldap.conf and nss_ldap.conf files which reside in
/usr/local/etc/. This files must be identical, so you may symlink
them, as I did. After that everything started to work, in my case ssh
through pam_ldap.

Unfortunately, my detailed configs are at work, so if you won't find
anything I'll post them on monday.

Some questions?
1. The set has just failed completely (sorry it isn't up and working
now) on the first reboot.  It is possible to bring the machine up from
the primary disk with no problems but any attempt to start the mirror
drive causes a panic with a "hardware error" although checking it with
bsdlabel shows the partition table is intact.  Any ideas?  the drive is
fine - i've pulled it and tested it and it's fine.  It's booting using
BootMgr.
I've killed it completely now by reloading the vinum config twice.  so
it's out of action permanently. 

I did make sure that there was enough space at the start of the disk for
the vinum info to survive.
2. Speed.  The vinum set is a "concat" disk.  The read performance was
really slow (visibly so).  Can you boot off a striped volume and will it
benefit me at all making it a striped volume at all rather than a

never have the availability comparable to hardware RAID (i mean,

From my own expirience, the same results as root vinum partition can be 
made easily:
1. Make a small partition on every drive in the system. 128 Megs from 
every drive will be enought.
2. Make each partition bootable, and every day (by cron job in least 
activity hour) make a dump/restore from the main root partition to all 
other.
3. usr, var and all other partitions must reside on vinum partition, 
using rest of the space on the partition.
4. Swap partitions must also be made on every drive.

You can easily boot up from every disk in the system, and it will be 
always configured propertly (assuming you don't change a lot in root 
filesystem every day).

The described configuration is used at least one year on my work, for 
the SCM system server.

The only problem can be that you can't hot-unplug the disk from which 
you are booted.
But it's really very few system's build on average PC hardware and 
doesn't allowed to went of to the 5-10 minutes. In any case, the RAID 
(even hardware) is not enought to make a system with less than 1 
hour/year offline.

Re: Call for help: -lkse (libkse trouble)

[klr]

I fixed this some days ago, edited the makefile @ usr src lib libpthread
and changed LIB=pthread to LIB=kse , then make all install.

Perhaps I ran into this problem because I installed from a 5.2.1 cd (5.3
over NFS) and did a minimal install.

Hope this helps someone in the future with this fishy problem..

Regards,

Hugo

Looking for a good NSS/Pam_LDAP/Open LDAP how-to for 5.x

[Jon Adams]

I tried this one:
http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/FreeBSD/docs/Quick_and_dirty_FreeBSD_5_x_and_nss_ldap_mini-HOWTO.html
and it emphatically does not work, and I followed it to the letter I 
think it has something to do with NSS only using SSL/port 636.

so then I tried it with that added still no dice

openssl 0.9.7e

[J.D. Bronson]

Has anyone been successful at building openssl 0.9.7e from src
on FreeBSD 5.3?
./config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/etc/ssl threads shared zlib
It will fail if I use 'shared' but build fine with static.
Last time a new version came out, I built it from src and then moved files 
where I needed to so I didnt have to remake the entire system.

It worked perfect...of course the last version did BUILD! :(

php mail() sendmail hanging

[Thomas S. Crum]

Pardon me if this is off list, but any help would be appreciated.

When hitting php pages that use the mail() function, I get a 5 second hang
in the browser.  The mail is then being delivered fine.

Many of the same scripts that use this mail function ran fine with ½ sec. or
less delay on my old redhat box. I am not blaming FreeBSD, as I'm certain I
just don’t have them configured the same.

Any fixes to make it run quicker would be greatly appreciated. I've included
the sendmail.mc and php.ini files below.

Best,

For example: 

# make WITH_TESTS=yes install clean

List of possible options is obtainable through reading the Makefile.

Passing options to configure / compiler

[Vittorio]

I couldn't find in the docs how to pass options to the configure script.

For instance, I'm compiling postgresql under FreeBSD 5.3 stable.
After 'cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7' and ' make' a list of 
configure options is shown; among them I'm interested in "WITH_TESTS"" 
but I do not know how  to pass this option to the compiler (or to 
configure).

Could you please help me?
