How to upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3 with only remote access
Hi I'm sure there must be documentation on this, but I just can't find it. Plenty of stuff on upgrading from 4.x to 5.3, but nothing on upgrading from 5.2.1 The situation is that I have a remote, leased server running 5.2.1. I have ssh access only, no console access or terminal server, so anything involving single user mode is not an option. I believe the original installation was a binary installation, though I have since installed some of the source (using sysinstall) so that I could customise the kernel. What is the most sensible way to set about performing this upgrade? Is it even possible?

fsck locks up SMP system (5.3-REL)
Hi, I have a problem with fsck. After a lockup of X.org I couldn't use my keyboard anymore and I had to reset the computer. When it rebooted fsck didn't start immediately, but started after the login in the background. After some checks fsck stops working but stays a running process (in getblk state). Everything seems normal then but when I start X, after a while the system locks up again and I have to reset the machine again. If I don't start X but shutdown from the console it doesn't shut down because some processes couldn't be killed, and the only option is to reset.

I don't know about the other dynamic dns services, but ZoneEdit (http://www.zoneedit.com/) is free up to a very reasonable traffic level - never cost me a nickel until I wanted backup mail service, and I've even cranked the TTL down a little on my zone records. I can't remember offhand what a traffic unit cost, probably because I found it minimal at best. They also have a web based interface you can have your dhcp hooks call through lynx to automagically reset your IP on their end anytime you get renumbered. Since I've cranked my zone TTL down a bit, it's usually a matter of minutes until the records get out to the farthest reaches. Granted, if I were renumbered every week, I'd probably hit the threshold on free service more often. As for rejected email, I just have zoneedit act as the lowest priority MX for my domains and anytime something can't get sent to my system because I've been renumbered, zoneedit will spend up to 10 days trying to relay it in - which usually turns into a matter of a couple hours at most, since they find out where I am pretty quick. I've been using zoneedit for longer than I can remember - since my 4.3 install at least, with both cable/DHCP and DSL/PPP, and the only time I ever know I've been renumbered is when I check my logs.

Re: Running own servers
On 12/21/04 11:12 PM, RL sat at the `puter and typed: SNIP What's the most popular option? Is it buying a business DSL or T1 service or is it to colocate it? All of them are pricey. :( That really depends on your desired level of service. If you're running servers for commercial purposes or even very ambitious personal purposes, you may be happy with a hosting company. They're getting a lot more reasonable than static IPs. Can't understand why because they usually *provide* a static IP, often dedicated to your account. Someone I work with uses openhosting.com, and says they're pretty good. He runs a mail server and web server on a virtual Linux system with its own IP. He also does mail forwarding for an NPO and has a few email accounts, mostly for friends. Since it's a virtual system, he essentially has root access and can install whatever software he wants in his own 'system'. I run a mail server with 4 family accounts, a webserver (currently just the Apache test page) and Tomcat out of my own back room in my apartment. I never did anything overly fancy, no commercial stuff, but at one point I did put up a few Apache Perl modules I wrote and lots of family pics available only to those with a password. Eventually I'll get around to doing some real fun stuff with it, but until then, it's just that. Maybe someday I'll break down and go with a hosting company, but right now I'm perfectly happy with the setup I have. If you're going to be putting up commercial pages and driving traffic to it, trust me, you want someone else bargaining for that bandwidth. Your ISP will kick back *hard* if they see your bandwidth spike to that degree. As for the Colo, that's not really a one man band kind of option. My employer has colocation services all over the planet, and they pay quite a bit for it. They're getting a good deal, but that's because they pay for so many. One system, or even a switch and a few systems is going to cost a lot more. You might as well get FTTP from Verizon and go with a small addition to your house to host it. It may cost a little more than the colo in the short run, but in the long run, you still have the addition.

I just called my cable modem ISP (adelphia) and they said a static IP address is $130 per month!! Forget that! Now what are my other options? I do have a dynDNS address for my dynamic IP, but I can't run a DNS server and do reverse DNS with that. :( Well, that's news to me. I guess it was just a matter of time before cable providers started offering static IP. Even so, you're probably best off shopping around a bit, although you most likely won't find anything that's $40/mo., but who knows? One advantage of going with a smaller provider with a good reputation is that your IP won't be blacklisted (or there is much less likelihood of it). One problem with so many people running servers these days is that you don't know who to trust, so whole IP blocks of major ISPs end up being blacklisted, and not just the dynamic blocks, but this is more likely to happen if the ISP is careless about spam. If you're going to go through with it and spend the extra money, make sure to do some research and get a good IP with a reputable company. Comcast/ATT/MediaOne has been offering static IPs for a few years. They've just never advertised them very thoroughly - and with good reason, they're not the least bit competitive with the other options out there. I've always suspected that they just don't want to do it so they mask in a hassle surcharge. Even if your IP block is blacklisted, as MOST dynamic blocks are, decent ISPs often have their own relays. Even if it's not an open relay (which hopefully it isn't) you can set up sendmail or postfix to do the authentication and relay through your ISP. This works fine for me. As for other options, you're kinda stuck with the problems of reverse dns, except if your IP isn't released for a long time, but then you're sort of gambling. Anyway, it's kind of a drag, I remember a time not long ago when static IPs with shell accounts on dialup were cheap, but now that so many people have broadband, you really have to pony up a bit of extra cash to get your IP out of the swamp of IP blocks full of zombied machines. But you can always do some testing on your own to see what would work for you. That still assumes rDNS is critical. It's not for lots of things. Even commercial ventures often gloss over the rDNS side of DNS administration.

Re: How to upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3 with only remote access
Try this on for size.

Plenty of stuff on upgrading from 4.x to 5.3, but nothing on upgrading from 5.2.1 The situation is that I have a remote, leased server running 5.2.1. I have ssh access only, no console access or terminal server, so anything involving single user mode is not an option. I believe the original installation was a binary installation, though I have since installed some of the source (using sysinstall) so that I could customise the kernel. What is the most sensible way to set about performing this upgrade? Is it even possible?

strange routing
I have a friend who has set up a FreeBSD box (called Atlantis) as a router between his LAN and the Internet. It connects to the Internet and can make and receive connections ok (eg I can ssh in from outside, and he can ssh out), but other computers on the network can't connect out through it. The strange thing is that when the default route on Atlantis is set to the old router he has and this is used to connect to the Internet, other computers on the network can connect out to the Internet. Trace route confirms the connection is going via Atlantis then the old router. The IP address of Atlantis is 192.168.0.71 and the IP address of the old router is 192.168.101 Here are some bits a pices that might be usefull: NOT VIA OLD ROUTER: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %netstat -r -f inet Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default212.104.130.202UGS 0 456 tun0 localhost localhost UH 0 11lo0 192.168.0 link#1 UC 00 sis0 192.168.0.100:0c:6e:fa:17:cd UHLW0 845 sis0 1024 192.168.0.200:01:03:86:8d:3e UHLW0 28 sis0 1000 212.104.130.20282.152.149.159 UH 18 tun0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %ifconfig sis0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 192.168.0.71 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::2d0:9ff:fe85:c328%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:d0:09:85:c3:28 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active plip0: flags=108810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 82.152.149.159 -- 212.104.130.202 netmask 0x Opened by PID 413 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %uname -a FreeBSD atlantis.pegasus 5.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #2: Tue Dec 21 22:22:43 GMT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 VIA OLD ROUTER: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %netstat -r -f inet Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.0.101 UGS 0 436 sis0 localhost localhost UH 07lo0 192.168.0 link#1 UC 00 sis0 192.168.0.100:0c:6e:fa:17:cd UHLW0 434 sis0947 192.168.0.200:01:03:86:8d:3e UHLW03 sis0903 192.168.0.101 00:e0:18:76:f7:7f UHLW10 sis0984 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %ifconfig sis0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 192.168.0.71 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::2d0:9ff:fe85:c328%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:d0:09:85:c3:28 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active plip0: flags=108810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] %sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 A TRACEROUT FROM ANTHER MACHINE (when using old router): C:\Documents and Settings\Paultracert www.bbc.co.uk Tracing route to www.bbc.net.uk [212.58.224.121] over a maximum of 30 hops: 11 ms1 ms1 ms 192.168.0.71 2 9 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.101 316 ms15 ms15 ms 212.104.130.202 416 ms18 ms15 ms 81.5.191.113 516 ms16 ms17 ms ge1-1-core4.th.eclipse.net.uk [81.5.191.2] 617 ms16 ms15 ms 212.58.238.209 717 ms15 ms16 ms 212.58.238.153 819 ms19 ms18 ms www21.thdo.bbc.co.uk [212.58.224.121] Trace complete.

You can run fetchmail -v to see where you get stuck. This is an example for googles gmail, using SSL poll pop.gmail.com protocol POP3 timeout 60 no dns user gmailname password gmailpassword ssl is homdirowner here, options fetchall fetchlimit 0 If you are new to all this MTA, MUA and SMTP thing, you could consider to use Pine. mutt is nice but as a beginner Pine is probably easier to understand and configure than mutt. Ah! If you want to learn to use Mutt, learn to use Mutt. Now that you've got an idea of how to setup fetchmail, you'll want to create a ~/.muttrc file. There are many, many sample .muttrc files online; Google is your friend. This is the example I worked from when I first setup Mutt: http://www.hserus.net/muttrc.html All I had to do to get Mutt working with ssmtp was to tell Mutt to use ssmtp in ~/.muttrc set sendmail=/path/to/ssmtp HTH, -- Joshua Lokken Open Source Advocate ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All of them are pricey. :( Depending on where you are, you may have other options as well. I'm in the Philadelphia, PA, area. I have a somewhat non-standard DSL arrangement that works very well for me. Verizon supplies the wire and the DSL signal (as well as my local phone service), but I use someone else--a so-called Verizon partner ISP--as my ISP. My ISP handles all the billing, and they will give me up to 5 static IP addresses. (I currently use 2.) I provide my own forward DNS, SMTP and HTTP services. My ISP has no problem providing me with DNS PTR records for the assigned IPs; doing a dig -x on the address returned for my domain's MX address yields a PTR record that refers back to my domain. If, for some reason, I want to change the PTR record, I simply drop them an email; they usually take care of it within in hour or so. If I want another static IP address, the procedure and turnaround time are comparable. There *is* a small price for this extra functionality: I pay about $10-$15 more per month than if I were to go with a native Verizon DSL set up. I pay $44.95/month for 1.5Mbps/384Kbps ADSL. For native Verizon, a month-to-month plan is $34.95/mo, and a plan with a 1-year commitment is $29.95/month. But Verizon will not give me static IPs for that price; the extra monthly cost is worth it to me. I have had this arrangment for almost 5 years; 5 years ago, the monthly cost was higher and the bandwidth was lower. The cost and bandwidth have only improved over time. Shop around, if you can. There may be other providers of DSL service in your area who provide more enlightened service options.

Someone broke the silence: Hello! I have an offer for you. Now access to the Internet with use of satellites gets the big popularity. For such type of access it is necessary to use special DVB-cards like SkyStar-1 and SkyStar-2. First of them is supported by FreeBSD (due to foreign people), but second (cheaper and popular) is not. Can you include official support for this cards in the next FreeBSD releases? :-D Please! I have used direcway satellite internet systems in the past. Their support were only for Windows at that time I used direcway. I learned that for open source support, it would depend on getting cooperation from the vendors for the FreeBSD developers to be able to support a device.

Most probably the DHCP- negotiation failed. You don't tell who your ISP is. DHCP-configurations may differ from ISP to ISP. You will have to configure your /etc/dhclient.conf I guess, e.g. with (amongst others) send host-name your-hostname-known-by-ISP. (man 5 dhclient.conf). After configuring it, retyry DHCP: # dhclient fxp0 ping freebsd.org ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure. Right. If DHCP from your cable ISP failes, most probably your /etc/resolve.conf will not be modified/added. And therefor lookups will fail.

Install CD howto and some amd64 issue
Hi, I've found a Japanese mirror, where some 5.0-STABLE packages can be found, and I'd like to build an own install disc, rather than using CVSup. Could You help me, please, how can I do that? I've got two reasons for building own install disc: 1, I'm going to administer an amd64 server with a RAID5 array and an MSI mainboard with nforce 3 250GB chipset, and unfortunately the official 5.3-RELEASE for amd64 doesn't boot on this machine. I don't know whether the chipset causes this issue or the 3ware 8xxx controller, but the loader stops at the line starting with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, I've written to the freebsd-hardware mailing list, but I haven't got any answers. I've also written to the 3ware, but the supporter was rather a lame guy, he haven't even understood, what my problem is. I've written to MSI, but the result is no answer. Finally, I decided to get a newer kernel somehow, maybe some kind of current kernel would work. I'd like to give a try to 5.0-CURRENT or 6.0-CURRENT, but in this case I can't use the CVSup, because the 5.3 kernel is useless on this machine, thus I haven't got anything to upgrade from. 2, I'd like to install 5.0-STABLE on some machines, and I don't want to upgrade so many times. An own standalone 5.0-CURRENT install disc would be much more convenient for me. And in trouble, when I had to reinstall the system, such a disc would be very useful. Thanks for Your help.

The FreeBSD Foundation
I am not sure if this is really the proper place for this or if it has been discussed however this is something that I'm sure deserves as much exposure as possible. As some of you may or may not know the FreeBSD Foundation supports the FreeBSD developers financially via funds mainly from donations from the public. Anyway there is a IRS 1/3rd test for public support and the current foundation ratio that is a little out of whack due to a few generous people donating large sums of money. I have no idea what will happen if they cannot remain a public charity but I'm sure the affects wont be positive as they clearly stated that it is in there interest to remain a public charity. I'm in no position to be shelling out lots of money right now but I'm going to do my part and I would hope that some of you chip in as well. from my understanding they need a larger number of people donating a smaller amount to correct the ratio. More information can be found on the freebsdfoundation.org website or here is direct link to the newsletter: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/press/20041221-newsletter.shtml p.s.

As for rejected email, I just have zoneedit act as the lowest priority MX for my domains and anytime something can't get sent to my system because I've been renumbered, zoneedit will spend up to 10 days trying to relay it in - which usually turns into a matter of a couple hours at most, since they find out where I am pretty quick. I've been using zoneedit for longer than I can remember - since my 4.3 install at least, with both cable/DHCP and DSL/PPP, and the only time I ever know I've been renumbered is when I check my logs. I don't get reports of email that I never received either. Another option for e-mail, that I'm just investigating myself, is to use an ODMR (on-demand mail relay) service like MailKeep ( http://www.mailkeep.com ). I just set up a 30 day free trial account with them. I set up my domain on their site, identified them as my primary MX, and initiated an ODMR transfer with fetchmail. I have it set up to do 'direct SMTP', which means that if my mail server is up mail is delivered immediately. The benefit of a service like this is that you tell it what your mail server says in its banner, and if it doesn't see that text it won't deliver the mail (it stays queued on their server). That way it won't accidentally deliver your mail to someone else. The way that you tell it what your mail server IP is is by initiating an ODMR session with your username and password, which you have to do at least once a day, again as a verification measure so it's really sure it's delivering mail to the right party. That's easily cron-able. It is a pay service but it's much more reasonable than a static IP (at least in my area), and if you don't like taking the gamble that you're going to lose mail it may be worth it to you. -- Danny ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Support for PERC4e/Di and 4e/Si
Martin and all,
Thanks for your help. I found a patch in the freebsd-stable mailing
list archive that adds the PCI-IDs to amr_pci.c. For some reason the
patch would not apply correctly to my 4.10-stable-20040818-jpsnap
source, but I was able to make the changes manually and compile a new
kernel. The new kernel recognized the PERC4e/Di and PERC4e/Si, and the
amr driver loaded and worked with the newer PERCs. For everyone's

have you tried booting from the first CD. I think the floppy based
kernel is cut down a little to save space, so it may not have the
required driver on it.
If you can't boot from the CD (like bios won't support it), you'll have
to build you own floppy images with the perc 4e driver in that kernel.
See the hnadbook for how to do this..

I don't know much about wireless technology or setting it up on FreeBSD, however, you're likely to be asked Why 5.0? It is no longer supported, and is quite old.

By the way, if you install gtar, you just type tar as you normally would. With Gnu tar *or* BSD tar, you will need a '-P' option to extract directories that contain '..'.

The 440BX chipset has full support for ACPI and therefore should work with FreeBSD and is a critical problem, what do you think might happen if you disable all your fans on your computer???.
