FreeBSD 5.3 and too many files open...
Hi, i run into a problem on a FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE Applicationserver (2GB of RAM, 4GB Swap, Dual XEON 3.06Ghz). The box serves the "xfrce4-panel" for 80 Network Clients via ssh so the Users can start OpenOffice.org and firefox from that panel. It is goin very well, except a message (and also a problem) i run into the last day. If i tried to open firefox from a networkclient and received the message "too many files open...". I saw that message on 3 different Network Clients and just after a fresh configure and the first time starting firfox on these Networkclients with that UID. I checked my configuration on the server about "openfiles": kern.openfiles:9306 kern.maxfiles:65536 netstat -m 3952 mbufs in use 732/64000 mbuf clusters in use (current/max) [...] "fstat" shows me 393 on User A and on User B 3459. I did not check the other users. kern.maxfilesperproc: 5898 kern.maxusers: 384 My /boot/loader.conf looks like: kern.maxfiles="65536" kern.ipc.nmbclusters=64000 kern.ipc.nmbufs=256000 kern.maxproc=8192 kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096 So i do not get it, imho the configuration is just fine, but why do i get the message "too many files open..."?

Going to 4.11 should be straightforward. Moving from 4.x to 5.3 is pretty complicated and a backup/reinstall is a better idea, so you can take full advantage of changes to the filesystem. The only time I have ever had a problem with a remote upgrade within the 4.x tree was when _I_ made a mistake. If you follow the handbook carefully, it should be fine. The procedure ensures you will have successfully completed the compilation of the base system (world) and kernel before either is installed. The only difference from the procedure in the handbook for a remote upgrade is that you would not boot into single user mode at any point, obviously, but instead do a normal reboot. Do read /usr/src/UPDATING, consider what you might need in /etc/make.conf and understand how mergemaster(8) works before starting.

problem burning 5.3-RELEASE Disc 2 from iso
Hello, I have have downloaded the 5.3-RELEASE four iso set from four different ftp sites including ftp.freebsd.org. Disc 2 does not burn, but the others do. The process hangs immediately when trying. I have tried this on both FreeBSD using burncd on an Acer CD-RW and Windows 2000 using Nero on a BenQ CD-RW with the same result. Has anybody successfully burned Disc 2?

This is because both XP and FreeBSD can easily get a primary partition this way, and because - to my mind - lilo is a good boot manager to start all three os. Thus, install Linux at last, and install lilo into the MBR. I don't know grub but I guess, lilo can still be used with SuSE.

I hope Hello, Thanks for the reply. I had tried that and kept getting the "invalid format" error. I am puzzled by the fact that I can get a directory list, but the boot loader thinks the format is wrong. Also it seems to be looking in /kernel and not /boot/kernel/. To work around the Disk 2 problem, I downloaded FreeSBIE and ran fsck from that. / reports as clean, but the box still does not boot. /usr and /home report HUGE numbers of uncorrectable errors and bad blocks. Tonight I am going to run SpinRite on the disk to see if the power outage really damaged the disk. (If it did, this will be the first time since the MFM/RLL disk days!) I will report the result of that test. Right now, I am thinking a power loss shutdown of 5.3 makes a system unrecoverable, but more of these tests are required before reaching that conclusion.

Installation Order for Win XP Pro, SuSE 9.2, & FreeBSD 5.3
I intend to re-install multiple operating systems onto a box which already has Win XP Pro and SuSE 9.2. After some thought, I've decided to add FreeBSD 5.3 and, in addition, change the Win XP Pro filesytem from NTFS to FAT32 to facilitate file- sharing. If I understand what I've been reading, I should be able to modify both the Linux and FreeBSD kernels to read and/or write ext2fs and UFS1 data as well. I'm prepared to clear the harddrive and start from scratch and I question whether or not there is a prescribed order for installation. I understand that Windows has a habit of overwriting data in the MBR and installing its' own loader so the recommendation is to load it first. Whether, Linux or FreeBSD is next I'm not sure and would welcome your input. I realize that there are third-party bootloaders available, but I have a feeling that I can learn more about these systems if I work with what they offer. I have a 120GB Western Digital HD, an ASUS P4P800-VM motherboard, and a Pentium 2.8GHz CPU. This is not currently my primary box, but who knows what may happen in the near future. Thanks in advance.

4.11 without nameserver: "NO_BIND=true" is OK?
Hi, I'm running 4.10 on a very old pentium-1: CPU: Pentium/P5 (57.58-MHz 586-class CPU) I have cvsup'ed the sources to 4.11, but I want to shorten the build world/kernel time. I have following in my /etc/make.conf: CFLAGS= -O -pipe NOPROFILE=true NO_PF=true NO_LPR=true NO_MODULES=true NO_BLUETOOTH=true NO_USB=true NO_VINUM=true NO_NIS=true NOGAMES=true NO_BIND=true This machine will not run a nameserver; it will query external nameservers for hostname resolution. Is the "NO_BIND=true" is that case? I ask this here, because I don't want to compile for days, and then end up with a not-working world compilation. Would you recommend any other make.conf settings?

Re: Anthony's drive issues.Re: ssh password delay
Duo writes: > And, herein lies the main and core behavioral issue at play: He is upset, > because he is used to a system, which is more apt to fail "open", than > fail "closed". It's more complex than that: (1) I don't know if anything is failing or not, because the messages output by FreeBSD are undocumented, and nobody here has been able to tell me anything about what they mean. The mere output of messages does not necessarily indicate a failure. And unless someone can tell me what they mean, they are worse than useless to me. Why write an OS to output messages that are completely undocumented and unintelligible? That's even worse than not putting out any messages at all. It doesn't help anyone because nobody knows what the messages mean. (2) Unlike Windows NT, FreeBSD freezes the process doing the I/O when these messages appear, sometimes for 30 seconds or so, or longer. Windows NT never froze in that way. (3) Unlike Windows NT, FreeBSD occasionally crashes after printing the messages. Windows NT never crashed in that way. If you think these messages indicate a hardware failure, they you should be able to tell me exactly what they mean. Conversely, if you cannot tell me exactly what they mean, you don't know if they indicate a hardware failure or not--you're just guessing, like everyone else here. The behavior I'm seeing in FreeBSD strongly resembles that of a system that is encountering a hardware idiosyncrasy that it doesn't know how to deal with. I'm not at all convinced that there is a hardware problem. Looking at the messages gives me the impression that FreeBSD is attempting something that is not supported by the hardware, and simply takes for granted that it will work, and then gets confused when it doesn't. But I don't really know for sure, because nothing is documented, and nobody here knows anything. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That OpenSSH package can be installed via an installer to provide OpenSSH using a minimal requisite cygwin environment. The OpenSSH server can be run as a Windows service. Like the original poster, I wanted a way of using a Windows system remotely from FreeBSD. In my case, it was so I could remotely admin and troubleshoot a friend's Windows 2000 PC. As well as using the OpenSSH for Windows mentioned above, I used TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/) for the VNC server on Windows and for the client on FreeBSD (installed via the net/tightvnc port). I restrict the VNC server to accept connections only from localhost, and use an SSH tunnel to encrypt all the VNC traffic between the two systems. (I can even start and stop the VNC server service remotely by issuing a "net start winvnc" and "net stop winvnc" via SSH to start and stop it, respectively.) I've found the setup to work well in practice.

You need to run: # make config in the databases/phpmyadmin directory and *uncheck* the option for MYSQLI. Then you should be able to install successfully.

Hi Chris, I knew that diagram was going to juggled.sorry. All the IP addresses were assigned by DHCP. I did not do anything manually. I do have good news though. I am going to follow this guide. Thanks to the other person who suggested it. http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/fbsd_installguide/index.php I have read it and even though I am using 5.3, it seems to make sense to me to do it step by step this way. So instead of trying to setup a stand alone work station to learn on, I will make it a gateway router. Thats what I wanted to do in the first place. As a matter of fact, a couple of years ago someone on Linuxhelp (radiogeo.good ole George), helped me setup a Slackware router/firewall box out of a 486DX 50. It worked great. My main computer took a dump and I never hooked the router back up when the box was built. So after a couple of years I am back at trying this UNIX thing. I'll let you know how its going from time to time if thats ok. I have only one question about this. If I still want to use my wireless router as a switch.will it work?

Yes. NAT is not working yet. With ipnat_enable="YES" you've just enabled ipnat but you didn't tell it what to do yet. Something like this would do: > map dc0 192.168.1.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp auto# NAT for LAN +port > mapping > map dc0 192.168.1.0/24 -> 0/32 # NAT for LAN (icmp) But keep in mind I no longer use ipfilter/ipnat.

emergent msdosfs problems, errors
Hello FreeBSD Collective Consciousness, I run a dual-boot FreeBSD 6.0-Current/WinXP Pro system. The FreeBSD NTFS driver can't write files, and can only read files less than 2GB in size, so I have been using a FAT32 disk (Drive D:) mounted using mount_msdosfs successfully for several years for file transfer between the FreeBSD and WinXP "personalities" of my system. Just recently, after some hardware changes in my machine (new SATA disks for the FreeBSD personality) and rebuilding of world and kernel, the MSDOS file system has become unreliable, with directories and files mixed up, and "find ." broken with various error messages. Also, fsck_msdosfs complains about bad signatures in the boot block. After a clean reboot, doing "find ." on the FAT32 disk works without errors. Running "tar" to try to create a backup of the FAT32 disk fails, though, and after that "find ." returns errors "find: fts_read: No such file or directory" and files and directories on the FAT32 disk appear to be mixed up or corrupted. In the WinXP world, the FAT32 disk is just fine, thank you. All this is new behavior, things have been working for several years. I think the FreeBSD msdosfs driver is failing somehow. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Switching to a text terminal via a SSH session to iLO can, for example, be done by assigning CTRL-ALT-F1 to say CTRL-T in iLO itself.

/usr/src/Makefile.inc1 that were quickly fixed on the RELENG_5 branch
but never included back into the RELENG_5_3 branch.
I grabbed those two files from the FreeBSD CVS repository via the web
interface, just after the fix for this problem. I moved them into
/usr/src and they seem to work fine. The functional Makefile is
version 1.306.2.1 and Makefile.inc1 is version 1.438.2.5.
I'm including a shar file containing the diffs between my
5.3-RELEASE-p5 system and those files, hopefully it'll be useful to
other folks.

Do you mean that you have your system set to load X immediately upon booting, and that you do not set the keyboard repeat rate before then? If so, put the following in /etc/rc.conf: keyrate="fast" And all should be well. Also note that you do not need to be root to issue that command. I need to do this command a lot when I reboot a machine on my KVM, because it registers as a keyboard disconnect which fouls up the keyboard settings, and having to su root each time would be rather annoying.

8-bit characters anyone?
I have an odd problem. I can't get any 8-bit characters to show up after an upgrade. On the console nothing happens after I run kbdmap and choose Swedish ISO-8859-1. It just beeps, and prints the non-Swedish characters like before. In KDE, after having added my own xmodmap to the .xinitrc file, I though that they might appear. No such luck. Even after setting the keyboard layout on Control Panel/Regional/Keyboard Layout to Swedish do they not appear. Oddly enough, in emacs everything looks like it should!

It's wireless and works with a USB key style receiver. While FreeBSD recognized it (as I noticed it deactivate the port after I yanked it out) it doesn't seem to like to use it and it locks up the keyboard (I suspect some kinda IRQ conflict. While this problem is solved, if any one has any ideas how I can get the mouse to work (Targus PAWM004 wireless) it would be greatly appreciated.
