logging
Hello, I have a server with FreeBSD running on it. I also run mldonkey on that server. Sometimes it doesn't start up because there is something wrong (mosrt of the time someone plugged the power cable out of the pc while it was running) For some securtiy reason mldonkey doesn't start up and I have to delete some files. I have no keyboard or monitor on my server. Each time this happens I have to get a monitor and a keyboard and that costs a lot of time. I start mlmdonkey with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d Can I see in a log file what was the output of the scripts in rc.d? If there is I can remotely acces my server with ssh and let everything work.

Re: scaning the local network with arping/sh script
Hi, Did you check http://www.enderunix.org/knowlan/ ? What is Knowlan? Knowlan is ARP protocol based Local Area Network IP and MAC Adress Extractor. Knowlan uses libpcap and libnet libraries for to be simple to handle and to have a simple code for any interestor to deal with the code. To describe knowlan overally, Knowlan, sends ARP REQUEST packets to the LAN, and at the same time, It recieves ARP REPLY packets from the up machines.

acpi, wi0 and apm.
I have a problem with my WaveLAN. It works fine when I boot my FreeBSD 5.4-RC3 with acpi disabled.

Thanks Alex. Ettercap is a nice tool but I don't run X on my Gateway/Servers. I was looking for a port/package that runs from console. Seems that I forgot to mention that in my post.

RE: Where to find good/cheap tech support
You seem to be making assumptions and are looking into this to deeply my friend. But thanks for the feedback anyway :) - The $150 was only an arbitrary number thats common in the field. I could have chosen another number. It would not have mattered, the question would have been the same. - The SCSI adapter is an Adaptec Ultra320 built into a $3000+ 1U web server and not a common inexpensive controller. Since it works fine for both RedHat and Windows we are probably going to go with another OS on this server other than FreeBSD. Why arm wrestle the situation when no one seems to know the solution to our issue. - And I am in a VERY small company that could barely pay for what we just purchased. We where lucky to get what we did and the idea of having a duplicate is wishful thinking and not realistic, so thats a risk we will have to take until we can afford better solutions. Its not the perfect situation but its the best we can do with what we have. I would love a new house but the cold numbers dictate what's really possible right now. - Now if your interested in the problem, here is the support issue/question no one seems to have any clue about. - I am attempting to install FreeBSD 5.3 onto a new server, but during the initial bootup it fails / times out from what I think is it trying to initialize the SCSI adapter. The server has an Adaptec AIC-7902 dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller which the i386 ahd(4) driver has listed as a supported device. - I have been reading and searching this lists archives as well as the bsdforums.org site for possible solutions, but so far what I have found has not worked. I have tried disabling/enabling ACPI, removing all but one SCSI drive and re-checking the adapter settings comparing them to a different Adaptec controller on another server running FreeBSD 5.3 which works fine. The servers BIOS and firmware is all up to date and is mainly running on its default settings. - Here is a summary of what I am seeing during bootup: - Ata1-master : FAILURE ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle ---Dump Card State Ends--- (probe29:ahd1:0:15:0) SCB0xe timed out ahd0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset 4 SCBs aborted - Any ideas? Thanks for what help you can give.

Why are you so hung up on the billing rate? Problems with Windows take much longer to fix than problems with FreeBSD, so your going to end up paying the same total amount. And if you rate your technical help solely by the amount of money they charge you are destined to get cheap but poor help that will cost more in the long run. And that is true whether your talking about fixing a computer or fixing a car. I am having a SCSI controller boot problem that no one seems to be able to help on It is economically foolish to pay for 3 hours at $20 for a SCSI controller that costs $60. If your having a booting problem then buy replacement hardware. but I am also thinking of the future if there is an emergency and I can't afford to have a server down for days at a time. If your business is that critical you should have a fully configured and ready to go duplicate of your server, switched off and sitting next to the production one. This is true no matter what the operating system in use. And I've seen plenty of Windows server that took days of time to fix.

Re: It keeps CRrrASHING!!
The date on your distribution is April 13, but if you check the FreeBSD site (http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html#event20050418:01) you'll see that 5.4-RC3 is now available. Maybe you want to try that? You might also want to double check the hardware list - Pentium 120 is a pretty old system, isn't it? I have 2 PIII systems I'm trying to get rid of myself (400 440 Mhz). I don't have time to waste waiting for them anymore. Regardless, as recommended in the handbook (here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#STABLE), for the STABLE branch, you might want to go to the freebsd-stable list (check here: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable). The -questions list is generally (though not always strictly) geared toward questions regarding the latest RELENG_* branches, not STABLE. Personally, I hadn't even realized the release candidates were out, so I'm actually glad you did post here :) I'm hoping to see improved USB 2.0 support.

Re: zSQLgate fails with 'Undefined symbol pthread_create'
Hello! Just for the next guy looking for a solution to this in the archives - To get zSQLgate working on FreeBSD 4.11, I had to build the net/yaz port without threads support. To achieve this, I added '--disable-threads' to the port's Makefile. I'm not sure what causes it, because the yaz port seems to correctly pick up the necessary -pthread compiler option. However, when you later try to load libyazthread.so.2, you get error messages such as 'Undefined symbol pthread_create' or 'Undefined symbol pthread_mutex_lock' After adding '--disable-threads' I no longer get these errors and zSQLgate seems to start successfully. -- Toomas Aas |arvutivõrgu peaspetsialist | head specialist on computer networks| |Tartu Linnakantselei | Tartu City Office | - +372 736 1274 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Filesystem Tuning Recommendations
I'm attempting to build a FBSD 5.4 box running MythTV. The box has a 160 gb drive I want to use for nothing more than storing recorded shows. Since the files are likely to be several gigabytes in size, what are some suggested tuning parameters for this file system. I assume it's UFS2 (the default?) as I did nothing to change that. I've read 'man tunefs' and suspect the two options I should change are 'maximum blocks' and 'average filesize'. So without really understanding the consequences, I changed them: tv# tunefs -p /tv tunefs: ACLs: (-a) disabled tunefs: MAC multilabel: (-l) disabled tunefs: soft updates: (-n) enabled tunefs: maximum blocks per file in a cylinder group: (-e) 6400 tunefs: average file size: (-f)51200 tunefs: average number of files in a directory: (-s) 64 tunefs: minimum percentage of free space: (-m) 8% tunefs: optimization preference: (-o) time tunefs: volume label: (-L) This seemed to help some because I used to get a encoder dma not enough buffer space free error on /dev/cxm0 and now that's gone away so I assume disk access is faster. But what parameter would be optimum for my purpose? Also there is some suggestion on the mythtv-users list that file sizes greater than 4 gb are not allowed. What is the limit as far as FBSD UFS2 is concerned? Thanks for your advice!

Bootable CD with Custom Kernel
Is it possible to create a bootable CD with a custom kernel for FreeBSD? I maintain several servers in remote locations and rather than drive whenever there is an update, I would prefer to just simply send the offices a bootable CD with the new software. So, all they would have to do is restart the server with the new CD and the software/operating system/whatever is updated. On the CD I can see having the kernel, /sbin and /bin directories, with the remainder of the directories (i.e. /var, /etc, etc.) remaining on the hard drive. I'd appreciate any direction anyone can give me regarding this. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

OpenLDAP 2.2.25 and FreeBSD 5.3 - group names and gid's
Hello, I am having some problems with OpenLDAP 2.2.25 and FreeBSD 5.3. I can currently authenticate against my ldap db, and utilities like id and chown work with no problem. The problem is gid to group name mapping. In my ldif files, I can have a uid entry and a uidNumber entry. It would look something like this: uid: testuser uidNumber: 2001 and that works. I cannot have a group entry of the same. gid: testgroup gidNumber: 2001 OpenLDAP would complain that it couldnt read this file properly.. not until the gid:testgroup entry was removed. When I attempt to use an app like chown I have to specify the actual gid number, eg: chown -R testuser:2001 /home/testuser I was wondering if anyone had found a way to have it so that you could just enter it by name, and not by number. eg: chown -R testuser:testgroup /home/testuser Obviously I would have to add a gid entry in my schema file, but I am left wondering why this isnt already in there.. I dont want to spend a few hours trying to re-invent the wheel when there is already a reason for it to not be in there. Any help or light on this situation is deeply appreciated.

Re: how to mark a slice bootable using command line
I'm still stuck with this.. C'mon folks, there must be someone who knows how to do sysinstalls 'Set Bootable' command using command line. It all comes down to: I got four slices containing a FreeBSD installation. I can only boot the first. Hitting F2, F3 or F4 in the bootmanager gives me a beep, nothing more. If I run sysinstall, choose Configure, Fdisk, da0, hit the 'S' key (Set Bootable) once for every slice and write those Changes I can boot into any of those installations. Now I have read the man pages for fdisk and bsdlabel a couple of times, still I cannot figure out how to set this bootable flag using those tools (not that I didn't try all kinds of things like writing bootstrap code, setting active partitions, etc...). There must be a way to do this without sysinstall!? Sadly my knowledge in C is more than limited... I can see that sysinstall does 'chunk_info[current_chunk]-flags |= CHUNK_ACTIVE;' when I hit the S key but that's about it. Any pointer would be very much appreciated.

Everything goes fine, except, I cannot boot from any slice other then the first (F1 entry in bootman). Any other choice will simply have the speaker beep. Obviously the slices are not marked bootable. Now if I launch sysinstall and choose Configure, Fdisk, da0, I can set the bootable flag to those four slices. Obviously, in sysinstall this is somehow linked to being the active slice, since it shows an 'A' next to the slice and only one A can be set at a time. So I tried to use `fdisk -a -2` to setting slice 2 bootable, without success. Also tried to set the slice bootable by using the -B switch to disklabel, also, without success. Furthermore I cannot figure out any difference to the output of fdisk and disklabel after using sysinstall, other than my slice of choice if now bootable. So... how can I set this bootable flag by using command line tools like fdisk and disklabel without the need of user input. Sadly the handbook refers only to sysinstall...

Since three days ago, it has been crashing regularly, leaving me with no choice but to shut it off and back on. I have absolutely no idea what might be wrong. The server has a lot of free HD space. It ain't experiencing no overload that I'm aware of. Everything should be smooth. Maybe it's the network interface. Or the fact that I just replaced IPFW with PF. Because this only seems to happen when I surf the net and download stuff from the workstation behind it. Set the system up for saving crashdumps, as described in §11.1 of the developers handbook. That might give the developers a better idea what's wrong. Make sure the hardware is OK. There are some old chipsets (RZ1000?) that are a known source of problems. Check the mailing list archives. Run memtest86 to check the RAM. Check if PCI cards are properly seated and if cables aren't loose. If you suspect the network interface, try another network card and see whether the problems disappear. If returning to IPFW fixes the problem, it might well be a problem with PF of with your ruleset.

Re: Where to find good/cheap tech support
I've actually seen the ATAPI_TIMEOUT problems before, but not with an Adaptec SCSI card. I thought I wrote up about it here: http://www.mostlygeek.com/node/22 but looks like I didn't bother mentioning the ATAPI_TIMEOUT problems. Oops. I think I'll have to update it. First of all, does the system boot in Safe Mode? If it does (mine did), and the solution I found to the ATAPI_TIMEOUT problem was to compile a kernel based on the PAE configuration (without the PAE option). I'm not sure what exactly fixes it but give that a try. My system would hang on ATAPI_TIMEOUT, but booted in Safe Mode. The new kernel has been running stable for weeks, no problems, rock solid. Ben.

named/AAAA/resolver not failing correctly with CNAME
Starting last week, queries for domains are not failing correctly when the domain being looked up is a CNAME for an A record. Instead of getting back a response indicating there is no record, the resolver continues to look for a record until a timeout (a minute or so), where it then switches to looking for an A record, which is found immediately (as a CNAME). I'm using named (8.3.7, default nameserver) on 4.11, and as far as I can tell haven't changed anything that would have caused this behavior. If I switch resolv.conf to use the ISP's nameserver, I get a correct response, so the fails immediately and the resolver moves on to an A query, where it connects. Nothing useful shows up in the named logs, and I'm at a loss of what I changed that causes this strange behavior. To generate these requests, I simply do: telnet www.43things.com 80 Connecting with a TCP Socket via Ruby does the same thing: ruby -rsocket -e 'TCPSocket.open(www.43things.com, 80).close' Note that www.43things.com is a CNAME for 43things.com: $ host www.43things.com www.43things.com is a nickname for 43things.com 43things.com has address 65.61.137.67 43things.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.43things.com I have the same problem with, for example docs.freebsd.org but not www.freebsd.org. The only thing I've changed on the nameserver is adding a few unrelated zones in named.conf, and an upgrade from 4.10 to 4.11-p2, then to 4.11-p4. Clients show the same behavior, the box running the nameserver, the rest of the 4.11-p2 machines, and OS X 10.3.9. (OS X tries an A lookup first, then tries a lookup. The has the same multiple request problem.) I've tried both INET6 and INET6-less kernel with no effect (it was one of the things that has recently changed), and as far as I can tell, I can't disable lookups with the resolver in libc on 4.x. Relevent uname/named version output for the machines at the bottom. Here's a packet trace of the offending behavior. RUR-1 and 192.168.1.11 are the same machine.

You've got to have a fast connection! I live around 20 km

I have a cable modem of 512 K.
Does it crash with the plugin or alone? Does it crash when you are
watching a movie (can you watch that movie with another player, for
example xine)?
I was using mplayer-plugin. Now I'm trying to use
gmplayer with http:// to listen to an audio stream.
I've rebuilt mplayer with new configure [--args] and now
the err is that it [gmplayer] sees a bad header. So
evidently there are more knobs/options to use. I've
tried xine; don't remember if it worked.
Do you know if there are any FreeBSD ports that use the
win32 codecs for just-plain-audio? On my RH system I
think the realplayer-10 has the option of playing
Windoze-Media ... Or maybe I was dreaming!!
It would be so much simpler if every radio or television
used Real. But no so.
Real Player 10 is available in ports.
The only ports that use win32-codecs are:
multimedia/avifile
multimedia/mplayer
multimedia/mplayerxp
multimedia/xine
multimedia/xmps-win32-plugin
As outputed by:
find /usr/ports -type f -name Makefile -exec fgrep \
'win32-codecs' /dev/null {} \;
I visited MPlayer and Xine websites and they seem to support streaming
(maybe Xine works??).
Good Luck.

I am almost a bit curious why you didn't go with a Microsoft based solution in a situation like this, where you are needing to provide SMB based file sharing to obviously Windows client desktops. Another solution would be to setup a dedicated NAS of some sort. But I suppose it's too late for all of that.

Connecting to the Internet
Hello everyone...for the first time. I have two computers. I very recently installed FreeBSD on my first computer because the operating system it used to have, Microsoft Windows, was infected by so many viruses that my computer took a million years to open a program. I've only had 2 days of experience with FreeBSD, so I don't know anything about it. How do I connect it to the Internet using Ethernet? My computer seemed to be telling me it had three network interfaces. I'm guessing that the ones called plip0 and ppp0 are all wrong; sl0 is the right one. FreeBSD tries to establish an Internet connection on plip0 every time it boots. How do I change that to sl0? How do I tell it to tell DHCP server to assign IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on subnet mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx USING the sl0 network interface? What do I have to do to establish an Internet connection? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! - Post your free ad now! Yahoo!

Are you asking about your ISPs DHCP, a Linksys/Dlink/other SOHO DHCP device, or are you attempting to setup your own internal DHCP server such as ISC-DHCP for your LAN. Secondly, the quick and easy way to change around things so that sl0 pulls an IP is to run /stand/sysinstall and reconfigure your Network Interfaces. You could also edit rc.conf manually and set up the sl0 interface that way, to either pull a static or dynamic IP. Is sl0 internal or external? Is the FreeBSD box going to NAT for your second computer? -- -Tomas Quintero ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You say nothing about what version of FreeBSD, nor what you did during installation. plip0, ppp0, nor sl0 are ethernet interfaces, they are rarely used in this day and age of dirt cheap ethernet. You don't say whether or not X is running or whether you are still in a text terminal. Either way, open a command shell and type ifconfig to see what interfaces your kernel sees. Another thing to play with is sysinstall, the same utility which runs when one boots off the CD can be used while the system is running. You might wish to use it to play with and disable plip0, and look for an ethernet interface. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have some problems with my 3ware 8006-2 on freebsd 5.3 branch. Actually the box is a p4-3000 hyperthreaded, the 3ware card is running raid1 with 2 maxtor 80go drives. Acually the traffic on the card is less than 2 MB/s. When the number of transactions/s a value around 70, the controller seems to lag, the average time par transaction can be more than 10 seconds ! The box also reboot at random intervals giving no messages in the logs. I have a couple of 3ware cards on RELENG_5 and they dont show such behaviour under load. I would start by turning off Hyperthreading as that only really works if you are using the ULE scheduler and thats broken under RELENG_5. Try rebuilding a uniprocessor kernel and see if the problem is still there. Also, enable crash dumps on the box to see if it's a bug or not. Rarely have I seen random reboots with no crash dump be a software issue. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html for info on how to enable crash dumps. I would also update to 5.4 as there are a number of bug fixes you might benefit from depending on how old your build is. ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Questions about processes
Hi all. Looking for some info about some processes I've got running on my box. I'm new to 5.3 having used the 4x line for a long time and I'm curious about my process list.

Re: Connecting to the Internet
Firstly, by telling the DHCP server to assign a static-IP address to a specific system on the network, what sort of DHCP server are you speaking of. Are you asking about your ISPs DHCP, a Linksys/Dlink/other SOHO DHCP device, or are you attempting to setup your own internal DHCP server such as ISC-DHCP for your LAN. Sorry--my DHCP server is a Linksys router which is supposed to assign an internal IP address automatically, whenever a computer asks for it. Secondly, the quick and easy way to change around things so that sl0 pulls an IP is to run /stand/sysinstall and reconfigure your Network Interfaces. Umm...how do I do that again? Do I just go to /stand/sysinstall, click on Index, and click on Network Interfaces? What do I put down for the host and domain? The host is the computer name, I suppose, but I don't think I assigned my LAN a domain. I accidentally put something for the domain, and now I can't erase it because whenever I leave a textbox my computer automatically refills it with what I wrote earlier. In fact, I can't change any settings because it will refill itself whenever I try to. You could also edit rc.conf manually and set up the sl0 interface that way, to either pull a static or dynamic IP. I tried that a minute ago, but it only got me into even deeper trouble. I'm so careless that I forgot to put a quote, and now my computer wouldn't boot properly. It only allows me to log on as a single user, and has # thing instead of $ or computername: How do I open a text editor to edit the rc.conf file while I'm not logged in (I don't think so), and while every command has # in front of it? vi wouldn't work, and view and ex don't work either. I also have a copy of the original rc.conf file; how do I dump the data into the current rc.conf file which is driving me crazy because I made an error in it? Is sl0 internal or external? Is the FreeBSD box going to NAT for your second computer? I don't know--I think sl0 is the network card, and if I'm right it's internal. Also, I'll be 80 when I even dare to think about making FreeBSD NAT for my other computer. My Linksys router is the NAT router for all my computers.

RE: Where to find good/cheap tech support
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You seem to be making assumptions and are looking into this to deeply my friend. But thanks for the feedback anyway :)- The $150 was only an arbitrary number thats common in the field. I could have chosen another number. It would not have mattered, the question would have been the same. That is baloney, when you titled the post good/CHEAP, quite obviously the number matters greatly. - The SCSI adapter is an Adaptec Ultra320 built into a $3000+ 1U web server and not a common inexpensive controller. Since it works fine for both RedHat and Windows we are probably going to go with another OS on this server other than FreeBSD. Um, that would be Windows, right? That is, your going to drop an additional $1200 on Windows OS and licensing for it just because you don't want to drop $150 into an hour of support? If that isn't true then why are you even listing Windows here? Windows isn't a UNIX OS, and has no relevance to anything. Is it because your thinking that if you tell us Windows runs on this server that we are all going to be real impressed? Aren't you forgetting a lot of us already run 1U webservers fine with FreeBSD with no problems? The fact RedHat runs on this is significant since the FreeBSD and RedHat Adaptec driver have a common ancestor. Why arm wrestle the situation when no one seems to know the solution to our issue.- Simple, because the OS is free. If you want to save the money on licensing fees then you spend your time arm wrestling problems when they come up. If you own a car and you want to save a lot of money on mechanics fees then you learn how to fix it, buy a lot of tools, and do the work yourself. Why is this any different with operating systems? And I am in a VERY small company that could barely pay for what we just purchased. We where lucky to get what we did and the idea of having a duplicate is wishful thinking and not realistic, so thats a risk we will have to take until we can afford better solutions. In short, you overreached yourself. So let me ask you, why should customers use you when your competition has actually spent the money for backup servers? I work for a small company too, lots of people do that is no excuse. But when I have a problem, such a fielding a mailserver, that really ought to have a backup server, if I have $3K to spend on it, I don't run out and buy a new server. I instead get creative and perhaps buy 2 used servers at $1500, or roll my own clones, or get a leasing company involved, etc. I don't shortchange my customers because I'm not willing to gamble with their livelihoods. Sure, I may not be out there saying to them that I have a brand new P4 3Ghz server for them like you are, but I am telling them that for what they need, a P4 3Ghz server won't be any different than a P3 1.5Ghz system, (which it isn't) and that I have redundancies in that P3 1.5Ghz network that allow me to guarentee to them that if my server blows chunks that I will have them back online within 20 minutes. Its not the perfect situation but its the best we can do with what we have. No, it isn't. I would love a new house but the cold numbers dictate what'sreally possible right now. - No, they don't. You are simply making up justfications for yourself to try to sleep better at night. You don't have the moral leg to stand on to sell server services to your customers, because when your customers buy services from you there is an implied understanding that they are buying server services that are done in a professional manner, better than they could do them. And if you aren't selling server services to customers, but instead using this server for your own business, the moral issues still remain because your customers depend on your product, and if you go offline a week because your all-the-eggs-in-one-basket solution blew chunks, then your still affecting your customers. I'm sure you can probably go on making excuses, but I'm not interested in them. You said you couldn't afford to have the server down for days at a time. Well, either that was a baldfaced lie and you were full of crap, or your abrogating your responsibility to provide solid IT services and infrastructure. Sites that cannot afford to have a server down for days at a time MUST have backup servers, it is simple as that, and no amount of whining and excuses justify anything different. Now if your interested in the problem, here is the support issue/question no one seems to have any clue about.- I am attempting to install FreeBSD 5.3 onto a new server, but during the initial bootup it fails / times out from what I think is it trying to initialize the SCSI adapter. The server has an Adaptec AIC-7902 dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller which the i386 ahd(4) driver has listed as a supported device. - I have been reading and searching this
