How do I get packages with tgz files

2005-08-24 Thread Bharma
Hi
I am working with a machine with FreeBSD 4.2.8
version. I am not allowed to change the version on the
machine. I want to install some packages - in
particular the KDE package on the machine
pkg_add
ftp://pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/kde/kdeversion.tbz
results in pkg_add responding that it does not
understand tgz files. It may be that pkg_add for
FreeBSD 4.2.8 is old. How do I get tgz files then.

I tried using ports (i.e. make install clean in
/usr/ports/X11/kde). However, compilation consistently
fails while building qt. So that option is also ruled
out. Is there any other way to install kde (if tgz
files are not available)
Thanks for any responses

If you're using IPFW, there's no reason to enable PF.  But here's the
code to enable in your kernel config:

# pf support
device  pf
device  pflog
device  pfsync

Here's the handbook page on PF and ALTQ:

  I'm just wondering if you confirmed that the soundcard available here:
  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102177
  will actually work in a pci-x slot. When we called creative's tech
  support they said all of their live cards were pci-x compatible. Well,
  that's not hard to say, but the board manufacturers never make the
  appropriate key so that it would fit in a pci-x slot. So it would
  work... if it actually even fitted.
 
 
 Yes it's keyed correctly for the PCI-X bus but It turns out that
 Creative changed the chipset to Audigy LS and it's not %100 compatible
 with EMU10k1/3, I have major doubts that FreeBSD supports this
 chipset:
 http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=enq=group%3A*.freebsd.*+%22Audigy+LS%22qt_s=Search
 
 Talk to hal because he did buy one. He posted a message saying that he
 was having trouble with it. I answered it telling him to put
 snd_driver_load=YES into loader.conf but he never replied back to
 say if it worked or not.
 
 I just compiled a list, based on the photos, of sound cards, on
 newegg.com, that are keyed for PCI-X and PCI 32-bit / 66Mhz buses, I
 make no guaranties!!:

This should help. It should be complete but their are like 50 PCI
standards so not sure, if it looks weird use a fixed width font:

PCI:

32-bit / 33Mhz / 132MB / 5Volt (Standard PCI Slot):
##
##---#

32-bit / 33Mhz / 132MB / 3.3V and
32-bit / 66Mhz / 264MB / 3.3V:
##
#--#-#
##

PCI-X:

64-bit / 33Mhz / 264MB / 5V:
##
##---#---#
##

64-bit / 66Mhz / 528MB / 3.3V and
64-bit / 100Mhz / 800MB / 3.3V and
64-bit / 133Mhz / 1064MB / 3.3V and

64-bit / 533Mhz / 4264MB / 3.3V:
##
#--#-#---#
##

Summary: 
* Key is on the right side for 5V slots.
* Key is on the left side for 3.3V slots, 66Mhz or higher PCI slots
are always 3.3V.
* A PCI card that's double notched on both sides is compatible with 5V
and 3.3V slots.
* Look for double notched PCI cards for maximum compatibility.

oversized httpd process?

2005-08-24 Thread Lei Sun
Hi,

I saw many posts from google regarding to this question, but there
were no definite answers..

some say, it's mod_ssl, some say it's mod_perl, some say it is mm. But
my case, it just doesn't make much sence to me at all.

Here are the 2 test machines that I have, both have the exact same configuration

A is a lot more powerful than B

machine A, p4 3.0 2GB Mem
machine B, p2 450Mhz 128MB Mem

Both have mod_php, mod_ssl, and no traffic has been sent.

Looking at the httpd sizes, I start to wonder ... How come Machine B
only uses around 15Mb per httpd, while machine A takes 155Mb, and
while they have exactly the same software, same configuration.

Can somebody please tell me why this is happening? What did I do wrong?

Trouble accessing da-devices on Supermicro X6DH8-G2

2005-08-24 Thread Patrick van Iersel
Hi guys (and girls?),

I have an interesting yet frustating problem trying to get FreeBSD to
access a logical drive/lun's on a raid array.
Let me describe the system first.
The server has a Supermicro X6DH8-G2 mainboard. This thing has an
on-board Adaptec AIC-7902 controller (ahd) which we are not using.
Other cards installed, on a riser, are a LSILogic MegaRAID SCSI 320-1
and a Qlogic 2300 fibre channel adapter. The Qlogic has a raid array
attached which shows up during post and syncs nicely at 2 Gb.

The logical volumes created with the Megaraid can be accessed just fine,
even though they don't show up with camcontrol.
The lun's on the raid array simply don't show up anywhere. However when I
go into the QL menu upon boot I can 'see' the lun's so that indicates
there is no problem with the hardware and/or link.
I've tried everything from changing irq's (didn't work, the two mentioned
cards keep sharing the same no matter what I do with device.hints etc.),
different FreeBSD versions, to taking the Megaraid out of the system.
No dice.
I cannot help but think there is something about this mainboard that messes
up the CAM subsystem (the volumes on the Lsilogic show up as amrd* so I
guess that thing does it's own magic and doesn't need CAM?).
I don't mind if FreeBSD cannot work with this combination of hardware but
I'd like to be sure that that's the problem.
Any pointers/suggestions are welcome :)

Do let me know what additional info could be useful here. For now I've put
up dmesg and pciconf output here: http://home.caiw.nl/~pviersel/freebsd/ .

The system is currently running 5.4 STABLE/amd64 with a generic kernel. The
only change in the kernel is that I've taken out the ahd driver.

Please cc me if you reply (I use the digest version of the mailinglist).

Thanks,

Patrick.

Re: Security warning with sshd

Hey guys, thanks for the help so far.  I'm going to post this to the
freebsd-pf list to see if anyone has any ideas...but I'm using PF, and
here's the config.  Hopefully you can take a look and see what the
problem may be.  As I said earlier, I'm not positive why I'm getting
those errors, but I believe it's because my SSH connection is getting
cut off whenever I enable the firewall.  I've also been looking for a
way to not be cut off (since it's very annoying), and it seems like
figuring out and correcting these errors will also fix the second
problem.


You have to enable the firewall before you use ssh.

A stateful firewall can't know about connections which get setup before the
firewall is started. Since the firewall starts with a clean state, it has to
assume that no connection is valid and blocks every already established
traffic.

So the behavior you see is what you requested from the system by starting the
firewall after starting a ssh session. There's no need to be scared, it's not
a security flaw, but you have to change your expectations.

Bye,
Alexander.

You need to run fc-config and restart your x-windows after adding a font. It 
should be available after restart.

I get these after running 'portsdb -Uu

I've searched the archives but haven't found the solution.


For (t)csh:

alias portsdb 'portsdb \!:* | egrep -v Warning: Duplicate INDEX'

For (ba)sh I think it's:

Routing problem?

2005-08-24 Thread Patrick Lindholm

Ok, here´s the deal

I have my Freebsd 4.10 gateway/nat/firewall on my network.

On my LAN i have couple WIN machines and a Linux Redhat machine  working ok 
to outside and other machine´s with IP 192.168.255.252   eth0


I have one software running on Redhat Machine that uses SLIP and i have 
configured sl0  with 192.168.255.252 P-t-P 192.168.0.6


The 192.168.0.6 is the IP of that Software

Ok  with these configurations i can connect from my Linuxbox locally to the 
software with 192.168.0.6


But the 192.168.0.6 Does´nt appear to be available for other computers on 
my LAN


So i checked out some manuals and used command: ARP -Ds 192.168.0.6 sl0 
pub  and 92.168.0.6 came visible to other computers on my LAN.


So now i thought that all i have to do is to put on my BSDBOX 
natd.confto redirect  all requests from 23 and 81 to 
192.168.0.6  right? and allow of course ports from Firewall  (My software 
with the SLIP has entrance via HTTP and TELNET)


Well nobody can´t still connect to my Linux software from outside?From 
my LAN it´works ok.


I tried also  adding  allow ip from any to 192.168.0.6 via ep0   and that 
worked for a while (now anybody from outside can connect to  my 
software)   It works only for couple hours and the no response?   I´cant 
understand how the allow ip from any to 192.168.0.6 can help.


Well if anyone has understood what i´m trying to do here and wants to send 
couple hints i would be glad.  :-)


Thanks for your reply.

Re: dump(8), incremental backups, Tower of Hanoi sequence, don't get it

2005-08-24 Thread Scott Mitchell

 2) If all you have to deal with are static files and a
 not-super-giant-filesystem, use rsync.  rsync -avz --delete once a night
 will mirror your data between drives or between machines without any
 trouble.  The only disadvantage is there is no file retention if you
 want to restore a corrupt / deleted file after the fact.
 
 Actually there is... sort of...  The trick is to use the --backup and
 --backup-dir options:
 
 -b, --backup
 With  this  option, preexisting destination files are renamed as each
 file is transferred or deleted.  You can control where  the backup  file
 goes  and what (if any) suffix gets appended using the --backup-dir and
 --suffix options.
 
 --backup-dir=DIR
 In combination with the --backup option,  this  tells rsync  to store
 all backups in the specified directory. This is very use- ful for
 incremental backups.  You  can  additionally specify  a backup  suffix
 using  the  --suffix option (otherwise the files backed up in the
 specified directory will  keep  their original filenames).

Another useful rsync option is --link-dest:

--link-dest=DIR
  This  option  behaves  like --copy-dest, but unchanged files are
  hard linked from DIR to the destination  directory.   The  files
  must be identical in all preserved attributes (e.g. permissions,
  possibly  ownership)  in  order  for  the  files  to  be  linked
  together. 

I use this to rsync each backup into a new directory on the backup volume,
named for the date of the backup.  The result is a directory for each backup
run, apparently containing every file from the source tree - but most of them
are just hard links to some previous backup.  This saves a *lot* of disk
space as you only ever copy files that have changed since the last backup.
You also have the complete file tree for each backup, so it's trivial to
restore the version of a file that existed on any particular date.

Cheers,

Scott

You are right, its not a good idea, but when they attempt access I
email the logs and and a nice email (NOT a 3 page complaint followed
by demands and treat of legal recourse (I work at a large ISP so I

I should also state that I remove the netblocks from my blackhole list

Window manager to use with touch panel

2005-08-24 Thread Per Johnson

Hi everyone

I recently got hold of a computer built into a 15 flatscreen monitor.
I want to use this to control lights and other things around the 
appartment and I need a window manager that runs on FreeBSD and works 
well with touch screens.


A user interface with large buttons and a simple menu would do the trick 
but I don't know of any.
Since it's a Cyrix 300MHz processor and only 64MB of Ram I want a light 
weight window manager.


Any suggestions?

Regards

Well 4.2 is pretty old now..

But tgz files are the same as .tar.gz, it is just an abbreviation of it,
it means the file has been tar'd then gzipped..

You can extract it with tar using the -z option or run gunzip on it

HP Proliant DL320

2005-08-24 Thread Paul T. Root

I just got a Proliant DL320 put on my desk to configure
for a tcpdump monitoring project.

The cooling fans run at full speed and as loud as can be.

I see that there is hpapm or cpqhealth programs for Windows,
and looks like Red Hat and Suse, that will watch the temperature
and turn down the fans to needed levels.

Is there anything to control these things for FreeBSD?

I installed 5-4 from DVD and will be updating via source today.

Man, it's fast compared to the old stuff I'm used to.

Paul.

sed(1) can do more than one substitutions in one line:

sed -e 's/)[[:space:]]*$//' -e 's/^.*@//'

or you can use as complex regular expressions as necessary to cut
specific parts of the line:

sed -e 's/[EMAIL PROTECTED]([^)]*\))[[:space:]]*$/\1/'

cvsup multiple RELENGs?

2005-08-24 Thread Joel Hatton
Hi,

Situation - I have a machine that I use to build the base system for
others. I'd like to be able to have multiple copies of /usr/src for
different releases - in particular, RELENG_5_3 and RELENG_5_4. Rather than
just changing my RELENG in the supfile and blowing away the tree each time
I thought I could maintain multiple source trees.  One trivial way that
came to mind would be to copy /usr/src to /usr/RELENG_5_3 and
/usr/RELENG_5_4 and replace /usr/src with a symlink that points to the one
I'm using at the time - I don't know if this makes perfect sense, it's
just an idea :)

Or should I be doing this properly and checking out a complete CVS tree?

thanks,

You may consider denying access after X failed login attempts.

May be it's better to make different supfiles for different RELENGs and 
change the *default prefix to the directory you want /src to be

else, though i've always soft linked from /usr/src.

2005-08-24 Thread slack _usr
Hi, 

There is a little offtopic, but, everything should be the same like in FreeBSD.

First of all, I'm sorry for such stupid question. I know, that I need
few details, but I can't figure out what are they. I'm plaing with
Intel(r) PRO/Wireless2200BG wifi card and it's configuration. I have
found different descriptions for the /etc/dhclient.conf file. I have
read iwi manual.  There are different options (or maybe only
different same option names). I'm newbie in a wifi networks. But in
the other system, machine with windows and netstumbller I found these
wifi networks settings:

SSID: sessionid
Network Authentification: Open
Data Encryption: Wep
Network key: 1011121311 (0x1011121311)

There sessionid is changed only for anonimity purposes.


I need to use dhcp. Now I'm trying to use such /etc/dhclient.conf
configuration:

initial-interval 1;
send host-name thinkpad;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name,
domain-name-servers, host-name;
interface iwi0 {
media ssid sessionid wepkey 0x1011121311;
}

And when I try to use:
#dhclient iwi0 I get following errors:
Trying medium ssid sessionid wepkey 0x1011121311 1
DHCPDISCOVER on iwi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 2
send_packet: Network is down

I get this in a cycle with different intervals ( 255.255.255.255 port
67 interval 2,  255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3,  
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7).

What are the differences between wepkey and nwkey mentioned in iwi
driver developer page
(http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-openbsd.html).
And in the same page there are good description, but only for static
configurations. So if I 've understood everything correctly, I need to
use /etc/dhclient.conf file for configuration. But I stuck there.
Please, give me any advice or a link.

Thanks for your patient, and sorry for me english.

Re: How do I get packages with tgz files

2005-08-24 Thread Bharma
Am sorry for the typos. The problem is actually this.
The KDE packages available right now are tbz files.
However, pkg_add on FreeBSD 4.2.8 understands only tgz
files. I earlier wrote that I was trying to install
tgz files though I meant that I was trying to install
tbz files.
So the question is how to I get tgz files?
The different ways that I have thought of 
a) Download tbz - convert it into tgz and let pkg_add
download it from a local ftp location. The problem is
that what happens if pkg_add wants to download
dependencies also (or is kde-version.tgz the
complete package and is the only file to be
downloaded)
b) build from ports - qt compilation is failing 
c) upgrade pkg_add only to understand tbz files. This
is a better solution except I don't know how to
upgrade pkg_add only (and if it is possible with
FreeBSD 4.2.8 kernel)

 Well 4.2 is pretty old now..
 
 But tgz files are the same as .tar.gz, it is just an

 it means the file has been tar'd then gzipped..
 
 You can extract it with tar using the -z option or

Such automated blocking is becoming common in the better Intrusion
Detection Systems, which talk to their associated firewalls.  If you are
creating what is effectively a simple IDS, here are a couple thoughts:

First, blocking reserved areas of the IP space seems a little different
than fighting malicious hackers and spammers, but in either case, see
(ii) below.

Second, if someone legitimate is being blocked, they'll probably call
you. You can put an earlier rule in the firewall to let them in. If you
are running an ecommerce site, you might not want to block half the
world; invest in a more powerful firewall/IDS combination.  See (iii)
below.

Third, if you are automating the creation of your blocks (a good idea)
then you could also do the following:
(i) create blocks as narrow as possible given the attacks.  First block
the IP address, then if several nearby addresses attack, block that
subnet, etc.
(ii) allow the blocks to time-out after a while (as many IDS blocks do).
If (i) turns them back on, then increase the length of the time-out.
(iii) review your blocks every now and then either by reviewing your
firewall logs or by having your (perl?) program check if (ii) turns off
a block only to have (i) turn it on again of if it never cycles.

BTW, our firewall blocks so many attacks per minute that its
multi-colored console display is better than a soap opera!

 Dump and restore is the obvious way to do it.  
 dd can do it too, but will be slower, as well 
 as easier to shoot yourself in the foot with.

The advantage of dump/restore is that only the necessary data is
written. With dd all the unused blocks on the media are also written,
including the filesystem, which will probably work on the larger card.

I've always found it best to newfs a CF rather than bulk copy with dd.
Had about 20 256MB CF cards purchased in one lot and found several years
ago that not all were exactly the same block count in size. Running
newfs separately on each solved that problem. Previously dd was used as
a bulk duplicator.

Tar or pax are not bad choices in addition to dump/restore.

 sed -e 's/[EMAIL PROTECTED]([^)]*\))[[:space:]]*$/\1/'

Sure.  It's probably also a good idea to use mv(1) with a temporary file
residing under /etc/mail too, to make sure the update to the access map
is as close to being an ``atomic operation'' as possible:

% accesstmp=`mktemp /etc/mail/access.tmp.XX`

%
% ( cat /etc/mail/access ;

Re: oversized httpd process?

Now that I think about it, I did install the eaccelerator for php, and
configured it to take 128Mb for eaccelerator.shm_size. It also appears
that when I reboot the machine A without pointing my browser to it
once, the httpd processes are quite small. BUT...

Even with the 2 php application that I installed (phpmyadmin,

Since if I add the total size of the 2 application together, they

Is there anything to control these things for FreeBSD?


What happens if you install Linux emulation and try running those programs?

So i checked out some manuals and used command: ARP -Ds 192.168.0.6 sl0

right? and allow of course ports from Firewall  (My software with the 
SLIP has entrance via HTTP and TELNET)


Well nobody can´t still connect to my Linux software from outside?
 From my LAN it´works ok.

The first problem was a result of trying to use ARP to a machine not on the 
local subnet, which the SLIP connection is not.  If you're going to use that, 
you either need to proxy arp for the box, or set up routing on both sides so 
that the 192.168.255.x and 129.168.0.y subnets know about each other.


Second, for NAT port forwarding to work, the Linux box has to route replies 
back via a path that goes to the FreeBSD box running NATD.  In other words, the 
default route of the Linux box may have to point back via the FreeBSD box.


There are other wordarounds available, such as using SSH portforwarding, netcat 
(nc), or the TIS FWTK plug-gw to proxy the connections to your internal net to 
avoid changing the routing, but you're getting into some complex networking...

As a separate issue, some boot stuff can get messed up, right?  Or do

Re[2]: mime contents thru ipfw

2005-08-24 Thread vladone
U are funny (sorry). Use Freebsd for firewall and microsoft for proxy?
If u want an easy solution with microsoft try Windows2003 server (that
have route and NAT options) and Sygate at firewall. Or any version of
Windows with winroute for nat/proxy. I recommend u oldies versions
like 4.x for winroute. (this work with little network, not production
situations)

My advice is to install squid on freebsd machine. Is easy, is included
in ports and can find tons of documentation. U dont need two computers
for that (gateway+proxy).

If i dont understand corect, please explain more clear what u want to
do! (including an scheme if u can). is not very clear what is your
gateway and where is your proxy.

With ipfw, not need to take off the computer from network. Make an
simple script and flush rules when u dont want ipfw.
For example

script example /etc/ipfw.sh:
#!/bin/sh
cmd=ipfw -q
pif=rl0 #public interface
lif=fxp0 #private interface

$cmd flush

$cmd add 100 allow ip from any to any in via $pif
.

u can run script with:
#sh ipfw.sh
and if want to flush rules
#ipfw flush

problem sendmail with msgidruleset.m4 : *** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()

2005-08-24 Thread jstarng
I'm trying to set up sendmail with the msgidruleset.m4 so that all

i get all the way to the new sendmail.cf creation using:
 m4 ../m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/freebsd.mc  sendmail.cf

and it responds with an error:
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()

when i put the line: FEATURE(msgidruleset) before the MAILER() line,
it errors out with:
*** MAILER(smtp) must appear before copymail mailer')
I see that error's created from msgidruleset.m4 and so i assume it has
to appear after smtp for it to work and i cant just comment it out

 Hi All,
 
 I was browsing through my log files and noticed that
 someone (or many people) is trying to gain illegal

 The below log file clearly indicates someone trying to

 I performed the following steps: 
 
 nmap -v  210.0.142.153
 

I recommend that you not make a habit of this.  It will eventually
result in a complaint to your ISP that you were attacking the system
you scanned.

Use dig to get a clue about who owns the network that is attacking you:

$ dig -x 210.0.142.153 
[...]
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;153.142.0.210.in-addr.arpa.IN  PTR

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

dns.on-nets.com. 200109270110800 3600 604800 86400

There is no PTR info, but the attack is coming from a network
controlled by on-nets.com (the SOA).  Sending a complaint to them
might be effective.  You can use whois to try to figure out where to
mail the complaint, but it is easier to use abuse.net
(http://www.abuse.net) to send a complaint: you email the complaint to
abuse.net, and they forward it to the correct address, so you don't
have to spend a lot of time figuring out where to send it.

[...]
 When I saw the logs for the first time. I took the
 following steps: 
 1) AllowUsers in sshd contained only users that I
 wanted to have access to my ssh 
 2) Created a decent rulest within ipfw that permitted
 incoming access to only two ports ssh and http
 
 I took the issue of creating a good firewall quite
 lightly and now I regret that decision.. now I have
 learnt... Can someone provide me with guidance on this
 issue and advise me on next steps to take action
 against such losers. 

Get used to it.  Seriously.  

The log you show appears to be an automated attack.  You can expect a
steady stream of them, mostly from worms (which I think is the case
here), viruses, and zombie networks.  Keep your system updated (use
freebsd-update and portaudit), use appropriate firewall rules, and you
shouldn't have a problem.

This particular attack is using a much smaller set of userIDs than

ran out of names to try, but it was gratifying just the same.

In any case, back then I had no problems block copying a 32MB CF onto a
256MB CF, boot blocks, partition table, and everything so long as one
didn't mind losing everything over 32MB. What I did have problems with
is a few 256MB CF's in a lot which were externally identical to the
others but a handful of blocks shorter. Thats when I nuked the dd
procedure I had inherited and replaced with a script which started with
newfs. Newfs was smart enough to detect the size and do the right thing.

Yes, tar and/or pax are not able to copy/restore the special BSD flags
which dump/restore does. I think I used mtree to beat my final CF image
into the desired shape, permissions, owner/group, and BSD flags.

 Another useful rsync option is --link-dest:

   This  option  behaves  like --copy-dest, but unchanged files are

 I use this to rsync each backup into a new directory on the backup volume,
 named for the date of the backup.  The result is a directory for each backup
 run, apparently containing every file from the source tree - but most of them
 are just hard links to some previous backup.  This saves a *lot* of disk
 space as you only ever copy files that have changed since the last backup.
 You also have the complete file tree for each backup, so it's trivial to
 restore the version of a file that existed on any particular date.

All this great discussion got me researchinng.  I haven't tried this
out but it looks like rsnapshot integrates a lot of features like this
into a single configurable, cronable script.  It is in ports as well.

A lot of systems make use of cp -al ... well, for us FreeBSD people that
means gcp from coreutils.

rsnapshot looks like a lightweight, OS/FS-portable method of building
rotating filesystem-wide snapshots via hardlinks, but can be made to
operate on limited sets of directories, etc.  It can create local
snaphots of remote directories, but not, apparently, remote copies of
local directories.  One trick I gleaned from
http://burd.info/gary/2003/03/snapshot-backup-using-rsync-and-ssh.html
is to invoke rsync with --rsync-path which points to a script which
performs maintenence functions and then passes off to rsync proper, so
you could probably set up a client-triggered rsnapshot configuration if
you were, say, doing backups of a Windows laptop client. :)

 As to 3s Con, I'm not entirely sure you have to install the

 boot the system, removing the two
 layers of boot manager..
 
 I did this before with NT, but it was a while ago and I don't really  
 remember the exact steps you need
 to take, but there is probably something about it you can google..

The XP loader is configured just as the NT loader.  Instructions for
using it in both single-disk and two-disk dual-boot configurations are
at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER

The instructions require that you install the FreeBSD boot manager if
you are using the NT boot manager for a two-disk boot, but I think
that you can overwrite it with the standard MBR after you have
everything configured.  Or perhaps I misunderstand: I've never used
the NT loader to do a 2-disk configuration with FreeBSD.  In any case,
for a two disk configuration it is easier to just use the FreeBSD boot
manager and not mess with the NT/XP boot manager.

 
 Of course using the FreeBSD manager is the much easier and simpler  
 option, just some people seem
 to like the NT one better..

The NT boot manager is prettier, but for a two-disk system, setting it
up is probably more trouble than it is worth.

I believe the NT boot manager always defaults to the same system,
while the FreeBSD boot manager defaults to the system most recently
used.  That might affect your choice.

connect from only specified static ip addresses. Like I have at home an ip 
address 1.2.3.4 and ssh server accepts connections only from it.
Now I wan't to get access to that ssh server from places where I don't have 
static ip.
I already have at home a freebsd server running with simple configutation. Is 
it possible to make some kind of tunnel or something so I could connect to my 
home freebsd machine that connects to ssh server so that ssh server 'thinks' 
that I'm connecting from home?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry for bad English

 Why don't you ssh into your home pc with static ip from your pc with dynamic 
 ip
 and then ssh from your home machine into your server?

Using just ssh is no a problem. The machine with dynamic IP has WinXP and Putty 
on it. Setting remote command in Putty to ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] eliminates 
even the need to type it in in putty ssh console...
Anyway the problem comes when I want to use FileZilla to make SFTP connection 
over SSH2 connection through home computer. I've tried Putty's tunneling, but 
the other end of that tunnel is still my home computer even tho my home 
computer is connected to www server with ssh.
So my approach is to find out how can I set something up on my home freebsd 
machine so that connecting to some port on it, it connects to www server ssh 
port.

You could build up a VPN (OpenVPN comes to my mind) between your home and your
roaming machine, set your home BSD machine up to act as a NAT gateway
from the VPN to the World and then make a route on your roaming
machine to the effect of using your home machine as the gateway for
connecting to your office IP.

I would guess that some combination of port forwarding (done
in the Firewall) and NAT could also allow you to achieve your goal.

But I like VPN solutions.

Re: How do I get packages with tgz files

 Am sorry for the typos. The problem is actually this.
 The KDE packages available right now are tbz files.
 However, pkg_add on FreeBSD 4.2.8 understands only tgz

 tbz files.
 So the question is how to I get tgz files?

1) You're looking in the wrong place if you're seeing .tbz packages,
because 4.x still uses .tgz packages.

but 

2) There is no such thing as FreeBSD 4.2.8.  Perhaps you mean 4.2 or
4.8.  Either way, you'll need to look in the correct location on the
FTP sites for these packages (e.g. packages-4.8-release/), but since
both releases are quite old you might have trouble still finding them
on the mirror sites.  Check http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/

FreeBSD on old laptop, installer panic

2005-08-24 Thread Zac Berkowitz
I'm giving FreeBSD a go on my laptop, but I'm running into problems straight 
off the 5.4-STABLE installer.  At first it would hang without an error.  
After I disabled power management in the bios  I got a bit further - now it 
crashes with a panic:

  As to 3s Con, I'm not entirely sure you have to install the
  bootloader.. I think you can install a standard
  bootstrap, then using dd copy it and have the NT loader use it to
  boot the system, removing the two
  layers of boot manager..
 
  I did this before with NT, but it was a while ago and I don't really
  remember the exact steps you need
  to take, but there is probably something about it you can google..
 
 The XP loader is configured just as the NT loader.  Instructions for
 using it in both single-disk and two-disk dual-boot configurations are
 at
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER
 
 The instructions require that you install the FreeBSD boot manager if
 you are using the NT boot manager for a two-disk boot, but I think
 that you can overwrite it with the standard MBR after you have
 everything configured.  Or perhaps I misunderstand: I've never used
 the NT loader to do a 2-disk configuration with FreeBSD.  In any case,
 for a two disk configuration it is easier to just use the FreeBSD boot
 manager and not mess with the NT/XP boot manager.
 
 
  Of course using the FreeBSD manager is the much easier and simpler
  option, just some people seem
  to like the NT one better..
 
 The NT boot manager is prettier, but for a two-disk system, setting it
 up is probably more trouble than it is worth.
 
 I believe the NT boot manager always defaults to the same system,
 while the FreeBSD boot manager defaults to the system most recently
 used.  That might affect your choice.

 Sure.  It's probably also a good idea to use mv(1) with a temporary

 % fi
 % mv ${accesstmp} /etc/mail/access

Giorgos, that's pretty snazzy compared to my crude script. Will now

Booting FreeBSD over network or serial links?

2005-08-24 Thread Sarath Kamisetty
Hi,

I have two PCs, one with linux installed and another one is a old PC.
I would like use my linux pc to make modifications to freebsd code
base and then test it on my old PC. After compiling freebsd image on
my linux pc, how do I boot this image on my old PC ? Is there a cost
effective way of doing this without using floppies or CDs which is
time consuming ? Can I run some special image on my old PC to let it
fetch the newly compiled image everytime ?? Does anyone have this kind
of setup ? Can I setup a console server for cheap and acheive this ?
Please share your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Performance Issues with AMD64 3000+, 1.5GB RAM, FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE

2005-08-24 Thread Mark Kane
Hi everyone. Last night I finally worked out some issues with my AMD64 
machine and got it up and operational. It's an AMD64 3000+ with 1.5GB 
RAM, and five 7200RPM hard drives (total of 720 gigs) running FreeBSD 
5.4-RELEASE (amd64). When doing testing and initial 
install/configuration of this machine (compiling apps and such) I didn't 
notice this too much, but now that I'm actually using it this is 
starting to be noticeable.


The issue I'm having is that every minute or two, I will hear some 
stuttering in any audio/video playback (will see the video freeze if 
video), and my mouse will freeze for a few seconds as well while this 
happens. It seems to happen more frequently if I have something doing 
disk I/O, such as downloads running, untarring files, or torrents. Right 
now, I have the following applications open:


Xorg
Xfce
X-Chat
Mozilla Firefox (Only about 10 tabs, as opposed to my normal 40-50 tabs)
Terminal
XMMS
Mozilla Thunderbird
rtorrent

I initially noticed it on this machine when untarring a 20MB tar.bz2 
file, and I figured with it untarring that a little audio stuttering 
would be expected. Then today, I started noticing it when doing normal 
things. All I'm doing now is just light browsing with XMMS and X-Chat 
open, and maybe one download going.


While my AMD64 was out of commission, I was using an Athlon XP 2000+ 
with 1GB of RAM and an old slower hard drive. It ran FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE 
as well. I noticed the same stutters in audio/video playback and 
freezing of the mouse there, although it was much more frequent.


Here is a top output from just now:

last pid: 59025;  load averages:  0.07,  0.08,  0.12 


59 processes:  1 running, 58 sleeping
CPU states:  4.3% user,  0.0% nice,  2.3% system,  1.6% interrupt, 91.8% 
idle

Mem: 841M Active, 245M Inact, 194M Wired, 72M Cache, 162M Buf, 2300K Free
Swap: 3045M Total, 96K Used, 3045M Free

So basically I'm wondering if there are any OS optimizations or anything 
I am missing to reduce this? I'm not sure why on this type of hardware 
with not even using half of what I normally would have open (at least 
Firefox tabs wise) it would cause so many hiccups like this.


Thanks in advance for any opinions or suggestions.

It's not that big of a deal...they didn't get in or anything.  If
you've got a server that's always connected to the internet, you'll
see people trying to break in all the time.  The more popular your
server, the more frequent the attempts.  This is just someone trying
to log in via SSH - so as long as you have good passwords on all your
accounts, and disable remote root login, you're fine.

You may consider denying access after X failed login attempts.

and five 7200RPM hard drives (total of 720 gigs) running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE 
(amd64). When doing testing and initial install/configuration of this machine 
(compiling apps and such) I didn't notice this too much, but now that I'm 
actually using it this is starting to be noticeable.


The issue I'm having is that every minute or two, I will hear some stuttering 
in any audio/video playback (will see the video freeze if video), and my 
mouse will freeze for a few seconds as well while this happens. It seems to 
happen more frequently if I have something doing disk I/O, such as downloads 
running, untarring files, or torrents. Right now, I have the following 
applications open:


Xorg
Xfce
X-Chat
Mozilla Firefox (Only about 10 tabs, as opposed to my normal 40-50 tabs)
Terminal
XMMS
Mozilla Thunderbird
rtorrent

I initially noticed it on this machine when untarring a 20MB tar.bz2 file, 
and I figured with it untarring that a little audio stuttering would be 
expected. Then today, I started noticing it when doing normal things. All I'm 
doing now is just light browsing with XMMS and X-Chat open, and maybe one 
download going.


While my AMD64 was out of commission, I was using an Athlon XP 2000+ with 1GB 
of RAM and an old slower hard drive. It ran FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE as well. I 
noticed the same stutters in audio/video playback and freezing of the mouse 
there, although it was much more frequent.


Here is a top output from just now:

last pid: 59025;  load averages:  0.07,  0.08,  0.12 
59 processes:  1 running, 58 sleeping

CPU states:  4.3% user,  0.0% nice,  2.3% system,  1.6% interrupt, 91.8% idle
Mem: 841M Active, 245M Inact, 194M Wired, 72M Cache, 162M Buf, 2300K Free
Swap: 3045M Total, 96K Used, 3045M Free

So basically I'm wondering if there are any OS optimizations or anything I am 
missing to reduce this? I'm not sure why on this type of hardware with not 
even using half of what I normally would have open (at least Firefox tabs 
wise) it would cause so many hiccups like this.


Thanks in advance for any opinions or suggestions.

Mark,

I to am having similar problems with SATA drives, to the point where the 
audio coming from XMMS sounds just TRIPPING!


One thing that helped me was to INSURE that the dma for the 
hw.ata.atapi_dma and hw.ata.ata_dma where both set to 1.


Also, staying STABLE for me has been advantageous.

Corrupt entries in /var/log/messages?

2005-08-24 Thread Chris St Denis
Occasionally I get entries like this in my log. It looks like more than one
process is logging at the same time. Shouldn't syslogd be
thread/SMP/concurrency safe from this kind of thing?

In an unrelated note, I'm getting a few  *** POKED TIMER *** messages in

about in the archive, but no answers (telling somebody to search the archive
isn't any good when that's the only answer found)

Well while all my drives are PATA, I should mention that I'm not even 
trying to play mp3s/Ogg files from any of my five drives most of the 
time. I run a group of Internet radio stations so most times I am 
listening to them. It's not the server skipping, it's for sure some kind 
of few second freeze of the mouse/display and the sound stutters at the 
same time.


It's also not just audio in XMMS. I could be watching a video clip in 
VLC or mplayer and have some of the same results. The picture would 
freeze for a moment and the audio would stutter for a few seconds, then 
resume normal playback...and that's even with NOTHING else running but 
X, Xfce, and VLC.


I can manually make it worse. As I said before, if I untar an archive 
like Mozilla or something it gets almost unlistenable and the mouse is 
constantly freezing as I move it around.


One thing that helped me was to INSURE that the dma for the 
hw.ata.atapi_dma and hw.ata.ata_dma where both set to 1.


DMA is for sure enabled on all the hard drives, but the optical drive 
remains in PIO mode. I haven't attempted to play anything from that yet, 
however.



Also, staying STABLE for me has been advantageous.


I have not tried STABLE yet, but if it would help this and wouldn't 
introduce any new problems I would be happy to give it a try.

Could you post your dmesg to the list?

I have had a similar problem with SATA hard drives on an Intel PNSLK 
945  chipset motherboard with a Pentium D 3ghz. The SATA drives simply 
would  not recognize as DMA, only PIO, in the BIOS there was a setting 
for  ATA/IDE Mode, the options were Enhanced or Legacy (defaulted to 
Enhanced),  once set to Legacy all disk drives are now working in UDMA 5 
mode.


Even though you have stated your drives are PATA, it could be a related  
issue.


Did you check the sysctl variables listed above, what are their values?

You say you have 5 disk drives, have you got an add-on IDE card for the  
extra hard drives (most mobo's I've seen only have one IDE port and 4 
SATA  ports these days) or does the mobo have onboard RAID controllers 
which you  aren't using for RAID (could lead to driver incompatibilites 
for those  controllers)?


Thank you
Daniel


Thanks for the response, dmesg is included below.

Before getting this system up and running, I had two weeks of hell 
getting DMA to properly work with this series of motherboards. They have 
some controller issues or something, because more than one drive cannot 
reside on the same cable or there are UDMA ICRC READ and WRITE errors. I 
know it's not this particular board because this is the second brand new 
board of the same model (Giga-Byte K8NS Pro) I've had with similar DMA 
problems. I had a thread going here about that also. The end solution to 
that was to have each drive on it's own dedicated channel, and I have a 
Promise ATA card in here in addition to the motherboard's 4 channels (2 
IDE + 2 RAID which function as IDE).


I don't think it is due to this particular problem with the controllers 
though since I used that other 5.4 machine for a month and a half and it 
did the exact same things.

Hi,

I have two PCs, one with linux installed and another one is a old PC.
I would like use my linux pc to make modifications to freebsd code
base and then test it on my old PC. After compiling freebsd image on
my linux pc, how do I boot this image on my old PC ? Is there a cost
effective way of doing this without using floppies or CDs which is
time consuming ? Can I run some special image on my old PC to let it
fetch the newly compiled image everytime ?? Does anyone have this kind
of setup ? Can I setup a console server for cheap and acheive this ?
Please share your thoughts on this.


If you have an intel NIC which supports PXE, you can boot the machine 
from a kernel that's on another machine and shared by NFS or 
tftp.  Take a look at the man page for pxeboot(8), as well as the 
development(7) man page for some good info.
