Long delay when sending mail
Hi! I have configured mail server on FreeBSD 5.4 with sendmail 8.13.5 and cyrus-imapd v2. I am also using client Mulberry (but also tested with Tbird, Outlook Express, Outlook). I use IMAP access with all the clients, the server is on the same network as clients (100 Mbit network). The issue is when I try to send several messages one after another I get smtp delay message and this sometimes takes for 30 sec to a minute. My sendmail has configured a smart host and also to accept unqualified domains. I have attached my sendmail config. What am I missing here? -- Sasa Stupar freebsd.mc Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Adding lines to /etc/rc.conf during sysinstall wihout being REMOVED
On 17/12/2005 4:22 AM, Josh Endries wrote:
Does anyone know the correct way to add lines to rc.conf without
sysinstall commenting them out and prepending REMOVED to them,
during an automated install.cfg routine? Currently I have a pkg I
made that adds stuff like ntp.conf and rc.conf, but all the lines in
my custom rc.conf are removed after the script finishes.
I looked through the code for sysinstall but didn't see any way to
disable this behavior (my C isn't very good). What would be the
correct way to do this? I'm now having my pkg install a rc.d script
which cat's /etc/rc.conf...
I hit this same problem in building a custom installation disc, and
wound up extending sysinstall to have a shutdownNoRC that would function
the same as the shutdown statement in an install.cfg, only without
touching the rc.conf. This was useful for us, as we installed a custom
rc.conf and did not want sysinstall to touch it.
I also added a poweroff and poweroffNoRC methods that function the
same as the shutdown statement, only power off the machine instead.
This can be quite handy in a production line environment, when used in
conjunction with the cdcontrol(1) command to eject the CD, prior to
powering off the completed system.
I've attached the patch if anyone is interested... perhaps if there is
sufficient interest then someone could see about getting this committed.
The attached patch is against 6.0-RELEASE.

Antony

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep talking about, then the card's interrupt throttling is going to limit the inbound bandwidth to below 100Mbt. Wrong again, Ted. It scares me that you consider yourself knowlegable about this. You can process # interrupts X ring_size packets; not one per interrupt. You're only polling 1000x per second (or whatever you have hz set to), so why do you think that you have to interrupt for every packet to do 100Mb/s? I never said anything about interrupting for every packet, did I? Of course not since I know what your talking about. However, it is you who are throwing around the numbers - or were in your prior post - regarding the fxp driver and hardware. Why should I have to do the work digging around in the datasheets and doing the math? Since you seem to be wanting to argue this from a theory standpoint, then your only option is to === message truncated === message too large for stupid Yahoo mailer Unfortunately your test is not controlled, which is pretty typical of most OS testers.

The www/mod_php5 port gives you just the Apache loadable module, no standalone php executable. The lang/php5 port gives you both the Apache loadable module and the standalone php executable. The lang/php5-cli port gives you just the standalone php executable. Finally, the www/php5-cgi port gives you a version of PHP *without* fastcgi support -- ie. it's tied to using the traditional CGI interface.

I know that it must be done in /etc/ttys but I couldn't find any syntax example after searching the FreeBSD manpages, maillists, Handbook and Google. man init gives me this: ... The *init* utility can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running, automatically restarting them if they die. In this case, the first field in the ttys(5) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ttyssektion=5apropos=0manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE+and+Ports file must not reference the path to a configured device node and will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its com- mand line. This is similar to the facility offered in the ATT System V UNIX //etc/inittab/. ... Sounded a little cryptic to me... sorry... Can anyone help me? If so, An example line would be fine. Lets take sendmail as an example here -- just for something concrete to write about, and not because sendmail needs this sort of treatment. Now, you need 4 fields to go into the /etc/ttys file to make this work: name -- which terminal device to use getty -- the program to attach to that terminal type -- the terminal type status -- on or off (See the comments in the /etc/ttys file for more detail on this) So as an example /etc/ttys line try: sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bB -q30m network on The first field here is an arbitrary name -- anything will do so long as it doesn't collide with any of the terminal device names from /dev. The second field is the command and arguments to run, encased in double quotes. Note the '-bB' flag -- that's important and tells sendmail to stay in the foreground. You definitely don't want '-bd' here. The third field -- terminal type -- is really irrelevant here, so just choose something vaguely appropriate. The fourth field tells init yes, please do run the sendmail process. Your confusion stems from the fact that what you are doing is running a daemon process -- i.e. a process /without/ a controlling terminal -- from the configuration file for setting up the processes that manage terminals. Yes, it's a hack. The SysV-ish /etc/inittab mechanism has been better thought out in this regard. Note too that when we say 'daemon' we don't mean a process that forks itself on startup, which is part of the standard mechanism for a process to dissociate itself from any controlling terminal (see daemon(3)). All programs in the base system intended to run as daemons will do that, which makes them completely unsuitable for running through this mechanism -- you'll just end up with init(8) spinning madly as it continually tries to restart the process. You can only use the /etc/ttys trick with a program that stays in the foreground. Many system daemons have a debug mode which prevents them from doing the initial fork to dissociate themselves from the terminal. You might wish to investigate the sysutils/daemontools port, which is a set of programs developed by Dan Bernstein for doing (inter alia) pretty much exactly this job: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: Long delay when sending mail
Sasa Stupar wrote: Hi! I have configured mail server on FreeBSD 5.4 with sendmail 8.13.5 and cyrus-imapd v2. I am also using client Mulberry (but also tested with Tbird, Outlook Express, Outlook). I use IMAP access with all the clients, the server is on the same network as clients (100 Mbit network). The issue is when I try to send several messages one after another I get smtp delay message and this sometimes takes for 30 sec to a minute. My sendmail has configured a smart host and also to accept unqualified domains. I have attached my sendmail config. What am I missing here? 30s delays sounds like DNS timeouts. Check that the host running sendmail can do a reverse lookup on the IP number of the clients connecting to it. Simply putting IPs and hostnames of all your client boxes into /etc/hosts should fix the problem. Alternatively, that delay could be due to the ident protocol. Ident is trivially easy to spoof which makes it a pointless waste of time. Putting: define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl in your .mc file will stop ident getting in your hair. The third possibility is that you've got quite a few milters set up there and sendmail simply needs a bit of time to run each message through all of them.

I had no interest in wireless networking until recently. Google searches turned up some interesting information, but most of it was specific to Linux.

FreeBSD/Apache/DNS- Problem accessing virtual hosts from external network
Hi, I am using DNS(Bind)/Apache(virtual hosting) in a FreeBSd machine which is connected via a static IP in a DSL provider. I want to setup mulitple websites under my domain. I have been able to get a domain from GoDaddy and was able to setup so that it will point to my IP address when my domain is accessed. I also have configured DNS and Apache virtual hosting. Questions: 1) Is it a problem of DNS, Apache virtual hosting or my domain name provider? 2) Is anyone have tried to configure multiple virtual hosting in Apache with DNS in one FreeBSD machine? Can you give me your sample config for DNS, Apache, /etc/hosts/, /etc/resolv.conf etc etc that are related to this setup? --- Observations: 1) If the computer accessing the virtual domains is from the LAN, it works fine. I can access all the virtual domains (i.e., www.mydomain.com, vhost1.mydomain.com, vhost2.mydomain.com, vhost3.mydomain.com) 2) But if the virtual domain was accessed from outside (Internet or at my office), it doesn't work and all virtual domains resolve to www.mydomain.com. All I can see is the main default page for www.mydomain.com. For example, when I access www.mydomain.com, it works fine. But when I access the virtual hosts such as vhost1.mydomain.com, vhost2.mydomain.com, vhost3.mydomain.com; it only display the main website www.mydomain.com. Here are my configurations: * httpd.conf virtual hosts #-- Listen 80 BindAddress 203.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 80 #ServerName www.mydomain.com (commented it out but doesn't have any effect when uncommented) DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/www Directory /usr/local/apache/www NameVirtualHost 203.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 VirtualHost 203.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/www/ ServerName www.mydomain.com ErrorLog logs/virtual_host.www.com-error_log CustomLog logs/virtual_host.www.com-access_log common /VirtualHost VirtualHost 203.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName vhost1.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/www_virtual/vhost1/ ErrorLog logs/virtual_host.vhost1.com-error_log CustomLog logs/virtual_host.vhost1.com-access_log common /VirtualHost VirtualHost 203.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName vhost2.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/www_virtual/vhost2/ ErrorLog logs/virtual_host.vhost2.com-error_log CustomLog logs/virtual_host.vhost2.com-access_log common /VirtualHost #--- * DNS configs #--- ; Machine Names localhost IN A127.0.0.1 dns IN A203.xxx.xxx.xxx @ IN A203.xxx.xxx.xxx ; Aliases www IN CNAME@ vhost1 IN CNAME@ vhost2 IN CNAME@ vhost3 IN CNAME@ vhost4 IN CNAME@ #--- * Traceroutes from external network I can traceroute www.mydomain.com and resolves to 203.xxx.xxx.xxx I can also traceroute vhost1.mydomain.com and resolves to 203.xxx.xxx.xxx I can also traceroute all vhosts and they find my IP address 203.xxx.xxx.xxx . * GoDaddy COnfig - I have set Custom Name Servers and added my IP address/hostname as the DNS server Thanks!

Switch is CNET CNSH-1600. Once again, the winxp+realtek 8139 is not a particularly steller combo, I would question that this system could saturate the ethernet, either.

Unfortunately Firefox 1.5's whole printing system is pretty buggy right now - almost to the point of unusability on my system. If it was working properly you'd go File-Print select the printer you want to edit, click Properties and set the command to either /usr/local/bin/lpr (for the lpr interface to CUPS) or kprinter (for the KDE interface to CUPS). Unfortunately this official method is not working for me. I've had to edit the prefs.js directly in order to maintain printing ability.

SPF Startup and P5-Mail-SPF-Query

My research via google into this found me several pages that mentioned something about 'msttcorefonts', but after some playing with this they don't seem to be installable on freebsd. Any suggestions? I think x11-fonts/webfonts may be referenced as msttcorefonts in other distributions. I can't explain why, but try to install the print/gtklp port and change the print command in firefox to gtklp. Installed webfonts and gtklp and restarted x and no go still. :( One thing I did notice is that all the others go to a normal print window, but the two browsers go to some custom printing screen and say something about postscript/printer_name instead of the normal KDE cups installed printer. Would that possibly cause part of the issue? Firefox isn't a KDE app, so by default is uses /usr/bin/lpr unless you specifically set it to use another print interface. Unfortunately Firefox 1.5's whole printing system is pretty buggy right now - almost to the point of unusability on my system. If it was working properly you'd go File-Print select the printer you want to edit, click Properties and set the command to either /usr/local/bin/lpr (for the lpr interface to CUPS) or kprinter (for the KDE interface to CUPS).

Re: FreeBSD 6, WPA-PSK, wpa_supplicant and a IBM a31p
-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] said -- Yes, probably WPA-encryption is simply not supported by your wireless card/chipset. AFAIK there is no way to use WPA with a wi-card. You either stick to WEP-encryption or buy a newer wireless card (ath or iwi would do WPA-PSK). It was my understanding that WPA could be used on any network card, and is a function of the driver rather than the underlying card. I could be mistaken on that, but I havne't been able to find anything definitive that the wi driver doesn't allow this, and the card (using a different prism2 driver than available from ibm) works under windows (just got it working to see if it was the card). I got it working with WPA-PSK TKIP and I still fail under freebsd, so I figure it's either a bug or I am missing some configuration parameter.

sshd not giving plogin prompt
Hello, I have a jailed ssh server among other things on a freebsd 5.4 box. I had to change the IP on it from 192.168.9.10 to 192.168.2.10. And now sshd on the jail won't let me log in.

ATA problems on Supermicro X6DHE motherboards
Hello, I have a a machine with a Supermicro X6DHE-XG2 motherboard and one with a X6DHE-G2 motherboard. When I try to install FreeBSD 5.4 on these machines I get FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY timed out messages while the installer is booting. The installer does manage to start, but when you go to the fdisk screen it says there are no disks to install to. The installation can be done in safe mode however. When the installation is finished these machines hang during startup unless booted in safe mode. I have seen instructions on the web for creating a safe mode kernel that can boot without problems, but since these these machines will be used for testing so it is important to have the normal kernel.

I've tried copying the file, and tarring it in place, and a number of other things,and I just can't seem to figure out how to resolve the problem. Is there a setting someplace that I can change to make it play nicely with large files? I would think that having a limit on the size of files would cause problems not only with files like this, but also with databases and such, so there must be some way to find the necessary information.

httpd_flags=-DSSL?
I've searched plenty looking for the proper method to get apache2 to start up at boot time with little success. I've tried the various combinations of httpd_flags/apache2_flags/apache_flags= to my rc.conf file to no avail: bobby# cat rc.conf blah, blah, blah... apache_enable=YES httpd_flags=-DSSL blah, blah, blah... bobby# What's the trick?

how do I ... burn an audio CD from .WAV files _and_ add cd-text ?
I have wav files. The wav files come from cds that did not have cd-text information on them, so I have no cd-text examples or source files for these wav files. I want to burn an audio cd with some wav files (I know how to do this with burncd and cdrecord) BUT I also want to add cd-text to the newly created, custom audio CD. cdrecord seems as if it is able to do this, but after a night of searching, I do not see how to create the file of text necessary to do this. I am wondering if anyone out there already does this and could share their workflow / work-description ? thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Req: Video Caching Solution
Hello, I would like to know how to go about setting up a video caching solution. I have a Video streaming server, and 3 geographically distant locations. I want to be able to use the caching facility to provide video on demand to all my users. Full or part caching of videos could be done at their locations, so that they would not feel the lag. Another option would be to have the videos synchronised at each of servers at the different locations. The main issue is the users base. I have currently 500 users. My videos are DVD quality and therefore require a 10Mbit/s bandwidth per user per video. Worst case scenario, all users watching the complete set of 50 videos at the same time. How do I go about doing this? Anyone done this before? Or maybe you could point me in the right direction. Thank you all. -- ___ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only thing it doesnt do is create symbolic links which does not mark a port as BROKEN for one, secondly why would you remove your browser_plugins dir? -- Dev Tugnait [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
