bind and multiple a records
On FreeBSD 6.0 with bind9, if I define a host to have multiple A records, such that some IP addresses are listed more than once, for example: . . . www 600 IN A 192.168.1.1 600 IN A 192.168.1.2 600 IN A 192.168.1.1 . . . Will those addresses listed more than once show up more often as the answer to name server requests (or more often as the first address since it lists all addresses in response alternating the order)?? I am trying to achieve really crude weighting in my load distribution. I've been running this way for some time and in looking at snapshots of server traffic, it sometimes look like it is doing so and sometimes not, but my measurements are not really accurate.

Upgrade path from 4.7 STABLE to 4.11 or 5.4

The server is located in a co-location 5 hours drive from where I'm so a network upgrade without problems would be perfect. :-) Should I just run a cvsup with RELENG 4_11 and upgrade src/ports, compile a new kernel and make world or should I go through the varous versions up to 4.11 step by step? Also, are there any imidiate problems upgrading 4.11 to 5.4? Thanks for your help! Best regards, Andreas W.

Re: Upgrade path from 4.7 STABLE to 4.11 or 5.4
I would go right to 4.11 using cvsup. If you want to go from 4.11 to 5.4, you may be better off taking the drive and doing a binary upgrade, as anything that may go wrong may require you to be at the console. I recently cvsup'd a server from 4.11 to 5.4 and it went ok, but I did need to access the console during the process. If you end up doing the upgrade to 5.4, you may as well go to 6.0 while you are at it. -Derek At 08:25 AM 4/23/2006, Andreas Wideroe Andersen wrote: Hi all, I have a 4.7 STABLE (production) server and I need to upgrade it to atleast 4.11 STABLE.

Some of Intel's 64-bit processors doesn't do that though (I'm specifically thinking of the older IA-64, or Itanium processors), while others do offer that functionality IIRC.

Re: Same error with all ports install!
Marwan, Did you run memtest86+? That is the true tell-tale sign that something RAM-related does or does not work. You may also have a bad slot on your motherboard, so moving the RAM around to try and get it to work is a good way to troubleshoot your given issue in compiling things. If you do move the RAM chip, make sure to firmly place it in its destination slot. If you don't your computer will report errors with the RAM chip, which are erroneous to the problem that you currently have.

Re: Same error with all ports install!
I want to direct the focus in the correct direction on this. Based on your described symptions, bad RAM is the _most_ likely cause. There are other things that could cause it, however. So _before_you_do_anything_else_, run memtest86. I recommend the standalone boot-from-CD version, as it's more thorough in its testing. Let it run for at least _8_ hours (or until you see errors). Any errors from memtest86 are bad. Even just a few errors per hour is unacceptable. If memtest86 produces errors, you can then start experimenting with different chips in different slots. After each change, use _memtest86_ to see if the problem is solved. I don't recommend using port compiles to test your RAM, it's not a reliable approach. Also, read the docs on memtest86. There's a lot of good advice on finding RAM problems. Garrett Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Marwan, Did you run memtest86+? That is the true tell-tale sign that something RAM-related does or does not work. You may also have a bad slot on your motherboard, so moving the RAM around to try and get it to work is a good way to troubleshoot your given issue in compiling things. If you do move the RAM chip, make sure to firmly place it in its destination slot. If you don't your computer will report errors with the RAM chip, which are erroneous to the problem that you currently have.

GDM sessions....
Hello, I am toying with GDM a bit. And am having some difficulties configuring it the way I want. I had looked at the FreeBSD/GNOME handbook and found no mention of places for 'support' (mailing-lists, irc, etc). I was hoping someone could point me towards a good source of info. Should anyone be interested in the problem at hand: I have GDM installed and working. I *do not* have gnome installed. I was hoping GDM would do as XDM and just run my .xsession. But it does not. I would simply like it to be an XDM replacement. I've googled a bit and not found the answer. I did find a reference to creating a .xprofile file. I copied my .xsession file to .xprofile, and it at first appeared to be exactly what I wanted except... when I exit my windowmanager (hoping to logout), I was then sent to a twm session. I must exit the twm session to get returned back to GDM. Any tips would be appreciated. -- Regards, Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The last I'd heard, BIND implemented multiple-RR round-robin'ing but not relative weighting if a RR is specified several times. Note that you're probably never going to achieve fine-grained control by using DNS load-balancing anyway, since client-side caching behavior is more significant than what your side does. If you actually need load-balancing to do something, you're better off implementing it between a front-end DTS box (an Alteon or something like that if need be) and a bunch of back-end servers which actually implement meaningful load-balancing based on the workload of your back-end servers... -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If memtest86 shows *any* errors it means that the RAM does not work as it should and you should expect you system to crash or otherwise misbehave at inopportune moments. If you run memtest86 for a long time (24 hours or more) and it does not show any errors then the memory probably good. If memtest86 shows any error (not matter if it is after 2 minutes or after 2 days) then there is definitely a problem with the memory. (It might be the CPU which is bad also, but that is rare.)

If you can adjust the memory timings in BIOS (which is usually possible) check that they are not set too optimistically.

rt61 based wlan card and freebsd
I have D-Link's AirPlus G DWL-G510 (rev.C) wireless pci card. It has Ralink's rt61-chip which I understand not having native support in Freebsd. (I'm using Release 6.1-RC1) So I ran ndisgen succesfully with the drivers from cd supplied with the card and after trying to use the card it gave error about not finding firmware. I downloaded the firmware and the errors stopped, but the card works only partially. It does some things like scan wireless networks correctly, but it fails to connect and doesn't accept all settings. It doesn't give any errors though. Card works in WinXP and using Ralink's drivers it even works as an access point. Ralink has also Linux drivers. I guess there isn't any way to build a freebsd driver from those? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I can't spell my own name in UTF-8, base 64 encoded
Hi: So, I finally decided to get OpenLDAP set up to serve an address book independent of where I am and on what computer. The problem is that unless an attribute value is ascii, values have to be in UTF-8 and base64 encoded(?), as I could understand from googling. But, I can't even spell my own name in that encoding! So question is: How do I most easily populate my directory? Is there a tool that can convert an iso-8859-1 ldif to utf-8+base64 ldif? Will ldap queries also have to be encoded UTF-8+base64 as well? Have I misunderstood the bit about base64, that this is only required for binary data such as jpeg images? All documentation I have found tells how easy it is to get data out in UTF-8 ldif, but I really need to get the data in there first.

Yes I ran memtest86 from a bootable cd on the two DDR chipsets and after like 10+ hours It found 3 errors! is it reasnable? Anyhow I replaced the two DDR with diffrent 1 256 DDR chipset and it start to give the error I wrote in my email. But I didnot run the memtest86 on the new RAM (well it not brand new) i had it somewhere. I will run the memtest86 on the new installed ram, and let you know. Thank you again. Marwan. I want to direct the focus in the correct direction on this. Based on your described symptions, bad RAM is the _most_ likely cause. There are other things that could cause it, however. So _before_you_do_anything_else_, run memtest86. I recommend the standalone boot-from-CD version, as it's more thorough in its testing. Let it run for at least _8_ hours (or until you see errors). Any errors from memtest86 are bad. Even just a few errors per hour is unacceptable. If memtest86 produces errors, you can then start experimenting with different chips in different slots. After each change, use _memtest86_ to see if the problem is solved. I don't recommend using port compiles to test your RAM, it's not a reliable approach. Also, read the docs on memtest86. There's a lot of good advice on finding RAM problems. Garrett Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Marwan, Did you run memtest86+? That is the true tell-tale sign that something RAM-related does or does not work. You may also have a bad slot on your motherboard, so moving the RAM around to try and get it to work is a good way to troubleshoot your given issue in compiling things. If you do move the RAM chip, make sure to firmly place it in its destination slot. If you don't your computer will report errors with the RAM chip, which are erroneous to the problem that you currently have.

Four round trips of as much as 25,000 miles is a bit more than
half a second. The typically employed interleaving/deinterleaving
and error correction coding means you can easily add another half
a second to the path.
(Of course, for something like the data mode operation on Inmarsat-M,
which is 2400bps max, it was pretty bad. As part of testing the
implementation I ran an interesting test. Satellite from Torrance to

was useable for the testing) back to LAX by unknown path thence
tymnet to a service in Mass to connect to the Internet and then
connect back to itself via TCP/IP was a LONG SLOW interactive session.
Then I made a 1 megabyte file transfer. It worked. It was signed off.

Can you tell me what it is you like (and dislike) about wdm (i've not heard much about wdm)? port = x11/wdm Very few dependencies (in particular, it doesnt depend on the GNOME or KDE lot). Quite configurable. it just works. looks better than the original XDM, though i didnt spend too much time playing with XDM itself... i may go back to XDM, just to have less ports on my system.

ftp server
Dear FreeBSD: I can get to your web page www.freebsd.org/cgi//pds.cgi?ports/editors/staroffice52. I can find the staroffice52 info, one of which is sources. when I click on sources I arrive at a page which gives me a lot of ftp sites for downloading so-5 2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin, or 109939-03.tar.Z. However, when I enter ftp.csua.berleley.edu/pub/.1/ports/distfiles/staroffice52/ (no quotes) into my trustry little ftp software package, I cannot connect. I have been able to download openoffice from ftp.freebsd.org, but I don't want openoffice. Is there something wrong with ftp.csua, or is there something with newbe me? Hope you can help, thanks. ___ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

I use xfce4, and launch xfce session from my .xsession file. If you cant figure out how to tie it all together i can send relevant config files. I stuck my head in a gnome IRC channel and got some pointers. Got it running well now.

Bandwidth throttling
I'm interested in setting up a system that will give one person a guarenteed amount of bandwidth. For example. If everyone of the network is using the internet, he is guarenteed a certain amount of bandwidth, but only if he is using it. Basically, I want to give him priority on a certain amount of bandwidth, but have the rest of it up for grabs. Is this possible? and if so, where can I get more information on how to do it? -Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
