If you can do this test in a 6.X box.
Disconnect the 6.X client from the NFS (ie plug the cable off the

I've had ongoing problems with a 5.4 box that does boatloads of file IO
both on NFS and local disk (doing weird things with 10 to 12 GB of
Apache logs daily).  NFS seems to go away for a few seconds (the filer
is unpingable), then return.  Despite the 5.x branch's known problems, I
had attributed this to the fact that I'm using  bge NICs.  I
moved most of this log processing to a 6.1-RELEASE box last week (on
identical hardware), and I've seen none of the timeouts.

Hardly scientific, but my $0.02 nonetheless

I'm using HP DL380-G4 servers (onboard bge, ciss RAID), with a BlueArc
Titan for NFS.  Of course, I'm not running nfsd on the FreeBSD boxes,
they're just clients.

I changed my grub settings and the 6.1 loader now works. Heres what my

root (hd0,1,a)

Still looking for clues why "kernel /boot/loader" doesn't work on my

with 6.1 on my desktop. I'm wondering if it's a timing/deadlock issue

Re: FreeBSD 6.0 compat with DL320 G4

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

What I had to do is mount a floppy in a second machine, copy the broadcom
driver patch over to the floppy, then mount the floppy in the DL320 and
copy the driver to the system, recompile the kernel with the patched driver.

Once the initial patch for the Broadcom chip is made, it will give you
a usable enough network connection so that you can copy larger files
over without the server panicing, however without warning a file transfer
can halt due to the timeout problem.  So you still have to stand over it.

The easiest way is to buy the replacement PCI-X riser card and
use the Intel Pro 1000 MT Server adapter in it, then the system will
install and run out of the box.  But if you don't mind the floppy shuffle
you can save $30 on buying the replacement riser card and just go with
the PCI-Express riser card that comes with the system and the Intel
Pro 1000 PT Server adapter, and then when the system is installed,
copy the 7.1 driver over to it via a floppy, recompile the kernel, etc.

Urgent: Downgrading from 6.X to 5.X?

[Francisco Reyes]

How can I downgrade from 6.1 Stable to 5.5 Stable?
Having all type of problems with NFS. Both with the server and the client.
From what I read on the stable list others are having simmilar problems, 

but don't see any mention of fixes.

I need to downgrade a number of machines from 6.1 Stable to 5.5 stable

What do I need to do?
cvsup to 5.5 stable?
On the archives I see mention of a delete flag to cvsup.
Do I need to do one run with "cvsup -D" and then a regular pass?

When you restart devfs "/etc/rc.d/devfs restart" are the correct

Well, they are now.  I decided to press "Enter" at the end of the  
second line in devfs.rules.

Apparently, that's what it wanted.

That seems to me to be an inconsistency with lots of files.  Some  
want the cr/lf, some don't.

Not quite. You can't mix native binaries and linux libraries.

You need to use a php built for linux and load your .so into that.
I had to do this once and chose to run php in cgi mode from a native
apache. If you want to use php as an apache module, you'll need an
apache built for linux as well.

Java expects the name of a class, not the name of a file. You should
invoke your test using "java test"
The command "java test.java" is trying to execute a class named "java"
in the "test" package.

FWIW my classpath is:
./:/usr/local/share/java/classes/junit.jar:/usr/local/freetts/lib/

Fixed my server crashing in X with AGP video

[Derek Ragona]

I have a server that ran fine in FreeBSD 5.X but after updating to 6.0 
started crashing and rebooting from X.  I thought maybe it was some anomaly 
and hoped 6.1 would fix it.


It was still crashing, so I dove in to find why . . .

It seems with some RTFM on the nvidia driver notes, I found the agp module 
compiled into FreeBSD kernels by default in 6.0 was a known problem.


I disabled the kernel's agp putting in:
hint.agp.0.disabled="1"
in /boot/device.hints

There is a driver setting for the nvidia driver I added to my XF86Config 
telling it to manage the agp.


Since making these changes the server is completely stable running X.

I have seen other messages with other video card problems, and wanted to 
share my experience as it may help other agp video card users.

Using syslogd to log for BIND

[Josh Paetzel]

I have a nameserver running BIND 9.3.2 on a FreeBSD box running 
6.1-RELEASE.  BIND seems to log to /var/log/messages by default and I 
would like to change that behavior.  Here's what I've done so far:

syslog.conf

local1.*/var/log/bind/bind.log

*.info;mail.none;cron.none;kern.none;local0.none;local1.none;ftp.none;auth.none;
authpriv.none   /var/log/messages/messages

!named
*.* /var/log/bind/bind.log

named.conf

logging {
channel my_syslog {
syslog local1;
severity info;
};
};

I am getting the logging into bind.log which is what I want but named 
is still logging to /var/log/messages/messages

How do I disable this undesirable behaviour?

the most convenient way to batch build ports is to use
this sort of if statements in make.conf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/mysql*}
BUILD_STATIC=yes
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes
.endif

#reference
#http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/01/14/upgrading-ports-and-preserve-make-options

this will work with portupgrade even in dependancies
because the port will always look to make.conf for
default system settings.

so


.if ${.CURDIR:M*/foo/bar}
BATCH=yes
WITH_THISOPTION=yes
WITHOUT_2NDOPTION=yes
.endif

will build with and without those options. just
remember to prefix the OPTIONS in a menu config setup
with WITH or WITHOUT to enable/disable what you want.
Always make sure to remember WITH_FOO=no means
WITH_FOO=yes, it should be
WITHOUT_FOO=whatever_it_is_now_set. The good thing is
individually you can choose to use one setting over
the other, and this also ensures one ports options
don't mess things up in another ones build. I know
when I was blindly setting build options in make.conf
weird problems began to arrise until I got errors
about make.conf being too large.

this can make make.conf get large so I've been meaning
to move the port configs into port.conf instead and
reference it in like


.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr/ports/*}
include /foo/port.conf
.endif

I believe this is the correct syntax but I haven't
tried it yet. This method is how I am batch building
my servers. Ultimately I will make a Makefile to build
what I need and let it do its thing. 

I wish this method was documented better. Although it
is trivially simple if one understands makefiles so I
can see why its not really discussed. It is none the
less very effective and simple.

What I would like to know is if there is a simple way
to get the build options for every port in the
collection so it can easily be brought into a
"port.conf" file simply. I know I saw a command that
would parse the makefiles of all the ports and do
something to that effect but I can't recall it.

but I don't see anything for Open or NetBSD so I would have to say no.

Re: Questions on EXT3 vs standard BSD partitions

[Jim Stapleton]

Well, I'm not so worried about crashes, the only crashes I've had with
BSD are with power failures, and this is a notebook :-)

I was planning on having three "slices" on the drive, the first I
would blast from a linux or BSD image as needed, the second would be
ext2 or ext3 (or other?) and have "/home", and the third would be my
"/data" mount point, where I'd keep a synced copy of my Windows "My
Documents" Folder (synced with my BSD desktop and my windows machine),
as well as choice music files (it's too small for all that FLAC).

Thanks
-Jim

I haven't tried recently, but a year or so ago FreeBSD could not use ext3 as
such. There is a port that adds ext3 fsck support for syncing the journal,
FreeBSD can then mount it as ext2. The problem with that is that you then
have a choice between reliability and decent write speed according to whether
you mount it  synchronously or asynchronously.

I found that even having an  ext3 transfer partition  that's  mounted by
default was a bit of a pain, because without a journal or softupdates,
booting after a crash can take a long time.

Just a "me too."  I tried the rule quoted above on my 6.1 release 
system, and it doesn't work here either. There are no devices attached 
to the parallel port if that makes a difference.  I have several other 
similar rules that /do/ work for ulpt, da*, and pass*, but the ltp*

I had a quick look with grep and it couldn't USA_RESIDENT under /usr/src in 
6.1 at all.

It appears in three port Makefiles. In one it's passed into a scripts 
environment, but not used. In another it's used to set the default paper size 
of all things.

The only example I could find where it's used for anything meaningful is when 
xfree86 is built with the XDM_DES knob and it forces Americans to fetch their 
own copy of Wraphelp.c. There doesn't seem to be a corresponding usage in 
xorg, so maybe the  xfree86 port is just running a bit behind the times.

6-STABLE on 6 Gb RAM 2 x Xeon 3.0 HTT & GDT RAID5 - how?

[ASTESIN]

Dear FreeBSD gurus,

can anyone point me at a good FM where process of _proper_ setting up
FreeBSD 6-STABLE on 6 Gb RAM machine w/ 2 x Xeon CPU is described? It also
has ICP (former GDT) RAID controller w/RAID-5 configuration (iir0 device).

Purpose: just Apache + mod_perl + MySQL 5.x application server.
Install went fine, system boots, I'm going to try PAE kernel on it. But
somathing makes me doubt that things are going on well...

I.e. I worry about strange messages in dmesg output with regard to ACPI, see
below; will iir0 work with PAE?

Thanks in advanse!

The patch I posted to the PR database fixes that problem.  Unfortunately
there
is another problem with the broadcom driver that affects many different
broadcom
chipsets, it's a timeout error.  I gave up trying to find that one.  The
timeout
error only affects certain broadcom chips.

You can order the PCI-X riser card for this server and use an Intel Pro 1000
MT Server
card and it will work out of the box with FreeBSD 6.1

I think you're right not to try this out on your production box. Pf is
nice, and I encourage you to use it, but *please* find a test machine!
Pf works well and it's pretty easy to learn, but you almost certainly
will make mistakes in the beginning.

In addition to the fine Handbook, there's a nice pf faq at
www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ that explains a lot and has a few ruleset
examples.

If you learn your way on a test box it'll be a snap to put it in
production...

I can't think of any particular reason why it's bad; it's
the way I've always done it.  Mistakes I've made *might* have
been mitigated somewhat by placing them there; for example:

#min hr day mon wday command

15   03  *   *   *  /sbin/dump -L -0 -a -f - /usr | (cd /3;
/sbin/restore -ruvf - )

with "-v" and without a "> /dev/null 2>&1" was a big problem
(took a good while to dl root's email that day) :-D

The major advantage of periodic would be the built-in logging
functionality, should you choose to use it; cron's
advantage would be in flexibility (in regard to both
time assignment and script requirements).

My $.02,

pf on freebsd 6.1 on DMZ in m0n0wall question

[jan gestre]

hi to all,

i recently installed and configured
(postfix+dovecot+amavisd-new+clamav+dspam+roundcubemail) in my freebsd
6.1box, i placed the box in my dmz protected by m0n0wall, however i
have no
firewall on the mentioned box and i'm relying on m0n0wall to protect it. is
that ok? i'm new to freebsd and read about pf and i'm having some thoughts
of installing pf as firewall in my webmailserver but i'm afraid to mess
things up especially now that the box is already a production server, do i
really need to install a separate firewall? is it an overkill? if not then
anybody kind enough to lend a working pf configuration that allows http,
smtp and ssh, i've read the handbook but don't understand it much
particularly the firewall thing.

The problem is that read operations on usb printers might just
block/hang with no data from the printer (?). ulpt doesn't have
non-blocking I/O, so I've made a patch that simply times out read
operations, and disables further reads if it detects a blocking/stall
condition. It is possible that this breaks the back-channel, as I'm
unsure if we can expect a printer to send inbound data before we
actually write anything out?

It looks like there are similar problems with other backends? I've only
looked at the usb backend yet.

Java expects the name of a class, not the name of a file. You should 
invoke your test using "java test"
The command "java test.java" is trying to execute a class named "java"

I haven't tried recently, but a year or so ago FreeBSD could not use ext3 as 
such. There is a port that adds ext3 fsck support for syncing the journal, 
FreeBSD can then mount it as ext2. The problem with that is that you then 
have a choice between reliability and decent write speed according to whether 
you mount it  synchronously or asynchronously.

I found that even having an  ext3 transfer partition  that's  mounted by 
default was a bit of a pain, because without a journal or softupdates, 
booting after a crash can take a long time.

the end of this year.  If anyone has a good reason for me to take
the time to upgrade these before they're replaced, I'd enjoy being
corrected, as my current plan is to simply replace them with 6.1
machines when the new hardware arrives.

Sounds like what most of us with 4.11 systems are planning on doing.



Just a 'me too' here.
Seems to me a lot of FreeBSD users seem to be knee-jerk early adopters, 
and too quick to advise others to go and do likewise.
I appreciate seeing the more reasoned approach recommended in response 
to this op.

you need 755 (or 705) on your home-directory itself

the rest (in your public_html) should be 644 for files and 755 for

Re: batching port builds

[Javier Echaiz]

You can put BATCH=yes in your /etc/make.conf

The settings for each port (if it has something to config) are stored
in /var/db/ports/{port dir name}/options (just in case you want to see
what the port assumed).

If you want to configure ports (with than ncurses blues screen)
sometimes and assume defaults in other cases perhaps you should try
portupgrade -m BATCH=yes  on a need basis.

As David suggested you can always do "make config-recursive install
clean", to answer all the option questions before the port builds.

Warmly,
Javier


On 30/06/06 David J Brooks said:

If you  do 'make -DBATCH' instead of 'make' -  you will use the preset
defaults for each port with options. Or you can do
'make config-recursive' - which will offer you all the option screens for
the port in whose directory you're currently in and all its dependencies.

See 'man ports' for more information.

To use those with 'portupgrade -a' will probably take some custom scripting.


Ah, so there's no make.conf option for this?

Mike

get those errors reported to a file, probably :

# portupgrade -arvy 1>report.1.txt 2> report.2.txt
# tail -f report.1.txt

will do

i also recommend using portmanager, it's excellent and handles

FreeBSD 6.1 amd64 (Intel EMT64) and Samba 3

[DSA - JCR]

Hi all again

I am trying to install Samba in a computer with the above conf but I can´t.

I have made also a portupgrade -a in order to upgrade all the ports of the
system but I have always the same problem with samba I can get it to work
When I use Swat i always get:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libcups.so.2: unsupported file layout

I have the last Samba 3.22 from ports, and rebuilded all of them.

I have to say that some ports have errors and can not be builded. (really
I don't know which one of them, because the screen runs very quickly.
It seems that Samba is ok, because i run portupgrade -F Samba and get
nothing like if it were updated.

How can I solve this?

Is this because the amd64 flavour and is better to run the i386 one?

somebody has experienced FreeNAS? because if this is very problematic I
must think in another options, I must give the computer to my customer.

I posted this one week ago, but no reply, I found a similar post in the
hardware list's archive from February, also no reply:

Is the Atheros 5414 chipset supported by the ath driver? (FBSD 6.1)

The ath/ath_hal man-pages only mentions 52XX chipsets, but maybe they
have not been updated.

Googling, I found another post from Sam Leffler, also from february on
the stable-list, about a patch for ath_hal that is needed for the newer
5414 chipset, that he hoped to have committed before the 6.1 release,
but the link to the patch is blind.

Can anyone confirm if the newer chipset is supported, or tell where the
patch is available?

Thanks, Erik

questions

[Wei Chong Yeo]

1)May I know the threading model of FreeBSD 6? Is it user, kernel or hybrid? 
   
  2)Could you also tell me the difference between FreeBSD 5.0, 6.0 and the 
future version? also how is it different from Windows?
   
  Thanks. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
   
  yours faithfully
  Wei Chong

Linux shared libs on FreeBSD

[bill]

Hello everyone,

We have a third-party php extension that we need to use for a  
specific application here. The extension is compiled for Linux, but  
it appears that its possible to use them in FreeBSD under the Linux  
emulation.


Its not working out so well for us, unfortunately. Here's what I've  
done, and hopefully someone can point out where we've gone wrong and  
maybe suggest a fix:


1) the PHP .so has been branded using: brandelf -t Linux 

2) linux compatibility is enabled, linprocfs is mounted, etc.

3) the port linux_base-8-8.0_14 is installed and seems to be working  
properly.


I think that should about do it, no?

Here's what happens when apachectl start runs:

PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/ 
lib/php/20020429/php4_cybersource.so' - Shared object  
"libgcc_s.so.1" not found, required by  
"php4_cybersource.so" in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/ 
lib/php/20020429/php4_cybersource.so' - Shared object  
"libgcc_s.so.1" not found, required by  
"php4_cybersource.so" in Unknown on line 0
[Thu Jun 29 04:51:29 2006] [notice] Apache/1.3.36 (Unix) PHP/4.4.2  
mod_ssl/2.8.27 OpenSSL/0.9.7e-p1 configured -- resuming normal  
operations

[Thu Jun 29 04:51:29 2006] [notice] Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)

And so, libgcc_s.so.1 really exists at /usr/compat/linux/lib/ 
libgcc_s.so.1. If I go as far as symlink it into the native freebsd  
ld path, then it finds it and doesn't complain. I end up having to do  
this with about 4 or 5 other libraries until eventually it stops  
complaining about missing libraries and starts complaining about  
missing symbols within the libraries.


That's about when I stop trying to accommodate it because that's just  
getting out of hand, eh? I'm thinking that linux compatibility is not  
even playing a role in what's going on.


So that's where we are now. It would be nice to use this library, but  
the company also has a java implementation, so we might have to use  
that in a pinch. But it really would be nice to get it running within  
php.


Thanks for any help. I am not subscribed to this list for followup  
purposes.


Best wishes,
William

Nikolas:

I have been told by friends who have tested
the two.. if you use the desktop one you will
have packet loss and really not be able to get
hi performance on it... the server adaptor, however,
is much better will do a gig throughput.. don't
know what the physical diff is .. must have scrimpted
on the parts :-0

Note, I have gone through 5 of these puppy's getting
3 that work... at least they worked when I tested them
finally... 2 of the first 3 arrived with check-sum failures.

I could disable the checksum and make them work sort of.. but
then they all had a bogus mac address... I also followed
advice on the web and "re-flashed" the cards.. had to build
a windoz boot disk for this :-0.. but that did not work..

I returned two of them.. got two more.. and one came in bad.. but
re-flashing worked... very strange :-0

Good luck if you get them.. I have not taken the time to go
and play with mine yet.. once I got 3 that worked I began
a travel stint :-0

source to the nym.alias.net nymserver

[nymserv source]

Some extremely brief instructions on setting up a nym.alias.net style
nym server.  This assumes you already know about remailers and DNS,
and sendmail, and have already setup the appropriate DNS records
(either A or MX) to receive mail at a "nym" domain name on your
machine.

Make sure you have perl5.003 or later, installed with the DB_File
module.  Don't forget to run h2ph when installing perl (cd
/usr/include; h2ph *.h sys/*.h).  If you don't have DB_File, get db
from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:/ucb/4bsd/db.1.85.tar.gz, install it, and
then reinstall perl so that the DB_File module is available.

Make sure you also have a type 1 remailer running.  By default, the
type1 remailer executable is assumed to be at /usr/remail/remailer.
If you are using the ghio2 remailer, you will need to add the
following lines at the start of the main procedure (also make sure you
define PGPPATH as it will be needed for access to the randseed.bin
file):

  int lockfd;

  umask (007);
  lockfd = open (DIR "/lock", O_CREAT|O_WRONLY, 0777);
  flock (lockfd, LOCK_EX);
#ifdef PGPPATH
  strcpy(input,"PGPPATH=");
  strcat(input,PGPPATH);
  putenv(input);
#endif

Create a new userid/groupid under which to run the nym.  Call it
nymuser.

Create a directory for your nym server to reside in, for example
/usr/nym.  Copy the nymserv perl script into /usr/nym, and make three
subdirectories of /usr/nym:  pgp, queue, and users.  Make sure pgp,
queue, and users are writeable by user nymuser.

Create a PGP key for your nymserver as follows:

   setenv PGPPATH /usr/nym/pgp
   pgp -kg

Put the corresponding PGP passphrase in the file pgp/passphrase.

Create files /usr/nym/users/postmaster.forward and
/usr/nym/users/admin.forward which contain your real E-mail address.
Create a file users/remailer-key.reply which contains the PGP public
key you just created.  Create a ring prototype file.

   echo 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' > users/remailer-key.reply
   echo 'Subject: PGP key for nym.alias.net' >> users/remailer-key.reply
   echo '' >> users/remailer-key.reply
   pgp +pubring=pgp/pubring.pgp -fkxa >> users/remailer-key.reply

   cp pgp/pubring.pgp ring-proto.pgp

Edit the first few lines of the nymserv executable to set your machine
name and domain name of your nym server.  Make sure you also have
md5sum (if not, get textutils from prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu).

If you have an A record for your nymserver, set up finger support.
Put a line like this in /etc/inetd.conf:

finger  stream  tcp nowait  nymuser /usr/nym/nymserv nymserv -fingerd

Finally, make a new sendmail.cf file which sends all mail to the nym
domain name through the nymserver.  What follows is an example ".mc"
file suitable for use with sendmail 8.7.5.
