 Ted,

 Apoligises for being difficult, I must be suffering from my super
 early mornings and information overload.

 Thank you for explaining it, my dealer has picked up on the fact that
 I'll require the PT instead of MT card that I suggested.

 Thanks again for your help, what would be the best way of grabbing the
 latest driver for em for the 1000PT card?

Thanks Ted,

Server got here, FreeBSD 6.1 went on easy as you like and then I
installed the intel card when it got here... I havent had to recompile
a thing and its detected the card fine. I've appied an IP address,
cvsup/install a few ports without any issues..


dmesg goodness:
em0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 3.2.18 port
0x4000-0x401f mem 0xfdee-0xfdef,0xfdec-0xfded irq 16

Should I grab the latest copy of the driver (off intel's website) and
recompile anyway?

 have more success installing 6.0 and then upgrading the kernel and

Hi Michael,

You'll have to clarify open regarding the WEB, DNS, and FTP ports on the
router. Are they simply port-forwarded to the internal servers (meaning
based on service ports) or do you have one-to-one NAT mapping a public IP to
an internal for each server? If it's the latter, and each machine has its
own public IP, then you can simply set DNS to point to each server
respectively:

www.mydomain.com - publicIP1 - privateIP1
 ftp.mydomain.com - publicIP2 - privateIP2

The real question is whether you have a block of public IPs or just one. But
to be honest, you can probably get away with just having a single public IP
and using port forwarding as most browsers (including Firfox and IE)
recognize the ftp and www subdomains and automatically adjust to that
protocol.

i.e. ftp.somedomain.com will automatically be translated to
ftp://ftp.somedomain.com (ftp.freebsd.org ).

Derek,

Actually my domain is a subdomain (e.g. mysubdomain.domain.com), and
obviously the domain server for domain.com points correctly to my
site.
What I want to have (mostly for the sake of configuring DNS) is
something like www.mysubdomain.domain.com, and
ftp.mysubdomain.domain.com.

Can my second BSD machine be the secondary DNS?

When you say set it up correctly on the router, you mean forwarding
the requests from port 53 to the BSD machine, running BIND? Or there
are extra steps that I need to take?

Re: DNS beginner question

You need a second IP for the secondary server.  With a single public IP and 
port forwarding, you get only one destination.


All you need is to add entries to DNS maps for the other host records you 
want.  I assume your DNS is being hosted elseware now, so just have them 
add the two additional host records.

 For some reason, we found that cvs export truncated a couple of

 Is it normal that the class.session only has a U in front of the

 Am I doing something wrong or is it some sort of bug/limitation with
 the cvs export function ?

From cvs man:

RE: sshd/mysql errors.

2006-07-06 Thread fbsd
First host73.maxim.net is an individual PC on the maxim.net domain.
You want to find the domain IP address.
nslookup maxim.net gives 192.168.48.66
or use dig maxim.net or whois maxim.net

Looks more and more like the packets are spoofed and maxim.net is as
much a victim as you are.

Adding a firewall deny rule for will 192.168.48.66 stop all traffic
from that domain.


The real question is, do you really have real remote users who ssh
into your system and or have remote users who access your mysql
system?

If not then add a firewall rule to deny the sshd  mysql port
numbers
from entering your system from the public internet.

First thoughts is you are under attack and hosts.allow is
doing it's job of denying access.

Add the ip address from the warning message to your firewall

Good chance attack packets are spoofed.

Re: vinum stability?

2006-07-06 Thread Chuck Swiger

Jeremy Ehrhardt wrote:
We've been testing this box as a 
file server, and it usually works fine, but smartd reported a few bad 
sectors on one of the drives, then a few days later it crashed while I 
was running chmod -R on a directory on drugs and had to be manually 
rebooted. I can't figure out exactly what happened, especially given 
that RAID 5 is supposed to be robust against single drive failures and 
that despite the bad blocks smartctl claims the drive is healthy.


As soon as you notice bad sectors appearing on a modern drive, it's time to 
replace it.  This is because modern drives already use spare sectors to 
replace failing data areas transparently, and when that no longer can be done 
because all of the spares have been used, the drive is likely to die shortly 
thereafter.


RAID-5 provides protection against a single-drive failure, but once errors are 
seen, the RAID-volume is operating in degraded mode which involves a 
significant performance penalty and you no longer have any protection against 
data loss-- if you have a problem with another disk in the meantime before the 
failing drive gets replaced, you're probably going to lose the entire RAID 
volume and all data on it.



I have three questions:
1: what's up with gvinum RAID 5? Does it crash randomly? Is it 
considered stable? Will it lose data?


Gvinum isn't supposed to crash randomly, and it reasonably stable, but it 
doesn't seen to be as reliable as either a hardware RAID setup or the older 
vinum from FreeBSD-4 and earlier.


As for losing data, see above.

2: am I using a SATA controller that has serious problems or something 
like that? In other words, is this actually gvinum's fault?


If you had a failing drive, that's not gvinum's fault.  gvinum is supposed to 
handle a single-drive failure, but it's not clear what actually went 
wrong...log messages or dmesg output might be useful.



3: would I be better off using a different RAID 5 system on another OS?


Changing OSes won't make much difference; using hardware to implement the RAID 
might be an improvement, rather than using gvinum's software RAID.  Of course, 
you'd have to adjust your config to fit within your hardware controller's 
capabilities.

Passing Parameters from BSD to Linux and Back

2006-07-06 Thread Frank Jahnke
I use a few Linux programs on FreeBSD, and sometimes they invoke other
programs that use command line options. I have never been able to get
this parameter passing to work. 

For example, PDF files read by Acroread can contain links to a web
browser or an email program; these are often invoked as program-name 
%s in the set-up file. VMware does the same with invoking a browser
from defaults set in a config file.

I am able to get the appropriate program to open, but the parameters are
never passed. I have tried many, many schemes to quote or escape the
command and its options, but never have any of these worked.

Any suggestions on how I might do this would be most appreciated!

Frank

using fping to monitor internet connection status

2006-07-06 Thread Paul Hamilton
Hi,
 
I need to monitor a number of IP addresses, so that if they ALL go down (say
three IP's), then that is a pretty good indication that my server has lost
internet connectivity.  The most probable cause is usually the ADSL router,
and therefore needs a reboot.  I was hoping to use the 'fping' program, but
looking through the man file, there doesn't seem to be an exit status on
loosing ALL the pings.
 
If one goes down, I don't care, maybe that server is down, so keep pinging
the other two etc.
 
I was hoping to write this in Perl (the first fping example looked ok, until
I realised that it would activate when any one IP address became
unreachable, which means that I am still connected to the Internet).
 
Any idea's on a ping tool or simple script?

Pseudo code for perl or sh or pretty much any language that can run 
commands and determine exit staus:


   Set a variable to 0
   For each server
 ping server and if it fails increment variable
   End foreach

   If variable == number of servers then all pings failed.  Variable 
contains number of unsuccessfully pinged servers.


Or

   Set a variable to 0
   For each server
 ping server and if succeeds, increment variable
   End foreach

   If variable == 0 then all pings failed.  Variable contains number of 
successfully pinged servers.


From sh ping -c 1 -q host  /dev/null 21 will ping host and set 
status with no actual output.


Never heard of fping.

Re: SATA300 Controllers

2006-07-06 Thread Alain Hebert

   Hi,

   I've been having the same issues.

   The conclusion of my testing is that type of card (aka Adaptec 
1210SA, Promise PDC2* ) are not stable, reliable, performant.

   (For my taste btw)

   The underlying technology is just mickey mouse:

  They store the config on drive (ok);
  They dont accelerate mirror that much. (mirror function in driver);
  If you loose a drive your filesystem jam (since the mirror 
function is in the driver);

  You have to rebuilt via the bios (long downtime).

   The best card are the 3ware 9000/9500 series.  Which is a real hard 
implementation.


   FYI: I have both success with Marvell 88SX5041 SATA150 and Promise 
PDC20378 SATA150.


   I had major failure under load with Adaptec 1210SA and Promise TX2300.

   Good luck.

Your test would be a little simpler if you just test one IP address: 
your ISP's upstream router. Its reachability is quite definitive re: 
whether your ISP link is up or down.


Even it it's assigned dynamically by DHCP, you should be able to 
write a script that pulls that IP, pings it a few times, and checks 
the result. No special tools necessarily required.

The solution to this problem is not, of course, to start slapping GUI
wrappers around newfs_msdos, but to read about newfs_msdos and become
acquainted with its options.

You don't *have* to be ``un-terminal savy'', whatever that means.

Have you tried firing up a terminal, and typing:

% man newfs_msdos

The manpages are a huge wealth of information, and there are so many
tools that have neat command-line options that it would be a terrible
waste to miss them all because you didn't check the manpages :)

  need cups (luckely imho) but works very well with the standard unix
  lpd.

OK, the definition for perfectly does not agree with my statement.
Otoh, my laserjet uses 600dpi and that is (for normal use) quite good.
If I need higher qualities I use a printshop.
As I understood the OP is a home user and in that sence 600dpi is ok.
As for the heads: you have a point there.
I could live with that and would buy a one-head-cartridge though;-)

And, most importantly (to me), NO cups ;-)

Re: Conflict between avahi and howl/mDNSResponder

2006-07-06 Thread dick hoogendijk
 Currently, avahi conflicts with howl/mDNSResponder.
 The current conflict has the following consequence: I cannot update the
 applications that depend on avahi because avahi cannot be updated.

This issue was solved quite some time ago. The agreement still stands as I
remember.

php5-extentsions broken

2006-07-06 Thread Mike Loiterman
After installing the php5-extensions port, I get lots of the following
errors when trying to start Apache:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: U\x89\xe5WVS\x83\xec\x14\xe8: Unable to
initialize module\nModule compiled with module API=20020429, debug=0,
thread-safety=0\nPHPcompiled with module API=20050922, debug=0,
thread-safety=0\nThese options need to match\n in Unknown on line 0 

Apache and php are working fine - I can get to the phpinfo page without
problems.  Its just that the extensions aren't being found for somereason.

I have treid adding their location to the extensions_dir directive in
php.ini with no luck.

I have done a portupgrade rRfo lang/php5 php5 which should upgrade
everything related to php5 and it does, but somehow the extension are not
being found.

Any ideas?

  36% packet loss is very high, it will almost make TCP unusable.
  ping is your tool. Use -s 500 to 1500 to simulate some-how real traffic

  your bandwidth utilization? Are you sure your link is OK? check this with
  your service provider.
 
  Either you link is bad or you use all your available bandwidth.
 
   I want to use my freebsd box running 6.0 but just want to know if
   some one could recomend me wich ports to check to see if i can find
   wich device is causing this problem.
 
  FreeBSD can not help you much with this. Unless FreeBSD is the router
  in question. Or you could pass all traffic from a FreeBSD box in order to
  know what's going on. something like this
 
  central-switch--FBSD--router-1=router-2
  [LAN] [-WAN-]

No i dont administer those routers, i need to check if the problem
 is our network or the ISP link, and yes is Point To Point link and
 talk with the guys that setup that router, but im thinking in put a
 freebsd box between our lan and the router and sniff all the traffic
 and see whats is happening but wich port to use...?

ntop can show how much bandwidth is used by whom
There are many available and I'm not sure ntop is the
best choice. There is pfSense which is a FreeBSD based
live-CD for router-like installations. pfSense has ntop
package. it won't hurt trying it out.

 , thanks all for
 your help.

Ethereal is for read packets but can he check wich one device is
 causing problems..?

device causing problems? Do you mean computer using
a lot of bandwidth? You can check this with ntop(and a thousand
others I guess, use google)



  Well to find how is causing my loss of packets, iam using ntop
right now and ethereal, i try to find out who is causing the lost of
packets, any recomendations...?

I'm not sure I'm understanding your situation properly, but packages
really work best if you are willing to live with whatever the default

the ports system will do so a lot easier than autofetched packages.

Charlie Sorsby wrote:
[ ... ]

PS It would be really helpful if each port/package at freebsd.org
had an indication whether it requires the latest and greatest
version of freeBSD.  Put another way, it would be nice to know the
oldest version of freeBSD it will work with.  Perhaps that could be
included in the Requires list on the page for the port/package.
The people maintaining the ports attempt to support them on all of the active 
versions of FreeBSD, which means 4.10 or 4.11, 5.3 and later, 6.0 and later, 
and -CURRENT (what will become 7.0).


I find it hard to believe that 4.10 and 4.11 are even considered
active versions; I can't find anything about either at the web
site.  Try putting 4.11 into the search box on the freebsd.org home
page.


4.11 is a legacy version and will be supported through Jan 31, 2007:

http://www.freebsd.org/security/
http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html

4.x is no longer recommended for a new installation.


Anyway, I'm afraid that I haven't had much luck with new versions
of ports relative to those distributed on the 4.11 CDROM and, in
fact, have had problems trying to install some of those.  When I
installed 4.11, I did have sysinstall install /usr/ports.  Frequently
trying even to install from that directory tree fails.


You need to update your ports tree.  Read the fine documentation:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html


My experience has been that trying to install ports on 4.11
frequently produces complaints that it can't find some *4.11*
directory at freeBSD.org.


If your ports tree comes from the original CD, you're trying to fetch old 
versions of the packages which have been updated since.


Support for 4.x is going away soon, 


Are you sure it isn't already gone?


Yes.


however, and it will become more common for new ports to not
work on 4.x as  time passes.


With each successive (major) version of freeBSD, it becomes less
and less like BSD and more and more invented here.  I suggest
that the BSD be dropped from the name of the operating system
currently being produced.


You're welcome to your opinion, even if it smells like flamebait to me.

For those ports that do not work with an older version like 4.x because of 
features added to more recent versions of the operating system, ports usually 
will indicate this in the Makefile.


Are you saying that the only way to tell is to fetch the new
version of the port, unpack it, and read the Makefile?


Nope.  There's cvsweb access and sites like freshports.org...


I just looked in the Makefile for .../graphics/gphoto2 that I just
fetched from freeBSD.org -- specifically from:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gphoto2stype=all)

I could find nothing about an OS version but it may just be that I
don't know specifically what to look for.

In any event, build failed:

Thursday,  6 Jul, 2006 -- 10:56:22 MDT

Stop in /home/crs/Incoming/Ports/gphoto2.


Supporting sed -e/REINPLACE_CMD happened somewhere around 4.8 or 4.9, so your 
version of the port Makefiles apparently predate this.


Your ports infrastructure is rather non-standard and being so far out-of-date, 
isn't likely to work properly without being updated per the directions above, 
although you could always go your own way and compile the software for yourself...


[ ... ]

Charlie

PS Having used real BSD (4.[123], SunOS 4.1, etc), I wouldn't even
buy a PC until FreeBSD became available.  Now I find that each
successive release of freeBSD is less and less BSD and more and
more something else.  That's why I'm still using 4.11 (and probably
will continue to do).  I think the powers-that-be at freebsd.org
should seriously consider dropping the BSD part of the name.


Yeah, you said that above, too.  Feel free to use another operating system if 
you find something that suits you better

We probably need to add a pkg-message to sunbird.
The version of sunbird in ports has some chrome
problems and you must run sunbird as root once before
it will run as normal user. Hopefully sunbird will have another
release soon with a fix.

In a previous round with this hardware (but with 6.0-RELEASE), I had 
gone as far as installing KDE with a very similar xorg.conf and with 
similar errors/warnings IIRC.  Since KDE would take several minutes to 
start (*noticeably* longer than XP, like 5-10 mins), I want to make sure 
that these errors are not the underlying cause for the bad performance.


The first warning (together with some surrounding messages) is:

(**) R128(0): Using external CRT for display
(II) R128(0): Primary Display == Type 3
(WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none specified.
Disabling programming of FP registers.
(II) R128(0): PLL parameters: rf=2950 rd=65 min=12500 max=35000; xclk=13000
(II) Loading sub module ddc

The error and the other warnings are as follows:

(II) Loading sub module i2c
(II) LoadModule: i2c
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libi2c.so
(II) Module i2c: vendor=X.Org Foundation
compiled for 6.9.0, module version = 1.2.0
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8
(II) R128(0): I2C bus DDC initialized.
(II) R128(0): I2C device DDC:ddc2 registered at address 0xA0.
(II) R128(0): I2C device DDC:ddc2 removed.
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
(WW) R128(0): config file hsync range 30-69kHz not within DDC hsync ranges.
(WW) R128(0): config file vrefresh range 50-110Hz not within DDC 
vrefresh ranges.

(II) R128(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 30.00-69.00 kHz
(II) R128(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-110.00 Hz
(II) R128(0): Clock range:  12.50 to 350.00 MHz

From my research, DFP (and FP) refers to Digital Flat Panel.  Since 
according to the r128 man page, Option Display defaults to FP, I 
added Option Display CRT, but it didn't make any difference.


So, is there any harm to the WW's and EE above?  Could they be the cause 
for the bad KDE performance?


One other doubt:  at times, if I run say, xdm, the initial screen is a 
garbled up version of the XP logon screen and it lingers for a while, 
and at least once, the PC got locked up, the Ctrl-Alt-Fx combinations 
couldn't switch to other VTs (as I had seen with KDE during the long 
startup) nor did Ctrl-Alt-Bksp kill the X server and the only thing that 
stopped it was a dreaded Ctrl-Alt-Del.  Since I haven't really used X 
before, I don't know if this is normal or not.

Yes, I mentioned that in my original message.

I think the problem was that I had debug turned off when I built php.  For
some reason, it needs to be on for some of my modules to work correctly.
Others work fine with it off.  

Any ideas about this?

last i read extensions_dir is supposed to be commented out.  See if
commenting it out works. I JUST now updated from php4 to php5 and its
working fine.

From /usr/ports/UPDATING:

20040719:
  AFFECTS: users of PHP
  AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been split into 'base' PHP,
  PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new
features.
  Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP
  installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
  PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear
ports, while
  the set of PHP extensions to install can be chosen via the meta-ports
  lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular
  extensions individually.
  If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out
  the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled
  into the PHP binary.
  For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use
  the command php -m.

Hmm.  Works for me.  A web link in a PDF in Acroread (7) brings up the

Unable to boost maxusers in custom kernel.

2006-07-06 Thread Worth Bishop
Running FreeBSD 4.3 (I know - upgrade on the way, but would like to know 
what's going on here for future ref), on AMD Athlon MP 1600 (1393.79-MHz 
686-class CPU) with 1.5 Gb RAM. Ran up against 'too many files' problem, 
dropped packets, maxing out mbuf's, proc files, etc.


Attempted to compile custom kernel based on GENERIC only by changing 
maxusers from 32 to (first) 512, then 256, then 128. No matter what, system 
rebooted with 32 maxusers, 4096 mbugs, 1024 max mbuf clusters, 1024 
maxfiles. Can reset maxfiles via sysctl, but why won't maxusers stick?


Have tried building both with:

#  /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
#  cd ../../comple/MYKERNEL
#  make depend
#  make
#  make install
#  reboot

and with

#  cd /usr/src
#  make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
#  make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
#  reboot

No discernable error messages.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Acroread now works for me as well.  This did not used to be the case; I
updated Acroread about a week ago and had not tried this again.  (What
does .mailcap do?  I surmise from the name that it is like termcap for
mail entries...).  Maybe it is that upgrade?  Or a change in how the
desktop environment interacts with aware programs?

I am still unable to open the help browser from within VMware; the file
config simply reads: webBrowser = linux-opera %s (without the quotes).
linux-opera is found, but the string %s is not passed at all.  Invoking
linux-opera with a command-line flag works as expected.  I think it uses
a Motif set for its interface.

I think I have source for VMware; let me look at the calling sequence.

If you build the template jail in it's own partition and then 
dump(8) it to a file, you can then restore(8) it to where ever it 
needs to be and it will work fine.


If you don't have an empty partition to use, you can use mdconfig(8) 
to create a vnode backed memory disk to build the template jail in.


I just finished putting together a system with about 20 jails that

Re: jail login and replication problems

2006-07-06 Thread Dan Rue
Sure - Had to consult my IRC logs to remember what my problem was.
Turns out, my umask was set to 027, and so the root directory of the
jails was drwxr-x---   7 root  wheel  512 Jul 27 13:18 /jails/myjail..

I would search for similar permissions issues, 

Hope that helps, 
drue

 Hi Dan,
 
 Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I've had the exact same
 problem, and have tried various different things to resolve it... all
 to no avail. It's really annoying have to remake the jail from scratch
 every time, as I'd much rather do the configuration once, and use it
 as a cookie-cutter for future jails.

 Greetings,
 
 I am setting up multiple jails on a machine.  The first jail, everything
 works fine.  If I add a user, that user can log in.  If I tar cvzpf the
 jail, tar xvzpf to create a new one, some people can log into the new
 jail, and some can not.
 
 The user that can log in to the new one was the first user created (me),
 but any subsequent users can not log into new jails..
 
 The symptom is right after accepting the password via ssh, the
 connection will just get dropped.  I could not find any good error
 messages using ssh..  But if I enable telnet and try to telnet in, I
 receive this error in /var/log/messages:

 The permissions on those files are fine.
 
 So what would cause that error in jails that have been replicated using
 tar, but only to some users?  I'm stumped..
 
 Here's my rc.conf exerpt:

Re: Simple DNS For Private LAN -- SOLVED

2006-07-06 Thread Drew Tomlinson
I finally had time to fiddle with this and everything is working fine.  
I used your examples and the view statement mentioned my Mathew Seaman 
to build a BIND 9 DNS server that is authoritative for 
mykitchentable.net. that is viewable only from clients in my private 
LAN.  My public DNS information is still hosted by ZoneEdit.com as it 
was before.


Thank you for your help.  I left your instructions intact below so that 
someone else may benefit from your efforts when searching the archives.


Thanks,

If you use NAT, then I can guide you through setting up a local
``master zone'' that is only visible inside your home network, and a
``slave zone'' that pulls stuff from ZoneEdit for the
``mykitchentable.net'' domain.  I already have a similar setup at
home, to let my internal systems (workstation, laptop) see each other
with internal names and still use my ISP's name servers for
everything else.

If you don't use NAT, things are going to be much easier, since you
only have to set up the names at ZoneEdit and pull the master zone
from there.
  

Thank you for your reply.



You're welcome of course :-)

  

I use NAT for my servers that are visible from the outside so I set
ZoneEdit to return the same address for all servers at
mykitchentable.net which is currently 67.137.238.101.



Excellent!  This is exactly what I was hoping the setup would be.

  

Thus www.mykitchentable.net, drew.mykitchentable.net,
mykitchentable.net, and whatever else. all return 67.137.238.101.
Based up this, it seems that I should leave ZoneEdit alone and set up
a local master zone visible only to my private LAN as you describe
above.  Being a slave and pulling from ZoneEdit wouldn't have any
benefit as the public address won't equal the private address.



Quite right.

  

So assuming I understand correctly, yes, please guide me in setting up
a local master zone.



Assuming that your local home network uses addresses in the
192.168.0.0/16 range, you have to set up a local name server which will
recognize and reply for the following zones:

drew.   # *.drew are local home network names
192.168.0.* # reverse IP address - name for home hosts
127.0.0.*   # localhost zone (optional)

Optionally, you can set up a 'slave' zone for the `mykitchentable.net'
hostnames, but this is not obligatory.

To set up the local nameserver for the local zones mentioned above, you
will need to modify (or create) at least the following files:

/etc/namedb/named.conf
/etc/namedb/master/drew
/etc/namedb/master/drew.rev
/etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev
/etc/namedb/master/localhost-v6.rev
/etc/rc.conf

After you finish setting up all these files, you should be able to:

* Resolve hostnames of the form foo.drew to IP addresses of your
  internal home network.

* Resolve IP addresses of your internal home network to hostnames of
  the form foo.drew.

* Resolve `localhost' to your 127.0.0.1 address (and its IPv6
  equivalent).

* Check your new named setup and see that it works as expected

* Troubleshoot your setup, i.e. tweak the logging level of named and
  find out what it logs through syslog

1. Setting up named.conf


The `named.conf' file is the one BIND reads to find out which `zones' to
load (a `zone' is BIND terminology for what you may have heard being
called a `domain').

The FreeBSD source tree contains a sample `named.conf' file at
`/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.conf', which normally gets installed as
`/etc/namedb/named.conf' on your system.  This file is not used, until
you decide to enable the `named' daemon though.

The sample file installed as `/etc/namedb/named.conf' includes several
commented parts that you can use as examples for writing your own
`named.conf' file.

After you have finished writing your own `named.conf' file it should
contain:

* An `options' section, with global options that apply to the way
  your `named' service works.

* Optionally, a `logging' section, with the configuration options
  that define what is logged, where it is logged, etc.

* A `root' zone entry, which points to the root DNS servers.  An up
  to date list is distributed with the FreeBSD source tree, and can
  be found at `/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.root'.

* Optionally, a `localhost' zone entry (for resolving 127.0.0.1 to a
  hostname of your choise).

* Optionally, a `localhost-v6' zone entry (for resolving the IPv6
  equivalent of 127.0.0.1 to a hostname of your choise).

* A zone entry for your internal, home network.

1.1. Global `options' for `named.conf'

The `options' section of your `named.conf' file defines stuff

RE: using fping to monitor internet connection status

2006-07-06 Thread Murray Taylor
I use fping in an embedded system via a shell script that 

- pings a user settable list of hosts
- records 'presence/absence' of a host
- determines changes from the previous cycle
- notifies me via a SMS sender with a 'human readable' message
derived from the hosts list (ie Level 3 east switch is missing)


NB I also listen for SNMP traps from appropriately cabable devices

Fping is in ports
/usr/ports/net/fping

 Hi,
  
 I need to monitor a number of IP addresses, so that if they

 my server

 usually the 
 ADSL router, and therefore needs a reboot.  I was hoping to use the 
 'fping' program, but looking through the man file, there 
 doesn't seem 
 to be an exit status on loosing ALL the pings.
  
 If one goes down, I don't care, maybe that server is down, so keep 
 pinging the other two etc.
  
 I was hoping to write this in Perl (the first fping example 
 looked ok, 
 until I realised that it would activate when any one IP 
 address became 
 unreachable, which means that I am still connected to the Internet).
  
 Any idea's on a ping tool or simple script?
   
 
 
 Pseudo code for perl or sh or pretty much any language that 
 can run commands and determine exit staus:
 
 Set a variable to 0
 For each server
   ping server and if it fails increment variable
 End foreach
 
 If variable == number of servers then all pings failed.  
 Variable contains number of unsuccessfully pinged servers.
 
 Or
 
 Set a variable to 0
 For each server
   ping server and if succeeds, increment variable
 End foreach
 
 If variable == 0 then all pings failed.  Variable 
 contains number of successfully pinged servers.
 
  From sh ping -c 1 -q host  /dev/null 21 will ping host 
 and set status with no actual output.
 
 Never heard of fping.

It sounds like you were lucky with your card -- we tried a 6.1 
installation and it did not detect our Intel Pro/1000PT card, while the 
7-CURRENT driver did. A back-port of the 7-CURRENT driver looked 
relatively non-trivial, but the Intel driver for 6.x saved the day.


If it's all working properly, then you should be right to continue with 
the 6.1 driver you are currently using. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Creating vinum RAID 1 on place

2006-07-06 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi,

Is there a trick on the way to build a vinum RAID 1 without backup-in
the data first?

I have the two disk that will get mirrored. One of the disk if
formated as UFS 4.2 and already holds all the data. The second disk is
blank.

NormallyI should start with 2 blank disks, label them as vinum, create
the vinum plex, then push the data on that RAID. Is there a way to do
it without blanking both disk first (a RAID 0 on a single disk, copy
the data on the RAID 0), label the other disk as vinum and create a
RAID1?

best regards,

Olivier

It's not ported yet, though.


FWIW, xrdp compiles with minor mods to the Makefiles (remove all

There's hope that it's a relatively easy port.
