Simple DNS Configuration
Hi all,
I feel like I'm losing my mind here. It's been a while since I configured
named and I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Here is my
understanding of what is needed to get (a very basic configuration of)
named running with a few A records in place:
# sh make-localhost
append default named.conf with:
=
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/example.org;
};
=
create master/example.org with:
=
$TTL 3600; 1 hour
example.org. IN SOAns.example.org. admin.example.org. (
2006072400 ; Serial
1d; Refresh
2h; Retry
100d ; Expire
1h ) ; Minimum TTL
; Machine Names
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
host1IN A 192.168.1.1
host2IN A 192.168.1.2
host3IN A 192.168.1.3
=
append rc.conf with:
=
named_enable=YES
=
# reboot
Is there something I'm missing? This is on a fresh 6.1 install (rebuilt with
latest src) and a few random ports installed (editors and such) and no
firewall config.

iwi cannot allocate firmware DMA memory
Hi, I'm a happy FreeBSD user and I have it installed on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A4). However, I noticed recently that my iwi driver goes up and down frequently then suddenly it stops working. When I check dmesg it says: iwi0: could not allocate firmware DMA memory Earlier on 6.1-RELEASE, I was able to overcome this problem by unloading the if_iwi driver, switch of the iwi button, turn it back on and load the driver. However, this is not possible on -CURRENT (Mon Jul 17 20:06:47 AST 2006) as the moment I unload the driver, it gets automagically loaded!

Re: ICH8 chipset support?
Nick Sayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just upgraded my machine at home to a Conroy-ready motherboard - An Asus P5B. This particular motherboard has the smallest fraction of recognized devices I think I've ever come across. From what I can tell, the blame can be placed squarely on the Intel ICH8 chipset that supplies almost all of the devices in the system. USB is working, though it is recognized only generically. The ICH8 SATA ports do not seem to work properly (thank goodness for the JMicro RAID controller - which can be used without RAID). The audio subsystem, SMB controller and the Realtek on-board Ethernet aren't recognized at all. There's an nVidia PCI Express graphics card in there too, but I probably won't even run X on this machine, much less 3D stuff. I'll attach the output from pciconf -l and the dmesg.boot. At this point, it is up, sort of. Is there any hope of improving support for this system? *Some* improvement is probably pretty easy. It doesn't seem to be recognizing the System Management Bus at all, and just adding the appropriate device IDs to the kernel tables might get the basic bus exploration to occur. And then you'll see whether the drivers can attach...

Burying your head in the sand is a common method used by stupid people that have no answer to the truth. I don't blame you; you guys don't want your employers to know that you've wasted man 1000s of their dollars because you don't know the performance characteristics of the hardware you've recommended. It must be thoroughly embarrassing. I have been busy with other things the last week so I missed this interesting thread, but I will still add my $0.02 cents. I've used FreeBSD since 1.0 and 386BSD before that. As for claims that the newer versions of FreeBSD are equal or faster than the older versions, that is simply absurd. The older versions of FreeBSD are faster, in many cases a lot faster. Why? Very simple, they are -smaller-. They take less core ram, their kernels are smaller, there is less code there. All you have to do to see this is try booting FBSD 6 on a 80386 and compare it's performance to FBSD 3.X on a 386. Only in the area of filesystem performance - such as if you have a system like a Usenet News system with many hundreds of thousands of files scattered over the disk, are the newer versions faster. But, the fact is we are (hopefully) not all building our servers on 80386's these days. When the cost of multi-gigahertz equipment is as low as it is, and the cost of even 2-3 year old single gigahertz name brand servers are so cheap, this discussion is really of no importance whatsoever. Historically in 95% of installations out there, the way they solve speed problems is to throw money at faster hardware. As a business owner it costs me less money to replace every last stick of server gear in my big business every 2 years than to pay for the insurance on the van out back that the delivery boy drives. Only in extremely esoteric and high end database centers and suchlike do they start to care about code optimization and speed. And I will wager that nobody on this list is running one of those installations. I do agree with Danial that most USERS on this list are burying their heads in the sand on this issue. But I will point out that there isn't really any reason they shouldn't be. What the market wants is features, not speed. And that is what the FreeBSD developers are working on.

Re: freebsd livecd and pentium 1
Hi, hello. my name is jesus and am writing to you from argentina. i am looking for a freebsd livecd. i have just downloaded fresbie, but i am not sure if is a freebsd.org or an third-party's implementation. From where did you download the CD? Was is from a freebsd.org location? For example, I generally download fromftp.freebsd.org Try booting it and see what it says. Generally a third party will advertise their name on the boot screen. does freebsd have a live-cd ? is so, where can i download it ? The first CD in the set is essentially a 'live-cd' because you can select that option - called 'fixit' from the initial menu. Otherwise it is also the installation CD and, if you have a good enough net connection to a mirror site, can be used to do the whole installation. i want to change my win98/word97 to a real os. Seems like a reasonable thing to do. i use it because the machine is a pentium 1 with 32 mb ram. is there any bsd with GUI that can run in it ? That is pretty small. At the bare minimum level, you might be able to get it up and running, but not be able to do much of any real work on it without more memory. You didn't mention the amount of disk on the machine, but if you want to run X (needed for a Gui) then it will take more that a couple of GB and if you want KDE or Gnome to manage your Gui, it will take even more. I don't remember if Pentium I will do the trick or not, but probably will, just awfully slowly. Good luck, jerry thanks in advance, jesus __ Preguntá. Respondé. Descubrí.

max number of groups a user can be member of
Hi everybody. Could anybody tell me the reason why by default FreeBSD limits the number of groups a user can be member of to 16? Not all servers have 5000k users and today memory is not an issue. Indeed, some servers used just for services have no users apart a few staff users and users to run the services.. Once you reach the limit on an existing server, apart from modifying NGROUPS_MAX and rebuilding a new kernel, you also need to rebuild/reinstall all applications.. That's not nice. Also, modifying NGROUPS_MAX in /usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h means that every time you update your sources, you must reedit the file.. Please correct me if I'm wrong and cast some light on this issue. Please also reply to my mailbox as I'm not on the list.

Subversion web development question.
Forgive me if this question is stupid or has been answered before, more than likely this info exists, but I'm not looking in the right place. I work in a small corporation that is heavily dependent on web apps in which I am the sole developer. Currently we're using ASP on Win2K with SQL Server 2000. We've used RedHat for years on our mail / DNS servers, and have migrated to FreeBSD for both. Since ASP has pretty much been rendered obsolete by .Net, we are eventually going to migrate our web apps. Rather than continue down the road of MS technology, we have decided to migrate to PHP MySQL based on the stability we've experienced with FreeBSD running mail and DNS. I've done my homework in this regard, and the needed functionality for our needs exists in PHP, and I am in the process of setting up a development server to start the process of recoding the apps. Our development infrastructure to date works in this manner. Since I am the sole developer, and will be for the long term future, there has never been any real need to incorporate SourceSafe. Instead we run a separate development server to do all the coding. An FTP site has been set up to repository on the server. I currently use HomeSite for it's built-in FTP client. Coding is done locally, saved back to the server, and tested on the server in a browser. Testing is not done locally because our needs are such that there is a large number of static text files need to be accessed by our apps. The parameters to access these files are hard to duplicate to a workstation, and it has proved (for us anyway) to be easier to test these apps on a server that is a mirrored environment of the live server. My question is can something like this be replicated on FreeBSD w/ Subversion? I would like to setup a versioning system, but am at a loss on how the development process would operate. I have found information on how to update files on the live server from the development server, but not much in the way of how to set up a development server to get Subversion to update the files in the Apache directories. It would be trivial for me to simply set up FTP sites that map to the Apache directories, and change the permission structure to allow access to these directories, but I'd rather not create a security headache for myself down the road. Can Subversion be set up to check out a file, commit it back to the server, and test it in a browser from a workstation? Or does the file need to be moved from the Subversion directories to the Apache directories by someone w/ root privileges every time a file has been edited? Sorry if this question has been answered somewhere else, it's just that most of the info I seem to be finding is based on application development for locally run binaries in which the app is tested locally before being committed back to the server.

Re: Mail system Suggestions
Bill Moran wrote: I don't know enought about Dovecot in particular to say whether or not the speed is _purely_ the result of caching (and being written in C). But I can state a couple of reasons why the server-side cache helps. Keep in mind that IMAP is specifically designed as a clieng/server protocol. I generally have the same mailbox open from three computers: my home, my work and my laptop. When changes are made from one of these, the other two need to get synchronized. Like most people, I try to keep my mails organized into folders that don't get too big, but I still end up with 1000s of mails in each folder. Dovecot keeping a cache/index on the server side allows Dovecot to quickly provide information when the clients want to sync up. When a mail client is first started, it needs to do the equivalent of send me a list of all the emails in this folder. If Dovecot needs to scan each and every message, it can be pretty slow, but if it has an index maintained that it can more or less just ship as is, that's much faster. How often these types of overall sync operations occur under normal usage, I don't know. While I'm not an expert, I believe that Courier maintains indexes as well. Fair enough, thanks for your thoughts. I guess I'll give dovecot a spin when the right time comes (apparently it's still in beta). Meanwhile I'll stick with courier-imap.

If your development server is local (ie. on the LAN) to your workstation, I would setup Samba to share your web tree to your workstation. Once this is done you can simply create/edit/delete files right from your workstation and the changes take affect immediately on the development server. The second step is to add subversion. To do this, create the subversion repository on your development server (or on a dedidcated server somewhere) and set it up to allow remote access. Then, go get a graphical SVN client like TortioseSVN (for windows only, but mac clients exist too) and configure it to check out your repository onto that share you mounted earlier. At this point you can manage your files on your workstation and immediately check your results. Then when happy, you can commit your changes with SVN and they get committed to the repository. You don't need subversion to move files into your web tree. That's not what it does. Some other thoughts... If you like the command line, you can skip the graphical SVN client and just do it directly on the development server. That's what I do. If you did that you could also skip Samba and keep on using your FTP client, although I personally hate having to FTP files back and forth.

Currently we're using ASP on Win2K with SQL Server 2000. We've used RedHat for years on our mail / DNS servers, and have migrated to FreeBSD for both. Since ASP has pretty much been rendered obsolete by .Net, we are eventually going to migrate our web apps. Rather than continue down the road of MS technology, we have decided to migrate to PHP MySQL based on Not to start a war, but if you're switching now, you might want to look into Ruby on Rails as well. Our development infrastructure to date works in this manner. Since I am the sole developer, and will be for the long term future, there has never been Since you're changing things now, assume that you are not the sole developer anymore. You'll be thankful you did when the next developer comes along :) That's the plan :). any real need to incorporate SourceSafe. Instead we run a separate development server to do all the coding. An FTP site has been set up to repository on the server. I currently use HomeSite for it's built-in FTP client. Coding is done locally, saved back to the server, and tested on the server in a browser. Testing is not done locally because our needs are such that there is a large number of static text files need to be accessed by our apps. The parameters to access these files are hard to duplicate to a workstation, and it has proved (for us anyway) to be easier to test these apps on a server that is a mirrored environment of the live server. This sound very similar to our situation.. My question is can something like this be replicated on FreeBSD w/ Subversion? Sure. I would like to setup a versioning system, but am at a loss on how the development process would operate. I have found information on how to update files on the live server from the development server, but not much in the way of how to set up a development server to get Subversion to update the files in the Apache directories. It would be trivial for me to simply set up FTP sites that map to the Apache directories, and change the permission structure to allow access to these directories, but I'd rather not create a security headache for myself down the road. Can Subversion be set up to check out a file, commit it back to the server, and test it in a browser from a workstation? Or does the file need to be moved from the Subversion directories to the Apache directories by someone w/ root privileges every time a file has been edited? If your development server is local (ie. on the LAN) to your workstation, I would setup Samba to share your web tree to your workstation. Once this is done you can simply create/edit/delete files right from your workstation and the changes take affect immediately on the development server. Just for clarification, the dev server is not on the local LAN, it resides on the DMZ. Way back when, our dev server was on the LAN, live server on the DMZ, but we ran into a lot of issues getting some MS specific technologies working when the code was moved from the dev server to the live server. Code written for path statements had to be rewritten to run in the DMZ. Since then, the dev server has resided on the DMZ. The other reason is for remote accessibility. Having the dev server on the DMZ allows me the ability to code from home without having to punch a hole in the firewall to our internal LAN. The second step is to add subversion. To do this, create the subversion repository on your development server (or on a dedidcated server somewhere) and set it up to allow remote access. Then, go get a graphical SVN client like TortioseSVN (for windows only, but mac clients exist too) and configure it to check out your repository onto that share you mounted earlier. At this point you can manage your files on your workstation and immediately check your results. Then when happy, you can commit your changes with SVN and they get committed to the repository. You don't need subversion to move files into your web tree. That's not what it does. Fair enough, so should I assume then that the files need to be moved using SSH (for example) after su-ing to root? If so, I suppose I would be better off then just setting up Apache on my desktop, testing locally, then moving the files back to the server? Some other thoughts... If you like the command line, you can skip the graphical SVN client and just do it directly on the development server. That's what I do. If you did that you could also skip Samba and keep on using your FTP client,

The quote of his above was in direct response to my assertion that many people refuse to listen to him because he frequently engages in cheap demagogy[1]. His response? Another whole boatload of cheap demagogy, questioning the intelligence, aptitude and moral character of anyone who doesn't listen to him, by way of accusations that are wholly unsupported by facts. I could probably rest my case right there, but I think his perception (and yours) that people are not receptive to claims of FreeBSD performance problems is quite simply false. Every time a performance question is brought up, I see a flurry of calls for clarification and for the formulation of repeatable tests which are generally agreed to be an accurate gauge of the problem. People with performance problems then /sometimes/ get upset (I think because the questioning and testing tends to assume they're wrong and they get defensive about it). The problem is, scientific testing of an assertion must try to prove the hypothesis is false, and must posit (and also try to disprove) any plausible alternative explanations. There's just no reason to get upset about that. Raising questions about a claim, and trying to explain an outcome's root cause by alternative hypotheses, is in fact the /required behavior/ of critical thinkers. When the OP of a performance problem does follow through with testing, and is willing to engage civilly in a logical debate, then generally there is a successful outcome to the thread. When the OP of a problem gets emotional about it and starts spouting cheap demagogy, then other users and developers quickly will walk away from the table. Walking away from trollery is in no way equivalent to these users and developers sticking their heads in the sand on the issue. It's the predictable response of critical thinkers who recognize demagogy as a tool of /antitruth/. Those who consistently use demagogy are always more interested in winning an argument than in finding the truth, and any critical thinker either sees right through the murk of BS being tossed at them or least has enough intuitive sense to recoil from it. And that is /the only reason/ why people ignore Danial. His brand of cheap demagogy is so potent that the smell of /antitruth/ emanates from his posts in a field so strong that it might as well be a physically repelling force. He might do better in politics or religion where these trollish debating tactics are the norm. But in a community of critical thinkers, the truthiness of demagogy will rarely find any traction at all.

Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file. You want the line for hosts to be:
dns files
Also be sure named is running. While it says it is starting do a:

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org becuase i want to know if it supports a specific feature or not. so before i do and spend all that time, i just thought i would ask a simple question or 2 to this list. my problem: i have 5 domains that my sendmail server recieves mail for, and im starting to get spammed at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc etc. realistically, name1 only needs to receive at domain1, and none of the others. there are many other accounts that only need to recieve at other specific domains, and not at any of them. before i go an burn up a lot of time reading about postfix, is there a way i can solve this problem within sendmail? if not, will researching in postfix eventually lead me to the solution im looking for? if i can fix it within sendmail, id just as soon perfer to stay with that, but ill switch if i have to. thanks, jonathan If I'm understanding you correctly, consider something like this in your /etc/mail/virtusertable: # domain1.org # [EMAIL PROTECTED] name1 @domain1.orgerror:nouser # # # domain2.com # [EMAIL PROTECTED] name2 @domain2.comerror:nouser # # # domain3.net # [EMAIL PROTECTED] name3 @domain3.neterror:nouser # # This makes name1 only receive mail at domain1, name2 at domain2, and name3 at domain3.

Burying your head in the sand is a common method used by stupid people that have no answer to the truth. I don't blame you; you guys don't want your employers to know that you've wasted man 1000s of their dollars because you don't know the performance characteristics of the hardware you've recommended. It must be thoroughly embarrassing. [snip] I do agree with Danial that most USERS on this list are burying their heads in the sand on this issue. But I will point out that there isn't really any reason they shouldn't be. What the market wants is features, not speed. And that is what the FreeBSD developers are working on. Features over speed is generally the right equation, yes. But I think you're being too generous to Danial. The quote of his above was in direct response to my assertion that many people refuse to listen to him because he frequently engages in cheap demagogy[1]. His response? Another whole boatload of cheap demagogy, questioning the intelligence, aptitude and moral character of anyone who doesn't listen to him, by way of accusations that are wholly unsupported by facts. I could probably rest my case right there, but I think his perception (and yours) that people are not receptive to claims of FreeBSD performance problems is quite simply false. Every time a performance question is brought up, I see a flurry of calls for clarification and for the formulation of repeatable tests which are generally agreed to be an accurate gauge of the problem. People with performance problems then /sometimes/ get upset (I think because the questioning and testing tends to assume they're wrong and they get defensive about it). The problem is, scientific testing of an assertion must try to prove the hypothesis is false, and must posit (and also try to disprove) any plausible alternative explanations. There's just no reason to get upset about that. Raising questions about a claim, and trying to explain an outcome's root cause by alternative hypotheses, is in fact the /required behavior/ of critical thinkers. When the OP of a performance problem does follow through with testing, and is willing to engage civilly in a logical debate, then generally there is a successful outcome to the thread. When the OP of a problem gets emotional about it and starts spouting cheap demagogy, then other users and developers quickly will walk away from the table. Walking away from trollery is in no way equivalent to these users and developers sticking their heads in the sand on the issue. It's the predictable response of critical thinkers who recognize demagogy as a tool of /antitruth/. Those who consistently use demagogy are always more interested in winning an argument than in finding the truth, and any critical thinker either sees right through the murk of BS being tossed at them or least has enough intuitive sense to recoil from it. And that is /the only reason/ why people ignore Danial. His brand of cheap demagogy is so potent that the smell of /antitruth/ emanates from his posts in a field so strong that it might as well be a physically repelling force. He might do better in politics or religion where these trollish debating tactics are the norm. But in a community of critical thinkers, the truthiness of demagogy will rarely find any traction at all. i thought the consensus was stop feeding the troll? so why is thread still alive :D ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

error when upgrading 6.0-stable to 6.1-RELEASE
Hello, I'm trying to update a box from 6.0-p6 or 7 can't remember for sure which to 6.1-RELEASE. I've downloaded the source, done make buildworld, make buildkernel with a generic kernel, make installkernel, rebooted, done mergemaster -p then gone cd /usr/src and done make installworld, all without a problem. Well, make installworld blew up, it seems like a minor error it's trying to create symlinks somewhere and saying access denied as if the source directory doesn't exist. If anyone has any suggestions i'd appreciate them. The complete error is below. Thanks. Dave.

Can you resolve other domains (e.g.: freebsd.org)? Can't think of

Re: fbsd 6.1 and starting services problem
Thanks for the answer.
I think I do not need to use mergemaster.
It is a brand new install of FreeBSD 6.1.
I only copy all my scripts from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
For example the postgresql install is NOT from ports.
I instaaled it from source ( I did it many times on 5.1, 5.4
and 6.0 ).
I expect that all scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ will be
run on system start.
After login as root if I try to execute
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres.sh start, all is working
perfect.
But I need it to start after system start alone.
Here is my script:
# ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1327 Jul 24 21:25
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres.sh
#! /bin/sh
# PostgreSQL boot time startup script for FreeBSD. Copy
this file to
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql.
# Created through merger of the Linux start script by Ryan
Kirkpatrick
# and the script in the FreeBSD ports collection.

Hi,
It is my first fbsd 6.1.
I migrate a system from fbsd 6.0 to 6.1.
I have a script postgresql.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
It is executible.
Also it is working on 6.0 at startup.
But it do not runs in fbsd 6.1.
If I try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql.sh start all
is
fine.
I checked :
cat /etc/defaults/rc.conf | grep local_startup
local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d #
startup script
dirs.
It looks ok for me.
Pls. help me to find the problem.
Also fbsd do not start at boot any services with
scripts
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d .
Did you remember to use mergemaster(8) to update your
/etc scripts?
