Make sure your serial increments with every change you make.
I've been ignoring that to save time while troubleshooting as (from my
understanding) it is only used by other name servers so they know to
update their information:

first retreive the SOA record and check if the serial number has incremented

How to use kernel modules from CURRENT on STABLE
Hi: I have had some problems, it seems that the drivers in -STABLE does not support my hardware fully. So I want to try out drivers on -CURRENT without switching the whole system up to current. What is the best way to do this? - checkout current and copy the relevant source into the stable source tree? - checkout and compile -CURRENT kernel and then copy relevant kernel modules? - or won't work at all? problems with linking? other? It appears that most modules don't have a separate make file, how do I compile just the module in question?

A question for the AWK wizards
Hi all,
I have a shell script which is called with an arbitrary
message argument. Punctuation excludes * ? | chars.
It processes it via an AWK command line 'script' and dumps the
result in a file for the SMS sender...
Nice and simple.
Except that the AWK script seems to duplicate the last character or two
in the message. Everything else in the 200 odd lines of shell scripts
surrounding this function run just fine, and this bit runs too,
but this tiny thing is _VERY_ annoying.
The shell code is listed below.
Please teach me what bit I missed (C and TCL are my forte, not AWK)

However i have setup a test machine, I will try the squid (dunno what to do after squid is running) and will try mpd4, As for freeradius package, its installed but also there is no good documentation what to do next? stuck.

| EOF2
You can write this as:
| echo ${msg} | ${AWK} '{printf %-0.159s, $0}' ${tmpfile}
Are you deliberately avoiding to append a newline character to the
output of ${AWK} above? See the output of the two commands below,
as it's filtered through hd(1) utility.
| $ echo foo | awk '{ printf %-0.159s, $0 }' | hd
| 66 6f 6f |foo|
| 0003
| $ echo foo | awk '{ printf %-0.159s\n, $0 }' | hd
| 66 6f 6f 0a |foo.|
| 0004
| $
There is no problem with this part of the scripts you posted though.
They should work as expected. I'd probably look elsewhere for a bug
that causes the character duplication.

As it is, any line longer than 159 characters will just overflow.
You need to use substr() not awk to shorten a line. Even after that
modification, that won't solve your actual problem as the awk script
will just shorten EACH line (when record separator is newline), not
the whole output.
There are ports which seems to do what you want to do.

I didn't find PF in the ports tree, so thats why i'm asking. Yes, PF is part of the base system in recent FreeBSD releases. To enable PF support, you can either load it as a module (kldload pf), or compile it into your custom kernel. The startup scripts of the system support loading the module, if necessary, so to use PF you can just enable it in `/etc/rc.conf', i.e. with something like: pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf pf_enable=YES pflog_enable=YES Then, all you have to do is tune your ruleset in `/etc/pf.conf', and off you go :) One tricky point that you should pay attention to is that when PF is used as a loadable kernel module you cannot use ALTQ for traffic shaping. To be able to use the ALTQ features, you have to build a custom kernel that includes both PF and ALTQ options.

ssh tunnel - remote access through nat
Hi, I've got a box that's nat'd out to the internet. It is occassionally neccessary for me to access this box remotely. The obvious answer is: ssh -R :localhost:22 remote.box cat run from the nat'd box where remote box is a place I pretty much always have access too from anywhere, anytime. The problem is that the connection between these two boxes is famously unreliable - so I need to ensure that this connection stays available. Unfortunately, the procedure for this is not obvious to me. I've thought about a cron job, as the connection would simply fail if it couldn't bind to on the remote box to listen. But I'm thinking there has to be something that makes more sense. Suggestions? Feedback?

FreeBSD 6 Hard Lock no logs
Hi, I have a web/mail server thats running the lastest version of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p9 #4. In the last month or so it's started hard locking.. when the machine locks up i can still ping it and get connects from telneting to 80,22,etc sometimes i get a banner and sometimes i dont.. but there are no errors on the console or in the logs. The odd thing is the locking seems to happen within a certain time window (mon,tues) and never end of the week or weekend.. i suspected it could have been a bad cron job but nothing falls into that time frame. As a test i've been rebooting the server everynight to see if that would help the machine get past the begining of the week with out a hang and again this morning even though i rebooted last night at 10pm hung around 9:47am.

As you might remember, one has to create a boolean array for that. The longer the array the more primes can be found. With malloc() I can create an array of length 1 (10^8) and the first 5761455 primes are calculated in a few seconds. So of course I would like to test length 10^9 but here my program crashes. If this is about integer values, which are probably 32-bit, you are hitting the kern.maxdsiz limit of 512 MB. An array of 100,000,000 32-bit values takes up 4 * 100,000,000 = 400,000,000 (close to 400 MiB of memory to store). Anything above 512 MB in size will make the data size of your program so big that it will overflow the data seg size: $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 ... You can either increase kern.maxdsiz in your `/boot/loader.conf' file, or redesign the algorithm to work with larger datasets by splitting them in chunks that you can still process with 512 MB of data :) *How* can I effectively split my array up? Not by using the original Sieve of Eratosthenes, that's for sure. By sacrifising some of the speed, you can probably use secondary storage though, to make sure that you keep at most 512 MB of data in physical memory. How can I access an element arr[n] if n is bigger than INT_MAX ? I have tried some kind of linear/linked list, but that becomes disgustingly slow. Actually, the limit of data offsets you can meaningfully access with a C program is not INT_MAX, which may be as low as +32767 (see page 22 of the ISO/IEC 9899:TC2 public draft of the C programming language[1]). [1] Draft n1124 from http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/ The largest size of object you can access with a conforming C program is SIZE_MAX (see page 259 of the same PDF document). The standard doesn't require `size_t' to be much larger than `int' though, so this may still be inadequate for processing huge datasets. You have multiple options, the way I see it: * Bump kern.maxdsiz to something higher (this can work for much larger datasets than 512 MB, but a little after 2 GB things start getting ugly again). * Work on an amd64 system with LOTS of physical memory and a high kern.maxdsiz value. * Try to find a variation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes that can work with smaller memory load (possibly sacrifising, as you guessed, some of the speed for space). One possible variation would be to keep copies of the data you have processed in secondary storage and load only the parts needed in physical memory. A simplistic implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes may result in heavy thrashing if you just swap in and out regions of the numeric range as they are being accessed though :( ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD 6 Hard Lock no logs
First look for the obvious problems like low disk or swap space. If these are OK, you might need to run a script that logs various things and sift through it. I would suggest writing a shell script that sleeps for say 30 to 60 seconds, then opens a log file and does ps -ax and some other echo to give separation and see what is running, then closes the file and sleeps again. Obviously you will only be interested in the last couple of entries in this file. -Derek At 01:19 PM 7/25/2006, Rob Connon (Info) wrote: Hi, I have a web/mail server thats running the lastest version of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p9 #4.

All you have to do is tell it in your kernel config: options batter angelfood and then cd /usr/src make WITH_FROSTING=orange cd /usr/ports/deco/candles make KIND=birthday COUNT=40 make light make sing In my opinion, FreeBSD should never change its model to arriving as a fully completed cake. The ability to choose (including the choice of plain old cake, no frosting, no decoration) is just priceless. At most, the installer might be improved to make it easier to make good choices. It most definitely should not start choosing for me, at least not beyond the minimal components required for a plain cake level. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

6.1 installation problem on a big disk
I am installing 6.1-RELEASE on i386 platform, using a fairly big IDE disk (Maxtor 6L250R0, 250 GB). All goes well when I create a slice and partition it (using defaults). I have 2 disks, ad0 and ad2, but I am using only ad0 for installation. When the installation begins, I see the following error message: Error mounting /mnt/dev/ad0s1f on /mnt/usr : Invalid argument and after that the installation give lots of disk writing errors. ad0s1f is the biggest partition (around 230 GB). It looks like the motherboard recognizes the disk correctly (it gives the right size in BIOS Setup). For the record, the motherboard is ASRock K7VT4A Pro, the disk is the IDE Primary Master. Can I do anything to fix this?

I've recently been experiencing lock ups with the three servers that I've upgraded to 6.x ... one of which is 1 year old, the other two are 3 years old ... after getting everything setup with DDB, to the point that I could provide some very detailed traces, and core dumps, it looks like the problem is the one thing common between all three servers: the iir driver ... the two older machines are running Intel 0CH RAID controllers, the newer one an ICP Vortex card ... both were rock solid machines under 4.x ... If you check ICP Vortex's web site, you will actually find *vendor supported* drivers (and CLIs) for both fbsd4 and fbsd5 but nadda for 6 or 7 ... so, from looking at that, it looks like they have bail'd on the newer FreeBSDs ... So, for me, it isn't a performance issue, its what looks to be a shrinking hardware vendor support ... Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email .
