Once CPU idle at all times
I know this was asked once before. I can't recall if it had received a response or not. If so, tell me to go digging. Otherwise, I have a server that is a dual Zeon 2.8 and I have the hyperthreading enabled within the bios. When I use top, it shows one of the CPU's as apparently not being used.

Performance issue amd64
Hello out there. I ran into some weirdness by changing harddrives in FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE/AMD64 and I do not know exactly whether the problem ist up to the drives, ar0 (RAID 0) or FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE itselfs. My home's computer system is a FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE/AMD64 box, clean 64 Bit without 32 Bit compat enabled. Hardware is a ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe mainboard, memory 2GB DDR400-ECC Infineon RAM, CPU Athlon64 3500+ with the older 'Newcastle' cor, so single core and only 512 KB L2 cache. Harddrives are two Hitachi T7K250 (HDT722525DLA380), configured as a RAID 0 via the nVidia nForce4 chipset RAID facility with Stripesize of 64k, as recommended. My lab's computer is an older Intel P4 based machine, mobo ASUS P4P800 with 2GB DDR400 memory, Intel P4 3.0 GHz CPU (see dmesg attached), two 120 GB PATA/UDMA100 drives connected to the same controller as master and slave: ad0: 114473MB WDC WD1200BB-00CAA1 17.07W17 at ata0-master UDMA100 ad1: 114473MB WDC WD1200BB-00CAA1 17.07W17 at ata0-slave UDMA100 Well, On both boxes I use nearly the same applications and they are both nearly identically setup apart from hardware related issues. They have the same OS basis, recompile FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE at least three times a week for testing purposes - and that's why I got puzzled about the performance. Before I swapped the harddrives of my AMD64 box, this box was equpted with a SAMSUNG SP2004C 200GB SATA II HD and a Maxtor 6B200M0 200GB SATA I HD, configured as RAID 0 on the same controller. This amd64 box took about 80 - 90 minutes compiling complete world and was responsitive when opening Firefox, Thunderbird or doing other things, this changed now dramatically. Compiling world takes now more than a 100 minutes, Firefox and/or Thunderbird opens much slower than before and much slower as compared to the i386 box(!). my whole impression of comparing both boxes is that the i386 box as described above eith the technically more worse HD configuration and the older hardware seems to outperform the AMD64 box, especially with a RAID 0. Ok guys, I know just by simple describing the 'felt' speed of a box doesn't make any sense, but I can not provide performance tests at this moment, both boxes are in use. But I can asure you, that working in the morning with the one (i386) box and at the evening with the other (amd64) gives me a little bit of sensibility beeing aware of those performance issue. I suspect the Hitachi drives for that performance drop, although I switched them into SATA II mode and disabled accoustic mode and other funny desktop stuff. Are there any known issues with nForce4 chipsets and T7K20 Hitachi drives? I will provide some tests, if I can do them without endangering my systems's stability and I would appreciate any hints or tips for that issue.

You can make _two_ hashes and then concatenate to form unique key.

2 minutes * 10 = 20 minutes to iterate though 4 billion IP addresses
on a very slow uni-proc system. I could even store every IP to md5
hash using less then 222GB of uncompressed space.
If you want... give me the md5 hash of a real ip address that is
unknown to me and I will hand you the ip address in two days... or
less. run the IP address though like this:
md5 -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I have other things to do with my time, so I don't really want to do
this, but if that's what it takes to stop this idea dead I'll do it.
Here's a better way to explain the problem:
Let's say we need to find Marc's IP address but we only have it's md5
hash value. Some of you may think this is hard to do but it's not. All
we need to do is compute every IP address into a hash and then match
Marc's hash to one in are list:
24.224.179.164 = e7e7a967c5f88d9fb10a1f22cd2133d2
24.224.179.165 = 3aa9b50aa7190f5aca1f78f075dc69c2
24.224.179.166 = c695175e48d649e3496ac715406a488d
24.224.179.167 = 45c80b9266a5a6683eee9c9798bd6575
So what is an IP address?... mathematically speaking it's 4 base 255
numbers grouped together:
{0, ..., 255}.{0, ..., 255}.{0, ..., 255}.{0, ..., 255}
To calculate how many combinations there could be you simply take the
base unit and raise it to the 4th power, since there are 4 of them.
This gives us 255^4 combinations or 4,228,250,625 TCP/IP addresses. We
also know that the first number can't be 0 or 255 and the others can't
be 255, we can also rule out all 127.x.y.z loopback and multicast
224.x.y.z - 239.x.y.z addresses:
(237^1) * (254^3)
This leaves us with 3,883,734,168 valid IP addresses. We can divide
this number by 5,000 and run it through a simple perl script to get a
time estimate on how long it will take to compute all these hashs. We
will split it into 4 parallel jobs:
my $number = 0;
while ($number = 194187) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist1;
$number++;
}
my $number = 194188;
while ($number = 388373) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist2;
$number++;
}
my $number = 388374;
while ($number = 582560) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist3;
$number++;
}
my $number = 582561;
while ($number = 776747) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist4;

Can you use smbclient to connect to the printserver machine via Samba using the credentials you gave in the apsfilter setup? Does it show that you have access to the shared printer there? Double check the contents of /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/SETUP.cfg and the apsfilterrc files in that directory and it's sub-directories.

The problem is not there. The is just not connection with the print server, and that is what I cannot understand. I had the same problem with an install of 5.4. One day that message started being printed in the log and I could no longer print. I was forced to do a total reinstall of the OS. I really believe that the '/dev/null' thing is the key to this, but I do not have a clue how to go about fixing it. I have a bad feeling that I am going to have to do a total reinstall of the OS. With KDE, OpenOffice etc., that will take awhile. Unless you have a better idea Matthew, I will probably go that route this weekend. I do not need another over sized paper weight. Woah! Reinstalling the whole OS to fix a printer problem is way overkill. The /dev/null entry in /etc/printcap is just a place-holder. Normally that entry would contain the device used to communicate to a locally attached printer. However, because you're using samba, you've faked the system into thinking you've got a local printer, while using a print filter to divert the data via samba into the remote Windows printer. It's a bit of a hack really. However what it does mean is that no data should actually end up being passed to /dev/null. As the print system is complaining about not being able to get an exclusive lock on that file, perhaps it would be worth trying substituting some regular file that it could get a lock on. Try this. # touch /var/log/lpd.out # chmod 644 /var/log/lpd.out # chown root:daemon /var/log/lpd.out Then edit /etc/printcap and substitute /var/log/lpd.out for /dev/null and restart lpd. lpd.out should just stay an empty file, but it might end up with a copy of anything you send to the printer in it, in which case siccing newsyslog(1) onto the file to keep it a manageable size would be a good idea. If this works, then reporting what happened to the port maintainer and author of apsfilter would be indicated -- seems the behaviour of /dev/null has changed in recent releases sufficient to put a spanner in apsfilter's works.

You can make _two_ hashes and then concatenate to form unique key.
Then you still be able to see a lot of single IPs. Personaly, I dont
care very much about IP/hostname disclosure :-)
Except that you are disclosing that each and every time you send out an
email, or hit a web site ... :)
The systems I'm concerned about are on private IP space, to not send email
and don't have X installed, much less a web browser and can only access
certain FreeBSD sites to update ports. In fact, they're not even
accessible
from *inside* our network except from certain hosts. In order to
successfully run the stats script on these hosts, I would have to open a
hole
in the firewall to bsdstats.hub.org on the correct port.
And yes, I *am* paranoid. But if you really want *all* statistics you can
get, then you'll have to deal with us paranoid types. My workstation,
which
is on a public IP, is already registered.
Done ... now I really hope that the US stats rise, maybe? I have a hard
time believing that Russia and the Ukraine have more deployments then the
'good ol'US of A' ... or do they? *raised eyebrow*
Here is what is now stored in the database (using my IP as a basis)

Why don't you just broadcast the ip address, it's what your doing now
anyways. 253^4 is a very small number.

2 minutes * 10 = 20 minutes to iterate though 4 billion IP addresses
on a very slow uni-proc system. I could even store every IP to md5
hash using less then 222GB of uncompressed space.
If you want... give me the md5 hash of a real ip address that is
unknown to me and I will hand you the ip address in two days... or
less. run the IP address though like this:
md5 -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I have other things to do with my time, so I don't really want to do
this, but if that's what it takes to stop this idea dead I'll do it.
Here's a better way to explain the problem:
Let's say we need to find Marc's IP address but we only have it's md5
hash value. Some of you may think this is hard to do but it's not. All
we need to do is compute every IP address into a hash and then match
Marc's hash to one in are list:
24.224.179.164 = e7e7a967c5f88d9fb10a1f22cd2133d2
24.224.179.165 = 3aa9b50aa7190f5aca1f78f075dc69c2
24.224.179.166 = c695175e48d649e3496ac715406a488d
24.224.179.167 = 45c80b9266a5a6683eee9c9798bd6575
So what is an IP address?... mathematically speaking it's 4 base 255
numbers grouped together:
{0, ..., 255}.{0, ..., 255}.{0, ..., 255}.{0, ..., 255}
To calculate how many combinations there could be you simply take the
base unit and raise it to the 4th power, since there are 4 of them.
This gives us 255^4 combinations or 4,228,250,625 TCP/IP addresses. We
also know that the first number can't be 0 or 255 and the others can't
be 255, we can also rule out all 127.x.y.z loopback and multicast
224.x.y.z - 239.x.y.z addresses:
(237^1) * (254^3)
This leaves us with 3,883,734,168 valid IP addresses. We can divide
this number by 5,000 and run it through a simple perl script to get a
time estimate on how long it will take to compute all these hashs. We
will split it into 4 parallel jobs:
my $number = 0;
while ($number = 194187) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist1;
$number++;
}
my $number = 194188;
while ($number = 388373) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist2;
$number++;
}
my $number = 388374;
while ($number = 582560) {
system md5 -s $number /usr/data/hashlist3;
$number++;
}

http://messias.selfip.org/download/disklessboot.jpg
Questions:
1. mount_nfs is complaining. It cannot update mounttab. However, the
mounttab is in /var/db and /var is not mounted yet. Is there a nice way
to supress these annoying messages?
2. syslogd tells that it cannot open the pid file. (Operation not
supported) However, it creates /var/log/syslogd.pid. But that file is
empty. What can be the problem?
Last (silly) question: when I boot the diskless system, it checks the
login name but it does not ask for a password. I can login with any
user, without providing a password. I guess this is because I replaced
the standard /etc/rc script. Is there a simple command that I can use to
switch to multiuser mode and have the system do the authentication?
Thanks,
Laszlo

Re: Almost ready with diskless setup
Nagy László wrote: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2004/09/30/diskless_clients.html This is quite old, things have changed. 1. mount_nfs is complaining. It cannot update mounttab. However, the mounttab is in /var/db and /var is not mounted yet. Is there a nice way to supress these annoying messages? This is a chicken-egg problem - you try to mount a filesystem /var, but nfsclient wants to record the mount in /var/db/mounttab first, and this is not writeable - and shouldn't be as other clients would use the same file. The path to mounttab is hardcoded in the mounttab.h file. The easy solution seems to be to let FreeBSD boot without your custom rc script and use the ones provided in the standard distribution. Then the client will figure out it is diskless and do what is appropriate: The client will create memory file systems for /var and /tmp if these are not writeable. Once you have the writable /var you can mount other nfs partitions easily. As far as I understand this is silly: The point of mounttab is to notify the server on a reboot after a crash. But if the information is stored on a memory file system then it is lost on a crash. There seems to be no way to disable the mounttab. You might really want to share /var among your diskless clients - then you only have one locate database to maintain, by default stored in /var/db. The only thing that cannot be shared AFAIK is /var/run and /var/tmp. You can link these to /tmp. /tmp need not be very big - 1 MB should do - so it may be ok to have that as an memory file system. Then all that remains is to hack mounttab.h to store the mounttab file on /tmp. 2. syslogd tells that it cannot open the pid file. (Operation not supported) However, it creates /var/log/syslogd.pid. But that file is empty. What can be the problem? Are you sure it is created? Check on the server. Anyway, the problem will likely be solved once you get 1) solved. -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org X.509 Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/8D03551FFCE04F0C.crt Key ID: 69:79:B8:2C:E3:8F:E7:BE:5D:C3:C3:B1:74:62:B8:3F:9F:1F:69:B9 smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I have used that driver few times for accessing FreeBSD partitions. Works great. At least I haven't encountered any real problems with it. The usage of the management tool was a bit tricky at first, but once you get to know the numbering scheme, there should be no problems. The driver creates a drive letter under the Windows system and all files are accessible via normal File Explorer functions.

Re: Firefox amd mailto:

Since it does not include Email, I also installed Thunderbird which works as its own standalone. But, when I am looking at a web page that has a 'mailto:' in a tag and I click on the link to send a message to whoever, nothing happens - presumably because there is no mail handler in Firefox. So, how, in FreeBSD 6.xxx do I deal with this? Can I make it call up something like a plugin or whatever to handle that mailto: Email item.I haven't found anything that looks like a configuration item for such as that. Thanks for any help you can give, jerry use about:config in Firefox and set network.protocol-handler.app.mailto to /usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird Wow, thank you very much. It was interesting to learn about about:config I fished around on the Mozilla site for quite a while and didn't really find anything of value and a post to a forum just got me a link to some MS-Win setup and some Gnome and KDE configuration notes. At first, there was no preference in about:config on my Firefox called: 'network.protocol-handler.app.mailto' but almost by accident while poking around, I learned I could bring up a box to add one by right clicking and then clicking on 'New', so now I have it. I also had to turn on: 'network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto' which is a boolean and just flips on a double-click. But, now it works. So, thanks, jerry There are similar settings to get thunderbird to open http links in firefox.

Searching Ports - possible problem
Fellow FreeBSD Enthusiasts, While researching a couple of Searching For Ports tips to send to a fellow new FreeBSD user I noticed an anomaly. The port in question was mod_php5. One would expect searching for mod_php via the search form on the ports web page or make search name='mod_php' in /usr/ports to list mod_php4 and mod_php5. Neither show up. Where do the name and keywords for ports come from?

Re: Finding IP Addresses (OT)
Beno, I'm configuring my IP filter and I need to figure out what IP addresses I use (via SSH2) to contact my server. I'd advise you not to filter SSH by IP, that would be the best way to lock you out of your server. Even if you find all the IP used by your ISP, you cannot predict when the IP range will change, and it DOES change. If you limit the IP that can SSH to your server, you will not be able to login when you are traveling and some urgent administration task need to be performed. And the most urgent tasks must often be performed when traveling... Set a strong password to your account (8+ characters, using letters up and lower case, numbers and punctuation signs), do not allow SSH to root account, enforce using sudo instead of su.

USB Media Keys
Is it possible to get USB media keys to work in FreeBSD 6.x? I can't get anything to even see the keys, I would like to get my volume keys working on a Saitek Eclipse keyboard. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
