Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
I have had this problem for a month now...have tried several things and still no luck...I really need some advice please!!! Here is the situation: 1 - freebsd 6.1-RELEASE-p6 running sshd in standard config. my server is server1.domain.com. hosts.allow has not been touched nor has just about anything else...this is a standard install. I have tried sshd_config - UseDNS yes and no to same effect, but otherwise its a default sshd_config. 2 - I _can_ connect to this server from a Windows XP machine with PuTTY (this client as all others I have tried are on separate networks from server1. 3 - I _cannot_ connect to server1 from OS X mac.domain.com or another freebsd 6.1 client server2.domain.com. These two clients are each on different networks but I get the same error: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer. 4 - My hosting provider has tried to help me debug this by connecting to server1 from several different clients on different networks...they have no problems from Linux and FreeBSD clients. 5 - Both OS X and other freebsd client (from item 3) have the same domain root as server1...i.e. domain.com If this is the heart of the problem I do not know what to do on server1 to tell it is ok to accept these connections...if its a security protection, seems like a useless one if sshd lets my unnamed DHCP assigned Windows XP client in. please help!!! ke han ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
portsdb -Uu
I am using portsnap fetch portsnap update to sync my ports tree on FreeBSd 6.1...it seems it maintains an index when I run update. I am used to using: portsversion and portsupdate to upgrade ports...in this method I have also used portsdb -Uu to rebuild an index anytime prior to running these commands...yes portsdb takes a while and I've always wondered if this is necessary prior to running any of these commands.. So my question is: Is the index being maintained by portsnap the same or a replacement to that used by portupgrade? Do I have to maintain both sets of indexes in order to use portsupdate?? What do other people do? thanks, ke han ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It rebuilds the ports INDEX. This is done by portsdb -U and takes a long time. 2. It rebuilds the ports INDEX.db database. This is done by portsdb -u, takes only a few seconds, and is done automatically when you run portupgrade if the database is out of date. So my question is: Is the index being maintained by portsnap the same or a replacement to that used by portupgrade? Do I have to maintain both sets of indexes in order to use portsupdate?? The ports INDEX file generated by portsdb -U is the same file as portsnap generates. Since the INDEX.db database is generated automatically, this means there is no need to run portsdb between running portsnap and running portupgrade. My standard ports update/upgrade procedure is: portsnap fetch portsnap update pkg_version -vIL= # this is equivalent to portversion -vL= portupgrade -a Colin Percival ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In addition to what Andreas said: The problem is not the router/gateway in front of the ftp. The problem is the internal address the ftp server has and the nat that the router has to do. FreeBSD knows nothing about the external address... I think you'll have better results getting a second IP address for your ftp server and just route packets.

Took me a while to connect kse(2) as it's not referred to as such in ldd output, but I kept digging. For sure xmms and moz are 2 that have gone mad 'quietly'. I assume then that libkse is what the three multi-thread programs I'm running (xmms, mozilla-bin and mysqld) are now using, where for each of them `ldd $program | grep thr` shows libpthread.so.1 = /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1 So can/should I set in (a new) /etc/libmap.conf generally: libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1 libpthread.so libthr.so or would it be better to just target these specific programs, eg: [/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin/] # assuming loaded with full path? libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1 libpthread.so libthr.so Are there any likely downsides to using libthr instead? Esp. mysqld? I've already found that stopping those three processes lifts shown idle to ~95%, but then I also note that ldd other things - including kdeinit ie all main KDE processes - refer to libpthread.so.1 too, but only the above 3 ever seem to appear in state 'kserel' (This is all new to me :) Cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Did you set a gateway in /etc/rc.conf? loopback: Yes I can ping it. 10.0.0.101: Yes again I can ping it. But I set this as the gateway. I just got two home PCs connected to each other over a 5-port switch with. 10.0.0.100 and 10.0.0.101 (this one). I set this as the gateway because a while later when I hook this to the web, this will be the box. And I might add a couple of more boxes to this network at best. Don't do that.

FreeBSD as a gaming server platform
Are there any kernel tunables that you would recommend setting to increase performance on FreeBSD 6.x for running gaming servers (e.g. Quake 4, CS:S, etc)? It appears that the default settings are not performing nearly as well on FreeBSD as they are on Linux on similar hardware, and it seems to be something network related. I did some searching for settings that could increase max packet rates and such, but to no avail.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one.

You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you.

You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[SOLUTION] Re: mount_ext2fs returning ENODEV on 6.1
The standard kernel doesn't have ext2fs support now; I doubt the 6.1 release was different. Try loading it as a module; kldload ext2fs. It seems not to be that easy :( # kldload ext2fs kldload: can't load ext2fs: No such file or directory Where is ext2fs.ko supposed to have come from? A search for ext2fs in the Handbook found nothing applicable, and I have already built and installed /usr/ports/sysutils/e2fsprogs. I checked the 6.1 install disks, and saw ext2fs.ko in boot/kernel, just like I'd expect. I've rebuilt with newer sources several times since then, but I'm surprised if it isn't there on your disk. According to find, the only *.ko anywhere in the system was gtkrc.ko, in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/work/etc/gtk and /usr/X11R6/share/themes/Default/gtk. I suspect this may be additional fallout from my earlier problem, wherein sysinstall had failed to install the kernel: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129613.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129659.html Evidently it also failed to install the ext2fs module.

/end_data_set_##/
but this does not work due to i cannot use variables in the address

nc in this example is set to the counter of the desired dataset.

You have to prefix the variable with $ and use double quotes instead
of single quotes.
The shell will expand a variable within double quotes, but one within
single quotes

devfs and hot unplugging
I was transferring a bunch of data files from compute nodes to a server using dump-restore. I put the disks with the data files into an external firewire device, plugged it in, and did the transfers. This is on 6.1-RELEASE-p6. When I finished the transfers, I just pulled the cable (the firewire disk partitions were not mounted). When I plugged in the next drive, devfs created devices with names like /dev/da0s1aa, /dev/da0s1ab, /dev/da0s1ac, etc., in addition to the regular /dev/da0s1a, etc (which were left over from the first disk, they were not destroyed when I pulled the cable). When I tried to fsck the firewire disk partitions, /dev/da0s1a and /dev/da0s1g worked fine (as did the dump/restore from /dev/da0s1g). The other partitions, /dev/da0s1d, e, and f, failed, saying the superblock could not be found. All the data disks were of the same kind and had identical partitioning schemes. My question: Should I be doing something to signal devfs I'm going to unplug a device so it won't get confused when I plug in another similar, but not the same, device? What's going on here?

Re: Device Drivers and Kernel Modules
Lowell, Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the belated gratitude. I haven't checked the account in a while and simply forgot I posted the question. I think I got confused in my memory. Now what I think I read was about filesystem kernel modules. From my understanding these could be automatically loaded through the mount command. At least, thats the author's claim in FreeBSD Unleashed. Just to be more specific this inquiry is NOT for a server. It is my experimental desktop at home. Servers I would agree have no need to be convenient in swapping hardware. But I do switch out hardware on the system in question occasionally and was really just curious if there is a drawback between the drivers in the kernel opposed to loaded kernel modules. Thanks again David Wassman On 9/5/06, Lowell Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David Wassman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am trying to figure out which would be best, to load all the device drivers through compiling them into the kernel or to load them at boot through loader.conf. I would think that loader.conf would be more convenient as changing hardware wuld not require a rebuild of the kernel. Is there a draw back to loading devices this way other than a longer boot up time (which should not be an issue as the system is 24-7)? There is little difference for your purposes. I have also heard that loading modules through the loader.conf saves on RAM performance as the module in question is not loaded into memory until it is used as opposed to being loaded with the kernel. If this makes no sense, i appologize. I remember reading it somewhere on a mailing list several years ago and can't find the reference anymore. From memory it stated modules such as cd9660 could be loaded through entering CD9660_load=YES in loader.confand that it would not be used in memory until a cd was mounted. I am assuming this is true (if it is) for other modules as well. It isn't true at all.
