Question:socket sources
Dear FreeBSD team, I decided to contact you because I cannot find some system call C modules for a very long time. I'd like to ask you where can I find sources containing code for socket related system calls like socket, accept, bind, connect with interfaces described on FreeBSD MAN pages (system calls). For example: int socket(int domain, int type, int protocol); int bind(int s, const struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t addrlen); Browsing through your WWW CVS repository I'm just finding sources for MAN pages in directory / src / lib / libc / sys: access.2, connect.2 and so on. But where are the C sources of these calls? Or are the sources of these system calls not available? Thanks for your answer.

Re: backup existing sata drive
Thanks for your answer. I can mount all the partitions (ubuntu via the mount_ext2fs command). So, I could use DD, but then I would have to do this every time I want to be synchronized.

Hello, Am I the only person having trouble with Berkeley DB version 4.4.20? I've been using 4.2 for quite a while. Then I upgraded, a few days back. But a Perl process that actually uses it (BerkeleyDB-0.30) has become unstable. I've been ktracing it, and setting log-points myself, but it keeps core dumping at places where it accesses BerkeleyDB. Sporadically, but often enough. Naturally I compiled BerkeleyDB-0.30 against the correct libraries (in config.in). And it seems more or less ok, but not always. Finally, this morning, I just did a full restore from an earlier date; db44 is not working out for me, obviously. I'm not sure whether it's Berkeley DB version 4.4.20 or BerkeleyDB-0.30, or a combination of the two; but I wonder if someone else has had trou- ble with it, too?

My last update was sept 2nd, and this stopped working for me only about a week ago, maybe two, so it didn't coincide with that update. Now that I've got a little more mental capacity to work with, anyone got something to point me in the right direction?

Problems properly setting up /etc/exports
I've got a FBSD 6 machine built from a 6.2 PRERELEASE set of sources that I need to use as an NFS server for some other similar machines.

However, I really need to be able to allow 2 whole 1/2 class C's to mount these directories.

Re: Trouble with new poweredge 2950 - solved
When I disabled hyperthreading (labelled logical processors in BIOS), the system started booting. Strange that HT would cause the system to hang at boot. The correct number of processors shows and the amount of CPU time being used is properly represented. Jerry I just got a PE 2950 and I'm having some problems. I installed 6.2PRE and it went well. The first thing I noticed is that immediate as BSD start to load, a bold/highlighted message says 768xxx bytes above 4G ignore or something like that (don't recall what xxx was. Next thing I noticed whilest trying a buildworld against the latest stable sources. My system detects 8 cpus. It actually only has 4 - 2 dual core xeons. I'm guessing that the others are from hyperthreading, but I'm not certain. Hyperthreading is disabled by default, I believe. So, in the process of make buildworld -j 32, I noticed that only even numbered CPUs are being used (0,2,4,6). Is that because BSD is ignoring the HT CPUs, which would be 1,3,5,7? top and iostat both show that I was never able to exceed 50% overall CPU usage. Is that because even though I have the HT representations disabled, the OS is using their availabilty in calculating % idle time? Is there any way to get an accurate number? The PE doesn't let me disable HT, I don't believe. Finally, after the upgrade, I'm having a problem with the system hanging on startup right after the firewall message, and sometimes right after the CD ROM detection message. I believe that the SAS controller is supposed to be detected next, and I'm assuming that's the problem. When I first tried to install, I used 6.1, and it completely didn't recognize my SAS controller. I found a message in the archives that suggested trying the latest stable source, so I tried 6.2 and it worked. Any ideas what could be causing the problem? When I was using the 6.2PRE ISO, I had to restart a few times before it got past that stage also.

Restoring FreeBSD grub loader
Hello, I installed FreeBSD 6.1 on one machine with grub boot loader. In the beginning there was only one entry in grub - namely FreeBSD. Later, I had to install Windows XP on the machine and of course, it destroyed grub and now I cannot boot FreeBSD. I tried with booting from the FreeBSD installation disk choosing Fixit option, but I could not use successfully grub-install command. My question is: how can I restore the FreeBSD grub loader? Could you please give me any hints or advance. Thank you very much in advance.

RE: Trouble with Berkeley DB version 4.4.20?
-Original Message- From: Alex Zbyslaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: zaterdag 30 september 2006 20:14 To: Mark Cc: 'FreeBSD-Questions Questions' Subject: Re: Trouble with Berkeley DB version 4.4.20? I have done this upgrade path for BerkeleyDB and Perl several times; from 1.85 - 4.1 - 4.2, and now - 4.4.20. It has always worked well. Even now it compiles just fine. It just isn't stable anymore. If someone out there has an idea, I'd really like to know. I don't have any good answers for you, sorry. Probably no-one is answer- ing because no-one active is doing anything with these particular pack- age versions. But, there is a port of BerkeleyDB (databases/p5-BerkeleyDB) which would save you from having to mess around configuring config.in yourself. Just set something like WITH_BDB_VER=44 (or 42 or...) in pkgtools.conf (for portupgrade) or make.conf or on the command line. The port doesn't seem to do any local patches so I wouldn't expect it to work any better for you, unless you have been doing something wrong. Thanks for answering. Really appreciate it. I actually already tried p5-BerkeleyDB too. Had high hopes for it. It took a good 10 minutes or so to compile a new gcc, 3.2.23, first; but after that, everything went well. Except that it shows the same behavior. Compile goes fine; make tests too. But my app core dumps every, say, 30 times it accesses BerkeleyDB. I use 4.2 with p5-BerkeleyDB and no problems for me, but I do nothing complicated - really just pretend it's 1.85 without bugs! My BerkeleyDB 4.2 with Perl is rock-stable, too. Never a glitch of any kind. If you don't need the functionality of 4.4 then downgrade back to 4.2 and keep an eye on the 4.4 and p5-BerkeleyDB ports, and try again in a few months. I think I'll do that. I believe BerkeleyDB 4.5 has just been released already. I'll wait for it to appear in the ports. I do not actually need the functionality of 4.4. Like you, I just use 4.2 as 1.85 without the bugs. :) Upgrading just seemed like the thing to do. If you look at the Sleepycat bug-list, it seems they fixed a whole lot of them since 4.2; but I cannot say I ever really ran into one. So, I'll wait for 4.5. Not much I can do. Should have been a pretty straightforward upgrade; but it isn't. And analyzing a Perl core dump without symbolic information is pretty useless too. Besides, from my own debug markers I set, it does not core dump in the same place each time. So, it's just that: unstable.

networking question
Hello All, Well, I have FBSD 6.1-R server acting as NAT, and wired Internet HotSpot by chillispot and freerad for a building of 66 rj45 wall socket. The problem is, whenever someone having an internet account, he is able to give it to his friends to connect in the time he is not connected.. because one user at a time. but this account ment to be for a certain socket..its a personal account for 1 room. is there any way that i can controll the internet in this sockets? like to block all the sockets and unblock whatever i want.. so I will make sure this account will not run from any other socket outside the person room. those sockets are connected to each others throu 4 belkin switches hub. Well technically I knew I can Controll it by the MAC adres which chillispot already has this feature.. but i dunt want to use Mac Adrs Anyone has anyway to controll the sockets over the switches? impossible?

Question on when to submit PRs (a reboot hang)
I have what seems to be a mostly stable 6.2 PRERELEASE that I couldn't take backward to RELENG_6_1 for reasons I couldn't figure out. Unimportant because it's being loaded with data and going to test production right now. The mostly part is that in cvsupping I picked up a nasty reboot problem where reboot would stop at Uptime and hang about 75% of the time. If the system runs like I've come to expect FreeBSD to run over the years, I don't really care plus I'm installing a remote Power Tower to overcome such issues next week. On 6.2 PR, it ran through about 50 reboots without a problem until I stupidly updated once more. Yesterday I updated yet another time and the frequency of the problem dropped to the point where it didn't do it but 1 in 10 intentional reboots. But since I am still seeing it. I'm wondering if it's worthwhile putting in a problem report? I dislike troubling people if I am the only one who's going to experience a problem, especially one which I will soon be able to manage it by cycling grouped power inputs (if it even happens again now, since I won't be rebooting a production system). It's AMD64 on an s4882 Tyan. The question is probably best stated as what is whining and what is helping? For all I know it's a timing problem with bios version I'm running. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Good networking books for a beginner?
Does anyone happen to know of any good books that explain all about networking in detail (such as gateways, netmasks, etc)? I know the 'basics' but would like to dig in a little deeper.

Beech Internet Core Protocols : The Definitive Guide is pretty good too for a more quantifiable analysis of networks than the Computer Networks : A Systems Approach book is in some ways.
