Re: console vesa mode switch needed earlier in boot phase
In the last episode (Jan 18), Gobbledegeek said: Currently the allscreens flags from /etc/rc.conf is set at the very last during bootup - much after most kernel boot messages are logged to screen. Is there a way to make the switch to 1024x768 console much earlier in the boot process? You should be able to fiddle with the REQUIRE: line in /etc/rc.d/syscons to get it to start earlier. Removing the LOGIN requirement and just leaving usbd should make it start quite a bit earlier in the boot sequence. If you don't have a USB keyboard, you could make it REQUIRE: mountcritlocal, which would be as early as you can get, since that's what usually mounts /usr. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Load balancing outgoing mail relay
Hi
I have a simple question but googling does not lead to a valid/usable
answer.
I need to load balance OUTGOING emails. I have serveral smart hosts. I
need
my internal SMTP server to send mail using ALL of the smart hosts
together,
making some kind of load balancing (no need for wheighted one).
Someone pointed out to use a name for the smart host, and have DNS to
resolve that name to the IP of all the relays (multiple A records) but
this
turned out in doing failover, not load balancing.
Anyone has a *working* idea for solving this apparently simple
problem?
Thanks
PF will definitely do what you want via its round-robin and redirect
features. You would redirect all inbound traffic on port 25 to your
smart host group/table which would then load balance across all of your
servers. In pf.conf, something like the following, with the
understanding that there are other things you may need to do first
before a pf config will work:
$int_if=em1 # replace with the interface name from your machine
$ext_if=em0 # replace with the interface name from your machine
$smart_host_01=192.168.1.1
$smart_host_02=192.168.1.2
$smart_host_03=192.168.1.3
$mail_server_01=10.1.1.1
table smtp_roundrobin persist { \
$smart_host_01, \
$smart_host_02, \
$smart_host_03 \
}
rdr on $int_if proto tcp from $mail_server_01 to any port 25 -
smtp_roundrobin round-robin
The configuration can become more granular (complex) by including NAT
and ALTQ if you want to do rate-shaping.

Mike

machine can run without a sendmail listener. This however, is an unusual and
not-recommended practice. It is merely listed here to elaborate on the
differences between MTA's and MSP's.
The submit.mc and submit.cf in this case would be:
FEATURE(`msp',`centralmailserver')
D{MTAHost}centralmailserver
Obviously, it says that it's unusual and not-recommend, but didn't say
exactly the reason.. (maybe you can tell me why, because I have knowledge in
the configuration of sendmail, can configure it to avoid be used as relay,
use of rbl lists, etc, but I'm not exactly an expert).
Well, after reading this... went to one of the new servers.. and read
/etc/mail/README
1. Designate an alternative host for the submission agent to contact
by altering /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc (or setting SENDMAIL_SUBMIT_MC
in /etc/make.conf to an alternate .mc file) and using
'make install-submit-cf' in /etc/mail/. Change the FEATURE(msp) line
to FEATURE(msp, hostname) where hostname is the fully qualified
hostname
of the alternative host.
So, I modified the respective lines...
%cat /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc
.
.
.
#
# This is the FreeBSD configuration for a set-group-ID sm-msp sendmail
# that acts as a initial mail submission program.
#
#

dnl If you use IPv6 only, change [ 127.0.0.1] to [IPv6:::1]
FEATURE(`msp', `[ my.main.server]')dnl
%make install-submit-cf
And now, I'm able to receive the e-mail of our monitoring scripts in our
main e-mailserver.
I compared the file of the old servers, but this method wasn't used, so..
can't tell you yet.. how the old server were modified to be able to send
mails without using sendmail as daemon.
Here is the result of the tests:

Is the new Qlogic QLA 2462 fibre channel card supported?
Hello I am curious if the new Qlogic QLA2462 fibre channel card is supported yet. I do not see it listed in the hardware support page, but since it's so new I was curious if it may just not have made it in yet. If it is not, what would it take to get a driver for this? I could likely get a card donated for driver development. Thanks Nicole Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Yahoo!

ATAPI CDROM Problem
Hi, I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 on my new machine and have a problem. I boot using 6.2-disc1, but when I try to choose CD/DVD as installation media, the installer says: No CD/DVD drives found. I tried the solution in question 3.13 of FreeBSD FAQ, but it didn't work. I tried setting the CD drive's jumper to Master, Slave, and Cable Select. None of them worked. I also tried installing FreeBSD 6.1 and Ubuntu Linux with no success. Knoppix also can't boot saying that it can't find the filesystem. However, I can assure that the drive is working, since I can boot CDs using this drive and Windows is very happy with it. By the way, it is an LG GSA-H22N. I looked at the boot messages by using Scroll Lock, and I can't see any messages indicating that FreeBSD detected my CD drive. It detects my SATA HDD though. And the strange thing I noticed is that, it finds 3 controllers, atapci0 (ATA), atapci1 (SATA), and atapci2 (SATA). But the ata devices start from 2: ata2, ata3, ata4, ata5, ata6, and ata7. There are no ata0 and ata1. Are there any suggestions? Thanks, Serdar Yahoo!

mpt status report
I just ran across this URL: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-oct-2006-dec-2006.html#MPT-LSI-Logic-Host-Adapters:-mpt and am wondering why you guys don't just port the mpi driver from OpenBSD. There is nothing in the mpt driver that doesn't work in mpi. We have mpi working on all platforms that have PCI slots and it is quite a bit faster than the ported mpt ever was.

Subject: Re: Execute script every time a specified user logs in (FreeB SD 6.1)
A simple technique is to have /etc/profile check for user X and for him source another file (containing the commands which X can't modify). Have root own this file and allow all others to only read and execute it. sudo is unnecessary.

Directory heirachy (from the release's directory), needs to be maintained though. So the base directory would be similar to what's seen in ftp:// ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386, where you'd have to create a directory name that matches the release, then download all the items to your subdirectory on the NFS share under the release directory that you want to install (i.e. 6.2-RELEASE/base, etc). Many people would just download their files from the FTP site and copy it to their NFS share as I described above. That's what the handbook means AFAIK. (B) Mount each ISO in a loopback then export the two loopbacked ISO's under each other in an exported parent directory?

I need my internal SMTP server to send mail using ALL of the smart hosts together, making some kind of load balancing (no need for wheighted one). Someone pointed out to use a name for the smart host, and have DNS to resolve that name to the IP of all the relays (multiple A records) but this turned out in doing failover, not load balancing.

Hi I have a simple question but googling does not lead to a valid/usable answer. I need to load balance OUTGOING emails. I have serveral smart hosts. I need my internal SMTP server to send mail using ALL of the smart hosts together, making some kind of load balancing (no need for wheighted one). Someone pointed out to use a name for the smart host, and have DNS to resolve that name to the IP of all the relays (multiple A records) but this turned out in doing failover, not load balancing. Anyone has a *working* idea for solving this apparently simple problem?

Re: Load balancing outgoing mail relay
FreeBSD 6.2 with Sendmail (initially) and now postfix. MS DNS with round robin (and TTL set to 0 on the records). Resolving with nslookup gives something like: smarthost.domain.tld 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3 If I kill 192.168.0.1 then it goes on the second one. But this is failover, and I need (approximately) load balancing. Postfix will always internally shuffle equal-weight MX records (or multiple A records if there is no MX). I think sendmail does this also. This will not give strict round-robin use of the smarthosts, but over thousands of messages will give an equal share to each host. It sounds as if the host has primary/secondary MX records and you haven't disabled MX lookups for the relayhost. Use in main.cf relayhost = [smarthost.domain.tld] As documented, the brackets are required to disable MX lookups. You may want to adjust initial_destination_concurrency_limit and default_destination_concurrency_limit if your smarthosts will allow more than the default 20 connections. If sending small amounts of mail, postfix connection caching may interfere with observed load sharing. You may want to turn off smtp_connection_cache_on_demand if sending small amounts of mail, but leave it on if sending thousands of messages at a time. -- Noel Jones ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Directory heirachy (from the release's directory), needs to be maintained though. So the base directory would be similar to what's seen in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386, where you'd have to create a directory name that matches the release, then download all the items to your subdirectory on the NFS share under the release directory that you want to install (i.e. 6.2-RELEASE/base, etc). Many people would just download their files from the FTP site and copy it to their NFS share as I described above. That's what the handbook means AFAIK. Thanks Garrett, Now, just to confirm one thing... On my NFS server I now have an exported directory called: /mnt/6.2-RELEASE Inside of that directory I have the full contents (not an iso image) of the first install disk of FreeBSD-6.2, so far so good? Now, for the remaining data on disk-2, which has a duplicate file like disk-1 has called: cdrom.inf and a duplicate directory like disk-1 called: packages I figured I can rsync the second CD's contents of /packages into the main tree but what about the conflicting two files both named cdrom.inf ? Will the installer be intuitive enough to not prompt for second CD when looking for files that would normally reside there? The reason I say that is that if one chooses to install, let's say, mtools or the linux software out of emulators on the main menu you put in the 2nd disk, it intuitively tells you that the packages are not on disk-2, but disk-1. So I'm thinking there is some residual metadata that not only has the package name but the CD disk location appended to in. Similar to the disk shuffling one had to to before when ejecting and injecting multiple CD's for previous installs on lets say 6.0 or 6.1 Thanks again Garrett (B) Mount each ISO in a loopback then export the two loopbacked ISO's under each other in an exported parent directory?

Many people would just download their files from the FTP site and copy it to their NFS share as I described above. That's what the handbook means AFAIK. Thanks Garrett, Now, just to confirm one thing... On my NFS server I now have an exported directory called: /mnt/6.2-RELEASE Inside of that directory I have the full contents (not an iso image) of the first install disk of FreeBSD-6.2, so far so good? Now, for the remaining data on disk-2, which has a duplicate file like disk-1 has called: cdrom.inf and a duplicate directory like disk-1 called: packages I figured I can rsync the second CD's contents of /packages into the main tree but what about the conflicting two files both named cdrom.inf ? Will the installer be intuitive enough to not prompt for second CD when looking for files that would normally reside there? The reason I say that is that if one chooses to install, let's say, mtools or the linux software out of emulators on the main menu you put in the 2nd disk, it intuitively tells you that the packages are not on disk-2, but disk-1. So I'm thinking there is some residual metadata that not only has the package name but the CD disk location appended to in. Similar to the disk shuffling one had to to before when ejecting and injecting multiple CD's for previous installs on lets say 6.0 or 6.1 Thanks again Garrett (B) Mount each ISO in a loopback then export the two loopbacked ISO's under each other in an exported parent directory? TIA Not possible with the basic FreeBSD installer disk, but maybe it's possible with the FreeBSIE LiveCD, or a custom CD if you build in the relevant stuff for a rescue shell; you'd still need to get at the iso somehow though, and you'd have to make sure that ramdisk (that's the Linux name, but I forgot the FreeBSD name right now?) support in order to mount an ISO image compiled into your kernel. snip -Garrett -- Bill Schoolcraft * http://wiliweld.com ~ Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie) Well, that's part of the reason why I suggested copying stuff over to NFS from the FTP site, because the FTP site has all of the data that you need and none of the data that you don't need when setting up an NFS install. So, basically just refer to the FTP, check which files you need to install (base, etc), then later you can run sysinstall when you boot for the first time into multiuser mode (choose Post Installation Configuration, or whatever it's titled) to install the packages you like. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xorg/Gnome/KDE freeze on latest release
Hello All I've been seeing system freezes on freebsd 6.2 Release and also the older RC2. Absolutely No errors reported in logs. Suddenly the mouse cursor movement is reduced to a crawl, and the keyboard freezes. Mouse-clicks do not launch any applications or switch tasks. I cannot switch back to vty1/2/3... or any console and had to resort to cold-starting a dozen times to recover from the hangs in the last few days, dirtying my filesystem in the process each time.. sometimes had to reinstall corrupted kde/xorg packages I'm writing this mail from windows, so I do not have the uname and Xorg logs with version numbers, but from memory its freebsd 6.2 release#3 i386 machine. Xorg release 6.9. KDE version 3.5.4 . In case my version number recall is mistaken - Gnome/KDE are the versions obtained remotely on the 15th of Jan. I did cvsup and buildworld steps today 17th of Jan. The problem has remained since RC2. I did not have X during RC1, so I don't know if it was present in that release. This is on an athlon64 cpu soc 754 with nforce3 250gb chipset with Radeon 7500. DRI is loading correctly on startup. No hangs on windoz, so its not a hardware issue. Unless its got to do with freebsd drivers for usb wireless (iBall) keyb/mouse. But the system never hangs if I don't load X/Gnome/KDE. Sound/Artsd seems to work fine. I see this on both regular 4.4BSd and ULE scheduler based kernels Please reply-to-all as I am not subscribed. -- Rgrds GobbledeGeek [Everything but Gobbledegook.. !!] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
