Well, after hours of experimentation and thanks *very*, nay
__extremely__ much to the many people on this list, I finally
realized that the default on php4 (and php5) does NOT set up
php to work with apache.  I took in for granted that php and
apache worked hand-in-glove.  Nope.  Matthew Seaman had me bring
up the blue frame and select the appropriate [X].  I looked at the
Makefiles and edited the "off" to "on".  After my 90-11th build,
things worked.  Both on "sage" (aka ns1) and on zen and here on
tao.thought.org.

Live 'n' learn; and this time, the lesson is burned into my
neurons:-)

2:1 was a very old rule of thumb.  A better approach is to consider
your workload:  Your working set needs to fit in RAM and the total
virtual size needs to fit into RAM+swap.  If you tend to leave lots
of large processes lying around not doing anything, you might be
able to usefully use much more swap than if you religiously kill
processes that you aren't using - particularly if you don't have
massive amounts of RAM.  My desktop at work typically runs with
swap utilisation about twice RAM (but it only has ~160MB RAM).

Keep in mind that you can use multiple swap partitions so it can
be useful to have an active swap on each disk.  (The VM system
stripes across available swaps).

I ran the short test on the problem drives, and it said everything was
fine.

I'll try the long test at a later date.

Meanwhile, I turned on the smartd daemon, and am seeing two issues in
the logs...

#1. The drive temperatures seem ridiculously high to this naive
reader, but what do I know?...
110 to 190 Celcius?  Yikes...  Or maybe that's normal?
How hot is too hot?

#2. Sequences like this show up a fair amount:
Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed
from 152 to 153
Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed
from 153 to 152
Device: /dev/ad0, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 8 Seek_Time_Performance
changed from 251 to 250

So is the real "problem" just that the drives are spun down and can't
spin up fast enough? I can probably live with the consequences of
that, and just go on with life -- The occasional HTTP request for an
audio file will fail the first time, and they have to hit reload.

This box is the fail-safe roll-over server for audio files that are
all up online somewhere else managed by a professional (not me), so
it's no surprise that the rare time-out on the real server also ends
up with a drive spin up and failed request on the "backup".  Kind of
annoying, I guess, to an end user, but forcing the drives to always be
spinning is probably not a Good Idea.

Oh, here's a rather long excerpt of the log in case there's minutae
within it that I've failed to include:
http://l-i-e.com/smartd.log

Any help in interpreting these results is most appreciated!

THANKS!!!

First, is libphp4.so in that directory or not?

If not, install the PHP 4 port and it will be.

Next, if you managed to screw up httpd.conf so that it doesn't "know"
that .php files are supposed to be run through PHP, then you'll get
the message you are seeing.  So check your httpd.conf settings
carefully.

What you *might* consider doing:

A swap partition the size of *ONE* RAM chip.

A swap file the size of all your RAM chips.

If you are having kernel panics, you can pull out RAM and then get
your kernel dump, I would presume.

This is a made-up answer from a guy who has no idea what he's talking

Re: Dumb filesystem idea

[Atom Powers]

On 2/4/07, Indigo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hello Everyone,
  Im about to try a disklayout experiment and I wanted to ask everyone if
Im trying things that are pointless or if I should extend the experiment
somehow.

Hardware:
  Highpoint RocketRAID 2320
  2xWD Raptor 74GB
  5xWD Caviar 320GB

Original idea for the setup:
  74GB RAID1 (Raptors)
   /,/var,/usr
  50GB RAID0 (Caviars[10GB from each - maybe less])
   swap,/usr/obj,/tmp,[/var/audit]
  1TB+ RAID5 (Caviars[the rest])
   /home (or just general storage)

The goal is to waste as few fast/reliable space as possible on things that
CAN be lost and to generally reorganize the filesystem by file purpose.


It looks to me like you are wasting system drive channels. That is,
IDE can only have two drives per channel, SATA can have one drive per
channel. SCSI is too expensive to waste on 10GB drives. So while you
might be moving low-use data off of a high-use file system you are
losing the ability to have a high-capacicy file system.


Known issue is that I'll need some script to recreate the RAID0
filesystems when they crash.


Shouldn't be a prolem with gvinum. Except that some applications
/will/ crash if /tmp dissipears, and you certainly don't want swap to
dissipear if it's being used either.


Am I onto something here? I feel like running in circles - it's dumb to
put /var/obj on the RAID1 where it just eats valuable space. But it's also
dumb to put things on a RAID0 where they will crash a running system in
the event of disk failure. I know my idea won't work but I wanted to ask
if anyone was playing with similar ideas.


The trick is to balance your performance requirements and your fault
tolerance with the data usage and system security requirements. The
fault tolerance of RAID 1 and RAID 5 are nearly the same, each can
survice exactly one drive failure. In your example above, the Raptor's
are fast, but depending on what the system is used for you might need
that speed in /var, swap, or some other mount point, most of the time
IO on / and /usr is pretty low. On the other hard, RAID 5 is fine for
a file server, but if you have a database on that volume you might
want to go with RAID 10.

So no, your idea isn't dumb, you just didn't give enough information
to make a meaningful assessment.

Somewhere along the lines AHCI support for the 5287 was added, that is
probably the problem. It might be nessesary to enable AHCI in the BIOS
if possible.
Otherwise a way to tell when this is actually working on the HW is

This is a decision made by the routing table, so there's no good way to

the IP layer.

Well, the destination IP address should be easy to grab.  Even if you do
get hold of that though, you may have to listen to multiple pcap
connections to find out where the routing decisions send the packet on
its way out.

You haven't exactly told a lot about the network you want to setup. 
The logic thing is to authenticate against the firewall connected to 
the same subnet - and that will know the mac address. The same setup 
is assumed in the scenario using pfauth (or is it authpf).


alot of assumptions that are incorrect.  the fireware is running as part 
of freeBSD there is no edge firewall device to the LAN segment.  your 
ideas will not work for my scenario.





Also, unless you are going to give a lot of instructions to people on 
how to configure their network, you will have a dhcp server on the 
same subnet - why not let that also do the web service for user 
management?


You haven't told either, how people connect - is it wireless or wired? 
Some access points supports that people authenticate WPA+something and 
the access point will verify against a radius server. And there are 
other possibilities depending on your setup.


But whichever way you setup your network, I think the best solution is 
if people establish an IPSec tunnel to the firewall, such that all 
traffic not destined for the local subnet must be tunneled through 
that. This gives you maximum control - you can even setup your 
firewall so that traffic coming in on a IPSec tunnel is also filtered.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ is a replacement for rc.local, so it would be odd
if /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.local had any special significance. 



I don't even have an rc.local file, so it doesn't play a part in the
normal boot process, and I assume it's only really deprecated for use
by packages, which should install a script instead.

sO long as my php files are displayed outside, that's a ++plus.
Changing one thing at a time when there are so many variables,
and especially with the ports changing every N weeks, is painful.

Mini-dumps have made it a lot easier to get away with a small amount of swap.
That said it's not like disk is expensive either!

Good suggestion.  I just did (yet-another) ports upgrade and made
INDEx
on ns1.  About 90 mins about I moved the http.conf from zen to
ns1.  There is no /usr/local/bin/php now, or shouldn't be!--but
after php4 fnishes, I'll point it at jotting/index.php.

I have wiped out my Cache(s); didn't realize that the history was

Re: swap file vs swap partition

[Aloha Guy]

What I actually meant was, I know in the old days, if you had 128MB, you want a 
256MB swap but with 2GB RAM, isn't 4GB going to be overkill for a swap or are 
you saying that a 2GB swap will work?  I'm still lost on the ratio since I 
thought the 2x was only if you had like small amounts of RAM.

Processors and memory have vastly outpaced the speed of disks; any
amount of swapping is going to be percieved as being very slow and
something that should be avoided.  Since RAM is also very cheap now,
most people just load enough RAM into their system to handle their load,
and then configure enough swap to hold a crashdump of that RAM.  You
always want swap so that you can handle unexpected spikes in load
without crashing, but it's less of an integral piece of normal system
operation these days.

Re: Problem with mod_fcgid inside a jail.

Hi,

I've added security.jail.sysvipc_allowed=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, but it

Is that a bug or am I missing something ?

Thank you.

Try setting jail_sysvipc_allow=yes in /etc/rc.conf. (Or you can set the
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed sysctl to one, but the jail rc scripts will
change it if you use them and don't have the RC variable set.)

Dumb filesystem idea

[Indigo]

Hello Everyone,
 Im about to try a disklayout experiment and I wanted to ask everyone if  
Im trying things that are pointless or if I should extend the experiment  
somehow.


Hardware:
 Highpoint RocketRAID 2320
 2xWD Raptor 74GB
 5xWD Caviar 320GB

Original idea for the setup:
 74GB RAID1 (Raptors)
  /,/var,/usr
 50GB RAID0 (Caviars[10GB from each - maybe less])
  swap,/usr/obj,/tmp,[/var/audit]
 1TB+ RAID5 (Caviars[the rest])
  /home (or just general storage)

The goal is to waste as few fast/reliable space as possible on things that  
CAN be lost and to generally reorganize the filesystem by file purpose.


Known issue is that I'll need some script to recreate the RAID0  
filesystems when they crash.


Am I onto something here? I feel like running in circles - it's dumb to  
put /var/obj on the RAID1 where it just eats valuable space. But it's also  
dumb to put things on a RAID0 where they will crash a running system in  
the event of disk failure. I know my idea won't work but I wanted to ask  
if anyone was playing with similar ideas.


Thanks,
Vasek

It sounded a little bit like perhaps he wants to dynamically allow
services temporarily, but firewall them off (using a local machine
firewall rather than a dedicated firewall) all other times.  Hazarding
a guess, maybe this is due to the common SSH brute force attacks? :)

If the firewall is PF, it's simple enough to include a table of IPs
for which the service is allowed, and make the CGI on the webpage
issue a "pfctl -t  -T add $ENV{REMOTE_IP}" command.  A separate
process could watch the logs for an ssh logout and remove the IP from
the table when a logout from that IP occurs.

It's a dirty solution.  If the problem is specifically the SSH
attacks, there are better ones (denyhosts, or pf rules to block IPs
dynamically when they connect too frequently), but you're right--it's
hard to give good answers when the problem is so ill-defined.

Thanks for the input.  You do have good points.  The only issue with swap 
partitions is that it seems like you need to increase it everytime you increase

Yes.  A swap file requires a pass through the filesystem code in order
to figure out where each block is.

That's correct, it cannot.

The crashdump code is written to assume that the dump space is
completely contiguous, something that is not at all guaranteed by
a swap file.  While it would certainly be possible to modify it
to make a pass through the filesystem like above, the intention
of the crashdump code is also to be as simple as possible and to
depend on as few kernel services as possible.  When the system has
crashed, who knows what can be trusted anymore, right?  Also, filesystem
corruption is a frequent cause of crashes; why risk that dumping to
a swapfile might encounter corruption and trash your entire filesystem.

You haven't exactly told a lot about the network you want to setup. The 
logic thing is to authenticate against the firewall connected to the 
same subnet - and that will know the mac address. The same setup is 
assumed in the scenario using pfauth (or is it authpf).


Also, unless you are going to give a lot of instructions to people on 
how to configure their network, you will have a dhcp server on the same 
subnet - why not let that also do the web service for user management?


You haven't told either, how people connect - is it wireless or wired? 
Some access points supports that people authenticate WPA+something and 
the access point will verify against a radius server. And there are 
other possibilities depending on your setup.


But whichever way you setup your network, I think the best solution is 
if people establish an IPSec tunnel to the firewall, such that all 
traffic not destined for the local subnet must be tunneled through that. 
This gives you maximum control - you can even setup your firewall so 
that traffic coming in on a IPSec tunnel is also filtered.

Check your lib directories (/usr/local/lib*)? That's the only thing I

Yes.  A swap file requires a pass through the filesystem code in order
to figure out where each block is.


Also, searching has not gotten me very far but are there any drawbacks to a 
swap file instead of a swap partition?  I read somewhere that a few people seem 
to think that a swap file can't handle kernel crash dumps?


That's correct, it cannot.


Shouldn't it be the same as both of them occupy disk space and as long as the 
swap file is large enough, wouldn't it work?


The crashdump code is written to assume that the dump space is
completely contiguous, something that is not at all guaranteed by
a swap file.  While it would certainly be possible to modify it
to make a pass through the filesystem like above, the intention
of the crashdump code is also to be as simple as possible and to
depend on as few kernel services as possible.  When the system has
crashed, who knows what can be trusted anymore, right?  Also, filesystem
corruption is a frequent cause of crashes; why risk that dumping to
a swapfile might encounter corruption and trash your entire filesystem.

packet destination from pcap

[nocturnal]

Hi

I'm sniffing packets with pcap but i need information about where the
packet is going. So far i haven't found any structure or any other way
to get this information from looking at the pcap(3) manual and the
pcap.h header file. I have not had a chance to go through the source for
pcap yet because i have been offline for a while with no source on my
laptop.

I'm thinking i need to open two pcap sessions with two different filters
because the application i'm writing has a need for distinguishing
between packets going to a specified ip-address and those going from it.
 I doubt it should have to come to that though so that's why i ask here
first.

I could not reach the tcpdump list so i thought i'd ask here since it
uses the bpf. Might be a long shot.

Try installing the x11-themes/xfce4-icon-theme port and/or the 
misc/gnome-icon-theme port. You should also submit a PR requesting that the 
needed port be added as a dependency for Thunar so others don't have the

Try setting jail_sysvipc_allow=yes in /etc/rc.conf. (Or you can set the 
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed sysctl to one, but the jail rc scripts will 
change it if you use them and don't have the RC variable set.)

I am not aware of anything that works like that, pfauth may do the job 
for you, but not using a web site. Generally the problem is that web 
pages are stateless, so your firewall won't know when to remove the ip 
again.


You can hack up a solution that does sort of the same:

- let your web page manage accounts, the web server can get ip of the
  client registering and hence also the corresponding mac.




the servers and clients are not on the same LAN segment.  capturing MAC 
has nothing to do with this scenario.



- tell your dhcp server not to expire ip delegations, or make host
  entries with the registered ip/mac, but that requires the dhcp server
  to be restarted at every new client.

- make a static entry in your arp table to prevent others from taking
  over the ip later.

People will only need to authenticate first time. You can decide to 
expire their accounts and revoke access after a given time with a 
cron-job if you like.


Alternatively, require people to connect with IPSec tunnel and allow 
only tunneled traffic to be routed. When they register a set of keys 
are generated for use with that client only. This is really the ideal 
as you can for example leave an AP open, yet have traffic encrypted.

Re: 'borrowing' 6.1 drivers for use in 6.2 (sata)

[Steve Franks]

On 2/3/07, Ted Mittelstaedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi Steve,

  I should have been more clear, sorry!  You cannot just replace a .ko file
that is a binary file.  You have to install the kernel sources, then go into
the
directory that the driver .c and .h files are, back those up, and replace
them,
then recompile the kernel.

  Here's probably what you want to do:

Go to here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/

examine the files.  For example, assume it was ata-disk.c  Examine the
history
by clicking on the file you will see the different changes.  For example
according to this revision 1.189.2.5  was used for 6.2-release, revision
 1.189.2.4  was used for 6.1-release.  If the bug is in this file it was
introduced
in one of the intermediate revisions between these 2.

You will note this cooresponds with:

/sys/dev/ata

on your system assuming you installed the kernel sources.  If you wanted to
backrev this driver you would install sources, recompile the kernel and
install it and reboot to make sure you know how to build a running
kernel, then you would go to this directory, replace the file you want
(ata-disk.c for example) and recompile the kernel and install it and reboot
and
cross your fingers.  Rebuilding the kernel is covered in the online handbook
on the website.

It most likely won't work the first time.  You will need to try this with
several files.  You also want to try newer revisions of this file.  Or you
can
get bold and tar up the entire directory from a 6.1-release system and
move /sys/dev/ata to /sys/dev/ata.bak and untar the old directory into your
6.2 system than try that.  Obviously you need a 6.1 system around for this.

If Soren has a guess to this he may send you patches to one or more
of these files for testing, you will need to apply them and rebuild and
reboot to see
if it works.

This sort of thing can take a lot of time.  But it is really critical that
you get
on it right away.  Since right now there wern't many changes between
the drivers and it will be very easy to narrow it down to precisely what
revision change causes the problem.  It is much worse when people post
things like such-and-such piece of hardware worked under FreeBSD 2.2
5 years ago and not under 6.2 today.

 why the box keep complaining from this IP?
 Is it possible that someone on my LAN, are trying to use this IP by

 If yes, how would I know who and what?

 Or is it some hacking attempt.
 I know my server replying and saying NO im not this IP, nor on the same

 but this IP is from australia i belive and im way far from that

 any explains please?

This is generally a function of your terminal emulator or xterm and is a
carryover from old DEC terminal's stupid keyboard mappings.

The attached XTerm file put in $HOME/XTerm will get xterms to send ctrl-h
from the backspace key.  Other programs like putty typically have a
keyboard configuration that permits setting the backspace key to send
either ctrl-H or a DEL character.

I leave it as an exercise for the student to figure out my other 
tweaks in

this file :-).

If you're asking about the beeps during command line editing, this is a
feature of your shell. For example, in tcsh there's this variable:

   nobeep (+)
   If set, beeping is completely disabled.  See also

Mainboard buzzer -- How to disable?

[Modulok]

The integrated buzzer on system mainboards, can this be disabled from
FreeBSD? I looked through my BIOS and didn't see any relevant settings.
Everytime I press backspace one too many times, it beeps at me. It is damn
annoying.

Before I get the pliers...thoughts, hints, pointers?

Re: temporary IP addition to firewall rules

I am not aware of anything that works like that, pfauth may do the job 
for you, but not using a web site. Generally the problem is that web 
pages are stateless, so your firewall won't know when to remove the ip 
again.


You can hack up a solution that does sort of the same:

- let your web page manage accounts, the web server can get ip of the
  client registering and hence also the corresponding mac.

- tell your dhcp server not to expire ip delegations, or make host
  entries with the registered ip/mac, but that requires the dhcp server
  to be restarted at every new client.

- make a static entry in your arp table to prevent others from taking
  over the ip later.

People will only need to authenticate first time. You can decide to 
expire their accounts and revoke access after a given time with a 
cron-job if you like.


Alternatively, require people to connect with IPSec tunnel and allow 
only tunneled traffic to be routed. When they register a set of keys are 
generated for use with that client only. This is really the ideal as you 
can for example leave an AP open, yet have traffic encrypted.

SOT: How to install non-standard LaTeX fonts

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi:

I know this may be slightly off topic, but I see many non-standard latex 
fonts (http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/) not included in ports, that I'd 
like to use, for example those distributed with the emerald package.


Now, I have two problems:

- The documentation seems to apply to all distributions of LaTeX but 
teTeX. How do I install and make latex/pdflatex aware of these new fonts?


- Installing non-standard fonts not included in ports in the standard 
paths will mess things up, is it possible to install these in a user 
defined path? I am aware of the TEXINPUTS environment variable, is there 
something similar, like FONTINPUTS, I need to set?


Thanks, Erik

Update to 2.0 will be coming soon...Maybe this weekend, if I find some time. I
have no idea if it'll fix the problem, but 1.x is dead either way.

Did you recompile the php4 port recently?  If you:

cd /usr/ports/lang/php4
make config

Is the box for 'Build Apache Module' checked?  If not,
check it now, and reinstall the land/php4 port.  That
should regenerate the libphp4.so module in
/usr/local/libexec/apache

Cheers,

Hmmm... very strange.  We have just built a RELENG_6_2 server with
apache13-ssl, php5 and phpMyAdmin and no such problems are apparent.

Did you modify the CFLAGS or otherwise change the level of
optimization used by the compiler?

I rebuild everything, including apache13--- and nojoy.  Another 
screwup is that on my thinkpad I rebuilt php4, and now it, too,
fails to display anything PHP.  

Will you do me a favor and point firefox at
http://jottings.thought.org ?  Everything  on that v-site has php
stuff.  See if the browser says it can't display and asks
what-to-do.   

I'm in the process of doing a ports-tree update on this server
(tao) and going to try here.  My newest platform is under
construction.   

I'd say something like "Aaaaggghhh!!!" but I don't have
the energy :-|
