Both didn't manage to scan the library fast enough. This is not to say, that both needed more than 2,5 hours or crashed. Python based players aren't an option for me, especially when they rescan the entire library on startup. - xmms and bmp(x) don't behave correctly. They have a window management on their own. This is just bad, especially when you're on a tiled WM just as ion3, wmii... - I like cmus one the command line. Needs a bit to get used to it, but you'll love it if you love vi. - Right know I'm using Amarok (yes, the KDE audio player). I like listening to Podcasts and Internet radio streams, and both are handled quite nicely.

Re: [SOLVED] Help please: how to enable SSH password authentication under FreeBSD 6.2? Solved - but not in an expected way
Hi again, Well as mentioned yesterday, I couldn't let this one go by without at least trying to figure out the real reason, so I experimented somewhat further. The issue of ssh1 vs. ssh2 appears to already be clarified, so I won't go into it again. Yes, indeed. I myself yesterday came to realise that I had incorrectly used the term SSH1 for password authentication, whereas it's basically just a different handshake and encryption protocol. My bad. :p Then: It shouldn't. That's odd, as there's no reason to use SSH1 with FreeBSD 5.4 -- SSH2 worked just fine in 5.X. I'd investigate your puTTY installation/ config, as it sounds to be corrupt. Well, I did indeed run the daemon in debug mode, and from the traces I gather that the handshaking doesn't work properly. Towards the end of the traces, we find: debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: client-server 3des-cbc hmac-sha1 none debug1: kex: server-client 3des-cbc hmac-sha1 none debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEXDH_INIT debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS Connection closed by 192.168.1.103 debug1: do_cleanup debug1: do_cleanup And it never (or well, hardly ever) seems to get past that point. I then checked if perhaps I could configure anything in PuTTY regarding the handshaking or so, and found very few options there (all yielding no better luck in connecting). Then, I checked the PuTTY version, and found that it was release-0.50, whereas I read you used versions 0.58 and 0.59. D/L-ed version 0.59 and that works fine! Sooo, indeed the PuTTY installation I had was flaky. For some reason it did work fine with my FreeBSD 5.4 installation, dunno why ?!? Good, glad this one is solved and that it turned out to be such a trivial thing! Tnx for your help, and cheers!

Doing the initial system installation, there should be an option at the very least to enable SMP. Installing a system, then having to rebuilt and and reinstall it again if counter productive. The market is moving toward multiple CPUs. The FBSD installation routine should embrace that reality and afford it the proper consideration that it deserves. hmm...didn't realize that not loading a SMP kernel by default would turn people away from running FreeBSD. building a kernel is much different from reinstalling a system though... OT, but - I know a fair amount of locations will have a custom kernel, and most large sites will script sysinstall to load a custom kernel as well. yet, for junior admins maybe a boot time option allow one to load a SMP kernel during the install phase (which would also be the kernel the system boot's from after installation) may be helpfull. There are currently options to disable ACPI (granted that's a .ko) but perhaps there is precedent to do this. anyway, sounds like a good PR :) -pete Interesting. I have a computer here that's a AMD 64 3700 and it's not dual core, but the board is capable of using a X2 processor, so loads a SMP kernel anyways. It seems to work just fine with the single core, single CPU. The thing is though is that it refers to the CPU as cpu0. Doing it this way just might be the future... Oh, and I didn't tell it to use the SMP kernel. Sysinstall did that itself. So based on this behavior, if the bios reports SMP capable (the bios shows CPU 0 during the post), then sysinstall loads a SMP kernel?

Good synchronisation strategies (especially for the users and groups)?
Hi all, I hope someone can give me some good advice regarding synchronisation strategies between two (very) different FreeBSD installations. My live server runs FreeBSD 5.4 release AMD-64, and my fallback server runs FreeBSD 6.2 release i386. The drive sizes do not match eiter, as the live machine has an U320 RAID 10 array, with an array size of 73 Gb, and the fallback machine is 'lighter' in this respect too, having only a U160 RAID 1 array with an array size of 36 Gb. I realise that at present the fallback machine has half the HDD storage space of the live server, but that's no problem (as the live server's storage space is only used for some 10% or so). Obviously, ghosting images is no option. ;) Previously I had set up (through cron) a nightly rsync strategy, (in combination with some shell scripts I wrote to directly update the DB, etc.) that took care of most of the synchronisation. Rsync was only allowed from the fallback's machines' (local) IP address, and the two machines were connected through a cross-wire cable with nothing in between. The server part of that is still configured, and the client part can be reconstructed, if necessary. However, I seem to recall (not sure, anymore though) having heard and/or read (here, perhaps?) that there are better ways to synchronise than using rsync... S, now that the time has arrived to setup a synchronisation strategy, I can either recreate an rsync strategy, or choose something else (if there are better alternatives). Also, I'd like to be able to (safely!) automatically synchronise users and groups that I may add/change/delete on the live server. Regarding the data, the machine is mainly used as a webserver, running PHP, MySQL and some other things. For me, it is totally fine if the various versions of the installed software are not exactly the same, just as long as I can at least synchronise the data itself in a viable way. Therefore, I hope someone can answer the following questions, and/or perhaps point me to some good reading material on the matter: 1) Is rsync a good way to go, or are there better ways to do this? 2) Regarding synching of user and group data: are there special ways to do this (i.e. including automatic creation of homedirectories etc.), or does one simply manually have to sync the users and groups files (and the user directories)?

Olaf Greve wrote: However, I seem to recall (not sure, anymore though) having heard and/or read (here, perhaps?) that there are better ways to synchronise than using rsync... I guess you might have heard of ggated (8) Co. This is quite different from rsync and might or might not be suited to your needs and configuration. It's more like ghosting in some way and you'll need a dedicated partition for our data. Also, AFAIK, you should not mount your data unless you know the other server failed or both are mounting this data read-only. I never tested this myself, anyway. What is best for you depends much on how you access your data. Is it read-only or read/write? Also, I'd like to be able to (safely!) automatically synchronise users and groups that I may add/change/delete on the live server. I'm using OpenLDAP and nss_ldap for that. Works very well, in that syncronization is virtually immediate. There are some caveats and this will introduce another possible point of failure, though. Regarding the data, the machine is mainly used as a webserver, running PHP, MySQL and some other things. WRT webserver data, it's just plain files, so it falls in the previous case. You should look for application level replication for databases. I don't think PHP matters, but I can't really tell without knowing what you really have. Same goes for some other things. 1) Is rsync a good way to go, or are there better ways to do this? See above, might be, might be not. 2) Regarding synching of user and group data: are there special ways to do this (i.e. including automatic creation of homedirectories etc.), or does one simply manually have to sync the users and groups files (and the user directories)? See above for user and groups; home directories again fall into the filesystem part. bye av. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IBM T60 laptop?
Hi All, I am looking for a good laptop to put FreeBSD (PCBSD) on. The general consensus seems to be that IBM make good units and that the T60 is a good choice. But when I look at the three components that seem to cause most trouble in laptops 1. Graphics cards, 2. high definition audio and 3. wireless cards, the T60 doesn't look so good. So I'm a bit confused. Ok, I know that some people are having success with a driver for the Intel 3945abg wireless, but it is still in development and not yet in the base system yet. In the short term, a wireless card can be used so this area can be overcome. I don't know what is happening on the high definition audio front. I think a driver is being worked on but there is no work around until it becomes available. So for the moment there is no sound. All the T60 models have either Intel or ATI graphic cards which don't have good support in FreeBSD (so I hear). In fact, a lot of people say always go for nVidia cards. This does not seem likely to change. So the T60 seems to strike out in all three areas. In fact most modern laptops have the same problems. So is my assessment correct? Or is there hope yet for the T60. Thanks for any input.

Even better - connecting directly from my Workstation works fine. I tried flushing arp. But I just can't get the 5.4 to talk to 6.2 anymore. nmap cant find any ports. I can't find any log messages.

Re: RT36 port WITH_APACHE2
Joe Auty wrote:
I figured this out,
My pkgtools.conf make args needed to read:
MAKE_ARGS = {
snipped
'www/rt36' = '-DWITH_APACHE2'
}
rather than:
MAKE_ARGS = {
snipped
'www/rt36' = 'WITH_APACHE2'
}
Why is it that some make arguments in this file need the -D while
some don't? Hmmm.
It's not portupgrade that needs that, but make(1). You can set make
variables from the command line, and this is what portupgrade does to
exercise various options while building ports.
The syntax for make is either:
make VARIABLE=value
or
make -DVARIABLE
where the latter is equivalent to saying
make VARIABLE=1
('D' for 'define')
Translating that into the format used by pkgtools.conf you can write
either:
MAKE_ARGS = {
snipped
'www/rt36' = '-DWITH_APACHE2'
}
or
MAKE_ARGS = {
snipped
'www/rt36' = 'WITH_APACHE2=1'
}
You can also undefine a variable by:
make -UVARIABLE

Matthew

Very Annoying PHP Errors
I recently upgraded to 5.2.1_1. After upgrading (or before not exactly sure) I began getting errors ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow detected in my Apache logs. Also, certain parts of one of my database (mysql) driven sites stopped working. Certain pages just stopped working, they return a blank white page. I'm absolutely stumped on what it could be. I have tried recompiling php 4-5x with different options and re-installing apache etc... Nothing is working. I looked for php bug reports, and found this one http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40119 but it does not really pertain to me. Can anyone give some pointers or tips on what to do? Right now I am thinking of just downgrading to PHP 5.2.0 because that's what worked last. Is there an easy way to downgrade ports? Any feedback, tips, or help would be greatly appreciated.

While updating ports using portmanager or portmaster sometimes installation of databases/php5-mysql or databases/php5-mysqli fails or sometimes both but also sometimes both install without errors. When errors occur, it has to do with missing mysql-client libraries, a mysql-client port-installation is attempted and fails because mysql-client is in fact already installed. By manually deinstalling and reinstalling mysql-client port just before the php-mysql port and php-mysqli port installation works, but maybe the next days already same errors occur. Sometimes all ports installe correctly but afterwards php fails to load an installed extension (error message refers to missing functions). This happened once with mysqli-extension, but not mysql and once with sqlite-extension. Some others too, but I don't recall which ones. Usually deinstalling and reinstalling the affected extension fixes it. But there again, I may get the difficulties mentioned above. So in summary, as a non programming observator, i think somehow libraries which where successfully installed get lost at some point on my systems. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Viewing on remote PC
FreeBSD-6.2 I have a FBSD computer that I need to access via ssh from a WinXP machine running 'putty'. I am using ssh certificates for authorization. No problem there. I can do anything I want when I access the FBSD machine in this manner, except run something like KDE or XFCE4. I thought I made all of the required changes to the ssh_config and sshd_config as well as 'putty', but evidently not. Situation: I have 'startx' set to start 'xfce4' presently. If I type: 'startx' while logged in via ssh, xfce4 will start on the FBSD machine just fine. However, on the WinXP PC with 'putty', all I see are the start up messages on the screen.

Re: packet destination from pcap
Hi After i wrote the e-mail to the list i figured out how to get the ethernet destination address of the packet. I'm not sure but this might help me because i need to figure out if the packet is moving towards me or away from me on the interface i've chosen. So i can compare this with the ethernet address of my chosen interface and figure out where it's going. Stop me if i'm wrong. :) Med vänliga hälsningar Stefan Midjich aka nocturnal [Swehack] http://swehack.se Giorgos Keramidas wrote: On 2007-02-04 20:16, nocturnal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I'm sniffing packets with pcap but i need information about where the packet is going.

Well, the destination IP address should be easy to grab.

Tiny is my firewall, and it forwards all ssh and http traffic to
Behemoth. I also forward port 3389 to one of the clients on the
wireless network. I can get into the remote desktop on my machine
running XP and ssh to behemoth from there, but can't from the outside.
Once I am logged into Behemoth, I can't ping anything on the outside.

The weird thing is that I'm logged into this box over ssh. I shouldn't
be able to connect to the box if there's something wrong with the
routing, correct?
I have already tried setting the mtu to 1400 with no result and
rebooting, also with no result, but I'm really not sure where to go
from here. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I've attached
my pf.conf, but it hasn't changed in a few weeks and this just started
happening a couple days ago. It coincided with me adding my new Wii to
the wireless network, but I can't see how that could've messed up the
routing on Behemoth.

Re: Very Annoying PHP Errors
Peter Pluta wrote:
I recently upgraded to 5.2.1_1. After upgrading (or before not exactly
sure) I began getting errors ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap
overflow detected in my Apache logs.
That sounds a tad troubling, and is rather over my head. It does appear
that some people believe that recent changes in the Zend Memory Manager
have been a tad, err, hasty|ill-advised|to be sneered at.
Like I say, way over my head. Considering 5.2.1 was released six days
ago, you may have found a new bug! Congratulations!??
Also, certain parts of one of my
database (mysql) driven sites stopped working. Certain pages just
stopped working, they return a blank white page.
This is indicative of a PHP stop error, with PHP's error_reporting
directive set to off. You might try adjusting the value of the
display_errors directive in php.ini to ON (and restarting apache), or,
on a page-by-page basis (or in a header file if the PHP site using such
things), adding the line:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
to the top of each affected file. PHP will most likely tell you
what the error is from its POV, which might well help you decide what
course of action to take. For more info, see:
www.php.net/error_reporting
Of course, it's possible that you'll simply get the same error - only
now it's displayed on the page instead of the Apache log. Perhaps it
will give a line number or tell what PHP call produced the error ...
might help a little bit.
I'm absolutely stumped
on what it could be. I have tried recompiling php 4-5x with different
options and re-installing apache etc... Nothing is working. I looked for
php bug reports, and found this one http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40119
but it does not really pertain to me. Can anyone give some pointers or
tips on what to do?
Take a deep breath and a cup of {beverage}; chances are pretty good that
you will find out what's wrong. Sounds like, according to your
description above, some problem with the MySQL extension to PHP, or
PHP's loading of said extension, or the order in which things were
compiled, or the options in extensions.ini, etc.
Oh, and see above ;-)
Of course, if it's a real live PHP bug, it won't be quite as easy as
changing an .ini file.
Right now I am thinking of just downgrading to PHP 5.2.0 because that's
what worked last. Is there an easy way to downgrade ports?
I'd not go there just yet; but, it's possible to use cvsup to get an
older version of the ports tree, yes. What kind of a mess you might get
into as a result, I'm not sure. It might be possible to uninstall all
the affected ports and grab packages that were built by the FBSD team
for 6.2-RELEASE; they would likely work, although you'll be using an
older PHP as a result; that's what's maddening about attempting to stay
ahead of the bad guyz these days. PHP 5.2.1, for example, is supposed
to *fix* some potential security problems . . . not cause DOS.
Any feedback, tips, or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
Hopefully it's worth something.

Re: Dual boot problems
Howdy, Hello, This weekend I purchased a laptop with a core2duo processor. The laptop came with windows Vista premier. Due to some applications that I require, removing Vista and installing FreeBSD is not an issue. (Please leave the Vista/Microsoft flames at the door) When I install FreeBSD/i386, I can then install grub (instead of FreeBSD's bootloader) and I can have grub chainload the Vista bootloader. All works fine. However, when I try FreeBSD/amd64, grub won't compile (it's architecture is forced to i386 only in the Makefile. I haven't dug into why, but I'm confident there is a reason. Obviously, grub becomes a non-option. Gag has the same limitation of being i386 only. Do you really need to use Grub to replace the FreeBSD MBR? I haven't had my hands on Vista yet - in no hurry either - but I think it should boot Vista OK. I've use it for several other MS versions from Win-95 - Win 2K - Xp-Pro and it works just fine. I haven't heard that any low level boot code (at the level the MBR works) has been changed in Vista, though I haven't been out looking yet either. I would be interested to know if they have changed the BIOS to MBR to boot sector handoff specs if something has happened to it. jerry Has anyone successfully been able to dual boot Vista + FreeBSD/amd64? I'm eager to have both on the laptop, however I've spent the entire weekend scouring google, and reinstalling both freebsd (i386 and amd64 versions) and have reinstalled vista at least 8 times. I've already thought about using the windows bootloader, but Vista has done away with NTLDR/boot.ini in favor of BCD. editing BCD seems non-trivial at best, and frankly I'm getting tired of reinstalling OS's; so I thought I'd ask around instead of reinventing the wheel. Thank you in advance for any advice, or input.

Using newer version of pgp by default
Freebsd-6.2 I have both GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) and versions 2.0.2 installed. I wanted to remove the older version; however, it seems that some programs depend on it.

I think its an American Megatrends board though. OK - probably not American Megatrends -- they are a BIOS manufacturer. EMachines have, in the last 3 or so years, begun to use motherboards that are modified for their needs; it may be hard to decide which board you have. Have you tried a resource such as Wim's BIOS or motherboards.org or pc911.com to get a *positive* ID on your board? Almost everything you're discussing here depends on the motherboard. OK, this problem is not a simple one to diagnose, and probably near impossible to fix. when I began to install FreeBSD (Actually PC-BSD, but it is 100% the same aside from the installer pretty much...) It gave me errors about ACPI (which my PC here does support...) I got through the installer by disabling ACPI, but it doesn't work that way when I try to start it up. these errors were: ACPI-0397: *** Error:name:43005350 ACPI-0397:in namespace, ACPI-0204: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: could notAE_BAD_CHARACTER ACPI-0213: *** Error:AE_BAD_CHARACTER ACPI: tableMADT: ACPI Startup failed with the other errors are not so easy to describe.

Windows works fine on this PC, and I had a working linux installation prviously as well (although I did get some funky errors too, but it just ignored then and moved on without trouble...) So I'm pretty sure it's some sort of issue BSD is having with my PC, and not some issue with my processor. please help, I'd really like to use BSD, and I'm willing to do whatever I can to work through this.

Thisimply, even whensystem. thanks in err, advance? Is your system BIOS up-to-date? It could be that a later BIOS version will enable your motherboard to talk turkey with the FBSD ACPI driver. It's also quite possible that something about your motherboard causes FreeBSD to load the wrong ACPI table. When booting, use the escape to loader prompt option, and try these commands: set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 boot That may only get you running as in example two above; maybe try this the next time to get better error messages: set hw.acpi.verbose boot You might also wish to try the following tunables in a similar manner, using set at the loader prompt and then boot. debug.acpi.disabled debug.acpi.quirks Lastly, there is a lot of hardware out there, and the FreeBSD Project doesn't have the resources to test the OS on every variation.

You can also schedule short and long tests to run in off hours. smartmontools is easy to uninstall if it doesn't work for you.

They shouldn't be, but some buggy NICs/drivers do seem to get freaked out by STP. When STP is enabled on a switch port, it definitely will delay your initial link establishment by 30 seconds or so, when the attached computer is first powered up. That alone can confuse things when the NIC is trying to negotiate a link speed and the switch is still thinking about STP. It's even possible that you're getting a link speed/duplex mismatch out of it, and of course that will play holy hell with your response time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: RAID 10-LUN Question
RAID 10 uses even numbered drive sets, usually in 4's, so 4 drives, 8 drives, 12 drives, etc. Depending on how 24/7 self-managed you want the array, you should plan for at least 2 hot spare drives for fail over. So in your setup you could have one logical array made up of 12 drives, with 2 spares, and one left for the OS. One consideration in striping is the stripe size. Stripe size effects performance but also storage efficiency. So you want to balance those factors in choosing a stripe size. One last issue, is make sure you have enough cache on the RAID controller. -Derek At 02:54 PM 2/14/2007, Dak Ghatikachalam wrote: Hi Freebsd We have DELL/EMC CX-300 storage array hardware , Navisphere. , which consist of 15 Disks 320GB, I am planning to use this for Oracle( Linux) + SQL server(M$) purpose.

geom(4)/gmirror(4) automatic device DEGRADED status promotion (WAS:Re: gmirror HD failure detection)
All: For a while our strategy was to use NRPE2+a custom nagios check (check_raid_fbsdgmirror -- ugly as hell Perl but which I can make available to the public). However, this morning a drive in a Dell PE1850 (one without a PERC4 controller) started erroring. It has just regular old (bad) mpt(4) controller. The problem is that gmirror(4) never marked the drive as failed. I'd have to tear through the code to find where the logic is for automatic demotion of a failed mirror. Either way, the original thinking behind the Nagios pluging check, was that gmirror(4) would have some threshold of failed attempts to write/read from a provider disk should lead to flagging a provider as DEGRADED Its entirely possible that we never had a chance to test it. Now I have to go back and re-visit all of that. ~BAS On Wed, 20 Sep 2006, Alex Zbyslaw wrote: Robin Becker wrote: After using Dru Lavigne's excellent article http://tinyurl.com/da66a about Raid-1 I have a full Raid-1 mirror on a new rack server.

You can also schedule short and long tests to run in off hours. smartmontools is easy to uninstall if it doesn't work for you.

RE: Very Annoying PHP Errors
I couldn't get error logging to work correctly - I had error_reporting
commented out, and display_errors = On I also added
error_reporting(E_ALL); to my header file and the page was just blank...
What I did was downgraded the php port to 5.2.0 and just re-compiled php
and all of it's extensions to 5.2.0. The end result was magical my site
began to work and all the annoying errors disappeared. I believe 5.2.1
is buggy - reading the Sushion forums many people are complaining about
certain db connection issues and the ALERT - canary mismatch on efree()
- heap overflow detected error. I will stick to 5.2.0 for now and
upgrade when they fix the darn bugs. I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 with Apache
2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.0 with Sushion, ipv6 support, and Apache support.

That sounds a tad troubling, and is rather over my head. It does
appear that some people believe that recent changes in the Zend Memory
Manager have been a tad, err, hasty|ill-advised|to be sneered at.
Like I say, way over my head. Considering 5.2.1 was released six days
ago, you may have found a new bug! Congratulations!??
Also, certain parts of one of my database (mysql) driven sites
stopped working. Certain pages just stopped working, they return a
blank white page.
This is indicative of a PHP stop error, with PHP's error_reporting
directive set to off. You might try adjusting the value of the
display_errors directive in php.ini to ON (and restarting apache),
or, on a page-by-page basis (or in a header file if the PHP site using
such things), adding the line:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
to the top of each affected file. PHP will most likely tell you
what the error is from its POV, which might well help you decide what
course of action to take. For more info, see:
www.php.net/error_reporting
Of course, it's possible that you'll simply get the same error - only
now it's displayed on the page instead of the Apache log. Perhaps it
will give a line number or tell what PHP call produced the error ...
might help a little bit.
I'm absolutely stumped on what it could be. I have tried recompiling
php 4-5x with different options and re-installing apache etc...
Nothing is working. I looked for php bug reports, and found this one
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40119 but it does not really pertain
to me. Can anyone give some pointers or tips on what to do?
Take a deep breath and a cup of {beverage}; chances are pretty good
that you will find out what's wrong. Sounds like, according to your
description above, some problem with the MySQL extension to PHP, or
PHP's loading of said extension, or the order in which things were
compiled, or the options in extensions.ini, etc.
Oh, and see above ;-)
Of course, if it's a real live PHP bug, it won't be quite as easy as
changing an .ini file.
Right now I am thinking of just downgrading to PHP 5.2.0 because
that's what worked last. Is there an easy way to downgrade ports?
I'd not go there just yet; but, it's possible to use cvsup to get an
older version of the ports tree, yes. What kind of a mess you might
get into as a result, I'm not sure. It might be possible to uninstall
all the affected ports and grab packages that were built by the FBSD
team for 6.2-RELEASE; they would likely work, although you'll be
using an older PHP as a result; that's what's maddening about
attempting to stay ahead of the bad guyz these days. PHP 5.2.1, for
example, is supposed to *fix* some potential security problems . . .
not cause DOS.
Any feedback, tips, or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
Hopefully it's worth something.

My php installations have also several and repeating errors, but its
difficult to analyze, because they keep changing.
While updating ports using portmanager or portmaster sometimes
installation of databases/php5-mysql or databases/php5-mysqli fails or
sometimes both but also sometimes both install without errors.
When errors occur, it has to do with missing mysql-client libraries, a
mysql-client port-installation is attempted and fails because
mysql-client is in fact already installed.
By manually deinstalling and reinstalling mysql-client port just before
the php-mysql port and php-mysqli port installation works, but maybe the
next days already same errors occur.
Sometimes all ports installe correctly but afterwards php fails to load
an installed extension (error message refers to missing functions). This
happened once with mysqli-extension, but not mysql and once with
sqlite-extension. Some others too, but I don't recall which ones.
Usually deinstalling and reinstalling the affected extension fixes it.
But there again, I may get the difficulties mentioned above.

How do I secure that part of code, between
those EOF start and end.
It is just terrible to see the password all shown by the temporary file the
shell creates,just for security reasons I dont want any other users in
the system to view my code which contains the password.
If I have long running sql or large program anything I put in between EOF is
shown by these /tmp/sh* files
Any idea how to secure this

serious performance problems with 6.2 Release
Greetings, We are having some bizarre performance problems on a freshly installed 6.2 Release server. This is a supermicro superserver 6022c dual 2.0 Xeon with 2GB RAM. These CPUs do support hyperthreading. We have done significant testing with both hyperthreading turned on and off in the bios and in the OS, to no avail. The server is configured as a web server with apache 2.2.4 php 5.2.0 and ZendOptimizer. We are running proftpd 1.3.1rc1 and perl 5.8.8. We have another server running 4.11 with the same exact hardware and software versions. We have updated to the newest bios that Supermicro provides. The trouble is that the 6.2 box performs significantly worse than the 4.11 server. The load on the 6.2 server is regularly between 2.0 and 6.0. The load on the 4.11 server is between .57 and 1 despite often servicing more connections. We began this process to upgrade into the 6 tree because 4 is EOL. We kept the old 4.11 drive from this machine and when replacing it into the box performance is excellent just like our other 4.11 box. We have tired multiple tuning variables as recommended by both FreeBSD and apache and tried the recommendations in the 6.2 errata as well. The 6.2 errata states that kern.ipc.nmbclusters=0 will help the kernel memory allocator properly deal with high network traffic. We tried this and initially thought that the box was showing wonderful performance, but then we realized that the box was not allowing much network access at all. A single ssh and proftpd connection were all it would accept. Apache wouldn't even start giving a MaxClients error. Removing this option returned it to functional though poor performance mode. Are we missing something with how to use this variable? IS this expected behavior? This particular hardware does display some oddities on both machines, running either 6.2 or 4.11. We know that FreeBSD has hyperthreading turned off by default. We have done some additional testing with hyperthreading turned on in the OS, but we wish for it to remain off due to security concerns. If we disable hyperthreading in the bios and have it disabled in the OS then FreeBSD sees one physical and one logical processor (from dmesg) and only uses processor 0. If we enable hyperthreading in the bios and leave it disabled in the OS it will show 4 CPUs but only use 0 and 2. Top will show that there is 50% idle CPU despite the fact that the box is 100% loaded, CPU 1 and 3 are idle. We would expect that FreeBSD would not see logical processors when hyperthreading was disabled in either the BIOS or the OS. This may just be a communication problem between the BIOS and FreeBSD, but we don't see this behavior on other supermicro servers with hyperthreading. VMSTAT, NETSTAT, NFSSTAT and FSTAT show similar numbers between both servers, certainly nothing that would explain why a single httpd process requires 20% of a CPU on the 6.2 box and only 5-7% on the 4.11, but we could easily be missing something. We suspected NFS or disk bottlenecks, but ran IOZONE tests and found that the 6.2 box is actually having better performance on nfs and disk access. We are running a slightly customized SMP kernel with device polling enabled. The only bottleneck apears to be CPU usage, which works fine on 4.11. From what we've read we should not be seeing these performance problems with 6.2. So what are we missing? We assume its something stupid that will fix this problem quickly and easily, but so far, despite all the resources, we have been unable to find a problem with enough in common with our own to suggest possible solutions.

[[ gnome2-lite wouldn't go, for some reason [?] ]] Anyway, I do have a sound card in this one, but which *.ko I load or compile is the question. If memory serves, I think this has a Matrox card. I've tried adding a few sound [snd_*.ko] files, but no sound. The OSS dialogs open, but the tests produce no sound.. Would the sound card show up in dmesg if there were a sound card hiding? Any help out there? This old box is an HP Kayak XU/XW. thanks, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: phpMyAdmin httpd segmentation fault
I've just had the phpMyAdmin not starting problem after making changes to php.ini and adding extensions. It began as a segmentation fault with only phpMyAdmin and then progressed, as I fiddled with config for php4-extensions, to breaking php entirely. I too have a modded make.conf file which I am about to change in accordance with this tip. However, to get phpMyAdmin working again, take a look at extensions.ini. I found there were many duplicate lines, including some for extensions I thought I'd added and then removed. I removed duplicates and moved extension=mysql.so to the bottom of the list. Reboot and problem solved.

So in your setup you could have one logical array made up of 12 drives, with 2 spares, and one left for the OS. One consideration in striping is the stripe size. Stripe size effects performance but also storage efficiency. So you want to balance those factors in choosing a stripe size. How to determine the stripe size Dell recommends the OS striped across 5 disks and calls itself system private paritition How to determine the optimal stripe size, will I be able to ditch the current navisphere the Storage Array OS( which is now windows based I t and stick Freebsd in its place.
