The server sends an error message as it should. What happens is that your unnamed box receives an arp request on its bge0 interface, but sends the respond on its bge1 interface. You can use snort to listen for arp packets to see what's going on. I do not know why you have created a loop, with correct routing and firewall there should be no need for a loop.

The server was rebooted early in the morning so its swap consumption was almost non-existent. Around 10 it suddenly consumed probably around 200MB of swap, now it stands at 135MB which is pretty normal with this machine (it only has 512 RAM). SWAP usage is normal with this machine but it usually is a matter of 2-3 days before it gradually takes over 10-13% of swap space. I tried by looking at: http access log auth.log maillog messages Nothing in there indicating an outburst of sudden activities. heh - I now think I may be wrong. The load average did not necessarily produce so much swap consumption so fast. At 10:13 I run a cron job optimising all mysql tables.

OpenOffice 2.3 BASE, PostgreSQL 8.3 with JDB/ODBC: NO SSL possible?
Hello, I got a problem in connecting a BASE Client (OpenOffice DB Client) to a remote, SSL-secured PostgreSQL server. Both, client and server, running FreeBSD 7.0, but this does only matter for the OO client side. With OO under Windows it is either with ODBC or JDBC possible to connect via SSL to the DB server, but this is not for OO under FreeBSD using JDBC/ODBC as recently compiled from the ports. I searched the net and found that because postges-odbc is compiled against libpg.so on FreeBSD/UNIX and SSL connectivity is therein, it should be up to the ODBC driver how to connect , but I did not find any explanation what to switch on or of in odbc.ini. Even with JDBC (postgres-jdbc), where SSL should be a standard with JDK 1.5, I can not find any information about a knob or even any help on that so I guess the specific driver, either JDBC or ODBC should be capable of negotiating the connection type. This works without problems with Windows clients running OO or M$-Office using JDBC or ODBC from www.potgresql.org. Can anybody help or give a hint?

Or is this something verified only for the state of development back in August 2007? I have been trying to replicate this. ISC have kindly given me access to their test data but I am seeing Linux performing much slower than FreeBSD with the same ISC workload. Kris, Every couple years we go through this with ISC. They come out with a new version of BIND then claim that nothing other than Linux can run it well. I've seen this nonsense before and it's tiresome. Incidentally, the query tool they used, queryperf, has been changed to dnsperf. Someone needs to look at that port - /usr/ports/dns/dnsperf - as it has a build depend of bind9 - well bind 9.3.4 is part of 6.3-RELEASE and I was rather irked when I ran the dnsperf port maker and the maker stupidly began the process of downloading and building the same version of BIND that I was already running on my server. * I am trying to understand what is different about the ISC configuration but have not yet found the cause. It's called Anti-FreeBSD bias. You won't find anything. This is false, but I didnt expect any better from you. ISC widely rely on FreeBSD internally, and contribute *lots* of resources to the FreeBSD project including hosting one half of ftp.freebsd.org and employing several FreeBSD developers. e.g. NSD (ports/dns/nsd) is a much faster and more scalable DNS server than BIND (because it is better optimized for the smaller set of features it supports). When you make remarks like that it's no wonder ISC is in the business of slamming FreeBSD. People used to make the same claims about djbdns but I noticed over the last few years they don't seem to be doing that anymore. What, you mean factual statements? NSD *is* faster, it *is* more scalable, it *does* support fewer features than BIND, and it *is* more optimized for those features (e.g. it tries to precompute DNS responses, which it can do because it doesn't support dynamic updates, etc). The ISC devels acknowledge this. BIND has architectural constraints from being a more complete DNS server solution. If nsd is so much better than yank bind out of the base FreeBSD and replace it with nsd. Of course that will make more work for me when I regen our nameservers here since nsd will be the first thing on the rm list. You're funny, Ted. Somehow you got out of my killfile though, guess I'll fix that.

TFC Having been round the houses with my new build which displayed similar problems, I would say that what is most likely is that it is a power supply problem. There was a shaky attachment somewhere which loosened when you moved and finally gave up the ghost. Your best approach, is to get a new power supply or case with power supply depending on how old your case is. If that doesn't work, then it's probably your motherboard and unless your CPU is quite new and you can extract it, you'll probably be looking at new CPU and RAM also ie. expensive. If you want to get a new case, then have a look at an Antec Sonata III. It's quiet, comes with all the bits you need and has USB ports and e-SATA on the front. Cost me about 75GBP. 500W power supply which is a bit excessive for my needs though.

But this time: 2008-02-27 10:03:36 1JUICO-0002Bs-23 no immediate delivery: load average 15.88 Where can I look for more information about what happened. The server was rebooted early in the morning so its swap consumption was almost non-existent. Around 10 it suddenly consumed probably around 200MB of swap, now it stands at 135MB which is pretty normal with this machine (it only has 512 RAM). SWAP usage is normal with this machine but it usually is a matter of 2-3 days before it gradually takes over 10-13% of swap space. I tried by looking at: http access log auth.log maillog messages Nothing in there indicating an outburst of sudden activities. heh - I now think I may be wrong. The load average did not necessarily produce so much swap consumption so fast. At 10:13 I run a cron job optimising all mysql tables.

Path MTU netstat
I want to see currently discovered Path MTU. I tried netstat -rnaW, but it doesn't show any cloned routes, but i clearly see Path MTU discovery working, by watching tcpdump tracing. An application sends full sized packet with DF bit, receives ICMP Unreach Frag message and retransmits downsized packet again. I need this, because there is another 6.2-RELEASE-p3 host, which doesn't perfom Path MTU discovery, although: # sysctl -a | grep path_mtu net.inet.tcp.path_mtu_discovery: 1 I tried disabling firewall, simplifying routing, but none helps.

Power supplies are very often low quality these days and can't handle the stresses of typical electrical grid fluctuations. My experience has not been that the power supplies can't handle the electrical grid. What I've mostly seen is that the power supply FANS get dust in them, the fans slow down or stop, airflow through the supply drops, and then the supply overheats. Once it overheats, the supply will never be reliable again and must be thrown out. I've been able to routinely clean out the dust with canned air, and they still die more frequently than say motherboards. Even quality brands like Antec. I often replace the fan if it is showing signs of noise from bearing getting burned out. I'm speaking mainly of home and small office PCs. This is something that won't happen as much in a server room since the air is cleaner, but I'd guess the O.P. wasn't in that environment since he is wasting 3 days before trying another power supply. Power supplies do have a limit of life related to the quality of your electricity (and excessive heat). I can recall the bad electrolyte scandle with several motherboard brands 5 years ago. The explanation of the shortened capacitor lifespan due to the electrolyte missing an ingredient was a bit of an education into what capacitors do. They do have a limited lifespan related to heat and the number of hours they are exposed to a high ripple current. Here is an excellent wikipedia entry on capacitor plague which will explain it in layman's terms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague If you have not read about this before, it may be an eye opener. --Donald ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 6.2+PHP+700 sites = DNS Issues?
Hi, I have a customer with a cPanel install on 6.2, Apache/2.2.8 with PHP/5.2.5 (DSO) The server is having problem with dns resolution: Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: hostname nor servname provided, or not known in /snip/support.php on line 2. This script works fine on the CLI but inside apache it fails. I've been told by cpanel support that this is a problem with FreeBSD more than anything and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on fixes, either sysctl tweaks or otherwise. cPanel have tried changing FD options on apache but to no avail. Upgrading to 6.3 is an option if that will fix it. Any thoughts?

If blah is interactive, it will try to take its input from the pipe

You can use /dev/tty as input in the loop iteration:
find . -name '*.ogg' | \
while read file ; do \
blah ${file} /dev/tty ; \

xargs(1) is another popular tool for processing large argument lists:
find -name '*.ogg' | xargs blah
unless program blah starts slowly, and it's better to give it 2000

but i've asked to be sure what is actual limit, and used xargs -n

That's less than xargs's default of 5000 :) The xargs manpage explains

Or is this something verified only for the state of development back in August 2007? I have been trying to replicate this. ISC have kindly given me access to their test data but I am seeing Linux performing much slower than FreeBSD with the same ISC workload. Kris, Every couple years we go through this with ISC. They come out with a new version of BIND then claim that nothing other than Linux can run it well. I've seen this nonsense before and it's tiresome. Incidentally, the query tool they used, queryperf, has been changed to dnsperf. Someone needs to look at that port - /usr/ports/dns/dnsperf - as it has a build depend of bind9 - well bind 9.3.4 is part of 6.3-RELEASE and I was rather irked when I ran the dnsperf port maker and the maker stupidly began the process of downloading and building the same version of BIND that I was already running on my server. * I am trying to understand what is different about the ISC configuration but have not yet found the cause. It's called Anti-FreeBSD bias. You won't find anything. e.g. NSD (ports/dns/nsd) is a much faster and more scalable DNS server than BIND (because it is better optimized for the smaller set of features it supports). When you make remarks like that it's no wonder ISC is in the business of slamming FreeBSD. People used to make the same claims about djbdns but I noticed over the last few years they don't seem to be doing that anymore. If nsd is so much better than yank bind out of the base FreeBSD and replace it with nsd. Of course that will make more work for me when I regen our nameservers here since nsd will be the first thing on the rm list. Please save your rhetoric for some other forum. The ISC folks have been working with us to understand what's going on. I'm not aware of any anit-FreeBSD slams going on; mostly uninformed comments. We believe FreeBSD does very well in any comparisons of the sort being discussed and there's still lots of room for improvement. As to nsd vs bind, understand they are very different applications w/ totally different goals. Comparing performance is not entirely fair and certainly is difficult. Kris investigated the performance of nsd mostly to understand how bind might scale if certain architectural changes were made to eliminate known bottlenecks in the application.

Why 'portinstall mysql5-server' installs two times linuxthreads? How
solve this problem?
Because mysql50-server port thinks -lthread can only have shlib version 3 or
5, while if built with gcc 4 (FreeBSD 7.x), you get 6 or 7.
So, you can wait for the port to be fixed or not use linuxthreads.
You could fix the port yourself, by altering the following line:
LIB_DEPENDS+= lthread.[35]:${PORTSDIR}/devel/linuxthreads
to:
LIB_DEPENDS+= lthread.[3-7]:${PORTSDIR}/devel/linuxthreads
in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server/Makefile
BUTthere might be a reason the port maintainer excludes these version
numbers.

I would do this by building a custom kernel that doesn't include it, but it may also be possible using device.hints. Once you're able to boot without another driver attaching to the hardware, you should be able to load the vmxnet module and have it see the hardware. If it's available and will work with 7.0, that is.. I've been happy enough with re(4) that I haven't gone that route myself. Further, 64-bit VM's use an e1000 NIC which is supported by the em driver.

Tahnk you How to rule out the raid: 1) create a memory disk, in your case I'd go with 256MB if you can spare the memory. 2) Put a file on it, size ~210MB (7 * 30MB/s, should give ample time to let the transferrate go up) 3) share it via samba 4) Download it through one of the clients If the transfer rate is still low, it's not the raid. Install a bandwidth monitor then (net/bmon for example) and see if the traffic is actually higher then the 30MB/s, eating the rest of your bandwidth, investigate samba issues, switches, clients (are they really configured Gbit?). If the transfer rate is much higher, you're pretty safe to assume it's a disk issue.

Freebsd quota sendmail
I'm putting this under freebsd because there is no forum for sendmail, and it does concern freebsd as well.

Printing in Gnome

However if you print now from OpenOffice it should print into the PostScript file. That file is printable with lpr. You can make a small script that you will put into the .openoffice or something like that which will execute these commands simultaneously. Look for the solution on the net.

Using ZFS on FreeBSD 7.0
I'm currently running Solaris 10 Update 4 on x86 hardware at home. I'm excited that ZFS is coming in FreeBSD 7.0. I've found that I don't really like Solaris that much (no ports!). I find it so different from other OS's and I don't want to learn another OS just to have a decent fileserver. So I'm looking forward to migrating to FreeBSD 7.0 from Solaris 10 Update 4. Since ZFS was ported from Solaris, at version of Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris Nevada is FreeBSD 7.0 support similar to? In other words, will a lose some features, fixes, and enhancements in ZFS on FreeBSD 7.0 or will I gain? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Recommended jet printer
yup, HP, check your proposed printer against the openprinting.org database of supported printers and you'll be ok.

RE: Using ZFS on FreeBSD 7.0
ZFS is but one of many things Sun has given the world over the years, need I mention NFS,? ZFS is fairly new all around, and Apple is now attempting to use it in OSX-Leopard. zfs will work best on Sun/Sparc/Solaris right now, but whose to say now that they(Sun Microsystems) have pretty well relesed 'da source, it will only get better depending on Developer input from the xBSDS, and Linux distro's... -but ya ZFS is the file system defacto(128-bit wide capable FS, and therefore infinite) that will replace all other FS's -ya all others!!! just like nfs,..., zfs will be the one all OS's should incorporate except of course M$, cause they're balless, godless Addholes, who hate being outdone and outgunned as usual. it is different, but just remeber, Sun/Solaris is historically based on BSD/Unix -the real UNIX of course so you're not far from the truth. make install RealBSD From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:37:49 -0800 Subject: Using ZFS on FreeBSD 7.0 I'm currently running Solaris 10 Update 4 on x86 hardware at home.

Re: Recommended jet printer
Thanks for the suggestions :) Sorry for the spam, my mail wasn't getting through because i didn't have a PTR record for my domain.

Going from S10U4 (zfs pool version 4) to FreeBSD 7 (v6) you will actually gain gzip compression support.

Mirroring / Cloning FreeBSD System
I have a question on how to mirror a FreeBSD installation / system. This environment will have two identical / separate systems referred to as System A and System B - I want to install FreeBSD on to System A - Once that installation is complete with selected ports and custom applications, I want to make an exact duplicate of System A on System B I dont want to do this with drives in the same system, rather I would like to clone System A Also, it would be nice to be able to do this as a mirroring solution to keep a clone over time of the system in the case of failure of either System A or System B Is this possible to do? If so, any direction on how I would do this would be welcome. Is there a port / application that enables this? Thank you in advance! Never miss a thing.

If so, any direction on how I would do this would be welcome. Install A, then B very minimal and rsync them (port: net/rsync). This assumes a network between the two with different ip addresses :) Is there a port / application that enables this? Pending your needs, you could try sysutils/heartbeat. But for periodical syncs, rsync should do fine. The tricky part will be /etc/rc.conf, since you'll need to differentiate the IP's. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
