quick question regarding jails.
Howdy all, Just wondering if a box has 2 Ethernet cards with each card going to a different gateway/network, is it possible to stick a jail on the machine listening on one network interface and routing data out one card/network/gatway while the rest of the system uses the other port and gateway/network. I hope that makes sense.

Time and Date configuration Gnome 2.22.3 FreeBSD 7.0
Hello Everyone, I am not sure if this is the correct mailing list to post this to, so my appologies in advance if it is not. I am requesting specific information here, so please respect this by NOT doing the following: 1) I do not want to read any me too replies in this thread, as they are pointless and a waste of space, not to meantion a waste of everyones time. 2) I am not interested in work arounds, just a specific fix to the issue that I am having. I have done a search on google, and according to the search on the mailing list here, using time, and gnome there are no results. I am having issues specifically with the Time and Date configuration in gnome 2.22.3 on freebsd 7.0-RELEASE-p2 What is happening, is if you click on SystemAdministrationTime and date, when it comes up all options are greyed out. This means that from within gnome, you are not able to set it up to sync with a time server, or even manually change the time and date. This was working, though with some of the updates to the ports collection I am not exactly sure when it stopped working. I have used cvsup to update the ports collection and have also used the standard-supfile to update the src list (leaving it at src-all). I have removed gnome by: pkg_deinstall -R x11/gnome2 and also by using: pkg_deinstall -Rf x11/gnome2 I have used pkgdb -F to fix any inconsistancies. I have deleted the .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private directories. No matter what I have tried the issue still remains. Is there something else I need to delete in order to purge all of gnome, and start totally from scratch? I have followed ALL of the faq for de-installing gnome. What I want is to be able to adjust the time and date from within gnome as you are meant to be able to. Yes I am fully aware of the command line options. This is a work around and NOT a fix.

Thank you very much Matthew! Just one final question. When the apache child process finally terminates, will apache start logging to a new log? Or will it be writing into the ether until it gets restarted? Thanks again! I appreciate your help. The restart process with apache is that all the child processes are shutdown -- either straight away (for a plain restart) or once they've finished their current bit of work (fora graceful restart). As the child process shuts down, it closes all the file descriptors used for logging. Ultimately the master process will respawn itself -- in the event of a graceful restart this may occur before all of the old child processes have closed down. I'm not sure if the master process actually logs anything much, but even if it doesn't this will similarly close and then reopen all file descriptors. The renewed master process then starts up a whole new set of child processes, each of which will open up new logging connections. Now, if logging direct to a file, apache will open the file by name. As newsyslog has just moved away the old file and created a new file with the appropriate name, this means that all log output from the new apache processes will go into the new log file. Which is what you want.

freebsd library loading question
I'm hoping this is the right place to ask: I'm working on something in
FreeBSD 7.0 (i386) and GCC:
I'm getting the following error when executing a program:
dlerror - Invalid shared object handle 0x0
the full context is:
DEBUG: ../include/ctypeless_dyn_unix.h(00310) -Loading library:
ctypeless.so
Error loading ctypeless library: -1
dlerror - Invalid shared object handle 0x0
which comes from the lines:
int ret = 0;
if(!dlname)
dlname = ctypeless.so;
CT_DEBUG1(Loading library: %s\n\n, dlname);
void *dlhandle = dlopen(dlname, RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);
if(dlerror())
{
printf(Error loading ctypeless library: %d\n dlerror - %s\n,
test, dlerror());
return -1;
}
Am I correct in assuming this is because the program is not finding
the library? I tried putting the ctypeless.so library in
/usr/local/lib, but that did not fix the issue.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong (or a better place to ask)?
Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton

For others, the answer is It depends. Yes, you can configure daemons running on the host to bind to one interface, and configure daemons running on the jail to bind to a different interface. However, host - jail communications occur over loopback and routing data between the two, if that's the question being asked, has its limitations. I brought up this problem just recently. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=407605+0+archive/2008/freebsd-questions/20080713.freebsd-questions To sum up, if jail host running at 10.0.0.1 connects to a jail running at 10.0.0.2, the traffic will occur over lo0, and BOTH endpoints of that connection will use the jail (10.0.0.2) address. To my mind, that can be problematic. You can modify the routing table so that a host - jail connection exits an actual interface (and uses that interface's IP address). However, this offers limited usefulness as you can't do the same on the jail side (there's only one routing table to speak of), and return traffic won't be seen on that interface. The above applies irrespective of whether the jail host and the jail are on the same or different network, or on the same or different NICs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When dumping to a file it should not take this long. But in this case it might be that dump is waiting for restore, since the space in a pipe is not infinite.

Re: dump and restore
since my original wouldn't boot, I installed a minimal FreeBSD on the new disk, mounted the old partitions under /mnt and copied from the original to the new partitions by using: dump 0af - /dev/ad2s1[adef] | restore xf - (the partitions adef where done one by one) The /usr/ partition was 74Gb, and it took (according to dump 52631 seconds (~ 14.5 hours) to copy. Both disks are IDE, in the same machine on different IDE controllers. Is it normal for a backup/restore to take this long? Or could this be due to my failing disk? if you don't use softdeps on destination disk - it will. or if it had so slow reads because of hardware problem. rather be happy it succeeded :) if your disk is failing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use an Nvidia 8800GT in a Mac Pro running -STABLE with the xf86-video-nv-2.1.8 driver from ports back when I last upgraded and it works fine. The driver info in my Xorg.0.log doesn't explicitly mention the 8800GTX though. However, there is an entry for it in the 2.1.9 nv_driver.c (which is what's currently in the port tree). I'm driving a dual-link monitor (30 Dell 3007-WFP) and needed to hack 2.1.8 to re-enable dual-link support that the author had disabled because it would work reliably in some situations and not at all in others (depending on how the bios initialized the card, if I understand his response). In 2.1.9 he made re-enabling the support a xorg.conf configuration option (see the Changelog entry for 5/9). g. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
