Re: Upgrading to 64 bit from a 32 bit installation on FBSD 7
Andrew Berry wrote: Hi, I've got a server which will be upgraded to my castoff parts which support amd64. This machine has been running Freebsd since the 5.0 RC's, starting on a P2 233Mhz, upgraded incrementally for a few years - a real testament to the stability of a FreeBSD install! What I've done in the past while upgrading is simply move the drive, and rebuild everything with an updated make.conf optimized for the new processor. Can I simply rebuild the world (or use freebsd-update), and portupgrade everything to rebuild for amd64? Or, will things break as libraries are upgraded which still have 32-bit dependancies on the system? This is a pretty common question, did you try searching the archives or google for the answer? Also, AFAIK upgrading to a 64 bit system allows access to additional registers on the CPU, leading to a performance increase. The system will only have 1.5 gigs of RAM, so that's not an issue, but are there any benchmarks out there comparing performance on 4GB hardware with 32 bit and 64 bit Freebsd? Performance is not a single number. Sometimes 64-bit systems can be slower, sometimes faster. Run it on your own workload or look for a narrowly tailored benchmark and see what happens for you.

Agreed. I use a slight modification of this configuration on

the rule set causes /any/ too-rapid spate of SSH connections to
get you locked out, and that includes legitimate users too. Simple
modification is to add a whitelist table for addresses that you never
want to lock out:
table static-whitelist const { \

... \
} persist
table ssh-bruteforce persist
[...]
block drop in log quick on $ext_if from ssh-bruteforce

One could maybe also include a check of $TERM for different terminal

course tools like ls and grep do colorized output themselves when
called with appropriate options.

With PF, you could use state tracking options and overload rules to

rate of new connections,
pass quick proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port ssh \

There are other packages that will read your auth log and count, but being
sort of a PF guy I found the PF-based solution quite attractive and flexible.

Re: Upgrading to 64 bit from a 32 bit installation on FBSD 7
On 18-Sep-08, at 2:37 AM, Kris Kennaway wrote: Andrew Berry wrote: Can I simply rebuild the world (or use freebsd-update), and portupgrade everything to rebuild for amd64? Or, will things break as libraries are upgraded which still have 32-bit dependancies on the system? This is a pretty common question, did you try searching the archives or google for the answer? Yes, I did, and was quite surprised when I didn't find a clear answer :) Also, AFAIK upgrading to a 64 bit system allows access to additional registers on the CPU, leading to a performance increase. The system will only have 1.5 gigs of RAM, so that's not an issue, but are there any benchmarks out there comparing performance on 4GB hardware with 32 bit and 64 bit Freebsd? Performance is not a single number. Sometimes 64-bit systems can be slower, sometimes faster. Run it on your own workload or look for a narrowly tailored benchmark and see what happens for you. The main workload on this machine is SpamAssassin and gcc (for updating ports). So I guess I'll have to look into Perl specifically then. Thanks, --Andrew

Realtek 8111/8168B and Atheros 5100ABGN

FreeBSD-7 STABLE cannot configure either card. devinfo shows full info from the Realtek device and partial info from the Atheros device. In a nutshell, I have no network connectivity on this box. In PC-BSD-7, the Realtek works out of the box, but no luck with the Atheros card either. The issue here is that I don't know which modules are different from PC-BSD-7 to FreeBSD-7 STABLE. A recent thread I read on the web mentions a problem with 8168B not working in the stable or current releases (Jul/08 and Aug/08).

But every time I tried a new hint it seemed to be ignored. I was trying stuff like: set hint.atapci.1.irq=20 set hint ata.4.irq=20 (ata4 is a channel on atapci1) set hint fwhco.0.irq=20 etc... I also tried to move the dc driver to a new irq as a test. This was also seemingly ignored. I then tried turning plug and play OS off in the BIOS but I don't see anywhere to set the IRQs of the onboard SATA controllers via the menus. I'm looking for a BIOS upgrade now... any other advice? Unfortunately you can't really move PCI IRQs around. You can read about more of the gritty details here: http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/papers/bsdcan/2007/ You might be able to shuffle some IRQs around using 'hw.pciX.Y.INTA.irq' tunables. Gah, wrong tunables. These devices are on PCI link devices, so you'd need to do something like 'hw.pci.LNKA.irq' (where LNKA is the name of the link device in the ACPI namespace).

I am facing 2 problems on the console : 1) My backspace key works fine, but the Del and Delete keys also do a backspace instead of a forward delete. How do I change this ? My keyboard is a basic 101/102 keyboard. This is the unix way. There are two strings which may be mapped to the keyboard Delete and Del (keypad . without num lock). In the default us.iso keymap the Del key (scan 083) is mapped to del, which is Ctrl-? The Delete (scan 103) is mapped to fkey61 --- this is also the string Ctrl-? --- not ^[[E which is the usual string for DOS type keyboards. As it happens ^[[E is fkey 54 which is keypad 5 without num lock. ^? is not the same as backspace (^H), but it seems to be the case that bash does the same thing with them. From what is below I cannot tell what TERM you are using or what keys you are trying to map to which function. If you are really using the console or a virtual TTY, the inputrc below is completely screwy. Mapping ^? to delete-char should get bash to do what you want. However, you can expect to have to make some adjustment to nearly every application, because looks like backspace sort-of is the unix way. Many applications do recognize the difference between backspace (^H) and (^?) but do a backwards delete (not the same as backspace) for ^?. Generally, since I can become root, I map Delete to fkey54 in syscons/keymaps/whateverkeymapyouuse. If you tweak the keymap yourself, besure to backup up your changes or change the keymap name to something not otherwise being used because the default keymaps will be reinstalled everytime you upgrade the system. Then I map ^[[E to forward-delete in applications, leaving Del as ^? in case this really does something desirable in the application. 2) Bash simply does not remember my commands in the right order.

If you applied all the Matthew's suggestions and it is still a mystery, and if server's shutdown is clean, look for a a (buggy) user land process that sends SIGUSR2 signal to init(1).

That just means the ftp user was still logged in at the time the system shut down. If not, how would you suggest I find the process or program that issued the shutdown command? Read the system logs, basically. /var/log/messages or /var/log/all.log (if you've enabled it). The shutdown(8) command will always write syslog messages when invoked. halt(8) or reboot(8) will write a 'shutdown' record into wtmp (ie. look at 'last shutdown') but don't log anything to syslog. However, you're quite likely to find that there is nothing in the log or wtmp files to explain what happened. All this means is that the system went down suddenly -- perhaps power dropped out momentarily, or a thermal cutout tripped or the system panic'd for one of any number of reasons. You'ld be able to detect log file traces showing fsck(8) being run on the root f/s following any of those sort of unclean shutdowns, and if the system panic'd then you may well have a core dump sitting in /var/db/crash -- depends whether you've enabled that functionality or not.

Wifi and wpa_supplicant
Is it just me or is wpa_supplicant not the best option for auth on wifi?
I have now used several systems with wifi and wpa_supplicant and none
have been capable of maintaining the network connection. I haven't asked
before specifically because I thought it was my aging hardware - but now
I've used new hardware, ral and iwi devices and several combinations
with the same sort of issues. I will also add I've used 6.1, 6.2, 6.3
and 7.0 FBSD.
I have a very simple conf using this:
network={
ssid my ap
psk secret
}
I have added some other options such as mode=1 and key_mgmt=NONE, but
that hasn't changed anything.
Basically if I go ifconfig then the device simply has no carrier and no
association intermittently. I've tried using keep alive techniques by
using the network, but it can still drop out. I've tried new AP's too.
The only way I can keep the network alive is by killing and restarting
the supplicant.
Another new thing with the ral on one machine is that I have to set the
roaming to auto and scan before it will associate, and even then I can't
get an ip because of drop out.
I've tried various modes and settings with ifconfig and the ap's but
nothing has worked.
Any ideas, or anyone else having the same sort of issues? It appears to
me that wpa_supplicant is not very effective... the only stable
connections I get are using network manager on linux (not my favourite
alternative) and even then I'd rather have more control of my
connection.
Cheers
