Re: Cannot create custom FreeBSD 7.0 install CD for serial console

Your switches are a little different from my original procedure, so this time I used yours. The only drawback with this method is that the serial console only cuts in just before the boot menu. I suspect that if you wanted to have a serial console for every stage of the boot you would need to mess about with the ramdisk image on the CD. So creating a boot.config in the root of the CD image cannot be used the way it is for a hard drive installation in order to solve that problem? Anyway, I didn't create a boot.config this time, so I should have ended up with a 7.0 equivalent of your 6.2 serialcd.iso, which I then burned and tried. End result? Abject failure again. All boot stages still use the internal console. Just after Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf appears, there is a *very* long pause added as compared with the unmodified install CD. Eventually it resumes. Don't know why that's happening.

If you do use cp instead of mv, make sure to use cp -p to preserve each file's owner/group/permissions/datestamp. e) make sure any and all symlinks still point to the right file/s. Personally I'd use cp -pR rather than mv in case I stuffed it up :) but then being perhaps overcautious I'd have started off with a 'ls -lR /usr/jail listfile' (if I hadn't made a backup tar) to at least have a full list of what was where, with what user/perms etc .. Also read cp(1) re -R flag carefully .. if there are any hard linked files, as there may well be, then using tar to move these would be the safest bet anyway - plus you'd have a backup .. next time anyway :) Since it just failed to mv some files, you shouldn't need to rebuild if you can mv those files and reset their flags/permissions correctly. Yes, there are hardlinks, so the best way to move all files with preserving flags, permissions, links etc is something like this: [copy jails by tar (or use cpio if you prefer)] tar -cf - -C /usr/jail . | tar -xpf - -C /home/jail [remove flags from old jail files] chflags -R noschg /usr/jail [remove old jail files] rm -r /usr/jail But it applies only in case before you use chflags -R noschg on original files (as you post earlier - now you do not have flags anymore) Another way is to use getfacl/setfacl or mtree to get backup of original files permissions and restore them later.

CARP issue with 2 Masters
Hi I have CARP running on a master and a slave server and for some unknown reason the slave continues to classify itself as a master, even though the advskew is higher than on the master. It appears that queries sent to the CARP ip address go to the master 50% of the time and the slave 50% of the time when both servers are up. This plays havoc with my databases as I synchronise them asynchronously. When I take the carp interface down on the slave using 'ifconfig carp0 down ifconfig carp0 up' it lists it's status as 'backup' for about 10 seconds and then goes back to 'master'. Both servers run identical versions of FreeBSD 7.0 with all the same installed ports on identical hardware. The kernel has the following differences from the standard amd64 kernel: ident DBKERNEL options SCHED_ULE device carp The standard kernel includes options PREEMPTION which is mentioned as a possible problem in the handbook with the slave not relinquishing the ip address when the master comes back, but that's not exactly what I'm getting here. Here are the relevant setup details for the boxes.

Also read cp(1) re -R flag carefully .. if there are any hard linked files, as there may well be, then using tar to move these would be the safest bet anyway - plus you'd have a backup .. next time anyway :) Since it just failed to mv some files, you shouldn't need to rebuild if you can mv those files and reset their flags/permissions correctly. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can't get in-kernel IPFW NAT (libalias) to work
Hello all, I resolved my earlier problem (ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid argument when trying ipfw add nat) by upgrading to 7.1-BETA which includes ipfw_nat as a kernel module; however, it still doesn't seem to work. When I'm directly ping'ing another box, I can see packets arriving at the destination, so the forwarding part (routes) works fine. However, when I add an ipfw rule to send these packets to the nat instance, the packets disappear instead of arriving nat'ted to the same destination. Did anyone have any success in getting the in-kernel (libalias) ipfw nat to work? I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Betreff: ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel
Antwort an Autor | Weiterleiten | Drucken | Einzelne Nachricht |
Hi!
After a long time, I've got a little free time and spent it working for
portupgrade.
A new version (2.4.0) was released.
* Many bugs fixed (thanks to reporters).
* At last I've finished rewriting code and portupgrade now controls all
tasks (before some port installed without a portupgrade note). As a
result portupgrade gathers all depends for a port. It spends a time for
preparing in the beginning of a upgrade process.
* I've change unused -c and -C options to allow run 'make
config-conditional' and 'make config' (force options change) before all
processing.
Test the release please. To move from portupgrade to portupgrade-devel
port, use the command:
portupgrade -fo ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
If you'll want to back to stable porupgrade, use the command:
portupgrade -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade portupgrade-devel

Freebsd-update with a custom kernel and jails
Hi everyone, I'm totally new to freebsd-update. I used to recompile the kernel and the world when I wanted to update. But I think it's now time to take advantages of the binary update possibility. I looked at the man pages and some googling couldn't answer my questions properly. I need to roll out a server quick and I just want to be sure I'm on the good path. There is my situation: I want to be able to use freebsd-update to update a FreeBSD 7.0-Release installation to the latest security patches (I want an update and not an upgrade if I understand correctly). Where this gets more complicated is that I need a custom kernel (for ULE, pf and ALTQ while also disabling some devices I'll never need) and I want to use jails to isolate every services (Apache and MySQL by now). So, I read at some places that you can't use freebsd-update with a custom kernel, but I'm not sure if this apply only in the case of an upgrade between release or if I'll need to manually recompile the kernel with every use of freebsd-update. I also read that it's possible to update the jails from the host system with the -b flag. In this case, I supposed that I need to update the host system before the jail, but is the procedure going to be exactly the same? Talking about procedure, it would be nice if someone could confirm that all I need to do is 'freebsd-update fetch' followed by 'freebsd-update install' to update the host system. I'm sorry if this has been explained before but I couldn't find anything clear on this. I least, your answer will make a good, update to date source of information.

So, I read at some places that you can't use freebsd-update with a custom kernel, but I'm not sure if this apply only in the case of an upgrade between release or if I'll need to manually recompile the kernel with every use of freebsd-update. I also read that it's possible to update the jails from the host system with the -b flag. In this case, I supposed that I need to update the host system before the jail, but is the procedure going to be exactly the same? yes all you need to do is freebsd-update fetch install your kernel won't be updated but your userland will So it is right to say that the custom kernel problem applies only when upgrading to a newer release? All I have to do is 'freebsd-update fetch install' to update the base system then 'freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/jail_name fetch install' to update the jails?

Re: CARP issue with 2 Masters
Hi Matthew That did the trick, have accidentally been using an old pre-carp set of firewall rules for the last few days. After your response, I went back and updated to the new rule-set. It's always the simple things. Thank you, your response was greatly appreciated. Frank I have CARP running on a master and a slave server and for some unknown reason the slave continues to classify itself as a master, even though the advskew is higher than on the master. It appears that queries sent to the CARP ip address go to the master 50% of the time and the slave 50% of the time when both servers are up. This plays havoc with my databases as I synchronise them asynchronously. When I take the carp interface down on the slave using 'ifconfig carp0 down ifconfig carp0 up' it lists it's status as 'backup' for about 10 seconds and then goes back to 'master'. Have you by any chance firewalled out the multicast packets that CARP uses to test for interface death? If either one of a CARP pair can't see CARP packets frequently enough it will think the other is down and promote itself to master. If your firewall is blocking, then add a rule like this on both machines: pass quick on $ext_if proto carp \ from $ext_if:network to $carp_mcast keep state $carp_mcast is defined as 224.0.0.18 Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW Come and visit Web Prophets Website at http://www.webprophets.net.au ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: processes hanging in _umtx_op
[Mel, the last time I replied to your @rachie address, I got a bounce.
I'm still including it here on the CC list. Should I remove it and just
reply to you via this list? --rdh]
Diane, Mel, thanks for your suggestions so far.
Mel If upgrading ports is a possible solution, then you have the
Mel fine task of finding out, which library in everything that's
Mel being loaded is *NOT* linked with libthr, cause a likely
Mel candidate would be two different threading libraries being
Mel used. I would start with ldd -a /path/to/python/wx.so and see
Mel if both libthr.so and libpthread.so (or maybe even libkse) show
Mel up.
What I did was this:
$ python -c import wx
which hangs. Then I did
$ lsof -p $pid | grep '\.so'
to get a list of open shared objects. The only matches for thr are
/lib/libthr.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0
There are no matches for kse. Then I started doing
$ lsof -p $pid |
grep '\.so' |
awk '{print $NF}' |
xargs -n 1 ldd -a | less
When I looked closely at the many libthr.so.3 references, though, I saw
something quite interesting. As far as I can tell, not all are loaded
at the same address. This is quite confusing to me.
$ lsof -p $pid |
grep '\.so' |
awk '{print $NF}' |
xargs -n 1 ldd -f '\t%o %p %x\n' -a |
awk 'NF==1 {prefix=$1; next} {print prefix, $0}' |
awk '$2 ~ /libthr/ { print $4 }' |
sort |
uniq -c |
sort -nr
22 0x28bc8000

5 0x2945f000

1 0x289fb000
1 0x28921000
1 0x28548000
1 0x281b6000
$
However, closer inspection shows that, confusing as it is, this
behaviour is common to almost all the shared libraries loaded into the
stuck python process. Indeed, only libc seems to have just one loaded
address.
Also, this pipeline is actually inspecting the results from many
different runs of ldd on each .so, instead of looking at the state of
the running process.
A little more poking leads to the following result that is again
confusing to me
$ lsof -p 79117 |
grep '\.so' |
awk '{print $NF}' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -nr |

$
The python wx core library seem to have been opened twice, unlike every
other shared object that the python process has opened.
Anyway, I don't know what to make of these results. Also, they seem at
least somewhat unlikely to be related to seeing the same hang in ooo3.
Mel Also inspect /etc/libmap.conf for entries you may have added in
Mel a not too recent past and forgot about.
No such file on my system.
Mel Unfortunately, I see no obvious candidates in your package list (ie:
Mel compat-[456]x, *flash*).
I had compat-5x installed and removed it, but the problem persisted. I
still have compat-6x installed.
So, the upshot is I still don't see a smoking gun anywhere, but I
certainly see some things that are confusing, although that has no
bearing on whether or not they're actually problems.
If anything above inspires you with more questions, let me know and I
can do more poking around. The next step, I guess, is to rebuild with
ULE and/or try out 7.1 prerelease.
Thanks again for your help so far.
Dale.

Where this gets more complicated is that I need a custom kernel (for ULE, pf and ALTQ while also disabling some devices I'll never need) and I want to use jails to isolate every services (Apache and MySQL by now). So, I read at some places that you can't use freebsd-update with a custom kernel, but I'm not sure if this apply only in the case of an upgrade between release or if I'll need to manually recompile the kernel with every use of freebsd-update. I also read that it's possible to update the jails from the host system with the -b flag. In this case, I supposed that I need to update the host system before the jail, but is the procedure going to be exactly the same? yes all you need to do is freebsd-update fetch install your kernel won't be updated but your userland will So it is right to say that the custom kernel problem applies only when upgrading to a newer release? All I have to do is 'freebsd-update fetch install' to update the base system then 'freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/jail_name fetch install' to update the jails? I hope so because it would be very impressing :) Martin Another question just came to my head: May I update the src before compiling my custom kernel or should I keep the original src that shipped with the release to be able to use freebsd-update?

How to generate password hashes for vipw and chpass
Hello, According to man pages of chpass(1) and vipw(1) I can create and modify users by supplying a user database entry in passwd(5) format. The only problem I face is that I do not know how to generate the password hashes for the password field. Following section 14.4 [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/crypt.html] from the handbook I found out that my system is using md5 to encrypt the passwords. I tried to use /sbin/md5 to generate the hash: # /sbin/md5 -s newpassword and then I passed the output to chpass. I tried to use the new password for the next login but it failed - so I believe this is wrong. Can you please show me how to generate the password hashes?

Can you please show me how to generate the password hashes? You can add new account with one command like this: echo user_password |pw user add new_user -h0 Also if you only want to generate valid password hash you can use 'openssl passwd -1 new_password' ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
