GEOM_JOURNAL: Timeout. Journal gjournal 2578807269 cannot be completed.

Screenshots will not come through on the list, could you upload them 
somewhere and send a link?

Is the partition you are trying to journal mounted?


Now I figured out that the size of the journal partition was too small. 
I changed it to 40GB and now it is fine.


Thanks,

 Could be that the 2 cards are confusing it, as you suggested previously
 (they both use the same driver). Can you disable one in the BIOS? 

I am afraid not :( my ATI radeon 3850 comes with HDMI support which I
can't disable.

 What does:
 
 $ cat /dev/sndstat
 
 give you?

sndstat:
 FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386)
 Installed devices:

channels duplex)

 I'm not surprised it freaks out - it's probably struggling to figure
 out which card to use.
 
 I feel pretty sure you'll have better luck disabling one. I have had 2
 cards in the same machine before but they used different drivers.

Can this problem be solved with buying an new soundcard? Or wil I run
into the same mess?

 2. I installed from ports- I would have thought (like most would, and
 history has served to provide empirical data) that the install process
 would have set this.
 3. None of the information I read when searching emphasised this when
 all other options are already set- and certainly none based on freebsd.
 
 Anyone else with this issue popping up THIS is the answer- set ALL the
 configuration options in the INSTALL file.

This should go to freebsd-ports, not freebsd-questions.  I would also
recommend filing a PR about this, since otherwise it's unlikely to get
addressed/fixed.

linux emulation

I don't know if anyone else is trying; but, I am attempting a Linux 
installation of virtualbox on FreeBSD amd64. 

Here is the output first:
sh Desktop/VirtualBox-1.6.0-Linux_amd64.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation
VirtualBox Version 1.6.0 (Wed Apr 30 22:37:39 CEST 2008) installation

Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.
The current kernel version is 7.0-RELEASE
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.

Okay. Do I need to brandelf this binary?

Where are the headers for fc4 or kernel 2.4.x?

kBuild is still broken. I've asked the maintainer to re-implement it along with 
a warning. It's needed to build virtualbox.

Make sure that's mode 400.  You should then be able to type 'mysql' as the unix

Re: php5 segfault




Also, you cannot use a threaded Apache (e.g. threaded MPMs) with PHP
since not all extensions support threading.  Your Apache needs to be
built without threads and use a non-thread model (e.g. prefork).  I've
also had success with Apache-ITK-mpm.


This is very true for mod_php, but less so if PHP is run as FastCGI. 
I am

currently running a box at work with the event mpm and mod_fcgid for
testing and it seems to be doing well. YMMV
All right. The problem is that we are getting segfaults with the CLI 
version too. We are running some background PHP programs and they also 
throw segfault.


Here is the interesting part. I wrote a test script that tries to 
connect to the postgresql server.


- if the hostname is wrong for the connection, there is no segfault
- if the hostname is right but the password is wrong (e.g. it cannot 
connect to the server) then there IS segfault.


There are no options to configure in php5-pgsql.

I tried to change the order or module in extensions.ini, no success so far.

Best,

I thought you said you changed the order and it didn't work?  *confused*
  
I said no success so far. There are more than 20 modules and there is no 
description about what the good order should be. I had to keep trying...

If so: it should be obvious why it hasn't been fixed.  It doesn't appear
to affect everyone -- for example, we have never seen this problem in
the 4-5 years we've been using PHP on FreeBSD -- and the solution
doesn't really make much sense anyway.  It smells of a missing symbol
problem (e.g. libxx.so wants a symbol named hello_bob, but the symbol
is available in libyy.so, which has to be loaded first; however, ld.so
and dlopen(3) have explicit handling for this scenario (see RTLD_NOW vs.
RTLD_LAZY), so I'm at a loss).
  
Maybe you are right. But I would think that a missing symbol problem 
should throw an error message telling missing symbol instead of making 
a segfault.

That said, if you feel this is a humongous issue, I highly recommend you
mail the PHP port maintainer and express your concerns, or open a PR

You can have only one default gateway, that should be to where all other

I'll guess the problem isn't related to KDE, but to X in general.

On Behalf Of matt donovan

 why is this news or even important? heck most servers
 are up longer then this.

It's neither. But the discussion proved useful as it served to remind me
that there are security updates that need to be reviewed periodically,
even for machines that are not directly connected to the outside world.
I also recorded a couple of URLs that I should review, and caught the
reminder that 2038 is coming quicker than I had hoped. That was very
timely, by the way. Later that same day it helped debug a problem. Yeah,
we already have one web developer that has run up against that limit. He
decided that forever is 30 years and wondered why QA got an error when
they tried to set a schedule end date with it. No, we don't use any 64

Multiple NICs routing question

2008-10-09 Thread Konrad Heuer



Hello,

I've a server box with four NICs addressing different subnets:

NIC1:   one class c subnet of same class b network
NIC2:   another class c subnet of same class b network
NIC3:   local unrouted network
NIC4:   local unrouted network

In the current configuration I use a default gateway (and no routing 
daemon) in the subnet addressed by NIC1. Now of course, if a client in an 
arbitrary different class c subnet contacts the server using the ip 
address of NIC2, it gets a reply from NIC1.


How can I cange this? I'd like the server to answer via the interface the 
client uses when connecting.


Maybe that's a silly question, but thanks for any reply!

 As far as I know the amd64 version is (anyone care to verify/correct?)

All 64-bit platforms have 64-bit time_t, so that covers most of the
possible problems.  Even on 32-bit platforms, the major filesystems
use 64-bit times, so the data is good to go on 64-bit systems.

And in theory it should be possible to change time_t to unsigned, and

I've installed the port with authlib and gdbm (even manually adjusted

It's known that regex(3) is slow for some cases. See

 The regexec() function performance is poor.  This will improve with
later
 releases.  The nmatch argument exceeding 0 is expensive; nmatch
exceeding
 1 is worse.  The regexec() function is largely insensitive to RE
complex-

does
 matter; in particular, there is a strong speed bonus for keeping RE
 length under about 30 characters, with most special characters counting
 roughly double.

 The regcomp() function implements bounded repetitions by macro
expansion,
 which is costly in time and space if counts are large or bounded
repeti-
 tions are nested.  An RE like, say,
 `a{1,100}){1,100}){1,100}){1,100}){1,100}' will (eventually) run
 almost any existing machine out of swap space.


Someone with more experience in the regex(3) implementation should see
if the pattern:

cannot install from existing UFS thumb drive with sysinstall

2008-10-09 Thread Carl

I've crafted a USB flash thumb drive containing a bootable UFS partition 
containing the contents of 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso. It boots properly 
and sysinstall runs as expected, so I'm all set to install FreeBSD to a 
system that has no optical drive. Just as fbsd2 in the following 
thread, I ran into the problem of being unable to specify the USB thumb 
drive as the installation media:


http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2007-08/msg00369.html
[ http://tinyurl.com/4o7pkl ]

I was not deterred though because I knew from Reid Linnemann's response 
that I just needed to select Install from an existing filesystem. I 
also understood that I'd need to go to the Fixit menu first and launch 
the Emergency Holographic Shell (EHS) first in order to mount the thumb 
drive's UFS partition. Unfortunately, the final response in the above 
thread appears to indicate that fbsd2 might not have understood what 
he was seeing and it seems no one followed up with an explanation or 
solution. The problem is that the EHS, exactly as advertised, has a very 
small set of commands. While it does include 'mount_nfs', it does not 
appear to include anything for mounting a local UFS filesystem, which 
strikes me as being a strange thing to leave out.


So, can anyone tell me how I can mount my thumb drive's UFS partition 
from within sysinstall? Linnemann countering the fbsd2 assertion that 
this is a show stopper now looks to me to have been a little hasty, but 
I need to believe I'm missing something here.


If there really isn't a way to mount the thumb drive's filesystem, is 
there a way to custom the ISO content such that either 1) the EHS can 
have 'mount' added to it, or 2) the thumb drive's filesystem can be 
automatically mounted upon sysinstall startup? Yes, I realize anything's 
possible if I were willing to build a whole new custom ISO from the 
ground up, but that's more dramatic than I'm ready for.


I know virtually nothing about NFS, so excuse what is probably a stupid 
question... is it possible to use sysinstall's NFS capabilities to mount 
a local UFS filesystem somehow?

 Thanks for the detailed installation instructions for the Pixma iP4500 
 linux drivers from Canon.
 
 I followed the instructions and everything went very smoothly apart from 
 one minor problem. Using rpm2cpio and cpio to extract the files from 
 cnijfilter-ip4500series-2.80-1.i386.rpm resulted in all the directories 
 being created with mode 700. This resulted in permission denied 
 errors when piping an ascii test file through a2ps and gs to cifip4500. 

Ouch... I tested the instructions on 8-current which had been
introduced bsdcpio.  FreeBSD 7.x and the former bundles GNU cpio.

2.7 and the former versions of GNU cpio has a bug.  If the original
cpio archive has no information about directories (such as the output
of rpm2cpio), the old GNU cpio sets those permission to 700
unconditionally.

The latest version of GNU cpio, and bsdcpio reflects the value of
umask in such a case.

 http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/#releases


 After setting the directory permissions to 755 everything was fine and 
 I now have a functional printer.

So currently the users other than 8-current should do the following
procedure:

$ mkdir ip4500  # working directory
$ cd ip4500
$ rpm2cpio /PATH/TO/cnijfilter-ip4500series-2.80-1.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd
$ find ./usr -type d | xargs chmod 755  # fix directory permission
$ su
Password:
# cp -Ri ./usr /compat/linux/
# /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -r /compat/linux


 The output quality is much better than I could get with the gutenprint 
 driver but the output is limited to 600 dpi so it's nothing like as 
 good as the windows driver in high quality mode. But it is certainly 
 good enough for normal day to day use and I don't mind switching to 
 Windows for the occasional high quality photo print.

When I was a young boy, I went on vacation with my family to a lake in upper

was warm and inviting, the swimming was thoroughly enjoyable and the cabin we 
stayed in was luxurious (by the standards of a little boy.)


However, my mother said something to me that mad me angry.  To punish her, I 
stomped off in a huff and spent the remainder of the vacation scowling in the 
cabin.  I refused to swim until she corrected the perceived injustice. 
Needless to say, my punishment caused me a great deal more consternation than 
it did her, or my siblings who were all happily enjoying the water and the 
boating and the entire lovely vacation while I fumed in the cabin.

daily/weekly/monthly periodic output

2008-10-09 Thread Corey Dulecki

I have FreeBSD 6.2 running on IBM hardware, single CPU.  This server 
does not have sendmail enabled at all, i.e., in /etc/rc.conf, all four 
of the sendmail_xxx enablers are set to NO.  Today, the /var 
filesystem ran out of inodes.


I tracked the issue down to files that keep appearing in 
/var/spool/clientmqueue.  I've researched enough to understand that 
these files represent emails that cannot be sent, presumably because I 
do not have a mail server running on the system.  I do not want to 
enable sendmail or any other client; what I want to do is have the 
processes which generate these emails send their information to a log, 
which I will check manually.  I believe these emails are being generated 
by the daily/weekly/monthly periodic processes, something that I didn't 
even know existed until I ran out of inodes.


My question is this:  How can I make it so that these periodic processes 
simply log their messages instead of sending emails that get stuck in 
clientmqueue?  Alternatively, if I can't do that, how do I simply turn 
off these emails entirely so that they are not sent?

Re: uptime 2 years!

Hi,

2008/10/9 Chad Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Well, I can always except critism. The problem is that I don't need rude
 responses for something I thought would be something to share for your
 organization, a success story of FreeBSD. Only for people to call me lazy
 and say Big Deal. If it's not a big deal, than say nothing.  Maybe you
 should put someone in charge of answering emails who aren't cocky and smug,
 some responses were nice and at least supportive.

Chad - I think that you need to understand one thing. This is a public
list and majority of people who post/respond here aren't FreeBSD
Foundation workers but users of this great OS. At least I see the need
to separate the two. So if people are playing kind of rude, just
ignore them. I was glad to hear that FreeBSD proved useful to you, as
it is proving useful to me and an NGO I work for. I could give you
hips of examples when thanks to this list I have learnt something
useful or was given useful advice. And two years ago I knew nothing
about Unix or Linux. Thanks to this list I can manage FreeBSD (almost)
on my own. :)

But the discussion that followed made me realize that uptime is not
everything. I also love to see huge uptimes on my servers but if
anything this discussion brought it home to me that more than anything
I need to take care of security updates which I do.

All the best,

 I tracked the issue down to files that keep appearing in

Which makes no sense, since you're using postfix -- postfix does not use
that directory.  It sounds to me like possibly your
/etc/mail/mailer.conf (used by mailwrapper) is still pointing to the
Sendmail (non-postfix) binaries.

 I've researched enough to understand that  
 these files represent emails that cannot be sent, presumably because I  
 do not have a mail server running on the system.  I do not want to  
 enable sendmail or any other client; what I want to do is have the  
 processes which generate these emails send their information to a log,  
 which I will check manually.  I believe these emails are being generated  
 by the daily/weekly/monthly periodic processes, something that I didn't  
 even know existed until I ran out of inodes.

 My question is this:  How can I make it so that these periodic processes  
 simply log their messages instead of sending emails that get stuck in  
 clientmqueue?  Alternatively, if I can't do that, how do I simply turn  
 off these emails entirely so that they are not sent?

You should be using these values in rc.conf:

# We use postfix
postfix_enable=yes
sendmail_enable=NO
sendmail_submit_enable=NO
sendmail_outbound_enable=NO
sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO

And these values in periodic.conf:

# We use postfix
daily_clean_hoststat_enable=NO
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable=NO
daily_status_include_submit_mailq=NO
daily_submit_queuerun=NO

And these values in /etc/mail/mailer.conf:

sendmail/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases  /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

If you *really* want to turn off daily/weekly/monthly mails -- which I
strongly DO NOT recommend you do, for MANY reasons -- you should look at
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf for all of the values you can tune.  DO NOT
edit that file -- use /etc/periodic.conf instead.

 I thought you said you changed the order and it didn't work?  *confused*
   
 I said no success so far. There are more than 20 modules and there is no  
 description about what the good order should be. I had to keep trying...
 If so: it should be obvious why it hasn't been fixed.  It doesn't appear
 to affect everyone -- for example, we have never seen this problem in
 the 4-5 years we've been using PHP on FreeBSD -- and the solution
 doesn't really make much sense anyway.  It smells of a missing symbol
 problem (e.g. libxx.so wants a symbol named hello_bob, but the symbol
 is available in libyy.so, which has to be loaded first; however, ld.so
 and dlopen(3) have explicit handling for this scenario (see RTLD_NOW vs.
 RTLD_LAZY), so I'm at a loss).
   
 Maybe you are right. But I would think that a missing symbol problem  
 should throw an error message telling missing symbol instead of making  
 a segfault.

That all depends on the C code.  If you'd like to dig around in it and
investigate/debug it to find out what the true nature of the problem is,
that would be beneficial, since AFAIK no one has done that yet.  It's
all speculative.

 That said, if you feel this is a humongous issue, I highly recommend you
 mail the PHP port maintainer and express your concerns, or open a PR
   
 We had the same problem on our previous server. I'm going to install  
 another box today and test it. If the problem comes out again, I'm going  
 to write a PR.

And I would also recommend filing a bug report with the PHP folks.  This
may be something that's a PHP problem and not a FreeBSD problem.  It may
not be a Linux problem because for all we know the Linux RPMs and
Portage stuff in CentOS/Gentoo could have workarounds in place.

Hi Corey,

If you don't already have an /etc/periodic.conf file, create one with
the following entries:

daily_output=/var/log/daily.log   # user or /file
daily_status_security_output=/var/log/daily.log   # user or /file
weekly_output=/var/log/weekly.log # user or /file
monthly_output=/var/log/monthly.log   # user or /file

All of the output from the periodic scripts will be redirected to those
files.  You'll likely want to rotate those files regularly.  I have the
following in my /etc/newsyslog.conf file:

/var/log/daily.log  640  7 *@T00  JN
/var/log/monthly.log640  12*$M1D0 JN
/var/log/weekly.log 640  5 1$W6D0 JN

smbpasswd mortal user

2008-10-09 Thread Scott MacCallum

Greetings,

I would like my users to be able to change their Samba password using the
smbpasswd command. As of right now only root is allowed to do this. I set
the smbpasswd command with the same permissions as the passwd command and I
still cannot run it as a mortal user. I read the FreeBSD handbook and
understand that smbpasswd is no longer the preferred tool to do what I want
with version of Samba I am running, however it too cannot be run as a mortal
user. In any case, I would like to continue using the smbpasswd command.

Does someone have a solution they can share?

Users editing their own passwords -- I have no idea how to solve that.
I don't think it's possible because the commands also allow you (or a
user) to edit many different fields in their account, including
disabling password expiry, changing their unique ID, all that jazz.  It
sounds like you might have to write a program/utility to do this, acting
as a wrapper around pdbedit(8).

smbpasswd(8) isn't recommend any more, true.  If you're like me and do
not care for things like LDAP and prefer flat-files, use the tdbsam
password database method, and the pdbedit(8) command to edit passwords
and do things to accounts.  All I use in smb.conf is:

private dir = /conf/ME/samba
passdb backend = tdbsam

Thus passdb.tdb and secrets.tdb will end up going into /conf/ME/samba.

You can also say passdb backend = tdbsam:/some/place which will store
passdb.tdb in /some/place; secrets.tdb will still end up in private
dir

Nope, not without kernel panic information.

Does this machine have serial console? Are kernel panic dumps being put
into /var/crash? Is the machine even configured for it (see dumpdev,
dumpdir, and savecore in rc.conf).

Some background info:
$ uname -mrs
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 i386

It would be useful if you could provide uname -a please, if you're
concerned about the hostname, just XXX it out. Seeing the kernel build
date is useful.

CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe
COPTFLAGS=-O2 -pipe
CPUTYPE=athlon-xp

Please don't do this. Use ?= for this, not =. If you think I'm
trolling, please read /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.

It almost sounds like a filesystem problem. You might consider booting
into single-user and running fsck -y.

Dear Mr. Marshall:

I'm terribly sorry that our representatives in charge of answering 
emails have been rude to you.  I've just fired the lot of them, 
particularly as we can't afford to keep then on anymore seeing as how 
your generous donations are now in jeopardy.


Moving forward I certainly hope that you evaluate your operating systems 
based on their technical merits and overall ROI, where I believe you 
will find that FreeBSD stands out, as it has for years, as a hard 
working operating system to support your Internet requirements at low cost.


I will ask, however, that in the future you constrain your e-mail to 
freebsd-questions to either questions or answers to them, so as to not 
inflame our more excitable representatives once we hire a new, much 
reduced, batch of them.


Thanks.

Indeed. First one is HDMI on video and second on motherboard. The old

Sysinstall

2008-10-09 Thread borish


Hi,

I have the following prblem with sysinstall: when I run sysinstall inside  
an xterm I find it very difficult to read the yellow font on the gray  
background, which appears very light on my laptop LCD and also on an Eizo  
LCD. Strangely, the gray is much darker if I run sysinstall from the  
console outside X. Is there a way to make the gray darker when sysinstall  
is run inside an xterm?


I'm running fbsd 7.

This should be solved at the core: adjust the RGB colours associated
with the ANSI/colour sequences in xterm.  Does xterm support this?
Surely it stores the RGB values somewhere, I just don't know if they're
hard-coded.  (I'm not an X guru).

It's quite possible in programs like rxvt, PuTTY, and SecureCRT
(Windows).

How To Get libm.so.4?

2008-10-09 Thread Drew Tomlinson

I am attempting to install a web analysis tool named Urchin from 
Google.  Installation instructions are here:


https://secure.urchin.com/helpwiki/en/Urchin_Installation_Guide_(FreeBSD_and_Linux)

Urchin claims to run on FBSD 6.2+ which I took to mean version 6.2 or 
greater.  Since this is a brand new install, I installed FBSD 
7.1-PRERELEASE, assuming the actual release would not be too far off.


I'm following the install procedures which has me run a ./install.sh 
script.  This script fails, complaining about a missing libm.so.4.  I've 
Googled and found some reference that this has to do with installing 
compatibility libraries for FBSD 4.  Thus I've added COMPAT4X= yes and 
rebuilt and installed my world.  However I still do not have this file.


What do I need to do?

Thanks,

Drew

Major FreeBSD version bumps have historically resulted in most of the
base system's shared library versions getting bumped as well. libc.so.4
would have been for FreeBSD 4, but libm doesn't get bumped as often.
libm.so.4 corresponds to FreeBSD 6, and you can get it by installing
the misc/compat6x port.

FreeBSD 7 and later use symbol versioning (which allows different
versions of the the same function to exist in a single library), so
library version bumps theoretically are a thing of the past.

Can you reproduce the bug ?
Are you using /sbin/setkey (provided by FreeBSD),

with both ?


If you can reproduce it, please fill in a PR, Bjoern or I will take

Re: FreeBSD support for HP DL180/G5

2008-10-09 Thread Subhro

HP produces pretty good boxes and historically I have been able to get them
working without any troubles. However I would say DL180 is a pretty non
customizable box. The hardware works perfectly with FreeBSD 7.0. I didnt try
it with 6.3, so cant comment on that.

However I would say DL380 is a better off. The main advantage of DL3xx boxes
are there is a lot of room to play with add-on cards. Also not all the
latest and greatest processors are available with DL1xx family of servers.

Also make sure that you go for an external RAID controller like 3ware or
Areca. I prefer Areca more :-D. The HP RAID controller cant take the beating
I give to it.

 What's that? (world and kernel are in sync)

It is an MSI-style interrupt [MSI=Message Signaled Interrupt] (available on
PCI-E devices and a few PCI/PCI-X devices.) They get allocated fake
irq-numbers starting at 256.

I.e. it is a feature, and a bug or indication of any problem.

Nope, not without kernel panic information.

Does this machine have serial console? Are kernel panic dumps being put

Mailman + Apache + Cookies + FreeBSD


Hi all,

I am not a fan of cross posting, but, I have to make a exception in this 
case as I can't seem to nail down whether its the software or OS causing me 
the problem.


Software: Apache 2.2, Python 2.5, Mailmain 2.1.11
OS: FreeBSD 6.2 Release #0

Apache and Python were built from ports, Mailman was built from source.

Problem: I can't stay logged into the Mailman web interface. Each time I 
submit a form, I am logged out. When I do log in, If I look on my local 
machine, I cant find a session cookie anywhere. It like is never set. And 
the Mailman documentation clearly states that none of the changes will be 
saved in that scenario.


Question: are there any people out there who can point me in the right 
direction? I assume that Python should be setting a cookie, but thats just a 
guess ... could it be OS related?


TIA,

-Grant

KDE speeech fails with kde4!

2008-10-09 Thread Gary Kline

Well guys, the temp bottom-line is that all-in-all, kde4 seems
better than kde3.   The xterm version, Konsole, it more
nicely laid out.  Konq, dunno; I'm *still* trying to get all my
kd3 xml bookmarks moved over.

The biggest fault is that the festival [speech] tool, kttd, fails
to init.  I *do* have kde4/bin before /usr/local/bin, but I'm
missing something that I don't fully undertand.  Do I need to
build/rebuild some of these binaries?  My portupgrade -avPpk
should have done that.

When I mouse some text then hit Tools-Speak, an err pop-up
reads: The D-Bus call say() failed.  Another error dialog pops
up titled: kttsd - The KDE Crash Handler  It says simply that a
fatal error occured and that the app kttsd crashed with a segv.

Is there a workaround?

tia,

gary

Yes, uptime isn't everything. But when security notices are published
its important to read the notice and question whether it immediately
applies to your situation.

In my case a kernel flaw which allows an otherwise valid user to elevate
authority is not terribly important on my 2 year machine. Something
which allows an unauthorized user into the machine is important. OTOH
while my kernel has been running 2 years I have wiped ports completely
several times and reinstalled. IIRC it takes 3 or 4 days to build X11
and KDE last time I tired. No longer has X11 or KDE.

Re: Multiple NICs routing question

2008-10-09 Thread Olivier Nicole

I've a server box with four NICs addressing different subnets:

NIC1:   one class c subnet of same class b network
NIC2:   another class c subnet of same class b network
NIC3:   local unrouted network
NIC4:   local unrouted network

In the current configuration I use a default gateway (and no routing 
daemon) in the subnet addressed by NIC1. Now of course, if a client in an 
arbitrary different class c subnet contacts the server using the ip 
address of NIC2, it gets a reply from NIC1.

You should give more details about your configuration.

If any client on the class B on NIC2 can contact your server, you must
configure the NIC for the class B.

The routing stack will take charge of excluding the class C on NIC1
from the class B on NIC2.

It's very bad that the client that connects via the NIC2 has a subnet
of class B and that the NIC2 is configured for class C only.

If you configure:

NIC1 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
NIC2 192.168.2.1 255.255.0.0

Client 192.168.127.23 255.255.0.0

it should work.
