If you examine the mysql-server script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you'll see it supports the mysql_limits option for rc.conf. Set mysql_limits=YES to /etc/rc.conf and the server start with removed limits. You can increase maxdsiz (which is different than limits) by adding a line to loader.conf, something like: kern.maxdsiz=2GB kern.dfldsiz=2GB Note that you can't increase it to more than 3 GB on i386. Another thing is that mysql shouldn't take infinite amounts of memory to work. You need to configure entries in my.cnf to match your limits and maxdsiz (in steady state + estimated spikes). I'd highly recommend databases/mysqltuner if only because it will tell you the maximum possible memory your config will use (as well as sensible config recommendations.)

I have a bridge setup which works occasionally, but I need it to work 100% of the time. I also need this to run at boot time, which is where it seems to fall short (not to mention that on occasion even the re driver fails to load- not sure if its hardware or software yet, but appears to have no bearing on the bridge problem; I could still get an ip address via dhcp when the bridge is not working). My loader.conf looks like this: snd_hda_load=YES if_bridge_load=YES if_tap_load=YES My rc.conf looks like this: cloned_interfaces=bridge0 tap0 autobridge_interface=bridge0 autbridge_bridge0=re0 tap0 ifconfig_re0=up ifconfig_tap0=up ifconfig_bridge0=DHCP If I tell re0 to use DHCP as well, I can access the host, but not the guest. If I run qemu in a script, the guest cannot get a DHCP address. This seems to happen intermittently- one problem then the other. If the bridge fails to get an ip from dhcp, I find re going down just after bridge0 starts looking for an ip- re comes up again after that starts. If bridge0 does get an ip, the tap0 will go down and qemu guest can't get an ip. I feel like I'm going round in circles now. Using rc.conf nothing appears to be happening in order- things seem to be going up and down when they feel like instead of when they should. I need this to be stable, not a cross your fingers and toes, we're going in scenario- which is what bridging appears to be like at startup. Manually I can get it working off the bat, but I'm trying to get this working within the framework provided. For reference the sysctl.conf settings mentioned in some circles are useless in 7.1- net.link.ether.bridge_cfg and net.link.ether.bridge.enable aren't recognized. Can you stabilize the bridge at boot, without any other software starting up? The short answer is no. The usual problem here is re0 goes down just after bridge0 goes looking for an ip. The other times are a mix of tap0 going down or some other gremlin I haven't been able to find yet. If not, does re0 get set up consistently with the same config with a basic setup? It can, but that would depend on whether the driver picks it up during boot. If the driver comes back with an error then re0 doesn't exist for the rc.conf, if re0 does exist it usually sets up and runs ok during the entire system up time (as far as I'm aware- I'm accessing the system usually through ssh, I haven't seen anything strange in the logs, so ?). I had similar issues a while back (pre 7.1) in which sometimes 're' devices didn't start up at the proper speed/duplex. Every once in a while, it would show up at 10 or 100 half, when it should have been auto set at full 100 or 1000. If I forced proper speed/duplex, other outside programs began to work properly. However, I haven't witnessed those issues since 7.1 I didn't know about that, but given the problems I'm having I'm starting to wonder if they could be a root cause of the problem here. I think I'm starting to get a clearer picture here: based on my observation on a test system tap0 appears to go down as soon as a program connects to it and uses it. Ergo, IF this is the case then that solves the second part of my problem. So could this be a composite issue from this and a hidden issue with my re0 device (driver or whatever)? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

for i in addr='195.68.176.4#1440:' addr='195.68.176.4#16811:'
addr='195.68.176.4#276:'
do
echo $i | sed 's/#.*//'
done
of course using the echo line in your script or something similar.
I'm sure there are many simple or simpler solutions.

Take out the : in the parameter expansion.
$ addr='195.68.176.4#1440:'; ip=${addr%#*}; echo $ip
195.68.176.4
: is for supplying default values or an error for unset variables.

just before yours arrived I'd twigged that the ':' was wrong there, and
tried ip=${addr%#*} which worked fine. I guess # within ${..} doesn't
get taken as a comment .. which makes sense or these would always need
to be double-quoted.

Restricting users to their own home directories / not letting users view other users files...?
OK, I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I havn't been able to find a straight answer that actually solves the problem, so here goes. We have a FreeBSD server with multiple users. I would rather each user *not* be able to view other users' files via an SSH or SFTP session. i.e. if I'm logged in as keith I should *not* get a list of files when I do ls /home/shannon I realize I can fix this by setting the permissions on the /home/shannon directory to 700. *However* then Apache (running as user www) won't display the documents in /home/shannon/public_html from http://ip-address/~shannon/;, instead returning a 403 Forbidden error. Sooo... how can I set this up so that users can't view other user's files, but Apache still works? I would prefer *not* to use jails, as it sounds like a lot of overhead and complicated to set up... is there another way? I've looked at rbash, but it looks like it disables a whole bunch of other stuff. My users still need a usable SSH shell. I've looked at rssh and scponly, but they seem to disallow SSH shell access completely.

Your problem might be how they change the files, if via FTP, but...
- Move the public_html dirs
- chgrp www, chmod 640.
- symlink in the home dir
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
Example:
mkdir /var/userweb
for USERDIR in /home/*; do
if test -d ${USERDIR}/public_html; then
destdir=/var/userweb/${USERDIR##/home/}
mkdir ${destdir}
mv ${USERDIR}/public_html ${destdir}/
ln -s ${destdir}/public_html ${USERDIR}/public_html
chgrp -R www ${destdir}/public_html
chmod -R u+w,g-w,o= ${destdir}/public_html
fi
done
In httpd.conf:
UserDir /var/userweb/*/public_html
That said, I don't really understand your 'ls' paranoia. If you don't care
about ls, you can set user's umask to 0027 and rechmod all files to 640. Have
users in their own group and have */public_html group www. /home/username
then has to have 755 in order for apache to get to public_html.

Why can't you chgroup and setgid the homedirs to www? (Or whatever account the
web server is running under.) You really have two requirements:
1) Users can't see other users' files
2) The web server can read all users' web files
So you chmod the homedirs to 750/640, and chgroup the dirs and files to www,
then set the sticky bit for the group, and you're done. Seems to me that's the
simplest way to go about it. Setting the sticky bit ensures that any new files
created by a user will have www as the group.
So chown -R someuser:www /home/someuser
find /home/someuser -type d exec chmod 2750 {} \;
find /home/someuser -type f exec chomd 2640 {} \;
(Might have my syntax on the find command messed up a bit. Make sure to man
that.)
If your users have their webfiles in /home/someuser/public_html, then you only
need to setgid that dir and its subdirs, no the user's homedir.

You can do something like this easily.
Assuming you have access to the Apache config, you can setup Apache
to look in a location other than /home/${USER} for the public_html
directories. Let us call this /web/${USER}. If you create a
directory here for each actual user, and create a user-owned
public_html directory within it, then you can make your symlinks
from the real home directory to this location. Apache can happily
operate on the assumption that ${HOME} for each user is /web/${USER}.
Look for UserDir in the Apache config httpd.conf (for 1.3) or the
httpd-userdir.conf file (for 2.2).
Is there really no better way to do this...?!?
Even easier is to simply set the default umask for your users (say
to 077) in the system-wide shell initialization for your users'
favourite shells.
Then new files will be unreadable, and new directories unbrowsable.
User A will be able to see if B has created a file in their
home dir, but not what is in it, nor anything below the home directory
point.
This is what most systems do -- if people want their items completely
private, they can put them in a sub-dir.
Users can still give away privacy by resetting umask or using chmod,
but they could do that in any case, if you allow more than one account
per machine (or jail).
Cheers,
Andrew.

Since these are webpages they are presumably _meant_ to be read by others. But giving all the users access to files belonging to apache, that might not be desirable? The thing is that the user would need to know that they have to chown and chmod any new file/dir they create in public_html. For the average windows user that would probably be too much to ask for.

I think I'm starting to get a clearer picture here: based on my observation on a test system tap0 appears to go down as soon as a program connects to it and uses it. Ergo, IF this is the case then that solves the second part of my problem. So could this be a composite issue from this and a hidden issue with my re0 device (driver or whatever)? It very well could be. Can you swap in a card under a different driver temporarily to see if the problem goes away? Unfortunately not in this case- its a low profile requirement which don't have a replacement for. At least until I can get to the point where I go through the same process for another m/c with similar hardware. But I'm also kinda waiting to see how well this one works before I move on...

Most commonly for me is because my $PWD (or CWD) is in the filesystem i intend to umount so as a habit now, i move myself to the root partition (when logged in as root) via the following, and assuming I want to umount /usr # umount /usr umount: unmount of /usr failed: Device busy # cd # umount /usr cd, with no arguments, move you to ~ (aka $HOME) --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Determining process preventing umount of busy partition
First of all, I checked both lsof's and fstat's output: NOTHING seems to have a file open in the /usr partition. Very strange. Of course, I've tried the copies of both tools in /root/bin so they don't cause any access on /usr theirselves.

Users' home directories are on /home which is separated from /usr (and can be unmounted without problems). At no time, a $CWD was on /usr partition. so as a habit now, i move myself to the root partition (when logged in as root) via the following, and assuming I want to umount /usr # umount /usr umount: unmount of /usr failed: Device busy # cd # umount /usr cd, with no arguments, move you to ~ (aka $HOME) Which would be /root in case of SUM.
