It appears to be a bug when using nss_ldap with RELENG_7, as I have been
unable to reproduce the issue on machines running 6.2-RELEASE and
6.3-RELEASE, regardless of the version of OpenLDAP. In my environment,
the machines use pam_krb5 for authentication, so the problem is
definitely not related to pam_ldap. Have you filed a problem report?

If I stop pop3 and apache services (the most active of the box), the LA drops to 1~2. Starting only one of them (any one) the LA rise to 20~40. Sugesting that it's not tied to a specific service. I did a test running just pop3 (Qpopper), pointing the mail spool to a empty directory, to make shure that it's not a disk problem. And the LA also goes to sky (~30). The same happens with only apache running pointing to a simple http page. The console shows messages like: ipfw: install_state: Too many dynamic rules net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max: 4096 # (here) Maximum number of dynamic rules. When you hit this limit, no more dynamic rules can be installed until old ones expire. To see which traffic is creating 'too many' dynamic rules, check: # ipfw -ted show | less -S ++G (-td for just active rules, but the expired ones tell useful stories) I know I must review my rules and limit the number of keep-state entries, but a tryed to rise the number of dynamic buckets via sysctl: sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets=2048 But it seems it's not working, since the number of current buckets doesn't pass 256: net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets: 256 But did you remember to flush? :) See ipfw(8) under 'SYSCTL VARIABLES'. You might also want to monitor and/or play with some of the other net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_* sysctls to see what's happening and how many dynamic rules you need with comfortable headroom for your workload/s. For TCP, keepalive and *lifetime timeouts may be relevant. I tend to use stateful rules for outbound UDP, and stateless setup and established rules for TCP services here, but your needs may differ. I tryed to make some OS tuning, from the handbook, like increase the maxcon: kern.ipc.somaxconn: 2048 but nothing seems to work. Other entries in the logs: Feb 12 09:06:20 host1 inetd[1248]: accept (for ftp): Software caused connection abort Feb 12 09:06:20 host1 inetd[1248]: accept (for pop3): Software caused connection abort I need some clues to undestand what is happening.

L’émotion de la raison phénoménologie et sémantique du pathos Conclusion : L’origine de la vérité DESCRIPTION This work is the result of a crossed research between phenomenology and cognitive science concerning the problems of corporality and incarnation of the meaning of the experience itself. The leading idea of our research is that of searching an approach of the signification, of the comprehension and of the truth that would constitute an alternative to both transcendental idealism and reductionist materialism. Our position could be summed up in the formula of phenomenological experiential realism. The syncretism of the approaches is the main methodological characteristic of the book, as it is reflected in the structure of the work: in its first part, focusing on phenomenology, it is taken into consideration the analysis of one’s own body, of the motility and of the sense at authors such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Pato ka, Ricoeur; while in the second part we have shifted to the field of the philosophy of language and cognition, taking interest in a relatively new and still developing trend: cognitive semantics (Lakoff, Johnson, Fauconnier, Turner and – with differences – Eco). We have traced in the notion of embodiment proposed by cognitive linguistics a concept that can interlock the phenomenological notion of one’s own body, and in a larger vision, to Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of the flesh. The fundamental idea that encompasses our project is that of a “corporeal scheme” in the heart of the perceptive, cognitive and linguistic process, which, in its practical and affective interaction with the environment, forms our spirit and gives a cognitive coherence to our experience of the world. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lorenzo Altieri is a PhD in Philosophy of the University Paris IV – Sorbonne and the University of Naples “Federico II”, where he collaborates with the chair of Philosophy of Language. In 2004 he published a monography about the work of Ricoeur: Le Metamorfosi di Narciso. Il Cogito itinerante di Paul Ricoeur (La Città del Sole). He is the author of numerous articles in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. He is secretary of the REM (Réseau Euro-Méditerranéen de phénoménologie pour le dialogue interculturel).

Xorg - Resolution issues
Hi everyone, I got this TV : http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=tvtype=tvsubtype=lcdmodel_cd=LN40A330J1DXZCfullspec=F I'm trying to use it as my screen under FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE with a resolution of 1366x768 which is suposed to be suported by the TV, acording with the TV's specs. I did the same with another very similar TV and it was working #1 without having to create any Xorg.conf, a plain startx and the display was perfect (1366x768). With my new TV, X only start in 1280x720. So I created a config file with Xorg -configure, then I tried to force Xorg to use 1366x768 but it keeps loading in 1280x720. In my Xorg.0.log it looks like there's no support for the resolution I want : [...] (==) Using config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [...] (II) RADEON(0): Panel infos found from DDC detailed: 1280x720 [...] (II) RADEON(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) RADEON(0): clock: 74.2 MHz Image Size: 160 x 90 mm (II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1390 h_sync_end 1430 h_blank_end 1650 h_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): v_active: 720 v_sync: 725 v_sync_end 730 v_blanking: 750 v_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) RADEON(0): clock: 74.2 MHz Image Size: 160 x 90 mm (II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1920 h_sync: 2008 h_sync_end 2052 h_blank_end 2200 h_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): v_active: 540 v_sync: 542 v_sync_end 547 v_blanking: 562 v_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 23 V max: 61 Hz, H min: 26 H max: 68 kHz, PixClock max 150 MHz (II) RADEON(0): Monitor name: SAMSUNG [...] (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 using initial mode 1280x720 [...] This is how i configured my resolution in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf : [...] Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes 1366x768 EndSubSection EndSection [...] My video card is a Radeon HD 3450 and my Xorg version is xorg-7.3_2 Also, the only other resolution supported by the TV according to the log file would be 1920x540...but it's not supported by the TV !

Problems with xf86-video-ati driver (6.10.0)
Florent, I'm ccing you on this so you know about it. On an Intel dual core box running 7.1 RELEASE and Xorg 7.4, the radeon driver drives CPU to 100% and locks up the box. Keyboard and mouse input are ignored, and it's not possible to switch to another tty to escape from the problem. Kill won't kill the process either. You *can* login through ssh and reboot the box to fix the problem (after editing the xorg.conf file first, of course.) Loading the radeon and drm driver through loader.conf did not change any behavior. There are no errors in the Xorg.0.log file, and the process of X startup appears to be perfectly normal. Switching to the vesa driver fixes the problem entirely. The radeon driver can be used, less than optimally, by disabling DRI. Option DRI off I looked at the latest driver at x.org (6.10.99.0), but I didn't see anything in the notes that indicated that this problem might have been fixed. $ uname -a FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 14:37:25 UTC 2009 r...@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 $ dmesg | grep CPU CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz (3391.61-MHz 686-class CPU) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0: ACPI CPU on acpi0 est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized. p4tcc0: CPU Frequency Thermal Control on cpu0 cpu1: ACPI CPU on acpi0 est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized. p4tcc1: CPU Frequency Thermal Control on cpu1 SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched $ kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 1 16 0xc040 97f830 kernel 21 0xc0d8 6fa8 snd_ich.ko 32 0xc0d87000 4a64csound.ko 41 0xc0dd2000 22c98radeon.ko 52 0xc0df5000 10e98drm.ko 61 0xc0e06000 6a2c4acpi.ko 71 0xc765 22000linux.ko 81 0xc7736000 3000 daemon_saver.ko $ pciconf -l hos...@pci0:0:0:0: class=0x06 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27708086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 pc...@pci0:0:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x8086 chip=0x27718086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x01 pc...@pci0:0:28:0: class=0x060400 card=0x chip=0x27d08086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x01 pc...@pci0:0:28:1: class=0x060400 card=0x chip=0x27d28086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x01 uh...@pci0:0:29:0: class=0x0c0300 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27c88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 uh...@pci0:0:29:1: class=0x0c0300 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27c98086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 uh...@pci0:0:29:2: class=0x0c0300 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27ca8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 uh...@pci0:0:29:3: class=0x0c0300 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27cb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 eh...@pci0:0:29:7: class=0x0c0320 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27cc8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 pc...@pci0:0:30:0: class=0x060401 card=0x chip=0x244e8086 rev=0xe1 hdr=0x01 p...@pci0:0:30:2: class=0x040100 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27de8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 is...@pci0:0:31:0: class=0x060100 card=0x chip=0x27b88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 atap...@pci0:0:31:1:class=0x01018a card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27df8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 atap...@pci0:0:31:2:class=0x01018f card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27c08086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 no...@pci0:0:31:3: class=0x0c0500 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x27da8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vgap...@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x0b021002 chip=0x5b621002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vgap...@pci0:1:0:1: class=0x038000 card=0x0b031002 chip=0x5b721002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 b...@pci0:2:0:0:class=0x02 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x167714e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 less /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section ServerLayout Identifier X.org Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection Section Files ModulePath /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/URW/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/ EndSection Section Module Load GLcore Load xtrap EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 EndSection Section Monitor Identifier Monitor0 VendorName DELL ModelName1905FP EndSection Section Device Identifier Card0 Driver radeon VendorName ATI Technologies Inc BoardName RV380 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)] BusID PCI:1:0:0 Option DRI off EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 DefaultDepth24 SubSection

I have it configured the same as my 7.0 computer (which works fine) but when I try to run a command I get the following response: rsh u0610 ls rshd: Login incorrect.

Re: Xorg - Resolution issues
Polytropon a écrit : Maybe you can try Option PreferredMode 1366x768 in section Monitor? If it doesn't work, there's always an option to use xrandr via ~/.xinitrc: xrandr --size 1366x768 xrandr --fb 1366x768 I have a similar issue with the ati driver, using an ATI Radeon 9200 (RV250) which I need to force to 1400x1050 (worked with old XFree86 and the setting in the config file, as you mentioned it). The autodetection of the screen (21 CRT) leads to stupid values that are completely unusable. xrandr in my ~/.xinitrc solved my problem ! Thanks a lot !

The Makefile says:

So I'll bet some money that it's docbook.
Does it improve if you add these to /etc/make.conf:

I notice the OP is using inkscape -- I can't see an easy way of inputting Greek characters from the keyboard with that app, and there isn't a handy character chooser like there is in openoffice. However Gentium does come with some handy proof sheets of all of the Greek and Roman glyphs provided by the font in: /usr/local/share/doc/gentium/Gentium-Greek-Specimen.pdf You can cut'n'paste from there.

Using, or trying, to install anything on 4.x anymore is a gamble. You should upgrade.

Re: Upgrading gcc on FreeBSD 4.11
Thanks Tim! I'm aware that 4.x has been EOL'd for a long time. This particular machine is tracking RELENG_4_11. Of course I'd love to upgrade, but I have no physical access. I've researched the potential paths from 4.11 to 5.x to 6.x, and while there are some success stories, there are horror stories as well. I'm not confident enough to attempt it remotely. I can get IPKVM, but this is a personal machine without any sort of HA requirements. It's not worth the hassle or expense to build out a new box and restore the backups until the current hardware fails. FWIW: The reason I was wanting to upgrade gcc was to get the /usr/ports/net-mgmt/darkstat package installed. Trying to install it on 4.11 gave me an error that stdint.h didn't exist. Since my original post, I have found a viable workaround, by symlinking inttypes.h to stdint.h. I appreciate your quick answer, and for anyone else following this thread, I no longer have a need to upgrade gcc. Sage, if you will. Thanks again, Tim!

I'm wondering if there are any risks involved in going from gcc 2.95 to, say, 3.4.6. Typically I'm happy to pull the latest stable of just about anything, but the compiler is a different story. Thanks, Shaun FreeBSD 4.x has not been supported for ports for a long time. Ports are guaranteed to work for the current releases of freebsd and -CURRENT only. Using, or trying, to install anything on 4.x anymore is a gamble. You should upgrade. There was a tag you used to be able to use for 4.x port installs, but I bet that tag hasn't been updated in forever... tag=RELEASE_4_11_0 see: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/schedule.html dated Jan/8/2005 With the above tag, and an updated ports tree, i can recommend installing packages (if the tarballs are still on the internet). Without that tag, i don't recommend it. ___ 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
