re: FreeBSD is Very slow to load some sites
Hey Andrew, If you suspect it is your DNS, just put the IP address of your site in the browser: 202.2.59.40 or 202.2.56.40 and see if the same thing happens. But like someone else noticed, it might be page related (java etc) that the Linux browser is having problems with. Regards!

re: caching nameserver
Check the DJBDNS author's site: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html The instructions are simple. If there is a lot of name resolutions happening on the web server itself, install dnscache on the localhost.

Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver

Yes, you can type "named_enable" in rc.conf and be done with it, just don't forget to periodically check the security updates web page for BIND exploits. Regards!

re: Wierd time changes
Hi Mark and list members, I am experiencing the same problem on my dual PII-450 SP700 Compaq Pro workstation. After poking around on Google, it is pointing to the FreeBSD and a i8254 programmable interupt timer. In my case the time is lagging behind 10 times! What does your: #time sleep 10 show? It takes 25 seconds on my SMP workstation to execute a 10 second delay. I have modified the /etc/sysctl.conf and added: kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 ntpd couldn't cope with this problem on my server. I have to run ntpdate every 10 minutes to set the time to an approximately accepted value :-(. There used to be a problem on older releases of FreeBSD (4.2 and up) related to a SMP kernel and clock. Someone posted a hack fix of the: usr/src/sys/i386/isa/clock.c file. But apparently it has been fixed in newer releases and does not get mentioned in 5.x. The most common fix I've heard from people is to recompile the kernel and exclude the SMP support. But if this is the case, I'd be switching to a mono CPU support of OpenBSD to run it. One of the reasons I like FreeBSD is its SMP support. People, any ideas? dmesg part: MPTable: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 uname -a: FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 11 04:21:45 GMT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Thanks and regards! Denis >>> I'm completely baffled by this one. When FreeBSD shuts down/reboots it changes the system clock. It *always* sets the hours to 20 and changes the minutes and seconds (but I haven't worked out a pattern for that), but the date stays the same (see /var/log/messages below) although I once saw it keep the time and date correct, but set the year back *four* years(!) but that was when the correct time was 22:mm:ss. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Wierd time changes
Hi Mark, Ok, I have recompiled my kernel and excluded the support for SMP and ACPI. All my weird problems with slow time have disappeared. The kernel time stays dead on along with the ntpd. The uptime shows the correct amount of days. It was funny to see after 3 days that the machine had been up for 1 day. My dmesg shows a new line now (TSC): Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 Timecounter "TSC" frequency 448945381 Hz quality 800 -su-2.05b# uname -a FreeBSD mta2 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 #0: Mon Mar 8 16:28:46 PST 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DRKERNEL i386 If you install 4.9, my bet is that you will have the same problem with your SMP motherboard. Try this in your /boot/device.hints hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" Let us know. If this is not a production machine, just out of curiosity, recompile the kernel without SMP and take a note if the time jumps at reboot again. This experiment will take less time than the complete reinstall with 4.9. Regards! Denis >> To follow up: Based on your comments Denis, I tried the kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 workround - didn't work. I also spun a UP kernel - that didn't work either. Confirms that it is something specific to my machine (or the Asus A7M266-D m/b and BIOS). Where does FreeBSD store the corrupted time across reboots though and, more importantly, why? I don't know where to go from here. I do have an old IDE drive lying around so I guess I could put 4.9 on that and see if the problem exists there as well.

re: SOLVED :-) Re: Wierd time changes
Hi Mark! Gee, who would have thought that it was the keyboard. Thanks for your ideas. I recompiled the kernel (Compaq SP700 dual PII-450) following the NOTES guidelines and your email, with these enabled: # To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel device apic# I/O APIC options NO_MIXED_MODE options BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET options EISA_SLOTS=12 and in /boot/loader.conf kern.timecounter.method=1 I still got the broken time (10 second test lasts 22 seconds). The server also hung upon the 'reboot' command while releasing the CPU1. Since it is a production server, I switched back to my single CPU kernel. If you have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate the input. Thanks, Denis >>> I've solved it and I bet you can't guess what it was - it was the fscking keyboard!!! After spending the last 8 hours building kernels (about 20) with unnecessary stuff removed and trying various options documented in /sys/i386/conf/NOTES I finally nailed it down.

re: squid and it's config, a question
Bob, Since it is a gateway/proxy/firewall, you will be running some firewall rules. Use 'netstat -a' command, and check which ports are in Listen stage. Or use 'lsof | grep Listen' command. After that you will need to add a firewall rule to _not_ allow incoming connections to the Squid's listening port on your external NIC. It will be a good safety measure, in case you change the squid's config file and will forget to properly assign the listening port. I am running Squid on 5.2.1 FreeBSD with Squidguard/Dansguardian to keep my kid away from bad sites. It works great. Here is a little right-up (it is in Russian, but all config files are in English): http://www.opennet.ru/docs/RUS/squid_filter/squidguard.html (just be patient, the site is slow) Regards, Denis > Here the squid server will be IP 10.1.1.5 255.0.0.0. I have no references to localhost as 127.0.0.1r, and no references to the external IP in this file anywhere.

re: Hardware problems or Software problems
Luke, I know that would be coincidental, but you know what your running CPU temp is (check your BIOS)? OS freeze-ups sometimes occur due to inadequate cooling of the CPU. Also maybe your computer is close to a heat source? Are you using the same computer case? What is your power supply rated at? Do you have a Radeon video card with its own power connector?

6.1RC2 regression and a BIG question.
Hello. This is first time I write to you, so I beg you pardon if something goes wrong. We bought HP Proliant DL 320 G4. I tried to install FreeBSD and all the attempts failed. 5.4 cannot see my SATA Raid controller and says that I have no hard disks. 6.1RC2 told me the same. But 6.0i386 && 6.0amd64 was installed successfully but server hang up on loggin in (when i see a login message I cannot type anything my keyboard doesn`t respond at all (except Num, Scroll and Caps Lock)) but I see that if I push the power button I get a lot of messages shutting down the system (as if I typed CTRL+ALT+DEL) acpi is surelly on. Safe Mode and so on didn help except single user mode. But I don`t know what to do in single mode to bring the whole system up. If you can suggest anything I will humbly thank you. Brief: 6.0 recognizes Intel 82808FR SATA controller with 2 Maxtor SATA drives, 6.1RC2 didn do that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
