GEOM issue -- making changes to slices/partitions on used disk
This happened on a FreeBSD 6.0 machine. Installed a SCSI drive on the machine -- drive had been used for testing previously and had an ext2 FS on it. I was able to use the sysinstall fdisk utility to remove the ext2fs partition and create a FreeBSD slice that utilized the entire disk. Then I loaded up the sysinstall disklabel utility, setup my partitions and when I went to write my changes, recieved an error about being unable to mount these new partitions -- said mount point did not exist. I decided I'd just try it again, so I exited sysinstall and restarted it. In the disklabel tool, I added only a swap partition. Swap partition was created without a problem. Exited sysinstall, restarted it to add the other new partitions. I could not write anything, however, as whenever I attempted to do so, I got the error message ERROR: Unable to write data to disk da1. I decided I'd remove the slice and start fresh, however when I attempted to write this change, I again got an error message stating that data could not be written. At this point I did some research, and it seems that the issue is related to GEOM not allowing alteration of MBR/slices/partitions on used devices, and that the solution is to set sysctl knob kern.geom.debugflags=16 (Found it on this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/e7db21985d1b1cc3/3113b6502c5450ef?lnk=stq=freebsd+sysinstall+fdisk+ERROR%3A+Unable+to+write+data+to+diskrnum=4hl=en#3113b6502c5450ef) Also on this thread is a word of caution, stating that use of this sysctl knob has been known to result in dev entries getting confused and blowing away the wrong partition -- which would obviously be quite undesirable. This seems like a rather clunky solution, and the posts in the cited thread are two years old, so I am wondering if there's another way to go now, or if the bugs are now worked out and it's safe to use this sysctl knob. One more thing to note: the posts in the thread mention 5.x specifically, but the behavior certainly seems to match that encountered on my 6.0 box. Any thoughts or input are quite appreciated!

DNSBL - including descriptive text in sendmail error message
I am configuring a mail server to make use of the DNS-based black lists supplied by spamhaus.org, and have run into a bit of a snag. I'm running sendmail 8.12.11, and have successfully configured the 'dnsbl' feature to reject mail from hosts in the black lists, but spamhaus.org has requested that MTA error messages contain the descriptive text corresponding to the blacklisted host (e.g. http://www.spamhaus.org/SBL/sbl.lasso?query=SBL14030;). I've checked sendmail docs for information on how to do this, and come up with nothing. I've also looked for the information on the spamhaus site itself, but to no avail. Likewise for Google searches. The black lists themselves are quite helpful, and so I would like to be in compliance with spamhaus' request. Any clues would be much appreciated. BTW, I hope it's not inappropriate to have posted this to both -isp and -questions. Please let me know if I should not have done so.

dumps freeze when invoked by amanda's 'sendbackup'
Hello, I've found some strange behavior on one of our FreeBSD 2.2.2 machines, and am hoping that someone here may be able to shed some light on it for us. As mentioned, the machine is running FreeBSD 2.2.2 and AMANDA 2.4.0. A while back, we noticed that dumps of the machines '/usr' partition seemed to freeze as soon as they were started; the 'dump' processes appeared in 'ps' output, but they stayed there all day long (our backups typically finish by around 10:00 AM at the latest). At the same time, dmesg showed us hard errors reading from /dev/sd0s1g (the partion holding /usr). We eventually killed the dumps. As a test, we then tried a manual dump. I was able to successfully dump that same file system over the network to a drive on another machine. It seemed wierd that a manual dump went fine, but that the dumps spawned by 'sendbackup' did not go at all. However, as I mentioned, we'd seen that drive error, so we removed all of that machine's sd0 partitions from amanda's disklist (system has two other drives, and backups went fine for them) until we could get the drive replaced, which we did last night. Replacement of drive went just fine, and once we'd verified everything was up and running properly, I edited the disklist file and re-enabled backups of the machine's '/usr'. I got in this morning and found that again, the dumps are frozen. 'dmesg' shows nothing except the boot-up messages. I'm rather frustrated at this point, trying to understand how this could be happening. I have checked permissions on the device files, and 'bin', the user amanda runs as on that machine, is a member of the operator group, which has read access to the device files, so it doesn't seem a permissions problem. I doubt it's a drive problem, because the same behavior on two different drives by two different manufacturers? I suppose it's possible, but it seems unlikely. I should mention as well that all drives on system are SCSI 2 50 pin format, under the control of an Adaptec 2940 controller card. So if it's not permissions, and not the drive (although I realize that I haven't really ruled either of these entirely out) then might it be the controller? But if it's the controller, why no problems with other drives in system? Any thoughts would be most welcome. -John -- +---+ | John Fox jjf @ mind.net |System Administrator | InfoStructure | +---+ | I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth | | But now I've seen the payoffs everywhere I look | | Who can you trust when everyone's a crook?| | -- Queensryche, Revolution Calling | +---+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Viability of 5.X line for production use
Hello, We're planning some new mail servers, and until now I've been assuming that they would run under FreeBSD 4.X. But it occurred to me this morning that the 4.X line is going to go away relatively soon, and that perhaps I'd be better off going with 5.X for these new boxen, as it would probably simplify the upgrade (keeping up with releases and bug fixes) process. So I'm wondering -- do the experts here judge 5.X as ready for use in a production environment, or would that be asking for trouble?

kernel option to increase max open files
Hi, folks. I've got a 2.2.2 machine which I can't currently upgrade, due to funding issues. This machine handles a lot of mail, and I am lately finding dmesg output to be full of file: table is full messages, and entries like these in the sendmail log: SYSERR(UID0): readqf: cannot open dfAAA29006: Too many open files in \ system SYSERR(UID0): Cannot open hash database /etc/aliases: Too many open \ files in system So I figure I need to increase the max number of open files available. I've looked around, and it appears I have two different options: 1) Kernel option options OPEN_MAX=### which sets the max number of open files per user (which would be 'root' in this case, as that's who sendmail runs as). 2) a login.conf class setting assigned to root. The 'openfiles' setting seems somewhat equivalent to the OPEN_MAX option. However, I am not certain that limits set in login.conf apply to a process being run by a user that didn't log in (sendmail being started by init at boot, rather than from root's login session). I welcome any thoughts/advice on this matter, as I don't want to try either of these changes without having done due diligence.

max IDE drive capacity supported in 2.2.2 release
Hello to all, I am trying to determine the maximum (IDE) drive capacity supported by FreeBSD 2.2.2. I have carefully read the release notes for 2.0 and 2.2.2 and seen no mention of this datum. At this point, I'm theorizing that there the only such limit has to do with the limitations of what the BIOS will support.

difficulties replacing bad libssl.so.3 with newly build libssl.so.3
Hello, all. I've got a machine running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, and I need to upgrade it to fix the SSL, procfs issues that have come up lately. The machine's root partition lacks the space to accomodate world source and object files, so I have two symlinks for /usr/src and /usr/obj: /usr/src -- /usr/local/world_src /usr/obj -- /usr/local/world_obj I cvsupped RELENG_4_8 and it was all placed under /usr/local/world_src as I'd expected, and cd'ing into '/usr/src' I can see the same stuff as if I'd cd'd into /usr/local/world_src. No surprises there. (In the supfile, I have *default prefix=/usr. Dunno if that applies to this discussion.) I cd'd to /usr/src and issued the buildworld command. The build ran for a while and then finished. I took a look at the contents of '/usr/obj' (aka /usr/local/world_obj) and saw a directory hierarchy that matched my '/usr/local/world_src' path: [vmail:/usr/local/etc]$ ls -lR /usr/obj/|head -n 14 total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Oct 8 13:38 usr/ /usr/obj/usr: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Oct 8 13:38 local/ /usr/obj/usr/local: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 512 Oct 8 13:42 world_src/ /usr/obj/usr/local/world_src: total 64 drwxr-xr-x 32 root wheel 512 Oct 8 13:41 bin/ This struck me as wierd, but I figure it's the way it ought to be, so I moved on. One of my aims was to replace libssl.so.3 with a fixed version, so (after making a backup copy of the current /usr/lib/libssl.so.3) I placed /usr/obj/usr/local/world_src/secure/lib/libssl/libssl.so.3 into /usr/lib and then attempted an https connection to the server. (Apache's mod_ssl was dynamically linked against libssl.so.3). I found that my connection did not really work properly, creating errors such as these in the httpd error log: [Wed Oct 8 16:01:04 2003] [error] [client W.X.Y.Z] Invalid method in request \x80C\x01\x03 [Wed Oct 8 16:02:48 2003] [error] [client W.X.Y.Z] Invalid method in request \x16\x03 [Wed Oct 8 16:02:48 2003] [error] [client W.X.Y.Z] Invalid method in request \x16\x03 Clearly, I did something wrong, for when I replaced the prior libssl.so.3, my errors went away. I'm trying to understand now if the root problem is: 1) My '/usr/src' and '/usr/obj' symlinks. I can't see them being the problem, but I want leave no stone unturned. 2) Incorrect technique used to replace the libssl.so.3 library. (I am leery of running 'installworld' on this machine, as it is a production system, and I've never built the world on a production machine.) 3) Something else entirely. Any clues or pointers as to the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.

vinum crashed disk error
Hello, Three IDE drives multiplexed together to make one large partition (for mounting as /usr/local). We were messing with hardware in the box and when we rebooted vinum spat out errors about defective objects and the boot came to a halt. We figured we had left something loose or unplugged on the motherboard, so we shut it down and took a look. Sure enough, the plug in the mobo's secondary IDE channel was loose, so we reseated it and powered the machine up again. We saw that the kernel found all the IDE drives and figured the problem was over. But vinum had the same problem. It said (loose quotation): /dev/ mounted read-only. vinum config not being rebuilt. And then spit out the same errors it had the first time. Unfortunately, the vinum.org domain is having problems of some sort, and the vinum help pages on lemis.com are redirected to the vinum.org site, so I am deprived of a great trouble-shooting resource. System is 4.8-STABLE. Below you will see the output of 'vinum start'. Any suggestions as to fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated, as we do make production use of this box.

Free Block Count Not Updating Until After Reboot
Hello, all. I am running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #27 and have run into some strange behavior with the SCSI drive. The adaptor is an Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 adaptater, and the drive is a Seagate ST336607LW SCSI-3 device. Problem is that I can rm a 4GB file and afterwards, the free block count won't reflect the erasure. Instead, it displays the same count it showed prior to the 'rm'. The free block count won't be updated until I reboot the system. I checked LINT, and found that the 29160 isn't supported. Only 154x, 274x/284x/294x, and 152x are mentioned there. It's probably a no-brainer at this point, but I want to be sure: could this be the cause of the OS not seeing/showing the updated free block count until after the reboot?

Slightly OT, OSX, terminals key combinations
Hi I use a MacOS X workstation to connect to my FreeBSD box where I use Pine to compose these emails. Apparently the Terminal program in MacOS X intercepts ctrl+o combinations which are used to postpone messages in Pine. Thus, when I use the key combination ctrl+o it never reaches the remote machine (or at least it doesn't appear to, but it doesn't appear to do anything at all on either machine.) Can anyone advise me on what I can use to change this?

Re: Slightly OT, OSX, terminals key combinations
Hi, Thanks for the response. Perhaps it is some other problem, but it is only manifest in Terminal. I have no problem with this using BetterTelnet in emulation. Any advice on how to troubleshoot it?

Re: Tomcat's dogging me...
Hi, Well, on further inspection, I have this which is posing as libc.so.6: test_server# ls -l /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Jan 31 15:48 /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6 - libc-2.2.4.so Rich. The catch is libc.so.6 is on the system. The mod_jk that I got was the binary, and I got it as binary on the recommendation of the documentation on jakarta.apache.org. It's my guess, that the binary doesn't know where to look for the shared object. Run 'ldconfig -r' to get the current list of cached shared objects. If libc.so.6 isn't there, then you've got your explanation. However, there is a bigger problem -- where the heck did you get libc.so.6 from? FreeBSD doesn't have one of these -- FreeBSD 4.x has libc.so.4 and FreeBSD 5.x has libc.so.5. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Setting up a FreeBSD Gateway question
Hi, This is a pretty common procedure and is documented in the freebsd handbook. Please see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/natd.html Beware the ipfw default to allow settings. I think there are also some tutorials out on the 'net. You will likely want to alter the inetd.conf file in /etc for enabling ssh and disabling whatever other features you don't want. You can also run ssh as a dedicated process. You can find more information about inetd in the handboox as well.

Hi, Okay well I sorted out part of it anyways. The package /usr/ports/mod_jk/ that is in the FreeBSD 4.7 is not compatible with Apache 2.0. --well, or maybe it is, but it will not compile without some of the src files from the apache1.3 distribution, specifically, util_date.h and possibly http_conf_globals.h Rich. | Rich Fox | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 86 Nobska Road | Woods Hole, MA 02543 | MA 508 548 4358 | VA 703 201 6050 On Sat, 1 Feb 2003, Rich Fox wrote: Hi, Okay, after many hours I have tomcat installed and I can connect to it's webserver.

JDK, Tomcat, + argh!
Hi, I have been trying to build and install the www/jakarta-tomcat41 package. As you may know, you must download the file jdk1_2_2-src.tar.gz from Sun only. The only problem is, they don't seem to have it on their site. All of the documentation I have read indicates that I need to NOT download the linux, but the alternatives are Solaris, Solaris SPARC, and Windows. Surely it's not one of those?! I did manage to find a copy of the jdk1_2_2-src.tar.gz on a server in Taiwan, but the checksums don't match and naturally it raises lots of warning flags in my mind. This is making me crazy! Can anyone tell me where I can get a trusted copy of this silly file from?

Re: A twisted home network
Hi,
let's see here... (You should probably wait to get at least two responses
since I am not feeling real confident about my description here... if they
jive you're alright...)
INET }--{ DLINK Thingie }--{ FBSD BOX }--{ Internal net
Basically, the Dlink is going to get it's outside IP from whatever, be it
DHCP, etc.
The Inside will also have an IP address which I believe you said will be
192.168.0.1, right?
Okay, now the freebsd box...
Set the DLINK NIC (the NIC connecting to the DLINK box) to be
192.168.0.n where n is not the same as the DLINK.
Set the default gateway for the DLINK NIC to be the DLINK Inside address.
(Mine is using DHCP so I don't have a default_gateway setting in my
rc.conf but if I remember from my DSL dialup days, you do set it)
Set the inside NIC to be something different, say 10.0.0.1
set gateway_enable to YES (which I think you already did)
for natd, set the natd_interface to be the DLINK NIC.
(On mine I conveniently have the external nic is xl1 and the inside is xl0
so mine looks like this:
gateway_enable=YES
ifconfig_xl0=inet 192.168.1.18 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_xl1=DHCP
[snip]
natd_enable=YES
natd_interface=xl1
natd_flags=-l -f /etc/natd.conf
Now set all of your internal boxes to something matching the 10.0.0.n
phrase where n is not the same as the inside NIC on your FreeBSD box.
Okay, I think I can summarize this coherently...
On the FreeBSD box, the two NICs sort of know about each other.
You configure them independently, and slightly differently.
On the NIC that goes to the outside, you set the default gateway
explicitly. In the Inside NIC, you tell natd essentially what the default
gateway is and natd handles the packets.
(My natd.conf contains redirect directives mostly, I don't think it's
usually necessary.)
Rich.

There's plenty of information on how to install two network cards (done
that), how to enable a FreeBSD box to run as a gateway, do NAT, DHCP, etc.
However, I'm having a mental block with how the cards should be configured.
Here's how I want my network setup-
CABLE MODEM- D-link DI-701 Residential Gateway-
FreeBSD NIC dc0 - FreeBSD NIC ep1 - hub - other computers...
I'd like to leave the D-Link in place, since it has a built-in firewall and
I'm not ready to start testing out my rules for ipfw. The D-Link assigns
IP addresses Dynamically, or I can specify them statically. By default,
the D-link has an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the IP pool goes up from
there.
Where I get confused is how configure my network cards. Do I need a new IP
prefix for the inner network? If the FreeBSD is a gateway, technically
each NIC is connected to a different subnet, right? The card that will
connect to the hub will need a Static IP address, since nothing is there to
give an IP address. Does each NIC know of the other, or are the routing
tables separate?
This seems like a simple problem, but I've been scouring the handbook,
freebsd diary, and the man pages, but I can't find any good examples.
Thanks a bunch!
