Try removing the local_startup line from the rc.conf. It is already defined in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf so it is not needed. I am wondering if this is causing something in rc confusion.

Re: Limiting apache's upload speed?
Patsy wrote: Hello list, I am running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE (GENERIC), I am running Apache 2.2.6_2 and hosting a small website with a few relatively small (500kB-900kB) photographs. I am doing so from a home ADSL connection in the UK and so I am estimating my upload capacity at 500kb/s. When I have apache enabled and serving the web page it seems to disrupt my other network programs - on my main computer (running Debian etch) Wengophone stutters and my browser slows down noticeably. When apache is disabled these problems disappear. I do not wish to take my website down and so I was hoping somebody would be able to tell me if it is possible to throttle apache's upload speed. It seems that this would provide a good solution - people will need to wait a little longer to see my page, but a change of waiting 3 seconds to waiting 6 seconds isn't terrible. My router does not appear to have the option to throttle individual hosts/ports. Any advice on the matter would be appreciated. I would suggest you look into PF + ALTQ. ALTQ is a rule based bandwidth control for PF which would allow you to adjust how much bandwidth you allow on the port 80. You will need to enable ALTQ in your kernel as it does not come enabled by default. See pf.conf(5) and altq(4)for more details.

FreeBSD 6.2 + my gensnmptree issue
I am having an issue which is most likely my lack of understanding and not a problem with 6.2 itself. The system is running 6.2-RELEASE and I use bsnmpd. Here is the uname output. FreeBSD lucky.orisit 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 10 10:40:51 EDT 2007 What I am trying to do is get bsnmp to respond to new MIBs, specifically UCD-SNMP-MIB. After reading the manpages for bsnmp and gensnmptree I believe gensnmptree is the command I need to use. This is where I get into trouble. The gensnmptree command doesn't give me any results no matter what I do. Even using a bug report example of gensnmptree -e sysName gives me no results. So I proceeded to do some more google searching and noticed gensnmpdef was referenced several times as the program which may be what I need to use. I found the code for this in /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmpdef without a makefile. There is no gensnmpdef in /usr/sbin on the system but it is in the /usr/ports/net-mgt/bsnmpd/pkg-plist. So I guess I need some guidance. Can I use gensnmptree to get this MIB into the bsnmp system? If so how is this done? -or- Is there a problem with the 6.2 release for gensnmpdef and that is in fact the program I am suppose to be using? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Well, yes that would be the tool, but things are more complicated. BSNMP uses a special file format (the .def files) to automatically create some tables and #defines when you implement a MIB. If you invent your own MIB, you normally write the .def file from scratch. It basically contains the same info as the MIB file, but in a less baroque and more machine-parsable format. If you're going to implement a MIB for which you already have a MIB file you can shorten the time to write the .def file by feeding the MIB file into gensnmpdef. It will create you an initial .def file, which, in most cases, you have to edit, though. But having the .def file is only the start of implementing. Because then you must write the action routines that actually implement the MIB behaviour. You might look under /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/snmp_mibII. Here you find an example .def file the contents of which you might find familiar. The .c files there implement the semantic of the standard MIB-2. gensnmpdef is not built automatically, because it requires libsmi which you need to install from ports. This explains much about what I was confused with. Thank you for the quick response. It was fairly simple to get the port installed and get /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmpdef compiled and installed. From there I went and built my ucd_tree.def file using gensnmpdef which I had to edit as you said. I see after doing this and looking into the examples you suggested this would be a bit more involved then I initially thought. I was able to generate some .c/.h files using gensnmptree but from there the legwork goes beyond me a bit. Looks like I have to look into this deeper. I do have one remaining question. How is the gensnmptree -l command used exactly? Something like cat ucd_tree.c | gensnmptree -l ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: identifying hardware for kernel config purposes
Glenn Becker wrote: Hi - I am following along in the Handbook in my first attempt to compile a custom kernel ... and once again confronting the fact that I really know beans about hardware. So once I get to the device lines in my edited copy of the GENERIC config file I start to get a little bit lost. I know enough to look through /var/run/dmesg.boot, and many devices make themselves obvious (a DVD-ROM drive is a DVD-ROM drive is a ...) but how do I identify my motherboard, for example, so I know which lines to comment out (or conversely, leave in) in the kernel config file? There are a couple places that have good comments on what each device is. GENERIC kernel itself is very descriptive, for example for your keyboard: --- snip --- # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse --- end sip --- Also read over NOTES it has a lot of architecture specific notes. You should also read over /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES for even more kernel options. If there is a good overall guide to info like this, I'd appreciate it if someone would point it out to me. :^) I also get lost in the alphabet soup of ATA, PCI, SCSI and so on. You will need to do some reading into these devices in some cases if you are planing of customizing the kernel. dmesg will show you everything the system detects, even if it doesn't have a driver. It is upto you from that point to figure out what device driver (if there is one) your kernel is missing for the hardware and add it. Thanks in advance for any guidance. I didn't want to attach my whole dmesg.boot file but will do so if that will help. Best, Glenn Oh and another piece of advice, read up in the handbook on recovering from a kernel that will not boot.

The long version :-) Here is a section from my dmesg: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 Security auditing service present BSM auditing present ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 2 ioapic1: Changing APIC ID to 3 ioapic0 Version 2.0 irqs 0-23 on motherboard ioapic1 Version 2.0 irqs 24-47 on motherboard kbd1 at kbdmux0 ath_hal: 0.9.17.2 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) acpi0: A M I OEMRSDT on motherboard acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi0: Power Button (fixed) acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR Timecounter ACPI-fast frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: 24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz port 0x808-0x80b on acpi0 cpu0: ACPI CPU on acpi0 acpi_throttle0: ACPI CPU Throttling on cpu0 cpu1: ACPI CPU on acpi0 pcib0: ACPI Host-PCI bridge port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: ACPI PCI bus on pcib0 pcib1: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge irq 16 at device 28.0 on pci0 pci1: ACPI PCI bus on pcib1 pcib2: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge at device 0.0 on pci1 pci2: ACPI PCI bus on pcib2 aacu0: Adaptec SCSI RAID 2130S mem 0xfc60-0xfc7f,0xfc5ff000-0xfc5f irq 24 at device 1.0 on pci2 aacu0: New comm. interface enabled aacu0: Adaptec Raid Controller 2.0.7-1 aacpu0: SCSI Passthrough Bus on aacu0 ahd0: Adaptec AIC7901 Ultra320 SCSI adapter port 0xa800-0xa8ff,0xa400-0xa4ff mem 0xfc5fc000-0xfc5fdfff irq 26 at device 3.0 on p ci2 ahd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] aic7901: Ultra320 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, PCI-X 67-100Mhz, 512 SCBs pcib3: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge irq 16 at device 28.4 on pci0 pci3: ACPI PCI bus on pcib3 Here is some output from pciconf -lv: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:28:0:class=0x060400 card=0x0040 chip=0x27d08086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Root Port' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:28:4:class=0x060400 card=0x0040 chip=0x27e08086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801GR/GH/GHM (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Root Port' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:28:5:class=0x060400 card=0x0040 chip=0x27e28086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801GR/GH/GHM (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Root Port' class= bridge Thanks for the time, Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Samba 3.x.x on FreeBSD 4.9
I have tried various versions of Samba 3.x.x on my FreeBSD 4.9 server without success. (Including the current port) The install goes smoothly however running testparm I encounter the following errors... ** Error trying to resolve symbol 'init_module' in /usr/lib/charset/CP850.so: Cannot open /usr/lib/charset/US-ASCII.so' Conversion from UCS-2LE to CP850 not supported ** This error repeats about 3 times for conversions. US-ASCII.so does not exist at all on the server. I have updated libiconv to 1.9.2 was running 1.8.x before without success. How do I resolve this issue? I am running out of idea's on what I can do to fix this issue. Thanks Jeff Royle --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
