Perl and OpenWebMail question...

2003-11-07 Thread Peter Elsner
Hi list...

I've been using OpenWebMail with Perl 5.8.0 for some time now.  Recently 
updated ports
using port upgrade, and now my Perl version is 5.8.1.

chuck:root # perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.1 built for i386-freebsd

--snip--

chuck:root #

After that, OpenWebMail stopped working... I noticed also that my 
portupgrade updated
OpenWebMail as well, (it was 2.10 and is now 2.20).  Okay, I thought no 
problem, I'll
just do a "make deinstall" and "make reinstall".   But it fails with the 
following error message
each and every time...

...

===>   openwebmail-2.20 depends on file:

So the first few dependent modules are found in the correct locations

But register.pm and vars.pm are being located in 5.8.0

I thought that since I'm no longer using 5.8.0, it shouldn't be looking 
there, it
should be looking in 5.8.1   But it's not.

Does anyone have any idea's as to why this is doing this?  And how I can
go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance..

Peter Elsner

Oh by the way, I'm running 4.9-STABLE #7.

Weird Problem...

2003-11-19 Thread Peter Elsner
Okay, I have a really weird problem.

Running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE (just installed it from CD).

It's a basic gateway setup with 2 NIC cards.
I've done this set up a hundred times and have never seen this before.
DSL modem (with static IP address) goes into one NIC card (dc0).
Status is active, and from the gateway box, I can ping out to the world.
Second NIC (dc1) is connected to a hub, with internal IP 192.168.0.1.

DHCP is running and assigning IP addresses to workstations.

Workstation is WinXP Professional, and it is set to obtain IP and DNS 
automatically.
This works, I do get an IP address of 192.168.0.240 (the dhcp range is 50 
to 240).
I have DNS, if I look at network settings, the DNS IP addresses contained 
in the /etc/resolv.conf
and the dhcpd.conf file from the server are there.

From the workstation (a dos prompt), I can connect to the server at 
192.168.0.1 and I can ping the server.
Which means I have a connection.

But I can't ping the outside world or connect anywhere else to the outside 
from the workstation.
I have tried both by host name and IP addresses, so DNS issues can be ruled 
out.

Also, from the server, I can ping the workstation, (192.168.0.240) and it 
responds...

tracert yahoo.com (from dos prompt), goes to the server 192.168.0.1 and 
then says it
can not go any further.  Almost like the DSL modem is preventing from 
anything going out,
unless it comes directly from the server.

Right now, I can only connect up to 4 workstations to a Netopia 4 port DSL 
router.

But I have 2 other workstations to connect, and can't do that until I can 
get this issue
resolved.

Has anyone ever seen this problem before?

Thanks.

Peter Elsner

Kevin,

Yes, gateway_enable="YES" is in my rc.conf file.

That's the first thing I checked :)

Here is my rc.conf file...

defaultrouter="??.??.??.??"## Note: I do have a valid IP here...
gateway_enable="YES"
hostname="gateway.gh.com"
ifconfig_dc0="inet ??.??.??.??  netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_dc1="inet 192.168.0.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"
inetd_enable="YES"
ntpdate_enable="YES"

Thanks for your input.

Do you have

gateway_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf?  IIRC, FBSD needs to be
instructed that's it's supposed to be
bridging the two interfaces...
Handbook chapter 19.2 is probably
one place you need to look.

Thanks, that's my next attempt.  I don't have NAT running right now,
but didn't think it was required unless I have the firewall enabled.
I usually enable that after I get everything else up and running.

If you can't get out side of the lan, what comes to mind is that you are not
running nat on the gateway or do not have the gateway set on the windows 
box...

Sirs,

I hope this is the place I can ask a question.

I'm trying to setup FreeBSD on a machine.  It wouldn't even boot from CD 
to install because of a network card error.  I bought another network card 
(Netgear model FA311) and it seemed to work.  At least I was able to 
install FreeBSD.  Upon further inspection, after installation and re-boot, 
I noticed that this card was also getting and error.  The following three 
lines are what I get:

sis0:  at device 13.0 on pci0
sis0: couldn't map ports/memory
device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6
I admit that I am VERY new to the Unix/Linux stuff.  I know the card 
fails, but why?  It's new and from the above three lines I am unable to 
find any kind of help to answer the question.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in 
advance for any you can give me.

Thanks,

Re: apache13 to apache13-modssl port migration

2003-09-10 Thread Peter Elsner
I made the same transition...  I had apache13 installed from ports,
and then found myself in need of SSL support.
I didn't uninstall apache13, I simply went to the apache13-modssl port
and typed: make all install clean
No problems.  There was a new httpsd.conf file under my /usr/local/etc/apache
directory and I simply cut and pasted the virtual host information from
my httpd.conf to httpsd.conf file.  Then I followed the instructions on the
mod-ssl web site. http://www.modssl.org/
Good luck

If so, you simply need to either remove the PPP entries from /etc/rc.conf

Re: netstat options

You're probably getting the connection refused because you didn't enable 
telnet in /etc/inetd.conf.

It's turned off by default.  Has nothing to do with netstat.

CKermit connect problem...

2003-10-07 Thread Peter Elsner
Hi list...

I've been using CKermit 6, 7, and now 8.0 (installed from the ports) for 
some time now...

I've been using this to dial (with a US Robotics external modem) to various 
customers running
SCO (Yuck) Openserver 5.0.5.

Recently, I switched to a new FreeBSD Server, running 4.8-STABLE, and now

CKermit connect problem...

2003-10-07 Thread Peter Elsner
Hi list...

I've been using CKermit 6, 7, and now 8.0 (installed from the ports) for 
some time now...

I've been using this to dial (with a US Robotics external modem) to various 
customers running
SCO (Yuck) Openserver 5.0.5.

Recently, I switched to a new FreeBSD Server, running 4.8-STABLE, and now 
when I dial
with Kermit to my customersm it dials and connects, but I never get a login 
prompt...

Does anyone have any idea's  ???

Ckermit, Minicom, and even Windows Dial Up won't work..

2003-10-09 Thread Peter Elsner
Hi again,

As some of you may recall, I have been having trouble connecting with Kermit
installed from ports (/usr/ports/comms/kermit).
I dial from my FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE box to a SCO Unix 5.0.5 box.
The connection is made, but I never get a login prompt.
So I decided to try Minicom (also from the ports)...

I get the same results, connection is made, but I get no
login prompts.
Then I tried a dial up program from Windows,
Pro Com is what I think it was called...
Same result... It's connecting, but I get no login prompt

I even tried several of my customers who are running SCO
and all of them are producing the same result.
Now, this just started happening with a move to a new server,
about 2 weeks ago.
Before then, I was able to dial into all of my customers sites
without any problems...
Can anyone shed some light onto why this is happening only
after I moved to a server with newer hardware?   The hardware is
identical to the old box, just newer...   I made sure of that...

I disagree...

There are 12 SCO Unix servers at 12 of my customers sites, and they haven't 
been
modified in years...   All 12 of them can't be having the same problem

The only change was made to my FreeBSD server, when I updated hardware...

HA project

2003-02-27 Thread Peter Elsner
Has anyone gotten the linux-ha project (http://linux-ha.org) working on 
FreeBSD?

There's mention of it on the site, but not much more than that.  There 
doesn't seem to be
a port for it either.

What I need is a High Availability Clustering solution for FreeBSD for 2 
servers.

If one goes down, the other one takes over, which gives virtually zero 
downtime.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Best way to log from several servers

You could write a Perl script to parse them and email them to you ...

That's what I did for about 14 of my customers... I get an email daily that 
emails me the logs.

You could take that a step further and have them FTP'd to a central server 
instead and then
write another script to go through and display only those things in the log 
that look funny
or out of the ordinary.

I don't want to halt the system; I want to go to single user mode and
always read there are two ways for this: "boot single" at startup _or_
"shutdown now" on a running system. The latter does not work on my

Re: Right way to "update" configuration arguments for a port ?

2003-03-03 Thread Peter Elsner
Not 100% sure about this, but I'll bet you can put it in your 
/etc/make.conf file

What I want to do it make it so that apache2 port on my machine will 
always include --enable-dav when apache2 gets upgraded, built, etc and I 
don't have to always remember to tweak something.

What's the right way to do this ?

I'm also running 8.11.6.  I installed the correct patch from sendmail.org
but haven't figured out how to get it to compile.  The README says:
*
!! DO NOT USE MAKE !!  in this directory to compile sendmail --
*  instead, use the "Build" script located in
the sendmail directory.
However, there is no "Build" script.

Now what?

I don't run sendmail at all, but I would like to learn how to apply the 
patch.
doing:  patch -p0 < /home/tim/sendmail.8.12.security.cr.patch  in the above
directory still gives the "File to patch:" prompt
What else needs to be done to apply the patch?

Re: Can I run my own Dynamic DNS server for private use ??

2003-03-05 Thread Peter Elsner
Sure...   I'm almost positive there are ports available that do that sort 
of thing,

I just wrote my own :)

I have 2 Perl scripts that do exactly what you want.  (well almost)...

One sits on the client and runs ifconfig -L  to a text file about 
every 10 to 20 minutes.
The text file is then parsed and if the IP address is different from the 
most recent one, it sends it to the server.

The server runs another script every 5 minutes and if it finds an IP 
address, it
then parses that, and updates a db entry in the namedb database and sends
an ndc restart to named.

A bit crude, but it works, and I've been using it for about 2 years now...

Re: Make installworld problem (4.7)

2003-03-05 Thread Peter Elsner
I've upgraded many servers remotely without ever booting into single user 
mode...

The steps I do are as follows:

1) cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile (from /usr/src/cvsup)
2) make buildworld (from /usr/src)
3) make installworld (from /usr/src)
4) modify my kernel (from /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/KERNEL NAME)
5) make buildkerenel (from /usr/src)
6) make installkernel (from /usr/src)
7) reboot
8) run mergemaster
I've done it this way for the past 3 years and it has never failed me yet.

Peter, no he didn't.  He did the basic steps in the right order.
read carefully:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
The only thing I can see he missed is in section 21.4.8 Reboot into Single
User Mode.

You can manually clean it, but FreeBSD can be set to do so...

Re: why BIND and sendmail installed by default?

2003-03-12 Thread Peter Elsner
To my knowledge, the default install does not install either BIND or SENDMAIL
anymore.  You have to select those options during the CUSTOM install 
process.  Unless
you are using the QUICK INSTALL method.  Of course, the QUICK INSTALL is
geared to get you started with the basics, so if you don't want them, then 
start
doing custom installs.

- Nop, my ISP provides me that
Do I need a my own mailserver???
- No, we have yahoo.com :-)
Now I from the sys admin point of view (mine):
Do I need a DNS server???
YES, but I usually grab the lastest version, and the default install does
not suit to our needs...
Do I need mail server?
YES, but I dont use sendmail, or I dont like the default install, it doesnt
suit to our needs etc...
Yes, I know you can "remove" sendmail and bind adding a couple of line to
the make.conf file but still doenst answer my questions

Apache install problem...

2003-03-20 Thread Peter Elsner
Here's something I've never seen before...

I am helping a friend update his system from 4.3 to 4.7.  Using cvsup, all 
that went fine.
He is now at 4.7-RELEASE-p7.  Then I wanted to update his Apache.  He was 
running 1.3.19
so I did a make deinstall && make clean first, then did cvsup on the 
ports.  When that was done,
I went back to do a make && make install && make clean on the Apache 1.3.27 
port.

This is what I get

chmod: .html: No such file or directory
chmod: /usr/local/share/doc/apache/XoomSite/Dreaming: No such file or directory
chmod: In: No such file or directory
chmod: Stereo.mid: No such file or directory
xargs: unterminated quote
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13/work/apache_1.3.27.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13/work/apache_1.3.27.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13.

I then searched the lists for xargs: unterminated quote and found a few people
back in 2002 that had similar problems.  No solutions were posted.  There
was one person who responded that there was a bug in the code for 1.3.26, but
he patched it.  Since this is 1.3.27, it shouldn't have that bug.  I have 
also updated
many systems the same way, and this is the first time it failed.

Any ideas from anyone?

Thanks,

Peter

Re: problem on 1TB filesystem RAID 5 3ware

2003-03-21 Thread Peter Elsner
I've been using the 3Ware cards for 2 years on FreeBSD...  We had a drive 
go south a few weeks ago, and
the 3dmd (3Ware daemon) reported the problem to me.  I had a local hardware 
tech go out and
replace the drive, boot up the system, and then over the net, I rebuilt the 
array.  It was back up and
running after about 20 minutes.

I did contact 3Ware tech support when this first happened, to make sure 
that I was following the
steps of rebuilding the array correctly.  They responded within 24 hours, 
and told me yes, I was doing
this correctly.  And I did mention to them it was FreeBSD.  At no time, did 
they ever mention
that they didn't support FreeBSD.  And that 3Ware daemon works great... 
Have it running on
all of my systems all over the country.

So I guess I will try that and see what happens.

I got NO response from 3Ware when I asked them about a newer version of 
their management daemon for FreeBSD.  I consider the 3Ware cards to be 
essentially unsupported on FreeBSD.

RE: apache exiting signal 11, high request period

2003-03-21 Thread Peter Elsner
I had the same problem with Apache 1.3.23 (or 24).  I thought it was a 
memory problem (sig 11 usually is).
So I replaced the memory stick, and the problem went away for about 2 
weeks, and started again.

I upgraded to the latest release of Apache (at that time 1.3.26), and the 
problem went away completely...
Haven't seen it since.

So perhaps an upgrade is in order.

Re: Freebsd - restarting itself?!

2003-03-24 Thread Peter Elsner
Don't rule out hardware just because it is new...  I've had plenty
of new hardware fail on me within the first 24 hours of operation, and
the symptoms can be rebooting or shutting down completely.
What do the log files in /var/log/ say?

Hi All,

Is it possible for FreeBSD to shut itself down and restart for no reason?

My machine was restarted last night and my hosting company claims they did
not touch the server or have any problems. This has been going of for a few
months now -- intermittent restarts that no one claims responsibility for.
This is a new machine with the latest OS (4.7) so I can't blame a faulty
power supply or something like -- I have more fans than Britney in the
server, for HD and CPU so I don't think it's a temp problem.
Thoughts, suggestions?

Re: Freebsd - restarting itself - followup

2003-03-24 Thread Peter Elsner
Hardware could still be an issue...  It might be a CPU fan going out.

That would explain the reboots.  CPU overheats and then reboots.
If it's been running fine for 4 months, yes, then it's burned in, but
the fan (or some other hardware) might have failed in the mean time.

Hi All,

Thanks to all of you that replied so promptly to my question. However I
think I failed to outline the situation clearly enough so with the responses
so far in mind...
Question was: Is it possible for FreeBSD to shut itself down and restart for
no reason?
- The "new server in question has been running at another facility without
any problems for about 4 months so I am assuming it is "burned in" and
stable.
- The logs (var/log/messages, /var/log/httpd-error.log) do not show any
obvious issues such as kernel panics, just a hard restart (/ not dismounted
correctly)
- As far as I can tell the box has not been exploited -- if someone we

Further thoughts, suggestions?

Re: Question about bounced mail

2003-03-28 Thread Peter Elsner
Yes, that means that a spammer from screensaver4u.com attempted (but 
failed) 143 times to relay spam through your server.

The reports do this automatically...  If you have your access file in 
/etc/mail set accordingly to only allow RELAYing from
trusted sites (internal), then anything that isn't allowed to relay through 
you, will be in the reports the next day.

how can I get it to print a list of all of the rejected mail addresses

I don't notice the disconnections here, but maybe the ppp process is

Apache+mod_ssl

2003-05-27 Thread Peter Elsner
This might seem like a stupid question, but here goes...

I have Apache 1.3 running on my system.  It's running fine and has been for 
several years.

I find that I'm in need of also have a secure https session (as well as my 
regular web sites).
So I set out to learn about Apache13+mod_ssl.  There are tons of documents 
available, and
they are all very good.  Only problem is that none (that I can find) tell 
you how to integrate any
of the new settings.  I first went to /usr/ports/www/apache13+mod_ssl and 
did a
make && make install && make clean.

Everything worked fine, no errors at all.  New httpds.conf file was 
created.  My question
is how do I integrate it to my current httpd.conf file?  Or do I have to 
uninstall the
original apache13 first and then re-install apache13+mod_ssl ?

If I do that, will I lose my current httpd.conf settings?

Re: Apache+mod_ssl

2003-05-29 Thread Peter Elsner
Thanks Mark,

Along with a private response from Raphaël Marmier, who told me
that I should run: apachectl startssl (instead of the apachectl start I 
normally run),

I discovered that there was an httpsdctl program in the same directory as
apachectl.  After generating my key(s) and certificates (I signed them 
myself),
I ran httpsdctl start and httpsd started...  A quick ps ax | grep 'http'
showed both httpd and httpsd running...

I quickly checked to make sure my current web pages still worked, and
they did.  Then I went to /usr/local/etc/apache and modified the
httpsd.conf file accordingly...  Restarted httpsd and put in a
quick and dirty index.html file (all it says is this is a secure page), into
the directory (that I defined in httpsd.conf).
Then went to my browser, and typed in: https://www.myserver.com

Instead of getting the index.html page I got, I got a page not found.

So I went to look at the log files...  Nothing... The log files for https
are empty, (nothing in error.log or access.log).  So I went to the
original log files and checked them... Nothing.
I'm not getting any error messages, and httpsd is running.
but the web pages aren't coming up either...
BTW: httpsdctl configtest shows that the httpsd.conf file is
okay.
If anyone has any more insight into this, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks again,

Peter

different (eg. the httpd binary is named apache and the httpd.conf file

highly recommend removing apache13 if installing apache13+mod_ssl.
To merge configurations, I often turn to a X app called xxdiff, which
let's you do the httpd.conf merge interactively.

Re: Spammers forged my address - help unbury me from bounces?

2003-05-30 Thread Peter Elsner
This sounds like a dictionary attack.  They simply put your domain in and 
run through
hundreds of names and prepend it to your domain.  One or more is bound to 
go through...

Try using the /etc/mail/access file, if you know what IP or domain it is 
coming from...

IPADDRESS/DOMAIN550 "RELAYING DENIED"

Then after adding those entries to the access file, run:

makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access

to rebuild the database.

Apache+mod_ssl update...

2003-05-30 Thread Peter Elsner
Thanks to Mark Foster and Raphaël Marmier, who have given me a lot of
information...
Raphaël Marmier, told me that I should run: apachectl startssl
(instead of the apachectl start I normally run)
This didn't work, apachectl didn't understand the command startssl at all.

After looking in the /usr/local/sbin directory, I discovered that there was
an httpsdctl program in there along with the apachectl.
With the httpsdctl program, I can get httpsd started, and looking at
the /var/log/httpsd_error_log file, I didn't see any errors.
ps ax | grep 'http'shows both httpd and httpsd running.

After issuing a restart just now, I decided to check the log file again.
Before, I was simply doing a cat /var/log/httpsd_error_log
and it didn't show me anything...  This time I pulled it up in vi,
and this is the output...
[Thu May 29 11:51:34 2003] [notice] SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart

So although it starts, there's a warning message I've never seen before,

My regular (non-secure) web pages show up fine, but the secure sites
come back with Page Not Found error messages...
Any ideas from anyone?

Re: de0 recognized but not configurable

2003-06-13 Thread Peter Elsner
How old is this system?

I remember a few years ago, there was a problem with NIC's on IRQ9...
I don't remember the exact details but we had a customers NIC on IRQ9,
and they complained constantly about the lag.  When we finally
discovered that the card was on IRQ9, we went into the systems BIOS
and changed it to IRQ10.  After a reboot the speed increased drastically.
Newer hardware shouldn't have that problem, but you might want to try
changing the BIOS setting for that IRQ.

At 02:09 PM 6/13/2003 -0600, you wrote:
I'm building a kernel with two ethernet devices, an ed0 and a de0.
Both devices are recognized during the hardware probe at system startup:
 de0:  irq 9 at device 18.0 on pci 0
device_probe_and_attach: de0 attach returned 6
 ed0:  at port 0x240-0x25f irq 5 on isa 0
Both cards are good, as I've tested them in a different system (also fbsd).

However, the de0 card is not configurable in this system, although the ed0 
device is:
 ifconfig de0 a.b.c.d netmask 255.255.255.248
 ifconfig: interface de0 does not exist

I presume the "device_probe_and_attach: de0 attach returned 6" has 
something to do with this;
my archive search didn't find anything, however.
The irqs appear to be allocated as follows:
 irq1   atkbd0
 irq3   sio1
 irq4   sio0
 irq5ed0
 irq6fdc0
 irq9de0
 irq11  bt0
 irq15  pci0 

On the (other) system where the device is configurable successfully, the 
graphics card is at 9 and the de device is at 15.

My kernel config specifies
 devicede
There is an if_de.o in the compile/KERNELNAME directory.  An nm on the 
kernel shows
 dif_de_pci_driver_list
 dif_de_pci_driver_mod
 dif_de_pci_mod
 dif_de_pcimodule_sys_init

What determines the order of irq assignment?
What does the "device_probe_and_attach" message mean?  Device not present 
/ responding?
Any hints on how to get this device to pay attention?
What's the syntax for pci device assignment in rc.config when specifying 
irqs?  I tried permutations on the isa version and got nowhere.

Thanks for any hints.

FreeBSD is free.
The CD is not free.
That simple.  Once you have purchased a CD you welcome to copy it or
install it as many times as you wish.  Spending a few dollars on a CD is
one way that many people contribute to the FreeBSD project.
Or you can download it off the Internet, if you have a fast enough

SCSI tape drive...

2003-06-16 Thread Peter Elsner
For the past 3 weeks, I noticed that my backup has been failing.

This is part of what I see in the /var/log/messages file.

I thought it was bad tapes, so I replaced them.  Same result.
So I replaced the tape drive, cable and SCSI card.
Still no joy.
It's an Adaptec 2940 and a Travan 5 SCSI 10/20 gig drive.

This same set up has worked for 3 years without problem.

It finally occurred to me (just a few minutes ago), that 3 weeks ago,
is about the time I upgraded from 4.7-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE.
Is it possible that the ahc driver is broken?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Re: SCSI tape drive...

2003-06-17 Thread Peter Elsner
Yes, I have used a cleaning cartridge... (2 of them as a matter of fact).

Also replaced all the hardware, tape drive, scsi card, and cable...

I'm not sure how to change the buffers in my back up scenario...
I know it was working for 3 years, without incident, and then
suddenly stopped, right about the time I upgraded from 4.7 to 4.8...
Nothing else (to my knowledge) changed...

FreeBSD vs "The Others" Brochure

2003-06-20 Thread Peter Elsner
I believe I have seen this before, but I'm not sure where.

What I'm looking for is a advertising slick or brochure, that
could be handed to a "clueless" sales prospect.  The first time
you say the word FreeBSD, and all you get is that blank stare
and a "huh?"...
I believe it was in PDF format, but can't remember.

If anyone knows where this is, please forward me a URL.

Thank you,

Re: free?

It is a FREE os...  You can freely download the ISO images
and burn them on to a CD using your CD-R/CD-RW drive.
CD media and jewel cases costs money...  The money that
these sites charge is not for the OS, but for the media (4 CD's)
and the jewel case, and the booklet insert.  In most cases, the
money is reverted back to the FreeBSD Project, which helps with
various costs.
Hope that settles your confusion.

Re: How to delete/replace default route using ppp?

2003-07-07 Thread Peter Elsner
No, it won't...  rc.conf take precedence...

If you have a defaultrouter line in your rc.conf file,
it will still be there.
You must comment that line out, and then use the
add default HISADDR to your ppp.conf file.
Otherwise you will get a warning message
Warning: default route already exists (or something of that nature).

Please forgive me if I'm saying something you already know.

Re: Tape Drive Problems

2003-07-08 Thread Peter Elsner
Could be a bad drive, bad tape, bad cable...

Try a new tape and cleaning the drive with a tape cleaning cartridge.

I assume you have rebooted and tried again (just to make sure it wasn't a 
hangup)?

Power down the server, and open up the case, look for loose data cables, or 
loose
SCSI card.  (it happens)...

If everything checks out fine, find another tape drive to test with...

Re: No output from periodic

2003-07-08 Thread Peter Elsner
What you are seeing is an error condition...
You should be able to put a redirect into crontab...
Here's an example of one of my entries...
It runs every 5 minutes, the dyndnss.pl script and sends
output to /tmp/dyndnss.out AND any error messages (that's the 2>)
to /tmp/dyndnss.err
This works for me and I don't see any error messages.
In the actual script, if something goes wrong, I have it email me.
So I still get notified if the script fails, but I don't get any warnings
from CRON.
Hope that works.

Re: restoresymtable

2003-07-09 Thread Peter Elsner
Quick search on google, brought up the following:

If you use the "-r" option to the restore command, it will create this file.
This is a "checkpoint" file, which the restore command uses when you are 
restoring
from multiple tapes.  For example, suppose you had a level 0 (full) dump tape
from a week ago and a level 1 (incremental) dump tape from yesterday and 
you need
to restore the entire disk.  You would run the "restore -r" command on the 
full dump
tape first, and then on the incremental dump tape to pick up the latest 
changes.
The restore command with the -r option assumes that additional restores may be
coming and so creates that restoresymtable file as an aid to help the next 
restore
command determine which directories or files need updating, creating, or 
deleting.

The restore "-x" option does not create this file, because it assumes no 
further
restores are coming.

After you are finished restoring your disk, you SHOULD remove the 
restoresymtable
file.  You do not want this file to appear on your next dump backup.  If a 
dump with
that file is used for a future restore operation, the old restoresymtable file
could end up overwriting the one that is being created at that time.

Re: Post about BSD's alleged demise on /.

2003-07-10 Thread Peter Elsner
The person who posted this on /. is nothing more than a troll...

The same bunch of trolls that repeat that *BSD is dying (or dead) about 
once every
couple of months...

It's not true, it's just there to see how much panic can be caused.

FreeBSD is NOT dying, and will be around for many years to come.

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when
recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1
percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this
news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing
in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last
[samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's
future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In
fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying.
Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware,
*BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of
blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of
its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How
many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus
NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there
are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users
of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD
market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users.
This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD
went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another
troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet
another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share.
*BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
*BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD
continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this
point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dead

Re: FreeBSD lacks PPPoE (pppoa3 solution)

2003-07-10 Thread Peter Elsner
I don't know what version of FreeBSD you are using, but PPPoE
has been available on FreeBSD for quite some time.
A quick search on Google with "PPPoE on FreeBSD" pulled up dozens of
sites that show how-to's on PPPoE with FreeBSD.
Peter

At 09:06 PM 7/10/2003 +, you wrote:

Hello to all,

I'm using FreeBSD for almost 4 years and I will continue with it because
I can't find better.
I subscribed to a ADSL connection in Portugal that supports only PPPoE
(and not PPPoA).
Almost everyone in Portugal uses only 2 modems (supported by ISPs):
Siemens Santis USB and Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 USB.
Linux people has already support to Alcatel USB modems with PPPoE
connections and FreeBSD still lacks of PPPoE support.
I don't like Linux so, to solve my home network problem, I install a
Windows machine to share the Internet (ooops!) across my LAN.
The new Speedtouch 1.2 beta2 driver 
(http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/news.en.html),
already support Bridging 1483 mode (PPPoE support) in pppoa3 but without
use in FreeBSD.

Please read the following thread to see some solutions for implementing
PPPoE in FreeBSD.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04514.html

For what you can see in this thread:

"...that  task is  simply a  matter of  two or  three #ifdefs  for  each
BSD flavor, but nobody seems volunteering to accomplish it."
I'm just a FreeBSD user not a programmer or hacker, so I can only help
FreeBSD community asking you to try to implement PPPoE in FreeBSD so
everyone uses it.


Thanks very much for your great work,

Nuno Teixeira

Greetings,

Using windows based machines, you can send a "System Broadcast Message" to
all windows machines in the network.  I was wondering if there is a tool
for FreeBSD that can do similar, sending to all windows clients.

or use the p option to extract with the same permissions.

tar(1) stores permissions as well as the files themselves.  By
default, it doesn't seem (according to a quick manual check I just
did) to try to recreate those permissions when it extracts the files;
it uses the umask instead.  So make sure that the users have a
reasonable umask by default.

Hi All,
Just wondered on FreeBSD is there a way that I can quickly create a file.
When I mean quick I basically mean that the system just says that ok this
file is allocataed inodes foo-bar rather than having to use mkfile 1G
filename. Something like XFS's holey file support

Re: RAID HW

2003-07-29 Thread Peter Elsner
I use the 3-Ware Escalade IDE RAID card.  It's inexpensive, and works right 
out of the box.
So far have not had any problems with it in 20 different servers for the 
past 2 years.

Hello there,

please, what RAID controller for ATA HDDs should I use in my new fileserver.
There will be run 4.8 with samba (for Win clients) and netatalk (for Mac
clients). I'm looking for some, which are "officialy" supported by FreeBSD,
without any special requirements.
I'd like to use RAID 5, if possible.

Thanks for all recomendations.

Re: 3ware Support Question

2003-07-30 Thread Peter Elsner
Have had no problems using the 6000/7000/8000 series of cards on 4.6 to 4.8...
Have not tried 5.0/5.1

I am wanting to use a 3ware raid card so I can get IDE RAID1+0 for a new 
mail server.  Heard nothing but good things about them and FreeBSD.

The card is: 7506-4LP

But do not know if 4.8 supports this specific card.
The notes say:
3ware Escalade ATA RAID controllers ( twe(4) driver)
5000 series
6000 series
7000 series
The same support is in 5.0.

Is 7506-4LP a 7000 series card or is it a 7500 series card?

There was a previous thread about the 7500 series card potentially causing 
corruption.  Has anybody heard additional information regarding this?

Re: Floppy drive confusion

2003-08-14 Thread Peter Elsner
Is there a formatted floppy in the drive?



At 08:37 PM 8/13/2003 -0700, you wrote:
OK, my fist trime trying to mount a floppy under FreebSD (4.8) isn't going so
well.
I've looked over the net and I think I have a problem.

I tried the command:

mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

and variants with the slices added.  In all cases tried so far I get the
error:
mount_msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured

Here's where I think the problem lies:  (from my dmesg.boot)

fdc0:  at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
The significant thing here is, there's no fd0 device after the controller is
detected.  I assume this must be why I can't mount my floppy.  Any idea how I
can get fd0 to show up?
Thanks,

Erick Smith
