Sendmail IP interface assignment -- how to?
Hi All, Working on standard sendmail 8.13.8 on FreeBSD 6.2. Machine has a 2nd NIC that I want to use for a jail environment, so I'm trying to get rid of all the extraneous servers listening on it. Sendmail was of course listening on the smtp and submission ports on all interfaces. I tracked down the sendmail option DaemonPortOptions to configure this. In the STANDARD sendmail.cf file there was: O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E So I edited the .mc macro to add: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Addr=127.0.0.1,Port=smtp,Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Addr=172.23.23.10,Port=smtp,Name=MTA') Which built sendmail.cf with: O DaemonPortOptions=Addr=127.0.0.1,Port=smtp,Name=MTA O DaemonPortOptions=Addr=172.23.23.10,Port=smtp,Name=MTA O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E That closed port 25 on the extra NIC, but netstat still shows "tcp4 *.submission LISTEN". I definitely need to close port 587 in the 2nd NIC, but I was wondering about "best practices" for this. Shouldn't the submission thing ONLY be on the localhost IP? I'm thinking I can use: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Addr=127.0.0.1,Port=587,Name=MSA,M=E') Am I going in the right direction here? It looks like I've turned off smtp as intended, but wondering if I'm doing the right thing with restricting submission. Any other suggestions on configuring this? (other than "don't use sendmail") This is on a live server, so I don't want to hose things up too much experimenting! -Thanks, Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That was the piece I was missing. I tried my Daemon_Options above, but found out its presence does not disable the default config to listen on all interfaces. I got it working by directly editing the .cf, but your trick does it from the macro config. The final result ended up as: FEATURE(no_default_msa)dnl # turn off MSA on all ports; only ue what's in Daemon_Options DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=172.23.23.10,Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=2525,Addr=172.23.23.10,Name=MTA')dnl # smtp on alt port DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MSA,M=E') Once I knew the right keywords to google, I found this article that might be of use to others: "Five Tips for a Better sendmail Configuration" http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/01/15/sendmail.html?page=1 -Thanks, Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

When you're experimenting with the meter, remember that for many devices you need to plug it in for a couple days to average out the load. Like a refrigerator, where the defrost only kicks in every few days. No so big a deal on computers, but you'll still get more accurate numbers. I saw one online review of the thing where the author was testing devices for less than an hour at a time, which is NOT going to give any accurate results. Some of my discoveries: CRTs that don't go into low power mode suck obscene amounts of power. Refrigerators aren't as bad a you might think. Most the draw in a residence is the HVAC.

Re: installation question
Michael Silverstein wrote: There are two installation CD's for FreeBSD 6.2. After booting the first one, and requesting ALL packages and ALL ports, the installation seems to go ok until the end when it complains that it cannot find the requested package on the media from which installation is being made. Yikes! You probably filled all the available disk space. If you were to flip over to one of the other virtual consoles (Alt F1 thru F4) you would probably see a panic or other warning. First off, YOU DO NOT WANT ALL THAT STUFF! There are 18,000 or so 3rd party software packages that have been ported to FreeBSD. You can install the ones you want either as pre-compiled binaries, via "packages"; or configure & compile them yourself via "ports". For a given software package you should use packages OR ports, but not both. Also, the 3rd party software on the install CDs is usually obsolete by the time you're installing it. Don't install any of that stuff at OS installation time. Get the system up and running, then investigate how to get a current copy of the ports framework installed. Hint: look into portsnap. I'd also suggest setting up a separate file system (I use /build) for ports and operating system source at install time. This is usually /usr/ports, /usr/src, and /usr/obj. I just like to keep it in a separate fs for ease of backup and other issues; others may disagree. Questions: Do I have a complete installation? How do I install whatever is on the 2nd CD? You only need the first CD for a complete installation of FreeBSD. Load it and the full source code. Don't screw with ports, packages, or any of the X11 (X windows) during installation. -Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It is easier to understand when you replace the ":" by a more conventional
subroutine name.
myproc () {

myproc
It recursively generates useless processes that clog up the machine. Mine
ground to a halt and froze after a few seconds.
Interesting, if not annoying ;) Thanks for the explanation, Mike. I edited
/etc/login.conf and changed maxproc=unlimited to maxproc=200. Then tried it. Took a
second or so to start spewing "Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable".
I'd opened a 2nd session, and ps wasn't even able to give me full info on what was

Re: DHCP
A couple of things:
The range statement is for unknown clients - they will be given a lease
in this range by the server. It doesn't control the host definition,
which will use the address in the fixed-address statement.
The host definition would normally go inside the subnet definition - at
the moment, it's not going to get the netmask or router options.
Any errors in the dhcpd.conf will be mentioned in /var/log/messages when
the service starts up.
Hope that helps

Re: hostnames and interfaces
My non-technical understanding: * A BSD system has a fully qualified domain name that is set and retrieved by the hostname(1) command. This is normally defined in /etc/rc.conf and considered the 'true name' of the system. If this name does not resolve to an IP address, many network services will complain (such as sendmail). If this IP address is not configured on an interface on the system, many things will get confused (such as routing). * You can also configure other interfaces, either on extra network cards or using the alias option of ifconfig(8). These interfaces should have different IP addresses, and names are optional (but convenient). * Any IP address can have extra names, either in /etc/hosts or on a nameserver. The 'canonical' name should probably come first. Your average BSD system will have 1 hostname that resolves to 1 address configured on its single network interface. The /etc/hosts file will map this address to the FQ hostname, and probably also to the short version for convenience. It will also have the name localhost, resolving to 127.0.0.1 and configured on lo0, again using /etc/hosts for resolution. Anything beyond that is up to you... - Original Message - From: "paul van den bergen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: hostnames and interfaces > hey all, > I first encountered networking in CISCO land... where IP addresses and host > names seem to be associated... > > what is the freeBSD way?

Re: Building Automated Custom Install CD
Have a look at sysinstall(8) - the interesting bit is If sysinstall is compiled with LOAD_CONFIG_FILE set in the envi- ronment (or in the Makefile) to some value, then that value will be used as the filename to automatically look for and load when sysinstall starts up and with no user interaction required. This option is aimed primarily at large sites who wish to create a single prototype install for multiple machines with largely iden- tical configurations and/or installation options. So you should be able to recompile sysinstall, add your script and create a new ISO from the standard install CD-ROM. Of course, that may not be as simple as it sounds - for mounting and customising the images, look at vnconfig(8) and the /usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs port. The /usr/ports/sysutils/livecd port may be another way to do what you want - I haven't looked at it closely. - Original Message - From: "Jim Sims" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Building Automated Custom Install CD > Not exactly.

Re: Controlling init on shutdown/reboot
I haven't used ppp(8) - I prefer pppd(8) - so I'm not familiar with ppp.linkdown.sh. If this is a shell script, there's a couple of things that I've seen cause strange script behaviour: lack of default environment and lack of TTY. This usually shows up in scripts that work fine at the command line, but fail under other circumstances (such as crontabs). Does it take more than 2 minutes at the command line? Have you tried adding set -x at the start to see where it's failing? If it's called by rc.shutdown the output should be to the console, but I'm not sure what ppp(8) does with script output. - Original Message - From: "Daniel Rudy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Controlling init on shutdown/reboot > Somewhere around the time of 12/01/2003 03:32, the world stopped and > listened as Rob contributed this to humanity: > > >>From line 99 of /usr/src/sbin/init/init.c, > > > > #define DEATH_SCRIPT 120 /* wait for 2min for /etc/rc.shutdown */ > > > > and on line 1576 it looks like you can change this with the sysctl > > 'kern.shutdown_timeout'. > > > > But 2 minutes is a long time for a shell script - are you sure that > > everything is working correctly? > > The problem is that a ppp.linkdown.sh script needs to do something and > it's not doing it.

amd documentation: why is it so confusing?
Hi, I have exported directories successfully. Thus I moved on to use amd for having the system mount this as it is needed. However, I am getting totally stuck in the amd manuals. Are the amd manuals really that bad, or is it me? For example: The FreeBSD handbook mentions amd in one sentence, by referring to the manual pages of amd and amd.conf. So all I have are the manual pages on the amd commands and files. The amd manual talks about a map file, but there's nowhere information to be found on what the structure of such a map file is. Is the creation of the amd-map file too trivial, or so complicated that nobody dares explaining it? Anyone who can point me to better help on this? Thanks!

Re: protecting loader
I habitually put autoboot_delay="0" in /boot/loader.conf because I'm impatient. It doesn't stop me from booting into single-user mode - you just have to hit a key while loader(8) is spinning, before it starts the kernel. As far as I can tell, the options in /boot.config apply to boot2, which has its own command prompt. I occasionally interrupt that one by mistake, and get confused because it's nothing like loader. So if you want to tie down the boot process, you will probably need to use both files. - Original Message - From: "Dru" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: protecting loader > > > On Thu, 4 Dec 2003, Nathan Kinkade wrote: > > > On Thu, Dec 04, 2003 at 02:20:07PM -0500, Dru wrote: > > > > > > Is there a way to prevent a user from bypassing loader and > > > loading/unloading stuff at the OK prompt?

Re: chroot environment
If you've already built the environment, you're halfway to having a jail(8) - this extends chroot(8) by creating a private process tree and network interface. You can run an entire system inside a jail, including sshd(8) to accept logins. For ftp logins, ftpd(8) has builtin support for chrooting certain users - see ftpchroot(5). There is also support for chrooting logins in the ssh.com version of sshd - I believe this is /usr/ports/security/ssh2, but I haven't checked.

Need help: HyperThreading-CPU + FreeBSD-Stable + Multi-threading
Hello, Recently I've got a new PC: P4 Titan 2.6 GHz. It says in the brochure that it has "HyperThreading", which I think is somehow related to the HyperThread thing in the FreeBSD kernel, right? I know there's this message in /usr/src/UPDATING, which unfortunately does not clear up the matter for me. So let me recap what I believe to understand: For utilizing the advantages of this HyperThreading stuff for users, I need in the kernel configuration: optionsSMP# Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel optionsAPIC_IO# Symmetric (APIC) I/O Furthermore, I need to set "machdep.hlt_logical_cpus" to 0 (zero). How do I add this to "the loader" so that it is set to zero at every boot up? Should I simply add to my /boot/loader.conf a line like: machdep.hlt_logical_cpus="0" After that, I'm done with the hyperthreading? Thanks, Rob. PS: if you're in the mood, I would appreciate a few words on what this HyperThreading is about and what advantages I can expect.

Re: Complex quoting task in tcsh
Daniela, This isn't the answer you would like, but tcsh is generally considered a bad language for writing scripts*. It's an excellent command-line shell, but scripts are not its strong point. One reason is the one you've just run into - quoting is a little flakey, especially when you try to do something tricky. For 'basic' scripts, either sh(1) or ksh(1) is usually the way to go. As an example, here's your line-checking question, using sh and FreeBSD commands: cat somefile | while read LINE ; do if echo "$LINE" | grep -q '^#' ; then # do something with $LINE fi done For more complex work, perl or python are usually recommended. On the other hand, if you just want to filter the comments out of a file, put grep -v '^#' at the start of your pipeline. * Csh Programming Considered Harmful (1996) http://www.perl.com/pub/a/language/versus/csh.html - Original Message - From: "Daniela" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Complex quoting task in tcsh > I'm writing a tcsh script and I can't figure out how to escape that #. > I tried all possible variations, and it always says I have a syntax error. > Here's one: > if ($line =~ "#*") > Or is there another way to find out if the line starts with a hash mark? > > Regards, > Daniela > > > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Fuzzy out of focus console w/new flatscreen monitor on bootup
I'm guessing that this switch changes the video mode in Linux - have a look at vidcontrol(1) to achieve the same thing here. The command vidcontrol -i mode will list your available modes - for console work, you're probably only interested in the text ones. Note also that if you load the vesa kernel module with kldload vesa the list will be longer. One of these modes should be the 'native' resolution of your display, which will give you a clear picture. - Original Message - From: "Troy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 7:52 AM Subject: Fuzzy out of focus console w/new flatscreen monitor on bootup > I am using GRUB to boot into Freebsd 4.9 Stable. > > I recently purchased a new flatscreen monitor and when I boot up the > console appears to be very fuzzy. > > I installed the NVIDIA driver and put the proper settings into the > XF86Config and it's clear and in 1600x1200 for X windows. > > While researching, I found that in Linux, folks have used a switch in > grub vga=795 when booting their kernel that gets the console to be much > clearer. > > It doesn't appear that Freebsd supports that switch in grub.

FreeBSD 8.0 not detecting hot swap drive insertion
I'm running a 10 hot-swap SATA disk ZFS pool and recently upgraded from 7.2 to 8. Since I upgraded, freebsd isn't spinning up or recognizing a new drive that is inserted. In freebsd 7.[0,2], I could remove a drive and insert a new one and freebsd would recognize it, spin it up, and create the device nodes. None of that is happening in 8.0, and the only way I've found to get it to recognize the disk is to reboot the system. I tried using atacontrol to force freebsd to reinit an ata channel, but that didn't have any effect. Did something change in 8.0 that prevents this auto-detection? Is there a way to re-enable it?

Re: FreeBSD 8.0 not detecting hot swap drive insertion
I don't have any /dev/ada* devices, so I assume I'm using the original ata driver.

Re: FreeBSD 8.0 not detecting hot swap drive insertion
It should be noted that my raid controller card driver (htprr) is exhibiting the same issue. Before 8.0, both the ata and htprr drivers would recognize a HD insertion and the disks information would be scanned and device nodes created. On 8.0, the best I can see is that the drive insertion is detected (the htprr driver prints a message about drive insertion/removal), but the disks are never scanned for drive information nor device nodes created.

mysql not starting on boot
Since I upgraded to FreBSD 8.0, I'm noticing that mysql isn't starting on boot anymore.

Re: mysql not starting on boot
To the mysql init script, I added: # REQUIRE: dhclient And to the dhclient init script I added: # REQUIRE: NETWORKING In addition to changing DHCP to SYNCDHCP in rc.conf, mysql now starts up on boot. I would think the dhclient change should be required in the default setup since NETWORKING should be up before attempting to grab a dhcp IP, or am I misunderstanding here? Either way, the above seems to have solved my problem. Thanks! Rob Matthew Seaman wrote: Rob wrote: Since I upgraded to FreBSD 8.0, I'm noticing that mysql isn't starting on boot anymore.

Is there a way to make mysql be the last thing started at boot? MySQL will be happy if it can work out what the hostname of the machine is. You say you're using ddns? If that means your machines are pushing a hostname up to the DHCP server while they ask it for an IP number, then there should be no problem. You can simply set the hostname in /etc/rc.conf -- it doesn't really matter if the machine thinks its name is one thing, and the IPs on its network interfaces resolve to something else (at least, not for the purposes of running mysql.). The thing you'ld have to look out for are the host part of usernames in grants of permissions to users. I tried adding: # REQUIRE: NETWORKING To the init script, but that didn't seem to have any effect. Is there a tool that will run through all the init scripts and tell you the order of startup? rcorder(8) You might also find it beneficial to use 'SYNCDHCP' instead of plain 'DHCP' in ifconfig_XXY lines in /etc/rc.conf -- this will cause the boot process to block on getting an IP for the interface, rather than the default action of backgrounding that process and trying to start everything else up.

Re: Still having trouble with package upgrades
I ran into problems with pkg-upgrade when I upgraded from 8.2p6->9.0-RELEASE, and part of the problem ended up being a tool pkg_upgrade used (uma). That was the reason portupgrade didn't work as well. I ended up hacking the support tool and pkg_upgrade to do what I needed, but they are both definitely broken. iirc, one of the issues with uma was it's url generation. It would generate urls like 9-RELEASE instead of 9.0-RELEASE, the former being the format for 9-STABLE and the later (which I needed) was for an upgrade for a release. Sadly, I've forgotten the other issues, but I remember making about 3 hacks to the tools to get it working.

Re: SATA Host Adapter Recommendation
I have a Highpoint 4-port PCI-E 4x card in a server that has worked well for a few years. It's a bit pricey, but I've had no problems with it. Recently, I've gotten 3 Rosewill RC-218 cards because they're much cheaper and I don't need the RAID functionality on other cards. I'm building servers with them now, but FreeBSD recognizes the disks attached to them fine (so long as your on >= 8.2 and you add hw.hptrr.attach_generic=0 in /boot/loader.conf). I haven't tried hot-swapping any drives yet, but I'm assuming since it's SATA it should work fine. I should probably verify that soon. Rob On 5/21/11 9:26 PM, Jason C.

Virtualbox on 8.2 64-bit
I was attempting to install virtualbox on my 8.2-p2 64-bit system this weekend, and hit a rather curious situation. The pre-packaged version of virtualbox retrievable by pkg_add is 3.2.12 (which looks in ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release). Poking around on the ftp server, I see that packages-8.1-release also has a 3.x version, but packages-8-stable has the latest 4.0.8. I went to look in ports, which contains 4.0.8, and build it myself but I got an error saying I need to have the 32-bit libraries installed in order to build virtualbox. So, my question is 2-fold: 1) What is the reason the 64-bit pre-packaged version of virtualbox is still at the 3.x version? Would there be a problem with installing the packages (virtualbox and kernel module) from packages-8-stable? 2) How do I build virtualbox 4.0.8 on a 64-bit system w/o the 32-bit libs. Is that possible? Searching around has produced old e-mail threads indicating this was a problem as of 2 or so years ago with the 3.x release. If it's not possible to build w/o the 32-bit libs, what do I need to install?

Rob To remain with the same kernel you installed, you must install the source tree from the same CD/DVD you used for installation. You will have to run sysinstal and go to Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD then Distributions Install additional distribution sets then mark [ ] src Sources for everything Choose the CDROM as installation media. After that you'll have all the sources on your HD and can proceed to the compilation of the 32 libs. If the sources are from the same CD you installed the system, they will be in sync with your kernel. No upgrade issues. What is that command doing though? It's building what from src?

On 6/14/11 4:52 PM, Mario Lobo wrote: Also, do you know the difference between pre-built packages on the freebsd ftp server in packages-8.2-release vs packages-8-stable? Well, IF you installed the source tree from the SAME cd which you installed the FreeBSD you have now, there won't be any problems. You said you want to keep the stock kernel you installed so I assume that you haven't updated anything from the internet. You MUST install the source tree from the same DVD/CD from where you installed your running kernel! The diference is that the packages are meant to run on their respective version. I believe that packages that don't rely on a specific thing of one version should run without problems on both. But this is not normal or even needed at all, specially because it is so easy to bring everything uptodate to the same version. I installed from an 8.2 boot only CD (ie network install) and have since patched up to 8.2-p2. I assume I can just run sysinstall from my system and pull the src tree from the ftp server? When 8.3 comes out, what do I need to do to update the src tree? This may be documented in the UPDATING docs, but having never messed with the source tree I haven't had cause to look. If so just tell me to go read the respective doc. :) Rob ___ 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"

AHCI driver and static device names
I was getting ready to install the latest FreeBSD 9-RCs image, and I found that 9 now defaults to using the ahci driver for sata disks. This would be great if it weren't for the fact that the ahci driver seems to do dynamic device name assignment as opposed to the static ones used with the older drivers. I've looked around on google and while this is mentioned (in old threads), the "solution" is to use labels or elaborate mapping via hints which really aren't solutions imo. If I have 15 disks in an array, I want to be able to label them and know which bay is which device name.

Re: AHCI driver and static device names
glabel looks to place a label on the whole disk, but the manpage is unclear (to me) how the partitions are handled. If I use glabel to label a disk "test" and this disk has 4 partitions on it, then how is each partition accessed? testp1...testp4 for gpt? The other option seems to be to use tunefs or a partitioning tool to label each partition, which is even more ugly imo.

Re: AHCI driver and static device names
Is there a loader.conf entry to enable the static ids, or will the ahci driver always use static ids if "options ATA_STATIC_ID" is in the kernel config? I desire to use stock kernels and the 9-rc2 boot iso seems to not have ATA_STATID_ID set (unless there's a loader.conf value to enable the functionality) Rob On 12/3/11 3:44 AM, Denise H.

MBR and BSD schemes can be used, since they occupy only the first sectors of the device, and their monikers will be appended to the label. Thus, labeling a single-slice MBR disk (/dev/ada0) with 'test' would produce /dev/ada0, /dev/ada0s1, /dev/label/test, and /dev/label/tests1; nesting a BSD table within s1 would add /dev/ada0s1a and /dev/label/tests1a as well. Do gpt labels work the same as glabel, ie provide a static device name that can be acted upon with /etc/fstab, zfs, gmirror, etc? The other option seems to be to use tunefs or a partitioning tool to label each partition, which is even more ugly imo. Ugly how? Labels appear a lot more semantically elegant than the opaque 'ada4s1a' moniker. Ugly in that the driver has created a situation where we need workarounds to perform the tasks we need. *nix systems have always relied upon static device nodes, and using dynamic names without updating the relating tools/methods is ugly. The workarounds also could fail if someone forgets to perform them (specifically labels), since it's not necessary on just about any other *nix system. It's perfectly within reason to assume people will forget to apply a label when replacing a disk. Case in point. I have a system with 15 drives in it. I decided I wanted to install on the 2nd device instead of the 1st, but I partitioned all the other 14 drives. I completed installation and when to boot the system and it failed. Stupid me, the GPT boot loader found disk1 with a partitioning scheme but no fs. So, I popped out disk 1 and when to boot again. Hey, now it starts to boot only to fail to find the root fs because it's looking on ada1 and the fs is on ada0. That is a mess. This is not necessarily common, but also not uncommon. More likely is the case where you add a drive to the system and the above scenario plays out because the device names get re-ordered. I'm not sure the problem the dynamic device nodes intends to solve, but it's certainly caused all sorts of pain and the need for the 2 (that I know of) workarounds. I dislike the idea of having to use labels to get static functionality (increases the likelihood of something going wrong for a disk replace operation if I forget to label), but I'll give gpt labels a try.

Re: AHCI driver and static device names
Can glabels, gpt, and zfs all work together? I have a system where I have disks with 4 gpt partitions. Partitions 2 and 3 are part of gmirror arrays, and partition 4 is part of a zfs pool. glabel says it writes to the end of the partition, which I believe zfs also writes to doesn't it?

This is overstated. Since a GPT ordinarily is intended to be booted from, and so must be recognized by the BIOS, it must be written directly on the actual drive -- the "rank 1 provider" in GEOM terms -- because that is the only way for the GPT metadata to be located where the BIOS expects to find it (at both the beginning and the end of the drive). It is, however, possible to combine GPT with gmirror, gjournal, etc. by using GPT partitions, rather than drives, as providers for the other geoms. For example, create a mirror from ad0p1 and ad2p1 rather than from ad0 and ad2. Similarly, it "should" be possible to glabel a GPT partition -- although this seems unlikely to be useful in practice since GPT provides its own labelling scheme. ___ 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"
Re: AHCI driver and static device names
and I should expect something to come out of it. In my case, I have not moved the cabling of a disk at all and thus expect the device name to stay the same. All I have done is add a new disk to the controller. I have a reasonable expectation that that action should not re-order the device nodes and screw up god knows what (ALL mounts could break, and the system could even fail to boot). This is how things used to work, and in fact still do work in Linux and other *nix. Or how about those silly BIOSes that assume that you must really want to boot to the new disk you just attached to the machine, so helpfully rearrange your boot order for you so now you're booting to a strange disk with who knows what on it? Honestly, there's so much that can go wrong. That's what sysadmins are for. None of those are related to my point. If a something breaks before I boot the system, that's a whole other issue. I am talking about breaking filesystem mounting by changing an age old methodology. I dislike the idea of having to use labels to get static functionality (increases the likelihood of something going wrong for a disk replace operation if I forget to label), but I'll give gpt labels a try. I find that labels solve more problems than they introduce, when applied properly. The semantic meaning given to the devices often mean I can discover what's on a particular disk in my pile'o'drives just by plugging it in and looking at the kernel log; no mounting necessary. Likewise, when juggling disks or controllers around, I don't have to worry about remembering to update the fstab, since the labels follow the data. If you want to use labels then by all means use them. I can seem advantages to using them. What I'm saying is that it is broken to have to use them in order to fix issues with the ahci driver using dynamic device names. The fact that you have to use them to ensure your system doesn't break horribly when you do something simple like add a disk is a clear indication of a broken design in the ahci driver imho.

I want to be able to listen to Real Audio streams, but as it is now I have to boot into Windows to do it.

Firefox 1.5 complains that it is already running
Hi, I compiled Firefox 1.5 from ports but when attempting to start it I get the error message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I could not find any Firefox or Mozilla type of process running. I am starting it from a terminal and I get no error messages there. Ending Xorg and then starting it again does not help. Finally Firefox was compiled with -o -pipe -mtune=pentium4, so I doubt if there would be any problem with the build. Thank you. Rob Lytle ps.

dhclient and bootpd on same system OK?
Hi, I have a home network with a router connected to the external internet, and four PCs on the home network. The router provides IPs with its DHCP server. (The router is a small commercial box skrewed to the wall). One of the PCs on the home network is a FreeBSD (6-Stable). This FreeBSD PC runs dhclient to get its IP configuration. So far so good. All other PCs on the network are Windows PCs, but have a BIOS that allow Network boots. Therefore I would like to set up the possibility to boot these PCs as diskless boxes from the FreeBSD PC, using the bootpd server. Hence, I'd like to make this FreeBSD PC a bootpd server. But it is already running dhclient. Would such a setup cause conflicts? Thanks, Rob. - Yahoo!

How to add 'polling' in rc.conf to the ifconfig line?
Hi, With 5.X, polling was enabled by setting the sysctl variable. However, with 6-Stable this seems to be depreciated; instead polling should be added per interface in the ifconfig line. I used to have this in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_sk0="inet 147.46.41.211 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_sk0_alias0="ether 00:50:bf:33:01:01" (Note that I need the alias0 line, to enforce a particular hardware address for the interface) How do I add polling here? When I add 'polling' at the end of either line, then the configuration is not done properly or even not done at all. Thanks, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

fastboot: hangs afer console line "Rebooting"
Hi,
I have bought a 'naked' motherboard (no case) and
assembled it to a computer myself (adding CPU, RAM
etc. myself). It's an ASUS P4S8X-MX with SIS chips.
It works all fine, except for the fastboot command.
Bootup from cold machine and shutdown all works
perfectly ("shutdown -p now" switches off the power).
However, when I do a 'fastboot', the console displays
the machine's down procedure, and then says:
Rebooting
but nothing happens anymore after this.
I have to power off/on the machine, in order to
boot again.
Any idea why this is happening?
Are specific settings on the motherboard or in
the BIOS relevant to such a reboot?
Thanks,
Rob.

sendmail hangs with errors after setting hostname
Hi,
OK, I think that I now have my hostname set properly in rc.conf and /etc/hosts
In rc.conf is the line hostname="xenon"
In /etc/hosts there is one line: 127.0.0.1 localhost xenon
Upon bootup I get the following error:
"xenon sm-mta [1556]: My unqualified host name (localhost) unknown;
sleeping for retry"
Then after it sleeps a bit I get more errors. Finally, I just hig to
kill it
and the boot process continues.
I looked in the handbook in the Sendmail section and it referred to a file in
/etc/mail
called "local-host-names" and I put that file in with the line: "xenon" in
there, but with
the same results, so I am really not certain exactly what to do now.
I put the Sendmail config part of rc.conf below. I just want localhost based

Sendmail: "550 Relaying denied" after boot up; restart sendmail solves problem !?!
Hi, I have a weird problem with my mail server. It's running 6-Stable as Feb. 23rd. After a boot up, sendmail refuses to deliver emails with a reject=550 5.7.1 [...] Relaying denied When I then simply restart sendmail manually: /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart the problem is solved and email is correctly delivered without any Relay denials. Any idea what this can be? And how to get this right immediately after boot up? Thanks, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Add this line to your .xinitrc file xdpyinfo -display :0.0 The hostname is not specified. --Duane Hi Duane, I put the line you suggest into .xinitrc, but I still have the same problem. I also went into /etc/hosts after doing this and tried two ways of setting hosts: 1. 127.0.0.1 localhost xenon 2 127.0.0.1 localhost But I am still seeing the "out of display lists" message. It seems like the xdpyinfo command does not do anything. The only thing that I have done which changes the error message is to set /etc/rc.conf hostname="xenon" Then in .bash_profile put "DISPLAY=xenon:0.0 export DISPLAY" Then I get the different error message: "_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for xenon:6000: hostname nor servname provided, or not known Error: Can't open display: xenon:0.0" So I guess now I have tried every combination of the following: setting hostname in rc.conf to either "" or "xenon" setting "DISPLAY=xenon:0.0" or leaving that line out in .bash_profile And finally, putting in xinitrc "xdpyinfo -display :0.0 or just leaving that line out. So I am still baffled.

Just a wild guess, since I don't see why you should have problems running programs like: Can't open display: xenon:0.0 Are you running X11 as a plain user and having problems to run programs *after* using su(1) to become root or does this happen for all users in all terminals? - Giorgos Hi Giorgos, I am trying to run a program from xterm as a normal user. However, when su'ing in xterm, I am unable to run any programs. Then I get the error: "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0 setting for csh as root: setenv DISPLAY xenon:0.0 then gives the error message: _XTransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for xenon:6000: hostname nor server name provided, or not known Error: Can't open display xenon:0.0 I seem to remember never being able to su in xterm and be able to run any programs no matter what combination of settings I have used. I also think that the error messages might have been different but I am starting to lose track of the error messages for combinations of settings for hostname, DISPLAY, etc. I probably need to start putting all of this down on paper so I can find any patterns.

Here are all of the steps which I have just done: I. I copied /usr/src/etc/hosts to /etc/hosts. Now it looks like: ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain everything else is commented out 2. I confirmed that hostname="xenon" is still in rc.conf 3. I checked /root/.cshrc has no Xorg related commands in it, just a couple of aliases that I added to the original file. 4. The user .bash_profile no longer has the "DISPLAY=xenon:0.0 export DISPLAY" in it. The .xinitrc no longer has the xdpyinfo -display :0.0 line in it. 5. I rebooted. Sendmail starts up fine now. 6. So I started up Xorg and I get the errors on startup: bad display name "xenon:0 in "list" command and then upon Xorg shutdown: bad display name "xenon:0" in "remove" command 7. I gave the command "xhost +localhost" at the xterm prompt I get: localhost being added to access control
