RE: Problems with IPFW causing failed DNS and FTP sessions
My DNS config is pretty generic. I did try putting in the options to stop
recursive lookups, but all that did was cause even more failures (permission
denied lookups, etc...), so I removed that.
Here's my basic config;
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file"/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
I'm not sure the problem is specific to named, but something more systemic
with IPFW like I said, FTP sessions are timing out as well, and when I
turn off IPFW that fixes that problem too.
Is there any way to monitor what IPFW is dropping, by some sort of counters
rather than logging everything, and see what's going on internally to IPFW?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: Problems with IPFW causing failed DNS and FTP sessions
Okay, what's your DNS setup? Are you running a recursive cache that
contacts the root servers directly? Using your ISP's servers? Etc.
As a mitigation step, I tried pointing my caches to 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4. - but it turns out that Google is intentionally blocking
(returning NX responses to) many netblocks right now because they
contain hosts known to be part of the botnet in the DDOS DNS
amplification attack.
I'm mirroring the root zone everywhere I have a cache, and it's helping.

At first glance, your stateful rules seem rather wrong, unless there's a check-state above. Also, in and out aren't discriminating enough - every packet is seen by the ruleset more than once. You should think in terms of interfaces, direction, etc. Are you doing NAT? Stateful rules with NAT are indeed possible, but subtle. Your problem has nothing to do with server load, and probably everything to do with not-terribly-well-conceived ruleset.

Problems with IPFW causing failed DNS and FTP sessions
Hi everyone. recently my server started having issues with DNS and FTP sessions either not resolving or timing out. I've tracked the issue down to IPFW. if I issue a 'sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.enable=0' then my issues go away. I have the basic rules like this for dns; 01160 allow udp from any to any dst-port 53 in keep-state 01161 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 53 in keep-state 01162 allow udp from any to any dst-port 53 out keep-state 01163 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 53 out keep-state When I try an nslookup sometimes they fail, sometimes they get through, even if I change my DNS server to google, my ISP, or even OpenDNS. the firewall seems to be causing the issue. I have about 65 rules in all. Any ideas what could be causing this? My server load is low, usually hovering around .2 How can I look at the actual amount of traffic that the IPFW module is processing and track down potential performance issues? My server isn't pushing much data, only around 4-5 Mbps sustained.

RE: [PHP] RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping / Can't Build Port - FreeBSD 6.1
This is _exactly_ what I did, and as soon as I try a 'make all-depend-list' the error shows up. I don't even have the X11 system installed (it's a headless server, with no GUI). This is on a CLEAN 6.1 install, without any upgrades/patches, just straight off the ISO install and after a portsnap install/extract. I tried building it _before_ I updated the ports and it would build a 5.1.2 php ok, but I need 5.2.12.

RE: [PHP] RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping / Can't Build Port - FreeBSD 6.1
Ok.. just for grins I installed a new instance of 6.1, NO Patches, just straight off the ISO... I loaded the ports that came WITH the distro, and was able to make php 5.1.2 ok... When I did a portsnap fetch, portsnap extract, then went into the /usr/ports/lang/php5 and just typed make I get the same error... SO as it seems, the port is broken, at least for working with FreeBSD 6.1. Can anyone give me some hints on how to build this sucker by hand?

RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
Well, I hadn't edited the Makefiles, I was planning on it (but won't now that you pointed out the make option), but never got past making the generic port I tried adding WITHOUT_X11=yes to /etc/make.conf as well as X11BASE= and X11BASE="", but I still get the same error. Where to go from here? Do I have and old version of something that is causing this? I get this error _right away_ before anything is even built.

RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
Ok... well, your idea is a good one, but it seems that the port is broken.
I did a port update, which brought in the latest php build info from
December, but when I run 'make' (without even editing the Makefile to add my
own other modules I need) I get this:
X11BASE is now deprecated. Unset X11BASE in make.conf and try again.
*** Error code 1
Not even sure where it's getting that error message from, since I can't find
any reference to X11BASE in any of the files in the package, or in my env.
Any ideas?

Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
Ok... more info on the problem...
I started with a clean untarred archive, ad just ran ./configure, make, make
test I get a core dump.
After running gdb on the core dump I noticed it was the sqlite stuff that
was dumping, so I re-ran configure with --without-sqlite
--without-pdo-sqlite --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
Now the gdb shows this:
Core was generated by `php'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x081d50a7 in sqlite3Select (pParse=0xbbc00080, p=0x0, eDest=164102200,
iParm=0, pParent=0x24, parentTab=139141440, pParentAgg=0x84c10d8,
aff=0x0)
at
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/php-5.2.11/ext/pdo_sqlite/sqlite/src/sel
ect.c:3172
3172 for(j=0; jnExpr; j++){
First off, the compile directory listed is wrong, don't know where it got
php-5.2.11 from, that's the last version I built and is installed on this
system. Maybe it's pulling that from the system php?
Secondly, even though I've told it not to use sqlite, it still seems to be.
Any help here would be appreciated in moving forward. My whole reason for
needing to rebuild php is I need the pdo_mysql module instead of the
pdo_sqlite version.
Thanks!

You all hit the nail right on the head. I had added the
sendmail_enable line before, but in my pushing and shoving in emacs I
seem to have deleted it again. Many thanks to all of you for your
patience and support! :D

sendmail CLIENT_OPTIONS
Hello, folks - I am setting up the sendmail on my 7.2-STABLE system, and I cannot get it to listen to my live server address besides the localhost. I've added CLIENT_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Addr=64.156.192.103, Name=MTA')dnl directly above the DAEMON_OPTIONS lines (after the FEATUREs), recompiled with make -C, and copied the domain-specific cf to sendmail.cf. I've reviewed the old docs on /usr/share/sendmail/cf and the newer ones on /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf that were referenced in the manual. Sendmail starts correctly, so the m4 compilation was successful, but it is still only listening on 127.0.0.1:25 according to netstat -atn. This seems to be more of a newbie issue than a STABLE issue, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I just updated to fix the null issue, but I don't see anything in either UPDATING file. If you need more configs, please forgive me for not including them. No other changes have been made to the mc file.

What I need to do is build an identical server to that one and test it all out locally. Since the drive is currently 500 miles away it will take me some time, but I'll see what I can do. I'll also check my BIOS settings to make sure the RAID is disabled. I'm almost positive it is, but who knows.

The hardware I have is the built in SATA controller on the motherboard,
which is GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3. With the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 and
Super I/O chip: ITE IT8716.
Dmesg had no output pertaining to the partition/format/dd, etc... Just
messages from my ftp daemon. If you're wanting to see the boot messages,
this is from the last time I rebooted when I installed the disk:

Greetings, All - I want to set up an account for my boy that he can use freely with the exception that I can turn off his Internet access at will from my root-privilege account. It would be nice if I could also set up a limited-access constraint that would allow him some domains with a white-list file. I'm using KDE4 on 7-STABLE. I need the rest of the accounts to remain connected, so a simple ifconfig is not appropriate. He's not experienced enough (yet :) to be able to reconfigure things for himself, so if there's a KDE config that I can use that'll be fine. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

It appears that there are no options that will allow that port to build due to a showstopper in libxine that portaudit complains about. The weblink appears to say that it's fixed in this version, but it appears that there's no way around it.

RE: Building a SAN using FreeBSD
Well, that's is a possibility, but seems a bit of a hack to me... The SAN device would be interfaces to another FreeBSD box so there's no need for Samba... what I'm looking for is a way to extend 1 file system to an infinite size by adding additional devices/network boxes, like what is available from HP and the bigger players, based on a journaled file system. Multiple disks basically added together like RAID, but in a software/hardware setup to create one large volume (and single file system). The use would be for web services... so when a particular volume fills up I can extend it by adding disks and not have to move home directories to different file systems, etc... _ From: Derek Ragona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 2:14 PM To: Don O'Neil; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Building a SAN using FreeBSD At 04:00 PM 10/6/2007, Don O'Neil wrote: Anyone have any resources for building a FreeBSD based SAN device?

OpenSSL/PHP/Apache problem
Any time I compile PHP 4.4.7 with --with-ssl my apache 1.3.39 server core dumps on start up on my FreeBSD 6.1 dual core AMD X2 box (in 32 bit mode). Anyone have a work around for this or suggestions where to look/try? I was having a similar problem with Curl, but once I told curl where the OpenSSL home dir was and re-built it that solved that problem. The location of my openSSL is /usr/local, so it's in the 'default' location. I ran the core through gdb, and that is what prompted me to isolate the problem to --with-ssl.

Correct.
quote:
As each message is retrieved, fetchmail normally delivers it via SMTP
to port 25 on the machine it is running on (localhost), just as though
it were being passed in over a normal TCP/IP link. fetchmail provides
the SMTP server with an envelope recipient derived in the manner
described previously. The mail will then be delivered locally via your
system's MDA (Mail Delivery Agent, usually sendmail(8) but your system
may use a different one such as smail, mmdf, exim, postfix, or qmail).
All the delivery-control mechanisms (such as .forward files) normally
available through your system MDA and local delivery agents will there-
fore work automatically.
If no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail configuration
was told about a reliable local MDA, it will use that MDA for local
delivery instead.

Strange port 80 access problem
I have a very strange access problem that just popped up this morning. For whatever reason, my machine at home over my cable modem can no longer access Apache on port 80... However other services are accessible elsewhere (Direct Admin control panel, FTP, SMTP,etc...) BUT Apache is accessible to other devices, not on my IP... It seems as though there is some sort of IP block on me, but I can't seem to find anything in the logs to confirm this. I don't have a 'deny from' in any .htaccess files... What could be going on? I'm running apache 1.3.39, and FreeBSD 6.1. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: Server rebooting itself
I did some digging... I too had bought the machine built by an integrator... They however used DDR2 RAM that is 2.0V where as the motherboard spec calls for 1.8V DDR2. I'm betting that is what my problem is, so I ordered some DDR2 that was listed on the compatibility list from the MB mfctr. I'm hoping that, as well as the BIOS update solves everything. I'll let everyone know my result just for their own information. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Vleij Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 1:07 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Server rebooting itself Don O'Neil wrote: Don, > This happens randomly every 3-20 days (no apparent pattern). > Any suggestions on what to check next?

RE: Server rebooting itself
We tried that, 2 different PS's and no change, so I don't think that is what it is. I'm thinking its either a BIOS issue, or _maybe_ memory. There may be 1 bad cell somewhere in RAM that gets randomly hit and causes a reset. I'm going to try upgrading the BIOS, and then if that doesn't work, put in new ram from a different manufacturer. I've heard of MB/RAM combo problems before. The ram we have in there isn't cheap, but is by no means 'top shelf'. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 8:29 PM To: Marwan Sultan Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Server rebooting itself > > > I tried installing 'mbmon' port, but when I run mbmon -d I get: > > > > > > mbmon -d > > > InitMBInfo: Operation not permitted This program needs "setuid > > > root"!! > > > > > > The SUID flag is set, and I'm running it from root.

One of my requirements was it had to be put on the net for me to check remotely. SOMEHOW I got the idea to compile perl to put the machine through its paces. (Don't remember how/why/etc). Once machine I was doing it on and all of a sudden the compile fails. WEIRD. So I try a few more times.. Dies in the same place every time. . The integrator swaps this, that, the other things, to the point only 2 things weren't swapped. Case and power supply. Swaps the power supply, thing builds fine. Next machine, it starts failing again. I asked if he used the power supply from last time and he told me "YES". I offered to BUY the power supply and throw it in the garbage. SO, long story short (TOO LATE), WEIRD WEIRD STUFF can happen with a seemingly good power supply.

Server rebooting itself
I have a 6.1 machine (AMD X2-5200) that reboots itself from time to time for no apparent reason. Today, I caught it in a reboot and on the console it said it was shutting down the CPU's, like someone had hit control-alt-delete on it (the same message)... But there is no keyboard attached to it, and nobody was logged in. This happens randomly every 3-20 days (no apparent pattern). I originally thought it was the 3ware controller causing it, but there was no correlation. I tried installing 'mbmon' port, but when I run mbmon -d I get: mbmon -d InitMBInfo: Operation not permitted This program needs "setuid root"!! The SUID flag is set, and I'm running it from root. I am wondering if there is a possible power supply issue, or something like that. I swapped the PS some time ago for a bigger one, but that didn't change anything. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get mbmon to work I'd love to hear them. The MB is GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 GF6100 AM2, which uses the nforce4 chipset. I'm not even sure if mbmon works with that newer chipset or not. I'm suspecting power problems further upstream (at the data center) but I have no way of knowing.

Sorry, I should have paid closer attention to your question and actually looked at the code to see what they were doing in this specific case. They original args, including argv[0], are passed as args parameter to execve. So from the perspective of the called application, the original argv[0] is now argv[1].

It checks argv[0], i.e., the name used to invoke it. Here's a simple program
demostrating it:
#include
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::cout << "my name is: " << argv[0] << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Save it to a file and do the following:
$ c++ -o foo file.cxx
$ ./foo
my name is: ./foo
$ mv foo bar
$ ./bar
my name is: ./bar

Memory >3.5GB not used?
I just built a new server with an Athlon 64 x2, 4GB Ram and a Gigabyte/Nvidia motherboard. When I boot the system up it says on the console that 532888K will be ignored. Of course it isn't put in any of the log files. Dmesg shows this: real memory = 3724476416 (3551 MB) avail memory = 3649908736 (3480 MB) Any reason the extra 1/2 GB isn't showing up or usable? Is there something I need to specify in the kernel to get to the other 1/2 GB? What if I want to install more than 4GB? This mobo supports up to 16 GB... Do I need to go to the AMD64 platform to get >4GB? I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 i386 SMP kernel. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Problem with Quotacheck after crash
This question is related to my recent question about not being able to delete files after a disk crash... I solved that problem with the chflags (the no-delete flag was set!).. Thanks for all who suggested it. Now that I've deleted the files, I thought this problem would go away, but its not: quotacheck: /home/quota.user: seek failed: Invalid argument THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: /dev/twed0s1d (/home) I've run an fsck on the volume from single user mode, after deleting the files, and it was clean, but I still get this error. I deleted the quota.user & quota.group files because they were corrupted when the crash happened. I'm at a loss as to what to do next, any suggestions? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Unable to delete files/directories - bogus user/group ID's
I had a crash on a disk array last week that was severe enough that fsck wouldn't fix it, even in single user mode. So, I was forced to suck off the good data, and restore the bad stuff from backups. However there are 2 directories that contain files/directories which have bogus user & group ID's that the system just won't let me do anything to. I can delete them, cant rename them, cant move them, cant chmod/chown, cant cat to them, nothing... I just get "Operation not permitted". Here's a sample of one of them: ---xrx 1 2761022747 1016642816 0 Apr 19 15:35 Video d--s---rw- 2 3251161791 726015594 512 Apr 19 15:41 .shrc Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of these files? I've done an fsck from single user mode and that doesn't come up with anything. Short of copying all the data over to a new volume sans these files and then reformatting the old volume and then moving the good files back what can I do? Any assistance would be appreciated. I'd also like to thank everyone who browses this group and regularly posts responses... Without you guys some of us would never get the help and knowledge we need!

Does anyone know how to get a nVidia GeForce 6100/430 Realtek 8211 Gig-E interface to work on FreeBSD 6.1? Loading the standard nVidia lan drivers doesn't work, nor does anything in the generic kernel. Is there a patch/driver for this device? The MB is a Gigabyte M61P-S3.

Migrating from i386 to AMD64
I've currently got a production server in place that I want to do some hardware upgrades on. We're currently running a Dual P3 1.4 GHz and I plan on replacing it with an AMD X2-5200+ cpu/mb. Now.. Can I just use the same SMP kernel I have currently (assuming the correct drivers are loaded) for the X2 processor if I just want to run it in 32 bit mode? Or do I need to do a complete re-install/upgrade to the AMD64 platform version of FreeBSD? I'm not worried about memory usage past 4 GB (that's all we're installing), or the slight (possible) increase in speed from using the native 64 bit stuff. Are there any issues I should be aware of? Of course I'm going to bench test everything with an image of the production server, just to be sure, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I start. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
