Issues with Link Aggregation
Hello Freebsd-Questions, I have an Asus laptop running FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p4. I have successfully configured both the wired and wireless interfaces. They both work individually. I use the wireless interface more than the wired, so I have attempted to us link aggregation (LAGG) to tie the two together so either can be used when connected. lagg and iwn have been added into a custom compiled kernel. FreeBSD on this Asus uses alc0 for the wired interface and iwn(wlan0) for the wireless interface. The following is in my rc.conf: ifconfig_alc0=up wlans_iwn0=wlan0 ifconfig_wlan0=up wpa cloned_interfaces=lagg0 ifconfig_lagg0=laggproto failover laggport wlan0 laggport alc0 ipv4_addrs_lagg0=192.168.2.90/24 defaultrouter=192.168.2.1 hostname=asus.local Looking at various documentation shows this should support wlan0 as the master and alc0 as the failover. Everything is working like it should. However, every so often, I get messages on the console stating: alc0: phy read timeout : 0 alc0: phy read timeout : 17 alc0: phy read timeout : 1 ... alc0: phy read timeout : 1 Even though this is happening, there doesn't appear to be any issues. Can anyone shed light on why these messages are showing up? -- If at first you don't succeed, so much for skydiving. ___ 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: vmware timekeeping
On Sat, 07 Jun 2008 09:30:27 -0400 Peter Thoenen [EMAIL PROTECTED] confabulated: I run FreeBSD 7.0 inside VMware Workstation-6.0.4 (ACE Edition) and I don't have to setup anything. The time is the always same as the host How long do you keep it up though Odhiambo and how intensive are you using your native OS? I have a similar setup and while it sync's on boot, I routinely lose 15 minutes a day (I keep it up 24x7). I think it is not so much a bug in VMware as opposed to the host OS running slower than it thinks (e.g. maybe a second of OS time is really 1.01 seconds of real time adding up over long periods) if the native OS is under moderate to heavy use. I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE within Vmware v6.0.4 build 93057 with the host OS being XP-Home-SP2. I also have two jails running within the FreeBSD VM. I have within /boot/loader.conf: kern.hz=50 And within root's crontab: PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin @reboot ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org I do not have the Vmware tools loaded. Nor do I have ntpd running. Time has not been a big issue. The host OS (XP) is used more than average for the irreplaceable Windoe$ software I have yet to find replacements for native to FreeBSD. I just decided to do an ntpdate and here are the results: plz# ntpdate -b us.pool.ntp.org 7 Jun 17:04:06 ntpdate[57748]: step time server 208.53.158.34 offset 2.433443 sec plz# uptime 4:59PM up 6 days, 18:47, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- If at first you don't succeed, so much for skydiving! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The web mail interface is SquirrelMail installed on a different FreeBSD server and has the sasql plugin interfaced to the MySQL server so the customers have control over what they want to set their spam score, whitelist, blacklist, whether they want bayes filtering, whether they want bayes autolearn and so forth.

I couldn't find anything in the man page that explained what would happen if the mount point for the dump was inaccessible at dump time.

Thanks in advance Jeff K If you install Postfix from the ports collection: /usr/ports/mail/postfix toward the end of the install process, it will ask you if you wish for the install to make changes in /etc/mail/mailer.conf. You tell it yes. If it did not ask, /etc/mail/mailer.conf should look like this: sendmail/usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail This is what so-to-speak plugs Postfix into the OS. To totally disable SendMail from running at startup after a reboot, you have to make some additions to the /etc/rc.conf config file. Namely, you have to add: sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO Also, there are some periodic things that are ran which are SendMail specific that need to be disabled. That is done within /etc/periodic.conf as such: daily_clean_hoststat_enable=NO daily_status_mail_rejects_enable=NO daily_status_include_submit_mailq=NO daily_submit_queuerun=NO O.K. This is something I have not been aware of. As far as MTA's on any system I am somewhat of a newbe. I do get regular e-mails to the root accounts of my various (four) systems when they are running constantly, (two are) and I have been wondering how a switch over will effect that. I will need to do a system specific configuration of postfix and define system specific aliases, prevent public use of the servers for open relaying and such. So I expect for a first timer I have my work cut out for me. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Jeff K (I'm not looking to spam anyone) Postfix can use the existing /etc/aliases file. As this is getting to be more off-topic from FreeBSD, I would suggest subscribing to the Postfix mailing list: http://www.postfix.org/lists.html and poking around the archives. Also, the documentation is very well put together: http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html You may also want to consider grabbing a copy of The book of postfix: http://nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=postfix_rev It can be obtained either in paper or electronic format. I have the pdf sitting on my 'desktop' for a readily available reference. It has helped me out in answering a vast number of questions I had without the aide of the mailing list. -- _|_ (_| | ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know why, in FreeBSD, even though you install postfix it will appears as sendmail. Will this become any problem? All of the available MTAs will do that, because the standard Unix API for an application to send e-mail is for that app to pipe the message into the STDIN of /usr/sbin/sendmail. Alternative MTAs have always therefore provided a high degree of sendmail compatibility and expect to have binaries either installed as or linked to /usr/sbin/sendmail. Unlike most other Unix or unix-oid systems, FreeBSD has a slightly more sophisticated variation on this. /usr/sbin/sendmail is actually a wrapper program and not Sendmail Brand sendmail(tm) at all -- see mailwrapper(8) for details. Simply by editing the configuration file /etc/mail/mailer.conf you can switch between sendmail-from-the-base-system, sendmail-from-ports, exim, postfix, qmail, ssmtp and probably half a dozen others. mailer.conf also covers a number of other sendmail related commands like newaliases(1) and hoststat(8). The sendmail binary provided by the base system is installed as /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail Correct. And if you install Postfix from the ports collection, it will ask you if you want Postfix installed into the mailer.conf. Therefore, if the OP did not install through the ports, the mailer.conf might not have been changed. Either way, the logs the OP was showing are not Posfix. I just did a quick test from a terminal using sendmail and this is what it looks like: Sep 12 11:54:11 duane postfix/local[71012]: 673D66D437: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], orig_to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=local, delay=7.8, delays=7.7/0.02/0/0.02, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) None of the logs that were shown bare the Postfix name. -- _|_ (_| | ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Periodically I get duplicated messages in email folders I have defined and have rules set up for. For an example, I am subscribed to the Postfix email list. I have a rule that is set as such: Recip pattern = postfix-users ...

According to http://www.washington.edu/pine the latest version of Pine is 4.64. If I remove ALL rules from Pine, I have absolutely no issues with duplicate messages. I can actually verify the messages are duplicated. I have saved them off into files and used the diff command. Does anyone know why this would be occurring?

Question about stopping jails...
I have a FreeBSD server running 6.2 that has two jails configured. As they currently sit, they work perfectly fine. The only issue I currently have is stopping them using the conventional method: /etc/rc.d/jail stop jail_name It seems the jails do not stop even though the id files within: /var/run/jail_jail_name.id cease to exist after the stop. 'jls' even shows the two jails as still running. They both are running BIND and do have sshd enabled. After the stop has been issued, you can not ssh into the jails which gives the illusion the jails have stopped. However, you can still access the jails from the server running them using: jexec jail_id /bin/sh Can someone give me some insight on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks, Mikel I believe that was fairly recently decided, last six months sticks in my head. I'm probably wrong. Since we are in Indiana we just had to convert all our servers to DST last summer.

I am not convinced that the DST rules will not change again and playing catch up with politicians is not a good use of my techs time. I noticed Yahoo switched to GMT. Is anyone else running all their servers on GMT? We are all GMT here on over 18 servers. Of them, five are FreeBSD. I have been running everything I touch in GMT for over eight years now.
