php problems
A few years ago (2011) I set up an email system for a small internet based company. I used postfix with a mysql backend for virtual accounts. I also set up apache to test a php based webmail front-end. I set up several php scripts that would run from cron that would query a database and look for new email account requests and then do a variety of tasks to get everything set up properly. After I left, someone else made modifications to the system and things stopped working properly. A few months ago I was asked to try and get things working again. I discovered that all php scripts now generate a seg fault. I tried a simple hello world type program the actual code is : ?php echo test ? and the output was; testsegmentation fault The system is FreeBSD 8.2 and php 5.3 If anyone has any idea of what changes might have been made that could cause this, please let me know. My other thought was to try reinstalling / upgrading php.

However, I haven't seen definitive tests on scaling that far. Last I saw, somewhere in the 6 to 8 core range, you really hit the point of diminishing returns. If you are doing lots of jails, I would suggest splitting up 'sets' of jails and limiting them to run on a group of specific cores. In the above configuration, you could have 8 groups of 8 cpu-cores, each handling a specific set of jails.

Re: VIMAGE (slightly off topic)

At the end of the line the question is: how can I make this virtual network and the external real network be able to communicate ? Thanks in advance. Pietro. 1. That link is from 2007. So very much has changed since then. There are more current links on the internet about this subject. Most are for 8.X releases. 2. If your running 8.2-RELEASE or 9.1-RELEASE all you need to add is options vimage statement to your kernel source and recompile. 3. There are 2 networking methods available for creating vnet/vimage jail networks, if_bridge/epair and netgraph. The if_bridge/epair method is far simpler to config and use then the netgraph method. 4. There are 2 methods of jail setup, the rc.d method where your jail definition parameters go into the hosts rc.conf and the jail(8) method where you can place each jails definition parameter in separate files. 5. There are two very important show stopper PRs on vimage, 164763 memory leak and 149050 the rc.d keyword nojail problem. Vimage is a very long way from prime time usage, thats why it's labeled as highly experimental. Host system freezes and page faults are common. 6. When it comes to running a firewall in a vnet/vimage jail your limited to IPFW and it has limitations. Dummynet and in kernel NAT cause system freezes. IPFILTER causes page fault at boot time. PF will run on the host but not run in the vnet/vimage jail.

pf rdr (redirect) syntax solved
My apologies for posting an answer without a question but this is something I want searchable in the future. To use redirection ( rdr ) in pf, you MUST specify an ip address or interface. For example, if you want to force external traffic coming in on port 80 to port 443 and write this; rdr on $interface inet proto tcp from ! $internal_addresses to $interface port 80 - port 443 it FAILS! The PROPER syntax is; rdr on $interface inet proto tcp from ! $internal_addresses to $interface port 80 - $interface port 443 I hope this helps someone...

I am Running a mail server (postfix / dovecot) on FreeBSD 8.1
I have 6 different domain names configured with 6 different ip addresses.

My guess is that it might be sshguard but I see nothing in the logfiles.
I can ping to the TLD, mx records, etc check out. Everything works
except for my .org and .info domain

By telling it no here, you've instructed SSH to treat the host key as invalid;
the connection will be closed.
shell$ ssh -l LoginName mail.domain_3.org
ssh: connect to host mail.domain_3.org port 22: Connection refused
shell$
There's no such domain as mail.domain_3.org in the public DNS.
Presumably you've changed this information; all I can conclude is that
whichever IP address the actual name resolves to isn't running SSH (or it's not
listening on that particular IP, or a firewall is blocking it, etc).

I changed it but here are the actual hostnames:

OT: Security question (openssl vs openssh)
Everyone, I am looking into setting up a webserver to hold some very sensitive information. I am trying to figure out which is more secure, forcing any web connections to be done using an ssh tunnel or forcing ssl. I have not been able to figure out if one is definitively much more secure than another or if they are close to the same. I would have initially thought the ssh tunnel was more secure but knowing that ssl can use AES-256, I am now wondering if that isn't adding a complexity for little extra security.

E-Mail scaling question
Hello All, My company needs a [new] e-mail solution for a product rollout. Rather than have a few e-mail domains with lots of addresses, the solution we need is for a very few (mostly one, very rarely more than 3) accounts on upwards of tens of thousands of domains. I can't find any info on scaling sendmail or postfix to this many domains. If anyone has any info, knowledge, horror stories, etc. It would be greatly appreciated Also, I am assuming that to play nice, we need a dedicated IP per domain, so I may have to survive setting that up before I even get to the e-mail.

Fwd: Help with KDE Policykit system-settings
Apologies for the cross-post. All help is appreciated. I just installed Freebsd 8.1 amd64 with the kde 4.45 package. I am trying to get the PolicyKit to work with hal using the kde policyKit 'manager'. I have tried both running as root or using su. In both cases, when I pull up the (KDE) PolicyKit screen, it does not allow me to change anything. The modify settings is greyed out in the default area section, even if I change something and if I try and grant a user privilages, the Grant button stays disabled after I choose a user. Any idea how I can get this to work? Is there some system setting I have forgotten? Thanks in advance.

OT 8.1 Release Status
I noticed that the 8.1 release status page hasn't been updated since the 4th. I know the team is very close to the release. The last indication is that the geom system needs work. Can someone update the page? I hate to send Is it done yet? sorts of e-mails so I keep checking the release update page http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/8.1TODO , but there was supposed to be a release on the 9th and I thought it might be time to ask for the page to be updated... (Note: I do not want to push the team. I know as a developer I put more pressure on myself to finish things than others, and I hate the idea of a 'regular release schedule'. When things are ready, it will be released. Just wondering how things are going...)

problems with Policykit in KDE4.3 on Freebsd 8 amd64
Apologies for the cross posting. I recently did a fresh install of Freebsd 8 , amd64. I then added Xorg and KDE (4.3) from the sysinstall packages system. I read about policykit, which seems really cool. I set-up PolicyKit in the KDE systems settings and things worked great (adding USB drives), until I rebooted. Now it doesn't really work. It seems to me that even though KDE saved my settings, it isn't initializing something at boot or login. Does anyone know what needs to be done? Do I need to use kdm? Add a line to rc.conf? I am pretty good at Freebsd but getting KDE4 subsystems working is still a little mysterious. Any and all help appreciated. thanks in advance Mark Moellering m...@msen.com ___ 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

Ok now that you have all let off steam about the off topic of desktop verses ms/windows lets return the meaning of the original poster. I spent this weekend playing with kde4 as root and had problems with it not working. Could not change the displayed time to from 20.00.00 to 8:00PM When I changed the resolution from the default to 800x600 and the refresh rate to 60.0 many of the applications did not auto fit to the new setting and the change would not carry over between logons. Some times the desktop just froze up and had to do alt-ctrl-backspace to force return to command line. When I changed the font type and size to use, the change would not carry over between logons. Could not find a way to remove items from the menu. Some icons would not display at all. Koffice was missing. Not all the application use the new window format which has the option to return to menu that launched it. Only has x out to return to desktop screen. Bottom line is imho kde4 is not stable, is not ready for general use. Needs more development and testing. Should only be contained in the development ports category. I submit to the court of pulic opinion that KDE4 *IS* stable on FreeBSD. I would encourage you to check out the following resources http://freebsd.kde.org http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4 Certainly, if my word is not good enough, the nice folks over at PC-BSD, http://www.pcbsd.org, sure have bundled up a nice package based on FreeBSD 7 and KDE4. Thomas I have used KDE-4 While some of the graphics are much better looking, I thought it lacked some functionality. These are minor issues but several of the old (KDE 3.5.X) control panel options were not available (or I couldn't find them) and figuring out where to set certain options was not that intuitive for me. I never found a central location for settings, it seemed that each control (menu, taskbar, etc) had it's own 'right click' sort of settings page. The small thing that truly bugged me is that I normally only display programs for the current desktop in the taskbar, but there was a small control that you could select that would display all windows on all desktops (I forget its official name). I used it alot to make sure I didn't forget something running, etc. I couldn't find this taskbar control in KDE 4. The other problems I had dealt with thrid-party programs. There is no (at least as of a few months ago) K3B for KDE-4 and no FreeBSD port of Ktorrent for KDE-4. I tried the linux port but had lots of problems. Also, to start you need to give an explicit path, something like /usr/local/kde-4/bin/startkde in the .xinitrc file. (at least I could never get anything else to work) I ultimately changed back to the 3.5.9(?) version from packages. I am using an intel quad core running amd64 FreeBSD 7.0 Release Hope this helps.

Now that I am using the amd64 system, I can't run win4bsd, wine, etc. except in a jail. I would prefer to keep X and everything else native amd64 with only the jail i386 as I have not used jails before and I don't want to get bogged down with more details. Which brings me back to my original question or am I going about this all wrong? Thanks again for everyones prompt replies.

(I have dual boot system andthese are the settings I use) obviously, if you are not mounting as root, you have to make sure you can mount as a user...

Definite showstopper, for me. Ok, then I tried to use the linuxpluginwrapper approach, and it didn't work. It made me recall, in reading up on FreeBSD, I did see where somebody installed both Firefox and Linx-firefox. So before I do battle with this Linux wrapper approach, I wondered if I would be better off simply installing the Linux-firefox? Is that easier? More likely to work? Does it perform almost as well as the native FreeBSD version? Any input would be appreciated. John John, I posed a similar question on this list a short time ago. Right now, the only 'Flash' working on either Linux or native is Flash 7, which does not work on many sites. To get Flash 9, you need to use wine under freebsd and install the windows version of Firefox. I have been told that this solution works fine out of the box on FreeBSD 6.2 but I have not yet confirmed.

If you replace it with mbr, you will be left with just the boot manager on ad0 and save yourself a headache.

Re: Convince me, please!
There is a lot to your question that you may not realize. I think before answering your question, a brief discussion of computers is appropriate. A computer is a phenomenally complex system of parts. If you go to the website of a major Motherboard manufacturer, you will see a huge list of specifications; including chipsets, ports (USB, ethernet, firewire) connectors (SATA, EIDE, SCSI, etc) and so on. The operating system has to know how to talk to all these different systems. There is no real standard for all these parts, although many of the basic components are somewhat standardized, there are specific drivers for USB, ethernet, drive connectors and especially video. Windows does an excellent job of running on almost any hardware. (how well it runs is up for debate) FreeBSD is also pretty good at running on just about any hardware, however, you may need to do some file manipulation to get your video display soundcard or some other peripherals to work. Depending on what hardware you are running, FreeBSd may load and have you up and running with a windows like desktop with a minimum of fuss. If you need to edit and recompile your kernel or hand edit your X windows configuration file , it will become a nightmare. [ or to put it in english; if you have to specify a special driver so that the Operating System knows how to talk to a particular component of your computer, then you need to change the kernel, which controls all of the general hardware of a computer. Unix systems are designed to be a command line OS. The 'X' windows system is what generates the GUI. If you have a non-standard video card and/or monitor, you may need to specify things like horizontal and vertical refresh rates for the monitor, special settings for the video card driver, and other information found in a configuration file to get the GUI to run. ] The general philosophy of most FreeeBSD users is that we are willing to spend time learning about the inner workings of the OS to get the computer to do what we want. From your e-mail, it sounds like you are looking for something that will install as easily as windows and that is not FreeBSD. I would suggest you look at http://www.openoffice.org, if you haven't already, which will show you some alternatives to the standard MS software that you can run on windows. I hope this helps Mark Moellering Psyberation, inc. P.S. I tried to keep the hardware discussion at a basic level and i will ignore any messages pointing out errors in my description of the kernel or X, etc ...

For instance, if I download and install FreeBSD, will I instantly have a desktop windowing environment that I can navigate in while I figure out what's going on?

I have a problem which I think must be simple, I just can't figure out
exactly what I need to do. I have a gateway / firewall (freebsd 6.1) with 3
nic cards. I just added the third card, rl1, which I have attached to a
wireless access point.
I can ping the access point from the firewall, but not from the rest of
the
internal (wired) network!!?? My wired network is 192.168.1 and the wireless
access point is currently the default 192.168.0.229. rl1 is set to
192.168.0.210
Attached are netstat -r, my pf.conf and rc.conf from the
firewall/gateway.
Any and all help is appreciated.

DNS discovery / FreeBSD Firewall
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 6.1 firewall (pf) between my cable-modem and router, with an IP address set by DHCP. My ISP recently changed their DNS server IP adresses which I have set manually on the computers on my home office network. The questions is; How do I have the internal network machines get the DNS server settings from the Firewall? The two scenarios I can think of are: that the Firewall also acts as a DHCP server and somehow set the DNS of the internal net machines to the Firewalls resolv.conf entries; or I can have the Firewall act as a DNS server/relay and forward the DNS requests. Is one of these preferable or easier than the other? Are there other ways to do this? I feel there must be someone on this list who is doing the same thing and has a solution or can at least point me in the right direction. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Re: FreeBSD Wireless Access Points with Atheros Cards
Nick, I tried this maybe a month back. I added an ath card to a firewall (becoming the third NIC) and set it up following the directions. While I could connect to the access point/firewall, I could not get to anything beyond it. After some reading, I decdied to buy a standalone access point and replace the wireless ath card with a wired card to use to connect to the access point. The standalone access point (Netgear) wasn't that much more than the card and from everything I have read is the better way to go. If you are able to sned data through the access point, I would love to hear about it...

Having read section 27.3.3.2 - Building a FreeBSD Access Point (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireles s.html) from the FreeBSD Handbook I duly advised my friend that they'd need to procure one of the Prism cards listed in the wi(4) man page, as, according to the Handbook, In order to set up a wireless access point with FreeBSD, you need to have a compatible wireless card. Currently, only cards with the Prism chipset are supported. When he got back to me the next day and said he couldn't find one in any major store and that he'd been told they were no longer available first-hand (whether all this is true or not, I'm not entirely sure - but it's not really all that relevant for the purposes of this question) I was a little surprised. After much more stuffing about, the ath(4) man page caught my eye and I found the magic sentence: Supported features include 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, IBSS, and host-based access point operation modes. I've subsequently set the thing up and it's now chugging away merrily in hostap mode with hostapd helping out with 802.11i shennanigans. It appears to be fully operational. My question, then, is this: Is the access point I've set up not actually functioning as an access point in the strictest sense of the term? Is the Handbook in need of a little attention in this area? I'll happily create a patch for the doc and submit a PR to have it updated, but just wanted to check before doing so that I'm not just being an idiot (I'm particularly good at that!).

Re: Problem with wireless card drivers
Do you still have the wlan device compiled in the kernel? I would also make sure to remove the ral device, as this is for the same chipset family but your card uses a newer version that the native ral driver does not support but I could imagine it might create difficulties. All I can think of... Mark Moellering On Monday 29 May 2006 7:23 am, Stefi wrote: Hi everyone I have Gigabyte GN-WP01GS wireless card that works perfect under Widows XP.

Everything works fine an I can see it like ndis0 using ifconfig. But, I can't change any setting using ifconfig. I can't access the card.

Re: Firewall with 3 NIC (1 wireless) problem
Dennis, Thanks so much for your help. Here is the ifconfig -v and netstat (a variety) from both the client and firewall. Both the client and the firewall have an ath0 (192.168.2.1 for firewall, 192.168.2.5 for the client) and a bge0 (192.168.1.1 for firewall, 192.168.1.2 for client). After booting the client, I disconnect the ethernet cable on the bge0 interface to force traffic over the wireless ath0. I am by no means a professional, I may have missed something or be doing something fairly obviously wrong.

Firewall with 3 NIC (1 wireless) problem
I am attempting to add a wireless capabilities to an existing network /
firewall structure. I added a wireless NIC card to the firewall (Netgear
WPN311) and followed the wireless instructions. I also added a similar card
to an existing computer (Netgear WG311T).
The Firewall's internal wired network is on 192.168.1.1 and the
Wireless card
is set to 192.168.2.1
The client computer can find the wireless network and I can ping the
wireless
card (192.168.2.1) However, I can get nowhere else. I cannot get to the
wired subnet nor outside access to the internet. I tried adding a bridge
from the wired to the wireless network interfaces but that did nothing. I
tried putting the wireless Nic to 192.168.1.249 but that made things worse.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Both client and firewall are running Freebsd 6.1 Relevant (that I can
think
of) files from the firewall are included...
Thanks in Advance.
