Long HTTP connection delays in LAN
Hello, I have a strange HTTP connectivity problem in my LAN. There is a FreeBSD 7.1 system that runs the httpd, a Vista system that I use to connect to it, and a Tomato 1.23 WRT54GL router between them. It often occurs that I can ping the FreeBSD system just fine, but HTTP connections get stuck for minutes on end. After they become unstuck, everything works normally for a while, and then the problem might come back. I know the httpd is running fine during those times because there are no delays connecting locally or from outside the LAN. It seems I also get similar delays when I try to connect to the router's web administration panel. There are so many variables that I'm not sure whether the problem lies with FreeBSD or something else. I'm hoping somebody with more networking experience could give me some hints about where to look, because I'm seriously stuck.

Re: Can't upgrade to 7.1-RELEASE
Thanks, that did the trick. I commented out the chflags and the script finished successfuly. That makes sense, since the kernel security level was -1, so chflags shouldn't matter.

Well, it looks like someone set the 'schg' flag on the .profile file. You need to do 'chgflags noscgg FILENAME' on the file - probably from root. jerry Best, R. http://dabas.untu.ms/ ___ 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 ___ 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: Can't upgrade to 7.1-RELEASE
I thought I should mention that I'm booting off of ZFS, perhaps that's related to my problem.

Reversing a ZFS mistake
Hello, It seems I've made a mistake using ZFS, and now my /usr/local/ is empty. I wanted to create a snapshot of a directory inside of it, so I ran zfs create tank/usr/local and zfs create tank/usr/local/www as I had seen in the guides I'd been using. That worked, but the filesystems created were empty. As I found out later, doing what I did on Solaris would have created the filesystems but not mounted them, but on FreeBSD they were mounted automatically, and the previous contents hidden. The question now is, how do I get my files back? The system is crippled without /usr/local/ and I can't unmount or destroy it, because it says that the device is busy. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: wireless losing connection periodically
hello,
I'm surprised that no one replied, but anyway, just an update: it
seems I've managed to resolve the problem with this short ifstated(8)
config:
==
# loglevel debug
ping = '(ping -q -c 1 -t 1 192.168.1.1 /dev/null every 10)'
state one {
if !$ping
set-state two
}
state two {
init {
run logger -p console.notice -t ifstated 'Restarting network!'
run /etc/rc.d/netif restart ral0
}
if $ping
set-state one
}
==
that's about it.
cheers,
reinis

hello,
I've noticed that my wireless connection tends to drop once in a while
and only restores itself after a relatively longish period. I'm
dealing with it now by connecting a laptop by wire (the box doesn't
have a screen or a keyboard) and running /etc/rc.d/netif restart
ral0, but that's a bother. googling didn't bring up any useful
results, so I'm wondering, what are the best ways to mitigate or fix
this (aside from using a wire)? I'm considering writing a simple
script that'd constantly ping my router and restart the wlan interface
if it stops responding, but perhaps there's something pre-made or more
simple than that available?
cheers,

Re: wpa_supplicant not starting with /etc/rc.d/netif
Sorry, I've found the problem. I hadn't noticed that I had two ifconfig_ral0 lines in my rc.conf, and the first one said only DHCP. *bangs head* Reinis -- http://untu.ms/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: wpa_supplicant not starting with /etc/rc.d/netif
Hi, James, It doesn't work with just DHCP, and I'm not sure you've read that correctly. All it says is that you don't have to run dhclient manually, and I'm not doing that anyway.

Regards, Reinis I've not done this, but the documentation says: Note: If the /etc/rc.conf is set up with the line ifconfig_ath0=DHCP then it is no need to run the dhclient command manually, dhclient will be launched after wpa_supplicant plumbs the keys. As such, I don't understand why you're running the ifconfig command in /etc/rc.conf with the extra WPA flag. Try making it read ifconfig_ral0=DHCP and see if that helps.
