Re: sendmail: stat=Deferred: Connection reset by local
Thank you Wojciech and Tim. Could not yet find the solution, but at least I got sendmail back delivering mail by reinstalling security/cyrus-sasl2 Don't know why nor how, but obviously there is some configuration left around that makes sendmail try to use some of sasl.. When I find the solution, I'll post it here. Best regards.

Roberto Nunnari wrote: Hello list. I have this scenario 1) host A with X server 2) host B with ssh server but without X server 3) host C with rsh server and X client programs but without X server (on host C there's also an ssh server, but in our case, users have to use rsh) Why rsh? Isn't ssh a drop-in replacement for rsh? The reason for using rsh instead of ssh is that it's a computing cluster. Host B is the master node and access point to the cluster, and host C is any one of the computing nodes. The cluster resources are managed by the Sun Grid Engine (SGE) and so users obtain the computing resources using the SGE interface. SGE under the cover uses rsh. I could search and see if it would possible to configure SGE so that it uses ssh instead of rsh, but then, you should take in accounting the cpu overhead of using ssh (encryption/decryption), so unnecessarily using cpu time, as the cluster is all in a private network. now, I need to connect from host A to host B with: A$ ssh -Y B (-Y or -X, to create a X tunnel) and then from host B to host C with: B$ rsh C and on host C I need to run an X client like: C$ xterm Now, I would like the users not to have to set the DISPLAY env var on host C, as they tend to forget and also some user's X server don't accept plain X connections.. Is there a way that I could configure host B to somehow expose to host C the X tunnel to host A? Automatically? No. You can however use ssh to create generic TCP tunnels, using -R and -L. But this is much more complicated than remembering a DISPLAY variable. Wait! I found a possible workaround.. it seams that setting X11UseLocalhost = no on sshd_config tell sshd to bind the X11 forwarding server to the wildcard address.. Right. Also, it requires users to specify a port on host B, and then the chosen port could already be taken, so returning an error.. Too much hassle.. From host B I have access to the users' homes on host C and I could place there some script to set the DISPLAY env var on user login. B$ echo $DISPLAY on host B gives back something like localhost:16.0, but if on host C I enter: C$ export DISPLAY=B:16.0 C$ xterm it doesn't work.. probably host C doesn't expose a network socket but maybe a unix socket for the X tunnel.. This is probably because the listener (which proxies X11 to host A) is bound to localhost(127.0.0.1) and not B(12.23.34.45). You can overcome this, using manual forwarding(-R & -L).

There are several problems. First, rsh does not support connection forwarding. Second, for security reasons, the X forwarding feature of ssh binds only to localhost on the client side (B), so you can't use it from C. The easiest solution would be to allow users to use ssh to connect to C (what's the reason for not allowing it?). Then you can use the X forwarding feature of ssh. Other solutions require much more work. For example, you can use ssh's generic connection forwarding feature which allows using a remote network socket (not just localhost). That is, on host A type something like this: ssh -R 6001:localhost:6000 B then on host B simply type "rsh C", and on host C you have to set the DISPLAY environment variable to "B:1.0". You also have to use xauth(1) or xhost(1) to allow X clients to access the server (ssh's X forwarding feature does that automatically, but when using the generic connection forwarding you have to do it yourself). WARNING: The X connection between hosts B and C will be unencrypted. Everybody who has access to the network will be able to sniff the connection and be able to watch everything you do, including every character you type (passwords etc.), and even intercept, modify and take over the connection. Furthermore, since the X connection socket on host B listens on the network (not just localhost), everybody can connect to it from other machines and access your X server, provided it can authenticate with it (which is trivial, especially if you use xhost(1)). I'm curious, why can't you use ssh between hosts B and C? Using ssh would solve all of the problems at once.

Re: perl WITH_THREADS= yes or no?
Hi Anton. I'm no expert here, but I found that installing perl without threads works for the vast majority of ports. In one occasion I needed to recompile perl with thread because another port required so. Also, I remember that using WITH_THREADS=yes came together with a warning that it could break other applications requiring perl. So, if not a requirement, I'd stick with perl without threads.

Re: raid1 + degraded (take out one disk) + fatal trap 12 on next reboot
Hi Ted. Thank you for replying to my post. see my comments below. Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Roberto, You can't simulate a disk drive failure that way. If you really want to know what's going on, the issue is that your pointing the swap to ar0. If you must get this booted again you can try booting into single user mode and editing /etc/fstab and pointing the partitions to /dev/ad0 instead of /dev/ar0 and booting. But this is an emergency action and is not recommended. It doesn't even get to that point.. it panics before giving me the shell for single user mode.. I even made a few tests trying to comment out the swap in fstab, but that didn't help. but it doesn't matter.. I solved the problem by removing and then readding the disk from the raid in the bios. One up again had to rebuild the raid in the OS.. and that was it.. If you want to simulate a drive failure, WHILE THE SYSTEM IS RUNNING pull the SATA connector on one drive. For sure that makes for a real test.. but.. Are you sure that that will not fry up the mainboard or the drive? The system should NOT trap, it should simply print a error to the console and show it's gone into degraded mode. If you then reboot, the system may or may not come back up. You have to understand the approach of RAID mirroring. Basically this is poor-man's data protection. The idea is that a disk usually fails in the middle of the day during the worst possible time. When it does you do NOT want the server to stop or crash. You want it to keep running until the evening when you can spend a couple hours getting the disk replaced. (or until the next day when you can buy a replacement drive) When you have the replacement disk ready to plug into the system, you are supposed to run a full backup of your data on the degraded array just in case the reinsertion goes badly. I have found the safest is to leave the server alone and get the replacement disk ready. Wiping it in another system with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=50k is the best policy before reinsertion. Thank you very much for these instructions. Luckly I'm not familiar with failing drives! :) Follow the steps in the man page for reinsertion. Keep in What man page? Again Thank you very much. Best regards. Robi mind that they don't always work. If they don't then you will have to wipe both disks and regenerate the array and reinstall the OS. That is why you make a backup first when the system is off-duty.

All HW is correctly recognized and in no more than 5 minutes FreeBSD is fully installed, configured and up and running on network. No tests on graphics, though. xen: Installation fails as it says the system doesn't have a NIC. After providing the NIC driver during installation, linux doesn't see the SATA fakeraid, but only the bare disks. CentOS: Installation gets to the end and lets a bootable system, but the system doesn't recognice the NIC nor the SATA fakeraid. Graphics is correctly configured and Gnome starts up correctly.

raid and dump/restore after the disaster
Hi all! I'm playing with new HW and FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0. I set up raid 1 on two sata disks (fakeraid on ICH9R) and as long as I can see, it seams to work very well. Now I'm trying to simulate 1 disk failure (I just take out a disk and boot again). Doesn't matter which of the two disks I take out, the bios correctly shows the raid as degraded and bootable, loads the FreeBSD loader, who loads the kernel and starts the boot. But when the kernel comes to the drives (or the swap?) it fatal traps 12. The trap descriptions sais that current process is 0 (swapper). Reading that I commented out the swap partition from fstab, but that doesn't help. How can I get the system to finish the boot? Thank you and best regards. -- Robi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
FreeBSD on xen?
Hi! Is anybody successfully running FreeBSD on xen? xen docs doesn't talk about support for FreeBSD.. Only Linux and Windows! The doc says the Guest operating system must be aware on running virtualized! Does FreeBSD supports it? What if the HW supports Intel's VT / AMD's AMD-V ? Will this make it possible to have FreeBDS as a Guest OS? Any comment welcome. Thank you.

Re: em0 net interface Link state changed to UP too late at boot time
Thank you Gilbert. I think I will give that a try. But it seams to me that is not the solution.. it may be a workaround but not a solution.. It seams to me that early_late_divider is in case you mount a FS like /usr/local where there are startup scripts executed at the late stages of the boot process.. and that's not my case.. my case is that the em0 interface, somehow gets ready too late.. it doesn't react in a responsive way to the up command.. I have other boxes with different NICs, mounting that FS without problem and without the early_late_divider option. Can anybody tell why this strange behaviour started after upgrading from 5.3-RELEASE to 6.1-RELEASE (that was last summer or early fall). May it be related with the problems of the em driver? Is there a solution? is there a way to tell the boot system to wait until ifconfig_em0 is be up? or a way to have em0 responde up before in the boot stage? Thank you again.

net interface Link state changed to UP too late at boot time
Hello list. I have a couple of FreeBSD boxes here that when booting the network interface Link state is changed to UP too late. .. as the systems mount at boot time a NFS FS, it hangs there and after that I get the following kernel message: xl0: Link state changed to UP or (depending on the box booting) em0: Link state changed to UP Any hints?

max number of groups a user can be member of
Hi everybody. Could anybody tell me the reason why by default FreeBSD limits the number of groups a user can be member of to 16? Not all servers have 5000k users and today memory is not an issue. Indeed, some servers used just for services have no users apart a few staff users and users to run the services.. Once you reach the limit on an existing server, apart from modifying NGROUPS_MAX and rebuilding a new kernel, you also need to rebuild/reinstall all applications.. That's not nice. Also, modifying NGROUPS_MAX in /usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h means that every time you update your sources, you must reedit the file.. Please correct me if I'm wrong and cast some light on this issue.

Re: grub doesn't know ufs filesystem
Hi Micah and Harley, Thanks for your answer. Humm.. I don't have any other grub on my path, and running which returns: # which grub /usr/local/sbin/grub The ports were updated quite recently.. in occasion of last update world. I did some more testing.. the strange thing is that I use the same grub boot floppy and the results are ok on the newly installed freebsd boxes, while on the two that are already installed the results are bad.. test 1: === - made a grub floppy - boot the existing FreeBSD boxes (2 boxes) from grub floppy result --> grub doesn't know the ufs filesystem test 2: === - installed a brand new FreeBSD 5-3-RELEASE with default partitioning on the whole disk on a separate pc - boot with grub floppy result --> grub recognizes the ufs filesystem test 3: === - same as test2, but / root has now soft-updates option - boot with grub floppy result --> grub recognizes the ufs filesystem test 4: === - same as test2, but partitioning done with partition magic as was done on the computers of test1 - boot with grub floppy result --> grub recognizes the ufs filesystem All that seams to point out that there's something wrong with the existing FreeBSD boxes.. but What? I must say that both boxes had all filesystem dumped and restored after repartitioning for permitting the use of dumping software such as ghost (that didn't like the partitioning done by freebsd during installation..)

I just upgrade a i386 FreeBSD box from REL-5.3.p15 to REL-5.3.p23. after installkernel I could reboot to single usermode and did installworld, but after that I can no longer reboot.. rebooting with the old kernel doesn't help.

# bsdlabel -w /dev/amrd1 auto
hello. What does the auto argument mean? # bsdlabel -w /dev/amrd1 auto Is it possible that the command above configures amrd1 as the default boot partition and modifies amrd0 not the be the active? And even modifies the partition table on amrd0 so that it starts at sect 0 instead of sect 63 as before?

broken partition table
Hi all. Please also reply to my mailbox as I'm not on the list. Thank you. I was installing a new drive on my 5.2.1-p3 and I believe I made some mistake while using fdisk and bsdlabel.. in fact the partition table for my bootable disk has changed. this was my fdisk amrd0 before: web.dti.supsi.ch# cat fdisk.amrd0 *** Working on device /dev/amrd0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4420 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4420 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 71007237 (34671 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: and this is how it looks now.. web.dti.supsi.ch# fdisk amrd0 *** Working on device /dev/amrd0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4420 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4420 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 70766325 (34553 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 308/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: as you can see, it is no longer bootable, and it doesn't start at sect 63 like before but at 0 How can I fix it? I was about to give the following command but thought I'd better ask first here... web.dti.supsi.ch# fdisk -B -f fdisk.conf.amrd0 I expect the above to reinstall the boot code and to correct the partition table.. I expect I'll be able to give that command while the system and running and so the filesystem mounted. also.. with the -t option the results are almost identical to the original state, but end cyl is different.. See.. is that important? web.dti.supsi.ch# fdisk -t -B -f fdisk.conf.amrd0 *** Working on device /dev/amrd0 *** fdisk: WARNING line 2: number of cylinders (4420) may be out-of-range (must be within 1-1024 for normal BIOS operation, unless the entire disk is dedicated to FreeBSD) parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4420 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4420 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Information from DOS bootblock is: 1: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 71007237 (34671 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 323/ head 254/ sector 63 2: 3: 4: and here is the fdisk.conf.amrd0 file web.dti.supsi.ch# cat fdisk.conf.amrd0 # values extacted from old fdisk.amrd0 g c4420 h255s63 p 1 165 63 71007237 p 2 0 0 0 p 3 0 0 0 p 4 0 0 0 a 1 -- Roberto Nunnari -software engineer- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana Dipartimento Tecnologie Innovative http://www.dti.supsi.ch SUPSI-DTI Via Cantonaletel: +41-91-6108561 6928 Manno """ fax: +41-91-6108570 Switzerland (o o) ===oOO==(_)==OOo ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: cannot resolve localhost
I have nsswitch.conf in place -bash-2.05b# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns and removed host.conf and rebooted the machine. rc.network recreated correctly host.conf from nsswitch.conf as: -bash-2.05b# cat /etc/host.conf # Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit hosts bind but the problem is still there... any ideas?

To answer your question: man nsswitch.conf cheers, Ruben it seems that my 5.0-Release box, when trying to resolve a name to the associated IP it only tries the DNSs listed in resolv.conf, and never tries /etc/hosts Also.. where is /etc/host.conf gone?
