Since he has only this server as production, and does not like re-compiling the kernel on it (and rebooting), the only option that's sensible is retuning Apache and restart services (since an upgrade to 7.X would be even more involved than a kernel rebuild). By the way, does anyone know whether there is any way to tune PMAP_SHPGPERPROC using sysctl, or does such button/knob not exist?

On page 85 of Michael Lucas' "Absolute BSD", there is a solution to your problem that someone else had come across before. The solution involves (1) increasing the PMAP_SHPGPERPROC parameter in the kernel to a higher value and rebuilding the kernel, and (2) increasing the amount of physical RAM to complement it.

However, VMware is a commercial company one of whose responsibilities is their bottom line.

Sadly, to date I have not seen any organized efforts to bring to VMware's attention the mob of BSD users that are out there, despite all the boastful talks. You also see that there are no (host) support for Open and Net (BSD). OSS virtualization efforts are another story, as there is no "bottom line" as such.

At any rate the PowerPC is officially a tier-2 platform so there isn't as much support available. What you can do, though, is to get basic information like device node names and such from NetBSD. I got NetBSD 3.0 running on my PowerMac G4/533 more than a year ago, and it ran just about flawlessly (it had some problems shutting down, i.e. froze, but other than that there was nothing I could complain about). Some of the setup information, particularly with regards to how OpenFirmware interacts with the boot loader and boot devices, may be relevant. At any rate, NetBSD has had considerable experience porting the OS to the PowerPC platform so it's worth a try.

Re: Double fault
Hi Bernt, A few observations: 1) This double fault apparently occurs fairly early in your boot process.

Here's a Postfix solution.10 February 2006 Need more help on this topic? Click here This article has 7 comments Show me similar articles My ISP started blocking incoming port 25. It's already blocking outgoing port 25 and I'm handling that. Now it's time to start accepting incoming mail on the submission port, 587. They aren't blocking my incoming port 25. But we went through this process for another guy on our computer, so I figured that this is a good thing for which it will pay to be pro active. This solution assumes you have a mail server at home and at least one other mail server out there on the Internet, one which does not have port 25 blocked. That part is crucial to this solution. It is the external server[s] that will accept incoming mail and forward it to you. In DNS terms, your MX records will not point to your home server, but to your public server. Your home mail server I started by adding the following line to /usr/local/etc/postfix/ master.cf on my Postfix mail server at home: 10.34.0.1:587 inet n - n - - smtpd where 10.34.0.1 is the public IP address of my mail server [no, that's not really my IP address]. This instructs Postfix to listen on that IP address on port 587. This is known as the submission port: $ grep 587 /etc/services submission 587/tcp submission 587/udp Your public mail server Then I added this to /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf on my public mail server: transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix-config/transport This tells Postfix to observe the transport directives in the above mentioned file. You can put the file whereever you want. I like to keep it in that directory, which you'll probably have to create because it's not part of the standard system. In /usr/local/etc/ postfix-config/transport I have: myserver.example.orgsmtp:[myserver.example.org]:587 Where myserver.example.org is the hostname of my mail server at home. You need to create a .db file to go with that. I issued these commands: cd /usr/local/etc/postfix-config postmap transport You should now see a transport.db file. After making these changes you should restart postfix: postix restart Testing Then I sent a test message from the public mail server $ echo 'test' | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I confirmed that it was coming in on port 587 with this command on my mail server at home: tcpdump -i fxp0 port 587 Where fxp0 is the outside NIC on my firewall (the one with IP 10.34.0.1) as shown above. Then, on the public mail server, I requeued all the messages, so they'd use the right transport: postsuper -r ALL It's magic! All the messages were delivered to the right spot. Controlling access I control access to port 587 on my mail server. I have firewall rules in place that allow connections only from my home server. I think there are no security risks involved in keeping it open, but I see no reason to give access where no access is required. What about the other way around? If you need to handle outgoing port 25 to avoid ISP blocks, you can always the same instructions, but in the reverse direction. It should just work. Like the website? Want to give back?

Re: No core dump after panic
Well, this means that, since your previous kernel panicked but was not able to save a coredump, when you boot up from another kernel there is simply nothing there for savecore to recover. As a result savecore is reporting that there is nothing to recover for you. But that's the way to set it up. And you can ignore the "unable to open bounds file" message; it means that the bounds file wasn't there but it created it for you automatically.

I did not use /var/crash because /var was small than RAM. So I manually changed the crash directory to /usr partition. I do not know how to set savecore flag.

You normally set them in /etc/rc.conf by putting in a line like: savecore_flags="-v -z", where -v puts in extra debugging information and -z compresses the coredump so that you save some space. The panic happens only when safenet driver is complied in., GENERIC freebsd kernel boots up fine.

Re: FreeBSD boot loader halts
My FBSD 6.2 freezes at random after printing Default: F1 I haven't noticed this issue in the past with older versions of FreeBSD. Since this is a random issue, it's very hard to pin point the culprit by process of elimination (disabling APCI, etc...) After several ctrl+alt+delete reboots, the system does boot. Once booted I can run makeworld for a week without any issues. Perhaps a disk issue? I'm booting off a MegaRAID controller. Though I cannot crash the system using intensive IO after it boots. After it boots, it seems to be rock solid, so I'm lost here. Can boot loader be put into verbose mode and have it output debugging info? I don't know if there is a "debug" mode for the boot loader, but if the problem is happening at random then I would want to investigate hardware failures/malfunctions. At any rate, no fully operational machine should need "several ctrl+alt+delete reboots" for it to start working. Perhaps the problem happens when the BIOS is attempting to probe drive controllers?

It looks like the installworld fails because of some permissions issue
(see the several permissions denied messages just before the stop
errors). Either:
1) You did not become root when you were attempting to do this,
2) Some of your binaries had the system immutable flags set,
3) Some other crazy stuff going on.
I have heard Dan Langille say that he could do an installworld without
dropping down to single user before (he wrote a tutorial on
www.freebsddiary.org where he talked about buildworld on a fast box
and installworld on a slow box). But just so that we can compare
apples to apples, you should try doing it in single-user mode to

If you are located anywhere close to Grover Beach, California, please feel free to drop by his office and let him know how much we appreciate his pseudo-intellectual "analyses" of operating systems. His office is just off the 101, between 4th Street and Oak Park Blvd. SC ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Regarding QuickCam webcams and FreeBSD
Ted, First of all, I am a fan of your FreeBSD and the Corporate Networking Guide. You have done an excellent job writing that book and I often refer to it for suggestions on specific topics. Regarding self-contained webcams, I realize that these gizmos are out there. But so far none of them have the two criteria I am looking for: 1) Wireless connectivity (802.11g preferred), and 2) VPN / IPsec capable. The reason is that I want to be able to move the camera at a moment's notice, and I don't want the images of my bedroom / study / backyard to be broadcast in the clear. However, I have not seen any webcam that has those two capabilities, so that's why I am trying to get them to work with Free and OpenBSD.

Regarding QuickCam webcams and FreeBSD
Howdy, I happen to have been doing quite a bit of research in this area. What I wanted to do was to set up a *nix box with a webcam and a wireless NIC, so that I can mount the headless machine in the bedroom to keep an eye on our seven-month-old baby. (Link between the *nix box and the home private network will be encrypted using IPsec VPN.) What I have found so far are the following: 1) The apps that I have found do not work with a wide variety of more recent makes of webcams. If you do a Google search on "FreeBSD webcam" or "OpenBSD webcam", you actually see some tools that purportedly work with QuickCam Express or QuickCam B/W (or Color), and a handful of other models. 2) Logitech, the maker of QuickCam, used to make available technical specs and docs for the developers to write drivers with. Unfortunately, the company does not do that anymore, and anyone who wants to make a QuickCam-series work has to either reverse-engineer it, use available drivers and hope for the best, or run it under Windows. 3) By contrast, NetBSD and some Linux distros (so far I've heard promising things about Fedora Core 4 and I think Gentoo) have more development work going on for webcams. If FreeBSD doesn't work for you, try some of the other *nixes.

Kernel Panic in 5.0-RELEASE
Good day to all, This past weekend I experienced a kernel panic in my 5.0-release running on a Dual Pentium Pro system. Is this the correct mailing list to write to and seek help from? (I've already posted in the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc group but nobody has responded thus far.)
