Try (note the single quotes):

tripel# echo 'p 2 0x0c * *' | fdisk -f - /dev/da0

Just a hunch but perhaps the shell is globbing a filename.

Re: 8.0-RELEASE install freezes

2010-05-12 Thread Steve Bernacki
Following up on my original post, I went back and tried to install 
7.3-RELEASE.  The install once again hung right around the time when the 
system would normally announce Timecounters tick every xxx msec.


Since disabling ACPI and PnP doesn't seem to help, I'm wondering what 
might have changed between 6.x and 7.3 as it relates to the kernel 
bootstrapping process at this stage?  I am actually netbooting this 
install, so I have the ability to compile a custom kernel to troubleshoot 
this further.  I'd really like to install 8.0 on this hardware and get a 
few more years of life out of it.


Thanks,
Steve

Re: SpamAssassin and the nonexistent home directory.

2007-02-22 Thread Steve Bernacki

Start spamd with -D (debug) on both servers to see where and how
spamassassin is configuring itself.  Chances are there is some subtle
configuration variation that is causing this behavior.  It's easy for this
to happen given the fact that spamassassin reads through a number of
directories for configuration information when it starts up.

Userland PPP MSS miscalculation?

2006-01-08 Thread Steve Bernacki
I think that I've stumbled upon a miscalculation that userland-PPP makes
when mssfixup is enabled and I wanted to run it by a larger audience
before I submitted a problem report.

By default, FreeBSD calculates the TCP MSS value of a new TCP connection by
taking the MTU of the egress interface and subtracting 40 -- 20 for ip
headers, and 20 for tcp headers.  Thus, A TCP SYN packet exiting an
interface with an MTU of 1500 will have an MSS of 1460.  Well behaved TCP
implementations seem to know that MSS is a value that does NOT include any
TCP options; the number of bytes that TCP options consume are effectively
subtracted from the agreed-upon MSS value.  So, for a full packet
(1500mtu/1460mss) with 12 bytes of TCP options, the maximum data payload
size is 1448.  1448 (payload) + 12 (TCP options) + 20 (TCP headers) + 20 (IP
headers) = 1500.

In userland-PPP, the MSS value of an outgoing TCP SYN packet is calculated
as such:

tcpmss.c: line 73:  [tcpmss.c,v 1.7.2.1]
#define MAXMSS(mtu) ((mtu) - sizeof(struct ip) - sizeof(struct tcphdr) - 12)

A change was made on 6/29/2004 to tcpmss.c to subtract 12 from the MAXMSS
calculation (See 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/ppp/tcpmss.c.diff?r1=1.6r2=1.7f=h.
According to the PR report that caused the change (bin/32717), this was done
to pad additional space for TCP options that might be present.  The author,
Koji Mori, presents a test case that involves connecting to www.netbsd.org,
but I suspect that the bug was actually in NetBSD's MSS calculation,
although I've not done any research to see if this is the case.

By removing the -12 from the MAXMSS calculation and recompiling ppp,
outgoing SYN packets on my PPPoE-connected system now have an MSS value of
1452, which works perfectly well.  With the -12 included, the MSS is
calculated as 1440.  This works perfectly well of course, but it wastes 12
extra bytes that could be included in a packet's payload.

Am I missing something here, or is my evaluation correct?  If it is correct,
I'll go ahead and submit a PR to revert the -12 change.

Thanks,
Steve

I initially used the version that came with the XFree86.org 4.3.0 binary

Unfortunately, running a freshly built version of GAIM produces the same
results as before.  Perhaps part of my install was statically linked to an
older version of the fontconfig libraries?  Most of the ports were built
using the XFree86.org bundled freetype2 and fontconfig; I'm not sure how
that might play into this, as I'm not quite clear as to what system
components use these libraries.

I'd be glad to give you any additional information that you might be
interested in; I'm stumped at this point.

Thanks again,

fontconfig version is fontconfig-2.2.90_3 from the ports collection;
Xft-2.1.2 from the ports collection as well.

Many of the X-windows related ports on this new system (gtk2, etc.) were
built before I manually uninstalled the XFree86 4.3.0 binary release of
freetype2 [2.1.0], fontconfig [2.2.90], and Xft [2.1.0] and installed the
ports versions:

freetype2-2.1.5_1
fontconfig-2.2.90_3
Xft-2.1.2

...ugh, version number hell. :)

Thanks,
Steve

Re: Font selection problem with GAIM 0.70 port

 Do any other GTK-2 apps work?  Do you have a ~/.gtkrc-2.0?


The only other GTK2 app that I have installed is Xchat 2.0.5, and I've had
no problems with it so far.  And I have no ~/.gtkrc-2.0, so it's flying on
system defaults.

What's interesting is that if I go into GAIM preferences-fonts-use
custom face, clicking on the Font button brings up the standard Select
Font window that I'd expect the Conversation/Font Face button to bring
up.  Since I've not yet gotten the latter to work, though, I'm not sure
what it's supposed to bring up.

Thanks,
Steve

Font selection problem with GAIM 0.70 port

2003-10-04 Thread Steve Bernacki
When in a conversation window, clicking on the Font Face button
causes gaim-0.70 to spew the following to stderr:

** (gaim:199): WARNING **: Couldn't load font fixed Medium Semi-Condensed
0 falling back to Sans Medium Semi-Condensed 0

** (gaim:199): WARNING **: Couldn't load font Sans Medium Semi-Condensed
0 falling back to Sans 0

** (gaim:199): WARNING **: All font failbacks failed

...at which point the program exits.  Googling this error message points
to an improperly configured freetype2 library or fontconfig configuration.
However, as far as I can tell, there are no configuration problems on my
system: fc-list spits out 30 a number of fonts, although none that start
with Sans proper.

This is a brand new system, so unfortunately I'm unsure if previous
versions of GAIM have worked properly.

System: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE + latest security patches
XFree86 4.3.0 with all stock fonts
Related ports: freetype-1.3.1_2 gettext-0.12.1 gtk-2.2.4_1 glib-2.2.3
pango-1.2.5
(from ports-current as of 10/1/2003)

If anyone has any ideas, or can at least confirm that they are
experiencing the same problem with this version of GAIM, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve
