There is a threading issue with Nagios when it's binaries are linked against libpthread(3) threading library, the default on recent FreeBSD 5.x releases and all 6.x releases. The issue is random and extremely difficult to track down with the symptoms being a second Nagios process sitting on the system hanging a CPU. Be rest assured that I have been working on it, and have seen it on one system of mine. Not sure if this is related at all but out of the 3 nagios deployments we have here I have only ever seen it on one (It currently has 2 nagios threads spinning CPU time atm). The differences on that server are: * It is amd64 compared to i386 * It also runs ndo2db from ndoutils 1.4b7 All the systems run 6.2-RELEASE-p5 and nagios-2.9_1, they are also all patched with gnu libltdl patch below. Don't know if that info is of any use to you. Changes have been submitted for net-mgmt/nagios-devel (aka Nagios 3.0.r1)) to force the build process to link against libthr(3) where available, removing the need to map libpthread() out with /etc/libmap.conf. If this goes well, as stated in the PR, i'll back-port it to net-mgmt/nagios (aka Nagios 2.10) in the next few days. If anyone out there is running net-mgmt/nagios-devel and feels like trying it for me, see ports/119246 and drop me an email with a before and after ldd /usr/local/bin/nagios.

No issues have arisen so i'll be back-porting it to net-mgmt/nagios soon for you.

Traditional ethernet collisions aren't possible on modern hardware, since there's never more than one output writing to each twisted-pair. Even though all modern NICs will happily do full-duplex operation when connected via a switch, people still use hubs rather than switches, sometimes :-) You can still get ethernet collisions on a hub. In theory it is also possible to have collisions using a switch when the switches switching backplane is flooded.

At seemingly random intervals, the computer seems to stop listening for keyboard events for as long as a second at a time. Though I'm no speed demon at the keyboard, this can mean a few keystrokes that go missing before the computer catches up with me. Sometimes when it catches up, it will get a key which I pressed during the hiatus; and sometimes it will duplicate the last key I pressed before it stopped paying attention. I've tried swapping to a different USB keyboard. I've tried plugging the keyboard in directly to the USB port, instead of via hubs. I've tried console mode instead of X. In all cases, the strange behavior is still present. I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on a Dell Latitude D620 laptop.

We have some PE2950's setup with serial consoles using IPMI over LAN.
If you set the port in the BIOS to com2 and 57600 bps then you should be
able to use ipmitool to access the console. If you set the device hints
correctly you will be able to have FreeBSD use this port as a serial
console.

(I installed from a 6.1 Release CD) Hope that helps Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: custom rc.d script not working

I compiled quagga 0.99.5 from source (not freebsd port) and wrote this
little script in the /etc/rc.d/zebra file.

. /etc/rc.subr

/etc/rc.conf has zebra_enable=yes
However it only starts zebra when I execute it manually from
command line. When I boot freebsd, it executes and I see
message in boot screen that zebra is starting, but on login I find
zebra isn't running.
all files in /usr/local/sbin/ for zebra executables are owned by
quagga/quagga user/group.
Once I get this working, I will ofcourse add scripts for ospfd and
bgpd and isisd.. but it beats me why this isn't working...
This is on freebsd 6.2 RC1 i386.
Thanks very much in advance for your help...
PS: Please CC me as I am not subscribed.
In the latest quagga port there is already an RC script ready for use.
It gets installed to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.

Re: ssh over http
Atom Powers wrote: On 11/27/06, Ansar Mohammed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, Is there any ssh over http implementation available for freebsd? That doesn't even make sense. SSH is a transport layer protocol, HTTP is an application layer protocol. Both HTTP and SSH are application level transports, however both can be used to tunnel TCP connections. Therefore it is possible to use ssh over http. The windows putty client can use http proxies to make outbound connections as long as your http proxy is configured to allow CONNECT requests to port 22. If you using squid for example with a defaultish config you will need to update your proxy server configuration.

Re: Hardware Console Redirection
Brian A. Seklecki wrote: Right, and the Dell PE uses com 2, or com1 (when properly counting from 0), ah la 0x2F8 which is logically connected to a serial port on the DRAC5 via the daughterboard connection. The drac [345] Cards actually hook into or present a new vga adapter to the system (this can be seen as an ati chipset on the drac 4 pci addin cards) They also present a soft keyboard an mouse to the system via a set of usb devices. If you also use the bios console redirection the bios is sent to the configured serial port. FreeBSD fully supports the dell drac [345] cards (at least RELENG_6 does which i guess means 7 does), I have a largs number of these cards working perfectly in production. Using the drac web interface you can send the system a scroll lock and scroll back the system console as if you where using the physical console. So there is no need to be conected all of the time. On a side note it is advisable to put (device kbdmux) into your kernel if you want to use both the physical console and the drac console access, otherwise the usb devices provided by the drac disable the physical keyboard. If you have DRAC cards in you dell systems I would recomend the console access in them over serial port redirection as it is much simpler to setup.

Re: Raid over NFS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi list! I am actually seachring a solution for doing raid over NFS. My need is to have 2 mail servers sharing the same storage. For redundancy reason, I would like to have a duplicate partition (one on each server accessible by NFS) and do a software RAID (mirroring) on the other. Is there a well known and stable solution? It looks like vinum is not able to do that. I appreciate any return. Thanks Aymeric We have just set up something very similar, using ggate and gmirror. one box mounts the mirrored volume directly while the other mounts it via nfs. If the master box fails then the secondry box can mount the file system directly. I used the following as a basis for the configuration and am adding in a heartbeat system so that the backup server can automatically take over from the master. http://www.phunsites.net/wp/2006/08/11/realtime-file-system-replication-on-freebsd/ Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: help increase process/kernel memory please
Per olof Ljungmark wrote: Hi, I clearly have a problem figuring out how to increase the limits for memory available to a process and the kernel. I'm running a Perl app that need lots of memory and I would like to make around 2G available to it, the box has 4G physical RAM. Which knob(s) should be tweaked? System is running 6-STABLE from around 1st of October. This is what I see when the process exits: Out of memory during large request for 528384 bytes, total sbrk() is 536416256 bytes I'm depending on a solution to this and would be a really happy person if someone could please guide me. Per olof You should try setting kern.maxdsize in /boot/loader.conf and then reboot the system. This sysctl sets the maximum data size of a running process you may also have to tune some of the limits using ulimit. The example below sets the max data size to 1.5Gb: kern.maxdsiz=1610612736 Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anybody has experience with cacti and nagios? or if u can suggest me other solution would be great. :-) thanks in advance Rik I would highly recommend Nagios, we have 3 monitoring servers deployed on 3 sites monitoring around 1200 services. Nagios comes with a large number of plugins that can be used to monitor most basic services and it is very easy to throw together new plugins to monitor anything you want.
