Quick and dirty, needs adjustments. Repeat the following
(endless loop, depending on the shell you're using):
top -n | awk '/%/ { load=$11; sub(%, , load); sub(\\., , load);
if(load 1000 load 1500) print $1 }' | xargs kill -9
The margin is coded in the conditional: 1000 means 10.00% WCPU
(load 0.10), 1500 means 15.00% WCPU (load 0.15). You will have
to set the valid load accordingly.
Done some minor testing, killed my media player (as expected).
I'm sure someone will present a much better, less dirtier
approach to accomplish the requested task. :-)

The classic answer to this is that you need to find the pid of your 'xxx' process, and then kill it using that. Some combination of ps(1) and grep(1) usually sufficed. However nowadays there's the very handy pkill(1): pkill -9 xxx Tying that in with the trigger based on system load: #!/bin/sh load=$(sysctl vm.loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f 3) too_high=$(bc -e $load 0.15 /dev/null) if [ $too_high = '1' ]; then pkill -9 xxx fi Note the use of bc(1) to compare floating point values -- the built-in $((shell arithmetic)) or expr(1) only do integer arithmetic. One final point -- instead of killing the xxx process when the load gets too high, you could simply renice(1) it to very low priority. Or even better, use idprio(1). This won't actually affect the system load values much as 'system load' is an average of the number of processes requesting a CPU time slice. What it does do is mean that your 'xxx' process is always pretty much the last process to get any CPU time -- so everything else should remain responsive, and your xxx process will only run when the system is otherwise idle.

Re: /usr/bin/find - binary operands howto
A single find already had the needed selection and execution ops.
So I was trying it first, before writing an external parser, etc.
It's still not clear to me how find is compiling the arguments
internally, but using -vv on the utils helped a lot. After adding
-false after all the -exec's, it now works as desired up against
my array of inodes. I also worked in a pre-change, select, ls.
The arbitrary format of gfind is interesting. It can maybe be
approximated in find with -exec ls someargs {} \+.

/usr/bin/find - binary operands howto
Given a fs with millions of inodes, multiple find runs is expensive.
As is performing the ch* on more than the minimum required inodes,
which also needlessly updates the inode ctime. So I want one find,
doing the ch* only if necessary.
I came up with this. But any true line short circuits the rest of
the -o's, which isn't desired. Using -a results similarly.
The man page says -exec returns true if util is true. ch* is usually
true unless the operation isn't permitted (file flags, read-only,
etc) or the node vanishes in a race.
The test[s] would keep -exec[s] from being always executed.
Then there is the problem of the full permutation of the initial
state of the owner and mode, say: 00, 01, 10, 11.
So how should I write this? Do I want to use -true/-false somehow?
# touch 1 ; chown 1:1 1 ; chmod 0666 1 ; ls -l 1
# find 1 \( \
\( \! \( -uid 0 -gid 0 \) -exec chown 0:0 {} \+ \) \
-o \
\(-perm +0222 -exec chmod ugo-w {} \+ \) \

Re: HOWTO: FreeBSD ZFS Madness (Boot Environments)
And no difference on 8.3 :(
Should there have been a promote in there somewhere? It looks like
the boot env is still dependent on the very old zroot.
Hi,
I have just recreated from scratch Your zroot root
setup under VirtualBox and tested it deeply.
There was an interesting BUG in the *beadm* utility,
or maybe it is a BUG in sh(1), I do not have that
good knowledge of POSIX/sh(1) standards.
To the point, check these two code snippets, they should
do EXACLY the same, logic is the same, the differece is
only the syntax.
snippet 1:
[ ${MOUNT} -eq 0 ] {
zfs set mountpoint=${TMPMNT} ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
zfs mount ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
} || {
TMPMNT=${MOUNT}
}
snippet 2:
if [ ${MOUNT} -eq 0 ]; then
zfs set mountpoint=${TMPMNT} ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
zfs mount ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
else
TMPMNT=${MOUNT}
fi
But unfortunately, it comes out that its not the same ...
[ ${MOUNT} -eq 0 ] {
zfs set mountpoint=${TMPMNT} ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
zfs mount ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
# IF THIS LINE ABOVE FAILS (NOT RETURN 0) THEN
# TMPMNT=${MOUNT} BELOW WILL BE EXECUTED
} || {
TMPMNT=${MOUNT}
}
The sollution can be put command that will always
work (return 0 on exit) like that:
[ ${MOUNT} -eq 0 ] {
zfs set mountpoint=${TMPMNT} ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
zfs mount ${POOL}/ROOT/${2}
echo 1 /dev/null 2 /dev/null
} || {
TMPMNT=${MOUNT}
}
... or to rewrite it under if/then/else which I did for the whole
*beadm* utility and I no longer use || and syntax, anywhere.
As for Your problems, this worked for me on this VirtualBox test
environment.
# zfs promote zroot
# zfs rollback zpool@be
# zfs set mountpoint=/mnt zroot
[ set vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:zroot in /mnt/boot/loader.conf ]
# zpool set bootfs=zroot zroot
# zfs set mountpoint=none zroot
# reboot
These above should bring back to the start point before
You entered my instructions to try *beadm* and BEs.
After reboot ...
# zfs destroy -R zroot/ROOT
# zfs create -o mountpoint=none zroot/ROOT
# zfs send zpool@be | zfs recv zroot/ROOT/be
# fetch https://raw.github.com/vermaden/beadm/master/beadm
# chmod +x beadm
# ./beadm list
# ./beadm activate be
# reboot
Now You should have a working system with boot environments.
Both GitHub and SourceForce have the latest fixed *beadm* version.
Regards,
vermaden

No, no and no. I got burned by that about 30 years ago in shell
programming. Every time I see someone use that, I shriek just a little
bit.
vermaden ... or to rewrite it under if/then/else which I did for the whole
vermaden *beadm* utility and I no longer use || and syntax,
vermaden anywhere.

OK, I'll give that a try. Thanks for being persistent with me.

Re: HOWTO: FreeBSD ZFS Madness (Boot Environments)
I have zfs-on-root using the classical documentation (everything under zpool, possibly with some sub-mounts, but I've left those out lately). Is there a way to transition my system to a form that beadm expects? I tried just running it, and it's upset that zpool/ROOT doesn't exist. Hi, I would suggest using something like that: # zfs create -o mountpoint=none zpool/ROOT # zfs snapshot zpool@be # zfs clone zpool@be zpool/ROOT/default # fetch https://github.com/vermaden/beadm/blob/master/beadm # chmod +x beadm # ./beadm list # ./beadm activate default # reboot Be sure to use the latest *beadm* from one of these: https://raw.github.com/vermaden/beadm/master/beadm https://sourceforge.net/projects/beadm/ Let me know how these instructions work, especially if You got any errors or an unbootable system. It would be best if You would test this zpool root to sys/ROOT/be transition under VirtualBox for 100% safety ;) Regards, vermaden -- ... ___ 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: HOWTO: FreeBSD ZFS Madness (Boot Environments)
Hi, I just tested your tool the last few days and I must say I love it already. Though I can get one of the commands to work - might be me or the syntax beadm create [-e nonActiveBe | beName@snapshot] beName I read it as you can do the following beadm create beName@snapshot beName Is that correct or is it beadm create -e beName@snapshot beName Well neither of those seems to work for me, can you give an example of the use? Thanks Kalle There are only 3 possible ways: 1. beadm create beName - this will create BE beName from currently booted BE. 2. beadm create -e nonActiveBe beName - this will create BE beName from other BE called nonActiveBe 3. beadm create -e beName@snapshot beName - this will create BE beName from existing beName@snapshot snapshot At least these are the same possibilities that beadm(1M) at Illumos/Solaris provides.

Re: HOWTO: FreeBSD ZFS Madness (Boot Environments)
Hi, do you know manageBE? Google for it, it is the first hit. This works for me like a charm since about a year. Bye, Alexander. Hi, yes I know and used manageBE for a while, I even mentioned it in the HOWTO (quote below) but thought that making *beadm* that is compatible with Illumos/Solaris version would be nice idea, *beadm* is also more comfortable to use, at least for me. Mine *beadm* has also a feature to activate BE's from other machines. Illumos/Solaris has the beadm(1M) [4] utility and while Philipp Wuensche wrote the manageBE script as replacement [5], it uses older style used at times when OpenSolaris (and SUN) were still having a great time. I last couple of days writing an up-to-date replacement for FreeBSD compatible beadm utility, and with some tweaks from today I just made it available at SourceForge [6] if You wish to test it. Currently its about 200 lines long, so it should be pretty simple to take a look at it. I tried to make it as compatible as possible with the 'upstream' version, along with some small improvements, it currently supports basic functions like list, create, destroy and activate. (...) There are several subtle differences between mine implementation and Philipp's one, he defines and then relies upon ZFS property called freebsd:boot-environment=1 for each boot environment, I do not set any other additional ZFS properties. There is already org.freebsd:swap property used for SWAP on FreeBSD, so we may use org.freebsd:be in the future, but is just a thought, right now its not used. My version also supports activating boot environments received with zfs recv command from other systems (it just updates appreciate /boot/zfs/zpool.cache file).

Dell PowerEdge 1950 with LSI SAS1068E/aka DeLL SAS-6 HBA: howto update firmware with FreeBSD?
We run a Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server which is equipted with a LSI Logic LSISAS1068E SAS HBA, branded as a Dell SAS-6 HBA (MPT). The firmware is dated to 2007 and is not capable of handling hard disks larger than 2 TB. We got now a 3 TB SATA harddrive (WD WD30EZRX) which doesn't get recognized properly and is traeted as a 2TB disk. I found at Dell's website a proper firmware for this type of SAS controller, but I wasn't able to flash a new firmware (firmware found at http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=uscs=19l=ens=dhsdeviceid=13856libid=46releaseid=R197383vercnt=3formatcnt=0SystemID=PWE_1950servicetag=os=WNETosl=encatid=-1dateid=-1typeid=-1formatid=-1impid=-1checkFormat=true). This fails. The windows alternative is not applicable, how should it ... A FreeDOS solution - like LSI Logic offers - is obviously not in sight at Dell, the offer a RedHat only solution. I tried with a FedoraLive CD (Fedora15, 64Bit), but the process fails either with a non-found builVer.sh-error or, when using a emergency-Linux CD like Knoppix 6.4.4 (famous in Germany), it's missing some utilities (rpm, stty or whatsoever). So, I'm floating like a dead man in the water, having a full old 2 TB harddrive, an exchange 3TB harddrive which is recognized as 2 TB harddrive and no chance to update the controller's firmware.

FreeBSD CURRENT custom ISO install image: howto?

He makes install disks possible. I also copied him on this reply. He helped me with making an install disk for my projects and he can most likely point you to his how to methods. Hello out there. Thank you very much. The last time I tried making a install media from a local installation is quite a lot of years since. I found man release(7) very helpful, but at the end it turns out that I didn't understood what is happening. I tried to fullfill all prerequisites needed to make a release, i.e. 1) having a populated /usr/src (SVN managed), I recently made a 'make buildworld', I created a suitable release-folder to chroot to for the release and I issued MAKE_DVD=yes and MAKE_ISOS=yes to ensure the build of ISO images for a DVD. I'll show the command issued at the end. But the build-process seems to drop everything it builds into /usr/src/release (from where the commande 'make release' has to be issued as docuemnted in 'release (7)'. Here's the command: Folders /home/release and /usr/src exists, 'make buildworld' has been issued and successfully finished. The following commands are issued regarding the release (7) manpage: cd /usr/src/release make release SVNROOT=/usr/src NODOC=yes MAKE_DVD=yes MAKE_ISOS=yes\ CHROOTDIR=/home/release BUILDNAME=SOMETHING_NEW I do not ommit TARGET_ARCH and TARGET since I do not crossbuild (I'm on amd64). The outcome is that the make-release process seems to flood /usr/src/release as it never 'chroot' to the given CHROOTDIR. I'm not familiar with this and I exepct this to be a kind of mistake. Correct me if I'm wrong.

howto un-chmod 755 /usr/local?
Would you believe me if I said a script I use daily went awry? Is there a list of the proper permission modes for things in /usr/local to get a working system back, aside of starting over? Is there a better way? I've already tried and upgrade from the 8.1 cd, which doesn't seem to have affected /usr/local permissions much (which sort of makes sense), as well as a portupgrade -akfO, which didn't seem to have much traction either. Symptoms: XOrg gives some rather uninteresting info and hangs while still in text mode.

Take your time to think about if this is indeed the right solution. 1st: You need to decide which is the right policy to deploy. Basically you can opt for a default deny or a default allow. With default deny you create white lists for the exceptions that should be allows. With default allow you create black lists. Default deny and default allow roughly corresponds to the policies of OpenBSD vs. Microsoft Windows. So, when is white listing an option? When you have a limited set of exceptions, for example your local users that need ssh access. If this set is limited consider deploying default deny. On the other hand, this is not an option for your web service that you wish to provide for anyone anywhere. Blacklisting is futile (think, did anti-virus solve the virus problem?). Intruders may attempt to connect from anywhere, blocking a single IP won't solve your problem, most likely the next attempt will not come from that IP. This is because these attacks may be launched from a number of compromised pc's and because the attacking pc may have dynamically assigned address. So you need to block entire ranges, but which? I recently analysed my maillog to see where attempted spammers connected from. I found some 3500 hosts in 1600 ranges (using whois lookup). These ranges being typically /16. I haven't tried with ssh but I doubt it would be much different. If on top of this you make some auto-respond system, you expose yourself to a denial of service attack, blindly blocking anything that creates a log entry. Whether you use white or black listing this is effective only if you can make informed decisions. If you don't do business with say China and you know that 25% of all spam originates from China, it is only rational to block access from China. But, whenever possible, use white listing.

I'd like to be able to run privileged commands when a user logins or logs out: You can handle this in two ways: a) On a per-user basis, you can use the user's ~/.login and ~/.logout files; those are corresponding to the C Shell, and assuming that csh is the dialog shell for the user. b) On an all-users basis, you can use /etc/csh.login and /etc/csh.logout to have all users perform the commands you want to run. - on login, nfs mount the user's home directory (ok, not critical, I can mount /home) As it has already been mentioned, it is easy to use amd and / or automounter tool for that. - on logout a system reboot to clean up any temporary files left from the session. A system reboot? To clean up temporary files? Caused by an ordinary user? Excuse me, Sir, what strange country are you from? :-) Honestly, that's not neccessary. If you want to make sure that all temporary files belonging to a specific user are deleted upon user logout, you can simply let him do it by his ~/.logout script, e. g. using rm -rf /tmp; this might sound very violent, but it will only delete the user's files from the /tmp subtree. There are very few occassions you HAVE to reboot a BSD machine. Cleaning temporary files is *not* one of them, especially if you don't have clear_tmp_enable set to YES in /etc/rc.conf. If temporary files are left in other directories you know of, you can clean them as well. Is this possible, without messing arround with sudo or adding users to wheel or operator groups? Of course. You can edit the permissions for the programs you explicitely want to allow ordinary users to run, e. g. the /sbin/shutdown binary. A sidenote: If we're talking about X, the GiveConsole and TakeConsole in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/ can be used.

I thought that this is what you were originally after. FreeBSD, in itself, can't do this... much like Mac OS or Windows can't do this. Most applications such as Firefox can't even do this (inherently). If you are trying to enforce this as a personal/company policy, you will need to write a 'wrapper' around your application (lynx/firefox) to do this. Note that your example was :25-:443, which implied SMTP over SSL... Nonetheless, FreeBSD can't make these decisions inherently (thankfully). Steve I think the OP does not have a clear grasp on how the various protocols operate. Evidenced by confusing http with mail services. Yes, I know there is 'web mail', but even web based mail is still a web server. It is up to the server operator to configure the services on the server end of things. Whether its SMTP with SSL/TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, pop3 or imap with SSL, etc., all of these things are made to work at the server end. True enough a client may need to be configured to talk on port 995 for pop3/SSL or port 993 for IMAP/SSL but for the web a client shouldn't need to do anything. The web server operator configures which locations in his URI space should be served up on port 443, and the client's browser should automatically switch to HTTPS based upon this. The OP doesn't seem to understand that he doesn't need to make this happen on his end, at least as far as HTTP/HTTPS goes. All of this is true, but it is also true that many web sites offer part or all of their content pages by both protocols, which allows a client to fetch such pages by his/her choice of protocol. For such sites, it can be quite helpful to have a way to tell the browser to prefer, or even require, one or the other. If he is actually trying to configure a mail client to talk TLS or SSL to an SMTP server, then he needs to tell the email client software this. E.g., This connection requires encryption and whether it is SSL or TLS. Mail servers on port 25 do not use HTTP or HTTPS, but rather SMTP. So it seems as if he is just very confused. Definitely the case. However, this list is intended to provide help to users at all levels of experience and understanding. What has been overlooked in all of the above discussion is that there *is* some help available for the OP. A plug-in is available for Firefox that should *always* be installed ASAP after Firefox has been installed unless you don't give a rat's ass about browser security. The plug-in is called NoScript.

Steve I think the OP does not have a clear grasp on how the various protocols operate. Evidenced by confusing http with mail services. Yes, I know there is 'web mail', but even web based mail is still a web server. It is up to the server operator to configure the services on the server end of things. Whether its SMTP with SSL/TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, pop3 or imap with SSL, etc., all of these things are made to work at the server end. True enough a client may need to be configured to talk on port 995 for pop3/SSL or port 993 for IMAP/SSL but for the web a client shouldn't need to do anything. The web server operator configures which locations in his URI space should be served up on port 443, and the client's browser should automatically switch to HTTPS based upon this. The OP doesn't seem to understand that he doesn't need to make this happen on his end, at least as far as HTTP/HTTPS goes. All of this is true, but it is also true that many web sites offer part or all of their content pages by both protocols, which allows a client to fetch such pages by his/her choice of protocol. For such sites, it can be quite helpful to have a way to tell the browser to prefer, or even require, one or the other. If he is actually trying to configure a mail client to talk TLS or SSL to an SMTP server, then he needs to tell the email client software this. E.g., This connection requires encryption and whether it is SSL or TLS. Mail servers on port 25 do not use HTTP or HTTPS, but rather SMTP. So it seems as if he is just very confused. Definitely the case. However, this list is intended to provide help to users at all levels of experience and understanding. What has been overlooked in all of the above discussion is that there *is* some help available for the OP. A plug-in is available for Firefox that should *always* be installed ASAP after Firefox has been installed unless you don't give a rat's ass about browser security. The plug-in is called NoScript.

I think it is the responsibility of the person in charge of the server to decide whether non-ssl connections are allowed or not; and to redirect non-ssl connections to ssl ones when needed. That should never be a burden for the client. Now on your client side what you can do is: - set-up a firewall to forbid non-ssl connections to certain web sites: if you try a non-ssl connection, it will be refused; easy enough to set-up, but frustrating when you see that your connection is refused; - set-up a proxy/redirector to change your non-ssl connections to ssl one: certainly an heavier thing to set-up, but would work transparently; Good luck, Olivier ___ 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

Howto: ethernet card on dell M6300
I was saddened to find that my ethernet card did not work on my FreeBSD 7.2
machine. The bge driver in the kernel did not support the broadcom 5756ME.
Here is how I got it to work:
1. Set my machine up to compile the kernel (see section 8.5 of manual)
2. Edit /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h. Add a definition for
BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME with the value 0x1674 after BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M:
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M 0x1673
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME 0x1674
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5780 0x166A
3. Edit /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c. Add a reference to
BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME after BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M:
{ BCOM_VENDORID,BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5755M },
{ BCOM_VENDORID,BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5756ME },
{ BCOM_VENDORID,BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5780 },
4. Compile and install the kernel, and reboot
5. Configure the card using sysinstall

RE: Samba3 domain controller howto?
Hi, I used the following procedure to install samba4 on a freebsd box: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO in my current setup (which is about 4 months old) the following this do not work: - active directory groups did somehow not work as expected, but I didn't had the time to look deeper into it - updating DNS records within named, as the version freebsd comes with does not support the GSSAPI. if someone finds a way to replace builtin named with a newer version please drop me an email. - stability (didn't had the time to examine the segfaults further.) I already had contact about this issue with andrew bartlett from the developer team and they are willing to fix this issues when they have enough informations. look here (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky) for informations about the 'franky' release and how to compile it. seems to be simple if you're a little bit familiar with samba. I didn't had the time to look and test, and surely won't have any until mid-august. so it would be great to hear your experiences :-) Regards, --- Mr. Olli On Mon, 2009-06-08 at 07:40 -0400, Dave wrote: Hi, Do you have a procedure for getting samba4 going?

Re: Samba3 domain controller howto?
hi, Where did you get samba4? How did you download? How did you compile on FreeBSD? You can share your ./configure args? have a look into the mail I just posted on freebsd-questions, it includes links to the samba wiki where installation is explained in detail. And your smb.conf and loop script? the loop script is a bash with the following command running: 'while (true); do samba -i -M single; done' this restarts samba4 whenever it crashes immediately. my smb.conf is very simplistic as there aren't that may options you can choose in samba4 (due to being in heavy development). maybe one thing that you should be aware of is, that UFS does not support extend file attributes as linux does. so you need to save this informations into a file. the correct procedure is described in the samba4 howto article within the samba wiki (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO). sorry for not providing my smb.conf, but the server is out of my reach at the moment. If you have any questions about the setup drop me an email, maybee I can help you.
