 Since you don't mention that you are running an old release, have you
 tried switching to csup in the base system?

I am on RELENG_7.  I just rebuilt the world on the machine when this
problem started. I should have mentioned that. I also rebuilt the world on
a second server sitting right next to this one and it has no problem with
CVSUP.  There has to be a cause for why this cvsup is failing or a file
that can be deleted and rebuilt or some other troubleshooting to this
problem.  Anyone have ideas?

cvsup TreeList failed connection timed out

2009-03-15 Thread Troy
I'm having a problem with cvsup and it just started happening. I have
other servers on the same LAN that are having no problem connecting to the
very same servers.  I found other people that had this problem by
searching but nothing gave a definitive answer on how to solve this.  I
tried to rebuild cvsup from source again and it build just fine but the
problem still exists.  I turned on tcpdump and there is nothing that
stands out why this is happening other than a clear timeout.

Thoughts on how to troubleshoot this problem?

 Do your own DNS. Your ISP chokes in  ('IPv6') look ups. If you're not
 allowed to, still run a local resolver with aggressive neg ttl caching.

 See the numerous tutorials on the web on how to run your own resolver.

Well spotted.  You are right that the ISP is choking on , except it is 
returning SERVFAIL.  I already have a local named running and acts as a 
forwarder.  Unfortunately I have to use the ISP to resolve names (it is the 
only nameserver I have access to).  

Google says bind won't cache SERVFAIL responces and I have no idea how to 
disable named from forwarding  requests.

You cannot connect to an outside nameserver, due to ISP restrictions I take 
it?

 disable named from forwarding  requests.

Me neither. I battled with ISC about this before, but their position is that 
ISP nameservers and loadbalancers should 'get with the program'.
Not everyone has this luxury but if your ISP has any competition in your area, 
check them out.

I briefly looked into views but you don't seem to be able to select views 
based on RRs. Firewall isn't really an option either, since you'd have to 
inspect the UDP payload.

I don't quite understand your question.  See below for the network topology:

 | Wireless connection to my gateway
 |
Server (My gateway, running bind9 for internet domain and DNS caching, FreeBSD 
7.1p2)

   Built-in bge0 link to desktop

All the FreeBSD systems (server, desktop and laptop) experience the DNS 
problem.  

 Can you use another nameserver? An extern nameserver for testing?

Other than the ISP's nameserver and my servers nameserver (which works fine 
for its master domain) no.  

Does this help?

Hi,

  I have similar problem, 3 servers in the same switch, the same
  configuration, but sending of e-mail from php takes very long time,
  but only on 2 servers with 7.1 amd64. On 6.2 (the same ip range,
  the same dns resolver, the same version of php, the same switch) no
  problem.

  Where could be a problem? Resolver? Interesting is that are moments
  when problem isnt on 7.1 too (but very rarely).

  I thing that is problem of version of FBSD but I havent any
  verification yet.

netcard works fine:
(from laptop, see 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-February/192278.html  
for layout of network)
# ping -c 2000 -i 0.1 192.193.194.1
PING 192.193.194.1 (192.193.194.1): 56 data bytes

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.339/27.799/741.743/78.702 ms

The above was because only proxied (and socks) traffic is allowed beyond the 
ISP.  The point I was trying to make was (by the number of '.' before the 
first netstat line) that it takes the browser over 25 seconds before it even 
attempts the connection.  See below for when I have transparent proxying 
enabled (and the connection does go through).

# konqueror www.google.co.za

Hi,

My ISP is using a WinGate DNS but resolving host names often takes a long 
time.  The problem is also present in Konqueror (3  4) and Firefox.  

An example:
# time host google.co.za
google.co.za has address 66.249.93.104
google.co.za has address 72.14.207.104
google.co.za has address 64.233.161.104
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
0.000u 0.008s 0:24.69 0.0%  0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

The web browsers also take a long time before they actually try connecting.  
# konqueror www.google.co.za 
[1] 4862
# sh -c 'while true; do echo -n .; netstat -np tcp; sleep 5; done'
..Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address  Foreign Address   (state)
tcp4   0  0 192.168.0.6.55429  63.245.209.93.80   SYN_SENT
tcp4   0  0 192.168.0.6.12337  74.125.77.147.80   SYN_SENT
.Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address  Foreign Address   (state)
tcp4   0  0 192.168.0.6.55429  63.245.209.93.80   SYN_SENT
tcp4   0  0 192.168.0.6.12337  74.125.77.147.80   SYN_SENT

Firefox on Windows doesn't have this problem.

Lastly:
# cat /etc/resolve.conf
nameserver 192.193.194.1

What is wrong, why is DN resolving taking such an abnormally long time?  How 
can I diagnose and fix it?

Thanks in advance,

David

RESOLVED: Connection timed out

2007-02-14 Thread Matthew Pope

Greg,
Your email was very helpful. I isolated the freebsd box, and the win2K 
box on a LAN without connection to the upstream Cisco device, and all 
the connectivity problems went away. I'll be implementing the 'turn off 
STP' on those Cisco ports shortly.

Many thanks,
Matthew

If you're referring to the above samples as appears from IPV6, those 
are Spanning Tree Protocol packets originating from the Cisco switch, 
and are unrelated to your ping test. You will see them on the wire 
frequently even in the absence of any normal IP traffic.


You probably want the following Cisco configuration directive added to 
those switch ports that do not connect the 2900 to other switches:


spanning-tree portfast

The presence of the STP packets may or may not be related to your 
performance issues. They shouldn't be, but some buggy NICs/drivers do 
seem to get freaked out by STP.


When STP is enabled on a switch port, it definitely will delay your 
initial link establishment by 30 seconds or so, when the attached 
computer is first powered up. That alone can confuse things when the 
NIC is trying to negotiate a link speed and the switch is still 
thinking about STP. It's even possible that you're getting a link 
speed/duplex mismatch out of it, and of course that will play holy 
hell with your response time.

ssh connection timed out

2002-10-10 Thread Goodwin Lawlor

Hi
I've just installed FreeBSD4.5 on machine attached to a college network. I
can connect to the machine using ssh from another machine on the network.
When I try to connect using ssh from home via an ISP (using PuTTY on winxp)
I get connection timed out. I can connect from home using telnet though...
which makes me guess its a problem with the sshd configuration.

Thanks for the suggestions

-sshd isn't wrapped in hosts.allow
-tried both IP address and name
-upped LoginGraceTime from 120 to 500 (ISDN dialup ISP)

I'll mail sysadmin and see if ssh is allowed from outside the network. Did
you mean portscan the network gateway... I'll see what sysadmin say first

Thanks

 Any number of possibilities...I'm not sure from what you've given.
 If you have more detail, it might help...

 1.  You didn't wrap sshd in /etc/hosts.allow, did you?  I doubt it,
 that would twist a message to /bin/echo you're not allowed.

 2.  Have your tried both by IP addy and name?  DNS issue?

 3.  Seems quite likely that the college sys admins are firewalling
 the WAN connection.  Ask them if you are allowed to use SSH
 from outside.  Or, if you're feeling anti-establishment today,
 portscan
 them and see if #22 is open, ;-)  However, seems strange they'd
 filter SSH and leave ol' insecure telnet open h.

 4.  It takes longer to connect and set up a tunnel, are you on
 a dial up ISP?  Check things like LoginGraceTime in
 /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

 I'm sure there are better men out there than I.  I use putty on WinXP
 all the time, however, and time outs are very rare.
