Unknown IP address shows FreeBSD server MAC in arp cache
Hi, I'm experiencing a weird problem and I have no idea where to begin with this one! Basically what's happening is that I did a host scan from my NetBSD box running Cacti in order to 'Auto Discover' machines on my network; a php script on the Cacti server added an IP address xxx.xxx.1.52. Seeing this as odd since I haven't configured any machine with this IP as it's in the DHCP range on my network and there aren't any machines running on DHCP on the particular VLAN either as everything is statically configured; I proceeded to check the arp cache of my NetBSD box which pointed to the MAC address of my FreeBSD server? Having a look round my network and servers each ping attempt to xxx.xxx.1.52 gives me a response and in the arp cache of each machine/device shows the FreeBSD server. Long ago I may have had this machine on xxx.xxx.1.52 but I can't recall and all settings in /etc/rc.conf for interfaces and Jails are fine and consistent with my Network Spec. My network has also had a massive overhaul since then as I've changed switches and router in the meantime too I have thought about arp poisoning but then again no other machine is connected to my network that I don't know about and since it's a home network there's really only me connected to it. Also I'm running OpenBSD as a firewall/router gateway which I've also checked thoroughly including Packet Filter and haven't found any issues. I also thought about RARP and bootparamd since I'm running a bunch of Sun SPARC systems in which I NetBooted but nothing on that front either showed any result. I additionally have checked the /etc/hosts files of all my systems and even my local DNS db files but nothing shows xxx.xxx.1.52 at all. The BSD version that I'm running on my FreeBSD server is 8.2 x64. Would anyone be able to help me out with this one? Basically why is a rogue or unknown IP address pointing to my FreeBSD box's NIC?

Fwd: Unknown IP address shows FreeBSD server MAC in arp cache
Well I managed to find the answer!! Scanning through /etc/defaults/rc.conf I noticed this: dhclient_program=/sbin/dhclient # Path to dhcp client program. dhclient_flags= # Extra flags to pass to dhcp client. Then I went back to check my DHCP server's log files and indeed a DHCP request came through from the server even though the IP's are all statically configured on it. Now all I have to do is tell the system not to use the dhclient program and then all will be sorted :-) Few.

Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
I use Virtualbox and FreeBSD 9, or 10 as the base OS and the windows 2003server, 2008 server, running in the virtualbox, My cpu is an AMD8120 8cores with 16GB of memory, the filesystem is in ZFS, I put 2Gb for each windows, and the system runs confortable with 20 users in each windows machine.. (total of 40 users) The boot (cold boot) for the 2003 server (32 bits) is about 10 seconds with an drive of 20GB and another of 400GB (in the virtualbox...) the NIC is configure with bridge, the FreeBSD gives address via dhcp server... both windows run with VboxHeadless and are both enable terminal servers Runs like a charm... ___ 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: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
As others have said, you can run VirtualBox without X. The command line tools provided by VirtualBox are pretty comprehensive and straight-forward. To add to that, there's also phpVirtualBox: https://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/ that provides a nice web interface to managing your VMs, though it appears the project is on pause right now. I actually have a few semi-production servers running under VirtualBox on a Linux host, as I found far better disk performance there for FreeBSD guests than under KVM. Hopefully that changes soon, if it hasn't already.

Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
Bill: 1. As I understand it you can install Virtual Box from the ports collection. That port or a good numbr of other VMWare apps exist in the ports tree - you are not restricted to V-Box. Starting the virtual machines is not xorg/login dependent. You can do this for any service through rc.conf So edit your /etc/rc.conf and insert whatevername_enable=YES to auto-start the service. The whatevername can be found by looking in /etc/rc.d for base-system included services or /usr/local/etc/rc.d for services installed through ports. 2. Once installed, I will be able to install something like Fedora or openSUSE? Yes, that's the whole idea behind VM's. Since SQL is needed, you will then have to install configure the mysql package for fedore/suse inside the VM. Installing mySQL from FreeBSD ports won't be of any good for the client's requirements. 3. 9-stable should do the job 4. Do whatever you are comfortable with. Finally: posted in an unrelated thread - you would have gotten better answers by starting your own.

(using VNC to connect to the consoles of them) Creating and configuring them takes a bit more, and as I am only on the second day of getting this figured out, I am not the best person to go more into detail. I actually created my vms on windows moved them over to FreeBSD the server to run them. It can all be done command line, just takes a while to learn. I am running mine on a AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1075T Processor, with 16G ram, so far I have had three VMs running at once, two FreeBSD 9.1p2 and one windows 2008r2, 3G ram assigned to each. Performance so far has been great, I will have it down to one VM in a few days, as I will convert the two FreeBSD VMs into jails, and just be left with the windows 2008r2 vm. the disks in my system are 2 Sata3 1TB volumes, with FreeBSD host installed on ZFS in mirrored zpool. Also running the 2 FreeBSD VMs from this mirror as well, and the sytem drive of the Windows server. The Windows server has a second data drive, that is mounted off 4 500MB SATA2 drives in a zfs raidz. Disk performance is better than what I had testing this setup on Windows 7 with Virtual box, using a hardware raid 10 on the 500MB drives and hardware mirror on the 1TB drives. I intend to migrate the windows data drive from a virtual disk to an iSCSI disk pointed to the same 500MB raidz once I get the FreeBSD iSCSI target setup figured out. This should hopefully get a little more speed out of the setup. Unfortunately as this setup is still in its early stages, I can't attest to how stable it will be. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Re: freebsd server limits question
Hi there Huhammet What are the contents of the following files on you're CentOS 6.x shards ? /etc/security/limits.confand /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf What version of MongoDB are you running, is it from packages (if so who's) or is it self compiled? Have you tried running the MongoDB shards on the most recent CentOS 5.x release? If so what differences do you note, if any? This could help diagnose the source of you're problems. Also what is the current stack size of you're MongoDB shards (set via the -s parameter) ? And lastly what is the system load like at the heaviest transaction points (vmstat and iostat can help you out there) ? If this is a branded name server set what is the exact model and hardware configuration? Are you running 32bit or 64bit instances of MongoDB on 32bit or 64bit CentOS 6.x ? Regards,...

We had similar problems, but have had zero problems in the past 2 months with high-load (read below).

Your mileage may vary, but I suspect that the above collection of tweaks will work well for you. They should be safe for both 32-bit (both regular and PAE) and 64 (all tested).

Re: freebsd server limits question
To deal with this kind of traffic you will most likely need to set up a mongo db cluster of more than a few instances… much better. There should be A LOT of info on how to scale mongo to the level you are looking for but most likely you will find that on ruby forums NOT on *NIX boards…. The OS boards/focus will help you with fine tuning but all the fine tuning in the world will not solve an app architecture issue… I have setup MASSIVE mongo/ruby installs for testing that can do this sort of volume with ease… the stack looks something like this…. Nginix Unicorn Sinatra MongoMapper MongoDB with only one Nginix instance can feed an almost arbitrary number of Unicorn/Sinatra/MongoMapper instances that can in turn feed a properly configured MongoDB cluster with pre-allocated key distribution so that the incoming inserts are spread evenly against the cluster instances… Even if you do not use ruby that community will have scads of info on scaling MongoDB. One more comment related to L's advice - true you DO NOT want more transactions queued up if your back-end resources cannot handle the TPS - this will just make the issue harder to isolate and potentially make the recovery more difficult. Better to reject the connection at the front-end than take it and blow up the app/system. The beauty of the Nginix/Unicorn solution (Unicorn is ruby specific) is that there is no queue that is feed to the workers when there are no workers - the request is rejected. The unicorn worker model can be reproduced for any other implementation environment (PHP/Perl/C/etc) outside of ruby in about 30 minutes. It's simple and Nginix is very well suited to low overhead reverse proxy to this kind of setup.

Re: freebsd server limits question
Sorry one more thought and a clarification…. I have found that it is best to run mongos with each app server instance most of the mongo interface libraries aren't intelligent about the way that they distribute requests to available mongos processes. mongos processes are also relatively lightweight and need no coordination or synchronization with each other - simplifies things a lot and makes any potential bugs/complexity with app server/mongo db connection logic just go away. It's pretty important when configuring shards to take on the write volume that you do your best to pre-allocate chunks and avoid chunk migrations during your traffic floods - not hard to do at all. There are also about a million different ways to deal with atomicity (if that is a word) and a very mongo specific way of ensuring writes actually made it to disk somewhere = from your brief description of the app in question it does not sound that it is too critical to ensure every single solitary piece of data persists no matter what as I am assuming most of it is irrelevant and becomes completely irrelevant after the show- or some time there after. Most of the programing and config examples make an opposite assumption in that they assume that each transaction MUST be completely durable - if you forgo that you can get screaming TPS out of a mongo shard.

But inbound connections fail, and rightly so: NO NAT *to* the guest through the host. I use VirtualBox these days, but if memory serves it is very much like Vmware in this regard. The OP needs to understand that the default install provides a NAT and a DHCP for the guest VM so it can be brought up automagically. I know in the VirtualBox documentation it is clearly explained about how incoming connections are not passed through this NAT. There are typically 3 networking configurations available: the default as described above, bridged, and host-only. Host-only does exactly what it sounds like - only the host machine and guest may communicate with each other. Bridged networking is what you want to set up if you want your VM to be totally available to your outside network. Hint: the bridge is not on the VM guest OS side, but rather the bridge would connect your Windows 7 host's NIC to the VM. A bridged config replaces the default install NAT. I haven't used Vmware for a while now, but in VirtualBox you can use the VBoxManage command line to enable port forwards in the default install's NAT. This is OK if you only want to make a small number of services available, like let's say only a web server on port 80. But you'll want a bridged config if you want the entire VM visible. -Mike ___ 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

Ola, You have BIND 8.3 as you wrote to me. Check manual if it supports SRV records. If so -- you do not have to upgrade your OS now.

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Using the standard version query syntax below.. dig +short @ns1.partnershiphp.org version.bind txt chaos DNS Server v2090 She seems to have a DNS server that I'm both unfamiliar with and unable to find with a search engine. So, as you say, this is a DNS server question not an OS question. Ola, you must find out which software is being used to provide DNS name service from this machine before proceeding. If 'lsof' is not already installed, as root, install it with pkg_add -rv http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-4.11-release/All/lsof-4.73.1.tgz then as root use lsof -i :53 to identify the name service binary and current PID on your machine. With that data, you should be able to ask more specific questions about managing the name service being used. - Mark On 17 Mar 2011, at 21:54, Ilya Kazakevich wrote: Hello, What name server do you use?

Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and
I've watched this thread for several days now and to put in my 2 cents: 1. Samba is not that complicated. I've been using it for years and can have it up and configured in a matter of minutes. 2. Samba quickly allows you to see your FreeBSD servers from your windows clients just like it was a Windows Server. A simple smb.conf file is all you need. 3. You can get a lot more complex setup with Samba with security, R/W options etc... but for what you're descibing I'd recommend Samba or use a graphical FTP client on your Windows clients to access your FreeBSD server. Command line FTP is an option but it's a lot more complicated than just setting up Samba. Good luck. ___ 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

Is there a simple software to share files between a FreeBSD server and a windows client other than Samba which is a bit overkill for my needings, I concur with the advice to use Samba, but if that's too scary, you can just use FTP. Recent versions of Windows let you define a network location that is an FTP server, and it works well enough to show the files in a pseudo-folder and drag them back and forth to local folders.

Inconsistent behavior. PHP5 FreeBSD server Vs PHP5 Windows Server.
Hi,
I have a strange problem with PHP5 on FreeBSD.
When run on a FreeBSD server the decrypt function of a xTea encryption
library does not work correctly. While the same PHP code runs without
problem on a Windows Server. Has anybody experienced similar problems? I
am at a dead end any help would be much appreciated.
Windows output:
xTea
A secret message. Meet at 21:00 by the old bridge to talk about the new plan.

Note encryption works fine it is possible to encrypt the message on
FreeBSD and decrypt the message on Windows. The message also decrypts
correctly using a Javascript implementation of xTea. The only part that
fails is decrypt under FreeBSD. Is this expected and common?
PHP source:
?php
require('xTEA.php');
$key = 'Password';
$input = A secret message. Meet at 21:00 by the old bridge to talk
about the new plan.;
//Encrypt
$ct_data = base64_encode(cryptN($input, $key, TRUE, 32));
//Decrypt

Note #2 I used several slices with sizes some may not agree with. It was a choice we made for various reasons, the servers have been running for three years. You may have more or less slices of varying sizes, adjust the steps below to your preferences. Note #3 You will need to check and WRITE DOWN which slice is which mount point, /, /var, /usr and so on. Your disks may be different if you choose not to create a seperate /tmp, or /var. I'll be out of the office for a week, but you can try and adjust as needed, it won't hurt anything and you can always overwrite and try again. WRITE IT DOWN. Works for us, I've used it several times, adjusting as needed for the system I am cloning.

Then I run following to update boot loader: fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 bsdlabel -B /dev/ad0s1 However, the cloned system can't find kernel on reboot. What am I missing?

What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction? I know I have already asked this question but there is a slight difference, the real server is running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8 AMD64 version. The duplicated version which will be running in a VM is only going to be the i386 version. What would be the best way to attack this problem? The stuff that needs to be synced would be a MySQL database along with a website. Everything else probably doesn't matter...

I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. The best and easiest way I know of is using /usr/ports/net/rsync for this task. I often used it to move BSD or Linux systems to new hardware or transfer them into a VM. I usually make sure that the kernel supports all important hardware on the target machine and that /etc/fstab is correct. After that I start to transfer filesystem after filesystem with e.g.: # rsync -avxH --delete --exclude /etc/fstab / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ You might want to exclude other files (e.g. /etc/rc.conf) from being overwritten, I guess. The nice thing with rsync is that only diffs are transferred, so it would be easy and fast to keep your VM in sync with the source machine. Uwe P.S.: Yesterday I moved a FreeBSD 4.5 system from a Proliant 3000 (~7 years old) to a VMware Server VM using rsync. All I had to take care of was the use of a GENERIC kernel, a new /etc/fstab and a changed ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Note #2 I used several slices with sizes some may not agree with. It was a choice we made for various reasons, the servers have been running for three years. You may have more or less slices of varying sizes, adjust the steps below to your preferences. Note #3 You will need to check and WRITE DOWN which slice is which mount point, /, /var, /usr and so on. Your disks may be different if you choose not to create a seperate /tmp, or /var. I'll be out of the office for a week, but you can try and adjust as needed, it won't hurt anything and you can always overwrite and try again. WRITE IT DOWN. Works for us, I've used it several times, adjusting as needed for the system I am cloning.

Why do they choose to do logos for other non-international holidays, but nothing for Veterans? Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My price range is below $300. Get a couple of 150G USB disks. They work great, you can use dump/restore or just pax -r -w to copy stuff to the disks. I'm a big fan of offsite storage, so I actually have three USB disks. I leave two plugged into the computer so it can dump on alternate nights, and put one in my bank safe deposit box. Every week or so I take one of the two disks down to the bank and swap. R's, John Have you also considered tape backup as well as standard disks? Tapes are a bit more expensive, but overall a more static backup / archiving solution than disks. Besides, they're cheaper in the long run from what remember.
