Nov 01 - 03 (21 posts): About introducing newbies to FreeBSD

- -

Quoting a lengthy post to freebsd-questions regarding the usability - of /stand/sysintall for newbies, [Micke - Josefsson] asked for comments and suggestions from the list about - a new user interface for a regular install.

- -

Some notable thoughts were:

- -
-

I think there should be some info available in sysinstall - (or whatever replaces it) explaining what is happening in each - step, and the relevant terms...The terms I speak of here are the - FreeBSDish terms (as opposed to generic UNIX terms like users - & groups) that every rookie asks about - slice? distribution? - port? package? The context of each step is not - explained. - [Steve - Tremblett]

-
- -
-

Since most of our new users come to us from either Windows - or Linux, we need an installation program that is a lot more like - the ones that they've used in the past. I've often wondered how - many users we lose while they are trying to load the OS. What I - would really like to see is a FreeBSD installer on par with the - UnixWare 7 or Tru64 5.0 installers (a clone of SCO Admin would be - nice too!). Failing that, we probably need something that looks - more like a Linux installer, or a really good rosetta stone. - - [Bob Martin]

-
- -
-

To get back on track, one of sysinstalls failings, while not - being a technical point, is it's image. Everytime I talk to some - llama who's installing linux, he goes "OOOOOOhhhhh look at all the - pretty colors, mmmmmmmmmmm graphical install...does FreeBSD have - that???" Of course me being the civilized being that I am, instead - of smacking them upside the head then and there, I wait till they - are finished installing, and laugh my arse off linuxconf shits - itself for the 20th time...So in conclusion, in order to make - FreeBSD's initial installation easier for the - novice/unix beginner/grandma, yes, sysinstall does need an - overhaul. - [Haikal - Saadh]

-
- -
-

What is absolutely maddening is the way the installer accepts - input from the users. Sometimes you press (or are supposed to - press) <RETURN> and some other times you are supposed to - press <SPACE>. But the worst part is when you just finished - installing the OS and you find yourself back in a menu telling you - to do some final adjustments. If you decide to do these final - adjustments, the f*****ng installer installs the OS again! - Itīs outrageous! - [Ignacio - Cristerna]

-
- -

Obviously, we all agree – we need some sort of new and/or - separate "first boot install" for newbies coming to us from Windows, - Linux, etc... and according to [Jordan Hubbard], this - discussion has been going on for a long, long, long time...

- -
-

I'm not just being snide here, we really have had this very - same discussion (and in almost the same words) on and off for the - last 7 years now. It's hardly rocket science to envision an - installer which has one big button on it which even your - grandmother could push, the question always boiling down to "Who - the heck is going to write this thing then?""

- -

That's generally where the discussion stops. Every man and - his dog can describe an installer which follows in the footsteps - of Windows, Solaris or even OS X now that we have its installer to - look at since imitation is a pretty straight-forward design - challenge. As I first said back in 1993, "who will step up to the - plate and create this alternative installer so that we can evaluate - its merits and possibly even make it the default?" I'm still - waiting for an answer to that question, 7 years later. :-)"

Nov 03 - 04 (10 posts): Any artists interested in doing a FreeBSD animated GIF banner?

- -

[Jordan Hubbard] is - asking for graphically talented geeks out there to work up a banner - ad for rotation on various sites including DæmonNews. Image size - should be 468x60 pixels, and no larger than 20k. This is to promote - the FreeBSD project, so open up the Gimp or whatever your fancy is, - and email Jordan with what you come up with. Remember, you're not - going to get paid for this, the warm fuzzy feeling you get for - working on the FreeBSD project is enough :-)

- - - -
- -

Nov 02 - 05 (10 posts): CounterStrike

- -

This thread started out with [Marius Bendiksen] urging us to - push for a CounterStrike (a HalfLife mod) server port. The first step - would be to start out with a port skeleton for the dedicated Linux - server, then the push would begin with Sierra Games for a full - port. [Daryl Chance] - replied with a 'make search key=halflife', stating that the server - was indeed already ported. Marius still thinks the game should be - ported itself though...

- -

A sub-discussion about using Open Sound System vs. FreeBSD's built-in - sound support for popular games ensued, and [Terry - Lambert] tells us:

- -
-

Most games require a specific sound card API. This API is - supported natively in Linux, but FreeBSD does not support this - API. To use this API, you must have third party (OSS) sound card - drivers, or modify FreeBSD's API. When you suggest this to the - sound driver people, they tend to get belligerant and talk about - how their API is better than the Linux API."

- -

The OSS drivers are not free, they cost money, but you can use - them in evaluation mode for 30 days at a pop, so if you want to - play a game and not pay for the drivers, you have to reinstall them - every 30 days (I personnaly call this "paying for the drivers in - the most expensive way possible").

-
- -

To which [Dag-Erling Smorgrav] replied:

- -
-

Bollocks. It implements the OSS API, or at least tries to. - If something doesn't work, submit a PR or, even better, patches, - instead of just bitching and spreading disinformation.

-
- -

[Jordan] and [Jim] assure us that both Loki - games in the ports tree play audio just fine with the stock audio - driver, requiring no changes to the game or your system.

- - - -
- -

Nov 03 - 05 (10 posts): Installation: what to (not) do about it

- -

Here we have Terry Lambert and Jordan Hubbard discussing the previous - thread about the FreeBSD Installation software. We'll skip the lengthy - discussion between these two, but basically, the conversation boils down - to this:

- -
-

I am merely pointing out that it has been much longer than a - year without a new installer, and had their terms been agreed to - a year ago, FreeBSD would have its installer source code today, and - under the terms you are insisting upon, up front.

- -

So now it's your turn to "put up or shut up"; I _can't_ expend - the effort on these things without a guarantee that that effort will - not be wasted, like it was last time I spent the effort on these - and similar projects on behalf of FreeBSD. I _can't_ afford to" - - [Terry Lambert]

-
- -
-

And this is speculation masquerading as fact. You have no - sure way of knowing that this would, in fact, have occurred or - that "two FreeBSDs" would have even been widely accepted by the - project contributors or the user community. I see it as far more - likely that your mysterious commercial benefactors would have been - deluged with demands that they open source their product - immediately so that people could customize it and this might in - turn have led to a siege mentality on their part and very poor - results. You simply have no way of knowing for sure what you claim - as fact above.

- -

Like I've told you many times, Terry, nobody gets a "guarantee" - of anything in this project since it's not a kitchen appliance - dealership which hands out limited customer guarantees along with - every frigidair they sell. What you get is the chance to deal with - a large group of people and try, through dint of effort and - perserverance, to sell them on your ideas and (more importantly) - your working code. Even if I wanted to change this as part of - "putting up or shutting up" for you I could not since it's not in - my power to beam hypno-rays directly into the brains of several - hundred people and get them all to agree up front to buy a used - car from you. That's something that you, and only you, can do. - Same deal *everyone* else gets. In short, this is life, deal with - it. - [Jordan - Hubbard]

-
- -
- -

This conspectus expresses my understanding of what occurred on the - FreeBSD-advocacy mailing list during the specified week.

Hey, I'm human... I may have made an error or two... If you think - this is the case, and/or that I have omitted some significant thread - or part of a thread, feel free to contact me via email.

This discussion is also continued on from last - week. Some interesting additions to the conversation were:

- -
-

Some games have bugs that have audible manifestations on - FreeBSD but not on Linux, probably because FreeBSD follows the - spec instead of emulating OSS or Linux bug for bug - [Dag-Erling Smorgrav]

Nov 10 (2 posts): FreeBSD Foundation: Examples of FreeBSD as teaching aid/research platform

- -

[Michael Wu] sends us a - couple specific examples of how FreeBSD is used as either a teaching - aid or a research platform by educational institutions.

- -
    -
  • National Chiao Tung - University - The Department of Computer Science and - Information Engineering at this university in Taiwan uses FreeBSD - to teach OS Arch. An estimated 10-15% of *.edu.tw workstations - are running FreeBSD, with a major following in the dorms as well.
    • - -
  • University of Texas at Austin - - As a teaching assistant, Michael himself uses FreeBSD as a - supplement his classes. The Professor uses C++, Codewarrior/x86, - and he has decided to withhold opinion on that.
    • - -
  • Purdue - runs FreeBSD - in their computer labs, according to Will Andrews].
    • - -
  • University - of Southern California - has a course on FreeBSD System - Administration, but [Kris - Kennaway] isn't sure on how often its offered. "The Complete - FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey is required material.
    • -
- - - -
- -

Nov 07 (2 posts): Good piece of advocacy

- -

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven] - wanted to clue us in on a book he recently purchased. It seems - that Warren W. Gay has written a book called "Advanced UNIX - Programming" that uses FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE throughout the entire - book to test examples. Warren also supports and mentions FreeBSD a - lot. If you'd like to take a look at his book, I found it at Amazon. - The ISBN number is 0-672-31990-X.

Nov 06 - Nov 12 (7 posts): Installation: what to (not) do about it

- -

Another thread stretched into its 2nd week, Terry & Jordan are still - discussing an alternative to /stand/sysinstall. A couple of - interesting tidbits:

- -
-

It would be nice if the project would publish a roadmap - indicating what it wants from developers, so that they don't end - up spending an incredible amount of effort, only to find themselves - stonewalled later. If the project would at least publish an - architectural roadmap for even only six months ahead, I think it - would help to commit more people to expending the necessary effort - to see to those goals.

- -

Clearly, the SMPng work is one goal that's pretty widely - known, thanks to Jason Evans and others publishing their - direction; if the project could be that forthcoming in other - areas, then there would be a "guarantee" that, even if the work was - ultimately rejected, at least you could know that you were - travelling in the right direction, instead of getting to your - goal, only to have the project say "that's nice, but that's not - where we are headed". At least put up some street signs". - - [Terry Lambert]

-
- -
-

Roadmaps are produced by people with the time and energy to - write roadmaps. One of the reasons SMPng is going so well is - that we paid to fly a bunch of people to a kick-off meeting and - get them working more cohesively together and then we continued - to pay the manager of the project to do it on a full-time basis. - Management is pretty important where the generation and - implementation of roadmap documents is concerned and it's as hard - to get it done on a purely volunteer basis as it is to get - companies to pay for it in all the areas it needs done.

- -

I'd love to see more management and more roadmaps but I've - also learned to live with the fact that there will never be as - much of either as I or most anyone else would like. - [Jordan Hubbard]

Nov 20 (3 posts): About the Symbolism

- -

Here we have [Stanislav - Posonsky] asking us about the d¦mon logo, which he - refers to as an "impish creature", and whether or not we should - give up this "devilry" in favor of a more neutral symbol for our - logo/image.

- -

[Will Andrews] - replied, letting Stanislav know that this has been discussed - MANY times, and gave us a nice explanation of why - we like the d¦mon, and why we keep it.

- -
-

It is not an impish creature. It's a daemon, which is a - generic name for a server process, such as Apache, or inetd, or - syslogd, etc. The fork the daemon wields refers to the fork() - system call. As you can see, there is no relationship between - Satanic images and our mascot. - [Will Andrews]

Well, it seems we still haven't stopped discussing why this - original post shouldn't have been Cc'd - to -advocacy. A few good quotes this week:

- -
-

It's plain common sense to not Cc advocacy. Apart from the - unwanted implication that you're a spokesman for FreeBSD - advocacy, there is a danger of the recipient of your mail - getting submerged in a deluge of -advocacy replies. Luckily, - that didn't happen in this case. - [Rahul - Siddharthan]

-
- -
-

No, he's just trying to get you to stop sending email that - has the appearance of collusion with the FreeBSD Project. If - you want to send a "heads up" to a FreeBSD mailing list use BCC - so the person or company you're sending the mail to will not - misconstrue your message as coming from or being approved by the - FreeBSD Project or Advocacy group. - [Wes Peters]

The gratis software churned out by projects - like FreeBSD and OpenBSD is in arguably superior to most - mainstream Linux distributions, both in terms of security and - portability.

May 23 - May 27 (20 posts): Re: ad0 drivers revisited

-

Last week's thought-provoking debate - continued this week; the discussion focused on a few possible - workarounds for circumventing the well-known ad driver bug - early in the booting process. It seems that an effective - solution has not still been implemented. However, a number of - interesting suggestions were offered.

- -

The point is that, in order to prevent any HD damage, PIO mode - should be set by default very early at boot time. Albeit the - bug only manifests itself in the worst form in a very limited - number of cases -- ie rather special combinations of hardware - components -- when it does, it does ...

May 25 - May 29 (19 posts): Problems compiling FreeBSD stable

- -

On May 25, 2000, [Graham Wheeler] - met a number of errors in the make world process while compiling - gcc. After some experimentation, he got rid of them by using the - "i" option for make. He seems to be the only person in the forum - to have found these errors; probably, they were caused by an - incorrect updating procedure.

- -

Although the problems were soon easily solved, several fine - points were hinted at in this thread: in particular, such a - secondary specific procedure as "make includes", which is - (usually) relevant to -CURRENT.

- - - -
- -

May 24 - May 26 (10 posts):  4-stable won't boot

- -

The boot problem in question turned out to be trivial: the ata - device was commented out (!) in the kernel configuration file. -

- -

The correspondents, subsequently, went on to describe their - experience with such dangerous options as AUTO_EOI_1 and - AUTO_EOI_2. - - - - -

- -

May 23 - May 23 (1 posts): solved Re: spontaneous reboots

- -

On May 23, 2000, - [Fritz - Heinrichmeyer] announced that he had solved his spontaneous - reboot problem by upgrading to -STABLE -- the SMP cleanups - seemed to require a recompilation.

- -

Incidentally, I have read about spontaneous reboots a good number - of times in the FreeBSD mailing lists. The most common cause is - bad hardware; sometimes, as in the present situation, the cause - is of software nature. Upgrading to -STABLE, as is very often the - case, is the solution to that vexed question.

- -

On May, 29, however, Fritz wrote again. Other spontaneous - reboots, in fact, occurred a few days later. Also, - [MI] reported on the - same matter -- MI, too, has been running SMP boards. - This anomalous behavio(ur) seems to be specifically related to - the SMP code, and is currently under investigation. - - - -

May 26 - May 27 (5 posts): making 4.0 DOS resistant

-

[Sameer R.Manek] - was seeking information about FreeBSD strategies for handling - DOS attacks.

- -

[Bill Fumerola] - pointed out that such options as ICMP_BANDLIM, - TCP_DROP_SYNFIN, and TCP_RESTRICT_RST, albeit useful in fighting - DOS attacks (e.g. attacks on IRC servers), cannot cope with - spoofed ip syn floods. In particular, Bill is going to publish - some (on-line) material about DOS attacks at large: -

- -
-

stay tuned... though I'll probably post my - findings/suggestions on -security when I finally write - them up.

May 23 - May 23 (2 posts): Problems with NFS on FreeBSD 4.0

-

[Paul A. Howes] , - answering a letter of [Zherdev - Anatoly]'s, suggested a procedure for installing ports over - a network:

- -
-

What I usually do is perform the first-time build and - install on the server. Then, when I need one of the - applications in /usr/ports on a different system, I - NFS-mount /usr/ports and perform a "make reinstall" to get - the application installed, but not built from scratch, on - the client.

-
- -
-

I do it this way, because I had been alerted to - permission problems in the building of various components. - It's just simpler to do all of the builds on a server, and - only do the installs on the client. Besides, my server is - a faster machine than the clients I have, so builds go - MUCH faster on it.

-

May 27 - May 29 (3 posts): Strange message

[Derek Tattersall] wrote: -

I am getting a message shortly after boot-up finishes which puzzles me. - The message follows:

[Lucas Ertl] - replied: -

I had almost the same message here, but it was host - 13.10.15.10 instead of 0.0.0.0. The problem was a program - called "LanGuard", installed on the Win2k box of one of my - co-workers, that continously sent out arp requests but spoofed - the MAC address of the machines NIC.

You could try:

and then hunt down the MAC address.

May 24 - May 27 (5 posts): Transparent proxies and fetch

May 23 - May 23 (6 posts):  tun0: Warning: CHAP 0x81 not supported

May 22 - May 23 (4 posts): Re: -CURRENT Mylex on stable?

-

[Shawn Barnhart] asked for the diffs - making Mylex work under -STABLE.

-

[Mike Smith] rejoined:

- -
-

1) Get the diffs.

-

You will need a CVS repository, or use the cvsweb interface - at http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/ to extract the diffs. - Note that mlx.c, mlx_disk.c, mlx_pci.c and mlxvar.h all - changed in this fix.

-

2) Apply the diffs.

-
- -

Shawn Barnhart:

-
-

I'm missing where the end result of diff/patch differs from - the files themselves. It's a nice exercise, but kind of a - PITA when you're not a CVS user.

-
- -

Mike Smith:

-
-

The goal is to extract the changes I made to portions of the - driver that are largely common between the two versions. -

May 24 - May 25 (7 posts): ntpdate could not sync time from any server

- -

[Lev Serebryakov] could not - syncronize time on his homebox via ntpdate over a V.90 - connection. - -

On the same wavelenght, complaining about ntpdate not - syncing over a DSL line, - [Glen Gross] added:

- -
-

I have had the same experience, with a DSL line. I don't - know if ntpdate requires the time to be within a certain - threshold before it will sync or not.
- Does anyone know the answer to this?

-
- -

[Ian Smith] - replied:

- -
-

Yes, it does; -t sets the time ntpdate will wait for a valid - response. Still get one of these logged once every few days - when upstream PPP link is extra heavily used, but used to get - it much more often before using:

-
- 
      ntpdate -t 2.4 -s ntp.ml.csiro.au ntp.cs.mu.oz.au judge.lis.net.au
-
-

That's 2.4 seconds. man ntpdate isn't exactly clear re the - unit format, but it does say that the default of 1 second is - suitable for a LAN.

May 25 - May 26 (4 posts): 3DNow! binutils & Mesa for -STABLE

- -

[Randall Hopper] - posted the following message:

- -
-

Thanks to David O'Brien for upgrading -current's binutils. - This new version supports AMD 3DNow! for the K6-2, K6-III, - and Athelon folks.

-

Wanting 3DNow support in gas, I pulled a copy from CVS and - built it for 3.4-RELEASE (w/ gdb commented out). Now Mesa - and friends detect and build in 3DNow support for Mesa on - -stable.

-

For other -stable folks that want to give it a shot, just - fetch copies of src/contrib/binutils and src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils - modules from the latest CVS

-
- 
   ("cvs checkout <module>").
-
-

Also, I'll be happy to send binutils exec binaries to - anyone running 3.4.

-
- -

[Wilko Bulte] asked:

- -
-

Do thinks like fxtv use 3dnow to their advantage (I guess - not)? But I assume the various mpeg* things might?

-
- -

[Randall Hopper] remarked: -

- -
-

No fxtv doesn't, and I think you're right. As I recall MMX - adds SIMD integer ops which is where the boost would be for - things like pixel repacking. 3DNow's primary add was parallel - floating/fixed point I believe.

-

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'll likely stack fxtv on - the hermes port one of these days if there isn't a big - turn-out for an alternative video API.

May 31 - June 01 (3 posts): 3.5 Release date

- -

On May 31, 2000, [Jordan - K. Hubbard] announced to the -stable community a possible - date for the release of FreeBSD-3.5: June 20.

- -

On the same day, [James - Housley] reminded the -stable forum that CTM did not still work as - it should:

- -
-

I have a PR that I think should be resolved before the release: - http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18058

- -

Description:

- -

src/usr.sbin/ctm/ctm/ctm_input.c limits files to 10Meg - (10485760). cvs-cur.6200xEmpty.gz has a file, - src/sys/dev/isp/asm_pci.h,v that is greather than 11Meg, - actually 11913588 bytes.

-
- -

[Vivek Khera], - replying to Jordan's letter, remarked:

- -
-

I was just investigating the NIS server on 3.4-STABLE, and noticed - that the docs claim that TCP wrappers are not compiled in - by default since they are not shipped with FreeBSD... - However, that is no longer the case.

- -

Can we get this security updgrade included in the next - release? All that seems to be necessary is to define - YP_WRAPPER in the Makefile and link to the libwrap that is - part of the system now.

-

May 30 - May 30 (1 posts): Announce: -stable commit lists

On May 30, 2000, [David - Miller] made this proclamation:

- -

Anyone could use procmail to filter the list himself, but I - thought this was more convenient, especially for those not set up - with procmail.

June 01 - June 01 (1 posts): HEADS UP: Data corruption bug in Vinum found and fixed

- -

On June 1, 2000, [Greg Lehey] - promulgated the following important result:

- -
-

I've just discovered (and fixed) a serious data - corruption bug in Vinum. Under certain circumstances, - serious data corruption can result:

- -

1. You are using RAID-4 or RAID-5 plexes.
- 2. One of these plexes (not the first plex in the system, - whether a RAID-[45] plex or not) develops parity problems.
- 3. You correct these errors with the 'rebuildparity' - command.

- -

Under these circumstances, the corrected blocks will probably be - written to the wrong subdisk. The original parity errors - will remain.

- -

The fix is in 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT (revisions 1.22.2.1 - and 1.29, respectively). I don't think that 3-STABLE - currently supports the rebuildparity command, but I shall - check and MFC if necessary.

June 01 - June 01 (2 posts): smbfs for FreeBSD 3.4

- -

On June 1, 2000, [Boris Popov] - broadcast some good news:

- -
-

Native smbfs for FreeBSD now supports version 3.4 of this - OS (it may also run on 3.2 or 3.3, but definitely 'll crash - on 3.1).

- -

Please note, that FreeBSD 3.4 doesn't contain - src/sys/crypto directory which is required if you want to use - encrypted passwords. You have to pull this directory from - either FreeBSD 4.0 or -current (collection src-sys-crypto).

June 03 - June 05 (5 posts): PCCARD support

- -

[Warner Losh] - replied that he would add that entry to pccard.conf, and that - he would also document a few minor points; the next day - [Mitsuru Iwasaki] - MFC'ed the relevant code -- as had been agreed -- but ahead - of schedule.

- -

As an aside, Archie was able to solve all of his problems thanks - to the suggestions from the mailing lists.

June 04 - June 05 (2 posts): 3dfx driver

- -

On June 4, 2000, [Coleman Kane] - made this announcement:

- -
-

I have finished the 3dfx driver for FreeBSD finally. What should I - do with it now, the tarball would be a little big to stick on - the list I assume. It is basically a device driver that can be - compiled as a kld or static kernel driver, and another module - that is loaded after the linux module to facilitate the linux - ioctl interface (which requires drivers to register their own - ioctls for linux). Anyway, is there someone in charge of - taking care of this sort of thing, or some testers?

He was told that bad 144 tables were no longer supported - under 4.0 - as is well-known - and that there were no tools to - deal with them on his updated machine. After searching the 'Net, - Bharat, thanks to [David - Babler]'s indications, came to the following conclusions:

- -
-

When I installed FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE on my machine there was no - indication that bad144 (bad sector forwarding) was not a good - idea. Support for bad144 went away in 4.0, so if you are using - it in 3.4 this will get in the way of upgrading. After you - reinstall the kernel and reboot it will not let you remounte - your root partition and will give you an error message like - this:

- - 
wd0: bad sector table not supported
-wd0s1: bad sector table not supported
- -

So here are some common questions and answers:

- -

Q: How do I tell if my drive has bad144 on it, BEFORE I - try to upgrade to FreeBSD 4.0 and have it fail on me?

- -

A: Use the disklabel utility. 'disklabel -r wd0' (replace - wd0 with your drive device) will give you the contents of - your disk label. For example:

- - 
# /dev/rwd0c:
-type: ESDI
-disk: wd0s1
-label: 
-flags: badsect		<--- NOTE!
-bytes/sector: 512
-sectors/track: 63
- -

Q: How do I remove bad144?

- -

A: The easiest way to do this is to use disklabel. You can - dump the current label out to disk and then reload it, or - you can just edit it in place with 'disklabel -e -r wd0'. - All you have to do is remove 'badsect' from the flags line - and you're all set. This won't affect any of your data. - bad144 is probably still taking up some space on your disk - but it is no longer in effect.

-
- -

Bharat has also sent the following PR: docs/19010: - bad144 obsoletion by 4.0 is undocumented; fix is - undocumented.

June 02 - June 02 (2 posts): Reboots on Alpha System running 4.0 Stable

- -

After updating a Digital AlphaServer 400 4/233 from 4.0-R to - 4.0-S, [Sparhawk] - saw some reboots: fatal kernel trap, memory management - fault (trap entry=0x02). An opennap napster server had been - running on the machine.

- -

[Kevin M. Dultzo] - had the same experience on a PC164 500MHz running (underclocked) - at 466MHz

- -

The problem is currently under investigation.

June 05 - June 05 (1 posts): Spontaneous reboot with STABLE SMP kernel

- -

[Fritz - Heinrichmeyer] encountered other spontaneous reboots on his SMP server. He promised that he would send a detailed PR as soon as he found the time.

- - - -
- -

May 30 - June 01 (18 posts): GENERIC 4.0 kernel compile fails on in_cksum.c

- -

[Bharat Meditatta] could - not upgrade from 3.4-S to 4.0-S because the kernel build had - died with an in_cksum.c-related error code 1.

- -

He was advised to proceed in two steps -- 4.0-R, 4.0-S -- - in order to avoid any potential problems. However, - [Warner Losh] pointed out - that the -STABLE update path (3.4-S --> 4.0-S) would still be - considered as safe unless there was actual evidence against it. - Other people as well as Warner had in fact succeeded in - performing the above-mentioned upgrading operation a few days - before -- [Guido van Rooij] - had done that even from 3.1 albeit this required a suitable (but - not difficult) sequence of actions. In the end, Warner agreed - to slightly modify the UPDATING file so that it would contain - a more reliable method.

- -

As is (should be) well-known, the UPDATING file to be considered - is the new one downloaded via e.g. cvsup.

- -

Here is Warner's upgrading scheme outlined in his own words:

- -
- 
make buildworld
-<follow directions to build/install a kernel>
-cd /usr/src/sys/modules
-make install
-cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod
-make install
-<follow rebuild disk /dev entries above>	[1]
-reboot
- -

Rather than the current order, since I know that this - works. It also puts the system in an inconsistant state - for a shorter period of time since the modules are - installed just after the kernel, rather than before the - build of the kernel starts.

- -

Comments?

May 30 - June 05 (3 posts): Make world fails on latest 2.2.8...

- -

The problem should have been solved by now. The cause - was one of [Josef Karthauser]'s; - commits; which change was withdrawn by [Kris Kenneway].

- -

Actually, Josef had not yet received the relevant letters (email - problems); he was going to analyze the whole matter in the - next few days.

June 05 - June 05 (1 posts): FATAL FS Mount bug in -STABLE and -RELEASE

- -

On June 5, 2000, [Troy Arie - Cobb] reported that -STABLE and -RELEASE were affected by a - dangerous NFS bug:

- -
-

I've found a fatal filesystem mount bug in both 4.0-STABLE - and 4.0-RELEASE, tested on the 20000604 snapshot of - 4.0.

- -

With both the GENERIC kernel and a custom kernel, the - system hangs tight when more than about 256 filesystems are - mounted. I've tested this with loopback NFS mounts, remote - NFS mounts, and local NULL mounts. The machine freezes, - responds to pings and changing of virtual console, but - accepts no input. No errors are written to /var/log or - console. A hard reset is the only way out, CTRL-ALT-DEL - doesn't work.

-
- -

The next day, he added that the bug did not concern 3.4-STABLE.

- - - -
- -

May 31 - May 31 (1 posts): Finally....A solution, It would appear

- -

[Larry Rosenman] - had found a number of errors while making the world in the - previous few days; on which errors he had reported in several - other threads. Eventually, the trouble turned out to be due to - bad hardware.

- -

After such an experience, it seems that his vendor is going to - utilize FreeBSD & "make world" in order to test hardware - reliability ...

- - - -
- -

May 30 - May 31 (6 posts): -jn and -STABLE world

- -

The question was asked whether the -jn option could be reliably - employed to make installworld. It seems that it is not the case.

- - - -
- -

May 29 - May 30 (9 posts): 4.0-stable, OpenSSH v1 & v2

- -

[Kenneth W. Cochran] - asked whether/when OpennSSH v2 would go into -STABLE, and - what exactly he should do in order to enable v2 and to turn off - v1.

- -

[Kris Kennaway] - answered that OpenSSH v2 would soon be integrated into -STABLE; - he also confirmed that the right way to disable OpenSSH v1 is - to uncomment the NO_OPENSSH line in /etc/make.conf; finally, he - stated that the corresponding port would disappear as soon as - they ceased supporting FreeBSD 3.x in ports.

June 06 - June 07 (2 posts): HEADS UP: More important Vinum information

- -

No sooner had [Greg Lehey] fixed a - Vinum bug than he found out another.

- -

The next day, he added - that his /src/sys/dev/vinum/vinumrevive.c commit (to -CURRENT) - would probably solve the problem -- he was still testing.

- -

On June 7, 2000, Greg announced that he had just - merged with 4.0-STABLE the fixes for the RAID-5 revive corruption - bug. He strongly recommended 4.0-STABLE and 5-CURRENT users to update as - soon as possible, and, until then, not to attempt anything on RAID-5 - plexes that had lost (or would lose) a subdisk. Finally, he promised - that he would very soon commit a large MFC to 3-STABLE so that the - matter might be settled for that branch as well.

- - - -
- -

June 09 - June 09 (1 posts): HEADS UP: OpenSSH 2.1.0 merge

- -

On June 9, 2000, [Kris Kennaway] - proclaimed that he had merged with -stable the OpenSSH 2.1.0 code - from -current.

- -

He also provided the following information:

- -
-

The major new feature of OpenSSH 2.x is support for the - SSH2 protocol and DSA keys, freeing it from the dependency - on RSAREF for USA people. It interoperates well with the - ssh2 port and other SSH2 clients/servers - see - http://www.openssh.com - for more interop details. Another new feature is support for - OPIE passwords in SSH1 mode.

- -

Missing from OpenSSH 2.1.0 is support for OPIE and Kerberos in - SSH2 mode, which will be hopefully added later.

- -

For more information on how to use OpenSSH 2.1, see the - manpages, the file /usr/src/crypto/openssh/README.openssh2 - and www.openssh.com. - Server DSA key generation is automatic the next time you - boot with sshd_enable=YES in rc.conf, or you can do it by - hand (see the above README).

-
- -

Owing to some syntax errors, the OpenSSH MFC caused a temporary - breach of -STABLE; the difficulty, however, was soon overcome.

- - - -
- -

June 08 - June 08 (1 posts): "sbsize" path for testing!!

- -

On June 8, 2000, [Brian Fundakowski - Feldman] made the following announcement:

- -
-

Per request of users and the security officer, I've - backported the changes from 4.0/5.0 which allow - administrative control over the socket resources a user can - allocate. I need testers to get this done before - 3.5-RELEASE, as my crash-box is -CURRENT. I think I have - caught all of the problematic parts of the code and merged - things correctly, so I do not _expect_ anything to go wrong.

- -

The big problem is that people are using the DoS (indeed, - it has just been reposted on BugTraq for some unknown - reason), and something must be done to prevent a user from - crashing the system like that. Changing the limit is as - easy as modifying /etc/login.conf, and a default value - should be in place. I don't know what the default value - should be, so I invite estimates on how much socket buffer - space a user really needs.

- -

The patch, which will necessitate both a make world and - new kernel/modules build, is located at: - http://people.FreeBSD.org/~green/sbsize_etc.RELENG_3.patch.

- -

In addition to the sbsize change, there's a relatively - minor change to struct socket which does break binary - compatibility of kernel modules if they use that member - (so_cred). Anything groveling in the kernel memory, like - pidentd, would need to be recompiled/modified, but pidentd - itself (now uses the proper interface to get the data it - needs.

- -

So, anyone who can, test it out and report back. - I need to get this done within the week or so :)

June 08 - June 08 (1 posts): [PATCH] psmintr out of sync..

- -

On June 8, 2000, [Kazutaka - Yokota] posted a patch for the psm driver. The "diff" in question, - as Kazutaka pointed out, was not intended for the "psmintr out of sync" - issue; furthermore, it needed testing; finally, it had been designed - with more general goals in mind.

- -

Incidentally, - [Peter Radcliffe], - in a letter of his, - described another approach to the psmintr out of sync problem: - -

-

My workaround for this, for the moment, is to use the - serial adaptor that came with the mouse and use it on the - first serial port. Works fine, but somewhat annoying to lose - a serial port ...

-
- - - -
- -

June 08 - June 08 (1 posts): PS/2 mouse driver updates - can someone commit these?

- -

[Graham Wheeler] - modified the psm driver to supply support for the Synaptics - touch pads, and posted his patches on June 8, 2000.

- -

He noticed that, in some respects, his code seemed to behave - even better than Synaptics' driver.

- - - -
- -

June 07 - June 07 (2 posts): 4.0-STABLE crashes ...(SMP?)

- -

On June 7, 2000, [Jesper - Skriver] wrote that his -STABLE SMP system -- sources as of June 2 - -- had been crashing regularly. He said that he had kernel crash dumps, - too.

- -

I have been reading about SMP crashes in the -stable forum for - several weeks ; at the moment, I do not know about results or - solutions, though. - - - -

- -

June 07 - June 10 (9 posts): Inetd problems

- -

[Vladimir Egorin] - had been recording a number of inetd coredumps for the previous - few weeks, and requested the -stable forum to help.

- -

It turned out that the coredumps were due to underscore - characters in remote hostnames. Vladimir submitted a bug report - as well as patches.

- -

Next, he asked:

- -
-

BTW, should the '_' character be considered a valid - character for a hostname? I think rfc1034 only gives - recommendations, but doesn't insist on them. It would make - sense for gethostbyname() to return results for such hosts. - In our case, inetd was receiving connections to the smtp - port, and we were losing mail from this particular host - (mail_dxb.zu.ac.ae).

-
- -

[Chad Larson] replied:

- -
-

I can't quote you references right now, but we came to the - conclusion that the '_' character was invalid in host - names. We had similar problems delivering reports to - customer's networked printers that contained underscores in - their names. We eventually got the customer to change the - '_' to '-'.

-
- -

[Peter Radcliffe] stated:

- -
-

"_" is not a valid character in a name in the IN zone of - DNS but is not invalid in DNS, strictly.

- -

Valid characters in the IN zone are [0-9a-zA-Z-].

- -

bind used to allow _ in names by default, so pople used - them. More recent versions of bind disallow this in primary - zones by default (but you can turn it off in case you arn't - serving IN zones) but to only warn about it in secondary - zones.

- -

It's going to take a long time to get rid of all the - entries containing "_" out there, so expect to have to - deal with it :/

-
- -

[Cy Schubert] remarked:

- -
-

The standard was changed about 5 years ago.

June 08 - June 09 (9 posts): APC Back-UPS Pro

- -

While running an APC Back-UPS Pro with upsd in the default - configuration, - [Andrew Tulloch] - saw messages such as:

- - 
      upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse:  N
-      upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse: ^M
-      upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse:  ^M
-      upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse:    N
-      upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse:   NO
-      upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse:  NO
- -

[Doug White] - answered:

- -
-

That looks like either the UPS or upsd getting confused - as to where to expect responses. Check your config and make - sure you aren't adding extra spaces.

- -

I woudn't discount that the APC is doing wierd serial - things -- it always seemed flakey to me when I was working - on upsd.

- -

upsd hasn't been touched in years so it's possible it - still has bugs :)

-
- -

On a related note, [Dan Larsson] - wrote:

- -
-

I had similar troubles on a Smart-UPS using the port - /usr/ports/sysutils/nut The problem however seemed to reside - in the source used when building the port

- -

After doing a 'manual' build of the very latest source the - problem was fixed.

-
- -

[Nate Williams], - replying to Andres's letter, commented:

- -
-

You can safely ignore this. I've got a system that sees - these and has been running for almost 3 years w/out any - problems, and actually has had do the 'UPS' shutdown thing - once or twice, plus it's lived through thousands of - brownouts and power failures.

-
- -

The following day, the discussion focused on the security - aspect in an environment composed of multiple machines running - off one ups.

- -

Doug White put forward this remark:

- -
-

The problem with this is doing it securely. You can have - one monitor machine but having some automated way of telling - the others to shutdown that can't be tricked is a tough - problem. ssh with a null-passphrase RSA key is about as - close as you can get, but that doesn't keep root on one - machine from telling the others to shutdown, but that may - not be a problem in your environment :)

-
- -

[Shawn Barnhart] - rejoined:

- -
-

It seems like it would be safer for a client machine to - poll the UPS-monitoring server for power status vs. having - the monitoring server alert its clients to do something - like shut down.

- -

On the more sophisticated end you could do it as an SNMP - trap, or you could just write the UPS status to a file on - the monitoring box and the clients could fetch the status - periodically and make their own decisions about what to do - when the power went off.

-
- -

[Matthew Dodd] - concluded the conversation by observing:

- -
-

Isn't this what 'NUT' is for?

- -

http://www.exploits.org/nut/

- -

/usr/ports/sysutils/nut

-
- -

The next day, [Donald Fast], - reminded Shawn that one could also use the multi-computer option, - which can be found at - this address, - and then each machine could decide on its own.

June 11 - June 12 (5 posts): Re: AHA 1542 CP Configuration problems

- -

[Jim Manley] - had trouble with the configuration of his AHA1542CP SCSI - adapter.

- -

[Brian Somers] - sent him a patch, and told him that disabling the PnP probe - should make the patch (and the adapter) work. - [Warner Losh] was also - informed (cc'ed) of that.

- -

Brian hypothesized that the difficulties, which seemed to arise - under special circumstances, were due to some other PnP entry - inducing a probe that the AHA found intrusive. He promised that - he would investigate as soon as he found time.

June 07 - June 07 (5 posts): Passive mode for FTP

- -

On June 7, 2000, - [Stephen Montgomery-Smith] - was wondering how to properly configure ftp (passive mode) so - that it might correctly operate behind a firewall. At first, he - thought that passive mode was broken, but, in an ensuing letter, - he made it clear that it was not the case:

- -
-

Suppose I do:

- - 
      ftp ftp.freebsd.org
- -

and log on as anonymous. When I type

- - 
      ls
- -

I get the messages

- - 
      500 'EPSV': command not understood.
-      500 'LPSV': command not understood.
-      Passive mode refused.
- -

This worked in earler versions of FreeBSD 4.0, even when - I had a firewall.

-
- -

[James Housley] - suggested:

- -
-

This is from /etc/login.conf:

- - 
default:\
-      :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
-      :welcome=/etc/motd:\
-      :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=NO:\
- -

I changed FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES to NO and all was right in - the world

- -

Don't forget cap_mkdb.

-
- -

[Charles Sprickman] - went on to say:

- -
-

If you pull the IPV6 stuff out of your kernel, ftp seems - to work fine, I assume it must "ifdef" the problematic parts - of the ftp program out. I have a number of machines running - -stable and have no problems, but I also always comment out - the v6 stuff.

- -

cap_mkdb is to be run like so whenever you've changed - login.conf:

- - 
      "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf".
- -

You will have to log out (all the way to the login prompt - if you're at the console) and log back in for changes to - take effect. A reboot should not be necessary.
