ppp problems on 4.3-RELEASE and PPPoE

[James Housley]

I have been having problems with the the newer Windows machines, 2000 &
Me, not being able to access some websites.  I have had to manually edit
the registry to change the MTU.  This should not be needed, because I am
running 4.3-RELEASE which has had the tcpmssfixup feature for a while. 
It is enabled.  Unfortunately this maching is in an office in Canada,
and I am not in Canada.  I am using natd and ipfw for NAT and the
firewall.  The link has a static IP if it matters.  Below I am attaching
ppp.conf.  I have watched some of the data with tcpdump on both tun0 and
ed0, but I am not sure what to look for.

Suggestion on how to proceed.

Jim

How to auto-boot from an alternate disk

[Brian Somers]

Hi,

I have a machine with 3 IDE disks and 2 SCSI disks and I want to boot 
from the first SCSI disk *but* my BIOS won't boot it.

How are you supposed to do this ?

I've currently done

# boot0cfg -v -t 10 -B -s 5 ad0
# boot0cfg -v -t 1 -B -s 5 -m 0 ad1
# boot0cfg -v -t 1 -B -s 5 -m 0 ad2

Which causes things to merrily skip across my IDE disks 'till it 
finds the first SCSI disk, loads /boot/loader from there, finds my 
kernel and then drops into a dumb ``manual mount'' prompt that makes 
me say ``ufs:/dev/da0s1a''.

What I'd *REALLY* like is some way to just say ``default to 
3:da(0,a)/boot/loader''.

Any suggestions ?

Ta.

question....

[Olson Cpl Eric S]

i use hpux at work, and just recently decided to install freebsd on my home
system. i have some unix experience, and a nice bit of experience on linux.
i have a linksys usb 10/100 nic and was wondering if freebsd will support
it. if not, what other *nix system will, and where can i download it. if
freebsd CAN support it, i need help on setting it up. 

thank you, 
eric olson

if you are using ppp you may save some overhead by using the builtin
NAT/filters in ppp.

In either case, you could do by looking at the tcpdump outputs 
of the initial session negotiations between the windows machines 
and the websites in question...

Re: ppp problems on 4.3-RELEASE and PPPoE

[Brian Somers]

Try reducing the interface MTU further.  It's possible that there's a 
misconfigured router between you and the sites *and* a part of the 
route has an mtu of less than 1492.

``set mtu 1480'' or ``set mtu 1460'' may work.

I worked around a similar situation by installing OS-BS (from
/tools on the release CDs) on the IDE and making the SCSI drive
the default to boot.  Not very elegant but it worked until I was
able to pawn the IDE drive off to a windows weenie. :)

Such in-band signaling might occasionally cause a (mostly harmless)
false positive.  Consider the footer that is automatically appended to
list with unsubscribe instructions.  Now imagine it triggering a false
"unsubscribe" attempt for every list message!  Obviously that's an
extremem example and with some care it won't really happen, but it's
worth thinking about.

send/sendto/sendmsg and ECONNREFUSED

[Richard Hodges]

I just spent a good half hour trying to figure out a strange problem
with a UDP socket.  I connect()'ed the socket, and used send() to
send small UDP packets to a server.  Real basic stuff, right?

Using tcpdump on the receiver, I could see that every other packet
was sent successfully, the other half died in the sender.  The
send() call returned 61, ECONNREFUSED.  This is not listed in the
man pages, but a few minutes searching the web turned up the
explanation - I had forgotten to start the UDP receiver...

This may be a "Well, duh!" issue for some, but I think it might be
appropriate to add a line for ECONNREFUSED in the man pages for
send/sendto/sendmsg.  It may be obvious, but is it _painfully_
obvious that the ICMP reply will trigger ECONNREFUSED on the
next packet?

All the best,

-Richard

I believe I had a similar problem back on 4.2-RELEASE with a PSX->USB adapter.

I sent the offending hardware off to Nick Hibma for him to look at, uh, 4
months ago. Is he back from vacation yet?

Did you send him crash details? Would you mind sharing them with me if
you did? I want to do the same on my system and compare them. Might be
helpful to compare the two incidents.

I've so far been unable to trigger a kernel panic with any other USB
hardware.  I have another force feedback device to try and that's
pretty much it for me.

After that I will submit a more detailed bug report if possible.

It's probably not all that difficult, as these things go, but it
requires code fixes.

Funny. I use it on e-mail. Perhaps if you lived in a country that used a

MxN threads on Linux

Ran into this on freshmeat today:

Why isn't the FreeBSD equivalent happening on a public cvs

Probably because the coders are waiting for SMPng to stabilize a bit
before working on threads.  Once work starts, it will be visible to all
in CVS, just like SMPng is now.

For those interested, it took me about an hour to write up
pth_native_freebsd.c (http://sharmas.dhs.org/~adsharma/pth_native_freebsd.c)
to use rfork_thread().

It creates multiple threads just fine, runs for a while and then core
dumps.

#0  0x2810badd in isatty () from /usr/lib/libc.so.5
#1  0x30 in ?? ()
#2  0x1 in ?? ()
#3  0x28079f08 in __DTOR_END__ ()
   from /usr.current/home/adsharma/src/ngpt-0.9.4/.libs/libpthread.so.9
#4  0xe82075c0 in ?? ()

Any hints on what this could be about ? I think getting a working implementation
of thread aware truss/gdb is pretty critical.

That fixed it.  I fat-fingered it to 1450.  But is now working.  I will,
when bored, try raising it up to 1480, for a little more performance.  I
hadn't considered the possibility that the 1492, which their Windoze
software uses, would be too big.

Thanks again all.
