I was quite tempted to order one of those from conics.net a while ago, but getting it across the border into Russia is a real PITA. When I googled to check for possible compatibility issues I saw people running Linux on it, there's a working Xorg driver, too. Most likely FreeBSD will run fine on it as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

But even in that world it is now strongly recommended to create a non-privileged account and use it for most tasks. In the Unix world, root is most commonly reserved for system administration tasks. Run adduser (without any arguments) to enter a simple interactive process of adding a new user - and don't use root when you don't need it.

I've only used FreeBSD as a WCCPv1/v2 sink (receiver), but you can try sending out packets out of gre(4). That should probably work.

PF has similar functionality. It all depends on what the appliance supports. If wccp is the only way it can eat packets, try playing with gre(4). But maybe it'll consume just plain packets with "wrong" IP destinations arriving on its MAC address, just the way squid on FreeBSD does. BTW, if the appliance supports ICAP, you'll be much better off running squid on a FreeBSD box and filtering content through ICAP. > The filter will not be inline, and it will be an opt-in type service, so > only certain traffic will need to be redirected.

If filtering is all you want, you don't have to set up squid as a caching proxy. I.e. it won't need much RAM and disk space. I have yet to set up ICAP (with c-icap) in our workshop, but from discussions on squid mailing lists it seems ICAP is in a pretty usable state, both in squid 2.x and 3.x. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

efficient terminal/console screencasting
A while ago I needed to screencast a terminal to a class of students in real-time. It turned out to be quite straightforward with screen(1) in multiuser mode. Now I want to record screencasts and allow people to watch them later. I'm looking at recordmydesktop, but the innefficiency strikes me: I'm operating in text-only environment, there's no need to record every frame as a flat bitmap. Whatever codec I choose, the files will be huge and of low quality. What I need is something like script(1) on steroids: - accurately record the complete state of my terminal window at any given moment - store it as a succession of updates, each represented in a text-based format (as opposed to pixel-based) - record timings correctly - allow for a method to record speech in the background - allow for a method to play it all back in sync Has anyone heard about any tool which would help me achieve at least some of my requirements? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There are basically two ways the subtitles are encoded: bitmap and text. Both will require a full screen dump on every update. Neither allow for colors (there are html hacks though). AFAIK, there's no way to store activity in form of updates in subtitles. Moreover, even in case of bitmaps, subtitles are still utterly unstandardized. Their look is very player-dependent.

lightly loaded php+mysql - high syscall/csw rates
We have a php+mysql web server. It serves 15-20 http requests per second, resulting in 100-200 sql qps. But according to vmstat(1), it all peaks at over 500k syscall/s and 100k cswitch/s. The peaks are quite frequent, even at this load. During the peaks top(1) shows 30-40k VCSW for mysql and around 1k vcsw for two php-cgi worker processes. IVCSW is relatively very low for all processes. This is a 4-core Opteron HP DL145 G2 server running 6.2/amd64 generic+quota. I'm considering a switch to 7.0. During peaks user/system/idle in top(1) is 20/30/50. The question is - is the syscall and csw rates normal or should I be trying to tune mysql and php more agressively? I'm not hungry for performance (haven't hit the limit yet), but a couple of days ago the server stopped responding until a cold reboot (which is another story) - and now I'm paying closer attention to its vitals. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Find out how many packages lost their contents:
ls /var/db/pkg/*/?COMMENT|wc -l
ls /var/db/pkg/*/?CONTENTS|wc -l
Last time portupgrade removed all contents on my box, I had to
extract port origins from pkgdb.db, then
mkdir /var/db/pkg-old/
mv /var/db/pkg/* /var/db/pkg-old/
for i in origins; do
cd /usr/ports/$i && make install

Ten lost ports is easy enough to do by hand - look what packages miss their contents and find them in the ports tree.

NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES is traditionally just an imake-related hack, which is hardly respected, but rather used. At the moment there is no policy or knob to control manpage installation.

Buffer space and socket syscall tracing
I've stumbled upon the infamous "No buffer space available" problem (with thousands of netgraph nodes). I'm wondering if there's a really comprehensive way to debug it. I know that it's probably a matter of some sysctl, but I've googled and tuned for days - and I now feel that there must be another way. Truss and ktrace both say that the error is generated when a socket syscall is made. Is there a way to trace inside the syscall and find the very particular reason for this? I know that it might not be of any use to me as I'm not any kind of kernel hacker, but I want to give it a shot.

The spirit of this OS makes howtos seem like a not very good thing. A howto takes you by your hand and leads you through a difficult process. You get some glimpses of how to do some small things, you can even gain experience through following a howto, but you'll never get a solid understanding of how things work. Now a true FreeBSDer is avid for profound comprehension of technology. He usually prefers reading some 500 pages of documentation when he only needs a paragraph to finish a job.

Trouble with resources under network load
I've got P4 box with 256Mb RAM. I want it to be able to forward 5Mbit/s between 500 PPTP clients (no crypto/ compression) and our ISP. I understand we should probably get Cisco for this, or at least a higher-spec box, but I just want this setup to be kinda proof of concept. Complicated things can be done using cheap hardware and a good OS. Can't they? It happens that I run named, smbd/nmbd and dhcpd (serving only 50 clients) until we setup additional boxes.

It's in the nature of the OSS that the bulk of development happens in the areas interesting to the developers themselves. Unless you're willing to pay, you'll have to explain that this program is really great - then someone might get interested in making a port. But don't get frustrated if you're the only one, who needs a port and nobody is willing to help you. Usually it only takes a few minutes to port a small utility - and it's far easier to learn basic make syntax than a fully fledged programming language. Many FreeBSD users start making ports within the first year of using this wonderful OS. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to get 2 if's act like a switch?

First I thought that bridge is not what I want. Apparently, if_bridge does not switch packets, and with 100 hosts on each if that would create unnecessary overhead. But then, networks on both sides are switches, so the overhead should be minimal if not none. I still wonder if there's some way to get switch functionality. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You'll probably want to use i386 on a workstation for various compatibility issues. Difference in speed is close to unmeasurable. Give amd64 a shot, but you might find a show-stopper and will have to switch to i386. So if you have some time to experiment, try amd64 anyway.

natd with several alias IPs

It's pf and ipf that have built-in nat facilites. ipfw uses divert sockets and an external natd process (so when one says natd, it's clear that he's dealing with ipfw). Alias ip is a natd term.

Well, for one thing, it's the way master/slave ports work. Many slave ports just set a flag (like WITH_GTK2). If you already have this flag enabled in make.conf the two ports are effectively identical. In general, such slave ports only appear because of the inflexibilities of the ports system.

The secondary will share some load without taking up extra bandwidth. In case the primary is not stable enough, or if you really need to scale by 2 (i.e. share the load evenly between the servers), you'll have to use the ISP's dns servers as forwarders instead.

Not that its specifics and origins are clearly known, but most of us stumble upon it sooner or later. You can usually achieve wire speed only between two OSes of a kind.

"wintel" stands for windows+intel :-)
how about Freeon - FreeBSD+{Athlon|Sempron|Opteron}?
Thanks for the tip. I've been wondering how one can do
that, but never got to googling. I'm still afraid to mess
with production servers, though zapping the boot manager
would save a few seconds each reboot (hmm, once every
few years :).
UBCD is great, especially when you get hold of mkisofs
and start customizing it. I had to learn it when I needed to
reflash a server without FDD. It only took an hour to find
a guide, experiment and have a new ubcd containing
all the firmwares I need.
Hiren is also very good, but it contains warez mostly, so
beware. There are many other alternatives out there.

Read /usr/src/UPDATING and handbook for that. Then use portupgrade to upgrade critical services one by one. Most of the time it happens just as you describe it. Sometimes a service is stopped automatically when new binaries are installed, so you have to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ /whatever start when you upgrade things like mysql.

Re: Portupgrade Operation

I kind of agree thinking about the old addage "if it aint > broke don't fix it." Arguably the best strategy for the base system. Arguably a bad idea in case of 3d party software. In most cases untested updates do not enter the ports tree. Just use the -b flag when portupgrading and go back if you meet a show-stopper. Lately we've been experiencing trouble with something as critical as quagga. That only caused a half an hour late night outage on a single server. We haven't had any trouble apart from that in a year. With hundreds of ports in production, we find it delicious to have them all so easily and seamlessly updated. > But, if a security issue becomes known with a port > that I have installed, I definately want to fix the issue.

I'd say that you can hardly find an update which is neither. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

These do not seem to even belong to Intel. Either the cards have been hacked or you have some startup script changing the MACs somehow.
