If the address of the tunX interface is fixed in the jail, you can specify it by IP instead of the interface in the nat setup, like: ipfw nat 1 config ip $address same_ports deny_in ipfw add 500 nat 1 ip from any to any via $address Your use of 'reset' in nat config makes me wonder if it's a variable address though?

If you want to use clang in combination with ccache, you must at least set CCACHE_CPP2 to make it work. If you experience any issues with this setup, always try disabling ccache first, to see if the issues go away. In most cases, disabling ccache fixes the problems. 1. I have to keep re-starting buildworld at different points of break. When re-started the build continues past the last break-point and goes on to break somewhere else. 2. This continues until build gets to ===> usr.bin/ypwhich (all) and cannot continue past the error. As in your first post, you are most likely doing "make -j X buildworld", and this can obscure the actual error(s), which occur long before the "ypwhich" message. You should save the entire log, and search backwards from the end for the actual error. If you can't find it, post the full log somewhere off-list. 3. I disable ccache in /usr/local/etc/buildflags.conf and re-start the build.

Re: buildworld with clang breaks because no cc
Hi Dimitry,
I have been working at this for 6 hours today (I don't want to tell you how
long I was at it yesterday). Thanks for your input / suggestions. I will try
to answer all of them, please let me know if I forget something.
1. Fist the good news: I have just now finished buildworld with setting
WITHOUT_GCC= yes and has WITH_CLANG= yes WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS= yes
WITH_CLANG_IS_CC= yes
2. First I tried to buildworld after disabling WITHOUT_GCC.
* First I had ccache and threads enabled. The build progressed with the
exact same errors as above (many start-stop-restarts) then finally broke.
* I disabled ccache and threads, also removed /usr/obj/src. I restarted the
build, it broke at (as above):
building shared library libstdc++.so.6
3. Then I remembered that I had seen some ccache stuff flash by, despite the
fact I had disabled it. So in /etc/make.conf I disabled the call to
/usr/local/etc/buildflags.conf, cleaned /usr/obj/src and restarted the build
(no ccache, no threads, gcc not disabled). This time it completd buildworld.
What?? Why is buildflags.conf killing things?
4. Then I remembered something else: some of the source code seems to be
hard-coded as /usr/src and not as {path} (my ports, source, ccache,
distfiles are all on zpool/asp - I find it easier). I had observed in the
past that that some source code which fails to compile will compile if I cd
tu /ysr/src and re-run buildworld. The problem was that in
/usr/local/etc/buildflags.conf I had for source:
/asp/src | /asp/src/*{ which I changed to:
/asp/src | /asp/src/* | /usr/src | /usr/src/*{
The build stopped several times, I re-saterted and later disabled threads
and ccache. That is when buildworld finished successfully. Fianl
/etc/src.conf settings:
WITHOUT_GCC= yes
WITH_CLANG= yes
WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS= yes
WITH_CLANG_IS_CC= yes
5. > You should save the entire log
I don't know how to do this.
6. buildkernel also does not like ccache!!
Thank you for your input and help...

Re: natd in a jail
SOLVED: Thanks all for your assistance.
SUMMARY:
- Kernel rebuilt with option IPFIREWALL and friends turned on (not
necessary if your ipfw modules work you should just be able to load
them, mine didn't for reasons I don't really have the time or
inclination to track down)
- OpenVPN configurations modified to use a specific tun device
('device tun' directive replaced with 'device tun0')
- OpenVPN configurations modified to run the following script prior
to dropping privs (via the 'up' directive);
/usr/local/etc/openvpn/up.sh
---
ipfw -q flush
pfw nat 1 config if tun0 reset same_ports deny_in
ipfw add 500 nat 1 ip from any to any via tun0
---
This script assumes that option IPFILTER_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT or the
equivalent sysctl frob is set, this is most probably *not* what you
want to do in the "real world". Modify as needed, and be sure to set
the permissions on the file appropriately as the script will be
executed by root.
A warning though; this is a total hack, the ipfw stuff should be moved
to /etc/ipfw.rules or similar and processed by ipfw at boot but I'm
not sure how it'll react if you try to do this config before the tun
device is created, I expect it'll be unhappy so you'll need to create
a static tun device for openvpn, this is the "right" way to do things
but I'm being exceedingly lazy. The script above is a filthy hack, and
potentially dangerous.
- Normal requirements for gateway operation also apply here (which
essentially means set gateway_enable=YES in rc.conf on the host and
all router jails).

Reason I asked for how to set a bigger buffer was booting a serverboard verbose And there is so much pci stuff dumped that it ran out of space. Plenty of unknown devices. There is no sound on this board. And usually that is the first thing that is asked for on this list, once one start reporting problems. --WjW ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Where do I purchace an unlock code to build a custom kernel?
I full-heartedly agree that include-statement is good, but still $ wc -l /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MINI 174 /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MINI And this is just after removing network cards ( (usb)ethernet, (usb)wlan, raid drivers and firewire) for my pretty standard lenovo t510. There is so much in GENERIC today that seems to work just as well as modules. I guess one thread on a mailing list this summer tried to achieve a more modular config, which would make the include statement even more useful.

Ian, With the (U.S.) holiday, I just got to this. The verbose boot presents an impressive amount of detail. I have not looked at it for some time and there is a LOT more there than list time I verbose booted. It's well over 24 KB of output.The sysctl presents all of the NID information for all three of my pcm devices and is all that is needed to customize them (as I did). It does a much nicer presentation, though, in a neat table instead of just a list. A great deal of the output repeats prior information, but in a different format that would be very convenient for debugging. All of the NID information and most of the rest really needs to be behind a .debug tunable so it does not always get dumped. Only when you really want it and have a larger buffer so it does not get lost. (I always hav a larger buffer on my workstations and the servers don't have HDA, so it's never been an issue. The reality is that there are a number of things in the verbose output that would be useful for tracking an error report and should be kept, but most of the verbosity looks to be of use in real driver debuging, so should not be part of the default verbose boot output. -- R.

Well that's interesting, excuse my assumption. But as downloaded: -rw-r--r-- 1 smithi smithi 82415 Nov 22 14:08 T61_dmesg.boot.10.works So is the default msgbufsize on 10 different to what mav@ just posted? > kern.msgbufsize="65536" # Set size of kernel message buffer And if the PC-BSD 9.1-RCsomething one you refer to is: http://bsd-geek.de/FreeBSD/T61_dmesg.boot.9.works then that's only 37844 bytes and has most of its head missing, in fact starting only a screenful before the hda stuff that's most of the rest. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

AFAIR that is it: > kern.msgbufsize="65536" # Set size of kernel message buffer Yep. That tunable is available in 8.2 (not 8.1), and I think in all 9.x; dunno if it was ever MFC'd to the 7.x branch. I was going to suggest adding a mention in the docs where verbose boot is described, but the only verbose boot mention I found is in Handbook 13.4.1, "Kernel Boot Flags", which doesn't seem like a particularly good place to get into tunables. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
