What flavor of memory tuning can be used to figure out how much the routing
table will have (and what tool can be used to monitor it, other than the
total usage shown in vmstat)?
A machine with 64M refuses to allocate more than ~10M (about 36K routes) no
matter how many users or clusters are allocated. NetBSD systems have no
trouble holding full tables (17M) in a 64k system.
Not that 128M is so expensive, but I'd like to know how to optimize it for
more efficient usage of memory.

Hi !
Now I try to setud SLIP connection between FreeBSD 3.2 and Cisco. The
configuration of Cisco is autorized and correct.
Two modems was programmed to automatically connection. I.e. leased line
ready.
But I can't to connect with Cisco.
In all examples there is information about dialing to ISP via phone.
Tell me please what can I do to connect to Cisco via leased line?
Thank you very much

Route entries are just allocated out of the kernel memory pool; I would
suggest upping VM_KMEM_SIZE (size of kernel memory in bytes), either as
a compile-time option or using the kern.vm.kmem.size tunable as
documented in 'help set tunables' inside the loader (may not be
available in the version you're using depending on how you're set up).
You might also try setting VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE to something smaller than
4 (memory size is divided by this to determine kernel VM size); this is
a compile-only option, and for a machine that does almost nothing in
userspace it may be more appropriate to use something like 2 (use up to
half of physical memory for the kerne).

You have validated that you can get dumb terminal connections to the cisco?
that all the hardware is working correctly? What error messages is the BSD
system giving you? What error messages are you seeing from the cisco.
Do the messages help isolate the problem?

Sage advice. Access can be a nifty front-end for hacking data into MySQL,
though. 8{) If you are looking for an industrial-grade run-your-business
billing package, IMHO you can't do better than BillMax. You can see for
yourself at http://www.billmax.com and form your own opinions.
Developed on Apache, MySQL, and FreeBSD, it is available for other
environments like Sun and Linux. Your users like the email invoicing and
your techs will like the speed and ease-of-use. Not as cheap as Access,
but that's a feature in my book. It replaced a hell of a quickbooks
scripting every month! The customer updates (including tunable automatic
shutoffs for unpaid accounts) are pushed to the Radius server and web/mail
servers. It can be organizational superglue for an ISP. - Jy@

Hi all,
I seem to have come across a rather serious problem, I'm not sure whether
it's something in my setup or it's a bug in ppp.
I am using a very recent version downloaded today - ppp-990809.src.tar.gz.
Is this a day-to-day snapshot or have I just happened to come along when a
stable version has been released? I'm using the recent version as the one
supplied with 2.2.8R doesn't support multilink.
Anyway, the problem is that when running as a server (started with
'/usr/sbin/ppp -direct mp'), ppp doesn't seem to exit properly when
carrier is lost. There's nothing suggesting it actually detects the loss
of CD when I pull the (line) plug on the modem, and about 3 minutes later
it complains about the lack of response to LQR packets and declares the
bundle dead. However, the ppp task associated with that serial line
doesn't exit! It's still sitting there 20 minutes later, with 'who' still
showing up the login as if the modem was still connected. Meanwhile the
dialin line is just ringing out as obviously mgetty isn't running. To
regain control I have to log in via shell and kill off the ppp process.
This also happens if I kill -TERM the originating ppp (I presume this is a
graceful shutdown, with the originating end politely reporting it's about
to disconnect):
13285 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct mp
14815 ?? Ss 0:00.10 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct mp
System at both ends is running 2.2.8-RELEASE, here are the basic config
files...
<<<<client>>>> 'ppp -auto mp'
mp:
set timeout 0
set log phase chat
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" ATZ OK ATDT\\T TIMEOUT 45 CONNECT \"\" ogin: sbruns word: 12345"
set redial 30+30-20 0
set reconnect 30 5
set login
set ifaddr 203.20.114.195/0 10.0.0.2/0
set authname ppp
set authkey ppppassword
set mrru 1500
set enddisc label
enable lqr
accept lqr
clone 1,2
link deflink remove
link 1,2 set mode ddial
link 1 set phone "93291234"
link 2 set phone "93291234"
link 1 set device /dev/cuaa1
link 2 set device /dev/cuaa2
link 1 set speed 115200
link 2 set speed 115200
<<<<server>>>> 'ppp -direct mp' from shell script run after normal login
mp:
allow user sbruns
allow mode direct
set openmode active
set timeout 0
set log phase chat
open
set login
set ifaddr 203.20.114.32/0 10.0.0.2/0
set authname ppp
set authkey ppppassword
set mrru 1500
set enddisc label
enable lqr
accept lqr
clone 1,2
link deflink remove
Note that I'm generally unfamiliar with user level PPP, so the basic
config is from the man page and I haven't started tweaking things yet. I
haven't bothered to set up PAP/CHAP because the chat script logs in via
the login/Password prompt before starting up ppp.
Thanks for any help. :-(
Cheers.

May be a bug in PPP. Brian is in the throws of incorporating ISDN support
into PPP, and I had problems with his Saturday version.
Use the one from the -STABLE branch of FreeBSD. It works fine.

[.....]
If you ``set log +debug'', ppp reports what it thinks about the state
of carrier every second. If your wiring is dodgy and carrier is
not available, ppp will behave like this.
You can use the ``set cd'' command to configure how long ppp hangs
around waiting for carrier.... Check out the man page.

can anyone throw some light on what sort of (isdn) hardware will be
supported, thier isnt a lot of choice here in australia.
isdn is still a very expensive proposition here, and so
hardware is scarce and fairly esoteric, 'twas last time i
looked about 9 to 14 months ago from memory.

That still doesn't explain why ppp sticks around after it declares the
bundle closed due to lack of LQR replies... surely that's basically
equivalent to detecting carrier loss? :)
I'll increase the debug level and perhaps try an earlier version too, to
see if that changes anything.
BTW, the modems have been working fine with pppd...
BTW2, although I'm having this particular problem I'm otherwise impressed
with the stability and relative ease of setting up the multilink
connection - mpd looks similar but I figured user level ppp was probably
better supported. This is the initial test for a future set of (up to) 4 x
33.6k links.
Cheers.

Just to complicate things, one of the links just went down so I kill
-TERM'd the ppp process at the originating router. This is what things
look like at the other end now:
9999 ?? I 0:00.13 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa1
10055 ?? I 0:00.13 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa4
mgetty running, it appears carrier loss has been detected on both lines...
10056 ?? Ss 0:00.27 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct mp
16792 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct mp
unfortunately, ppp is still running. ;-(
Off to try the other version now.
Cheers.

Now that Australia is migrating to Onramp (ETSI based?) there's a better
chance that more equipment will be compatible. Testing and certification
for legal use here is another matter, of course...
I use a TA220 ISDN modem which I believe is a rebadged Motorola - it has 2
serial ports (one per 64k circuit - not sure about elsewhere but in
Australia a standard Microlink or Onramp2 has a couple of 64k circuits), a
2 line LCD display and a keypad. I'm using it in AT mode which means that
for all intents and purposes it's just a normal analog modem - ATDT to
dial, CONNECT 64000 etc... it works on both Microlink and Onramp2.
Mine was given to me (in fact it's probably more a loan) so I don't know
the exact price.
The TA440 is apparently the successor, but at the price Telstra quoted me
(something like $1450 for the 2 port version) it might be cheaper just
buying a low end Cisco. Of course you lose the flexibility of an open
source router then...
I believe Tennyson also make TA modems (www.tennyson.com.au), and you can
buy Netjet ISDN cards (not sure if Netjet is the brand or model name) but
these don't yet support FreeBSD. "Real Soon Now", they promise.
In reality though, setup costs pale into relative insignificance when you
consider the long term (~$250/month) running costs for an Onramp2 with a
64k data call cap.

Hi!
I have a lot of users using a modem to dial out to various locations. Up
til now I've had one machine with FreeBSD and a modem to do the job. Very
simple setup, I use the userland ppp with the -auto option. Problem is
that it can only be used to reach one destination at a time and I have to
manually quit ppp and start it with another setting whenever the user(s)
want it to reach another destination I'm now thinking of setting up a
dedicated server for this, with maybe 3 or 4 modems.
I was wondering if I can make ppp (or some other program) to pick a modem
thats not in use automatically, as there will be more "destinations" than
modems.
Or do you know about any good hardware to do this, that's not too
expensive.
I'm thinking about something like a box with an incoming ISDN PRI, a
number of modems, and then a FreeBSD box with a multiport card. But I
don't know if such hardward exists...
TIA,
=09Jakob Alvermark

yes, thats whats being considered for the worlds largest, small,
bedroom network (grin). a pair of 64kbit channels (bonded, if
telstra's ciscos can handle this level of abstraction).
though i've started to look at frame relay with a cir (circuit
burst rate) of about 256 kbit ... should be interesting.

a side issue but sort of relevent, would anyone running isdn
know what sort bit rate (maximun traffic) can be expected from
a 64 kbit, 128 kbit or even a 256 kbit link before saturation
sets in links fallover so to speak.
in the old days i worked out that if i could get a 33k6 circuit
to the back bone this would be as good as running a 64 kbit
isdn (our isdn feeders are not to reliable in my part of the
world, more so with the selloff). hence the interest in frame
relay or even multiple 33k6 (or v.90) with some sort of pstn
based 'channel bonding'.
off cource the effective 128 kbit path to the back bone (3x33k6
pstn pots circuits) at dirt cheap rates has nothing to do with
this line of questioning ... grin.

More than six, yes. I've been using a Compaq Proliant 3000 (PIII-500,
256MB) with six Intel EtherExpress PRO 10/100B's (82558) and one Dual
EtherExpress PRO 10/100B (dual 82558 + PCI bridge) for a total of 8
interfaces. FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE didn't want to see all of the PCI
busses in this particular server, but 3.2 saw everything just fine,
and works without a hitch. I could easily put 10 interfaces in this
thing since it has a couple of free PCI slots, and I wouldn't forsee a
problem doing so.
The performance is quite good, by the way. I've managed to saturate 4
of the interfaces at 100Mbit FD and the server didn't break a sweat.
This was with 36 ipfw rules, with most of the traffic passing through
14 rules on its way in and out (exactly 28 rules for a packet to pass
through the box from one of my private networks to another).
Granted, this was a bunch of SMB traffic passing between multiple NT
(blech) boxes, so the packets on average were fairly large.
Maybe in a few months, time allowing, I'll set up some workstations on
each of the networks to pump as much data as they can through all 8
interfaces, packets both big and small, and see how it performs.

And what does ``show links'' say ? Ppp will only delete -direct and
-background links when they close. It won't delete other link types.

If you fire a log file with ``set log lcp ipcp command phase'' this

How about setting up a diagnostic port (set server ...) and
connecting to the dodgy processes ? Are you perhaps using the ``set
mode'' command to change the mode of the incoming links - stopping
ppp from exiting ?

Works very fine here (2 Cards / 8 Ports in one machine)
with FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE.
As with other cards there is one problem, media autoselection
doesn't work reliable when directly connected to another
autoselecting device. To fix this you have to nail one end
to a fixed media speed.

Talking about saturating interfaces, I've got here a little program
spitting UDP packets as fast at it can, in a burst.
The program is just a loop :
while (1)
usleep(delay) // to adjust the rate
for i = 1 to n
send(socket, packet)
I've set up the socket as "connected" to speed up the kernel processing
(it is even bound to a local address).
I am still wondering why I can't use a burst of 6 packets or more unless
the emitted rate drops to one fifth of the one attained with a 5-packet
burst.
I've had a look at the usual suspects (ip_output, udp_output, ...), but
I've not seen the light (I've increased UDP send space, but everything
remains the same).
Anyway, I've got a box processing around 10K packets per second with a
40% load (PIII-450)

Ppp only runs using i4b - therefore, the cards supported are only
those supported by the i4b stuff. I believe only ISDN2E is currently
supported (the E at the end stands for Europe - these are European
standard ISDN links with 2 B channels).
Take a look at the comments in the -current version of LINT for
details of which cards are supported:

I see 60000 - 68000bps per link (even in MP mode) when a single
transfer is happening. User-ppp currently measures throughput as the
total throughput (both ways) which has a theoretical max of 128bps
per channel. You get near maximum **all the time** through Pavilion
Internet. Demon's ISDN seems to get marginally less, and I haven't
tried MP there.

You can run user-ppp at both ends of a set of analogue lines in MP
mode - that's how I tested the software after I finished writing it
(it was tested during development with ppp running ppp -direct
back-to-back.

I had exactly the same opinion, but there are a couple of other
variables. The biggie is the speed of bringing up an ISDN link - it
comes up in seconds, not minutes. This makes dial-on-demand a
reality in my book.
The *real* problem with user-ppp in this arena is that it doesn't do
any of the compression algorithms that the hardware at most ISPs does
- ie, MPPC or STAC.
Does *ANYONE* know anybody that could push some buttons in this area
and either get deflate/predictor supported on some server hardware or
else get Microsoft/Stac to allow me to emulate their compression
algorithms ? It would make a huge difference !

How about
set device /dev/cuaa0 /dev/cuaa1 /dev/cuaa2 /dev/cuaa3
Ppp will attempt to lock each in order and will use the first one it =

Thanks for the tip, this might be a clue:
PPP ON core1-mel> show links
Name: deflink [direct, open] bandwidth 115200, 1560 bps (195 bytes/sec)
Name: 1 [interactive, closed]
Name: 2 [interactive, closed]
Name: deflink-1 [direct, open] bandwidth 115200, 1528 bps (191 bytes/sec)
I wonder if "1" and "2" are anything to do with the processes that stay
around. Why does 'deflink' show up when there's a 'link deflink remove'
command in ppp.conf? Where does 'deflink-1' come from? Here's ppp.conf
again for your reference...
mp:
allow user sbruns
allow mode direct
set openmode active

Originator is -auto (not the problem), server end is -direct. There's no
mode change settings in ppp.conf (I presume 'openmode' isn't relevant - I
had to set it to active and add in 'open' to make it talk)
The fact that '1' and '2' are listed as 'interactive' above might have
something to do with the prob...
Cheers.

RFC1967, RFC1974, RFC2118, RFC2395 has some hints on the subject.

Following on from the last message, I think this is where the extra links
are coming from. The man page doesn't say you *don't* have to clone on the
server side, so it looks like that was my mistake! I commented out the
above 2 lines and it's now working [better].
There's still the problem of the carrier drop not being detected - very
strange. Until the LQR kicks in no IP traffic passes over the mppp link,
but the good news is that once that happens everything seems to exit and
clean up; a subsequent redial attempt of the downed modem succeeds and IP
traffic is once again passed over the mppp link.
I've downed each modem once and the number of ppp processes is staying
stable at 2 once the modem comes back up.
I'm wondering how to fix the CD problem. Does the 'set cd' command work
for the server side? The way I read it it's only relevant for scripted
dialins (ie the client side).
Cheers.

You've got to bear in mind that ppp allows you to create new links
even in -direct mode. This will facilitate BACP nicely when I get
time to implement it. You only need to create links you plan to use.
Ppp is smart on the incoming side. You make two links to machine A,
and two ppp processes start up. When they realize that they should
be part of the same link, one invocation passes the link to the other
then hangs around 'till the other version of ppp is finished with it
(so that getty doesn't grab and revoke() the line).

The server side will do the same as the client side except that it
uses descriptor 0 (as set up by getty) rather than opening its own
device. You need to enable ``debug'' logging to see what's going on
there. A ``set cd 1!'' will tell ppp to wait up to 1 second for
carrier and then close the link if it's not there - it may be worth
experimenting with. You may also want something like ``set cd 3!''
if your modems are slow at asserting carrier (I've only seen one such
report before).

We have one in a new server (about to go online) and 4 more
waiting to find their way into gateway machines. Thus far, we have seen
no problems at all.

The client end has detected the carrier drop after a few seconds, but the
server end is still sitting there doing nothing. According to 'who' the
modem is still connected at the server end.
As soon as the first link drops all IP traffic stops, and it will not
resume until both the stray PPP processes at the server are killed off and
the entire thing is redialled.
After a few minutes the lack of LQR replies causes this...

ppp pid 29387 has detected the link is down, but it's still running:

I'm wondering why it doesn't exit, am I doing something wrong in the
config? Perhaps it's sitting there in passive mode waiting for a new
connection to start? (even though it never will as long as it's attached
to cuaa1 which is now an offline modem)
If it helps this is what top says about 29387...
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
29387 sbruns 2 0 852K 1368K select 0:02 0.00% 0.00% ppp
Thank you all for your suggestions so far. By the way, this is the ppp
that came with 3.2-RELEASE (recompiled on the 2.2.8-R machines) -
unfortunately it didn't fix the problem.
BTW, why does the originating ppp occasionally do strange things like
initiate a *new* dial 15-20 sec after I kill -TERM it? Is this the correct
way to shut it down? (I just did it then and it's dialled about 4-6 times
before exiting)
Cheers.

They look like a standard DEC PCI bridge chip and four Tulip chips (like
the NetGear 10/100 PCI board). Thanks for the reference! The DLink web
page goes into great depth to push the NT driver - which does some cool
things - but completely misses Unix. (btw: the drivers were done by IP
Metrics Software just up the street from us) I need something like this,
so I have been looking around some. So far:
www.cdw.com and www.cmpexpress.com - not available
www.mcglen.com - $174.91
www.pricewatch.com says www.pcnation.com has it for $177, but the pcnation
web site has no knowledge of it. If anyone else has a reputable vendor
that can convert VISA to UPS, I'd like to hear about them. - Jy@

Hello,
We have had this condition a few times. We thought it was a switch or
bandwidth limiter condition but after 3 brands of top name switches and
2 bandwidth limiters I am beginning to think otherwise.
The network has 2 ds3's coming into a Cisco 7507 on to a Xedia bandwidth
limiter on to gigabit ethernet cascaded Extreme Summit 48 switches.
The condition is as follows:
1. Extreme activity in the 90mbit range on 3 out of 4 of the switches.
2. This activity pumping up the outbound activity on one of the ds3 lines to
double our normal usage (from 18mbits to around 40mbits).
3. Activity subsides after around 15-20 minutes.
We have done all the usual Cisco limiting and filtering for SMURF broad-
casts that have been posted. We have around 200 FreeBSD machines internally.
I was wondering if there is something we should be doing to those machines
that might reduce this activity if it is:
a) One of our machines being hijacked.
b) One of our customers on the machines doing bad things.
The machines in question are webservers.
Thank you,
Randy Katz

Indeed. I've read these and even talked to the people mentioned.
They say that I must be a company (I can do that) and must sign an
NDA (I won't do that).
I don't see why I have to sign an NDA to write some software using
rfcs. The MPPC spec publishes the format, but nobody's allowed to
implement it without an NDA ? You'd only ever get this from M$ !
Up 'till now, it didn't really bother me 'cos I had a modem that did
hardware compression. Now I have an ISDN line and nothing compresses
anything - I've got a vested interest.
My previous message was more of an appeal for somebody with a bit of
clout (this *is* freebsd-isp) to talk to Stac or M$ to convince them
to give me written permission to implement their protocol. They won't
really say much to me except ``NDA'' :-(

After seeing transfer rates of 65kbytes/sec over 2 x 33.6k modems using
deflate/predictor1 compression I'm also hanging out for compression that's
compatible with a typical proprietary router such as a Cisco.
Admittedly it was a highly compressible text file, but I'm sure there is
still some benefit to be had in general use. My upstream provider doesn't
even do _VJ_!! (I think this is more a policy decision though...)
I also have a direct peering link with another ISP, FreeBSD at my end,
Cisco his end. In this case there's no policy problem, just "compression
incompatibility" - VJ is the best we've been able to acheive.
Cheers.

hi all,
we are planning of giving our students, faculty and staff e-mail accounts
this year (7,500 population). i have evaluated two web interface packages
-- IMP and TWIG -- which are both very good and offer a nice interface to
the e-mail system.
however, adding, deleting, disabling, and changing user information is
quite a task for 7,200 accounts with only a couple of full-time staff.
what tools do we need to manage these accounts? it would also be nice if
all the accounts were stored in a SQL server. i have looked into the
possibility of using these packages:
OS -- FreeBSD
SQL server -- MySql 3.22.25
MTA -- Postfix (supports SQL server lookups)
IMAP & POP -- Cyrus
Web Interface -- TWIG or IMP
Web Server -- Apache 1.3.6 + SSL + PHP3
the problem is how to `glue' these packages together for easier
management. it's also good if the users were able to change the password
themselves via a web interface and not to call us everytime they want to
change their passwords.

It's as it says. When ppp starts in -direct mode, it uses descriptor
0 as the incoming link. The default name is ``deflink''. You're
trying to delete this link, but it's open so ppp refuses.
You shouldn't be trying to delete it - and you shouldn't be cloning
links wither unless you're going to use them. This'll stop ppp from
exiting....

What really happened:
pid 29213 transferred it's link to pid 29387. 29387 now does all the
work. Normally, if you hadn't cloned things, ppp would now change
it's process name ``session owner'' and wait to be killed by 29387
(when it's finished with the link).
However, because 29213 still owns some other links (the ones you
cloned), it fork()s and 29213 becomes the session owner, but the new
pid (29866) continues to run with the cloned links.... after all,
these could subsequently be changed to auto links and another
connection could be established etc etc.

What's supposed to happen under these circumstances:
29387 does a TIOCMGET 1 second later and notices that the link has no
carrier. It does the equivalent of a ``down'' and realizes that the
link has a process id associated with it. It sends a signal to 29213.
29213 exits allowing the getty to be resurrected by init on the link.
Because the link is type ``direct'', 29387 automatically removes the
link.
The end result: There's a getty running, 29387 knows nothing about
the link and 29866 continues to fester.

This is because ppp still thinks there are two links and it's queued
data on the dead link. Until this data arrives at the other end for
reassembly (which it never will), the data stream will be blocked.
This is the crux of the prolem - if we ignore the stray process
that's the result of the ``clone''.
I've asked over and over that you enable debug logging so that we can
see if ppp thinks that the link supports carrier. It would also be
nice if you could enable a diagnostic port (``set server /tmp/tun%d ""
0177'' would be good) and connect to the relevant process and do a
``link deflink-1 show physical''. It should say near the top if
carrier was found on the link.

29387 should still has the original link that it was started with -

Depends on your link mode. If you connect to the diagnostic socket
(created with ``set server'' above) and do a ``show links'' or ``link
* show physical'' it'll tell you the mode. ``link * show datalink''
should tell you about redials and stuff.

Hi!
Has someone tested sendmail --> hylafax in an isp enviornment?
Does it cope? Are there any ready to go solutions for mail to sms?
Thanks!

We're running a e-mail gateway for TPC here at Demon Internet (Both in the
UK and in Amsterdam). I don't know anything about the actual setup, as we
only provide the hardware facilities and the boxes are completely
maintained by TPC. I do know however that the only problems we're seeing
here are hardware failures (the scsi-rs-232 board nieeds to be kicked once
in a while).

It looks like you could easily get away with storing your user
information in a mysql database. Use 'mod_auth_mysql' to
authenticate web users in apache. I'm not sure if cyrus will play
nice with sql, so that might be your only hack.
You could also run cistron radius with the mysql patches. I
believe freebsd will can do authentication from a radius server
using a pam module. I haven't really played with this before, so
this information might be incorrect.

That should be trivial if you're storing your user information in a
database. Just make sure they're properly authenticated beforehand
and that the connection is secure.

As for SMS, most SMS providers I've seen, also have their own email
gateway..

I'm very curious about last HDLC msg during ppp session.
I've replaced pppd with ppp on modems pool. I did as
I planned - getty rases ppp up with -direct flag and ttyN as
profile. Everything works great but this HDLC error...
It's not fatal for connection - session with client still active
while I'm writing this post. I think Brian have answer surely :)

Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

I've recently upgraded to a 100base switch and put all of our main
servers on it. Some of the servers are running FreeBSD 3.2r with a
Qlogic 1040b controller on the MB (DEC 300i+ workstations). Problem I am
having is that they refuse to negotiate at 100base on powerup or reboot.
I added a 'ifconfig de0 media 100BaseTX' to the rc.conf for them, and
while I have a green light on the switch, until I ifconfig down, then up
the interface, it is not active. My 3.1 boxes seem somewhat more
tollerant to this problem. I've put new cables in to be sure they were
not an issue. I also have several MS NT4 machines on the same hardware
which do not have any problems at all, which leads me to believe it's
unique to this paticular driver....Are there any updates to this driver
and/or changes I can make to fix this? Otherwise I'm stuck with a
machine that is unable to have an unattended reboot or I run at 10Base
again.
Please cc me in any replies as I'm not on this list.
Thanks in advance,

There is also a potential gotcha with login.conf to look out for.
The resource limits may be different for daemon processes than for
user processes. Apache could have different resource limits
depending on whether it was started from an rc file at boot time,
or from the command line.

Subject: fresh fbsd-stable and real audio server hangs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG

Hi!
I'm experiencing something strange: I just updated one of our servers
this week-end, and now the real audio server won't run. I have rmserver
on a bunch of similar machines, and it works fine for them with
practically the same setup.
I updated the system from FreeBSD-3-STABLE as of March 31st to
FreeBSD-3-STABLE as of Aug 8. I also added a second processor. It works
very satisfactory, apart from this.
There's no way to access any of the rmserver's services; there's no
answer on the http admin port either.... When trying to connect with
rvplayer, the connection hangs on "Contacting host" until I kill the
server. I then get an error message 29, server disconnected.
The log files are never touched.
I'm of course sending this to the RealAudio support folks, but I get the
feeling they might not be able to help, since this seems pretty OS
related (I updated the OS, other machines run fine with the same
realaudio installation but with older (July 7th) FreeBSD systems).
I'm not to familiar at debugging this sort of thing, but I can see a
few differencies:
on the machines where rmserver works fine, lsof -i reveals:
# lsof -i | grep rmserver

Found some solid info on ISC's BIND documentation about trying to do
load balancing with DNS. The "SRV" record is designed for this but I
haven't found software that uses it (tho BIND8 implements it). So the
multiple records are a bit of a hack and will hose you if one of the
servers dies.
There's a pointer to "lbnamed" from Stanford which looks worth
trying. It puts a little load-monitor daemon on each server which the
balancing named queries; presumably it hands out records for the
least-loaded server and won't hand out records for servers that don't
respond.
It would be way cool to modify the server-based daemon to have it
determine the network distance/cost to the *client* then feed that to
the lbnamed so it could return a record corresponding to the server
fastest/closest to the actual client. This would implement WAN load

Use OSPF. Assign the IP address that it answers to a loopback interface.
Have the ethernet (or other) interface on a different network than
the IP address that answers requests.
Say you have two machines -
www.whatever.com that DNS assigns via round robin to these
addresses.
x.x.x.2
x.x.x.3
On machine A assign these addresses to lo1
x.x.x.2
and x.x.x.3 as an alias
On machine B assign the same addresses (again on lo1)
x.x.x.3
and x.x.x.2 as an alias
On machine A cost the IP address like this (as stub hosts in OSPF)
x.x.x.2 cost 1
x.x.x.3 cost 99
On machine B cost the IP addresses like this (again as stub hosts)
x.x.x.2 cost 99
x.x.x.3 cost 1
If machine A goes down, the traffic headed for it goes to machine B.
The same for machine B (except the other way around in reverse).
If you can run OSPF on the routers on the exit/entry points of the
segment you can accomplish the necessary costing of routes on the
servers via the public version of gated.
For machine A you could have (in the simplest form) in your gated.conf
ospf yes {
backbone {
stubhosts {
x.x.x.2 cost 1;
x.x.x.3 cost 99;
};
}
};
And for machine B
ospf yes {
backbone {
stubhosts {
x.x.x.3 cost 1;
x.x.x.2 cost 99;
};
};
};

In internet land, other name servers are cacheing info your nameserver
doles out to them about your domain. When a client browser hits
www.whatever.com the information returned by the nameserver _it_
is using may be days old. What *was* your most lightly loaded server
days ago may be getting hammered (or down) when the remote browser
does a lookup for www.whatever.com. The only way you can control
that is decrease the TTL significantly on your DNS records, which
introduces additional delay as your DNS constantly has to
repropagate to be in sync with the real-time loads on your server.
If the load is primarily random accesses from internet land the
end result is that (realistically) you don't have any more finer
grained load balancing that with the simple hack of round robin
DNS. One reason why is that the benefits of having a fairly long TTL
on A records in DNS (say a week) are tough to compete against for
any scheme that would favor the TTL being very small.

I could see such a scheme working for client softwares that are directly
using this nameserver (should be great on your own networks). The
model becomes less feasible if the accesses are coming from random
locations not directly using your nameserver (for example the internet).

Hi,
We had an increase in web requests today (about 500/sec) because of the UK
solar eclipse here, and it caused one of our web servers to have some trouble. It
was also coupled with the live broadcast being put up by FTP, and there was a lot
of FTP activity.
Where can I alter the item below, and what would be a sensible, but reasonably
high figure?
TIA.

Not really - most web browsers, proxies and telnets cycle through until
they find one that answers. Round robin DNS is in common enough usage that
it is quite well supported by client software. (Also, bind will randomise
the order and puts local networks first).

I think Netscape used to do this in software (at least I always used
to get the IP address of their UK mirror returned) but they seem not to
be doing that now.

Yea! we have such a setup like you've just mentioned but a RAS with a
PRI interface and modems is not cheap! 8K+ is what you're looking at.
You could go with modem racks that has biuilt-in terminal servers and that
simply connect to your FBSD network and talk IP, users just telnet to the
rack and get IP/PPP/SLIP sessions.

What kind of card are you using for this?
I have been looking for a multimodem card that I can use with FreeBSD.

Palle,
Make sure that you're specifying IP Binding in the
rmserver/pnserver config
rmserver like...
<List Name="IPBindings">
<Var Address_0="216.4.88.80"/>
</List>
pmserver like...
IPBindingList [{216.4.88.80}]
You never had to do this before, but it seems that 3.1
and up wants it.

That's controlled by the NMBCLUSTERS kernel option. Try something like:
options "NMBCLUSTERS=10000"

It's impossible to answer this question intelligently without knowing your
version of the OS and your current kernel maxusers setting, not to mention
memory, processor, etc. However in general for a short term crisis
situation like this you can go to 512 maxusers and 15000 NMBCLUSTERS on a
2.2.8 system, assuming that you have enough ram. I'd say 256M ought to do
it. If you have a 3.2 system you can go higher on these numbers, but
chances are you won't need to. netstat [-s | -sr | -m] will give you a
better idea of hot to tune it when the crisis is over.
Good luck,
Doug

This may be old stuff but is anyone getting dns mods fromtzo.com
hijacking ip addresses to their domains?
What do we do about it?
see www.tzo.com
They're about to be cut off at the FW

Could be an artifact of normal BIND behaviour. When a nameserver
queries for something in somedomain.com it is given a list of
randomly ordered NS records to try for a zone. The RTT to each
of the nameservers is measured and queries are sent to the server
that replies the quickest. The tracking of RTTs is done continually
to account for any significant changes in the routes between the
server that is asking and the server that is answering.

If you run BIND you probably don't need to do a lot, since it by default
rejects them.
DK Hostmaster got a lot of these and I wrote a layer 5 (I believe it's
layer 5) divert-thingie that drops any UDP DNS packet crossing your
FreeBSD with the opcode of UPDATE (=3D5).
If anyones interested in buying a copy, please contact me (expect 2 week
response as I'm going travelling in a few days)

Yeah, I think worse is that the clients (IE, NS) cache the record
forever, regardless of the TTL. If the server at the address dies you
have to stop and restart the browser. Yech.

Understood. And I think it would be hard to craft a metric which
doesn't swing wildly from under- to over-used; have to have the right
"damping" but also respond quickly to increased loading.

All the ones I've read about employ a hacked/proxy DNS which changes
responses based on <something>, at best by trying to triangulate on the
client's network. But you're right: increasing accuracy depends on
decreasing TTL and therefore you increase DNS traffic. A big win would
be if you could triangulate back to the client's local DNS; if the DNS
were one used by a large site (e.g. an ISP, AoL, etc) then the DNS
refresh load would be insignificant compared to the user population
being served.

Seems I need more sleep. Previously posted this and mixedup two
different posts when I wrote it. Need more caffiene I guess. Anyhow, if
anyone can help on the following problem (now with the correct
information) I'd greatly appreciate it.
I've recently upgraded to a 100base switch and put all of our main
servers on it. Some of the servers are running FreeBSD 3.2r with a
DEC 21143 controller on the MB (DEC 300i+ workstations). Problem I am
having is that they refuse to negotiate at 100base on powerup or reboot.
I added a 'ifconfig de0 media 100BaseTX' to the rc.conf for them, and
while I have a green light on the switch, until I ifconfig down, then up
the interface, it is not active. My 3.1 boxes seem somewhat more
tollerant to this problem. I've put new cables in to be sure they were
not an issue. I also have several MS NT4 machines on the same hardware
which do not have any problems at all, which leads me to believe it's
unique to this paticular driver (tulip driver?)....Are there any updates
to this driver and/or changes I can make to fix this? Otherwise I'm
stuck
with a machine that is unable to have an unattended reboot or I run at
10Base again.
Please cc me in any replies as I'm not on this list.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, this is definately not crescent fresh (uh, not good).
That's why I prefer the fresh and cool spiffiness of Foundry Network's
ServerIron's... point your DNS to a 'virtual server's' public IP
(one IP... never changes... no client restarts) which rotates among
multiple internal IPs (implementing your choice of load balancing
techniques and providing downed host detection, etc.).
A lot of clients use these, even more than those with f5's stuff, and they
tout their praises all the day long. I'm also starting to suggest these
to friends... Something one must always be cautious about. ;)
If you're trying to be creative or cut costs, then there's room for
debate... If you just want something that works well, and is pretty
darned fast to boot, try a ServerIron (I think there's even 'trial'
packages available)... 'Gosh, it sure is swell.' :)

Yes. IMO, the most simple and most usefull way is to split DNS for every
WWW/etc server, for example, if we have three machines in different
networks, they could be configured by this scheme
Network 1, WWW1 has ip-addres x.x.x.x
Network 2, WWW2 has ip-addres y.y.y.y
Network 3, WWW3 has ip-addres z.z.z.z
And there are three DNS-servers,
and DNS1 placed near WWW1, DNS2 - near WWW2 etc.
all DNS-server must disable round-robin feature,
and each one must have first A record for closest
WWW-server, i.e.
DNS1
www.your-domain.com A x.x.x.x
www.your-domain.com A y.y.y.y
www.your-domain.com A z.z.z.z
DNS2
www.your-domain.com A y.y.y.y
www.your-domain.com A z.z.z.z
www.your-domain.com A x.x.x.x
DNS3
www.your-domain.com A z.z.z.z
www.your-domain.com A x.x.x.x
www.your-domain.com A y.y.y.y

Subject: Problem with aliasing unregistered IPs on dialup server.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r

Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to configure dialup ppp server to
assign unregistered IP to dialup clients.
Before begining this process clients was assigned
real IPs per ttyd* basis. All the changes I made
was entry for one of the clients in ppp.secret like this:
testclient * 10.0.0.1 *
to override "set iffaddr" statements in ppp.conf's profiles
like this:
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 57600
accept pap
enable pap
# enable alias yes
# alias unregistered_only yes
# alias addr REALSERVERIP 10.0.0.1
enable passwdauth
allow user *
allow mode direct
set timeout 0
accept dns
ttyd1:
set ifaddr SERVERREALIP CLIENTREALIP1
[..]
ttydN:
set ifaddr SERVERREALIP CLIENTREALIPN
ppp starts like "ppp -direct $TTYN" from ppplogin.sh.
Also I've tried commented commands in ppp.conf. The result was that
client could communicate only with hosts on the same subnet as dialup
server was but not with hosts on another subnets of my network and
naturally not with the rest of Internet.
I've investigated that packets from client went outside with 10.0.0.1
source address w/o being aliased. And this is a reason of why client
cannot communicate with the rest of Internet.
Who can point me right way to force aliasing of unregistered IPs?
Thank U in advance.

No. Increasing MAXUSERS beyond 128 on a pre-3.2 system is very risky.
The problem is not RAM, but kernel virtual memory space.
BTW, there's no point in increasing MAXUSERS if you set NMBCLUSTERS
separately. The only other parameters controlled by MAXUSERS are NPROC
(20 + 16 * MAXUSERS) and MAXFILES (NPROC * 2), but MAXFILES can be
tuned at run time by setting the kern.maxfiles sysctl variable.
The default for NMBCLUSTERS is (512 + MAXUSERS * 16).

If you have a 3.2 system, you can simply add the following line to
/boot/loader.conf:
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="8192"
No need to build a new kernel.

Sounds like your Internet gateway doesn't know how to route 10.0.0.1 =
to your ppp server.

I ran highly loaded IRC servers like that for years. In 2.2.8 increasing
maxusers beyond 512 or NMBCLUSTERS above 15k is a pessimization, but those
levels are safe as long as you have the physical ram to handle it.

Unless you also need more of those other things too. :) In our case it
was maxfiles that was the issue. One of my servers often ran 5,000
simultaneous connections and we needed about 2.5 times that in open files
to handle it all. We could have gotten by with just adjusting those two
parameters by hand, but things seemed to run "better" with maxusers set
higher, and we could afford the wasted space in the process table.
I suggested raising everything at once because this is/was a crisis
situation for the user. However I also suggested that once he reaches a
stable level he should tune it back down to his actual needs.

No, they're not. There are "sweet spots" (specific values of maxusers
which work), but increasing maxusers beyond 128 on quarter-gig-kva
systems basically makes the system unstable.

maxfiles can be set at run time.

Greetings,
How do I get my 3.1 system to autoboot?
I have to press F1 and then F5 manually for the
system to boot. FreeBSD is the only OS installed
on the box.

You mean 'F5' then 'F1'. Just let it go, once you do it once, the next
time it will do it automatically.
BTW - This is a stupid question for -isp, why on $DIETY's green earth
would you send it to -isp. Use -questions next time.

If you believe that you should document it with accompanying
evidence to support your claims. I'm talking real world experience on
several machines (c. 20) over the course of two years, so I'm not going to
back down from saying that those settings do work.

No, it knows. I can ping from client ppp server and other hosts residing on
the same ethernet in the same subnet can too . Also I can reach 10.0.0.1
client from ppp server
and these hosts. I understand that while ppp-server has direct route to the
client and
other hosts on the ether have this ppp-server as defaultrouter they can
reach client.
But hosts from outside this subnet, such as host that is defaultrouter for
my ppp-server
doesnt know how to reach 10.0.0.0/24 hosts and they sends their repleys to
their
defaultrouters - checked with tcpdump. And my question was why ppp doesnt
alias the
packets from unregistered networks. I think ppp have to works like natd in
this case.
I.e. every packet from unregistered have to be resent to destination by ppp
with its own addr.
And answers have to be retransmitted to the client. Isnt it? What is the
reason of my failure?

Hmm. In previous letter I misunderstood U. Yes, of course my border router
doesnt
know where 10.0.0.0/24 or similar resides. It probably asks roots and obtains
no or
invalidate answers. But I beleaved that ppp masquerding such an addresses so
answers reach the ppp server where they are retransmitted to 10.0.0.1 or
similar.
What did I misunderstand?

Define small !
I run a webhotel / mailhotel on a IBM PC Server 320 / 64 MB / 4 GB, and =
host some 25 domains, with approx. 150 mailaccounts. And i have to say, =
it runs GREAT ! that said, i am aware i in the future have to offer some =
new products, which might need better HW, (PHP, SQL Database etc.). I am =
currently running FBSD2.2.8R, the plans are to upgrade to 3.3R when it =
comes - so i am currently testing methods of moving user accounts / =
homedirs etc (any good ressources ?).
The IBM320 is a P120 with PCI/EISA Bus - latest purchase was a UPS for =
it :-))
In Denmark we can get internet access without fee (other than tele), so =
i rely on this connection type rather than making my own dial-in.

If you've got the following setup:
------- ------------- --------
'net---| Box A |-- LAN --| Box B (ppp) |-----| Client |
------- ------------- --------
You need to run the aliasing software on the 'net side of Box A and =
make sure that Box A knows how to route to Client via Box B (10/24) =
so that it makes everything look like it comes from itself when it =
transmits to the 'net and so that it knows what to do with the =
replies when it gets them back.
My suspicion was that Box A didn't know how to route to Client via =
Box B.
If Box A can talk directly to Client, and Box A runs either natd or =
ppp -alias on it's 'net interface, there should be no problem.

No, but similar:

INET------|BOXA|---PPP-leased-multi-line---|BOX B |---PPP-dialup--|Client|
----------

On the BOXB ppp-server side I have aliasing with:
alias enable yes
alias unregistered_only yes
BOXB have real IP. All the packets from Client go w/o aliasing through the BOXB
outside the subnet.

You need to run the aliasing software on the external interface - in =
your case, either the external BoxB interface or have the client box =
run it.
Running it on the private interface of Box B doesn't work :-|

I've been trying to track down a problem on my e-mail server where it
stops processing smtp and pop processes for 5 minutes at a time.
# wc -l /etc/passwd
14945 /etc/passwd
We rebuild this file once per hour to add or remove customers.
I finally caught it with a top session running at the time.
Inetd was accepting new connections and starting popper but people can't
authenticate.
Sendmail accepts new connections but they stall until pwd_mkdb goes away.
When I try to run a command from the command line, it doesn't execute
until pwd_mkdb gets done.
The CPU is 97% idle during this time.
Does all file access in the system stop while pwd_mkdb runs?

Hi,
it takes quite some time to build a dbm file of 15k users.
pwd_mkdb would need to be rewritten to build the dbm file somewhere
else and then quickly unlink the old dbm file und replace it with the
new one.
We do similar stuff when building our dbm users file for radius. We build
it somewhere else and then quickly replace it.
pwd_mkdb is propably not made with this kind of stuff in mind. You would
need to fix that.
Greetings
Christian

No but all password lookups do. Both of theses commands rely on the
file you are rebuilding and the files involved are locked during the
process. You might try pwd_mkdp -d /tmp <> followed by a mv of the
relevant files into /etc or try pwd_mkdb -u <user> at the time the
passwd file gets modified and avoid the overhead of the total rebuild.
YMMV, I haven't used the -d option.

That did it. It went from 4:40 seconds to 20 seconds. I just gave it a
cache size of 10 MB on the command line args. I could probably tune it
down from there but I'm not into swap on this box anyway so it isn't
hurting me and as my userbase grows it will handle the load.
Thanks,

Thank U, Brian, once more. Aliasing of external interface helped.
Now masquearading works just fine. May be there is reason
to clarify in the ppp related docs where the aliasing should be
performed to work properly?

Greetings all....
I just finished making up a new system disk to upgrade one of our
servers to 3.2-STABLE because we use nfsd I have attempted to
set this up on the new disk.
On start-up I get the following in the message logs.
Aug 13 21:11:50 squid mountd[126]: can't register mount
Aug 13 21:11:50 squid nfsd:[129]: can't register tcp with portmap
If I start "mountd -r " and "nfsd -u -t -n 4" manually after the system is
up no problem it just won't do it automatically at boot... rpc.statd doesn't
even try to start.
The setup is exactly the same as the 2.2.8-STABLE machine which
is working fine.
I'm a bit puzzled any ideas where to look or what to try?
Please advise

You can also change the source code so that the default cache size is much
bigger. see
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pwd_mkdb
HASHINFO openinfo = {
4096, /* bsize */
32, /* ffactor */
256, /* nelem */
2048 * 1024, /* cachesize */
NULL, /* hash() */
0 /* lorder */
};
Change it to something like
2048 * 1024 * 5, /* cachesize */
make depend
make
make install
We use *10 here...
