Corporate BSD Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org There is a new list dedicated to BSD in your organization. This group is intended to be part advocacy, part BSD and part third party systems. Basically anything which will help you get BSD in use or to keep it running in your organization. How does this group differs from: ** Questions We are presenting this group as NOT for absolute beginners and we will suggest to them to seek out the appropiate list. In particular if the question has no relation to BSD use in an organization. ** Advocacy This list will focus on advocacy in a more narrow scope such as strategies to present BSD to your manager or the organization. ** ISP Although ISPs are organizations, their needs are different. For example an ISP may dictate through a contract with the user their rights. On an organization there may exist rules and regulations and the BSD admin would have to be bound to those. i.e. email retention and access policies. An organization may have a policy which dictates that all emails are kept in archive and that they may be randomly checked or scanned for keywords. It is unlikely that an ISP would want to or ask of their user's permission to keep indefinitely and spot check their email. That of course is just an example, but there are many other areas that differ. Some questions that may be raised by this announcement and their answer: -- Why isn't this list hosted by one of the BSD mailing list. I originally thought of this list as a FreeBSD list and asked the List master (jmb) about it. His answer was that he would prefer that we start it and that if it is truly active that he would host it with the FreeBSD lists. I thought that this makes sense.

We're trying the little iNTEL 1100 and find it's quite nice. One really great feature for ISP use is that during boot, the ROM/BIOS displays and commands are routed through the serial port on bootup. Unlike just having the serail port be the console, where you have to have a video card and keyboard in order to change BIOS on boot, it all comes out through the serial port. I found a video card from a Canadian company (I can't recall the name now) that did the same things, but they wanted $250. We're also installing the BayTechnolgies telnetable and dialup power strips - so combining that with a server that can be totally adminstered through serial ports seems to be an almost ideal situation. We're just bring all this up so I have no history on how will this is going to work.

Hi, Where I work we have the same problem we were not however able to get rid of this problem by elimination ie. we replaced scsi cable, scsi adapter and like you we replaced the drive (same specs same seagate) twice with the same results. We also added a fan for the drive noticing it became quite hot with no improvement. da1: Fixed Direct Access Last that remains is probly a swap of the motherboard which seems wrong since the motherboard doesn't touch the drives at all ie. there is a controller inbetween. Power supply we thought may cause it too but swapping the power cables to drives this did not seem a problem. We've sticked this drive into another host of almost the same configuration and ran bonnie continuously on it as so that we would put continuous use on the drive with no errors reported.

Thanks guys, You have confirmed my suspisions. I don't think I am getting acurate reporting. The problem is that I haven't actully touched this machine in months. I am not getting healthy readings from healthd either, so I will make a trip to the machine and check for myself. I do believe I would probably get a call from the fire dept if these temps are correct. -- Jim Weeks -------- A mind is a terrible thing to lose! How I miss mine..

As to why I don't know. I am glad that I went to the machine to check this out though. CPU0's fan had given up the ghost. If the heat sink had not been large with a lot of fins no doubt the PII would have fried. Before cracking it open I put a probe right in the top of the case and recorded a temp of 148F which is above the shutdown limit of 140F. I am still surprised that everything else was functioning normally. I replaced the fan with one that did not have the monitor wire, the only one I could find on short notice, and rebooted into the BIOS setup. According to the data in the bios everything, with the exception of the CPU0 fan speed, is operating within acceptable limits. I would assume since the data is displayed correctly in the bios setup, clock failure should not be the problem. I still get the same data from "lmmon" and here is what I get from healthd.

Both the apache_ssl and mod_ssl modules seem to rely on openssl to one extent or another. I've got lots of experience with apache_ssl, and it works quite well for me. The mod_ssl folks seem to have good stuff as well, and theirs is more extensively documented. > Stronghold (www.c2net.com) We used stronghold for a little over a year before switching. It's a good product, although if you're doing a lot of installations it's a little difficult to break out of their "hand holding" mode of installation. The folks at c2net are very professional, and they went out of their way to help us customize their product to fit with our special needs. Their product is basically apache + mod_ssl, combined with some custom hacks to walk you through installation and maintenance. > Does anyone have experience with any of these products? Has anyone > implemented one and then switched to another? Truth be told, I probably wouldn't have switched at all if not for the fact that our new corporate parents didn't already have a well supported ssl version of apache. Stronghold is a good product, and although their license is expensive, you do get good quality for your money. If you aren't totally comfortable with the nuances of SSL and think you might need some support, I strongly recommend them.

At the time, I also had concerns about security. I don't know how much good it did, but I blocked the rpc port at my borders to keep intruders out. (perhaps there's other ports that can be blocked out). Honestly, if I had it all to do over again, all my servers would be placed behind a fairly strict firewall, only allowing access to those ports necessary to get the job done, keeping everything else (dialup, routers, and office workstations) on seperate subnets/segments. I never got burned, but I've learned a lot over the last 5 years I've been doing this stuff.

We have just bought Joydesk for a free mailservice that we are rolling out, which will auth against any SQL db. Its primary dev platform is on FreeBSD and its pretty well tested. See http://www.joydesk.com. MY present mailserver is CommuniGate pro http://www.stalker.com/CGatePro.html which is one of the best servers I have ever seen and now can auth against LDAP. This is very beautifull in that you can define Domain Level Admins and just set the limits on a per domain basis and let the domain owner add/delete accounts and all that stuff and not care about what and how many accounts each domain has. It has saved us many man hours in setup of email here. -- Micheal O Shea Email:micheal@com4u.ch com4u.ch http://www.com4u.ch Breitistrasse 7B PGP key available upon request.

Obtain the pre-built libraries from the RELEASE/SNAP distribution: FreeBSD 3.x: 1. Obtain the des.?? files from the des directory of the distribution. 2. As root, extract the libdescrypt.* libraries into /usr/lib. cat des.?? | tar -C / -xpzvf - usr/lib/libdescrypt.* FreeBSD 4.x: 1. Obtain the crypto.?? files from the crypto directory of the distribution. 2. As root, extract the libdescrypt.* libraries into /usr/lib. cat crypto.?? | tar -C / -xpzvf - usr/lib/libdescrypt.* Also, the FreeBSD apache13-fp port is currently broken due to the recent upgrade of the fp exts by Microsoft/RTR. A patch has been submitted to fix the problem, but it hasn't been applied.

It is a complete fully functional 1RU unit with two 10/1000 NIC cards, and a BIOS which redirectes the output to the serial port on bootup, so that you never have to have a video card. Let me go to the iNTEL site right now to get the pointer. The exact model number is the ISP1100. Both the 1RU (1100) and the 2RU (ISP2150) are listed under http://www.intel.com/network/products/internet_servers.htm It's not easy to find at first unless you have the URL. Intel's site says the 1100 is designed for dedicated hosting and the 2150 is for shared hosting. The latter is a 2 CPU machine. ISTR that there is a model coming to replace the 2150 that will have the BIOS serial redirect features of the 1100, as the current 2150 has an intergrated SVGA graphics board. The BIOS redirect is one of the main features we went with the 1100. There is a video card manufacturer in Canada, whose name I have forgotten, which makes a video card that redirect the BIOS to the serial output on bootup. Not having to have a monitor to change BIOS settings is a major plus IMO. Bill. p.s. - Would you repost this to the ISP list. This machine - my home machine - is currently connected through a provider that does not reverse the IPs and thus posts from this machine are rejected, and I don't have the time to telnet to the machine where I can post from at the moment.

Problem with having a single machine as the balancer is that you inject a single point of failure. IMHO the balancer must support some kind of failover to a twin balancer box, or better, share load between the two balancers if they're both up. DJB's djbdns (aka "dnscache" suite) claims to do something like this with DNS but I don't believe it checks server health at the application layer, which IMHO it must if it's to be used as for fault tolerance at minimum, balancing at best.

The "better" solution (of sharing load among balancers) comes too close to using a fully distributed solution for which i am afraid i do not have in mind a solution that can give good fairness (in terms of load distribution among the servers) and scalability. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .

I'm very interested in hearing such a solution. The point where we're failing here is the following one: one SERVICE (not the complete box) of the box goes down. IP itself stays up. Now the hotspare should jump in and take the IP over but how are you going to protect the network from being screwed up by two identical IP addresses? I'd really appreciate it if one could explain me how to solve this problem (IP takeover with completely failed boxes is easy). One possible solution would be that one: each box can do a hardware reset of it's twin (connect it's reset switch to the other one) but this one brings some rather bad security issues with it (not to mention the problem of not shutting down the system correctly...[1]) If one box get's hacked, the attacker can reboot the other one possibly causing it to fail... Best regards, Gabriel [1] With regard to this point, I'd be really interested in the softupdate stuff. However, I didn't manage to find any manpages about it. Any pointers?

Use IP aliases. If the box is faulty but still pingable with the IP alias, log into the box, shutdown the alias. Next, turn the alias on, on the other box. This implies that there will be something that can 1: babysit and monitor 2: capable of logging in and running ifconfig 3: Advertise to your clients, the IP alias to connect to. this leaves you free to move that alias to any box on the same network. I do it at work all the time. Works great. I've written scripts to keep it automatic but am not allowed to distribute them (sorry). The task itself wasn't that hard. In our case, we don't bother with having the administrive box (babysitter) redundant; if it fails, the failover itself stops working. Meanwhile, we get paged, and fix the admin box in <15 minutes, leaving a small window where failover won't happen where it should have. Despite lacking failover, the IP alias will still be taking client traffic on its own. Note that this method is low tech, and doesn't cover geographical diversity, etc. It just helps make sure that at the location, you can always make sure that the IP address given to customers, is on _a_ box that can do the job.

Let's see: +----------+ 10.0.0.1 (main) | | box A |=====================| +--+-------+ 10.0.1.1 (diag) | |1.1.1.1 | | | | heartbeat | | | |1.1.1.2 | +--+-------+ (10.0.0.1) (main) | | box B |=====================| +----------+ 10.0.1.2 (diag) | On both machines you should run monitoring software that checks the health of the machine and/or service. One of the things it needs to check is the heartbeat (it can be as simple as pinging, although a message exchange would be better). The software should allow you to set up criteria for switchover, like: Box A: * monitor health (apps/OS). If sick, start switchover on other machine, shut down main interface (e.g. delete address, remove MAC) and kill the service. Box B: * if no heartbeat, check over diag interface * if no response over diag, assume the other box is dead and go active. This includes configuring MAC/IP address. * also, if the other box tells you so, go active after specified timeout (to give box A a chance of shutting down gracefully) Optionally, you can involve third machine that can monitor and manage the whole cluster. Also optionally, you can have a watchdog in each machine to eliminate situations when IP stays up, but the machine is wedged anyway. Hacking up something like that is about a week/two of work (I've done this for my employer), but setting up the environment to work properly is not a trivial task - you really need to understand the specifics and behaviour of the OS and monitored applications, adjust various timeouts, add some heuristics, spit up three times over your shoulder etc... If you take a look at commercial packages of this type, they do exactly this - it's usually just a bunch of shell scripts, some small utils, plus about a week of work for highly skilled (and expensive) consultant.

And how do you solve the Where we work, we do it with a simple inetd daemon that understasnds simple commands (no ssh, very limited command set, and protected by firewall). If the box is up *at all*, that functionality has also been up. We've been fortunate. Otherwise, we'd have our pagers going nuts, and we would use a console to get to the machine [all hosts have consoles hooked up via terminal servers]. One could make the IP changing interface as simple or complex as deemed fit, for the application they will fill. If they are loose on the net without good firewalls (likely if on a budget) then SSH would probably be the only way. I'd use SSH with *restrictions* - have SSH only permit specific commands to be ran via the rsa key. Or, use non-privileged accounts for ssh'ing, and allow the non-priv account access to ifconfig. Really, its up to the end site to figure out how far they need to go. One could even arguable have the baby sitter box use serial cables to log in via console and do the job.. Have fun :-).

Foundry Networks makes a load-balancer box that is able to keep itself synced with another unit for both fail-over and load-balancing.

Because the backend server will no longer respond! Remember load-balancers are just fancy NAT boxes. If a request is translated, and there is no response, the server is dead. Load-balances like those from Foundry Networks also measure the response time. If a particular backend server starts to respond more slowly, the load-balancer will give it less requests.

All seem to work the same way from what I've seen. Each sits in the path of the traffic to be balanced and redirects packets to a destination system by re-writing the addresses in the packet header. It also has to re-write the address in the responses when they come back (so as to not confuse the client browser or whatever). If the response traffic doesn't arrive (usually after a few mS, but configurable) the resource is marked 'down' and temporarily removed from the load-balancing pool. It is 'ping'ed at regular intervals while its in that state to see when it might be back up (although the ping is actually a 'half-open' of the TCP port of the service, i.e. send TCP SYN packet look for ACK but don't bother completing the handshake when the ACK does come back). When services are back up the affected system is added back into the load balancing pool once again. This latter mechanism only works when the balancer can see the return traffic of course and sometimes they can't (in the modes where they direct traffic to another site, conceptually usually one that's 'closer' to the client). The algorithms used to balance can also be many and varied and some you'll encounter are round-robin, quickest response, least number of connections and lowest load (needs a host that can report its load usually via SNMP). Some boxes (notably F5's) can in fact be configured to offer a mix of each algorithm on a proportional basis. Some of the systems also offer QA facilities like comparing the output of the same URL on different boxes when they're balancing HTTP and raising an alarm when they see differences. Clearly this only works for static content but it can be used to good effect on things like home pages and 'important' services. Don't use use this on web pages with lots of personalisation or dynamically rotating banner ads or the like though. Hope this helps, Enno.
