If the program is running as the superuser, basically "How Do You Want To Crash Today?(TM)" :-) Doesn't sound like it is in your case, but check effective UID/GID to see if it's running with elevated priviliges. If the program has write access to any devices besides tty, etc, it can bring down a system pretty easily. > no swap use. Only that the CPU usage percentage is Very high. Load seems to > stay at ~1.0 Some servers of mine routinely run around 3.0-5.0 and are still very responsive. I've created educational demonstrations that have pushed a FreeBSD 4.1 system into the stratosphere of load averages (500-600) by creating a few thousand processes that sleep() then die ;-) Point being, here, is that load averages are very artifical terms, and are highly relative to the server and the processes that are actually running. > I have a program that I am running to compute apache logs and on many > occasions it will cash the server.

Absolutly So the server CRASHES? You mention crash and freeze in the same breath, here. If if crashes, does it panic, or silently reboot? If it panics, and you can manage to get a core dump, you should turn debugging on in the kernel and trace through the core dump after the system comes back up. If you can't get it to core dump at crash, you MIGHT learn something by starting the program, letting it run for awhile, then calling kill -6 programname to force the process to generate a core file. (Or even forcing a kernel dump) If the system only appears to hang, can you ping it from another box? Can you start a shell and kill the offending process? top(1) isn't always so hot... try writing a program that sits in a loop and outputs process information for your program, and system utilization, to a file every second or so. Use unbuffered IO and call sync so your stats are written out in pseudo-realtime. sleep() for a second or so. > So.. What can I check or monitor?

Do you have getty running on ttyd0? Do you have a fully cabled serial cable? If not, then DCD may not be there; you'd have to use cuaa0 instead. Do you kave a keyboard also plugged in?

Thanks, we have our boxes all configured with only serial access. therefor you can skip the following parts in your kernel script: - vga - sysconsole - kbdcontrol - keyboard you hav to insert in your kernel the following: - sio with flags 0x30 and in /boot.config "/kernel -vh" and in the /etc/ttys all the vt* are obsolete, the thing you need now is ttyd0. this has to be configured to the software (hardware) you plan to use and has to be set "on". this should bring your serial terminal up and is a 9600bps 8n1 with the terminal type you have configured. cheers lenz -- '\/` system/security manager < oo > phon +49-9131-877-138 --oOOo--~~--oOOo-- fax +49-9131-877-136 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Mon Nov 13 19:46:33 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from smtp1.sentex.ca (smtp1.sentex.ca [199.212.134.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 80C8537B479 for ; Mon, 13 Nov 2000 19:46:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from chimp.simianscience.com (cage.simianscience.com [64.7.134.1]) by smtp1.sentex.ca (8.11.0/8.11.0) with SMTP id eAE3kIx35144; Mon, 13 Nov 2000 22:46:19 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Tancsa To: randys@amigo.net (Randy Smith) Cc: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Remote console into FreeBSD 4.1.1 boxen Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 22:46:18 -0500 Message-ID: References: In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.8/32.548 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On 13 Nov 2000 16:02:37 -0500, in sentex.lists.freebsd.isp you wrote: >My questions are: >1) Is it possible to log in to a FreeBSD 4.1.1 (or higher) through a=20 >serial port?

I'm presuming that such a tool exists, but I have not found it. Something that collects all data from all console ports, logs each to a file, and permits attachment to the session to type actual commands? /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Tue Nov 14 10:27:45 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from inago.swcp.com (inago.swcp.com [198.59.115.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 76C0437B479 for ; Tue, 14 Nov 2000 10:27:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (deichert@localhost) by inago.swcp.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA04580; Tue, 14 Nov 2000 11:27:24 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: inago.swcp.com: deichert owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 11:27:24 -0700 (MST) From: Diana Eichert X-Sender: deichert@inago.swcp.com To: TCWORKS Staff Cc: Rob Secombe , freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Serial port server In-Reply-To: <3A11758D.FB12906E@tcworks.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org If you can find one on the used market iLivingston PM25's are usually real inexpensive, 24 ports plus a console port using 3 8-port octopus cables.

I've already tried rebooting the machine with quotacheck on boot enabled twice now, the second time being just this morning. Judging by the times on the files, the quota.user and quota.group files weren't changed at all by the quotacheck, and the problem was not resolved.

Is FreeBSD ready for LDAP > authentication and overcome the NSS issue? You seem to be mixing up two mechanisms: PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) and NSS/nsswitch (Name Service Switch). The former (PAM) is a mechanism for authenticating a user interactively using a user name and password. For LDAP, you can use pam_ldap from http://www.pdal.com/pam_ldap.html. PAM is supported by several platforms (at least Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD) and the interfaces are very similar. The latter (nsswitch) is intended to `switch' between different sources as used by gethostbyname, getpwent, getgrent, et cetera. The version of nsswitch that is available in FreeBSD-CURRENT (and NetBSD) supports files (e.g. /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts), NIS, and Hesiod as sources. nsswitch is supported by at least Solaris, Linux, and (Free|Net)BSD, but the interfaces are necessarily different between the three. I have further developed a version for FreeBSD that allows additional sources to be added as dynamic modules, and have ported nss_ldap from http://www.padl.com/nss_ldap.html for use with it. You can find the software at http://www.nectar.com/freebsd/nsswitch. It is a work in progress, although I believe it is completely functional [1]. I expect it will be ready to commit to -CURRENT sometime next month. I hope this information helps, -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org [1] The primary deficiency is that the NetBSD nsswitch API is not quite sufficient for all types of sources. Luke Mewburn and I are hashing out an API that both platforms (FreeBSD and NetBSD) will be able to use -- shortly after we have that settled, I think this nsswitch implementation will be ready for -CURRENT.

Actually, the kind of use I expect: = Kerberos 5 for authentication -- GSSAPI or SASL can be used for authentication over a network, e.g. GSSAPI for telnet/ssh, SASL for pop/imap -- pam_krb5 (in Ports) can be used for interactive authentication, e.g. the console, or telnet/ssh when dealing with GSSAPI-challenged clients (particularly on Windows) = LDAP for directory/authorization -- via nss_ldap for getpw*, getgr*, other bits of libc -- native API for LDAP-aware applications -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Tue Nov 14 13:56:16 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from mail.softclub.net (spider.softclub.net [195.68.136.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4B07F37B479 for ; Tue, 14 Nov 2000 13:56:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from ws08.hq.softclub.net ([192.168.10.8]) by mail.softclub.net with esmtp (SOFTCLUB #3) id 13voAw-000Dvr-00 for freebsd-isp@freebsd.org; Wed, 15 Nov 2000 01:03:34 +0300 Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 01:05:48 +0300 From: "Alexei V.

This isn't guaranteed to work properly (as you've found out) even though it does work with some versions of sendmail. In another reply Bill Vermillion suggested that you could create a user with a .forward file in their home directory. The .forward file can contain multiple addresses. That certainly works. Another option suggested on the sendmail website, is to use an alias instead of a dummy user, This reduces the number of accounts on the machine. For example, In the virtusertable put @domain.com fallthrough and in the aliases file put fallthrough: addy1@domain2.com,addy2@domain3.com We've used this method with success.

There are a number of problems with ntop (1.3.2 26th October) on FreeBSD (eg Mr Petri's letter of a few weeks ago) among them that when it's built with pthread support (-pthread), it uses all of the CPU (built without pthread support, it behaves). The problems are manifested on FreeBSD 4.x. ntop is able to use threads on many other platforms. ntop is a wonderful monitor. If you have ever wanted RMON2 like ability in software with a browser interface, ntop is for you. There is a port of ntop (for 1.1) but it displays the same CPU hogging behaviour as the later version. There has been no response from the ntop FreeBSD port mailing list. Thank you.

You will find this a lot nicer if you have the backplane connected to a RAID controller, particularly a Mylex controller supported by "mlxcontrol". Hot swap support isn't really a factor since hot-swap support is only useful in a RAID configuration, and the software RAID module, vinum doesn't support hot-swapping drives.

That would be nice, wouldn't it? But I don't think anything like that exists yet. I wonder whether some money for a contract to develop such a thing would help? I wonder whether others would like to see a utility for AMI RAID management? It is my impression that the AMI cards have nicer setup software on ROM than the Mylex AccelRAID cards. I fooled around with a Dell Poweredge with a Perc/2DC card which is AMI under the hood, and the onboard config is was much nicer. Since AMI and Mylex make a series of comparable models, I'd probably take an AMI card over a comparable Mylex card. > -- > Troy Settle > Pulaski Networks > 540.994.4254 > > It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Fri Nov 17 13:29: 3 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from server02.belenus.com (ns2.belenus.com [131.99.17.130]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B705437B479 for ; Fri, 17 Nov 2000 13:28:59 -0800 (PST) Received: by server02.belenus.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) id ; Fri, 17 Nov 2000 22:28:53 +0100 Message-ID: From: "Schmalzbauer, Harald" To: isp@freebsd.org Subject: AW: Best Gigabit ethernet for 4.x Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 22:28:49 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I just heard that Intel doesn't supply documentation on ther chipset = and the FreeBSD and Linux support is quiet bad.

I read somewhere that the netgear card has a smallish buffer, and that the alteon was a better choice. How does the 3com card compare in that respect?

The Netgear boards have 512K SRAM, the 3Com boards have 1MB SRAM. You can get Alteon-branded boards (with either 512K or 1MB SRAM), but generally only directly from Alteon, and you're going to pay more than you would for either the 3Com or Netgear boards. The 3Com and Netgear boards are identical to the Alteon boards. The only difference is they've got "Netgear" or "3Com" silk-screened on them, and the Alteon boards don't have any logos on them. FWIW, 3Com is buying Alteon's NIC group. Apparantly (according to an Alteon engineer who posted on the linux-acenic list) they're just buying the technology, not hiring the engineers: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001115/tc/nortel_com_dc_4.html Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
