Recently one of my machines (2.2.5-R, 6x86-120MHz, 64Mb RAM, 8.4GB HD) has started doing some very strange things... 1. sh was core dumping inconsistently on and off in a WWW crawler script that calls another sh script in a loop (I've _never_ seen sh core dump before!). This seems to have stopped now. 2. Idle time sometimes seems to be sitting at 0.0% for noticeable periods (as reported by top), with no apparent CPU hogs showing in the process display. top itself is usually the biggest "hog" at about 4%. There are currently 95 processes running. Here's part of top: last pid: 20335; load averages: 0.57, 0.98, 0.95 12:56:44 89 processes: 1 running, 87 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 2.2% user, 0.0% nice, 7.0% system, 5.5% interrupt, 85.3% idle Mem: 25M Active, 6496K Inact, 20M Wired, 5544K Cache, 7681K Buf, 6052K Free Swap: 128M Total, 80M Used, 48M Free, 62% Inuse, 24K In PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 20334 root 34 0 644K 808K RUN 0:00 4.47% 2.14% top 8152 squid 2 0 32780K 11440K select 20:02 1.75% 1.75% squid 10175 root 4 0 1272K 780K bpf 14:18 0.65% 0.65% tcpdump 6019 root 2 0 356K 288K sbwait 50:39 0.04% 0.04% ipltd 10176 root -6 0 156K 200K piperd 5:30 0.04% 0.04% ip-mon.x 14071 root 2 0 316K 248K sbwait 28:10 0.00% 0.00% ipltd 3. Squid occasionally complains of an error via syslogd like: Nov 16 08:00:40 satin squid[19656]: xmalloc: Unable to allocate 4536 bytes! ...it then sits there for anything between 2-15 minutes (not accepting any connections during this time) before dying with a signal 6 and being restarted by RunCache. After that it works fine for another half day before dying again... I've pointed proxy.sensation.net.au to another backup machine for the moment but some customers will still be affected. 4. My ISDN PPP connection has been rudely severed a couple of times, but ip-down is *not* executed. I'm guessing pppd is dying suddenly. The interface is no longer marked UP or RUNNING but the source and destination addresses are still there. (I suspect gated may actually be the one doing the interface change perhaps after a timeout, it also correctly switches the default route to another link). The last 2 problems are Bad and Very Bad (in that order of importance 8-) ). I haven't yet rebooted the machine as I'm a little wary of doing it "just to see if it fixes things", especially on a production machine which is located remotely. Anyone have any ideas before I try rebooting when I can get on site? Thanks in advance....

Tomorrow I'm plugging in the second and third modems. Does anyone have any suggestions for good multi-port boards for FreeBSD? We're looking for high port density here, either 16 or 32 ports per PCI slot. Max speed required is 38,4000, with the usual being 9600 at low volume. We're going to use this same machine as a serial port server to talk to serial console ports on a bunch of our lab equipment. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Even though finger and talk worked fine, telnet, ssh, ftp, mail, and http would all hang regardless of which way we were going. Futhermore, we noticed the new server doing the same thing for sites such as www.sgi.net, but working fine for say, www.yahoo.com. Traceroute and ping to anywhere works fine. At the time the new machine was running sendmail 8.9.1, named, socks 5, squid 2.1 and had 2 intel etherexpress pro cards, but after disabling everything including the second ethernet card and rebooting, nothing changed. And in a truly weird thing, http to sunsite.unc.edu works fine but ftp to it hangs (yes, both were up at the time). This is the part that's truly baffling. All I can think of a this point is that it's a bad ethernet card or a corrupted installation. It's definately not a routing issue (i.e. www.iup.edu won't work but www.co.iup.edu is fine), and probably isn't DNS since doing nslookup on just about anything from the new server works fine. Any ideas? A quick look at TCP dump shows the client machine just sending out packets but never getting a reply. They are on a dialup connection with a Compatible MicroRouter, but no filtering that I'm aware of. -- john@arnie.jfive.com "Mr. Spock, your mind is incedibly logical and analytical!" "Thank you."

I've followed the instrucions in INSTALL as to ownership, permissions and suid. With both GDBM and NDBM I get error setting ownership of POP authorization or unable to lock POP authorization DB I searched DejaNews and found two references to these error messages: one recommended hacking #define HAVE_FLOCK out of config.h and another patching popauth.c: "Popauth explicitly locks the database with open/flock before doing a write. This works with dbm. But the linux gdbm does it's own locking, and when gdbm tries to open the file for writing, it sees that the file is already locked, and refuses to open it. The fix is simple, don't do the explicit locking if using gdbm." Neither of these solutions seem to work for me. Has anyone been down this road before?

Thanks for any information > > RYan Just as a note - if you're seeing 0 0 0 0 from the same user constantly, it probably means they're autmatically checking mail every x minutes, which will keep a dialup user on-line all day if idle time < x. It may be unintential, but is a common way for people to run dedicated connections without any fancy scripting. I noticed a few of our users checking mail every five minutes which kept them on-line for days, and setup radius so they would be disconnected after 4 hours.

In my experiance, this is usually caused by an overly restrictive firewall setup that blocks all ICMP and thus breaks Path MTU Discovery. Next time, try changing your default route, adding "-lock -mtu 1500". This will disable PMTU Discovery.

I Still have a massive problem with "500 Internal Server Error" with kvm_read errors running cgi's. I maintain a total of 47 machines around the US all of them that have any anount of traffic are having these problems. I have 5-6 locations ready to bailout and go back to Linux if I can not solve it. I have sent Email to some groups with no response. I have read several hundred reports about this online with no resolve. Jordan or some one I need your help quickly. Tech support told me to email you since they did not have an up to date phone number. I have tried mod_perl with the same result. I tried the new 1.3.0, 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 and saw too many problems and went back to 1.2.6. What am I missing? What is slapping me in the face that I don't see? Here is a bit more information about the system problem it appears that kvm is coming in to play here. Once the cannot fork error starts showing up in the apache error log file. If I HUP apache it will work ok for about 30 minutes. In top it appears as though I have lost memory and vmstat is reporting major page faults. Under no conditions can I get the kvm_read: Bad Address to re-cycle. Is there a way while the system is running that I can re-init the kernels virtual memory? Server loads are running at average 2.05, 3.20, 2.15. I can fix the problem by rebooting the box it will go about 24 hour (2 million hits) before occuring again. Reminds me of a BRG (Bill Reboot Gates) NT box which has to be re-cycled daily because it looses memory pointers and looses rescources. Jordan: Have you tried asking the true experts when it comes to this topic? freebsd-isp@freebsd.org would be my very first avenue of recourse if our positions were reversed. I'd explain exactly what I was trying to implement (# of desired simultaneous users, type of CGI script(s) being run) along with the Apache version, OS info, hardware manifest and other such information as you have already provided me.

So, to track the bandwidth we bought an HP 24M Managed Hub which HP told us would allow us basic tracking of how much GB goes to their machine.... wrong! We talked and talked to their tech people and they said nope, won't do it.. only their switches will.... So, we decided fine they can go onto a Cisco Catalyst switch which should allow us to track them... small problem... management won't let us spend more money on stuff right now til next year.... blah blah blah.. I would like to just pop an additional network card into a machine here and then track their usage via FreeBSD. Is there any tricks to this? Do they have to be subnetted off our main LAN in order for the routing to work or can we just route one IP to them using simple route statements? By default, our Cisco routers dump all LAN traffic to our .2 box which then automatically sends to whomever is broadcasting for that IP... can a FreeBSD box broadcast for itself and a routed IP without a lot of configuration therefore making the routing easy? Have I totally confused this matter? ;) Thanks, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Wed Nov 18 15:07:20 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA25385 for freebsd-isp-outgoing; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:07:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from whistle.com (s205m131.whistle.com [207.76.205.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA25365; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:07:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from archie@whistle.com) Received: (from smap@localhost) by whistle.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id PAA07482; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:05:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from bubba.whistle.com( 207.76.205.7) by whistle.com via smap (V2.0) id xma007473; Wed, 18 Nov 98 15:05:11 -0800 Received: (from archie@localhost) by bubba.whistle.com (8.8.7/8.6.12) id PAA15120; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:05:09 -0800 (PST) From: Archie Cobbs Message-Id: <199811182305.PAA15120@bubba.whistle.com> Subject: Re: VPN, an off topic question In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19981113235929.00985eb0@mail.kersur.net> from Dan Swartzendruber at "Nov 13, 98 11:59:29 pm" To: dswartz@druber.com (Dan Swartzendruber) Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:05:08 -0800 (PST) Cc: klam@awod.com, wjw@IAEhv.nl, isp@FreeBSD.ORG, questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL38 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Dan Swartzendruber writes: > I looked at www.skip.org, but the FreeBSD support is stone old.

Currently I have 2 servers running FreeBSD, with one running dialin/mail/www and the other more powerful handling news, proxy, and assorted other things. I will soon be taking on a virtual ISP, and although a lot of the ground work has already been done with regards to accounting, masking the fact that it's a virtual ISP etc, but I think it's time to move to something like RADIUS for authentication so that I don't have a single machine handling dialin/mail/www for both my ISP and the virtual ISP. Ideally I'd want to move to one machine providing basically inbound pppd only (perhaps sendmail for backup MX) and the machine with more grunt handling their home dirs and email/www. It's probably likely I'll be building a 3rd server early in the new year which again makes it more important to think about moving to a system that doesn't rely on kludges like duplicating /etc/passwd entries over several machines. I'd be interested to hear of the options available for FreeBSD, I've had a quick look at portslave pppd but it didn't seem to be able to do everything I need. The requirements are reasonably simple, basically: * central password database with slave login and pppds running on any given machine on the LAN able to query this db * must be able to assign dynamic IP addresses from different blocks based on username - for example, a different virtual ISP, or a different quality of service (different accounts routed through different capacity links need different sets of IPs) * must be able to assign static IPs for certain usernames Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

The sangoma S508-FT1 is able to handle fractional to Full T1/E1's and configuration is easy. They support Frame Relay, PPP and HDLC, so you can pretty much be sure you'll be able to make it work with whatever system you are using on the other end of the line. You can put 8 of them in a single machine (assuming you have enough slots, that is)...

X-Mailer: VM 6.34 under 19.16 "Lille" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org David Greenman's recent comment about 'too-string a firewall for ICMP' in one of the lists got me thinking about some machines on my network. Currently, I have a 'home-network' of machines in each employees home, which has it's own dedicated subnet (4 machines, whee!). However, the machines connected to this subnet can not connect to every WWW server on the net, while the 'gateway' machines for each home have no such problems. Example: Internet <-> Firewall <-> Modem Server <-> Office machines ^ ^ ^ | | | v v v Home networks routers <-> Home machine 1 (home networks routers are multiple machines, each connecting to the modem server from a different house). All routing computers in this case are running FreeBSD, as well as the firewall and modem server. Note, all the office machines work fine, all of the home network routers work fine, but all of the home machines work 'most of the time'. For example, I can't connect to www.intellicast.com from my box that I'm typing on now, but if I startup netscape on the router box next to it things work fine. Could this be related to ICMP? The 'router' boxes have two addresses, one is the 'office address' so it appears to be on the office network, but it also has a second address that is one the 'home subnet'. The only thing I can think is that somehow routing isn't working, but for about 80% of the sites on the WWW, everything works peachy? How would I go about debugging this? Thanks!

My problems have been with file handles and number of processes, but it sounds like yours is with memory. I found very little log information to indicate the problem, which might be considered to be a flaw in either the resource limit implementation or my more or less standard syslogd.conf. It was the per user/process limits rather than the system wide limits that were the important ones in my case. My solution has been to modify the apachectl script to include calls to ulimit. Other useful techniques included a once/minute cron job putting info about resource consumption into a log - useful mostly because it told me that it wasn't the system limits that were the problem. I wasn't even close to them. echo `date`, `pstat -T`, `sysctl vm.loadavg` >> /var/log/uptime.log 2>&1 Also I used a tiny cgi script to verify that the resource limits were what I thought they were supposed to be: #!/bin/sh echo "Content-Type: text/html" echo echo "
"
limits
echo "
" This may not be your problem - Your comments about what you see through top and vmstat make me think maybe it's not. In any case, it's something you'll likely run into sooner or later, and quick to check. Questions for someone: * Is there a way to get the resource usage for the a process to see how close a process is to it's limits? * is there a way to get syslog entries where resource limits are enforced? (and particularly where that kills a process) Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Fri Nov 20 22:42:09 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA16332 for freebsd-isp-outgoing; Fri, 20 Nov 1998 22:42:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from Radford.i-Plus.net (Radford.i-Plus.net [208.24.67.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA16327 for ; Fri, 20 Nov 1998 22:42:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rewt@i-Plus.net) Received: from Radford.i-Plus.net (rewt@Radford.i-Plus.net [208.24.67.15]) by Radford.i-Plus.net (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA05539; Sat, 21 Nov 1998 01:41:30 -0500 (EST) Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1998 01:41:30 -0500 (EST) From: Troy Settle To: Deepwell Internet cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Frontpage In-Reply-To: <4.1.19981120170141.009f1830@mail1.dcomm.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 I don't know the plusses and minuses of each option you describe, but I don't see a problem with either 2.2.x or 3.0 FreeBSD running the BSDI port. The current configuration on one of my servers (2.2-STABLE) includes: Apache 1.3.1 SSL FPE (the 1.3.0 patch applies cleanly) PHP 3.0.3 (need to up this to 3.0.5) MySQL 3.21.33 It works a charm with 50+ virtual hosts (only a few are FP), never giving me a problem. Also, I did have mod_perl in there, but decided that I could do without the bloat. If you go for the above config, build/apply each item in the order I listed. It will work without much fuss at all (though you might want to edit src/Configuration[.tmpl]). Once built, you will need to play around with the configuration a bit to get it working (run fp_install.sh on the stock configuration before going on to modify it for SSL). What I had best luck with, was binding apache to localhost, then using a directive for everything else, including the root web.

This could be a Path MTU Discovery problem (if ICMP fragmentation needed packets don't get through, the host won't stop sending large packets with the DF bit set, which'll get dropped because they have the DF bit set). > If it were a simple configuratino issue I wouldn't have posted to the > list.
