Hey there- I have just set up a new Gentoo mirror in Salt Lake City, UT, USA at the School of Computing, University of Utah. We are syncing the portage tree every 30 minutes, and the full tree every 4 hours as recommended on your mirrors page. We have a gigabit connection to our campus backbone, which has multiple connections to commodity Internet, Abilene, etc. The machine is a dual-opteron that also serves as one of the main USA mirrors for mozilla, in addition to mirroring apache, SuSE, OpenSuSE, Ubuntu, etc (see http://mirror.cs.utah.edu for details). Everything we mirror is available via HTTP, FTP and RSYNC: http://gentoo.cs.utah.edu ftp://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/pub/gentoo rsync://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/gentoo-x86-portage rsync://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/gentoo-portage Please use "mirror@cs.utah.edu" as the contact point if you have a mailing list or other email contact- that is a mailing list that goes to all of the admins here in the School of Computing. Thanks! And you have any questions, just drop us a line at mirror@cs.utah.edu at any time. -c -- Systems Administrator School of Computing University of Utah clake@cs.utah.edu http://www.cs.utah.edu/~clake

Any update?
Time-out, please update the bug when you're ready/have an update.
Hey, I never did hear back on this. I did respond via email back in October, but it looks like it didn't make it into the ticket. I just tried responding to the ticket via email again and got it bounced: <bugzilla-daemon@gentoo.org>: cannot append message to destination file /dev/null: destination file is executable Hmmm, I wonder if my email has gone to /dev/null in the past? ;) Anyway, here's what I said last back in October. Could you please re-open this ticket and let me know what's going on? Thanks! -c ---- October's email ---- No problem- everything looks good from our end. I had some issue with the portage syncs. but I upped the timeout to a time sufficient enough to make sure that things go through without failing. I've also not been able to get FTP to not go through from off-site. I've tried local and out-of-state accounts, and they've all gone through just fine. I haven't been able to verify that things work from India (the most distant account I have is in Indiana, funnily enough). However, I noticed that the IP address you were coming from (in India) was 192.168.45.12, which is defined a private-only address space by RFC 1918 (which we block). Anyway, in the meantime I've added a CPU and some memory to the machine, and would like to upgrade the kernel- I figured I'd wait until the downtimes were over before responding. I hope to do the upgrade either over the weekend, or perhaps late one night next week. But, if you'd like to hit our site again to see if there are any problems, that'd be cool. Cheers, -c

I have tried from both and and off campus, using HTTP, FTP (using PASV) and RSYNC and have no problems (and I just reverified this). Likely this is something not to do with the mirror, but with the connection between the two. Thanks! -c
Chad, How do you black requests coming from NAT'ed machines? I think the problem is this : You're seeing my Private internal IP (should be 192.168.99.something) instead of my public IP. None of the other mirrors do this, and we have a lot of users that will try to sync this way. Other public servers, like Apache for instance, see my public IP and not an internal LAN IP, so it's not an issue with anything on my side. Let's investigate this further.
Well, we shouldn't be blocking NAT'd machines at all- the only reason I referenced the private IP addr was that back in October, when I first opened this ticket, I saw our router dropping private a private IP addr at about the same time as when you were testing....dunno know if that is what is going on here, and given that you get *some* connectivity (http, at least starting the FTP conversation) I doubt that's the case. Could you please try the tests again, and let me know time you tried, and what IP (public) you are coming from? This box is a primary mirror for SuSE, Apache, Mozilla and Slackware, so we get a *lot* of traffic, so knowing the time/IP would help me pull out your connection from the logs. Thanks! -c

Weird. I see wget logging in from your machine, and then that's it. Nothing in our firewall logs, just silence. Hmmm, I wonder if campus is doing something really weird, although I doubt it as I can do an ftp transfer from that box off site no problem: [229] xmission:~:> wget ftp://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/timestamp.chk --14:28:35-- ftp://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/timestamp.chk => `timestamp.chk' Resolving gentoo.cs.utah.edu... 155.98.64.86 Connecting to gentoo.cs.utah.edu|155.98.64.86|:21... connected.

Oh, and I assume it doesn't matter what interface you're hitting...but could you try this: wget ftp://mirror.cs.utah.edu/pub/apache.org/DATE just to make sure. Thanks! -c
Same with DATE.
Ok, the campus firewall have adjusted some things (they didn't tell me exactly what....I've asked for specifics). But, I was wondering if you could try it now to see if there is any change in behavior. Thanks! -c
No change from here. Still the same.
Grr. I have since tried this from 4 other off-site sites with no problems whatsoever. Can you try to ftp this from one of our other machines, to help figure out if this is a networking or machine issue: ftp://ftp.cs.utah.edu/users/clake/motd Thanks, -c

I can see the MOTD just fine, but I'm not in India! I'll try to get some movement on this by poking fox2mike next time he's available - since it'd be nice to get this *long* open bug resolved and you added to the mirrors list! :) Cheers, Alex

Chad, I'm sorry, but there still seems to be an issue here. To be honest, I've tested a ton of mirrors (almost everything that's on http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml) and not one of them have an issue from where I am now, Singapore.

I'm not sure if that's a hint. > Exactly- but like I said, I can't see this problem on any of the external machines I have access to either. Now that I can verify that you can log into ftp.cs.utah.edu, can you fetch these files: ftp://ftp.cs.utah.edu/users/clake/gentoo_test ftp://ftp.csbs.utah.edu/pub/ssh/README Again, I can use PASV ftp from off-campus and out of state just fine, so my guess is that something really subtle is going on with a firewall somewhere in between our two servers. The two servers I'm asking for you to try exist within our network (cs.utah.edu) and another network on campus (csbs.utah.edu). Both are used all the time from off campus, including APNIC and NAT'd addresses, and I've never heard of a complaint for either server. That doesn't mean the issue isn't somewhere on campus though, and if it is, I would like to find out who's firewall is creating the problem. Thanks for your help! -c
Ok, another 6 weeks go by without a response. You know this ticket is over 1.5 years old now. Never mind- it's obvious you guys aren't interested in having us help you out with having a mirror site set up. I'll just remove the files, tear down the mirror, and be done with it. -c
