Archie around for crack. It'll tell you what a users password is, if you've got 5 or 6 days on a Pentium. ;^) The UNIX password encryption algorithm is a one-way street. When you set your password with passwd(1), the password you typed is used as the key to encrypt some known text; the result is stored in the passwd file. When you login, your password is read from the terminal, encrypted in the same manner, and the result checked against the string in the passwd database. There is no known decryption for passwd entriess, unless the NSA knows something they're not telling us. If your user forgets his or her password, set the password to a foolish value and "expire" the password. The user will have to choose a new password upon logging into the system. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to set the password expiration (or change time) on FreeBSD. If your user has already forgotten the previous value, obviously he or she needs an opportunity to choose a new password. ;^) -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 24 00:38:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA13043 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 24 Mar 1996 00:38:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA13031 for ; Sun, 24 Mar 1996 00:38:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) id TAA24127; Sun, 24 Mar 1996 19:25:51 +1030 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199603240855.TAA24127@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: Booting off SCSI disks when two IDE disks also installed.

I built my new kernel, did a "make install", and then rebooted. However, while trying to the symbols, the loader said: "Error: C:1024>1023 (BIOS limit)". This is kind of an unexpected message, since not only does "fdisk" say only 1023 cylinders, "disklabel" says that the a partition is cylinders 0-34.

It sounds like you are trying to log in from a DOS computer to a linux machine. If that's really the case, I believe you should try to find help elsewhere (linux newsgroup).

Er. I'd suggest reading up a little more on how X manages colours. However, to answer the issue at hand; when you start X, it will request at most 4096 colours from the shared colourmap. On an 8-bit display, this means that there are no free colours in the shared colourmap once Netscape has started. There are three possible solutions here : - Don't run Netscape. (It's not really that wonderful...) - Upgrade your video hardware and run a 16-bit display. Expen$ive. - Run Netscape with the -install option. This will force it to use a private colourmap. It's yukky, but does what you want.

Shapiro" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Wes: Here's a slightly more detailed explanation which you may (or may not) find helpful. The FreeBSD boot sector uses BIOS calls to load the kernel. This imposes a number of limitations, the most important of which are: o The entire kernel image (or secondary bootstrap image) must fall within the part of the drive addressable by the BIOS. On older BIOS's this meant using translation for large drives. o Only those disks that are visible to the BIOS (i.e. the first two) can be booted from. Before you installed the second drive, the adaptec controller was looking, saying "okay, scsi0 should become BIOS drive 0x81" and installing the drive in the BIOS table and the adaptec ROM disk BIOS as the BIOS for that drive. Once you installed the second IDE drive, though, I bet you didn't notice that the adaptec board started saying "BIOS not loaded" (or some such). Basically, it's deciding that BIOS drives 0x80 and 0x81 were already mapped, and giving up. Actually, my board (2940W) says so even if only one IDE drive is installed. Actually, my guess is that it wasn't installing the BIOS with one drive either, and you were getting away with this by sheer luck and register level compatibility. If your board supports multiple IDE interfaces (many now support two), you might find that you are able to make things work by installing your 2nd drive on the 2nd interface. Even so, be aware that you're playing with fire here, and not all boards will work. I don't think that any of the fancy boot loaders will work for you. Most of them are dependent on the BIOS.

No, there is no need to recompile, taka a look in /etc/sysconfig. And you might also wan't to do man ifconfig.

I had the same problem a while back when I first installed (also 2.1.0-RELEASE). I also have 2 IDEs and 1 SCSI, and FreeBSD was going to the SCSI drive. It is possible to have it run like this; while the method I used may not be the best, it was quick 'n easy and seems to work fine. I have OS-BS (the beta, I forget the version #) installed, and boot DOS (1st IDE), OS/2 (2nd IDE) and FreeBSD (1st SCSI). (FWIW, OS/2's Boot Manager will also boot the three OSs from the 3 hds). I had to patch one thing to get FreeBSD to load. Basically, what happens is that in this case (2 IDEs and 1 SCSI, probably others too), the biosboot program does not pass the correct root/boot device/partition to the kernel. You should be able to boot up fine by disabling the 2 IDEs in your CMOS setup. Once you're up, you can edit /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c, shortly before the call to startprog(). It seems that at this point, unit holds the drive # (0 for 1st IDE, 1 for 2nd, 2 for SCSI). When it gets passed to the kernel, through startprog() the bootdev param, the kernel then assumes that the boot device is sd2 (I think). My solution was to hardcode unit = 0 before setting up bootdev through MAKEBOOTDEV() (yep, cheesy but it works). After that, compile, and run disklabel to install the new biosboot. Then you can re-enable the IDEs in the CMOS, and with OS-BS (or another boot manager of your choice) you should be able to boot fine. Someone may have fixed this since; I have seen some patches to the biosboot stuff, but haven't really looked at them. Carlos -- Carlos A.

This is pretty easy to do. Basically, in your login script, you have it call tty to determine which tty is being used and then assign the IP address based on the particular line. #!/bin/sh # # Dynamic PPP login account # PATH=:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH mesg n stty -tostop case `tty` in '*ttyd1') exec pppd `hostname`:machine-A debug ;; '*ttyd2') exec pppd `hostname`:machineB debug ;; esac exit 0 I just whipped this up, so it probably won't work but it should give you an idea on how one could set it up. This also assumes you are using kernel-PPP, but the ideas should be relevant for iijppp as well.

By any chace, does anyone know where I can find drivers for this? Maybe someone is working on drivers? I know there is much better support for Adapted than Western Digital, but this SCSI controller has a great feature that I haven't seen in any Adapted SCSI controllers. At boot time, it allows me to choose whether I want to boot from my first IDE or any of my SCSI devices. No more inconvenient boot menus. I would really appreciate any help, since now I am having to use a slow Adaptec as my secondary SCSI controller just to allow my FreeBSD to see my SCSI cdrom.

I set up tip to dial in to my local internet service provider. However, tip just timesout after being invoked. Is there some problem with the way i configured the /etc/remote and /etc/modems files? I created a generic hayes modem entry in the /etc/modems file as the aptiva modem (which comes on the Mwave card) is hayes compatible. Did i get my initialization string wrong? I tried the general initialization string used (i don't exactly remember the string :-) ) If someone has experienced problems with using the modem thru freebsd on their aptiva and have managed to solve the problem, then i hope they can provide some answers to me.

I can ping them, and they reply, but telnet's get as far as making the connection (which I can see via netstat) but after it tells me that the escape character is ^] I don't see the login: prompt, nor do any characters I type get sent over the modem line. I don't see the rd/sd lights blink when I hit keys. However, after a period of time the connection is closed by the remote host (I'm assuming because of a timeout). I can telnet to these freebsd machines when I run linux on the dialup machine. When I'm in freebsd I can telnet to a sun, and get to the ethernet'd freebsd boxes indirectly. I can telnet/ftp/rlogin fine to/from other freebsd boxes that are connected via ethernet, so I'm thinking that something is not right with my machine that must access through dialup. The machines are running 2.1R.

How do I find out what someone's password > is ? There are three ways, and two are easy. The first is ask them. The second is make a guess, encrypt it using the crypt function (the one in perl is handy), and compare the result with the encrypted copy kept in master.passwd. (Note - when encrypting your guess you will have to use the same 'salt' as was used when their password was originaly created. The 'salt' is usually the first few characters of the encypted password - perhaps someone else knows which ones.) Of course this may take a while if the person followed the basic rules when thinking up a password. The third (hard) way is to watch them enter it using a netowrk sniffer or something sneaky like that. Network sniffers tend to be complex things to impliment and use.

I've got a 3c509-TP card, used with an external BNC tranciever. My 486 machine doesn't seem to be able to recognise it (2.1.0R), seemigly regardless of what IRQ/port address I set it to. Windows95 does find the card just fine, as does the DOS NDIS driver, etc. Interestingly enough, Windows95 does not show, or make any refrence to an IRQ when using the card, and I also noticed that when I switched the card (using the 3c5x9cfg program) to, say port 280, that Windows still worked just fine, even though it was still set to 300. I tried the card in another machine (a P150) and FreeBSD finds it just fine. (Although something is strange with the interrupt #s, as when the card is set to IRQ 11, BSD finds it at IRQ 10). Windows95 works fine as well, but it DOES find, show, etc, that the card is using IRQ 10... I know the driver is still buggy, but does anyone have any idea what is going on here? If not, perhaps this strange behavior should be passed on to whomever is working on the 3c509 driver. My second question is with sysinstall. Are you not supposed to be able to go back into Sysconfig and change your interface settings (ie, add a new interface)? I tried that the other day on one machine, and it wouldn't go back into the interfaces menu. We couldn't set up ppp when we installed BSD, as the serial ports had to be disabled for the mach 64. It's not really a big deal to do it manually, although ppp is a bit of a pain, I just thought it was suposed to work. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I think it may have problems with, say, going back and trying to install XFree after the system is installed, as well, which would be nice to ba able to do. (I accidentally named the directory wrong in the DOS partition, so it never installed X, then I had to go back and do it manually because sysinstall wouldn't do it.) Boy, the install process sure is slick compared to, say 2.0, though! Later......

However, to answer a better question, you probably don't want to do this. There are two parts to X: the server (which displays graphics on hardware), and the client (which sends messages to the server to display graphics on the server's side). startx is designed to start (and run) the X server. You'll probably need to be at the console to use startx usefully. As far as for running clients (the programs that want to display graphics, like Netscape or Emacs or rxvt or what have you), you *can* run them on the telnet machine over telnet and have them work. > > Thanks Much, > > Alexander Berry, Jr. > aberryjr@dial.illinois.net > 73364.1734@compuserve.com > STANDARD DISCLAIMER > > Bryan K.

I know that MS did some nonstandard things that cause problems (regarding negotiating the DNS, I believe, not a bad thing if done in a backwards compatible way), and that only the 2.2.X branch of Linux's ppp will work. Oh, this is for dialing into a FreeBSD machine on the internet, not the other way around, which would be a sick and disgusting concept anyway :-) 2) Can FreeBSD work on a drive set up using LBA? The motherboard/bios would be handling the translation. Not a critical issue, but I want to set up 2 255M partitions, and that plus root won't fit below 1024 without LBA. I wouldn't expect there to be a problem, except possibly reading the partition table. Thanks for any info.

Don't know from that description; I have 4 machines doing exactly this (two are acting as filtering routers and the other two are firewalls (which thus don't run routed...)). None of these have any problems, with 2.0.5R, 2.1R, "-stable" or 1.1.5R (yes, it's old!). You do need to make sure that none of the ip address/netmask pairs overlap, though I don't know if routed would hang in that case. Check the ifconfig parms for both cards, and make sure you have only one default route (and that the default route *works*)... If you're running ISA SMC cards (and some others too) they have memory windows too; those have to be different from each other and from anything else on the bus, also (VERY important) marked non-cacheable to the bios if there is such an option in your setup (most pentium and some 486 systems take care of this one in the page table and not in bios setup; I presume that fbsd sets that bit for cpu's that support it). (I've even run machines with two cards on the same physical net with non-overlapping address/netmasks to handle a transition; that worked fine though some routes got inefficient, especially for UDP... In this case you shouldn't run routed without -q, though if all routers are set up right it won't hurt) (I used separate cards because with aliases routes got stuck sometimes; the machine never crashed but sometimes it wouldn't get to one or the other subnet.) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 12:52:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA03967 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 12:52:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from richc.isdn.bcm.tmc.edu (root@RICHC.ISDN.BCM.TMC.EDU [128.249.250.37]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA03950 Mon, 25 Mar 1996 12:52:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from rich@localhost) by richc.isdn.bcm.tmc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id OAA02495; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 14:52:52 -0600 Date: Mon, 25 Mar 1996 14:52:52 -0600 Message-Id: <199603252052.OAA02495@richc.isdn.bcm.tmc.edu> From: Rich Murphey To: gpalmer@FreeBSD.ORG CC: ports@FreeBSD.ORG, questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-reply-to: <379.827779387@palmer.demon.co.uk> (gpalmer@FreeBSD.ORG) Subject: Re: Voice Capable modems Reply-to: rich@lamprey.utmb.edu Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk |From: "Gary Palmer" |I've just got myself a new USR modem, and I somehow ended up with one |of the new voicemail capable modems (I'm not complaining :) ).

Have you guys tried the March release mgetty-0.99 on ftp.leo.org? It may do the job, but it needs some ports patches before it will compile... I recall hearing someone say that class I voice/data/fax modems can't differentiate between data and the others, but class II could. But a class I can still do the fax/voice autodetect okay. Well, if anyone gets that mgetty 0.99 March release compiled, please let me know. Otherwise, it would still be nice to get the latest Wine (also needs patches to compile) to work with the Win3.1 modem software that's included. Does anyone know anything about the Wine FAQ that says you can use dosemu and throw Win 3.1 on top of it to get Windows emulation? ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || 2022 Taraval Street #10560 NexGen benchmarks available on our WWW site || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 16:39:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA21988 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:39:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA21981 for ; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:39:08 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id RAA12970; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 17:22:28 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199603260022.RAA12970@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: More X question.

Reply-to: jdiesel@iee.org Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there I did send an email yesterday, regarding this subject, but got no answers (which I usually do very promptly), so I thought that my information supplied was not complete enough, so here goes once again. I have a standard pc, 386DX 40Mhz, with 8Mb RAM, and: Maxtor HDD 1024 cyl, 16 heads and 63 sectors = 504Mb, bytes / sector = 512. Under DOS the HDD works perfectly, and so do the serial ports! The program QA Plus (for those of you who know it) reports that the HDD is an IDE type with a HD base = 1F0h. I have partitioned it into three partitions and the once I am trying to install FreeBSD onto is 200Mb. I do a rawrite of the boot.flp onto a diskette, and boot the system. My experience tells me what to look for. I find the network card, and the console and standard things, but no serial ports (COM1 and COM2) and no wdc0. I reboot DOS and all are there. I do have an oldish controller card, where the serial, parallel, floppy and HDD controller are all on one card, and I have lost the instructions to the card so I don't know exactly what jumpers should go where, but it all works under DOS. Is there a problem with the 1024 cyl, I did read teh FAQ sheet and noticed some issues on the 1024 cyl stuff. I also noticed in some source code (wd.c) that it has some comments about 1023 ... But in the source it also shows that an error will be shown if this does happen, but why do I loose my serial ports. I would appreciate any information, like maybe changing the bios on what disk I have, etc. Many thanx JAson *********************************************************** Please Note, my new e-mail address: jdiesel@iee.org *********************************************************** Jason Diesel ======================jdiesel@iee.org====================== http://www.dataware.de/~jason From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 16:49:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA22525 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:49:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from cocoa.ops.neosoft.com (root@cocoa.ops.neosoft.com [206.109.5.227]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA22520 for ; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:49:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dbaker@localhost) by cocoa.ops.neosoft.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id SAA00506; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 18:48:57 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 25 Mar 1996 18:48:56 -0600 (CST) From: Daniel Baker X-Sender: dbaker@cocoa.ops.neosoft.com To: Duane Ferrell cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Login In-Reply-To: <199603260139.RAA03733@server.imsday.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The ID is root. so, this is what it will look like FreeBSD (cocoa.ops.neosoft.com) (ttyp9) login: root Password: then you type in the password there.

I have looked into this briefly and it doesn't look to be a simple task but we are willing to try. I do want/need some infornmation though. 1. Is there any kernel hacking documentation outlining the layout of kernel sources etc. If so where may i find it. 2. Is there any documentation specific to developing an LKM under FreeBSD, since our intention is to do that. In general do you have any documentation/suggestions/infornmation that you feel we should have to aid us. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks. -- _______________________________________________ | Adam Migus amigus@cs.mun.ca | | Computer Science, Memorial University | ----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 19:19:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA05640 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 19:19:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from wedge.its.utas.edu.au (wedge.its.utas.edu.au [131.217.10.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA05633 for ; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 19:19:36 -0800 (PST) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.1/8.6.6) id OAA12452; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 14:19:00 +1100 (EST) Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 14:18:59 +1100 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au To: Darrel Herbst cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: telnet hangs over slip to freebsd boxes?

Since I want to be able to use this machine with FreeBSD, I'd like to consult with the group before I make the final decision. The notebook I am considering is the CTX EZ350D. Through some contacts I am able to get this unit at a very good price. Obviously, I'd prefer to spend less money, that way I have money left over for other toys... er, necessities, like PCMCIA cards, Zip disks, etc. But if this unit will not work with FreeBSD, I'm willing to consider an alternate. I don't mean if it won't work AT ALL with FreeBSD. As long as FreeBSD runs, I'll be happy. I don't need top performance, I'm not a power user, etc. At minimum I'd like to be able to run FreeBSD console sessions and use the laptop's built-in COM ports (*not* PCMCIA) to drive a modem for contacting BBS's and using my PPP connection. Obviously, the more "goodies" I can use (e.g. Xwindows, using a PCMCIA modem and/or network card, etc.) is great, but not altogether necessary. Anyway, here are the spec's on the notebook, and some notes/questions I have re: them. Any and all answers or help greatly appreciated. IntelDX4/100 CPU This should work. Hopefully the APM features will work with the FreeBSD apm0 driver? Touchpad (as opposed to a mouse or trackball -- one of those things that looks like a miniature graphics tablet, you move your finger on it and the pointer moves) Hopefully this is PS/2 mouse compatible (or however laptop pointing devices are emulated?) Works with XFree? 8 MB RAM expandable to 32 MB I know, 16 would be better, but I've run on 8 before, with no probs. Removable 520MB Hard drive I know, a bit small, but my current FreeBSD partition is 540MB and I'm not exactly hurting for space. I'll eventually want a bigger storage space, and I'm thinking along the lines of a SCSI PCMCIA adapter and a external Zip or Jaz drive... will this work? (also see notes below under PCMCIA) 10.4" active matrix color display Nothing unusual here... builtin 16 bit sound card Is it SB16 compatible? Or will it work with the FreeBSD snd driver? Removable NiMH battery Nothing unusual here... 3.5" 1.44m floppy disk Just as long as I can boot the FreeBSD bootdisk, I'm happy... 32-bit VLB Windows accelerator with 1 MB VRAM Chipset? XFree86 compatible? I don't need >256 colors but would be nice... 1 Type II, 1 Type III PCMCIA slot What's the status re FreeBSD and PCMCIA? I would ideally like to stick to a RELEASE or STABLE version, but if I must run CURRENT, I can cope. Is this PCMCIA controller supported? What PCMCIA devices are supported? (I'm interested in modems, network cardsk, and SCSI cards.) EPP parallel, high-speed serial, sound in/out, external monitor, and external PS/2 keyboard ports Good, the serial ports have 16550's. I suppose I should be able to run a external modem off one of these, if I can't/don't want to run with PCMCIA devices? If anyone has had experience running FreeBSD (or really, any of the free UNIX OS's) on this laptop, successful or no, I would appreciate some insight and/or information.

I had a lot of problems with this, especially after looking at the conner home page on the net, and saw that you cannot always add a second HDD to a system that contains a conner HDD (especially the older ones) so I removed it, and now only have the one. I did boot with the -c option, and have tried both the visual interfaces and the normal one. One thing I did notice, is the "probe" feature is not in the 2.1.0 release, although the doc says so! I think that would be a clue. Maybe I should try the 2.0.5 release to see if it can find my missing things. However, does anyone know of any problems with these multi I/O cards causing conflicts and so on? I have a feeling that FreeBSD is trying to manipulate the card in such a way that it cannot recognise something, why else would I loose my serial ports only with FreeBSD booting, but not with DOS.

I think the right word is "DOS > partition", which take almost half of my hard disk, now, I do want > to remove it, how to unmount it? Yes, that sounds like the DOS partition. If you want to completely get rid of your DOS partition and use the whole disk for FreeBSD, the easiest way is probably to reinstall FreeBSD. In the disk slice editor, delete everything, and create a single entry for FreeBSD. It should also be possible to delete the DOS partition using /stand/sysinstall from a running system. This is potentially dangerous: I don't think that sysinstall will stop you from deleting your own slice while you're running. If it works, however, and if you can create a second FreeBSD slice, you might be able to mount this slice as another set of file systems. Possibly somebody who knows disk partitioning better than I could comment; whichever way you go, consider this very much an experimental option.

I'm currently using NIS to distribute password info between FreeBSD servers. o What of NIS's functions can be handled by Kerberos? What can't? o Related to the above, if program X is used to using the system password database (which may or may not be NIS-based), how does Kerberos change the picture? With Kerberos present, will program X automagically access the Kerberos system, or is this functionality best achieved with some sort of NIS/Kerberos coexistance? (I've found a vague reference that hinted that this is what is necessary.) o In answering these issues, what things must I think about if I'm concerned with the prospect of scaling this system to 1000 users and beyond. (I'm quite serious about this!) o Are there and good, comprehensive books about Kerberos? I've found some papers, but they are mostly conceptual and don't get into the actual implementation details.

Assuming that you are relying on a name server on another system, and that you only have a single gateway, you can do this with the following two steps: 1. Changing the name server information. Look in the file /etc/resolv.conf, which will look something like: ; ; BIND data file ; search FreeBSD.org cdrom.com nameserver 204.216.27.3 nameserver 131.119.245.5 Change the address(es) of the name servers to the new values. These values will work straight away. 2. To change the default gateway, look in /etc/sysconfig, where you will find something like: # Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none. defaultrouter="204.216.27.1" Change the address to indicate your default gateway. After changing the value, you'll have to tell the routing table about the change. You can omit this stage if you intend to reboot. Enter: # route delete default # route add default 213.143.91.33 This is a pretty superficial look at things, but it should work in most cases.

I have been running FreeBSD 2.0 on a DX4/75 subnotebook (samsung) with 20mb memory and a 520mb disk for about 8 months now (nice notebook). The DX4/75 is plenty fast, not complaints about speed. I even do rather large compiles on it. >Anyway, here are the spec's on the notebook, and some notes/questions I >have re: them.

The apm and pcmcia support is basicly experimental. I couldn't get anywhere with the stuff that shipped with 2.1. Some fine people in Japan are working on more support: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html but I have yet to get my 28.8 modem card or apm to work. I am too short on time to learn enough to debug it right now, so I am hoping others will get it working. Check out the cards they say work and stick with them. >8 MB RAM expandable to 32 MB > I know, 16 would be better, but I've run on 8 before, with no probs.

Compare the chipset to what XFree86 supports. XFree86 doesn't support the particular cirrus logic chipset I have. The ones that are close don't work. None of the commercial X-servers work either. I am forced to run in 16 color mode until I get the time to debug it (if I ever get the time). >EPP parallel, high-speed serial, sound in/out, external monitor, and >external PS/2 keyboard ports > Good, the serial ports have 16550's.

The serial port works like a champ, I use high speed external modems with no problem. A very cool thing about the EPP parallel port is that FreeBSD supports TCP/IP over a laplink parallel cable. For <$10, I have a reasonably high speed point to point network with my desktop. Much faster than going over a null modem cable. I install freebsd via parallel port TCP/IP. Good stuff, I owe who ever did the a beer. >If anyone has had experience running FreeBSD (or really, any of the free >UNIX OS's) on this laptop, successful or no, I would appreciate some >insight and/or information. Please e-mail me at d_burr@ix.netcom.com. The bottom line: Pick you system carefully. There are a lot of variables in notebooks and you can't swap cards to get things to work. Find out the video and pcmcia chipsets and compare with the tested ones. Don't expect a ton of "just do this" suggestions. The people on these lists are amazing helpful, but I have found that people don't encounter the same problems I do. Probably due there being so many different notebook configurations and not a large user base. Don't let this discourage you.

I have heard of a file > called .htpasswd that has something to do with it. There are a number of things involved, which are potentially complex and occassionally confusing. I'm presuming you're using Apache or NCSA here (actually, NCSA, but I think Apache's similar). This is a cookbook only, and presumes tons about your httpd setup. If you're configuring your httpd, you'll need to look at the manuals: Apache: NCSA: Essentially, you have to do two things: 1. Tell the httpd you want to use a password file, and where the password file will be. 2. Tell the httpd the username and passwords. To do 1, use a file called .htaccess in the directory you want password-protected. Here's a simple example: ---- cut here ---- AuthName NetVoyage Employees AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/users/bogawa/www/manual/.htpasswd require user bryan ---- cut here ---- This file will prompt for the password for "NetVoyage Employees" (the exact syntax and appearance is browser-dependent). This will look in the file /usr/users/bogawa/www/manual/.htpasswd for the passwords. It will only accept requests from user bryan with a valid password. A password file looks like this: -------- cut here--password file ----------- bryan:$1$qP$mVYGkbck6MwwFdPKMmxAC. guest:$1$rt$pfewA0e.af7QzxVL59D/p/ -------- cut here ----------- So, the passwords are encrypted (with FreeBSD's MD5 crypt or another MD5 password encryption method, if I'm not mistaken). The password files are most easily handled with a program htpasswd which comes with NCSA and Apache. Invocation of htpasswd is: htpasswd [-c] filename username it adds the user named username to the htpasswd file named filename. The -c flag creates the file, without that flag it will modify or add the user as appropriate. There are a number of more advanced options (such as groups and global configuration file options), but this is designed as a simple cookbook example for someone to play with to get running. bryan Bryan K.

And I think not answering > is rude. I'd have to disagree with you here. I think not answering questions is a perogative that everyone has. I don't answer every question, for a number of reasons: 1. There are some questions I don't know the answers to, and have no trivial way of getting answers to. For example, I have never run PGP and I don't run 2.1.0 on most of the systems I have. The only answer I could give is "Sorry, can't help you", and I don't want to answer every question I see that I can't answer with "Sorry, can't help you". 2. Some questions I think (or see) others have answered. Duplication of effort (and twenty messages saying "this is how you fix it") increases traffic. Unfortunately, if everyone thinks that, no one will answer, and the question will be missed. 3. I don't want to. There are a lot of sub-reasons (I'm busy, I'm late, I want to go home, the answer is extremely complicated and would take too long to write or be misleading, I am actually doing work, I am feeling lazy). I like FreeBSD, but supporting it is not the highest thing on my priority list (nor my employers, I'd imagine). So, I don't think non-answers should be seen as rude. I know how it feels, but it's something where (sometimes) persistence pays off, and having a thick skin (when possible). bryan > > Annelise [...] Bryan K.

I think key authorities will come into being if there's a market demand for them. If I understand correctly, there are only about 22,000 keys currenly listed on key servers. The demand for a reliable authority could arise from corporations wanting to provide reliable keys for people ordering from them. Meanwhile it's not clear that there are major problems with the current distributed system. >That aside, I think that the newest version was reported to compile >without changes; perhaps you should update your sources? It might >get you running code, even if it doesn't make the port work. I have the latest version, from MIT which is probably as good a place as any. I downloaded it twice (and got several difference sources, compressed in different ways), and also let the port go out and get the distribution files. The experience with all of these is the same. On 2.1 they do compile (using the port), but the when run the program produces an error when trying to decrypt a file that says "Error: Nested data has unexpected format. CTB=0x75." The number after CTB= varies depending on the file encrypted. Actually the program can be compiled without using the port on 2.1 by commenting out the lines in /usr/include/sys/types.h relating to lseek, whose type conflicts with zipup.c, or by changing the type in types.h from long to int or vice versa, I forget which it was. However the result is the same. The program does compile using the port on 2.0.5. I sent a note to the maintainer of the port, ache@FreeBSD.ORG, but I have not heard from this person, if in fact this is a person. Actually I would like to upgrade the office system from 2.0.5 to 2.1, but I'm reluctant to do so when 2.1 seems to have these peculiar problems.

These are usually packaged as part of a standard kit to make your network safer. > o In answering these issues, what things must I think about if I'm concerned > with the prospect of scaling this system to 1000 users and beyond. > (I'm quite serious about this!) You may find that over a certain point, the hash tables used for Kerberos are inefficient. In using a commercial product under Solaris, we had the option of moving to what they call the "c-tree" release. You may also want to setup a slave security server. > o Are there and good, comprehensive books about Kerberos?

Kerberos 4 & 5 are quite different, and you want to be using 5 and not 4. I've found the RFC sufficiently detailed (RFC1510), but there are errata waiting for a new RFC and the GSS API is documented elsewhere.

I have encountered occasional sig 10s - which is annoying since it forces me to restart the ppp program manually. I've tried investigating this problem, without much success. I rebuilt the program with -g, and tried gdb on the core file, with no consistent results. However, one trend is definite. The lifetime of a ppp process before I get a sig 10 is related to the uptime of my machine. Abends in the first 24 hours are very rare, but by the time the machine has been up for a week, ppp won't usually last 24 hours. One other thing is consistent - the crash occurs when the ppp program is very busy, for instance when it first connects to my ISP and goes through the handshaking procedure (this is the most common point for a failure) or transferring a large file or web page from a fast site. Today I was looking at my system performance using Xperfmon++, to se if that could give me a clue - and it may have done, hence the title of my e-mail (finally, he gets to the point :-). When not connected through ppp, my machine runs at about 250 interrupts / sec. This seems to be a fairly sensible level for a machine running X with half a dozen windows open. If I ping a remote site, ppp dials and connects, and at the moment of connection, Xperfmon++ reports over 4500 interrupts / sec. This seems a bit high. Contacting a graphics-intensive web site can cause spikes at over 11000 /sec. All this is happening on a single dial-up line which normally connects at 14.4. port speed is 115200, kernel reports of overflows are very rare (maybe once a month, usually when I'm doing a big make and downloading at the same time). Hardware is Pentium 60 with 32Mb memory and Adaptec 2940 driving the peripherals. The async card is (very) generic. Is anyone else suffering similar sig 10 abends with ppp? Is the interrupt level extraordinary? If so, what can I do - is it a hardware problem? I'm copying this to 'hackers' since I think it's a bit advanced for 'questions'.

The removable disk drive would occasionaly make sickening clunking noises just before the machine crashed (in DOS). The monitor (an 800x600 DSTN) was very dim and wavered nastily. I believe it has now been withdrawn by Sharp (at least it's not advertised any more).

This points to a type problem in the code you are compiling... are they passing aroung file offsets as longs instead of off_t's? If there is an on disk structure containing longs, you will have to coeerce them to off_t to pass them to the system calls. off_t's are 64 bits in BSD, and longs are 32 bits.

I have a Megahertz 28.8 PCMCIA, but I do drive a high-speed wireless modem with it and no problems. I would recommend trying the machine before buying it. Make sure you like the design and whatnot. The only other complaint I have is the thing is flimsy -- the case is a flexible plastic and it lets the screen wiggle and doesn't feel that solid.

I figure, if someone answers, that's a first step; if anything, someone can correct me.

If you're mounting on an already-setup unix box, try using the "lndir" command to make an image in your ftp server. Then symlink /dists/bin to /bin and whatnot. Give your filesystem a workout but you'll get a functioning ftp site. ** CD BURNERS: Please build the next CD so that it is directly ftp-moutable so we can get the CD, mount it on a machine with a CD, and install to a machine without a CDROM. ** Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 26 18:17:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA02928 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 18:17:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts8-line8.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.72]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA02916 for ; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 18:17:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id SAA00505; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 18:17:33 -0800 Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 18:17:33 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: jdiesel@iee.org cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Hard Disk, answers ...

The "probing" is on startup, when the kernel goes through your devices and gets information about them. It does it automatically. Also, the kernel won't probe in -c until you "exit" from it. > However, does anyone know of any problems with these multi I/O cards > causing conflicts and so on?

Shouldn't, as long as they are decently compatible and aren't conflicting with another system device. Whacky hardware is a different story entirely :) Conflicts can ususally be solved by changing the configuration jumpers on the card. I have such a card in this box right now with the ide and floppy controllers disabled, using it as a spare parallel port. That is my guess to your missing sio ports problem.

Unless you have multiple TCP/IP enabled interfaces on your machine, running routed in active mode is a waste of bandwidth, and can cause iijppp to unnecessarily dial out unless you add port 513 to the dial filter rules. My advice to people running a dial up SLIP/PPP link (even if it is semi-permanent or permanent) it not to run routed at all ... all your machine needs is a single default route to the other end of the link, and it'll chug along fine. routed is just a waste of time in such an environment.

I did try whatyou said and i found that the modem did not respond to any AT commandswith tip. The Aptiva has a stupid adapter called the mwave card, which has its bloody own dsp OS, which they have arranged to be downloaded to the mwave card, from DOS and windows. This OS handles not only the modem, but also the CD player. So if i have to get these things working in unix i figured that there must be some way to get unix to load the DSP OS and stuff. Once it is loaded the card emulates Soundblaster soundcard. I talked to the technical rep at IBM and he confirmed my hunch when he said that the modem won't work under Unix (clones of course) or even NT. This is for your information. -Raj > What port did you connect your modem to? What is the status of dmesg: > > # dmesg (run as root) > > This should give you the status of the sio? ports.

He means the ``probe'' command, which used to be in UserConfig, but we found that too many drivers crashed the system when used with the probe command, or didn't recover afterwards and failed to probe during boot, so it was removed.

Currently, I'm the primary mover and shaker in the FreeBSD laptop world, although the BSD Nomad group is Japan is doing most of the coding. I'm mostly doing code review and cleanup, although I have done a slight bit of hacking on the code. I'm hoping to have some patches to 2.1.1 which will enable PC-CARD support, and I'm hoping that APM support will be standard in 2.1.1.

The subject line implies that you have entered stty -echo -nl, emacs which isn't a valid sequence of arguments for stty, but I can't think what you really did. Which shell are you using?

Got It! On these fancy muli-I/O cards (2xserial, 1xparallel, floppy, harddisk, game) there are a string of jumpers (usually J1 to J11) which control the behavior of the card. eg: J1 says activate the HD0, J2 says use the default IRQ14 to HD0, J3 says enable COM1, etc, etc... Well, obviously, under DOS it doesn't really matter what these are jumped to, DOS will take the defaults and use them, it must say to itself "You can only have a hard disk there, so I won't even look at what the user has!". So I went off and bought a new card ($12) (so I could have the instructions) and then changed the necessary jumpers, Hey Presto, suddenly all items were recognised. I think this should be documented in the FAQ, someone want me to write up some details? Something else I came accross, upon installing with the boot floppy: Error: C:0 H:1 S:0 Anyone seen this? I have not seen this documented anywhere, it means you should not run rawrite to create a boot floppy inside a DOS box of Winows 95. Something does not let rawrite complete, and so the complete image is not on the floppy. Once again, many thanks to you all.

This port I'm releasing uses Green threads and is robust enough to recompile itself correctly. Installation ------------ 1. Grab ftp.javasoft.com:JDK-1_0-solaris2-sparc.tar.Z. 2. Grab freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk10.tar.gz. 3. Untar the solaris binary distribution. 4. Move aside bin/ and untar the FreeBSD distribution. 5. Install the pdksh port. Running the JDK --------------- If your JDK directory is rooted at , you need to set 1. your path to include the /bin directory 2. CLASSPATH environment variable to .:/lib/classes.zip 3. LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /lib/i386 Then to compile a java program, invoke 'javac program.java'. To run it, use 'java '. Status ------ This port is kind of flacky and I hesitate to release it, but it does meet my long-stated criteria of being self-hosting. The problems are related to the kludgy work-around I used to get around not having weak symbols and dlsym(RTLD_NEXT). The pthreads port does not have this problem, so the next release may use that instead, but I'm leaning towards fixing up the underlying operating system rather than working around it. The next release will come when I get appletviewer to work. How you can help ---------------- We could use a full-featured dlsym() which understands RTLD_NEXT. Weak symbols would help a lot too. There are people already working on the linker, so please coordinate with them if you decide to go work on this. -- --+=[ Blueberry Hill Blueberry Design ]=+-- --+=[ http://www.blueberry.co.uk/ 1/9 Chelsea Harbour Design Centre, ]=+-- --+=[ WebMaster@blueberry.co.uk London, England, SW10 0XE ]=+-- --+=[ Nik Clayton is a wholly owned subsidiary of the NatWest Bank. ]ENTP From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 27 03:11:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id DAA19780 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 03:11:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from hda.com ([199.232.245.49]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id DAA19774 for ; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 03:10:59 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dufault@localhost) by hda.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id GAA05018; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 06:01:15 -0500 From: Peter Dufault Message-Id: <199603271101.GAA05018@hda.com> Subject: Re: CDR support?

I have a mainly PCI system, with a (new) IDE HD as drive 1 (for MS-DOS) (Yeah I do need it :)), and a SCSI HD as drive 2 (for BSD). Now, I can install BSD onto the IDE(1) from the SCSI(2)(As DOS). - Installing a boot manager - allows me to boot into FreeBSD fine (drive 1), but when I try to boot into DOS (drive 2) - I get the message "operating system not found" - yet I can still access that HD through BSS's mount_msdos, and if I use a DOS boot disk, I can boot into the 2nd drive (SCSI). To install BSD onto drive 2(SCSI), and using drive 1(IDE) for DOS,I had to use Floppies, because when I tried to install from the IDE to SCSI, it wasnt able to find the required files (even though I had them in the correct directories). It looks to me like some sort of conflict between BSD and me trying to use 2 non-similar HD's (ie. IDE and SCSI). Or even more likely (you will have to tell me as I dont know - Im just guessing) - DOS doesnt like booting off of a drive other than the first one, and BSD is the same? I cant afford another SCSI which is the reason for the IDE for DOS. I have checked and there is no fault with the HD's themselves... Thankyou for any help/insight you may provide - I have spent 4 days on this, trying to install BSD in every combination I can think of, read all the documents I could find - including the FAQ... Thanks again for any help.

Even if its running 1E firmware. I'm curious in what way you feel it's broken. I haven't set mine up under FreeBSD yet, but I've never had a problem like this under Win95. That would tend to indicate to me that either only some BitSURFRs are broken (not mine), or the hardware works and it's a software (FreeBSD ppp) problem. Or am I missing something here?

We are in the process of testing some pentium notebooks with FreeBSD 2.1 and XFree86 ( off the 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek ). In the past couple of days, we've tested the Olivetti Echos 90P model with 8MB of RAM, 10.4" color TFT display and 810MB disk. After a problem-free FreeBSD installation, I configured the X server and are now running the SVGA server at 640x480x256. The server reports Chips & Technologies 65545 PCI video chipsets for this machine. I'm using an external serial mouse. I have not tested the glidepoint mouse yet. The machine have been running repetitive kernel compiles while running X and "ico" + assorted xterm sessions for some hours now :-) ( i.e. swapping all the time ). A very nice machine for FreeBSD (the hw revision I got, at least)! I'm planning to test the Texas Instruments 5000 series machines more, probably after easter. I've just verified that FreeBSD 2.1 runs, but have no experience with XFree86 as of now. I do expect some problem as these machies use a newer video chip from Cirrus Logic, the GD7542 (compatible with older CL chipsets? ... anyone ?) Hope this info can be of use for selecting portable machines for FreeBSD.

Right-click on the Dial-up Networking icon for your ISDN connection and select properties. Click the Configure button to bring up the BitSURFR properties window. Under the Connection tab, click the Advanced button. In that window, there is a box where you can enter the init string that is used before dialing. To use mlppp, enter: at&f1%a4=1 That should do it, but double-check in your manual since I'm just remembering this off the top of my head. It might be %a4=2, but I'm not sure. When you double-click the Dial-up Networking icon to start the connection, you'll need to manually edit the phone number. You need to specify a number for each channel, but Win95 doesn't let you do this in the Dialing Properties. The BitSURFR expects a dialing string like: atdt5551234&5551235 So before you start dialing, edit the displayed number to read: 5551234&5551235 If the place you are calling uses automatic rollover of the lines, so you only have one phone number to call, you can use the same number twice: 5551234&5551234 > Is the tcp extensions stuff supported by the bitsurfr mlppp? And what > about the Van Jacobson compression? I disabled and enabled them without > any change in behaviour. I think these are a software issue between the computers on each end of the connection. The BitSURFR shouldn't care about the details of the data it's transmitting. In that regard, it's no different than a modem.

Or am I missing something here? Well, I've had no trouble getting ADTRAN TAs to work (a far superior product to the BitSurfr, which is why I never gave the Motos a second look) with FreeBSD. There's also the fact that your TA actually drops the connection, and this does _not_ point at FreeBSD. The TA should keep the connection up regardless of what kind of data you're sending down it, and if it chokes up and drops your connection then this really does point the finger squarely in its direction. I'd try this with another pair of TAs from another manufacturer if you're serious about testing it.

One thing I've done is setting modem at -right- speed. My ZyXEL Elite V34 had strange factory settings: fix DTE speed at 9600! But before I've solved this problem I got mgetty+senfax from ftp.leo.org. I think it's a very usefull packages. I only told him to receive calls at 115200 and it was done automatically without reprogramming modem's NVRAM.

They seem to have a broken web page in the US at "yamaha.com". The web page is contactable, but it is very low bandwidth. It's on WestNet, so that's kind of expected. It's a Blivit (10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound sack), so it's tiresome to use. There is a feeback email address of (assuming you wait for it to display) of info@yamaha.com. The CDE100 isn't anywhere on their web pages (neither are their motorcylcles or snowmobiles, for that matter).

I am setting up FreeBSD Version 2.1 to be a web server running APACHE. To provide NFS services from our Windows NT systems we have purchased InterDriveNT from FTP software. The InterDrive client connects fine to our SCO UNIX system, but refuses to connect to the FreeBSD system - giving an "incorrect password" error. We are using mountd -n and have the pcnfsd daemon running. The exports file is as follows: / -alldirs nts1 medusa # medusa is the Win NT system The system is running with an SMC Ethernet adapter which works fine and automounts a file system from the SCO UNIX system. (We could not get a DEC 10/100 Adapter to work even though it is listed as a supported adapter). We have also had little success getting X-Windows to run properly. It comes up with a graphics screen and a mouse pointer but is otherwise blank) Anyway, the biggest problem is the InterDrive NFS Client.

Experience. There was a time when I was willing to actually track down the actual bugs in the BSPros and 3COM Impacts. Me and others in fact did track down a few and report them to the appropriate authorities. I've gotten tired and fixing their products for them though. Now all I do is check if they work and report Go, No Go. However, given both companies are close to releasing new versions of their products it isn't really worth spending time on the current ones. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 27 13:31:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA29743 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 13:31:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail-relay-2.mv.us.adobe.com (mail-relay-2.adobe.com [130.248.1.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA29733 for ; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 13:31:54 -0800 (PST) Received: by mail-relay-2.mv.us.adobe.com; id NAA10026; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 13:31:23 -0800 Received: by elroy.mv.us.adobe.com; id NAA28280; Wed, 27 Mar 1996 13:31:22 -0800 Received: from purgatorio.mv.us.adobe.com ([130.248.62.120]) by fire.mv.us.adobe.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA02893; Wed, 27 Mar 96 13:24:17 PST Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960327213121.00695d80@elroy> X-Sender: rlevenbe@elroy X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 27 Mar 1996 13:31:21 -0800 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Richard Levenberg Subject: 3c509 patches for multicasting Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi.

I installed it, and then proceeded to try to install WP for SCO UNIX on it. After I had tarred the first disk to my hard drive, and tried to run the installation program, if informed me that I was not a super-user. I tried everything to become a super-user. It will not let me su from any account other than root, claiming that I am not in the proper user group to su. Even when I log in under root, I am still not recognized as a super-user. When I tried to run kdb_edit to fix this problem, it says the command is not found. I am running a 486 DX-66MHz computer with a 3.5" floppy, a 5.25" floppy, a Colorado Jumbo 250 tape drive, a Pinnacle RCD-5040 CD-R, a Chinon CD-ROM drive, and have 16MB of RAM. I also have a Sound Blaster AWE32, a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM video card, and an adaptec 1535 host adapter card to run my SCSI devices(CD-R and CD-ROM). If you could provide me with any help at all I would be greatly gratified.

If yes, we > plan to buy dozens of it. AFAIK, not by 2.1R. The only real reason for buying a PCI ethernet card is speed. The NE2000 interface model is not a speedy one. If you want lots of cheap ethernet cards, buy cheap ISA ethernet cards. If you want lots of high-performance ethernet cards, buy decent PCI ethernet cards. Anything based on the Digital DC2404x (except Compex) is a good buy, or the new Intel PCI cards are good choices. The latter would require you to upgrade to -stable, which would be a good idea anyway. > Yen-Wei Liu -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

If so, just run the normal installation procedure from the boot.flp disk, using the fdisk section to allocate all of the second disk to FreeBSD. FreeBSD 2.1 doesn't seem to like installing to a second IDE drive - I had problems and I know others also had. I had a combination of my boot manager being trashed and my reinstalled boot manager not seeing FreeBSD. What I eventually did was install a small root partition on my first drive and the rest on the second, but looking back there are probably other ways.. Make sure you tell the installation to install the boot manager on both disks.. >also have a PS/2 mouse. Do I need to recompile the kernel to get it to >work? Probably, yes. >To boot freebsd, do I have to boot from the 1st drive or can I boot from >a floppy? If I can boot from a floppy into freebsd, how do I create the >boot floppy. I haven't found a way to directly do this yet, but you can boot bsd without the boot manager.. There is a file on the CD & in the FTP sites called fbsdboot.exe.uu. This will boot FreeBSD when run from DOS. Download it, uudecode it and put it on your DOS drive. Make a bootable DOS floppy and boot DOS from that. Run fbsdboot.exe and hey presto you have bsd running. I'm suggesting booting from a DOS floppy because some of your regular DOS startup items may pevent it from working.. >I don't mind booting from my 1st disk as long as this wont >corrupt my first disk and the DOS operating system on it.

The most important thing is to make backups - the whole of your existing filesystem if you can - you can never guarantee that something won't go wrong... The DOS utility FDISK will make a backup of your original boot sector when you change it, as will most programs that change the boot sector. Before you install, make a bootable DOS floppy with FDISK and a copy of your original boot sector on it. If things go wrong, you can boot from this and restore your old boot. A good source of information apart from the handbook and FAQ (which do have large holes) is the questions archive - http://www.freebsd.org/search.html. That's where I got most of the info to help me through my installation problems.

Many people here have helped a lot, but another 'issue' decided to arise . The first time make world failed, it was right towards the beginning (within 3 minutes of starting). Apparently I needed to re-sup the gnu stuff. Then I started make world again at 7:30am yesterday. It ran great until 4:45pm, when it stopped with a lot of messages, the last few of which were: /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c: 579: structure has no member named 'fw_tcpnf' /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c: In function 'ipfw_main' /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c: 636: 'IP_FW_ZERO' undeclared (first use this function) Error code 1 Question #1 - what do I need to do to fix this? Question #2 - This is the first make world from 2.1R to 2.1Stable, is there any way to have the make world start hereabouts so it doesn't have to run all over again for hours on end? I think it was almost finished. Or, if I fix problem above will make world automagically notice that most was already done? Can users be logged in now and/or while the make world runs? Question #3 - I noticed a few warnings during the make world (something about implicit redeclaration). Is that normal? Thanks VERY much in advance...

A better solution than this is a program called sudo... it allows you to run a command as root from your login.. it is highly configurable. If password security is not that much of a concern... you might also look at runas .. it does more of less the same thig but you won't need to enter a password to run a command. - branson -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | branson@widomaker.com Ferguson SysAdmin | http://widomaker.com/~branson From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 28 06:33:42 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA01624 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 28 Mar 1996 06:33:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from server2.rad.net.id (root@server2.rad.net.id [202.154.1.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA01617 for ; Thu, 28 Mar 1996 06:33:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from komodo.iwan (dyn1144a.dialin.rad.net.id [202.154.6.144]) by server2.rad.net.id (8.7.5/RADNET) with SMTP id VAA26471 for ; Thu, 28 Mar 1996 21:34:47 +0700 (WIB) Message-ID: <315AA4D3.5C82@rad.net.id> Date: Thu, 28 Mar 1996 21:40:19 +0700 From: Iwan Leonardus Organization: SKD X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: support Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, My FreeBSD cdrom just arrived and I have installed it, until now I have some questions: I am new to unix but have experience a SCO quite a little, but never in BSD.

What is the email address for asking such support questions, I think this questions@FreeBSD.ORG only for general questions (or it is not? please tell me) I am very interested with this FreeBSD, I hope this software can be more popular in the future like linux. I myself is a DOS c programmer, but DOS is not designed to run several programs act as server. So when I can feel at home with this OS I hope I can use it for my developing platform for more commercial applications. I want to try this becouse they said it is stable.

Many people here have helped a lot, but another 'issue' decided to arise . The first time make world failed, it was right towards the beginning (within 3 minutes of starting). Apparently I needed to re-sup the gnu stuff. Then I started make world again at 7:30am yesterday. It ran great until 4:45pm, when it stopped with a lot of messages, the last few of which were: /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c: 579: structure has no member named 'fw_tcpnf' /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c: In function 'ipfw_main' /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c: 636: 'IP_FW_ZERO' undeclared (first use this function) Error code 1 Question #1 - what do I need to do to fix this? Question #2 - This is the first make world from 2.1R to 2.1Stable, is there any way to have the make world start hereabouts so it doesn't have to run all over again for hours on end? I think it was almost finished. Or, if I fix problem above will make world automagically notice that most was already done? Can users be logged in now and/or while the make world runs? Question #3 - I noticed a few warnings during the make world (something about implicit redeclaration). Is that normal? Thanks VERY much in advance...

Schwertfeger" To: questions Subject: Triton EIDE interface support Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm currently running 2.1R on a triton based motherboard. I'm in the process of converting over from Linux on this machine, and I was curious. In linux, using hdparm, I can enable multi-sector transfers and 32 bit transfers on my primary hard drive, which considerably increases the drives performance (I'm not running the 1.3.X tree yet, so I don't know what effect the triton DMA interface would have on the feel of the system). I plan on compiling some benchmarks tonight to find out where my performance is under FreeBSD, but I don't have similar numbers for Linux. So, between 2.1R, stable, and current, how much support for these features are in FreeBSD? Details: (irrelevant unless you want to know why I'm asking) My machine is a P100, 16M EDO ram, 256K burst cache, currently with both an ST5850A and an ST32140 on it. I'm switching from Linux to FreeBSD, because PPP on linux has been hanging, and in my FreeBSD tests, it never hung (though it did hang up a few times when I thought I had the timeouts disabled). Anyway, linux has a hdparam program which has the ability to benchmark the sequential throughput of a device (bypasses the file system) reading a large (32M?) portion of the hard drive. It also lets you tune things like turning on multisector transfers, 32 bit transfers, and in the case of the triton chipset and 1.3.X kernels, DMA transfers. The ST5850A as master benchmarked at about 5M/sec at the start of the disk, in both single sector, 16 bit transfers, and multisector 32 bit transfers. the ST32140 as slave benchmarked at about 2.5M/sec single/16, and over 5M/sec multi/32. I *WANT* that performance, and will become a kernel hacker if necessary. My wife's ST5850A died, so I have to loan her mine (yes, I love the ST5850A. 5400 RPM and runs like it. Got one at work too). When it gets back, I plan on puting my swap on it, and the rest will be low access files (ports/src?).

Do you mean the system won't let you run as root even after you log in, or do you mean that the WP installation program doesn't think you're root? > When I tried to run > kdb_edit to fix this problem, it says the command > is not found. You may have your paths mixed up. kdb_edit should be in /usr/sbin; if you have come from an SCO background, you probably won't have this directory in your root PATH. Are you running Kerberos? Otherwise you don't need to mess with kdb_edit. If you are running Kerberos, I'd suggest that you stop it and see if that makes things any happier. > I am running a 486 DX-66MHz computer > with a 3.5" floppy, a 5.25" floppy, a Colorado > Jumbo 250 tape drive, a Pinnacle RCD-5040 CD-R, a > Chinon CD-ROM drive, and have 16MB of RAM.

I have a PCI bus 100Mhz Pentium with a ATI graphics Expression video card. The first trouble encountered is that I had to dissable all my serial ports to keep the boot from messing with the video card. I am aware that the ATI card uses com4, but attempts to probe any com port causes the video adapter to display a 'melting snow' pattern and then go blank. ( this happens @ boot time ). Once I dissabled all serial ports, it will at least boot, but all attempts to run startx fail in various forms. If I try to use the mach64 Xserver, my screen goes blank ( after running startx and all attempts to abort fail even CTR ALT BSP ). My question is: Is there a patch available for the ATI Graphics Expression card? if so, will it support a very new version of the card? ( I unserstand that ATI recently changed the chip on the card ) Secondly: If buying a different video card is the best alternative, what kind of card would give me the best support running on FreeBSD and WindowsNT? Any suggestions / comments would be appreciated.

Of course. And all my programs are written this well. :) But it's possible for processes to die from external causes, even if it's something as simple as a super-user making a typo in a kill command. It would seem to make sense to have some way of automatically recovering from something like this. Are you saying that it's not possible in BSD?

I don't think there is a better way of doing this, because it's pretty simple. Remote access to a tape ,as with tar, is a special case. It's more efficient than tar'ing to stdout and pipig it into a remote dd to the device. cheers, Adrian System Administrator for the NVL, NIIMS and Telemedicine labs adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Therefore when I read from the Internet that a Unix like system can be setup on a PC, I immediately ordered the FreeBSD. I have had it for about a week now and have been reading and re-reading the instructions and I am still scared to attempt installation again. The first time I tried I could not use my midi system attached to my PC. But fortunately when I turned the PC off/on it worked again. I personally think the documentation tries to cover too many things that it gets very confusing. I would suggest that maybe it will be a good idea to present ' Question and Answer' which guides the novice to an area of the document where the installation instructions apply specifically to their needs. For example, 1. Which PC do you have? If 386Dx, 486 or Pentium then read on. If 386Sx then you cannot use FreeBSD. 2. How much HD space left? Less than 50MBytes-Goto chpt 5 sect4.4 Less than 100Mbytes- Goto chpt. 3. Chpt 5 sect4.4 ...Partition disk using FIPS etc. Anyway my system is 386DX 40Mhz, 8Mbytes RAM 125Mbytes HD(Drive C:), 175Mbytes HD(Drive D:) both Seagate and Creative CDROM drive(Drive E:) CR-563 and Panasonic setting on the Sound Card. I have run Defrag and the space left on drive D is 90Mbytes.I have MS DoubleSpace and MagnaRam2. If I try to use FIPS from e:\tools, the message I get is: CDR101:Not ready, reading drive E Abort, Retry, Fail? Your help will be very much appreciated. My FreeBSD is by Walnut Creek CDROM.

I don't mean to be a pain here, but I really don't understand the insistence that this is purely a hardware problem. The second half of his sentence above (which you didn't quote) points out that the same hardware works correctly under Win95. I'm not suggesting that it's entirely FreeBSD's problem, since other TA's work correctly. I'm just surprised at the attitude that it's all Motorola's fault.

The 'flags' field in the kernel config (you can frob this while booting by supplying the -c flag at the boot: prompt) controls these features.

As you may be aware, fastWEB (Financial Aid Search Through the WEB) began in June 1995, and has since become an "overnight sensation". This year approximately 10,000 students per day are accessing fastWEB; and it is growing fast. Each student user has his/her own private mailbox housed on our system. The best place for you to advertise would be directly in a student mailbox. As a student reads his mailbox contents, he will see a page that has your advertising banner located on the top of the page. Within this banner (which is as wide as the screen), there will be room for three lines of text and a graphic. It is now the advertiser's job to attract the student with the above banner. If successful, the student will hyperlink to the advertiser's site for more information and possibly place an order. If your advertising banner was in our system for the week of 3/14 to 3/20, your message would have been seen by 50,146 visitors. If only 10% of that number clicks on your banner, you are looking at 5,014 potential customers. I say let's give it a free 1 week try. I'll track the views and the hits on your banner and send you a report. If everything looks good, we can have you out there for April and beyond. American Express and American Collegiate Marketing are enjoying success with their banners, with AMEX signing up 20% of all vistors clicking to their site. Sincerely, STUDENT SERVICES, INC.

And the user process PPPD Written by Toshiharu Ohno will not start with this hosts file. And my simple pppd/chat login to my isp scripts fails miserably, I call up and can't even ping my provider. So the default /etc/hosts dosn't work.. I was told how to fix this problem to edit my hosts file to look like this. 127.0.0.1 localhost zeid.conline.com At which point the bootup process works, it boots up normally, and the user process pppd by Ohno actually starts and works great. And my pppd/chat login script works great. But when I start my Apache 1.0.3 server and then start Netscape v2.0 and try to http://zeid.conline.com to look at my own web page it tells me cannot find "zeid.conline.com" :( I have to http:// to my own ip address which changes every time I dial in. Also when I try to run Satan-1.1.1, I always get the error cannot find localhost:1026 and I know it's the /etc/host file thats screwing things up. But atleast I can connect to the Internet 2 different ways, with the user-mode ppp, and the kernel pppd. I e-mailed Wietse Venema to ask him if he had a quick fix for the "cannot find localhost:1026" error satan give's me, and this is what he said of my "hosts" file thats works, "Such a setup makes sense only for a machine that is not attached to a network". hehe Does anybody have any idea's ??

Well, things have settled down now - this has been the upgrade from hell. Everything went wrong! One of my old hard-disks started playing up and acting flaky and has been removed, this was at least one of the problems. The new harddisk I purchased had problems (soft & hard errors reading) and has now been replaced. My old 30 pin SIMMs (via 30->72 pin converters) have been replaced with new 72 pin SIMMs. Finally the BIOS settings have been changed to run the PCI bus at 20 MHz instead of 40 Mhz. Now I have a system which runs FreeBSD reliably. I have tried to push the machine over (heavy compilation under X with lots of network traffic) and it seems to be running fine. BUT if I run DOS and use it to play games (why else?) I have seen some strange things. IndycarII runs pretty well but occasionaly it crashes with a 'Page Fault'. Upon rebooting to FreeBSD I usually get a hung system when the 'routed' daemon starts up, occasionally the system waits until 'Clearing /tmp' before hanging, and once or twice it has booted, started X and then crashed after about 30 seconds. The kernel panic in this case was a page fault. This is repeatable, a cold-start doesn't help either. The only thing that seems to help is to leave the machine powered down for several minutes before making a cold start. Any ideas? What kind of problem could live through a cold-start?

As I mentioned before, don't go with Compex. If you're building a server, then spending a little more money on an SMC card is worth it for the certainty that you'll get a card that works. > Yen-Wei Liu -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

BSD is Berkeley Software Distribution. Berkeley got a copy of Unix from AT&T. Made improvements, like the C-shell, the vi editor and TCP/IP networking (the protocols that run the Internet) and made the code freely redistributable to any one that had a license from AT&T. Since that time, FreeBSD has replaced all portions of the code that AT&T claimed as theirs (requiring an AT&T license). Now all the code is available to you in either source or pre-compiled form. FreeBSD supports the X Window graphical enviroment andr over 350 add-on software packages. All of this is Free!

If I try to use FIPS from e:\tools, the message I get is: > CDR101:Not ready, reading drive E > Abort, Retry, Fail? Hm. My guess is that you need to read the usage instructions for FIPS, which should be included on the CDROM, or in FIPS's distribution zipfile in \tools\dist. You should be using it on a clean-boot floppy, not directly from the CDROM or on an active disk (especially one using DoubleSpace). One other note: Be aware of the can of worms you are opening...FreeBSD requires time and energy and lots of TLC to get going. It's not as easy as DOS, where you can install-and-go. 90MB is going to be a tight installation.

I wonder if the problem lies in the fact that Win95 doesn't properly implement the protocol, the BS in turn, was designed to "work" with Win95, and as a result it doesn't work with a "proper" implementation. Another possibility is that FreeBSD can drive the hardware much harder than Win95 can and as a result timing problems in the BS's software are coming to light.

We see this when memory runs out, when you try to install into a 4mb system. Have you tried turning on debug and hopping over to the debug console on ALT-F2? I wonder if something else is failing, and the panic is the end of the chain reaction.

The HP series have a warped view of the world (thanks to Microsoft) and need CR/LF combinations to work properly, which of course you don't get under UN*X-like OS's. The blank pages happen 'cos all the text has scrolled off the right hand side of the page. Try using `apsfilter' (I believe you can find it in ports). I use it with my DeskJet 500 and it works fine, and allows you to print text, PostScript and other formats direct to the printer.

My system has a generic async / floppy / IDE card (with IDE disabled by jumper). sio0 has my Logitech serial mouse attached, and si01 is connected to the modem. Running systat -vmstat with ppp unconnected I see the following sorts of numbers for interrupts Interrupts 264 total 100 clk0 irq0 128 rtc0 irq8 fdc0 irq6 sc0 irq1 36 sio0 irq4 sio1 irq3 ed0 irq5 I am running X, so some activity on sio0 is expected. Now, when I repeat the systat -vmstat, while ppp is connected and I'm downloading a file, I see this... Interrupts 4658 total 100 clk0 irq0 128 rtc0 irq8 fdc0 irq6 sc0 irq1 4312 sio0 irq4 118 sio1 irq3 ed0 irq5 The interrupts for sio1 (with the modem busy) seems sensible, but what has happened to my mouse? If the link goes quiet, the mouse port interrupts die away, but even pinging my ISP will put the number up to 800 per sec. There doesn't appear to be anything crazy in my setup, does anyone know what might cause this? - Bogus hardware?

You are in the right spot for email help, I think. Try getting the available list of lists from majordomo@freebsd.org (I don't remember the command; send "help" in the body by itself to get a help listing).

Hmmmm.... Linux Netscape works quite well for me, and I'm running a -stable system dated March 16th. Java apps and all work well. Is there some fundamental reason why it shouldn't work? The only problem that I've had with it is that any time I close a Java applet that runs in its _own_ window, Netscape itself exits with a signal 7, 10, or 11.

However, the driver insists on putting the card in 100BaseTX mode which doesn't work very well. If the card is not plugged into the network, it is put into 100Mbit mode at boot time (the "100" LED comes on and the driver prints "enabling 100baseTX UTP port"). If it is plugged into a 10BaseT hub at boot time, the "100" LED doesn't come on until the machine tries to transmit (or maybe when the iface is ifconfig'd--I'm not sure). I gather from reading the source that I can force 10Mb or 100Mb mode via "ifconfig de0 altphys" but that didn't help when running sysinstall...

No joy, as of course anon ftp does a chroot to /usr/ftp and then /cdrom no longer exists. Ho hum. Tell install to use my name and password, but it does not appear to work. Is it supposed to? I wasted lots of time juggling things around before I realized this, then went back to anon FTP after having mounted the cd on /usr/pub/cdrom and done a lndir ../../../cdrom/dists . and voila! everything worked.

Announcing and seeing them work "on the street" are two seperate things. Writing an driver to support the driver will be the realitively easy part of the ATM support problem. We will also need the support for creating/destroy the Permanent Virtual Circuits and Switched Virtual Circuits, the interface API, the LAN Emulation (ATM standard) or the IETF TCP-over-ATM support, end-node's responsibility of Flow control which depends on which UNI we support. Be very careful in purchasing an ATM card. Does it work with your switch, which UNI, AAL, media does it support, etc. Also, does the card re-assemble the AAL5 packets before sending it to the OS (I am told this make a BIG performanace difference). There are several people at various stage of working on ATM on FreeBSD. I would like to get a common base of standard that we can aim at reaching. The ATM mailling list has just been start and the organizational effort of choosing what we want has really not even begun. --mark.

Ah, now there's an explanation I can accept. With all its overhead, it's unlikely that Windoze pushes the BitSURFR to the max. So maybe it's broken... :) In the interest of solving Samy's problem, which is where this discussion started... Is there something in FreeBSD that he can adjust so that it doesn't push the BitSURFR quite as hard?

That the software it works with is Win95 is incidental, and doesn't change my point. Changing software makes the problem go away, so maybe there's something that can be done to the problem software that will make it work. However, Jordan commented that FreeBSD pushes the BitSURFR harder than Win95. That's probably true, which means the BitSURFR is failing under high load. In other words, it's broken.

Yes, there are a couple of problems in Pine 3.91 where it will hang in a loop and eat CPU. One well-known problem was in pine/ttyin.c, where it would loop and look for incoming data from the terminal. Another of the problems was particularly nasty: pine would set the signal handler for SIGSEGV to SIG_IGN (ignore) as it was preparing to exit, and then a bug (I hadn't taken the time to track down) made pine SIGSEGV over and over... I changed the relevant code in pine/signals.c to never ignore SIGSEGV or SIGTERM. I wasn't using the patches provided in the FreeBSD port of pine 3.91, so maybe those would have solved my SIGSEGV problem. I haven't seen either of these problems in pine 3.92 (just released), but I added my patch back into pine/signals.c just in case :-) I'm not sure if the FreeBSD port/mail/pine patches will apply to 3.92, though. > Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu Guy Helmer, Dakota State University Computing Services - ghelmer@alpha.dsu.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 29 09:31:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA04213 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 09:31:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from digital.netvoyage.net (root@digital.netvoyage.net [205.162.154.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA04206 for ; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 09:31:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (bogawa@localhost) by digital.netvoyage.net (8.6.13/8.6.9) with SMTP id JAA26728 for ; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 09:31:11 -0800 Date: Fri, 29 Mar 1996 09:31:11 -0800 (PST) From: Bryan Ogawa at Work To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Weird netstat data on a 2.0.5R machine: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm getting a lot of these Bad address errors when doing netstats.

I want to get SLIP/PPP access on my FreeBSD machine by running SLiRP (a SLIP/PPP emulator) on a remote machine. I've tried doing it like normal SLIP/PPP (which works fine under OS/2) but whenever I get it running, it doesn't work. "telnet" times out when trying to connect to a remote machine, and "netstat -r" just prints information about the active interfaces and then just sits there. If there is a document explaining how to use SLiRP with FreeBSD's SLIP/PPP, please point me to it.

I got the WC 2.1 distribution to do some experiments with firewall configs. As yet though I can't even get the OS running. Linux has run well on this box, but I would prefer FreeBSD for running firewall tools. I have searched just about everything in doco/lists on the FreeBSD site I could for an answer to this one and have had no luck. During sysinstall while copying files in the /bin directory the boot image will call a panic for an "unknown/reserved trap", sync disks with 1 or 84, and reboot. This has occurred on every install try. Machine config: 486 DX2/66 PVI-486SP3 Mother Board - 3 PCI/1 VLB/3 ISA On-board IDE controller - 2 serial UART/1 parallel TEAC FD-235 1.44 Floppy Seagate 420 MB ST349 GEO:899/15/62 Hercules Dynamite VL Pro V8.00 3Com Etherlink III/TP Adaptec 1522A SCSI controller NEC 6xe CD ROM My first try was to do an install from a DOS partition. I copied the bindist files to the HD from a parallel attached CD-ROM and ran sysinstall from the floppy image. The panic and subsequent reboot occurred. Next I added the SCSI controller and CD-ROM and tried installing from CD. Same result. Next I changed the disk geometry to reflect the difference between the DOS partition and the BSD partition and installed from both the DOS partition and the CD. Same result. Finally, I made the whole disk BSD and installed from CD. Same result. What am I missing here? Should disk geometry be different? Is there a known flaky component in my config?

He > asked me if there were any virus checkers for FreeBSD? I haven't heard of > anything here on questions. The good news is that viruses aren't a problem in the Unix world. The bad news is that there are other things to worry about. The reason viruses are such a problem in the PC/Mac world is that DOS and MacOS have no concept of users: every program can potentially grab control of the machine and do whatever it likes. Under Unix, users are protected from each other: if the system is working properly, and permissions on my files are set up correctly, nothing you (as an ordinary user) do will allow you to overwrite my files, or trash the disk, or whatever. If you're still worried about viruses, you can always grab a copy of Tripwire, or something similar. In any case, there's not much incentive to write Unix viruses, in the same sense that there's not much incentive to break into Fort Knox and spray-paint graffiti on the walls: once you're in, there are much more interesting things you can do. Generally speaking, cracking a Unix box usually involves gaining illegal access to an account on the target machine, preferably root. If you manage to crack root, you can do anything you like: steal files, leapfrog to other machines (e.g., to get through a firewall, or to cover your tracks), steal other accounts, get free computer time, etc. If you trash the boot disk, or something equally destructive, you'll only draw attention to yourself, and encourage the owner of the target machine to tighten security in the future. If you lie low, you might be able to use the machine for ages. Of course, there are other issues, such as denial-of-service attacks, but I've rambled long enough already. And remember: "hacker" is to "cracker" as "artist" is to "forger". -- Andrew Arensburger, Systems guy Center for Automation Research arensb@cfar.umd.edu University of Maryland Cthulhu awakens in 24 hours.

This book covers the basics, as well as TCP/IP, DNS, NFS, SLIP/PPP, sendmail, INN/NNTP, printing, etc.. It's expensive (approx. US$45-$55), but worth it. It also includes a CDROM with the sources for various tools; most of these, however, are also on the FreeBSD 2.1.0R CDROM (and the FreeBSD CDROM often has newer versions).

It's theoretically possible, I suppose, but just about everything in FreeBSD goes out of its way to do just the opposite, so you'd have to really break the code's fingers and chain its legs together in a whole bunch of ways. Sounds like a most disgusting exercise to me, and quite a waste to boot.

Nope. I tried it a couple of days ago, and it's not a drop-in replacement for the pine port.

After spending two weeks trying everything, I noted that the server no one complained about was on subnet A, while the 2 in trouble were on subnet B. Two of my annex terminal servers for PPP are on that subnet B. So I grabbed one of the screaming meemies, and I forced him onto a subnet B term server, and true enough, he could not get pages from the subnet B web servers (He got the text - but left alone it timed out and he got some kind of bad socket error). But while on the subnet B term server he could retrieve pages, graphics and all from the subnet A server. (note that webservs on subnet A and B are as identicle as I could get them in apache and kernel configs as well as hardware - the user uses trumpet - but then so do I and I have no problem). Then I got him to log into a term server on subnet C - and violins! er I mean viola', he could retrieve pages & graphics from servers on both A and B. So now this makes me think that if the packets go thru my cisco router they some how get cleaned up acceptably to the annex and this end user (this also happens to my lead tech support person), whereas if they dont go thru the router there is trouble. So one would think to turn off the tcp_extensions - BUT THEY ARE. I put NO in sysconfig and I see at boot that it issues the sysctl on those RPC variables. Is there something else one must do to turn off extensions? Im going to count my blessing and either move 2 term servers or two web servers to a new subnet - but I really wwould like to know why the heck this is happening. Any insight, or guesses appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 29 11:36:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA14709 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 11:36:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from itsdsv1.enc.edu (itsdsv1.enc.edu [199.93.252.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA14699 for ; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 11:36:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from dingo.enc.edu (dingo.enc.edu [199.93.252.229]) by itsdsv1.enc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id OAA19206; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 14:35:03 -0500 Date: Fri, 29 Mar 1996 14:35:43 -0500 (EST) From: owensc To: Guy Helmer cc: questions list FreeBSD Subject: Re: orphaned proccess hogging CPU (e.g. pine) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 29 Mar 1996, Guy Helmer wrote: > On Fri, 29 Mar 1996, owensc wrote: > > Is this CPU-chewing a result of a programming boo-boo in Pine itself?

I've run it (quick tests ONLY -- we use NCSA 1.5, which I'm running now on our 2.0.5R machine) with few problems (actually, fewer problems w/ Apache than NCSA). The only reason I'm still running NCSA is due to minor incompatibilities between them (and we're kinda planning on switching everything all at once). One thing that I read somewhere (on this list, perhaps) is that setting : DNSMode Minimum in your httpd.conf will help. What it does is stop reverse DNS lookups on IP to find the hosts that are hitting you. So, your access_log only has IPs, which may be irritating if you're trying to do analysis. This can be overcome with a little perl script. I dunno if I can distribute my version to do the lookups and rewrite the access_log (this is at work), but it's really easy, so I'll: (a) describe the algorithm briefly and (b) offer to rewrite it at home (email bkogawa@netvoyage.net to remind me). The basic algorithm: for each line in the access_log: strip out the IP look it up. If you can find it, rewrite the line with the name. :) One trick is that you can use is an associative array to cache the lookups. This can lower it to one ns request per IP, at the cost of memory. This is how I was doing it when I was testing my software, but I suspect performance could get really horrible if the logs were too big and memory ran out. bryan > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > Bryan K.

The driver disk that came with the card's 3c509cfg utility doesn't have any option for PNP, and when I downloaded a new copy (3c5x9cfg) from their www site, it doesn't seem to have any effect on anything. The card still behaves EXACTLY the same, whether PNP is supposedly enabled or disabled. I just set up a new machine (a 486DX2/80) and tried installing the 3c in it. It did the same thing as in the 150. It doesn't find it. I also tried putting it in the machine in the den... again, Windows95 doesn't find an IRQ, and when I took the hard drive from hobbes (the /80) into the den, FreeBSD doesn't find ep0. Now, does this card really have PNP, and the software is just not disabling it? Why did it work in the Pentium 120 just fine? I'm really confused on this one. Later......

Instead, the drive appears as several drives on the same ID but different LUNs.

The usual reply is "1. Check the hardware specs of the notebook. 2. Check the list of supported hardware of a) *BSD, b) XFree86, and c) whatsoever" mostly followed by a statement like "the driver for *** is in current development". It might be of help for the people who are asking for advice but in the long run it is somewhat disappointing for those watching what is going on. Additionally, twice a year, the manufactures put new models on the market. Thus, who could keep up? In my opinion it would be nice to have a list of "successful installations" telling who runs which *BSD and which applications on which brand and model of notebook and what he/she did to make it work. Although I am short of time and surely do lack some expertise I would volunteer for compiling and posting such a list on a regular basis if we could develop and agree on a form asking the relevant questions which the notebook owners simply could fill in.

The only downside to that is that you'll suffer a pretty hefty performance penalty. Yes, the odds are .. somewhat good that named will cache the successful hits, but you're still stuck using the networking interface to do lookups (read: slow as hell) instead of reading them from local memory (infinitely faster. :) and you lose the benefit of being able to 'flag' unlookupable addresses quickly and efficiently so you don't do multiple unsuccessful queries - the real bogdown. Just make sure you've got enough memory in the beast.

I have tried using something like "adduser -batch webmaster users 'Web Master' password" and got a cannot chown message during execution. But the adduser program added a entry in /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd correctly. The default home directory /home/webmaster also created correctly but with owner root. When tried to chown owner of /home/webmaster to webmaster I got the same cannot chown message or some other invalid user name message. Thanks.

My problem is with Linux compatiblity. I can get it working fine when I compile options "LINUX" into my kernel, but I can't get it (linux compatibility) to work as an lkm. Every time I try it, I get a panic, so I want to get that part fixed. I run -current, and just did a fresh make world. I checked, and a new linux_mod.o is sitting in /lkm. I took the options "LINUX" out of my kernel config' but kept in the options "COMPAT_LINUX". I edited my rc.local at the the end of the file, where it says to add local modifications, adding the line "linux", and a message showed up on boot saying I'd loaded linux compatibility. I checked this with modstat, and it agreed. OK, I went and tried to start the Mathematica X11 Front end, and BAM, instant panic. Recovering, I tried again, this time with a really simple linux executeable the Mathematica uses to ID the machine, called mathid. Same result, instant panic. I'm willing to experiment, anyone got any idea what I did wrong? ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.

The reason there are no FreeNets listed is that the FreeBSD project provides an operating system; it doesn't sell internet access. There is no cost if you FTP it, or a nominal charge if you buy the CDROM from Walnut Creek CDROM or one of its distributors. So the cost to you is nothing or nominal. The cost to your organization are the normal costs associated with running an ordinary UNIX system.

Is this correct? This type of cdrom drive is not exactly new - the Slackware 2.3 Linux distribution I purchased a year ago supported these drive. Is your product really that far behind the times?

After cursing with SCSI bus hangs for the past week or so, I've finally narrowed it down to what Gary told me...its the Conner 1Gig drive that is giving me the problems. Yesterday, I installed a second SCSI controller into the machine, moving the Quantum drives to one, and leaving the Conner drives on the other...the system froze up today, and the Adaptec 1542CF's "LED" was completely off, leaving the NCR controller being locked up. As such, I'm ditching Conner, getting rid of that drive and putting in a Quantum drive. Before I purchase one to replace the Conner...any caveats? Models that are known to have problems? I'm not going for a 7200rpm drive, as I don't need it, and don't like the fact that they run *so* hot. Thanks... Marc G.

And surprise it worked! The only glitch was with ppp renegociating a new IP address each time the second B channel is back from an analog conversation, this result in a hung state and a reboot of the bitsurfr. But I suspect the cisco settings to be probably bogus. The most important is that transfer ata 128k is not a problem with fbsd and a motorola bsp. So the problem was with the livingstone portmaster.

I originally tried doing an 'ldconfig -m ' to make sure my shared libraries were in order, and just to make sure, I rebooted the machine to make a clean start of it. Oh, and I compared my original XF86Config file to the new one that xf86config created. Oh, and I tried using twm instead of olvwm, since twm came with the default distribution, whereas olvwm is something I installed with the old 3.1.2. Still won't start, same error as below: On Sun, 31 Mar 1996, Marc G.

I've submitted a bug report to the XFree team about the problem I was talking about here (if anyone has any suggestions, I will try them though). SuperProbe in 3.1.2D is reporting different information about my video card then 3.1.2 :( SuperProbe v2.8: First video: Super-VGA Chipset: Silicon Integrated Systems (chipset unknown) (PCI Probed) Signature data: 6 (please report) Memory: 0 Kbytes RAMDAC: Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DAC (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode)) Attached graphics coprocessor: Chipset: ATI Mach64 Memory: 4096 Kbytes SuperProbe v2.5: First video: Super-VGA Chipset: ATI 88800GX Memory: 4096 Kbytes RAMDAC: ATI 68860 15/15/24-bit DAC w/pixel-mux (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode)) (programmable for 6/8-bit wide lookup tables) Attached graphics coprocessor: Chipset: ATI Mach64 Memory: 4096 Kbytes Whether this could cause my any problems, I don't know, but so far as I can find, there is nothing else that is different between 3.1.2 and 3.1.2D, in so far as things I can get a report on/change :( Marc G.

I recall seeing something about the Java Developer's Kit being available for FreeBSD. Netscape's "Atlas Navigator" (aka Netscape 3.0) includes Java and JavaScript support in both the Linux and BSD/OS browsers. Both are useable under FreeBSD (the BSD/OS one with less hassle than the Linux one). -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) System and Network Administrator, Internex Online Inc.

Umm, did you get the atapi.flp boot disk or the regular boot.flp one? Marc. -- No terriers were harmed in the manufacture or production of this message.
