I, for one, have never had a problem installing from the 2.1 ATAPI disk... I've done it on an Aptiva, a Compaq, and a Thinkpad -- and Red Hat Linux wouldn't load from the CD on the Thinkpad 365 (Slackware would). I am running SCSI on my main box -- but, from my personal experience, I wouldn't discourage ATAPI cd use. My spare 386 box is soon going to have one of em for FreeBSD development use.

Possibly because you are running lpd and it has the device already opened? You don't need to run PPP or SLIP across a parallel line, the lp driver has it's own encapsulation protocol in the kernel, you just need to ifconfig the interface(s).

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Gentlemen; I am looking at different available version/release control systems for a project that I am working on. I have never used source control, but am aware of the concept and such. I started out with simple RCS; then a month ago I tried a simple instal of CVS on my home system. This weekend I am reading O'Reilly's "RSC & SCCS" which presents TCCS. Back to CVS. Since you folks use that to maintain control over multiple branch, distributed development systems; I thought seeing the way the control files are set up would give me a chance to to evaluate the complexity of managing CVS. My immediate environment is a distributed class interface library. There are 7 developers, 120+ objects (1/directory), 8 capability builds before delivery of release 1.0 on the first of 6 different platforms. My questions have to do with the following: > definition of 'modules' that cross directories. > creation of developer work areas for safe private work. > makefile philosophy that works is the workarea, beta area and production. > release tagging and control. > ... Any help (examples from FreeBSD) would be appreciated. ==================================================== Rip Toren | The bad news is that C++ is not an object-oriented | rpt@miles.sso.loral.com | programming language. ....

I've had NO prior UNIX experience and would also like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all who've helped me get started. I'm accustomed to the DOS / WINDOWS / WINDOWS NT platforms and have used NT as my personal OS since the release of 3.1. I'm interested in trying to port some of the apps I've created to freeBSD. Since day 1 of my programming I've used integrated development environments such as, Borland's IDE and Microsoft's Visual C++. I'm wondering if there's anything similar to these for BSD? What are the preferred methods (environments) of veteran UNIX programmers? Again, thanks to all. This is truly a superb OS!

In order of preference: 1. emacs 2. emacs 3. emacs :-) I don't know if you have X running, but if you do, xemacs has a nice syntax formatting mode (which happens to C programs by default) which is very reminiscent of the Borland IDE syntax formatter. Having said this, I've never really got used to emacs, I still use vi as my editor. I've set up an X environment using 'xfm', 'vi' and 'xxgdb' which gives me 'drag and drop' access to editors, debuggers and 'make'. Although it tends to create a lot of windows, I find it very comfortable.

An ST31200N at id 0 shows fine, the ST32151N I had a similar problem when I had an Adaptec 2940 and a Micropolis 4 gig drive in a machine. Turned out to be the ram--it also exhibited the problem of counting to odd #'s of ram, (on 8 meg boundaries)). I broke open the case and found the two pair of simms where matched with each other's mates. After swapping those around it looks like the problem's are gone.

I can dial-in and establish a ppp connection or terminal connection without problems. However, the next time I dial-in, the modem answers and after 1-2 seconds, promptly disconnects. I can then dial-in again, and connect without incident. This is repeatable. Successful logon, followed by unsuccessful attempt, followed by successful logon, followed by unsuccessful attempt followed by .....(you get the picture) If I try 'tip' after I have had a successful login (i.e. before I get the unsuccessful login) I get a 'link down' message. In addition, there is no sign of getty listening to the port when I do a 'ps' command. After dialing up and being immediately disconnected, I can tip into the modem, and can see the getty process. My modem is a USR Sportster. Is something failing to reset the modem or getty? Why would it be reset by an unsuccessful login? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

In general, there is only one version, altho several folks are spending time trying to make more. That version is for the Intel architecture.

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for this activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it.

It might also be worth mentioning that pseudo-code is very useful when writing code - first decide what the function is supposed to do, then write down pseudo-code that describes this in more detail, then write comments based on the pseudo-code.

It varies according to taste - some people use vi (or even ed!) at the command line and perhaps a few shell scripts, which gives you a simple but very austere environment, other prefer emacs, which is very powerful but rather overwhelming if you're not used to it. It's probably the nearest thing to an IDE you can get in FreeBSD. Not wishing to blow my own trumpet or anything, but you may be interested in a document I've just written which is aimed at people who are trying out Unix programmming for the first time. It covers things like how to set up Emacs as an IDE, which compiler options to use, how to get started with the debugger, that kind of thing. It's at http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/devel/devel.html In fact, I've just heard it's been added to the handbook, so you might also be able to find it somewhere under http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland | http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/ james@jraynard.demon.co.uk | jraynard@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 9 18:14:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA25612 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Jun 1996 18:14:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pobox.upenn.edu (root@POBOX.UPENN.EDU [130.91.72.31]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA25598 for ; Sun, 9 Jun 1996 18:14:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from upenn.edu.upenn.edu (TS10-62.UPENN.EDU [128.91.202.83]) by pobox.upenn.edu (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA02151 for ; Sun, 9 Jun 1996 21:15:18 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <31BB76E4.380E@pobox.upenn.edu> Date: Sun, 09 Jun 1996 21:14:13 -0400 From: Kay Kurbjun X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Help on Installing Free BSD X-URL: http://www.cdrom.com/titles/freebsd.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I am trying to install Free BSD. I have a 486DX 33 MHZ with 8 Megs of RAM and a 420 meg HD I have a SIIG EIDE Hard Drive Controler. I have a Trident Video Card. My Operating System is Windows 95. I am copying the boot.flp image file to a 1.44 meg floppy using RaWrite. I can copy the image file to the disk, but when I try to boot from it I get a blank screen. I can get the disk to boot on my 386 but I cannot install because it does not have a connection to the internet, and it only has 2 megs of RAM. Is Free BSD not compatable with my system? Or is Windows 95 conflicting with the installation in some way? If you could help me I would greatly appriciate feedback.

I went on irc and talked to a few people in #FreeBSD and they told me that it is possible to run FreeBSD along with Windows95 and WindowsNT 4.0. After that, I ftped into ftp.cdrom.com /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/src and got the boot.flp. I also got the rawrite.exe out of /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/tools. I first tried to run rawrite.exe in virgin dos. I put in the disk, but the image onto it, and then rebooted, and it gave me 'Read Error'. I thought it was a disk problem so I put it in another disk, copied the image to it also. This time, when I rebooted on it, it just sat there in the boot up. It would begin to read off of the floppy, (as if it was going to boot) but then the light would turn off, and the computer woudl just sit there. So I put that disk into the computer that was sitting next to me (my brothers) and FreeBSD bootted up perfectly. It extracted the kernal, and came to a color menu with installation options. I am trying to figure out if there is a reason why FreeBSD does not like my computer. Is there anything that would prevent it from booting? I have Windows95, WindowsNT4.0, and a free dos partition that I was going to install Linux or FreeBSD on. I have a 486/75Mhz with 8mb of ram. My brothers is a 486/66 8mb ram. I am confused what is going on. I am going to upgrade my computer to a Pentium 150mhz 16mb ram June 20th, but I want to install FreeBSD too much, and can't wait. I think it would be neat to fool around with, and help me at my job. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! ------------------------------------- Steve Schwartz -- steve@gslink.com GlobeSat Communications Inc.

The passwd file is actually generated from a database, which is why editing the passwd file doesn't work (as you've seen, it just gets re-generated from the dataase). Use 'vipw' to edit the file - this will automatically update the database afterwards. You'll probably need to do other things like delete their home directory as well. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland | http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/ james@jraynard.demon.co.uk | jraynard@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 9 19:08:42 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA12454 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Jun 1996 19:08:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay-4.mail.demon.net (relay-4.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.108]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA12364 for ; Sun, 9 Jun 1996 19:08:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id ac21263; 10 Jun 96 2:08 GMT Received: from jraynard.demon.co.uk ([158.152.42.77]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa20454; 10 Jun 96 2:32 +0100 Received: (from fqueries@localhost) by jraynard.demon.co.uk (8.7.5/8.6.12) id BAA18723; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 01:15:54 GMT Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 01:15:54 GMT Message-Id: <199606100115.BAA18723@jraynard.demon.co.uk> From: James Raynard To: faro666@cloud9.net CC: questions@freebsd.org In-reply-to: <31BB5197.4DAF@cloud9.net> (message from Gwar15 on Sun, 09 Jun 1996 18:35:03 -0400) Subject: Re: Finding FreeBsd Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I'm a bit confussed on where to find a version of Freebsd for my > mac....Do you guys carry it on your Web page?

Thanks for this Greg, I'll check it out. The way I've finally managed to do this was a using a cross section of what I already knew and advice the the guys here on the list. 1) use /stand/sysinstall to fdisk and label the drive - don't forget to label the new drive as '/' (or at least on of the new filesystems should be labelled as '/') 2) exit out back to the install and use a custom setup to just install the games section. It will probably fail here creating the new filesystem (well it with me anyway). 3) back to the shell prompt and use 'disklabel -er sd1' to put in the values that should appear here (see the man page and the settings for the original disk - sd0?). 4) Now that you've disklabel working put in the information about the filesystems in /etc/fstab and the do a 'newfs sd1c' (or whatever label you applied to the file system in disklabel) 5) mount /newfilesystem (again the reference created in fstab should be used) 6) thats it - just remains to alter your backup routines to cope with the new filesystem(s).

I thought about documenting something like this, but decided against it. It's like using a chainsaw without a guard: the chances of screwing up something are just too great. At least with the conventional method I describe, you know what you're doing, and though you can certainly go wrong (far too easily, I'm afraid), the consequences are usually not nearly as bad.

A friend of mine (Hi Jaye!) recommended it to me a long time ago while I was using a non-supported MUA, and finally I switched over. It supports threading and all sorts of neat features which would allow you to 'kill' entire threads based on their subjects. I use it inside XEmacs on both my FreeBSD box and my Sparc at work.

I tried booting the system with the "-c" option and using the the visual interface I deleted everything but the floppy drive, ide drive and system console. I physically removed the ethernet adapter just to minimize the possibilities. Still no go. I didn't spend the time to format the 1.6G drive for DOS because I was confident it would work. I chose a different path....costly, but effective. Saturday I went out and purchased an Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller and an HP 2.1G SCSI hard drive. Once again, I booted using the "-c" option and using the visual interface, eliminated everything but the adaptec controller, floppy drive, network card, lpt0 and system console. Lo and behold, the system booted up and even recognized all installed components....no conflicts. I actually began to regain some optimism. I went through the "novice" configuration, allocated the entire drive(2.1G) to the system and toggled the flag for boot(selection S) and took the default system labelsand sizes for for /, swap, /var and the balance allocated to /usr. Next the install program asked which apps I wanted to install. I selected the full install(700M) and finally it asked what my installation medium was(Floppy). Of course, then came the required "Do you really want to do this?" messages and I answered yes. The system proceeded to go out and do what ever it does and then prompted me to insert the "root.flp" disk. I did and it continued doing it's thing. Next it prompted me to insert the first install disk. In my case, that disk contains /bin.aa - /bin.af plus checksums. Note: These disks were created using a DOS based machine. The file checksums was reduced to "checksum" since DOS has an 8 character filename constraint. What happend next still defies comprehension. I inserted the first load disk, /bin.aa etc and pressed the enter key. It started to read the disk and about that time, I accidently hit a key on the keyboard and the system gave a "PANIC" message crashed and rebooted. The keyboard that I got with this system has a few keys that have "MS-Windows" symbols on them and that is one of the keys that I hit. Perhaps this is only a coincidence. I don't know. Ever since then, though, I can't get the boot disk to get beyond the "newfs" part of the program. It gives a write error which is covered by a graphical window message the says "error mounting /mnt/dev/sd0s1e on /mnt/var". The system then once again proceeds to give a PANIC message and reboots. I've tried low level reformatting the hard drive and using a different boot floppy. The results are the same. I did find the extended error messages by pressing alt-F2 and managed to retrieve the info "Panic: Page Fault 12" and noticed the other error messages being displayed with hex codes etc. The systems reboots before I can copy anything down. Is there anything specific I need to retrieve from this that will be of use in determining the problem? Is there any way to over-ride the reboot process so I can get the info? On a different, forward looking note, I downloaded via FTP, the files bin/bin.aa - bin/bin.cp, checksums and install.sh. Does install.sh need to be on the first disk with checksums? Will the fact that checksums was truncated to checksum cause problems? Do those files in the bin directory contain the entire load or is that the basic installation? If so, what other files do I need to get the full install? None of the readme files that I've found so far document this. Finally, do any of you know of anyone local to the San Diego area that I may be able to contact for assistance as well? As I said in a previous email, in the past, I've only been a "user" of UNIX, with some crude sys admin experience. There is much about the low level features I haven't been exposed to.....until now. As always, your assistance is appreciated.

It is fairly easy to set up a two stage filter with "procmail" (or elm's "filter" program, which seems to be in disrepute). You can use that to set up an awk script that greps subject/source/author and then basically do a "kill-file" by awking your kill list into an input filter for procmail/filter. If you are stuck with GroupWise, with no hope, then it's possible to gateway the lists to local news groups (there are several people who have said they were doing this at one time or another on the -hackers list). To do this, you will have to set up a subscribed list gateway on the UNIX system acting as a news server. The lists get mailed there and copied to the news groups by the gateway. Be sure and implement: Not: list news list news | | |\ /| v v | X | O O |/ \| |\ /| vv vv | X | O O |/ \| | | vv vv v v O O news list | | v v news list To avoid loops, if you gateway local postings back to the mailing lists.

If he logs in using telnet, he doesn't have that problem. If I rlogin and log in to his account, my terminal works fine (cons25 and also a minimal 25-line ansi terminal from the BBS). The man page for rlogind mentioned something about getting the `window size' from the terminal... but it doesn't say how it's doing it. I've also tried the ansi and dosansi termcaps with no change.

I haven't seen the news server, but the commerce server comes with it's own installation system, so a port isn't necessary (and with servers, doing ports is often difficult as you may want to go add a new user to /etc/passwd, etc).

Rasins" Subject: Intel EtherExpress installation Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have an Intel EtherExpress 16 adapter in a Dell 486/33 machine. But I'm not having any success in getting it setup up within FreeBSD 2.1.0. On bootup, the ix0 driver is loaded since the card is seen during the ISA probe. To get this far, I did modify the kernel so that other devices at similar address were not attached to the card before the ix0 driver (such as wt0 and mdc0). My problem now occurs when trying to ifconfig the device. If the Flash / Boot ROM configuration is set to an address through Intel's SoftSet program, the ifconfig command crashes the system with a kernel panic, and the error is 12 (I believe). If the FlashBoot ROM configuration is disabled, ifconfig doesn't crash the system, but doing a ping of an address returns - /kernel: ix.cx.nocs for each packet sent out. If I use the boot floppy, and try to setup the device use the post-installation configuration steps, I do get prompted for all the information for ix0 (hostname, domain, address, etc.). But after accepting the setup by pressing O.K., a few seconds goes by and I then get "Fatal signal 11 caught! I'm dead.." at the bottom of the screen. So, I'm no expert at FreeBSD, and I'm definitely struggling with this setup. I could not find what I thought was appropriate in the FAQ or the Handbook Web page. Any help would sure be great. Thank you.

PC3 refers to a setup for your console screen, and it's very highly unlikely that the dos program you mention emulates it. It's much more likely that the dos user has it set up to do either a vt100 emulation, or maybe a tvi925. It's really likely that the comm program can emulate more than one, so it's up to you and your user to pick an emulation that the dos program can do, and that has a litsting in /usr/share/misc/termcap. It's really unlikely it's pc3. > > -Dave Babler > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 10 16:12:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA16763 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 16:12:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from merit-mx1.telemail.net (merit-mx1.telemail.net [198.70.61.62]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA16738 for ; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 16:12:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Zahid.A.Abbasi@KSOPKBGATE.sprint.com X400-Received: by /PRMD=KSOPKBGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/; Relayed; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 18:48:00 -0400 X400-Received: by /PRMD=KSOPKBGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/; Relayed; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 18:48:00 -0400 X400-Received: by /PRMD=KSOPKBGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/; Relayed; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 18:48:00 -0400 X400-Received: by /PRMD=KSOPKBGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/; Relayed; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 18:48:00 -0400 Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 18:48:00 -0400 X400-Originator: Zahid.A.Abbasi@KSOPKBGATE.sprint.com X400-MTS-Identifier: [/PRMD=KSOPKBGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/;Mon Jun 10 18:48:46 199601] X400-Content-Type: P2-1984 (2) Content-Identifier: source code for Message-ID: <"Mon Jun 10 18:48:46 199601*/I=A/G=Zahid/S=Abbasi/PRMD=KSOPKBGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/"@MHS> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: source code for ftp client and server Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am looking for the source code for the ftp client and server that can be compiled on a NextStep.

I read this on 3 seperate news groups and in one press release about (nominally from?) Netscape. I had assumed that it was at the request of BSDI to change their method of distribution so that you couldn't buy the BSDI version except through BSDI (I thought maybe BSDI had an OEM agreement inked or something). If this isn't true, then Netscape and BSDI need to widen the scope of their damage control in their press releases to that effect; a joint press release announcing the next BSDI version with an assurance of continued support wouldn't be a bad idea.

Change your file sizes so that partial files are all some multiple of 512 bytes. ;-). The reported fragmentation is the unusable disk space (as opposed to the DOS fragmentation, which is the disk space rendered unusable by the DOS FS layout policy). You will always have some minimal amount of fragmentation because hard disks read and write in terms of blocks.

It's semi-automatic. The system tries it's best to create non-fragmented files, but won't go to the length of de-fragmenting other files in order to make more contiguous disk space available. > Is there a utility for defragmenting the Hard Drive? Nope (not for FreeBSD anyhow) > How do i defrag the above partitions? You don't. 0.7% is nothing to worry about anyhow. Well, actually, you can, sort of. You make a tar image of the filesytem, newfs it, then restore from the tar image. That leaves you with the filesystem as de-fragmented as it'll go. Unless you have a slow drive, or are REALLY worried about SMALL performance hits, fragmentation is generally not a problem. I don't have any figures, but I'd be surprised if fragmentation values of up to several percent made any appreciable difference to FS performance for most use. Personally, I'd guess system bottlenecks (disk performance under multi-user loads, I/O & RAM & processor bandwidth) would affect performance more than fragmentation.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have run into some severe problems when I tried to install the 2.1 version of the FreeBSD. I believe my hardware is fine because I had 2.0 running on it previously. Due to the recommedation from your document, instead of upgrading to 2.1, I am installing 2.1 from scratch. I have a 486/50 with 16M Ram, an IDE DOS hard disk and a SCSI hard disk dedicated to FreeBSD. The first step I did was to format the whole 1.08G disk as a primary DOS disk. I did this because, previously I have a 20/80 partition scheme for DOS/FreeBSD. I chose "A" when the installation script asked how I want to use the disk and "No" to whether I want to keep the disk geometry aligned for other operating systems. The geometry came back as 1/1/1 for cylinder/bsd/sector. Is that correct? Or should I reset the geometry of the hard disk.? If so, what should be the configuration? I ran pfdisk but I don't know what to set the disk to. Last, I chose the CDROM as the installation media and then the process started to roll. It balked at mounting /mnt/dev/sd01f on /mnt/usr. I thought that the "f" partition should be mounted on /usr instead since I used the default partition scheme by choosing "A" when asked. The biggest problem came when it tried to extract the "bin" distribution. During the course of extracting the stuff, there would be checksum errors. I tried this installation procedure many many times. The checksum errors sometimes started after 10%, 39%, 50% had been loaded. After so many times, I finally began to doubt my CDROM drive and so I tried to do a minimum installation from DOS. Same problems occurred! Please help me ASAP as this has become a frustrating experience for me. I thought getting 2.0 up was easy enough and getting 2.1 up should be a breeze. Thank you for your kind attention!

It'll provide you *some* protection (i.e., more than just hanging your network naked on the Internet), but if that's all you deploy as your firewall, you're toast if that machine is compromised. That risk may be acceptable for your site; it certainly wasn't (and isn't) for ours, though. And I sure wouldn't hang a pacemaker (or credit-card transaction processing software) off the back end of that sort of firewall.

I'm not a ppp guru (I have it working, but barely) so I won't try to answer that one. Seyon is designed so that you can run any particular X program as the terminal emulator by calling the "fake" program seyon-emu. When I run seyon (seldom, I like kermit now) I set up a link in /usr/X11R6/bin, between color_xterm (the program I want seyon to run for the terminal) and seyon-emu by setting a soft link up (see man ln) with the command line: ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/color_xterm /usr/X11R6/bin/seyon_emu This creates the seyon-emu (really a link to color_xterm) You don't even have to do this, tho, because seyon is smart enough, if it can't find 'seyon-emu' to execute, it gives that error message and executes xterm anyhow. Safe enough. Go looking for color_xterm (if you want) in the FreeBSD ports collection. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 10 21:49:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA22834 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 21:49:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from atlantis.nconnect.net (root@atlantis.nconnect.net [206.54.227.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA22822 for ; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 21:49:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from arabian.astrolab.net ([206.54.227.204]) by atlantis.nconnect.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA26030 for ; Mon, 10 Jun 1996 18:48:03 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <31BCB435.41C67EA6@nconnect.net> Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 23:48:05 +0000 From: Randy DuCharme X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b4 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: colorls utility Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I've just installed colorls from 2.1 release.

I've got several kind of repeatable problems with any operating systems I've been trying to install. It seemed to me that the most likely source of problems was the combination of ISA/VESA/PCI and/or types of boards inserted in the mainboard. After having settled for a combination of 2940 (lates firmware anyway) in slot #1 and CL5430 in slot #3, with a fair success (2940 in slot #3 and the the same video card in slot #1 was almost a disaster of stability), I wanted to experiment the VESA bus capability of the Asus board. Therefore, using a 2940, in whatever slot, and a CL 5429, I've got the worst results, with the system not able to stay alive for more than ten seconds. The lesson I've got is to avoid usage of any PCI-ISA-VESA all in one type of board, and to anyway pay much attention to eventual (in)compatibility between PCI and other PCI or non PCI boards, at least in the PVI486-SP3 main board. Currently, I'm running such mainboard with ISA 1542B and Vesa CL5429, with very good performance and stability. I'd appreciate any criticism to my experience so far, because I'm still reveling in my thoughts about. Rgds, Marco.

What you need to do is eithe get your CD working under FreeBSD (if you have one) or copy the archive from the DOS FS to a FreeBSD directory, restoring the filename to what it was. For example, if you have a package that got munged to TCSH6.03, then you need to copy it to your freebsd partition and change the name back to what it was, adding the '.tgz' extension. cp /dos/TCSH6.03 tcsh-6.03.tgz Then run 'pkg_add' to add it: pkg_add tcsh-6.03.tgz two things I would recommend for you: If you ordered the 2.1 CDROM, call Walnut Creek back and order the "Installing and Running FreeBSD" book. All sorts of beginners stuff for free. Can't beat that! And if you didn't order the CD, buy the book anyway. Secondly, become good friends with the freeBSD web site , especially the document and search sections. Lots of good info there.

Shutdown Win95 to DOS mode to make the floppy. And make sure your floppy is DOS formatted and 100% error-free. And make sure you downloaded the boot.flp in binary mode. the 386 won't run until you put 5MB of RAM into it.

Not knowing much about how lpd behaves itself when a printer goes down, I'd go check the status of that printer in lpc first with 'status printer', and if it was disabled, re-enable it with 'enable printer' (or other corrective action). then maybe a 'restart printer' for good measure.

I did it by putting six (?) archives on each 1.4MB floppy. I put the leftovers (checksum, install.sh, et al) on the final floppy. I inserted each disk in turn. I think sysinstall counts disks and not files, so you could put them in reverse order if you want. :-) After that everything was OK. checksum errors might make it complain but won't kill install I think. > None of the readme files that I've found so far document this.

Users that login through ftp have the same permissions as if they telnetted in and used their shell account. If your permissions are set right then they can't do any more damage than they could from their normal login. You may be able to hack something with wu-ftpd; it's pretty configurable. I'm not a wu-ftpd guru so I can't say for sure, though.

Today's June, 11. If I don't get a reply today you may aswell skip this mail ... :-(( I installed Netscape 30b4 with the port for -current on a fairly vanilla 2.1R system: It went through without problems. It created the /usr/local/bin/netscape script and moved the binary to /usr/local/bin/netscape.bin. It created /usr/local/lib/netscape aswell and copied all necessary files to it. I tried it and Netscape runs well with ONE exception: It doesn't execute Java-applets. The error message is "couldn't create AppletClassLoader for JavaScript" The configuration is ok: I use the same preferences-file with 30b4 on a Sparc unter SunOS 4.1.3. I tried the "mkfontdir" hint without success and commented out the CLASSDIR variable - also without success. I didn't get the classes.zip file, though. Any further hints? It's realy URGENT: Thursday morning, my computer stands on a local exhibition as an Internet-surf-terminal ...

This is exactly the same problems that I have been seeing. ASUS PVI486SP3 mainboard with Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI card. I was also using a PCI CL5436 graphics card. (Although I also tried an ISA graphics card with no more success) I tried 2 mainboards, and 2 SCSI cards. It worked perfectly with an ISA SCSI card (Adaptec, not sure it's model - it's quite old) The machine would lock-up during the newfs stage of the install. The same cards, memory & disks worked perfectly in an ASUS P120.

I did create a user pop, with group number set to noone, and groupid set to nogroup. However that didn't work. I then did a adduser and set it's shell to nonexistant. It installed after that. Why does it require a user though ? The previous version didn't, and as far as I am concerned, it's a security hole/violation to have a user you don't (really) need. >At least thats what I would try with that error! it is pretty logical. >But I would also think that it would/could add it's own.

As I recall that just includes the class files. You also need something that runs java bytecode. I gather kaffe does this (have not tried) and Netscape is suppoed to, but doesn't always work too well. I've been using the liunx jdk port with success under -current. It supports the GUI stuff which is pretty important if you are doing applet coding and don't want to hassle with netscape just to view the darn things. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 11 06:36:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA22957 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 06:36:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jolt.eng.umd.edu (jolt.eng.umd.edu [129.2.102.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA22949 for ; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 06:36:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from professor.eng.umd.edu (professor.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.207]) by jolt.eng.umd.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA24076; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 09:36:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from chuckr@localhost) by professor.eng.umd.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA29058; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 09:36:22 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 09:36:21 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey X-Sender: chuckr@professor.eng.umd.edu To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu cc: Randy DuCharme , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: colorls utility 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 Tue, 11 Jun 1996, Doug White wrote: > On Mon, 10 Jun 1996, Randy DuCharme wrote: > > > I've just installed colorls from 2.1 release.

I installed > the package 'cnews'. Any documentation on how to get it up and > running? Thanks in advance. I beleive that you need innd rather than cnews nowdays. Even though you can probably get yourself UUCP feed :) from some ISP(s), 99% of news servers are INND based these days. So try to get inn1.4unoff4 , shared active patch and fire them up. Works just fine for me here ( ~20.000 newsgroups , up to 350 simult. readers). I strongly recommend to use ccd solution to speed the server up. I have 3 AHA2940W and 6 HDs - this gives me ~18.000.000/sec throuhgput. PPro 200 ASUS MB fits in nicely as well :) Rashid.

I'm not a wu-ftpd guru so I can't say for sure, though. Nothing needs to be *hacked* -- just read the man pages, add all of the users that you wish to restrict to some group (like 'ftponly'). Add the group to your /etc/group file and list that group in your ftpaccess file with a 'guestgroup' directive. You can then use wu-ftpd's features to force all ftp access by members of this group into suitably configured chroot'd environments. It's all in the man pages (somewhere) and wu-ftpd is covered pretty thoroughly in O'Reilly's _Managing_Internet_Information_ _Services_ (the "marmot" book).

I have the box at an ISP now, and I access it across the Internet -- my backspace is broken again. I have tried very hard to put it right. It won't. If anyone out there is using FreeBSD and has the login prompt accepting "^H" as backspace (at login), let me know how you did it. Considering "cdrom.com" also has the same trouble as me (^H does not backspace) I think my efforts are futile. BTW -- When testing this, make sure getty spawns a new process. Otherwise, you will reuse an old one that tset or stty has put right, and ^H will work on the login prompt.

You might have to... the install kernel looks for sio3 (com4) on IRQ 9 I think, while under DOS you'd usually have it as IRQ 3. Otherwise, recompile the kernel and set it to look at IRQ 3 (and under FreeBSD it seems each com port needs its own interrupt setting, so make sure all are different). Hope that helps. --- Adrian Chew Email->adrchew@pop.jaring.my Alternate Dimensions Figure Skating World "Cutting Edge Web Designs" "Your Online Skating Source" http://turnpike.net/~adweb http://turnpike.net/~adweb/fsw http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/htbin/pks-extract-key.pl?op=get&search=0xD384F34 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 11 10:02:11 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA12034 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 10:02:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA12025 for ; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 10:02:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA25077; Tue, 11 Jun 1996 12:59:58 -0400 Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 12:59:58 -0400 From: Garrett Wollman Message-Id: <9606111659.AA25077@halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu> To: "Christoph P.

I'm installing a BSD machine, it has a NE2000 network card. After the initial install, I want to set up the PPP, so before I exit the sysinstall program, I told it to use ftp install, and to fetch the DES stuff... on vtty3 I use the PPP dailer to connect to the local ISP, but the sysinstall can't seem to resolve the ftp.freebsd.org, or anything else. I exited, and booted the machine, 2.1 release comes up fine, the NE2000 is working fine. I can hop around in the local TCP/IP network, but when I try ppp (the tun0 variant), the same thing still happenes. The funny thing is, the same procedure works fine for my machine at work. The only difference is, my machine at work does not have a network adapter... So, is it possible to use both serial IP and NE2000 IP together? If so, how?

Here goes: Ok, I'm running UserPPP on FreeBSD 2.1. At the bottom of ppp.conf, I have this: set ifaddr 0 x.x.x.x Where "x.x.x.x" is the address of the default gateway on the ISP side. So whenever I dial in, it negotiates a PPP connection successfully, but then HANGS UP. So, I thought, maybe it assigns the gateway address dynamically, and I should set it to 0. So I changed it to this: set ifaddr 0 0 And it worked! No more hanging up on me after I connect. Except now I can't use ppp -auto. When I do "ppp -auto XXXX" (where XXXX is the name of the label in my ppp.conf script), it runs long enough to tell me that the "-auto" option does not work when i have a dynamically assigned gateway address. Why is this? Is there any way around this?

Use the "visual" mode to tell the if_le (LANCE) ethernet driver the interrupt and base address.

I put the IRQ back to 10, even though 5 was also unused. The I/O address remains at 300h. There aren't any conflicts with either IRQ or the I/O address. I have it working now by using the GENERIC kernel. Apparantly, and not surprisingly, I must have screwed up in modifying the kernel. I don't understand why it now sees ix0 with the GENERIC kernel, whereas before either wt0 or mcd0 would be identified, thereby keeping ix0 from being probed. And that is all I was trying to do in modifying the kernel: comment out those device lines. I did notice that using the modified kernel, at bootup, "text" was shown at 0xd0000, but with the generic it was shown at 0xe9000. I didn't see where I would have even changed that, but I bring it up because the ix0 device as in iomem address of 0xd0000 and iosize of 32768. Maybe they were stepping on each other? Again, thanks for the quick reply.

I have rebuilt my kernel (2.1-960606-SNAP) to include 486 and 586 support. I have in the system, an adaptec 2940, a hercules Ark1000 Pro pci video and a SMC 9332 pci 10/100 ethernet card. The system has 32 megs of ram. When I boot the system, the CPU is detected as a 486 CPU. When I try and run X, the system starts to load X and then the screen blanks out and reboots. My question is will there be support ofr the Cyrix 6x86 chip and is there a work around for my problem? The system otherwise runs very well and is rather quick compared to a similar Pentium 150 based machine.

I've heard it both ways. Someone told me that the BusLogic card has a larger tag queue and that such a feature made it superior. Another person explained that the Adaptec uses newer tag queue command processing that is much faster than the older BusLogic technology, and that makes the Adaptec superior. I'm planning on outfitting two machines with whichever controller appears the better. I will be using SCSI-2 Fast&Wide drives to begin with, but will later add UltraWide drives as they become available. I have yet to decide whether to run BSD/OS or FreeBSD on them. Please refrain from commenting on the merits of BSD/OS or FreeBSD over the other, since my question has little to do with which OS I chose (except whether the OS solidly supports the SCSI controller in question). I've used both OS's on other systems and like each for different reasons. Which is superior? Is there any real data? Has anyone used both cards in both OS environments?

I've been told that the occasional panics (something about scsi bus timeouts?) have been resolved by a -STABLE release; however, when I installed the first of them (well, partially: I swapped kernels and /bin), I got a flood of complaints that my server was failing. You know how customer complaints are; even when the information is right to hand, you can't rely on them transmitting it. So I have no idea if the nnrps stopped sending or if connections were just getting arbitrarily dropped or what. Anyway, I went back to -RELEASE; those crashes only happen once every few weeks! I looked at the code and it doesn't look at all like an easy job to retrofit the ahc driver changes into the release kernel. The question is: is it known what changes are needed to eliminate the panics? Or, is there a reasonable way to add those changes to my release kernel?

If you compile your kernel for a 386, you'll have no problems. The Nx586 does not support Pentium microcode.

If you don't like stty'ing all the time, put it in .login or .cshrc. You can change root's (and anyone's) shell in vipw. Just edit the '/bin/csh'to be '/usr/local/bin/bash'. Note that you will get yelled at if /usr is unmounted for some reason. I would leave root on csh, just to be sure you can run it.

I've heard it both ways. Someone told me that the BusLogic > card has a larger tag queue and that such a feature made it superior. Probably does. If and only if the OS will issue more tagged IO's. Since neither of the OS's you mention do to any substantial effect, it doesn't really matter. > Another person explained that the Adaptec uses newer tag queue command > processing that is much faster than the older BusLogic technology, and that > makes the Adaptec superior. Same argument applies.

If you really think that a 40 MB/s bus will get you any more io than a 20, you ought to try running IOzone against a memory filesystem. You may be suprised at what you find on either of your bsd's. I can't say about freebsd, but my understanding is that bsd/os 2.1 doesn't really take advantage of any of the W controllers, let alone the UW. Perhaps FreeBSD does with the 2940, but I won't base my production system on a set of drivers developed solely through reverse engineering. If Adaptec wants me to buy their product they can release the engineering specs required for my OS vendor to support them properly.

It does for some people, but leads to active file corruption for others. The cause has yet to be tracked down, as the VM guru (John Dyson) can't seem to replicate the behaviour causing corruption on his system(s). My current guess is that if your machine doesn't swap/page while running the sharedactive patch, you'll be okay, but don't quote me on that, and don't blame me if it doesn't work!

What on earth made you think that we reverse engineered their driver to write ours? If nothing else, thats ILLEGAL. The driver was written with hardware handbooks supplied by Adaptec (I know, I've seen them as I used to work in the same office as Justin Gibbs, the person who wrote the driver!). As for wide support, 2940W and 2940UW are both supported in the latest driver revisions. So Adaptec DO supply the specs for the cards... just (to date) not the 3985 RAID controller (or more specificially, the chip on that card which makes it so special).

What could be wrong? > I was able to use the term command and manually dial into both a ppp account and my shell account with the ppp I was able to tlenet to the machine I was dialed into. But my new problem is in the time I was fixing my local ethernet, I seemed to messed up my modem. the only thing I was changing was the ifconfig lines in /etc/sysconfig. The ppp.conf and other files were able to locat e the mode at /dev/cuaa0 now it seem to not be able to find it. On boot up it seems to find it on sio1 type 16550A so I tried changing all /dev/cuaa0 to /dev/cuaa1 in all the /etc and /etc/ppp files and I was able to open term inside of ppp but i could not type into it nor could I kill the process. I could only ~. out of term but I could not kill the process, I could only suspend it. they same thing happened when I tried putting all the /dev/cuaa1 back to /dev/cuaa0 and tried to use /dev/cuaa0 as a hard link to /dev/cuaa1 I can't figure how my modem could have been moved to another com port by toying with the /etc/sysconfig. I am very new to FreeeBSD but I am fairly familiar with running linux.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi: Well I have now pulled 2 all nighters trying to get FreeBSD up and running. I am having a problem that I can not troubleshoot! I can find nothing in the manual to help me solve this. Please help! I loaded the boot.flp off the net and made the disk I booted my Pentium computer with IDE 1gig HD and 16 megs mem with Ne2000 Ethernet card. I had to change the ethernet card address to 0320 in the config area by using -c during the boot. In this same config area I took out all the conflicts that showed up and made sure all my essentials were ok! At main menu I chose novice setup.... I use the (a) command in the disk setup area and then the a command again to auto config the disk I told the system to get the files via FTP from your site and it did it! I am on a T1 and am an ISP. After all the files were transferred I get the following message... "Unable to link /Kernel into place" I continued on and set up Apache and other options that all loaded and took fine. I then exited and the reboot began. The boot came up with F1 BSD F? when I hit F1 the thing freezes. What can I do? Do I have to get all the files again and start over to fix this. I have already done this 3 times to no avail. Please Please send any help you can. This has got to be something simple as all else went fine. I have deadlines to meet and could use the help! If you can be reached by phone and if that is easier please leave a number and a time to call. I can be reached by phone after 7pm eastern at 773-1130 or at support@computer.net via email. Thanks very much!

They are generally claming 40 MegaBytes per second. And, they are also claiming 20MBs for fast-wide and 10MBs for fast. However, all this speed exists only in the fantasy of frenzied marketing types. The bottomline is that: 1. Yes, they drive could possible do a short burst of data from the drive's on board controller and cache across the SCSI bus at 10,20,40MBs. 2. But the drive can only sustain transfers from the media to host at 0.5, 1, 2, or perhaps, if you are lucky, 3MBs per second. There are AVI drives in the world which come with a specification that that they can indeed sustain some certain transfer rate for their entire capacity. One of the limiting factors is Tcal's. Sometimes a drive will lose track of which cylinder it is on. It then has to find its way by moving the head to a known location and then moving back to where it is supposed to be from there. This can take quite some time. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 12 04:00:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA23894 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 04:00:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buffnet4.buffnet.net (buffnet4.buffnet.net [205.246.19.13]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA23880 for ; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 04:00:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buffnet1.buffnet.net (mmdf@buffnet1.buffnet.net [205.246.19.10]) by buffnet4.buffnet.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id GAA23153 for ; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 06:00:25 GMT Received: from buffnet7.buffnet.net by buffnet1.buffnet.net id aa18546; 12 Jun 96 7:02 EDT Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 07:02:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Stephen Hovey To: "T.

Just to qualify this. Per a recent clarification on hackers, the key limitation seems to be <= 1024 cylinders, not 512MB. Without LBA in effect, 1024 cyl typically equates to 512MB. With LBA, the MB mark is much greater since the cylinders are remapped. BTW, I have my entire FreeBSD 2.1.0 bootable partition (root, swap, and usr) up past the 700MB mark on my IDE drive -- works great. The actual cylinder numbers are > 1024, but the LBA remapped cylinder numbers are 373-786 (< 1024).

My friend tells me the motherboard has a chip marked as an NCR 53c710(?). He couldn't find anything that would give an indication as to what the ethernet card is. Problem: Using the latest SNAP (2.1-960606-SNAP), the install boot up fails to find the SCSI hard drive and the ethernet controller. My initial guess is that we need to boot with '-c' and set the irq and port for the appropriate devices. But the ncr support doesn't list this as a supported chipset, and we don't have any idea as to what the ethernet card is. Has anyone else installed FreeBSD on a similar setup?

The version of mgetty in the 2.1R ports collection is old, and does not support the "Auto PPP" option you're looking for. I don't know if Current has a more recent port.

The fundamental limitation here isn't 504/512MB, it's 1024 (physical, or remapped if running LBA) cylinders. If you've got LBA BIOS, then your cylinder count is much lower and you can boot anywhere below remapped cylinder 1024. I've been doing this on my box at home for some time (2.1.0-STABLE).

If you're in the lab and need to do some kind of data acquisition you might need it. But running a busy web/news/mail/other-inet-application server doesn't - it needs lots of ios/sec, not lots of bandwidth. And a fast scsi channel can request just as many random seeks/sec as a UW bus. Again I'll challenge people to run iozone against either a MFS (am based) file system or just small files which fit within the disk cache system. If you can only write to *ram* at 10-20 MB/sec do you think it'll write to a scsi (UW) channel any faster? When the PC's your UW controller is in are enough faster, and or the bsdi/freebsd developers have refined the IO subsystems enough that a scsi channel is a fundamental limitation, then I'll be a proponent of UW - or whatever the current high speed spec is:) --- David Miller ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!

Consider: The NCR PCI SCSI (ncr53C810) costs $45/qty 1, this is not a symbios clone, but a real ncr chip. We usually start with two , one per spindle, and the io transfers are multiplexed more than the ability of the same two drives on one card. Most noticable during fscheck's during boot. Also a scsi-bus hang, if one ever occurs, doesn't kill the primary drive either. I can't imagine why one would go out of the way to spend a ton of more money on a non-raid controller running wide/ultra. When you still have the weak link of the single controller card and single scsi-cable to impede your reliability. On Wed, 12 Jun 1996, Jacob M.

Is there a better solution? Yeah, sure there is, Boyd, but it isn't small. It's the /usr/ports/print/teTeX port, which includes both TeX, LaTeX, and all of the ancillary tools. This ports builds and installs perfectly, and doesn't short you on anything, and Bernd Rosauer (I hope I spelled that right) works at keeping it current. All you end up having to do is 'latex ' to get the .dvi file.

I'd recommend upgrading the entire kernel at once, but if you don't want to do that (there are some bugfixes in the latest version which can prevent crashes), you can grab the files by ftp.

I did get the FPU version so that is not a problem. The problem is that I had a 486-50 so my kernel is currently configured for a 486 hence it won't boot on a 386 it seems. Moslty I was asking if FreeBSD had a patch to recognize the chip as a Nexgen chip instead of a 386. But since the NExgen chip doesn't support Pentuim microcode, it doesn't seem to matter. Although I d know Linux has a patch to let it take advantage of nexgens cache on steriods, does FreeBSD have something similar? I guess it is time to download boot floppies so I can fix my kernel... -Scott From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 12 11:03:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA20253 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 11:03:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.rwth-aachen.de (mail.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.144.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA20248 for ; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 11:03:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de) by mail.rwth-aachen.de (PMDF V5.0-4 #13110) id <01I5U0FWRWN4001Y3Z@mail.rwth-aachen.de> for freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 19:57:04 +0100 Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.6.11/8.6.9) id UAA05907 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Wed, 12 Jun 1996 20:05:33 +0200 Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 20:05:33 +0200 From: "Christoph P.

If nothing else, thats ILLEGAL. Actually, to be illegal, we would have to accept Adaptec's assertion of an interface copyright as being valid. The closest thing to an interface copyright that has been upheld is the Lotus/VIP "look and feel" suit (I'm still waiting for Visicalc to sue Lotus). The interface copyright asserted by Ashton-Tate on dBase III's script interpreter (against Clipper, Inc., a manufacturer of a compiler for the same script language) was *not* upheld. It would probably be inconvenient to defend against an interface copyright lawsuit asserted by Adaptec following a clean-room reverse-engineering, but it certainly would not be impossible to win. In case you are wondering, the Microsoft/Stacker "deep reverse engineering" (the information which was so obtained being published in the Adrian King book on Windows95's boot process and the DOS boot process) was upheld because Stacker failed to use clean-room techniques (2 teams).

Your command line is probably wrong. Why on earth it wants to open /dev/tty is beyond me.

Any comments would be welcome No problem with multicontroller, AFAIK. There are many news servers out there that use this setup. The preferred unit appears to be the Adaptec 2940, although other models (3940?) are just as good. The NCR 53c8xx series has good performace for a low price. You just have to find them. :-) Someone else with practical experience may be able to elaborate.

Just pull the ports as you need them from ftp.freebsd.org using the automatic archive feature: cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/blah get directory.tar.gz Then unpack on your local system, enter the directory, and type 'make'. I suppose you could pull the whole thing if you wanted to wait (and somehow NOT get distfiles).

Something must be flaky with your setup because well sell the FIC motherboard with the Cyrix 6x86 P150+ and they run FreeBSD flawlessly.

I have > a SMC ethernet card that I cannot use with FreeBSD simply because it is > PNP. Ask Nate Williams. I believe the code is in -current (which would be "next release", if I'm right). PNP cards don't do squat unless you are running a PNP BIOS as well, since it's the BIOS that resolves the conflicts against on the motherboard devices. Does you box have a PNP BIOS, or do we need to be able to guess what's jumpered where, as well, and do the relocation that a PNP bios would have done without our intervention? The main thing a PNP BIOS does is locate cards where there are holes which depends on your POST order, and can vary from boot to boot. A PNP-BIOS aware OS will look for where the cards are by asking them using the PNP interface. For a motherboard without a PNP BIOS, the OS has to play BIOS for you and relocate things to non-conflicting locations -- impossible if you have any non-PNP cards in the machine. FreeBSD in "PNP-BIOS-aware mode" will use prerelocated cards, but will not, itself, relocate cards (or wouldn't, lat time I saw it -- it refuses to play BIOS for you). Many Micron systems (specifically) locate PNP boards to conflict with the PS/2 mouse port, so even a PNP motherboard can't make things safe. Basically if you use ISA cards, you are potentially screwed. The typical way to handle this (even under Windows95 on a Micron) is to let the PNP BIOS make a "best guess", record the info, turn off the PNP to lock the cards in the best guess location, resolve an conflicts, and then tell the Windows95 "My Computer" "Properties" sheet about anything you had to move (like the Adaptec 2940 that was stomping on IRQ 12 and making the PS/2 mouse fail). Then, you boot BSD and tell it where everything got locked down to (or you boot the PNP BSD, and if your system has a working PNP BIOS, BSD asks the cards where they live). For BSD up to 2.1, you will need to tell it; it won't ask. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Slow writes? You can turn on NFS write clustering and async I/O, both violations of the NFS protocol specification (and the default for System V and Linux systems, where the write is ack'ed before it is performed, so if a crash happens before the write really happens, any files that clients are writing to may be corrupt when the server comes back up). Other errors? I am aware of problems in -current, but know of no problems in the release code... maybe you could be more specific?

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I seem to have isolated a problem with getty in FreeBSD 2.1. I am curious to know if anyone else is experiencing similar problems, or if someone can instruct me as to what I am doing wrong. To modify the default behavior of many of the tty attributes _before_ login, the /etc/gettytab can be modified. Presumably, er=X should set the capital "X" as the delete character. It does not. The im message is correct every time, so I know this is the proper entry in the gettytab file to modify. This is what I have noticed: the first two consoles always default to "^H" as the erase key (pressing 'delete' generates ^?), thereafter every tty defaults to "?" as the erase key (pressing 'backspace' generates ^H). Am I noticing the default behavior of another config file? Remember, I am talking about the tty behavior _before_ login -- neither tset nor stty has executed yet.

Error: "Missing Operating System" Description: The BIOS-based MBR looked at the partition table, and saw that no partitions were marked active. Cause 1: No partitions are marked active (user error). Workaround 1: Boot a DOS boot disk and run fdisk. Mark a partition active. Reboot from the hard drive to get the selected OS. Cause 2: Installation of boot manager was selected when FreeBSD was being installed on the second disk (installer did not read installation instructions). Happens because there is no BSD disk on the first drive to mark active after everything is marked inactive. Workaround 2: Boot a DOS boot disk and run fdisk. Mark a partition active. Reboot from the hard drive to get the boot manager. Cause 3: Installation of boot manager was selected when FreeBSD was being installed on the second disk (installer did not read installation instructions) and OnTrack or other INT-13 redirecting LBA boot-sector TSR is in use. Happens because the boot manager has overwritten the OnTrack (or other) boot code. Workaround 3: Reinstall OnTRack or other INT-13 redirecting boot-sector TSR using disk which came with machine/drive. Do *NOT* overwrite partition table (which is undamaged). If boot selector is desired, boot DOS from hard drive and use DOS installation program to install boot selector. Overall fix: Make the FreeBSD install less stupid when it comes to installing FreeBSD on the second drive.

Ahh, but with the PC-CARD stuff, you don't worry about adress cnoflict resolution. You have a bunch of IRQ's and an address block of yours to do with as you please, and you simply look in the card for a match in your open address space that also matches a free IRQ and then your in fat-city.

Windows95 does this. Conflict resolution rears it's ugly head. 8-(. You handle it by disabling all PNP devices, then doing an ISA (motherboard) equipment detect (it's possible to have a PNP motherboard without a PNP BIOS, but it's rare enough to ignore). Assuming you have drivers for all motherboard devices, you then conflict resolve the PNP devices into the remaining space (followed by [or following] PCI, etc.).

Our present server is based on FreeBSD 2.1R, and I've been very happy with it (thank-you FreeBSD team!). Unfortunately, I'm getting questions from my colleagues re. the use of other systems (i.e. Sun Netra, Sun SPARC5, SGI WebForce Indy, etc). The feeling is that because we are not paying (through the nose, I might add), we are not getting quality, fast systems. I would like to get some hard evidence to support my arguments to continue using FreeBSD. Does anyone know of any performance benchmarks comparing FreeBSD vs. Sun, etc? Any other solid technical reasons why FreeBSD is superior (particulary with respect to Sun Netra)? Please, I am not looking for flames against any other systems, just some solid evidence to support my reccomendations. Apparently it is not enough that our system has been running quite happily for some time now. Thanks in advance. Neil Jensen Habanero Studios Ltd.

For FreeBSD, did you followed the FAQ's advice ? 8.6. I have 128 MB of RAM but it seems that the system use only the first 64 MB. What's going on ? Due to the manner in which FreeBSD gets the memory size from the BIOS, it can only detect 16 bits worth of Kbytes in size (65535 Kbytes = 64MB). If you have more than 64MB, FreeBSD will only see the first 64MB. To work around this problem, you need to use the kernel option specified below. There is a way to get complete memory information from the BIOS, but we don't have room in the bootblocks to do it. Someday when lack of room in the bootblocks is fixed, we'll use the extended BIOS functions to get the full memory information...but for now we're stuck with the kernel option. ______________________________________________________________________ options "MAXMEM=" ______________________________________________________________________ Where n is your memory in Kilobytes.

Since gcc is the native compiler in FreeBSD, it only goes looking in the standard /usr/include directory. Easiest choice: tell your users to aways add a -I/usr/local/include in the cc command line option in their makefiles Alternatively, you can rebuild gcc from the GNU sources with the default setup of searching /usr/local/include (that's what "configure" chooses by default). Note that this compiler should *not* be used for system tasks as kernel generations. Use /usr/bin/cc. What I did on my system is removing /usr/bin/gcc (which is a hard link to /usr/bin/cc) so that "cc" invokes the standard compiler and "gcc" the one I have built from GNU sources (which resides in /usr/local/{bin, include, lib, ...}) Good luck, _A_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) 1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) 1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

Go with what works for you. Or get some Sun pizza box - empty :), put it in the rack and show it to the potential customers and/or your salespersons just to make them happy. I saw Sun Netra a couple of days before (we have other Suns in place - IPC,5,10,20,Ultras). Most of ppl here know it is just generic Sun 5 with Sol 2.4. The thing I saw was slow as hell, carrying standard Netra SW package ( it was idle BTW). Openwin took 2 minutes to start ! The thing performs somehwere at 486-33 level. SGI Indy crashed3 or 4 times on me last time I saw it - some memory faults. It would even reboot in the middle of reboot. And those things are expensive ! On the other end we have examples of FreeBSD machines doing everything - from 100Mb routers talking to MAEs and millions-hits-a-day Web servers to 10.000 accounts user servers on regular Pentiums. Assuming you have decent HW , those one perform very reliably. Adn - you have full sources, you have an open comunity of developers ready for discussion. Security issues are also important. My position here is that in case with commercial systems it takes weeks/months for the vendors to deliver patches and while they are working on it,average John Doe wouldn't even know about problem! - unless he has some very close friend there,who for some weird reason didn't sign non-disclosure.

I am also going to add a tape drive for backup. Is the 1522A supported, and if so, am I likely to experience any problems using it with a 4GB tape drive (Conner MS4000MI)? If so, or if I decide to install the EIDE drive, then I would also install a 3.2 GB (compressed) tape drive, also from Conner, using the floppy interface.

IOZONE: Performance Test of Sequential File I/O -- V2.01 (10/21/94) By Bill Norcott Operating System: FreeBSD 2.x -- using fsync() Send comments to: b_norcott@xway.com IOZONE writes a 1 Megabyte sequential file consisting of 128 records which are each 8192 bytes in length. It then reads the file. It prints the bytes-per-second rate at which the computer can read and write files. Writing the 1 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...0.679688 seconds Reading the file...0.023438 seconds IOZONE performance measurements: 1542732 bytes/second for writing the file 44739242 bytes/second for reading the file The test completed too quickly to give a good result You will get a more precise measure of this machine's performance by re-running IOZONE using the command: iozone 28 (i.e., file size = 28 megabytes) Although iozone seems very inaccurate at such high speeds, sometimes I get 33MB/s, sometimes 44MB/s, but never anything in between. I guess that 0.023438 seconds isn't really accurate to 1us, more like 1/128 second (as the 33MB/s give 0.03125 (1/32) seconds).

I was under the impression that since FreeBSD had support for the Pro Audio Spectrum family of SCSI controllers, and that SCSI based hardware was very standard, that I would have no problem attaching a SCSI tape drive to my sound card. However, I have heard from two sources (including a Walnut Creek CDROM flyer) that the SCSI host adapter on Pro Audio Spectrum cards are only for CDROMs. I already have an IDE CDROM working fone with FreeBSD. Does anybody know of quality tape drives that work with my SCSI adapter?

In Unix, everything is a file, so you can just use functions like open(), read() and write() to communicate with a modem, for example (and perhaps a call to tcsetattr() to configure it). Any good book or resource related to Unix programming should have examples of how to use these functions.

What that means is that named found a nameserver which claims to be authoratitive for a domain, but gave a non-authoratitive answer. This is most commonly a nameserver configuration problem at THEIR end, but can have other reasons. Nothing you should really worry about.

Usually after I clean the filesystems by doing several fsck's, then I can login via ppp and have no problem. An hour or so ago it happened again, with the fs's _clean_. Then minutes ago, it happened yet again. Anybody have any clues?

All I can give you is a testimonial on intel based machine unices - ok, just about one. We went with that same logic above and purchased SCO Unix. The only think I can say SCO unix does without fail is crash at night when you are in bed, on systems you have to get out of bed to fix. Also, when you ask for support, you pay big bucks (and I mean if you dont have a contract its $300 for ONE question) and usually dont get a good answer. FreeBSD is not perfect, but there are far fewer problems, they get fixed pretty fast, you get speedy and helpful help both in usenet and on this list, and you always can FIX IT YOURSELF in a worse case because you have source. I also note it is much faster that sco's open server 3 - I have not seen SCO 5 because I frankly have had enough of SCO. And just for the record, Im not one of the developers, nor am I sleeping with or been paid by any of them to say any of this! :) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 13 14:16:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA18888 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Jun 1996 14:16:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.fsl.noaa.gov (gatekeeper.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.131.181]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA18880 for ; Thu, 13 Jun 1996 14:16:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from emu.fsl.noaa.gov (kelly@emu.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.60.32]) by gatekeeper.fsl.noaa.gov (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA23287; Thu, 13 Jun 1996 21:16:40 GMT Message-Id: <199606132116.VAA23287@gatekeeper.fsl.noaa.gov> Received: by emu.fsl.noaa.gov (1.40.112.3/16.2) id AA023370599; Thu, 13 Jun 1996 15:16:39 -0600 Date: Thu, 13 Jun 1996 15:16:39 -0600 From: Sean Kelly To: kline@tera.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <199606132048.NAA05779@athena.tera.com> (message from Gary Kline on Thu, 13 Jun 1996 13:48:46 -0700 (PDT)) Subject: Re: still hanging up...

After the FreeBSD booting sequence there is a request for LOGIN and PASSWORD. I have no idea what I should enter. The PC is not on a network. I have tried several entries, i.e. guest, blank, anonymous, etc, nothing has worked so far. Any ideas?? 2. There are two hard disk drives on the system. Both use the same IDE port with one being configured as the master, the other as the slave. One disk is loaded with Windows 95, the other with FreeBSD. I am unable to select which disk to boot from at startup. The only way I can make a choice is to manually configure the disk I want to boot from as the master. When I boot from the FreeBSD disk, I seem to have the option of booting from disk1 or disk2 (by pressing F1 or F5). However,whichever PF key I press the system boots from the FreeBSD disk (disk1)! I would like to have the system set up so I could boot into either FreeBSD or Windows 95. I am new to unix and FreeBSD so I may have overlooked something that is incredibly obvious to someone with experience. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

I am running Windows NT 3.51 Workstation. The file system is NTFS. I am fully aware that FreeBSD and NetBSD are independent operating systems. Duh! Seeing as I'm running FreeBSD on a machine already and am an administrator on several other machines, I think I would know that. What my question was is whether or not tere are any utils. similar to fips which will allow a non-destructive partitioning of a harddrive w/ NTFS on it and then also I wanted to know if anybody has had success porting an NTFS partition. I realize that the second questions is probably yes as both Free and Net BSD simply install their own file systems over it. However, does the boot manager allow a choice of booting to WinNT (I know you can boot into DOS/Windows)? These are the questions I meant to ask.

You need to boot Windows95, shut down to MS-DOS, and use the DOS install program for osbs to get it on the first drive. Both of these questions are covered in the handbook, online at www.freebsd.org, or it comes with all new CDROM's printed after earlier this year.

No, since there is no PD software capable of writing to an NT partition to tell NT that it has been shrunk without irreversibly damaging the NT partition. 1b) Can Linux partitioning tools do this? No. There is no PD software capable of writing to an NT partition to tell NT that it has been shrunk without irreversibly damaging the NT partition. 2a) Can FreeBSD or NetBSD mount NT file systems? No, not at the present time. The Linux NTFS code has been ported but it's not being distributed (which means the answer to the question "can I have a copy?" is "No, you can't have a copy, that's what 'not being distributed' is all about"). 2b) Can Linux? Yes, but it can't write them. You could port the code yourself pretty easily, if you wanted read-only mounts that badly. 3a) Can the BSD-supplied boot managers boot NT? Supposedly yes. I haven't been able to make it work, and I've spent more than a little time at it. 3b) Can the NT boot manager boot FreeBSD? Yes. You have to make a FreeBSD boot sector image; there are instructions on how to do this in the handbook on www.freebsd.org.

DISK 1: 547MB IDE with BIOS translating geometry (no software trans) Win95 on there. DISK 2: 255MB, no trans necessary, empty, want FreeBSD on it. I want to devote the whole 255MB to FreeBSD (swap+a root partition). This is on the 2nd physical disk. Now, I know the boot manager would have to go on DISK1, but I can't seem to find a stright answer about whether the boot manager will like this. It would need to boot DISK1 and DISK2 (2 OS's). The reason I'm wondering is because I've heard of problems with large hard disks. I seem to be in a sort of unique situation in that I'm not installing the OS to the large hard disk, but the boot manager has to go there. My question is if the boot manager will work right. It would need to boot Win95 on the large disk (the whole disk) and FreeBSD on the small disk. Any ideas? -Tom ace@castle.net P.S. Please reply directly, I'm not on the mailing list.

Do the devices /dev/mem and /dev/kmem exist? They should be something like: crw-r----- 1 root kmem - 2, 0 Mar 28 23:40 /dev/mem crw-r----- 1 root kmem - 2, 1 Mar 28 23:40 /dev/kmem When something stops working like this, you have to ask yourself what you did between now and when it last worked. This is why a lot of people with large scale admin setups keep logs of things they do as root (or whatever acct they use for doing system administration) so that if something breaks, they can see what they've done recently.

The overhead of additional aliased addresses has been proven to be minimal. Someone aliased over 4000 addresses to an ethernet interface and eventually stopped because he got bored!

If you are referring to something that would give you the ability to recall commands from a history/buffer using cursor keys, and re-edit them, and reissue them and something that allows you to define "macros" (command aliases) -- there isn't a separate utility to do that under FreeBSD (or any version of Unix). These are built-in features of most *ix shells. I'd suggest bash (as having these features bound to keys that are closest to what a DOSKEY user would expect). If you continue to work in DOS on this or other machines -- I *highly* recommend that you try 4DOS. If you are used to using Norton Commander in DOS then you'll want to get a copy of Midnight Commander for *ix. If you preferred XTree there is an analogous package for *ix ('utree'?) -- but I haven't used either enough to recommend either of them (they did look like similar interfaces -- I just never liked either of them; whereas I used to be *the* Norton Commander support specialist for Symantec).

Evidently, if I'm using interface ed0, /etc/start_if.ed0 will be run before doing the ifconfig using the sysconfig parameters. For what I want to do, this means putting all the ed0 interface configuration in that file. No big deal; I can just leave the ifconfig_ed0 blank and it'll do what I want. However, it'll then report the interface twice in the bootup, which is a trivial annoyance. To eliminate it, how about instead of: ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args} putting this: if [ -z ${ifconfig_args} ]; then echo Missing sysconfig entry for ${ifn}. elif [ ${ifconfig_args} != NO ]; then ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args} fi That'll also get the boot script to complain if one of the ifconfig_ values is missing.

Sounds like the servers are not spawning.. so here are a couple of tests: 1. telnet to the 23 port... if you get the sendmail banner.... then it is able to spawn. You should be able to spawn new processes. If not you need to check and see how many are running and how many are configured in the kernel. You should also check and see how many pty's are configured in the kernel. And last but not least make sure that there is room in the root directory. The generic kernel config has only 16 ptys. 1.5 Make sure that inetd is running 2. login to the non-spawning machine at the console and then have someone try to telnet... watch the processes using top and see if telnetd gets spawned... It sounds like it is. If not... use 'netstat -a' and see if you get a line like : tcp 0 0 *.telnet *.* LISTEN If this line does not exist, check for blank lines in /etc/services... there should NOT be any. if you kick inetd ( 'kill -HUP' inetd's pid ) and then look at the log files ( /var/log/messages ) any errors should be reported there. 3. Check and make sure that login is getting spawned... it sounds like it is not... you will want to check and make sure that login is working by running it from the command line.

I had to reset the machine's setup, because the PCI cards couldn't get an IRQ allocated to them. This made Win95 boot just fine, but FreeBSD would get stuck while fsck-ing. If I'd boot single-user and fsck manually, it would get stuck later on, always with the drive LED on. I decided to reinstall FreeBSD. When I try to install, either from the EIDE CDROM, or from a DOS partition, the installation hangs when copying files into /usr/bin (usually while copying gcc). The frustrating thing is that before that reboot-incident I installed FreeBSD from the CDROM with no problem whatsoever. The configuration is : a DEC Venturis 5100, 100Mhz Pentium, dual EIDE controller with a primary DOS partition and the BSD root, /var and swap on /wd0, another DOS partition and the BSD /usr partiton on /wd2, and a CDROM as the slave on the first channel. I also have a DE435 and an Adaptec 2940 on the PCI (nothing connected to the SCSI). Any help would be appreciated.

If you are doing transfers through the main IP > address, the transfer rate shouldn't be affected (if I remember right) Wrong on two counts: 1) There is no such thing as an `alias list'. There is an `address list'. 2) For every packet received, the system much search (potentially) the entire address list (potentially twice) to determine whether it should accept or forward/drop the packet. In 2.1 and -stable, the system must in addition search the entire address list to determine whether packets being sent are broadcasts or not. (Structurally, it would have been far better for the API to be more like the multicast API, where you use the same address and a special setsockopt() to set the outgoing interface.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I have a little tcl thingy that does this. The easiest way to check whether the connection is up is to check whether the lockfile exists. I check whether /var/spool/lock/LCK..cuaa3 exists in my case. Of course, this relies on the fact that PPP is the only thing that uses that device on my system and that PPP is pretty good at releasing the lock even if it dies oddly. -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 14 07:59:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA20603 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Jun 1996 07:59:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dada.kaizen.net (dada.kaizen.net [206.27.236.38]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA20595 for ; Fri, 14 Jun 1996 07:59:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost by dada.kaizen.net via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/940406.SGI.AUTO) id KAA17127; Fri, 14 Jun 1996 10:57:53 -0400 Date: Fri, 14 Jun 1996 10:57:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Mike Newell To: Gary Kline cc: FreeBSD Questions Mailgroup Subject: Re: still hanging up...

Dave, You can find a list of secondary servers at: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.html If you still cannot find a secondary server that is easily reachable from your site, you could use a higher stratum server near your network (ask your provider, for example). This other URL points to useful NTP information: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ It seems to be the best NTP Web page available now. Hope this helps.

Actually, I did so shortly after sending off the note to the list. I then remade the devices but STILL couldn't access the tape drive. dmesg told me that when I had rebooted the machine this morning (becasue it had hung last night, which was the start of all this) the Adaptec card had for some reason not seen the tape drive. That's never happened before. So, I rebooted the machine and ran the baqckup, which worked fine. I'm still curious as to what happened to the device files. I've seen this happen a number of times on our HP9000 when people use the wrong flags with tar but I've been using this same backup script without a problem for weeks. > >The same thing happened earlier in the week when I tried to MAKEDEV tty. > > Ok...# Terminal ports: > # tty* general purpose serial ports > # cua* dialout serial ports > # ttyA* Specialix SI/XIO dialin ports ('*' = number of devices) > # cuaA* Specialix SI/XIO dialout ports > # ttyD* Digiboard - 16 dialin ports > # cuaD* Digiboard - 16 dialout ports > > So which tty are you trying to make? ... The dump report specified that /dev/tty was the one with the problem and after replacing it with a copy from a previous backup I no longer got the error.

If you are using the Adaptec PCI SCSI Card AHA-2940/45, please set at 'Medium' (for the Local Memory Detect Point). That should do the trick. If not, then disable the PCI Byte Merge. If that still does not solve the problem, then flash your bios to the latest one and try again. ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || PO BOX 16627 Cyrix 686s now available! || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 14 09:26:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA25980 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Jun 1996 09:26:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from netcom6.netcom.com (hawk2@netcom6.netcom.com [192.100.81.114]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA25974 for ; Fri, 14 Jun 1996 09:26:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from hawk2@localhost) by netcom6.netcom.com (8.6.13/Netcom) id JAA27007; Fri, 14 Jun 1996 09:26:48 -0700 Date: Fri, 14 Jun 1996 09:26:48 -0700 (PDT) From: hawky/Hawksmom Subject: I am still having modem problems To: questions@freebsd.org 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 was able to use the modme viauser ppp's 'term' feature. but after getting my local ethernet working, my modem was no longer useable.

Not sure, but Informix SE and Informix ESQL/C work fine as SCO binaries *as long* as you have the static versions or have the SCO libraries in /compat/ibcs2/lib/* on a -current box. Things work *much* better in -current than in -stable, and I recently fixed a couple of bugs with the socket() support code in -current.

I never payed attention to what sio* it was on when it was working, but now I see it on sio1, though I can't figureout how it got changed. Now it doesn't work and said 'failed to open modem' I made the changes you suggested and now when I run term, it goes into term mode, but I can't type anything into it, and I can't close or kill the ppp process. I have even (as root) tried kill -9 and that didn't work I end up suspending out so I can have the xterm back.

When a user logs off and then tries to re-log within a reasonable delay from another machine on the local network, the login will be ingored for a very long time (10-60 seconds seems typical). I checked the /etc/inetd.conf to make sure it was okay: ---- /etc/inet.conf #login stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rlogind rlogind login stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/tcpd rlogind ---- I've recently added the tc_wrappers port, hence the tcpd entry (it works great, BTW). Contrary to the setup, it seems to behaving as though it had been setup as 'wait' instead of 'nowait'. As a test, I logged in from the other machine and then logged off and periodically ran netstat. This is what I see: ---- connection active, test is from port 1022 ---- Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 rigel.login orionsys.com.1022 ESTABLISHED ---- 1022 just logged off ---- tcp 0 0 localhost.hermes localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.login orionsys.com.1022 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.1235 204.162.115.56.rwhois FIN_WAIT_2 ---- logged off several seconds ago ---- tcp 0 0 localhost.1249 localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.login orionsys.com.1022 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.1235 204.162.115.56.rwhois FIN_WAIT_2 ---- logoff +10 seconds ---- tcp 0 0 localhost.1250 localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.login orionsys.com.1022 TIME_WAIT ---- logoff +30 seconds ---- tcp 0 0 localhost.1253 localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.1252 localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.login orionsys.com.1022 TIME_WAIT ---- logoff +45 seconds ---- tcp 0 0 localhost.1256 localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.1255 localhost.domain TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 rigel.login orionsys.com.1022 TIME_WAIT ---- finally gone! over 60 seconds later ---- udp 0 0 localhost.domain *.* udp 0 0 rigel.domain *.* This is somewhat trimmed down.. it was running with 2 other users using TinTin.

Ignoring the packet filter and the firewall code.... There is a loop that looks through in_ifaddr in ipintr. It takes about 7 tests/address. Even with caching, each of them is going to require at least one memory access, and at 60ns/access, that's 420ns. Assuming random access to the list, 250 addresses require 125 accesses, or 52 microseconds, conservatively and on average, to search that list. A 1500 byte ethernet packet takes 1.2 milliseconds, so I'm spending about 4% of a packet time in that loop alone. Alternately, as I'm doing perhaps 80 packets/second, that's .4% of the time the system is spending in that loop alone. This isn't catastrophic but it isn't especially wonderful, either.

But your provider does not have a route to your client from itself, and since it doesn't know where the packet came from (it shouldn't) it receives the ping packet but has no route back to you. You have to get your provider to route any packets to your network via your server, which is a no-no since he shouldn't route packets from those addresses in the first case. You can't start your own Intranet with all your machines 'on the Internet' this way. You have to use something like SOCKS which makes all of your machines 'appear' to be coming from one IP address.

I have some concerns using it with FreeBSD, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to avoid the additional cost of a SCSI version of the same drive and that of a SCSI controller card, at the same time I don't want to spend less money on something that is known _not_ to work. Is anyone using a IDE 8x CDROM with FreeBSD?, if so what brand? had any problems? I have seen statements such as "All non-SCSI cards are known to be extremely slow compared to SCSI drives.", does this include the EIDE controller built into most new motherboards? & is this still true? is there nothing I can do to get the performance I should expect? Also is the statement "ATAPI compatible IDE CD-ROMs (should be considered experimental)", still true? I thought I saw something about a new driver or something that integrates IDE CDROM's with the system or did I mis-understand something? Thanks for any help, -Troy- P.S. I have just subscribed to the hardware mailing list hoping that I might catch some discussions about the SMP effort. I am also getting a new Tyan Tomcat II (Dual CPU board; I'll start with only one CPU though) and I am interested in running the second CPU with FreeBSD.

I'm having trouble getting the system to recognize the additional trays. My install sets up a "cd0a" and a "cd0c" with minor device numbers of 0 and 2 respectively. If I mount cd0c, I get the first tray (as with cd0a). I'm assuming there is a simple answer on multi-LUN support under FreeBSD, I just haven't found it. If you can help, let me know. I am familiar with compiling kernels under FreeBSD, so you need only indicate the additional steps, if that is required.

I haven't really been following this though. Internal modem I _assume_. What kind of Serial IO board do have? What ports are enabled/disabled on it? (Are you PHYSICALLY sure) To be honest it sounds to me like com1 is disabled and com2 is not disabled on your io board! But your modem is set for com2. thus a conflict! My suggestion is to make sure com1 on the IO board is _enabled_ and com2 is _disabled_. Then set your modem for com2. Access it via /dev/cuaa1. Not to start a war, But It's been my experiance that modems don't like odd port numbers! Technically I don't see how that could be, But Many times have I moved a modem from com1/com3 to com2/com4 on systems that act weird only to find that the problem dissapears! Of course this is Dos/Winbloze experiance! Does your modem have switches assessable externally? I have seen them get bumped while pluggin in the PH line! I have made it a pratice in my business to put tape over these access holes to prevent customers from blindly sticking thier PH line in them and trashing the switch settings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

Read the RFC's, or /etc/hosts ... net 10.a.b.c is reserved, and CANNOT be routed onto the internet.

Your ISP won't have a route saying to send net 10 destined packets to your gateway. You probably also don't have packet forwarding enabled in your kernel. Solution: use proxy servers on your gateway box, don't try and route net 10. Alternatively, get more IP addresses allocated to you by your ISP.

Now why would you want to do that? :-) Seriously, it's a question you should ask yourself: about the only reason you would have to want to uninstall FreeBSD is to use the disk space for something else. When you do that, FreeBSD is dead and gone. Under these circumstances, you don't need to uninstall it, you just install whatever other product (a different BSD flavour?) you want to put in its place.

(Amoungest other things :) Is sendmail the proper tool for this! I've read the man page and Nemeth but I can't seem to make it work! At least from Winbloze stations. Only os I have to send tests from! I really can't elaborate with error messages as Winbloze is to stupid to give details! It just tells me: Cannot connect to xxx, make sure your account info is accurate. On the FBSD box: ``user@localhost`` works. ``user@host.domain`` works ``user@domain`` doesn't work. Produces errors in maillog that say something about routes back to myself. Yet I can ftp, telnet, http to domain and it works! ie: http://domain http://www http://www.domain I don't know if that means if anything, Just though I'd throw it out there! sendmail is right out of the box! except for one minor change: /etc/sysconfig sendmail_flags="-bd" versus sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" I do have a HD on the shelf that has FBSD 2.0r on it and could stuff it in a system for testing if need be! I really don't want to go through this to test! Just praying that some kind soul will assist.. :) I hope to be able to get FBSD to automajically send/retrive my mail from my ISP. Yet be able to send/read from any workstation on the lan. In a store and forward sort of way I guess. I also plan on using the FBSD box as a gateway (I think gateway is what I want??) to also allow any of my workstations access to the internet via FBSD ppp connection! For web crawling, etc... etc... My ISP passes out dynamic IP's. I don't have a valid IP or domainename! user ppp is installed and working. (No protection yet, So I don't leave home :) Anybody interested in pointing out the path I should take to accomplish the above goals? I would surly appreciate the help.

That should happen automatically. Have you checked that the terminators are all set up correctly, and that the SCSI ID doesn't conflict with something else on the chain? If you have a host adapter just for this device, is the adapter showing in dmesg? Some SCSI host adapters need to be specified in the kernel config, but you haven't described what you have.

I used to have Win95 and FreeBSD-2.1.0R on it. About two weeks ago, Win95 crashed real bad, and the BIOS said I have to reconfigure the system. After resetting almost all BIOS settings to default, I got Win95 to boot, but FreeBSD wouldn't. I am now reinstalling FreeBSD (after removing the old partitions) and the machine hangs dead after copying about 10% of bin with the drive light on. The output vty doesn't show any errors, and the sysmptoms are the same both for CDROM installation and MSDOS-partition installation. I tried installting it as a second partition on the same disk with Win95, or on a disk of its own. No luck both ways. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You could use gas, for instance (GNU assembler, a part of GCC.) As to why you *don't* want to do any pure assembly, see the -questions archives from about a month ago.

The machine is also connected to a Lan. The nodes on such lan have no direct routes to the internet, but can reach the Freebsd box to fulfill various operations, WWW, ftp, etc, or use it as a proxy. Sometimes it happens the modem is left off by accident or other reasons (can't grab the line). When this happens, in the event that someone on the lan does an rlogin, telnet, ftp, whatever *except ping*, to the Freebsd machine, then he has to wait exactly 75 seconds before the network operation can be thoroughly achieved. As an exception, the ping always works promptly. No doubt that 75 seconds is not a funny number, but a well defined value, possibly related with a redial timeout or so. Can somebody tell which value is that, and which way to follow to circumvent the undesired behavior? Thanks for any suggestion.

The solution for me in that case was to set tcp_extensions=NO in /etc/sysconfig on both machines. Apparently the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644 TCP options were broken on our terminal server software. I believe the latest revision of the software has fixed this problem. cheers, Carey ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! ========================================================================= From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 15 06:38:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA25029 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 06:38:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wedge.its.utas.edu.au (cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au [131.217.10.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA25022 for ; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 06:38:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.1/8.6.6) id XAA15302; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 23:38:20 +1000 (EST) Date: Sat, 15 Jun 1996 23:38:20 +1000 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au To: Branson Matheson cc: FreeBSD-Questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: User PPP question In-Reply-To: <199606141136.HAA07912@garion.hq.ferg.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 On Fri, 14 Jun 1996, Branson Matheson wrote: > -------- > > Carey Nairn uttered with conviction: > >Hi all, > > > >is there a way of determining whether an interface is connected > >(particularly tun0) without trying to send something (e.g. ping > >packets) across the interface ?

Unfortunately, the code is not compatible > with Intel mnemonics and syntax. Here's an example: .... Thanks much for your input and example. I'm a tad disappointed however. I'd hoped to be able to use the familiar INTEL 80x86 mnemonics! I've found NOTHING locally in the way of UNIX programming books and still find great difficulty using the OS's man pages. The reason I'm so interested in assembly code is because I developed a few C callable modules for DOS using MASM. They were simple-but-fast graphics routines that I've been able to use on nearly ANY C compiler. I'd hoped to be able to use the same source (with a few mods) and re-assemble them and use them in attempting to port some of my stuff to UNIX. (WHAT WAS I THINKING ???!) I went that route in DOS because I found it to be more 'portable' between compilers, as compiler vendor's graphics libraries varied greatly. I've been looking through the man pages and reading header files (a few) to see if there's any provision for graphics / screen routines using the GNU compiler. So far I've found none. ( Do they even exist ???) The C / C++ route is probably a better way to go as (and it's been said 1000+ times) the compiler most always generates better code than the human does. Though I've found C graphics to be slower than assembler graphics ( and larger in size ). I'll keep looking for some good literature on programming UNIX. Thanks again!

On certain occasions, the swapper doesn't seem to "release" or flush when I exit apps, i.e. I can load a lot of stuff and the swap increases (understanably), and then when I exit those apps, it doesn't flush. On a release machine, I used to be able to manually flush and it would be lower (consistently).

This program doesn't read the subject line, so don't worry about that. The format of the commands to majordomo is one line per command. A real useful one is: help If you send help, it will send you (fairly rapidly) a nice little informative writeup on how to use majordomo administered mailing lists. Another command that you might find useful is "lists", which returns a list of the different mailing lists that the majordomo you mailed to handles. You'd want to send this, so you can decide which of the lists you might want to subscribe to. If I can make a suggestion pointed at users new to the FreeBSD mailing lists, they are sometimes very, very active, and if you subscribe to several lists at once, you might be shocked to find several hundred pieces of mail in your mailbox the next day. You probably want to be careful in how many you subscribe to, and check your mail every day. To actually subscribe to a list, well, a very good choice for someone new to FreeBSD is the FreeBSD-questions list, and you'd subscribe as follows (I took your mail address from this message, you might want to modify it if you want the lists messages to go elsewhere): subscribe FreeBSD-questions elkholy@sc.soficom.com.eg If you send stuff at the end of your messages, you can expect majordomo to get confused, and send you the "help" message automatically. Avoid this by making the last command "end", so majordomo doesn't continue scanning for commands into your .sig. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 15 11:42:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA08508 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 11:42:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from shaman.lycaeum.org (SHAMAN.LYCAEUM.ORG [206.54.74.27]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA08503 for ; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 11:42:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (edmond@localhost) by shaman.lycaeum.org (Partyon/dude!) with SMTP id MAA04103; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 12:44:16 -0600 (MDT) Date: Sat, 15 Jun 1996 12:44:15 -0600 (MDT) From: "Andrew N.

This probably wouldn't work anyway - accessing any hardware directly is not very easy under Unix, and with good reason. The easiest way to do it under X is to look into things like Tcl/Tk. There are graphics libraries like PEX or GKS available. PEX comes with X; I submitted a port for an X version of GKS a while back but never heard any more about it (must get around to re-submitting it sometime). These are both international standards, so (in theory) any program you write using them should be portable. Neither of these are going to be as fast as assembler, but that's the price you pay for being portable! -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk jraynard@FreeBSD.ORG From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 15 16:56:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA24846 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 16:56:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from oneway.com (oneway.com [204.148.144.42]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA24840 for ; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 16:56:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (jaykuri@localhost) by oneway.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id SAA15898 for ; Sat, 15 Jun 1996 18:55:49 -0500 Date: Sat, 15 Jun 1996 18:55:49 -0500 (CDT) From: Jason Kuri To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Question about Routing, and IP 'source' on Multi-IP machine.

Everything Is working fine, and all machines can get out to the world via the FreeBSD gateway. However, If I am actually using the gateway machine, The IP of the PPP tun0 interface is shown as the source of all connections. Is there any way to make this the IP of the Ethernet interface? I ask because the IP's are connected with different domains names, and some machines that I access (such as NNTP hosts) only allow connections from my LAN domain. Also, On a semi-related note, I am using IIJPPP in auto mode to achieve dial on demand. However, Periodically, usually after a few connects and disconnects, the PPP process will die. At this point I will have to restart it manually in order for the connection to be re-established. Has anyone seen similar behavior? And if so, do you have any suggestions to overcome this?

What if the floppy in /dev/fd0 is not an MSDOS floppy? amd currently doesn't have any notion of binding devices to filesystem types---that's the job of the system administrator writing the map file---and I would object strongly if this were broken. > There is no reason just to > special case CD9660 devices. I never said anything about devices. I said it should know how to mount CD9660 /filesystems/. There is no earthly reason (except that nobody has written the fifteen lines of code to do it) why one should not be able to simply write `type:=cd9660' in one's map file and be done with it. > It would be nice to handle generic > removable media actually, so you can run Iomega Zip & so on under > AMD. It already does, perfectly well thank you very much, by not doing anything at all. You write a map file describing what to mount and where, and it does the appropriate thing. That is its only job. It is not intended to sit there and buzz the drive every thirty seconds to see if you've stuck something in there, like SGI's Workspace does; if you want a program to do that, go write one. It doesn't belong in amd. -GAWollman -- Garrett A. Wollman | Shashish is simple, it's discreet, it's brief. ... wollman@lcs.mit.edu | Shashish is the bonding of hearts in spite of distance.

Ok, short of recompiling all of my software with a hard-coded sockaddr and bind(2), is there any way to do this? No is an acceptable answer.

It even works...the only problem is the last message it sends to the client is 200 your new password please. If the client sends the newpassword their password gets changed but the client doesnt get told about it...eventually Eudora will just time out. I have used telnet localhost poppassd from the command line just to check it isnt just Eudora but this has the same problem... When poppassd is in this "hung" state a ps -auxww | grep passwd reveals: root 436 0.0 8.0 252 532 ?? IEs 2:08PM 0:00.26 passwd Any ideas?

Note that NTP doesn't do averaging for the actual time setting operation; it does some statistical filtering to choose which site to set from, but still only uses one at a time... It also assumes that your system clock runs at a pretty constant rate; that seems true for FreeBSD on the normal platforms but NOT for SGI Irix 5.2 (and seems as bad for 5.3, though they swore up & down that they would fix the time problems...) Some versions of sunos and solaris did time very badly on multiprocessor systems; 5.5 (2.5) seems pretty stable in most ways. Most of the freebsd systems I have anything to do with run 80-90 ppm slow. If you're using the kernel PLL it'll handle that fairly well, otherwise you may need tickadj. >You can find a list of secondary servers at: > >http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.html >If you still cannot find a secondary server that is easily reachable from >your site, you could use a higher stratum server near your network (ask your >provider, for example). The secondarys in that list are spread all over the country; note that the net regions given for each site's connectivity are probably no longer current (UNLV is net-closer to us in Pasadena than UCLA, as are some bay area sites, for example; some texas sites are about the same). You could use one of ours (I try to keep them at st 3, though): ns.clubnet.net (MCI connection in Los Angeles; usually slow to cerfnet, ns3.clubnet.net sprint,and agis) ns.altadena.net (now MCI but probably soon AGIS) ns.interworld.net (AGIS connection in Los Angeles) ns2.interworld.net I don't block ntpq queries so you can find out what stratum we're at on each of those boxes at any given time. The system I'm writing from runs NTP at st 3 but shouldn't be used for clock setting as it's on a 28k connection with a (partial) news feed and has clock jitter of a few hundred millisecs with a 15-20 minute period (see our feed's nntpsend crontab entry :-). These connectivity problems may (hope, hope, hope) change if/when the politics surrounding mae-la ever get settled :-( One of our sites *may* acquire a GPS+PPS source pretty soon hung at the end of a T1 from a routing site. This will set the computer clock to higher precision than it can support :-) (see w3iwi's articles on the Motorola PPS card; it gives 40-50ns jitter in position-hold mode if enough birds are visible. For about half that price there is a Garmin card-level unit with a PPS output (but the serial is NMEA only; that is still adequate to set the clock to much higher precision than the computer+os can use.)). >This other URL points to useful NTP information: > >http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ > >It seems to be the best NTP Web page available now. > >Hope this helps. It should... For more particular info on time in general, there are the NBS site and the USNO site (the latter is http://www.usno.navy.mil/ and follow links to the "directorate of time". I don't remember the NBS one but it shouldn't be hard to find.). -- Pete
