There is great document that accompanies samba telling you about the tunning options, the one I've found useful is to put socket options = TCP_NODELAY in your smb.conf ccd also helps you to push the performance further. We get 3.5 to 4 megabytes a second from the server per client over ATM NICs on the win95 machines and 100 meg ethernet on the server. I think that's pretty much the limit how much win95 can sustain.

The Handbook has an entry on how to use the ports; in this case, I would strongly advise against it as X is *huge* and compiling it will take several hours (and hundreds of MB of disk space). Instead, just swap CDROMs and do something like # cd /usr # tar xzvf /cdrom/dists/XF86312/X312bin.tgz ... for all the X components you wish to install (there's a README file on the CD that explains what they all are and which ones are mandatory). > How do I get BootEasy (or any bootmanager for that matter) to boot > DOS from my 2nd IDE disk?

If you could please help me. Thanx > --Mike Doran did you look at http://www.freebsd.org? there is a lot there. However: You need to ftp from 2.1.5-RELEASE everything in /bin and /floppies. put them on your DOS partition under C:\freebsd\bin and C:\freebsd\floppies. This is for a minimal install. You can always add more later. If you don't have a DOS partition, you may save yourself some time by making one. The install process is more likely to get the drive geometry right if there is a DOS partition on the disk. You may also want to get man pages and docs so that you have some guidance. Make the boot floppy as described at the above website, and when you boot from it, you will get an install menu. Choose "novice", accept any defaults possible, and when it gets to the "installation media" part, choose to install from a DOS partition. Then you will be a FreeBSD man like the rest of us.

The ahc driver is not in the user config menu because it is auto probed. The boot floppy should detect it. If it doesn't I would think that there is a conflict that prevents it from being probed. Go into to user config and disable everything that you don't need for the install. You say "Adaptec 294x on EISA Bus (Dual Channel)"? Is that a dual EISA bus system, or an Adaptec 274x dual channel adapter. The 294x isn't on an EISA bus - it's a PCI bus adapter. If your card is a 274x, then it's probably the uha device probe that is conflicting. Disable uha in user config.

It's been X11's chosen method of getting portability, much as autoconf is GNU's method. Personally, I like imake better, but I think I'm in the minority somewhat on this. The two methods are wildy different and not compatible, really. If you don't have a full XF86 setup, you might not have all the stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config, which imake REALLY needs, and is specific to your setup. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 Sun Aug 4 06:58:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA04674 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 4 Aug 1996 06:58:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from inga.augusta.de (root@inga.augusta.de [193.175.23.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA04665 for ; Sun, 4 Aug 1996 06:58:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rabbit by inga.augusta.de with uucp (Smail3.1.29.1 #1) id m0un2Ti-004cokC; Sun, 4 Aug 96 14:40 MET DST Received: by rabbit.augusta.de (Smail3.1.29.1 #1) id m0un1Rg-0009zSC; Sun, 4 Aug 96 13:34 MET DST Message-Id: Date: Sun, 4 Aug 96 13:34 MET DST X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.6 Organization: Privat Site running FreeBSD References: <199607301717.KAA18280@athena.tera.com> From: shanee@rabbit.augusta.de (Andreas Kohout) Subject: Re: digital cameras?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I have recently been having troubles trying to do the FTP install to my system. I have tried every thing i can think of, and my modem doesn't seem to want to work under com2 (com3 and com4 work, but com2 just won't go..) So.. I opted for zipping up half of my C: drive to make room for a dos partion install, FTPed the bin, doc, info, xfree86 stuff i wanted, etc.. to my dos drive.. under c:\freebsd\. I am guessing that i have the files in the right place, as when i start the actual install, it starts reading files and building the file structure. The problem is, in bin and doc, i get invalid header: checksum error and then it says (via alt+f2) /stand/cpio: cannot remove current: Is a directory errors.. The system keeps asking me if i would like to try again, with the same results. I also noticed that the transfer rate quickly dropped from 200+K/s to 15K/s.. is that from the decompressing of the .tgz files? (as i would hope). Anyway, the question is, if i am ftping the files from freebsd.org why am i getting checksum errors for most of the bin dist, and plenty of the doc dist? And more importantly, how can i get 'clean' coppies? FYI i am using WS_FTP95-lite, retrieving the 2.1.5 dist. and retrieving the entire directory for each dir i need (except the xfree86) and this is all going on on a p133 with 16M edo 256k pipeline burst machine (to help with the slowed transfer question) with a 28.8 modem doing the transfering (i don't seem to usualy have a problem with data integrity with this modem).. I would very much like to try the FreeBSD OS so i would really appriciate any help you can offer as to how to get the show on the road (short of trying to locate a CD of the dist ;).

I don't have an EISA system with the new EISA conf code, but I think that the EISA probe is quiet unless a controller is found. You might try booting with verbose (-v). Have you disabled uha in user config? This has been known to conflict with the 274x/7770 causing them not to be probed. At boot go into to user config (-c) and try disabling uha0.

It's available only from Walnut Creek CDROM. Contact them at info@cdrom.com or 1-800-786-9907. A new book, "The Complete FreeBSD", intended for bookshops has just gone to the printers. It includes the text of the first book, but it also has a little more on installing additional disks, and includes a *lot* more in the way of man pages (total page count is about 800), and the 2.1.5 CDROM set. Expect it to appear in about 6 to 8 weeks and cost about $40 (sorry, I don't know the exact values). > Which version of the OS is on the CD? 2.1R? 2.1.5R (I wish)? "Installing and Running FreeBSD" doesn't include a CD-ROM. The 2.1.5R CD-ROM should be out Real Soon Now, as I have heard.

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.

I checked the line connection and made sure that the printer is plugged into LPT1 on my box; then check my i386/conf/TAO file. And yup, everything looks kosher. lpt0 is on irq7, etc. I did the ``lptcontrol -i -u 0'' bit as mentioned in the docs. Made sure that the printer was on and functional. It is. Then I did the # lptest > /dev/lpt0 and get back the "Device busy" message. Before I risk life and limb or other injury triple checking hardware connections, can anyone suggest possible snafus? I just bought an extention cable to hook up the printer. It is likely that something somewhere is loose? or in the problem more or less arcane?

Since the package overwrote my 3.94 installation (I guess there is no way to avoid this with a package), I uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.94. Although the 3.94 port exists in the FreeBSD/incoming directory, the distfile is no longer available from Washington nor does it exist on FreeBSD; so I used the copy I had around, which worked once I did rehash and ldconfig.

The fbsd-ipx patch thats floating around out there installs no problem manually. And with only one error in a makefile when applying with patch. An easy fix. It seems it cannot find one location in one Makefile. (I forget exactly whitch one) Although currently the only use for ipx is IPXrouted.

Run FDISK. Set the active partition to something. Reboot. Be happy. :-) <<<<< Did that. Got DOS only. Non-essential: Today I reinstalled NT to get some work done, because NT setup's repair did nothing. Lost a lot of configuration stuff!!! (users, those stupid good-for-nothing program groups that you do need in the MS world). I'll still need to reinstall Service Pack 3 (with intermediate floppy juggling!), I'll probably have to reinstall all those programs for their program groups. Then there's this abominable tendency of putting non-OS files inside \winnt35-or-what-is-it: I bet I've lost those as well. Horrible. Question (for me): How can I boot FreeBSD from NT's NTLDR (what to put in BOOT.INI)? Should I instead try Linux's multi-OS boot mechanism (I'm going to try that OS anyway)? Question (for context, not really important): Where could I find a full description of the (E)IDE/FDISK issues that led to my problem (Greg Lehey's book for Walnut Creek is more like need-to-know, with provisions only for some problem situations)? And of the startup sequence for a PC? Question (for FreeBSD): Is it safe to install FreeBSD and leave the boot record alone (*will* it be left alone, how will FreeBSD got booted)? Was this a unique problem for me (specifying booteasy messing up the entire boot), or should this be pursued further (whom to contact)?

I still can't get the dos partition install to work. Yes i transfered the files in binary mode, yes i deleted the partition that freebsd is to go on with fdisk and re-did the entire partition creation from scratch. Yes the directory that contains the files is c:\freebsd\bin, c:\freebsd\doc, c:\freebsd\info etc, etc.. The insallation starts out fine. The first error i get while in the install menu based application is 'write failure on transfer (-1 bytes writen of 1024 bytes)'. So i went to the debugging screen.. lots of /mnt/stand.. stuff.. alot of cpio:.. stuff.. then we get to the first DEBUG: thingy..

Then i was prompted and asked if i would like to try to retrieve the data again, i chose yes. As soon as i chose yes, it started to extract the doc/ files.. I got another write error after a minute or two.. and the debugging screen showed.. usr/share/doc/FAQ/...html for the entire buffer up.. and the last few lines were.. gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file Again i was prompted for doc and i chose yes, and was immediately put into extracting the games files.. with a write failure, and games.aa was the file that failed the gunzip. Prompted again, chose yes, straight in to the manpages.. errors there, went to the info files.. checksum error.. started the xf86312 files, gunzip error. Then there was a panic, disks were synced, and the system rebooted.. I still don't have a root directory structure on my freebsd partition, so i am going to have to delete it again, and start over. I deleted ALL of the files i had from before and ftped (4 hours worth) a new bin, info, manpages, doc, games, and xf86312 (server, doc etc), and there were instances in AVERY group of invalid files! I have never before in the 3 years of bouncing around the net and downloading files had so much trouble with data integrity.. what is going on here? I have even downloaded a 14-MB .exe file before, with NO error, why can't i get these? Or, is there something wrong with some other part of my system that FreeBSD doesn't like, as the root file system of my dos partition seems to frustrate it (but it works fine, win95)? Well, i will be deleting ALL of the files i have, and the partition to start from scratch. If anyone has any ideas as to how i can get these files to my system (as my modem doesn't like com2, and i can't get freebsd to take it on com3, and i am painfully aware that com4 is not an option, so i can't do the ftp install) I would greatly appriciate some help here.

What a joke! Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I am trying to add my first disk to a FreeBSD system. If I am not mistaken it appears that one must: fdisk, disklabel, then newfs the disk. If this is true, then this part of FreeBSD is a joke. I thought the Linux utility was bad, but at least it is useable. Has anyone ever successfully added a disk like this? I must be wrong in my initial assessment of this situation as there would certainly be documentation on how to do this in the handbook or FAQ. Perhaps I am the only one dumb enough to need help and ask a question, but it would seem to me that this would be "frequent" (aka FAQ). Not having a method of easily repairing partitions and upgrading hardware is like running a system without passwords. Sorry if this seems like a flame, but I am incredulous. What is with all of the secrecy surrounding this issue?

Actually, it applies to both, but scsi drives all support more flexible remapping of sectors to make them all fit under 1024 cylinders, so they don't feel the pinch. BTW, the whole partition DOES NOT have to be under 1024 cylinders, just the boot sector of that partition. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 Aug 5 10:22:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA03548 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 10:22:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from george.lbl.gov (george-2.lbl.gov [131.243.2.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA03536 for ; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 10:22:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: (beattie@localhost) by george.lbl.gov (8.6.10/8.6.5) id KAA14684; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 10:22:15 -0700 From: "Keith Beattie[SFSU Student]" Message-Id: <199608051722.KAA14684@george.lbl.gov> Subject: Re: 3Qs: XFree86, BootEasy & Virt Terms To: zgabor@CoDe.hu (Gabor Zahemszky) Date: Mon, 5 Aug 1996 10:22:15 -0700 (PDT) Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199608051051.KAA01579@CoDe.CoDe.hu> from "Gabor Zahemszky" at Aug 5, 96 10:51:34 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Gabor Zahemszky wrote: > > You cannot.

Is that in the works for 2.2? FreeBSD has included support for MS-DOS filesystems for some time. This support does tend to be temperamental, particularly when used to access certain large DOS partitions. However, it can be perfectly usable (at least for simple data transfers) if set up optimally. That said, I am actively working on a replacement filesystem, which includes VFAT (ie. Windows 95 long filename, etc) support. As this is a part-time project, I can't absolutely guarantee availability in 2.2, but I am currently working with that in mind. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 5 12:01:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA11478 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 12:01:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from seagull.rtd.com (root@seagull.rtd.com [198.102.68.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA11470 for ; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 12:01:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dgy@localhost) by seagull.rtd.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA18473; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 12:00:52 -0700 (MST) From: Don Yuniskis Message-Id: <199608051900.MAA18473@seagull.rtd.com> Subject: Re: disklabel?

Non that I know of - what I do is a phoney install - I copy all of /etc out - use the boot diskette and say Im installing over NFS, but give it a dummy nfs path. When it hits that point, its formatted my new disk. I reboot, chmod the /etc back to what it should be, copy my saved /etc back in. It is not a good way to do things but nothing else works for me.

I've been running Samba on a FreeBSD machine serving a number of Win95 machines and originally noticed the same behavior. I eventually determined that the FreeBSD machine was sending the large samba packets to the Win95 hosts so fast that is was overflowing the Win95 machines ethernet cards and hence a large number of retransmits were happening. I upgraded the ethernet cards in the Win95 machines and all is better now. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 5 12:14:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA12309 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 12:14:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from netclub-lon.com (cosmos1.netclub-lon.com [194.72.255.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA12304 for ; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 12:14:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [194.72.255.19] by netclub-lon.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #1) id m0unV5G-000JLsC; Mon, 5 Aug 96 20:12 BST Date: Mon, 5 Aug 96 20:12 BST X-Sender: neil@cosmos1.netclub-lon.com (Unverified) Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: support@cdrom.com From: neil@netclub-lon.com (Neil I.

Both disks are bootable; when one boots, it mounts the file systems from the other. I suppose on the "old" one I could delete the files and put whatever I wanted there--e.g., move /usr/home to /home on the "other" drive or whatever. >From the descriptions of newfs that I've seen this would seem to be more straightforward--just an install, after all--and functionally equivalent, although for the price of 30 megs or so it seems nice to have both disks bootable.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello again fellow FreeBSD-ers... The following is from the INSTALL.TXT file of the 2.1.5-RELEASE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What this upgrade will attempt to do is best summarized thusly: 1. fsck and mount all file systems chosen in the label editor. 2. Ask for a location to preserve your /etc directory into and do so. 3. Extract all selected distributions on top of your existing system. 4. Copy certain obvious files back from the preserved /etc, leaving the rest of the /etc file merge up to the user. 5. Drop user in a shell so that they may perform that merge before rebooting into the new system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would seem to me the best way to do this would be to fetch the entire /usr/src subdir and 'make world' -- like I did when I went 2.1-RELEASE -> 2.1-STABLE. Anyone else try this / see a problem? Where do I find the /usr/src?

For example, when I ftp a file, it goes to my university account, not my home FreeBSD box. Also, if I run pine on my local FreeBSD box, I can't send any mail. I still can't figure out how to ftp files from the University to home. I don't know if it is something I have to configure with PPP or if I have to setup my e-mail and ftp packages to use the PPP connection. The Windoze setup was idiot-proof, so I have no experience in this at all. What am I missing here? Is there a doc or web page that will explain how to use local e-mail and ftp with ppp?

Can this be added to the FAQ cat bin.* | gzip -t - is nice and easy, but requires a fully functioning Unix box... Although I believe both these utilities have been ported to DOS. Perhaps someone with the time and inclination could knock up a batch file to do this? gzip.exe is already on the CDROM and I don't see any reason why cat.exe couldn't be added.

The 504MB limit is what 1024 cylinders works out at for IDE drives. For SCSI drives, it works out at either 1024MB or 4096MB, depending on whether you have "extended translation" (aka "support for DOS drives >1GB") disabled or enabled.

These are MORE normal settings but the card doesn't work anymore... I used -c to reconfigure AND tried a kernel recompile.. Should I just change it back? 2) I have just added a 3com Ethernet card... The FAQ says the card will work with FreeBSD if I turn PnP off but there are no obvious jumpers or switches on the card... How do I turn PnP off? 3) I have a Conner (now Seagate) TapeStor 3200 tape drive as the second device on the floppy controller. Any chance of getting FreeBSD to recognize it? I added a proper ft line to the kernel and recompiled: tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 1 But it just detects 2 1.44 floppies.

Leinweber" Message-Id: <199608052201.RAA20279@stovall.slh.wisc.edu> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: 2.1.5-RELEASE generic kernel panics looking for mythical sd1a root Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am experimenting with installing FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE on a PC with both an IDE and a SCSI disk, and have run into a boot snag. After the apparently successful install, when the generic kernel loads off of /dev/sd0s2, it panics trying to mount sd1a as root, when it ought to be mounting sd0a (or sd0s2a, to be pedantic). The hardware is a Pentium 100Mhz motherboard with Intel Triton-II chipset, 256K cache, 32MB RAM. Adapter cards include an ATI graphics ultra pro PCI video (mach64, 4MB vram); an Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI card (narrow); a 3COM 3C509B ISA ethernet card, and a soundblaster 16 pro ISA audio card. Storage devices are a 3.5" diskette, a 5.25" diskette, an 800MB IDE disk (wd0, 4 slices), 4GB SCSI disk (sd0, 9 slices), a Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM, and an HP 4mm DAT tape drive. There is a 3-button Logitech serial mouse on sio0, a Motorola Power 28.8 modem on sio1, and a Microsoft "natural" keyboard. I have too many operating systems installed (DOS, OS/2, a partition reserved for Windows-95, Windows-NT, Linux), and was trying to add FreeBSD to the mixture. The boot strategy is currently DOS MBR -> Linux LILO on wd0s2 -> FreeBSD on sd0s2. I was doing an NFS-based install off another local machine. I FTP'd the release files on Saturday 8/3/96, from ftp.freebsd.org (AKA ftp.cdrom.com). The kernel seems to boot fine off sd0s2 - the messages are identical to what I get off the boot floppy; post-install I can mount sd0a fine from the fixit floppy; and in general everything looks normal to me. (I've successfully run other versions of FreeBSD on other machines in the past.) Except that the kernel panics trying to mount the wrong root partition. It claims to be looking for sd1a, and that disk doesn't exist. Is this a bug? Can I install FreeBSD on a SCSI disk in a system with an IDE disk? Is there a way to tell a freebsd kernel where to find its root partition, analogous to the Linux "root=..." parameter? Other than this glitch, overall I was quite impressed with the install process.

Got it. The problem is that none of the core developers (that I am aware of) have access to TR networks, so support for TR isn't very easy for us to do. If someone who DOES have access to a TR network and wants support for TR in FreeBSD, I suggest they contact hackers@freebsd.org (or core@freebsd.org at a push) and offer to help, as without outside help, this is going to be a sticking point.

This is a package you can get and install; you can comment out the distributions you don't want. Since sup only gets new sources, if this is how you did it before, it won't take as long just to get the updated ones. This (and the make world and kernel recompile) leave /etc alone, so you have to do this yourself.

You're getting a login shell, not a ppp connection. It's something with ppp. If it doesn't change to capital letters, you don't have a connection. Probably the routing tables aren't getting completed. With user ppp I think you have to switch consoles to be able to do anything; then do netstat -rn; you might have to add a default route back to the university. > > The Windoze setup was idiot-proof, so I have no experience in this at all. > > What am I missing here?

Whatever mail program you use, you probably have to set it up with a "Reply to" address or you won't get answers going to the right place.

Another one for the FAQ, I think :-) # cd /usr/lib # ln -s libc.so.2.2 libc.so.3.0 (this is a slight cheat, but I wouldn't expect it to cause any problems). Basically, you're running FreeBSD-2.1.5, with version 2.2 of the shared C library, but the package was apparently compiled on FreeBSD-current, which has version 3.0 of the shared C library, so it expects to find that on any system it's run on. If it really bothers you, you can compile it yourself from the port, but it's probably not worth it. BTW ldconfig is really only useful if you've made some kind of change involving shared libraries. Basically, the run-time linker tries to keep track of which shared libraries are likely to be needed (so it can look them up more quickly); ldconfig is a tool to tell it when (and how) it needs to update its information. > Since the package overwrote my 3.94 installation (I guess there > is no way to avoid this with a package) Not very easily. You could probably track down which files the 3.94 installation had installed and copy them to a safe place before installing 3.95, but this is not exactly user-friendly. Maybe this ought to go on the pkg_add wish list...

Is that in the works for 2.2? FreeBSD 2.1.5 does indeed have support for MSDOS filesystems, but it has one or two nasty bugs; if the MSDOS filesystem was shrunk using a program called 'fips', it can result in corruption of the DOS filesystem *or* FreeBSD ones. This support is being re-written from scratch for 2.2, which should also support the new FAT32 (or whatever it's called) that Microsoft are introducing to get around one of the limitations of the original 16-bit DOS filesystem. In the meantime, the mtools package offers a simple and safe way of performing basic operation such as copying, moving and deleting files on a DOS filesystem from within FreeBSD.

You might check out the cygnus kerberos stuff (CNS), they have a pretty complete set of kerberized daemons including pop and ftp, but I'm not sure if/how you would get them outside the US. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 5 19:48:53 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA11668 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 19:48:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from orion.webspan.net (root@orion.webspan.net [206.154.70.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA11660 for ; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 19:48:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (gpalmer@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by orion.webspan.net (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA16544; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 22:48:34 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: orion.webspan.net: Host gpalmer@localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: "Robert J.

I've seen a micropolis 9Gb drive as a single filesystem over a year ago on FreeBSD, and Satoshi Asami (asami@freebsd.org) has been doing CCD (conconated disk) driver development, with filesystems much larger than 9Gb... So you're pretty safe. I think the limit in 2.1.5-RELEASE is something like 1terrabytes for a single filesystem, although performance issues to do with the FS layout may become critical before then.

I'd refer back to your old /etc (which you probably didn't back up, which you should have since your services file is now toasted). 644 makes more sense, or even 600 (does anyone really _need_ to see the maintenance scripts?).

Not again :( This problem came up a few weeks ago. I don't recall the solution. It's starting to roll through the mail archives, so some time spent there might coax it into releasing the eventual solution. Specifically giving the boot partition to the Boot: prompt (ie, "sd(0,a)/kernel") should work. I'm guessing the bootblocks may be getting confused by your IDE disks. > I have too many operating systems installed (DOS, OS/2, a partition > reserved for Windows-95, Windows-NT, Linux), and was trying to add > FreeBSD to the mixture.

The website ref will point you in the right direction. The QuickCam is a CCD 64-grey digital camera. It connects through the parallel port, receiving power through the keyboard. Free software is available to snap pictures and multiblast (er, multicast) it across the Mbone.

You can help if you like:-) I feel confident that there are papers on the subject of tcp tuning in lossy environments available online somewhere, but I'm not looking in the right places, *yet*, anyhow... As for MCI, I've told them repeatedly, and this probably affects 20% of the US Internet traffic (wild guess) and has done for about two weeks, so I doubt that my complaints are helping the cause much. They must have their own reasons not to fix it. Money, politics, something like that. MCI kills Internet in Willow Springs, claims self-defense, news at 11. Follow-up on global politics we should move to another place, as ever:-) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 5 20:32:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA14604 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 20:32:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts14-line5.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.171]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA14596 for ; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 20:32:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA00324; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 20:31:20 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 5 Aug 1996 20:31:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: randyd@nconnect.net cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: finger In-Reply-To: <199608050455.XAA17144@atlantis.nconnect.net> 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 Sun, 4 Aug 1996, Randy DuCharme wrote: > Real dumb question.... > > If I finger my account from a remote telnet session, it replies > > Permission Denied. > > Where do I look ( man pages etc ) to find the solution for this one??

Assuming the server (on the other end) supports it, get directoryname.tar will tar the contents of "directory" and send them to you.

You can however still PoP the mail off your ISP - he should have a pop server running. Use popclient (in the ports), in /usr/ports/mail/popclient I find that it works quite well. If you're sorting your mail using procmail, the newer popclient has support for a delivery agent as well. > My advice to PPP newbies is: Go for the user PPP! That's what I'm quite happily using right now. I understand though that kernel PPP is faster for operations that require raw throughput, like large ftp's, etc, etc. I'm eager to get it working, but the docs aren't all that great.

I just installed FreeBSD 2.1, and also XFree86 3.2.1. I did have some problems with my PS/2 mouse so I remade my Kernel, including it. Now I have the problem that the system gets blocked as soon as I get into xdm. I have seen in the FAQ that this problem is mentioned, but I did not get any answer, What could I do to solve this problem?. I have also a Mitsumi Atapi CD rom 6x, FX600. I cannot get it to be recognised, does anyone know if it is supported? If so, how should I rebuilt my Kernel?

A FreeBSD slice is: Sections of a partition?? So properly stated: Only the root slice needs to be under 1024. (If needed :) Is that about how it works.. I never fully understood the slice. The need to fully understand hasn't came upon me yet.. :) I'm not a SCSI guru, But it is my understanding that SCSI's access in a LBA method. ie: c:0 h:0 s:0 = LBA 0 c:0 h:0 s:1 = LBA 1 etc ... etc ... It is also my understanding that most OS's (Advanced OS's) also use a LBA method. So if your drive uses CHS, The bios has to translate OS calls to/from CHS to write/read. But like I said, I'm no guru on the internals of disk IO. I welcome the knowledge though. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...

I don't use IDE drives, and LBA refers ONLY to IDE drive remapping, so I'm just a little hazy on it. SCSI systems have no LBA as such. SCSI controllers have 2 options on remapping, depending on the size of the drive, and that essentially removes any consideration, because the remappings available move the entire drive inside 1024 cylinders. Understand that the word 'partition' has two meanings here, which is the base cause of all the confusion. Dos partitions are areas of the disk set aside and noted in partition tables. The location of the partition tables is set in stone, a standard. For Unixes, on computers OTHER THAN pc compatibles, this is also true. The trouble comes in the way the standard unix disk partitioning has been adapted to work with PC disks. FOR PC DISKS, FreeBSD makes 'partitions' or slices (same meaning here) by taking a dos partition and splitting it up. Thus, multiple FreeBSD partitions (or slices, I like slices much better for the word here) sit inside a dos partition. On an earlier machine of mine, I had 4 dos partitions, where I used partition 1 for a small dos segment, and partition 2 for FreeBSD. FreeBSD then took that partition 2, and split it into three of what it calls partitions, which has nothing in common with the dos partition table at all. FreeBSD keeps track of it's partitions using the disklabel, which might be loosely called it's equivalent of a dos partition label. The disklabel resides inside one dos partition, and defines the slices (or partitioning) that FreeBSD uses of it's dos partition. On that older system of mine, I had three FreeBSD slices, all of which sat in the second dos partition. To get a new partition, on a new disk or something, to be useful to FreeBSD, first you use your dos tool (or FreeBSD's sysinstall) to define the dos partition. That gives you an area on that disk that you can use for FreeBSD. Then, after you decide how you're going to use the FreeBSD part (how many chunks are you going to cut it into, what size, what filesystems you'll put there) then you disklabel the FreeBSD partition, whic tells FreeBSD how to use it's partition. If you're going to have any of the FreeBSD slices bootable, then make sure that slice is below 1024 cylinders. That means, of course, that at least part of the dos partition that FreeBSD is using is also below 1024. After you've disklabeled the FreeBSD slices, then you can newfs the slices so that they can be used by FreeBSD. You'll probably want to modify your /etc/fstab so that FreeBSD will use the partition the way you want, either for swapping, or for some mountable filesystem. Have I completely confused you yet? This problem wouldn't exist on, say, a DEC system, because the Unix partitioning is the base system for the disk, but for PCs, they stick the structure inside the dos partition structure, and then called it with names guaranteed to cause confusion. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 Tue Aug 6 08:32:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA24958 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 08:32:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cs.montana.edu (fubar.cs.montana.edu [153.90.192.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA24946 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 08:32:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: by cs.montana.edu; id AA32639; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 09:32:35 -0600 Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 09:32:35 -0600 (MDT) From: Justin Ashworth To: Ken Marsh Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: how to I ftp a directory tree?

NIS+ is currently in NIS compatibility mode and various yp client commands work on loo, like ypcat passwd. I am part of a netgroup, called gis1, that is part of a larger netgroup called geonet. In the /etc/hosts.equiv on loo I have, +@geonet But this entry does not seem to be sufficient to allow rlogins nor NFS mounts. If a machine is added directly to hosts.equiv, rlogins work. If I try to mount an unrestricted NFS file system, it works. Otherwise, NFS and incoming rlogins don't work. Below, I've enclosed a transcript of my local system adminstrator trying various combinations of: NIS+ group order, manually entered hostnames, and NFS export variations. Any help or suggestions appreciated as if I can't get this figured out, they'll throw me to the dogs (meaning my competitors are bragging everything works with NIS+ on their linux machines).

Although we opened rlogin for all hosts of the netgroup geonet. Maybe the NFS problem is related to this latter problem? Look at this: loo# ypcat netgroup produces no output! loo# ypmatch geonet netgroup rsl2 phys rsl1 gis1 this is all right. geonet is just a collection of other net- groups, representing the Institute's organization. loo belongs to the Abteilung of Prof. Brassel (gis1): loo# ypmatch gis1 netgroup sunlab (loo,,) (abroholos,,) (bise,,) (cyclon,,) (tramontana,,) (taifun,,) (bora ,,) (strato,,) (tropo-gw,,) (meso,,) (vacherin,,) Here you are. Maybe FreeBSD is confused by this netgroup referencing business. Let's break the hierarchy, just to see what happens, by adding a loo entry at the top of the netgroup tree. Now loo# ypmatch geonet netgroup rsl2 (loo,,) phys rsl1 gis1 but still no rlogin... and no NFS. Maybe FreeBSD does not understand the netgroup syntax of /etc/hosts.equiv? I explicitly add a hostname to /etc/hosts.equiv. Now rlogin works! Why doesn't the +@geonet entry work? The FreeBSD manpage hosts.equiv(5) states it should work. - Still no NFS. Next, I try if I can mount an unrestricted NFS filesystem. From strato, I export a scratch disk to the world. Then loo# mount strato:/spare /mnt This works! So the NFS definitively works, it's just a permission problem with netgroups. (You cannot try this, I un-exported strato:/spare again, for security reasons.) Preliminary conclusion: NIS+ compatibility mode presents the netgroup table in a way that FreeBSD doesn't understand. The fault could be on either side. But we know that it works with Silicon Graphics. Any ideas?

Wasn't being upset, your answer was legitimate and was what I needed. I have the same problem with TR.

And no one is going to run TR at home (I have 10bT just like most of the rest of us). *shrug* I'm not pushing for TR support, there are far more things I'd rather have in FreeBSD than TR support. -Steve From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 6 09:35:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA28548 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 09:35:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rocky.mt.sri.com (rocky.mt.sri.com [206.127.76.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA28543 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 09:35:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.mt.sri.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA27379; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 10:35:13 -0600 (MDT) Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 10:35:13 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199608061635.KAA27379@rocky.mt.sri.com> From: Nate Williams To: Gary Kline Cc: nate@mt.sri.com (Nate Williams), questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ``tgrep'' from Unix Power Tools In-Reply-To: <199608061545.IAA09838@athena.tera.com> References: <199608060527.XAA25668@rocky.mt.sri.com> <199608061545.IAA09838@athena.tera.com> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > > Has anyone used the short `tgrep' perl script from the UNIX > > > POWER TOOLS book?

Doug White responded: Not again :( This problem came up a few weeks ago... I'm sorry to say that it is back, and I'd call it a bug. I'm not sure if someone with two SCSI disks would have this problem; I'll have to try that experiment on another machine. ... It's starting to roll through the mail archives, so some time spent there might coax it into releasing the eventual solution. I spent a while searching the archives and didn't turn it up, but perhaps I didn't choose the right keywords to search on. Specifically giving the boot partition to the Boot: prompt (ie, "sd(0,a)/kernel") should work. I'm guessing the bootblocks may be getting confused by your IDE disks. Bravo! The kernel duely informed me that the syntax to force it to use the BIOS device 1 (i.e, the SCSI disk in a two disk IDE + SCSI computer) is: 1:sd(0,a)kernel And this works.

Once FBSD is up and running, tools for this already exist! > head quarters, Then someone (me if needed) could whip up a simple > Dos & Unix based program to read it and verfiy each file. The 2 line .bat file I proposed above basically does it already. I guess I would change it to: cksum %1.0* > %1.tmp comp %1.sum %1.tmp (I *think* %1 is DOS's version of $1) Briefly, this cksums all files in a given group (bin.*, sbin.*, etc.) *except* for the ".sum" file and the ".tmp" file of the same name (e.g., bin.sum and bin.tmp -- DOS creates bin.tmp to catch the output of the cksum command. But, if you said 'cksum %1.* > %1.tmp', DOS would pass %1.tmp to cksum, too! :-( Now, you have %1.tmp holding the computed checksums for all of the %1.0* files. Presumably, %1.sum (e.g., bin.sum) would already contain the checksums for these files -- because they were computed in the same way from the *originals* at freebsd.org. Then, 'comp' (roughly the equivalent of cmp(1)) just does a compare between the two files. Yes, there are more elegant ways to do it but this is a no-brainer... --don From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 6 10:37:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA02776 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 10:37:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from asylum.asylum.org (asylum.asylum.org [205.217.4.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA02771 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 10:37:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dlr@localhost) by asylum.asylum.org (8.6.10/8.6.9) id MAA06164 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 12:40:17 -0400 From: dlr Message-Id: <199608061640.MAA06164@asylum.asylum.org> Subject: Re: tcpwrapper logs To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 12:40:16 -0400 (EDT) In-Reply-To: from "Chris Madison" at Aug 6, 96 00:50:55 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > > > > I just read both the syslogd(8), syslog(5) manpages but which > > catergory in /etc/syslog.conf does tcpd fall under? > > %man tpcd > > //... > LOGGING > Connections that are monitored by tcpd are reported > through the syslog(3) facility.

The -T and -B switches work as follows. The first block or so of the file is examined for odd characters such as strange control codes or characters with the high bit set. If too many odd characters (>30%) are found, it's a -B file, otherwise it's a -T file. Also, any file containing null in the first block is considered a binary file. If -T or -B is used on a filehandle, the current stdio buffer is examined rather than the first block. Both -T and -B return TRUE on a null file, or a file at EOF when testing a filehandle. Because you have to read a file to do the -T test, on most occasions you want to use a -f against the file first, as in next unless -f $file && -T $file. The following test script works (under perl4.036) on Solaris 5.5 and UnixWare 1.1. It produces the `-T and -B not implemented on filehandles' error on FreeBSD (I'm running 2.2-960323-SNAP) using 4.036 or 5.002; it also fails with the same error under perl4.036 on an old Linux (1.2.x) box we have here. open (FH, $ARGV[0]) || die ("Can't open $ARGV[0] -- $!\n"); print "Text\n" if (-T FH); print "Binary\n" if (-B FH); close (FH); The clue is, no doubt, in the perl source. I haven't looked at it yet. ---- Brian Clapper .............................................. bmc@telebase.com http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/ .............

According to crontab(5), the command is executed by /bin/sh, ie it's the equivalent of typing sh my_command at the command prompt rather than ./my_command The first case doesn't need the script to have execute permissions as it's just being used as input to /bin/sh, rather than as a command in its own right. In the second case, you're using the script as a command itself, so you would need it to be an executable. (Obviously, if you put in a SHELL=/something/else line in /etc/crontab, they would be executed by the /something/else, but the principle's the same). In other words, yes, I'd expect them to work with 644 :-) > In general, are the permissions in /usr/src/etc designed to > be right, or designed to need configuration? I haven't checked this, but I think that everything in the src tree has the executable bits turned off (presumably to prevent accidents like a hacked-but-not-yet-tested script being run instead of one of the system ones).

Actually, now that I think about it, I vaguely remember FreeBSD-1.0.2 doing this before extracting them. (On the other hand, it also required you to copy everything onto the hard disk from floppies, extract them by hand and reboot twice, so let's not get too nostalgic :-) I can see problems fitting this into the download-and-extract-on-the-fly scheme of things. For instance, if you're downloading over a modem, and bin.aa is corrupted, would you really want to have to wait until everything up to bin.cx has come down before finding it out?

I used the 'view' program from within DOS to install FreeBSD. I tried installing FreeBSD without the boot floppy- the install process changed my boot blocks, but failed to boot and continue with the install (I forget the exact error message). I then proceeded to install the FreeBSD using a boot floppy (first I booted off a DOS floppy then created a FreeBSD boot floppy etc.). Well, I never really got back my NT loader. I chose NOT to install the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD (selecting instead to go into BSD when I insert the boot floppy). On rebooting the system, it hung with "non-system disk" error. I wasnt too much of a wiz with Windows NT, so didnt know how to just repair and get back my NT boot loader. Installed NT all over again, etc, etc. Might want to warn people or something. -vikas From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 6 11:36:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA07737 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 11:36:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rocky.mt.sri.com (rocky.mt.sri.com [206.127.76.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA07730 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 11:36:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.mt.sri.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA28375; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 12:35:57 -0600 (MDT) Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 12:35:57 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199608061835.MAA28375@rocky.mt.sri.com> From: Nate Williams To: Brian Clapper Cc: nate@mt.sri.com, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ``tgrep'' from Unix Power Tools In-Reply-To: <199608061813.OAA08918@telebase.com.> References: <199608061813.OAA08918@telebase.com.> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > > ./tgrep the tgrep > > > -T and -B not implemented on filehandles at (eval) line 7. > > man perlfunc > > -X A file test, where X is one of the letters listed > below. > ... > -T File is a text file. > -B File is a binary file (opposite of -T). ... > It produces the `-T and -B not implemented on filehandles' > error on FreeBSD (I'm running 2.2-960323-SNAP) using 4.036 or 5.002; it > also fails with the same error under perl4.036 on an old Linux (1.2.x) box > we have here. That's because those test requires the STDIO package that is used in the original Unix, which was re-implemented by Chris Torke in 4.4BSD. If you feel ambitious you could re-write the test using the internals of the BSD stdio. See perl/perl/doio.c, and look for 'STDSTDIO'.

Ah, I wasn't advocating putting it into the "automated" path. Rather, consider someone who has *manually* ftp'ed stuff onto their DOS box and then started to unpack it all.

I don't know for sure, but that's a good point. If I were real concerned about it, I'd write a small program that filters it out of both of those commands. Hardcode the executable to execute ps and w, which may be hidden as .ps and .w in some obscure directory. It's kind of an ugly workaround, but I doubt that disabling it is built into the code. Actually, now that I think about it, grab 'ps' and 'w' out of the source tree and just compile them without those options. That would mean chopping a simple 'cout' or 'printf' command in 'w' and a few lines that look like they cater to the '-U' option in 'ps'. Go with my second suggestion. I got carried away with that first one before I realized the obvious best solution. - Justin J.

You can start X in 16-bit mode (65,536 colors) with the line 'startx -- -bpp 16'. You can change the default resolution for 16 bpp mode in the /etc/XF86Config file. Hope that helps! - Justin J.

I'm running FreeBSD 2-2 current, with the latest (as of yesterday) sources. I've only recently picked up a problem with my CD-ROM drive (a NEC external 6x SCSI-2 drive). I've got a Adaptec AVA-1515 SCSI card, which uses the AIC6360 chipset. I've recently replaced my motherboard and processor. I've got a Cyrix 6x86 P150+ with a 512kb pipeline burst cache motherboard that uses the Intel 82439HX chipset. The Adaptec card is ISA, btw. I've only recently noticed this problem (like in the last month or so). What I've noticed is that I can't access my CD-ROM drive for either data or music. The good old mount /cdrom used to work great; now, if I type it as root, the system just stops responding. I can suspend it and/or cancel it the first time, but a process of mount /dev/cd0a is suspended in a D state. If I re-issue the command, the machine locks up. If I don't re-issue it and just wait, I get timed out errors - to the effect of Aug 6 22:15:25 chain /kernel: cd0(aic0:1:0): timed out - it doesn't stop, and just keeps cycling that message, with all other processes on the machine suspended. I've checked the hardware,scsi,current and stable lists and saw some mention of this problem, and that you had to get the drive to spin up and mount it while it was spun up. How do I get it to spin up ? Has the problem been fixed, or is it still a genuine problem ? Please reply directly, as I'm not on -scsi or -hardware. I am on -current. As an aside (I know this isn't cool, but I'm not going to write another message for a very simple query), is there support in FreeBSD for dma mode 2 for mode 4 IDE drives ? I believe there's a patch called triton.c you need to apply; I've never heard of it and don't know where you can get it, but the source was reasonably reliable (as your friends can be ;-) It apparently dramatically speeds up accesses to IDE drives that support PIO Mode 4 for those poor guys (like me) who're still running IDE and not SCSI (not out of choice).

(not ppp anymore.) I have done ftp and netscape through this PPP connection both before and after this problem occurs with Pine. Also, the problem seems sporadic, and usually occurs only after I've spent over a minute reading a message or composing a reply. the problem: When I compose a message and go to send it, Pine will occassionally enter its "sending message" mode, and never recover. I've waited up to ten minutes, but eventually my only recourse was to kill -INT the process. Normally, Pine will display "sending message" for only a couple seconds, and then display "writing FCC", followed by "message sent". At first I thought the PPP connection was lost, but both while Pine was locked up and after killing it, I can still use netscape, ftp, and telnet through the connection and the prompt is still in capitol P's. Anyone have an idea? for now, I'm telneting a server at the Univ. and using thier pine. The PPP connection stays solid for that.

See perl/perl/doio.c, and look for 'STDSTDIO'. Or the 'tgrep' script could be changed a little so as not to need the -T/-B file test operators. I've got a script (called 'rgrep') that I pulled from the net a long time ago that had the same problem. It's header comments go like this (in case it's an ancestor of your tgrep script): # @(#)rgrep version 3.4 created 5/19/93 ... # Written by Piet van Oostrum # This is really free software The way I worked around the problem was to have the code that cycles thru reading a file treat as binary any file containing a '\000' character (which I would expect to be a fairly common thing for a binary file and not for a text file). I could email/post my modified rgrep script for anyone who's interested.

To recap, I have a 4Gig scsi disk with geometry remapping enabled on an AHA1542CF. I am almost certain that the entire FreeBSD root slice (or partition, lets not allow terminology to cloud the issue) is below 1 Gig. I installed the May 2.2 snap, it newfs'd ok, installed all components ok, boots ok, and at the end of the hardware checking stuff it panics because it cannot mount "root". What could be the cause? I am sure the magic limit is 1Gig because without remapping that is the largest DOS partition I can create (in fact, the dos fdisk shows the drive as being that size). Is the kernel the only thing that needs to be below that magic boundary or the whole root slice/partition? Is there something I'm missing? Something I can check in to? Am I asking the impossible (I know this was not possible in earlier releases)? ---------------------------- Steve Marmer, Integrated Digital Solutions From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 6 16:20:36 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA12308 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 16:20:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mailgate.nation-net.com ([194.159.125.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA12301 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 16:20:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mag.nation-net.com (194.159.125.14) by mailgate.nation-net.com with SMTP (Apple Internet Mail Server 1.0); Tue, 6 Aug 1996 16:06:16 +0000 Message-ID: <32075E9E.508A@nation-net.com> Date: Tue, 06 Aug 1996 16:02:54 +0100 From: Paul Walsh X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Removing a fips partition with fdisk Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Would this be safe to do?

We partitioned the hard drive too small at first and decided that we wanted a bigger partition. Unfortunately, fdisk would no longer recognize the full capacity of the hard drive for partitioning and so we weren't able to restore the minimum size of the first partition to its original size. We were brain damaged and forgot to make a backup of the partition table before we hit it with fdisk. We have an EIDE hard drive and are hoping that we can use the DOS utility pfdisk from the Walnut Creek CDROM or the FreeBSD fdisk (preferably pfdisk) to force the partition table back into shape. We don't know the native geometry of the hard drive, since the geometry that the BIOS reports and the geometry that FreeBSD's bootstrap reports can sometimes be confusingly different. To get to the point, which geometry should we feed to pfdisk or FreeBSD's fdisk to fix things up? The geometry that would report 64 cylinders or the one that reports 16 cylinders? Do you know a way that we could be certain about the right value of the geometry once we determine which type is the correct one to to feed pfdisk/fdisk? Thanks, Jeffrey M.

The only instructions I could find were for a minimal FreeBSD installation from a DOS partition. I tried copying what I could to the DOS partition and doing an install, but that did not work for me. I do not quite have enough disk space to copy the entire contents of the CD-ROM to the C: DOS partition since a partion large enough requires at least 800 MB free space because DOS wastes so much space on 32 KB clusters in partitions of that size. I tried deleting files that I knew I wasn't interested in installing and replacing them with the remaining files from the CD-ROM but apparently the directory structure I used on the DOS partition was not correct for the FreeBSD installation program (i.e. C:\FREEBSD\\...\*.*). While I am at it, how do you run X-Windows. I tried to run it on another computer (which, by the way, also has an IDE CD-ROM, but from which I could install FreeBSD) but all I got was a white screen with an X mouse cursor. There were no windows, icons, etc. and I could not quit the program (I had to press reset and allow the kernel to fix everything since I had not unmounted before rebooting).

Thanks very much for the quick and helpful response. Thankfully, that syntax works 99.99% of the time. There is some problem with the guessing the boot blocks do to figure out where your FreeBSD slice is. My guess is, since your configuration is rather, er, extended, that the boot blocks don't have enough logic to make it through the maze. The unfortunate part is that you're stuck forever typing that in to Boot: until you move your disks around.

The PPP connection stays solid for that. Check the Setup -> Config and look at the available modes for sending mail. I personally liked the background mode.

It sends packets but never gets any back.... Try doing 'add 0 0 HISADDR' after you connect in ppp. That will reset the default route to the proper address. 204.91.224.239 is probably the other end.

Not sure, but I use xntpd and it picks up NTP servers just fine. Just make an /etc/ntp.conf like this: #ntp configuration file for gdi.uoregon.edu server phloem.uoregon.edu Change the server to match your situation (in this case to point to your router), then enable it in sysconfig with: xntpdflags="-c /etc/ntp.conf" And you're off and rolling.

I just replaced the older S3 server with the new beta, and it works a treat. Faster, and the silly white line on the left hand side has gone ! At last. The only thing is if you use startx, you get a (annoying) banner that lasts for 10 seconds saying that this is a beta.

I would prefer the background mode myself, only if I'm haveing this problem and the mail is just going into the background, then I wouldn't know it, I'd exit pine, and my mail would be unsent - right? I have really grown to love that "message sent and copied to sent-mail" message. It gives me a sense of closure. in 3.95 is backgrounding the sendmail an option? Thanks for your reply!

Rule 1: If you don't know your way around, use defaults! The installation program gives defaults to partition sizes that are O.K. for most single-user stations. Second, it seems to me you are confusing the directory structure with filesystems. /usr is a subdirectory of /, but they are (normally) on different filesystems (partiotions). You can have / on a partition of about 16-20MB without ever filling it up. > > Also, I get a WARNING : / NOT PROPERLY DISMOUNTED when I boot. I logout > and then turn off.

And is the / in the install /root on the disk? / and /usr are (usually) seperate partitions. The sizes depend entirely on the amount of disk space you have. On my 1 gig drive, I've given / 45 mb, /var 45 mv, used 150mb as swap and the rest for /usr. > Also, I get a WARNING : / NOT PROPERLY DISMOUNTED when I boot. I logout > and then turn off.

You stand the chance of losing everything in memory i.e. since the last controlled shutdown. You need to login as root and type shutdown, or halt, or reboot -r now. Why are you continually shutting down the PC though ? > Also, is there perhaps a FAQ or giude to BSD on the internet that is > intended for total begginers such as myself?

I can't seem to find it, but I've only got the 2.1.0 CDROM here. If it isn't, maybe the best answer would be to port it to DOS in such a way that it would handle DOS's feeble globbing, and do any other useful things we could think of - perhaps it could put up a simple menu where you could say which dists you wanted to install (this would also have the advantage of checking that the user had got the directory structure right). (In case anyone isn't familiar with "globbing", if you type "foo *" in a Unix shell, the shell expands the * and passes the program the names of all the file in the directory. If you type the equivalent "foo *.*" at a DOS command prompt, the program has to work them out for itself).

Is /usr mentioned in the install the directory /usr as a subdirectory > of / on the disk? And is the / in the install /root on the disk? Well, UNIX has only one, all encompassing directory tree. But, you can mount other disks into it, and then their directory trees appear to be below the directory where you have mounted them--this is normally done. The root of the tree is /. / is the volume which is always implicitly mounted by the kernel itself on boot. For FreeBSD, 20 MB / volume should do. As far as /usr is concerned, it can physically be on / volume, but people usually use some other volume and mount it as /usr. Same for /var, /home, /usr/local, /you/name/it ... Of course, if you wish to have /usr physically on the / volume, your / volume has to be bigger in order to accommodate /usr subtree. > > Also, I get a WARNING : / NOT PROPERLY DISMOUNTED when I boot.

The easiest way to do that on a standalone PC is CTRL-ALT-DEL (i.e. keyboard machine reset, you know, three-finger-salute :) You should do that on a console without X running on it. To switch to one of these from X use CTRL-ALT-F1 (that will put you in boot console, probably the best one for shutdown as all system messages normally appear there.) If you just power off, you risk losing your data (disk writes are delayed and your data may still be in RAM at the moment of power-down.) Don't ever just power-off, unless you really have to (machine is hanging, keyboard is in funny state, you want to recover some inodes, whatever)! > > Also, is there perhaps a FAQ or giude to BSD on the internet that is > intended for total begginers such as myself?

You should issue the shutdown command so that they system can sync your disks and dismount gracefully. Instead of logging out, su to root if you are alread the root user, and type: shutdown -r now You'll get a message like: Syncing disks....... Done system rebooting then you system will powerdown and reboot as if you hit Cntl-Alt-Del on a DOS machine. Incidentally, I think Cntl-Alt-Del will issue the shutdown command too, but this is probably a bad habit to get into.

Under Unix there are so many processes running, and the sytem has a disc cache, too. So you have to explicitly tell the system that you'd like to shut it down (as in W95 :-). The proper way, is to login as ``root''. Or login as you, normal user, and use the ``su'' command. (Well, you know, under Unix, this is the preferred method - as you see, ``Don't login as root, login as yourself and use the `su' command''. But you have to be in the ``wheel'' group, to use the ``su'' command. To it, edit the /etc/group file, and write your login name in the ``wheel'' group's line. But to edit the ``group'' file, you have to be ``root''. Catch 22.) OK. So: ``su'', and after it: ``shutdown -h now''. It means, ``h''alt the system. If you'd like to reboot, use -r instead -h. When you see the ``Press any key to reboot, or halt the computer'' - or something like this, you can turn it off. Well, there is a more simple way which may or may not working to you. Type ``sync'', wait a minute (OK some seconds), and after it the CAD (Ctrl-Alt-Del) key-combination, as under DOS. When it resets, turn off. > Also, is there perhaps a FAQ or giude to BSD on the internet that is > intended for total begginers such as myself?

On my 1 gig drive, I've given / 45 mb, > /var 45 mv, used 150mb as swap and the rest for /usr. AVOID the temptation to create a single partition (/) and stuff everything onto it. Sooner or later, you'll pay for this (i.e. when things go bump in the night and you have to rebuild *everything* from scratch). Note that partitions (except for swap partitions) hold filesystems. Also, that partitions are not the same as disks! (a disk can hold several partitions) A small / partition is advised. I like 50MB. It should contain most of the basics and little else. In general, you want to try to have / pretend it is read-only. If you can limit the amount of changes to the superblock (i.e. avoid writing to anything on /), you greatly improve your chances of surviving a crash (since / should survive intact). The / partition should hold /dev, /bin, /etc, /stand, /sbin, /root, /proc -- as well as the mount points for other partitions (like /tmp, /var, /home, /mnt, etc.) The goal of the / partition should be to support the minimum stuff needed to get a system up and running. If you trash another partition (e.g., /usr), you want to be able to *confidently* operate from / while you are restoring it (i.e. boot single user and ONLY mount / while you rebuild the broken partition). I mount /var on its own partition since /var sees *lots* of writes for mail, news. logs, etc. (so, a crash can potentially result in corrupting parts of the /var filesystem). Also, this allows me to make sure that news,mail, etc. don't get out of control and start gobbling up *all* of my disk space. Likewise, I mount /home on its own partition and, by convention, put all user home directories therein (i.e. ~/user == /home/user). Since users tend to write to their $HOME at will, this isolates their activities onto a separate filesystem. It also allows me to setup quotas for users on /home without bothering the rest of my system. The /usr partition tends to be pretty big so it gets it's own partition (otherwise, it would end up on / and I want to keep that small). I have also toyed with the idea of creating a separate /usr/local partition. And, you could opt for separate /usr/src and /usr/ports partitions if you want to get fanatical! If you have a particularly *fast* drive, you might want to put /tmp on it (or, use it for swap!). Inspired by a suggestion from Peter da Silva (sp?), I create minimal /var, /tmp, /usr, etc. *directories* on my root partition (note that a directory is not the same as a filesystem which is not the same as a partition which is not the same as a rubber chicken!). When I mount the *real* /var, /tmp, /usr, etc. partitions, they mount "on top of" these directories (so, the contents of the directories are lost/hidden/overlaid). This allows me to use things from my minimalist root (/) partition that may expect/require certain things in /var (like /var/log) or /usr, /tmp, etc. Clever, eh?

I would advocate *against* modifying the code for this. Put that functionality into a .BAT file wrapper. This allows someone already knowledgable in cksum(1) to modify the BAT file without having to learn some bogus *new* MyCksum program. Also cuts down on the maintenance of yet another piece of software (and, is more in tune with the UNIX philosophy of building with existing tools).

Define a group that you could possibly name 'badboys'. set the permissions on the telnet binary to be r-x---r-x and group ownership to be 'badboys'. Then, add all the members of this group of users to the 'badboy' group. What will happen is this: when checking execute permissions when the user invokes telnet, the checking will end at the first match (group). And since group has no permissions at all on this program, the 'badboys' member won't be able to execute it. All those who are not part of the group will still be able to execute the program. I hope this helps.

There seems to be a problem telnetting and ftping *out* of the machine, but not *into* the machine. ftping out usually results in an immediate "connected" message, followed by a wait of 30 seconds to 3 minutes before the login banner and login prompt are displayed. After this, there seems to be no problems, although the transfer rate seems a little slow. On telnets out, the same sort of behavior. There is an immediate "connect", but often that's all. The login prompt is *never* displayed. The situation gets weirder when you look at the local network. ftp/telnet to machines on the local net are fine. And telnet/ftp to the outside world from *those* machines is fine. So there seems to be something about this one machine talking to the rest of the world that's fouled up. The machine is also a web server. HTTP traffic zooms right along, no trouble/delays in either directions, except when using lynx from the command line to access other servers. Here, occasionally (but not always) a web site will load until the last few bytes, then stall for a *long* time. Help! What do I even *look* at?

I don't know tcp-wrapper, but: a) so many daemons (init, inetd, etc) use SIGHUP to re-read their configuration files. So kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid` isn't kill it, only send an alert: ``Read your files, something was changed!'' b) I think, tcpd makes it's pid file like this: ------------------------------------+ v open( PIDFILE, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL ); And because with kill -9, he/she/it hasn't any time to remove it, at next start, exiting. Try kill -9, remove /var/run/syslog.pid, and start it over. If it exits, sorry. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

A "cksum %1.0*" won't work because the files have alpha extensions: "bin.aa" to "bin.cq", if memory serves. However there seems to be another underlying assumption: that MS-DOS expands wildcards in alpha-sorted sequence. It doesn't. File "bin.bz" (say) may just as well be processed before "bin.aa". So a "comp" without an intervening "sort" won't work. Another complication: DOS "sort" is little-used, broken, and may not be in the PATH. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 7 07:33:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA27357 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 07:33:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from maelstrom.CC.McGill.CA (maelstrom.CC.McGill.CA [132.206.35.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA27344 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 07:33:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from yves@localhost) by maelstrom.CC.McGill.CA (8.7.1/8.6.10) id KAA02800; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 10:28:57 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199608071428.KAA02800@maelstrom.CC.McGill.CA> MIME-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 3.3 v118.2) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.118.2) From: Yves Lepage Date: Wed, 7 Aug 96 10:28:55 -0400 To: "Paul T.

Regardless of whether you run sdoom or xdoom, it is looking for a program that is running the sound. If you don't have a Linux-compatible sound device configured, the sound program fails. The main executable for doom keeps sending requests to the sound program, but eventually fails. I fixed this on my system by renaming the sound program! The startup can't find the executable, but continues to run the game silently. Check the directory /usr/games/doom. You will probably find the file called sndserver. Rename it to sndserver.save, and see what happens. Hopefully, this will work for you. For the curious, this makes xdoom run across a network onto an ordinary X-terminal!

Ooops! Sorry, I'm using a "split" that creates three digit extensions of the form ".[0-9][0-9][0-9]" and had (erroneously) assumed the bin, sbin, etc. files were similarly named <:-) > However there seems to be another underlying assumption: that MS-DOS > expands wildcards in alpha-sorted sequence. It doesn't. File > "bin.bz" (say) may just as well be processed before "bin.aa". So > a "comp" without an intervening "sort" won't work. Right. DOS tends to serve things up in "directory order". My assumption was that the files would have been ftp'ed in alpha order and, thus, present in the directory in that order! > Another complication: DOS "sort" is little-used, broken, and may > not be in the PATH. \DOS is usually in the PATH and SORT should be therein. How far back (e.g., DOS 1.0?) should we support this? I would imagine 5.0 or 3.3 to be the "oldest" we'd need to support (??) I'll try to dig up earlier versions to verify. Another hack would be to use DIR to create a (sorted) file list but piping that into CKSUM would probably choke, too (since DOS is so brain dead). I'd really like to avoid writing some DOS-specific utility to do this as it seems like bogus code to maintain. I'd rather see *no* globbing and list everything explicitly... --don From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 7 08:55:38 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA09568 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 08:55:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from seagull.rtd.com (root@seagull.rtd.com [198.102.68.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA09557 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 08:55:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dgy@localhost) by seagull.rtd.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA01929; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 08:55:17 -0700 (MST) From: Don Yuniskis Message-Id: <199608071555.IAA01929@seagull.rtd.com> Subject: Re: chroot To: njensen@salsa.habaneros.com (Neil C.

In section 2.2.2, "Before installing from Floppy" of the online installation manual (the URL is: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook13.html#13) it says: "The first floppy that you will need in addition to the boot.flp image is ``floppies/root.flp'', which is somewhat special in that it is not a DOS filesystem floppy at all, but rather a floppy "image" (it's actually a gzip'd cpio file). You can create this floppy in the same way that you created the boot floppy the beginning of this guide . Once this floppy is made, you can go on to make the distribution set floppies using ordinary DOS or UFS (if you are preparing the floppies on another FreeBSD machine) formatted diskettes." Although I have read and understand the section on creating the boot floppy, I am really not sure what "floppies/root.flp" is supposed to contain, nor how to create it. Any help will be much appreciated!

Try kill -9, remove /var/run/syslog.pid, and start it over.

I think, login try to run the file ``/usr/sbin/chroot /home/terminal'' (as a file, and not as a command with a directory parameter!) but cannot find it. I think, you cannot make a login shell such way, only with scripts. (So make a little proram, eg: chrootedshell, which has: ``chroot /home/terminal'' in it, and use that instead. But as so many people would have to scream, SUID shell scripts doesn't work in modern Unices, so use perl/C/I don't know what. BUT: > If I instead try to use the login script, the error message is > "chroot: /home/terminal: Operation not permitted" chroot(8) try to run the shell ($SHELL) or the second parameter. But it search it in the chrooted environment! (See also: configuring anonymous ftp) So you need a (eg:) /bin/sh in that /home/teminal directory, and of course most of the other utilities and data files (and shared libraries!). But: as chroot(2) says, the chroot syscall is restricted only to the superuser. But login changes UID to your user, so chroot generates error. So make a little C program, which is SUID, and exec chroot. But beware: after it, your user will be root in that chrooted file structure. (Try it: (as root) $ chown root chroot; chmod u+s chroot (and as normal user) $ env SHELL=/bin/sh /usr/sbin/chroot / $ id uid=NM(who-you-were) euid=0(root) .... (... doesn't matter) So first turn back everything: chown bin chroot ; chmod 555 chroot, and after it: write another version, which after chrooting, switch back to the original uid (it would be more simple, write the whole thing into your SUID C-wrapper). (In modern AT&T Unices, there is a little trick in login, maybe FBSD has to ``port'' it: if the users shell in ``/etc/passwd'' is a *, than login makes a chroot to that users home directory, and start the login procedure from the beginning: exec login, get username, passwd (from that chrooted directory's /etc/passwd, and start shell - well, with this method, that user need type her/his login name (and password) twice, but ... -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

Once you have it in DOS, you create a floppy from it using the rawrite.exe utility (just like the floppy you created from boot.flp). These aren't regular DOS "files" (well, technically, while they reside on your DOS disk, they are files. But, rawrite copies them onto a *BLANK* disk as if they were disk images -- i.e. it starts at the first sector of the disk and keeps pumping the "data"/image from root.flp onto the disk until the disk has been completely written). Note the size of these files tends to be the exact size of a floppy's raw capacity -- coincidence? Nope! (granted, not all of them are full floppy size).

If this is the case, many (not all) machines you connect to will connect right away, but then the machine you connected to tries to do a reverse lookup (so that the hostname can be logged instead of the IP) and the long delay you see is the DNS timeout period.

We do not have a backup of the boot sector and would like to know if there is a way to repair it. We know the geometry of the hard drive. It is a 1272MB hard drive with a geometry of 2466 cyls, 16 heads, and 63 sectors. Currently, DOS fdisk reports that the maximum size of the hard drive available for a primary DOS partition is 504MB, when this is clearly not the case. We want to correct the boot sector so that DOS fdisk will recognize the 1272MB as the maximum available size for a primary DOS partition. Thanks, J.

None of the developers of FreeBSD have access to Token Ring networks to do drivers, and if they did, they'd probably have more important things to develop (such as ATM, whose usage is growing).

I agree that SORT usually will be available, and may be in c:\dos. I'd be hesitant to actually _assume_ that in a utility, though. For instance, the system I'm using now has SORT in d:\windows\command (as installed by Windows 95 setup). On someone else's system, set up for GNU C development, two incompatible implementations of SORT are in d:\bin and c:\dos, and the non-DOS version has precedence in the PATH. > How far back (e.g., DOS 1.0?) should we support this? I would imagine > 5.0 or 3.3 to be the "oldest" we'd need to support (??) I'll try to > dig up earlier versions to verify. SORT goes way back on DOS. However, older versions of DOS never had an install routine, so files could (and frequently did) end up in strange places. Also the DOS sort is seriously brain dead (a better phrase than "broken", which I used previously). So the SORT in the path may not belong to DOS, or respond to the same syntax. > Another hack would be to use DIR to create a (sorted) file list > but piping that into CKSUM would probably choke, too (since > DOS is so brain dead). You're right, this isn't a standard MS-DOS capability. > I'd really like to avoid writing some DOS-specific utility to > do this as it seems like bogus code to maintain. I'd rather > see *no* globbing and list everything explicitly... On principle, I'd agree. Though I'm not sure whether it would be necessary to maintain the code at all. MS-DOS still runs DOS 1.xx binaries; and 'cksum' produces a standard 32-bit CRC which isn't going to change anytime soon. So maybe, in this particular case, a DOS-specific utility would be more robust. I actually have a DOS utility somewhere that does 32-bit CRCs and even does limited ASCII-sequenced globbing (eg. "bin.[a-c]?"). It was done for a company whose support people needed to check for corrupt/incompatible binaries over the phone. I suppose I could dig it out and submit it, if no-one comes up with a preferred solution. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 7 11:59:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA29258 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 11:59:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from m4.sprynet.com (m4.sprynet.com [165.121.1.96]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA29253 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 11:59:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from 149.174.211.5.sprynet.com (dd12-014.compuserve.com [199.174.154.14]) by m4.sprynet.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id LAA22139 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 11:57:53 -0700 Message-Id: <199608071857.LAA22139@m4.sprynet.com> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Jesse" To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 7 Aug 1996 11:58:48 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: (Fwd) Re: help!

I then recomiled and rebooted. Strange thing was that when it came back up, without incident, I couldn't telnet in, ftp in or access the httpd daemon. I did this remotely and had someone atthe machine watch to see it come back up. Any ideas, based on my 'kernel config' from my previous post, that would indicate a reason for tcp/udp connections not being accepted? I couldn't ping the server from a remote server as well. Nothing changed as far as /etc/netstart; /etc/rc; /etc/sysconfig and the /kernel.GENERIC loads just fine. I'm not stumped as to what didn't load properly or if a option in the config is actually causing this.

I shut down by issuing the shutdown command in an xterm window all the time! It seems to me that the xterms are killed gracefully after being giving the warning message, and then X is exited back to ttyv0, I see the sync going on, then the halt. Is this a bad way to do it???

Misinterpreted your DOS sort/find comment: apologies. However, unless some sorting takes place, the files may end up being processed out of order. This may not be a likely problem, but it is a sufficiently possible one to need taking into account. I actually had to do a DOS cksum-like clone, years ago, and for compatibility it was necessary to sort the file args during the globbing.

I imagine the "safest" way (without writing a utility to do this) would be to use FOR to expand the command line argument (e.g., %1.??). Then, for each file, use FIND (OhMiGod) to extract the pertinent line from a master CHECKSUMS file into a temp file. Use CKSUM.EXE to compute a checksum into yet another temporary file and finally COMP to verify they agree. Sheesh! Sounds like it would be easier to just write it all from scratch (bummer!) -- and people have the NERVE to call DOS an O.S.! > I actually had to do a DOS cksum-like clone, years ago, and for > compatibility it was necessary to sort the file args during the > globbing. Unfortunately this is something ports from UNIX frequently > don't take into account. The cksum.c in FBSD pretty much compiles out of the box -- have to drag in getopt() though... I'd like to stick to using cksum as is simply because of all of the grief over the different versions of cksum over the years. It seems like it would also be a good general purpose utility to have in DOSland for those folks that want to manually do a checksum and verify *by hand* against some published cksums... --don From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 7 13:30:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA05970 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:30:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from homer27.u.washington.edu (durang@homer27.u.washington.edu [140.142.77.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA05963 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:30:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost by homer27.u.washington.edu (5.65+UW96.06/UW-NDC Revision: 2.33 ) id AA130991; Wed, 7 Aug 96 13:30:10 -0700 Date: Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:30:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Ken Marsh To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: SMTP connection going away.

I upgraded to Pine 3.95 to fix this, but that didn't work. However, pine now give more explicit messages about the problem. When I have been composing a message for over a minute or so, pine goes into the sending mode, "sending message | 0%" then "sending message | 100%" at which point it stops entirely and goes to sleep. ps shows: UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND 1000 221 216 0 2 0 1400 1552 select S+ p1 0:03.20 (pine) After a period of time (about 5-10 minutes), pine finally says: Mail not sent. Sending error: 421 SMTP connection went away! At this point, I can telnet another machine at the University and still access my mail, and if I open another copy of pine locally, I can too. Also, new mail still rolls in and pine gives the "new messages from" message. I just can't send mail. If I get on pine and compose and send quickly, I can send out many messages, only after a period spent not sending does the SMTP connection shut me out. Is this a problem with my machine? or is it the IPS's (Univ. of WA) setup? If anyone thinks it's pine, I'll be happy to mail my question to them instead. Unfortunately, mailing the University on this will only get me a long FAQ regarding Windoze/Mac setup. I would send more info, but I have no idea what would help diagnose. Thanks in advance.

We have a P166 with an Adaptec SCSI Driver and a 3COM Etherlink III card. Origionally there was an IRQ collision between the two cards, but using the 3C905 Network Interface with an IRQ of 8 both now come up successfully. The system will come up and define the routing table, but it will not communicate across the Twisted-Pair connection to any other machines via the Hub. The hub will also not light up to say there is a valid link. The machine (kaneda) IP is 194.74.216.2 and the router (corpex-gw) has an IP of 194.74.216.254, which are both configured in the /etc/xxxconfigs together with the appropriate Netmask. The machine has to be successfully accessing the card, because netstat -r retruns valid data for the machines ethernet address. Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expiry default corpex-gw UGSc 9 0 ep0 localhost localhost UH 0 0 lo0 194.74.216 link=A32 UC 1 0 kaneda 0:a0:24:9d:70:8f UHLW 3 147 lo0 corpex-gw link=A32 UHLW 10 0 note initially (just after boot) the last line is as follows. corpex-gw link=A32 UH 10 0 ep0 1 but it expires to the above. I have several questions, but I would alos appreciate some general comments where this problem has been encountered before (as is evident on the Mailing List Archive), but I can see no fixes listed there.. What does UHLW mean in the above? What does link=A32 mean in the above? Do I NEED to change my network card? Is there a configuration in the kernel I can change that will solve the problem, or a patch, or have I missed a configuration setting. Note: The cable is fine, and the card is fine, when tested in another (Win95= ) machine. Many Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Hmm. I remember someone announcing a free ODBC interface for Unix about a year ago, but didn't keep any details. In any case, I think this was just a "normal" application - you'd have to add the Web server interface yourself.

Probably a bug in pine sending it into an infinite loop. It's useful to leave something like top or xperfmon++ (both in the ports) running and glance at them occasionally, so you can see if any programs are hogging the CPU. (Careful though - xperfmon++ has a memory leak and will become amazingly bloated if you don't stop and restart it every now and again).

I haven't seen this, but there's probably some other bootstrapping you need to do. -current has diverged quite considerably from 2.1.0/5 and it's not just a case of typing 'make world' and waiting for everything to effortlessly upgrade itself.

And is the / in the install /root on the disk? /usr is indeed a subdirectory of /. One of the nice things about the Unix filesystem is that it's all one big hierarchy and you can add extra partitions, disks, CDROMs, NFS-mounted filesystems etc etc into it without all this nonsense about having to remember that your CDROM's on drive P:, except it's on Q: if you add a network drive... /root is the directory you arrive in if you log in as the superuser (using the login name "root"). /, which is rather confusingly known as "the root directory", is the base of the filesystem hierarchy (think of the hierarchy as a tree, with directories branching off it, and the origin of the term "root directory" may become a little clearer, although people seem to make a habit of drawing the tree upside down, for some reason). > Also, I get a WARNING : / NOT PROPERLY DISMOUNTED when I boot.

Welcome to the world of real operating systems :-) In Unix (and other systems like OS/2 and WinNT) a lot of data is kept in memory in case it's needed again, rather than saving it to disk and re-loading it again. When you turn off the computer without shutting it down properly, any data that has not been saved to disk will be lost. A program called 'fsck' is run at boot time to check that the file systems are self-consistent; it notices that / was still open when the system went down and warns you so that you can investigate whether any important data was lost. The correct way to finish off a FreeBSD session is to use the "halt" or "reboot" commands, which do the obvious things immediately; if you're sharing the system with other people, "shutdown" is a more friendly way, giving people time to save their work first. > Also, is there perhaps a FAQ or giude to BSD on the internet that is > intended for total begginers such as myself?

Rather than chopping them out, put a '#if 0/#endif' block around the lines in question, so it's easy to undo if you change your mind.

You have to be root to run chroot. When a user logs in, the login shell is run as that user, and the user doesn't have permission to run chroot.

If we were talking about a Unix environment you would have my 101% agreement. Unfortunately, DOS was designed on the philosophy that a program has to do everything itself; the "shell" is practically useless for anything more than launching applications. As for the OS, well, why do so many DOS programmers talk directly to the hardware? > It hardly seems worth any "performance increase" to replace DOS's > batch file interpretter with hardcoded system("cksum.exe") You don't have to call system() - just hack cksum's command-line handling so it reads the names from a file instead and sorts them into alphabetic order. Put #ifdef MSDOS/#endif around this if it makes you happier :-) (BTW what's the max length of a DOS command line? The bin.* files in 2.1.0 are 6 chars long, and there's 82 of them, plus a space between each one - that's getting on for 600 chars by my reckoning). Once you've done that, then adding a couple of lines to read in a number from a file and compare it to the number you first thought of is trivial. I do understand why you want to do this in as Unix-like a way as possible, but I don't think it's workable. Sorry.

The aic7xxx driver is one of the better supported FreeBSD drivers. It's had some bugs in prior releases to 2.1.5R, but these were fixed for 2.1.5R and has proven to be very stable for me. In 2.1.5R, the aic7xxx devices are auto-probed; you just need to add pci and/or eisa controller lines in your kernel configuration and it'll find all aic7xxx devices. For the 3940 you just need a pci controller and it'll pick it up as two aic7xxx controllers since the 3940 has two 787X controllers on it.

Sorry. Yes, I suspect that's the case. I would almost advocate porting grep and sort just so a UN*X-like approach *could* be employed -- seems like it would be easier to maintain. Porting cksum was a no-brainer. Though I imagine grep *might* be a bit more involved for some of the funkier switches, etc. I think even just having CKSUM.EXE available would be *some* consolation to those folks that are banging their heads against the wall wondering why the gunzip is failing, etc. I'll try to get back to digging through the code when I finish rebuilding my alternator... :-( --don From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 7 20:31:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA00600 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 20:31:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost.dcrt.nih.gov (ost166.capecod.net [204.255.214.166]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA00594 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 20:31:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from crtb@localhost) by localhost.dcrt.nih.gov (8.6.11/8.6.9) id XAA00319; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 23:31:42 -0400 Date: Wed, 7 Aug 1996 23:31:42 -0400 From: Chuck Bacon Message-Id: <199608080331.XAA00319@localhost.dcrt.nih.gov> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: The old disklabel question Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Have I forgotten how to RTFM, or am I back in the old days? I just installed a new SCSI disk, replacing a much smaller one. The smaller disk had been useful, but I don't have another SCSI crimp connector (internal disks, both). The SCSI controller is the AIC on a SB16. I have a 1542CF but not enough slot space for it. Anyhow, with DOS I created a Primary DOS Partition and an Extended Partition which I somehow managed to turn into type 165 (FreeBSD). Problem is, "disklabel sd0" complains: disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument "disklabel wd0" (or wd1) work fine. So, I find I can do "disklabel sd0s4" and get this: # /dev/rsd0s4: type: unknown disk: label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 4135 sectors/unit: 2503872 rpm: 0 interleave: 0 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 2503872 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 155*) Warning, revolutions/minute 0 boot block size 0 super block size 0 Which is close. Translated geometry: 255 x 63, but translated cyls = 155, not 4135. This disk has 1.2GB, not 35GB! The FreeBSD Handbook is beautiful, but unfortunately, I found I have an early edition (valuable some day :-) with the important disk bits omitted! If I "disklabel -e sd0s4" I get a complaint after exit: DIOCWDINFO: Operation not supported by device. Even though I have the DOS partition on that disk mount_msdos'ed. The FreeBSD Handbook is beautiful, but unfortunately, I have an early edition (valuable some day :-) with the important disk bits omitted! So here are some facts: 0. AIC controller on SB16 board 1. Both the old and new SCSI disks had 2 partitions (in the DOS sense) 2. The old disk had an "Extended DOS Partition" and the new one a "Primary.." (changed so that mount_msdos would work) 3. DOS/Windows likes the new disk just fine. 4. FDISK on DOS doesn't recognize this third drive. Only drives 1 and 2, which are IDE. 5. AFDISK.EXE on DOS (from Creative Labs?) created the two partitions. 6. I draw a blank with disklabel sd0s1, 2 or 3. Only sd0s4 appears to have an admittedly dummied-up disklabel. 7. Attempts to disklabel -e result in "DIOCWDINFO: Operation not supported by device" (after I fix the rpm and interleave). I don't subscribe to freebsd-questions, but I read most of the other mailing lists. I'd appreciate a comment, even RTFM, but which FM?

Do I have enough bandwidth for running a news server. A full news feed will not fit down a 56k. However, I believe that 128k is enough, but pushing it. T1 or greater is ideal. 2. How long do I want to keep articles on my server? For a full news feed, you should plan on having 1 GB of articles per day. So of you want to keep your news for 12 days, 12 GB is recommended. Your machine should be plenty fast enough if you are just running the average ISP operation. As for installation procedures, I'm not exactly sure. Maybe check the online mail archive.

Er, did you try responding 'root' to the login: prompt? If you are really stuck: At the Boot: prompt, type '-s' & enter. You'll be asked Enter shell or press RETURN for sh: Just hit ENTER. At the #, run mount / then mount -a Your filesystems should be back. Then run /usr/sbin/vipw & blank out root's password (it'll be the jumble of characters on the line starting with "root". (In case you're new to vi, put the cursor at the beginning of the encoded password and hit 'x' to delete the character under the cursor until there is nothing between the colons.) Enter ZZ to save & quit. Then run 'exit' to continue the boot process. Root now has no password; login as root then run 'passwd' to set a new password for root. Hope this makes sense.

Check the boot log with 'dmesg' and make sure your ethernet card was detected. When you recompile the kernel any changes in -c are blanked out and reset to the settings in your kernel config file.

The 1: is a new addition to the boot blocks that, if I remember right, specifies the device or controller ID. I'm not sure, I've never used that syntax.

Back up your /etc directory, boot the 2.1.5 boot floppy, select the 'Upgrade' option, and configure & select distributions like you would for a normal install. Once everything finishes, merge the files that were mentioned during install with your old files (they may need to be completely rewritten like sysconfig), and reboot. Then look at your kernel config, make any chnages (A LOT has changed, so be observant!), recompile, reinstall, reboot. That should do it. > By the way, just curious, what is the difference between Linux and > FreeBSD? Which one is better and popular in the world? Poke through the mai archives.

Brett, I belive this was discussed a couple of weeks ago, Should be in the archives.. A bit of digging may result in further info. But if I'm not mistaken the outcome was running dump on the system the file is to get dump'ed to. Not on the system being dump'ed. The idea (As I saw it) was to pull the data versus pushing the data.. I'm geussing something like this to dump host2 on host1. host1% dump /filename /nfs/host2 I've never used dump, So don't bank on it.. :) I'm going from memory of something I belive I read here on -questions.

No. You can _install_ from a DOS slice, just not install FreeBSD _onto_ a DOS slice (a la Linux).

Hm. It's possible the CD-R isn't responding favorably to FreeBSD's probes. FreeBSD's CD-R support is limited, but I'd think that it'd interpret any unsupported CD-Rs into plain CDs.

It's sort of a unix question, but as I'm involved in installing packages under X, it applies here as well. When I install a new package, how can I determine which libraries will be required? Otherwise I get prompted one by one and have to locate/install them from the CD. There's a simple utility/command that you run on the executable and it spits out just the names of the external libraries the program uses. I've racked my brain (and looked for the little bit of paper that got lost) but can't recall it. It's NOT nm, which gives a ton of info. This command just spits out the needed libraries one per line. I do recall that it's a command/utility with one or two modifiers. I'm going nuts! I can't remember it! Any help appreciated.

So today I went and bought 4 4m30p simms and it still did the same darn thing, So I got to digging in CMOS and low and behold what did I find! Wait state = 0 I set it to 1 and I have yet to have a unwanted re-boot! Thats was ~12 hours ago. I was *very* lucky to go 30 minutes when compiling before! I hated rebuilding kernels! I would have to go single and it would make it through about 2 times out of 5.. I wound up building kernels on a nfs mounted 16meg 386-40 (HOT-307) The part that really burns me is I ASSUMED that It was as always! A wait state of 1. What it should be. And I had been tweeking the cache and various other settings always overlooking the wait state! Arrrg! There was another good side, I got a call this afternoon for 4 4m30p simms, I sold em.. :) I don't stock 30 pinners anymore! -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

No, it should still be sending. I think that's why they went to the new system so you'd know if there was an SMTP-related problem. > I have really grown to love that "message sent and copied to sent-mail" > message.

Backgrounding is in there, but it doesn't appear to be working, so on long haul sendmails you get to waiting a minute or two until sendmail gives up and queues it or the session finishes.

I don't know if you can get that low BUT tcpdump does work on tun0. tcpdump -i tun0 does give output (it is as I write here). You'll have to hexdump the packets and parse them manually. Why do you need to do this? Why not check the server's access_log, if you have access to it?

Is it a PCCARD (for a laptop)? If not, I don't think it's supported. In that case you'll have to either borrow someone's supported ethernet card, use dos install, or floppies.

You need to get a sector translator, which is available from your disk manufacturer or local computer shop. A product that does this is OnTrack's "Disk Manager". In the future, do _NOT_ install the boot manager if you have such a translator installed (which you probably did and erased when you installed the boot manager).

I don't quite understand what you mean by a "commercial copy" of FreeBSD. It _is_ free, after all. If you want to build FreeBSD boxes for your customers, feel free to do so without constraint. If you want to make a CD distribution of FreeBSD and sell it, then you'll have to research the license. The most "commerical" FreeBSD would be the Walnut Creek CD, I guess; see http://www.cdrom.com.

Sending error: 421 SMTP connection went away! Hm. Sounds like the remote machine doesn't like to talk to you. What do you have smtp-server set to in the configuration? Try enabling the verbose smtp display option (I can't remember the feature name, sorry) and see what that says. > At this point, I can telnet another machine at the University and still > access my mail, and if I open another copy of pine locally, I can too. > Also, new mail still rolls in and pine gives the "new messages from" > message.

Thats one of the several reasons I belive the path should be to have the dos verify_checksum program read the checksum.sum and work from it! This would side step alot of dos's brain deadness! The only maintiance would be if the output of FreeBSD's cksum changed. Not likly. fhandle = fopen("checksum.sum", ...) while(fgets(buf, len, fhandle) != EOF) { parse(buf); crc = do_crc(findfile(buf_filename)); if (crc == valid_crc) it's ok else it's broke download it again! } -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

I have run into problem when copying BIG files from a system sometimes fails with 0 size or partial copy only. There is no solid evidence if there is anything wrong with the system (VxWorks) NFS client or if it is FreeBSD 2.1R NFS server problem. What I want to avoid doing is to look at the FreeBSD NFS server code to get the information of the window size as it is a suspected culprit at this point. Is there any low level hacks one get do get that info from both the client and server ? Also, is there a way to query the NFS server for its version number ? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you can get that low BUT tcpdump does work on tun0. tcpdump -i tun0 does give output (it is as I write here). You'll have to hexdump the packets and parse them manually. Why do you need to do this? Why not check the server's access_log, if you have access to it?

Backgrounding is in there, but it doesn't appear to be working, so on long haul sendmails you get to waiting a minute or two until sendmail gives up and queues it or the session finishes.

Dos can't read a disk that size without some sort of translation. ie: LBA, or others. (Ontrack Disk manager.. ) Were you running something like Ontrack Disk manager! I sure hope not! If you were it's a gonner! Thus any data is as well! If not, And your BIOS or IDE Interface card is translating, Then somehow they got hosed! Check the settings, Do a FDISK /MBR to fix the boot record. WARNING!! DO NOT USE FDISK /MBR IF USING A DISK MANAGER FOR TRANSLATION. As well as give up on installing FreeBSD untill you get some hardware to do the translation! ie: LBA IDE interface, (Improperly called EIDE) -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

The FreeBSD that comes on the cdrom from Walnut Creek (or is=20 available by ftp) is full-strength, industrial quality; there's no "commercial" version that has additional utilities or=20 capabilities. All the utilities, capabilities, packages, and programs are already included. As an Internet Service Provider, you would probably want to install some programs (e.g., perhaps inn, the news server) that your customers would not care about; and you might want to install several different user mail packages, so that your customers with shell accounts would have a choice of mail programs to use. But all these programs are available on (or from) the same cdrom (or ftp download). =20 There are some commercial programs, such as Netscape's Commerce Server, that run on FreeBSD that you would have to purchase (as does everyone else). But there's also apache, a web server with considerable capabilities, that is part of the FreeBSD distribution. With apache you could provide your shell account customers with=20 the capability of putting up their own web pages. It is often surprising to people that a complete implementation of "Berkeley Unix" for Intel-based pc's, with considerable enhancements, is available (with all the source code) for $39.95 (the price of the cdrom from Walnut Creek). But that's the case. Technical support is provided through mailing lists such as this one and Usenet groups; there is a mailing list for ISPs. Although this is all done on a volunteer basis, you have access through these lists to experts around the world who are successfully doing what you're trying to do or who are actually working on the code itself. =20 =09=09=09=09Annelise Anderson =09=09=09=09Senior Research Fellow =09=09=09=09The Hoover Institution =09=09=09=09Stanford University =20 > Thanks, >=20 > Joao Bergamasco, NetCo. >=20 >=20 > ------------------------------------------ > NetCo.

I do not know about Unixware, I gave up on it a couple of years ago. I use rlogin and telnet to other machines and set the term to xterm, since I always use X. I can set rows and columns using stty.

You don't need to increment it. The buffers fill only up since the network card doesn't respond. The sad thing is that the `vx' driver is fairly preliminary. It should not have been in 2.1.5 at all, and was only included since the release notes and printed (CD-ROM) documentation mentioned these cards as being supported. The best fix is to either swap the card against something FreeBSD has a better driver for, or rewrite the `vx' driver. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 8 01:42:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA22365 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 01:42:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from eac.iafrica.com (196-7-192-187.iafrica.com [196.7.192.187]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA22360 for ; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 01:41:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from rnordier@localhost) by eac.iafrica.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA00237; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 10:36:51 +0200 From: Robert Nordier Message-Id: <199608080836.KAA00237@eac.iafrica.com> Subject: Re: perhaps i am just stupid.

You could use ftp.cdrom.com/simtelnet/msdos/txtutl/xgrep103.zip This has the main advantage of being only 3380 bytes in size, but is also a very accurate and widely-used grep clone.

Certainly, anything is a good deal better than nothing. Possibly, though, one should err on the side of doing too much rather than too little. There are an awful lot of files (~70 in the bin distribution) to go through by hand. I'd tend to agree with other views that a DOS-orientated program is needed -- if possibly a nice shiny one that looks good -- (and particularly no batch files).

Like I said earlier, Unix Guru's probably won't use it, Only the newcomers from dos will.. Most Unix Guru's already have a Unix box up and therefore have the tools already! Or the knowledge on how to do it! Like I said, I don't think I'll use it, And I'm far from a Unix Guru. But I already have a Unix box and I'll use the tools there. So IMHO it should be geared for those that are comming from dos and should look/act dos.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I have been trying for about 2 weeks now to get freebsd to install on my machine, with no luck. I am starting to be convinced that it has something to do with my disk drive geometry, as by changing the geometry to various settings (in the fdisk portion of the install) I am able to get errors to occur at different places, ie, i have been able to access the bin.aa once, pull up bin.aa, bin.ab, and bin.ac once, and one time, the installer couldn't find bin.ab... No matter how far i get, all the files are ultimately corrupt. This leads me to believe that since almost _every_ file i have downloaded (in binary) has been either in the wrong gunzip format or failed checksum, that the installer can't seem to get a 'clean' read of the files from my dos partion. Here is what it looks like : E-IDE 1.6GIG drive. Fips'ed initialy to have 2 primary dos partitions, c:drive for dos related stuff (771 MEG) and d: for Windows (95) related stuff (772 MEG). (I have 2 primary dos partiitions, only c: is bootable) I then used fips again to cut d: down by 250MEG to allow for Freebsd. Fips created a 3rd primary drive that i deleted for Freebsd to install on. My current Drive geometry as set up in my CMOS is: 786 cylinders, 64 heads, and 63 sectors/track. This is what i got from MSD with regards to what DOS 6.22 can see: C: Fixed Disk, CMOS Type 46 392 Cylinders, 64 Heads 512/bytes/sector, 63 Sectors/Track CMOS Fixed Disk Parameters 786 cynlinders, 64 Heads 63 Sectors/Track D: Fixed Disk, CMOS Type 0 267 Cylinders, 64 Heads 512/bytes/sector, 63 Sectors/Track CMOS Fixed Disk Parameters 24783 Cynlinders, 30 Heads 60 Sectors/Track When the install probe looks at my disk, it reports : 3145 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors, 512 bytes/track When i ran the 'pfdisk.exe' program, it reported : 785 cylinders, 64 heads, 63 sectors/track I have tried 785/63/63, 3145/16/63, and 786/64/63.. None of these geometries seems to allow the installer to properly read the files i have downloaded from the ftp.freebsd.org site ( and the last attempt i made, the files (well the 3 i loaded to see if they could be read) were from ftp3.freebsd.org.. still couldn't read the files). I am at a complete loss for what to do to get the installer to be able to read these files, and i am presuming that even if i were to do the ftp install (and avoid reading from dos) I would still have problems with freebsd being able to access it's own files if the geometry isn't set up for what the disk is expecting. (is that correct?) Oh, BTW, i am trying to get the 2.1.5R release installed, i don't know if that makes any difference, but at one point i was able to get Linux (slackware from cd) to install on this system (at the time i was running win3.11, but still had this partitioning scheme.. this exact scheme), perhaps the fact that it came from CD makes a difference, but i will be trying to install the base distribution from dos later thismorning, as i am off to download those files to see if it will install. I am very much wanting to try FreeBSD, and if some guru could delve into this dilema and offer some helpful insight (other than formatting the whole thing and making logical drives ;), I would be very much appriciative.

We have a mixture of Sun's and PC's with home directories served from several partitions on serveral Sun's via an amd map of of the general form:- /defaults type:=nfs;rfs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/home/${group};fs:=${rfs};sublink:=${key};opts:=rw,intr,noconn tom rhost:=foo0;group:=bar0 dick rhost:=foo1;group:=bar1 harry rhost:=foo2;group:=bar2 This system has worked well, and makes the user's home directory available on any machine that they have login access. Recently several users have requested that spare disk space on their 'personal' machines (i.e. the machines that they normally use) be made available as additional home directory space. Is there a neat way to do this? The constraints are as follows:- 1) This only applies to a small percentage of users. 2) Some of the 'personal' machines are not always running FreeBSD. 3) The solution needs to be as invisible and reliable as the existing home directory mounting.

Typically this problem occurs on large IDE drives where 64-head translation is in effect. This can cause an installation from a DOS partition to fail. I'd suggest you could try installing (at least) the first few distribution files from floppy disk, to see if they get read and written correctly. If DOS partition access is the problem, you will not be able to mount your DOS partition (reliably) once FreeBSD is installed. However, the rest of the system should be unaffected. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 8 04:34:36 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA02023 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 04:34:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.EUnet.hu (mail.eunet.hu [193.225.28.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id EAA02014 for ; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 04:34:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.EUnet.hu, id NAA02886; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 13:33:18 +0200 Received: by CoDe.CoDe.hu (LAA00818); Thu, 8 Aug 1996 11:39:52 GMT From: Gabor Zahemszky Message-Id: <199608081139.LAA00818@CoDe.CoDe.hu> Subject: Re: troubles with vi in telnet session To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 11:39:51 +0000 (GMT) Cc: amora@obelix.cica.es In-Reply-To: <199608080706.JAA09399@obelix.cica.es> from "Jesus A.

I don't know Unixware, but with Linux, you have to make TERM=scoterm (if you use the syscons driver) - well, maybe your Linux version has missing this termcap/terminfo description). With the other Unices, search for description of SCO compatible console. And of course, these description have to be on the other machines, not on FB. (If you use the pcvt driver, it's more simple, use any vt220 termcap/terminfo description.) With Linux, I had so many problems with both vt100/vt220/xterm (when I went from console mode, not from X). -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

Here is the list: 1) the upgrade said it was gonna copy the old files into /scratch/etc ( where I wanted them ) but after it finished, I found that the only files there were the new ones :-(. Good thing I did not trust the installtion and stored them elsewhere. 2) Big Problem with the ep driver. I have been running this system solidly for some time now. After the upgrade, whenever I am using the epdriver, the number of socknames and headers and data steadily increases until all network traffic ceases on the device and finally I start to get errors like this: ping: wrote gw.hq.ferg.com 64 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available If I: ifconfig ep0 down ; wait 60 ; ifconfig ep0 up I get about a minute of pings and then the buffers fill up again. To get this information, I used the systat program to see what was available. My configuration is: HP Vectra XM series with an adaptec 2740, a 3c509 and generic sound card. P120 with 32 megs of memory. 3) mountd hangs at startup. I did a ktrace of mountd and it seems to hang right as it reads resolv.conf. I read in todays mail about the issue of having non locally resolvable hostnames in /etc/resolv.conf ( Ie. ones normally resolved over the network ) and I will add them to the /etc/hosts file and fix /etc/hosts.conf to check that first and see if that solves the problem. I am rather frustrated and I have to have this machine working, so I am downgrading back to 2.1 until this issue is resolved.

Does that shed any light as to whether it was our BIOS or IDE interface doing the translation, or is was the Ontrack Disk Manager? We aren't too unhappy at this point that FreeBSD takes up the entire drive. However, an interesting afterthought. My collegue has two IDE hard drives > 1GB in size. We only installed to the slave drive and he reserves the 'Master', C:, drive for DOS and MS Windows. His C: drive's data is fine, but DOS fdisk reports that it too now has only a maximum size of 504MB. Fips reports a corrupted boot sector for the drive entirely filled with FreeBSD, but doesn't report any such corruption on his C drive. What might this imply about his setup?

Dos can't read a disk that size without some sort of translation. ie: LBA, or others. (Ontrack Disk manager.. ) Were you running something like Ontrack Disk manager! I sure hope not! If you were it's a gonner! Thus any data is as well! If not, And your BIOS or IDE Interface card is translating, Then somehow they got hosed! Check the settings, Do a FDISK /MBR to fix the boot record. WARNING!! DO NOT USE FDISK /MBR IF USING A DISK MANAGER FOR TRANSLATION. As well as give up on installing FreeBSD untill you get some hardware to do the translation! ie: LBA IDE interface, (Improperly called EIDE) -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

If not, you could always *trick* AMANDA into dumping to disk: AMANDA spools all of the stuff that it is going to write into a "working disk". The ``taper'' task copies this stuff onto the actual tape.

If pine can do this without problems, that identifies the connection to the university as the problem. To queue the outgoing change the line in sendmail.cf that says 0di to 0dq. And/or add this to sendmail flags; I run sendmail -bd & out of rc.local and have sendmail turned off in sysconfig. Then in .pinerc you set smpt-server=localhost. Also enable suspend. You can then suspend pine and look at the mail q with mailq, and then use sendmail -q & to send it (and go back to pine with fg). Later you can look at the mailq and see if the mail got sent. This mail is spooled in /var/spool/mqueue; you need to be root to read or alter it. Pine also has a debugging mode that will send you messages about its performance....I think you can turn that on in the setup.

(Sorry I shouldn't of said it) FreeBSD in itself needs no translation! FreeBSD can handle HUGE disks on it's own. My point was to be: If you use a Diskmanager for translation that you are taking great risks for no reason, Plugin IDE interface boards that do HW translation are cheap!

The second drive partition after I installed FreeBSD is as follows: Offset Size End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 1008 1007 - 6 unused 0 1008 512,064 513,071 wd1s1 4 extended 5 = 513,072 541,296 1,054,367 wd1s2 3 freebsd 165 C= I saw some questions similar to mine on the search engine, but, where can I find the answers to those questions? By the way, when I install, I did not see where it ask me which drive I want to install Boot manager, I supposed it just install on my first dirve, right? Thank you for your patience.

I'm running FBSD 2.1.0 on a P100 w/ 24MB (soon to be 64), NCR 810 SCSI, 2 SCSI drives, 2 IDE drives and INN from the ports collection. After starting INN everything runs smoothly; feeds come in/go out fine, nnrp clients connect and read/post fine etc etc. After running for about 15-30 minutes everything stops. All incoming and outgoing nntp feeds close, nnrp clients hang, ctlinnd hangs, and when I telnet to the nntp port it times out with dest unreachable. From a ps listing everything looks normal. Everything was working fine until I reinstalled FBSD a few days ago. All configuration is the same as before the reinstall. I've also recompiled with MMAP turned off without any difference. It seems slow though even in the first 15-30 minutes it runs. Any ideas?

My collegue has a SONY 2x speed IDE CDROM and the IDE installation program is not detecting his. Are there any updated drivers at Walnut Creek that we should download and try? If so, where would we find them and documentation on how to incorporate the new drivers into the kernel sources? If not, is work ongoing?

Someone told me that it would be implemented soon for NetBSD (no modem emulation coming alas). Then I asked about FreeBSD, and he said that work was only for NetBSD, but that someone can port it to FreeBSD. It requires a modified kernel PPP and PPPD. My question: is someone tracking BISDN and porting it to FreeBSD? Any chance of sync PPP on ISDN available anytime soon? As much as I hate it, but I'll have to install Linux tonight since that is the only system I can really use with my new ISDN connection. This is a good example of how extremely counterproductive the BSD splits are, and that although Linux is much less clean, the large numbers are a big advantage: much more hardware support and software available.

Now pine is sending my mail into the queue as I would expect, and sendmail -q returns no errors. However, the mail still sits in my queue. I must warn you, before today, i didn't know I even HAD sendmail on my system. I guess it's standard issue... I tried to change the line as you suggested: To queue the outgoing change the line in sendmail.cf that says 0di to 0dq. And/or add this to sendmail flags my sendmail.cf does not have any text matching "0d" at all. I'm not sure what to add the the sendmail flags. Thanks for all the help! Ken ANNELISE'S SUGGESTION WAS: Ken, if you haven't solved the pine problem yet you might want to queuing the outgoing mail. If pine can do this without problems, that identifies the connection to the university as the problem. To queue the outgoing change the line in sendmail.cf that says 0di to 0dq. And/or add this to sendmail flags; I run sendmail -bd & out of rc.local and have sendmail turned off in sysconfig. Then in .pinerc you set smpt-server=localhost. Also enable suspend. You can then suspend pine and look at the mail q with mailq, and then use sendmail -q & to send it (and go back to pine with fg). Later you can look at the mailq and see if the mail got sent. This mail is spooled in /var/spool/mqueue; you need to be root to read or alter it. Pine also has a debugging mode that will send you messages about its performance....I think you can turn that on in the setup.

I guess it's standard issue... Yes...but you may not have it running. You have to either start it up from sysconfig with some flags (-bd, I think) or put it in rc.local or even rc at the end. If it's running it should show up in ps ax.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1 I have installed irc-2.8.21. The default configuration has encryption turned on for server operators (O: and o: lines). There are no utilities in /usr/local/bin (or there abouts) to do the password encryption. Then I finally found the /usr/ports/net/irc/work/irc2.8.21/ircd/crypt directory. There, "make install" does not work (even after I edited the make file to have the correct path for ircd.conf), and mkpasswd is not executable. Then I changed the config.h include file to disable the operator password encryption, and could not get ircd to make again. Any ideas? Please help. Thank you. - Bill.

I run phoenix.dal.net on the DALnet IRC Network, we just upgraded to FreeBSD 2.1.5 (BTW if you're going to run an IRC server UPGRADE or you'll find a mem leak in some ircd's with anything below 2.1.5) under the config.h - change the #define CRYPT OPER PASSWORD to #undef CRYPT OPER PASSWORD So far I havent been able to get freeBSD to use the crypt or even compile with the crypt there is defined. It just wont work. If anyone has a fix I know myself and 5 other DALnet servers who will be ever gratefull - I'm told there is a way around it to crypt the passwords but I haven't found anyone who knows.

FreeBSD doesn't require such niceties as OnTrack to make use of the full disk, so I can't determine if the translation was done by the BIOS or another agent.

However, if you need a translator and don't have it installed, you get this result. DOS communicates with the disk through the BIOS INT 13 calls; it's only as good as the BIOS is. FreeBSD accesses the controller hardware directly and thus bypasses any BIOS limitations during normal operation. THe only place the BIOS comes in is on boot; once the kernel comes up then the wdc driver takes over. Disks >1024 cylinders on non-supporting BIOSs require a translator to fool the BIOS into thinking that the disk is really 1023 cylinders. It does this by mulitplying the number of heads, making the BIOS think the disk has 64 heads (which isn't true, it probably has about 6). Thus: 1024 cylinders x 32 sectors/track (?) x 64 heads = 2,097,152 addressable sectors. (Or something like that -- I am no good at disk math) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 8 23:05:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA13982 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 23:05:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts7-line3.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.50]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA13971 for ; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 23:05:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id XAA00262; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 23:04:48 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 23:04:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Gary Chrysler cc: Neil Fowler Wright , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 3Com Etherlink III 3C509 netstat -r rproblems In-Reply-To: <32096A34.531@ime.net> 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 Thu, 8 Aug 1996, Gary Chrysler wrote: > Neil Fowler Wright wrote: > > > > Hi, > > I have got FreeBSD up and runnign successfully, but I cannot get it to > > talk to the Local Network. > > > > We have a P166 with an Adaptec SCSI Driver and a 3COM Etherlink III card. > > Origionally there was an IRQ collision between the two cards, but using the > > 3C905 Network Interface with an IRQ of 8 both now come up successfully. > > > > And using 8 works..

I partitioned my disk using fdisk utility of DOS. Let me guess: You installed FreeBSD to a second hard disk and installed the boot manager. Sysinstall will screw up and put the boot manager on the wrong disk. All you need to do is install it on the first disk yourself.

You have a SCSI disk? That line boots the kernel off of the FIRST disk in the SCSI disk chain. I think you wanted this for a double-IDE situation: wd(1,a)/kernel Or am I misinterpeting you?

BootEasy probably got installed on the second disk only! (I guess this should be a FAQ by now, but I think it's not :-(. The 2.1.0 installation will only change the boot block on drives you asked it to install on. You'll need it on the first disk as well. Just install it manually (it's in the /tools directory on the CD or under that at ftp.freebsd.org), from DOS. Note that this will work unchanged only if your second drive is the slave of the primary controller (i.e. wd1). If it is on the secondary controller (the disk is named wd2) you'll have to build a custom kernel. > > I use novice installation.

As I said before, there is a bug (feature???) of the 2.1.0 sysinstall that makes it install BootEasy on disks it is asked to install FreeBSD on, and on those disks only. The installation program asked you what disk you'd like to install on, and you probably chose just the second disk (should make sense). After partitioning it, it gave you the option of installing BootEasy on it. Had you chosen to install FreeBSD on both disks, it would have asked you for each one separately (even if you wouldn't have changed a single bit on the first disk), so you'd have the chance of installing BootEasy on the correct disk.

If not, is work ongoing? Ugh, Sony. Have you tried configuring his similarly to yours in respect to positioning / jumpering on the IDE busses? Sony tends to violate standards, so I wouldn't be surprised if it never works. Perhaps someone with experience with these drives can comment. Actually, are you _positive_ it's a ATAPI/IDE CD and not a proprietary interface CD? There is a Sony CD driver (scd) in the system for proprietary controllers.

Funny that people in Berkeley build software to Linux and not even compile it for BSD Unix! Is BSD unix loosing it's "magic" even in Berkeley itself? Seppo PS. The GIMP's functionality includes: Support for 8, 15, 16, & 24 bit displays Ordered and Floyd-Steinberg Dithering for 8 bit RGB, Grayscale, & Indexed color modes Multiple views of same image to ease complex tasks Fast zooming and panning on images Full suite of selection tools - (rectangle, ellipse, freehand, fuzzy, bezier, intelligent) Transform tools - (rotate, scale, shear, flip) Crop, color picker, bucket-fill, blend, & text tools Paint tools - (paintbrush, airbrush, clone, blur, sharpen, convolve) Full set of brush masks and support for arbitrary brushes File format support - (jpg, tif, gif, png, xpm) Numerous effects filters - (blur, edge detect, pixelize, ...) Channel operations - (add, composite, blend, ...) A call to all programmers! A good deal of the GIMP's functionality is invested in external modules, called plug-ins. These independent programs are called from the GIMP to run as separate processes and carry out essential tasks such as loading and saving images, running effects filters, combining multiple images with channel operations, and communicating with other programs (such as scanning software, ray tracers, other image manipulation packages, etc). There are in fact so many things that we expect to accomplish with plug-ins, that we don't have a fraction of the time required to see them written. We expect that there are some really sharp folks out there with esoteric knowledge on such subjects as creating a realistic lens flare filter - something neither of us has the slightest idea about, but would love to see implemented. So, we're asking you, assuming you have interest in augmenting the GIMP's functionality, to get in touch with us about filters you'd like to write. One thing that will really help get things rolling will be the addition of a "plug-in writing" tutorial to our growing set of tutorial pages.

Yes, but not the standard ones. (I have 2.1R, so maybe it has changed in 2.1.5) So: sh has no rsh (there is rsh, but it's remote shell), csh has no rcsh, bash has no rbash, (I don't know zsh and tcsh) BUT on ports, there is pdksh (it is a better ksh than bash and zsh!), and it supports it. If I remember well, it's 5.2.3, and the last version is 2.5.7 from ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca:/pub/pdksh (it has many new bug fixes - and maybe bugs, too) - so use that. Or get the original AT&T ksh from http://www.reseach.att.com:80/orgs/ssr/book/reuse/ (maybe it has some problems, the ksh93(version xxx/d) had a Linux a.out, and a BSDI 2.0 version, so we had to use the Linux version with linuxemu - it worked fine -, but the last version xxx/f(?) is a Linux elf (interesting, but a today letter from David Korn says, it's aout), and a BSDI 2.0 - so in <= 2.1.5, we cannot run it - only in -current(?)).

For ircd this works well, whether it works on the machine for users or not I'm not sure the machine is a dedicated irc machine that runs one of DALnet's main hubs and also services (which is 40 M loaded into memory). in the dir /sys/sys there's a file called types.h (I'm told you can add an options in the kernel too but I prefer to change it here.) Right now it reads FD_SETSIZE 256 it needs to read FD_SETSIZE 1024 also add these two lines into the kernel options "CHILD_MAX=128" options "OPEN_MAX=128" This combination works real well for my own machine connected (stgenesis.org) as it runs a mud, 20 mailing lists and about 20 users with a 486 DX4 with 16M memory and never makes it over .10 load or 15% CPU (And these are heavy lists - at least 100-500 on each with 100-200 emails from each per day) Hope this helps. -Leigh Gaffney Administrator/WebMistress phoenix.dal.net DALnet IRC Network "Wolenczak" - wolenczak@dal.net http://www.dal.net From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 9 06:38:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA12030 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 06:38:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.EUnet.hu (mail.eunet.hu [193.225.28.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA12024 for ; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 06:38:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.EUnet.hu, id PAA20016; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 15:38:16 +0200 Received: by CoDe.CoDe.hu (NAA01485); Fri, 9 Aug 1996 13:30:17 GMT From: Gabor Zahemszky Message-Id: <199608091330.NAA01485@CoDe.CoDe.hu> Subject: mountd hangs To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 9 Aug 1996 13:30:17 +0000 (GMT) Cc: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu In-Reply-To: from "Doug White" at Aug 8, 96 10:53:36 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > 3) mountd hangs at startup.

Is there _any_ way that i can salvage the 3 1/2 hours that has already gone into the ftp install before i lost my connection?

I am unable to boot the FreeBSD system that is already placed, as i never got to finish the install. I hate to think of all that time wasted, and i will be waiting to see if anyone has any ideas of how to recover and finish the install. I tried to immediately re-connect, but the install program just seemed to spin it's wheels, not realinzing that the connection dropped and no more data was transfered (i didn't think any more would be). Any insights would be much appriciated.

However I can not get the link light to go on. I an running 2.2 June/06 SNAP since it has the PCCARD support. The irq is 5 and mem is 300. However I am not sure about the momory at 0xd8000. The problem is that the 3C589C is too smart for its own good and it finds its own memory dynamically and counts on its device driver to tell the rest of the world where it's at. This can not be set statically from the DOS install disk. Therefor it is up to the PCCARD services to negotiate with it. I, evidently, don't know how to make this happen. BTW ifconfig appears to be able to set things up and teh kernel recognizes zp0 and gives the (I hope) correct ethernet address. And the link light works under DOS in the diagnostics. Changing the kernel's idea of the memory from 0xd8000 to 0xde000(as reported in the DOS diag tool) causes a kernel panic. Before I burn up more time on this has someone figured out how to set things up correctly?

About one in every dozen reboots, when the network card is enabled and ifconfig'ed, it creates a packet storm and locks up - you can only clean things up by turning off the misbehaving machine.

I have compiled the GENERIC configuration, and it just detects the CD-ROM after the second startup (and just if I open the CD-ROM door). I am not using the devices mcd0... but the wcd0 in the second controller wdc1. I thought it was some problem in the CD-ROM cable, but the MS-DOS detects the CD at the first time, so it's not. So How can I fixe the problem? The CD-ROM is a LION 6x. I really dont now if is important but I have installed the FreeBSD 2.2 CURRENT. Another question:I get the pgcc compiler using the ports collection but when I try to recompile the system (in single user, and I am talking about the kernel), I get some errors in final linker stage (I think the compiler performs any kind of optimization and get out some variables definitions, that maybe are not used in the file where it is declared). So, there is any different Makefile for PGCC?

I have enabled ttyd1 (com2) (as std.2400) and set tem type to "adm12" in /etc/ttys. What happens, is I get the Banner message and login prompt displayed correctly, but when I type my username, characters get double imaged on the terminal. If I ignore this, and login as a user with no password, it gets all the bay to a shell prompt. At this point if I type any command and press enter, the terminal hangs. Nothing else displays until I kill the process and getty prompts for login again. Now if I login to an account with a password the terminal hangs immediately after pressing enter after the password. After a few minutes, login reports that it timed out, and I'm back to a login prompt.

Are these assumptions correct, and if so, how do I go about fixing this? Also: If anyone has any information on programing the Function keys on the adm12 terminal, I'd like to know how. Several of the keys have usless (to me) text strings bound to them like "GO DOS", "GO LOGON", etc... Thanks! Please respond via email, as I can't follow freebsd-questions due to volume... ------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.

(i.e. ./X ) Unix only looks in your path for the executable unless you explicitly type the path name.

If it is null, then your should put it in your /etc/rc so that it'll always be there. My $PATH is set to: /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin in your rc file, don't forget to export your PATH, so that it will remain after rc finishes executing. It will look like this: PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin export PATH If that's not it, check the file permissions on the executable files, with ls -l. This will show you something like: -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 16384 Jul 13 19:48 vidcontrol -r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 8798 Jul 13 19:48 vidfont -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 12288 Jul 13 19:48 vipw -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 12288 Jul 13 19:48 vnconfig /\ \____ the first spot is - for a regular file and d for a directory the next three are read, write, and execute for the file owner. the three after than are r,w,x for the group, and final three are for anybody on the system. Most of your executable should be like these. If the aren't then you really messed up the install, and you should probably do it again, unless a guru has a shell script or something to make it right. Hope this was helpful. These things are covered in any basic book about UNIX in general.

(well, my translation of some of their code -- it used to be assembler, now it's C.) i hope it helps them sell cameras -- it's certainly made mine more useful to me. to describe winc, i'll just quote part of the README... ---------------- What you get is: - three programs: - winc, which will take pictures from the command line -- it has too many options, and does too much. i use it during development of the winc library, so it can do just about anything the library can. usually, though, all you want is "winc -c >image.pnm". - wincd, which will repetitively take pictures, only saving the ones that are "interesting". i use this (in combination with "wincd_script") to drive a web page of recent pictures of my dog, waiting at home until i get there. no, i won't publish the URL. :-) - fwinc, a simple X11 program which continuously displays low-resulotion "viewfinder" images. this is useful for aiming and focusing the camera. it could (and probably will be) easily extended to be a more general WinCam application. - a library: libwinc.a, which can be linked into other programs. - some patches for the "xv" image manipulation tool, which give it simple built-in wincam support. - a shell script (wincd_script) which does periodic snapshots, and will optionally save past snaps. ---------------- paul -- --------------------- paul fox, pgf@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma) -- Gary D.

I don't think pgcc is trusted enough to compile the kernel yet. You probably need to modify the CFLAGS in the Makefile and remove the -O flag.

The above CDROM jsut isn't available when it tries to retrieve the filesystems. I am using atapiflp as prescribed, as the inst_ide just crashes, but none of the CDROm types seem applicable. I have also changed the drive jumpers to Primary as suggested, but this has also made no difference. To try and get round this I have endevoured also to copy the files from the CDROM to the DOS partition, and install from there, but it keeps getting errors from the DOS drive when it /stand/cpio (extracts) the files. cheers, Neil From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 9 16:01:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA15888 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 16:01:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from seabass.progroup.com (catfish.progroup.com [206.24.122.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA15878 for ; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 16:01:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from craig@localhost) by seabass.progroup.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id QAA20532 for questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 16:01:46 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199608092301.QAA20532@seabass.progroup.com> Subject: Re: IMAKE Files To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Fri, 9 Aug 1996 16:01:46 -0700 (PDT) From: "Craig Shaver" In-Reply-To: from "Ken Marsh" at Aug 9, 96 03:30:05 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25 ME8b] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > On Fri, 9 Aug 1996, John Diggan wrote: > > > I am trying to make ports packages from the /usr/ports directory and > > have received error messages "imake: not found".

It is used worldwide to drive web sites, ftp sites, irc servers, ISPs, and hundreds of other uses. However, it can't create your own domain name; you have to do that through the InterNIC. It can certainly make use of a name that you've applied for though. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 9 20:49:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA29798 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 20:49:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts8-line10.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.74]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA29792 for ; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 20:49:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA00238; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 20:49:16 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 9 Aug 1996 20:49:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Angel Gonzalez cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Help!

In addition to the mentioned changes, you may wish to adjust your 'maxusers' value in your kernel config. I bumped it to 64 (2 x 32MB RAM) just for kicks, even though this is a personal workstation :) I guess 'maxusers' is a master switch for increasing buffers and whatnot throughout the system.

RAM parity is an issue between the BIOS and the memory, not really a operating system issue. Now, defective memory is. I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions. The best thing for you may be to find a good (local?) source & manufacturer for your RAM, and stick with them, and make sure they'll take back bad RAM. It's rather pathetic how much bad RAM I see on this list. I would think that RAM manufacturers would hold themselves to higher standards, especially with the proliferation of OSs with the memory usage sophistication like FreeBSD.

This can not be set statically from the DOS install disk. Yes it can. Just don't use Card Services on the DOS side; IT _will_ reconfig the card settings. (Use an F5 boot if necessary; I believe the installer or setup is intelligent enough to fire up the point enabler if Card Services isn't installed) We have a FreeBSD laptop (a Dell Latitude) with a 3c589 that we have to watch carefully when we use the ethernet card under DOS.

I *highly* recommend people do __NOT__ use Eudora to change passwords. It even ruins pop on the University's Suns. They should telnet & login and use passwd to change their password instead. This allows you to enforce minumum password standards too, which the U of O does. We had a situation where popd picked up the change but login didn't, and it made a *huge* mess.

Wcarchive is currently getting about 400,000 hits/day. It does this while handling an average of about 900 simultaneous FTP users. All of this combined results in an average of about 20Mbits/sec of outbound traffic in the daytime. The WWW stuff is actually a very small portion of the overall CPU and network load - perhaps 10% of it, so one should be able to do >1M hits/day even with just a few T1's. A Pentium/133 with 64MB should do nicely for such an application, but that's just a guess. I have it on good authority that a certain major FreeBSD-using WWW search engine/index is doing several million hits/day with a machine not too dissimilar to this (although it's a 166)...so it's possible. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 10 00:17:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA16118 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 00:17:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from falcon.inetnebr.com (root@falcon.inetnebr.com [199.184.119.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA16104 for ; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 00:17:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from SYSLINK (lin050.inetnebr.com [206.222.195.50]) by falcon.inetnebr.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA03536 for ; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 02:18:19 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <320C353C.76E1@inetnebr.com> Date: Sat, 10 Aug 1996 02:07:40 -0500 From: Bill Hilburn Reply-To: bill_h@inetnebr.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5a (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Upgrading form 2.1 to 2.1.5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.1 CD Set and Love it !!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I recently posted a question asking if i could recover from an ftp install crash. Well, i think i did, well.. kinda. I re-enterd the install menu, set the mount points on the pre-existing partitions, and selected the XFree86 dist. It installed. But i can't seem to get startx to be recognized. I go to the /usr/X116R(or whichever) directory and there are all the files. (actually, i think they are in /bin in that dir) But when i type 'startx' i get a message that the file isn't there. When i ls -l the directory, they are all there, and have value, so it should be there. My question is, where and what modifications do i have to make to files so the system accepts the command? And better yet, how can i configure the shell to show me what are directories, executables, and sym links? I know this can be done, I just don't know how to do it, and this would help me to 'see' what the startx file is.. incase it is not an executable. Anyway, after the XFree86 was installed, i finished the install routine, and i can now boot FreeBSD. I have a fully funtional (as far as i can tell) base dist., and many applications work. I have ppp access, though i have yet to make a script so i can include the DNS so i can ftp to freebsd.org (i am working on getting the ip to circomvent this for now) so i can get the kernel sources. I don't seem to have a /sys dir, which is sym linked to /usr/src/sys (which doesn't exist). I am guessing that some of this may be from the failed install, while some may be a result of what i didn't get as part of the packages. Oh, and the pkg_manage doesn't show _any_ packages.. should it if i haven't used it to install anything? Should it show the doc, man, info, and XFree86 stuff? If there is no fairly straight forward way to remadie this situation, i guess the install was a failiure, though like i said, i have access to quite a bit of the system. If anyone has ideas as to how to 'clean' up this mess i would appriciate the info. Seems to me like a powerfull system like FreeBSD (unixy) should be able to straighten it out somehow. Even if i have to help it out some ;) Thanks to all those who have been helpfull so far, and please be patient with me, as i am pretty much unix illiterate but trying to learn. Thanks again, Ray, the 'dammit, i'll get it to work yet' guy ;) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 10 00:44:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA17174 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 00:44:21 -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 AAA17167 for ; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 00:44:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.1/8.6.6) id RAA03956; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 17:44:13 +1000 (EST) Date: Sat, 10 Aug 1996 17:44:10 +1000 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au Reply-To: Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Adaptec 2940UW + Seagate ST32155 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 posted this message to the hardware list but haven't had any response so I thought I'd try -questions for a wider audience. I have just got myself a new Seagate 2GB SCSI drive (2XL W Ultra) and am having problems getting things to work with it. This is my first foray into the world of SCSI disks so I don't exclude the possibility of doing something stupid. The drive is terminated properly as far as I can tell (jumper on terminator enable and on term. power from drive) and the controller is configured to terminate automatically. Since this is the only SCSI device I have I think it should be OK. The Adaptec SCSISelect messages on bootup suggest that the drive is detected OK (gives model#, drive designation etc. so that part of it looks OK. If I boot to DOS (using my IDE disk) it seems to take too long after the starting msdos... message but eventually I get a prompt. This delay also happens if I boot to my old IDE installation of FreeBSD (2.1R) before getting the boot prompt. If I run fdisk under DOS it hangs for a while and then returns a prompt. fdisk /status says no fixed disks installed (even though I booted from one). Booting to FBSD gives the following relevant dmesg lines: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:17 ahc0: aic7870 Ultra Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, aic7870, 255 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST32155W 0528" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors) If I boot FBSD from a boot.flp disk (2.1R) I get the same messages during the boot sequence but never get to the install menu. Looking at the second console (Alt-F2) I see these messages: ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out sd0(ahc0:0:0): BUS DEVICE RESET message queued ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset#1. 1 SCBs aborted This has all got me quite confused so I would appreciate any insights you may have.

A fresh install of FreeBSD onto the SCSI disk, or format it and use it as extra disk space when booting from (E)IDE? You should be able to use the 2.1.5R boot disk to do either one.

If not, is work ongoing? Yes, I can confirm that there have been some improvements. On 2.1.0, I had to hack the probing of wdc1 IDE drives out to get my Sony CDU55E detected (like your config, my CD-ROM is the only device hanging off wdc1). I'm now running 2.2-960612-SNAP and my CD-ROM was detected without modification. Kudos to whoever has been working on the WD & ATAPI code! Once detected, the drive works well -- no problems at all -- but the IDE probe timeouts (done before the ATAPI is picked up) are very long. The only kernel tweak I've made for my CD-ROM is to comment out probing of the IDE drives on wdc1 so my machine will boot 20-30 seconds faster. Anyone know if there's a kernel config option to change the IDE probe timeouts or suppress probing for specific IDE disks?

May I have missed any point? >Any hint would be highly appreciated. TIA This sounds familiar. If you have your TERM set right (vi uses terminfo by the way, not termcap, if I remember correctly) and the FreeBSD specification for that terminal is correct for the terminal on the other end, the other thing to try is explicitly setting the number of lines for your terminal in the shell on the other end. If the remote box is System-Vish (I think Unixware is), do: setenv LINES 50 or however big your terminal is (or "export LINES=50" if you're a ksh/bash shell user). If the remote end were BSD-ish, you'd do: stty rows 50 Incidentally, if your # columns isn't 80, you might also need to: setenv COLUMNS 132 (System V), OR stty columns 132 (BSD) This might fix your problem. If it does, its a step forward but it's a pain to mess with this whenever you log in or change window sizes. The better solution (if its open to you) is to get a telnetd for Unixware that will pass the terminal geometry across the telnet connection (I'm assuming that Unixware's vi supports window size changes, but that might be not be true--I've never used Unixware). You might also try rlogin instead of telnet. I use that from home to work, and don't have to mess with this -- rlogin client, rlogin server, and all my apps on the other end support dynamic window resizing and renegotiate the terminal size behind the scenes. Hope this helps.

The system hangs at boot time, so I haven't gotten to the FreeBSD part yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I have a 486DX2/66 VLB system running FreeBSD 2.1.0. It has a Promise 2300+ (with on board bios disabled) connected to a single Quantum Fireball 1gig IDE drive. I'm trying to install a Adaptec 1542cf scsi card in one of the available five 16 bit slots. The only scsi device I have is a Archive Python external drive. The main problem here is, when booting, the system just hangs, (I'm booting with the python connected & powered up): * Post executes, 'American Megatrends', 'Hit DEL to enter setup'... * Red LED on 1542 flashes about 30 times (1 minute), LED light goes out (probing finishes?) * Floppy light goes out * Hard drive makes a brief noise * System hangs at the same 'American Megatrends' screen. I'm unable to enter the cmos setup (hitting DEL won't work), nor can I enter the 'SCSIselect' program (never prompted for it). With switch 1 on the 1542 (sw1 - termination installed) facing towards the card, and sw2-8 away from the card, the system still hangs, but the screen is readable. With the default factory setting; all switches away from the card, the screen quickly goes fuzzy (like watching television with the vacuum cleaner running), and the system still hangs. So, here are my questions: 1) There is a block of 8 switches on the upper left hand corner of the 1542. All of the switches are set to the side which is AWAY from the card. Is this the ON(closed) or OFF(open) position? 2) Since I'm only using one device, can I switch off those other switches? Or still better, how should these switches be set? My floppy drive is connected to the promise 2300+. According to the sheet that came with the 1542, the floppy switch on the 1542 should be disabled in this case. So, I've booted with the floppy switch; sw5, in both positions. No luck, system hangs. The card is out now, or I wouldn't be able to write this letter. I'm new to scsi devices, so any advice will be appreciated.

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 have a POP3 server at my isp, and an account set up on it. I also made the popper port without difficulty. However, there is no documentation with popper other than the man page, which says: (The official port number specified in RFC 1081 for POP version 3 is port 110. How- ever, some POP3 clients attempt to contact the server at port 109, the POP version 2 port. Unless you are running both POP2 and POP3 servers, you can simply define both ports for use by the POP3 server. This is explained in the installation instructions later on.) I want to know how much later these installation instructions will be coming along, because they are not on the manpage, nor anywhere that I can find them. I have all of my outgoing mail going into /var/spool/mqueue, and my sendmail flags are ``-bd -odq'', so I can send my mail in one batch with ``sendmail -q''. Now I just need to get popper to nab my mail from my POP3 account and drop it into /usr/home/mydir. Is this not what popper does? I would sincerely appreciate any help or direction toward a website or other source of documentation.

Organization: disorganization Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk That's a prejudiced subject line isn't it? But searching through the archives I turned up Dave Anderson's <@no_email_address - fix your MUA Dave!> message of 16 June where he solved his anomolous (panics in different places) panic problem by swapping out RAM for RAM in another system. The same thing happened to me today after bringing 2.1.5R up on a P133, HX chipset, 32MB of 60ns EDO. Panics in different places around the time when the slices are mounted...and usually with nasty corruption of files in the root slice. 32MB of 60ns non EDO works fine. EDO may or may not work under DOS/'doze [who can say? they don't push the system] Usual cache disable/tear everything out except minimum necessary/fiddle with timing didn't help. So Dave, if you're reading this, was that swapped-in memory non-EDO? Is anyone sucessfully running 2.1.5R on a Triton HX chipset with >= 32MB of EDO RAM?

I just had this problem, after upgrading my XEmacs from 19.13 to 19.14 (from the source, not from the package). It seems that when XEmacs reads your .emacs file, it will stop if there is an error, and therefore never read in the .xemacs-options file.

We've been running the FreeBSD system with NFS and NIS for about 8 months now without any major problems. The NFS and NIS server is a Linux machine. Since a couple of days ago NIS is not running correctly. It causes the portmapper to generate multiple portmap processes on the Linux box and bot portmap and ypbind on the freebsd box begin taking up a hideous amount of system resources (The CPU usage is something like 90%). The only thing that happened out of the ordinary is that the /usr directory got filled up because of the news history file grew too large. After that was fixed we rebooted the system and no users are allowed to log in on the FreeBSD NIS client. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tamas.

It's in there, but I'm sure that's along the right lines because I can't telnet or rlogin to my machine from outside or even from inside when specifying 'localhost' as the destination. Could this mean that inetd.conf isn't being read? I do a 'ps -ax' and don't see any rlogind, telnetd, or anything of the sort. However, I do see inetd. Are all of the other daemons that start in inetd.conf bundled into the one inetd process? I also get ifconfig errors when booting that say that tun0 and lo0 don't exist. Here's the pertinent section of my /etc/sysconfig where I define lo0 and tun0: ---------- network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_tun0="inet spacehog.structured.net 206.58.0.100 netmask 0xffffff00" ---------- Note that the IP address in there is the Livingston Portmaster on the other side of my connection (pm2e10.structured.net). Is it appropriate to use the modem handler for a gateway? Does it mean anything that I have a /dev/tun0 but not a /dev/lo0? Here is where I define tun and ppp in my kernel. I know these definitions are correct because I had it working before... ---------- pseudo-device ppp 1 pseudo-device tun 1 ---------- BTW, I fooled around enough and got e-mail to send to my machine.
