With those reservations, the following holds: FreeBSD modifies the boot record only on disks you asked it to install on. This means that if you install to the second disk, and ask for the boot manager you'll get it on the second disk (which is not too useful). The remedy would be one of two: 1. Install BootEasy from DOS (look in CD's tools directory). 2. When installing FreeBSD, tell it to use both disks, and not create anything on the first one. It will then ask you what to put in each boot sector separately. Note that if your second disk is the master on the secondary controller (wd2), you won't be able to boot properly anyhow, and you'll need to rebuild a kernel with the following line in it: config kernel root on wd2 As I said, I only have experience with that on 2.1.0, so it may not hold for you if you're installing 2.1.5.

I guess it's not an IDE anyway (or maybe it's not a STANDARD ide). I am sure it's not a SCSI cause the manual talks abot IDE a lot.

Other than standard disk setup tasks (disklabel/newfs), you'll need to: 1) Copy the current contents of /var/mail to the new disk before you mount it, otherwise those inboxes will mysteriously disappear and the users will not be happy. You may want to close down sendmail for the time being so that mail isn't coming through while you're copying the files. 2) Add an entry to /etc/fstab so that the disk is automatically mounted each time the system is started.

The connection between the client disappeared somehow. This is probably caused by either network problems or the client hitting the 'stop' button.

I have just upgraded my hardware extensively and decided to install a fresh copy of FreeBSD rather than try to move the OS from one drive to the other. The problem that I am having is that the floppy boot locks up at the very beginning; that is, the little rotating thing only turns about halfway, and then everything stops. I've tried including the -c option, but it never gets the kernel loaded to do anything with it. I have tried this from several floppies, and I'm certain I downloaded the image with binary mode. I also used RAWRITE from DOS, not Windows, so there was no multitasking of any kind going on. Pertinant hardware information: I have a Pentium 100 system with 32 megs of RAM and 1.6 gig hard drive, which the BIOS is using in LBA mode. (I don't think LBS mode is the problem, because the floppy boot never really even gets started). The video is a Diamond Stealth 64 (S3 chip) with 2 megs of DRAM. The only other hardware onboard is a sound card and my Mitsumi IDE controller. Any idea what is going wrong?

I found the problem after a little trial and error: With my particular Pentium motherboard (an Asus) I have built-in IO controllers, and the option in the BIOS to swap drives A/B. The kicker is that you can either make the swap in the BIOS or make the swap in the controller. I had been swapping just in the BIOS, so I changed it to swap only in the controller. It worked perfectly once I had made the change. Well, almost perfectly... Sprintlink's routing spasms are keeping me from being able to FTP the distribution...

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk greetings, i found the following problem (or what i think is a problem) under 2.1.5-RELEASE. in the PH (CCSO phonebook) server, qi, there is a function that tries to detect what its standard input is. it calls getpeername() to see whether its stdin is a network connection, which it would be when invoked by inetd. the trouble is that this test is succeeding when it shouldn't be. i have a program that uses perl's open2 function. open2 does a fork and exec such that qi's stdin is a pipe which my perl program writes to, and such that qi's stdout/stderr is a pipe which my perl program reads from. so essentially i have a perl script to send commands to qi and read the results using pipes. however, when qi calls getpeername() on its standard input in this context, getpeername() returns 0! qi then reads the IP address returned, which is total garbage, but it proceeds thinking that its standard input is NOT a pipe. for reasons not worth going into, this breaks some stuff i depend on. can anyone explain this behavior? -- Matt Braithwaite #!/bin/perl -s-- -export-a-crypto-system-sig -RSA-3-lines-PERL http:// $m=unpack(H.$w,$m."\0"x$w),$_=`echo "16do$w 2+4Oi0$d*-^1[d2%Sa www.sjca.edu/ 2/d0; Sun, 1 Sep 1996 12:12:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from craigs@localhost) by solar.os.com (8.7/8.7.0) id PAA00284; Sun, 1 Sep 1996 15:23:34 -0400 Date: Sun, 1 Sep 1996 15:23:34 -0400 From: Craig Shrimpton Subject: Re: Aliasing question To: Steve cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 1 Sep 1996, Steve wrote: > I'm running multiple Web site on a FreeBSD system and when I'm on > that system, I cannot ping to the aliased sites.

I originally grabbed sup from the ports collection, but to see if there was some problem with the version I'm running, I compiled the source from the baseline and the source on the 2.1.5 CD-ROM - all produce the same error. There is no `coll.host' file anywhere and AFAIK from the man page, it shouldn't be looking for one unless it thinks I'm trying to use the -s switch.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I have reviewed your online installation documentation and still have a couple of questions. I presently have two hard drives. Both are Western Digital Caviar drives. The original drive (c:\) is a 200MB drive that presently has MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1 installed with approximately 29MB free space left. I just have installed the second drive (slave) which is a 1.6GB drive. I have used fdisk on the second drive creating a 600MB primary dos partition and a 600MB dos extended parition. BTW I do not know or understand if this is what I should be doing... I also made these two partitions d:\ and e:\ drives. My intent was to partition the 1.6MB drive so I could run dos/windows applications and install FreeBSD. My original thought was I would partition the second drive into three sections thus reducing cluster sizes when writing files. Two partitions for dos/windows (d:\ and e:\) and the remaining 4MB area for BSD. Again, I do not know if this is a proper and logical approach or not. Is this a reasonable approach or is there a better one I should consider? Second question--if what I have done is reasonable and one of the better ways to partition the drive how do I access the 4MB area beyond the E:\ drive? How do install BSD in this unamed area? Any suggestions and assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I hope to be able to successful install FreeBSD on the new drive and still use part of the drive for dos/windows applications. Also any suggestions on which method I should use to download BSD would be appreciated. I have internet access via modem from my home through the university's computer system.

I would like to get all of release 2.1.5. How can I ftp the entire release under Windows95. I attempted to ftp the entire /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-Release directory and subdirectories from ftp.cslab.vt.edu but it fails due to symbolic links to the 2.1.0 release. Again my question is What do I need to download to have the entire 2.1.5 release of freebsd so that I can install it on my home computer? Another problem that I am having is that I am ftping the release with a windows95 ftp client and althought I can get files and directories that have more than 8 characters when I look at the directories in dos there is a ~ to compensate for the larger directories. Is there a workaround to this. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to win. I tried using sup, assuming that there whould be only a VERY few changes between 2.1.5 on the CD-ROM and 2.1.5-STABLE. Well, there do seem to be only a couple of changes here and there, but sup INSISTS on bringing in every file anyway. I'm using what I *thought* would keep it doing that: sup -u stable-supfile except that even if the file it is supping has exactly the same filedate and size, it is still replacing the linked file with a new copy!

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.

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.

Recently, his site admin configure the Cisco box to block all outgoing telnet traffic meaning we can NO longer keep in touch. My question is, is there a way of finding out the permitted outgoing ports on that Cisco box WITHOUT commiting something that is considered illegal ? I meant can I run some program to poke/gather info in that box to gather their ACL for outgoing service only ? I am NOT interested in what can go in but what can come out. The friend is NOT a computer person and has NOT much knowledge of TCP/IP etc so I can't get him to talk to the IT guy easily about those things.

Amazingly enough, cp worked and everything seemed to function okay after rebooting. I also did a "make world" to fix any problems this may have created for me. There is no real problem except for the files in my /stand directory are huge. A ls -l in /stand gives results like this: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 chmod -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 chown -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 cksum And a du /stand gives this: 204 /stand/help 13 /stand/etc 2 /stand/info/proflibs 5 /stand/info/des 2 /stand/info/games 2 /stand/info/manpages 3 /stand/info/bin 2 /stand/info/dict 2 /stand/info/info 18 /stand/info/src 37 /stand/info 43884 /stand This isn't a real problem, but I sure could use those extra 40 megs it has claimed. What I was woundering was, what would happen if I were just to delete those files in /stand? Or, could I delete them and then link then back to the appropriate files with ln? I guess, I really just do not know what signifiance these files in /stand have, and wanted to make sure I don't try to do anything which could bring my system down. Thanks!

FOUR megabytes of unallocated space, or did you mean FOUR HUNDRED megs? FreeBSD requires 4MB of _RAM_, and about 100MB of _hard_disk_space_. The only major problem would be the 1024 cylinder limitation. I would suggest saving the space you are allocating to FreeBSD at the *front* of the disk, and place the DOS slices behind that. (Install FreeBSD first, then make the DOS partitions) The 1024 cylinder limitation will not allow you to boot partitions that extend beyond 1024 cylinders, approximately 504MB. YOu should be OK to use a 600MB slice since the boot portion of the partition will be well below the limitation. > Second question--if what I have done is reasonable and one of the better > ways to partition the drive how do I access the 4MB area beyond the E:\ > drive? How do install BSD in this unamed area? The install procedure will take care of it.

The best way would be to ask the admin. Since they are outbound ports and you will be coming inbound, it's hard to find the holes going out. > The friend is NOT a computer person and has NOT much knowledge of TCP/IP > etc so I can't get him to talk to the IT guy easily about those things.

Don't really have enough information to say for sure. Do you know if it is an IDE/ATAPI interfaced drive (ie, it connects to the hard disk controller or hard disk ribbon cable)? Is this during or after installation? What have you done to set up the CDROM? Did it work during installation? If so, what did you configure, if anything?

It was sent out with the 2.1 CDs, but much of it still applies to 2.1.5. Just ask for it -- if you bought a CD they may send it to you for free. I don't know if that offer still stands or not.

It would be better to pull each distribution (/bin, /manpages, etc) separately, since at the end they have to be segregated anyway.

Is there a workaround to this. Nope. But the DOS-related files & distributions do conform to 8.3 filename limits. I'd install the system first and pull the ports & packages later, and then grab the ones you want. Just the packages take up most of a CDROM, just to give you an idea of how big the whole ports & packages tree is.

I guess it's not an IDE anyway (or maybe it's not a STANDARD ide). There's one IDE, just multiple firmware implementations. I usually associate Future Domain with SCSI, perhaps they make IDE controllers too. IN that case, then yes it's supported under the ATAPI driver. The magic configuration appears to be the slave of the first controller, but it may vary on your system. Also note that you will have to build a new kernel including the ATAPI options for it to work after installation. > I am sure it's not a SCSI cause the manual talks abot IDE a lot. I just > thought someone would know how to make it work or give me some pointers > like port, etc. It's configured through the IDE controllers, wich use semi-standard addresses. The defaults should work; if not, you'll have to check your jumpers.

Any suggestions. You need to start a PPP session on your ISP. You'll know you've gotten it when you see 'packet mode' appear on the screen (PPP can automatically determine if ppp has been started.) If you don't know how to do this then ask your ISP. Then type add 0 0 HISADDR to add the proper route. Then all of your net applications should work, given other things (such as nameserver) are set properly.

No, this is not "normal". If you look at the above ls(1) output, you'll see that all of the links have become broken; /stand is no longer a few gigantic hardlinked binaries. I'm sure that this is an artifact of how the files were copied ("cp -R" doesn't preserve hard links, and so that's what was probably used). > > And a du /stand gives this: > > > > 204 /stand/help > > 13 /stand/etc > > 2 /stand/info/proflibs > > 5 /stand/info/des > > 2 /stand/info/games > > 2 /stand/info/manpages > > 3 /stand/info/bin > > 2 /stand/info/dict > > 2 /stand/info/info > > 18 /stand/info/src > > 37 /stand/info > > 43884 /stand > > > > This isn't a real problem, but I sure could use those extra 40 megs it has > > claimed. > > No, it's more like a meg or so.

Assuming that your system has a proper /stand, a "du /stand" will probably report a couple of megs (at least, under 2.2-snap-960801).

This isn't normal, to the right of "root" you'll see the link count. Since the link count is 1, you are using 802k for EACH of these binaries in /stand.

It's in TFM. :) -i number of byte per inode So the larger the number, the MORE bytes per inode. You want to tell it to create one inode for every 1k of disk space instead of every 2k of disk space (the default), because the average news article is less than 1k, so you run out. That way, you get tons of inodes at the expense of some drive space. Of course, if you have a separate partition for binaries (which either you do, or you're not carrying binaries) you can do the reverse: -i 4096 or something similar, because the average alt.binaries file is considerably larger than 4k.

I've seen this off and on in the message stream, but couldn't find a definitive answer, and it's driving me buggy! I have a FreeBSD box and two Win85 boxes. I want to use my FreeBSD Box as a "dialout" router to connect to an ISP and then route mail, etc from my Win95 boxes through the FreeBSD box. My ISP "hard codes" IP addresses in a subnet that is DIFFERENT from the one I'm using internally (I have a couple of addresses in the ampr.org domain that I'm using). With the help of the handbook, the FAQ and a few friends, I've gotten to the point where pppd can connect to my ISP, and I can ping "outside" addresses from my FreeBSD box. I've also set up my FreeBSD box as a "caching only" DNS, so it knows how to resolve addresses. I can also ping my Win95 boxes from my FreeBSD Box and vice-versa. BUT, when I try to ping an "outside" service, such as mit.edu from my Win95 box, I get "request timed out". It DOES resolve the address, and from the looks of the SD light on the modem (connected to the FreeBSD box), there are at least a few packets being sent to my ISP, but NOTHING comes back. I'm thinking that this has SOMETHING to do with adding a route between the ppp interface and the ethernet interface on my FreeBSD box, but I have NO ideas beyond that. Any and all help would be appreciated!

I have a serial cable coming from my upstairs service provider down into my office. I have just installed FreeBSD 2.1 off the Walnut Creek CD.

I tried some stabs in the dark and I know what I want but I just dont know what to do from here. I cant get any more info from the pppd man pages because they dont talk about direct connections, only dial up.

I'm short on space, so my thought was to link in the CD-ROM source tree (2.1.5) and then use sup or ctm to modify it and keep it current. This isn't just to free up 'some space', but to actually give me enough free HD room to do a make world. I created a test tree in the /usr partition and used lndir to symbolically link the whole CD-ROM source tree to the /usr/test.src directory. No matter what switches I tried to use with sup, and despite what it seems to say in man, sup always pulled in ALL files, regardless of whether they were newer, apparently confused by the links. I then tried ctm. I tried applying the 2 patch files (as root) included with the source tree on CD-ROM. I have no idea whether this *should* have patched anything, but I thought it might be useful to test. After warning me there was no '.ctm_status' file, it chewed through the baseline and exited with a code of 80. It did seem to modify some of files, because they were no longer linked to the CD-ROM. I then tried to run the next patch. It again first warned me there was no .ctm_status file, then started scanning, halting with an error on the first file. In all, its output was: cd /usr/test.src ctm -v /cdrom/CTM/src-2.1.0147.gz Warning .ctm_status not found. Working on FS: .ctm_status doesn't exist. FN: release/sysinstall/cdrom.c md5 mismatch. FN: release/sysinstall/cdrom.c edit fails. Exit(104) I tried copying the base patches (src-2.1.0146A.gz) to the source tree root and ran the first patch and got an exit(80) (and no .ctm_status file was created). The errored file, cdrom.c, is r/w (664 root bin, though everything was originally 644 root wheel) and not linked to the CD, as is most of the release/sysinstall directory. Why is a .ctm_status file never created and why does the edit fail (related to not having a .ctm_status file?).

Date: Tue, 03 Sep 1996 02:03:47 +0200 From: Torbjorn Granlund Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just two weeks ago, I swapped disks and got a new Ultra SCSI controller. The new disk is a 4.4GB Fujitsu 2954SAU, and the controller is an Adaptec 2940UW. At the same time, I upgraded from FreeBSD 2.1 to 2.1.5. During installation, the FreeBSD installtion program complained that the disk label (of the pristine SCSI disk) was bad, and gave me the option to procdeed or to modify it. I chose to modify it, giving what I though were the correct parameters. From the output of `disklabel sd0' one might conclude that the disklabel is wrong: quiet> disklabel -r sd0 # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: sd1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 1 tracks/cylinder: 1 sectors/cylinder: 1 cylinders: 1 sectors/unit: 8498506 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 131072 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 131071) b: 282624 131072 swap # (Cyl. 131072 - 413695) c: 8498506 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 8498505) e: 131072 413696 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 413696 - 544767) f: 6348800 544768 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 544768 - 6893567) g: 1604938 6893568 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 6893568 - 8498505) Note the wild cylinder numbers! Today, my 3.1 GB /usr file system started to act weird. When doing `ls -l' in a directory, I got "Bad file descriptor" for one of the directories. When running fsck, it said "/foo/bar/foobar unallocated, delete?". fsck complained like that about a large number of files. I also got a large number of unref files and files with incorrect counts. A curious facts is that all the problematic files had inode numbers around 253600 or 491900. Does this information give any hint on what might be wrong? Is the bogus disklabel the culprit? Isn't the geometry simply used for scheduling of disk accesses? The total number of sectors and thereby the disk size seems to be correct. I used to keep my partitions below 2GB, to avoid potential problems with integer overflow in the kernel. This time I decided to try with a larger file system. Could the file system size be the culprit? I am desperate to get my system going again. Now, I don't dare to modify any files, and that makes it somewhat hard to do useful work... (Fortunately, I have a fairly recent backup.)

Also, the use of mode depends very much of the value of oflag ie only when O_CREAT is part of the value of flags. My question is, if someone is to specify many of such functions with conditionally optional parameter, is there a better way of specifying the declaration accurately to reflect the conditional nature, and not doing in it the man page or comments ?

I have had some problems with sound cards. In my office I had a Mozart sound card connected to my HP Vectra 486/66 running FreeBSD 2.1.0 (some days ago) and now running FreeBSD 2.1.5. It did not worked. The kernel did not recognize it as a Sound Blaster. My card says that it can handle a Sony CDROM.

I supossed there was a problem in the card, so I took it to another computer running MSDOS and it worked perfectly. I made a MSDOS bootable disk and I configured the drivers of the sound card. I took it to my computer, installed the card again and made it boot. It worked and the sound card was clearly functional. Then I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del and made the computer start from FreeBSD.

I did not know. I shutted my computer down and turned it off. Again, I boot under FreeBSD and the sound card and my CDROM were missing again! argh! But I did not give up. I started again my computer with my MSDOS diskette and pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del and made my computer start under FreeBSD. My sound card and my CD-ROM appeared again. I started to cry. Obviously, MSDOS has made some initilization to my sound card that was lost when I turned it off. This possible initialization was not missing when I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del. Somehow there was a misterious initialization process in the MS-DOS drivers that FreeBSD had not made. I think Mozart people can show the FreeBSD people how to initialize their famous sound card... I will be very happy if they do. But as I stated before, I won't give up! If Mozart people do not tell FreeBSD team who to initialize this card I will hack their drivers and I will find how to do it! There is another possibility: perhaps my kernel is not well configurated. I doubt it. My card works fine under FreeBSD when it is previously initialized by MS-DOS drivers and rebooted under FreeBSD. But there is another fact... In home I have another computer and I bought a cheap sound card called "Bravo Sound". It claims to be a Sound Blaster clone and it can handle my Sony CDROM. It was courious to see the same phenomena with it. I have a little work to do this days, but the next weekend I promise to hack the MS-DOS drivers. I'll keep in touch. /\ /\ _ / \/ \ \___/_\ __ ( O O _) / / / \ /\ / ___ / / ___ | |\ / / | / / / |_|_ O __/____/\__/\___|/___/\__/ \/ ("Lalo" is a Mexican-Spanish short name for Eduardo) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 3 01:21:07 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA13241 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 01:21:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wet.kiss.uni-lj.si (wet.kiss.uni-lj.si [193.2.98.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA13236 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 01:21:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kiss.uni-lj.si.kiss.uni-lj.si (41.vppp.kiss.uni-lj.si [193.2.98.73]) by wet.kiss.uni-lj.si (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA16959 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 10:20:59 +0200 Message-ID: <322C3EC6.6226@kiss.uni-lj.si> Date: Tue, 03 Sep 1996 16:20:54 +0200 From: Gorazd Sajn Reply-To: dunja.sajn@kiss.uni-lj.si Organization: GoGi's Home X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5aGold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Boot manager Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello!

The /usr filesystem now reports 5.6 % fragmentation. Is this significant? How does one go about (to use the DOS terminology) compressing this filesystem? The above fragmentation figure is from fsck. Having had the filesystem swap over to space optimization, would it have swapped back to time optimization when I removed the large tar files after untarring them? If not, is the change capable of being reversed, and if so how? What are the performance penalties associated with space optimization percentage-wise? The /usr filesystem is about 196 meg with about 125 megs used after transferring from my first PC. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA.

If BIOS LBA isn't an option for you, make sure both your DOS and FreeBSD boot partitions lie below cylinder 1024.

Sounds familiar :) Try lptcontrol -p. Either that, or remove the other conflicting device on IRQ 7, if one exists (probably a sound card or a second parallel port).

Date: Tue, 03 Sep 1996 09:33:50 -0400 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Couple of quick questions that I figured I'd batch to save some bandwidth. Firstly, I have been tinkering around with the concept of boot floppies. I'm almost 100% happy with what I have, with one exception. When I run a "full version" from a hard disk, I can create a MFS disk using mount_mfs -s /dev/wd0s1b /mnt (as the documentation says it should work). However, the problem comes wherein the boot floppy that I'm working on has no swap. Doing something like mount_mfs -s /dev/fd0b /mnt doesn't work, usually claiming that /dev/fd0b either doesn't exist (if I give it a different minor number than fd0a), or that its already in use (if it has the same minor number as fd0a). If I pull up the disklabel,the three partitions (a,b,c - which all take up the whole disk) are considered "unused". So, the question is, since I have a machine with 8-16MB of RAM that will never use it all (since I'm booting off a floppy and running one small application), how could I go about creating an MFS filesystem of n megabytes that I could use to store some temporary files without filling up the floppy? Also, I've seen some recent chatter about a Mozart sound card that has to go through some special initialization (which appears (according to Jordan) to be undocumented). I own a Reveal SC400 sound card that also appears to have to run an initialization program to get up and going. Is this card supported (does anyone know?), or should I go about figuring out what it is so I can do it myself? Thanks, as always. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 3 06:52:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA29812 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 06:52:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dira.bris.ac.uk (dira.bris.ac.uk [137.222.10.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA29796 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 06:52:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kukini.cs.bris.ac.uk by dira.bris.ac.uk with SMTP (PP); Tue, 3 Sep 1996 14:49:45 +0100 Received: from kiha by kukini.compsci.bristol.ac.uk id aa12339; 3 Sep 96 13:46 GMT To: freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: symlinks misfeature?

This is all very well until a user creates a symlink in /tmp and then finds out they can't remove it as the symlink is 'owned' by root (the owner of the directory), and /tmp has the sticky bit set. Is there any solution to this problem? I realise (being documented) it isn't really a bug, but surely this behaviour is not desirable? If there is a workaround for it I would knowing appreciate it!

But it did not work with the Bravo Sound card any way.

ELM+Metamail works Ok. You just need to set up a translation in your .mailcap for text/html. I have mine set up such that it kicks off Lynx to show the HTML, from which I can then continue to surf links off that page. Could kick off Netscape, but I'm not always sitting at an X display. The only catch is that you have to put in a lock in to make sure that your browser doesn't spawn itself ad infinitum processing the text/html attachments. This can happen because both metamail and browsers reference mailcap files to determine what to do for a particular content type, in particular text/html. Without this lock, Metamail kicks off the text/html content type handler, Lynx. Then Lynx kicks off itself to handle text/html, then Lynx ... An alternate solution that's simpler is to use different mailcap files for your browser and for Metamail (e.g. via $MAILCAPS [see man metamail]). I didn't do that because I didn't want to have to maintain more than one mailcap file. I've attached what I did below. It isn't pretty but it works well enough for me. Hope it helps. |Where exactly is written down how these mails have to look like? RFC 1521. ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1521.txt |What is an easy methods to decode a Mime appendix at shell level |once the mail was saved into a file? Well, Netscape MIME attachments are HTML (text/html content type). So just load them into your favorite browser via Open Location file:/.../myfile.html or start Netscape with that file on the command line. |It happened to me that someone sent me a forwarded mail with |a mime attachment and neither of the aforementioned readers |could display/decode the attachment properly (didn't test M$ explorer). |Only netscape was capable to show the attachment after I snipped the |forward out of the mail. Yeh, I've been there before. Most alleged MIME-capable UNIX mail readers don't special-handle MIME attachments when forwarding like they should, detaching and reattaching to the forwarded message in MIME format. They just insert chars before each line of the forwarded message. Hacking is your best bet here (love that rectangular kill feature in Emacs :-).

I personally have used both the 8mm and the 4mm. I feel that the 4mm is a good solution as it is now the one that most are using. Media is moderately priced and it seems very stable. 8mm works great and I have used it for many years with out any problem. The media is cheaper than 4mm.. but you cannot store as much on a single tape. DAT is bleeding edge.. and although seems to be stable..

Actually, I've had very few 8mm problems (apart from needing frequent cleaning, which all drives (should) need). Never hit a DAT hard, so I can't comment on that. Looking at exabytes web page (www.exabyte.com) it seems like there is a new drive on the market (two actually). 8505XL (7Gb uncompressed, 14Gb compressed). Just got a EXB10h for network backups here with a 8505XL in it, so I'll soon find out about that :) Then there is the Mammoth. 20Gb uncompressed, 40Gb compressed. > > > DAT is bleeding edge.. and although seems to be stable..

I opted to go the DLT route recently. I was a bit nervous about all those moving parts in DAT drives. Also, capacity was an issue (and an autoloader would just mean even MORE moving parts!) The "norm" for DLT is now 10, 15 or 20G per cartridge (uncompressed) with the advertised compression rate bringing these to 20, 30 and 40GB. A cartridge is around $40. They're a bit larger than a stack of seven 3.5" floppies (and considerably heavier -- worth noting since dropping one the wrong way will toast it!). Backup rates are from 1 to 3 MB/sec (uncompressed) and double that if compression is "effective". But, getting a drive to spool requires lots of horsepower... :> They are very quiet. Need a full 5-1/4" bay for the drive. Of course, the "downside" is the cost -- figure $3500+ US. > > I had considered getting one of the 1GB "Jaz" drives but the media is > > about $125/slice and for that I can buy a new hard drive! :-( > > i have looked at this too.. but it believe that it is untested for > reliability and retention. Far too expensive in terms of $/MB. I could easily purchase 3 -- maybe 4 DLT tapes for that amount of money (and end up with 45 - 90G of storage space!) > For your software DEFINATELY look at amanda.

Amanda is a win if the transport is shared on a network.

I did a minimal install from a DOS partition. The install claimed to have completed successfully. Then, when I boot the machine, I get a rather lengthy list of devices, IRQ's, etc., and finally the following message appears: panic: cannot mount root Then, I get a message to the effect that the machine will try to boot again in 15 seconds. One potential source of the problem: I have a 486 DX 33 machine, and I recently upgraded the hard drive from an IDE Conner CP30254 250-meg hard drive to an *E*IDE Maxtor 71626AP 1.7-gig drive. For the larger drive I am using a `SIIG IDE Enhancer' card. To use the card, I go into the standard BIOS setup, and tell the machine that there is no hard drive installed. When I boot the machine up, the SIIG IDE Enhancer card momentarily takes over, and says something to the effect of `probing IDE bus for hard drives.' It then finds the Maxtor drive, and accurately reports the geometry of that disk. With the above SETUP configuration and IDE Enhancer card, DOS comes up fine and finds the 1.7-gig hard drive. Also, the FreeBSD boot floppy for installation comes up fine. Without the card, I cannot get the computer to find the hard disk (I use the auto-configure disk option under the bios SETUP mode, and the machine cannot find the disk.) With the IDE Enhancer card, I was able to set up disk slices, the partitions, etc. with no problems. Moreover, during the installation process I can switch to an alternate screen by hitting -F4, and get to a unix shell. From there I can look around, and find that the hard drive appears to have had all the required and necessary files correctly installed. (During installation, the hard drive is mounted as /mnt) One possible way to solve my problem would be to use different hardware, i.e., to go with a card for EIDE capability other than the SIIG enhancer card. Or, I might be able to explicitly specify to the BIOS SETUP mode the characteristics of the Maxtor EIDE disk and just use the first 500 or so megs of the drive as a dos partition. Is there some canonical hardware solution that is known by the FreeBSD community to work when upgrading an old 486 system to support large EIDE disk drives? Alternatively, is there some kernel configuration trick or other installation technique that will work with my current configuration? (This would of course be the preferred option.) Thanks for any help!

First of all, when I choose COM2 the PPP program always defaults to COM1. OK, when I change it to /dev/cuaa1 and give the term command logging into my Unix account goes as usual. Then I start SLiRP and the 'ppp' prompt appears then changes to 'PPP'. The second problem is that the sysinstall can't resolve the name of the ftp server I picked. I have tried different servers and numerous SLiRP options including its internal addresses, disabling/enabling pap,chap,pred1 and dns etc. At this point I decided to be clever and picked 'other server' from the list. Well, the address I gave to sysinstall evaporated and it tried to log in 4.33.3 which is the end of the ip address I gave to be the gateway! I have searched FAQ and handbook but can't figure this out. Could someone please help me. I really need FreeBSD up and running again.

It also has settings for pitch, font, and indentation. The printer does have a built in escape sequence command to set the the correct CR/LF action internally, but it was easier to do it with a filter. Let me know if you want the HP command and I'll go see if I can dig it out. For the filter, I have the following description in /etc/printcap: lp|laser|LaserJet:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :pl=66:pw=80:sh:of=/usr/local/bin/laser: The compiled filter program is installed as `/usr/local/bin/laser'. Note the non-default pl setting, which was changed from 60 lines per page to 66 lines per page using the HP Dos software on a 5P. I'm not sure if this applies to the 5L. I noticed you use `cat /etc/printcap > /dev/lp0'. I think you will need to use the lp daemon to take advantage of the filter, i.e. `lp /etc/printcap'. Hope you find this useful. Let me kow if you have any trouble with compilation.

If anyone knows of any good places to look for information on sh or csh scripts in FreeBSD I would greatly appreciate it. What I am trying to do is make a small script that will scan all the mail files in /var/mail for the keywords listed in a file, then if it finds any of those keywords, to move the mail file that it was in to a seperate directory (like /tmp/review), and copy a stock letter in it's place. It would need to run indefinatly in a constant loop. So far I have gotten far enough to search the mail files for the keywords using grep, however I don't know how to use IF correctly to see if grep actually found anything. If have checked all the manpages for info on csh and sh, but they where uninformative to say the least. P.S. This is for my high school.

My guesses are as follows: 1) The kernel can't figure out just where the root directory is. This may be caused by the enhancer, as it's data area does not conincide with the BIOSs and thus FreeBSD can't identify any disks. 2) The wdc0 probe isn't finding any disks, period. Watch the boot messages for wd* devices and see if your disk & controller is found and identified. I have the feeling the SIIG card works similarly to the Promise series, minus the incompatibility problems. The only way to get a Promise to work is to disable the BIOS on that card. > Is there some canonical hardware solution that is known by the FreeBSD > community to work when upgrading an old 486 system to support large EIDE disk > drives? The best way appears to be the boot sector 'overlay' which is invisible to the BIOS and the system in general. The only caveat is that you cannot put anything in the boot sector (such as a boot manager). > Alternatively, is there some kernel configuration trick or other installation > technique that will work with my current configuration? (This would of course > be the preferred option.) Try typing this at the Boot: prompt: wd(0,a)/kernel If the disk in question is the second IDE disk, type wd(1,a)/kernel instead. I haven't seen this problem with IDE; usually it pops up on systems with both IDE and SCSI disks.

You'll need to add your new slice to the disklabel so you have a way of referencing it. (ie make it wd0f or whatever is available) I'm not sure how to do this (disklabel -e?).

SLiRP is another piece of software that does the same thing but is much more stable. This is all assuming you can compile and run these on the remote host (ie, it's a FreeBSD box too) or you can figure out how to compile them.

Anyhow, assuming that Overlay will do no harm (a very optimistic assumption) you'll have to install the boot manager on the first disk. To do that, either do it manually (from DOS, using bootinst in the CD's tools directory) or by telling the installation program that you want FreeBSD to use both disks, and not change the partition table on the first one. You will be asked for the boot sector on each disk separately. Specify the boot manager for the first disk, and standard boot for the second. Again, I'm afraid you'll have trouble with that Overlay of yours, so I can't say that what I recommended wouldn't mess up your disk completly. Take care (and backup before you start). > > Thanks for the help, > Ken McNicholas > mcnichok@ug.cs.sunysb.edu > From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 3 23:37:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA26057 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 23:37:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA26038 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 1996 23:37:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA21265; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 09:36:03 +0200 Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 09:36:03 +0200 (IST) From: Nadav Eiron To: Matthew Longmore cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: PROBLEMS INSTALLING FREEBSD In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 4 Sep 1996, Matthew Longmore wrote: > Dear Sir, > > I have recently purchased FREEBSD and am experiencing problems with the > installation.

Two more things: I've used DLT's since the day they were born and they are RELIABLE like nothing else is. I guess I've used thousands of cartridges, including inside a truck in the middle of the desert at 40 deg. C with sand blowing through the drive while it's working. The only time they lost data for me is when I dropped a cartridge from the second floor window (don't try this at home :-). Those beasts are amazing. The second thing I like about them is speed. If you actually want to backup 40GB, you need something that's faster than a DAT drive if you want the backup to finish in time (just make sure you have the disks and controllers to match that speed). Quantum (who licensed the technology from DEC) just announced a new model that holds 35GB uncompressed (70GB compressed) on the same cartridges, and works at 10MB/sec compressed (it's a fast wide SCSI device). Look at http://www.quantum.com/products/menus/tape.html. The down side is that it costs :-(, so now I use a DAT drive. > > Gary > -- > Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member > FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

You are quite correct. The netmask of 255.255.255.0 on the 'company' router will mean that that router will expect to be able to talk 'directly' with all ip addresses in X.Y.109.0-255. The solution is for your company to alter the routers config to a 255.255.255.192 netmask and the put a static route in the company router like 'route add X.Y.109.0 255.255.255.0 X.Y.109.62' This effectively says that for the address space that is not X.Y.109.0-63 direct all packets at X.Y.109.62 as it 'knows' how to handle the rest. Note that it must be the static X.Y.109.0 route that must be inserted into the company's dynamic routing protocol by the company router. The connected route of X.Y.109.0 netmask 255.255.255.192. insertion will confuse early distance/vector protocols like RIP, and Cisco's IGRP. > > > X.Y.109.128-255 netmask 0xffffff80 > +---------------- Network A > | > | X.Y.109.64-127 netmask 0xffffffc0 > | +------------ Network B > | | > .109.129 | | .109.65 > +---------------+ > | FreeBSD 2.1.5 | > | router | > +---------------+ > | .109.62 > | > | X.Y.109.0-63 netmask 0xffffffc0 > | Network C > | > | .109.1 (netmask 0xffffff00) > +----------------+ > | Company router | > | | > +----------------+ > | > |________ To company network and internet > > >Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Greg Healy ghealy@epoch.com.au Bimberi Systems Network Consultancy Mobile +61 419 401 747 FAX +61 6 291 4818 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 4 02:46:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id CAA03864 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 02:46:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from saba.kuentos.guam.net (root@saba.kuentos.guam.net [198.81.233.14]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA03858 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 02:46:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from viper+ppp by saba.kuentos.guam.net with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #9) id m0uyEX2-002Es7C; Wed, 4 Sep 96 19:46 GST Message-ID: <322D5023.554F@kuentos.guam.net> Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 19:47:15 +1000 From: Steve Zeck X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Hear me O BSDWizards!

For lo, I have been in possession of an EIDE Acer 8x CD-ROM (so claims the manual! lo, verily!). But after I re-compiled the kernel with thy ATAPI options and wcd0/1 controller support enabled, when I go forth to mount the CD device in /dev, the computer sayeth unto me: "Device not configured". Many times has it spoken thus to me, and truly frustrated have I been becoming. :( Verily, have I followed all directions put forth in the FAQ and the handbook, thusly have I put forth my plea on freebsd.misc, and have I searched thy mail archives. So, in my hour of need, I turn to thee with great trepidation, for it seemeth to me that this is a Stupid Question that I should know, or at least one that is oft asked. If thy wizards find it thus fitting to enlighten me with the divine truth of patching or re-configuring my kernel to support my CD, I your humble servant would be pleased to do it. Or lo, if thou shouldst need guinea pigs to test something new on, cheerily do I volunteer my time and hardward for the task. For thine is the OS, the power and glory, ever and ever, amen. Steve PS.

Did you install FreeBSD from the CD? If so, then it should be trivial to configure your CD. If this is true, the problem is with your kernel configuration. The lines that should be in it are: options ATAPI device wcd0 (don't confuse that with "controller wdc0/1" which are the EIDE controllers). Does your kernel pick up the CD? (look at the boot up messages - use dmesg). Try remaking the device node in /dev (i.e. do: cd /dev rm wcd* sh MAKEDEV wcd0 ) If you didn't install from the CD, the problem might be with the hardware configuration. Try putting the CDROM in the slave position on the first (primary) controller, with your HD as the master. DON'T connect it to your sound card. I have no experience with the Acer CD, so I can't gurantee anything, but I have Creative EIDE CDROMs working.

Many thanks for the info! Just FYI, I'll tell you how I have got the work done: 1) Of, course, with `fdisk(8)', I modified the slice table, getting rid of the Linux one and creating a new -identical- slice for FreeBSD. BTW, I put it in slot #3, instead of #1. So it now reads: The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 1620864, size 491904 (240 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 402/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 523/ sector 63/ head 63 2) After rebooting, the hard task: creating a new disklabel. Using `disklabel -e' on a new slice is of no use, since this option expects that any label exists. After browsing the man page many times and many other failed tries, I concluded that my best bet was with `disklabel -R -r disk protofile'. So I took a copy from the wd0s3 label -the original BSD slice-, and modified it to fit the parameters of the new slice. So: # disklabel.s4 : protofile for /dev/rwd0s4c: type: ESDI disk: wd0s4 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 4032 cylinders: 122 sectors/unit: 491904 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 491904 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 122) f: 491904 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 122*) BTW I had to MAKEDEV the wd0s4? special files. And then: disklabel -R -r /dev/rwd0s4c disklabel.s4 3) New reboot and all went fine: newfs the new rwd0s4f partition, mount, etc. >> Er, BTW, FreeBSD version is 2.2-960326SNAP. > You're a bit behind the times.

If you want IP addresses you can connect to the Internet with, then there are no "free" ones. You'll have to get officially registered addresses from your ISP or from the InterNIC. If you want addresses to use on a private network that does not connect to the internet, there are addresses set forth in RFC1597 for that purpose. Those are: The 256 class C addresses 192.168.0.x - 192.168.255.x The 16 class B addresses 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x The class A address 10.x.x.x (you can retrieve the document from http://www.internic.net/rfc/rfc1597.txt). Those addresses are not used on the Internet, so if you use them on an internal network connected through a firewall that does address translation you'll have no real problems.

Anyway, when grep exits it puts out a return code, 0 if it found something, 1 if it didn't. That return code is saved in $? So the script would look something like this: #!/bin/sh for file in /var/mail/* do grep $file >/dev/null if [ $? == 0 ]; then mv $file /tmp/review mv caughtyou $file fi done The rest is left as an exercise. :-) -- Paul T.

Yeah, I was thinking that I would have to add three static routes to the company router with a netmask of 255.255.255.192. The three static routes would be to X.Y.109.64/128/192. I didn't know that I could do it with one route as you've shown above :).

Well, it depends on if you use those machines or not ;-) You've got two pairs of machines using IP addresses 194.159.125.100 and 194.159.125.110. You see this happen a lot on Windows machines and Macs in which users can modify the IP addresses. Either that or poor administration. We've got a couple of FreeBSD PCs sitting in a building full of PCs and Macs in the same subnet. We see this happen at least once a month and logged by our FreeBSD PCs. Usually we can determine which machines are at fault by using tcpdump on the affected ethernet MAC addresses and by browsing shared DIRs (and similar things on a Mac). When tcpdump starts spewing a lot of info, then you've browsed the right machine. With this method, you either need a Windows and/or Mac next to your FreeBSD box, or someone else to help you (one to look at tcpdump output and another to browse the Windows/Mac systems. I don't know any other way of doing it (unless the adminstrators have a list of all the machines and their MAC addresses). Maybe there's a better way?

Hello! 1) If you would like to search for strings, it would be better to use fgrep, not grep. 2) The grep family returns with a 0 status if it's found anything, and non-0 if there are some errors, or not-found. 3) there are some comments in this list after a # Here is a little script in sh. --- #!/bin/sh while true ; do # infinite loop for i in /var/mail/* ; do # go throug the mail files if fgrep -f /tmp/stringlist $i >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then # if we found anything cat $i >> /tmp/review/`expr $i : '.*/\(.*\)'` # cp $i /tmp/review cp /dev/null $i ; mail `expr $i : '.*/\(.*\)'` < /tmp/stockletter # cp /tmp/stockletter $i fi done sleep 600 done --- a) put your stringlist somewhere else, and modify the name in the list (put one string per line, in that file) b) -"- stockletter -"- c) beware not to put any string from the stringlist file into the letter, because it will give you an infinite ``found'' and new mail. d) the line beginning with cat append the mails to the ``review''-file, if you need to overwrite the file in ``review'' put a # in the beg. of the line, and delete the # from the next line (cp) e) the ``mail'' line send mail him/her, if would like put a file uncomment this line, and comment the next ``cp'' line f) I think, the e/f changes are very wrong method. g) If you mail, beware any strings, generated by mailers. h) I don't know, why do you need to run in infinitely, it would be better to run it from crontab at about 5 minutes or once a day, etc. In that case, remove the ``while true'' line, the ``sleep'' line and the last ``done'' line, too. i) if you have bash/pdksh/ksh installed on your computer, change the reference in the first line to the path to that shell, and change the ``expr'' strings. Instead of: `expr $i : '.*/\(.*\)'` put ${i##*/} (It will be quicker, and more unreadable.) j) And the last line: maybe you will have some problems with mails, arriving when your script is running. Maybe you have to think about some file locking mechanism. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

A similar patch could probably be made to netstat (for the -r output). for example, my machine arps as dan.emsphone.com (199.67.51.101) at E_dan permanent since in /etc/ethers, I have 00:00:c0:ed:34:c7 E_dan -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com --- /usr/src/usr.sbin/arp/arp.c Thu Feb 8 15:05:52 1996 +++ /usr/tmp/arp.c Mon Jul 29 18:07:03 1996 @@ -441,10 +441,18 @@ } } +/* + * Print an ethernet address in symbolic form, or numeric if there is no name + */ void ether_print(u_char *cp) { + char name[100]; + + if (ether_ntohost(name, cp)) printf("%x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x", cp[0], cp[1], cp[2], cp[3], cp[4], cp[5]); + else + printf("%s", name); } int From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 4 08:40:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA17637 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 08:40:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.nation-net.com (www.nation-net.com [194.159.125.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA17589 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 08:39:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mag.nation-net.com (194.159.125.14) by www.nation-net.com with SMTP (Apple Internet Mail Server 1.0); Wed, 4 Sep 1996 16:41:23 +0000 Message-ID: <322DA235.2336@nation-net.com> Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 16:37:25 +0100 From: Paul Walsh X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Switching off address lookups Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is there a way of switching off address lookups to cut down on traffic, epecially in httpd and any other daemons/services?

Did it? Sorry about that. I've pulled down the new bsd.port.mk and the fetch source and it looks like putting FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS ?= -p in /etc/make.conf will work with that setup. Beware: fetch(1) says that setting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in the environment will force passive mode, but I don't see fetch.c actually carrying through with that promise.

It's me again. Finally, FreeBSD 2.1.5 reconized Mozart sound card. I'm trying to make my "Bravo Sound" card work too. I've noticed it is based on an OPTi chip. According to /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound.doc (Jordan said it was "kind of out of date") I can use the option: options OPTI_MAD16_PORT in order to give the kernel support for OPTI MAD16 Chip... but the command "config" issues an error message telling me that there is a syntax error in my kernel configuration, in the line I defined this option. I tried "OPTI_PORT" instead of "OPTI_MAD16_PORT", and it seemed config did not complain about it. Nevertheless, the programs in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound do not use the symbol OPTI_PORT, they use "OPTI_MAD16_PORT" I also noticed that "config" program build a "Makefile" and macros for programs are defined in line 2, under "IDENT" make variable; I included "-DOPTI_MAD16_PORT" in that line. I hope my configuration works, but I think there is a bug in "config". Nos vemos!

I have a Gateway 2000 (sympathy accepted) P5-90 that I'm trying to turn into a FreeBSD-based gateway. Installation of the system (2.1.5) went uneventfully, and everything seems to work just fine -- except the network interface. The card is a 3Com Etherlink III and I am using the ep0 interface. When the system comes up, the network interface works [i.e., I can ping things, get DNS queries resolved, etc.] but as soon as anyone tries to do anything "real", such as telnet into the machine, the network interface locks up and NOTHING goes through. We've seen a running ping just stop receiving packets when someone else tries to log in via telnet. Varying the interface with ifconfig brings it back. Is there a way around this short of replacing the card? Any help is much appreciated. Robert Brazile Momentum Inc.

And I hope there are some people here who is able to give me some help. Here is my problem: My ISP uses PPP and assigns IP address to each user dynamically. So I used user PPP and made a very few changes to PPP configuration file example located in /etc/ppp, then I renamed it into it's proper name. The only changes I made looks like this: delete all add 0 0 HISADDR in file ppp.linkup. I didn't make any changes to the other file located in the same directory because I think that they have nothing to do with. I just renamed ppp.conf.iij file into ppp.conf file. I read the first line in that file which explain some stuffs about making a connection to an ISP which use PPP and assign IP address dynamically and I thought it could get me out of this problem. As addition, I also made a few changes to /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig. It looks loke this: /etc/hosts ----> adding line "10.0.0.1 myhost.local.pc myhost" /etc/sysconfig ---> -set hostname to "myhost.local.pc" -adding ethernet device and tunnel device (ed1 & tun0) and also the neccessary changes to ifconfig_${device} line -set ed1 as "myhost.local.pc" and set tun0 IP address to 0.0.0.0 -set routed flag with "-s" And I also created file /etc/resolv.conf into which I put this line: "nameserver 202.159.65.166" Then I rebooted the machine and invoke PPP. After made some neccessary configuration setting I tried to make a PPP connection by dialing my ISP using command "term". I could connect to my ISP and logging in, but after I invoked PPP in the remote machine into which I logged in, PPP program in my computer and PPP program in remote machine refused to negotiate and I could not get any IP address from my ISP. (invoking PPP in my ISP's remote machine after logging in is the procedure I should do to start PPP program in remote machine). I also would like to tell you that I currently do not know the IP address of my ISP remote machine or gateway and my ISP's network mask. The only address I know is my ISP's DNS. That's all... And thank's anyway for providing time to read this message. I would be very grateful for the help. -Eka Kelana- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 4 14:10:58 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA02832 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 14:10:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from axis.axisnet.net (ali@axis.axisnet.net [206.54.226.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA02766 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 14:09:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (ali@localhost) by axis.axisnet.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA31157; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 15:56:58 -0500 Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 15:56:57 -0500 (CDT) From: Ali Lomonaco To: Doug White cc: Teemu Kuusijarvi , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FTP installation problems In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I had that prob with ftp install also From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 4 14:12:33 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA02909 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 14:12:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ime.net (ime.net [204.97.248.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA02903 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 14:12:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kimiko.tcguy.net (buxton-13.ime.net [206.231.148.142]) by ime.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id PAA01854; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 15:53:00 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <322DDE3A.216C@ime.net> Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 15:53:30 -0400 From: Gary Chrysler Reply-To: tcg@ime.net Organization: The Computer Guy X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Paul T.

(I chose the `Upgrade' option from the install menu, medium CD.) I hope, at least one of you can comment on it or suggest some work-around to one or another point. >>> INSTALL 1) Already during the install [2] I received some messages about `junk' and `skipping' (I switched to vty2 a bit late). After editing my /etc-files (yes, I had saved my old sysconfig somewhere else) in the shell on vty2, I typed `reboot' and got (after sync) a panic on `dangling vnode'. In the following reboot I noticed several unreferenced inodes on /usr [3]. However, I got no lost+found and the files are gone. How can I convince fsck on reboot to create lost+found and save the unreferenced files (esp. when no one is at the console) rather than discarding them ? 1a) After trying to use cc1plus I noticed that /usr/libexec still contained my 2.1.0 files and /usr/sbin/* and /usr/mdec/* had the correct dates but did not compare with /cdrom/dists/bin/bin.?? (Notice that cc1plus ... /usr/sbin are in bin.bx ... bin.cb (rf. 1 ?)) (Yes, after install I could read bin.?? without errors several times) >>> X11 2) Several times it happened (also on 2.1.0 and on different machines) that after some uptime or by killing the Xserver from the text console, one cannot switch back from X (xdm running and restarting X) to a text terminal (sth. like `VTactivate failed'). Is there a way out without booting the system ? >>> SCSI 3) Is anybody working on completing the SCSI-CDROM driver as descibed in cd(4) (i.e. ioctls CDIOCCAPABILITY or CDIOCCLOSE) ? 4) Is there some command around to _retention_ QIC tapes (on SCSI streamers) (AKA `mt retension') or to reset the driver (to read the tape again after "unloading" (mt rewoffl) without the need to eject and insert the tape) ? (In both cases SCSI-command LOAD/UNLOAD is invloved.) (I have the OEM manual for 5525ES and 51000ES (SCSI1&2) at hand.) >>> DNS 5) Recently, I noticed that netscape (BSDI-3.0, 3.0b4, 3.0b5), but also ftp and traceroute, fail on resolving hostnames. They return very quickly with 'host has no DNS entry'. The second try is usually successful. Named runs on a 2.1.0 machine and the problems occur on 2.0, 2.1.0 (also the server itself) and 2.1.5 machines. This is true for first-time and very-remote queries as for local ones (without entries in /etc/hosts). Any idea, where to look at ? >>> MISC. 6) Just want to mention that vi does not respect `noautoindent', esp. on `replace' (compared to the various vis on different systems that I have access to). 7) Is there a way to have lpq show the status of _all_ avail. printers at once (like lpstat) ? 8) As a final question, where should read(2) on /dev/rcd0c continue after 0x8028 = lseek( fd, 0x8028, SEEK_SET) ? (left as an exercise :-) I relied on the return value (0x8028), but it actually starts at 0x8000 ! But, why ? (Wouldn't life be much easier, if one could read arbitrary buffer sizes and seek arbitrary offsets ?) 9) As a more final question, has anyone a solution to dynamically add/remove users on an FreeBSD server. Accounts are merely needed for authentication and print accounting and are administered in the computer center, except for local, static ones.

This controller will work as three independent controllers, but only after the aic7xxx driver adds detection support for them. I've got patches to my -current system to do this - I was thinking about getting a 3985W but found a bettter use for my money. The author of the aic7xxx driver, doesn't monitor -questions but I know that adding 3985 support is one of the things on his TODO list. RAID support will not be available until someone can get the documents for the 7810 controller from Adaptec. I tried a couple of weeks ago, but they just sent me some stupid sales brochures :( Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org P.S. There is software RAID for FreeBSD with CCD - concatenated disk driver. You could always go that route, with or without a 3985.

And I hope there are some people here who is able to give me some help. Here is my problem: My ISP uses PPP and assigns IP address to each user dynamically. So I used user PPP and made a very few changes to PPP configuration file example located in /etc/ppp, then I renamed it into it's proper name. The only changes I made looks like this: delete all add 0 0 HISADDR in file ppp.linkup. I didn't make any changes to the other file located in the same directory because I think that they have nothing to do with. I just renamed ppp.conf.iij file into ppp.conf file. I read the first line in that file which explain some stuffs about making a connection to an ISP which use PPP and assign IP address dynamically and I thought it could get me out of this problem. As addition, I also made a few changes to /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig. It looks loke this: /etc/hosts ----> adding line "10.0.0.1 myhost.local.pc myhost" /etc/sysconfig ---> -set hostname to "myhost.local.pc" -adding ethernet device and tunnel device (ed1 & tun0) and also the neccessary changes to ifconfig_${device} line -set ed1 as "myhost.local.pc" and set tun0 IP address to 0.0.0.0 -set routed flag with "-s" And I also created file /etc/resolv.conf into which I put this line: "nameserver 202.159.65.166" Then I rebooted the machine and invoke PPP. After made some neccessary configuration setting I tried to make a PPP connection by dialing my ISP using command "term". I could connect to my ISP and logging in, but after I invoked PPP in the remote machine into which I logged in, PPP program in my computer and PPP program in remote machine refused to negotiate and I could not get any IP address from my ISP. (invoking PPP in my ISP's remote machine after logging in is the procedure I should do to start PPP program in remote machine). I also would like to tell you that I currently do not know the IP address of my ISP remote machine or gateway and my ISP's network mask. The only address I know is my ISP's DNS. That's all...

Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk You may find the Electric Fence set of tools applicable to your problem. It basically uses mmap() to replace malloc, et. al. with versions that map out adjacent (either previous or following) pages in memory. This will detect overruns. Also, each memory allocation is rounded up to a page boundary, so that when memory is freed, the page/pages is/are marked unreadable. This catches reading of free'd memory. The drawback to this approach is every allocation (no matter how small) requires an entire page - so be prepared to start swapping a lot as your program consumes mega memory. I've included the man page below - I can send you the version I have running under FreeBSD, if you like... - Dave Rivers - efence(3) efence(3) NAME efence - Electric Fence Malloc Debugger SYNOPSIS #include void * malloc (size_t size); void free (void *ptr); void * realloc (void *ptr, size_t size); void * calloc (size_t nelem, size_t elsize); void * memalign (size_t alignment, size_t size); void * valloc (size_t size); extern int EF_ALIGNMENT; extern int EF_PROTECT_BELOW; extern int EF_PROTECT_FREE; DESCRIPTION Electric Fence helps you detect two common programming bugs: software that overruns the boundaries of a malloc() memory allocation, and software that touches a memory allocation that has been released by free(). Unlike other malloc() debuggers, Electric Fence will detect read accesses as well as writes, and it will pinpoint the exact instruction that causes an error. It has been in use at Pixar since 1987, and at many other sites for years. Electric Fence uses the virtual memory hardware of your computer to place an inaccessible memory page immediately after (or before, at the user's option) each memory allo- cation. When software reads or writes this inaccessible page, the hardware issues a segmentation fault, stopping the program at the offending instruction. It is then triv- ial to find the erroneous statement using your favorite debugger. In a similar manner, memory that has been released by free() is made inaccessible, and any code that touches it will get a segmentation fault. Simply linking your application with libefence.a will allow you to detect most, but not all, malloc buffer over- runs and accesses of free memory. If you want to be rea- sonably sure that you've found all bugs of this type, you'll have to read and understand the rest of this man page. USAGE Link your program with the library libefence.a . Make 27-April-1993 1 efence(3) efence(3) sure you are not linking with -lmalloc, -lmallocdebug, or with other malloc-debugger or malloc-enhancer libraries. You can only use one at a time. If your system adminis- trator has installed Electric Fence for public use, you'll be able to use the -lefence argument to the linker, other- wise you'll have to put the path-name for libefence.a in the linker's command line. Some systems will require spe- cial arguments to the linker to assure that you are using the Electric Fence malloc() and not the one from your C library. On AIX systems, you may have to use the flags -bnso -bnodelcsect -bI:/lib/syscalls.exp On Sun systems running SunOS 4.X, you'll probably have to use -Bstatic. Run your program using a debugger. It's easier to work this way than to create a core file and post-mortem debug it. Electric Fence can create huge core files, and some operating systems will thus take minutes simply to dump core! Some operating systems will not create usable core files from programs that are linked with Electric Fence. If your program has one of the errors detected by Electric Fence, it will get a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) at the offending instruction. Use the debugger to locate the erroneous statement, and repair it. GLOBAL AND ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Electric Fence has four configuration switches that can be enabled via the shell environment, or by setting the value of global integer variables using a debugger. These switches change what bugs Electric Fence will detect, so it's important that you know how to use them. EF_ALIGNMENT This is an integer that specifies the alignment for any memory allocations that will be returned by malloc(), calloc(), and realloc(). The value is specified in bytes, thus a value of 4 will cause memory to be aligned to 32-bit boundaries unless your system doesn't have a 8-bit characters. EF_ALIGNMENT is set to sizeof(int) by default, since that is generally the word-size of your CPU. If your program requires that allocations be aligned to 64-bit boundaries and you have a 32-bit int you'll have to set this value to 8. This is the case when compiling with the -mips2 flag on MIPS- based systems such as those from SGI. The memory allocation that is returned by Electric Fence mal- loc() is aligned using the value in EF_ALIGNMENT, and its size the multiple of that value that is greater than or equal to the requested size. For this reason, you will sometimes want to set EF_ALIGNMENT to 0 (no alignment), so that you can detect overruns of less than your CPU's word size. Be sure to read the section WORD-ALIGNMENT AND 27-April-1993 2 efence(3) efence(3) OVERRUN DETECTION in this manual page before you try this. To change this value, set EF_ALIGNMENT in the shell environment to an integer value, or assign to the global integer variable EF_ALIGNMENT using a debugger. EF_PROTECT_BELOW Electric Fence usually places an inaccessible page immediately after each memory allocation, so that software that runs past the end of the allocation will be detected. Setting EF_PROTECT_BELOW to 1 causes Electric Fence to place the inaccessible page before the allocation in the address space, so that under-runs will be detected instead of over- runs. When EF_PROTECT_BELOW is set, the EF_ALIGNMENT parameter is ignored. All allocations will be aligned to virtual-memory-page boundaries, and their size will be the exact size that was requested. To change this value, set EF_PROTECT_BELOW in the shell environment to an integer value, or assign to the global integer variable EF_PROTECT_BELOW using a debugger. EF_PROTECT_FREE Electric Fence usually returns free memory to a pool from which it may be re-allocated. If you sus- pect that a program may be touching free memory, set EF_PROTECT_FREE to 1. This will cause Electric Fence to never re-allocate memory once it has been freed, so that any access to free memory will be detected. Some programs will use tremendous amounts of memory when this parameter is set. To change this value, set EF_PROTECT_FREE in the shell envi- ronment to an integer value, or assign to the global integer variable EF_PROTECT_FREE using a debugger. EF_ALLOW_MALLOC_0 By default, Electric Fence traps calls to malloc() with a size of zero, because they are often the result of a software bug. If EF_ALLOW_MALLOC_0 is non-zero, the software will not trap calls to mal- loc() with a size of zero. To change this value, set EF_ALLOC_MALLOC_0 in the shell environment to an integer value, or assign to the global integer variable EF_ALLOC_MALLOC_0 using a debugger. WORD-ALIGNMENT AND OVERRUN DETECTION There is a conflict between the alignment restrictions that malloc() operates under and the debugging strategy used by Electric Fence. When detecting overruns, Electric Fence malloc() allocates two or more virtual memory pages for each allocation. The last page is made inaccessible in such a way that any read, write, or execute access will 27-April-1993 3 efence(3) efence(3) cause a segmentation fault. Then, Electric Fence malloc() will return an address such that the first byte after the end of the allocation is on the inaccessible page. Thus, any overrun of the allocation will cause a segmentation fault. It follows that the address returned by malloc() is the address of the inaccessible page minus the size of the memory allocation. Unfortunately, malloc() is required to return word-aligned allocations, since many CPUs can only access a word when its address is aligned. The conflict happens when software makes a memory allocation using a size that is not a multiple of the word size, and expects to do word accesses to that allocation. The location of the inaccessible page is fixed by hardware at a word- aligned address. If Electric Fence malloc() is to return an aligned address, it must increase the size of the allo- cation to a multiple of the word size. In addition, the functions memalign() and valloc() must honor explicit specifications on the alignment of the memory allocation, and this, as well can only be implemented by increasing the size of the allocation. Thus, there will be situa- tions in which the end of a memory allocation contains some padding space, and accesses of that padding space will not be detected, even if they are overruns. Electric Fence provides the variable EF_ALIGNMENT so that the user can control the default alignment used by mal- loc(), calloc(), and realloc(). To debug overruns as small as a single byte, you can set EF_ALIGNMENT to zero. This will result in Electric Fence malloc() returning unaligned addresses for allocations with sizes that are not a multiple of the word size. This is not a problem in most cases, because compilers must pad the size of objects so that alignment restrictions are honored when storing those objects in arrays. The problem surfaces when soft- ware allocates odd-sized buffers for objects that must be word-aligned. One case of this is software that allocates a buffer to contain a structure and a string, and the string has an odd size (this example was in a popular TIFF library). If word references are made to un-aligned buffers, you will see a bus error (SIGBUS) instead of a segmentation fault. The only way to fix this is to re- write the offending code to make byte references or not make odd-sized allocations, or to set EF_ALIGNMENT to the word size. Another example of software incompatible with EF_ALIGNMENT < word-size is the strcmp() function and other string functions on SunOS (and probably Solaris), which make word-sized accesses to character strings, and may attempt to access up to three bytes beyond the end of a string. These result in a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV). The only way around this is to use versions of the string functions 27-April-1993 4 efence(3) efence(3) that perform byte references instead of word references. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEBUGGING YOUR PROGRAM 1. Link with libefence.a as explained above. 2. Run your program in a debugger and fix any overruns or accesses to free memory. 3. Quit the debugger. 4. Set EF_PROTECT_BELOW = 1 in the shell environment. 5. Repeat step 2, this time repairing underruns if they occur. 6. Quit the debugger. 7. Read the restrictions in the section on WORD- ALIGNMENT AND OVERRUN DETECTION. See if you can set EF_ALIGNMENT to 0 and repeat step 2. Sometimes this will be too much work, or there will be prob- lems with library routines for which you don't have the source, that will prevent you from doing this. MEMORY USAGE AND EXECUTION SPEED Since Electric Fence uses at least two virtual memory pages for each of its allocations, it's a terrible memory hog. I've sometimes found it necessary to add a swap file using swapon(8) so that the system would have enough vir- tual memory to debug my program. Also, the way we manipu- late memory results in various cache and translation buffer entries being flushed with each call to malloc or free. The end result is that your program will be much slower and use more resources while you are debugging it with Electric Fence. Don't leave libefence.a linked into production software! Use it only for debugging. PORTING Electric Fence is written for ANSI C. You should be able to port it with simple changes to the Makefile and to page.c, which contains the memory management primitives . Many POSIX platforms will require only a re-compile. The operating system facilities required to port Electric Fence are: A way to allocate memory pages A way to make selected pages inaccessible. A way to make the pages accessible again. A way to detect when a program touches an inacces- sible page. A way to print messages. 27-April-1993 5 efence(3) efence(3) Please e-mail me a copy of any changes you have to make, so that I can merge them into the distribution.

BUGS My explanation of the alignment issue could be improved. Some Sun systems running SunOS 4.1 are reported to signal an access to a protected page with SIGBUS rather than SIGSEGV, I suspect this is an undocumented feature of a particular Sun hardware version, not just the operating system. On these systems, eftest will fail with a bus error until you modify the Makefile to define PAGE_PROTECTION_VIOLATED_SIGNAL as SIGBUS. There are, without doubt, other bugs and porting issues.

I've only experienced it bieng slow, and I figured its like that since there is no EIDE driver (or so the kernel LINT config file said). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ShadowS WhiteFang Unix Software Development Thamer Al-Herbish And Consultancy. shadows@whitefang.com Specialising in Custom Network Applications for Unix Systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 4 22:46:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA23393 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 22:46:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts11-line12.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.127]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA23376; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 22:46:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA00542; Wed, 4 Sep 1996 22:44:19 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 22:44:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Eka Kelana cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <4B6E4B58B1@manado.wasantara.net.id> 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, 5 Sep 1996, Eka Kelana wrote: > I have difficulties in making my freebsd be able to connect to my ISP. > And I hope there are some people here who is able to give me some help. > > Here is my problem: > > My ISP uses PPP and assigns IP address to each user dynamically. > So I used user PPP and made a very few changes to PPP configuration file > example located in /etc/ppp, then I renamed it into it's proper name.

You should make a new entry for your ISP with the proper settings (device, speed, login sequence).

Well, if I knew what your school did then I could help. For instance, do you want to do SLIP or PPP? (IMHO PPP is the better way to go) Do you have access to a ppp command on the remote to start the PPP session? Do you know the login sequence to start the ppp session on the remote?

Apache has an option to explicity turn off reverse lookups. Don't know about other daemons. You can help matters by running a local caching nameserver. If you are using resolv.conf now, it'll help out by not forcing repeated lookups for the same address.

Does it have to be a 'real' user. This is a bad idea security wise. It would be much better if you were to create a seperate user/httpd pair and run it like that. For instance, I am using a DNS Perl program that handles my DNS maps for me. It has a web interface, so I create a user called nsadmin and a group nsadmin. I make all the relevant files owned by that pair and run httpd as that user. For things that have to be done as root, ( named.restart ) , I use a cronjob that checks to see if a .reboot file exists. -branson ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?

It is very courious. There has been a loot of people answering this question (and I thank you all), everybody tells me to use '"' around the name of the option (it worked), but the reason for doing that changes. Yours seems to be true. Now the kernel is working find on my Mozart card but my bravo sound card is not recognized. AAARGGHH!! Somebody told me to forget this crazy card and buy another... I'm thinking seriously about it. Now, I have another question. Is there a way to change the order in which devices are tested ? I would like to know because my mozart sound card is actually reconized but the CDROM controlled by it is not. I guess that if the sound card is initialized before FreeBSD tests for the CD driver, it'd (hopefully) work... thank you in advance. /\ /\ _ / \/ \ \___/_\ __ ( O O _) / / / \ /\ / ___ / / ___ | |\ / / | / / / |_|_ O __/____/\__/\___|/___/\__/ \/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 5 07:01:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA18900 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 07:01:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ime.net (ime.net [204.97.248.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA18893 for ; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 07:01:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kimiko.tcguy.net (buxton-10.ime.net [206.231.148.139]) by ime.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA02306; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 10:00:23 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <322EDCF9.2345@ime.net> Date: Thu, 05 Sep 1996 10:00:25 -0400 From: Gary Chrysler Reply-To: tcg@ime.net Organization: The Computer Guy X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: shadows@kuwait.net CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: 2.1.5-RELEASE installation question References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The ShadowS Know wrote: > > On Wed, 4 Sep 1996, Gary Chrysler wrote: > > > Paul T.

In FreeBSD's case this is the / slice! (root slice) The Limit: Is in the Systems BIOS INT 13 functions 16 bit registers. DX - 8 bits for head number. 8 bits for drive number. CX - 10 bits for cylinder number. 6 bits for sector number. The largest 10 bit number possible is 1023, Thus the limit on numbers of cylinders is 1024. (0-1023) What fries me is, DX allows 255 drives. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...

You need to download the /bin, /floppies, etc.. etc.. directories. The required directories are: /bin and /floppies. so: For 2.1.5-RELEASE you would get: /FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/bin /floppies I suggest getting /src as well. Of course get all files in them. There are easy ways to get all files in the dir completly in one shot. Although, Different strokes for different folx! So need help ask. A bit about your setup would help determine your best route. :) -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...

Before installing from QIC/SCSI Tape Installing from tape is probably the easiest method, short of an on-line install using FTP or a CDROM install. The installation program expects the files to be simply tar'ed onto the tape, so after getting all of the files for distribution you are interested in, simply tar them onto the tape with a command like: cd /freebsd/distdir tar cvf /dev/rwt0 (or /dev/rst0) dist1 .. dist2 Make sure that the `floppies/' directory is one of the ``dists'' given above, since the installation will look for `floppies/root.flp' on the tape. When you go to do the installation, you should also make sure that you leave enough room in some temporary directory (which you will be allowed to choose) to accommodate the full contents of the tape you have created. Due to the non-random access nature of tapes, this method of installation requires quite a bit of temporary storage. You should expect to require as much temporary storage as you have stuff written on tape. Note: When going to do the installation, the tape must be in the drive before booting from the boot floppy. The installation probe may otherwise fail to find it. ---------------- What files do I want and from what directory? I tarred the files from /bin at the http://www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/bin/*.* site and the install said it couldn't find 'bin' and other directoies. Should I tar /bin as directory? And I completly off base or what?

Is this the ISP settings or my modem settings? When I invoke "show modem" in user PPP, it shows me such settings (device, speed and parity) except the login sequence setting. I don't know how to set login sequence but I don't think it is necessary, since I use command "term" to log manually into remote machine. I need your advice about whether I should use a login script or log manually ... >Are you sure this is the problem? Did you check /var/log/ppp.log? I have checked /var/log/ppp.log, and the latest (I know it from the time recorded in it) log information I got from ppp.log looks like this: Using Interface:tun0 PPP Started *Connected! SIGTERM PPP Terminated Well, I simply think that as I get connected to my ISP (logging in and start remote PPP program), my local PPP program will put "*Connected!" in /var/log/ppp.log file. But as I have explained in my first e-mail, my local PPP program refuses to negotiate the IP address with the remote PPP program and my local PPP program gets stuck in "term" mode. I have checked the connection using ping program to send packet to my ISP's DNS address and it revealed me that the connection has not been established yet. So I simply invoke kill to terminate the PPP stucked process, and I think that's why my local PPP program put "SIGTERM" line in /var/log/ppp.log. >Do you require any special authentication? Is it really necessary? I have no problem with authentication when I make a PPP connection using MS Windows 95. >The other information isn't needed -- it's exchanged when the ppp session >is negotiated. Well, I thought so. And I'd like to add that my ISP uses LAN Access product from 3com and the operating system is the Cisco product. I hope this information can help you to identify the problem and help me to make my PPP works. >Doug White | University of Oregon >Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant >http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Thank's a lot Mr. Doug White, but I still need further help from you... :-) -Eka Kelana- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 5 11:42:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA08199 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 11:42:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from moretodaleft.tippecanoe.com (moretodaleft.tippecanoe.com [204.5.161.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA08194 for ; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 11:42:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: by moretodaleft.tippecanoe.com; id AA02146; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 11:50:51 -0700 Message-Id: <322F210A.4287@tippecanoe.com> Date: Thu, 05 Sep 1996 11:50:50 -0700 From: Jay Cotton Organization: Tippecanoe Systems, Inc.

We have a FreeBSD 2.1.0 system with a full time connection to the net through a 28.8 modem, and a Windows NT/95/3.1 lan on the inside. The FreeBSD box acts as a gateway to our Windows systems, which all have valid IP addresses within our class C. I want to keep out TCP and UDP traffic from ports 137, 138 and 139, so I started with something like this: /sbin/ipfw addf deny tcp from any to $1 137 /sbin/ipfw addf deny tcp from $1 137 to any (I've used $1 in a script so that I can try different values) When I run this script with $1=207.34.214.0, it doesn't work. Connections are still allowed through the net. Same with 207.34.214.255. It does work if I give a full ip, such as 207.34.214.5. My solution has been to run this script with every possible value for our class C network. This results in just over 3000 ipfw rules! (3 ports x 2 for full duplex x 2 for UDP/TCP x 253 valid IP's) Not only does the script take a heck of a long time to run, but it seems like a very in-efficient way to do things. I'm amazed the network (and internet services) are still running at a decent speed! I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, with only a few rules, but I haven't been able to find it. The only valid documentation I could find was the man page, since the FreeBSD Handbook examples, as well as most of the stuff in the mailing list archives on freebsd.org talk about other versions of ipfw that don't take the same syntax. Any help would be appreciated, Vic. BTW, what other things should I look at to protect the various MS-Windows systems on the network? Please don't suggest re-formatting and installing FreeBSD on all of them, although that would be nice. ;) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 5 13:36:24 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA16816 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 13:36:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ime.net (ime.net [204.97.248.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA16810 for ; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 13:36:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kimiko.tcguy.net (buxton-1.ime.net [206.231.148.130]) by ime.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA06629; Thu, 5 Sep 1996 16:36:08 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <322F39C0.27DD@ime.net> Date: Thu, 05 Sep 1996 16:36:16 -0400 From: Gary Chrysler Reply-To: tcg@ime.net Organization: The Computer Guy X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Dave Andersen CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Squid configuration References: <199609051932.NAA32749@terra.aros.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dave Andersen wrote: > > http://www.nlanr.net/Cache > squid-users@nlanr.net > > If you'd like, I'd be happy to send you my Squid configuration file as an > example.

Basically like the default sample! Maybe it didn't compile correctly, I'm going to rebuild it again even though there was no errors. I've ftp'd 1.0.12 and 1.1.alpha16, Havn't tried either of them yet, Just 1.0.0. Get it running first, then step out on the edge.. :) -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

Alot depends on how your ISP is setup! My ISP (and many others) start the PPP process on their side by the user entering the first character of the username as a capitol P, So username would be: Pusername. My ppp.conf to follow. Place you username or password where I have XXXXXXXX's. As well as set your device & speed. The login line may not fit your ISP exactly either, But it is a very common one. If I knew exactly what your ISP provided for a Login: and Password: prompt as well as their method of invoking ppp on their system I could be a bit more helpfull. Watch the wrap on the set dial line as well. default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 38400 set parity none disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER ABORT NO\\sDIAL\\sTONE TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" isp: set phone XXXXXXX set authname PXXXXXXXX set authkey XXXXXXXX set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: PXXXXXXXX word: XXXXXXXX" set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 dial Then all you need to do is: % ppp isp And it will invoke ppp and connect to your isp.

It works fine until I attempt to move a lot of data. I first had the problem when 'dump'ing to tape, across ether. I use amanda 3.0 for backup and have never had a problem until I installed the 2940.

The machines are identical and swapping out the 3c590 ether card with a 3c509 solved it for the unfortunate Win95 user. Could this be a pci bus problem?

I now have several more questions. I've been saving them up. 1) atapi.flp is not on the 2.1.5 CD (nor is inst_bat). I downloaded it from the 2.1.0 directory on the ftp server and used rawrite to copy to a fresh floppy. It appears to boot the kernel but when it begins searching the system it hangs up, giving me a blank screen. Is this why atapi.flp was not included in the 2.1.5 distribution? boot.flp works just fine until I ask for CD-ROM as install medium and get a "No CD-ROM..." message (which makes perfect sense). 2) Now that I have two hard drives, do I want a primary and secondary master (present set-up), or a master and slave? FreeBSD finds, opens and partitions the second master just fine. 3) If two master drives, where does the boot manager go? The BSD boot manager to open DOS, BSD, and NT? Or the NT boot manager, which I gather doesn't work very well. 4) Okay, so I know I can't at present install from the CD. I copy all of /dists and /floppies to an empty DOS partition, figuring I'll get the rest later. I go through the novice install menus and at the end I get: a) "Error mounting /dev/wd0s2 on /dos: invalid argument(22)" then, b) "Can't find kernel image..." then, c) "Install completed with errors..." and then back to the install menu. Copying the directories to d:\freebsd\dists\(distname)or d:\freebsd\(distname) seems not to make a difference. Is BSD loaded? Can I then go to the configuration menu and fix things? Any help would be greatly appreciated. As a wonderful learning experience, this is starting to get frustrating. Thanks.

I need the exact message from the first error. This is very important. Another thing to try might be to lower the sync rate to 8MHz for all of your drives. It looks like you have an early revision 2940 with the 42.5MHz clock crystal which means that it will run the bus slightly too fast and may be confusing the HP (this is known to happen on some Quantum drives like the 1080S). You can verify that this may be a cause of your problem by looking at the rating on the clock crystal of your card. -- Justin T.

This is not the same problem. Most likely one of the timeout values in the st driver is too short for something that your tape is doing (perhaps a recalibration??) and is bailing prematurely. I would bet that if you upped the timeouts in the st driver, the problem would go away. >If I could get ahold of another SCSI card then I would try that instead >and see if it fixes it, but I'm not sure if I can borrow one from >anywhere...

Right now, the old system has SVR4 with a SLIP link to the net... and thus to freefall. But I had no idea how I can offload/download the 2.1.5 binaries and use by boot.flp to install the newest release.` Is there a way that I can store the tarballs on the ancient SVR4 system and install them <>? The old box has i386/387, 16MB, 1079MB Fujitsu, Adaptec 1542c; Diamond Speedstar vcard with 1MB. No CDROM. The system was a home-brew. After a lot of thought I'm wondering if the best route would be to run of the 16 or 17 floppies from the CD on the newer box, then set up PPP and go from there. So...can anybody clue me in on which files I need to put onto floppies and load in?

I'm sure this is a simple problem to fix, and probably has something to do with the fact that there are no encrypted passwords in the /etc/passwd file. Has anyone ported this version of xlock to FreeBSD 2.1.5 or know an easy fix? BTW, I'm running the DES encryption package... Seems like xlockmore-2.11 is the latest one in the packages section.

I have been attempting to install a SMC 8146T card to work with my FreeBSD system. I am attempting to connect to a local network. After doing all of the kernel configs, and configuring the card (in DOS, with PnP off) and adding an a few ifconfig lines, I am still having trouble. After booting, I get messages that "/kernal: ed0 incorrect packet size" This system does use BOOTP servers. Could this have something to do with a BOOTP server? What else could cause this problem. All help would be greatly appreciated.

But I never was. Anyone know? Assuming you do not require an overlay to support your big hard disk drive, you can install a 'boot manager' to allow booting off the second disk. On the CD or in /tools on the ftp site, there are two files, 'bootinst.exe' and 'boot.bin'. Grab both files and run bootinst.exe. Next time you reboot, you'll get a menu which will allow you to boot the first or second disk. This program is called 'booteasy' and is what is installed in sysinstall.

To test the upgrade process, To test tape backups (ft/lft), knowledge etc, etc, ..., .... All went well! In fact all went super! The upgrades go well, Backup your /etc directory, Although the upgrade will do it as well, But back it up yourself anyways! You'll need to take notes on the files it can't upgrade and do this manually, This envolves merging your backed up /etc with the new one! But just in case, Backup all valuables! Personally, I always choose to do fresh installs for the final install though.. :) I then view the old setup files on one system and fixup the new system! Works all to well, I learn something new each time, My system design improves each time, It gets rid of my previous blunders.

Quick checklist (which I just wrote last message...): 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC (and other important files). IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (but you can skip XFree86 if you installed it from 2.1.0 -- there are no changes) and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Unless you assigned a password at install time there is none. At login type "root" and it should log your in with no password. The first thing you should do after you log in as root is set a password for 'root' and then create an account for yourself with adduser and assign it to the group "wheel". From then on, always log in as yourself. If you need to do any administrative tasks, 'su' to root with the su command. As root you can do significant damage with a single keystroke totally by accident. If none of this makes sense to you, get ahold of one or two of the many great titles on UNIX use and administration. Greg Lehey's book "Installing and Running FreeBSD" is a MUST HAVE item in my opinion, as well as "UNIX System Administration Handbook" (by Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass, and Hein).

The ATAPI code is now integrated into the 2.1.5-RELEASE boot floppy.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to reinstall FBSD using FTP over a PPP connection. I'm using a USR 14.4K Sportster modem on com 1, IRQ 4, with the following modem string: AT&F&A3&B1&H1&C1&R2, which resets the modem to its defaults, enables HW Handshaking, fixes the serial port speed, and tells the modem to give real info for carrier detect. The port speed is 19.2K. There shouldn't be any IRQ or port conflicts, as I have pulled out my serial card, so only the modem is using any ports. I can connect ok to my ISP, and login fine, and PPP enters packet mode ok. The install begins and then all of a sudden after about 100K-200K has been transfered (or about 3 minutes later), ppp suddenly drops the connection. In the log, ppp reports that the connection was dropped because "Too many ECHO packets are lost". Does anybody know what is causing this program? ppp worked fine for me before in FBSD, but my modem was on com 2 then. When I tried to do a reinstall FBSD over FTP using the boot disk, I found that for some reason, I couldn't access my modem, as even when I told sysinstall to use com 2/cuaa1, it would always start up ppp with com1/cuaa0. If I manually tried to get ppp to switch over to com2 by typing "set device /dev/cuaa1" and go to term, I find that it is still using com1. Before I tried to reinstall FreeBSD, I could use ppp fine for hours on end, but now that I'm installing from the bootdisk, ppp fails repeatedly. I've tried playing around with many different types of modem strings, port speeds, etc. but nothing seems to work. Strangely, ppp can stay connected as long as it wishes if no data is being transmitted, but the moment the FTP begins, the 3 minute/200K timer starts ticking... Has this happened to anybody else before? Is there just some little setup option that I have overlooked? Any help is appreciated.

I say: use TCP/IP and not NetBIOS if you can have it that way. NT server will let you serve printers as if it were running lpd. It will even serve remote printers that it connects to over NetBIOS (like printers connected to Win95 workstations who can't manage those tricks). Look in the NT Networking Manual (I think). There is a chapter on TCP/IP printing with instructions on how to export an NT printer to a UNIX host. On the FreeBSD machine, I simply followed the instructions in the Handbook for setting up a remote lpd printer. Here is my printcap entry: qms|QMS|qms420|QMS420|QMS 420 via NT:\ :sh:lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/qms:rm=darcy.barcode.co.il:\ :rp=QMS420: And lpq -Pqms will give: Windows NT 3.5 LPD Server Printer QMS420 Owner Status Jobname Job-Id Size Pages Priority ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It takes some time to answer. Don't hit ^C too soon... I'm a bit far away from my NT server, so I can't give you the exact configuration there, but it's pretty much RTFM there. This printer I gave you the setup for is actually connected to a Win95 station to which the NT server (darcy.barcode.co.il) connects.

There is nothing to clean in there. I don't know what messages you're talking about in the log files, but my guess is that what generated those messages is some script that checks file system for being full and does not ignore /proc (and it should do that).

When I login on the console and connect to a remote machine (telnet or kermit) just many full screen text applications are just about useless. I suspect this is due to the different terminal types. I use vt100 on the remote side and cons25 on the local side. I have tried setting the local terminal type to vt100 but that did not seem to help. The remote side does not have this cons25 type. In order to use vt100 emulation will I need to switch to the vt console driver?

Before doing anything radical, check with FDISK if there is an active partition, and if there isn't one, make the partition you want to boot from active. If that's not it, please give more information (what partitions you have on what disks, what boot manager you use, etc.) so people can better help you.

I subscribed to FREEBSD thinking wouldn't it be great to run a proper Operating System on my PC.? I put the FREEBSD CD in my panasonic CD drive and its visible from windows. I can vcreate a boot floppy and boot successfully. However, thats as far as I get. The view screen says there are no CD drives and no SCSI disks!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I'M GOING WRONG. Here's the config of the PC: Its a clone IBM using an INTEL 486 DX2 50 CPU, 8MB RAM, adaptec 1542B scsi controller, quantum lp240S SCSI disk, JAZZ16 (soundblaster compatible sound card) which also hosts the Panasonic CD-ROM. I have a standard serial/Parallel card which supports a 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives. I use MSCDEX to make the CD visible.

Haven't used ipfilter - though I noticed a lengthy thread a few weeks ago about ipfilter vs. ipfw. It turned into yet another holy war toward the end. I know that ipfw is significantly improved in 2.1.5 over the 2.1.0 version, including allowing rules applicable to selected ICMP packet types. I use it because I know how to get it to work for me, and am quite happy with the results.

I'm running 2.1.0 on my firewall, and the docs specifically mention that ipfw cannot filter on ICMP types, so I use IPfilter. > including allowing rules applicable to selected ICMP packet types.

U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de ICMP echo requests and "/etc/services echo 7/tcp" are two different things. Echo (tcp/udp port 7) is used to echo everything you type to it. If you telnet to port 7 on a machine that allows it, it will echo everything you type back to you. ICMP packets on the other hand don't have ports associated with them, and echo requests/replies are just one of their uses. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks to Hal I've got the firewall working great here. My only remaining problem seems to be inetd. When I boot with the firewall option enabled in the kernel (no logging or accounting), inetd does not work until it receives a SIGHUP. The behaviour is the same whether I run ipfw during startup or not. Immediately after booting and establishing a connection with my ISP, I try to telnet myself, from myself and get "Connection refused". If I then send a SIGHUP to it, which causes it to re-read its configuration, it works fine. Changing rc to run inetd -l doesn't create a log that I can find anywhere. Nothing to the /var/log/messages file anyway. I can't figure out a way to run it with the -d switch from rc, and if I run in interactively it works. In the worst case I'll write a program to detect if it is working or not and SIGHUP it if it isn't going, and run that in a cron job, but if anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to year from you. Thanks again, Vic.

Here are the specifics: PentiumPro 200, 256M memory We need 22000 pages of Shared memory for one application, and a little bit more. On Ultrix 4.4, we declare smmax at 24000 and smseg 32 and things work well. The total shared memory can be any amount. On our FreeBSD 2.x.x (we have tried 2.1.0, 2.1.5, and 2.2.snap (most recent)) when we set SHMMAXPGS to 22000 and SHMALL to something over 30000, we get a kernel panic in kmem_suballoc of type 3. My questions are: Is there a limit to the amount of SYSV shared memory in FreeBSD(any version)? What are the real meanings of SHMMAXPGS, SHMALL, SHMMAX, and other shared memory options? We really want to move away from our DecStations and move to PCs but this is a big sticky issue. Any other pointers? Thanks Rob -- Rob Miracle Tantalus Inc.

Not only is it "woefully out of date", but it has some bugs that cause it to core dump, leaving you with no lock (the flame module does this quite regularly).

The hardware is: ASUS P120 motherboard, 128MB RAM, crappy old Adaptec ISA card (aha driver) and 3 x Maxtor 2GB drives. (ISA video, no ether yet) I'm using the adaptec card until I get some decent buslogic PCI cards. (I've had LOTS of problems with Adaptec 2940 PCI cards!) Drive 0 is the root disk and has /, swap, /usr and /var. Drives 1 & 2 are setup identical, 64MB swap partition (b) and the rest empty (partition f) for the ccd. (I'm not using the swap partitions yet, but read that it was a bad thing the have the ccd partitions at the start of the disk) I built a kernel with the ccd driver present as it says in the man page, did a cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV ccd0 with no problems. Then I did: ccdconfig -c -v ccd0 32 none /dev/sd1f /dev/sd2f which resulted in a kernel panic. The message is: vm_bounce_alloc: b_bufsize(0x80) < b_count(0x200) !! panic: vm_bounce_alloc followed by the usual syncing disks bit. The number in the b_bufsize() varies from crash to crash. Am I doing anything obviously wrong?

It doesn't do logins, it wants to use CHAP, but I've been mucking with it and haven't made it work. Has anyone done this? How did you configure things on each end? The problem I'm seeing is, first, that after dialing completes, it just sits waiting for NT to start negotiation, which never happens. I can force it, though, by doing a 'close', getting into term, then going back to packet mode with "~p". When I do that, I see a config reject from _both_ ends, rejecting the "c223" protocol, which happens to be CHAP. I've scratched my head, and am waiting for the guy that configured the NT system to find docs for it, but in the meantime I thought I would ask this list, in case someone has already solved the problem. I need it to work yesterday, and it doesn't look like it will work until next week at the earliest, if then. Any help would be _very_ appreciated.

I just have a few questions dealing with the online documentation; specifically two issues... We almost exclusively run Linux here, and the 3Com cards work great. We like to stick with one vendor/model as much as possible so spares are easy to keep around. In the online handbook, I see the 3C509 has a note next to it that says (buggy). It seems to be OK, but this will be a production machine. What I'm wondering is whether the handbook is referring to 2.1 or 2.1.5 or both and if the driver is truly buggy what might be recommended as far as another ethernet card. Also, there will be user accounts on this box, and I'd like to implement quotas. The handbook has a nice how-to, but in /etc/sysconfig I see a warning about turning on quotas. Is this still flakey, and could anyone recommend whether or not the quota system would be OK on a production machine? I've got a third question as well (sorry): What is the upper limit on the amount of memory FreeBSD 2.1 or 2.1.5 will recognize? Any suggestions on these issues are greatly appreciated... As I mentioned currently 2.1 is installed (made the mistake of going thru InfoMagic instead of Walnut Creek) but I'm open to 2.1.5 as soon as the other CD arrives here...

The 3c509b's that I run have run flawlessly and the "buggy" refers to motherboards that don't reset the ISA on a warm reboot, which obviously is not everybody. Others have written into the list corroborating successful use of the 3c509b's as well. Again the only caveat is to turn off plug n play with the 3c5x9cfg utility on the 3com DOS disk. The questions about "Is it _really_ buggy?" have become sufficiently common that I'm hearby volunteering to write a FAQ entry for "How come the 3c509 might be buggy?" - If the author of the ep driver (for the 3c5x9 cards) would like additional information, I may be able to get through to an engineer at 3com.

This is bad. If you want it to start every time you login .. use .login instead. You might also look at using xdm instead .. with that you will have a graphical login prompt. And it will automagically restart every time you logout. The nice thing about this and freebsd is that you can still use a text console with syscons. -branson ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?

What you have probabally done is put startx in your shell initalization file (.cshrc for csh, .zshrc for zsh, etc... Read the manpage for your shell). When you start your Xterms, they execute that script and try to start X again. What you need is to check to see if the .X0-lock file exists, and if it doesn't, then run startx; or run startx manually from the command line. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::. . . . . ..:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Jason Andresen :. . . . . . . . . : Nessus :: :: jandrese@vt.edu :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:: nessus@vt.edu :: :.........................: Quote of the day :..........................: If you keep an open mind people will throw a lot of garbage in it. :::::::::::.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.........................:.:.:.:.:.:.:.::::::::::: From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 6 12:37:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA22121 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Sep 1996 12:37:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from netgate.qcworld.com (netgate.qcworld.com [204.217.252.254]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA22111 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 1996 12:37:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rigel.qcworld.com ([198.62.199.40]) by netgate.qcworld.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA15663 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 1996 12:40:52 -0700 Received: from tailspin.qcworld.com (frf@tailspin.qcworld.com [198.62.199.77]) by rigel.qcworld.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA29499 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 1996 12:35:59 -0700 Received: (from frf@localhost) by tailspin.qcworld.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id MAA02013 for questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 6 Sep 1996 12:37:42 -0700 (PDT) From: frf Message-Id: <199609061937.MAA02013@tailspin.qcworld.com> Subject: sup vs. sup3?

Isn't there a CERT advisory out for PERl 5.002 at this moment Sourced from ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-96.12.suidperl_vul ============================================================================= CERT(sm) Advisory CA-96.12 Original issue date: June 26, 1996 Last revised: August 30, 1996 Information previously in the README was inserted into the advisory. A complete revision history is at the end of this file. Topic: Vulnerability in suidperl - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center has received reports of a vulnerability in systems that contain the suidperl program and that support saved set-user-ID and saved set-group-ID. By exploiting this vulnerability, anyone with access to an account on such a system may gain root access. Saved set-user-IDs and set-group-IDs are sometimes referred to as POSIX saved IDs. suidperl is also known as sperl followed by a version number, as in sperl5.002. Perl versions 4 and 5 can be compiled and installed in such a way that they will be vulnerable on some systems. If you have installed the suidperl or sperl programs on a system that supports saved set-user-ID and set-group-ID, you may be at risk. The CERT Coordination Center recommends that you first disable the suidperl and sperl programs (Section III.A). If you need the functionality, we further recommend that you either apply a patch for this problem or install Perl version 5.003 (Section III.B). If neither a patch nor a new version are viable alternatives, we recommend installing the wrapper written by Larry Wall as a workaround for this problem (Section III.C).

You can just grab the new sysv_shm in current, and it will probably work in 2.2-snap. The SHM segments no longer take any significant KVA space. The code might be buggy, but the changes are pretty simple, and I have tested the operation of the SHM by using xanim with the SVSHM option (+B) and it appears to work. Good Luck!!!

That's no surprise. You will want to do the following: 0) Make sure the CD is in the drive. 1) At the Boot: prompt, type '-c' 2) At the config> prompt, type 'visual' 3) On 'Storage' hit enter.

It's great, except for one thing. With 64k, I can max out the capacity of the channel, e.g. I get around 7.5KB/sec. However, with 128k, I only manage to get 9.5KB/sec or so, better, but certainly a waste of two B channels, with which I have seen a router do 15KB/sec. I'm sure it's the serial port, since to get the most of the 128k link, I need at least 160k on the serial port. So, the $10000 question is, are there any affordable async cards that can do 230.4k or better, and is supported by 2.1.0 or 2.1.5? I wouldn't even mind getting the sio driver from current and putting that in, if that works. Thanks, Mike.

You DO need to have root privileges do install nearly every software package, at least anything that creates files in /usr or /usr/local. Tar complains because it tries to extract files to subdirectories of /usr/X11R6 (you did create that one as root didn't you?) which he has been unable to create (because of file permissions). So: 1) type that list of commands logged in as root (or type "su" from your normal account) 2) bring up a Bourne subshell by typing "sh". The default shell for the root account on FreeBSD is the C-shell which has a different syntax for "for" loops. It would accept the following (just for your information) : foreach i (*.tgz) tar -xzf $i end Bonne chance, _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) 1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) 1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

On first use, it works OK, I can move between tracks, etc., but if I press the stop or eject buttons, it never works again. I ran xmcd in debug mode and what appears to happen is that the device driver starts handing out EIO errors. Starting xmcd again has no effect, it gets EIO errors from the start and never recognizes there's a disc in the drive, so this persists between device opens. Once I get in this state, if I then run xcdplayer, it reports EIO errors every second, but I can press play and it works. Whenever the CD is not playing though, it starts reporting EIO errors again. This in no way "rehabilitates" things so that xmcd will work again. I'm running 2.2-960801-SNAP with Amancio's GUS PNP changes on a generic Triton chipset Pentium 166 machine. The only device on the IDE is an Acer 8X IDE drive configured as master. The disk is SCSI on a generic NCR825 PCI controller. The disk is partioned with Win 95 also so on those *RARE* (ahem) occasions when I boot that, I've been able to use several CD player programs with no trouble. Anyone seen something like this? Someone want to venture a guess if this is a kernel bug or some oddity with my particular hardware setup?

I can tell why vi totaled your /var filesystem. FreeBSD has vi.recover in /var/tmp and when you size your splices automatically in the installation program you wind up with /var bieng smaller than /usr usualy. When I was downloading the ports and packages I totaled /var/tmp/ while getting XEmacs (bloat city). So I did this, although I'm not sure if its recommended by FreeBSD gurus. $ pwd /var $ ls -al /var/tmp lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Sep 6 15:31 /var/tmp -> /usr/tmp $ $ df Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 63550 42874 15592 73% / /dev/wd0s2f 1758174 356486 1261036 22% /usr /dev/wd0s2e 59454 2404 52294 4% /var procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc My /usr splice is much bigger so from now on everytime some program decides to write to /var/tmp, and in your care /var/tmp/vi.recover i bet it realy does it in /usr/tmp since I've made a symbolic link. I'm wondering why FreeBSD didnt decide to just put vi.recover in /usr/tmp makes more sense to me as its the bigger partition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ShadowS WhiteFang Unix Software Development Thamer Al-Herbish And Consultancy. shadows@whitefang.com Specialising in Custom Network Applications for Unix Systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 7 10:05:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA18729 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 7 Sep 1996 10:05:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from broken.whitefang.com (broken.whitefang.com [199.173.153.182]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA18708 for ; Sat, 7 Sep 1996 10:05:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (shadows@localhost) by broken.whitefang.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA01510 for ; Sat, 7 Sep 1996 17:03:40 +0300 (AST) X-Authentication-Warning: broken.whitefang.com: shadows owned process doing -bs Date: Sat, 7 Sep 1996 17:03:40 +0300 (AST) From: The ShadowS Know Reply-To: shadows@whitefang.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Buffer limit on socket 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'vr recently put together a program that eventually shoots out hundreds of UDP packets for asynchronous DNS lookups. It worked fine on a number of platforms my clients are using (SCO Unix, Linux etc), when I decided to compile and test it on FreeBSD I wound up with one problem even though I found a fix around, I'm just wondering why FreeBSD has it. Basically after the hundred or so packet bieng shot I'd get [ENOBUFS] The system was unable to allocate an internal buffer. The operation may succeed when buffers become available. (taken from the manpage) I just had it wait for packets to arrive and then shoot out again. Seemed to work fine. But this does slow it down a bit. Is there a way of increasing my socket buffer size? I tried some socket options with no result. It looks like an internal kernel socket allocation to me (abviously). Is there a way of recompiling my kernel and increasing the size?

I've seen this question too many times, but I have yet to find a *definintive* answer. How do I link a private LAN to the Internet over a PPP connection? The goal of this inquiry is twofold: 1) To get it working :-) 2) To document the process for inclusion in the Handbook or whatever. Here is the situation: A) I've set up a small 10BaseT network here between my 486 laptop running DOS and/or OS/2 (and in the future a Win95 P166) to my FreeBSD box. I can talk to the laptop just fine (telnet, ftp, etc). The network uses the 10.0.0.x block. B) I currently dial up my ISP using iijppp. That works fine. FWIW, I'm dialing into a Cisco terminal server. C) I have a NE2000 Ethernet card. Possibilities: 1) Run a caching server such as squid or harvest. This is no good; I need outbound telnet too. 2) Run SOCKS. No good; I don't know how to reconfigure the Novell Lan Workplace tcp/ip clients to use the socks server. (If someone knows how to do this I'm listening!! -- or perhaps know SOCKSified Windows clients) Anyone have a socks5.conf I can steal? 3) Run a firewall. Trying that now, it doesn't look like the firewall will proxy or perform the necessary conversions to get the replies back. Thoughts?

Everything is okay but the 'dip' program. I installed the dip package from CDROM, and I fixed the sample1.dip file to fit my case. (I already know how 'dip' works since I've set up and using Linux for more than a year) But in FreeBSD, after I dialed to my remote gateway by using 'dip', I obtained the dynamic IP for my local pc. The problem is after I got the IP for my local pc, I can't use 'telnet' or 'rlogin' or 'ftp' to connect to my account! When I use netstat -rn to check, it show s the local IP and the gateway IP, the ethernet IP and the loopback IP (127.0.0.1). When I use ps -gax to list all the processes, I don't see the IP but the "dip filename". On the other hand, for Linux, after I connected to remote site, when I type ps -gax it shows the "dip filename ==> 128.200.xxx.xxx"! I don't have any problem w/ Linux dip but I don't know wy I can't use bsddip to connect to my remote site? Do I need to fix any file in /etc or some other files?

You replace the entire /sys/i386/isa/sound directory and build a new kernel. Works like a charm. All the right stuff happens and there's none of this initializing it under DOS bogosity. There are several versions of patches, some work under 2.1.5 and some under current. The only problem I've had is that it detects the wrong amount of memory installed on the board (I have 2.5M and it detects 1M). I used to run this under 2.1.5 and I'm now using the GUS PnP under 2.2-080196-SNAP.

Also don't export any with root access enabled. It would certainly be better if your NIS domain name is not obvious. That would make life more difficult for someone who wants to download your NIS passwd map. These are the two things crossing my mind now, there are probably a lot of others to check... Oh, and if you're running a DNS server for your domain, make sure that the CISCO allows connections to 53/udp and 53/tcp from outside. Also allow connections to 113/tcp from outside (identd).
