After it dials, I'd have it send email to a account you have on a fully connected computer with it's dynamic address. When you want to telnet to a machine at home, check your email, get the address, and telnet to the FreeBSD box. Then telnet to the machines on your local network from there. This is (I think) the simplest way to do things. I do know of people who have set up Linux routers where you telnet to a specific port to get a particular machine. I think they patched telnetd to do it. > > > Can't believe you guys are here for free but I am very glad you are. > > > THANKS IN ADVANCE - John Carini > (201) 701-9141 > From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 16 11:20:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA20761 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 11:20:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from quickintl.com (quickintl.com [208.7.136.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA20752 for ; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 11:20:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from georgehegyes.internetuniverse.com (153.35.20.171) by quickintl.com with SMTP (Apple Internet Mail Server 1.1.1); Sun, 16 Feb 1997 14:24:25 -0500 Message-ID: <33078696.2F28@internetuniverse.com> Date: Sun, 16 Feb 1997 14:13:42 -0800 From: George Hegyes X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I; 16bit) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: mounting msdos drive located on another controller Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have loaded freeBSD on its own harddrive located on the master position of the primary IDE controller, I have a CDROM set up as the slave on the primary and a MSDOS drive on the master position of the secondary IDE controller.

Ok, let's check the setup vs what I am using. a. I just dumped the XKEYSYMDB in my home directory. I don't think this is a problem, I also point to it in the environment. b. I have the same thing for XNLSPATH in my environment. c. Ok, I think this is wrong. java_301 should not be part of the CLASSPATH, just :/usr/local/lib/netscape/ . I don't even use a CLASSPATH environment variable, netscrape just knows to look in that path. And that would be where you store other classes too, at least for global access. 3. Take another look at the README that came with the tar ball you downloaded. Unless you got it from the port and you don't have the README. Then I can email it to you. It is short and to the point.

I posted it to the XFree86 Web site and to their newsgroup without response. The solution I have found is to just use a different video card, but if anyone else has seen this behavior I would be intersted in discussing it: 486-66 32meg VLB with diamond speedstar pro video card (using cirrus logic chip) and 2 meg ram on the card. Card works nicely with win3.1 and win95. I'm running FreeBSD2.1R and XFree that came with it on the CDrom. Xwindows will fire up and I can use it, but when I exit Xwindows it freezes the console requiring either hitting the reset button, or logging in remotely for a remote reboot or halt. ^alt backspace does the same thing. ^alt F1 F2 or F3 does the same thing. A few seconds after the machine locks the power saving light comes on for the monitor (sony 15fs which i have had working on other freebsd Xwindows systems). I've tried XF86_SVGA and XF86_16VGA and the accelerated server. all with the same behavior. I plugged in a generic SVGA card yesterday and fired it right up and exited cleanly. I've tried the nolinear and noaccell options in XF86Config. Anyone want to buy a diamond speedstar pro VLB card with 2 meg? ;) I tried to contact diamond but they seem to have vanished off the earth (or at least I can't find them) thanks, dave racette From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 16 13:15:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA27749 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 13:15:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from luke.cpl.net ([206.85.245.131]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA27740 for ; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 13:15:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA01522; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 13:15:01 GMT Date: Sun, 16 Feb 1997 13:15:00 +0000 (GMT) From: Shawn Ramsey X-Sender: shawn@luke.cpl.net To: Alexander Yakhnych cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: quota's?

Any suggestions would be > greatly appreciated. Telnetd and ftpd do a reverse name lookup. If the 3rd machines can't resolve your NT box'es address to a name, the same symptom will show up. If you can log into the 3rd machine, do `nslookup ' and see if it can resolve the address. If it can't, that is most likely your problem. You can fix it by either adding a PTR record to your named database or an entry in /etc/hosts and making sure /etc/host.conf says first check the hosts file.

Unfortunately, since this is a dedicated IRC server, the Ppro has not proven to be a great advantage. IRCd runs almost entirely in memory, and from what I've been given to understand, the main value of a Ppro + FreeBSD 2.2 combination is interrupt processing. OTOH, it is faster for compiling than the old system was, however we also increased the RAM to 128M.

Old tape drives with the Pertec interface (might look like 2 ribbon-cable plugs next to each other) won't work, since there's no BSD driver for the interface cards.

Um, well *I'm* running a Cipher F880 w/ Pertec interface here and have been since 1.1-ish days. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get any "publicly available" information on the characteristics of the Pertec interface (I've already figured out how the controller card I have works) and so I can't release my driver for public consumption. :-( > Just treat them like regular tape drives, just a lot slower, bigger, > louder, and with a lot less capacity :) Yes, amazing how the DLT that sits next to my 9 track puts it to shame!

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== 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"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter 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. 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. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that 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: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. 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. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. If you do all this, and you still 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. To summarize, 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 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

The TC-50M works whilst interfaced to a _real_ IBM 8MHz 80286 PC/AT with 2.5MB memory, 2 Seagate 106MB RLL drives. The old machine is running Microport System V/AT (and has been since 1986) and has an Overland Data driver. I have a Kennedy 800/1600bpi drive and a 1600/3200 drive from Qualstar. As you say, newer drives are so much faster and larger and cheaper for storage that there's not much reason for a driver for the old 9tr drives under FreeBSD. Except that it pleases me to watch them spin. Overland Data wouldn't supply any information at all on the interface cards. I wonder if I'll choose them for the next big buy of SCSI tape equipment at work? Heh :-) I can still read installation tapes from Version 6, Version 7, 2.8bsd, and 2.9bsd with the Kennedy drive. That pleases me, too. I also had a 500cps paper tape reader interfaced to the '286 by serial port. That was fun to watch, too. Only one paper tape left, though, and that's just heirloom. -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 16 20:44:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA22565 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 20:44:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from vic.cioe.com (vic.cioe.com [204.120.165.37]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA22542 for ; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 20:44:43 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by vic.cioe.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA11294; Sun, 16 Feb 1997 23:44:34 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 16 Feb 1997 23:44:34 -0500 (EST) From: Steve Ames Message-Id: <199702170444.XAA11294@vic.cioe.com> To: steve@vic.cioe.com, web@merit.edu Subject: Re: radius and cisco Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I've got a cisco 2511 running Cisco IOS 11.1.9.

Just a few points: yeah it does work, and it's harder to install if you don't have a wd0 disk. I seem to have a broken BIOS in my SCSI controller (it doesn't recognize any of my devices on boot, works great after the kernel gets done with it). Since I rarely reboot, this isn't much of an inconvenience. Basically, the situation is: The boot option '-a' appears broken. It's supposed to ask for a root device sometime during boot. This forces you to use '-r' to mount a root other than the boot device, meaning you have to use a line: 'config root on ' (wd0 in GENERIC). So if you have to put your root device on something other than wd0, you have to jump through a couple hoops during the install to also build a new kernel during the install. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the only | is unwelcome.

I took a look in the FreeBSD mailing list archives for information, and then just went for it. I'll try to supply some information here. First, the SCSI adapter that comes with the internal SCSI ZIP drive is AHA-1505 based, I believe, so you can use the aic driver. Works just fine from what I remember. I later upgraded to an AHA-2940AU, and that worked okay on 2.1.5 once I figured out that the 2940AU has a slightly different ID from the 2940U, so I just compared to the 2.1.6 code for the ahc driver and patched my 2.1.5 ahc driver to use the new ID for the 2940AU. Once I had the adapters configured into the kernel and installed the Zip drive, it showed up as sd0. To see what kind of partition is on a particular Zip disk, use the `fdisk' command. To partition the disk, you'll need a disktab entry. I got one from the archives, and have since lost it, since I haven't partitioned disks very often. I hope this helps. Again, I encourage you to search the mailing list archives for more gory details. -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 17 08:26:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA25280 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Feb 1997 08:26:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA25273 for ; Mon, 17 Feb 1997 08:26:56 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA23254; Mon, 17 Feb 1997 08:26:55 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 08:26:55 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: John Clark cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Automatic File Send (FTP) In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19970217105051.00a6f100@netview.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 17 Feb 1997, John Clark wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to dispatch a file automatically to another server at a given > time.

You'll need access to a DOS or UNIX machine with a floppy drive and some way of getting the boot floppy image onto it, being by dial-up, LAN, or CDROM. For DOS, all you need to grab is rawrite.exe from tools/ and the boot floppy image boot.flp from floppies/. For UNIX, you just need boot.flp, then run ``dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0'' (or equivalent device) to copy the image to the disk. Or, you could create a 20mb slice, install DOS on it, rawrite the floppy then blow it away when you get to the FreeBSD slice editor. This is actually a good idea; this way, the slice is created to that it is compatible with booteasy, if you ever plan to install more OSs on this machine.

Can I create a new floppy with the custom kernel? If you're having trouble with this, it's a PC BIOS limitation. You might try something like System Commander or Partition Magic that has a pretty in-depth boot manager, which might be able to read the disk directly instead of using the BIOS services. You might try upgrading your BIOS, if possible.

Without XWindows, FreeBSD isn't much different from your standard UNIX-style OS, from a user interface perspective. You may customize the prompt to whatever you like. For instance, I'm using tcsh and customized my prompt to read gdi,ttyp2,~,12> which keeps vital information (machine, current dir, command history position) at hand. If you use Xwindows, then anything is possible. I use fvwm 1.x, which has a windows 3.1-ish window decor. You can get all manner of window managers which look like popular OSs. The other day we discovered qvwm, which is very close to the standard Windows95 desktop with the same sort of features (taskbar, window decor, etc). The possibilites are endless. The Walnut Creek CDROM catalog has a couple of screenshots of possible desktops under XWindows.

The likelyhood of support for this is somewhere between 1 and a million and nil. QIC-80 is about as big as you can get with floppy tape. SCSI tapes work pretty much flawlessly.

That is the hard way and would take more than small animals, most likely your first born child :) The best way is to boot the boot floppy for 2.2 and select the 'upgrade' option. This is my new improved FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) 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 (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . You may want to copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy. Hope this helps.

(I'd like to be able to boot up either Win95 or FreeBSD, selectable at boot time.) (I've been using FreeBSD for the last few years on another home machine, and think it is FANSTASTIC.) Here's my question: is it possible to install FreeBSD on the Compaq without having to wipe the disk and re-install Win95? Here's one idea: resize the Win95 partition to make it smaller, and then put a FreeBSD partition on the disk. Another (crazier) idea: insall FreeBSD in such a way that the MS-DOS file system on drive C is the root file system for FreeBSD. Something I read in passing in one of the /usr/share/doc files seemed to imply that this was possible. Question #1: Just in case disaster strikes, I would like to be able to re-install Win95 from scratch. Seemingly randomly (phase of the moon no doubt), every once in a while when I boot the Compaq I get a Win95 utility that offers to help me create a set of backup floppy disks that can be used to re-install Win95. It offers to let you back up two separate sets of system files. I used it to back up Win95 (it took 31 floppies!), and would like to back up the other set of system files as well using this mystical utility. So, the question: How do I invoke this `Create System Intallation Floppies' utility??? (One way is to just keep rebooting the machine until that utility magically decides to present itself again :-( ). As far as the first idea goes, here's how I am thinking of proceeding: 1) Use a disk re-partitioning package. I found two to choose from at CompUSA: Partition-It from Quarterdeck, and Partition Magic from someone else. Shrink the Win95 partition using said utility. (I bought Partition-It, and so far haven't been having much luck. On a test Win95 machine I tried it on, Partition-It died horribly every time I tried to run it. (General Protection Fault or some such, and then the application went totally crazy, filling up the task bar with random garbage, making the application window flicker wildly, etc. Quite a show!)) 2) Use the `Custom' FreeBSD installation option, and put a FreeBSD partition out there. 3) Proceed with the FreeBSD installation. Question #2: Does the above approach have a chance of working?? Question #3: Is there reliable freeware that will take a MicroSoft partition and make it smaller? Or do I have to try to use one of these flaky and expensive commercial packages? Question #4: Does the second approach, using an MS-DOS partition that already has Win95, have a prayer? (I sorta hate the second approach based on experience with /dos partitions on my current FreeBSD machine. Weird constraints on file names, weird stuff with protections, etc. Win95 seems to do better with file names than DOS. Is it possible to use the Win95 file system under FreeBSD rather than the DOS file system? Does that question even make any sense? ;-) ) Anyway, as usual, thanks very much in advance for any thoughts or help.

I once had a need to do this as well, and NcFTP2 worked great. All you gotta do is have it log in manually, and have a macro file to tell it what to do when its logged in. Then you just call it from CRON when you need it to transfer.

I have another box that I will do the upgrade on first to check it out. After I have successfully gone through the process, then I will do the upgrade on my server.

You may install popper from the ports tree, under ports/net or ports/mail, from 2.1.6 CDROM 2. copy the popper directory over to your hard disk, then enter the directory and type 'make' to start, 'make install' as root when that finishes, then edit /etc/inetd.conf to enable it.

Yes, there are two current releases in the works. 2.1.7 is targeted as an ultra-stable release for heavy load servers and mission-critical systems. When 2.1.7 finally gets done it should close the major security hole plaguing us at the moment. 2.2 incorporates some newer features and VM system enhancements at the price of potentially reduced stability. This will be the first -RELEASE for the 2.2 branch, so anything is possible. I'm running the GAMMA on my workstation and I haven't encountered any problems yet. -CURRENT is *the*most*current* stuff, fresh from the development tree. For developers only. This is pretty well laid out on http://www.freebsd.org, on the page that discusses the releases. (It may be under the newsflash.)

I thought I did cc the questions list. I must have forgot. Anyway, I adjusted the CLASSPATH variable so that it does not include the java_301 file. The CLASSPATH variable is now just .:/usr/local/lib/netscape/java_301. This did not seem to make any diference. I took another look at the README file.

If you want FreeBSD to be installable by other people that Your Average Wizard, don't choose vi. So therefore, 'ee' was chosen, because that editor keeps a handy menu with often used keystrokes.

You have to hack the Makefile and a few other files in the ports directory to get it to build, IIRC, but it's minor enough that I was able to do it, even though I don't know make syntax. 3.01 works appreciably better than 3.05b, too. > > -Jesse > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."

I seem to have this vague recollection of doing this before dropping the Linux boot stuff altogether. I think I'd modified some of the FreeBSD /etc/rc* file(s) to run 'disklabel' to put a new one down on a slice, then turn on swapping to the swap partition contained therein.

There is an oddity in UNIX tape device drivers called 'no rewind' devices. With a normal tape device, when you close the device after using it, i.e. for a tar, cpio, or dump, the tape is rewound. The no-rewind device leaves the tape where it is. This allows you to write a second, third, etc. backup file on the same tape, starting where the previous one left off. The mt command allows you to manipulate the tape in the drive in several ways, including skipping forward and backward over files. If, for instance, you want to restore a tarball on the third file on a tape, you could: $ mt rewind $ mt fsf 2 $ tar xvf /dev/nrst0 See man mt for more info. > (2) How do see what and how many backups are on a tape? or am I out of luck > unless I put a paper label on it.

My problem is: I export a filesystem /people to some PCs running PCNFS on our network. Users there typically have homedirectories which contain a directoy pub that is 1777 so that others can write there. However, if you don't pass a username to PCNFS you are logged in as nobody (uid -2) and can still write to the pub directories. As a result there are files created that have a very high uids: -rw-rw-r-- 1 4294967294 andre 1115 Feb 17 10:04 test This confuses quotacheck which runs endlessly (see also my PR 2325). A solution could be to prevent that uids that are unknown by the server are not allowed to write to the fs. Or, to prevent special uids to write the fs. I have checked the exports manpage but have no idea how this could be done.. Any help is greatly appreciated...

If you're having problems using ppp to connect to your isp let me know and i'll show you what worked for me, you may get an idea from that. if you are you need to know if your isp supports pap or chap, and whether you have a static ip address or dynamic ip addressing (more common i think).

Cheers =8-} Mike Mirror is a package written in Perl that uses the ftp protocol to duplicate a directory hierarchy between the machine it is run on and a remote host. It avoids copying files unnecessarily by comparing the file timestamps and sizes before transfering. Amongst other things can optionally compress, gzip, and split files. It was written for use by archive maintainers but can be used by anyone wanting to transfer a lot of files over ftp. INSTALLATION: You *may* need to change the values of $extra_path and $big_temp at the start of mirror.pl. This is very unlikely but possible. If your system limits the length of a file name a lot then also look for: LIMITED NAMELEN which is about 75% of the way thru mirror.pl. I only know of one site using this. IF INSTALLING MIRROR JUST FOR ARCHIVE MAINTENANCE: Normally pick a directory that you want to run mirror from. Unravel the tar image in that directory. Edit the mirror.defaults to reflect local settings. IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON MAKING MIRROR AVAILABLE AS A USER COMMAND: Install into a publically accessible lib area (for example /usr/local/lib/mirror) and add a symlink from a suitable bin area to the mirror.pl in the lib directory. It this is not possible given your local setup install all the .pl scripts into a lib area that will be scanned by perl and install the binary in a suitable bin. If h2ph has been run for your system then you should probably remove socket.ph and use the one *meant* for your machine. If h2ph has not been run then you should persuade your systems administrators to do so. The contents of socket.ph are operating system specific and it is possible that what works for me will not work for you. A special note for Solaris 2.x users. The socket.ph created by h2ph doesn't work. Install the socket.ph-solaris from this distribution instead. There seems to be a problem with older versions of perl that causes mirror to fail with the message 'fstype unix unknown'. If you experience this then please upgrade your perl. The latest perl can be found in src.doc.ic.ac.uk:gnu/perl-4.036.tar.gz (the exact version number may be different). AVAILABILITY: The latest version of mirror is available from: src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.2.1] directory: computing/archiving/mirror (shortcut packages/mirror) ftp.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.55.75] directory: pub/networking/mirror ftp.sun.ac.za [146.232.213.2] directory: pub/packages/mirror archive.orst.edu [128.193.4.2] directory: pub/mirrors/src.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/archiving/mirror (shortcut pub/packages/mirror) RELATED: Mirror is part of a family of related programs. The others are ftpmail and ftpcat. Ftpmail is a mail responder and ftpcat cats a remote file. These are to be found in src.doc.ic.ac.uk:packages/ftpmail/ and packages/ftpcat/. If you are interested in developing mirror (not just getting the latest releases but actually doing work) there is a mailing list mirror-people@doc.ic.ac.uk. Subscribe by emailing to mirror-people-request@doc.ic.ac.uk. But please do NOT do this unless you have the time to work on mirror. REMEMBER: Objects in a mirror are closer than you think!

However, the issue I'm certain applies to recent versions too. I want to roll my own kernel, and up to 2.1.5, the only type of ISA controller possible was isa?, as per the following example: controller isa0 - under which you hung 8/16 bit device descriptions for ISA-based devices such as the console, keyboard, co-pro, floppy driver, disk controller, etc. With the advent of 2.1.5, the eisa controller support expanded possibilities somewhat, and support for my AHA 1742 moved under the EISA controller code. So here's the question; can I specify only the eisa? controller and have it control devices formerly under the isa? controller, or do I need to have both in there as seperate bus controllers, with the isa controller code probing and handling the ISA bus stuff and the eisa probing and handling the EISA cards? eg: Two bus controllers controller isa0 device npx0 device sc0 controller fdc0 device fd0 device fd1 .... etc. .... etc. .... etc. .... etc. controller eisa0 controller ahb0 device cd0 device sd0 eg: one controller controller eisa0 device npx0 device sc0 controller ahb0 device cd0 device sd0 controller fdc0 device fd0 device fd1 .... etc. .... etc. .... etc. .... etc. Can you Reply rather than post as I am unforch only subscribed to hardware and SCSI - and let's face it, this is after all an embarrasingly dorkish Q..... ;^) Rob -- Witticisms are hard to define on Monday mornings... schofiel@xs4all.nl http://www.xs4all.nl/~schofiel rschof@mccomm.nl From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 18 07:31:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA10092 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Feb 1997 07:31:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.insolwwb.net (root@[206.31.149.200]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA10087 for ; Tue, 18 Feb 1997 07:31:17 -0800 (PST) From: mgrommet@insolwwb.net Received: from Flappy.insolwwb.net (workstation.insolwwb.net [206.31.149.3]) by ns.insolwwb.net (8.8.2/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA08975 for ; Tue, 18 Feb 1997 08:55:36 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199702181455.IAA08975@ns.insolwwb.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tue, 18 Feb 1997 09:33:38 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: ACK... need help with EtherLink 3c90x Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.52) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am attempting to install a system with freebsd 2.5 but the install does not recognize the 3com 3c90X family... is there a patch or something out there for these cards?

First. Is it possible to export directories like this: /tftpboot/rootfs/diskless -maproot=0:0 client1 /usr -ro client1 Both directories are within the same filesystem. The funny thing is when I change client1 on smth else in second line everything OK. (I mean OK with exports, not with what I wanted to do) The exports manual (at the bottom) recommends to put exported directories within one filesystem on adjacent lines, but I see no contradiction with this rule. Another question is pcnfsd and printing from PCs (sun nfs 5). I followed all recommendations in pcnfsd man, but PCs just refuses to mount printdevice. I succeded in mounting it when I've exported spool directory for each client. (/var/spool/mail/client1). But then nothing happend, when I print to captured device on PC it says OK and that's all. Then I put the following line in /etc/pcnfsd.conf printer bw - mail -s 'hi from pcnfsd' root < $FILE and after printing ascii text I got a mail containing a little pieces of original text file with some garbage in it. And by the way, is it necessary use 'mount -n', cause without -n I succesfully mounted exported directories on PC. Is it only useful for pcnfsd. And finally when I mount printer with lpd protocol and print to it lpd just dumps core (signal 11) and dies. -- Alexander P.

I'm running csh as root's shell, altho I even tried switching to /bin/sh and /usr/local/bin/tcsh Any ideas WHY its doing this, and how I can STOP IT? -Brandon From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 18 09:51:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA18092 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Feb 1997 09:51:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from cold.org (cold.org [206.81.134.103]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA18081 for ; Tue, 18 Feb 1997 09:51:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (brandon@localhost) by cold.org (8.8.5/8.8.3) with SMTP id KAA15248; Tue, 18 Feb 1997 10:51:13 -0700 (MST) Date: Tue, 18 Feb 1997 10:51:12 -0700 (MST) From: Brandon Gillespie To: Peter Korsten cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: root EDITOR as 'ee' in 2.2??

Yeah, so leave it with the _STANDARD_ 'vi' and change the sysinstall post configuration to 'setup root environment' rather than just set root's password, and allow the editor to be selected there.

I'd like to second this notion. I'm not going to defend vi, because it's certainly not the world's best editor, but there's a lot to be said for the default editor being the same on every system one might log into.

You must place the FreeBSD install files on a DOS primary partition, C:. You are probably attempting to put them on a extended partition, which the boot floppy can't handle automatically.

Wait for a new msdosfs driver. :( This is the danger sign -- if you continue, you could loose data. I highly suggest to not attempt to mount this volume until a new driver is available. Data corruption has been associated with this error. THe only way I know of to truly fix it is to backup your DOS partition, reformat it, and restore the data.

You could try it, but my guess would be no, that wouldn't work since base code from the ISA bus wouldn't carry over to the eisa case. ISA is a core part of the PC architecture and all sorts of goodies could be hidden in there.

Use the floppy image and save yourself a barrel of aspirin. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) 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 (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . You may want to copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

The command -c at during the Boot, allowed disabling of the device mse0 and enabling the device psm0. Exiting and saving with the funtion key "q" saved the kernel settings. However a new problem has presented itself. After enabling the xdm window manager using the editor (file /etc/ttys) with the command ttyv4 "/usr/XR11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure entering root and typing xdm -nodaemon The window opens with only the upper left corner of the window showing asking for the user id and password. After entering my user id and password, the window clears and another window appears with the computer name, line number, and cursor. The cursor doesn't blink, no keyboard entries are accepted nor any mouse movement, in words the keyboard goes dead. In order to exit the program the power must be shut down. There are only two conflicts listed in the kernel config file, both are in the Input section, the psm0 device, which says conflict allowed and the keyboard, the port addresses are very similar psm0 is 0x60-0x63 the keyboard 0x60-0x60f. Could this be the cause of the keyboard freezing and if it is what changes should I make? I am a novice so please be specific. How do you fix the X-Window System opening window so that it isn't cut off in the middle of the page?

If for some reason I screw up another upgade (like I did going from 2.2 -Beta --> 3.0 current) I want to restore the primary drive from 2.1.5R CDROM with a minimum installation and then take the most recent copy from the 2nd disk and umcompress it on top of the minimal install on the 1st drive. Am I crazy (or stupid) for attempting this? Has anybody done something similar to this?

You set up your ip address in /etc/sysconfig, in the if_* lines. Sysconfig would set this up for you if you did a network install. I don't understand what you mean by "ip address of your users". Your machine has an IP address assigned by your network administrator. You may have multiple IPs depending on your setup.

To answer you questions: 1. Edit /etc/XF86Config and change the pointer protocol to "PS/2" and the mouse device to "/dev/psm0". 2. The cursor does not blink anyway. It should be a filled-in block though when the mouse pointer is in the target window. You have to have the mouse in the window you want to type into. 3. Xwindows is set up with a virtual desktop by default that extends past the physical borders of your screen. To fix this, edit /etc/sysconfig, scroll down to the Screen "accel" section, and under the 8 bit depth section, adjust the 'Virtual' item to be the same as the resolution you would like. (hint: you can change the screen resolution by typing control-alt-plus & minus.) Place this resolution as the first one in the Modes list. Restart the X server and you should be in business. Hope this helps.

OK, I understand now. We made sure you disabled routed & gated, right? You might be able to solve this with creative netmasking. There is a section in the Handbook that deals with dialup, you might read it. I also have a section that I sgml-ized at http://resnet.uoregon.edu/ppp/ that may be of interest.

Make sure you are running 'su -m' instead of just 'su'. This way, your environment is preserved across the su. This was set up in the system default .cshrc as an alias on my machine.

If you have never done this before, find some poor unsuspecting workstation to inflict. :) The experience will do you good. But, if that isn't possible, here is my handy-dandy upgrade instructions I've been posting for several months. Oh, and backup your kernel config file just in case. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.1.x: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!! 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 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. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted during the upgrade process. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

DOS format formats the disk for DOS, loosing several KB of space. Even if there was enough space on the disk, just DOS copying it would not do any good because you have to create a boot image. Rawrite boot.flp a: should do it under DOS. This will erase any old formatting and rewrite it with the boot image.

Only code that explicityly has the GPL attached to it is covered by the GPL. GNU libraries are typically covered by the GLPL, which was written for libraries. The one exception in all of this is that every program written with GCC (on UNIX at least) contains routines from libgcc1 (and perhaps libgcc2). For this reason, the source code to libgcc1 explicitly extends the GLPL in the following manner: % In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the % Free Software Foundation gives you unlimited permission to link the % compiled version of this file with other programs, and to distribute % those programs without any restriction coming from the use of this % file.

You can give netscape command-line arguments of the form "-g WxH", so to get a 640-by-480 netscape, you'd run: netscape -g 640x480 Depending on the window manager, there's probably a way to change the window size even after netscape's already running. In fvwm, for example, you can click on a corner of the netscape window and drag it out to the size you want. > Thanks. > > Fran > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."

Cook) Subject: Xwindows on ThinkPad365XD Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey Guys/Gals; I purchased FreeBSD from Walnut on CD ROM. I have a ThinkPad 365XD, P133, 1.3 Gig Drive, CD ROM and so on. I wiped the drive, used PQ Magic to make four partitions: DOS6.22/Win3.1, OS/2, Windoze95 and BSD Unix. The BSD installation went without a hitch. (There was a problem, but it was with "System Commander, not BSD". I am a Rabid Unix fan, via the Amiga. (dead? I don't THINK so...). Anyway, the first thing I had to do was get the mouse (PS/2) going. I read the FAQ and just followed the instructions. The one thing I was a bit apprehensive about was whether or not the monster would compile without a hitch. It DID! So now the mouse works OK. Where I am having difficulties is trying to get Xwindows to work CORRECTLY. That is to say, I have run xf86config sixty zillion times, trying just about every combination I can think of. For example, I have tried ALL the video drivers. The "mono vga", Super VGA, with various resolutions and so on. I was finally able to "get it up", but the O/S keeps setting the resolution to 1260X890 (or some other non supported mode). SuperProbe tells me the following; First Video: Super VGA Chipset: Trident LCD 9320 Memory: 1024 Kbytes RAMDAC: Sierra SC 1148{2,3,4} 15=bit or SC1148{5,7,9} 15/16 bit. Hi Color (with 6 bit wide lookup tables or in 6 bit mode. This machine supports up to 256 colours, and 640X480 and 800X600 on the LCD screen. In a lot of cases, after I have made the choices in xconfig, I "startx" and it gives me a "no valid modes found, setting resolution to (some ungawdly setting) This setting, (I am pretty sure) is what causes the double overlapping of the screen. It is highly pixellated, and when you move the mouse about, the background dutifully scrolls across..It sort of looks like it is running the gawd awfull setting in a 640X480 window. A couple of things. The shit house manual IBM sends with the machine is virtually useless. It does not tell me what the horizontal sync rate is, so I have to guess when I run xfconfig. Another thing that really puzzles me is that I have enabled screen blanking with the "stars" thingy. It works fine. BUT IT TWINKLES IN LOVELY COLOURS! How come BSD has no problem with the colours with the "twinkling stars", (when Xwindows is not running....) but cannot use (presumably) the same video drivers when running Xwindows? (I would guess that when BSD is running in the CLI mode, it is using some other driver, ie, the one it boots up with...if I found that, could I somehow make Xwindows use it?) OH yeah. I checked to the manual, the FAQ and the "monitors" files in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc directory. While there ARE comments about the trident chip set, there doesn't seem to be anything about this particular set, and the fact they are used in this laptop. I also read the "README. trident" file, and followed the instructions there about using the TV9000 chipset and so on. I have chosen the appropriate drivers when asked to do so, but..... I hope you can help me here, as I have tried as much as I can with my limited knowledge. As an amiga person, I know a bit about the command line. "Alias", "head", "tail" "cp" "mv" and so on. Many of these commands were ported to AMI, and I prefer to work in the CLI most of the time. However, I DO get lazy, and I use the GUI too. (What I REALLY want to do here is show UNIX running XWindows, and tell the local WINDOZE yokels to blow it out their ears....) Since I have no Amiga now, (I sold it to an Airline pilot....I travel for a living, and I could not continue to carry it around. Sooner or later it, would have been damaged. I have owned Amigas ever since they came out in '85. A 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000. ) I really get sick of listening to these ignorant turkeys crowing about the "SOOPER DOOPER AUDIO VISIUAL EFFECTS AND "TRUE MULTITASKING" etc. It makes me want to tear out my hair. I have yet to purchase the BSD system managers' guide, but I promise, I will. (If you tell me it deals with how to specifically "set up" the drivers in question, just say so and I will wait until I have the book.) One final comment: Is anyone down there using Maple V running under BSD? I purchased a copy for my MacSE30, and it worked great. It's just a bit of a pain using the CLI input. Have they fixed that? I look forward to reading from you. Stan E. Cook. BMath, University of Waterloo. (1981) .............JEEZZ.....I SHOULDA STAYED IN SKOOL!...

I have a Toshiba (ATAPI-IDE) CD-ROM on my Secondary IDE as master. The Sony (which I'm told is compatible to Toshiba) won't auto-reckonize my CD-ROM. When I change it to port 0x170 (the port my driver tells me it's on) it conflicts with the secondary cd-rom driver. The WCD driver is not present in this installation, even though it's made reference to in the READMEs, this would be the driver that is probaly most compatible, yet it's not in the installation options. 2) When I copy the files to C:\freebsd\* it won't reckonize them. I don't know if the mount isn't working or what but I copied everything in windows, so I don't know if the win file system is screwing things up. 3) I can't install by FTP, it won't reckonize my modem. I'm pretty sure my modem will work outside of the windows enviornment (it's plug and play, but it's also on com2). Any help would be appriciated. If I can't get this working I'm afraid I'll have to run linux on this machine. Thanks, Bill Fumerola (hack@irc.igateway.net) IGateway.Net IRC Operator.

The effects are mostly as described by you Shawn, but I've got one more problem. At system startup it says "checking quotas:" and hangs after a while. When I press the startup continues, the remaining services start and quotas work as you describe (say "none", but limit space). It only happens when I enable quota for the /usr filesystem (689999 kB, 451731 kB, 71% used). With the / (31775, 21463, 73%) and /var (29727, 2099, 8%) enabled and the /usr quotas disabled the system starts without problems. Have you seen such problem? What can it be caused by?

I do not know, and only have quotas enabled on / , because if I try to enable them on ANY other directory, it won't work. I suspect this has something to do with the fact / is the only filesystem, no? I didnt create a /usr /var, etc. This system has a small HD(545MB), and is only a light shell/WWW/DNS server.

I'm quite sure the cards I had problems with were using CL chipsets. I know becuase now whenever I shop for graphics addapters I always open the box and check them for CL chips, no matter what the card brand. If Diamond cards are using s3, that certainly wouldn't be a problem. I like s3's as well. One peice missing is that my bad experiences with Diamond were in the VL-Bus days.

They started off with ET4000, then did some S3 and CL chipset video cards, before coming out with a PCI card. The Diamond Stealths are mostly S3, the Diamond Spider is CL. Oh, and now they've got a card or two based on the ARK chipsets. All my PCI video cards (1 (Trio64, 2 868's, and one Virge/SGRAM) are Diamond, though that's coincidence, I'm more loyal to S3 than Diamond.

Either use one of your virtual terminals (hit alt-f1) or edit /etc/syslog.conf. The advantage of always using vty1 is that you can use scrollback (scroll-lock & up arrow) to see the past console messages without logging in and looking at /var/log/messages.

I'm not quite sure how to discourage them, but installing a packet forwarder of any sort certainly won't get them to stop using http://recruiter.on.ca instead of http://www.recruiter.on.ca. I'd recommend keeping Apache on recruiter and using a redirect in a conf. file or .htaccess file to redirect http clients away from recruiter. Most clients don't even notify the user when this happens--they just change the URL and try again. I'll send you a .htaccess file I use to do this.

The normal way is to defragment your disk and use the FIPS utility to split off the free space into a new partition, then remove it and install FreeBSD in the space. Or, install a new hard disk and install the Booteasy utility to the first disk. Booteasy gives you a menu to pick which OS you want to start on bootup. This is explained in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html, or the INSTALL.TXT file in the release directory.

For tar, you would want to name a file on the /usr2 filesystem, i.e. tar cvzf /usr2/backup.tar.gz / /var /usr Note that the filesystem support will reduce the amount of storage you can use on your second disk. > 2. If not, then do I need to un-mount wd2 and then give the above tar > command? Yup. If you want to use the disk like it is a tape drive, don't mount it. You don't even need to put a partition table on it if it's going to hold nothing but your backup. > 3. How would I restore the first drive if, I accidently 'toasted' it? It should be possible to boot from a floppy, restore the partitions to their original state, and just restore the backup. You'd probably be better off using dump/restore if you want to have this ability. Dump has the ability to dump a filesystem such that you can restore the filesystem to its original state, not just re-write the files. > 4. Using the above tar command can I store more than 1 'generation' on > the 2nd drive, space permitting? I know I'll have t give each copy a > different name to do this, but will it work? You'd have to partition the disk in chunks and write the backups to the various partitions. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Try setting this port to polled mode by removing the irq item and/or using lptcontrol. The port is generating interrupts, which forces the system to stop whatever it's doing and send data out. Polled mode lets the system queue things up and works better for the scheduler.

Then perhaps it's not getting the IP -- a intervening machine is stomping on the tcp_extensions perhaps? Or the data returned from the nameserver is invalid?

If you want rectangular cut-and-paste, and an X/Motif editor is acceptable, you should try nedit. It's in ports and packages statically linked with the Motif lib. In nedit-4.0.3, you can actually see the selected rectangular region of text as it is dragged (you can cut and paste too). I thought emacs has rectangular cut and paste too... If you want to try nedit, I can send you an X resource file that will give it better colors/fonts/etc than the default resources.

The media I have is hard-formatted to 1K/sector. Getting past the disklabel issues with some really gross hacks (ln /dev/od0 /dev/opti0c; ln /dev/rod0 /dev/ropti0c allows the kluge in newfs to select the "c" partition -- if I use the "real" /dev/rod0c device I land back in disklabel hell) I was able to newfs a fs on the device, of about the correct size, which both fsck and fsdb like. However, when I mount the thing on /vertex, and "cd /vertex", I get "EBADF". "cat /vertex" panics with a "bad type" in the ufs somewhere (ufs_readdir, I think it was). A bit of poking about indicates that the user level wtfs() and friends adjust the "disk block number" which `fsbtodb()' returns by multiplying it by the sector size (1K in my case), thus turning everything into the correct byte address. Sadly, the kernel level routines which take over once the FS is mounted do not adjust, and `fsbtodb()' is in sectors. This value is thus half as big as it should be. Since fstodb() uses the sblock, I cannot patch it, either statically or dynamically, or I will be sunc. The od driver expects the blkno to be in units of DEV_BSIZE, and divides again by 2, to populate the SCSI cmd to the device, thinking it is converting into device specific block offsets, when in this case, it should not have. Since the od driver cannot distinguish between a correcty filled buf struct (from newfs, dd, etc) and the kernel UFS routines, it cannot adjust, and the inode which is read in for the root inode of the FS contains crap. At least, that is how it looks to me today. This is my first in-depth look into FreeBSD, so I make be making too many incorrect assumptions... Anyway, it appears to me that there is not really any support for filesystems on media with anything other than 512 bytes / sector. (Ignoring the cd, here, which is another kettle of fish). There is some "tahoe" stuff kicking about, but it seems that the tahoe approach was to define DEV_BSIZE to be something greater than 512 bytes, and the device sector size handling code in, for example, /usr/src/sbin/newfs/*.c deals only with the case that DEV_BSIZE / sectorsize > 0 otherwise, all those divide by zeros get nasty. OK, so my question is (are): who is using the optical stuff, and in what manner? Of those who are actually using it, for SCSI devices which identify themselves as T_DIRECT rather than T_OPTICAL, what changes were made to get it to work? (The non-NEW_SCSI_CONFIG approach doesn't permit type override, which is required) What is your disklabel story? I suspect part of my disklabel woes may have been due to the 1K sector stuff, since there are many places (fdisk, for example) where there doesn't appear to be a consistent story w.r.t. different sector sizes. Are there any plans for support for different sector-size media in the future? disclaimer: Sure, I could have just gone out and bought some 512K media and been quite happy with the "sd" device support, but I would not have finally been driven to delve into FreeBSD... gripe: "od0" doesn't show up in the /stand/sysinstall menus for labeling and partitioning. -- Damon Permezel dap@damon.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 19 22:59:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA22969 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Feb 1997 22:59:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from tu.kielce.pl (andrzej@eden.tu.kielce.pl [193.59.4.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA22960 for ; Wed, 19 Feb 1997 22:59:21 -0800 (PST) Received: (from andrzej@localhost) by tu.kielce.pl (8.7.5/8.7.3/ts-ugUA.960515) id HAA05810 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 20 Feb 1997 07:57:28 +0100 (MET) From: Andrzej Szydlo Message-Id: <199702200657.HAA05810@tu.kielce.pl> Subject: Re: Adaptec 2940AU SCSI Adaptor - Warm Boot Problems ?

It only happens when I enable quota for the /usr filesystem (689999 kB, 451731 kB, 71% used). With the / (31775, 21463, 73%) and /var (29727, 2099, 8%) enabled and the /usr quotas disabled the system starts without problems. Have you seen such problem? What can it be caused by?

Yes. The parallel version isn't supported by default, I think there's a driver you can pick up somewhere, though -- search the mailing list for the URL if you want to. But the SCSI version is faster anyway, and it's supported as a SCSI disk like any other. FreeBSD's SCSI support is in general excellent, from what I've heard and what I've experienced first-hand. > Thanks, > > Greg Laslett. greg@abseil.com.au > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."

Naturally,we are having problems. We have a Pentium 100MHz 16MB RAM 1.0GB hdd.We have partitioned the hdd into two,one 400MB chunk for DOS and the other(600 MB) for FreeBSD. The FreeBSD partition we have further partitioned (for the system files) thus,using the disk label editor : / 33MB swap 44MB /usr 339MB /var 200MB(approx) We successfully installed the FreeBSD kernel (or atleast think so).Then , we tried running sysinstall to install the other packages(eg. xemacs,xxgdb etc.) which are on the CD. The steps we followed to this are : 1.choose post-configure system after FreeBSD installation 2.in the next menu,choose packages. 3.in this menu choose all available packages 4.in this menu,some ( very few) packages(such as zip,unzip,zoo) are already chosen.We tried choosing all,but the installation failed(*) for all except ones that were already chosen. *The error message asked us to look into a file called sysinstall.debug.The messages we found there were something like : DEBUG : package check on gopher 2.1.3 returns failure Questions: 1.What do we do? 2.Is there any test for us to know that the kernel is running ok?

Same problem. I'm now wondering if its possible to get my FreeBSD box (I'll rebuild GCC if I have to) to make binaries that would be compatable with QNX, so I could do the builds, then move the libraries and executables over (or just link static and be done with it).

The only filesystem you should need to implement quotas on, is /home, or any other filesystem where you put your user directories.

I decided to try to get it to run both Windows 95 and FreeBSD, so I could use it as a backup for my Pentium system which runs both OSes. My first problem came when I needed to put in an IDE controller with an enhanced disk BIOS, as the BIOS on the motherboard did not work with disks with more than 1023 cylinders. It turned out that FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE, which is what I am running on my Pentium, will not boot if I have the card with the enhanced disk BIOS in the System. Someone posted a response saying that it would work with 2.1.5. I tried it, and it did. My next problem was that the neither the 2.1.5 nor the 2.1.6 install floppies would recognize my IDE CED-ROM drive, so I would not be able to install from CD. However, the Feburary 5th gamma of 2.2 does recognize my CD-ROM drive, so I thought all was OK, as I would just wait for 2.2. I then bought a Diamond Speedstar 64 ISA graphics board with 1MB memory, as the board it came with only did 640x480 16 colors. Now I seem to have a new problem. Although 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 boot up OK with this graphics board, the 2.2-GAMMA install floppy does not. After it decompresses the kernel and goes to execute it, the screen displays complete garbage. I don't think there is anything wrong with the graphics card, as Windows 95 seems to display OK in all the supported resolutions and number of color options which are supposed to work with a 1MG graphics card. My Pentium system, however, which also has a Cirrus S3 based accelerated graphics card with 1MB memory boots from the 2.2-GAMMA install floppy just fine. Any ideas? -- William A.

Date: Thu, 20 Feb 1997 10:54:08 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, there: I have a process which executes different user programs depending on the given parameters. Right now I am using system() to start those user programs. I am thinking about replaing system() with fork() and exec() (or its variants.), so it would be more fast and efficient. And I'd like to keep MY process running all the time. What's the general way to do this? Where to call exec(), in my parent process or the child one? Could I just fork a child, call exec(), and then exits, while the parent process is still running, or, I could let the child does all this stuff, and let parent process dies? There are six different exec() functions. Which one is best to use in this case?

While I'm a long way from using BSD to dial up my local ISP (don't have the money for the "Complete FreeBsd" and don't have unlimited time to figure out how to configure a unix box--coming from MSDOS and Windows), I would like to get the "XKeysymDB" and "Xapplresdir files" in the right place, and the XNLSPATH correct (so I don't get the key error messages when I start up Netscape). Where in FreeBSD do I put the pointers and path statements? I've added the following lines to .xsessions in the root directory and to XResources; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 XNLSPATH=/usr/share/nls/ The files are in the places that the Netscape README says to put them; the paths are typed just as the README says to do (e.g. forward slash after "nls"). Obviously, I've put these statements in the wrong place. Where do they go? It might help to know I start up X from root with xdm, use the XF86_S3 server, and once I've got the server running, use the xterm to start Netscape. Thanks for your time. FreeBSD is fascinating.

Would you please tell me how can I fix this problem? log into your account from another account (or type Alt-Ctrl-F2 to use a virtual console) and check your .xsession-errors file for messages. My guess is that you are: 1) missing an .xsession file with commands for xdm to use 2) the .xsession file is not executable 3) the commands in the .xsession script are all specified to be run in the background and this completion of the .xsession script causes xdm to go back to the login screen. 4) some other serious like incorrect PATH to a command in the .xsession file --mark.

See section 10.5 Storage Devices 10.5.9 Tapes and backups 10.5.9.5 Emergency Restore Procedure This section even includes a script for creating and populating the diskette.

Any help, as always, is appreciated. If you have alot of time yes. It involves rebuilding the library sources i.e. system call is different in QNX. anyway to be efficent in QNX you have to use their SEND-RECEIVE-REPLY protocol.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi guys. I have a friend who's trying to install FreeBSD to the Master IDE hard-drive on the Secondary controller. The install sees the harddrive just fine, and copies all the CDROM files to the drive - but after everything is done, there's no way to boot freebsd, since the install only touched the 2'nd disk (1st=win95,2nd=CDROM,3rd=freebsd). There's no tips in the FAQ or handbook for installing on a drive other than the 1st BIOS disk... just curious how I should place the boot manager in the first drive so I can boot to freeBSD (without nuking win95). Also, is there a way to use the boot floppy to boot from any drive? On my system, I was able to boot from the floppy, and type: 1:sd(0,a)kernel and it booted fine.. just doesn't seem to work with his wd drive though. I tried several combinations, and all I get is nothing, or an error. Bummer. I've tried installing both the Boot Easy and Standard bootmanagers to the second drive. Just can't get it to boot!!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Thank you for the tip concerning recompiling. However I'm still having problems. For a fleeting moment I was able to get both the display manager and the windows manager to work. The mouse worked fine with the window manager, for instance changing the size of the window and moving it on the screen. However in order to log off I needed to cold boot the system(control-alt-delete did not allow me to reboot). The command I used to enable the display manager was to start the display manager during the boot edit /etc/ttys ttys "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm" xterm on secure I intentionally left out the -nodaemon command. I tried duplicating the above command, and making sure the changes were read with kill -1 1 Each time the display manager allows login though will not allow input in the frameless xterm window. The cursor isn't filled in. Both the startx and xinit commands put two windows on the screen, a frameless xterm window and a framed xterm window. The framed window occupies about 1/5 of the right side of my 14" monitor. The remainder is the frameless window. Keyboard input into the framed window is possible, though the pointer/mouse does doesn't appear. The framed window responds to the command exit. What I would like is to enable the mouse it is much more convenient then having to learn 30-40 different commands just to position the window. I have checked the kernel config file and the xfree86 config file both confirm the ps/2 mouse "/dev/psm0". The kernel config file lists a conflict, yet states conflict allowed, the conflict is with syscons console driver (psm0 is at port 0x60-63, scd0 is at port 0x60-0x6f). However since both the mouse and keyboard were functional I doubt if the problem is a result of the conflict. Rather it is probably my ignorance of the proper commands to start xfree86. Any hints on how to enable the mouse? Oh yeah and I also tried redirecting the output to a file using the command startx 2>&1 > /tmp/startx.log with the result of opening the framed and frameless windows, still no mouse. I give up anybody got any cheese?

Would you please tell me how can I fix this problem? > Thanks you very much! Most likely something blew chunks in one of your login files, causing the login to fail. This is especially likely if you have a .xsession file in your home directory and it isn't executable. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a text console, login there, and look at the .xsession-errors file in your home directory. It will tell you what failed (in a somewhat cryptic manner). If you want a good starting point, you can try my .xsession and .ctwmrc files. You'll need to install ctwm from the packages on the CD-ROM or ftp server. I'll put them on my ftp server: ftp.xmission.com:/pub/users/s/softweyr These two files are, of course, highly customized for my use, but will give you a general idea of how to setup your X workspace. A couple of notes: o All of the window manager settings are aimed at a 1024x768 display. You should see a round clock in the upper right hand corner, and a bar with four colored buttons labelled Main, Edit, Root, and Surf in the lower right corner. These buttons switch you between the four workspaces I have configured, it's kind of like getting four virtual workstations in one. See man ctwm for more details. o Pressing MB1 on the screen background gives you a general menu. Pressing MB1 on a window border allows you to move the window. To resize a window, click on the widget in the upper right of the window border and drag to a side; you will now be able to resize that side (or corner). o Alt-F1 through Alt-F4 will switch you between the different workspaces. If you want to return to one of the text consoles, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F3. From a text console, Alt-F4 will take you back to X. Enjoy. I hope you find these helpful. You find out *very* quickly that I tend towards saturated purples and blues in my color choices, but feel free to "fix" them if you must. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

A serial mouse doesn't need anything special, serial port drivers are compiled in by default. I'm using a three-button serial mouse and it has never given me trouble. I wasn't able to get a PS/2 mouse working with X, by the way, though your mileage may vary. If you've got the spare serial port, save yourself the trouble and use a serial mouse, is my advice. > Thanks loads for your response. > > Joe Schwartz > > ------------------------------------- > Please reply to: > > rjoe@sterinfo.com You should really use a reply-to header for this sort of thing, if your mailer can do it.

Unless you explicitly disabled it when configuring XFree86, you can press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the Xserver.

You should also be able to move the mouse and see the cursor move; if not, your mouse is not yet configured correctly. If you can see the login screen and move the mouse cursor, the next step is to setup your account correctly. Try creating a .xsession file in your home directory containing the following.

If it doesn't work, email back and I'll tell you how to debug it, or see the message I wrote about this subject 20 minutes ago in freebsd-questions. ;^) For more information on how to use the window manager you see, put the mouse cursor in the xterm and type 'man twm'. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The application is written in c and uses tcl and tk. Users connect through our campus network. The gateway program gives access to our local library, other state libraries, selected libraries in other states, and provides other services via the internet. Telnet and tn3270 are used extensively. Here is the problem: At something over 120 ptys in use users start getting a message saying there are no more ptys available. I have not seen this message personally because the number of ptys in use at any one time varies widely. By the time an event is reported to me the situation has changed. Ie: it comes and goes. Here is what I know: The manual that came with my cdrom says that 64 is the upper limit on ptys. I have seen over 120 ptys in use at one time on my machine but never more than about 122. I have 192 ptys defined in the configuration file. There are 192 ptys defined in /dev. Here is what I suspect: Could the limit really be 128 ptys? Here is what I need: More ptys. Is there anything in freeBSD I can tweak to get at least 192 or preferably 256 ptys. More info: This application was ported over from a DEC Alpha box. With 35 to 40 users and approximately 275 processes top says the processor is about 75% idle. At about 250 processes noticable swapping take place although response time is excellent. (sub 1 sec) If I can't get over this pty problem I will have to find another platform and I REALLY don't want to do that. Please help me find more ptys. hal --------------1CFBAE3959E2B60015FB7483-- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 20 23:52:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA12033 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 20 Feb 1997 23:52:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from geocities.com ([204.7.246.133]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA12028 for ; Thu, 20 Feb 1997 23:52:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from tofrke.earthlink.net (Cust116.Max30.Seattle.WA.MS.UU.NET [153.34.117.116]) by geocities.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA29796 for ; Thu, 20 Feb 1997 23:46:20 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <330D540D.5449@geocities.com> Date: Thu, 20 Feb 1997 23:51:42 -0800 From: Tom Kerrigan Reply-To: stephaniet@geocities.com X-Sender: Tom Kerrigan (Unverified) X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0b1 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: freebsd X-Priority: Normal Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----------C4C33AC60320" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ------------C4C33AC60320 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi I am very new to the unix type systems, and I am having difficulty identifying the files needed to put together the freebsd os if you could send me a list that would get me going on freebsd with x86 and internet conectivity thru my own ISP I would appreciate it very much. thank you ------------C4C33AC60320 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii

But I have a couple of questions, which I hope that you guys can answer .. I am going to download the installation files via FTP, and then install the system from an ms-dos partition - but I am unsure of which directory I should download, because I noticed that if I download the entire 2.1.17-RELEASE directory I would get the same files several times? So which dirs should I download for a complete installation from an ms-dos based partition? And the latest version is 2.1.17, right? I am not interested in beta-code. I have some experience with Linux (mostly slackware distributions), so I hope that the step to FreeBSD isn't that big - and the FreeBSD distribution comes with complete XFree86, right? I know that I could probably find answers for most of these questions in the several readme-files, but unfortunetaly I don't really have the time here at work. So ..

(I guess this is RAID-5) and would like our FreeBSD-box to host it. At the moment we still use 2.1.5 here. My questions are: Does any of the later versions (2.2?) of FreeBSD support RAID-COntrollers like the Adaptec 3985? If so, can we build a RAID5 system based on that controller and FreeBSD? I悲 like FreeBSD to see just a huge disk of some 20 GB and have the controller do the rest incl. error checking and signalling. Does anybody have experience with a setup like that (or has or does know about any other *working* configuration)?

I don't know about kernel support, but the IP Filter package (which may be shipped with the system in future releases, judging from the commits) is capable of NAT functionality. You can install it as a port or package on currently available versions of FreeBSD. I'm not familiar with IPFilter's innards, so you'll have to ask the list for technical details.

There is a SMP project at http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/ that you may want to look into. I'm told that they have a rather stable kernel now. To fix your memory problem, recompile your kernel with 'options MAXMEM=262144' to get your memory recognized.

I figured others, especially ISPs, must be running like this, so here's the deal. 1. Building ports/apache, requesting SSL extensions: cd /usr/ports/www/apache/ make -k -DSECURE_SERVER ===> apache_SSL-1.1.1 is marked as broken: SSLeay has changed, and the patches for apache need more work. I could take a whack at patching it up, but I have to admit to not having played with SSL before now. The next problem seems to be more of an impediment to me. 2. Building port/SSLeay: pkg/DESCR says: As this is a FreeBSD port, it has been tailored to FreeBSD. It uses the DES, MD2 and MD5 from FreeBSD 2.2+. Earlier versions of freebsd have a DES library that is missing bits, and SSLeay will not compile properly.

The docs should be laying around on the top level of the 2.1.7 tree, at ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7-RELEASE. Floppy install is nasty, unless Jordan fixed it :) The big key is put bin.inf on the first disk, and the .inf file for the next distribution (in order listed in the menus) on the last floppy of the previous distribution.

I would highly, highly recommend going SCSI if you are looking for maximum device compatibility. You'll get a little performance boost along the way. The trick is getting win95 on this machine -- it took us some wrangling to get it on a SCSI box I spec'd for a friend last year. That box is running very nicely now, and the SCSI flexibility has been a real bonus. How about this: ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard, ASUS SC-200 controller (NCR 53c810), SCSI CDROM & hard disks of your choice (Fujitsu disks have served me quite well). Pick whatever you want for CPU (that's supported on the board). For video, sort of your choice, but the Number Nine Motion 771 (S3 968 based) or ATI Graphics Ultra Pro (mach64 VRAM) would make for a great video subsystem and good X compatiblity. Hope this helps. Everyone will have their own opinion, and to be frank, this system doesn't look too far ahead into the future, but for now it should be a very nice system.

FreeBSD is a UNIX-style operating system for PCs and compatibles. Our web page at http://www.freebsd.org/ may answer your questions.

You never need to low-level format a SCSI drive because of another controller. Almost the only reason that might you considering a low-level formatting is too many bad blocks (in order to restructure the drive). . You can always use /sbin/scsiformat to low-level format a drive, no need for stinkin' BIOS functions. :) . The worst that could happen is that you gotta revamp your fdisk table on the drive (if you're using one). However, i think the NCR BIOS does a good job in detecting the previously used geometry, and adapting its own geometry translation values to it. . Even in this case, you could get away without any restructuring in two cases: you've been using ``dangerously dedicated'' mode, or you are willing to fiddle with the C/H/S values in your fdisk table. For the latter, you basically gotta pick the offset and total number of sectors of your fdisk slice, and recalculate the beginning C/H/S values according to the geometry translation method of you controller. This will usually leave you with `odd' figures (the slice seems to start ``inmidst a track''), but i know that it works. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 21 10:59:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA13275 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 10:59:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from lincc.lincc.lib.or.us (lincc.lincc.lib.or.us [198.107.142.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA13269 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 10:59:24 -0800 (PST) Received: (from george@localhost) by lincc.lincc.lib.or.us (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA00570; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 10:59:12 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 10:59:12 -0800 (PST) From: George Yobst To: questions@freebsd.org cc: George Yobst Subject: 2.1.5 Boot stops after fsck Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I'm running 2.1.5, and went to reboot the main server via: sync; shutdown -r now It rebooted, found all the correct devices, got to fsck, and all 4 partitions came up clean, but then decided not to proceed and stopped with a '#' prompt and all partitions mounted. I then rebooted into single user mode (-s), and did: fsck -p mount -a -t ufs No problems, everything clean. I rebooted again, this time wd(0,a)/kernel and it stopped at the same point. A ^D (exit) will make it continue to multiuser mode where it stands now. No errors in the log files, and no help that I could find searching the docs locally or via Web.

Any help getting this to boot completely would be appreciated! - George ======================================================================== George Yobst, System Manager email: george@lincc.lib.or.us LINCC phone: 503-655-8550 16239 SE McLoughlin Blvd, Suite 208 fax: 503-655-8555 Oak Grove, OR 97267-4654 webmaster: [www.]lincc.lib.or.us "...it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows." - Epictetus From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 21 11:06:58 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA13790 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 11:06:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from sujal.prognet.com (sujal.prognet.com [204.255.154.231]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA13783 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 11:06:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (smpatel@localhost) by sujal.prognet.com (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id LAA03839 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 11:07:05 -0800 (PST) X-Authentication-Warning: sujal.prognet.com: smpatel owned process doing -bs X-Received: from ns2.harborcom.net (root@ns2.harborcom.net [206.158.4.4]) by sujal.prognet.com (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id VAA01095 for ; Thu, 20 Feb 1997 21:45:02 -0800 (PST) X-Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.18]) by ns2.harborcom.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id AAA24444 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 00:44:48 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from tao.gnj.or.jp (tao.inJapan.net [203.183.184.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id VAA05447 for ; Thu, 20 Feb 1997 21:44:42 -0800 (PST) X-Received: from 203.183.184.5 (pb.inJapan.net [203.183.184.5]) by tao.gnj.or.jp (8.6.11/3.4Wbeta6-primary) with SMTP id OAA26655 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 14:45:38 +0900 Message-ID: <330DB53D.1A8E@inJapan.net> Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 14:46:34 +0000 From: Doug Lerner Reply-To: doug@inJapan.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: smpatel@freebsd.org Subject: jdk-1.0.2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ReSent-Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 11:07:01 -0800 (PST) ReSent-From: Sujal Patel ReSent-To: questions@freebsd.org ReSent-Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I was trying to get the jdk-1.0.2, but the file seems to be missing from the FTP server.

On the 2.2-GAMMA release notes, I don't see any of this mentioned. Did parts of 2.2-current not make the 2.2 release ? I tried to search the announce mailing list archive but "2.2" for a query generates no output ("2.2-BETA" generated output but a lot of the high scoring matches didn't even contain the string "2.2" - I've never understood the mailing list search engine). Also, is there doc anywhere that describes what new features are planned for development on the -current branch for the next release (i.e what new features are planned for 3.0) ?

I think if you want to run the appletviewer or other Java applications on your X Windows display using Sun's JDK, your display must NOT be in 16-bit mode. 8-bit or 24-bit mode should work fine.

I know it has a MAJOR security bug, but it's a stand-alone PC. Right now I'm just trying to learn some of the basics of FreeBSD. Which brings me to my question. I copied the GENERIC options file to a file called CONCOURSE. I modified CONCOURSE to exclude many of the devices I do not have, as well as include the PS/2 mouse. However, when I do the 'make' after several minutes of compiling I get several "Undefined symbol errors". The exact message is as follows: cd.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_scsi_cmd` referenced fro text segment cd.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_start_unit` referenced fro text segment cd.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_stop_unit` referenced fro text segment cd.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_prevent` referenced fro text segment ... Several other Undefined symbols have '_scsi' prefixes. I have no SCSI devices and I thought I commented out all the SCSI options in my kernel config file. Any thoughts on what I've screwed up will be appreciated. TIA for your comments!

I use the following: server first_nearby_stratum2_server server second_nearby_stratum2_server server third_nearby_stratum2_server fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 4 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift ie. I run at stratum 3 using upto three level 2 servers If I can't talk to any (ie link to internet broken) I use my local clock at level 4. This will keep all the machines I serve in sync, if not accurate. Use a driftfile to allow xntpd to resync quickly after reboots. If all/the majority of machines on a single subnet will sync to this machine you may want to add a broadcast line.

(With the 2.1.7 release). Couldn't get it to work at all when I created the boot disk on a machine win win95 it failed, even when booting straight into dos mode. Finally woke up to myself and did it on a FreeBSD box as follows: dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/fd0 If you don't have access to a unix box then try on a machine with dos machine. Alsomy machine didn't hang when running rawrite, it appeared to work just fine, but when i tried to boot the diskette it just sat there waiting. BTW: you wan't F8 not F5 to go to dos mode with win95. F5 puts you into "safe" mode. :) Hope this helps Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 21 16:40:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA08099 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 16:40:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from sand.sentex.ca (sand.sentex.ca [206.222.77.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA08094 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 16:40:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from gravel (gravel.sentex.ca [205.211.165.210]) by sand.sentex.ca (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id TAA00212 for ; Fri, 21 Feb 1997 19:41:12 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19970221192904.00b14860@sentex.net> X-Sender: mdtancsa@sentex.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 19:29:04 -0500 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Mike Tancsa Subject: Help with IDE drive...

Has anybody had any luck getting the IBM 'Home and Away' Ethernet/14.4k modem pcmcia combo to work with FreeBSD? The IBM Semiconductor (ze0) does not seem to work with it. It polls the card, and then completely locks.

We have a constant problem with the current port when the user loses their connection, the process runs wild, eating 80% of the cpu time. Supposedly this is a known bug that is fixed in the latest pine. I tried compiling the source, but there is no direct support of fbsd and I could not get it working.

Now, anyone know how to make this monster do Java? It complains Warning: Type conversion failed and closes netscape (cleanly, w/no core dump). I tried renaming the old java_301 to java_40, but then I got a complaint about the wrong version numbers. I edited the version numbers (directly, without uncompressing, was that stupid?) and tried again, but this time it just wouldn't do java stuff, though it didn't complain or anything.

The Modula-3 libs installer creates a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/m3.sh which runs ldconfig to initialize the modula-3 libraries. If you removed it, then the script may be there and spitting out errors. Try removing it and see if that helps. What's the last thing on the screen before the prompt?

To change the card settings you HAVE to run 3c5x9cfg 2. 3c5x9cfg shipped on the driver disk (in it's root directory) and can only be run from DOS. A DOS boot floppy will do. 3. Once you get 3c5x9cfg running, configure the card for the desired settings, port 0x300, int (whatever, I used 5) and change the ep settings in the kernel config file to reflect that change. YOU MUST ALSO DISABLE PLUG AND PLAY IF THIS CARD HAS IT!!! If you don't have the driver disk, it's available from http://www.3com.com and wander around support for a bit and look for the 3c5x9 driver disk. It's a self extracting archive that, again, has to be run from DOS and will extract the install floppy's directory tree, not a disk image, at least that's what it did a couple of months ago.

You can find the 3c509 EtherDisk, with the config utility and other drivers, on ftp.3com.com in SOFTWARE-LIBRARY/FILES-BY-PRODUCT-FAMILY/ADAPTERS/SHIPPING-DRIVERS/3C5X9X.EXE (This is an NT FTP server, go figure) These are self-extracting DOS archives, just run in a convenient place.

It is much easier to just grab the boot floppy & necessary files and select the 'upgrade' option. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!! 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 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. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted during the upgrade process. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy. > Also We have a > FreeBSD 2.20 snap 080196 and would like that upgrade to what is the latest > in that serieous.

What should I do about the 8 > partitions? Change it to 1, or leave it as it is? If and only if all of the following are true: * You're an intermediate- to expert-level user. (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THE FOLLOWING IF YOU'RE A NOVICE USER!) * You have a SCSI disk (you did mention "sd0" -- IDE drives may work in the following, but I don't know). * You want to dedicate the *ENTIRE* disk to FreeBSD. * You have no data on the disk that you want to keep. * You don't mind losing ALL DATA that is currently on the disk. * You don't mind destroying any and all MSDOS or Windows 3.1/95/NT information that is on the disk. * You don't plan on using or sharing the disk with other operating systems (e.g., MSDOS or Windows). * You want to partition the *ENTIRE* FreeBSD slice into a single FreeBSD filesystem. Then, the easiest way to add a dedicated disk is the following: * First, determine the base disk name of the disk you want to add. Your earlier posting said "sd0", a SCSI disk -- is this correct? This implies that you're probably booting off an IDE disk, and not a SCSI disk, as "sd0" is typically the boot drive (when booting from a SCSI disk). * Assuming that "sd0" really is correct (MAKE SURE OF THIS, AS YOU'LL LOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR BOOT DISK, IF YOU'RE WRONG), do the following (assuming Bourne shell /bin/sh syntax): # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 disklabel /dev/r$d | disklabel -B -R -r $d /dev/stdin # We only want one partition, so using slice 'c' should be fine: newfs /dev/r${d}c (Thanks to Bruce Evans for the procedure.) You can then mount the drive via a command like: mount /dev/${d}c /mnt Expert users can partition the FreeBSD slice into multiple filesystems using a slightly different procedure: # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 TMP=/tmp/label$$ disklabel /dev/r$d > $TMP # Edit disklabel to add partitions: vi $TMP disklabel -B -R -r $d $TMP # newfs partitions appropriately [ In case anyone's interested, I'm working on a perl script from h*ll that attempts to simplify adding an hard disk (this perl script generates a shell script that does the proper fdisk/disklabel/newfs crud). I hope to release an alpha version this week to solicit comments. ] -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

Pine 3.95 fixes many of the nasty bugs in 3.91, plus it's had a good 2x or 3x speed increase and now you have progress bars and 'I'm working' type messages so you know that your telnet connection hasn't gone on vacation, it's just Pine working in the background. 3.95 will compile file if you specify the 'netbsd' target. The mouse stuff will complain but it doesn't work too well anyway -- you would be the better to disable it. This box is actually using 3.94 without any major problems, and our master mail server is on 3.95 with likewise, no probs to report.

Assuming the ftp site is the current state of affairs, there is a ports-2.1.7 -> ports-2.1.6 symlink in place which I would assume means that there will be no updated ports for 2.1.7. This is naturally an assumption and should be taken with a large container of salt handy.

I know in -current, using cvsup will do the -current ports tree.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. Thank you all for your responds, despite the fact that you've just advised me to RTFM :]. But it seems that I am the one to blame - I did not give full enough discription of the case. So, here goes... I'm not bold enough to do something more or less serious without getting at least a couple of words about the subject. Of course, I've read the manuals. "FreeBSD Handbook" and "FreeBSD FAQs", both from the http://www.freebsd.org. My FreeBSD version is 1.1.5.1 (maybe there is something special in it?). I did the following: #cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf #config MYKERNEL #cd /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL #make depend #make (or) #make all #make install ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Anything is Ok, except for this last command. It fails with: make: don't know how to make install. Stop I looked through ../compile/MYKERNEL/Makefile. It does not contain "install:" entry. Is it normal? Does "make" have to look for it somewhere else? I guess, that's all. Thanks for your help.

You need to install the boot manager on the first drive (required), and maybe on the FreeBSD drive, too (optional, you can get away with a standard bootstrap there, or even with `dangerously dedicated' mode, but you won't get a menu then allowing you to toggle back and forth through the drives). I don't know whether booteasy can handle more than one drive. I remember somebody saying that os-bs is better in this respect. > Also, is there a way to use the boot floppy to boot from any drive?

I 1:wd(2,a)kernel It's the second BIOS drive (#1 aka D:), but FreeBSD takes it as wd2 since it doesn't auto-assign the unit numbers in the wd driver, but rather hard-codes them into the possible device slots. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 22 04:55:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA09723 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 04:55:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from admin.cyberenet.net (mail@admin.cyberenet.net [204.213.252.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id EAA09692 for ; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 04:55:48 -0800 (PST) From: wb2oyc@cyberenet.net Received: from ux1.cyberenet.net [204.213.252.2] (root) by admin.cyberenet.net with smtp (Exim 1.59 #1) id 0vyGzF-0003vV-00; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 07:55:33 -0500 Received: from wb2oyc.ppp.cyberenet.net by ux1.cyberenet.net with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #8) id m0vyGzE-0006FGC; Sat, 22 Feb 97 07:55 EST Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 0.4 [p0] on Linux Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <199702220543.XAA19061@badger.tltodd.com> Date: Sat, 22 Feb 1997 07:46:05 -0500 (EST) To: Terry Todd Subject: RE: 3c509 settings Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On 04:43:32 Terry Todd wrote: >>I have a 3C509 ethernet card that works just fine at port 300 and >irq 10 but that conflicts with my Mitsumi IDE CDROM.

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've got a basic BASIC system that is going to be a router for a minor firewall on our network (basically from standard to 192.168.* addresses). The system is a generic 486 with two ne2000 cards--the cards do not conflict (i've already worked that out). There is no SCSI systems, nor do I care about some of the features of a standard kernel. With these assumptions I rebuilt the kernel off the following config (comments stripped). My problem is that now networking doesn't work with the new kernel--it does still work off either device with the old kernel (to keep it simple I'm only initting one ethernet device at a time, until I get the base up and running). When attempting to use the network I see errors such as: sendto(ed1, 224.0.0.2): Permission denied I'm assuming I've messed up the kernel config by removing one too many things, but I can't seem to figure out what it is?

A great way to understand politics with the help of a few cows. (*note - no animals were harmed in this demonstration, despite violent claims in the text) _________________________ WORLD IDEOLOGIES AS EXPLAINED BY REFERENCE TO COWS FEUDALISM You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk. PURE SOCIALISM You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you a glass of milk. BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM Your cows are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs the regulations say you should need. FASCISM You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk. PURE COMMUNISM You share two cows with your neighbours. You and your neighbours bicker about who has the most "ability" and who has the most "need". Meanwhile, no one works, no one gets any milk, and the cows die of starvation. RUSSIAN COMMUNISM You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk. You steal back as much milk as you can and sell it on the black market. PERESTROIKA You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the Mafia takes all the milk. You steal back as much milk as you can and sell it on the "free" market. CAMBODIAN COMMUNISM You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you. DICTATORSHIP You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you. PURE DEMOCRACY You have two cows. Your neighbours decide who gets the milk. REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY You have two cows. Your neighbours pick someone to tell you who gets the milk. BUREAUCRACY You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows. CAPITALISM You don't have any cows. The bank will not lend you money to buy cows, because you don't have any cows to put up as collateral. PURE ANARCHY You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbours try to take the cows and kill you. ANARCHO-CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. OLYMPICS-ISM You have two cows, one American, one Chinese. With the help of trilling violins and state of the art montage photography, John Tesh narrates the moving tale of how the American cow overcame the agony of growing up in a suburb with (gasp) divorced parents, then mentions in passing that the Chinese cow was beaten every day by a tyrannical farmer and watched its parents butchered before its eyes. The American cow wins the competition, severely spraining an udder in a gritty performance, and gets a multi-million dollar contract to endorse Wheaties. The Chinese cow is led out of the arena and shot by Chinese government officials, though no one ever hears about it. McDonald's buys the meat and serves it hot and fast at its Beijing restaurant. --Boundary (ID btDpeLD5DCjrKqYfRV/7Mg)-- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 22 13:17:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA19327 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 13:17:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.MCESTATE.COM (vince@mail.MCESTATE.COM [206.171.98.50]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA19322 for ; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 13:17:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (vince@localhost) by mail.MCESTATE.COM (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA06135 for ; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 13:17:30 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 22 Feb 1997 13:17:30 -0800 (PST) From: Vincent Poy To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD bootup problems Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, Today, when I did a shutdown and tried to reboot the machine, instead of the bootstrap coming up, it just said Read error, any ideas on what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Here's what I've tried: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd2 count=100 [per the book] Here's how I've sliced the drive: # fdisk /dev/rwd2 ******* Working on device /dev/rwd2 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4982 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4982 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 5021856 (2452 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 885/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 1 is: The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: Then I did disklabel /dev/rwd2 > diskproto Here's the diskproto file [after I modified it]: # cat diskproto # /dev/rwd2: type: EIDE #note: I've also tried ESDI with the same results disk: M1638TAU label: FreeBSD flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 16 sectors/cylinder: 1008 cylinders: 4982 sectors/unit: 5021856 rpm: 5400 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] h: 5021856 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4981) Then I do: disklabel -R -r wd2 diskproto This cuases my system to crash. The whole darn thing is frozen and the HD just glows red. I read the doc file that came with the drive. The only warning for not using Mickey$oft OS's is that I can't modify the MBR. How do I prepare this HD so I can use it? Should I return it? I'm attempting to setup a second HD to store my backup of my primary HD. When I upgraded to 3.0 SNAP I used the install prgramm to setup the 2nd HD. I was able to mount it after I rebooted after the install finished, but every time I tried to write anything to the drive my system would hang. Any suggestions? Has anyone successfully setup a fs on one of these drives? Thanks in advance for your help.

I've set up user ppp with the tun0 device. I can actually start terminal emulation from ppp and dial up the isp, but not with the "ppp.conf" script I created in /etc/ppp aka the handbook. According to the book, I should be able to enter at the prompt (I'm still logging in as root): # ppp "provider" where "provider" is the name of my isp in the ppp.conf script. Here's one problem I've encountered. I noticed that after I made the suggested changes to /etc/sysconfig, like so: hostname=rma.edu where "rma.edu" is the domain name of my isp, when I rebooted, instead of "myname.my.domain", or some other defined user, the machine was calling itself "rma.edu."

It is just another connection. You don't do anything special in your browser or other applications. ppp should set up the default routing for you. Once you are connected, try ifconfig -a at the prompt to see what the default routing is. Do you remember all the cruft you had to set up in windoze to get the dns resolved? I have done the setups for windog95 and NotThere os's. Similar things have to happen on the FreeBSD box. You will need to modify /etc/resolv.conf to something like: domain progroup.com nameserver 206.24.122.1 Where the nameserver is what your isp told you it was, and the domain is rma.edu. You may want to set up /etc/hosts to contain your host name. 127.0.0.1 localhost.rma.edu localhost 206.24.122.1 yourname.rma.edu yourname The 127.0.0.1 number is the same for every machine's loopback localhost. On the other hand, since you are probably getting an assigned ip address you may not want to enter the host ip line for your box. > > Michael Alwan -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 22 19:23:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA11844 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 19:23:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.telstra.com.au (mail.telstra.com.au [192.148.160.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA11832 for ; Sat, 22 Feb 1997 19:23:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by mail.telstra.com.au (8.8.2/8.6.9) id OAA14466 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 14:22:42 +1100 (EST) Received: from mail_gw.fwall.telecom.com.au(192.148.147.10) by mail via smap (V1.3) id sma014393; Sun Feb 23 14:21:43 1997 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by mail_gw.fwall.telecom.com.au (8.8.2/8.6.9) id OAA07580 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 14:21:42 +1100 (EST) Received: from cdn_mail.dn.itg.telecom.com.au(144.135.109.134) by mail-gw.fwall.telstra.com.au via smap (V1.3) id sma007543; Sun Feb 23 14:21:27 1997 Received: from io.telecom.com.au (io.telecom.com.au [172.57.9.32]) by cdn-mail.telecom.com.au (8.8.2/8.6.9) with ESMTP id OAA20766 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 14:21:26 +1100 (EST) Received: (from tdwyer@localhost) by io.telecom.com.au (8.8.3/8.8.3) id LAA18164; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 11:21:07 +0800 (WST) Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 11:21:07 +0800 (WST) From: Terry Dwyer +61-9-491-5161 To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: arp-proxyall, arp -s: can't get it to work.
