When you talk async over a serial port to an ISDN TA at 115200 baud, each byte you send is surrounded by two bits as part of the async protocol. Which means the real maximum data delivery rate to your TA is around 90000 bits per second. A rather poor usage of a 2B channel call, which can handle 112000 or 128000 bps. The only serial based ISDN TA I know of which goes faster than 115200 baud is the Adtran Express XRT or XR which can do 230400 baud. You'll need an appropriate serial card to go at that rate. For non-serial based ISDN routers the Ascend 25 and 50 seem pretty cool. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 7 01:15:58 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA28375 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 7 Apr 1996 01:15:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from wedge.its.utas.edu.au (wedge.its.utas.edu.au [131.217.10.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA28370 for ; Sun, 7 Apr 1996 01:15:55 -0800 (PST) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.1/8.6.6) id TAA16943; Sun, 7 Apr 1996 19:15:52 +1000 (EST) Date: Sun, 7 Apr 1996 19:15:51 +1000 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: trying to compile lyx word processor Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks to all who helped with this..

Everything else runs via the V.35 and TP ethernet port. Ah, it wasn't clear whether it was configuration only, or if it looked like a network interface, making it a three port router. The Web pages implied that the custom configuration software could be bypassed completely in favor of SNMP; which would indicate that the card should work reasonably well in a FreeBSD-only box.

I want to congratulate you for a great product (I've been using SCO for over 10 years until now, but the Internet is new to me :) and hope you can help me with a configuration problem. I purchased FreeBSD 2.1 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM and have it running on a 486 with an ethernet card and a modem. My intention is to use it as a gateway to allow my other (Windows) PC's to access the Internet via a dialup connection, at present thru CompuServe, but later on thru a local, dedicated ISP. I also want to run an httpd server "on the side". Right now the system is configured and running so: a) the LAN works and the Windows PC's can telnet, ftp and http browse to FreeBSD through the ethernet; b) from the system console, "user ppp" works and I can log into CompuServe; I can also reach my "roving" WWW server from the Internet using the CompuServe-assigned IP address. It surprised me how fast it runs considering the hardware (486DX-33, 8MB RAM, 14.4K modem). The problem is that the gateway doesn't work; whenever I request an external URL using the Microsoft Internet Explorer it just waits, and waits, and waits... I have set "gateway=YES" and "gated=YES" in /etc/sysconfig, and when the system boots it loads the gateway daemons and everything appears to be ok. I have three leads to the problem, but I have yet to grasp the solution to it. 1. When the system boots, the acknowledgement line for the tun0 device reads: "tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500". This line does not show "RUNNING", nor is there a second line "inet x.x.x.x --> y.y.y.y netmask 0xffffffff" as explained in the FreeBSD handbook section 11.1 near the end. 2. When I try to run ppp -auto compuserve, the last message line reads: "Must specify dstaddr with auto mode". I imagine it dstadrr means CompuServe's gateway address, but I do not know it (only gateway.compuserve.com) and if I do a "show IPCP" while connected manually, "HISADDR" is always different for every connection. 3. After the manual connection has been up for a few minutes, I get the message: "routed[50]: deleting route to interface tun0 (timed out)". However, the link keeps running. Please help me get this running, and I promise I'll document it and submit it for your FAQ or handbook. I imagine there are lots of people with CompuServe accounts that would love to have their own WWW server, as the facilities there are limited (1MB space, and nothing else). Yet, their static CompuServe home page will be useful to list their dynamically-assigned IP address. Anyway, that's my plan. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Regards, Jose F.

Whatever addresses you've assigned your other local systems won't be recognised by the rest of the 'net. Your best bet is to run the 'socks' proxy on your FreeBSD system. I can't say for sure whether Microsoft's poxy Explorer supports the socks protocol, but Netscape does, which should give you the sort of capability you want. Check http://www.socks.nec.com/ for a discussion of what socks is. FreeBSD is a supported platform for the latest release; also check the -hackers mailing list archive for discussions regarding the new release of socks (I believe that a port has been prepared, but I'm not sure where it was uploaded). > I have set "gateway=YES" and "gated=YES" in /etc/sysconfig, and when the You want "gated=NO", as you don't have, or want, gated. > 1.

I suggest you install FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE and then immediately upgrade the system (through SUP or CTM, see the manual) to 2.1-STABLE. This will give you better performance and a very stable system.

I posted this message back in February, but then was unable to receive any replies until recently. I've checked the archives, but this question and its answers don't show up, so maybe... Anyway, for those of you who may have seen/answered this before, my apologies. When I first installed FreeBSD (2.0.5, but I'm now on 2.1-STABLE) on my 1.6Gb disk, I had a 300Mb dos partition. Subsequently, I added a 2nd hard disk, and moved most of the dos stuff over to it. I thus wanted to reduce to a minimum the dos slice, and put a FreeBSD filesystem in the remaining space. Here's where I've gotten to so far: bash# fdisk /dev/wd0 ******* Working on device /dev/wd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=3158 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=3158 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 4,(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT) start 63, size 61425 (29 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 60/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 616896, size 2566368 (1253 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 612/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 61488, size 555408 (271 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 61/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 611/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 3 is: bash# It's partition 2 that I want the file systems on. (It shows up as a device: /dev/wd0s3). But... bash# disklabel -r /dev/rwd0s3 Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled) bash# So my question: I'm a bit lost as to how I actually get a FreeBSD filesystem on this slice and create the devices.

Of course, this is totally dependant on the primary use you put the ISDN line to. I have an ISDN connection to my work and for a while it was only 64K due to incompatability problems. I found that quite usable for several reasons. One, most of my time is spent typing and interacting with computers over the link. Comparitively little is spent doing huge transfers. As I pay no connection charge to connect to my work, the speed of a transfer is largely irrelevant, as I can always do something else while transfers occur in the background(like read news), and in testing I found that even with 3 ftp sessions running from a host directly connected to the router on the other side of my connection, inter-character delay was still completely acceptable, with none of the problems you get with a modem connection. Another consideration I've found is that unless you're a night owl, even with 64k your speed for ftp and web browsing is more limited by other parts of the net. I've found during weekdays that I average around 2-3k/sec which is only slightly better than the speed I got with a 28k modem, possibly due to improved ack turnaround time. Of course, now I have a full 128K connection, it is nice when I hit a site that can actually send to me at full speed. -- John Henders From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 7 16:21:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA11096 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 7 Apr 1996 16:21:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from perki.connect.com.au (perki.connect.com.au [192.189.54.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA11091 for ; Sun, 7 Apr 1996 16:21:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by perki.connect.com.au id JAA23406 (8.7.4/IDA-1.6); Mon, 8 Apr 1996 09:21:02 +1000 (EST) >Received: from localhost (giles@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nemeton.com.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id HAA08267; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 07:52:31 +1000 Message-Id: <199604072152.HAA08267@nemeton.com.au> To: Robert N Watson cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: netboot without BOOTP/DHCP Date: Mon, 08 Apr 1996 07:52:30 +1000 From: Giles Lean Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 6 Apr 1996 10:52:18 -0500 (EST) Robert N Watson wrote: > I'd like to use netboot and a reduced kernel to load up FreeBSD > occasionally on my old 386 (which used to be my primary BSD system > back in 2.0 :) -- does anyone have a modified netboot that has a > hardcoded set of IP's to use, instead of bootp? Someone was working on this; I haven't heard recently. One gross hack is to boot from a floppy disk with a modified init that chroots the whole system. This sounded a wierd suggestion when it was made to me, but I did try it and it did work. The output of mount(8) was a little confusing though!

The FreeBSD files I got: 1 floppy with boot.flp(done with rawrite.exe). 1 floppy with root.flp(done with rawrite.exe). c:\freebsd\floppies boot.flp root.flp c:\freebsd\bin all the bin.xx from the FTP site(bin.aa to bin.cp). 16Mbytes worth c:\freebsd\tools all the tools from the FTP site Am I missing something? What does "page fault" mean? Is there more FAQ or docs that descript errors or panics? Regards.(& HELP!)

(I think you meant 1GB up there. :-) ) yes, BSD and SysV are _very_ different, in fact two disjunct branches of UNIX. the best place for info on FreeBSD is the web site: http://www.freebsd.org. Under "Documentation" is the Handbook, which is the somewhat comperhensive manual, as well as a book list of recommended titles. I think you may be interested in some of the 4.4BSD manuals. > We have received from another friend a CD with LINUX SlackWare and we are > in front of the question about which of them (LINUX or FreeBSD) will meet > our requirements here.

Also, there is a Usenix paper that looks at solaris X86, linux, and FreeBSD that is available at http://plastique.standford.edu. (I think) Hope this helps.

There is some development going on to support the APS SmartUPS series. They're having to reverse-engineer the thing since APS won't give them the command structure, but I guess there are some beta daemons out. We keep intending on getting it and trying it on one of our boxes, but we keep putting it off. Check the -questions archive for the URL; I don't have it off the top of my head.

Even using a > bunch of swap would be faster than a reverse namelookup on the IP. [...] My tests with my original script demonstrated the above behavior (e.g. the caching was much faster). I was also surprised at the small amount of memory the caching script took. That said, I rewrote the scripts. I have included two versions below: Somewhat obtuse, and extremely obtuse. :) The first version is pretty straightforward, but it includes a subroutine that does all of the caching IP to host conversions that is designed to be short and magic. Here it is: #!/usr/bin/perl # does IP to hostname conversion of NCSA common log format access_log # files # Usage: ip2host ... # Or, it will take input from standard in. In either case, output is to # standard out. # Bryan K. Ogawa require "sys/socket.ph"; while(<>) { ($ip, $rest) = split(/ /,$_,2); print &gethost($ip), " $rest"; } sub gethost { $CACHE{$_[0]} || ($CACHE{$_[0]} = (gethostbyaddr(pack("C4",split(/\./,$_[0])), &AF_INET))[0] || $_[0]); } __END__ For you non-perl people out there, you can leave out the __END__ if the program (from the !# to the last } ) is by itself in a file. Short explanation: The subroutine gethost uses an associative array as a cache, filling it with the found hostname, or the original value if no hostname is found (so, if the IP lookup fails, or the item was already a name, the returned value should be the original value). If the host has a name like 205.162.host.net , and there is a name associated with 205.162.0.0 , it might produce incorrect values; I didn't test that case. I decided I wanted to see how small I could make it, so I came up with this: #!/usr/bin/perl -ap $_=$F[0];$_=join(" ",$a{$_}||($a{$_}= (gethostbyaddr(pack(C4,split(/\./)),2))[0]||$_),@F[1..$#F])."\n"; __END__ Again, the __END__ isn't necessary. The 2nd and 3rd lines can be concatenated together--I split it for sending via mail. In addition, it can be invoked from the command line as: perl -ape '$_=$F[0] ......' Again, it can also use STDIN instead of a list of files, and in both cases, it outputs to standard out. This second version has another known caveat--it presumes AF_INET equals 2. I hope you find this useful. bryan -- Bryan K. Ogawa II Infinitum <>< On this account I speak for myself.

I get the same thing with Atlas, exiting on signal 8. For me, I'm guessing its the 8meg ram I have. Then again, it is a Preview release and bound to have some problems. Have you tried the 1.2 version? Its much smaller. I usually restart netscape and hit the home button as soon as the window fills in (netscape voodoo). Usually after three or four tries it becomes stable. Once it is stable it holds up well to intense surfing. > > thanks, > > dimitri > Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com >--->--->--->--->---> FreeBSD 2.1.0-R <---<---<---<---<---< From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 8 04:15:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id EAA20235 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 04:15:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from guarany.cpd.unb.br (guarany.cpd.unb.br [164.41.2.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA20225 for ; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 04:15:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from antares.linf.unb.br by guarany.cpd.unb.br (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA36882; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 07:44:56 -0300 Received: from ppp11.cr-df.rnp.br by antares.linf.unb.br (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AB01084; Mon, 8 Apr 96 07:48:36 WST Message-Id: <3169343F.3B42@linf.unb.br> Date: Mon, 08 Apr 1996 08:43:59 -0700 From: Alex Carlos Braga Antao X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win16; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd@freebsd.org Subject: YP : NEW USER ! :( Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I´m still having that problem : My Ylet me add new users.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on a Pentium 120 with 32M of RAM. The card shows up on the aic0 controller. I'm using the cd0 device selection in the kernel config file. I can mount the FreeBSD CDrom using mount_cd9660 without any problem. (That's what I got it for). But whenever I try to play an audio CD using any of the audio CD player apps (cdplay, cdplayer, xcd, xcdplayer, etc.) it doesn't work. For instance, when I try cdplayer, I get an error message. Here is a sample run: vishnu:perry {105} cdplayer CD>play 1 2 cdplayer: Invalid argument CD> I can then run dmesg and the following error message is in the log: cd0(aic0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:26,0 Invalid field in parameter list Does anyone know what these errors mean? Can someone help me with this problem? I have a SCSI CD drive on my machine at work that uses the ahc0 kernel driver and the cd0 device and I don't have this problem.

I have two Asus Pentium boards (P55TP4N). In my home machine I used an Adaptec 1542 board for about a week with no ill effects; ran great. This weekend I swapped out the 1542 for a 2940 (what a nightmare THAT was - they don't use the same geometry remapping apparently; sigh...) and it's been running several hours now with no problems. One thing I *DID* do was tell the Asus BIOS about all legacy cards that use ISA interrupts - it's in the "PnP" setup I believe. Also make *ABSOLUTELY SURE* your SCSI bus is properly terminated :-).

My point was (a) they may have similar BIOSen (in which case they MAY have something, albeit not much, to do with each other), and (b) it's my [possibly flawed] understanding that some legacy boards DO interfere in situations where you have mixed PCI and ISA busses. ;-) The advice I was giving was "try telling the BIOS about all IRQs in use by ISA boards". Sorry about obfuscating it by mentioning my board type. > Bus termination doesn't help much when the chipset or board implementation > don't correctly handle busmaster DMS 8) But it DOES cause SCSI errors, unterminated file transfers, corrupted data, etc. which is what the originator was complaining about. I've personally experienced cases where a device at the end of a SCSI chain will act up, but the other devices work (most of the time). Or where I've had a terminator with a single bad resistor and REALLY odd things have happened. Whenever I have SCSI problems I always replace the terminators; that way (1) if one is missing I find out REALLY fast, and (2) if I've got a bad terminator it gets fixed. :-)!! Plus BOTH my 2940's work just fine; apparently they have the "good BIOS". Lucky me!! :-)!!

Apropos my original article, I neglected to say that, after having problems with the 2940 controller, I've been trying also a 1542B, same hard disks, same CD drive, same, hopefully good scsi termination. I then could install both Freebsd and Dos. What I'm going to replace now is the hard disk (IBM) with a new one (Fujitsu), and do it again. However I'm inclined to think about the buggy firmware revision with PnP motherboards and hence to contact the tech support from Adpatec/Asus. Meanwhile, if possible, I'll try to swap the motherboard also, with a non PnP type. I'll get back to you as soon as any piece of news.

Date: Mon, 08 Apr 96 10:53:15 -0700 From: John Crosswhite Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am still having the user ppp problems. Here is a descripton of the problem: dial in. everything works fine. disconnect. dial in again and I get the equivalent of the following: /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (some number) Now, this might be associated with the same problem. My provider allocates IPs dynamically. What kind of a line should I put in my /etc/hosts file?? I say this because the sysconfig line for ifconfig references the hostname in hosts. If the wrong IP is given in hosts, how can tun0 be configured correctly? So, what it comes down to is this. How can tun0 be properly configured on startup if I give it a bogus IP which will be different from my Provider's allocated IP? I have tried aliasing my hostname to localhost. That doesn't solve any problems. I have tried giving my hostname a bogus IP or an IP of all 0s in hosts. That doesn't solve any problems. Anyone have a working dynamic IP user PPP configuration? Could you send me your /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig, and ppp configuration files? Of course this is all on a 2.1.0-RELEASE system. And, of course, I have searched and read the archives. Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of problems with user ppp are related to static IP allocation. Other than this minor problem, I am extremely happy with my box. Thanks.

Windows might be trying to be clever and > configuring a non-PnP card as if it was PnP. That was my first thought. I've still not uncovered whether it really does, or not. Here's what I've figured out / tried, since... I tried using the latest 3c5x9x utility to disable PnP altogether. It returns an error message, which leads me to believe that the card, indeed, does not support the 'real' PnP. (I don't think it's supposed to, as it isn't a 509b, it is a plain 3c509-TP.) I started getting curious as to what machines I could drop the thing into, and have FreeBSD recognise it. So far, only the P150 machine had found the card at all. Here's what I tried, organised my machine name, to make it easier to identify each machine: 486Quick150: This is the one which I was origionally trying, and didn't work. I tried re-configuring the card for several base/irq combinations, none of which FreeBSD found. However, booting up Windows virtually always found the card, regardless of what the driver was set to, and never showed an interupt. This seems to support that WIndows ras reconfiguring the card, but sometimes, say if I picked 210 as the io port, Windows wouldn't find the card if it was set to 300. Setting windows to 210 also, would make it work. I even tried all sorts of irq/io base numbers in FreeBSD (mismatching them from the card's), but that didn't work either. Hobbes: This machine is currently a 486DXL-40 (basically a clock-doubled 386-40, it goes in a 386 motherboard), running only FreeBSD. It's the one machine on the network that always runs FreeBSD so I can use it to store home directories, shared applications, etc. Again, I tried setting the card and FreeBSD to a myriad of values, some matching, some not... (including 300, 320, 210, with all sorts of IRQs, like 10 set on the card, try 10, 11, 12, on FreeBSD, try 11 on the card, try 10, 11, 12 in Freebsd...) Nothing seemed to work, and Windoes definetly isn't there to interfere. Hoser: This is friend's Pentium machine which worked. The card was set in the config utility to 300/11, FreeBSD found it at 300/10 (I never tried 300/11 in FreeBSD, it worked at the default..??), and W95 found it at 300/11. (Yes, it even showed the interrupt.) Bedroom: I was getting poor NFS performance on the machine in my Bedroom (a 486/33), so I decided to try the 509 in there. The card was configured at 210/10 when I put it in the machine, and FreeBSD actually found it, when set to 210/10. Unfortunately, performance was pathetic. Using TCPBLAST, I couldn't get over 0.0 MB/s.. :-) Watching the dots, it would move a chunk, anywhere from 2-3K to 20K or so, then pause... then move another. Same result as FTP with HASH turned on. So, I figured the interrupt wasn't right, causing it to WORK, but only after the driver timed out and checked the card for data, wondering why an interrupt hadn't occured yet. However, I never did find the correct interrupt, if that was the problem. Freebsd worked with the config utility set to 10/11 or 12 while the card was at 10. I tried different IO bases, interrupts, nothing gave better performance. IRQ 15 didn't work at all, even when the card and FreeBSD were both set to it. I found that curious. Even stranger, one time I went to 486Quick150, and tcpblasted Bedroom. I got 1.0 MBytes/s. Considering the top speed for ethernet is about 1.0, That's not too bad. Unfortunately, it only workes one way! Den: Acts exactly like 486Quick150. Different motherboard, different BIOS, different processor, hard drive controller, drives... Even different video card, but it does exactly the same thing. Does ANYONE have any ideas what is going on here? Is it possible that there is a bug in the software on the 3c509 itself? Can the whole card be re-programmed, or is just the setting memory flash-rom? Later......

My modem continues to stay connected just fine. The thing that boggles me is that I can do the same login procedure in the kernel pppd program and it will get logged in okay. One thing I know that may be a bit odd is that the other side is sending some extra information for unknown protocol 80fd (I think or something close to that). Would that extra bit be causing problems in user ppp that kernel pppd can get around? >Try to figure out why your remote is hanging up on you. Are you >forgetting to use PAP or CHAP authentication when it is necessary? I have trying doing it with a login script that does everything. I've tried doing it without a login script and having pap enabled/chap disabled and having it just send those things at the Login: prompt the way I do under win95. Neither method seems to get me logged in. Also doesn't it have to get past authentication to get to lcp?

I've seen this on a machine without a math co-processor (a 486SX) which was using the standard math emulator and the BSDI version of netscape. I would suggest trying the GNU math emulator, which is supposed to be more complete. You need to re-configure your kernel to test this. [Regarding someone else's suggestion about limited memory: the 486SX has 20Mb, so I don't think that is the problem. :-] Giles From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 8 16:40:58 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA12947 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 16:40:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA12941 for ; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 16:40:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id QAA03444; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 16:34:25 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199604082334.QAA03444@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: FreeBSD on a Windows NT system questions.

A security audit is run nightly (makes for a bad machine for a bedroom). It can be disabled by modifying /etc/daily. The log should be in the root mailbox. Login as root and run mail. I'd be surprised if it made a call. If you have a service provider, then when it went to do the name lookup, if you have your network configured incorrectly, it could have been sendmail firing the phone call off to talk to your nameserver.

Sorry? That logic doesn't follow. ppp -auto lives through login sessions - it's a daemon. It's quite possible that if you haven't set up your dfilter rules properly, some cron job triggered that off... Check /var/log/maillog, /var/log/ppp.log, /var/log/messages and /var/cron/log to see if you can see anything happening when you were sleeping.

I know this may not help you with a dynamic ip address, but you might contact your provider and ask them if they have a hostname set aside for you; crosswjo.dialup.hp-pcd.net or something along that line. Your ip address may be dynamic, but don't dynamic users get some kind of permanent hostname? How else could they identify you when you login?

These mean that your system is losing interrupts from the harddisk. Having seen these symptoms described just recently, I'm curious to know whether you're using a Packard Bell system? If you can't resolve this problem by tinkering with your motherboard setup, you won't be able to use FreeBSD on your hardware. It's showing symptoms of being badly broken. > Secondly, I have an ISP with a 28.8 connection, but during the > install I am never prompted to dial into the provider. If you're using a PPP connection, you'll have to swap over to vty2 (ALT-F3) and interact with the PPP program in order to dial. The installation guide has details on doing this. If you're using a SLIP connection, you should establish it before starting the installation. > Robert M.

Tried following your suggestion for recompiling my own (customized) kernel for BSD. However, you state that if I have problems which are not covered in your manuals (and, of course, they never are) to write you. I got to the third part of your instructions: 1) /usr/sbin/config GARYP (which is the name of MYKERNEL); 2) cd ../../compile/GARYP 3) make 4) make install I never have gotten past step 3. I always run into something called ***Stop. Error code 1. Usually, I just type make again, and it picks up where it left off (Probably because of the *.o files which exist). It then continues, but ultimately bombs again. This time, what I have included here, has stalled it dead in its tracks. (Could you tell me what error code 1 means, and where I am to look to find out where the error codes are kept?) Anyway, you said to give you a copy of my kernel, as I edited it, and the error message I received. I hope this helps. Now, the big question is: can you help me? ****************MY EDITED KERNEL FILE BELOW****************************** # # GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks # # GENERIC,v 1.20 1994/11/18 19:10:25 jkh Exp # machine "i386" #cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" #cpu "I586_CPU" ident GARYP maxusers 5 #options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem #options NFS #Network Filesystem #options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem #options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 options UCONSOLE #X Console support options "FAT_CURSOR" #block cursor in syscons or pccons options "SCSI_DELAY=5" #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options "NCONS=4" #4 virtual consoles #options BOUNCE_BUFFERS #include support for DMA bounce buffers config kernel root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1 dumps on wd0 controller isa0 controller pci0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 #tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 #disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 controller ncr0 #controller bt0 at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector btintr #controller uha0 at isa? port "IO_UHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector uhaintr #controller ahc0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr #controller ahb0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahbintr controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector ahaintr #controller aic0 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector aicintr #controller pas0 at isa? port 0x1f88 bio #controller sea0 at isa? bio irq 5 iomem 0xc8000 iosiz 0x2000 vector seaintr controller scbus0 device sd0 #device sd1 #device sd2 #device sd3 #device st0 #device st1 device cd0 #Only need one of these, the code dynamically grows #device wt0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 5 drq 1 vector wtintr #device mcd0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 10 vector mcdintr #device mcd1 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector mcdintr device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr #device lpt1 at isa? port? tty #device lpt2 at isa? port? tty #device de0 #device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr #device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr #device ie0 at isa? port 0x360 net irq 7 iomem 0xd0000 vector ieintr #device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr #device is0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 drq 7 vector isintr #device le0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd0000 vector le_intr #device ze0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector zeintr pseudo-device loop #pseudo-device ether pseudo-device log pseudo-device sl 2 pseudo-device pty 16 pseudo-device speaker #pseudo-device gzip # Exec gzipped a.out's *******************END OF MY KERNEL**************************************** Following message received while trying to compile the new kernel: cc -c -O -W -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wredundant-decls -I. -I../.. -I../../sys -DGARYP -DI486_CPU -DNCONS=4 -DSCSI_DELAY=5 -DFAT_CURSOR -DUCONSOLE -DCOMPAT_43 -DPROCFS -DFFS -DINET -DKERNEL -Di386 -DLOAD_ADDRESS=0xF0100000 ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c: In function `fifo_advlock': ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c:506: argument `ap' doesn't match prototype ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo.h:76: prototype declaration *** Error code 1 Stop. ****************MAKE STOPPED AT THIS POINT********************************* Thanks in advance for your help. gary@garyp.ase.com.

Date: Monday, April 8, 1996 7:44 am Subject: Need Help with Sony CD drive Hello Everyone, I just installed a Sony CDU76S CD drive that included a Adaptec 1515 SCSI controller card. I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on a Pentium 120 with 32M of RAM. The card shows up on the aic0 controller. I'm using the cd0 device selection in the kernel config file. I can mount the FreeBSD CDrom using mount_cd9660 without any problem. (That's what I got it for). But whenever I try to play an audio CD using any of the audio CD player apps (cdplay, cdplayer, xcd, xcdplayer, etc.) it doesn't work. For instance, when I try cdplayer, I get an error message. Here is a sample run: vishnu:perry {105} cdplayer CD>play 1 2 cdplayer: Invalid argument CD> I can then run dmesg and the following error message is in the log: cd0(aic0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:26,0 Invalid field in parameter list Does anyone know what these errors mean? Can someone help me with this problem? I have a SCSI CD drive on my machine at work that uses the ahc0 kernel driver and the cd0 device and I don't have this problem.

A friend's OS/2 box drops LCP and then reports the remote said "greetings!" and links up fine, so I suggested it as an off-the-wall thing :-) I forgot to check this: when does it say "dial OK!" and "Login OK!"? I seem to remember login OK! appearing before it was done. You may also try doing "set debug chat" and see how far it is getting through the script.

Actually, it's not sendmail doing the lookup. My home machine calls in at 2am to my network as regularly as clockwork. The explanation is a call in /etc/daily: echo "network:" netstat -i echo "" netstat -i attempts to do a reverse namelookup on the addresses it presents to you for inspection. If you want to stop your machine from dialing in, change the 'netstat -i' call to a 'netstat -ni'. I haven't bothered because I find it quaint that my computer likes to dialin at 2am, and it makes a neat clock to tell me that I'm up too late again. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

I am fairly new to java, but I grabbed kaffe, version 0.54, for FreeBSD 2.1R just a couple of days ago.

Huh, they are rather low-level. I wonder how you managed to ``correct'' them with NDD. Probably NDD did only include them into the DOS bad sector list? You could also use the ``bad144'' bad sector replacement on BSD, but if i were you, i would backup the entire disk, and see to hardware- reformat it. (I hope it's not a Quantum, they cannot be formatted at all.) Note that ``hardware-reformat'' is quite different from what DOS' format program does; it requires a special utility that is usually available from several disk manufacturers. Of course, you could go SCSI :), where disk formatting is standardized. Then you can use /sbin/scsiformat... -- 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 Tue Apr 9 03:42:55 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id DAA01383 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 03:42:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nixpbe.pdb.sni.de (mail.sni.de [192.109.2.33]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA01377 for ; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 03:42:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nerv@localhost) by nixpbe.pdb.sni.de (8.6.12/8.6.12) id LAA12762 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 11:24:41 +0200 Message-Id: <199604090924.LAA12762@nixpbe.pdb.sni.de> Subject: Re: Installing FreeBSD To: jeff@stat.uconn.edu (Jeffrey M.

Can you tell us more about your configuration? I suspect that it depends on the BIOS: as I said in my book, the limitations stem from the maximum values that most BIOSes understand for heads, tracks and sectors. If you have a BIOS which is less brain-damaged, it will work. > If I plan to never communicate with my DOS partition, need I worry > about any other stability problems if I keep my system installed as > is? No. As Mike Smith said, once it's up and running, you have won. I don't even think that DOS partition access should be a problem.

First of all I will tell you something about my configuration ,I have a Compaq Presario 7150 Pentium 75 PCI with S3 Trio64 Svga card ,16 MB RAM ,520 MB Hard drive and a ATAPI CDROM (I know is not yet supported , but you think I will be able to use it in the future with a patch maybe ?...) . I have installed FreeBsd from a dos partition after having created a 133 MB Freebsd partition with the custom installation and I've installed the common distribution set plus the "system" sources and the xfree86 kit. After the installation I've configured XFree86 to use the X interface but trying to start it I've got the following error message : device not found /dev/mouse. After reading through the documentation I've realized that I had to reconfigure the kernel to have my mouse ( a normal PS/2 with two button) be recognised from the operating system. So with the help of the LINT example I've created a MYKERNEL containing the following instruction : device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr I've recreated successfully the kernel and I've tried again to run X application , and this time I've received the following error : no device found at 0x60 With some diagnostic program I've checked that the PS2 mouse is actually at irq 12 address 0x60 so I can't understand why Freebsd is not able to find it . So at the end my question is how can I get to run X programs on my machine , what's wrong with my procedure or what's wrong in my machine ? Thank you very much for your attention and collaboration and congratulation for the quality of the product . Roberto (Milan , Italy).

If yes, what shall I do ? You need to describe it as 'lnc0' device in your kernel config file (or use boottime '-c' switch to configure it). Yes, lnc is an ISA driver, but it works nicely with PCI AMD cards.

Hello Richard, I correct this problem in my FreeBSD using the badsect program When the error occurs the system display on the console: FSB NNNNNNNNN where NNN is the sector number in error. 1) make a /BAD directory in the file system in error say: /usr/BAD 2) run badsect /usr/BAD NNNN NNNNN NNNN... 3) boot the machine with -s option. 4) run fsck /dev/rwdxx (xx) as indicated in the badsect output 5) answer to the fsck (y or n) according. (preserve BAD..., no remove BAD, remove file...) 6) quit shell and let the system reboot. 7) recover deleted files listed by fsck. (from the cdrom for example). That's it . Sergio lenzi Unix consult.

Solution: don't run fsck on mounted filesystems. fsck works on the raw device, and may bypass any pending writes in the kernel, thus thinking something is wrong when it isn't (and if it fixes it, all h*ll could break lose). *ONLY* run fsck on unmounted filesystems.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm running FreeBSD on a machine with an Artisoft AE-3 card -- an NE2000 clone with 64K (rather than the usual 16K) of buffer space. How can I get FreeBSD to recognize, and use, this additional space for transmit (and, especially, receive) buffering? The kernel source, which is almost uncommented, suggests that the OS will assume an NE2000-compatible card has 16K of buffering. There's also some conditionaly compiled code having to do with a Gateway Ethernet card. It's not normally compiled in, but it looks as if it *may* test the buffer size. Will the Gateway code enable the use of the full 64K of buffer space? If so, is the code tested and reliable?

It's using one of the wierd math coprocessor instructions, probably packed decimal or something equally dumb. You can: 1) Install a math coprocessor 2) Rebuild a kernel with the GNU math coprocessor emulator (see /sys/i386/conf/LINT for instructions).

When it is unmounted, the last operation is to mark it clean. This is how the system knows the difference between normal and abnormal shutdowns. The problem is that you are running fsck on a mounted file system and expecting it to not complain. 8-). You can "suppress the cause" by unmounting the file system before running fsck. 8-) 8-) 8-). Alternately, there are two sets of kernel patches you could apply to the sync procedure. The first set marks the FS clean after a sync and no dirty buffers to be written exist after a certain amount of idle time (this is what Windows95 does with VFAT as well). Once these patches are integrated, it is safe to simply power the system off after a certain amount of time inactive. The second set is required to marke the FS dirty before allowing a buffer referring to the FS to be marked dirty. This causes some delay for a system which has been idle for two sync periods (which is when you would mark the FS clean -- sync periods should be reduced to several seconds -- maybe even one -- by the first patch). The patches are more useful for nomadic computing and removable media than anything else.

If 2K: make sure that the area is writeable by the FTP user you are logged in as. This is a common mistake.

I am sitting here on my living room couch typing away on one of the four dumb terminals i've got sitting on the coffee table. They were just donated by a friend, and suprisingly they all work. The only stumbling block to their efficient operation is my ignorance of their capabilities and of termcap entries. I have three wyse160's, 2 with "pce" keyboards (exactly like a 101-key IBM AT) and one with a wy60-ansi 16 function key keyboard (well, it didnt come with it, i had it spare and i'm using it to type this). The fourth is a visual-603 with a matching 603 keyboard. My questions are: 1) how can i get the most out of these terminals using FreeBSD? i notice they have mouse-capabilities, but i'm not so mad as to hope that i can get that to work. 2) What is the best way to get the damn function and cursor keys to work (like in pine -k)? 3) Which termcap entry should i use, or am i going to have to build my own to get everything out of the keyboards? Any information you can supply me with, or even better some pointer to some docs or manuals so i can learn what the hell it is that i think i'm talking about... i'd appreciate it. I'm sorry to come up with such a lamer question, but i've fiddled with these things all afternoon and just can't seem to get the right combination of termcaps and setups.

It dials out as soon as something tries to send a packet out. Guessing (because this is what my machine does...) I'd say that you aren't running DNS, but do have your ISP's DNS server(s) defined in /etc/resolv.conf. There are 2 parts of the usual 'daily' shell script which will cause name resolution - 'mailq' and the 'netstat' command (I forget the parameters). Naturally, in order to resolve a hostname, the machine will send a request to your ISP - waking up ppp. 2 solutions - You could remove the offending steps from '/etc/daily' or, do what I do - set the modem to dial silently.

I want to create a master installation and have a method to quickly and automatically restore all the machines to an initial condition. The problem with rdist is that we can't simply rdist everything all at once on the entire filesystem -- I suspect overwriting /etc, /dev or the kernel could cause problems. ;) Another possibility -- create a bootable floppy with a small kernel, a Bourne shell and a script that NFS mounts some filesystems and copies over their contents to the local hard disks. The problem with this is that I am having a very hard time getting a floppy disk to be big enough to hold a kernel plus a Bourne shell. The FreeBSD minimal kernel is 1,085,639 bytes and the shell is about 300K. Ought to be small enough for a 1440K floppy, you say. But when I make a disk with the following commands: fdformat -f 1440 fd0.1440 disklabel -w /dev/fd0.1440 fd1440 newfs -m 0 /dev/fd0.1440 ...it turns out to only be ~880K. Out of desperation, I tried formatting the floppy with the above commands, except I used the 1720K configuration instead of the 1440. I ended up with a disk capable of holding 1137K -- still not enough. The idea of netbooting also occured to me, but it seems to require just as many resources on a floppy as the second plan. Basically, all I need is a solution for restoring these FreeBSD machines to a known configuration. Preferably in the end it will only involve me running a script and/or inserting a floppy in the drives of each machine, allowing the machine to then restore itself. Any ideas? Anyone else on this list faced a similar situation? Please respond to me directly. Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------- Steven D.

It installs the authentication mechanism for Kerberos -- Kerberos is, I think, already there, but turned off. After installing DES, you son't need to turn it on. Have you looked at Greg Lehey's "Installing FreeBSD" on www.freebsd.org? I think it covers DES in detail. I'm sorry, but I can't take the time for a remote install of DES right now; I'm not sure if it would even be legal for me to do, with the US knowledge export restrictions for cryptography. You should post to the -questions list about installing DES, and they will point you at the right place in the FAQ or handbook. You will have to change your MD5 passwords to DES passords for it to work; the MD5 passwords are too long for YP to transport, if I rememebr correctly... besides, unless you are running -current, installing DES will make passwd only accept DES. You will need to do things like install as root and then *immediately* set the root password using DES, or you will need to reboot in single user mode and edit the password out of the passwd file manually with vipw.

So, I remembered on an ancient discussion about something of loginnames bigger than 8 caracteres. So I decided to cut some caracteres from a user. Changed it from patriciak to patk. After done it, everything worked perfectly. I could login, csh, etc with that user ! So the problem was on the length of the loginname.

I don't think it will work, since it's unlikely to have compatable gate array settings. You need to set mem_end to mem_start + 64k. This should be done in whichever probe routine is coming true. Hopefully you can provide a way to uniquely and non-destructively identify the card, and just submit a probe code patch. This assumes that, unlike some cards, there is not only an 8k window to get at the memeory (in which case you want to leave it alone).

Ah. Well. That's not the kind of change that gets made there. It's the kind of change that gets made on the spur of the moment in -current. Async mounts have more to do with the low level I/O subsystem than that have to do with real changes to the FS code (though I would like to see one of the debug sysctl variables in UFS replaced by a check of the async flag and *NOT* defualted to async behaviour... an that's a discussion for the FS list).

But I wonder under which conditions a select will fail? I have opened a comport read-write and want to wait for characters to become available, so I do a: tm.tv_sec = 0; tm.tv_usec = timeout; /* timeout to wait for reply */ FD_ZERO(&readfds); /* clear the read filedescriptor set */ FD_SET(_comfd, &readfds); /* select the _comfd to wait for */ if (select(1, &readfds, NULL, NULL, &tm)) { ... ... } However, this piece of code will wait until a timeout occurs, when I replace the '&tm' with NULL, it will even wait forever. When I inspect the _comfd with ioctl(_comfd, FIONREAD, &ret) it will show me that a character is available to be read, in fact when I try to read it with read(_comfd, &ch, 1) It will read the character just fine. Are there any settings of the filedescriptor that will influence the select behaviour? Or am I overlooking something else?

Thank you in advance. ****************MY EDITED KERNEL FILE BELOW****************************** # # GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks # # GENERIC,v 1.20 1994/11/18 19:10:25 jkh Exp # machine "i386" #cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" #cpu "I586_CPU" ident GARYP maxusers 10 #options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem #options NFS #Network Filesystem options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 options UCONSOLE #X Console support options "FAT_CURSOR" #block cursor in syscons or pccons options "SCSI_DELAY=5" #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options "NCONS=4" #4 virtual consoles #options BOUNCE_BUFFERS #include support for DMA bounce buffers config kernel root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1 dumps on wd0 controller isa0 #controller pci0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 #tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 #disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 #disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 controller ncr0 #controller bt0 at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector btintr #controller uha0 at isa? port "IO_UHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector uhaintr #controller ahc0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr #controller ahb0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahbintr controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector ahaintr #controller aic0 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector aicintr #controller pas0 at isa? port 0x1f88 bio #controller sea0 at isa? bio irq 5 iomem 0xc8000 iosiz 0x2000 vector seaintr controller scbus0 device sd0 #device sd1 #device sd2 #device sd3 #device st0 #device st1 device cd0 #Only need one of these, the code dynamically grows #device wt0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 5 drq 1 vector wtintr #device mcd0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 10 vector mcdintr #device mcd1 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector mcdintr device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr #device lpt1 at isa? port? tty #device lpt2 at isa? port? tty #device de0 #device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr #device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr #device ie0 at isa? port 0x360 net irq 7 iomem 0xd0000 vector ieintr #device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr #device is0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 drq 7 vector isintr #device le0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd0000 vector le_intr #device ze0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector zeintr pseudo-device loop #pseudo-device ether pseudo-device log pseudo-device sl 2 pseudo-device pty 16 pseudo-device speaker #pseudo-device gzip # Exec gzipped a.out's *******************END OF MY KERNEL**************************************** Following message received while trying to compile the new kernel: cc -c -O -W -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wredundant-decls -I. -I../.. -I../../sys -DGARYP -DI486_CPU -DNCONS=4 -DSCSI_DELAY=5 -DFAT_CURSOR -DUCONSOLE -DCOMPAT_43 -DPROCFS -DFFS -DINET -DKERNEL -Di386 -DLOAD_ADDRESS=0xF0100000 ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c: In function `fifo_advlock': ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c:506: argument `ap' doesn't match prototype ../../miscfs/fifofs/fifo.h:76: prototype declaration *** Error code 1 Stop. ****************MAKE STOPPED AT THIS POINT********************************* Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm not sure, but I believe that the internal buffer is not directly accessible on NE2000 clones. As I understand it, the RAM is accessible via programmed I/O after setting a pointer register. (This is one of the common criticisms of the architecture: PIO isn't quite as fast as shared memory.) > You need to set mem_end to mem_start + 64k.

Again, I'm not certain, but I believe that access to the buffer does not take place via a memory window at all. --Brett From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 9 15:14:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA20782 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 15:14:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from igw.fmc.com (igw.fmc.com [192.169.1.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA20768 for ; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 15:14:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: by igw.fmc.com id AA28239 (InterLock SMTP Gateway 3.0 for questions@FreeBSD.org); Tue, 9 Apr 1996 17:14:43 -0500 Received: by igw.fmc.com (Protected-side Proxy Mail Agent-2); Tue, 9 Apr 1996 17:14:43 -0500 Received: by igw.fmc.com (Protected-side Proxy Mail Agent-1); Tue, 9 Apr 1996 17:14:43 -0500 Date: Tue, 09 Apr 96 17:14:33 cdt From: "DAVID SLOUGH" Message-Id: <9603098290.AA829091471@NSDGATE3.NSD.FMC.COM> To: msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au, dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Install HELP! - kernel panic during install Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Michael Smith stands accused of saying: >>Argh, the other thing to do is disable all the other fancy IDE stuff >>(Block mode and 32-bit mode) - I think this is mentioned somewhere >>on the floppies supplied with the board.

Since returning I have tried Mick's solutions: 1) Disable WriteBack cache 2) Chipset Setup to Auto-Detect 3) BIOS Default settings 4) Disable IDE stuff both serially and in parallel with no joy.

I have seen generally the following on VTY-2: ... last file copied... instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf01dc0ff code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b = DPL0, pres1, def 32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = 1(sysinstall) interrupt mask = bio panic codes have ranged from 1 to 50 to 84 to 141 depending on the CMOS setup prior to the crash. I have also tried with all power management stuff disabled, but to no avail. I have it on good authority that the 16MB SIMM is 70ns, but I have not verified this through testing. The CD that is attached is a NEC 6xe. It is recognized right away by the install. Are there any known problems with it? Any new thoughts are heartily welcomed...

I've heard that this has something to do with limitations in the BIOS (Int 12h?) reporting to (BootEasy???) and that I have to provide this as a boot time kernel parameter. I'll go look through the config but if you could point me in the right direction that would be cool. How do I tell FreeBSD 2.1 to use the full 128M of RAM? (A copy of the `dmesg` output is appended) Also regarding the MD5 passwd suite: I have a table of login names and plaintext passwords that I need add to one of my boxes as a set of passwd file entries. Can I get away with simply running the plaintext of the passwords through md5sum, prepending the $1$ and building the rest of the passwd entries around that (and yanking them into a vipw session)? Thanks for your indulgence.

I think I've solved my own problem (which was of my own making), and I now have the full version of Mathematica 2.2.4 for Linux working under 2.1R with a few minor hacks to the linux emulator. My problem was that I'd attempted to emulate the linux SIOCGIFHWADDR & done a very poor job of it. This was apparently corrupting Mathematica. Basically, the ioctl is supposed to return a pointer to a Linux ifreq struct & I was passing it a pointer to an array of chars. Once I cleaned this up, my problems went away. I'll be happy to pass my solution on to anybody who wants/needs it, but if you're just trying to get the standalone version of Mathematica going, you can safely ignore the missing ioctl & all should be fine. I also want to thank Chuck Robley & Rich Murphey for the help they sent me. It was much appreciated.

Why do you think you need the extra space? Have you encountered receive overruns using 16K? Remember that the card was designed to deal with the shortcomings of DOS networking. The 'ed' driver is a fairly kickass piece of code, and unless you are _really_ abusing your machine it's not going to need the extra buffering. > Will the Gateway code enable the use of the full 64K of buffer space? If > so, is the code tested and reliable? Finally, if both of the above are > true, what is the best way to cause it to be compiled in? Will an "options > GWETHER" in the kernel configuration file work? No. The GWETHER code checks the ethernet hardware address to verify that the card is indeed a Gateway card. If you have AE-3 specific documentation (or you can pry some out of Terry), then you should add code to detect it specifically, and work out how to use the extra buffering. Note that the second comment in the GWETHER memory probe loop is wrong, it should be /* Search for the end of RAM */ (not start). It's possible that this section of the probe will work on the AE-3, but without having one to hand I can't tell for sure. > --Brett -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

Yeah, check the manpage. : DIAGNOSTICS Badsect refuses to attach a block that resides in a critical area or is out of range of the file system. A warning is issued if the block is al- ready in use. ie. you have the equivalent of a bad sector in your FAT (to use DOS lingo). In the error messages you posted earlier, you also have the block number within the slice. You'll have to repartition inside the slice to avoid that block, which means a backup and reinstall if it's something important like /usr. > Richard -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

I was reading from the comments in the /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c. Search for the string "mem_end". I think you might be looking at the 3COM specific code?

The Wyse's have a mode called "scan code mode". Using an escape sequence, you can cause them to send key down/up sequences and treat them as consoles. Mouse events (if they are wired for a mouse port) are sent in band -- just like mouse events on a PS/2 port. FreeBSD should (but does not) have the ability to manage scan-code terminals and terminals with mouse capabilities. If you added it, you could fix the keyboard and mouse handling in BSD while you were at it. 8-). If you did that, then you get alt-keys and all the other nifty features, like being able to make "ctrl-alt-del" to log you out. 8-). Might even be able to run a primative X server... Per the termcap/terminfo discussion on -current, these terminals support screen page flipping and transparent printing, IFF the terminal automaton is in state zero (the ground state -- no escape processing in progress). It would be a lot of work to support that properly. 8-(. > 2) What is the best way to get the damn function and cursor keys to work > (like in pine -k)? Put the escape sequences in a termcap entry. 8-). Try putting it in non-translate mode and cat'ing the keys into a file seperated by return keys, and edit the file in vi to show the sequences. Then edit the appropriate termcap attributes for your entry. > 3) Which termcap entry should i use, or am i going to have to build my > own to get everything out of the keyboards? You will probably need to build your own. Start with the SCO or VT100 or VT200, depending on what mode your setup has your terminal in. > Any information you can supply me with, or even better some pointer to > some docs or manuals so i can learn what the hell it is that i think i'm > talking about... i'd appreciate it. I used to have some photocopied scan-code mode documentation I got under non-disclosure. I don't know what I did with them. You might want to contact Wyse directly. I had the manuals to program an emulator. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

You will need to boot single user and set a new root password -- which will be DES this time. Then you can login as root and reset the password on your other user accounts. If you were running -current, it automatically adjusts for MD5 or DES passwords in the password file.

If you are trying to FTP it, grab the directory of the program of your choice by giving "get program.tar.gz" to get the file. THis works with ftp.freebsd.org at least. 2. Unpack and enter the directory. 3. Run "make all install". The make will get the source file by itself, assuming you have a net connection. Otherwise, you'll have to get it yourself and put it in /usr/ports/distfiles. That should do it.

Installing DES after getting the system up is a _BAD_ idea, since it changes the way the system encodes your passwords. Now, your passwords are all gibberish :-) You'll have to boot -s, delete the passwords, and use passwd to add new passwords for everyone. Hopefully you don't have many users. :) And we hope you didn't set the console to insecure...

I read in the faq, that i had something messed for the geometries. i have tried it with 3-4 different geometries. Pfdisk, system setup, letting freebsd figure it out, and choosing "A" at the partition menu. None of them worked. So i tried using the osboot thing in the tools directory. i did it with boot.bin, but it didnt do anything when i rebooted. Id appreciate any comments on what im doing wrong.

Yup, it works. I think you have worked it out yourself - you get a little java with BSDI netscape 2.0 and 2.1, and you get lots of support with BSDI netscape 3. (Which despite all the reported problems works fine for me.)

One thing very interesting is with both Netscape 2.0 and Netscape 3.0 for BSDI is that it will only crash if you let it load the default homepage. If I hit the open button and then clicked on stop, everything will be fine. I can even open the default homepage manually bu typing the address in and it will work but clicking home will crash it.

My advise is not to run routed at all. It's unlikely that your ISP runs RIP service advertisement, and even if he did, default route settings would work a whole lot better and use less bandwidth.

You probably shouldn't be running routed - it's not hearing RIP from some of your interfaces and thus deletes the route to them. I'd suggest not running routed and setting up static routes instead. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 9 23:38:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA02928 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 23:38:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from boner.mrami.com (mramirez.sy.yale.edu [130.132.57.207]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA02907 for ; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 23:38:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from mrami@localhost) by boner.mrami.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id CAA07368; Wed, 10 Apr 1996 02:37:49 -0400 Date: Wed, 10 Apr 1996 02:37:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Marc Ramirez To: Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Terminal question In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 9 Apr 1996, Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe wrote: > Since i wrote this i have had great success with setting my termcap entry > to vt100, and the terminal the same... the curson keys and fuction keys > up to 10 work.. now for 11 & 12... perhaps they need to be added to the > termcap entry? > > Suggestions?

Is this a server, or just a terminal mux? The basic problem is that you're not servicing the serial interrupts quickly enough. This may be because you're doing other things that take lots of time and can't be interrupted (swapping on IDE disks is a prime cause of this). It may also just be that you're loading the machine too hard; a 16-port BOCA card can generate more traffic than the ISA bus can handle if you're running ports at 115200.

You are right but the thing is that it does the floating point exception on the Netscape 2.0 release that didn't support Java yet....

This looks to me like tcpdump is going for the wrong interface. The message tells you that you can only use this option on an Ethernet or FDDI interface. Assuming that you are really trying to trace an Ethernet interface (say, ed0), try: tcpdump -i ed0 ether host 08:00:09:d4:65:ff If that doesn't work, try tcpdump -i ed0 host gw.hq.ferg.com This should definitely work. If not, let me know the error messages. An output from netstat -i would also help.

I recently upgraded my 33MHz cpu to a DX2-80, which increased the motherboard/VLB speed to 40MHz. The system is running fine, except for the SCSI stuff. When installing from the SCSI CD-ROM, I get crc-errors during decompression, and reading 16MByte from a unmounted partition on the SCSI disk (/dev/sd0s1 for example) does not always give the same result. Slowing down to a 33MHz external clock seems to avoid the problem, but since the buslogic is supposed to support 40MHz, I'm wondering why it doesn't work.

Unfortunately there is no BSDI server available but they are very willing to port the client to FreeBSD (well ... I didn't ask about the server side) to FreeBSD ... but the BSDI version is working quite good. The people at Security Dynamics are VERY helpfull in every way. So ...

In almost every installation, this is the only ethernet interface. In your case, it obviously isn't.

Question: Can you use the tar command to > backup from / eg everything? OK, to be sure that I understand the question: you have enough space on some other disk to make a complete copy of /home, and you want to know how to do it? I'll assume that you have the disk already mounted in the file systems--if not, contact me and I'll explain that too. Let's assume that you have a file system called /home2. The name's not important, of course, but it *is* important that you don't have a file system mounted under /home (like /home/backup). There are a number of ways to do it, but I would think that the easiest is: cp -Rp /home /home2 Do this as root, and you get all the files, including hidden and device files. It copies symbolic links rather than their contents, which is probably what you want here. You can get more information with man cp Alternatives with tar and cpio are more complicated. Here's the tar version: cd /home; tar cf - . | (cd /home2; tar xf -) No, I won't go into the details of what that all does. It's in most introductory sysadmin books (Nemeth and Co. is the one to buy).

Yes. You can use it with the previous method, or you can use cpio, or pax, too: cpio: cd /dev ; find . -depth -print | cpio -o | ( cd /newdev ; cpio -id ) or another way of it: cd /dev ; find . -depth -print | cpio -pd /newdev pax: cd /dev ; find . -depth -print | pax -w | ( cd /newdev ; pax -r ) or: cd /dev ; find . -depth -print | pax -rw /newdev With pax, you have more versions, too. (As I know, cpio, dump, - and if you have - pax can save device files, but original tar not.

So I did a set of filesystem dumps to a 4mm DAT, but when I tried to do test restores of them, I got an error message ("Input/output error"). I tried about a dozen different sets of parameters but none of them, let me do a restore. So, I tried using tar instead (I did my initial installation from tape, as well as having installed a bunch of the initial software that way). I did some test tart and untars and they worked fine. So, I crossed my fingers and did a "tar -cvf /dev/rst0 /" and 15 minutes later it finished. I then went and reinstalled the machine from the 2.1 install media (the same tape I used the first time) and prepared to restore the OS to the way it had been before the reconfig. Howerver, when I attempted to untar it (using "tar -xvf /dev/rst0") I got the following error: st0: 65536-byte record too big tar: read error on /dev/rst0: Input/output error Then I got two console messages, both reading as follows: /kernel: st0 65536-byte record too big I attempted to list the contents of the tape, using "tar -tvf /dev/rst0" and that worked fine. But I was still unable to untar the contents of the tape. OS-wise, when I did the backup I was running a 2.1R kernel on a -stable OS (I'd had some PPP problems with my -stable kernel which I had planned to deal with tonight and there had been no problems with the setup up to that point). The tape drive is an HP SureStore SCSI-2 8 gig 4mm DAT drive. My hard drives are Seagate ST32550W Baraccudah 2LPs (I have 2 of them). I'm using an Adaptec 2940W as my SCSI-2 host adapter. The machine itself is a P120, with an Asus motherboard, 32 meg of RAM and a Mach64 graphics card. I recompiled my kernel hoping that might help (couldn't hurt, as it brought it closer to the way I'd had the kernel set up originally), but there are still some differences between my current kernel and the original one. The original one had the SCSI drives hardwired to their device files (i.e. SCSI device 0 was hardwired to sd0, etc).

Yes, I got it to comile, though I haven't had the chance to play with config files enough to get it working For some reason, Fvwm95 isn't linking the X11 library in. In addition, you'll also need to link in the compat library, and it didn't want to link libfvwm95.a I was able to cooerce it into all this by hand, but I haven't fixed the makefiles yet (need to learn make first). I got similar results with both make and gmake, though I *THINK* gmake made it a little farther. It helps to know that Fvwm95 is being developed under Linux, which uses gnu make, and just about everything else gnu.

What happened is that I defragged my hard drive and then used FIPS to partition my hard drive beyond my original primary DOS partiton which had a size of > 500MB. I then assumed from the discussion in 'Installing and Running FreeBSD' that I must have FreeBSD living beyond the 1024th cylinder. The truth is I failed to look at my Disk Geometry. My Windows '95 hardware summary says that I have the following geometry, 534 Cylinders 64 Heads 63 Sectors per track 512 Bytes per sector I am not quite sure I completely understand this since I have a 1.6GB hard drive and the numbers don't multiply correctly. Unless of course Windows '95 is not couning the portion that is invisible due to FreeBSD. This is probably the case and I would have to write back with the complete geometry. My question is that although I have a working version of FreeBSD installed, I am currently unable to mount my DOS partition without risking the integrity of the FreeBSD slices. When I attempt to mount, I get a message to the effect of mounted size not a multiple of root partition I am sorry I am unable to give you more detail, but I do not have access to my system at the moment to give you the precise message. I will follow this message with the correct staments. I presume that the problem lies in the way I used FIPS to split my primary DOS partition. To correct it, I guess I will have to reinstall FreeBSD using FIPS to create the extended DOS partion that has a geometry compatible with the primary partition. What do you suggest? Should I create an extended DOS partition at the 'end' of the hard disk? I would like to make it >= 500MB with a geometry compitible for mounting the large primary DOS partiton at the front of the disk.

I suspect that it depends on the BIOS: as I said in my book, the limitations stem from the maximum values that most BIOSes understand for heads, tracks and sectors.

No. As Mike Smith said, once it's up and running, you have won. I don't even think that DOS partition access should be a problem.

The problem I'm having is that while the middle button does display the menu, the menu always stays a set distance away from the mouse pointer. To access the menu, I need to push the first and third buttons and then it seems to work ok. **** The first and third buttons work under ctwm, but not with fvwm. **** I can't find a fix for this in the documentation, and wondered if anyone out there has a fix.

Bryan) Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am having problems getting my Etherlink III (3c509) card recognized by FreeBSD 2.1. I have disabled all other ethernet drivers in the kernel, including ie0. The only ethernet driver doing any probes is ep0. During the probe, I get the following messages: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0: 3c5x9 at 0x300 in test mode. Erase pencil mark! ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. epprobe: ignoring model ffff ep0 not found at 0x300 This card works fine in another system, running Linux. Looking at the FreeBSD driver, it seems that the "test mode" message is bogus, with the real problem being that it doesn't appear to be getting any useful info from the EEPROM. Nonetheless, I looked for anything that might be a test jumper or pencil mark, and found nothing. The card in question does not have a boot ROM installed. Unfortunately, I do not have any hardware manuals for this card. Any suggestions on what I might try? Thanks in advance...

I know, what I meant is first copy all the stuff to another drive then use the boot/root FreeBSD floppies and delete and create the partitions on the original drive and then just not have any distributions on hand. Then just reboot, copy all the stuff from the backup drive over and then sup to the latest -current and make world and rebuild the kernel, will this work?

At home, I want to have a PC running FreeBSD that's connected to the net over a PPP link. Simultaneously...the same household will have a Mac and a printer. I would like to be able to use the printer on both machines. It would be nice to be able to trade files between both machines. So..... (a) Should I network the Mac to the FBSD box? How? Parallel port? Could I then run CAP on the BSD box and have the printer on it, visible to the Mac? (b) Should I just get a switch for the printer and bag the network idea entirely? Swapping files would be nice but not life threatening. I'd rather avoid any herioc efforts and just get the thing working for the guy. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Can I span one filesystem across several disks? I think a filesystem can be as big as you need it. Under conventional means, you would create a separate filesystem on each disk and mount the disks. (does that sound right?) There is some work on a driver called ccd that would allow you to put those disks together into one huge disk. It's still under development and I don't have many details.

Specifically the > 21066 board There was a project to do an Alpha port, but ut was cancelled... details follow, if you are interested. Much of the code for the FreeBSD Alpha port, at least the architecture specific stuff that Jeffrey Hsu did all the work on, was integrated into the NetBSD Alpha port when the loaner machines we were using had to go back (I offered to buy mine, but no dice). Most of my code dealt with cleaning up the FreeBSD x86 architecture dependencies (console code, timer code, bus code, etc.) to get a functional HAL into FreeBSD without losing any existing features out of the code or slowing it down terribly. Since this included porting the unified VM/buffer cache code to NetBSD (basically), the incomplete code was a definite "no go" for integration into the NetBSD code, so I didn't even try to submit it. They may have taken some (trivial) graphic console changes I did, for all I know, but they probably didn't. Because CGD integrated much of Jeffrey's code, NetBSD should run on the 21066/21066A without problems. I still have a 2G disk with bootable NetBSD with integrated FreeBSD console and timer code that I bought for the port, and I ran it on 21066 hardware. I'm just about to sacrifice it (it's backed up to tape, I'm not stupid 8-)) to fully self-hosting the Motorolla Ultra 603/604 PPC port. The NetBSD Alpha code on that disk require OSF (DEC UNIX) to get installed, and requires that the system be set up for "Ultrix Microcode". Since the install is via an FS image, you would also need to hack the disk label to use it on other than a 424M drive, which is what the bootable FS image from Chris required. There is some twiddling with the partition label for the swap slice you have to specifically use the label "swap" to make NetBSD happy, and there are some "gotcha's in the FFS implementation for image compatability with OSF disklabels (a problem which will be going away shortly in FreeBSD because of upcoming devfs code). I think in general an end user would be happier with a FreeBSD installation, with bootable tape/disk/cdrom install, instead of needing to have OSF to dd the disk image on. As a hardware seller, though, you might be able to be happy with NetBSD, if you preinstall for your customers. You would need one OSF license to do the install, and as long as the microcode and boot code were there, you should be able to crank out disks with NetBSD preinstalled in a relatively short per-disk timeframe. Unfortunately, recent changes in FreeBSD's VM and other code mean that a FreeBSD port would pretty much have to start from ground zero once again, though the fact that NetBSD now runs on the box without a lot of work (thanks to a lot of work by Jeffrey and Chris) is a big plus in that direction... it would mean fighting on only one front (source integration) to get a port, instead of two (NetBSD did not run on the hardware, so the FreeBSD port required a NetBSD port followed by code integration for the shortest path). This is probably more information than you wanted. 8-). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

As far as I am aware, ppp ignores the contents of the /etc/hosts file and uses the IP addresses given to the `set ifaddr' command.

As I'm still a new user of FreeBSD, I have some questions... 1. Is there any difference between what MS-DOS calls a 'partition' and what FreeBSD calls a 'slice' ? I have my second hard disk setup with the following (MS-DOS) partitions: Partition 1: DOS Partition 2: Unused (for the moment) Partition 3: Unused (for the moment) Partition 4: FreeBSD I setup the FreeBSD slice in disktab with an 'a' partition, a 'b' partition, and of course a 'c' partition. 2. The man page isn't clear on this: are the 'offsets' in the disktab describing the partitions relative to the _slice_ and NOT the start of the entire disk? 3. Does FreeBSD automagically find the FreeBSD partition (i.e. slice) based on the entries in the MS-DOS partition table, thus enabling the FreeBSD partitions to be described and accessed with only sizes and offsets relative to the slice? For example, even though I have my FreeBSD partition/slice as number 4, is it correct to simply access the FreeBSD filesystem on my second disk as /dev/sd1a ? 4. Under /dev, I noticed entries of the form sd?s[1-4]. Do these refer to the various slices of sd0 and sd1 ? 5. My primary swap is referenced as sd0s1b. How do I reference my swap ('b' partition) on my second disk? I would guess that it might be referenced as sd1s4b - but there is no such device in /dev. Can MAKEDEV make this? If so, what option(s) should I give to MAKEDEV? 6. Is sd1s4b the "proper" way to refer to my secondary swap partition, or is sd1b okay/sufficient/the same ? I haven't tried to enable my secondary swap yet - I don't want to accidently scribble on a wrong portion of my disk! At least not until I learn how to make FreeBSD backups using my new SCSI DAT drive which I also just installed... ;-} Thank you for taking the time to help another newcomer...

Basically yes, if you *hardware reformat* your drive at the point i've marked with an (*) above. This requires a separate utility under DOS, it's NOT handled by NDD, any other Norton tool (to the best of my knowledge), or `format'.

I have an ATI Graphics Ultra Pro (Mach32) video board and a Logitech cordless mouseman problem. My XF86Config is set to a Chorded mouse. With the ctwm and fvwm windows managers, when I press the middle button on the root window, the menu window does pop up, but as I move the mouse, the window moves also (ie I can't access it). Under ctwm when I press the left and right buttons, the window also pops up, but it is now accessable, although it doesn't work. If I turn Chorded off and Emulate on then the two button press works fine. (I also have ServerNumLock set.) Anyone have any ideas on how to fix the Chorded problem so I can use the middle button???

Does your Mac have a Parallel port? I doubt it. MacPPP 2.0.1 (I think it is) works quite well as a client. You can then setup CAP as a print server with lwsrv8 (I just did this on a SS5 with a SparcPrinter, it works great. The directions are lengthy, but follow them carefully and it does great). I haven't tried this, but aufs (in CAP) could probably let share files. > (b) Should I just get a switch for the printer and bag the network > idea entirely? Swapping files would be nice but not life > threatening. This is quick if the printer is up to it. You didn't say what type of printer it is. If its a Mac printer, it might be a localtalk only printer. Then you'd have to go the CAP route and use papif to filter lpd into appletalk. > I'd rather avoid any herioc efforts and just get the thing working for the > guy. Any opinions would be appreciated. Cap is much improved from 3-4 years ago. MacPPP is simple, and you apparently already have ppp going on FBSD box. Though, I don't know what kind of things you're going to run up against having the machine as a server and a client for ppp. > Thanks, > > Brian > handy@sag.space.lockheed.com Paul. -- Paul T.

Except, it never drops the line. I have timeout set to 120. I was reading the man page and looked at ppp.conf.filter.sample, and that looks like exactly what I want. However, the man page doesn't say how to install it so ppp will look at it. I briefly looked at the source and there is no reference to ppp.conf.filter or filter.conf or ppp.filter or anything like that. So I assumed that I put it in ppp.conf. So I just appended ppp.conf.filter.sample to the end of ppp.conf. No luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Paul. -- Paul T.

If I follow the "normal" boot sequence, and press RETURN at the F1 and "Boot" prompts, then the above errors happen. If, however, I enter "-c" at the "Boot" prompt, and then just give the two UserConfig commands "ls" and "exit", the card is properly initialized during the probe. I've done about eight reboot attempts each way, and the results are consistent. Regular boot fails, "-c" with "ls" and "exit" works. I've tried various combinations of power cycling, pressing the reset switch, and "shutdown -r", and the problem does not seem to depend on the method of triggering the reboot. Any thoughts on the matter? Knowing how to get things to work, I can live with this workaround for awhile. But it is annoying, and doesn't make a lot of sense. The exact model of the card is 3c509B-TP, and I am using the 10BaseT interface.

Jay West Amanda will back up your NT and Novell servers if you use NFS server software on the NT and Novell machines so that your Unix servers can mount their drives as part of the Unix filesystems. Once this is done, Amanda will backup the NFS mounts as well and as happily as it will the normal Unix filesystems.

You can't back up Novell without losing the Novell specific data which you can ONLY see if you are using a special Netware backup program :( There was discussion a while ago (which I skipped) about backup up NT with Amanda - try askin amanda-users@cs.umd.edu (from memory).

The other 3c5xx cards I have played with have a firmware setting labelled "client mode" and "server mode". Naturally I selected "server mode". Many FreeBSD'ers have made the same choice for obvious reasons! As it turns out, the "server mode" is a way that 3com artificially throttles the number of interrupts you can get per unit time (somehow). This is to allow a novell style server to have some cycles for other things. If you set the card to "client mode" then the 3c5xx cards will process interrupts as quickly as they can, without a firmware inhibitor. So boot the dos setup tool that comes with your ethernet cards and make sure that you've selected "client mode" on all the card (assuming such a setting exists on the 3c590). Your performance should go from dismal to tolerable. :-) Regards, Mark Hittinger Netcom/Dallas bugs@freebsd.netcom.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 11 11:40:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA00367 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Apr 1996 11:40:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (palmer.demon.co.uk [158.152.50.150]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA00283 for ; Thu, 11 Apr 1996 11:40:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (sendmail/PALMER-1) with SMTP id TAA02566 ; Thu, 11 Apr 1996 19:38:57 +0100 (BST) To: Mike Eggleston cc: jlwest@tseinc.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Gary Palmer" Subject: Re: backup packages In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 11 Apr 1996 11:29:21 CDT." <199604111629.LAA12662@green.eggtech.com> Date: Thu, 11 Apr 1996 19:38:56 +0100 Message-ID: <2564.829247936@palmer.demon.co.uk> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Mike Eggleston wrote in message ID <199604111629.LAA12662@green.eggtech.com>: > Amanda will back up your NT and Novell servers if you use NFS server > software on the NT and Novell machines so that your Unix servers can > mount their drives as part of the Unix filesystems.

In all likelihood, the numbers you got are the result of an INT 13 AH=0x08, AL=0x80 (or replace 0x80 with the drive letter of choice), and represent the true BIOS geometry, ignoring all partitions.

The warning comes from the cluster size being larger than the necessary cluster size to span the total number of sectors in the post-FIPS DOS partition. You have two options: 1) Reinstall DOS/Windows95; when you do the format, the cluster size will be adjusted and the problem will go away. 2) Wait for the new version of the DOS FS; it will avoid corrupting data in the odd cluster size case. I *strongly* suggest you do the second. There is *nothing* you can do to BSD (other than installing the new DOS FS code in the kernel) that will cause the problem to "go away".

One potential workaround that may cause problems when upgrading later is to: # ln /usr/lib/libc.so.2.1 /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0 # ldconfig -m This should work because the version number was bumped when interfaces were ripped out. The 2.1 should contain all of the interfaces needed by a 3.0 application.

By setting this and a high baud rate (which performs a similar task of limiting the # of interrupts) you can cause the card to go 'too fast' for FreeBSD, causing the # of mbufs to quickly be run out. This happened on my 3C589B (PC-CARD), so I set the speed to 38400 which caused it to throttle itself because it thought the machine needed to service alot of serial interrupts.

A little experimenting with nm and grep shows that cfree is defined in libc.so.1.1 but not 2.2 (I don't have 3.0). It's also defined in libcompat.a, BTW.

Very low format. What you're usually offered as ``low-level format'' (e.g. by some BIOSes in the section ``disk utilities'') is the MFM format command. IDE drives don't obey it, all they do when being faced with it is zeroing the disk, but *not* lowlevel reformatting their surface. As i wrote: you need a separate tool by your disk vendor. There seems to be a semi-standard, so it's possible that some other tool will also work, but it must be clearly labelled as being an IDE formatting tool. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 11 15:51:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA20013 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Apr 1996 15:51:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.think.com (Mail1.Think.COM [131.239.33.245]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA19957 for ; Thu, 11 Apr 1996 15:51:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Early-Bird-1.Think.COM by mail.think.com; Thu, 11 Apr 96 18:51:09 -0400 Received: from compound.think.com ([206.10.99.158]) by Early-Bird.Think.COM; Thu, 11 Apr 96 18:51:06 EDT Received: (from alk@localhost) by compound.think.com (8.7.5/8.6.112) id RAA02514; Thu, 11 Apr 1996 17:51:07 -0500 (CDT) Date: Thu, 11 Apr 1996 17:51:07 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199604112251.RAA02514@compound.think.com> From: Tony Kimball To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: boot from sd1 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk When I try to boot from sd(1,a), one of three things will happen, depending upon circumstances which I do not entirely understand. 1) Boot to sd(0,a) The kernel will claim to have successfully changed the root device to sd(1,a), erroneously.

When I boot from 2nd IDE HD using Lilo, system comes up fine but keyboard fails to respond. I've disabled all drivers in kernel except those needed. Under input, there are only two shown - Console and Microsoft Mouse. I disabled the mouse (has PS/2 style mouse). Left , lp0, sio0, sio1, floppy, first IDE, ed0 and ep0 enabled along with Panasonic cd-rom. Set all ports, IRQs and RAM values to match the hardware. Devices get detected OK. Telnet into this machine from a Linux host works. There is one strange thing, my TERM and TERMCAP entries are set to "dumb" instead of "cons25" and I cannot get them to default to "cons25". Changing them to "cons25" works fine for the current session but that is another problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on the dead keyboard problem? Keyboard works fine with DOS/Win and Linux running on this box. Note that I also had this problem booting from the install floppy about 60% of the time. With HD, it has been 100% so far.

You don't know what slice FreeBSD is on the second disk -- it may be 1, 2, 3, or 4. You'd have to look with FDISK. Hope this helps.

I'm using 2.2-960323-SNAP on all the boxes. NFSv3 does client caching via leases. It still stats the file, but may avoid reads, until the lease period expires. Prior to that, client caching is not done. Typically, an implementation that does client caching will cause the cache to be on reads only (not writes), and it will be flushed as a result of unlock operations on file regions when locking is in effect. FreeBSD currently does not support NFS file locking, and does not make cache assumptions locally using local locking semantics. After the 4.4BSD-Lite2 integration, one change from the UCB file lock design to convert it from call through to a veto system will allow client caching and cache flushing, even if the locks are not propagated. For now, client caching isn't there. Are you trying to user this for shared memory? There are packages for distributed shared memory which operate on FreeBSD. Such an application requires a stateful cache coherency protocol (NFS is not stateful) and so inherently requires you to use a different transport (not NFS).

Had to reinstall the entire system because of problems I was having. Went back to redoing my compiler, and followed the instructions: first, make depend. During this phase got the following error message twice: cc: Internal compiler error: program cpp got fatal signal 11 However, the make depend phase continued without aborting. After this was done, I went ahead with the `make' phase. It continued for a while but then the following occurred: cc -c -O -W -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wredundant-decls -I. -I../.. -I../../sys -DGARYP -DI486_CPU -DNCONS=4 -DSCSI_DELAY=5 -DFAT_CURSOR -DUCONSOLE -DCOMPAT_43 -DPROCFS -DCD9660 -DFFS -DINET -DKERNEL -Di386 -DLOAD_ADDRESS=0xF0100000 ../../kern/kern_sig.c cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 *** Error code 1 Stop. Usually, at this point, I might type `make' again and it would continue on from this point. In this case, though, it kept spitting this same error out at this same point and aborted every time.

However, I don't know how to set that up, and I guess it's a royal pain :) You can use booteasy or OS-BS, both of which come with FreeBSD and are (probably) much superior.

But Stanford's lines are often busy, and I was thinking I might like to use my 2.0.5 setup at the office, connected to Stanford's Ethernet setup, as slip or ppp server. The documentation suggests that to run it as a ppp server, I need an ip address for it different from the ip address I have that's assigned to the Ethernet interface; and I also need an ip address for the machine at home. The slip server discussion doesn't mention this, but it does note that "options GATEWAY" needs to be in the kernel. It may be that it's just too complicated to make the office machine work as a server, but I would be interested in comments on which would be likely to work better and whether I really do need additional ip addresses.

I was having a lot of trouble with those a little while back. I was playing with different BIOS options and found that that will definately do it! What I did to fix it was to go into my BIOS (AMI 486slc66) and enable hidden and something(slow) refresh. I don't know exaclty, but I think that those are the options to have the memory refreshed after certain periods of time. That seemed to solve alot of my problems... -Timothy Ps.

There (last time I peeked) were a few un-escaped @ symbols, but the most nasty bug and the one it sounds like you're describing, is that majordomo will go in to a memory-eating loop and chew your system if it can't write to its logfile. With majordomo and problems, the order of things is "check the permissions, check them again, do it a few more times, and then see what else may be wrong." Check your permissions. :) The only other "bugs" i've found that will cause it to eat memory are some infinite mail-looping possibilities which get it in to a game of tag with syslog and an ever-increasing message length. -Dave Andersen Lo and behold, John A.

I build Internet Service Providers here in Brazil using FreeBSD. I think you are right thinking in linking your home computer to your office computer using FreeBSD. Hints: 1) build a "small" kernel with pppd enabled suposing your office computer is not SCSI...(config file in attached message) 2) install the file /etc/ppp/options 3) build & boot from the new kernel. 4) install a v32 modem in one of the com ports 5) enable it on the /etc/ttys, configuring the modem to auto answer. At home: 1) install FreeBSD with a "simillar" config file. 2) get an valid IP number & install in this machine, install modem & boot.

Probably either the Iomega Zip or Syquest EZ-135. I've looked through the mail archives but I'm still not sure exactly what the situation is with these drives and FreeBSD. So here are all my questions in one place -- sorry if any of these are FAQs. - I assume both of these drives will work (reasonably) happily under FreeBSD (currently 2.0.5, soon to be 2.1)? If either of them won't, please let me know before I do something stupid :) - I guess they would work like a floppy or CDROM drive, so you can mount/unmount and change disks without any problems? - The disks can be formatted as UFS? In past experience with Syquests the cartridges had to be formatted using a special program that I guess would run under DOS (and leave you with a FAT format disk). - Backups (using dump/restore) will work? Over multiple volumes? - I don't currently have a SCSI adapter, and it's hard to justify spending ~200 pounds for a decent VLB adapter, on my student budget, for a device that won't be in constant use. I know it's probably a sad and tragic device, but will the so-called ZipZoom adapter (bundled with the drive for almost no money) do the job under FreeBSD? I read somewhere that it's just a re-labelled low-end Adaptec so I guess it would work fine. - There is an IDE version of the EZ-135. I don't really want to go any further down the IDE road, but is here any chance that it might work? That's all, I think. Sorry about the volume of questions, but I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here it is: FTP installation from a 2.1 CD does not work, because the directory layout on FTP servers (which is assumed when installing over F= TP) differs from the layout on the 2.1 CD. The CD keeps all the distributio= n directories in the "dists" directory, while the FTP archives keep them directly under the root. Hence the position relative to the "floppies" directory is not the same, and installation fails to locate files. A few symbolic links was one way to solve the problem, and get back to t= he usual installs-like-a-dream-in-less-than-15-minutes situation.

If you look at the performance curve for any packet transmission test, it looks a lot like the one in the enclosed PostScript graph: there's a region where the performance is local-CPU-bound, and there's a region where the performance is bound by the wire speed. If you get WAY out to the end of the curve, where every packet is close to the MTU, you can generate about 75 Mbit/s in my experiments. The graph should packet generation rates; as a general rule, packet forwarding is a lot cheaper than packet generation or reception; my P133 is straining mightily to generate 55000 packets per second out the discard and with UDP checksums disabled. The IP forwarding path should be somewhat cheaper, although this is balanced by the fact that you need to receive the packets in addition to sending them. (The green `theoretical' line in the graph is somewhat suspect as we couldn't find any references for the Fast Ethernet IPG and preamble lengths.) I am presently employed in finding ways to make all aspects of packet handling faster. -GAWollman ------------------------------------cut here----- %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Creator: gnuplot %%DocumentFonts: Helvetica %%BoundingBox: 50 50 554 770 %%Pages: (atend) %%EndComments /gnudict 40 dict def gnudict begin /Color true def /Solid true def /gnulinewidth 5.000 def /vshift -46 def /dl {10 mul} def /hpt 31.5 def /vpt 31.5 def /M {moveto} bind def /L {lineto} bind def /R {rmoveto} bind def /V {rlineto} bind def /vpt2 vpt 2 mul def /hpt2 hpt 2 mul def /Lshow { currentpoint stroke M 0 vshift R show } def /Rshow { currentpoint stroke M dup stringwidth pop neg vshift R show } def /Cshow { currentpoint stroke M dup stringwidth pop -2 div vshift R show } def /DL { Color {setrgbcolor Solid {pop []} if 0 setdash } {pop pop pop Solid {pop []} if 0 setdash} ifelse } def /BL { stroke gnulinewidth 2 mul setlinewidth } def /AL { stroke gnulinewidth 2 div setlinewidth } def /PL { stroke gnulinewidth setlinewidth } def /LTb { BL [] 0 0 0 DL } def /LTa { AL [1 dl 2 dl] 0 setdash 0 0 0 setrgbcolor } def /LT0 { PL [] 0 1 0 DL } def /LT1 { PL [4 dl 2 dl] 0 0 1 DL } def /LT2 { PL [2 dl 3 dl] 1 0 0 DL } def /LT3 { PL [1 dl 1.5 dl] 1 0 1 DL } def /LT4 { PL [5 dl 2 dl 1 dl 2 dl] 0 1 1 DL } def /LT5 { PL [4 dl 3 dl 1 dl 3 dl] 1 1 0 DL } def /LT6 { PL [2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 4 dl] 0 0 0 DL } def /LT7 { PL [2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 4 dl] 1 0.3 0 DL } def /LT8 { PL [2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 2 dl 4 dl] 0.5 0.5 0.5 DL } def /P { stroke [] 0 setdash currentlinewidth 2 div sub M 0 currentlinewidth V stroke } def /D { stroke [] 0 setdash 2 copy vpt add M hpt neg vpt neg V hpt vpt neg V hpt vpt V hpt neg vpt V closepath stroke P } def /A { stroke [] 0 setdash vpt sub M 0 vpt2 V currentpoint stroke M hpt neg vpt neg R hpt2 0 V stroke } def /B { stroke [] 0 setdash 2 copy exch hpt sub exch vpt add M 0 vpt2 neg V hpt2 0 V 0 vpt2 V hpt2 neg 0 V closepath stroke P } def /C { stroke [] 0 setdash exch hpt sub exch vpt add M hpt2 vpt2 neg V currentpoint stroke M hpt2 neg 0 R hpt2 vpt2 V stroke } def /T { stroke [] 0 setdash 2 copy vpt 1.12 mul add M hpt neg vpt -1.62 mul V hpt 2 mul 0 V hpt neg vpt 1.62 mul V closepath stroke P } def /S { 2 copy A C} def end % Define the array ISOLatin1Encoding (which specifies how characters are % encoded for ISO-8859-1 fonts), if it isn't already present (Postscript % level 2 is supposed to define it, but level 1 doesn't). systemdict /ISOLatin1Encoding known not { /ISOLatin1Encoding [ /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /exclam /quotedbl /numbersign /dollar /percent /ampersand /quoteright /parenleft /parenright /asterisk /plus /comma /minus /period /slash /zero /one /two /three /four /five /six /seven /eight /nine /colon /semicolon /less /equal /greater /question /at /A /B /C /D /E /F /G /H /I /J /K /L /M /N /O /P /Q /R /S /T /U /V /W /X /Y /Z /bracketleft /backslash /bracketright /asciicircum /underscore /quoteleft /a /b /c /d /e /f /g /h /i /j /k /l /m /n /o /p /q /r /s /t /u /v /w /x /y /z /braceleft /bar /braceright /asciitilde /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /space /dotlessi /grave /acute /circumflex /tilde /macron /breve /dotaccent /dieresis /space /ring /cedilla /space /hungarumlaut /ogonek /caron /space /exclamdown /cent /sterling /currency /yen /brokenbar /section /dieresis /copyright /ordfeminine /guillemotleft /logicalnot /hyphen /registered /macron /degree /plusminus /twosuperior /threesuperior /acute /mu /paragraph /periodcentered /cedillar /onesuperior /ordmasculine /guillemotright /onequarter /onehalf /threequarters /questiondown /Agrave /Aacute /Acircumflex /Atilde /Adieresis /Aring /AE /Ccedilla /Egrave /Eacute /Ecircumflex /Edieresis /Igrave /Iacute /Icircumflex /Idieresis /Eth /Ntilde /Ograve /Oacute /Ocircumflex /Otilde /Odieresis /multiply /Oslash /Ugrave /Uacute /Ucircumflex /Udieresis /Yacute /Thorn /germandbls /agrave /aacute /acircumflex /atilde /adieresis /aring /ae /ccedilla /egrave /eacute /ecircumflex /edieresis /igrave /iacute /icircumflex /idieresis /eth /ntilde /ograve /oacute /ocircumflex /otilde /odieresis /divide /oslash /ugrave /uacute /ucircumflex /udieresis /yacute /thorn /ydieresis ] def } if % Override the setfont procedure with a new procedure that re-encodes % the font to use the ISO Latin-1 style.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello All; I am attempting to port x48, the hp-48g/x calculator emulator to freebsd. The job is almost finished, excepting one line of code, that pertains to the serial port. ( For those who may not know, the hp48 has a serial port built in, and uses kermit to control it. really. ) The line is this: ttybuf.c_cflag &= ~CBAUD; in this snippet of code from a file called serial.c struct termios ttybuf; ... ttybuf.c_cflag &= ~CBAUD; baud &= 0x7; switch (baud) { case 0: /* 1200 */ ttybuf.c_cflag |= B1200; break; case 1: /* 1920 */ #ifdef B1920 ttybuf.c_cflag |= B1920; #endif break; case 2: /* 2400 */ ttybuf.c_cflag |= B2400; break; ... This case set ( it goes on much further then this, but that didnt help my point.. ) sets the serial port baud rate, i assume. I further assume that the CBAUD that allows one to change the baud rate. Given the ifdefs in the code previous to this point, it appears that this is supported by both sysV ( linux, irix, hpux, solaris ) boxes and sunos ( gee, only one bsd box... urp! ) Is this a "permission vector" that our paradigm does not make use of? Can I just #ifndef(__FreeBSD__) around it? Or is there some moral equivalent in our tty flag structure that i have missed out on in my perusings of the various tty related include files? tnx! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 12 09:50:53 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA17548 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Apr 1996 09:50:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from karon.dynas.se (karon.dynas.se [192.71.43.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA17541 for ; Fri, 12 Apr 1996 09:50:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from host.domain by karon.dynas.se with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0u7m3c-000EUaC; Fri, 12 Apr 96 18:50:48 +0200 Received: by spirit.dynas.se (Smail3.1.28.1 #32) id m0u7m3c-000JeVC; Fri, 12 Apr 96 18:50:48 +0200 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Path: karon.dynas.se!not-for-mail From: mikko@dynas.se (Mikko Tyolajarvi) Newsgroups: local.freebsd-questions Subject: Re: CD-ROM vs FTP Layout (Was: Intel Endeavor install problems (639K != 640K -> SIG 11)) Date: 12 Apr 1996 18:50:47 +0200 Organization: Dynasoft AB Lines: 44 Message-ID: <4km1l7$7r3@spirit.dynas.se> References: <4judc4$cb1@spirit.dynas.se> <4klkfa$4bp@spirit.dynas.se> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quoted-Printable Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Following up to myself again. Spare yourself the trouble of bothering with this.

At any rate, there was no response and I haven't been able to fix this myself... I've had these mail problems for most of the time that I've run FreeBSD. Incoming or outgoing mail has disappeared and not been delivered. ((Yes, I do read the mail from root, and I eventually found the missing mail in /var/spool/mqueue.)) For a brief time, few days to a week or so, the hackings to the mail setup at work did seem to fix things. But since they've installed a new, improved sendmail, my home FBSD feed has been hosed. ---It may be a combination of the sendmail/mail setup at work plus my home system, or it may be my home BSD setup entirely. I don't know, and nothing that I seem to do fixes this. The nutshell version of the problem is that all mail gets shoved into /var/spool/mqueue. Sending test mail to `kline@tao.thought.org' while logged in as `kline' suggests that sendmail is looking for `tao.thought.org' as a site somewhere out on the net; that it doesn't know that it already *is* my box. How do I tell sendmail (or rmail??) to deliver my mail to my box or mail to tao.thought.org to itself?? I have tried various mods to /etc/hosts without success. Likewise with changes to /etc/sendmail.cf. So far, no luck. If anyone has had similar snafus and fixed them, _please_ clue me in!!

FreeBSD itself will suport any video card, including monochrome. :-) A more appropriate question would be: Does XFree86 support the #9 Imagine 128? The answer to that question would be: Possibly. I noticed a beta X server for that card when I was looking at the X for OS/2 stuff. It may be in development.

DOS doesn't allow the long filenames necessary for the packages. If you look at them, they have a name like someport-1.0.tgz; but on the DOS filesystem it looks like someport.-1. So you'll have to add the packages manually, which isn't hard (pkg_add /path/to/package.tgz).

[intentional all caps] Jordan, but the thing is that sysinstall (at least when I worked on it, back in 2.0.5) worked no matter if it was a CDROM used over FTP or NFS, as it tried to go into the dists dir and recorded the fact that it didn't exist (if necessary) for later use...

It seemed to me that BSD attempts to install a bit of itself onto each and every physical harddrive. Is this true? I don't think it actually did this but some clarification would be nice. Anyways.

But since you were only able to answer some of my questions, could I hear from someone else the answer to the other questions (repeated below)? Thanks! Gary I have my second hard disk setup with the following slices: Slice 1: DOS Slice 2: Unused (for the moment) Slice 3: Unused (for the moment) Slice 4: FreeBSD I setup the FreeBSD slice in disktab with an 'a' partition, a 'b' partition, and of course a 'c' partition. 2. The man page isn't clear on this: are the 'offsets' in the disktab describing the partitions relative to the _slice_ and NOT the start of the entire disk? 5. My primary swap is referenced as sd0s1b. How do I reference my swap ('b' partition) on my second disk? I would guess that it might be referenced as sd1s4b - but there is no such device in /dev. Can MAKEDEV make this? If so, what option(s) should I give to MAKEDEV? 6. Is sd1s4b the "proper" way to refer to my secondary swap partition, or is sd1b okay/sufficient/the same ? I haven't tried to enable my secondary swap yet - I don't want to accidently scribble on a wrong portion of my disk!

I installed the X-User cluster from the Express menu, using a local SCSI CD-ROM as my media. I then installed the DES package (all pieces) from the Custom menu, using a filesystem on a local server via nfs as my media. (The install directory on the server contains more than the DES install files). The server is on the same subnet as the machine being installed. After both installs, I checked the network interfaces section of the Configuration menu. The information I had entered for the server which made the nfs install possible (i.e. IP addr, nameserver IP addr, gateway IP addr, netmask value) was still in the menu, and it was correct. After the system rebooted when I exited the installation, the network did not come up configure properly. The netmask was wrong (ff000000) among other things. After several attempts, I discovered that if I performed the exact same steps as above, except that I installed the X-User cluster from NFS from that same fileserver, my result was different. After the reboot after installation, the machine came up with the correct network configuration. I tracked down the problem - the line in /etc/sysconfig which should read ifconfig_de0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" was missing after the first install above, but present after the second. I believe this is a bug, since all the other information that I entered (such as hostname, host's IP addr, defaultrouter) did get placed in /etc/sysconfig.

Unfortunately, I am not having any success getting FreeBSD to configure the interface. It finds lnc1 and considers it an option under FTP install, but it fails to initialize the card. When checking out the progress reports on ttyv2, I get 'lnc1: Inisitalisation failed' after the ifconfig line, but then after this it claims the exit status of ifconfig was 0! ifconfig issues no warnings when I run it manually. Any suggestions?

Some issues came up . . . Version: 2.1.0 - I could not get pkg_add to work, nor could I get the packages added from sysinstall. I ended up writing my own pkg extractor in csh, which worked just fine. The problem, as Dave Rivers (local evangalist) managed to diagnose later, was that the scripts depend on the file names ending in ".tar.gz" which, of course, they don't do when they come from a dos partition. - It was very hard to figure out much about the above failure because lots of the doc is in HTML, but lynx is a package, so of course I couldn't get it until I could get the packages, so I couldn't read the doc until I had already read it, as it were. - The FAQ on SLIP and PPP has a link to the outside world, which is more than a bit annoying when one is reading it in order to figure out how to connect to the outside world, similar to the above problem. - Finally, I had trouble with the partition editor; I was trying to first use (a) to get a default. Then I wanted to make the /usr partition a little bigger at the expense of the swap partition (which it wanted to make 43M by default for some reason). So I deleted the swap and /usr partitions, allocated a swap of 32M, and then tried to allocate /usr partition as big as the remaining space, and I couldn't. I ended up just living with the defaults, but wonder why my approach didn't cut it. -- Brian T. Schellenberger, the Man from Babble-On.

I sum up briefly what was the matter and what now is. Hardware: --------- Above motherboard with firmware 0304 2940 controller with firmware 1.11 1 SIMM 16 Megs 60 Ns 1,080 Gb IBM Scsi-2 Cirrus Logic 5430 (pci) ISA Ethernet Combi Trust (PnP) Problem: -------- Hardware randomly hangs, reads/writes corrupt with CD drive and HDD, while installing FreeBSD and, as a tentative fall back, DOS 6.21. I've tried with no success to: ------------------------------ - Disable on board IDE controller - Disable PnP on the Ethernet Card - Do a regression with older Asus firmware, back to 0202, to avoid any PnP board capability - Assign IRQ 14 to the Pci slot where the 2940 was plugged in I was about to swap the IBM disk with a Fujitsu, when I tried to swap the postions of the two pci boards. Original was: Slot#1 CL 5430 Slot#3 2940 Changed in: Slot#1 2940 Slot#3 CL 5430 and suddenly every problem disappeared, FreeBSD and then DOS. WHICH CONCLUSIONS? ------------------ The 2940 is a busmaster card so, please do tell me, it should fit into suitable busmaster supported slot. However nothing I know about the CL5430 taken from the bulk. Nevertheless, the Asus installation guide repeats that any pci slot would support busmastering on such board. Apart from the solution I've find out, any light out there? Could it be not really a compatibility problem of 2940 with the motherboard, but actually an issue between the two pci boards?

The man page states: It's not designed for PTP interfaces. Using route -interface causes the system to ARP for all destinations on that interface. It's good for talking to ethernets with gateways that proxy-arp but are prone to moving (or going down) without having to resort to running a routing daemon. > Archie L.

I have an Adapetc 2940 and a CL-GD5434 PCI video card, also. I encountered this problem when trying to get 16bit colour from the video card. For that I needed to map directly to the video card's memory buffer. Doing this caused instant system crashes. The cause was shown to me by the 'scanpci' program which comes with X11R6. It turned out that both PCI cards were claiming the _same_ memory space. It also appears that they calculate (internally) the address of that space by some sort of offset*slot-number calculation. The offset is not user- definable for either card, and these two particular cards mapped over each other as I had them originally installed. As with your case, swapping the slots cleared up my problem.

You need the FreeBSD 'pixmap' port or package. If you're still nervous about building things, get the package. For 2.1 you need xpm-3.4f.tgz which is in .../packages/x11. Use pkg_add on that, and your problems should be over. > FreeBSD, but I'm not really sure. > > Dave > > Your error message is actually useful and correct. The 'magic number' appears at the beginning of the file, and helps the system know what to do with it. For instance, many shell scripts begin with '#!' which tells the system to use the string following (usually /bin/sh) as the command interpreter to run the following script through. Binary files (such as executable programs and the shared library you were having trouble with) also have magic numbers which help the system to make sure its doing the right thing. If it finds an unexpected magic number, it barfs. Fortunately Linux uses different magic numbers from FreeBSD, so the system avoided doing something unpleasant by executing a shared library which would probably have crashed messily.

Yesterday I decided to add a Sony SCSI CD-ROM to the system. Thinking that it should just plug in and work (after reading the handbook), I shutdown the system, plugged in the drive and rebooted. When the kernel startup got to identifying the SCSI devices it saw everything, but produced the following output: cd0(ahc1:3:0): CD-ROM cd0(ahc1:3:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:20,0 cd0(ahc1:3:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed cd present.[400000 x 2048 byte records] swapon: adding /dev/sd0s1b as swap device Automatic reboot in progress... /dev/rsd0a: clean, 42862 free (6 frags, etc Can't open /dev/rsd2s1e: Device not configured /dev/rsd2s1e: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM. /dev/rsd2s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. Automatic file system check failed... help! Now, I looked at the above and thought that I forgot to put "device cd0" in the kernel, so after recompiling the kernel and running "MAKEDEV cd0" it still didn't work. As soon as I unplug the CD-ROM though, everything runs smoothly. Now, my thought is that I have to try and stop the boot process from autochecking the CD-ROM, as it doesn't need checking as such... Or do I need to whack something into /etc/disktab?
