Why are most binaries in the system mutiples of 512bytes? Is this because the filesystem is based on disk blocks (of 512k)? 2. What are all the files in the /stand for/do, they seem awful big and are all the same size, which is kind of odd. (to me anyway :-) ) 3. Where could I find out more about the booting process (sysconfig, rc.*, init , etc..) I know SVR4 pretty well, but can't seem to get a good conceptual grasp on *BSD based booting. 4. Is the 4.4BSD documentation set (5 books) any good?

If not I recommend you get "The Unix Companion" by Harley Hahn ISBN 0-07-882149-5 or any other Unix intro book. If all you need to lear are FreeBSD specifics then you could start with The complete FreeBSD reference as Nadav Eiron suggested. If you have web access from your Windows box then chech the FAQ and online Documentation at http://www.freebsd.org. By looking at those you can print the sections you need when needed. Good luck!

What with XF86Config, startx, .xinitrc, .Xresources, etc. there are a lot of places to change things. What I want to do is make the 800x600 8 bit color the default when I start X. I have experimented with CTL-ALT- and found that to be the most pleasing to the eye. The system currently comes up in an 1152x864 mode and I am not sure how to tell what depth it is running. I want to keep the two higher screen resolutions available via CTL-ALT-, but want it to start up in 800x600. Also, anyone know how to speed up the mouse a little? It's a PS/2 and needs a little acceleration in XF86. Thanks in advance. - Kenp.

In your /etc/XF86Config, edit the "Modes" line for the 8-bit option on your video card. It should read something like --> Modes "800x600" "1152x864" "1024x768" <-- Or whatever order you would like the different resolutions to come up in when you cycle through them with CTRL-ALT-. Note: There are a lot default settings in this file, be sure you edit the correct section. > Also, anyone know how to speed up the mouse a little? It's a PS/2 and > needs a little acceleration in XF86. Put a line in your .xinitrc (or .xsession if you use xdm) that reads something like "xset m 4". You can replace that 4 with any number you want. The higher the number, the faster the acceleration.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I was recently experimenting with the FreeBSD accounting capabilities and was attempting to use the 'ac' command. From the manual page I see that 'ac' reads from the 'wtmp' file in the var directory (sorry I don't recall the default path). The file is nonempty and from looking at it from a binary editor, I can see that it contains the type of information that ac is supposed to give. However whenever I use that 'ac' command (as a regular user or as root), all I ever get is Total 0.00 This doesn't seem right to me. Can anybody explain what might be going wrong? I'm running FreeBSD-2.2.1 on a P133 Canon Innova Book 490CDT. I have a P100 desktop as well running the same FreeBSD version. I'll test it for the same problem tonight. Does this seem to be a bug for which I should go through more formal channels with the FreeBSD development team?

I've been trying every possible approach to this problem but to no avail. This host is on an ethernet with two ethernet cards, 3c950 and 3c905. The sole purpose with this configuration is to allow hosts on the inside network to connect to the outside network. I've added IPDIVERT and IPFIREWALL as options i the kernel config file, and configured ipfw to divert incoming traffic to a chosen port and run natd on that particular port. natd -verbose doesn't say anything either, but inspecting the divert rule accounting figures with ``ipfw -a l'' after some time shows that the kernel diverting mechanisms really are working. I made a small program which basically did sock = socket(...,IPPROTO_DIVERT); bind(sock, ...); read(sock, buff, BUFSIZ); but no data was ever read from the socket. IP firewall divert rules were present. -aage From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 18 12:31:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA08305 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 18 May 1997 12:31:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from geocities.com (mail.geocities.com [204.7.246.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA08300 for ; Sun, 18 May 1997 12:31:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [206.173.71.102] (cnc034102.concentric.net [206.173.71.102]) by geocities.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA03209; Sun, 18 May 1997 12:16:22 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199705181916.MAA03209@geocities.com> Subject: Re: PPP Setup Date: Sun, 18 May 97 15:26:38 -0400 x-sender: pgardella@mail.geocities.com x-mailer: Claris Emailer 1.1 From: Patrick Gardella To: "Joseph Stein" , Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >> I am trying to setup PPP (user process) on my FreeBSD box (2.2.1).

Thanks for the note Joseph. I am beginning to think that this is a modem problem again. When I am in term mode, I have to hit RETURN twice to get the result code. The display is always one character behind, as well. So if I type ath, I can only see at until I hit return. Then I can see ath, but I have to hit return again to display the result code. When I do connect, (using PPP term or seyon). I have to hit return to see what the other computer is sending to me. It doesn't just flow across the screen like it should. It comes in chunks (like 12 characters at a time) as I hit random characters to make it display. This is confirmed in the PPP log (See below). It sends AT expecting an OK in return. It gets nothing. It sends the atdt command, and in return it gets the OK it was expecting for the AT. When it connects, the script doesn't see anything, becuase it hasn't sent a character to make it see it. So it can't go on! I've tried fiddling with the CR/LF setup to no avail. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

SCSI problems usually show up as transaction timeouts, not integer divide panics. The fact that your filesystem needs to be fscked at boot is simply a consequence of the crash. The next thing for you to do is to find out what routine the instruction pointer is in. Doing an "nm /kernel | sort" will do that for you. The next step is to put DDB into your kernel (options DDB + *full* kernel rebuild) so you can provide a stack trace the next time it happens. My gut feeling is that you shouldn't be overclocking your P6 and that this is the cause of your problem. Overclocking issues are usually very load dependant, and different versions of FreeBSD have different memory/cache load characteristics. You might want to try putting it back to where it's supposed to be to see if this clears up your problem. -- Justin T.

I have a script that works just fine for this task, however on those occasions that the process is not running and it needs to start it, I get some unusual leftovers from cron that I would like to eliminate, or at least verify to be non-harmful. In the following script, adjkerntz is the guinea pig process (since I don't want to kill the one I'm actually testing for :), however the behaviour is the same. System is 2.2.1-Release. Here is the script: #!/bin/sh /bin/ps -ax | /usr/bin/grep [a]djkerntz if [ $? = 1 ] ; then /sbin/adjkerntz -i fi Here is the cron job: */2 * * * * root /home/root/test.sh And here is the result when it has to start the process: 6591 ?? I 0:00.01 CRON (cron) 6592 ?? Z 0:00.00 (sh) 6598 ?? Is 0:00.01 /sbin/adjkerntz -i A kill for 6591 in this example also eliminates the zombie (sh) process, and the ghost CRON thinger doesn't seem to have any adverse affect on the system, however I don't want to take chances since the whole point of this is to have it run safely unattended. I'm open to other ways to do the test for the process (that don't involve the .pid file), however I don't think that that part of the script is the problem, since I can do the test all day long and it won't cause that ghost CRON whether the test fails or succeeds. It's only when cron actually starts the process that I get that. The script works from the command line without problems as well. Finally, if anyone has a clever ways to stop cron from mailing me every 5 minutes to tell me it did nothing I'd love to hear them. Also, my apologies if I'm missing something painfully obvious here, I've read everything I could find and talked to several people who have a lot of experience with sh scripts, and they were just as mystified as I am.

I would like to get into some more serious software development on FreeBSD, but I need to learn some of the basics. For now, I was wondering how some of the complex makefiles I see in the FreeBSD ports are generated. Does the developer actually do this by hand? That is, is the developer just an expert in the pseudo-language of makefiles? Or is there some king of ascii-based or GUI development tool available for UNIX that generates makefiles based on compiling options and the like? I would really be surprised if makefile generation is done totally by hand, since it seems so mundane and you don't really "seem" to learn alot from doing it. It would seem to me to almost certainly be a process that can be automated. Also, does anyone know of any integrated development environments for UNIX (FreeBSD) that would closely approximate some of the capabilities of the Borland C++ Builder or the Borland Delphi development environments?

Some of you suggested that the CDROM(Matsushita CDROM/Panasonic Drive CR-563, connected to a soundcard) is not supported by the GENERIC kernel therefore I need to rebuild the kernel. I need to consult the manual to find how. In the meantime, if anyone out there who has successfully mounted this kind CDROM, could you please let me know the procedure ? thanks Can anyone please also tell me a type of CDROM (model, type etc) which has been proven to work with FreeBSD without any problem ?. (if I fail again, I may just buy one which is known to work). One mystery during my installation (by DOS partition): If I bootup the machine using the bootup disk (made from the CD), when I select DOS as installation medium, the error message says: DOS partition could not been found (something like that). If I bootup by using a DOS boot disk then lanuch the installation from the CD (which I can see from DOS), then everything went on very smoothly. (there are several different instruction on how to make FreeBSD boot disk. I tried all of them but ended with the same results).

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

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

I installed the software, as described in the Install.txt file, and also installed the boot manager, as I am running Windows 95 as well as FreeBSD. However, at the moment I have a problem, when FreeBSD boots it is reporting that it cannot mount the root directory, the actual error message is: "Panic: Cannot Mount Root". Then it reboots the computer. I have little idea as to what is going on here, is there a problem with the way I installed the software or is my system configuration set wrong? I have 2 hard disks split into 4 partitions. DOS/Win95 is on the first partition of the first drive, FreeBSD is on the second partition of the second drive. This partition is about 500 meg in size. Also, can you install only the binary files from a floppy disk installation, as I couldn't find a way to install anything else than the binaries from floppy disks. I'd be greatful for any help you can offer regarding the problems I'm having.

You may also be getting a message from login that "imported path has relative components" (or some such -- I'm at home & not near the 2.2.2 machine). I was able to fix both problems by creating the file "/etc/login.conf" (I *think* it's that but might be /etc/login.config -- again, not near machine which isn't on the net yet -- look at the login man page for referenced files, then look at the man page for login.conf (5) ).

We regularly run 2,400 clients (each with one fd) and during times when ircd is busy processing a network resynch, name resolution for incoming clients fails completely. We are still looking into the details, but I would like to add to the urgency of the request for the FreeBSD authors to look into this problem. I do have a caution however. Approximately one hour after running the test program provided with this PR, our test platform crashed, and became completely unreachable from the internet. We won't be able to restart it till tomorrow am, so we won't know till then for sure whether this program was responsible, but in 8 months of operation something like this has never happened. I am not suggesting that the originator of this PR had any malicious intent in any way. I do suggest however that you don't run this program unless you have handy access to the console. We will be happy to share any details or results we get from further testing, and hope that others will post the same to the list.

Because the second disk on the 2.1.5 FreeBSD was damaged CDROM replaced the disks with 2.2.1 FreeBSD. The 2.1.5 version worked great, xdm and twm, no bugs. However many programs were not available. The following patches were necessary in order to start xdm and twm using version 2.1.5 FreeBSD. In /etc/rc.local, the following was added: echo -n 'starting local daemons:' # put your local stuff here /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm && echo -n ' twm' The following .xsession file was added #!/bin/sh # # .xinitrc - X Windows initialization file, FreeBSD/twm version. # Wes Peters; 05/25/95 # # Run .profile to make sure we get the environment setup correctly. # . ~/.profile TZ=MST7MDT; export TZ # # Start clients - just a terminal window to start with. # xterm & # # Start a window manager - twm to start with. This program becomes the # 'session manager', exit from it to logout from X. # twm Starting from a "clean" slice I wish to install fvwm95. Installation of the window manager program fvwm95 using the above commands is not working. fvwm95 replaced twm whenever it appears. The symptoms are the xdm login screen appears allowing login. Then a blank screen appears, no window, only the fvwm95 menu appears after clicking the right mouse button (default menu and exit buttons). The error message in the -xsession-errors file reads Fvwm-95: in function Read: <>file ' .fvwm95rc' not found in $HOME or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 Fvwm-95:in function Read: trying to read system rc file Fvwm-95: in function Read:<> file 'system.fvwm95rc' not found in $HOME or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 Both 'system.fvwm95rc' and '.fvwm95rc' are present in the $HOME directory. Also, there is recurring error message, ' XF86_SVGA pid ### tried to use non present SYSVSHM ' the message is displayed whenever logging out. Could someone please help me to setup the fvwm95 correctly and remedy the XF86_SVGA error message?

I'm pretty sure this already is in the GENERIC config file: controller matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio If not, place it in your config file before rebuilding.

Assuming that goes well, put a line similar to this in /etc/fstab: /dev/matcd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 You can find more info with "man fstab" On the command line when the cd drive is needed: mount /cdrom There are variants on this, but the above works fine. Good luck to you, I hope it works out. I had a hard time reading a CD as "full" as the FreeBSD distribution. Seems that I would get read errors trying to read the higher numbered tracks. (Can't pinpoint what number). I installed 2.2.1 over 2.2 flawlessly using sysinstall, but discovered later, trying to access certain files the thing would give me countless read errors, then give up. Walnut Creek even sent me a replacement set of CD's, thinking that I received a bad pressing, and I got the same results. Either a limitation on the matcd driver, or possibly (I doubt it) a bad drive. Well, anyway, I'd be interested to see how your results are. If you do get the thing mounted, try installing the lyx package. That gave me all kinds of grief. I got rid of the Matsushita drive, and sprung for a Goldstar 8x IDE drive. I installed it, and my CD problems are finished. ____ | _ \ | |_) |_ __ _ _ __ _ _ __ | _ <| '__| | | |/ _` | '_ \ ====================== | |_) | | | |_| | (_| | | | | = Powered by FreeBSD = |____/|_| \__, |\__,_|_| |_| ====================== __/ | |___/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 19 02:43:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA11924 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 May 1997 02:43:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from helbig.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de (helbig.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de [141.31.166.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA11919 for ; Mon, 19 May 1997 02:43:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from helbig@localhost) by helbig.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA01503; Mon, 19 May 1997 11:14:45 +0200 (MET DST) From: Wolfgang Helbig Message-Id: <199705190914.LAA01503@helbig.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de> Subject: Re: "unknown class" errors In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.32.19970518181328.00717990@lariat.org> from Brett Glass at "May 18, 97 06:13:28 pm" To: brett@lariat.org (Brett Glass) Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 11:14:44 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL30 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Just upgraded a machine to 2.2.2, and am getting persistent errors in the > log (and on the console) saying > > inetd[pid]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root' > > when I su to root.

Most ports that require Motif are also available as packages that are statically linked with Motif, so you can install the package and run it without having Motif installed on your system.

I've tried commenting If a port requires Motif, then this means that both compiling and linking the program will always require Motif. But if you actually need Motif to execute this program later depends on how it has been linked at build time. When your program has been linked statically against the Motif libraries, then it contains all necessary parts of these libraries so that it will also run perfectly in an environment that has no Motif support at all. This is the case with the packages that are pre-built for distribution with the FreeBSD releases. > out the line that says Motif is required, but it still pukes.

What I did: 1. installed RELENG_2_2 system (got $1$-style crypt(3), Ok) 2. installed international-DES distribution over it, and what I got: -- if encrypted password is $1$-style, passwd(1) preserves this. -- if encrypted password is "plain old DES", brought from old BSD/OS system, passwd(1) preserves this, too. -- if the account is fresh new and/or has no password, passwd(1) does plain-DES encryption by default. That's not what I meant (and wanted to get)... I had an idea to bring in old passwd database from old system, old-DES-style; but have passwd(1) to use either $1$- or ext-DES ('_'-style) encryption later with no regard to whatever was used for this password earlier. So that old user will launch passwd(1), which in turn will understand her old DES password, but will replace it with the new one encrypted by a new encryption scheme. So the question: do I need to hack passwd(1) to get this done transparently? Or there are some other options around? And while here already, a call for expert opinions: which encryption scheme is considered to be harder to crack (with regard to UNIX passwords) -- $1$-style MD5 scheme or "extended DES", '_'-style scheme? Thanks for your time and attention!

I try FTPing to something and it says 'Host Unknown' or I try pinging something and it says 'No route to host', etc. I've already looked through the FAQ and Handbook and fiddled with my configuration files a lot, but I still can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. (It DID work fine, BTW, when I used the installation disk to install FreeBSD over FTP.) -Tom From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 19 07:55:15 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA25827 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 May 1997 07:55:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iceberg.anchorage.net.

The Lose95 connects to the FBSD box via a thinnet either-net connection and then uses a modem with ppp -auto -alias to connect to the net. The FBSD box only has to be turned on (ie, after all the setup, which isn't much, is done just leave the FBSD box running. Whenever a request for the net comes from the client FBSD will initiate a connection, login and establish the ppp connection). Hope this helps.

There are a lot of services outside the file system (the network interfaces, direct disk access through devices), and chroot on FreeBSD isn't safe from root - a chroot can be broken (or could, at least. We might have fixed that now.) Basically, though, you can't provide a shell that is completely safe from root. chroot() is only a convenience to protect parts of the file system from other users.

Because the second disk on the 2.1.5 FreeBSD was damaged CDROM replaced the disks with 2.2.1 FreeBSD. The 2.1.5 version worked great, xdm and twm, no bugs. However many programs were not available. The following patches were necessary in order to start xdm and twm using version 2.1.5 FreeBSD. In /etc/rc.local, the following was added: echo -n 'starting local daemons:' # put your local stuff here /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm && echo -n ' twm' The following .xsession file was added #!/bin/sh # # .xinitrc - X Windows initialization file, FreeBSD/twm version. # Wes Peters; 05/25/95 # # Run .profile to make sure we get the environment setup correctly. # . ~/.profile TZ=MST7MDT; export TZ # # Start clients - just a terminal window to start with. # xterm & # # Start a window manager - twm to start with. This program becomes the # 'session manager', exit from it to logout from X. # twm Starting from a "clean" slice I wish to install fvwm95. Installation of the window manager program fvwm95 using the above commands is not working. fvwm95 replaced twm whenever it appears. The symptoms are the xdm login screen appears allowing login. Then a blank screen appears, no window, only the fvwm95 menu appears after clicking the right mouse button (default menu and exit buttons). The error message in the -xsession-errors file reads Fvwm-95: in function Read: <>file ' .fvwm95rc' not found in $HOME or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 Fvwm-95:in function Read: trying to read system rc file Fvwm-95: in function Read:<> file 'system.fvwm95rc' not found in $HOME or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 Both 'system.fvwm95rc' and '.fvwm95rc' are present in the $HOME directory. Also, there is recurring error message, ' XF86_SVGA pid ### tried to use non present SYSVSHM ' the message is displayed whenever logging out. Could someone please help me to setup the fvwm95 correctly and remedy the XF86_SVGA error message?

You could write an Imakefile and use xmkmf to gen the Makefile but I do it by hand. Complex systems grow slowly, so the Makefile starts out quite simple, you can use a standard template, and grows module by module as you add source to the project. There are probably tools out there, other than imake, to build your makefiles for you but I've never seen a need. I have one Makefile that is almost 3000 lines long, and very few of those are comments. Three or four years ago it was probably only a 100 lines long.

The efficiency on CPU utilization seems to be quite good. I have not had an opportunity to benchmark it against other systems (like Linux), but it certainly blows the doors off of Win95. I used to squeeze realtime performance out of sub-1-MIPS processors, so I appreciate efficiently written OSes. :o) So far I've learned to sysgen ("kernel building" in UNIX vernacular) freebsd. Not much different from the minicomputers I used to play with. About the only difference is that, in those, you fed the configuration statements for devices, etc. to a macro assembler, and here it gets done by the C compiler. An interesting aside here is that it takes about as long to build the UNIX kernel on a 200 MIPS machine under C as it took to build one of those kernels on a 1 MIPS machine with a macro assembler. Ok, enough rambling. My freebsd box talks to the ethernet just great, but I've been trying to get PPP support going in user mode. Thus far, I've been able to get it to dial, log on, negotiate a PPP session, get the dynamic IP addresses and put them in the routing table (netstat shows them assigned to the correct interface). However, when I try to ping the any of the machines which should be on the other end, I get a "no route to host" message. Additionally, for each ping, I get the old UNIX message "his magic is bad", placed into the PPP log. Any ideas on this one? I can send a copy of my ppp.config if you need to see it. BTW, it is freebsd release 2.2.1, which I downloaded from freebsd.org.

Now i have just few inquiries/questions regarding building a new kernel to provide sound support. I have a soundblaster16 soundcard i have installed under win95 and would like to use it under Freebsd to play audioCD. Here is what i have added to the GENERIC kernel for the sound support. #Controls all sound devices controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 options "SBC_IRQ=5" BTW Here is the card setup under win95 SETBLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 I have added those config lines at the end of GENERIC kernel. Does it matter where i put those lines? Somewhere in the midle... end... ? And do i need to put any additional lines for the card? I havent compiled the kernel yet and would like some advice/suggestions about the above configuration for the sound card. Also since i am already running X , Would uncommenting the line " options XSERVER" (Generic KERNEL HAVE IT COMMENTED) improve X performance somehow? I would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions/comments/pointers on these matters. Thank you for your help in advance.

IMHO any ATAPI cdrom should work, what seems to be the problem is that the controller has to be a supported one. All the answers to the previous questions of that kind (sorry, but I've been listening to that list for only one week yet) have the same direction: put the CDROM onto a "real" controler and leave those soundcards alone (or at least just make some noices with them and nothing else :) > One mystery during my installation (by DOS partition): > If I bootup the machine using the bootup disk (made from the CD), > when I select DOS as installation medium, the error message says: > DOS partition could not been found (something like that). > If I bootup by using a DOS boot disk then lanuch the installation > from the CD (which I can see from DOS), then everything went on > very smoothly. Reminds me of my situation two years ago running LinuX and having a CMD640 controler (since IDE disks are that cheap :) -- I had to boot DOS and load the apropriate driver to enable the second channel. After a few weeks LinuX itself was able to do that, but referring to the code I read they had to do "some magic" and were not sure whether the next chip's release would react in the same way. Seems to me there's something like that for the SB board -- any kind of "little demon" activating the card's onboard IDE controler. That's why it's seen in DOS and maybe later. I guess once it's activated it's found at the same resources as any IDE controler -- but to get there you need a Doze driver :( And in case it's not an IDE controler (i.e. neither 0x1f0/14 nor 0x3f0/15) but something proprietary then you had to check not just that the driver is in the kernel but also the driver's settings. FreeBSD seems to believe more what the user says than what the hardware is configured like -- my 3c509 is "recognized" at 0x300/10 although it's set to 0x300/12. BTW: Is there a special setting to have the driver do some autoprobing ? Since some hardware like 3c509 cards has config ports to read the settings from, that could be taken over once the hardware is detected (i.e. the config port is touched (?)). This would make it less easy to "misconfigure" a setup by ignoring these settings that can be recognized anyway.

This message indicates that SYSV-SHARED MEMORY isn't present in your kernel. The GENERIC kernel shipped with the product doesn't have then enabled; as it consumes too much space to fit in the floppy boot image. It is completely safe to ignore... When you want, you can build your own kernel with SYSVSHM, etc.. enabled (see the LINT configuration file in /sys/i386/conf for information and examples.) That will clean up this message. > > Thanks, > Jeff Ayres - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 19 15:54:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA24441 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 May 1997 15:54:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from blackhole.dimensional.com (root@blackhole.dimensional.com [208.206.176.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA24434 for ; Mon, 19 May 1997 15:54:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc03 (p11.pm-4.pm.dimcom.net [208.206.177.107]) by blackhole.dimensional.com (8.7.6/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA24796 for ; Mon, 19 May 1997 16:54:50 -0600 (MDT) Posted-Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 16:54:50 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <33807869.E88F1DA8@spiritweb.org> Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 16:57:29 +0100 From: "Rene K.

X is X - they don't make a special one for BSD! you can install a different window manager (besides twm). you have a menu, just click your left button outside a window. to run a program, just enter it's name (assuming it's in PATH) followed by an ampersand - in an xterm window (ie, run_me &). > And one last one...

Go for SCSI! The IDE CDROM has even a lower chance of working if you have no IDE hard disks. If you want to save money get a 8x SCSI CD. It wil probably give you the same kind of performance the 12x IDE will anyhow, and will be a hell lot more reliable. As for the IDE Zip drive, there was a question once on this list concerning it, but I don't think it will be recognized. Again, if you have a SCSI controller, got for SCSI peripherials. With the SMC card, you may face some problems. The cards that use the newer DEC chips (DE-21140A or AC) are problematic. You may have to patch the driver a little. Look around the hackers list archive for the patches. You may be better off with an Intel ExtherExpress 100/B card, but you could probably get the SMC to work too. > > Thanks for your advice!

The first question I have is why do you want the DNS locally? Is it to get experience with setting up a name server? If so, you got some good answers on that already. I'd also suggest that you check out http://www.isc.org/ for the latest version of BIND since the one that comes with FreeBSD 2.x is rather outdated. The new 8.1-Release of BIND compiles "right out of the box" on a FreeBSD system so you should have no problems with it. If on the other hand you just want an efficient resolver setup, I'd say that you are better off depending on your ISP's name server. It can handle the actual queries just as fast as you could locally (unless something is dreadfully wrong at your ISP), and you can avoid having to sacrifice your RAM to named (about 16M here after 4-5 days uptime, although this is a heavy use system). If you have a list of sites that you use frequently, you can avoid having to look them up at all by specifying them in /etc/hosts and telling your system to try that file first in /etc/host.conf. Reading the man pages for each of those files is highly recommended. :) > I have O'Reilly "DNS & Bind". So if the answer is in there, please >provide a pointer to the section or capability. Without understanding >the difference or interactions between named, bind, resolver, and NIS >I may have read right through it an not realized it... (not running NIS), >intermitent ISP connection with dynamic address.... I'd say that you should start at the beginning, and read through if you're really interested. The O'Reilly book is very very good, and for my money is the industry standard. The short answers to your questions: named: The actual name server daemon that handles lookups for your site, and if you have an actual domain, handles queries about your site. bind: Berkeley Internet Name Domain, the name of the whole software package, including named, resolver libraries, and tools like nslookup resolver: This is a bit more nebulous, but in general "the resolver" is the routine or set of routines that your programs query for answers about domains and IP addresses. The resolver generally passes its queries to named, and then passes the answer(s) from named to your program. You determine your nameserver priority in /etc/resolv.conf so if you do set up a server locally, make sure to list your ISP's server as a backup just in case. This is vastly simplified, but I hope that it helps you keep things straight.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been in contact with a commercial supplier of a backup package for FreeBSD who only supplies the binaries dynamically linked to the Motif libs. He's generously offered to compile the package statically linked for me to evaluate before purchase if I will tell him what switches should be used. I intend to ask if he will make this available for general distribution as the linux package is already built both statically and dynamically linked. When I asked why the FreeBSD binary is not statically linked as is the linux binary, his answer is the standard: "Unfortunately I sell so few copies for FreeBSD that its not really worth the trouble" I am assuming that most FreeBSD users do not have the Motif package, as it is now priced at US$190, which is more than pocket money for most people. The issue here is that the standard and any X libs need not be linked statically, only the Motif libs. I know the -static switch to gcc will cause the package to be linked statically, but how should the Motif libs _only_ be linked statically. If anyone is prepared to help me out on this, it may lead to another commercial app with widespread appeal for the FreeBSD community. If you're interested, please take this to private mail and reply directly to me. I case anyone is interested, the package is PerfectBackup. It's built for FreeBSD 2.2+ and priced at US$99 which seems quite reasonable to me.

For several months now on one machine (and under both 2.1.5-R and 2.2.2-R) I've been getting the following cryptic SCSI errors with a Conner drive on an Adaptec 2940 controller: /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND info:7f877f csi:f,90,0,27 asc:9,0 Track following error field replaceable unit: 15 /kernel: , retries:4 And here's what dmesg reports for the controller and disk: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:15 ahc0: aic7880 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs (ahc0:0:0): "CONNER CFP4207S 4.28GB 5767" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 4096MB (8388608 512 byte sectors) At first I thought this might be a SCSI termination problem, but after checking and rechecking terminators and cable connections, the errors still keep appearing in the syslog. I also had the controller reformat and verify the disk, but no bad blocks were found, apparently, and the problem remains. I'd like to return the drive if it's defective, but I don't quite know what to complain about to my vendor since I don't quite understand the problem. Is it possible to determine *why* a command is being aborted from the information contained in the error message? Can I fix the problem by reconfiguring the drive somehow?

Well, if your nervous about building a kernel, and don't mind taking the time, go ahead and build with just the addition. However, you'll want to delete devices that you don't have. Read the Handbook section. Oh, when you say you added the SoundBlaster to the end of GENERIC, I hope you mean you copied GENERIC to a different file and editted it. Don't change GENERIC you want to leave it as is for reference and emergency. A couple hints off the top of my head. Don't delete 'device npx0' (math coprocessor/emulator) or 'options "COMPAT_43"' (BSD 4.3 compatibility). -- What if we were to get the GoodYear Blimp for WFF convenction 1993?

Create the directory /usr/X11R6 cd to /usr/X11R6 sh /tmp/preinst.sh zcat X32xxx.tgz | tar xvf - You will have already copied preinst.sh and postinst.sh to your /tmp directory because you read the RELNOTES file that comes with the distribution :) Only half joking here, you will have a tough time getting X running if you do not read the docs.

When I set up the amanda.conf file to back up only the backup server itself, all runs fine. When I set up the amanda.conf file to back up only one other system (a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box) and not itself, everything also runs fine. However, when I set up the amanda.conf file to backup both the backup server itself AND the other box, it chugs for a while and then the backup server prints the following message forever: wd0: wdunwedge failed: wd0: status 58 error 0 If I don't run amanda, the box runs forever just fine with no problems, so I doubt its a drive going bad. FYI - the backup server is a 486DX4/100 with 16mb RAM, a 1.2gb western digital ide drive, an adaptec 1520 scsi controller (aic0), and an HP 1533 4mm DAT drive. I'm confused. Any ideas?

It sounds like he has something setup in the menu incorrectly. "IF" you are running dynamic ppp I found to get the most success from entering `0.0.0.0' in the set up of gateway and ip address. When he goes to his ppp screen and does the dial-in through term, enters his login name and passwd, it will go into packet mode. When `ppp ON' changes to `PPP ON' he will know he is connected correctly. > >We have the domain name server set up correctly as well as all the >information to get logged on to us.

It's gone moderately smoothly (cvsup, make world, ...) but I have noticed a couple glitches which point to problems in the installation of the boot-time scripts. The text-console screen saver specified in /etc/sysconfig and invoked by /etc/rc.i386 is now improperly invoked under 2.2-Stable: rc.i386 specifies an entry-point option which isn't found. Not a big deal, but points to problems in the rc script stuff. I see looking in the /usr/src/etc/... that "sysconfig" is supposed to be replaced with a new /etc/rc.conf, and that my 2.1.7-vintage rc.i386 file is obsolete (the 2.2 version doesn't specify an entry-point for the screen saver, for example). There's even boot-time code somewhere that checks for this and complains that I need to replace sysconfig with rc.conf. But the make world process did not install the new rc.conf nor the new version of rc.i386 or give me the upgrade warning. How is this really supposed to be done? Do I need to use some other make target? Are there other similar system boot and configuration files I need to worry about? Thanks.

It appears that Netscape has a bug in its JavaScript implementation that causes it to crash when converting a large number to a string. (At least the BSD version you mention above has this bug.) For example, the following one-liner will crash your browser: /home/pius>cat test.html /home/pius>netscape file:/home/pius/test.html Floating exception /home/pius>netscape -v Netscape 3.01/export, 20-Oct-96; (c) 1995,1996 Netscape Communications Corp. /home/pius> When you click on the Net Search button, Netscape will load http://home.netscape.com/escapes/search/ which contains JavaScript that gets the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 and then tries to convert that number to a string. On a similar note, you can compile the following Java applet, refer to it in an applet tag in an HTML page, load the page, and that same version of Netscape will crash on a floating- point exception: public final class div0bug extends java.applet.Applet { public void init() { invert(0.0); } public double invert(double number) { return 1 / number; } } Regards, Pius From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 20 15:28:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA01328 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 May 1997 15:28:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kevin.sunshine.net (pme20.sunshine.net [204.191.205.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA01292 for ; Tue, 20 May 1997 15:27:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (cagey@localhost) by kevin.sunshine.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA00228 for ; Tue, 20 May 1997 15:23:13 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 20 May 1997 15:23:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Kevin Eliuk Reply-To: Kevin Eliuk To: FreeBSD-questions Subject: GENERIC Upgrade Question Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was reading through the mail archives and came across a few references about avoiding kernel compile errors by rm -r or rm -rf on the /usr/src/sys.

This email has several purposes: 1. To provide an easy to use route to setting up PPP under freeBSD. 2. To thank everyone who has provided me with suggestions over the past couple of days. The reason for this is that I just spent most of my spare time for the last 4 days, trying to get PPP to function correctly on my freeBSD operating system. The debugging was complicated by the fact that: this is the first time I have installed PPP, I have an ethernet connected to the box also, making me unsure of some of the routes problems which crept in, and PPP can exhibit some not-so-nice behavior if you feed it incorrect information. I'll get into some of the possible problems at the end of this memo. Here is what I suggest that you do when setting up PPP under freeBSD for the first time: 1. If you can do without address resolution temporarily, go into /etc/host.conf and comment out the "bind" statement and other address resolution statements except for "hosts". Also, go into resolv.conf and comment out all the nameservers. You can add these back after you determine that PPP functions with your system. This will make debugging the system easier. 2. Add name and address information to /etc/hosts for a couple of machines you expect to see on the other side of the connection when it comes up. Short form names are a good idea here, as you may be typing these a lot during debugging if things don't go well. 3. Don't try to use a script for PPP to login the first time. Do it manually. 4. This all assumes that the "tun0" device is declared in the sysgen statements for the kernel. It is in the GENERIC kernel supplied with the system, so it should not be a problem. Also watch when your system boots, to make sure the modem is detected during the boot up device search. 5. The "tun0" device must be declared in the networks section of /etc/sysconfig, as outlined in the PPP section of the freeBSD handbook. ( One very good source of advise is this handbook and the PPP man pages.) 6. Input the following: ppp (issued at shell level, brings up user mode ppp) set device /dev/cuaax (where x is the number of the serial port, starting from 0 for sio0. Not needed if using the sio0 device.) disable pred1 deny pred1 (this turns off predictor 1 data compression, which not all gateways can accept. My ISP can't.) term (this puts you in manual mode with the modem) at (resets the modem, wait for "OK" to come back from the modem. If no OK, disconnect and phone line, wait a few seconds, reconnect phone line, and try again. If still no OK, reboot system.) atdtxxxxxxx (dials the ISP, xxxxxxx is the phone number. At this point, modem should dial and connect, and you should get login prompt.) login: xxxxxxxx (at prompt, input your userid.) password: yyyyyyyy (input your password) (now wait for PPP to connect, at which time the "ppp" will change to "PPP" in the ppp prompt. Then wait about 10-15 more seconds) show log (this should show network connection, ending with "myaddr" and "hisaddr" info. if no address yet, wait a few more seconds and input "show log" again. if address shows up as 0.0.0.0, the PPP negotiotion failed. on fail, type "close" and "bye" and try again from the top.) show routes (you should see the routes of "myaddr" and "hisaddr" in the routes table that were displayed in the step above) add 0 0 HISADDR (this should add the HISADDR IP number as the default route in the routing table, assuming, of course you want it as the default, which will be the case for most end users) show routes (check to see that the HISADDR IP number is now the default route in the routing table. if not, wait and do again) When the "hisaddr" IP number shows up as the default route, you should be all ready. At this point, bring up another virtual terminal, and try to ping "localhost", the IP corresponding to HISADDR, and other hosts on the other side of the net. If pings are not going through, do "netstat -i and netstat -r" to check the actual system routing table for the routes seen in "show routes" from PPP. Note: You must leave PPP up on the original terminal for the duration. I am working on a script which will look pretty much like what appears in the freeBSD handbook, which dials and becomes it's own task. I'll send this to cfw.com to publish on their website. Problems: These are some of the problems I experienced when trying to get PPP up and running: 1. The "tun0" device needed to be added to /etc/sysconfig, per instructions in the handbook. 2. PPP, if presented with a bad address, may hang the routing system for the entire OS. Symptoms of this are: No reporting by netstat -r or netstat -i for any interfaces in the system (netstat hangs) (aparently PPP locks the routing tables and does not release them). No successful pings to any host, including localhost. In this case, give PPP the "close" and "bye" commands. If you are lucky, this will release the routing table. If you are not lucky, you will have to reboot. 3. Nameserver connections may obscure debugging, which is why I suggested turning them off if possible for the first go-round. If all the above is successful, you may turn them back on, as described in the PPP section of the handbook. 4. Timeouts in the example script in the handbook were too short for protocol negotiation and testing at my ISP. 5. The /etc/ppp.linkup script aparently isn't called by PPP in manual mode. This should be made clear in the handbook and the man pages. 6. If PPP hangs, kill pid, kill -9 pid, and disconnecting the phone line for a few seconds may be used liberally. So, thanks to all who provided suggestions over the last several days. Some of them were good, some of them made the problems worse, but all contributed to my being able to lay out the steps above, which, I think, should guarantee a good connection, if one can be made at all. I'll send a script that works to www.cfw.com. In the meantime, I suggest that the freeBSD handbook folks might want to use some of the above material in the handbook, which I freely give them perrmission to do.

I am trying to set this up as a simple text printer for my FreeBSD 2.2.1 system. However, I get the infamous staircase effect. Since I don't have the manual, I don't have the escape character or the dip switch config to change the LF to a LF/CR. Does anyone have one of these, and if so, what is the code or dip for this? I have searched cyberspace with Altavista in search for this code, without luck. This printer is also known as a DPS-1101. Patrick Gardella P.S. It ain't a pretty printer, but it works, and its free!

You may want to start the installation over, after first deleting the old partition that it created. Watch out for the error and write down what it was (if it happens again).

The best thing would be (IMHO) to install a newer version. If that's impossible, reinstall and put the root partition (which can be pretty small - ~30MB is more than enough) on the first hard disk.

Even though the ads tell you that it's a 16 bit sound card: it isn't. It's still 8bit, you can't play full 16bit 44kHz stereo files on it directly. I noticed it when I tried to play mpeg-audio files. They always gave me crap at the speakers. When I'm changing them to 22kHz WAV/Voc files everything is ok. By the way: there is an easy way to find out if your device is an 8bit or 16bit device: start the voxware daemon (au) execute auinfo -audio tcp/localhost:8000 and you'll see... A SB16 is a TRUE 16bit card so there's no problem playing 16bit 44kHz stereo files on it. Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de !!!

charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.69 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've finally got around to putting RELENG_2_2 on one of our production machines, now that 2.2.2 is out and I've got a library question that hopefully someone can answer. When I do a make world on top of a 2.1.7.1 release I get the new libraries in /usr/lib. This leaves multiple versions kicking around that I'd like to remove for the sake of cleanliness. Is there an established way to do this, or do I just delete them by hand? Assuming that I should delete them by hand I moved the old libraries out into another directory and did a ldconfig, and another make world. For some reason even though I have a new libc.so.3.0 the systems still seems to need libc.so.2.2. (i.e. when I log in it complains that it can't). Why should this be so? Shouldn't getty, etc, be linked against 3.0? Another question also: make install? Is there a make install that doesn't reinstall the entire system. I'd like to install just those binaries that have changed, and not the whole whack after performing a cvsup/make all.

The modems at both end are 28800 BPS with the DTE set to 38400. the entry in /etc/ttys is # Serial terminals ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty VH38400" dialup on #ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty VH38400" dialup on ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on # this one !! std.38400 works fine (most of the time) with the modem not locked to DTE. I get a login prompt first time so this must mean a 38400 DTE connect. The /usr/local/bin/ppplogin entry is #!/bin/sh exec /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp :x.x.x.x exit I didn't use the tunNEL device because I wouldn't hangup the connection after use. Could it be PPP that is causing the burst pulse traffic ?? Any ideas anyone. Simon Atkin. ;) Just in case anyone doesn't understand burst pulse traffic, then it is that the modem RX light doesn't stay on all the time while transfering , i.e loss of bandwidth.

Never failed once under 2.1.0. Could not build a kernel on the system, either. Switched to the GENERIC kernel and was able to build one that was slightly different (omitted the vnode driver and added FAILSAFE and BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET).

It is a separate commercial product for FreeBSD. Jordan announced it with the 2.2 release. It's still beta, but it works well with my SB16. It is a loadable device driver, rather than being built into the kernel. It does nice work. Check them out, it might be what you need. I have no affiliation with them. I just bought it last week.

I noticed that exmh's background process stopped working. My .xsession-errors show the following : BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored exmh-bg cannot rendez-vous with UI - exiting. Usually this is because Tk send is not working. Check the notes under Frequently Asked Questions #4a and #4b. You can find this under the Help menu. I did RTFM, and checked all the xdm config files as well as my ~/Xauthority and everything checks out. I ran xdm -debug 1 and that looks OK too, except that right after it prints out the environment, it says : Unsecure display 0: Earlier on it said Secure though. My ~/Xauthority is empty when X isn't running and contains 2 entries when I start xdm. No other programs except tk stuff complain about anything such as opening the display. Does anyone have any idea what I did or how to fix it? pierre -- Pierre-Andre van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer Powered By FreeBSD ******************************** * Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd. * * Specialists in data security * * E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com * * Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 * * http://www.nanoteq.co.za * ******************************** From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 21 07:05:15 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA11480 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 21 May 1997 07:05:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buffnet4.buffnet.net (buffnet4.buffnet.net [205.246.19.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA11448; Wed, 21 May 1997 07:05:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buffnet11.buffnet.net (shovey@buffnet11.buffnet.net [205.246.19.55]) by buffnet4.buffnet.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA00500; Wed, 21 May 1997 10:05:20 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 10:05:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Steve To: spork cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: named on two nets In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I believe if named is invoked after the ifconfig alias, it binds to them all - I have this problem with my apache servers - so im pretty sure thats what it does.

Because, by default, the FreeBSD file system makes sure that the disk is in a consistent state. So, for every file that is deleted, the file system runs through a procedure that, if interrupted, doesn't corrupt your file system. To speed up installations and massive deletions, I simply remount my partition as 'async'. For instance, I occasionally clean up my /usr/ports directory. Some of the ports generate a lot of object files. By using mount -uo async /usr the clean-up goes faster. Of course, the file system is less "safe", but the operation doesn't take as long.

Delete this line (scd0), because it is the line of any Sony CD-ROMs on PROPRIETARY controller. And you have the correct line (controller matcd) for your CD. Never mind the other people saying put it into your disk controller: your CD-ROM drive is an older model, which doesn't know the ATAPI standard, it uses it's own controller (built on to your sound card). I have a Sony CD on a sound card, and it works, and heard so many people using older types of CD's on a sound card. By the way, I don't know, why the Matsusita/Panasonic driver is a controller, and the Sony (or Mitsumi) driver is a device. > Is scd0 (SONY CD-ROM) the problem ?

I've used both SLIP and PPP under FreeBSD, OS/2, Linux, and Win95. I've *never* seen a continuous stream of data under any of these implementations. I always assumed it was due to TCP/IP handshaking and how loaded each machine is. If you're downloading off the Internet, you also have to worry about every machine that forwards your packets and the handshaking needed every step of the way. If I need to download a large file as quickly as possible, I'll dial in to my shell acount using 'minicom' and grab the file with ZMODEM. That's when I see continuous data being sent. Hope this helps...

I think about Postgres but may be there are others. - With this server, which type of clients would you recommend (www browser, ODBC client developped with Delphi or Visual Basic...) ? I think the major problem is to find a good server which can be used via Windows clients. The price is important because it's for an association which is involved in helping homeless. This is why i would want to use FreeBSD (among many other reasons). And it would be well if at least the server was free. Thanks you very much.

This setup has worked for me in the past. It will not, however, go to your ISPs nameserver for queries it cannot revols out of cache, it will go directly to the root servers. If you're using demand-dialed PPP, the result will be the same: whenever you lookup a name that is not in cache, it wi link and resolve the name automagically. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Xauth is a pita. It should be easier than it is, or at least the error messages and documentation could be more helpful by providing some working examples. I still haven't managed to figure out how to get xauthority working with xinit, and I'd honestly prefer to startup X when I need it rather than having to use xdm.

(fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings from Havana: I have a no-name PCI network interface card (NIC). By saying no-name I mean it is not from one of the well known brands but it is from a so called SURECOM (of Taiwan), it is jumperless. I also have a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box, it is a AMD 486DX4 100 MHz with 16 RAM, an SCSI-II PCI controller Adaptec 2940, a SCSI-II Seagate Hard Disk (1 GB) and a SCSI-II Nec CDROM. Everything works very well but I have some doubts. My new PCI NIC (the one depected above) features popular Ethernet adapter emulation modes such as Novell NE2000, SMC/WD 8013EBT and 3Com EtherLink II/16 share memory access. It also features a mode called Surecom, after the name of the brand. FreeBSD 2.1.5 is not aware of this so called Surecom modes, it also knows certain types of well know PCI NIC's, that's why when probing for devices on pci bus the systems "sees" the NIC but there is no a proper driver to handle it. That's why I reconfigure the NIC to emulate a NE2000, the system then "saw" the NIC but just when probing for devices on the ISA bus, of course using the ed0 driver, it printed out the MAC address and the "type NE2000 (16 bit)".Apparently everything should work fine so far but it did not. So I decided to make a second test and for twice I ran the configuration utility of the NIC to reconfigure the working mode as a SMC/WD 8013 EBT, but with the same IRQ and I/O as before ( 11 & 340h). This time the system also "saw" the card as an ISA device (although it is a PCI ?) and the system printed out the MAC address once again and "type WD 8013 (8 bits)". Finally this time everything worked fine since I was able to ping hosts on my network. But it happens that all these tests achieved confused me a lot. So here you are the quetions I'm asking now: Why although the NIC features a PCI bus, when emulating NE2000 etc the system "sees" the card as an ISA device and not as a PCI ? Does it means that althoug it is inserted in a PCI slot it is no using the 32 bits bandwith of the bus when transferring data to the PC ? I'm sure there are certain knowledge concerning emulation modes I need to know in order to anderstand what happened here. I also would like to know a little bit more about the different techniques use by NIC's in order to transfer data from itself to the computer so is there is any "paper" in the internet covering that issue I would like to know where it is in order to obtain a copy. My apologies for bothering you with such questions but since I'm running FreeBSD I don't have any one else to ask them instead. Thanks in advance. Bye. ======================================= Ing.

This requires no filters. But the printer codes are PCL codes, probably not what the Juki uses. To find out what it uses you might try the newsgroup comp.perhipherals.printers (or something like that). The printer codes in qp.awk reset the printer, tell it to treat cr and lf as cr + lf, select a typeface, and set the left margin; others could of course be included, e.g., the code for printing in landscape instead of the default portrait, or the code for lines per inch. Try to get a manual for your printer! Annelise P.S. What looks like ^[ in the above is decimal 027, equivalent to \033 (octal) in the printer section of the FreeBSD handbook. In vi this is entered (in insert mode) with Ctrl-v, where is the escape key. (The "printf"s in the above probably could be only "print".)

I have made many installation attempts and I continuously get the "missing operating system" error message during boot. I have used the pfdisk utility to see the disk geometries of the two hard disks that I have: 2 EIDE disks, 2 GB and 3GB respectively. The 2GB disk is all dos, and the second 3GB disk has 2GB for dos and 1GB for FreeBSD. The disk geometry for both disks was different when displayed from pfdisk versus FreeBSD. Using the G option during the install procedure, I changed the second disk geometry to match what pfdisk displayed. There was only a small change, one cylinder less for FreeBSD. That worked fine. However, for the first disk, there was a bigger difference, involving different numbers of cylinders, heads, and sectors. When I tried to change the geometry with the G option, I got I warning stating that the partition was not on a track boundary or something to that effect. What does this mean, and can I proceed??? I do not want to risk loosing any data on my first disk dos partition. All I need on that disk is the boot manager which seems to install fine. It just won't recognize my FreeBSD partition on disk 2 even though the disk geometry for disk 2 matches the pfdisk geometry exactly. Does the geometry for every disk on my system, even non FreeBSD disks have to have the same geometry as displayed by pfdisk? I would greatly appreciate your help.

I am having so much problem installing FreeBSD in my 133mhz clone with 16m of RAM and 1.2 g harddisk I need all the help I can get. I am not sure about the problem I have because of my inexperience with Unix or problem with equipment. I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.11 through the CDROM. I setup a DOS partition with barebone DOS with CDROM drivers loaded at startup. I then ran INSTALL from the CDROM. Created the BSD partitions and designated it to be bootable. I would get an error message "UNABLE TO SWAP TO /DEV/WD0S1B: DEVICE NOT CONFIGURED" but I was able to bypass it. On the next step, I would get another error message "UNABLE TO MAKE NEW ROOT FILESYSTEM ON /DEV/RWD0A!: COMMAND RETURNED STATUS 1". The process will abort after this point. I am confused because when I created the partitions, I cannot mount any swap volumes nor can I create any other volume other than /usr or the root. So, how can I resolve the errors? I, somehow, got it loaded last night but cannot get the Ethernet card going so I decided to reload the software again to see if I can run the full setup but I keep getting those error messages. I am also getting error message about "NO CDROM DEVICES FOUND - CHECK SYSTEM CONFIGURATION". DOS found the CD but why FreeBSD does not? HELP !! Thank you for your help.

The first controller has a disk with dos (windows 95 really) and a second disk with a small dos partition and FreeBSD. The second controller has the CD drive. I tried to mount the wcd0c and got "device not found". So I built a new kerel adding a line for wcd1 and wcd2.

Don4t change your GENERIC config file! Keep it as a reference in emergency situations. Copy the GENERIC file to some other name and modify that. The device line should read device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xcc0000 vector edintr Try to set those values in your current kernel (if it has a ed0 at all) by typing "-c" at the boot: prompt and entering the visual kernel config utility by typing "vi".

See www.cdrom.com All you need to download is the "boot.flp" from the floppies subdirectory on ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD Dump this to a disk (it4s a disk image), e.g. by using "dd" of one of your previous unixes. Reboot this disk. If you have a permanent internet connection, this will download all it needs for you. If you do not have a permanent connection, you will at least need to download "bin", "doc", "manpages" to start an installation. Copy those files somewhere you can access them and boot the boot.flp. Prior to downloading you need to decide what version of FreeBSD you want. You probably want to try 2.2.2-RELEASE. On 22-May-97 at 00:53:06 Michael D.

If you want to become a UNIX programmer, get yourself a copy of "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens. Invaluable for his in-depth coverage of how to do things "the UNIX way." > For now, I was > wondering how some of the complex makefiles I see in the FreeBSD > ports are generated. Does the developer actually do this by hand? Yup. Why not? It's just another language, and a relatively simple one at that. Keep in mind that UNIX applications are often developed in multiple directories, and are actually built as systems. This drives the DOS and Windows weenies I've worked with nuts; they'd prefer to see 4300 source files, 4300 object files, 4300 source backup files, a linker response file, and the resulting executable all thrown into one directory. Of course, they wonder why their computer is so slow, too. > That is, is the developer just an expert in the pseudo-language > of makefiles?

It would seem to > me to almost certainly be a process that can be automated. In general, you really only build a complicated make system once. After that, you just keep modifying and expanding that one to cover new additions to the project. When you move on to the next project, you carry over the basics of the make system from the previous project and modify it to support the new one. Often the original is copied from publicly available sources and modified to fit the project. > Also, does anyone know of any integrated development environments > for UNIX (FreeBSD) that would closely approximate some of the > capabilities of the Borland C++ Builder or the Borland Delphi > development environments? Hopefully these questions are good ones. Sure. It's called Emacs. Source code editor with syntax highlighting, integrated build and debugging environments, a binary editor, it has everything. It also has built-in source code control (when used with SCCS, RCS, or CVS), a news reader, email, and just about anything else you can think of. And several things you probably can't, like an automated Zippy the Pinhead quote generator, an on-line psychotherapist, and a filter to convert text files to "jive speak." O'Reilly and Associates publishes a good book on "Learning GNU Emacs," which has an excellent introduction to programming using Emacs. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Actually the "ascii" isn't really plain text....here are a few lines.. Welcome to FreeBSD! This handbook covers the installation and day to day use of FFrreeeeBBSSDD RReelleeaassee 22..22..22. This manual is a wwoo rrkk iinn pprrooggrreessss Most of it is, however, quite readable, as this formatting stuff is in the title sections. There is no longer a plain text version available either from the FreeBSD servers or on the cd (or installed). I created a version without the sort of thing above by using ps2ascii on the postscript version and then using fmt on that.

I'm not totally familiar with the BSD system yet, is there any log that will show the sense data on the SCSI chain right before the errors?

I recently converted my big Linux box, voyager.abac.com, over to FreeBSD. I started out with 2.2.1-RELEASE, then went to the 4/22 -SNAP release, and finally to 2.2.2-RELEASE. Unfortunately, all 3 have been falling victim to a rather bizarre and extremely frustrating crashing problem. What happens is that the system will be up and running fine, and will all of a sudden just *die*. Nothing unusual will appear in the log files. The system will simply become unresponsive. Even at the console, I can type and the characters will echo back to me, but the system will not process them. Even control characters -- if I hit Ctrl-C, it'll print ^C on the screen. So, I can never tell *why* it crashed... it just up and dies on me. The system is a Pentium 200 with a Tyan Titan VX motherboard. It has 128 MB of RAM, a 3Com 3C905-TX Fast Etherlink XL (the 10/100 MBps version) ethernet card, an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller (the normal version, not wide or ultra-wide), a Cirrus Logic GD5430 PCI video card with 2 MB of video RAM, and a Logitech Bus Mouse. There are 4 hard drives and one tape drive hooked up to the SCSI chain. In order, they are: SCSI 0 - Quantum ProDrive 540 MB; SCSI 1 - Quantum Fireball 2.1 GB; SCSI 2 - Quantum Trailblazer 850 MB; SCSI 3 - Quantum Fireball 1 GB; and SCSI 5 - Conner 4 GB QIC-Wide tape backup drive. There is also one Western Digital 420 MB IDE drive hooked up as a single drive on the secondary IDE chain (the primary IDE has no drives on it). The 540 MB drive has /, the 2.1 GB has /home, the 850 MB has /ftp, and the 1 GB has /usr. The 420 MB IDE drive is solely a swap drive. The SCSI Controller is using a slightly older revision of the BIOS, v1.21. I have a v1.23 chip on the way from Adaptec, which is the latest one available. As if that weren't enough info, I'm also including my kernel configuration file, in case that might prove useful. I suspect that there *could* be something in there that's doing it, because if I'm remembering correctly, the system was up for about 2 days running on the Generic kernel, before I compiled a custom one (before I knew how to). Any ideas any of you can provide about this would undoubtedly be extremely helpful. Thanks very much in davance.

In any case, an ATAPI CD is always called wcd0, nomatter where you connect it. If you're using 2.2 and later you should have (in addition to options ATAPI and device wcd0 also options ATAPI_STATIC in your kernel config). If this doesn't work still, try swapping the CD with the second HD on the first controller. It might help you to get it to work.

Look at /sys/pci/if_ed_p.c and you'll see a list of known card IDs. Add your card to that list. Just because the probe reports that the card was found on the ISA bus doesn't mean that you're not getting the full PCI preformance. The driver can't tell where the card really is, it's the motherboard hardware that knows to use the PCI bus. BTW the real driver is /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c anyway. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 22 01:57:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA10667 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 May 1997 01:57:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iron.ankey.ru (iron.ankey.ru [194.186.65.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA10662 for ; Thu, 22 May 1997 01:57:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iron.ankey.ru (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by iron.ankey.ru (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA05646 for ; Thu, 22 May 1997 11:56:18 +0400 (MSD) Message-ID: <3383FC1F.41C67EA6@iron.ankey.ru> Date: Thu, 22 May 1997 07:56:16 +0000 From: "Alexander V.

If it is possible for you to try, you may wish to swap this out for a DEC chip based card or an Intel Pro/100B. It would be useful if you could add options "DDB" to your kernel.

The easiest was to run games is to but /usr/games into your path, or "cd /usr/games" and run a game by prepending "./". There4s also dm, but well... Have you installed XWindow yet? If not, you will have to go to /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and "make all install clean", and do the same in XFree86-contrib. If you have installed XWindow, add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path to run it. cu Jo --------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - top breeders recommend it Joachim Kuebart Tel: +49 711 653706 Germany From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 22 04:23:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA15941 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 May 1997 04:23:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jocki.domestic.de (kuebart.stuttgart.netsurf.de [194.233.216.182]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA15936 for ; Thu, 22 May 1997 04:23:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from joki@localhost) by jocki.domestic.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA00342; Thu, 22 May 1997 13:22:03 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.0 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <33847951.6824@globalink.net.ph> Date: Thu, 22 May 1997 13:19:13 +0200 (CEST) From: Joachim Kuebart To: dextran@legaspi.globalink.net.ph Subject: RE: Virtual Terminal Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, dextran@legaspi.globalink.net.ph Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, to learn, type "man syslog.conf".

I was wondering if anyone had a canned method for doing this. My understanding is that I need the followingthree steps: 1. Write fdisk partition label (or is it pfdisk?) 2. Use disklabel 3. Use newfs (possibly tunefs) I would need help mostly with the first two steps (what are the proper options for the Iomega 100 Zip media for the appropriate commands in steps 1 and 2?) It seems to me that the command line options should be pretty standard for the Iomega Zip 100 media. Thank You, JM -- Jeffrey M.

I am trying to dial out on my FreeBSD 2.2.1 system. But for some reason, my communications with my modem are messed up. The computer can talk to the modem just fine. For example, When I am in term mode in user PPP, I have to hit RETURN twice to get the result code to print to the screen. The display is always one character behind, as well. So if I type "ath", I can only see "at" until I hit return. Then I can see ath, but I have to hit return again to display the result code "ok". So it's like the computer is not echoing the character back to the display. (Local echo is on.) When I do connect, (using PPP term or seyon). I have to hit return to see what the other computer is sending to me. It doesn't just flow across the screen like it should. It comes in chunks (about 12 characters at a time) as I hit random characters to make it display. This is confirmed in the PPP log (See below). It sends AT expecting an OK in return. It gets nothing. It sends the atdt command, and in return it gets the OK it was expecting for the AT. When it connects, the script doesn't see anything, becuase it hasn't sent a character to make it see it. So it can't go on! I've tried fiddling with the CR/LF setup to no avail. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

After compiling a debug version of FreeBSD 2.2.1-Release libc.a 3.0 and running your test program below through gdb 4.16, the specific cause of this problem appears to be caused by the following code in /usr/src/lib/libc/net/res_send.c(I'm sorry, line # not available) s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); ... if (s+1 > FD_SETSIZE) { Perror(stderr, "res_send: too many files"); _res_close(); goto next_ns; } When compiling the libs, FD_SETSIZE on most(all?) systems is 256, defined in /usr/include/sys/types.h. > Fix: One way I fixed this on my system was to recompile libc.a with FD_SETSIZE defined to a higher value. I used 1024 and have not had any of the described problems since doing that. Another way was to go into the /usr/src/lib/libc/net/res_send.c, take out: if (s+1 > FD_SETSIZE) { Perror(stderr, "res_send: too many files"); _res_close(); goto next_ns; } and change: select(s+1, &dsmask, (fd_set *)NULL, (fd_set *)NULL, &timeout) to: select(1, &dsmask, (fd_set *)NULL, (fd_set *)NULL, &timeout) This also works, but there may be problems i'm unaware of, since select() appears to be an internal kernel function, and I don't have the kernel source at this time. Although, from my programming experience on linux, you can call select() with FD's greater than FD_SETSIZE, just not a group of FD's who's total number is greater than FD_SETSIZE. But perhaps this is different under FreeBSD?

Did you install the mgetty+sendfax port? When I installed this port, an entry was added to my '/etc/ttys' file which attached 'mgetty' to '/dev/cuaa1'. To fix it, I removed the last line of '/etc/ttys' and had 'init' reload the file.

It would be nice to have a way to link it to the kernel parameters, but that may be more generality than most people/processes need. > Another way was to go into the /usr/src/lib/libc/net/res_send.c, take > out: > if (s+1 > FD_SETSIZE) { > Perror(stderr, "res_send: too many files"); > _res_close(); > goto next_ns; > } > and change: > select(s+1, &dsmask, (fd_set *)NULL, (fd_set *)NULL, &timeout) > to: > select(1, &dsmask, (fd_set *)NULL, (fd_set *)NULL, &timeout) > > This also works, but there may be problems i'm unaware of, since > select() appears to be an internal kernel function, and I don't have the > kernel source at this time. This WORKS? I'm very concerned about this. Looking at the "FD_SET" macro, it would appear that you'd be setting a bit in word beyond the size of "dsmask". For FD_SETSIZE of 256, the number of longs (fd_mask) for fd_set is 8, but 256/NFDBITS is 8, not 0-7. Furthermore, with a first parameter of 1, select will only check bits corresponding to fd's (0 -- (1-1)) which is a pretty short list... Am I missing something here? > Although, from my programming experience on linux, you can call select() > with FD's greater than FD_SETSIZE, just not a group of FD's who's total > number is greater than FD_SETSIZE. But perhaps this is different under > FreeBSD? Looking at the FreeBSD implementation, this seems VERY dangerous. The bit mask is a linear, non-biased (0-based) mask. Perhaps in Linux, it is an array of values, but in FreeBSD, it is a bit mask. If Linux uses an array of values, that would also explain why the earlier code I am concerned about would work, and it would probably change the interpretation of the first parameter of select, as well, but I'm only speculating. In summary, it looks like setting FD_SETSIZE to a larger value is the most nearly correct readily available solution, and the possibility of a more general solution getting the actual kernel limit of file descriptors does exit, but it would considerably increase the complexity of the run-time code, partially by eliminating the run-time constant calculations, at a benefit to a very small segment of the user community.

Are you connected to the net (on this network :) ?? If *not*, then go ahead and setup a nameserver on the FreeBSD box and make it primary for c-mode.net. Have all the PCs point at the name server. If you are on the net, and for some reason cannot use a registered domain, pick a better name. Something like my.domain that won't exist in real life.

So col -b won't work on it. The point is that the handbook ought to be available in a form that doesn't require this kind of processing. It seems that if you want a really readable version, you need to get the postscript version, convert it to ascii and run it through col -b, then use fmt on it, and then (if you've got a display that isn't using the iso-8859-1 character set), do some substitutions on it so that hyphens don't look like upside-down exclamation points. Now isn't that a little much to ask?

It's a FreeBSD permissionss thing. ------------------ IpcMemoryCreate: memKey=155356405 , size=24588 , permission=448 IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(..., create, ...) failed: Permission denied This type of error is usually caused by improper shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration. See the FAQ for more detailed information IpcMemoryAttach: shmat() failed: Permission denied This type of error is usually caused by improper shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration. See the FAQ for more detailed information ------------------ If I run as user "root" ( I know, a no-no ) I get, ------------------ "root" execution of the PostgreSQL backend is not permitted It is highly recommended that the backend be started under it's own userid to prevent possible system security compromise. This can be accomplished by placing the following command in the PostgreSQL startup script. echo "postmaster -B 256 >/var/log/pglog 2>&1 &" | su - postgres ------------------- But, of course, having done that, it then wont start because the permissions are wrong. System V bits are compiled into the FBSD kernel, and ipsc shows that the relevant bits have "root wheel" , rw only permissions set. Can someone tell me please how to get the permissions set so that postgres can use the mem bits please. thanks Robert -- http://www.chalmers.com.au Books-New & Secondhand Support Whirled Peas.

Are you getting any errors? You should probably also enable client support on the server if yp is using master.passwd out of /var/yp, otherwise the server won't see the yp passwords (for local use, it will still serve them to other clients). > > > CK > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 23 02:02:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA10102 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 23 May 1997 02:02:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.116.240]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA10097 for ; Fri, 23 May 1997 02:02:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (RBI-Z-5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id LAA25239; Fri, 23 May 1997 11:03:43 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.8.5/8.6.9) id LAA04500; Fri, 23 May 1997 11:04:15 +0200 (MEST) From: Christoph Kukulies Message-Id: <199705230904.LAA04500@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Subject: Re: NIS support In-Reply-To: from Cheekeong Soo at "May 22, 97 07:26:27 pm" To: airsoo@eecs.umich.edu (Cheekeong Soo) Date: Fri, 23 May 1997 11:04:14 +0200 (MEST) Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Reply-To: Christoph Kukulies X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I'm using freeBSD v 2.2.2 release and I'm having a big problem with NIS > password support.

Everything works ok, but I am having a problem using WINS at this site. The site has a Windows NT server that is running a wins server. I statically put the address of this wins server in my configuration of Windows 95. I then dial the FreeBSD box, get connected, can ping anywhere & do anything, but wins is not functioning properly. Looking at the wins database, I see that I got myself registered, but I cannot resolve anything. I have not experienced this using other PPP servers (i.e. livingston, 3COM, etc) and the configuration is the same. Has anybody else had this problem? Tim --- Tim Pushor Orion Technologies Inc.

Question: I tried to compile a new kernel with my personal configuration (ISDN, no SCSI, etc) but whenever I type "make" it says after some minutes of compiation: "System full [...]". Where is my problem? I use a 1-GB-HDD; typing "df" I learn that about 60% of /var and /usr are in use (/proc=100%). Do I have too little memory (12K) or a too slow processor (486/DX-40)? [I think that this could *not* be the reason.] 2. Question: I tried to run Liunx programmes; before I did so, I changed in /etc/sysconfig LINUX="NO" to "YES". But having restarted my computer none of them ran. I use the 2.2.1-stable release of FreeBSD and did evereything the handbook says. Where is the error? And one more question: Do Linux programmes run slower on FreeBSD than under their native platform? I mean: is this emulation robbing system resources and computing time? I would be happy if You could answer at least one question so that I will be able to use FreeBSD correctly.

I have a 400 which is the lowest model which supports port monitoring. APC sells software to manage the UPS but not a FreeBSD version. I have used their SCO version. There is a version written for FreeBSD called upsd. I can't find a copy just now. You will also need a special serial cable. This is gotten from APC.

The transfer rate is maybe a little less than with Zmodem, but it's a compressing modem so it's hard to tell. Of course, the overhead of both TCP/IP and Zmodem don't show up on this. (although you can get some idea by looking at the transmit light.) Maybe it's your ISP? (I'm on Demon Internet.) I do see the occasional short flicker off, presumably a noisy line, and sometimes it will stop for maybe 30 seconds (a bug in the SLIP software I think, as I didn't get it before I 'upgraded'.), but I've seen maybe 30 seconds of continuous transfer. It doesn't seem to make much difference where the transfer is from - it's the modem (14k4) that's the bottleneck in most cases, although I do sometimes get pulsed traffic that sounds like what you have - usually when the site is a long way away and/or it's a slow time.

I just dropped one in my FreeBSD box. I have used Exabytes before, but never a Wang DAT. This one is on SCSI ID 6, and shows up in the boot probes as: aic0 at 0x340-0x35f irq 11 on isa aic0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (aic0:6:0): "WangDAT Model 2600 01.2" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(aic0:6:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x93, 512-byte blocks, write-enabled Now.. the controller is an old Adaptec 1524, I would think it is to fault, but it hasn't given me problems with any other SCSI devices, such as CD-ROMS, SCSI disks and Exabyte tape drives. I received the drive in interesting conditions. It had been in an AT&T 3B2 (yah, ancient, whee :) And I was told by a guy who knew the administrator of the 3b2 that ''it didnt work'' and neither of them knew why. When I looked at the drive I hope I found why: two of the scsi terminators were missing, out of the three racks of pins. At least, I hope this is why :) Fixing that problem, I also pushed the scsi1/2 dip-switch to scsi2. All of the available dip switches are as follow (also showing the state they were in when I found the drive) ID2 on obvious ID1 off obvious ID0 on obvious PE off OPT off SCSI2 off SCSI1/2 switch, I switched to SCSI2 CMPR off BS off I tried to find help at Wang's web site, but it sucks.

What is the error you get when you run the programms. If they're looking for libraries, you will have to install the linux-libs package. If they're "unknown ELF type", you need to use "brandelf -t Linux", see "man brandelf". If the Linux binaries are not ELF type at all, they won't run under FreeBSD. Which answers the second part of the second question: ELF binaries run equally fast on comparable systems.

Also, should I leave LBA on in BIOS for the 1G drive (FBSD will get the whole thing) and will I need to change any geometry settings in FBSD? Finally, If and when I get all the above working, can I simply copy FreeBSD over to the new drive? Thanks in advance, Gerard. Additional info, if it helps: Pentium-75. 1G HD is master, 420M is slave.

However, if you're just experimenting and think FreeBSD using both processors would be neat (which I bet it is) go ahead.

If you are looking to figure out what the largest int on a machine is, reference INT_MAX in a C program. For size of integers, use the sizeof operator. I believe the following C program will print out the information you are looking for: #include #include #include void main (void) { printf (Sizeof (int): %d\nINT_MAX: %d\n", sizeof (int), INT_MAX); exit (0); } From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 23 14:29:50 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA17604 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 23 May 1997 14:29:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kevin.sunshine.net ([204.191.205.85]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA17599 for ; Fri, 23 May 1997 14:29:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (cagey@localhost) by kevin.sunshine.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA00339; Fri, 23 May 1997 14:24:50 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 23 May 1997 14:24:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Kevin Eliuk Reply-To: Kevin Eliuk To: Creighton K L Lai cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: installation on ide#2 In-Reply-To: <199705232014.NAA12933@hub.freebsd.org> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 23 May 1997, Creighton K L Lai wrote: Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html It is very well written and probably has the answer to your question and many others you are going to have. >Hello, > I was wondering if I can use my other hard drive (IDE bus#2 master >which should be /dev/wd3) to install.

I have asked this question myself, never got an answer. Jordan commented on it in list mail today, so perhaps something is actually going to be done now? With all due respect to the FreeBSD team, this is a long overdue change. In fact, if you are going to make the change now, you may as well consider waiting for 4.9.5-P2 which is expected "any day now" from the ISC. It is scheduled to include the same security fixes as 8.1(.1) and as many of the performance enhancements as do not depend on the switch to the 8.1 model. Ideally FreeBSD could incorporate both 8.x and 4.9.5-Px and ask which one you want to use at install time. As much as I'd like to see 8.1 moved into the "industry standard" I am afraid that the learning curve plus the inability to edit the libs are good reasons to stick with 4.9.5 as the default for now. In any case, I'm glad to hear that some action will be taken, it's about time. Doug PS, additional information can be found at http://www.isc.org with whom I have no affiliation other than using their stuff. :) You cannot bemoan the loss of that which you did not fight to protect.

Please excuse me not responding earlier, but my car basically broke down and I thus had a bit of a hazle with authorities consuming my leftover time. Anyways, let's get back to business. Thanks for all responses: On Sat, 10 May 1997, Victor A.

OOooops... I could have been going on for ages, then. But never mind as I upgraded now. And there's light at the end of the tunnel it seems. I got some responses from the modem though I'm not all 100% sure yet whether it's exactly what I want. Hang on on that topic as I want to walk through documentation again before fussing around again, but it seems to be working by now...

This *could* be a reason (though I would have to find out *WHY*). Well, I don't understand why. But anyways, I changed FLOW_HARD to FLOW_SOFT, and now I can send and receive faxes locally. Also mgetty gets out of the way as it should when I dial out. Maybe minicom didn't use hardware flow control at all? I will have to figure that out. Stay tuned for more information on this. I want to reread some sections of mgetty's documentation before raving about again. But surely I will try FLOW_HARD again if I now find out that everything is working.

I also wish better tools were available for searching the archives. There's a discussion of multiple operating systems at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html, or something like that. I have FreeBSD booting from a 2 gig second scsi hard drive, where it is the third slice, in the last 600 mg of the drive. What you might need is the other boot manager installed on the first hard drive (I have the OS/2 boot manager). The other issue is that whether or not this works may depend on either the scsi controller card (I have an Adaptec 1542CF) or the ability of the bios to remap something from below some relevant number of cylinders to above. However I have an AMI bios dated 1993 and it's nothing super as far as I know. So I would suggest you try the boot manager option.

However many of the changes (in paticular, /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf, /etc/netstart to /etc/rc.network, and the updated PPP) have not been reflected in the documentation, man pages, handbook, or info pages. Is this a result of by-passing the beta testers? It was a bit confusing to get up and running with the documentation incomplete. This may be a whine but potential new users of the system will quickly get lost. Maybe by-passing beta was not the best idea after all. Keep up the good work & let me know if I can help. Mitchell J.

Sure beats my other FreeBSD machine, a 386sx/16. BTW, my 486 is soon going to be going the way of all good computer hardware - to my sisters kids. I've got a nice S3/805 VLB video card (fast, flicker-free, and well supported by XF86) and an Adaptec 2742 VLB SCSI master card that they really won't need. If you're interested, I could probably be talked into parting with them for fire sale prices. I still have the original packaging, drivers, etc. for the Adaptec, and might be able to scare up the driver disk for the 805 card. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Apparently in their infinite lack of foresight, the latest rounds of BIOS stupidity in the PC world require that the entire operating system image be located within the first 1,024 cylinders on your disk. Something about the BIOS boot code not being smart enough to travel beyond cylinder address 1024 while loading the OS image. Doh! Modern BIOS do not seem to have this small-minded limitation. You may want to investigate upgrading your BIOS. You might speak with the vendor of your system or motherboard, or with one of the businesses that specialize in BIOS upgrades. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

FreeBSD doesn't care about the BIOS setting, except for the initial values. I recommend you check the values it read out of the BIOS with the values most hard disks display on their label nowadays. If they're different, use them... If you've successfully fdisk'ed and disklabelled your drive, why not do the newfs by hand? It recognizes all the settings automatically, so it needs no parameters. >Finally, If and when I get all the above >working, >can I simply copy FreeBSD over to the new drive? No and yes. Use cpio (see man cpio for _much_ help...). People say this will preserve hard links. To check, look if all files in /stand have 19 hard links (it's really just one file...) Otherwise, you may be wasting more space on the new drive than you needed on the old drive...

If you are not directly connected, download the /bin, /manpages, /doc, and /ports directories, put thm somewhere the install can see it (a DOS partition) and install from there.

Depends really. I chose a CVSUP, followed by a make world and installed the new stuff in /etc (from /usr/src/etc) by hand, checking each file carefully. I then rebuilt the kernel and rebooted. This was mainly because the server currently supports 128 virtual web servers and another hundred sites under it's main IP address. I didn't fancy having much down time. The machine was previously running RELENG_2_1_0, which at the time was 2.1.7.1. I used CVsup to update to RELENG_2_2 and did a make world. One thing to be careful of is that the 'make world' can make so of the old libraries either non-functional, or disappear altogether, and so it's a good idea to make a copy of /usr/lib before you start. If whilst you're building the system any running process complains that it can't find a particular library you can suspend the make and run 'ldconfig', (or run it in another window). This will make the operating system update its idea of which libraries are available. If the library it's looking for doesn't exist in /usr/lib anymore you can copy it in before running the ldconfig. (In my case on another machine libgnumalloc went missing, and the running process was linked against it.) One last thing. As the make world replaces the libraries, you'll find things like 'ps' and 'top' stop working. I think that this is because the internal structure of the process tables have changed between releases. When I installed the new kernel and rebooted everything was fixed. I tell you because it can be a bit of a panic inducer finding that you can't see what's going on. Other than that it didn't seem to cause any major problems with the processes that were running at the time. Good luck. Let me know if you need anything.

It calls a National Bureau of Standards telephone number in (I think) Fort Collins, CO every three days or so, after mid-night. The NBS server sends bytes to settime and measures the echo delay. Based on the delay, it sends an adjusted time and settime sets the FreeBSD clock. Accuracy in the 10 millisecond range. Check the "ports" distribution for "settime".

My internal modem is on COM3/cuaa2/sio2. sio0 and sio1 are serial ports for mouse. My dialup account with my ISP is PPP. My current question: Will it be possible to ftp FreeBSD 2.2 with this configuration? I tried using my 2.1.5 boot floppy, but it only allows the option of dialing out via sio0 or sio1. [BTW, I don't believe that I can move my modem to sio0 or sio1. I opened the box to check this morning, and I don't see any way to do it.] And, by-the-by, if anyone is successfully using an internal modem in COM3/cuaa2/sio2 with FreeBSD, I'd like some advice. I have un-commented out and commented out sio0 sio2 in the config file and recompiled my kernel, and after that I was able to get Minicom and Seyon to work--prior to that they didn't--but have not been able to get PPP to work. Thanks, all. -- ________________________________ Chris Booth cbooth@onyx.interactive.net From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 24 11:12:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA10060 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 24 May 1997 11:12:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from time.cdrom.com (root@time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA10055 for ; Sat, 24 May 1997 11:12:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from time.cdrom.com (jkh@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.9) with ESMTP id LAA06489; Sat, 24 May 1997 11:12:43 -0700 (PDT) To: "Christopher J.

The easiest way would be to boot up either into Windows 95 or DOS, and just type: fdisk /mbr That will rebuild the master boot record, which will effectively wipe out your boot manager. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * IRC: Data * Email: data@dal.net * * WWW: http://voyager.abac.com/data * IRC Admin, voyager.dal.net * * --== Try DALnet!

It's a simple configuration problem. I'm working on an article for FSJ (and the FreeBSD Journal, of course) that will address this issue. The problem you are experiencing is that you do not have a default route through the PPP interface when you first run PPP. In fact, you probably don't have a default route at all. When you try to send a TCP packet off site, the IP router cannot find a route to send the packet to, so it just drops the packet without ever giving it to PPP. To solve this, you need to add a default route via the PPP interface when you first bring it up, even though the link isn't really up yet. To do this, you must first pick an IP address for both ends of the PPP link. Don't worry if you have dynamically assigned addresses -- they don't have to be exaclty right. The best way to do this is to look in your logs and use an addresses that you have actually gotten before. Use the /bits-to-modify notation to inform PPP it is acceptable to change the addresses when the link comes up. In my ppp.conf, I have the following entry for my dialup to Xmission: # # Xmission PPP/PAP dial-up # xmission: set authname softweyr set authkey xxxxxx accept pap set openmode active disable pap deny chap disable chap deny pred1 disable pred1 deny lqr disable lqr set phone 9900900 set ifaddr 199.104.124.49/0 198.60.22.8/0 # # Add a default route through the interface we just created so all # off-site packets are forced through it. # add 0 0 198.60.22.8 Note the last line, and the comments preceding it. This adds a default route through the "phantom" 198.60.22.8 interface on the set ifaddr line. This route will direct all IP packets not bound for your LAN to the PPP interface, allowing iijppp to demand-dial at startup. Once your link has been established, the following entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup will delete the existing default route and add a new default route via the new interface address: # # Add his address as the default gateway. This has the added # benefit of making *any* packet routed off our network redial # the link. Of course, this makes casual name lookups # expensive. # MYADDR: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR The "delete 0 0" line deletes the existing default route, avoid error messages when the new route is added on the next line. This should get you up and demand-dialing. Let me know if you have any additional problems. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

What I want to be able to do is dial that site using fbsd's ppp, and have my network be connected to the internet via that link. Now, the problem is, the other site assigns my side 203.22.80.21, whereas my network is 203.1.96.0,and the server is 203.1.96.5. For other reasons, I would prefer to have my end of the ppp link set as 203.1.96.4. (I will have a 'permanent', permanent link again soon). At the moment I dial up using my '95 box, talking to both sides of the network. The '95 box can't forward packets obviously. I wish it could. The big question is. How do I set up ppp and routing, so that the FBSD box can dial the other network, accept the given number, and route packets across the link, so that my network behaves as it should, visible to the rest of the internet. Or can I even do that? I've gone around in so many circles that I'm lost now.

You haven't done anything "wrong" and you don't need to fix it. What you have done is installed Kerberos without actually configuring it. su (and the r family) try to use Kerberos if it is installed. To get rid of the message, use su -K. Or rlogin -K etc... You can also ignore it. All of the programs that do this work fine, aside from printing the message, when you are in an interactive session. For scripts using any of these utilities you will want to add the -K option so the output doesn't look like an error.

You need to give us more information. Use real domain names so we can actually take a look. Using fake domain names in trouble reports only makes it harder to figure out what the problem is. You should also include the output of netstat -rn (eliminating names also helps solve problems :) and the networking section of /etc/sysconfig.

Without digging into the source I'd allow that you may be right since most connections start with a named request which is UDP. Are you running your own name server? Bad idea on a dialup unless you *really* know what you are doing. (not a slam, just a comment) If you are running your own server, remove any entries for off-site machines from the zone files. Any other symptoms? Lots of people use ijppp with no problems.

Unfortunately, when I follow the instructions in the manual it 'makes' for quite awhile then quits with: loading kernel machdep.o: Undefined symbol '_netisr_set' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 Stop # Another problem I have is that mtools isn't working correctly, so I can't attach a copy of MYKERNAL (configuration file) with this, but it is an exact copy of the GENERIC file sup- plied with the system with everything I don't have commented out. Also, I made sure that the lines: device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr options PSM_CHECKSYNC were in the file. Any suggestions? Is there anything else I need to do to get it to see my mouse? By the way, I like FreeBSD (even though I can't get it working on my system, I tried it in school), but in 'The Complete FreeBSD' the statement is made "It is probably easier to install FreeBSD than any other PC operating system..." Given that it requires recompiling the kernel just to get it to recognize a fairly common type of mouse, I don't agree with that statement. Oh one more thing - can you recommend a currently (and commonly) available video card that works with XF86? I had to put BSD on my old 486 because the card in my new computer isn't supported. Anyway, thanks for your help. BTW, my system is a 486, 2 IDE (no EIDE), 2 floppies, Matsushita CD (works fine), nothing else.

I've gone around in so many circles that I'm > lost now. Yes, you are. First, lets get the basic routing straightened out. Your "router" as you call it doesn't have an IP address. Each interface on the router has an IP address. This is why I hate the term "hostname", it really isn't a hostname, its an interface name (and address). Now that we've got that settled, you will see that your router must have *two* IP addresses -- one for the LAN, which I assume is ethernet, and one for the WAN, in this case, the PPP link. The LAN interface on your router is 203.1.96.5, which is the interface for network 203.1.96.0. The physical link layer for this network is your ethernet. A route for this network is automagically added when your system boots and configures the ethernet interface. The WAN interface on your router, which is your end of the PPP link, is the 203.22.80.21 address assigned by your ISP. This is the interface for *everything except* 203.1.96.0. In order to make your machine route to the internet, you will need to add a "default route," or a route to address 0.0.0.0, via the *other end* of the PPP link, when the link comes up. This is done with the 'add' keyword in your ppp.linkup file if you're using user-mode ppp on FreeBSD (aka iij-ppp). Now you can see how this works: when the IP output layer receives a packet, it first checks to see if it has an explicit route for the packet. If the packet is destined for your network, 203.1.96.xxx, it will route it to the ethernet. Once it has checked *all* of the explicit routes, just one in your case, it will then check to see if you have a default route. If so, it will forward the packet to that interface. If not, it will drop the packet. Write back if you need specific help with configuration files and such; I have a three-day weekend and a little bit of time to spare. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Sounds like a good combination. I've got the same configuration, just with one Atlas II. If your firmware isn't the LXY4 revision, you'll need to download firmware upgrades from Quantum to upgrade it to that firmware level.

Yes, that's a good combination, IMO. I have an ASUS P/I-P65UP5 with a C-P6ND cpu card, with two 256K 200MHz Pentium Pros, running the SMP kernel. It has 8 SIMM slots (up to 512MB RAM), and 5 PCI slots, which is quite handy. There are plenty of other good motherboards out there, though. > Secondly I'm wondering what EtherExpress PRO card is being used in > the wcarchive.cdrom.com machine, there doesn't seem to be any > specific information exept that it's a model 100B.

Most ASUS motherboards aren't designed to work with SIMMs that have more than 25 chips on them. I haven't yet seen any 64MB Parity SIMMs that had less than 36 chips on board. I *have* seen 8-chip EDO SIMMs, but they weren't parity. I'm sure that 64MB parity SIMMs based on 64Mbit technology will be out before long, but I haven't yet seen any. > Adaptec 3940UW PCI SCSI adapter Good choice, IMO. > 2 * Quantum AtlasII QM34550ALSW 4.5GB UW SCSI3 harddrives Also a good choice, but you'll need to upgrade the firmware if it has LXY1 or something similar.
