If I run slattach without mgetty, everything connects fine... I have a ZyXel 1496E+ irf that makes a difference... I am running slattach with uucp locking. When I 1st start slattach I get the following error message: slattach[343]: SIGHUP on /dev/ttyd0 (sl-1); running /usr/local/bin/expsend -SH -G 2048 -F10 -P 2588827 -L /var/slip/frshaire.expsend -t /dev/ttyd0 /etc/config/slip/frshaire.expsend I'm not sure why the unit number is "-1", but it eventually gets set correctly.

Well, realize that compiliing the kernel requires disk space to hold the .o files and the finished kernel. You could build a symlink tree using the x 'lndir' utility, but you still need some space to hold the output files. lndir /cdrom/src/sys /usr/src/sys Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 25 13:11:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA00783 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 13:11:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts16-line3.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.203]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA00776 for ; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 13:11:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA00293; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 13:11:19 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 13:11:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "Francis Percival C.

If anything, you should be using /dev/cuaa4 for dialout. ttyd? is for dialin / getty's and such. Try using a utility like cu/tip or seyon for X (something interactive) to test the modems.

I tried also using that didn't work either. Well, what it appears to be doing is creating a tar archive to a floppy disk, backing up the files in backup.list, and outputting any messages to backup.log. I don't know whether /dev/fd0 or /dev/rfd0 is the right device though. It's dumping the output archive *directly* to the floppy disk, no filesystem or anything. > Any suggestions on how to pipe a file to tar to read input files? That should be correct. My guess would be that the the files in backup.list have to be on one line, like "/etc/rc /etc/rc.local /etc/netstart ..." and so on. Try looking at the tar man page 'man tar' for info.

For FreeBSD you want to look out for BSD-compatible software, specifically anything for BSDi/ BSD/OS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or FreeBSD. FreeBSD does have some support for most Linux apps through the emulator. SVR4 apps with any complicated stuff will require severe amounts of porting to work, probably more than is worthwhile unless the tool means a lot to you. A bit of history: SVR4 (System V Release 4) is the original AT&T UNIX. Many UNIces (such as Solaris) are based on it. BSD is an alternative to SVR4 developed by UC Berkeley (thus "Berkeley Software Distribution"). FreeBSD and others such as SunOS are based on that. Generally, SVR4 and BSD vary on many things, and as such aren't 100% cross-compatible. Most software that supports BSD-style OSs should work under others, perhaps requiring some porting to make up for system-specific elements in the code. Hope this helps.

While I'm not certain I agree, here goes... Is there any way to make the C compiler use much stronger typing. For example, I would really like it to warn about assigning signed variables to unsigned ones. (I say this after spending way too much time hunting down an unnecessary bug caused by the lack of such a warning). Heck, optimally, I sure wouldn't mind if it were to give me a warning when assigning a variable of type TYPDEF to another identical variable declared without the TYPDEF'd definition. For example, -- signed int a; unsigned int b; typedef int AT; AT aa; int bb; void main () { a = b; aa = bb; } -- would yield two warnings. I've tried just about every -W option listed, but none of them seem to even come close. Is there anyway to massage the compiler into complaining about these things? -- -- tIM...HOEk The opinions expressed above are mine, and if my employer shares them, that's his hard luck.

I tried it. I typed, # cu -l cuaa4 Connected. After this I notice that the modem does not go off hook. And further more, when I tried to type AT, I don't see anything displayed on the screen. I know it's supposed to show 'AT' as I typed it. I thought maybe I referenced the wrong port, so I tried it all from cuaa5 to cuaab but I got same results. I hope this piece of info helped.

I'm currently using Netscape-gold 3.0b8, although I've also tried their 3.0 release version (in both cases, the x86-unknown-bsd version). I have a couple of problems running it: 1. It complains about syntax errors and missing keysyms, even when I use the netscape-supplied XKeysymDB file. A sample: Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate Warning: ... found while parsing 'osfActivate:activate()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfAddMode Warning: ... found while parsing 'osfAddMode:toggle-add-mode()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp Warning: ... found while parsing 'osfHelp:Help()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel Warning: ... found while parsing 'osfCancel:process-cancel()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfLeft Warning: ... found while parsing 's c osfLeft:backward-word(extend)' 2. The other problem is that it does not recognize my backspace or delete key, which, given that I am not a perfect typist, does cause problems ;). I asked Jordan, but he didn't seem to know about it... anyone know what's going on here? Thanks, Sean.

When we try to use the Dial-Up Networking stuff from Win95 we have a problem we cant fix. If we set Dial-Up Networking on Win95 so that a window appears on the screen we get a login prompt. We enter the correct username and password and tell the Dial-Up Networking dialog box to continue. It works and starts a PPP session and we are connected. If we then set up Dial-Up Networking on Win95 so that it does not give us the dialog box, the system (Win95) waits for a long time and finally says that it could not make a connection. What is the problem? Thanks.

The port of netscape puts the real binary in netscape.bin and creates a file called netscape that sets these variables. But the port it uses is almost inevitably out of date. If you then get a more recent binary, you can copy it to netscape.bin without having to do any sort of configuration. This too is covered in http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html.

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive.

The correct term for this activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it.

AT OK I get the results above. So, really there is nothing wrong with the modem. It just won't respond when I type AT commands if it was connected to one port in the BOCA board. > > Did you make your device files after compiling/installing/re-booting > you system??

So, this isn't really a problem except that you don't want to have to type the ppp username and password, right?

What is the problem? Thanks. I think the problem is that it needs a script containing the username and password. There's something called a dial-up scripting tool that comes on the cdrom version of Win95 and may be downloadable from Microsoft's web page.

It was, of course, a problem with my XF86Config file rather than the driver. I knew this, or assumed this. My quandary was how-to fix my older config file that did run under X3.1.1. I did this is stages. First, after reinstalling the older driver, I plugged in more and more data (configuration settings) from my old /etc/XF86Config file. This involved over a dozen tests, reboots, re-resetting, retrying. When I finally had the new /etc/XF86Config file working with the older driver I knew that I was 80% of the way done. BTW, I used the xf86config binary according to Greg Lehey's instructions (INSTALLING FREEBSD) to generate the new template. ---Good book, Greg.--- After the old driver worked with the new config file I pointed the new X3.1.2 driver at it. There were several things to straighten out, but things finally worked. An additional bonus was that `xvidtune' worked with my new setup and I did some very fine tuning with that tool. Last fall when I originally got X to work, figuring this out took days of trial-and-erroring a few hours at a time. Fine tuning was strictly by hand, and once things were acceptable, I left the configuration alone. With this newer version of X, we are all better off. Two weekends for 2.1.5 compared to 10-12 days for 2.0.5. ...So hats off to the XFree86 team and to the FreeBSD team. gary kline From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 25 21:05:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA15402 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 21:05:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rmii.com (rainbow.rmii.com [166.93.8.14]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA15396 for ; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 21:05:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost by rmii.com with smtp (Smail-3.1.29.1 #10) id m0uusvW-001CeuC; Sun, 25 Aug 96 22:05 MDT Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 22:05:26 -0600 (MDT) From: Stephen Raher To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: I am truely stuck...

How about a different approch - always use UUCP, but setup UUCP to fallback to a TCP transport? I've got mine setup to try dialing out with a normal phone call, then if that fails, try a TCP connection to my UUCP gateway. That way if my auto-dial PPP has the line, I still get out. The mail stays queued in the same place regardless of the state of the modem and everything seems to get thru. The only thing it does require is that you have TCP access to your UUCP gateway system (which I do). If you want my UUCP config files, let me know & I'll forward them.

There are probably some Xenix-en around, some other ancient stuff as well, and there is minix for xt and 286. I've tried minix once (just for kicks.) It had the taste of a very early unix for pdp-11 with split data/instruction 64K address spaces (which is the way they implemented it in Minix, if I understand correctly.)

No that's definitely not true. I do the X-Developer upgrade from 2.1 to 2.1.5 with ftp from the German mirror and notice the same message of the dynamic linker. I checked that all the libs are correct installed and wonder how in a XFree86 Release (3.1.2E if I remember right) could be a binary witch is linked against libX11.so.6.1 but in the lib dir I only find libX11.so.6.0.

I'm the maintainer of the xperfmon++ port for FreeBSD. The original author is to busy to do any improvements on the prog. However it was really hard work to write the system dependent part new for FreeBSD and to fix some bugs concerning the wrong resizing behavior under X11. If you want to add another display you have to edit a lot of files and structures so it's not really easy, but I'm sure it's possible. Why do you need max/min values for the graphs? They are autoscaling!

Thats correct, But did you do this AFTER enabling COM_MULTIPORT, recompiling and rebooting? ie: After you saw the boot messages saying that sio4-11 are found?? I'll run down the steps as I see em from what I've read, I have not actually done it with a Boca board. Add options COM_MULTIPORT, sio4-11 to kernel config as stated in man 4 sio. # config YOURKERNEL # cd ../../compile/YOURKERNEL # make # make install # halt (shutdown now) Power down, Install Properly configured Boca Board. Power up, boot messages should pick up the sio4-11 # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV cuaa4 (thru 11) # sh MAKEDEV ttyd4 (thru 11) (I would reboot here, Although I belive it's not needed, I'm just that way) # cu -l cuaa4 Connected AT (should result: OK) If not something is broke! and is above what I can do for you. I personally don't use Boca boards so I know very little about them. > > > > > device sio11 at isa? port 0x338 tty flags 0xb05 Is this what your sio11 looks like?? >From the man 4 sio page it states: device sio11 at isa? port 0x338 tty flags 0xb05 irq 12 vector siointr ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That is the MASTER PORT! according to 'flags 0xb05' Change the IRQ to fit your Boca board of course! -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

It probably just goes too much against the deliberately weakly typed philosophy of C to require this kind of help from compilers.

My question is this: the machine has an EIDE CD-ROM, but when I boot from floppy, the install process says it doesn't find a CD-ROM when it gets to the part about selecting an install medium. I notice the manual states that the IDE CD-ROM support should be considered alpha quality. Should I simply consider what I'm seeing as a manifestation of that, or has anyone gotten the CD to be seen on one of these machines? If so, did you do anything special to achieve this? I've gotten around the problem by copying stuff off the CD-ROM in Windows to a DOS partition and installing that way, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get the install process to see my CD-ROM. Is the IDE support better in 2.1.5?

(see "lndir" from the X-files) Then as you attempt to update, you will get errors because the file is "ro". I know that it is a bit of a pain to remove the link, but a good filter on the output file can automate it. If there is additional interest in doing this, I might try to arrange for ctm to do it automatically.

This isn't uncommon. Since you're installing 2.1.0, did you use 'atapi.flp' or 'atapiflp.bat' for the boot floppy image? Secondly, try moving the CDROM between the primary and secondary IDE controller(s)? > I notice the manual states that the IDE CD-ROM support should be considered > alpha quality.

It probably is. The alpha-ness is primarily in the detection code -- there are some situations where it won't find the CD, and others will. > I've gotten around the problem by copying stuff off the CD-ROM in > Windows to a DOS partition and installing that way, but I'm wondering > if there's a way to get the install process to see my CD-ROM.

Sounds like the boot blocks are completely confused as to the boot device. You are booting from the _hard disk_ and not the install floppy, are you? You may need to rewrite the bootblocks using disklabel.

Ouch. One of the techies can decode this for you. I'd ignore it for the time being. If it happens again and/or you are getting programs that are dying with signal 11s and 12s, then get your computer's memory and processor cache examined and replaced. Your computer's specs (CPU, memory, motherboard, amount of swap, etc) would be helpful auxiliary information, in case it happens to be some sort of known bug in some hardware device.

Use your modem's AT commands to dial up. So to dial, type 'atdt 9999999' where 9999999 is the number for your ISP. After you CONNECT, you should see the normal login sequence for your ISP. Login as to start a PPP session. PPP will take over from there. If you don't know how to start a PPP session on your ISP's machine, ask them.

The problem is with your hardware - Some Compaqs violate the PCI standard and thus are totally broke in regards to FreeBSD. I suggest you return your Compaq and get a machine that works.

This sounds more like a problem with the patch. I'm not experienced with the patch in question so I'd try re-applying the patch and trying again.

Is this 2.2 Release some sort of test development release?

You might want to look into NetBSD, a similar system with the same origins. That system runs on a number of platforms including some older models of the Apple Macintosh.

No that's definitely not true. I do the X-Developer upgrade from 2.1 to 2.1.5 with ftp from the German mirror and notice the same message of the dynamic linker.

I thought this would mean corrupt files, but fsck reports no problems. Any ideas? Don't know if this is germane, but most of the files appear to be users web page files that probably arrived via ftp from a pc. 2.) On a 'shutdown -r', the reboot fails.

My system contains the following distributions: minimal binaries + manual pages kernel sources XFree86 I don't imagine that anything has changed in XFree86 since the 2.1.0 distribution. Is that true? I also have added various packages and ports from the 2.1.0 CDROM distribution. Might I have to recompile or reinstall any of these? If so, must I download new packages and ports, or just reinstall/recompile the ones on my 2.1.0 CDROM? My question is, which files should I have to download to make the transition from FreeBSD 2.1.0 to FreeBSD 2.1.5 without rebuilding the entire system? I presume that I should download the bin and (sys) src and possibly the manpages distributions. Is there anything that I have missed? I presume that I should download a new installation floppy image to use the "upgrade to 2.1.5" option. I would just purchase the CDROM, but I am waiting on the new vfatfs filesystem and I can't afford much at this point. I want to remain current until the release with vfatfs. Then I will buy another CDROM. Thank You, J.

We try to create a backup on disk with cpio such as 'find . |cpio -ovcB > mytest', and many of the files give us a message such as 'cpio: /somepath/somefile : truncating inode number'. I thought this would mean corrupt files, but fsck reports no problems. Any ideas? Don't know if this is germane, but most of the files appear to be users web page files that probably arrived via ftp from a pc. 2.) On a 'shutdown -r', the reboot fails. It says something about 'keyboard reset failed, attempting cpu shutdown' and then it just hangs. We've tried replacing the keyboard and using the option 'broken_keyboard_reset', but to no avail. Suggestions? Please respond directly to jlwest@tseinc.com, as I do not subscribe to this list. Any help is MOST appreciated!

T Included Message Ends I'm afraid I have had different experiences, specifically with 3c509s and 2.1.5R. An ftp install worked fine from one of the secondary US FreeBSD servers with a P5-100 PCI, otherwise stock, motherboard with a 3c509 (50-90 kb/s). However, after about a day, the network was hung, netstat -r timing out. Same thing happened after swapping in another 3c509. After changing to an old 3c507, system has been up for a week now with no network problems other than it being a dog when talking to Suns and SGIs. I would guess that this is the card not keeping up with the workstations, a known problem, at least in the past. I agree these cards are probably OK (or at least as OK as it gets) under Win/DOS. Due to the driver quality, I buy $25 NE2000 clones for noncritical ISA machines (and for home use), SMC cards for more critical ISA boxes and will buy DEC chip PCI cards for servers in the future.

I was an engineer for Novell/USG (USL) who worked on, among other things, kernel FS code. The recent SCO offer (and the supposedly yet-to-come offer from them on UnixWare) makes this a lot easier. I have been waiting on the devfs so that I can code physical-to-logical device translation drivers for SVR4/SCO partitioning and disklabelling and treat the things as raw devices; this support, at least, is now immanent. If you are planning on working on FS code in the very near future, then I'd say go ahead. Otherwise, I hope the lanscape will be changing pretty radically pretty soon -- if you have done enough FS work that you can abstract framework components from implementation, then you should be pretty safe for any long term projects that you want to pursue. You may want to consider holding off until the Lite2 integration has been completed; since it changes some of the architecture. I don't think it;s safe to assume that the changes from that direction are done either. Your best bet would be to get in contact with David Greenman or John Dyson, since they make architectural decisions, and the FS is one place that will be hit (one way or the other) by almost all architectural changes.

My system contains the following distributions: minimal binaries + manual pages kernel sources XFree86 I don't imagine that anything has changed in XFree86 since the 2.1.0 distribution. Is that true? I also have added various packages and ports from the 2.1.0 CDROM distribution. Might I have to recompile or reinstall any of these? If so, must I download new packages and ports, or just reinstall/recompile the ones on my 2.1.0 CDROM? My main question is, which files should I have to download to make the transition from FreeBSD 2.1.0 to FreeBSD 2.1.5 without rebuilding the entire system? I presume that I should download the bin and (sys) src and possibly the manpages distributions. Is there anything that I have missed? I presume that I should download a new installation floppy image to use the "upgrade to 2.1.5" option. I would just purchase the CDROM, but I am waiting on the new vfatfs filesystem and I can't afford much at this point. I want to remain current until the release with vfatfs. Then I will buy another CDROM. Thank You, J.

Speaking on a theoretical level, I agree that cuaXX devices should not block on open for lack of carrier (DCD, -clocal) however, could not flow control, ie CTR/RTS still prevent the modem from sending chars back to the computer? In this case its not the problem as Francis has already tried (and failed with) my suggested experiment. The basic problem with this board is that BOCA uses a RJ11 cable that provides 6 wires. They chose to use: 1: CTS 2: signal ground 3: Rx 4: Tx 5: frame ground 6: RTS Frame ground and signal ground are redundant. If the combo chip provides a DCD pin one could do a simple hack with a rs232/ttl level converter chip to replace the frame ground lines with DCD inputs. I think you could live without DTR, either by strapping it in the connector, or with some modems, setting their "DTR always on" switch. All you would loose is programatic reset/data mode breakouts. Does anyone know the part # for the combo UART chips used on the BOCA 8? My board is in a machine that I can't easily get to at the moment.

Without the route, I still cannot ping that ip. Since the syntax of ifconfig command does not appear to make any difference, perhaps something else needs to be setup? The primary ip of 152.160.182.16 has absolutely no problems. --Stan From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 27 12:42:03 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA24258 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Aug 1996 12:42:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phs.k12.ar.us (root@phs.k12.ar.us [165.29.117.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA24253 for ; Tue, 27 Aug 1996 12:42:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from garman@localhost) by phs.k12.ar.us (8.6.12/8.6.9) id OAA10148; Tue, 27 Aug 1996 14:20:21 -0500 Date: Tue, 27 Aug 1996 14:20:21 -0500 (CDT) From: Jason Garman To: Joel Sutton cc: Quanah Mount , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: PPP In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 27 Aug 1996, Joel Sutton wrote: > I had some similar problem when I was first getting used to PPP.

Reply-to: adrchew@pop.jaring.my Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42a) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I need some advice in setting up a proxy server via dial-up access (dynamic IP allocation). From my understanding this is possible via the socks proxy, with the dynamic IP being allocated to the serial port while the ethernet interface is allocated an IP in an unused range (eg. Class C 192.168.0.*). My objective is to get a small network connected to the Net for WWW, FTP and email... Netscape + Eudora clients on '95 and Mac OS. I'm not too sure how to set the client configuration and if there are any limitations to the proxies. If I configure PPP to do dial-in on demand, configure and run socks, configure TCP/IP on the local LAN, is there any requirements? There is some mention of how to resolve DNS and socks requiring DNS, so does BIND need to be setup too, if so, which particular BIND setup (caching-only?). Or specify a nameserver of our ISP? Any further thoughts appreciated. Btw, I'll be using 2.1.0R for now, 2.1.5 should be arriving in a few days. --- Adrian Chew Email->adrchew@pop.jaring.my Alternate Dimensions Figure Skating World "Cutting Edge Web Designs" "Your Online Skating Source" http://turnpike.net/~adweb http://turnpike.net/~adweb/fsw http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/htbin/pks-extract-key.pl?op=get&search=0xD384F34 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 27 13:21:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA27459 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Aug 1996 13:21:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horton.iaces.com ([204.147.87.98]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA27451 for ; Tue, 27 Aug 1996 13:21:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id PAA13113; Tue, 27 Aug 1996 15:20:34 -0500 From: "Paul T.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk After the removeable drive in one of our TI laptops decided to leave while the system was running (and wiped out quite a bit of the system on it's way out), I decided to reload from the 2.1.5 CD I just received. The laptop was previously running 2.1.5; it had gotten there via the -stable path (I rebuilt the world every 2 or 3 weeks while -stable work was going on). The easiest way to reload it (I thought) would be to mount the CD in another FreeBSD machine, and install over a laplink cable. I've done it a number of times in the past with 2.1 without much trouble. However.... what combination of Release Name and URL do I need to use to do the install this way? The CD is mounted on machine C as "/cdrom"; with the 2.1 sysinstall I could set (in the Options Menu) Release Name to blank, ftp user as myself, specify an URL of ftp://C//cdrom, and let it rip. The 2.1.5 sysinstall informs me that it can't CD to `', and can't find any of the distributions I'd requested. Next I tried setting the Release Name to `cdrom' and the URL to `ftp://C/../../..', which should have put me in the root directory. This time, it claims it can't CD to `cdrom'. I can't load 2.1.5 with the 2.1 sysinstall, since root.flp doesn't exist anymore. Any suggestions?

It's run 1.1.5, 2.0.5, now 2.1, and soon to move to 2.1.5. It acts as DNS primary for 2 class "C" networks. The DNS secondaries are also FBSD 2.1 systems at a local uni that is our ISP. Their systems haven't been able to zone transfers since about May, which is a damn long time. It seems that dig @130.102.39.106 staidan.qld.edu.au. axfr doesn't work on the secondaries, although it does work on some other non freebsd systems. However it does work at the console on the primary. 130.102.39.106 is the address of the ppp interface, the system's address is actually 203.12.39.1, but I can't see how that would make a difference. Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? I can't find any problem in the named tables, no IP filtering is active.. I'm lost. Please lets not have everyone try the dig command "just to see". My link is a single very busy modem. I'm not on the list, so a 'cc' would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter.

Your computer is busted, that's about it. :( You'll just have to resort to cntl-alt-del or the reset button. Use shutdown -h ... which halts it and says 'press any key to reboot' or something, when you get that hit the three finger salute.

I have no clue why that URL works, it points to C//cdrom on the local machine (whatever that means). The way you should do this is configure Ethernet device 'lp0' with a fake network on both machines (ie 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2) and then do the ftp transfer. Use a URL like: ftp://10.0.0.1/cdrom/ Realize this does an ANONYMOUS ftp transfer unless you configure otherwise on the options screen.

Everything was going fine except when it asked me for confirmation to install it on a freebsd partition i have created , after confirming i get msg that "Write failure on transfar...." and after that i get the msg that "unable to transfer the bin distribution from wdOs1."(ms-dos partition) Since i have a proprietory cd-rom(creative lab cd-rom drive --quad speed), i was unable to install(novice installation) from cd-rom. So i copied the dists/bin to c:\freebsd\bin and also floppies directory to c:\freebsd\floppies. Then i tired to do a minimal installaiton and went through the process of installing form ms-dos partition but at the end got the msg mentioned above. I will play with installtion more to see that i can work it out or not. Meanwhile if anybody cab provide me with some info on this (so that life would be a little easier) i would greatly appreciate it. Also i was wondering how can install from the cd-ROM i have? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My machine is a pentium75 with 8 megs of ram(soon to be upgraded) with a total of 1.2gb Hd (currently available 847mb) running win95/msdos7.00.

The primary problems can come from lesser-used daemons such as the r-utilities which can be spoofed. These are enabled by default and most people don't need them. I would suggest picking up a book on security. There is a new edition of an Internet security handbook that O'Reilly has, I think it's called "Practical Internet Security" or somesuch. Also check out the comp.unix.security (?) newsgroup & FAQ, and CERT (http://www.cert.org). If you haven't already, pick up the UNIX System Administration Handbook by Evi Nemeth et al.; that has a small section on security too. Hope this helps.

Borrow someone's IBM CreditCard Ethernet or 3COM Ethernet card, and either do an FTP install off another machine with the CD mounted under anonymous ftp or directly from ftp.freebsd.org.

Thanks though! It may be that PPP is looking at the wrong serial port. At the ppp> prompt, do 'show modem' and look at the Device: line. /dev/cuaa0 is COM1, /dev/cuaa1 is COM2. If it's wrong, do 'set device /dev/cuaa?' where ? is the proper port. Note that the boot floppy doesn't support anything above COM2 due to hardware conflicts.

Sounds like you want to use 'options COMCONSOLE'. Just after the Boot: prompt, it redirects all console activity out sio0.

Is there a > (hopefully, easy :) way to do this? I just went through this. 1. Run sysinstall on the new disk, set up the partitions as you like, and just install the bin distribution (or select a strange dist like games and let it fail). This will set up the partitions and boot block. 2. Reboot to the OLD copy of FreeBSD in single user mode, mount partitions as normal (mount -u /;mount -a) 3. Mount the new paritions one at a time. Use a command like so to copy the data: cd /mnt # or whatever the mountpoint is tar cf - /filesystem | tar xf - # replace '/filesystem' with the real FS # to copy Use 'tar' since 'cp' if called with the wrong flags, will screw up the permissions. I had this unfortunate experience. ;( 4. If you want, edit /etc/fstab (saving a backup) to reflect the disk's current config and boot it by typing "wd(1,a)/kernel" (or what's appropriate) at the boot: prompt. This is to check that the copy worked and the system will at least load the kernel. 5. Copy back the old fstab, move the disk into position, and boot up. Backing up before starting is a *really* good idea, if you already do so.

Hm. It's possible the package was truncated and needs to be rebuilt. Try emailing the maintainer (ache@freebsd.org) and inform him of the problem. Make sure you are downloading in 'binary' mode too. The packages are on ftp.freebsd.org in /pub/FreeBSD/packages. Astrolog is probably in ...../packages/x11/astrolog-*.tgz. > Is this correct? Do these bundled "packages" (in this example, > astrolog.tar.gz) not contain source code? Yes. The packages are pre-built binaries.

I've had generally good experience with packages, with some notable exceptions (such as xemacs).

Here is my quick checklist for upgrading: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /etc. you will at _very_least_ want services back, perhaps sysconfig for reference. 2) Boot the new install floppy and run the update procedure. Mount your filesystems with NO NEW NEWFS (so the line reads 'UFS N'), select the same stuff you did before (except XFree86), and hit 'commit'. 3) Take note of the files changed during the second stage of the upgrade. 4) WHen you get to the prompt: . copy services from your backup directory (it's been replaced with one three lines long) . Edit sysconfig and re-config like you did before. (It's completely changed, you'll want to just re-do it from scratch) .

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

I'm running 2.1-STABLE on a host of machines. What follows is a post I made to comp.lang.perl.misc regarding what I thought was a perl program, but now seems more like the rsh problem. Can anyone suggest any workarounds for this? Any help will be appreciated. The post, which describes exactly what's going on, follows. Thanks for any help/input, -S --Original Article-- From: steve@zip0.zipnet.net (Steve Bernacki Jr) Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.misc Subject: Rsh and Perl problem in FreeBSD Date: 27 Aug 1996 20:50:05 GMT Message-ID: <4vvn1t$3hl@news.zipnet.net> I really hope someone can shed some light on the following question because I'm pulling my hair out on it. I have a daemon running on machine X which accepts connections and does some processing. Part of this processing includes running a program (via rsh) to another host, machine Y. This all works great for a while, and then it suddenly freezes. When it freezes, the rsh call gets executed on machine Y (I know this for a fact; the last line in the program mails me.) The program then terminates on machine Y, but the rsh on machine X is still going, just hanging there. Here's how I'm calling machine Y: $result = `/usr/bin/rsh -n -lroot mail /usr/local/sbin/run_dat_code param`; This works consecutively for about 15 times, then hangs. The daemon on machine X is actually run from my tty, so it still has a tty attached. Could this be the problem? The daemon tries to correct this situation by closing STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR, but this doesn't seem to help things. If this is the problem, how can I lose my controlling terminal in perl4?

Try placing a small primary DOS partition on the disk, then delete it and put the FreeBSD slice over it in FreeBSD's fdisk editor. 2) If you used FIPS, you may be running into a problem with it and the msdosfs code on the floppy.

Er, Creative CDs _are_ supported under the matcd driver. You just need to configure it appropriately.

Usually Win95 will interfere with rawrite and screw up the whole thing.

I had the same experience with 2.1.0 boot floppies (more than once). rawrite worked just fine in a win95 window (no DOS mode or anything). However, installing BootEasy didn't work from Win95 even in DOS mode.

I am running the windows manager fvwm which looks nice together with xdm, which I run it from rc.local. I have the problem that my virtual screen is much larger that my screen so it is not easy to work there. Do I have to change my xf86config file to get it properly, or I have to start xdm with some indication about the geometry. One more thing, all thing move when I reach one of the borders of the screen, how can avoid this?

Your addresses are 9 - 00001001 10 - 00001010 and we'll throw in 8 and 11: 8 - 00001000 11 - 00001011 then the netmask 252 252 - 11111100 So with a 2 bit subnet you get 00, 01, 10 and 11.

No, `C' is the machine with the CDROM, and (per Jordan) the double `/' after the machine name means `start from root' instead of `start from $HOME'.

I bought a Seagate 2.1GB IDE hard drive from Corporate Systems Center. It's a refurbished drive with a 90 day warrantee. Already, the hard drive failed after less than 30 days in my hands. CSC has agreed to take it back and repair or replace it since I am still within my warrantee period. They tell me refurbished drives are not a problem. My question is: In the opinion of the experienced, did I make a wise investment? After all, I can buy a new Maxtor 1.6GB IDE hard drive from say COMPUSA for about $229. I paid CSC $269 for the 2.1GB Seagate back in the beginning of August. COMPUSA also gives me better warrantee options. It seems that I got a good price for the high capacity hard drive from CSC, but I have much less security. I will _more_than_likely_ not need the capacity beyond the 1.6GB I would get with say, COMPUSA's deal. Any comments or opinions are much appreciated.

This is probably not a FreeBSD-only question, but since I've only tried this with FreeBSD (don't want to let dos infect my hard disks, yet :-)) I wanted to see if any of you have seen this problem before. First, some background... I have a generic P90 clone system with a CMD640 onboard ide controller with two interfaces (both enabled.) On the first ide interface (wdc0) I have a 730meg hd and an atapi cdrom which were factory-installed. The hd is jumpered to be the master and the cdrom is the slave. Both work fine. Recently I received a new 2gig ide hd and attached it to the second ide interface (wdc1) jumpering it as the master. FreeBSD 2.1.5 recognizes all of my hardware: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 696MB (1427328 sectors), 1416 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordy wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): wd2: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S and reading/writing to all of the devices works like a charm (well except for writing to the cdrom of course :-)) I successfully fdisk'ed and disklabel'ed the new disk, and can mount it. _However_, when I try to do something like `cd /mnt/usr (this is the new drive); tar cfvz usr.tar.gz /usr' the whole system just freezes. No panics, nothing. The same thing happens if i do something with the cd for example `dd if=/dev/wcd0c of=/mnt/usr/cdrom.img' Everything freezes. Is my motherboard broken? Would getting a new pci ide controller help?

My problem is: - let a DAT-tape be 295 feet long <=> lf = 295 => length of this DAT-tape is li = lf * 12 = 3540 inches - let the capacity of this tape be 2 GB => BPI = 2 GB / li = 2 GB / 3540 inches = 606633.8 BPI The maual i've read says the BPI is 61000 for such a tape. So what am i doing wrong ? i was trying to dump filesystems to a SONY-SDT-7000 with dump. My problem is, that dumps estimated tapes for the dump are wrong; for example dumping /dev/sd0a (about 50 MB) to a 295 feet long DAT-tape makes dump to estimate 0.4 tapes (i set the commandlineoptions to "0ufds /dev/sd0a 61000 295"). This can not be correct, since the capacity of a 295 feet-DAT-tape is about 2 GB. After scanning the sources of dump for the estmated-tapes-formula, i found some strange constants being used there that i do not understand and that are not documented nor explained anywhere. I want to rewrite the formula for this calculation in the dump-sources but i need some informations on this topic. Maybe there is someone out there willing to give me some assistence in understand what is going on in the dump-formula. Many thanks in advance for all your help.

Metcalf I have had good and bad luck with refurbished drives. I have also had good and bad luck with new drives. I tend to go with new drives for the smaller capacity drives and refurbished for the larger capacity. Price is what is driving this decesion. The price for new, smaller SCSI drive continues to drop while the price for larger drives is moving downward at a slower pace.I think it depends on what you are going to use the disk for. For general purpose, refurbished should be fine. But what ever you choose repeat this mantra several dozen times a day; "Backups are a beautiful thing".

The kit came bundled with a Sanyo SCSI CDROM. My question is, has anyone gotten a CDROM to show up? I have seen a couple of posts on the subject from over a year ago, but no real responses. I have tried all of the suggested IRQ/base addresses, but none of them make the drive recognizable at probe time. As far as I can tell (from DOS), the address is 230h on IRQ 10. (MediaVision's web site supports this somewhat). The card itself seems to be a slightly modified version of their standard X-001 card. Mine is (X-051) or something close. The SCSI chip is made by NEC. If anyone could give me some direction as to things to try, the help would be greatly appreciated.

FreeBSD has had this problem as long as I have been using it (a couple of years). People keep blaming it on "faulty" BIOS's, however after seeing the problem on three different computers with three different BIOS's which were in all other aspects fine, I am forming the opinion that it is just one of the nastier features of FreeBSD.

This can not be correct, the trick there is helical scan. the bpi may acutally be 61000. that 61000 bpi are recorded at an angle of ~6 degrees from horizontal. the width of hte recorded path is very narrow. many recording paths lie stacked above one another. similar to repeated slash symbols at a shallower angle "////" as a result the effective length of a tape is increased many-fold. > since the capacity of a 295 feet-DAT-tape is about 2 GB. > After scanning the sources of dump for the estmated-tapes-formula, > i found some strange constants being used there that i do not > understand and that are not documented nor explained anywhere. > I want to rewrite the formula for this calculation in > the dump-sources but i need some informations on this topic. no, you dont ;) well maybe you do but others dont want you to :) the formulas in dump are there for the old 9-track tapes. just use the newer parameters: B and b. jmb -- Jonathan M.

As it stands, the floppy driver assumes you'll treat the floppy disk like a hard disk, mounting it and leaving it there until you unmount it with the 'umount' command. There has been some chatter on improving the floppy support to not require mount/umount, but there were some technical problems that had to be dealt with. > Is there a way to correct this problem ? Don't pull the disks out until you've umounted them and the drive light goes off.

What you want, it sounds like, is the 'fixit' floppy. YOu boot the standard boot.flp then select 'fixit' and shove the fixit floppy in. That gets you a good set of tools to unwedge your system. Another suggestion is to make a backup root on a second hard disk, if the system is using more than one. Then if one blows up you can use the Boot: prompt to point it to the second disk. Stash the utils you need on that root and you should be set. What do you need RPC for? NFS? I would assume you just need them to fix the system so it'll reboot properly, not drive one from the other.

It considers Booteasy a virus, so it won't let it write to it. Even DOS-mode has this restriction.

In the event that a tapeless server crashes or I need to rebuild do to my stupidity (geez, that has NEVER happened. -:) I can do it remotely. I guess I could probably get away with just TCP/IP and do it over a socket if I had too. I know people have succesfully booted FreeBSD diskless, so that is another option in the case of the remote machines going down. I could boot the remote machine, load up TCP/IP, possibly RPC stuff, and restore that way. I just have to figure out how.. Thanks for your help.

(Why it needs it, I don't know; it appears to want to use rpc.nfsd.) You should enable NFS Server through /etc/sysconfig, not through inet.conf. Similarly you should enable client NFS in sysconfig on the client box.

If you have a look at the ports, there are several packages that can do MIME. Both mpack and uudeview can do MIME-compliant base64 encoding, break the file into multi-parts, and automatically email it. I think metamail can also do MIME stuff.

The files that it installs from the Solaris JDK are needed, they are actually interpreted by the Java virtual machine. Instead of using javac_netscape (unless you dig up a version of Netscape that works), I would suggest you get the "kaffe" port. It will allow you to do what you want (but it still has some bugs).

The reason i had the idea of rewriting the formula (and only the formula) was, that the parameters B and b must always be adjusted depending on the type of DAT-tape that will be used. Furthermore, the user himself has to adjust them and calculate accurate numbers. On the other hand the linear BPI for DDS-2 tapes is always 61000 and the length of the tape is printed on the package of the tapes. So using the linear BPI and the tape-length would make users life much easier; but maybe there are other reasons speaking against this method that i'm not aware of. Anyway i would be glad for any response on this topic. It would be nice if a kind soul could point me to sources where the layout of the DAT-tapes and the recording technology is explained in more detail. Thanks in advance.

Even them bmp icons didn't pop up. I dived into the source code and well, it's pretty straightforward - when malloc() fails you get this message. Just for the heck of it I recompiled xemacs with it's own malloc ( sbrk() ? ) - didn't help. So I used this chance to upgrade ( run install.sh in single user for bin and ssys) , rebuilt kernel and now it works. Rashid.

Modifying the manual page to include a description along these lines might be a much better utilization of time... modifying the formulas is silly because it will fail when we move on to another major type of tape technology. Jonathan's suggestion to use B and b is probably right on. ...

Here we go: Hardware: - SOYO-Pentium-mainboard - Adaptec 2940 without floppy-connector - IO-card with floppy-controller Symptoms: - When booting with the above hardware, the memory gets checked by the BIOS correctly and then when the Adaptec is in turn, the bootup-process just stops before the Adaptec gets active to scan the SCSI-devices and the machine hangs. - the happens with a different floppy-controller. - when taking any floppy-controller out of the machine, the BIOS-bootup gets to the Adaptec, the Adaptec installs his BIOS without problems and the machine runs fine. Question: - Anyone else had similar problems and knows a solution or a workaround ? - What component is the troublemaker (MB / AHA-2940 / FD-controller) ? Any help is highly appreciated.

When it gets down near the end, it says something like "installing for programname". Then my computer restarts itself. Is there a bug in cc or in the makefiles somewhere?

The system was installed about two years ago, and has become somewhat unstable recently, so I would like to upgrade it to FreeBSD 2.1.5 or -current. My only concern is that I cannot keep the /etc/passwd file. The system has a couple dozen users, and I don't want to notify them of the password change. So does anybody know if I can import the Linux password file to FreeBSD ? I don't know which encryption it has, and whether that can be used by FreeBSD. I'd really prefer FreeBSD over linux for the upgrade, but if the password file cannot be used, it will remain a Linux machine.

True. I believe that complaint was what drove the fd driver improvement discussion that went on in either -questions or -current some time ago. I don't know if anything came out of it in the way of code, but any effort would be substantial work. (Thus the phrase "the fd driver is one huge bug.")

The question I have is does it contain support for using two (or more) monitors at once? I have upgraded my video card and monitor, and would like to use both sets, particularly under X. My understanding is that the DISPLAY variable contains a provision for multiple screens on a host, but I don't know if this is implemented in FreeBSD and/or XFree86. Under linux I found patch support for two monitors, but only one could be VGA and only one could use X. Any advice and/or pointers to other information will be appreciated; I have searched the XFree86 site documentation and emailed my question to them.

I have no idea why they removed it, other than so I can't fill your system log with odd messages if I decide to be evil. Unfortunately, syslog is way to inportant to disable. I don't see a way offhand to remove the TCP port; I guess you could move it to something else and change all the systems that log to your machine to use the new port. Why it wouldn't work w/o the TCP port, my guess would be that some programs may communicate directly with the program using the loopback network device instead of the UNIX domain socket.

I haven't installed this port so I don't know if it's trying to start wine or what. It's possible that you have some defective RAM that starting the wine install happens to find. That is a busy part of the install and it may be working some piece of hardware the wrong way (RAM or processor cache).

Well, I can think of two things: 1) They need to telnet into PPP (I think on port 3001, the admin port) and run 'quit all' to kill it properly. 2) The csh is sticking around because PPP isn't quitting and thus allowing the system to reap the process.

I guess I don't understand what you're doing. Sounds like you want a LAN (?) to call a FreeBSD box and have the FreeBSD box gateway net access to it...?

Do you have power saving on? IDE spindown will give the first pair of lines if the disk doesn't come to ready fast enough. Otherwise, it looks like a loose cable or failing controller, or interrupt conflict with the controller.

I've never really quite figured out that recommendation...unless you're assuming that the system has the "right" amount of RAM to reasonably run all the applications you want to run on it. In that case, the "2 x RAM" amount is really an indirect way of saying how much swap you need to run your applications. The amount of swap space should be more related to how much stuff you want to have in memory at one time, I would think. The size of the recommendation should change depending on whether or not the swap area is the total virtual address space or just an extension of the RAM (i.e. sizeof(virtual addr space) == sizeof(RAM)+ sizeof(swap) instead of just sizeof(virtual addr space) == sizeof(swap) ). If on a system doing the latter, 20Mb is definitely not enough swap for 16Mb of RAM. I don't really know which category FreeBSD falls into (it could be that any recent OS uses the former method...I don't know).

We can't seem to find any docs on _what kind_ of PROM, EEPROM, or whatever we can use in the various cards. Ideally we'd like to use el-cheapo no-name NE2000 cards for development, but also want to know for other supported cards (e.g. 3c509). We have called 3Com and other manufacturers, as well as some additional companies, and have been unable to encounter anyone with sufficient clue to answer. (We know they're in there, but they're well-hidden.) A company we were referred to, LanWorks Technologies, who we were referred to by 3Com, said that they know, but aren't about to tell. (They saw us as some sort of threat to their business of writing software for these things.) Alternatively, does anyone know of inexpensive PROM-based ISA boot cards, which (ideally) hold more than 16K, and could be used instead of a LAN-card based boot prom? Thanks a lot!

X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Larry Dolinar" X-Pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.22 Message-Id: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Some of you may remember an earlier post about 3 parallel printers and IRQ 12/IO 300. Based on some suggestions, I've since tried IRQ 10/IO 2C0, but essentially the same thing is happening: after several hours of print requests, most incoming UDP/TCP seems to crawl to a stop. This hasn't been traced down to the packet level yet so forgive me briefly. The symptoms seem to flow along these lines: - system boots fine - several hours of sevicing print requests - later, print requests get rejected for previously authorized hosts - meantime, SMTP, telnet, FTP attempts have timeouts or very slow to prompt after connect (2-4 minutes) - strangely, outgoing FTP and telnet behave normally (no delays) - ping requests from other hosts are honored - from the console, system seems normal - netstat -r extremely slow to report routes One NT client I suspect has configuration problems, or its operator is kind enough to report problems instead of rebooting the print server, something I generally have to fall back on once several people complain. This invariably "fixes" the problem. The third parallel port has been removed and the big plotter returned to the Sun system it came from. TCP extensions are now off: no difference observed. Kernel configuration, 'dmesg' output, and 'ps' before/after are below for the curious. It _is_ a VLB motherboard, which I've heard are anathema.

McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I recently started playing around with the idea of creating a bootable floppy that would boot a freebsd kernel, configure a network interface, and begin to run program 'x' on the console. I got the disk newfs'ed, a minimal kernel compiled, compressed, and on the disk (~300KB), and have it booting. The question comes in what I need after that. It complained (panic'ed) about not having init, so I threw it on in sbin, then figured it would need sh if I wanted to go into single user mode, so I put that in. I also through in some minimals in the /dev directory. To date, I can't get the thing to go past the kernel recognizing hardware. Could someone please tell me what the minimal file set is to make this type of operation happen (in the smallest configuration?). I looked at the doc sites to no avail. Anyhow, if someone could cast a light on this shadow, I'd appreciate it. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 29 14:02:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA04787 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Aug 1996 14:02:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from extractor.compass-da.com (gateway.compass-da.com [162.17.253.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA04778 for ; Thu, 29 Aug 1996 14:02:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: by extractor.compass-da.com; id AA15133; Thu, 29 Aug 96 14:01:59 PDT Received: from luminary.sanjose.compass-da.com(162.17.1.44) by gateway.compass-da.com via smap (V3.1.1) id xma015125; Thu, 29 Aug 96 14:01:53 -0700 Received: from mirage.compass-da.com (mirage [162.17.2.39]) by luminary.sanjose.compass-da.com (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id OAA20125 for ; Thu, 29 Aug 1996 14:03:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost by mirage.compass-da.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id OAA15207; Thu, 29 Aug 1996 14:04:26 -0700 Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 14:04:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Garth Corral X-Sender: garthc@mirage To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Which Motif for FreeBSD? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I am a long-time NetBSD user (since 0.8) who has finally decided to come in from the cold and switch to FreeBSD. I still believe that NetBSD is a great OS and will continue to use it on my non-x86 boxes. The fact remains though, that the NetBSD community seems to be shrinking and support from commercial vendors is drying up. FreeBSD on the other hand has an excellent support and release organization that has translated into a much larger user base and commercial support. Which brings me to the point of this message (sorry for the long winded justification above but making the switch after such a long time feels a bit like cheating :-) ). The primary reason for the switch is that I'm in need of a Motif runtime + development package and there are exactly zero available for NetBSD. The flip side to this is that there seem to be several available for FreeBSD. I used SWiM 1.2.4 when it was available for NetBSD and was a completely satisfied customer. My inclination would be to get the SWiM 2.0 distribution for FreeBSD but I noticed that Xinside also has a similar product. Does anyone have experience with one or the other (or both) of these products? How do they compare? Is one clearly better than the other? Are there any restrictions on the use of the Xinside package? i.e, do I need accelerated-X? I'm not sure but it appears that there may also be a product from Metrolink (?). Is this true? If so, how does it compare to the other two? Any and all comments, opinions, etc. will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Garth. P.S.

(The only time that we do it is when memory (total virtual address space free) is low.) IMO, it is best to keep swap space in contiguous chunks. I guess that it would be possible to do so if all paging in operations read an entire chunk, but anyway disk is very very cheap. (20MBytes of extra disk calculates out to be about $5 to $10, maybe less, maybe more...)

If it was, and you have an ASUS MB with an AWARD bios, there is a compatibility problem. The bios does not wait until the drive is *really ready* (nor should it need to) before certain I/O requests are made. The problem is that the drive heads are loaded before the drive is really ready (as I have inferred from some USENET discussions.) This slowly clobbers the disk surface until it is bad. WD has some recovery stuff on their FTP site, ftp.wdc.com. You would do well to call the WD support number for further help. (I have had two drives fail with the old microcode.) WD has some updated microcode that fixes the drive, but if your surface is damaged too bad, then you need to return the drive for replacement.

(I also used it successfully with 2.1R) My system has the CD configured as the second (slave) device on the primary IDE controller. I don't have access to the machine right now but if you have a look at the LINT file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf you will see what is needed in the kernel config file to make it work. I have had absolutely no problems with this as a data drive. The problems I have had have all been related to audio applications. All of the X-windows based audio CD player applications I have tried fail to recognise the drive has a disk in it. The text-based CD player works *most* of the time but often forgets that the CD is there and i have to quit the program and restart it to fix it. Mostly I just play audio CDs by pressing the play button on the front of the drive (something that seems to be absent from most drives).

Rather or not, this is a *good* solution, I don't know. However it does get you past that error. edit the line in the ppp source file route.c and replace struct ifreq reqbuf[32]; with struct ifreq reqbuf[320]; Or really anything which is larger than 32. Recompile and install, and it should work for you then.

They do have a download with which you can effect the microcode update (their term for it is an "overlay".)

I followed the steps in the handbook but I just can't seem to get this working: My HP 5L is on /dev/lpt0. When I try to "cat /etc/printcap > /dev/lpt0" then (appart from the missing LF -> CR+LF translation) everything gets printed _very_ slowly (1/2 page per minute). If I use a simple filter script as the one below then I have the same problem. Could this be because of interrupt driven mode? Should I switch to polling? Any experiences? #!/bin/sh # # initialize the printer and cat everything else thru. Finally # send a formfeed character \f printf "\033k2G" && \ echo && \ --- end script ---- I usually call it from within lpr (via printcap, if=...) or directly as "cat myfile | filter > dev/lpt0" Thx, Leon Aaron Kaplan.

Due to limited computer facilities, I have been asked to remove IRC capabilities from our terminals. I have removed all access to MIRC applications, and locked out access to any future ftp downloads of those applications, but students can still access IRC through a telnet session. I find it necessary to keep the telnet application available on our terminals because of the importance of telnet searches to libraries and other research institutions. Is there any way to prohibit the sending of IRC requests to other systems from a telnet session, while maintaining access to other types of services? Any help would be appreciated. -- David M.

A couple of extra things to check: - does rc.serial specifiy the line properly as a modem line? - is the modem set to reset when DTR is dropped? [Mine has a factory default that _ignores_ DTR transitions. :-(] - is the modem set to drop CD when carrier is lost?

[Some (cheap?) cables don't provide all the lines; you need RX, TX, RTS, CTS, DSR, GND, CD, and DTR in most cases...] I use pppd instead of ppp 'cause I can't get ppp to stay running more than a few minutes during heavy loads; it just keeps disconnecting. :-( Way uncool too, since ppp supports predictor-1 compression and pppd does not :-( :-(.

I see this same problem with my Pentium 166 boxes. Both have ASUS motherboards (sorry, I don't have the model number but they are P166/512K cache/dual IDE controller boards). The error seems to pop up under heavy loading. I do _not_ have WD drives - they are Maxtors: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): wd1: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S I saw the problem once after upgrading to 2.1.5 but it does not seem to have recurred. The surfaces do not appear to have been damaged at all; at least I've not lost any files and the systems seem to recover fine. Anyone else see this with Maxtor drives?

Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I find it unfortunate that you want to ban IRC usage but here's my experiences: - just removing IRC applications won't work. They can be downloaded from a large number of sites around the world. - When a user download an IRC app, he'll make sure it's not detected: - they'll hide them in usr/spool/mail or /tmp - they'll rename them to things like -csh so that you can't see they are IRC'ing - Sites around the world offer telnet access to IRC servers. Your users will telnet to there and use IRC from the remote site. - You could block outgoing traffic to port 6667 using the ipfw package. However, your users will be able to take arrangements with server admins so that they can use another port. I do it for a couple of Canadians sites with port 6667 blocked. ;-) I think your best bet here is to put up a policy. Make sure your policy is known by all your users and plan disciplinary measures in that policy if the user is caught using IRC. This is the best way to ban IRC from your site. ANy technical way will fail. Of course, with remote telnet access, you will never be able to prove that they were using IRC. If your users use IRC via a PPP link, you will have to get into hard work (capturing packets and the like) to be able to prove it. I hope this helps.

Just download the boot floppy and try to boot from it. Check (by examining the kernel probe messages) whether your CD is recognized or not. If it isn't, don't dispare. Try moving it around. What works for me most of the time is the slave position on the primary controller, but some models like the CD to be in other positions. Try a few combinations. If the CD is not recognized, you may still install FreeBSD over ftp or from a DOS partition (after copying the necessary stuff off the CD with DOS).

Well, I didn't exactly understand your question, but: 1) FreeBSD has two types of curses. With you get the old BSD-curses. With you get a newer version, which looks more like SystemV. You need -lcurses or -lncurses in the linker phase. 2) It has termcap, and it has terminfo too (well, if you need terminfo, you have to generate it with ``tconv''). If I remember well, you need the -ltermcap or -ltermlib linker flag. 3) it has sockets in the kernel, so you don't need a separate library. No -lsocket, no -lx. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

I have the same thing with WD drives but it isn't the drives. It started when I updated my motherboard. The damned "Energy saver" BIOS is powering down the drives.

The first set are the machines that I use at work and the second set are machines that I use at school. If a common filesystem is available on any of the machines in the set I can transfer data from any of the the others in that set. Why do I ask about a common filesystem? Occasionally I collect a great deal of information and using a PPP (14.4k) connection can literally take days. I recently purchased a Jaz drive to speed this up but so far I am only able to plug it into my FreeBSD machine at school and at home. If I could plug it directly into one of the other machines (esp. the HP on my desk) that would be super. This is a question that I could surely answer by doing a little reesearch on each OS but I was hoping that someone knew off the top of their head. No, carrying a laptop around and exporting the Jaz drive over NFS is not currently an option :) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 30 07:14:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA22119 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 07:14:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from croute.com (ishm2.croute.com [199.97.106.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA22111; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 07:14:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bldg1.croute.com by croute.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA00396; Fri, 30 Aug 96 09:14:41 CDT Received: from COMPUROUTE/SpoolDir by bldg1.croute.com (Mercury 1.13); Fri, 30 Aug 96 9:14:36 +600 Received: from SpoolDir by COMPUROUTE (Mercury 1.13); Fri, 30 Aug 96 9:14:08 +600 From: "Larry Dolinar" Organization: CompuRoute, Inc.

When originally configured, lpt0 was irq 7, lpt1 was polled (as was lpt2 when it was alive). Under these conditions, lpt0 was extremely sluggish. The traditional advice for that situation was to switch the interrupt-driven port to polled with lptcontrol (has this changed?). And in fact printing worked equally well on each port. My experience in the past is that interrupt problems show themselves fairly early (as in minutes) rather than late. Perhaps I need to reconsider... Some advice was issued previously about hacking the interrupt lines directly on the board(s) based on ISA bus layout. Though an EE by degree, I use it little in the past few years, and I'm loathe to chop on company property as an experiment, especially if it fails, so that approach is so far postponed. Nonetheless I can boot -c this weekend and reconfig the running kernel to use irq7 for lpt0 and irq5 for lpt1, and see how it flies. thanks for the advice, larry From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 30 07:16:38 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA22250 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 07:16:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gage.com (ns.gage.com [205.217.2.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA22244 for ; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 07:16:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from octopus by gage.com (NX5.67d/NX4.2M) id AA19378; Fri, 30 Aug 96 09:17:10 -0500 Received: from squid by octopus.gage.com (NX5.67e/NX3.0S) id AA12665; Fri, 30 Aug 96 09:12:35 -0500 Received: from insomnia by squid.gage.com (NX5.67e/NX3.0S) id AA12138; Fri, 30 Aug 96 09:15:03 -0500 Message-Id: <9608301415.AA12138@squid.gage.com> Received: by insomnia.gage.com (NX5.67g/NX3.0X) id AA01181; Fri, 30 Aug 96 09:14:54 -0500 Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 4.0 v146.2) Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.146.2) From: Ben Black Date: Fri, 30 Aug 96 09:14:53 -0500 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: mounting NEXTSTEP disk under FreeBSD Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk has anyone ever tried mounting a disk from a NEXTSTEP machine (FFS, allegedly) under FreeBSD? when i attempt it under 2.1R i get errors about bad magic numbers. any ideas? b3n black@cypher.net From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 30 07:30:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA23048 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 07:30:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jack.Colorado.EDU (jack.Colorado.EDU [128.138.149.29]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA23034 for ; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 07:30:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jack (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by jack.Colorado.EDU (8.7.5/8.7.3/CNS-4.0p) with SMTP id IAA29232; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 08:30:09 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <3226FAF0.477B@Colorado.EDU> Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 08:30:08 -0600 From: "Mark O'Lear" Organization: University of Colorado X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.4 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: moos@degnet.baynet.de CC: Peter Hawkins , FreeBSD-questions Subject: Re: lpt0 wierdness References: <199608300632.QAA24188@rhiannon.clari.net.au> <3226CACA.338@degnet.baynet.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I used to have this problem with a motherboard with a very old parallel port on it.

After a few days of hard work last weekend I discovered that was the trouble in my upgrading from an older version of X to the newer. You might first see if your old configuration will work with your newly generated XF86Config. Carefully plug in the old data into your newer config file. If you haven't generated a new configuration file, so do. --The instruction are concisely given in Greg Lehey's FreeBSD text-- Once you have your old driver working with the new XF86Config, try using the new Mach driver. It may take some tweaks, but ought to work eventually. Once you have the new driver working with the new config file, use xvidetune to fine tune your Modeline data. gary kline > > <><> Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff. -- Peter de Vries From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 30 10:23:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA06330 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 10:23:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dyson.iquest.net (dyson.iquest.net [198.70.144.127]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA06318; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 10:22:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by dyson.iquest.net (8.7.5/8.6.9) id MAA00826; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 12:21:38 -0500 (EST) From: John Dyson Message-Id: <199608301721.MAA00826@dyson.iquest.net> Subject: Re: strange error with WD family disk To: jack@xtalwind.net (jack) Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 12:21:38 -0500 (EST) Cc: mnewell@newell.arlington.va.us, dyson@FreeBSD.org, igor@cs.ibank.ru, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: from "jack" at Aug 30, 96 10:09:11 am Reply-To: dyson@FreeBSD.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8] 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 > > > > wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): > > wd0: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S > > wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): > > wd1: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S > > > > I saw the problem once after upgrading to 2.1.5 but it does not seem to > > have recurred.

We could disable the power down setup in the wd driver, but that could be counter-productive for some.

I poked around the archives, and saw nothing similar.) I ran into what looks like a sysinstall bug last night, while trying to install 2.1.5 on a home machine via PPP from an archive I keep at the office. The PPP link came up fine, but the ftp connection was not established, and it appears that it was trying to establish an ftp connection to ".52.18" -- no wonder it didn't work! That string appears nowhere in the URL I specified; rather, it is the tail of the default gateway address I filled in in sysinstall's menu. Doing a 2.1.0 install in the same manner, on the same hardware, worked fine. (Yes, I used a 2.1.0 boot floppy for the 2.1.0 install, and a 2.1.5 floppy for the 2.1.5 install.) And loading 2.1.5 from ftp.freebsd.org (selected from the sysinstall menu), instead of filling in my own URL, worked fine; so I've worked around this problem. I'll take a look at the sysinstall sources when I get a chance. On the other hand, since this is now low priority for me, the words of Ogden Nash come to mind: A child need not be very clever To know that "Later, dear" means "Never."

I have followed the instructions in freebsd documentation and get stuck at ``tip'' command. It seems to understand the entries from the /etc/remote file but does not want to search /etc/phones if ``@'' is specified. But that's ok. My question is: how can I use tip (what should be the syntax, could you give the examples) to configure my modem. And the problem is that if I type: # tip netcom It says: >> tip: unknown modem hayes >> unknown ACU type >> [EOT] where netcom is standard entry in /etc/remote file. What does it mean? In the rest, I can dial in (from other computer) and I see getty waiting at ttyd1 port. I will appriciate your help very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global Recycling Network Inc. http://grn.com http://grn4.recyclenet.com Yegor D.

The first 402MB is the primary DOS partition, then the 506 MB I've set aside for FreeBSD. The remaining 1.1GB is my NT partition. NT has no problem seeing all three, labeling the 402MB C:, the 504MB F:, and the 1.1GB E:. D: is the CD-ROM. DOS, however, can see C: 402MB and then the extended partition of 1.6GB beginning with the logical drive D: 506MB. It doesn't know what to do with the rest of the partition, which is understandable. The FreeBSD installer sees the the first 63 sectors, labeled "unused". If i'm not mistaken, this is the DOS MBR. Then the first DOS partition, labeled "fat", in the next 822465 sectors. Then the "extended" partition in the next 3302208 sectors and an "unused" slice in the last 3024 sectors. The NT install was done for me. Is my problem the fact that I have a logical drive defined only under DOS in the one extended partition? Is there a way around removing NT and re-partitioning (please say no)? If not, should I load FreeBSD in the 506MB slice first and then re-install NT? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently some of the symbolic links I was making caused the corruption. Now when I perform the following: rm -rf unremovable/ I get rm: unremovable/: Directory not empty The directory is owned by root and I am performing the rm command as root. Clearly the directory is empty (rm -rf emptied it). Is there some way to remove this entry by referring specifically to its inode? I hope not to have to rebuild the filesystem. The directory entry is not entirely corrupt in the sense that I can copy files into it and remove files from it and I can move it around. It seems to be linked to another directory in some way. That directory is also unremovable. Hope someone can help. Thank You -- Jeffrey M.

I found that the sendmail had been upgraded between these versions. The end result was that the PD listprocessor "listproc" failed when trying to send mail (sounds similar to your problem). I patched the listproc code and listproc now works. The patch related to the opening exchange with sendmail.

Yes, your Linux passwd file can be converted.

It holds up here doing a DNS lookup most likely.

I wish I knew the exact history behind it myself :-), but in my experience it's been a good "yardstick", at least for starters. Obviously, you don't have to adhere to it (I could probably get by with 50mb on my 32MB RAM workstation since I'm running X and not using swap), but again it's a starting point. > The size of the recommendation should change depending on whether or not > the swap area is the total virtual address space or just an extension of > the RAM (i.e. > > sizeof(virtual addr space) == sizeof(RAM)+ sizeof(swap) > > instead of just > > sizeof(virtual addr space) == sizeof(swap) FreeBSD uses method #1.

I don't know of any OSs that consider the swap to be total memory available. The three that I know of that use swap other than UNIXen are OS/2, Windows95 and Windows, and they use method #1 too.

Couple things: csh-like shells have some shell-specific filehandle limiting. Take a look at the appropriate man page for your shell and see if you need to adjust those numbers. Also try incrementing 'maxusers' in your kernel configuration, recompiling & reinstalling.

FreeBSD supports the following serial multiport boards: AST 4 port serial card using shared IRQ. ARNET 8 port serial card using shared IRQ. BOCA IOAT66 6 port serial card using shared IRQ. BOCA 2016 16 port serial card using shared IRQ. Cyclades Cyclom-y Serial Board. STB 4 port card using shared IRQ. SDL Communications Riscom/8 Serial Board. Digiboard Sync/570i high-speed sync serial card. This is from the FreeBSD handbook, section 2.1.3, Supported Configurations / Misc. Devices.

Something to try after shuffling IRQs (and perhaps trying polled mode): I wonder if you are running low on mbufs. You aren't getting any unusual kernel messages? (And what happened to vty0?)

So the 'reserved FreeBSD space' is INSIDE the DOS Extended slice? That will not do. This is ugly. First, we have the big 1024 cylinder problem, which means you can't boot operating systems that don't reside under 1024 cylinders on most systems. You may be able to install it, but you won't be able to boot it. In your case it may be better to buy a separate disk and dedicate it entirely to FreeBSD. I bought a 540mb disk and did just that when I got started. If you can resolve that, i've used a utility called 'Partition Resizer' to shrink slices down. You'll need to use it (I believe it's on the CDROM) to shrink down the extended slice to that it is exactly the same size as your NT logical drive. That should free up the 'reserved' space into unallocated space. You should be able to install FreeBSD in that.

Well, that's really bad, because FreeBSD needs its own (primary) partition. What you should do is shrink the extended partition so that it only includes the NT logical drive, and then create a partition for FreeBSD before it. There is a tool called fips on the CDROM that I've *heard* can split DOS partiotions, but I don't know how safe it is on extended partitions. My choice when I have to resize partitions is a $50 utility called Partition Magic (look at http://www.powerquest.com). It's well worth that money if it saves you the need to format an already installed partition, even once. Another thing you may have trouble with is the NT boot loader. If I rememeber correctly, it records the number of the partition from which it boots, and if you'll repartition your disk, adding a partition before the NT partition, the numbering scheme would change. To fix that you'll have to edit the hidden file boot.ini (it's in c:\, use DOS to access it). I suggest you back up everything on the NT partition before starting, and writing down the exact position of each of the partitions you are about to change. If something stops working, you may try to return the partitions to their original configuration. I once repartitioned an NT disk, causing NT to not boot.

If you want to share disk space between them, you should use teh Samba package (it comes on the FreeBSD CD). However, what we do is just let Win95s Telnet and ftp the FreeBSD boxes. I guess that's what you want (at least that's what NetTerm is for). Make sure that the IP protocol on the Win95 is configured properly (it's in the Network control panel applet, look at the TCP/IP protocol properties for the details). Can you ping the Win95 machine from the FreeBSD machine (by using it's IP address)? For WFWG you'll need a TCP/IP stack (a separate product, but there are freeware versions) to get that functionality.

The three that I know of that use swap other than UNIXen are > OS/2, Windows95 and Windows, and they use method #1 too. If we're bringing other OS's into the picture... (no flames please :-)). All OS's I know of use method 1 (don't see a reason not to). The two schools of swap space allocation differ in another point: global replacement algorithms vs. local replacement algorithms. Global replacement means that when deciding on a page to swap out, the OS doesn't care about what process owns the page, and only looks at when it is used. Local replacement means that different processes are handled differently (it's called local, because in its steady state, when a process wants memory, it tends to page out a page that belongs to the same process). BSD uses global replacement. As "The Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD" states, global replacement is easier to implement and manage. The one O.S. I know that uses local replacement is VMS (that book also mentions it in that context), and its younger clone, WinNT. The point is that when you use local replacement you can control how much swap space a process is going to ever get (it's called VIRTPAGCNT in VMS), and thus calculate how much swap space you'll need before it's needed (however, you need to manage those parameters, and many other, manually, and they are usually not set correctly as most managers don't fully understand the ver complex paging and swapping algorithms in VMS). This way, VMS can tell you when you have the chance of running out of paging space (I think NT does this too, giving the message "System is running low on virtual memory") long before it causes any ill effects (as most processes don't eat up all the memory at once). As "The Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD" says, the decision not to use those algorithms in BSD may cause processes to be killed and even the system to crash when swap space is exhausted. Bottom line is that if you used VMS you'd probably be noticing that your pagefiles have *negative* reserved space left long before anything bad would happen. However, if you used VMS your bank account would also show a negative balance before you get anything done :-).

This is more or less how FreeBSD works. The difference is 1) FreeBSD doesn't warn you like it does in VMS [this would be trivial to implement], and 2) FreeBSD looks for a process to kill when it runs out - VMS (at least v5.x) just hangs. >Bottom line is that if you used VMS you'd probably be noticing that your >pagefiles have *negative* reserved space left long before anything bad would >happen. However, if you used VMS your bank account would also show a >negative balance before you get anything done :-). "Reservable" space works like this: whenever VMS allocates space out of the pagefile, it allocates it in large chunks - typically 2048 pages so as to minimize fragmentation. The "reservable space" is the space that is left if you add up the completely unused chunks, and "free" space is the space in the completely unused chunks plus the space in the partially used chunks. Given this, it's arguable how useful the "reservable" statistic is. We actually have something sort of similar to this inside FreeBSD, it's just that we never assigned a statistic to count it - i.e. space is allocated in chunks but the unused portions can be reclaimed if necessary. VMS does indeed do localized page replacement. Back when memory was extremely expensive and in short supply on a system, it was thought that the best way to maintain good system-wide interactive performance while large batch jobs were running was to limit each process's working set via a working set quota. In order to effectively manage this quota, pages have to be sorted within a process...a localized page replacement algorithm. This isn't the most efficient way to manage resources, however. To maximize system throughput, you want to look at the usage of the pages on a global basis. If you have the memory and are willing to sacrifice some interactive performance, global page replacement is definately the way to go. We experimented with implementing a soft RSS limiting mechanism in FreeBSD (and in fact we still support it), but the challenge has always been how to determine what to trim from a process - especially when parts of it are shared among many processes. My conclusion is that I don't think it can ever be made to work very well. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 31 04:10:33 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA05078 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 04:10:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from login.bigblue.no (root@login.bigblue.no [194.19.68.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA05070 for ; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 04:10:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from eagle.bigblue.no (froden@eagle.bigblue.no [194.19.68.13]) by login.bigblue.no (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA03351; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 13:07:51 +0200 Message-Id: <199608311107.NAA03351@login.bigblue.no> From: "Frode Nordahl" To: "dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu" Cc: "questions@FreeBSD.org" Date: Sat, 31 Aug 96 13:10:12 +0100 Reply-To: "Frode Nordahl" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Frode Nordahl's Registered PMMail 1.52 For OS/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Maximum filesystem size in FreeBSD?

I.e if I install a 10 GB drive (Something I will not likelly do, RAID or striping is much better :) ) will FreeBSD barf?

The issue is that we don't very often free swap space as pages are paged in. You really don't want to anyway because it will mostly fragment swap space. Disk is very very cheap anymore.

Once you have allocated space to a page on the swap space in FreeBSD (and the other *BSD's AFAIK), that space is not generally freed (there is some code in FreeBSD to mitigate that a little bit), until the page is logically freed. Both of the above are technically wrong, but to be conservative in the worst case, #2 above is the most correct if you want to make sure that the system never kills any processes or ever hangs. This is of course, assuming that no processes ever share memory. But, #1 above is definitely wrong and will not guarantee that the system will not hang due to out of VM conditions!!! On FreeBSD, if you need to trust the system, you MUST have enough swap space for every non-text backed page. That includes .bss, malloced space and modified .data. A more accurate (but perhaps not complete formula follows): Sum of the following PEAK values (rounded up due to allocation issues): # of modified .data pages in the system + # of .bss pages in the system + # of malloced pages in the system + # of anonymous mmaped pages in the system + # of pageable pages allocated by the kernel + (maybe a few more magic pages) Of course the above is hard to calculate :-). Each of the pages above may be shared by processes either by virtue of fork() (in the case of .bss or malloced unmodified after the fork()) or exec() (in the case of .data unmodifed.) .text does not normally need to be backed by swap (except in the case of debugged or gzipped binaries -- also other semi-bogus binary formats need some of the .text backed by swap.) Ignoring special cases, .text and unmodified .data pages never need to be backed by swap space (they are already backed by a file.) Older 4.4BSD kernels had something known as the collapse problem. This greatly increased the amount of required swap space. The rule of thumb that swap space should be 2X memory is usually ok, but simply a rule of thumb. It is most accurate to say that the minimum amount of swap space, if you are going to swap at all, and you generally have enough memory to run your processes memory resident (but page once in a while) is swap > 1X memory + some small amount. Swap == 2X memory is a heuristic that many people see that works well. I have seen SVR4 systems that require swap == 8-10X memory!!! The same goes for FreeBSD. The formula that I give above is closer to reality. Note that the size of memory on the system does not come into play (except you must have swap > 1X memory, if you page much at all.) The (non-.text backed) virtual address space and the amount of swap space needed are roughly the same.

The problem is when we connect through the dial-in lines and hangup, sometimes that users IP stays stuck in the routing table and never expires. This becomes a problem when you try to log back on using that IP since the entry is already there, the server doesn't seem to reassign it. Therefore you don't get any routing... The only way I can fix that is once that user is offline, I must manually delete his route. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the IP's to stay stuck? Is it my ppp software on ther server? Is it the name daemon control interface? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

When I do tell it to use a boot manager (because nothing else has worked so far) the 1.2 gig HD (primary) doesn't use the boot manager. I'm affraid I'll overwrite my 1.2 gig if I screw up. After the Install I've also tried to tell the install floppy where to grab the knew kernal info from, but I can't find any real instructions on how to use the boot: prompt.

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ccd0c 19603558 9573267 8462007 53% /var/spool/news Runs *FINE* :-) And I've seen a single 9Gb drive with a single filesystem on it work fine too. The problems occur with much larger (>512Gb I think) because of the structure of the UFS/FFS filesystem performace starts degrading, but it's ONLY performance, the stability isn't affected.

The tcsh with the funny start time is actually the tcsh which is about to be turned into the 2nd half of your pipe (the grep). I am not 100% sure WHY, but something in the fork/exec process can cause that to happen ... for a VERY brief period, the parent exists with a funny start time. There must be a race condition or something. It's not all that important (since it only affects ps output), so I don't think anyone has spent time looking into why.

Another PPP 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 Hello Everybody, I have just scanned through all the Mailing list archives there are, and can't figure out my problem.. Hopefully someone will be able to help me. I have a ISDN Internet connection through as cisco 1004 router, and a couple of FreeBSD boxes on that network. I want to configure one of the boxes to allow for PPP dialin for local host access, and internet access. I am currently using kernel PPP. I managed to get it up and running OK as I can dial and connect to it. I can ping the Ethernet side of the box I have dialed into, but not to my local network, or across my router. One alarming thing I read on the archives suggests that your clients must use IP's out of the scope of the ethernet boards netmask. I certainly hope not, as I already have a (small) subclass'd class C. I do not believe I can break it down any further. I am using FreeBSD 2.1.5, simple /etc/ppp/options, and a few sample scripts I found to initialize the com port using Kermit then run the pppd daemon. As I see that there are many questions regarding this, If I can figure it out I will summarize and post it. Tim --- Tim Pushor, Technical Director Phone: (403) 246-0826 Orion Technologies Inc.

Do you have more than two hard drives installed? I know you had 2 IDE drives, 1 is EIDE and did you use booteasy for the boot manager?

Well, since I haven't received an answer yet (I know, it has only been a day...) I thought I might clarify that I'd like to change the behavior of the buttons in xterms: the "paste" feature, which is bound to button 2, so that I can paste with the rightbutton (currently button 3); and scroll bar dragging, also bound to button 2. So a viable solution would be either to change the xterm button bindings or swap buttons 2 and 3 in the emulation. Again, thanks for your input! Have a good weekend, Scott
