I have made no configuration changes prior to appearance of this problem. Description: when I try to boot the boot stops at "changing root device to wd1a". I am able to boot from a floppy. The only error message I get is "rootfs is 1000Kbyte compiled in MFS". I then get in the install menu, from which I mount the fixit floppy. I am able to mount root at that point (mount /dev/wd1a /mnt). Questions: 1. What does the error message mean? 2. How do I get my system to boot from my HD? 3. What could have caused this problem? System: 486DX66, FreeBSD 2.0.5 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

As osbs20b8 installs through DOS, and writes to more than the first sector, this causes problems.... Does anyone know where DOS gets it's geometry from ? I've tried writing the correct values into that control block thingy, but it didn't help.

Well, my own experience with 2.1.7 and the following configuration: Generic 486 blah blah 2 IDE HDs 1 AHA 1542 w/HD + CDROM DOS is on 1st HD, FreeBSD on 2nd and 3rd HDs (all 3 of which DOS can see when doing a "full" DOS install with its defaults). When the 2.1.7 system initially comes up off the HD (install goes great, without a hitch) you get BOOTEASY with the following prompt: F? DOS And that's it. No other choices! First time I tried selecting just the first drive for a boot manager. No joy. Then I reinstalled and said "boot manager" for every drive. No change. Then I tried installing BOOTEASY by hand by running bootinst.exe with boot.bin. No difference. Then I installed OSBS20BETA and lo-and-behold it saw the 2nd drive and its FreeBSD partition, allowing me to add it to the boot menu. I rebooted and now I could get to the FreeBSD boot blocks, typing in: 1:wd(1,a)/kernel for a successful boot into FreeBSD. So just one bit of first-hand testimony that booteasy may not quite be a 100% solution. :-( Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 23 06:15:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA11519 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 06:15:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.tm.net.my (janeway.tm.net.my [202.188.0.155]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA11514 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 06:15:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from akmal.jaring.my (j5.glg54.jaring.my [161.142.227.195]) by mail.tm.net.my (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id WAA20428 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 22:15:13 +0800 (SGT) Message-ID: <3311A312.5DAD@tm.net.my> Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 22:17:54 +0800 From: Koay Hock Chuan Reply-To: akmal@tm.net.my Organization: FiberLAN Teknologi Sdn.

I think the hours of frustration have gotten to him, however, and he decided to nuke win95 and use the first disk for FreeBSD. So, in a way, it turned out to be a happy story :-) Last I saw him, he was ranting about the Microsoft philosphy of making it damn near impossible to boot another OS, and how he refused "to accomodate M$" :-) For the record, I've happily used BOOTEASY on a single disk, with two OS's, but all hell breaks loose when you try to setup multiple disks.. -Mark > So just one bit of first-hand testimony that booteasy may not quite be > a 100% solution. :-( > > Jordan > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point. -- Arthur Schopenhauer From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 23 07:24:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA15298 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 07:24:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from vinyl.quickweb.com (vinyl.quickweb.com [206.222.77.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA15286; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 07:23:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (mark@localhost) by vinyl.quickweb.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA01269; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 10:24:33 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 10:24:33 -0500 (EST) From: Mark Mayo To: Richard Lyon cc: "Jordan K.

I use the NT boot manager to boot FreeBSD and NT. Works great - just use the "standard MBR" on the FreeBSD disk (sd1), and copy the first 512 bytes of the disk to a file called "BOOTBSD.BIN" on the NT "C:" drive, and edit the BOOT.INI file to add an entry for the BOOTBSD.BIN file. I figured I might as well use the NT boot manager since it was already there, and it has a nice little menu system :-) -Mark > > The current rumour is that a certain NT defragmenter does a lot more than > defrag drives (Ref.

Mine is working fine... I'm still trying to understand exactly how it works. What I had to do to get the default configuration to work, was: chmod 1777 /var/mail This sets the sticky bit in the permissions so that everyone can write to that directory, but only the owner of a file can delete it. This seems necessary so that popper (running suid to the user) can make it's temporary files in the mail directory.

I'm still trying to put the pieces together in my head about what running a "free" Unix-like implementation on my PC might entail. Can someone comment on the differences between FreeBSD and Linux? One difference I'm really curious about is that I see lots of Linux books published, but haven't found one for FreeBSD yet. Can someone post some comments that will help me better understand the pro's and con's in going with either Linux or FreeBSD? Probably the answer is "It depends" ... but that's OK since right now I don't even know what the choice might depend on. ;-) If this is the wrong place to ask this question or it's already extensively discussed elsewhere, please just give me a shove in the appropriate direction and I'll go away.

Gifford" Subject: 2.1.7 and Tripwire ftruncate() fun Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Is anyone running tripwire on FreeBSD 2.1.7? It compiled fine for me but dies while initializing the tripwire database with a truncate error. The source code looks like it should work fine. I did a little testing and see that ftruncate(fd, 0) call is failing with error 22 EINVAL which the ftruncate() man page says "The fd references a socket, not a file." and this is NOT true. The fd sent to the ftruncate() call is a fd to a temp file in /tmp that has been unlink()'d and is of length 0 on my machine when the ftruncate() call is made. Adding some more testing code, I successfully did a write(fd, "TEST\n", 5) to the fd both BEFORE and AFTER the failed ftruncate() call and after commenting out the unlink() code so the file would remain in /tmp, I saw that indeed the file contained the two "TEST\n" lines, one written before the failed ftruncate() call and the other written after ftruncate() failed with an EINVAL error. Weird! Is this an OS bug? I searched the archives and saw that the ftruncate() failure with tripwire was briefly mentioned in about 4-6 messages almost a year ago, but no solutions were forthcoming.

I'm maintainer/co-ordinator for the PostgreSQL RDBMS and the only operating system that we have major porting problems with is Linux...everything else is general small issues. The *main* pro of FreeBSD in that light is its distribution(s)...there is only one, maintained through ftp.cdrom.com and mirrors. Linux has, what, 6 different ones now? And each of those has slight quirks to what they feel is 'correct'. ie one of the is missing prototypes for a slew of standard C-lib functions, while another requires you to ftp in libdl.a seperately from the distribution, etc. I have a few friends that swear by Linux, and I personally think that its what you become used to/feel comfortable with. I went from a Linux system to a BSDi system to a FreeBSD system over the past few years, mainly because Linux (at that time) was completely unstable, and from BSDi to FreeBSD because I like having the source code... YMMV...

I would consider it a production/server type of platform, compared to Linux. I tried Linux first, and found too many bugs. I had some software running on Solaris that I tried to port to an ISP box that was running a *stable* version of Linux. It wouldn't work there, but would work on another ISP that was running FreeBSD. I've heard Linux has gotten better, but then I've heard that for some time now. I think the device support and games support is much better on Linux. So, if you are going to go with FreeBSD, then read the notes on the web pages about supported hardware. And then ask in questions, scsi, or hardware about something you have that is not listed. It may be supported but not listed. Decide whether you want stable or experimental. (see the web pages :) I recommend FreeBSD, especially if you are a professional in the computer field, and you need something solid to do some real work on. Not to say that you can't do some good work with Linux too. "Books!? We don't need no steenkin books, we got source ...

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

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

That's a yes-and-no situation. Linux appears to cater to the PC market, especially to those who are used to Microsoft products. I believe with the possible exception of ATAPI CDROM's, when FreeBSD supports a device, it does it better than Linux. OTOH there is at least some Linux support for most any PC hardare you can find. > I tried Linux first, and found too many bugs. Actually I tried 386BSD 0.0 first. Eventually tried Linux and found it much more usable than 0.0 or 0.1 but still not good enough. Then about the 3rd or 4th time Linux crashed and took my HD with it I heard of FreeBSD 2.0R. Rather than update Linux yet again, I installed FreeBSD. Took about a week to realize I was hooked. > "Books!? We don't need no steenkin books, we got source ... " Most any Unix book discussing BSD or SunOS 4.1.4 or older, almost directly applies to FreeBSD. So unlike Linux there is not the same need to cover the differences in implementation. Also I suspect there are a lot of people writing Linux books that never had anything to say that a publisher would buy until they figured out how to insert "Linux" in the title. O'Reilly & Associates has some books with "Linux" in the title. I'd expect them to be good. And lets not forget the 5-volume BSD set ORA publishes. Or the FreeBSD book Walnut Creek publishes. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au Hello all. I am attempting to install freebsd via ftp. I got everything set up but when it logs into the ftp server (I have used many different servers to try to get this to work) i get an error message saying "cannot cd to 2.1.6-RELEASE". I have tried putting "none" in the options for the release but that does not work either. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks Please mail response to me and not the list because I am not on the list..Thanks From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 24 05:32:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA19057 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 05:32:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from whqvax.picker.com (whqvax.picker.com [144.54.1.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA19052; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 05:32:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from ct.picker.com by whqvax.picker.com with SMTP; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 8:31:41 -0500 (EST) Received: from elmer.ct.picker.com ([144.54.57.34]) by ct.picker.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA15223; Mon, 24 Feb 97 08:31:38 EST Received: by elmer.ct.picker.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id IAA01465; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 08:29:23 -0500 Message-Id: <19970224082923.62035@ct.picker.com> Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 08:29:23 -0500 From: Randall Hopper To: Brian Somers Cc: Joerg Wunsch , hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Install to second hard-drive...

However, it daisy-chains the slices for the second disk as another menu off the initial menu for the first disk. This, plus other things I didn't like about the booteasy menus led me to go with OS/BS 2.0B8. Much nicer interface: 1 menu, color, digit or arrow key selection, timeout freeze, supports multiple disks, it'll even let me boot off my SCSI ZIP drive when I've got my SDMS BIOS enabled.

As osbs20b8 installs through |DOS, and writes to more than the first sector, this causes problems.... Right. DOS always starts its partition at Track 0 Head 1, leaving Track 0 Head 0 empty. OS/BS needs more than just sector 1 (MBR) at the front of the disk. It additionally uses sectors 2-5 on Track 0 Head 0, presuming based on DOS's layout that this space will be available. disk. That is, leave the space from Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 2 through Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 63 unallocated, and start your first partition at Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1. For what it's worth, Easiest way to avoid trouble here is to skip Track 0 Head 0 when creating FreeBSD partitions, and start them on Track 0 Head 1. If you already have a DOS partition on your disk up-front, you don't need to deal with this.

The very first thing you should do with Communicator is disable html-encoding. Netscape should be shot and hung for making this a default, and this will save you from constant email harrasment by less-restrained net.entities (such as Pine users like myself) that can't parse the encoded mail. >From the FAQ: How do I disable the use of the HTML tags in Messenger?

That is the really hard way of doing things. Just boot the boot floppy for the new release and select the 'upgrade' option and save yourself a lot of diskspace and headaches. You need to purge the old crt0.o from all compiled programs. If it bothers you, then yes you'll need to rebuild all your ports. Otherwise they will work fine.

Is there > anyone that is using it with a cns 16x0 ? It's likely. The translation of what the dictionary said to you is: A zombie process is one which has exited (it's completely done - fini - toast), and has stopped running. All processes on a UNIX system have a parent process which controls them; child processes are created by calling some variant of fork(). When a child process exits, there are certain pieces of information which the kernel must keep around because it knows that the parent might want to know about them - the exit status of the child, etc. In order to let the child process truly disappear, the parent must ask the kernel "Hey, give me that information that you're holding for me" by using a wait() variant. Until the parent does this, the child can't completely disappear, but it's not running anymore - it's a zombie. This is almost certainly a bug in the program you're running. You can, however, clear up the zombies by killing off the parent process. This will cause init to take over the child processes, and it will reap them (ask "Hey, give me that info"). I haven't heard of the software you're using - sorry - but I'd suggest contacting the author(s) about it. It's possible that they're missing some race condition in 2.2 that they used to hit, or something. -Dave Andersen From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 24 10:53:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA07869 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 10:53:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.ray.com (gatekeeper.ray.com [138.125.162.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA07859 for ; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 10:53:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (mailer@localhost) by gatekeeper.ray.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA28507 for ; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 13:53:24 -0500 Received: from rnccsun1.eo.ray.com by gatekeeper.ray.com; Mon Feb 24 13:52:00 1997 Received: (from gianowa@localhost) by rnccsun1.eo.ray.com (8.8.4/8.8.4) id NAA05740 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 24 Feb 1997 13:52:06 -0500 (EST) From: "William A.

Gifford" Subject: 2.1.7 and Tripwire ftruncate() fun (MORE INFO) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, First the questions: Is anyone successfully running Tripwire on FreeBSD 2.1.7? If so, how did you overcome the problem with ftruncate()? Is the problem with ftruncate() in Tripwire an OS bug? Is it a compiler bug? Now for the background: I downloaded Tripwire 1.2 from ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/Purdue/Tripwire/tripwire-1.2.tar.Z and compiled it. I followed the instructions in the README file included in the tarball and the compile and install went smoothly. I then created my own custom config file for tripwire. Last, I ran tripwire to create the initial database. Here's what happened: bash# ./tripwire -initialize ### Phase 1: Reading configuration file ### Phase 2: Generating file list ### Phase 3: Creating file information database truncate(): Invalid argument bash# I then went back to the source files for tripwire and grep'd for truncate. I found the only occurence was a call to "ftruncate()" in the file "dbase.build.c" in the subroutine "database_record_write()" and nowhere else. Looking at the code some more, I noticed that the file which was to be truncated with ftruncate() was opened the very first time database_record_write() was called by a call to fd_tempfilename_generate() in utils.c, a subroutine that opens a temporary file for reading and writing in /tmp then unlinks it and returns the file descriptor number to the caller. Just so I could see what was happening, I commented out the "unlink()" call in fd_tempfilename_generate() in utils.c so that the temporary file would stick around. In database_record_write() in dbase.build.c I then added some code around the call to ftruncate: /* Added code begins: */ fprintf(stderr, "fdsymlink = %d\n", fdsymlink); if ((err = write(fdsymlink, "Before...\n", 10)) != 10) { fprintf(stderr, "BEFORE: write() returned %d\n", err); } else { fprintf(stderr, "BEFORE: write() succeeded!\n"); } /* End of first chunk of added code */ /* The line below was altered. The original line WAS: if (ftruncate(fdsymlink, 0) < 0) { */ if ((err=ftruncate(fdsymlink, 0)) < 0) { /* More added code below: */ fprintf(stderr, "ftruncate() failed, returning %d -- fdsymlink=%d " "and errno=%d \"%s\"\n", err, fdsymlink, errno, strerror(errno)); if ((err = write(fdsymlink, "After...\n", 9)) != 9) { fprintf(stderr, "AFTER: write() returned %d\n", err); } else { fprintf(stderr, "AFTER: write() succeeded!\n"); } /* End of added code chunk #2 */ die_with_err("truncate()", NULL); } After adding the stuff above I recompiled and this is what I saw: bash# ./tripwire -initialize ### Phase 1: Reading configuration file ### Phase 2: Generating file list ### Phase 3: Creating file information database BEFORE: write() succeeded! ftruncate() failed, returning -1 -- fdsymlink=4 and errno=22 "Invalid argument" AFTER: write() succeeded! truncate(): Invalid argument bash# ls -l /tmp total 2 -rw------- 1 root bin 19 Feb 24 12:42 twz006363 bash# cat /tmp/twz006363 Before... After... bash# I must say I was (and I still am) very puzzled. A quick 'man errno' informed me: 22 EINVAL Invalid argument. Some invalid argument was supplied. (For ex- ample, specifying an undefined signal to a signal or kill func- tion). Then a quick 'man ftruncate' returned: Ftruncate() succeeds unless: [EBADF] The fd is not a valid descriptor. [EINVAL] The fd references a socket, not a file. [EINVAL] The fd is not open for writing. >From my test code and from looking at the tripwire source, the fd is a FILE (not a socket) and is open for WRITING, so why is ftruncate() returning EINVAL? I cannot understand it. From looking at the contents of the temp file after my code additions, I see that when the ftruncate() call occurs, the temp file is length 10 (from the "Before...\n"), the call failes with EINVAL then the very same file descriptor is successfully written to again ("After...\n"). So, what's going on? The tripwire source looks like it SHOULD work. Any ideas? I searched the archive at freebsd.org for "tripwire" and "truncate" and saw a few messages from about a year ago. Unfortunately, none of the messages was of any use (most just reported the bug). Thanks in advance for any and all information. I would really like to get tripwire working.

Look for a line like signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN); If there is a line like that and it isn't wrapped in some ifdef's change it to #ifdef BSD signal(SIGCHLD, sig_child); #else signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN); #endif then at the end of the file add void sig_child(int sig) { #ifdef BSD int pid; int status; /* catch any and all outstanding SIGCHLD's */ while((pid = waitpid(-1, &status, WNOHANG)) > 0) ; #endif } and at the top where you see other function declarations add void sig_child(int); Add a -DBSD to your CFLAGS in the Makefile and send diff's to Corollary.

Thanks for the note. I checked this before I emailed the list(s) and the .c file does correctly include these header files. I did the check because one of the archive messages from about a year ago mentioned something about the correct header files. I could find no ftruncate() prototypes in any of the tripwire .c or .h source files either, so I must conclude that the prototype was successfully included from the above mentioned header files.

When trying to use cu, I receive an error that the specified port is not found (cuaa2). I can use ecu, and dial right out, but the display gets set so the text is black on black. Any suggestions? I'm trying to attach to an older system and have to use some form of cu. Also, I need the terminal type set to an att605 so when/if I get connected I will be able to read things, will this be a problem? The named problem is minor, when starting up, I get an error that the named.boot file is not found, but by loading it from a command prompt, it loads just fine... possibly a problem in where it is located in the sysconfig ?

X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I just upgraded a 486DX-25 from 8MB to 20MB memory and sequential character disk I/O to a SCSI disk is now slower than to an IDE disk on a 386SX! The machine "feels" slow, also. Not only under FreeBSD, but also under Win95 (for processes that do not cause swapping). I have included bonnie results below. The 486 has a VLB BusLogic 445C bus mastering SCSI controller, the 386SX a normal IDE builtin. Note that the 486 is 4-5X faster for block I/O, which is what I was expecting for everything. The kernels do not have bounce buffers enabled. Both machines were lightly loaded. The 486 is a NFS server, the 386SX is a NFS client (it will eventually be a router for my home network, but ppp was not running during these benchmarks). Nothing was NFS mounted. The BIOS setup for the 486 is standard as far as I can tell: 2-1-1-1 memory timing, 256KB cache was enabled, no cache waitstates. The 386 was box stock, also, as far as I know. I have no documentation on the 386 builtin controller, but BSD probes it as a standard IDE controller. I don't get any memory fault indications. Note that the 386SX is only running a 10MB bonnie file, whereas the 486 was running a 30MB. But I am talking sequential input/output, per character, rates: 82K/sec vs 55K/sec output and 87K/sec vs 64K/sec for input. And why is CPU utilization so high for the block I/O on the 486 relative to the 386SX? Any help would be appreciated. I'm at a loss.

A lpr replacement package I use (LPRng) is built to compile on many systems, and the solitary compile-time option is ZOMBIE which I assume addresses this problem.

In my earlier search through the archives, I noticed a message mentioning that certain header files need to be included for ftruncate to correctly work. I then looked at the Tripwire sources and noticed that STDLIBH must be defined for the file(s) to be correctly included. I then defined STDLIBH in the Makefile as a compiler command-line "-DSTDLIBH" so I thought STDLIBH was defined. I was mistaken. I didn't even bother to check the Tripwire configs/conf-bsd.h (which I was using) at all. There was a nifty little "#undef STDLIBH" line in there defeating my command-line definition. Thanks to craigs@os.com's message for pointing me to the conf-bsd.h file! Here's what I did to get Tripwire working on my 2.1.7 system. In Tripwire's configs subdirectory, I copied conf-bsd.h, creating a conf-freebsd.h file. I edited it and changed it so that STDLIBH and DIRENT were both #defined instead of #undef'd. I then edited Tripwire's include/config.h file so that it included the new conf-freebsd.h file. That was all. Simple, is it not? Upon rebuilding Tripwire and reinstalling it, all appears to be working well! Thanks for all the responses, and thanks especially to Craig Shrimpton. I was very confused, barking up the wrong tree.

The ccd driver provides the capability of combining one or more disks/partitions into one virtual disk. I didn't see anything about using ccd to mirror.

Other than the stock system, you need to add the pop server, and you should have what you need. Popper is in the ports (or packages) tree; make & install it, then enable it in /etc/inetd.conf. You may also want to grab poppassd so your users can change their passwords from remote. Sendmail may require further configuration depending on your environment. The O'Reilly 'sendmail' book is the definitive reference, I suggest buying it if you find the default config unsatisfactory. While you're mucking around in inetd.conf, you can disable the services this machine won't be using. Of course, all of this is highly dependent upon your network configuration and personal preferences.

This builds the necessary tools & installs the necessary kernel patches to get you all up to date.

This really depends on the nature of the error. In most cases, only the filesystem is damaged; however, it has been known to wreck mounted DOS partitions, especially if they were FIPS'd and get the "Warning: root directory is not a multiple of clustersize in length" message when mounted.

You need to use the DOS utility 'rawrite.exe' or the unix dd command to copy these to a diskette. The bin files: just copy straight to DOS formatted floppies. Make sure you create a bin\ dir on each disk and put the files in there. Make sure bin.inf is on the first disk too. Just cram on as many as will fit. > I have a passing familiariy with UNIX from several years ago.

Disk install is somewhat tricky. The trick is to put the .inf file of the NEXT distribution on the LAST disk of the PREVIOUS distribution. The order is given in one of the menu items, or by trial and error. Also, once you get bin on, you can load the rest on later using a command like cat file.* | tar xzf - Replace the 'x' with a 't' to find out where the files are going, and set the current directory accordingly before extracting with 'x'. Also note that the archive files can be copied directly from a primary DOS partition, and you can fetch the files directly via FTP or NFS if this workstation has a network connection. The INSTALL.TXT file in the release directory and http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html has full details.

Yes the ppp dose change to PPP ON, however that only means that one of the lower level layers is up. There are several layer which need to come up. I've fetched the rfc on ppp and the FCS stands for Frame Check Sum, so I'm check sum errors. I've turned on all the logging I can, and these errors occur when udp packets are being passed backwards and forward. I think this is then supposed to lead to the machines changing to tcp/ip mode. I've check the information from my ISP and it dosen't mention anything about chap authentication. Thanks very much for your reply, I'll keep you posted.

Floppies will always work, I meant the HD. Normally, it would have that bootstrap where it would allow you to boot with options but the only thing that comes up is Read error and no message even before the brief pause normally.

I think Doug meant "port" as a sort of variable, here, where you would be in the parent directory of the appropriate port and you'd type "get port.tar.gz" where port = the name of the port you want.

I do appreciate your responses and I did learn from them. I'll probably go try this again only on Linux list time. HOWEVER! I'll try to be much more careful how I word the question. I'm very glad this didn't turn into a flame war as that is certainly NOT what I'm looking for. (I sort of want to install FreeBSD now just because you have all been so decent and ... dare I say? ... mature about this. ) BACKGROUND (as if anyone might actually care :) Because of the pace at which the h/w is changing, I have my main "utility" PC ... a Cyrix P150 running Windoze '95 ... and also an "ancient" IBM Valuepoint with a 486-DX which currently is a "pet rock". So I'm thinking I should try to DO something with the pet rock and installing FreeBSD or Linux sounds like a good opportunity for personal growth. (I'm having one of those ... "You know you're really a geek when ..." moments). Since this would not be a production system and would be just the single PC, maybe Linux makes more sense. But I don't have to rush into this so I try to actually take some time to think about what I'm doing before doing it (but just this once ...) One problem is that the ancient 486 box has an IDE controller that won't support a hard drive larger than around 500MB (currently has one WD 340MB). And to think it was once a fairly competitive piece of h/w ??? Anyway, it's a toss up whether I try to just upgrade the controller and hard-drive or throw in the towel and try to get a new motherboard. Once again, thank you very much for your comments. ----john ------------ Life is a very patient tutor. If you don't learn a lesson, it just keeps on repeating it until you finally catch on.

Check your path. Also, are you using tcsh? If so, you need to type "rehash" before it will see new executables.

I currently have the problem that whenever I try to boot my FreeBSD 2.1.5 system, the default boot device is set to 'fd(43)', which does not exist. This causes a spontaneous reboot of the computer and forces me to have to type the following to the boot prompt every time I want to start FreeBSD boot: wd(0,a)/kernel I currently have two IDE hard drives, wd(1) being primarily a backup to the main drive on wd(0). The wd(0) device used to be the default boot device when I ran FreeBSD 2.1.0 on a system with a different hd on wd(1). After I changed my hard drive on wd(1) and updated to FreeBSD 2.1.5, I have been left with the nonexistent fd(43) as the default boot device ever since. Any ideas? Thanks, J.

I've started the install three times at night or when I'll be gone for the day and let it run through the night until I get up in the morning to see how things are going. Everything proceeds without problems, that I can see, until it gets to the post-install configuration. Specifically, the last time I tried a Novice install (before that I had tried custom installs with the same problem) and the problem occured when it got to the Samba setup. It then hangs. Bouncing over to the TTY on F2 I found the following message and continuous beeping: Debug: Unexpected signal 11 caught. That's bad! I can exit the install by hitting Ctrl-C, but it leaves me without a workable system. I'm using the 2.1.7 release installation boot image. I've tried to find some reference in the installation docs on the web server, but without success. What does this error mean and what can I do about it? Where do I proceed from here? Two other quick questions: When you boot the floppy and do the configuration, isn't it supposed to save those settings for the next time you boot? That was my understanding at least, but each time I boot from it, I have to make the changes again. Also, is there a digest form of any of the mailing lists? I'd like to follow some of them if I'm to use FreeBSD, but I prefer digests for high traffic lists. Please respond directly to me, as I am not on this mailing list.

You forgot to install the bin distribution? The kernel isn't getting written somehow. [/SNIP] I certainly have copied over the bin distribution (all on floppy disks... which is the reason i don't want to use 2.1.7 - it took ages to download and copy all the floppies before and this is not commercial at all) Does anyone have any idea why this may be occuring, how it can be cured and if anyone has ever installed FreeBSD on a 486/sx33 compaq aero ?

I wish I knew how to fix it, it involves twidding with disklabel which I'm not familiar with. You need to reinstall it, though.

I wish to install FreeBSD but need a few answers before I attempt anything. The PC is a Gateway 2000 Pentium 200mhz MMX with a 3.8GB hard drive (2GB drive C, 1.8 GB drive D, Mitsumi 12X CD-ROM on drive E) I have 32MB's of RAM and sound card, 17" monitor etc and have Win95 on drive C: . What I want is to have is an option when I boot up to either go into Win95 or freeBSD Xwindows .If I was going to install FreeBSD on the PC from a CD-ROM would that mean erasing everything that is there at the moment or could I erase whats on the existing D: drive and install it there? Normally I would head straight into the installation but since I have never installed FreeBSD before and my computer costing so much I would be very appreciative if these questions could be answered or a step by step guide that I can point my web browser at to get the details on putting the two operating systems on one PC.

Assuming the 'simple' firewall rules set I also want the following 'equivalent' rule: ipfw add deny all NOT from ${onet}:${omask} to any via ${oif} Basically, I'm working on setting up my network with two walls: internet | - - - - router/cleanwall - - - - - | local network | - - - - - firewall - - - - - | secure network Where the first (router) is basically a 'cleanwall' in that it guarantee's no spoofing and it also drops packets from 192.168.* addresses. The localnet will all be on our on Class C network. Everything on the secure side of the firewall will be on the 192.168.* address domain, and the firewall will ONLY allow packets from our IP domain from the outside in, and on the same hand it will only allow 192.168.* addresses from the inside out. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge (and the man page) it looks like ipfw's rules only restrict specific cases, and not the inverse (i.e. all BUT this case).. or am I mistaken? I was thinking I could do: ipfw allow all from ${onet}:${omask} to any in via {$oif} Then simply let everythign else be denied--but when 'allow' is matched it stops checking the rules, so I can't add additional rules for what ports and networking protocols can be passed over the firewall..

I had the same trouble as you. I switched the jumper and now my trouble is gone. Check it out. I came by this answer using a process of elimination. Can someone give a more authoritative explantion on jumper settings and drives to this fellow. I am too new to be 100% certain that I have the solution to this problem nailed down. If I can get some authoritative response on jumper settings I will make a submittal to freebsd-docs to get the FAQS to include this discussion.

After installing their latest software (R3.1/R11.2) I see that now it is using TCP rather than UDP, which is fine with me, I guess, but ever since that, a netstat -m shows 66% of mbufs used, which seems rather high. Right now that is the only thing this box is doing, but later this week, it will be a mail hub, primary DNS, a POP server, and doing some light NFS exports.

To answer my own question, it looks like the 'bsd' versions are in the subdirectory 'other' rather than being listed with everything as they were before. I don't know _which_ bsd we should use, as there is a 'bsd' version and a 'bsd2' version--the 'bsd' version seems to look fine, I don't know what the difference is.

I finally called Fujitsu and spoke to customer service and determined there was a problem with the hardware. I returned the drive for a new one. I also located the FAQ about adding a new drive using /stand/sysinstall. The new drive works, but later I examined the disklabel and I can not figure out how or why this drive now works! The geometry reported by disklabel is no where near the correct geometry, however the drive can now read and write without crashing the system (3.0-current and only a hardboot would recover). I've attached a copy of the disklabel for this drive. Can somebody let me know if this is something I should be worried about because the primary purpose of this drive is to store a backup copy of my primary drive? [NOTE: dump was only done AFTER /stand/sysinstall setup the disk. Disklabel and fdisk reported the same info about the drive BEFORE I attempted dump] I have already done (the drive in question is mounted as /backup): dump 0auf /backup/bk1_root.970224 / dump 0auf /backup/bk1_var.970224 /var dump 0auf /backup/bk1_usr.970224 /usr dump exits successfully after completing. I can read the directory ok, I even did mkdir 970224 and mv'ed all three files to it. The correct geometry (per Fujitsu) is 4982 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 SCT.

Does 7 hrs 25 min seem too long? I've got a Pentium 133, 16 Mb 70ns (gulp) RAM and a Conner CFP1080S hooked to an NCR810 (and an Asus mainboard, but no trouble at all). When I started compiling 2.2, it was about 23:30. When I woke up, the machine had finished at 5:00.

But I don't think you would have problems running a large IDE HD with FreeBSD on your old MB. I had a 486DX33 with AMI BIOS from about 1991. Apparently it didn't know about my 850M Maxtor but didn't mind having the huge cylinder/sector/heads numbers entered that Maxtor said were to be used. Then FreeBSD worked perfectly. Currently that HD is in a 386SX16 luggable portable (with an even older BIOS) and is used to haul FreeBSD to friend's houses and install (via NFS over ethernet). If you hang around on the FreeBSD lists you'll quickly find out we have a distinct preference for SCSI. As I understand, if your BIOS won't let you enter out of range values in its hard drive description, then you set values that it likes and use the geometry option in FreeBSD's sysinstall to tell FreeBSD the truth. Linux probably has similar support. And once running, neither Linux nor FreeBSD ever make BIOS calls. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

And then the boot prompt again. I tried to install again today, again without success. However, this time it did not run into that same error. It seemed to go through the installation fine (though never having successfully installed FreeBSD before, I can only guess what `fine' is), although I did not hear much additional disk activity. Beyond the basic installation, I did not install any extra packages, etc, I wanted to get a working system first. However, I did install Xwindows and when I got to the configuration for it, it seemed to think that X was not installed.

I've tried many options in the kernel (following tips from Mailing Archive, FAQ etc.,) but still couldn't get any sound out of it ? Boot probe says sb0 not found at 0x220. This card has Sound Blaster Emulation at port 0x220. Following a tip from a previous post, I've disabled PnP setting in BIOS and set that IRQ 5 and 9 are used by an ISA Card. This poses no problems for Win95. Soft booting after booting to DOS from a floppy also failed. Here is the device configuration from Win95 : (For DOS) MIDI : IRQ 9 Port 330 SB Enabled at 220 (checked) Wave Address : 534 IRQ 5 DMA 1 When in DOS, SSConfig gives the following settings (Automatic detection) Digital Audio : Port 330 IRQ = 7 DMA = 1 MIDI : FM Synthesis OPL Chip Port 388 I tried these also by disabling lpt0 which conflicts with it. The sound directory contains a file sscape.c. I tried to recompile the kernel after including sscape0 as a device. It gives some errors when compiling one program. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Since I've not subscribed to mailing lists , pls copy any mail directly to me. Thank you in advance. Ajith.

Hm. This presents a problem. Your PC may be new enough, but some BIOSes can't boot operating systems below the 1024th cylinder on a disk, about 500mb or 1gb depending on disk translation. If you're going to clear it all of anyway, you shouldn't have a problem, but if you are just going to take over the 1.8gb slice then it will be a factor. > What I want is to have is an option when I boot up to either go into > Win95 or freeBSD Xwindows .If I was going to install FreeBSD on the PC > from a CD-ROM would that mean erasing everything that is there at the > moment or could I erase whats on the existing D: drive and install it > there?

Assuming the above is OK (and there isn't any way to tell until you try it, sorry), that would be the way to go. Do read INSTALL.TXT and http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html before beginning, and feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

You can do any of the post-install activities afterwards. If you try installing again, try the following: 1. Delete the freebsd slice and start anew. 2. Keep an eye on the ALT-F2 console during install.

DOS and friends are pretty lenient towards bad memory, but FreeBSD gives it a real workout and will ferret out any faulty RAM.

The system does not recognize PCCARD modems by default. You need to install the PAO package. You can get PAO from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. I've used this package on three laptops and it is a joy to set up and run.

That normally includes MSDOS filesystems that are 512MB or greater. When you use FIPS to shrink an MSDOS FS from, say 1GB, to say, 400MB, the cluster size does not decrease, and there is still a problem. Note that you are still in danger EVEN if you mount the MSDOS FS read-only. The problem appears to be fixed in the 2.2 series of code.

That is in fact the whole point of the ascii mode of FTP -- when in ascii mode it makes the appropriate adjustments to newlines, while binary mode just sends the data through untouched. Now that I think about it, there's a GNU utility called flip that does exactly what you wanted. Hmm, I wouldn't be surprised if it's findable at ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu, or whatever their FTP server is called (I think that's it). > > Alternately, see the unix FAQ, which covers just this sort of thing, and > > man xargs. > > Looking for the FAQ as I'm writing this. > > Thanks again > > -- > Randall D.

Actually, I never use DOS/Windoze, I just keep it there for the occasional time that my brother comes to visit and wants to play games on it ;). I've been using Linux and have had no problems with it so far, although I have had a few more crashes than I used to have, I figured that that was due to the fact that I changed to a slightly less stable kernel about the same time that I upgraded the RAM. But, just to be sure, do you know of anyway that I can run a good check on the memory to see if there are any problems with it. Thanks for your help.

It depends on how stuck you get, if you get stuck :) Well, after a couple of attemps I got through the installation. But I have a couple of questions. Where is your shell defined? I've checked both the passwd and the master.passwd file, but it doesn't seem to make a difference what the shell statements are here? Another thing, I have configured my XFree96 exactly the same way as I did with the latest slackware, but when I try to run 'startx' it starts up the server and the screen goes blank - and the machine restarts? I am using a Pentium Pro with a Matrox Millenium 2 mb. Any suggestions? A last thing, when I am using the /stand/sysinstall program to install packages, I run into a problem, since I am installing from an msdos partition I only have 8.3 filenames, and the installation program is expecting long filenames, and it therefore can't install. Is there anyway of 'cheating' the program or do I have to install everything manually? > Certainly, let us know at questions@freebsd.org.

Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, Brandon Gillespie Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk BSD communicator is there, and the browser works well. In fact, the *engine* is obviously MUCH improved. It renders the text of pages almost instantaneously, and its caching is in a new league. Further, if you put java_40 in the right place, it works too. On technical grounds, much kudos to netscape. There are, however, multiple problems. The bookmarks facility is completely broken. You can't add new ones. The user interface is, unfortunately, moving toward M$ IE. It's much much worse. I don't know what Netscape is thinking! Almost every aspect of the look and the layout is worse than before (no joke). And it's definitely not designed with unix in mind. For example, a great feature for X in Netscape 3.0 is the Alt-L, which opens a *clear* field into which you can input a URL (great for when you are pasting highlighted text from another window). In 4.0, Alt-L opens the field with the current URL highlighted (superceding whatever you highlighted elsewhere). Haven't reviewed the email facility much. But a major complaint is that the default is "rich text", so that most of your recipients can't read your mail!

(Because I+ve only some experience with UNIX as an ordinary user and a little bit through using Linux at home in the past.) I use FreeBSD Version 2.6.1 at the moment. Does this version already support the ELF-Style or do I have to upgrade to a new Compiler- and/or OS-Version? Thanks in advance.

Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, Brandon Gillespie BSD communicator is there, and the browser works well. In fact, the *engine* is obviously MUCH improved. It renders the text of pages almost instantaneously, and its caching is in a new league. Further, if you put java_40 in the right place, it works too. On technical grounds, much kudos to netscape. There are, however, multiple problems. The bookmarks facility is completely broken. You can't add new ones. The user interface is, unfortunately, moving toward M$ IE. It's much much worse. I don't know what Netscape is thinking! Almost every aspect of the look and the layout is worse than before (no joke). And it's definitely not designed with unix in mind. For example, a great feature for X in Netscape 3.0 is the Alt-L, which opens a *clear* field into which you can input a URL (great for when you are pasting highlighted text from another window). In 4.0, Alt-L opens the field with the current URL highlighted (superceding whatever you highlighted elsewhere). Haven't reviewed the email facility much. But a major complaint is that the default is "rich text", so that most of your recipients can't read your mail!

It works once under BSD, but subsequent accesses result in a "NO SELECT failed: Can't open mailbox (null): no such mailbox". I have to rm -R the ns_imap directory, then it works again - once. I haven't looked at this problem closely. Also, Messenger under BSD sends a LIST "" "*" to the IMAP server, recursively listing all files in your home directory (in my case, 150MB in 2300 files). This is annoying. Oddly, Messenger under Windows 95 sends a LIST "" "%", non-recusively listing files in the home directory. Why they need to list *any* files outside of what you specify as your mail directory is beyond me. ...But when IMAP does work, it works really well.

The Microsoft desktop of the future is going to be IE (Bill Gates, last fall in some news conference). To further that end, just as a side note, Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0, now known as MS Dev Studio, will use IE as a front end. Its on their web site. SO- what I guess I'm saying is Netscape is following along and trying to blend in. Its really an intelligent move on their part as a profit company, its either lead, as they did, follow, as they are doing now, or die. My point in all this is that obviously some parts of the port didn't translate well to some flavors of bsd unix, probably. Which is a testament to Microsoft's bold ignorance or blatant disregard for long held and cherished unix standards that have really made open computing a reality. The IE browser (replace 'browser' with 'desktop' soon) veers away from that open standard, pulling Netscape and all the 3rd parties with it. Thus proven standards are breached, and we have the destruction of the SysV and BSD architectures. I hope this cheery thought brightens your day.

If your drive is IDE then it is compatible. Fear not. You can get it working. Ensure that you know where your drive is connected inside the machine and that the jumpers are set correclty. Your kernel must contain... options ATAPI device wcd0 The device for the IDE controller that your drive is connected to. For example. controller wdc0 controller wdc1 Your kernel may optionally contain... options CD9660 options ATAPI_STATIC CD9660 can be loaded dynamically when you mount the drive from a loadable kernel module. It is optional. ATAPI_STATIC means (if i understand LINT correctly) that the cdrom can not be mounted with a loadable kernel module. I believe it is also optional. It may not be supported in version 2.1.5. I know that I use it in 2.2 gamma. Read the file /sys/i386/conf/LINT for correct syntax. I may be wrong on syntax. When you reboot you should see messages describing your CDROM. If you do not then it is not configured correctly in the kernel. Try again. Ensure that a CD is in the drive prior to mounting the drive. Then enter the command... mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt That should do it.

There is no supplied command in FreeBSD 2.1.7 or prior versions that will remove a user's account. You can install ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/removeuser2.tar.gz FreeBSD 2.2 will include (2.2-BETA and 2.2-GAMMA versions already include it) the command rmuser(8), which is essentially the same as removeuser mentioned above; both follow these steps: 1. Removes the user's crontab(1) entry (if any) 2. Removes any at(1) jobs belonging to the user 3.* Sends a SIGKILL signal to all processes owned by the user 4. Removes the user from the system's local password file 5. Removes the user's home directory (if it is owned by the user), in- cluding handling of symbolic links in the path to the actual home directory 6. Removes the incoming mail and pop daemon* mail files belonging to the user from /var/mail 7.* Removes all files owned by the user from /tmp, /var/tmp, and /var/tmp/vi.recover. 8. Removes the username from all groups to which it belongs in /etc/group. (If a group becomes empty and the group name is the same as the username, the group is removed; this complements adduser(8)'s per-user unique groups).

To explain... My network topology uses two 'walls': : | Internet => : => Local Network => | => Secure Network : | Cleanwall Firewall Basically, the cleanwall is just our Cisco router, which is setup to deny spoofing and to drop anything from 192.168.0 on the floor. Most of the workstations in the building are on the Local network. The secure network will contain our database systems. I'm working on setting up a FreeBSD box as the Firewall. I want the firewall to deny all packets that are NOT from our IP domain (206.81.134.0). I was hoping for a rule with ipfw (and I couldn't find it) like: ipfw add deny all NOT from ${onet}:${omask} to any from ${oif} An alternative I have considered is to simply allow any from $onet, and deny everything else--but this rule would drop it out immediately, so I couldn't further filter based on protocol and port.

This is what the variable points to... Usually I install all the files in /usr/local/lib/netscape and then put the netscape binary in /usr/local/bin. In the README for netscape it says the following about java: Java Applet support is available for all Unix platforms. To run Java applets with the Java-enabled version, the Navigator needs to be able to load Java class files from a file called java_301. This file is included in the distribution, but must be moved to any of these directories: The current directory /usr/local/netscape/java/classes /usr/local/lib/netscape $HOME/.netscape To play around with 4.0 on machines I do not have root on I just run it out of a directory in my home directory where it can load the class library but I still have to unset my CLASSPATH environment variable to get java to work. This is what I do to launch netscape so java works correctly: ------------ #!/bin/sh CLASSPATH=/usr/local/lib/netscape4/java_40 NETSCAPE=/usr/local/bin/netscape4 export CLASSPATH NETSCAPE exec $NETSCAPE ------------ Paul Saab spaul@more.net From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 26 12:31:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA01145 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 12:31:06 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhost1.cac.washington.edu (mailhost1.cac.washington.edu [140.142.32.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA01140 for ; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 12:31:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from s5-25-199.student.washington.edu (S5-25-199.student.washington.edu [128.95.25.199]) by mailhost1.cac.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW96.12/8.8.4+UW96.12) with SMTP id MAA14564; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 12:28:15 -0800 Message-ID: <33149CB7.5CF7@u.washington.edu> Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1997 12:27:35 -0800 From: Jason Wells Organization: (soon to be) Highperformance.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Alexander Nelson CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: MS-DOS References: Õ<61406.216528283@sss.austin.tx.us> <61406.31522450@sss.austin.tx.us> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Alexander Nelson wrote: > > Please tell me how to get the FreeBSD handbook through the e-mail server.

FCS stands for "frame check sequence" which is *not* a checksum, it is the sequence of characters used to simulate a data frame over an asynchronous link like a modem. If you are getting FCS errors on dial-up PPP, you are having basic communications problems with your modem link. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I am not at all sure how to interpret this. Does the fact that the hard drive I am using is set up to dual boot with WIN95 and FreeBSD have anything to due with the following error: bad block information at sector 1024065 in /dev/wd0s2: Is it also responsible for all of the out of range errors as well? If so, is there a way that I can get bad144 to only analyze and report on the portion of the hard drive with the FreeBSD slices? If not, are there any other FreeBSD utilities for scanning hard drives for errors? I don't imagine that I can convince DOS/WIN95 versions of scandisk to search for physical errors on my FreeBSD partition. Thank you, -- Jeffrey M.

Dear net, I have upgraded my ZyXEL Elite modem to ISDN. Since then I am having intermittent problems with uucp sessions: sometimes packets arrive with bad checksums or out of order. Sometimes whole sessions go without any problem. I only see this problem with high-speed ISDN connections. There are no problems with V34 (max 28.8k) connections. It looks like a handshake problem, but it isn't. I have checked both the lights on the front panel of the modem, and with an rs232 tester. RTS goes off and on. The modem is configured for rts/cts handshaking. I am using the i protocol with default 1024/16 windows. There are no sio overflow errors in the console. I am running freebsd 2.2 gamma up to ctm 148. The machine has a Pentium 166 on a Gigabyte 586DX motherboard, and I am using the built-in serial ports. (cuaa0 in this case.) I have set up /etc/rc.serial to init port 0 as a modem port. Port speed is set to 115200. The ZyXEL's firmware is v2.04. My ISP is using an Ascend router. When I try to ftp or zmodem a large file, using ppp over this same modem, and to the same provider, I get no errors. (At least, the transfer rate is what it should be, and netstat -i shows no errors.) Some of the things I tried: - Disabled the on-board serial ports and used an ISA card with two 16c550's on it. - Played with the window settings of the i-protocol. - Played with /etc/rc.serial - Upgraded the modem's firmware to 2.05. - Upgraded /usr/src/ to ctm 187. All to no avail... Any ideas?

I would like to be able to browse the windows machines on the other side of the gateway with a windows machine behind the gateway. The problem is the windows machine doesn't get the broadcasts so it doesn't know they are there. Otherwise, it can connect to them fine. It is using Netbios over TCPIP (NetBT). Also, it would be nice if I could echo the rwho packets to the local subnet as well. I would like to do this on a per-service basis though. ie I don't want to forward ALL of the broadcast messages just ones on certain ports. Is this possible?? Thanks.

The best way is to find someone with a SIMM checker, an actual hardware device :) If you can get the system up, try compiling something; if it dies with a sig11 from program cc1, your memory is probably at fault.

The command set for a single modem doesn't change from OS to OS. (or did microsoft find a way to do this too?)

In a box on my screen - nothing on the debug screen. I get the same error for all my slices. Sysinstall continues to try and install only as it has to /usr etc it tries to install (I think) into / and dies a bit later when it runs out of disk space.

Xemacs that is in the packages is linked with Motif (libXm), which is a commercial product. Fortunately, you don't have to buy Motif. There is a free clone called lesstif that is in the incoming directory on freebsd.cdrom.com. You need to grab lesstif, pkg_add it and make a soft link from libXm.so.2.0 to the lesstif library.

No, this won't work. broadcasts are UDP packets which are not routed by a gateway (normally). There may be a way to tell the kernel (with an option) to do UDP routing.

This would leave the disk named as wd1, eventhough it'll be the master disk. This has the disadvantage of giving weird names to the disks (especially if you're going to have another disk as the slave), but it works.

Yes, and the xemacs package with 2.1.7 (the real one, not 2.1.6 :) also has this fixed. See notes at http://www.freebsd.org/newsflash.html for info on upgrading to a 2.1.7 CD for 2.1.6 customers.

You have a very early version of the 2.1.7 boot.flp image which was actually overwritten some 4 hours after the first one was mistakenly put up. If you do not have this MD5 signature for your boot.flp image: MD5 (boot.flp) = 919acc966ca45eb0f808acad1fdf138e Then you should fetch a new one from ftp.freebsd.org.

I ran bad144 on my hard drives last night, but found the information to be quite cryptic. I also got a lot of errors (bad block flag error, cylinder/track/sector parameters out of range). It occurred to me that there are perhaps special concerns when my hard drive has both DOS and FreeBSD resident. Bad144 seemed to want to scan the entire disk, however wouldn't that then be meaningless in the dual install case? My DOS slice is considered /dev/wd0s1 and my FreeBSD slices are /dev/wd0s2a ... etc Is there a way to get bad144's scanning capabilities to only identify with the FreeBSD slices if that is in fact my problem? Also, is there documentation somewhere that might help me to learn to interpret the output of bad144? Thank You, J.

It's not so hard to type 'java Class'...... I like my users to be aware that they are running through an interpreter, and that there are command line options to the interpreter. BTW, there's no such thing as a 'java binary'.

People might be playing with source-routed packets (lots of IP spoof attacks on stuff like rsh, rlogin, etc, that rely on an IP for authentication of a machine), from what I remember that could be a way to do it. Do a sysctl net.inet.ip.sourceroute , it should equal 0 (from memory FreeBSD defaults to that, and all my 2.1.x and 2.2 machines do). Another way that I've done before is sending the machine a spoofed DNS packet just after the connection is requested, sending incorrect reverse-dns data to the machine running the ircd. Is the machine that isn't suceptable running a nameserver? Also - try asking the guys who wrote the undernet server source and anti-IP spoofing protection, they might have a thing or two to say :) Anyone else have any ideas? Adrian.

Here is a brief background description. I have two Maxtor IDE hard drives on the wd0 controller. Both the Master and Slave drives are set with dual partitions, DOS/Win95 and FreeBSD. The beginning portions of each drive are dedicated to DOS/FreeBSD and the later sectors are dedicated to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD operating system that I use actually resides on disk wd0, and a large root partition (obtained through the sysinstall facility of the FreeBSD on wd0) resides on disk wd1. The reason I have this setup as opposed to one OS per drive is that I want the wd1 drive to act as a backup for both opperating systems. I have had to reinstall FreeBSD too many times from floppies, due to corruption problems with msdosfs, to not have fast backups available. I have no SCSI controllers that support tape drives and I am told that floppy tape drive support is slow and is not very reliable under FreeBSD. Hence the best backup solution for me for both DOS and Win95 was to have two independent drives with DOS and FreeBSD; one primary (wd0), and one backup (wd1). Here's the problem. From FreeBSD, I mount my wd1 drive to perform backup storage operations: mount -rw -t ufs /dev/wd1s2 /mnt Again, the second drive, wd1 has a single large root partition (/dev/wd1s2a and nothing else) starting from a sector somewhere in the middle of the drive, and ending at the last sector of the drive. I periodically hear a relatively loud and unhealthy sounding click (or it may be described as a scratch) coming from the drive. This sound does not occur on the primary hard drive on wd1 where I normally would run FreeBSD. It does not occur when accessing the DOS partition on wd1s1 from the Win95 operating system on wd0s1. The sound only occurs when I mount wd1s2 and perform backup operations from the FreeBSD on wd0d2. I had previously had a refurbished hard drive containing the /dev/wd1s2 partition, but it died very quicky (fortunately for me within the short warranty period). That drive made the same scratching noises I hear now. The latest hard drive I have has lasted quite some time like this, but the sound is disconcerting. Any thoughts? Thanks So Much, J. Metcalf PS. I thought that maybe switching the order of the FreeBSD residence on the wd1 hard drive might help. In other words, install the FreeBSD portion at the beginning of the drive , and the DOS portion at the end. Would this be a waste of time with respect to this problem?

You ask if you can install from C: to D:. Does this mean you already have FreeBSD installed on C: ? Given that you have an ether net card. I recommend instaling via FTP. I did and it was a snap. During the installation routine you will be asked to configure partitions for the installation. You will probably be given something like this. Select the drive for primary partition... [wd0] <------ C: drive [wd1] <------ D: drive After selecting the drive to install to you will be asked to partition the drive. One of the slices will be labeled DOS. DONT mess with this and you shouldnt lose any info.

Installation of FreeBSD is next to impossible unless one is already in a Unix environment with ALREADY configured ftp, or one BUYS the CD. It would be nice if there were easy to use instructions how to install from a DOS partition, especially the packages. Maybe sample configuration files for ftp in FreeBSD, or just WHERE to put packages in DOS so that the installation will actually find them. How do you expect any sane (oxymoron) Windows-user to WANT to migrate to Unix under these circumstances? Rather than learning anything, I feel that I'm working in the dark, even reading the handbook. WHY ISN'T A SIMPLE HTML BROWSER INCLUDED SO THAT ONE CAN READ THE DOCUMENTATION? Lynx can't be obtained except one ftp in the FreeBSD environment, but that's not possible unless one can configure the dialer. Installing from DOS can't find the packages index. In other words, YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE. How does one even know how to acces the floppies? It took me several installations just to get XFree to recognize my mouse, and even now I can"t get the #$%^@& thing to start up except in some strange video resolution.

Exactly right; the same is true of multicasts. There are situations in which you want to route multicasts, or even broadcasts, between two networks, but they are few and far between. About the only router maker that really understands this is Cisco. You could probably fake it to some extent with a FreeBSD router with some creative route table manipulations, but chances are pretty good you'll just screw up routing to the point where it doesn't work at all. In general, if you want to share broadcasts or multicasts between two networks, you need bridges rather than routers. The idea of a broadcast packet being literally sent to every computer attached to the internet gives me the creeping willies. What an abuse! -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

As someone who is heavily involved in Java right now, I think doing that is the *wrong* thing to do. First of all, JDK 1.1 is released, and until someone ports it to FreeBSD your binaries may not work correctly if they are compiled with the newer compiler. Second of all, it means that someone must really 'own' the JDK and support bugs in it, and I don't think we have anyone willing to do that (especially given that the group can't maintain it due to licensing restrictions). Next, how do you setup the CLASSPATH? You *must* assume the JDK lives in a specified directory, but the *entire* thing is in so much flux most of the time that you can't rely on this. The classes.zip file (effectively libc under unix) might not be found to have tons of bugs, and trying to keep -current with it and such as a user would be a nightmare, since it would require sticking things in the 'FreeBSD' expected locations vs. right now with the JDK being pretty much a stand-alone product. Finally, the legality of it could be in question. The folks at Blackdown.org who did the original Linux port question bundling the run-time with Linux, and having support w/out the runtime being bundled by default in the OS seems to be pretty bogus in my eyes. Sun is going to be providing a 'run-time' that everyone can use. When they do that (and if someone ports it to FreeBSD) we can possibly re-visit the issue, but I don't see the first two portions changing.

Same goes for the inside out, except for with ahh....i'm sorry, i missed the list (telnet dns lp). must be getting old ;) the 6 rules below should allow telnet, dns, and lpr from the Localnet to the Securenet (and allow teh Securenet to respond to the Localnet) # the next 6 rules handle connections from Localnet -> Securenet # allow telnet from Localnet to Securenet (incl. connection setup) # and allow the Securenet to respond to telnet packets from Localnet ipfw add allow tcp from 206.81.134/24 to 192.168.1/24 telnet ipfw add allow tcp from 192.168.1/24 telnet to 206.81.134/24 established # allow lpr from Localnet to Securenet # and allow Securenet to rspond to lpr requests from Localnet ipfw add allow ip from 206.81.134/24 to 192.168.1/24 printer ipfw add allow ip from 192.168.1/24 printer to 206.81.134/24 # allow dns queries from Localnet to Securenet # and allow Securenet to rspond to dns queries from Localnet ipfw add allow ip from 206.81.134/24 to 192.168.1/24 domain ipfw add allow ip form 192.168.1/24 domain to 206.81.134/24 # the next 6 rules handle connection from Securenet to Localnet ipfw add allow tcp from 192.168.1/24 to 206.81.134/24 telnet ipfw add allow tcp from 206.81.134/24 telnet to 192.168.1/24 established ipfw add allow ip from 192.168.1/24 to 206.81.134/24 printer ipfw add allow ip from 206.81.134/24 printer to 192.168.1/24 ipfw add allow ip from 192.168.1/24 to 206.81.134/24 domain ipfw add allow ip from 206.81.134/24 domain to 192.168.1/24 you said above "furthermore I want it to ONLY allow tcp packets from 206.81.134.0." is this *in*addition*to* telnet dns and lpr? or a restriction upon dns and lpr (either do/can use udp in additional to tcp) # allow ONLY tcp packets, all tcp packets from Localnet to Securenet ipfw add allow tcp from 206.81.134/24 to 192.168.1/24 ipfw add allow tcp from 192.168.1/24 to 206.81.134/24 is you use the 2 rules above you can get rid of the rules with "tcp" and "telnet" in them, these two are a superset you can add "via" to these rules to harden them if you wish. jmb From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 27 09:32:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA08642 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 09:32:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from david.siemens.de (david.siemens.de [146.254.1.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA08627 for ; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 09:32:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from salomon.mchp.siemens.de (salomon.mchp.siemens.de [139.23.33.13]) by david.siemens.de (8.8.5/8.8.0) with ESMTP id SAA01771 for ; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 18:31:22 +0100 (MET) Received: from curry.mchp.siemens.de (1@curry.mchp.siemens.de [146.180.31.23]) by salomon.mchp.siemens.de (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id SAA02621 for ; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 18:32:05 +0100 (MET) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by curry.mchp.siemens.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA07032 for ; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 18:32:03 +0100 (MET) From: Andre Albsmeier Message-Id: <199702271731.SAA17404@server.us.tld> Subject: Re: Make world (2.2 gamma) fails on dbm routines In-Reply-To: <199702262230.XAA00207@terminus.stuyts.nl> from Ben Stuyts at "Feb 26, 97 11:29:11 pm" To: ben@stuyts.nl Date: Thu, 27 Feb 1997 18:31:57 +0100 (MET) Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL31 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I applied a bunch of ctm's to bring my /usr/src up to "src-2.2 187" and now > make world fails.

It took me (first time unix user) less time to install FreeBSD than it took me to install W95 from cdrom. FreeBSD took about 100 more megabytes than W95 did. Strange but true. I have made some errors on the way. I made errors in windows too. No big deal. This reminds me of a story of one persons experience with the "intuitive" win 3.11 interface.

Installed 1.1.6 (with latest fixes.patch.) Setup okay. Looked at a few pages. Soon got DNS Lookup failures. I could pull up at page say: www.freebsd.org no problem, but then selecting anything off the page would give the error. The host is fine as the main page just cam from it. Happens with many hosts. The hosts work fine if I turn proxies off in Netscape. Going back to 1.1.beta23 works fine again. Tried a couple of other versions 1.1.[234] all same behaviour. Checking the log I can see success for the host and then later failure for the host. If I reload the home page I get success again??? Any ideas? Cheers.

Accton's PCI cards use the DEC chipsets, so this has a pretty decent chance of working, depending on how new a chipset they used. The DEC-based Ethernet chips (the 21140 series at least) are changing and FreeBSD hasn't been updated to deal with them yet.

Yes. You can enter a partition to boot from the Boot: prompt. So if your disk is on IDE disk 0 (wd0), you can enter wd(0,a)/kernel To start your disk. Or sd(0,a)/kernel for SCSI disks. If you can start that way, then it's not your kernel.

I know how that is done but I forgot that it will boot up correctly since I remembered it will always boot up the root partition from the boot prompt's disk instead but this shouldn't matter as it's just a disklabel thing.

What I did was the following: Have two login sessions on the machine then: 1) make a backup copy of /etc 2) kill the sendmail process since mail will be returned unknown. 3) cd /usr/temp 4) ftp each distribution separately in 2.1.7-RELEASE 5) chmod +x * ; ./install.sh 6) rm -rf * 7) repeat steps 4-7 8) cd /etc 9) compare backup copy of /etc to the new copy and commit the diffs make sure you restore the master.passwd, passwd, pwd.db, spwd.db from the backup to /etc 10) Compile a new kernel and shutdown and reboot the machine. Hope this helps.

Because you never wrote one and donated it to us? :-) I'd love to use HTML instead (and you *can* read the documentation, it's just in straight TXT) but I don't have the time to reinvent that particular wheel and no one has given me a stand-alone HTML browser that one could plug into sysinstall. Again, if you'd like to do that then I'll be happy to plug it in, otherwise how else did you think things happens in the free software world? God visits us regularly and contributes software on stone tablets or something? No, we require more earthly assistance to move forward. :-) > Installing from DOS can't find the packages index. That's one of those things which isn't covered due to the name smashing problem. Renaming all the packages to be 8.3 compliant, or mapping their names in a different fashion, would be a lot of work and most folks DO have functioning CDROM drives or FTP connections. I agree that this is a problem, but the solution is more work than would be merited right now and it will be dealt with by using a global 8.3->long name mapping file for everything when I rewrite sysinstall. > In short, your installation s$%^s! No, I think UNIX is simply not for you. It's not for everyone, that much is very clear, and while I could fix a number of your complaints with the installer (and yes, it DOES have some shortcomings, as most installers do), the type of complaints you have only indicate that you'd run into something else immediately afterwards and we'd be right back here again.

It does however mean that the drive is not broken. If your CDROM is connected to the primary IDE controller then you must have device wdc0 in your kernel.

It's also very easy to change to time interval and stop the porcess when it's no longer needed. It's available in the Ports collection. FYI, it can check more than 1 remote email account. :) For more info check the man page for fetchmail. > > Instead of checking your mail, you could have cron run ping sending one > packet to a host in the outside world, thereby causing ppp or pppd to > re-establish your connection automatically. > > On Thu, 27 Feb 1997, RPD wrote: > > > I was wondering if there is a way to make ppp or pppd automatic redial if > > there is a disconnection. > > From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 27 19:25:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA07196 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 19:25:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA07191 for ; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 19:25:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA10085; Thu, 27 Feb 1997 19:25:20 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 27 Feb 1997 19:25:20 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Burton Sampley cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 2.1.6R security hole ?'s 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 Thu, 27 Feb 1997, Burton Sampley wrote: > I have a stupid question.

Well, there were several things that prompted 2.1.6. The major instigator was a exploit found in the setlocale() function, which affected any program compiled under 2.1.6. Sendmail was an (older) item, as well as a buffer overflow in talkd and a million other small things.

I noticed after the download was finished some consol messages about buffer overruns. When I tried to install the package, I got a lot of error messages saying various files "don't really exist." Anybody think this had to do with a communications problem, e.g. the buffer overruns? Could the size of the file (about 13mb) have anything to do with this, or the default speed (115200) of my ppp connection? I'm downloading the file again with the Windows ftp program that I got the 2.1.7 BSD distribution with, but while I wait, just wondering what went wrong the first time.

I've installed version 2.1.6 and have built a small kernel with only specific devices enabled. The board's IRQ is 10 and port is 0x300. Of course this board works perfectly running Win95. It worked briefly at one point, but froze in mid-ftp transfer. The connection via 10Base-T appears fine. My Powerbook duo runs fine with the cable. I've tried different cables without luck too. Could the device driver itself be buggy? Does anyone have any additional info that might help? Much thanks...

I transferred the /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install directory, which includes a Makefile, but trying to "make," or, as the bsd handb ook section on stable suggests, 'make world," I get error messages like "can't open ../Makefile.inc" and "don't know how to make world."

I'm having difficulty with my com ports, when I use ppp it thinks they are both the same port. Whether I set dev /dev/cuaa0 or /dev/cuaa1 it always uses com1. I've booted from a dos diskette and used checkit to verify that both ports work and done loopback tests for both of them under dos as well. Tomorrow I'm gonna try another motherboard just in case, so far I've tried about 4 controller cards (of various unidentified types - but they were working under dos before I acquired them). I've tried booting from the install disk just incase I've managed to screw up my kernel but it does the same thing from the ppp dialer on the boot disk. I'd appreciate it if anyone has any clues. BTW: i don't mind being told to rtfm, at least that tells me that i've missed something and tells me where to look, especially if you tell me which part of TFM. :-) Thanks in advance andrew perry andrew@shoal.net.au From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 28 01:04:01 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA01961 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 01:04:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from python.shoal.net.au (root@python.shoal.net.au [203.26.44.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA01691 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 01:03:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from monty-port20.shoal.net.au (monty-port20.shoal.net.au [203.26.44.30]) by python.shoal.net.au (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA14771 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 20:03:12 +1100 (EST) Received: by monty-port20.shoal.net.au with Microsoft Mail id <01BC25B2.5E8DF7E0@monty-port20.shoal.net.au>; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 20:02:48 +-1100 Message-ID: <01BC25B2.5E8DF7E0@monty-port20.shoal.net.au> From: Andrew Perry To: "'Questions'" Subject: FW: Where Can Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 20:02:36 +-1100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by freefall.freebsd.org id BAA01932 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk yep, here's something that ben (Snob Art Genre) sent me.

Is it at the ftp site?? Thanks README for XFree86 3.2 on FreeBSD Rich Murphey, David Dawes 26 Oct 1996 1. What and Where is XFree86? XFree86 is a port of X11R6.1 that supports several versions of Intel- based Unix. It is derived from X386 1.2, which was the X server distributed with X11R5. This release consists of many new features and performance improvements as well as many bug fixes. The release is available as source patches against the X Consortium X11R6.1 code, as well as binary distributions for many architectures. See the Copyright Notice. The sources for XFree86 are available by anonymous ftp from: ftp.XFree86.org:/pub/XFree86/current Binaries for XFree86 on FreeBSD 2.1.5 are available from: ftp.XFree86.org:/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/FreeBSD-2.1.5 XFree86.cdrom.com:/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/FreeBSD-2.1.5 Binaries for XFree86 on FreeBSD 2.2-current are available from: ftp.XFree86.org:/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/FreeBSD-current XFree86.cdrom.com:/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/FreeBSD-current Send email to Rich-Murphey@Rice.edu or XFree86@XFree86.org if you have comments or suggestions about this file and we'll revise it. 2. Installing the Binaries If you want to save space, first select which archives you want to unpack. If you can't decide what to pick and you have 52Mb of disk space, it's safe to unpack everything. At a minimum you need to unpack the 'required' X32*.tgz archives plus at least one server that matches your vga card. You'll need 13Mb for the minimum required run-time binaries only. Required (10.7Mb): X32bin.tgz all the executable X client applications and shared libs X32fnts.tgz the misc, 75 dpi and PEX fonts X32lib.tgz data files needed at runtime Required unless you have already customized your configuration files: X32cfg.tgz customizable xinit and xdm runtime configuration files Choose at least one server (max 2.5Mb): X328514.tgz 8-bit color for IBM 8514 and true compatibles. X32AGX.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for AGX and XGA boards. X32I128.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for I128 boards. X32Ma32.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for ATI Mach32 boards. X32Ma64.tgz 8, 16 and 32-bit color for ATI Mach64 boards. X32Ma8.tgz 8-bit color for ATI Mach8 boards. X32Mono.tgz 1-bit monochrome for VGA, Super-VGA, Hercules, and others. X32P9K.tgz 8, 16, and 32-bit color for Weitek P9000 boards (Diamond Viper). X32S3.tgz 8, 16 and 32-bit color for S3 boards. X32S3V.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for S3 ViRGE boards.

X329GAN.tgz 8-bit color for PC98 GA-98NB/WAP boards X329480.tgz 8-bit color for PC98 PEGC X329NKV.tgz 8-bit color for PC98 NEC-CIRRUS/EPSON NKV/NKV2 boards X329WBS.tgz 8-bit color for PC98 WAB-S boards X329WEP.tgz 8-bit color for PC98 WAB-EP boards X329WSN.tgz 8-bit color for PC98 WSN-A2F boards X329EGC.tgz 4-bit color for PC98 EGC X329TGU.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for PC98 Trident Cyber9320/9680 boards X329NS3.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for PC98 NEC S3 boards X329SPW.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for PC98 S3 PW/PCSKB boards X329LPW.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for PC98 S3 PW/LB boards X329GA9.tgz 8 and 16-bit color for PC98 S3 GA-968 boards X32nest.tgz A nested server running as a client window on another display. Optional: X32doc.tgz (.6Mb) READMEs X32ps.tgz (.XMb) READMEs in PostScript X32html.tgz (.XMb) READMEs in HTML X32man.tgz (1.8Mb) man pages X32f100.tgz (1.6Mb) 100dpi fonts X32fscl.tgz (1.7Mb) Speedo and Type1 fonts X32fnon.tgz (3.3Mb) Japanese, Chinese and other non-english fonts X32fcyr.tgz (.6Mb) Cyrillic fonts X32fsrv.tgz (.3Mb) the font server and its man page X32prog.tgz (4.8Mb) config, lib*.a and *.h files needed only for compiling X32lkit.tgz (10.8Mb) X server reconfiguration kit X32lk98.tgz (14.2Mb) X server reconfiguration kit for PC98 X servers Note that there is no longer a separate xdm archive. FreeBSD 2.0 and later handles this in shared libraries now, so that the xdm binary does not itself contain des and there is no more need for us to provide separate tar balls. 2.1. Full Install: 1. You must be logged in as root to unpack the archives because several executables are set-user-id. Otherwise the server may abort if you unpack it as an ordinary user. You must also use a ``umask'' value of 022 because the X server requires special permissions. % su # umask 022 2. If you have 52Mb free in the /usr partition ``cd /usr'' and skip to no. 4. Otherwise, create a directory on another partition and sym link it into /usr: # cd /usr/local # mkdir X11R6 # ln -s /usr/local/X11R6 /usr/X11R6 3. Run the preinst.sh script # cd /usr/X11R6 # sh preinst.sh 4. Unpack everything: If you are using sh (as root usually does): # for i in X32*.tgz; do # tar -x -z --unlink -f $i # done Else, if you are using csh: % foreach i (X32*.tgz) % tar -x -z --unlink -f $i % end 5. Create a symbolic link ``X'' that points to the server that matches your video card. The XF86_* man pages list which vga chip sets are supported by each server. For example, if you have an ET4000 based card you will use the XF86_SVGA server: # cd /usr/X11R6/bin; rm X; ln -s XF86_SVGA X 2.2. Minimal Install: First do numbers 1, 2 and 4 above. Then unpack the required archives: # for i in bin fnts lib xicf; do # tar -x -z --unlink -f X32$i.tgz # done Then unpack a server archive corresponding to your vga card. The server man pages, X11R6/man/man1/XF86_*, list the vga chip sets supported by each server. For example, if you have an ET4000 based card you will use the XF86_SVGA server: # tar -x -z --unlink -f X32SVGA.tgz # cd /usr/X11R6/bin; rm X; ln -s XF86_SVGA X 2.3. After either Full or Minimal Install above: Add /usr/X11R6/bin to the default path for sh in /etc/profile and for csh in /etc/csh.login if they are not already there: # echo 'set path = ($path /usr/X11R6/bin)' >>/etc/csh.login # echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin' >>/etc/profile Or make sure all who use X put /usr/X11R6/bin in their shell's ``path'' variable. Next either reboot or invoke ldconfig as root to put the shared libraries in ld.so's cache: # ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib If you had already configured X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc or X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/* omit the xinit-config or xdm-config archive or unpack it separately and merge in your customizations. The fscl and f100 archives are optional and can be omitted if you are short on space. The optional link archive allows you to reconfigure and customize a X server binary. The optional prog archive is needed only for writing or compiling X applications. The optional pex archive contains pex clients and libraries for building 3D graphics applications. NOTE: You don't need to uncompress the font files, but if you uncompress them anyway you must run mkfontdir in the corresponding font directory; otherwise your server will abort with the message ``could not open default font 'fixed'''. 3. Installing The Display Manager (xdm) The display manager makes your PC look like an X terminal. That is, it presents you with a login screen that runs under X. The easiest way to automatically start the display manager on boot is to add a line in /etc/ttys to start it on one of the unoccupied virtual terminals: ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure You should also make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a symbolic link to the Xserver that matches your video card or edit the file Xservers in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm to specify the pathname of the X server. The change to /etc/ttys won't take effect until you either reboot or ``kill -HUP 1'' to force initd to reread /etc/ttys. You can also test the display manager manually by loging in as root on the console and typing ``xdm -nodaemon''. 4. Configuring X for Your Hardware The XF86Config file tells the X server what kind of monitor, video card and mouse you have. You must create it to tell the server what specific hardware you have. It is strongly recommended that you use either the `XF86Setup' utility (which requires the VGA16 server to be installed), or the `xf86config' utility to generate an XF86Config file. In order to protect your hardware from damage, the server no longer will read XF86Config files from a user's home directory, but requires that it be in /etc/XF86Config, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.hostname or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. You'll need info on your hardware: o Your mouse type, baud rate and its /dev entry. o The video card's chipset (e.g. ET4000, S3, etc). o Your monitor's sync frequencies. The easiest way to find which device your mouse is plugged into is to use ``cat'' or ``kermit'' to look at the output of the mouse. Connect to it and just make sure that it generates output when the mouse is moved or clicked: % cat < /dev/tty00 If you can't find the right mouse device then use ``dmesg|grep sio'' to get a list of devices that were detected upon booting: % dmesg|grep sio sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa Then double check the /dev entries corresponding to these devices. Use the script /dev/MAKEDEV to create entries if they don't already exist: % cd /dev % sh MAKEDEV tty00 If you plan to fine tune the screen size or position on your monitor you'll need the specs for sync frequencies from your monitor's manual. 5. Running X 8mb of memory is a recommended minimum for running X. The server, window manager, display manager and an xterm take about 8Mb of virtual memory themselves. Even if their resident set size is smaller, on a 8Mb system that leaves very space for other applications such as gcc that expect a few meg free. The R6 X servers may work with 4Mb of memory, but in practice compilation while running X can take 5 or 10 times as long due to constant paging. The easiest way for new users to start X windows is to type ``startx >& startx.log''. Error messages are lost unless you redirect them because the server takes over the screen. To get out of X windows, type: ``exit'' in the console xterm. You can customize your X by creating .xinitrc, .xserverrc, and .twmrc files in your home directory as described in the xinit and startx man pages. 6. Rebuilding Kernels for X The GENERIC FreeBSD 2.1.0, 2.1.5 and 2.2-current kernels support XFree86 without any modifications required. You do not need to make any changes to the GENERIC kernel or any kernel configuration which is a superset. For a general description of BSD kernel configuration get smm.02.config.ps.Z . It is a ready-to-print postscript copy of the kernel configuration chapter from the system maintainers manual. If you do decide to reduce your kernel configuration file, do not remove the two lines below (in /sys/arch/i386/conf). They are both required for X support: options XSERVER #Xserver options UCONSOLE #X Console support The generic FreeBSD 2.1.0, 2.1.5 and 2.2-current kernels are configured by default with the syscons driver. To configure your kernel similarly it should have a line like this in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC: device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr The number of virtual consoles can be set using the NCONS option: options "NCONS=4" #4 virtual consoles Otherwise, the default without a line like this is 12. You must have more VTs than gettys as described in the end of section 3, and 4 is a reasonable minimum. The server supports several console drivers: pccons, syscons and pcvt. The syscons driver is the default in FreeBSD 1.1.5 and higher. They are detected at runtime and no configuration of the server itself is required. The XFree86 servers include support for the MIT-SHM extension. The GENERIC kernel does not support this, so if you want to make use of this, you will need a kernel configured with SYSV shared memory support. To do this, add the following line to your kernel config file: options SYSVSHM # System V shared memory options SYSVSEM # System V semaphores options SYSVMSG # System V message queues If you are using a SoundBlaster 16 on IRQ 2 (9), then you need a patch for sb16_dsp.c. Otherwise a kernel configured with the SoundBlaster driver will claim interrupt 9 doesn't exist and X server will lock up. S3 cards and serial port COM 4 cannot be installed together on a system because the I/O port addresses overlap. 7. Rebuilding XFree86 The server link kit allows you to build an X server using a minimum amount of disk space. Just unpack it, make the appropriate changes to xf86site.def, type ``./mkmf' and ``make'' to link the server. See README.LinkKit for more info. The source tree takes about 114Mb before compiling and an additional 100Mb after ``make World''. You should configure the distribution by editing xf86site.def and site.def in xc/config/cf before compiling. By default, the config files are set up to build shared libraries. To compile the sources on FreeBSD 1.1 and later, edit xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf to set the OS version parameters correctly, and then type: make World 8. Building Other X Clients The easiest way to build a new client (X application) is to use xmkmf if an Imakefile is included with it. Type ``xmkmf -a'' to create the Makefiles, then type ``make''. Whenever you install additional man pages you should update whatis.db by running ``makewhatis /usr/X11R6/man''. Note: Starting with XFree86 2.1 and FreeBSD 1.1, the symbol __386BSD__ no longer gets defined either by the compiler or via the X config files for FreeBSD systems. When porting clients to BSD systems, make use of the symbol BSD for code which is truly BSD-specific. The value of the symbol can be used to distinguish different BSD releases. For example, code specific to the Net-2 and later releases can use: #if (BSD >= 199103) To ensure that this symbol is correctly defined, include in the source that requires it.

I forgot to mention that out of the box 1.1.7 falls over compiling acl.c with a parse error in squid.h. Didn't look at it. Just a #elsif in there which it didn't like. Just commented it out (didn't do anything for FreeBSD) and it seems to compile. 1.1.6 picked up my max open files correctly as 680. However, 1.1.7 reckons on 256. I've actually bumped it up to 4096, so it's completely off. Anyway, I didn't hold out much hope for 1.1.7 as all 1.1.x versions I've tried exhibit this behaviour. Same problem. Here's a log. Pulled up www.freebsd.org hoem page no problem.

Read the makefile. :-) They're significantly different. World handles a whole bunch of possible dependency issues where `all' just runs things in order. > What the `make distribute' in src/Makefile does? And so on... Again, you should really look at the Makefile. :-) It's like an install, but it puts things into a subdirectory (distribution). > Could you tell me please, what are usable tags in src/Makefile > and in src/release/Makefile and what its for? For src/Makefile, you should simply look at the top where it says: # The intended user-driven targets are: # ... And src/release/Makefile is nothing you want to run unless you're making a complete release (and for this, we provide no tech support - if you want to walk that hairy path, you need to understand the Makefile *thoroughly* first anyway :-).

I decided to "downgrade" it from -current to see if it would improve, and had a "fun" time doing it. Never managed a clean "make world". I had to step through the different targets in make and skip the "make lib-tools" where it invariably hangs (/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc or thereabouts). I figure I'm half there, I managed to get a 2.2 kernel going ok, and the machine is holding. Are there any diagnostics tools I should be running to track what's wrong? It could, of course, be a hardware problem, but I want to hear from some experts before I give up and start from scratch. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

If it was via FTP, then you will actually have to wait another 20 hours or so since I *just* fixed that problem in 2.1-stable (I'd already fixed it in -current and 2.2 when your message reminded me that I needed to put it in 2.1 as well) and the update scripts are only run once a day (at 3am or so). Actually, now that I think about it, the fix is simple enough that I can just describe here so that you can make the change by hand if necessary. :-) Go into pkg_install/add and edit extract.c, going to line 56. If you see this: maxargs = sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX); maxargs -= 64; Then change it to this: maxargs = sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) / 2; (and delete the line where maxargs is further decremented). Thanks!

If you've already done 'make world' on the 2.1.7 box, you don't need to rebuilding everything on the other machine. Try just make install. You'll need to configure and make a 2.1.7 kernel for the new machine as well, of course. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

It may be marginally OK, so win95 won't complain, but FreeBSD is the greatest hardware tester around and will ferret out flaky hardware. Plus, NE2000 are cheap on purpose, they aren't the highest quality hardware in the universe. Try replacing it and see if that helps. And just for kicks, esp. if this is a Plug & Pray box, make sure nothing else is using IRQ 10. I know for a fact that the ed0 driver is very good. I ran an NE2000 pretty hard in this box (was a P90) for several months without a single burp.

I currently run Linux and am interested in running FreeBSD. I've tried using the boot disk provided for Release 2.1.7 and I a little confused about the notation used for "slicing" a hard disk. Basically I have 2 IDE drives and one SCSI. I've got 500meg free on the SCSI. I could find about 50meg free on the first IDE. If I were installing Linux I'd put / on the 50meg of the first IDE and the rest of the system on the 500meg of the SCSI. Is is possible to split FreeBSD like this? As I said, the notation used for the disk partitioning is new to me and I'm afraid of screwing some- thing up. Can anyone point me to some documentation which explains FreeBSD partitioning, where the kernel is located, schemes for laying out the filesystem, etc. It should be fairly basic information. Thanks for any advice.

I re-configged my ethernet cards and modified sysconfig for them - and it worked. I also am not firewalling, I'm using 10.0.0.0 as my local net. I've done this on 2.1.5 and 2.2-BETA. No static routing is required, unless you're trying to forward packets (which I can't because of the bogus network...) Please send me dmesg output of the configuration info for the two cards, and the results of 'netstat -nr', before you add the static route. jb -- Prohibit work, prohibit pay - people are dying!

I'm interested in installing FreeBSD. I currently run Linux and OS/2. I've got 2 IDE drives and one scsi. I have 500meg free as a second partiton on the scsi drive. I could recover about 50meg on the first IDE drive in the form of a primary partition. Can I split the filesystem over two drives. I know I need to have the kernel on the IDE drives (assuming the same requirements as linux). I'd like to put the root partiton / on the 50meg ide partition and the remainder of the filesystem on the scsi. I made a trial install using the boot disk for 2.0.7-RELEASE. When the install get to the point of assigning "slices" or partitions, the notation is new to me. I need someone to either answer some basic question or point me to documentation which descirbes how the disk is partitioned under FreeBSD. I've very familiar with linux and its fdisk program. Also, can I control where the various filesystem components are places on the disks. As an example, under Linux I have the following: /dev/hdb3 /boot /dev/hdb5 / /dev/hdb6 /usr /dev/hdb7 /usr/src /dev/hdb8 /usr/local /dev/hdb9 /home /dev/hda12 swap partition As I said, the notation for FreeBSD is quite different and I need some help getting started.

These functions should be in libc. If the linker is not finding them, then the possibilities are: - You're using some weird linker options. - You've got a busted/incomplete/bogus libc. The ypxfr XDR routines are supposed to be in src/lib/libc/yp/xdryp.c. However they weren't always there; I think I added them between 2.0.5 and 2.1.0. This leads me to believe you may have overwritten your libc.so with one of the older versions from one of the COMPAT distributions. Alternatively, you have both versions and the linker is somehow choosing the wrong one. (Note that in 2.2 and up, most of the XDR routines are now generated on the fly using rpcgen(1).) In any case, the ypxfr code is correct otherwise the 2.1.7 release build would never have succeeded. It's up to your installation to make sure that you have the right libraries and compile/link options. -Bill From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 28 11:38:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA13932 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 11:38:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from peeper.jackson.org ([208.128.8.145]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA13927 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 11:38:30 -0800 (PST) Received: (from tom@localhost) by peeper.jackson.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) id NAA01161; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 13:34:53 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199702281934.NAA01161@peeper.jackson.org> Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 13:34:52 -0600 From: tom@peeper.jackson.org (Tom Jackson) To: ben@narcissus.ml.org (Snob Art Genre) Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Mount query References: <199702280549.XAA00400@peeper.jackson.org> X-Mailer: Mutt 0.60e-PL0 Mime-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: toj@gorilla.net In-Reply-To: ; from Snob Art Genre on Feb 27, 1997 22:19:34 -0800 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Snob Art Genre writes: > On Thu, 27 Feb 1997, Tom Jackson wrote: > > > > > Hi'all > > > > I don't remember anyone ever asking this before, but who knows. > > Two situations: one, you leave your cdrom or removable media out > > when you boot up.

The removable media is syquest cartridges of 135 and 230 mb size. I upgraded to the ezflyer but have a stack of 135 mb carts from the ez135. The problem seems to be the fact freebsd considers the syquest a hard disk (which *is* good for performance) but will not let me change the incore configuration of the carts. Was hoping there was a Magic way to change the incore config, like re-probe the drive without rebooting. thanks anyhow > > Hate to ruin my uptime stats.

If you leave off the -0.2 then it will sort starting with the second character. Position is (can be) a two part value.

Reply-To: ben@stuyts.nl Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just appended a second session to a CDR. I wrote the CDR under Win95 with Gear 4 software on a Philips CDD2600 drive. The same drive is now being used to read the CDR under FreeBSD 2.2 gamma, ctm 189. I am unable to read the second session under FreeBSD; I can only see the data from the first session. However, df shows that the disc has the correct amount of data on it. du on the mount point only shows the data for the first session. I tried mounting /dev/cd0a and /dev/cd0c. No difference. I can read the second session correctly under Win95 and WinNT. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or doesn't FreeBSD support multi-session cdrom's, or is this a bug?

As I said, the notation used Yes, absolutely. Just create a partition on that IDE drive and on the SCSI drive, then go to the label editor (or simply procede if you're running the Novice install) and assign filesystems to them. Unlike Linux, you can have multiple filesystems inside of a single partition if you like - you don't have to assign a physical partition to swap, another to root, another to /usr and so on. > thing up. Can anyone point me to some documentation which explains > FreeBSD partitioning, where the kernel is located, schemes for laying > out the filesystem, etc. It should be fairly basic information.

The PPP options file has a parameter that will generate an LCP echo request at intervals you can set. Just uncomment it and set the value you like. The options file I have selects a value of 30 se c. All you need to do is delete the '#' on that line to turn it on! This causes th e LCP process (part of PPP) to send an echo request every 30 sec, and if your provider sees it, he'll send back a packet. Keeps the line up nicely, thank you >.

Anyway, I ended up using the default MBR handler and it works just fine.

Question 2: After installing the system I created a user, me. And assigned him (me) to the group wheel. But I cannot do su or shutdown, what would be a better group choice (bin comes to mind but I wanna be sure) Thanks, Rudy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Communication, people, is the key. :-) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 28 16:18:42 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA28142 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:18:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from nyx.pr.mcs.net (nyx.pr.mcs.net [204.95.55.81]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA28133 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:18:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from nyx.pr.mcs.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nyx.pr.mcs.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id SAA03198 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 18:18:15 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199703010018.SAA03198@nyx.pr.mcs.net> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0beta 12/23/96 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: dup(2) usage question...

The real question is what do you require from an OS. If you want an OS that doesn't crash alot, is secure, and supports networking then FreeBSD will work. If you want top notch tech support and have very little skill onboard you might go with a commercial OS. If you don't want to spend much money then get an OS that is freely available. For example, FreeBSD. Try reading up on the ISP thing at www.bsdi.com. This will give you a good idea about where to get started. BSDI makes the stuff that FreeBSD is based on. OBTW, I intend to get started on the ISP thing by using FreeBSD. -- __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Thank you * Highperformance.net ) Wannabe Sysadmin * The homeless domain )-------( Jason Wells * "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" \_____/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 28 16:42:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA00469 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:42:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from obiwan.aceonline.com.au (obiwan.aceonline.com.au [203.103.90.67]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA00464 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:42:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (adrian@localhost) by obiwan.aceonline.com.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA01935; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 14:45:58 +0800 (WST) Date: Sat, 1 Mar 1997 14:45:57 +0800 (WST) From: Adrian Chadd To: Ravi Pina cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Invalid Shell Lockout In-Reply-To: <331771C1.FF6D5DF@gersh.org> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Try on the boot line: -s Will drop you into single-user mode, and yuo'll have a root shell.

I seem to recall that I just logged in as root (not su) and was able to select my shell. If you want to use a different shell you can edited /etc/shells and put the desired shell in this file. Then it will no longer be invalid. You may also try reading man su. I beleive that you can su -m without the shell being changed. This will give you your root power back. As you will be root but with the pre-existing shell. Then you can edit everything and make it right. -- __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Thank you * Highperformance.net ) Wannabe Sysadmin * The homeless domain )-------( Jason Wells * "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" \_____/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 28 16:46:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA00628 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:46:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from irc.igateway.net (root@irc.igateway.net [206.142.60.14]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA00622 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:46:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from unf.mich.net (pm295-04.dialip.mich.net [198.110.144.198]) by irc.igateway.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA01828 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 18:46:24 -0600 Date: Sat, 28 Jun 1997 15:44:36 -0400 (EDT) From: "Bill (hack) Fumerola" X-Sender: hack@unf.mich.net To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Login errors Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just after I had installed AccelX I got an error while trying to login to one of my virtual terminals ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/lib/libskey.so.2.0" and I've noticed considerable "lag times" when the system doesn't respond for a second or two. help. :> - Bill Fumerola (hack@irc.igateway.net hack@acid.org) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 28 16:48:43 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA00700 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:48:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA00695 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:48:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA18800; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:48:15 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 16:48:15 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre Reply-To: Snob Art Genre To: RGireyev@BellInd.com cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Post installation stuff 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 Fri, 28 Feb 1997 RGireyev@BellInd.com wrote: > Hi! > > I have a success story and a couple of questions. > > I have been able to successfully install 2.1.7 on a > 5x86 120, 16M RAM, 850HD.

Use wheel for a user that you want to have super-user priveleges. Use a group of your own creation for the other users. I use group "user" myself.

I'm in the middle of installing FBSD2.1.7 now. I have WINNT installed on my machine. FBSD is going on a second drive. The installation steps have been as follows: 1. Using WINNT I have downloaded the floppies, bin, info, manpages and doc. 2. Running rawrite2 from WINNT I created the boot and fixit floppies. 3. Copied the distribution tarballs to 1.44M floppies. Some care is required with the placement of the inf files. This was explained in the freebsd-questions mail in the last two weeks. I want backups on floppy just in case I want to do a re-install. 4. New IDE drive was installed. FBSD 2.1.7 was installed with absolutely no problems. 5. After reading various manual pages, FBSD was configured for my own personal preferences. User PPP setup to dial my ISP. Does linux have a similar package?? I wish I could use something similar for DEBIAN. 6. GMAKE, MTOOLS, POPCLIENT and PINE ports compiled and installed. 7. Currently FTPing XFREE and reading my mail. Total install time so far 6 hours including download time. I have installed previous versions of FBSD, but FBSD had enough new features to require me to printout the install.txt file and carefully read it. I am impressed by how easy and quick it is to install FBSD. The main thing is not to do any install step until I clearly understand what is going to happen. > It would be nice if there were easy to use instructions how to install > from a DOS partition, especially the packages. > > Maybe sample configuration files for ftp in FreeBSD, or just WHERE to > put packages in DOS so that the installation will actually find them. > Some foresight is require during the installation. You must note the drive and partition names down when defining the partitions at the start of installation. Personally I am wary of trying to install from a DOS partition. If I do something wrong maybe there is a chance I will cook the partition and lose all the files I have downloaded. > How do you expect any sane (oxymoron) Windows-user to WANT to migrate > to Unix under these circumstances? > > Rather than learning anything, I feel that I'm working in the dark, > even reading the handbook. > > WHY ISN'T A SIMPLE HTML BROWSER INCLUDED SO THAT ONE CAN READ THE > DOCUMENTATION? > You can get a text version to read with VI.

Installing X requires knowledge of your hardware. But I am no expert and everything seems to be going OK. You must read the documentation and map out an installation plan. Curious about the mouse.

Do you expect free software to compete against an installation procedure which cost millions of dollars to construct? FBSD is not microsoft.

The "1 disk with practically everything" philosophy is excellent, and being able to muck about with driver params on startup is even better. Linux *CAN* do this, but only using a "ramdisk" style root fs to boot up from, with which you load the required modules from, then kill it and continue booting normally. To be honest, sure it saves some memory space, but its not like getting a machine with a decent amount of RAM is very expensive these days. In short, if you don't like FreeBSD's setup, go and try something else. Adrian.

I currently have a single 28.8 unlimited time dial-up to my ISP with a single IP#. I am wanting to hook up a two computer LAN (10base-t), with a FreeBSD box as my Mailhub, router, etc and a Windows95 box as my desktop machine (Windows really sucks when it comes to server software.. :) ). The problme is, I need to use the internet on both machines (Server software only on the FreeBSD box however). I would much rather have NAT set up than try to convince my ISP to allocate 2 ip#'s for me... (hard enough getting one..)

System stayed up 4 hours and didn't make it out of single user this evening. This time it didn't see the SCSI drive (the original problem was squarely tagged on the IDE drive.) Disks were spinning up and down even as I removed the case. Wiggled power connectors and eventually they stayed spinning but I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling that I found the specific problem. Started a dump of my filesystems. Checked back 5 hours later and it was still OK. Wonderfull. I hate problems like this.

This question is a FAQ in here. Look in /etc/rc - you'll see the following: # Make shared lib searching a little faster. Leave /usr/lib first if you # add your own entries or you may come to grief. if [ -x /sbin/ldconfig ]; then _LDC=/usr/lib if [ -d /usr/lib/compat ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/lib/compat" ; fi if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X11R6/lib" ; fi if [ -d /usr/X386/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X386/lib" ; fi if [ -d /usr/local/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/local/lib" ; fi echo 'setting ldconfig path:' ${_LDC} ldconfig ${_LDC} fi You can either add your directory to this list, or you can create a little /usr/local/etc/rc.d/foo.sh file which does nothing more than: #!/bin/sh ldconfig -m /compat/lib [This is what the Modula3 port does, in fact].

The man page on this function states that you must have super user priviledges in order to envoke it as a client. Does the iruserok() function that controls client validation at the server allow rcmd to be used by clients other than the super user? If access to the rcmd() can be lowered so anobody other than the SU can use it, how would I use iruserok() to do this? Basically, I need to use the rcmd() function to execute a program on a remote server without requiring super user priviledges to do so. Can this be done?

Im not sure on this, but I would guess -bsd was compiled on BSDI 1.x, and -bsd2 was compiled on BSDI 2.x. I don't think FreeBSD 2.1.x is binary compatible with BSDI 2.x, but 2.2 is.

I believe bsd version is BSDI 1.x while bsd2 is BSDI 2.x . Just FYI, I didn't look at my -bsd version's top, but it exhibits memory consuming behavior (e.g. it gets much much slower due to swapping as it gets older and I do my usual job of opening 6 windows at once). -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 1 05:03:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA04316 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 05:03:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from holden.directone.com.au (root@quake.DirectOne.com.au [203.63.30.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA04310 for ; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 05:02:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from schu.DirectOne.com.au (schu@schu.DirectOne.com.au [203.63.30.10]) by holden.directone.com.au (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id HAA00729 for ; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 07:09:34 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <199703012009.HAA00729@holden.directone.com.au> From: "David Head" To: "questions@freebsd.org" Date: Sun, 02 Mar 97 00:03:22 Reply-To: "David Head" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: David Head's Registered PMMail 1.52 For OS/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Cyclades 32 Port Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I was wondering if any knew a reason for the Cyclades not telling mgetty that the user has hung up after they have.

For instance, go ahead and laugh, but I work on my smaller machines alot while they're running. Occasionally, the IDE cable might accidentally become partially or completely disconnected. On a FreeBSD or Linux box, it immediately displays a kernel panic and reboots...sometimes just re, and doesn't boot. On a win95 box, I generally just plug the cable back in, and test to see that windows still is able to access the drive.

I recently bought a couple of Hitachi 20 inch monitors (Model 802U) for use with my FreeBSD machines. The Image on the screen constanly flickers and I am unable to get rid of the flickering thru any of the controls on the front panel! About all I am able to with the frint panel is move the image on the screen up-down and left-right. The Manual which comes with the monitor talks about "Easy Menu" which appears to be an "on-screen" control mechanism. This "Easy Menu" doesn't show up on the screen at all!! What's more the manual has no trouble-shooting section and is very poorly written. I would appreciate it if somebody who has had similar problems with Hitachi or other monitors could give me some trouble shooting pointers. Thanks a bunch. --rohit.

I gather that they are closely related, therefore they both appear in one posting. Pointing me to the correct resource will be much appreciated. I seem to be reading in circles on the topic of terminal types and the users environment. I am a bash user. As I understand (misunderstand?) things. Please correct me if need be. tty = terminal type or terminal device. Init starts a terminal via getty for login. tty is connected (for lack of a better word) to the standard input. After login the the users login file (.profile in my case) can be used to set the terminal type. My environment is established entirely by my .profile. (I am suspicous that this is false.) If I have my keyboard plugged in that is all that is necessary for having input processed correctly. (I suspect this to be false as well.) Having said the above here are my troubles. My environment somehow changes when I start X using startx. I noticed this because my aliases that I established in my .profile no longer function. By what mechanism is my environment changed when I start X? I seem to be stumbling upon some arbitrary changes of environment. I doubt however that the change is arbitrary but is determined by some code that is unknown to me. What actions does a user perform that end up resulting in a change of environment?

A really good book on X is X User Tools (ISBN #0-56592-019-8). This book is a little out of date but I teaches you how to setup X resources and other stuff about some of the more popular X window managers. You might check with your local book store if there is a more current version. It's been very helpful for me. I hope this helps.

A good way to get vt100 from the console is to run screen, which is in the ports collection under "misc".

If the shell is a login shell, .bash_profile or (if that doesn't exist) .profile is read. 2. If the shell is not a login shell, .bashrc (if it exists) is read. For that reason, you want to set up your environment in one of the following ways: 1. If you wish to preserve login shell behavior for all xterms, simply run them with the -ls option. This won't help in all shell startup situations, but it will fix your desktop. 2. Have your .bash_profile include your .bashrc explicitly and put all your aliases and stuff in the .bashrc. #2 is the approach I use, and the only thing in my .bash_profile is this: # Do login-shell specific things, like change tty settings, here # ... # . $HOME/.bashrc Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 1 19:57:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA19100 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 19:57:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeep.ti.com (news.ti.com [192.94.94.33]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA19093 for ; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 19:57:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from lesol1.dseg.ti.com ([157.170.147.17]) by gatekeep.ti.com (8.6.13) with ESMTP id VAA19442 for ; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 21:57:18 -0600 Received: from sc10.dseg.ti.com (sc10.dseg.ti.com [172.25.34.214]) by lesol1.dseg.ti.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id VAA00476 for ; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 21:57:18 -0600 Received: from localhost by sc10.dseg.ti.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA18477; Sat, 1 Mar 97 22:00:09 CST Date: Sat, 1 Mar 1997 22:00:09 -0600 (CST) From: Terry Eck To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Read Error on booting In-Reply-To: <18800.857269181@time.cdrom.com> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just finished installing FreeBSD and when rebooting I get and error "Read Error" and the computer halts.

That way changing versions can be done by asking about it during install, or simply after system install... -Crh Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@msu.edu http://pilot.msu.edu/~henrich From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 1 21:39:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA22602 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 21:39:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA22596 for ; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 21:39:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA01317; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 21:37:42 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 1 Mar 1997 21:37:42 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: Charles Henrich cc: tomdean@ix.netcom.com, freebsd-questions@FREEBSD.org Subject: Re: math libs?

I finally got the correct sources from the stable tree tonight, and pkg_add seems to be fixed, but my problems with xemacs continues. Using the -n option with pkg_add, I got these errors: xemacs-19.14 depends on 'jpeg-6a' and was not found xemacs-19.14 depends on 'png-0.89c and was not found Previously, trying to install without the -n option (after fixing pkg_add), I got these error messages plus others about directories not existing. It seems sometimes there are two or three levels in a directory tree that don't exist. I.e. where pkg_add expected to find something like /usr/lib/?1/?2/emacs, my existing directory tree doesn't even go as far as ?1. Any advice?
