I use :

ps -aux

and get:

Hi,

I know this is not a FreeBSD question but I thought I might find an answer
here.
Does anyone know how to unauthorize a user from the CGI? That would set the
$ENV{REMOTE_USER} variable back to null and cause it to re-request
authorization?

Thank you,
Randy Katz

Hello,

I wonder if anyone of you have tried any of the following scsi
controllers (none of them are listed in the supported hardware list of
the freebsd handbook pdf file):

- Inition 940 PCI SCSI-U
- Adaptec AVA1505 SCSI
- Adaptec AHA2902 PCI SCSI

If so, what success did you have? (I'd like to know it due to financial
reasons, because these parts are a lot cheaper than those in the
supported items list). I am planning to use FreeBSD 3.2.

Thank you,.

Istvan

I don't remember your original question, but staircase effect rings a bell:
This is the problem with the line termination. Windows uses carriage return and
line feed, Unix only line feed. It seems your printer is configured for Windows
and does not return to the beginning of the new line after it receives the line
feed character. As far as i know there are two solutions: use some kind of
filter to get the missing cr character inserted or change the setting of your
printer.

I have a number of questions I've been building up...

1) I have a 2.2.8 box on which I've tried two nics: a generic
NE2000-compatible PCI (ed1) and a 3com 3c509 ISA (ep0).  For comparison, I
transferred 600M of files to another machine on the network (the only
other one up right now, in fact).  It took half an hour with the PCI.
(Average of 333 KB/s.)  With the 3Com, I didn't let it finish because it
was giving me transfer rates of 30K/sec!!!  Anybody know why I'm getting
such slow performance out of the 3com?  Are all ISA nics this slow?  For
that matter, how much bandwidth can one expect a card to use in general?
What prevents getting the full 10MB?  Buffer delays?

2) Is there any particular difference in performance between an internal
modem and an external, provided the serial port has a 16550A UART?

3) What's the current status of FreeBSD's USB support?

4) Does FreeBSD fully support 100MB Ethernet?  As of what version?

5) Should I not have crossposted this? :)

Thanks,
Dan

I guess this explains why my download speeds have been close to 
8Kb/s with the "set speed 57600" option in ppp.conf.

Thanks for the advice.

You should be able to get close to 10Mb/sec on an NE2000 if you have a
pentium200 or more..

I suspect the card doing 30KB/sec is configured for the wrong interrupt..
(check systat -vmstat to se if it's generating any interrrupts)

In case your do not remember my original question i dare to suggest you
would better stay away from the discussion because my problem have nopt
even remotedly to do with stairace effect caused by CR+LF vs.LF 
The problems are with printer but not with staircase effect i cannot
communicate with it at all.In long run i managed to force him to spit some
bytes but i got reverse staircase effect (stiarcase begins on the left
margin of a4 paper after printing about 2 letters notoriously when using
tiff format)Excuse me please my somehow irritated tone in the beginning of
the message but it was rather upsetting to read about staircase afte 3
sleeples nights :))
Excuse me once more.
Regards

Does something simmilar to Beowulf exist?Was any experiments undertaken
with clustering of fbsd boxes?Does any source of information exist?
The second question is to wheather fbsd supports encrypted filesystems
In case it does is the support included in international version of fbsd?

Well, it's a P166....  I should clarify, btw: the cards were giving me 333
and 30 kilobytes/sec, whereas ethernet is of course measured in megabits.

But - what determines the limits?  Processor and buffer, like I said?
Is there usually a difference in performance between ISA and PCI nics?

It's generating them, all right.  There is one odd thing, tho...  I'm
using ftp to do this, and there seems to be a pause after each file.  I'm
not sure what that pause is, and if it's being factored into the speed
rating.  I didn't perceive a pause with the faster nic, but then the
transfers were also going faster.

When was USB suport added to the system?  And is it actually worth using?
I don't see much reason for using USB for a keyboard, and I've also heard
that USB is flaky in general...

Hi Dan!

To quote from the LINT file (this is 3.3-STABLE):

"# Network interfaces: `cx', `ed', `el', `ep', `ie', `is', `le', `lnc'
 [snip]
 # ep: 3Com 3C509 (buggy)"

This driver is slooooow, it is a known problem. I suggest sticking with
the PCI nic for now. In general there is a difference between ISA and PCI
but not this dramatic of course and it varies from location to
location. I use a non-brand NE2000 PCI card as ed1 and I am content with
it this far although we have a high-speed LAN Internet connection here so
it
should show if there were problems. 

Cheers!

Umm... when he says `network cdrom` I think he means a cdrom
on another computer in his network, not how to get the files
on the cdrom via ftp :)

I use :

ps -aux

and get:

Has anyone tried/seen something like this on FreeBSD BOX??
I am not paranoic, I am just creating VERY public FreeBSD server, anyone
have access to the box itself
I used all my ideas like loading splash screen and setting timeout to 1
second  ;o)
the idea is to disable access to file systems by loading from fixit/other
floppy
Do not recommend me to remove FDD driver, I did it ;o)
I do have a backup ;o)
The problem is that it is too public (Da school man ;o)

Looks like you have ident enabled in /etc/inetd.conf, but you have
something listening on that port already. Do you have another ident
server running? To find out, so something like:

ben@strontium:~/tmp$ sockstat | grep 113
root     inetd      179    7 tcp    *.113                 *.*

You can see I only have inetd listening for ident, you may have
something else (it looks like you have).

Hi All,

I have an Exabyte 8200 8mm tape on my FBSD 3.3 system. When 
I try to use it I keep getting these errors. 

mt -f /dev/rsa1 status

using /dev/rst1 gives the same errors. It works fine under NT on the 
same box, and works fine when attached to my Sparc running 
Solaris 7.

Here's a dmesg if it helps

I didn't even know about the sockstat command, way cool.  :) When I do
that I get:

root     dhcpc      231  113 udp    *.*                   *.*
root     inetd      153    9 tcp    *.113                 *.*

It caught dhcpc because it's FD number was 113. But I think it may be the
culprit anyway. When I look at all the open sockets, dhcpc is taking up
too many FD's for some reason. This one looks legit:

root     dhcpc      231    6 udp    *.68                  *.*

But the others are all bound locally to *.*, there's about 200 of them. I
guess the next question is why is it doing this, and how do I stop it? 
Maybe I need to recompile it or something.

Skip the name resolution step and use the ftp server's IP address.

I want to upgrade openssl to version 0.9.4. Do I also need to remake apache
and modssl?

It shouldn't be. inetd *is* listening on port 113, so (this is going to
sound stupid) do you have two entries for ident in inetd.conf? It seems
if they are both "auth" inetd won't complain, and will just ignore the
first one, but if you have one "auth" and one "ident", you get the error
you are reporting. You should check that anyway.

Hi,

I am in a bit of a jam.  I can not seem to properly update the boot 
blocks to get /boot/loader to be the default bootstrap file.  And to make 
it even better I am doing this for someone else via ssh so when I fail I 
get to call someone else on the phone to explicitely bootstrap 
'/boot/loader', so someone else gets to share in my mistakes :^)

But back to the problem.  First thing I tried doing was trace through 
tools/tools/upgrade/doupgrade.sh and try to build a kernel and updrate 
the disklabel and boot block just how it was done there:
	# make kernel with a '-B'
	make -B depends; make -B ; make -B install
	# update the boot blocks(yes the system is using da0 not wd0)
	disklabel -B da0

That didn't seem to do anything other than install the new kernel.  I 
know this because now that someone manually booted with machine with 
'/boot/loader', ps, w and top are able to read and display proc 
information again.  Since that first attempt did not work I tried being 
more precise with disklabel:
	disklabel -B da0 -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2

Still no luck.  The last time I moved a system from a.out to elf was a 
long time ago and it was all relatively painless.  I guess the fact that 
those machines were my work and home workstations didn't hurt but even so 
I didn't think that it was going to be that much of a pain.  Does anyone 
have any ideas as to what I forgot?  Or any suggestions for something 
else that I should do or check.  Anything and everything would be greatly 
appreciated at this point.

Thanks in advance,

Ian

oh.  The drive is fully dedicated.

Well, 95% is subjective, but the fact that FreeBSD is for sure NOT the
best workstation (i.e. a place to work for a single user which is not
just administering another FreeBSD box or writing cgi scripts in perl).

The problem is that software compare clearly shifted their interests
towards Linux and almost totally ignore FreeBSD (except for those
which create server software, because that know that FreeBSD make
a perfect server). VMWare is a very goods example (read their FAQ
and you'll see that they are not even going to consider to write a FreeBSD
version), that goes to all game creators, that even goes to Star Office (if
you visit their site you won't see FreeBSD mentioned), all workstation
innovation first appear in Linux and only after awhile (if at all) it is ported
to FreeBSD (sometimes not really good, KDE for example), and so on
and so forth.

I just want to make one thing clear. IMHO FREEBSD IS THE BEST OF ALL,
but sometimes i wish i use some of the convinient stuff and not waste time
because the software i need is not ported to FreeBSD. On the other hand
Linux sometimes sucks so much that i am afraid to think about it (from selecting
a distribution to locale support).

Yup, I think it's in the initial sysinstall screens. It asks which boot
manager. There's 3 options. Install FreeBSD boot manager, leave boot
record unchanged and i can't remember the third.

Yup, and only F1 works, F3 i get a beep and nothing.

> Huh? Not sure what that is.
it's another boot manager that comes with the cd, and it's available on
the ftp mirrors aswell. Nicer than the normal FreeBSD boot manager.

> Could you show us the fdisk output? Are any of the slices "extended

yup

dos fdisk output:

Partition	Status	Type		Vol label	Mbytes	System
c:	1		PRI DOS		WIN98		4001	FAT32
	2	A	Non-DOS				3561	
	3		EXT DOS				12002
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Logical DOS Drive Information

Drv	Vol Label	Mbytes	System		Usage
d:			12002	FAT32		100%

When playing with the different options in os-bs, I tried setting the
Active partition to FreeBSD and Win98 partitions, but it didn't work.

I've done this type of setup quite a few times before, but i've never had
so many partitions when doing it...

Any help appreciated

Regards

--Rob

I hope someone may help me to build and install Miniperl.PM.

I need to have Miniperl.PM to my system, in order to install and use
Apache::DBI, but I cannot figure out how to do.

I see that minimod.pl may install Miniperl.PL, but I need to realize how:

1) build what I need;
2) copy only the needed objects to a production system.

Thanks for any help.

Like everyone says: "You can't stop the determined individual in the right
circumstances."

That said, you can do a few things:

1) See if you can secure the case
  1a) I'm guessing that buying a secure case is too expensive here.
  1b) If you can find a system the university (or a company) is tossing
    that they bought a secure case or case lock for, gut the case and
    replace it's guts with your favorites or move the lock to your case.
  1c) Last resort: Replace case screws with Torx (or other) 'security
    screws'. 'They' can get the tool at Home Depot or an auto supply, but
    it is better than Phillips or 'standard' screws on most techie pocket
    knives will usually take care of.

2) Remove the knobs on the front
  2a) If there is a 'keylock' key switch on the front, use it for reset.
  2b) If there is a reset or power-off button, disconnect it.
  2c) Set the BIOS to always-on and ignore-front-switch.
  2d> If there is a power switch on front, bypass it or superglue it on.

3) Set the BIOS to discourage tampering
  3a) Password protect the BIOS; the rest of these kinda depend on it.
    Put the password on a folded sticky note inside so you don't have to
    lose the settings if you forget. If they can read the note sealed in
    the machine,they can reset the password anyway.
  3b) Set it boot from wd0/ATAPI before fd0/floppy. If you can't, set it
    to swap the fd0/fd1 drives. Floppy still usable, but not bootable.
  3c) Disable any network or CDROM boot.

All this stuff is OS neutral for kiosks and such, the FreeBSD points are
more tricky and should cover the fact they can still reach the power cord
in the back.

Has anyone been able to make network booting work for FreeBSD? - Jy@

I know, but I believe the FTP install will look for the files at the
same location no matter if you ftp to ftp.freebsd.org or
mybox.mydom.com.

Beowulf, contrary to some popular belief, is not Linux specific. Nor
is it even a specific software package. The most of the essential
pieces you need to build a Beowulf, like PVM (pvm) and MPI (mpich),
are in the ports. Note this from a Beowulf FAQ,

"1. What's a Beowulf? [1999-05-13]

It's a kind of high-performance massively parallel computer built
primarily out of commodity hardware components, running a free-software
operating system like Linux or FreeBSD, interconnected by a private
                               ^^^^^^^
high-speed network.  It consists of a cluster of PCs or workstations
dedicated to running high-performance computing tasks.  The nodes in
the cluster don't sit on people's desks; they are dedicated to running
cluster jobs.  It is usually connected to the outside world through
only a single node."

You are going to have to search on your own for more specific info,
but it is probably out there.

As for the encrypted filesystem question, several other threads seem
to have covered that very recently.

From: "Joseph Eggly" <jeggly@glol.net>
jeggly> Our school was part of the AT&T grant program and we received an HP internet server with BSDI 2.0 as our OS.  We use it strictly for internet access, website managment, and e-mail management (through BBN Front Door).  I just picked up Walnut Creeks  Free BSD and want to know if there are going to be any problems upgrading.  Is there anything I have to do to preserve our settings during the installation of Free BSD?  Thank you for your help.
jeggly> Joe Eggly 
jeggly> Friends School In Detroit

Hello Joe,

  There are several BSD operating sytems available:

BSDI  
  http://www.bsdi.com
  According to your message, this is what you have presently installed.

FreeBSD
  http://www.FreeBSD.org
  According to your message, you recently acquired the CD-ROM for this O.S.

OpenBSD
  http://www.OpenBSD.org

NetBSD
  http://www.NetBSD.org

  All of these operating systems are based upon BSD (Berkeley Software
Distribution) Unix, but they are not exactly the same.  It is easy to
be confused about this on your first introduction to BSD systems.

  To talk about 'upgrading' BSDI 2.0 to FreeBSD 3.3 is not correct.
There is really no relationship between BSDI '2.0' and FreeBSD '3.3'.
Each group maintains their own numbering scheme.  So do not feel that
your BSDI 2.0 is "way behind" FreeBSD 3.3 just because 2 is less than 3.3

  You could, if you wanted to, replace BSDI with FreeBSD, but you would
have to be careful about backing up BSDI with particular care to
some special system files to maintain the same configuration.
I recommend that you NOT do this.

  To upgrade your BSDI system I suggest that you contact BSDI
(see the URL web address above).

  To experiment with FreeBSD I suggest that you install it on another
computer.

  All of the above mentioned BSD systems are excellent systems.
You will not go wrong by sticking with BSDI.
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD are also excellent systems.

  I am local to Detroit, and have listed my telephone number in case
you want further clarification or discussion.

Although I can't say for sure what this means, if you go to Adaptec's
website and look for info onthis card, they send you to the 152x
FAQ. The 152x are NOT currently supported in FreeBSD.

This one,

http://www.adaptec.com/support/faqs/ava2902efaq.html

I can see why it is cheap. No EEPROM, no BIOS, you can't boot from
devices on it. Only an external connector.

Hmmm... I see two sysctl knobs for that,

net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain
net.inet.udp.log_in_vain

So I am not sure if ICMP might fall through the cracks there. Anyway,
those are not getting logged for the same reason. A quick look at
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c shows that it is being logged at the
'info' level.

Well, the easiest way to get gnome working is cd /usr/ports/x11
you'll find 'gnome' 'gnomecore' and 'gnomelibs', i would make each in
reverse order.
I'm not sure if you're familliar with ports, but they make life worth living

Keep the CPU in a secure area (locked computer room, or even a closet
somewhere) and then use Cybex boxes to extend the keyboard, VGA, and mouse
out to where the terminal is to be- they can't get to any of your
components...

FYI, I've tested sendmail-8.10.0.Beta6 on FreeBSD-2.2.8.  When
compiled against the db2 libs, it fails with:

Nov  7 14:30:01 mymachine sendmail[5502]: /etc/spwd.db: Invalid argument

Which results in several lookups failing.   I don't see a workaround for it,
other than not using DB2.   Do FreeBSD-3.x and up use DB2 by default?

please set your mailer to wrap lines at 70 characters.

yes, freebsd can run on the second harddrive of your system,
however at the boot prompt you'll have to do this:

set root_disk_unit= <drive number>

if the machine has problems booting after install.

you can perminantly set that by editing files in /boot
check "man loader" after you are up and running.

Greetings everyone,

	I was wondering does anyone else here have experience running
FreeBSD with a Celeron 266 CPU?  The 266 is the one without the L2 cache
so basically it has no L2 cache at all.  We have it overclocked at 400Mhz
by using 100Mhz FSB.  Anyways, it seems like every once in awhile it would
hang for a few brief moment.  Is this because of the non-existent L2
cache?  The AMD K6-2 400 with 128 megs of RAM blows it away even doing a 
make world when this machine has 384 megs of RAM.  The K6-2 400 took 1
hour and 30 minutes to finish the make world while the Celeron 266 CPU
took 3 hours and 30 minutes.

5.0.5 is SCO Openserver. This is a FreeBSD list.

Remove files you and the system doesn't need?

Over-clocking leads to unpredictable results, your guess is as good as
ours.  If you experiance the problem when clocked normally it'd be
interesting problem to persue.

I read http://www.freebsd.org/ports/kde.html and saw that kde-1.1.2 is
mentioned.
Could someone explain to me why my FreeBSD 3.3 CD's from Walnut Creek have
only KDE-1.1.1?
There are other discrepancies too.
Thanks.

	The problem is still there even at 66Mhz bus...  Because this was
what I tried before just to verify it wasn't the overclocking that is
causing it except that the only thing I can think of is that there is no
L2 cache in the Celeron 266 which might be the problem.  To be honest, it
seems like everything since the Pentium and up has L2 cache.  Only the
Celeron's don't.

I found a situation with /usr/games/mille where the scoring does not
behave as it should under official Mille Bournes rules (I can be more
specific if anyone cares). I have a few questions:

1) Does this count as a bug?

2) Can I submit this as a problem report, or should I just contact
whoever's in charge of the FreeBSD games collection?

3) Who *is* in charge of the games collection?

Just a quickie!

I want to use GDBM_File in a perl script I'm developing. However I get
the error message "Can't locate GDBM_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains
...[anything but the path I need].... etc.)

A search reveals the location of the following directory:
/usr/src/contrib/perl5/ext/GDBM_File - which contains:
  /usr/src/contrib/perl5/ext/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.pm

Do I simply copy it to a directory on one of the @INC paths, recompile
something (surely not...) or do something else to set the value of @INC?

Thanks you for helping,

Ric

Apache tries to distribute incoming requests among a set of slaved
apache processes, for performance reasons.

Well it's not stupid because that's kind of what I had, so I'm stupid
hehe. :) I had the return error for ident requests as auth, but the ident
server itself as ident. Changed it to auth and all seems to be well.
Thanks very much. :)

If you've got no remote sites, I'd suggest that you remove the
'localhost' entry from hosts.lpd. The other thing to check for is
to see whether your local loopback interface is up. IIRC 3.3 RELEASE
has some problems with the "auto" setting.

Cheers.

According to the WinModem list it is a winmodem and as such we don't
support it. See http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/19991104a.html and search
for "Well Communication" and then for ACorp A56PIM.

Because apache spawns by default a number of child processes listening
for requests in order to provide quicker responses to it's connections.
You can set the number of processes to be spawned by default, and the
maximum number of apache's you want to be spawned under heavy www load,
in the apache config file.  Look for the MinSpareServers and
MaxSpareServers directives.

Hi,

I've got a gateway box running NATD on our internal network. How
do I find out the active IP connections to the Internet initiated
by the machines on the internal network? netstat only appears to
provide connections initiated by the gateway box itself - *excluding*
natd.

Ta.

with the fonts in Xwindows.  they all are black boxes, sort of like having a
black forground and black background.  Everything else works fine.  I have a
SIS 5598 chipset on my videocard, which worked fine with redhat 6.0.  What
is wronf and how can I fix it???

I have spent several hours looking through your ftp sites to find the
floppies "kern.flp" and "mfsroot.flp" mentioned in the installation
instructions on your web site, but I cannot find them. I intend to do a
FTP installation so I like to get the floppies from the net somewhere,
but where are they?

	So, I'm trying to fire up X11 as a non-super user, and it fires
up, gets the mouse cursor, and then dies with the following:

	System: `/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1
-R/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us_microsoft -em1 "The XKEYBOARD
keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -eml "Errors from xkbcomp
are not falat to the X server' keymap/xfree86 /var/tmp/xfree86.xkm

	Any idea what the heck's happening?  I just did a plain build
and install of it.  I'm using a plain vanilla .xinitrc  which is an
exact copy of the one from X11R6/lib/X11/xinit.

	marc.

	The following things/variables need to be set up when I start up
my system:

	PATH needs to be set
	MANPATH needs to be set
	ldconfig needs to be run

	Question:  Where is the best place to do this?  I'd rather not
do it for every single user's .login file, because that would be
annoying, and ldconfig can't be run except as su.

	However, in /etc, it's not obvious where this stuff goes.  I see
some path stuff being set up in /etc/rc, but there appears to be a
manpath.config file, although no documentation on it.  I see no place
where I'd run ldconfig.

	Any suggestions as to what would work out best for me?

	Thanks!

	marc.

That's normal for Apache. It forks children before it needs them to
reduce overhead when serving requests (or something like that). You should
notice that they're all children of one master process:

ben@scientia:~$ ps jaxww | awk 'NR==1 || /httpd/'

Note the PID and PPID columns in particular, and that only one process
(pid 301 here) is a session leader.

I cvsupped ports, and according to the readme, i have E 15.5.  But the
website says 16.1 is the newest.  How can i get the most current FBSD
version?

Also, twice i have had a problem when exiting X.  I hit
ctrl.alt.backspace, and instead of exiting X, it exits and halts the
system.  Now, i know ctrl-alt-del reboots, but this is different.  And it
says : the system is halted... press any key to reboot.  Has anyone else
seen this?

Really? I've never seen this at all, and I've been using it since 2.0.

As expected.

I just tried putting my skunky old aic6360 in my brand new emachine
etower 400i3, and I get the following on boot-up (irrelevancies
removed):

	aic0 at 0x340-0x35f irq11 on isa
	aic0: aic6360, disconnection
					(so far, so good)

	(probe0:aic0:0:0:0): ccb 0xc079c400 - time out, phase 0
	...

Any recommendations (even small sample patches) appreciated.

I have installed FreeBSD 3 times now, and am becoming increasingly frustrated
by the install programme, namely the fdisk part.  I have 3 hard drives in my
machine, disk1 is Win98, disk2 is linux, and I wish to install FreeBSD on the
third.

I cannot for the life of me seem to successfully write the boot manager to my
primary drive.

This is what I wish to do:

1)	Create a BDS partition and slice on disk3
2)	Write the boot manager to disk1
3)	Continue with the install process
4)	Boot from disk1, and be able to select any one of these OS's

The problem is that the booter refuses to look at anything but disk1 and
continually panicks when it can't find a root partition on disk1 when I want
it to look on disk3!!!

Is there a way that I can edit the /boot/default/loader.conf file from the
spartan command line?

Please HELP my hair is getting thin!

Regards,

Kev.

I'm assuming I'm not the first to see this:

It appears to be GPL'd with certain exceptions however locaed at:

http://devlinux.org/namesys/


They clearly state they'd like to see it ported to different operating

my machines are all offline (i need to buy some HW and re-arrange a couple
other things) so i was thinking about installing FreeBSD on his PC.  i don't
want to use the bootloader since he whines every time something changes (he
doesn't really know what he is doind)

is it possible to grab the last couple GB of his 13GB EIDE drive and boot
from a floppy?  i don't remember if FreeBSD has this problem, but a lot of
Free UNIXes do (Linux does, but then it's crap) where the bootable area
can't be past 1GB (or something like that) on an IDE disk.  since i'll be
doing this from a boot floppy, i don't need to worry about this right?

thanks,

-wonko

Just looked through the man page for mount_nfs, and fstab, and it
appears that the ability to 'soft mount' a file system (-o soft) has been
deprecated in favor of (-s)...but how do I match that inside of
/etc/exports for boot time?

I'm trying to prove stability of FreeBSD to Windoze users, and one of the
problems that we are trying to rectify is Windows locking up when a Novell
server dies...I figured with FreeBSD/soft-mounting this wouldn't be a
problem, except that iether I'm doing the soft-mounting wrong (adding
'soft' to options in /etc/fstab), or this is a problem still with when the
network does go down?

Thanks...

i think if at the loader you type:

set root_disk_unit=3

(maybe 2?)

you'll be able to boot.

you'll want to put:
root_disk_unit="3"

in your /boot/loader.conf

I think you're looking for 'intr', soft will hang for a while then timeout
with an error, 'intr' allows you to kill/^C programs the wedge on NFS.

Actually, 100% of the computers at work that I've switched away from
Windoze have gone to FreeBSD...I sit the prospective "switchee" down and
explain to them that I'm going to be installing FreeBSD for them, and
that, when finished, they tell me what they need to do that they could do
before and we find solutions for them...

FreeBSD, IMHO, is no worse then Linux for a single user platform, and,
since its *my* workstation of choice, its better for the end-user as i'm
more apt to care if they are having problems.  Linux is great for those
end-users that want to install themselves and have as easy a time of it as
Windoze, but, IMHO, that is where the "greatness" ends...*shrug*

	IMHO, though, VMWare is "server software", not
workstation...*shrug*  So, by your argument, it should be ported to
FreeBSD...

	Frankly, I haven't looked at FreeMWare, but if/when someone makes
a port of it (sorry, it won't be me, zero time), then I'll gladly play
with it...would love to save  having to reboot my machine for those times
I want to play Baldur's Gate :)

ICQnix (not in ports, I don't believe), is one of the better ones I've
seen visually, but development on it, like most of the other clients,
appears to be virtually dead :(

Ahhhhh, that would be it.  Which man page should I be looking at for
available "fstab" options?  Or are the ones listed in mount_nfs under
'deprecated' still available through fstab, just not -o <option>?

I've been experiencing some interesting problems with db 1.85,
on FreeBSD 2.2.8.  We think there are some race conditions
occuring.

Of the people I've spoken with, they suggested there was a known
bug (bugs?) in 1.85 that could cause these problems.   So, I compared
the version of db.c with FreeBSD-2.2.8 and FreeBSD-3.3-STABLE, and
they are the same.

In our instance, we are running sendmail-8.9.3.  Using another program that
writes to a hash db that sendmail accesses, we've run into core dumps,
timeouts, etc.   I understand that sendmail-8.9.3 also has (had?) a problem
with keeping files open too long, etc.

I ran gdb on a *.core file that was generated recently, and the last call:

 >#3  0x1d9e in expire () at rpc.dracd.c:347
 >347                 dbp->del(dbp, &key, R_CURSOR);

to which the author responded (and I hope he doesn't mind my quoting him):

 >>>>>>>
This is the lowest-level function call within DRAC.  The earlier ones
must be within the db library, which must have been compiled without
symbols included.  So, the Bus error occurs within the db library
code.  It could be a bug in the db library, or could be a result of
unexpected data passed to it.
<<<<<<<<

That's the best debugging info I can thus far provide (not being a kernel 
hacker or
coder myself).

I'm wondering if someone else has seen this problem and if there is a fix 
or solution?

Will FreeBSD-4.x be DB2 based?


Thanks!

Hiya folks,

I have installed FreeBSD 3.2-Release and set partitions as the following:=

/       :50MB
<swap>  :130MB "Since I have 64MB SDRAM"
/usr    :The rest of my 6.4GB Hard Drive

My question: Is it correct to set /var  as the following way:
#mkdir /usr/var
#ln -s /usr/var /var

Thank you in advance for your early reply!

Sincerely,
Fawaz Talal

natd and ipfw have been runing just fine for me until I tried to do the
following:

I have my outside interface wich gets its address via DHCP on ed0.
I have my inside interface set to 192.168.a.b

and another machine on that same subnet 192.168.a.c


I need to get port 80 from the outside to 192.168.a.c 80 I've been playing
with ipfw but nothing seems to work. Perhaps I'm doing somehting stupid...

Here's what I've tried:

ipfw add fwd 192.168.a.c,80 from any to any
ipfw add fwd 192.168.a.c,80 from any to any 80
ipfw add fwd 192.168.a.c,80 from any to any 80 via out_interface
ipfw add fwd 192.168.a.c from any to any 80
ipfw add fwd 192.168.a.c from any to any 80 via out_interface

I've also used 'ipfw add X fwd ...' to place the entries before and after
the natd divert and around other rule chinks that could cause a problem.

I've made sure my old rules weren't conflicting with the new ones while
testing (by rebooting, or placing them earlier)

I'm out of ideas so I figured I'd ask you guys :)

Thanks
-Steve

I have several users behind a FreeBSD 3.2/ipfilter firewall/gateway.  Are
there any packages or ports to limit the maximum bandwidth that can be

Sounds like an interrupt problem.  Verify that all interrupts on the box
are accounted for and non-conflicting.

There are a few cases where the card and driver realize high latency but
in general the performance isn't bad.  I would suspect that
misconfiguration accounts for a large number of problems.

I have a ThinkPad 380/2635 and I'll be damned if I can get the
built-in serial port to do anything for me.

I'm running FreeBSD-3.3-PAO, and have sio configured like this:

  device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq 4 vector siointr
  device sio1 at isa? disable port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3

I've also tried

  device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq 4

which made no difference to how the port didn't work. dmesg shows:

  sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa
  sio0: type 16550A

I have a Xircom REM56G-100 pcmcia adapter which functions very well as a
modem, appearing on sio1.

I found a few old messages from someone else complaining that the
ThinkPad uart lies dormant until awoken by some nasty proprietary
IBM win98 driver, which clearly I'm not running here. I am hoping
that this is not the case, and there is some magic I can do to
make everything better.

I don't suppose anybody else has a ThinkPad 380 working well under
FreeBDS 3.3, and can share some tips with me?

Also, I was wondering -- does PAO buy me anything on a TP380? Or would
regular 3.3 work just fine? PCIC on this machine reports itself as
"Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PC-Card Controller".

I was coplaining at the FreeBSDcon about my sio being broken, but
if you look long enough on IBM's website you'll find MS-DOG
binaries to toggle on/off the serial port instead of the infrared
device.

OK, tried a bit more self-help this morning - but came unglued :(

I read up on various documents for installing perl modules. Here's what
I did & what I got:

$ cd /usr/src/contrib/perl5/ext/GDBM_File
$ perl Makefile.PL
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgdbm
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm
Writing Makefile for GDBM_File

$make
mkdir blib

cp GDBM_File.pm blib/lib/GDBM_File.pm
Autosplitting ...<snip>

GDBM_File.xs:5: gdbm.h: No such file or directory
*** Error Code 1

Stop.

Where to go / what to do next?

It is since 1 year am I Sending messages to this newsgroup asking help for
make ARLA working on FreeBSD.
The  port does not compile, and I Am trying to find someone who could
make the arla port work on FreeBSD and configure it succesfully.
Is possible that noone in the FreeBSD world uses arla ??
thanks

Rick

Good pointer. Herewith instructions.

1. Download this:

  ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles/uttpfdos.exe

2. Run that executable on a DOS machine; it will extract a bunch
of programs, which you can copy to a bootable DOS floppy. Boot
your ThinkPad using this floppy.

The important program is "ps.exe". Beware -- it's extremely
ugly. This is what I did to turn on the serial port on my 380/2635;
YMMV. Note the general strategy is to turn off the IR adapter, and
then turn on the serial adapter. My 380 doesn't even have an IR
adapter, but that doesn't seem to matter.

3. Type: ps2 ir disable

I got "Restart the system for changes to take effect". Don't
restart yet, though.

4. Type: ps2 sera enable

You can restart now. For me, everything magically started working.

If this doesn't work for you, and you need to perform additional
ps2.exe shenanigans, "ps2 ?" and "ps2 ? <command>" are your friends.

Presumably, your machines are all connected using a hub? If so, it's
really just a case of configuring your FreeBSD machine's ethernet
interface with the correct IP address and you're set. The /etc/rc.conf
options you want to set are:

	hostname
	network_interfaces
	ifconfig_??0

The options should be described in the rc.conf manpage.

If you want to use your FreeBSD box as a dial-up gateway for your LAN,
then you need to look at the PPP primers, available with a bit of
hunting in the documentation section of the FreeBSD web page:

	http://www.freebsd.org/

If you're trying to do something else, you should really explain your
network layout and your objective more accurately and we may be able to
help. :-)

Later,
Sheldon.

I think you forgot to ask your question. What's the problem? What was
the "it" that stopped, which computer rebooted and what are you trying
to do that isn't working? :-)

Either you don't have the gdbm port installed or your Makefile.PL
doesn't know to look for it in /usr/local/ instead of /usr .

It sounds like you're using the word subdirectory when what you really
mean is environment variable.

If so, don't rely on USER, since it's less likely to be present than the
POSIX equivalent, LOGNAME.

Note that FreeBSD's login(1) sets both LOGNAME and USER. Perhaps you're
logging into your machine using some other method which doesn't set the
variables as expected?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

If you always boot from floppy, you won't have a problem, so long as
your kernel fits on the floppy.

Yes. The webpages describe the _current_ state of the ports tree.

Certainly.  The commit logs for the port indicate that the port was
updated to 1.1.2 on 1999/09/18, _after_ the release was cut.

The ports tree is updated in an ongoing fashion.  If you're interested
in the latest ports, check out http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ .

None of which we can help you with unless you describe them. :-)

That depends. :-)

If the FreeBSD's mille scores differently from several other versions
from other vendors (particularly NetBSD and OpenBSD), then probably.

Even if every other vendor's mille(6) used the same scoring as
FreeBSD's, you might get some interest if you worked up a patch for a
"strict scoring mode".

Yes, but I'm pretty sure that it'll go unnoticed unless it's sent with
patches. :-)

Gawd, ask all the difficult questions, why don't you.

I don't think anyone takes full responsibility for the FreeBSD games
collection.  Odd, given how religious people get when you talk about
removing it from the base system. :-)

Thats pretty obvious when I think about it.

More of the same really. Enlightenment was another example. Nothing too
serious.
I had to make a decision between another Linux distro or FreeBSD. Since FBSD
seemed pretty recent I went with that.
Thanks for the answers.

hi, 

I think that IDE disks are ok for workstations but when you want a fast
server, SCSI is right solution.

If you're familiar with Linux, then FreeBSD's ports mechanism can seem
inconvenient at first.  If this applies to you, keep in mind that you
can download updated packages and install them very much like RedHat
Linux's RPM's.  For the i386, you'd get them from

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/

or a mirror near you. :-)

Package filenames always end in .tgz and are installed with the
pkd_add(1) command.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

It has aliviated itself.I managed to goet some bytes out of printer.Bath
me in your applaudisments:)).However,on very how strange way at least for
me.with lpc up all :)).It looks rather strange for me,though.I understood
from reading of lpc(8) that up and start|enable functions are identical
to be precise up is identical with combination of start and enable but
as already said up rules start|enable sucks.So the first question:
1)Is it a bug or a feature with up vs. start|enable?
The second question has to do as i guess with apsfilter.I got REVERSE
staircase effect while printing files in TIFF format(e.g. man pages)
on bj canon 200. So the question is:
2)Does someone know how to deal with it?
The third question is about magicfilter
3)Does anyone has experience with setting up of magicfilter(particullary
writing of this file with magic bytes on magic places)and setting of
printcap so it could work with magicfilter?Would you genrally advice usage
of magicfilter?
Any additional questions are welcome.
Regards
Ariel Burbaickij

Hi all,

I am having some problem with the Berkeley Packet Filter. I was trying to 
get nmap (which was mentioned in the FreeBSD Security How-To)to work. I have 
made changes to the kernel by including the following:

    pseudo-device bpfilter 4
    options       PPP_FILTER

I have also created the 4 device in /dev (bpf0 -3). However, when I run the 
new kernel, nmap still prompt me to compile the kernel with bpf. Is there 
something that I have not done? Thanks.

Regards
Just another one of those Newbie

locate locale |grep '^/usr/src'

I'm not sure what you mean by "the locale info", so that's as specific
an answer as I can give you. :-)

Ciao,

Two thoughts come to mind.

1.  After making the kernel, did you install it?  You may
want to check that it is installed.

2.  How did you "make" the devices?  If you did not use
the MAKEDEV script or manually use makenod, then all you did
was to create subdirectories in /dev with the bpf names.

Hello,
	I have been running Mailman 1.0 for awhile on a Linux machine and am in 
the process of moving it over to FreeBSD. But every time I receive a email 
with mailman on FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE python seems to go zombie and no mail is 
sent to the other list members until I kill -9 the zombie process. Does 
anyone know what is happening?

	I am running qmail on FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE and the python 1.5.2 port. For 
those of you who are not aware, mailman is a GNU mailing list manager 
available at http://www.list.org. I believe this to be a python on FreeBSD 
problem am not certain.


	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	from,
		Matthew Enger

Are you using hostnames, or IP addresses, for your DNS server?  You
need to be using IP addresses.

I don't have an install machine here any more, so I'm doing this from
memory.  Bear with me if it's not exactly accurate.  ;)

Can you alt-f4 to get a prompt?  If so, see if you can ping your ISPs
nameserver.  Let us know the results.

Michael

Sheldon, thanks for your reply.

Tried installing the port but the error message when running the perl
script is just the same:
"Can't locate GDBM_File.pm in @INC..."

Here's how I installed the port (edited down):

installed the ports collection from the CDROM (3 of 4)
$ cd /usr/ports/databases/gdbm
$ make
>> attempting to fetch from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gdbm/.
Receiving ...etc...
===> Extracting ...
===> Patching...
===> Applying FreeBSD patches....
===> Configuring...
===> Building...
<big snip>
$ make install
===> Installing for gdbm-1.7.3
===> gdbm is already installed ...etc...

$ make deinstall
===> Deinstalling ...

$ make reinstall
===> Installing for ...
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Compressing...
===> Registering installation...

So I guess the installation finally went OK! So why might perl not be
able to locate this module? Clearly it's still not in @INC's path.

Regards,
Ric

ps the ports tree in /usr/ports is slowing down searches on the system.
Can it be trimmed down or uninstalled or just deleted?

Good question Mark.

This output has been produced by the `mailq' (1) command, and it gives a
summary of the queued mail that is awaiting delivery. So, why is there just
this one piece of mail, every night?

The daily output run is fired off from cron. If you have a look at the
/etc/crontab file, you'll see that the daily administration run is fired
off with the command:

	periodic daily 2>&1 | sendmail root

So....  the mail queue entry that you are seeing in your daily output is the
mail that is being generated by the daily run (!).

To test this, try the following from the command line (enter in the commands
prefixed with the '$' prompt; sample output is shown):

$  mailq
Mail queue is empty

$ ( echo foo ; sleep 15 ) | sendmail root  &
[1] 9246
		 Mail Queue (1 request)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------
WAA09246* (no control file)

$ mailq
Mail queue is empty


Hopefully you'll be able to convince yourself that the mail queue entry
reported by the daily admin. run is just the output of that admin run!


Have fun,

Hi!

I just bought a new 36 GB disk to our 3.3-RELEASE server. After
adding the disk I started to get the following errors. If I
disconnect the disk, everything is ok. Any ideas what's wrong?

Otherwise the disk apprear to function without any problems, i.e.
no other log entries can be seen. The SCSI controller is NCR 875
and its BIOS was updated today.

Thanks. I want to find the info about how to implement locale on FreeBSD, so 
I want to look at the source.

It's a Catch-22...

What you're seeing in the mail queue is the very same 'daily run output'
report you're reading, but sendmail can't mail it until the dailies finish
running; so when the report is generated, it sees itself in the queue.

There was a discussion on the freemware mailing list.  There is somebody
there that was going to work on it, but he wanted to wait until some of
the basics got laid down.

Yes, this has been checked. Matter of fact, I got two more sets of
motherboards, memory, and cpu's. All exhibit the problem.

CPU: AMD K62/450
Motherboard: Baby AT ASUS P5A-B w/Aladin chipset
Memory: 128mb PC100 (various manufacturers)

The problem remains. Set everything for 450mhz and a custom kernel build
generates cc1 catching signal 4. Set the clock back to 300mhz and everything
runs ok.

PLEASE - any ideas????? I have no idea where to look....

Hi there,
I want to make a full release, that includes
all distributions: src, man, doc, ports, etc...
and I have few questions:
Q1: I want to put more than one kernel on the CD
say : GENERIC, MYKERNEL, MINIMAL etc,,
I have to edit the /usr/src/release/Makefile
and put their names, but where exactly ?
KERNELCONFIG: ?
KERNEL?:


Q2: I want to add the ports collection, including
ALL the available /usr/ports/distfiles/*, and
/usr/ports/packages/*

actually 2 questions here, how to do that ?
and is it possible to make the 'make release'
go and fetch any dependency or ports tar.gz
if not available locally, how to do that.

Q3: I want to include XFree86 Distribution,
I already have the X11 3.3.5 source targeez
how to do that ?
and is it possible to include any config files.

Q4: I want to include my current /etc/*
setup files so I dont have to that each time
and start from scratch. how to do that

The general idea, is to have any number of CDs
that will install a Complete FreeBSD installation
and will optionally be used to restore any lost
config files from /etc or Xfree86
and maintain SAME, machine name, dns setup, fstab
and complete set of DOCs, WWWs, and anything else
I want on the  CD.  IS THAT POSSIBLE.

sounds like a custom FreeBSD CD, but will be 
great to know excatly how this great system
really works.
thanks in advance.

Hello!

        Has anyone tried to boot DOS from FreeBSD server on a diskless
      PC with Novell RPL bootrom?

        I have downloaded Linux' RPLD but seems like it doesn't work.
      Right now all diskless clients boots from Novell 3.11 server,
      which I want to replace with FreeBSD one.

Best regards,
 Wlad                      mailto:wlad@relline.ru

  I have recently subscribed to the 'cvs-all' mailing list.
It is interesting, and I can see it will be useful.

  I understand that there are two branches of development for FreeBSD:
-Current and -Stable.

  In looking at a message to 'cvs-all' how can I determine to which
branch, -Current or -Stable,  a file has been committed?

I am having problems with a NCR/Symbios 53c875 controller, configured as
ncr0 in my kernel.  This is on a 3.3-stable machine.  The problem occurs
when "large" amounts of data are being written, or deleted from either da0
or da1, my two scsi drives.  They are barracuda 4.5gig drives.  The system
goes into a userspace hang and the error respawns every 5 seconds or so on
ttyv0 and in /var/log/messages, here is the message...

/kernel: ncr0 queue is empty

It causes the system to become unusable, anyone with any idea how to fix
this please let me know.  

Thanks in advance

Does that mean my /etc/fstab entry of:
    toaster-5:/users        /users   	nfs     rw,-s 	
isn't really doing a soft mount?

I never really had any big problems with the ep driver, I have a few on
those cards in "production" machines right now on 2Mbit connections to the
net, and as far as I can tell - they work flawlessly.

No, it probably is, however 'intr' mounts are better imo,
they let you kill programs that hang on dead NFS mounts.

Some people like a combination of soft+intr, that way system
programs eventually get an error instead of piling up on a
dead mountpoint.

Try renaming the file?

Also, please configure your mailer to wrap lines at 70 characters.

If people don't remember your original question, it's not surprising.
This list sees several hundred messages a day; what's so special about
yours that we should remember it?  I don't remember it either.

It appears that you want help from this list.  If so, you'll get it
for free.  Do your part: remind people of the salient aspects of your
problem.

If before sending you realise that your tone was inappropriate, you
can change the text :-)

You might like to read http://www.lemis.com/questions.html, which

I noticed a very odd entry in my daily run output,

Disk status:
Filesystem          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/fd0c                1407     -786     2081   -61%    /mnt

Anyone have an idea what that is all about? I mean, I am familiar with
going to >100% capacity and what that means, but negative usage?

# uname -mrs
FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386

I even unmounted and remounted it. Still get that. Ideas how to fix?
Will this cause me any problems (I have seen none so far)? Thanks.

Well, Let me make this clear. IMHO
Server OS MUST
1) BE Reliable
2) Comply to all aplicable standards

Workstation MUST
1) BE VERSATILE
2) be reliable

At least, that is what i need from a server and
from a workstation. As a server FreeBSD is absolitely
GREAT, but as a workstation it is not enough versatile.
It is a problem not only for FreeBSD, but for all Un*x systems,
however, it is clear to me that Linux is MORE versatile, but LESS
reliable. Again, because of the original support from software
creators.

You say, that you have happily "ported" a buch of user to FreeBSD.
Well, i am glad to hear that, but it is hardly possible for me. I still
need Windows  because
    1) I need adobe photoshop (not GIMP, i need PHOTOSHOP, besides,
        wile working in KDE loading the libs for GIMP and the loading
        the libs for Netscape is just a waste of memory).
    2) I need ulead web and graphics utilities
    3) I need Microsoft office (yes, i just need it, because the people i work
        with use it and i must stay compatible)
    4) Sometimes I like to play games, i kinda start to get bored playing
        games in VICE and XZX :)
    5) Sometimes i need normal russian language support (ispell is
        pityful)

If i had the same package for FreeBSD i will gladly format all my HDDs with
Winbloze, but i hardly have a choice.

Well, basically what i am saying is that FreeBSD still has a long way to go
be become a good workstation for anyone. Mostly because amount of
workstation software made for FreeBSD or which ported fort FreeBSD is
not very impressive comparing to software made for Win/Mac and it is
even less comparing to Linux.

I cannot be wrong here. I think it should be clear to anyone.

hi all,
Our hospital is using some patient monitoring
hardware, things like, Marquette Solar 2000, 
Ohmeda Anaesthesia Machines, etc.

Most, if not all, of these machines have their
supporting software 'a propriety of the
manifacturer', to display stuff like,

ECG (EKG for North Am), Pulse Oximetry,
Automated Blood Pressure, etc. on a monitor.

They all have SERIAL PORT communication.
My question, is it possible to find some software
to get these values, and curves out of these
machines, and display/save/interpret them on 
a FreeBSD machine ?

Anyone from HP, Marquette, Ohmeda out there can
help ?

Anyone overthere has seen or heard anything of
this nature please email me.

thanks.

There's more detail in vinum(8):

   DRIVE LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
     vinum drives are currently BSD disk partitions.  They must be of type
     vinum in order to avoid overwriting data used for other purposes.  Use
     disklabel -e to edit a partition type definition.  The following display
     shows a typical partition layout as shown by disklabel:

     8 partitions:
     #        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
       a:    81920   344064    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.  240*- 297*)
       b:   262144    81920      swap                        # (Cyl.   57*- 240*)
       c:  4226725        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 2955*)
       e:    81920        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0 - 57*)
       f:  1900000   425984    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.  297*- 1626*)
       g:  1900741  2325984     vinum        0     0     0   # (Cyl. 1626*- 2955*)

     In this example, partition g may be used as a vinum partition.  Parti-
     tions a, e and f may be used as UFS file systems or ccd partitions.  Par-
     tition b is a swap partition, and partition c represents the whole disk
     and should not be used for any other purpose.

This was added relatively recently, and may not be in your version of
the man page.

Hi there! My /etc/profile contains the following line that applies to the
Bash-prompt (with out the quotes, of course...):
"PS1=">>>\u@\h [\W]\$"'


According to the manpage for Bash, the escape sequence ' \$  ' should make my
prompt ' # ' if effective UID is 0 (zero)...well, it is as root, but what  _I_
get as a prompt when being root, is the " $ " as is common for the other users.
My /etc/profile is _not_ overridden in any ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile, or any of
the other possible variations on this theme...I use /etc/profile, plain and
simple.

You scratch my back, 'n' I'll scratch yours!

/Fredrik, Stockholm

Now I can su, but not use reboot or halt...
Does anybody know what the problem is?
The reboot command GID is wheel, and so is halt's...

What threading support there is/will (possibly) be available under

I find FreeBSD very versatile, not that I like to be disagreeable, but I
find it possible to do almost anything with FreeBSD.  The only thing
that I have not found yet is software to replace frontpage, and
accounting software that I have fallen in love with.

Have you looked at Staroffice?  I very recently submitted a port for it.

The ONLY thing that I use windoze for is Frontpage.  And no, my computer
is not used as a server, I use it as a workstation.

At the moment, there is some threading available with the mysql-client
package.

Heavy, heavy discussion is taking place up in freebsd-arch about the
design of the threads scheme.  Things are settling down somewhat, and
we should have a decision just as soon as the relevant developers read
the dozens of papers they need to.  ;)

Check the freebsd-arch archives for the grisly details.

If FreeBSD doesn't have multi-threading, or not to the level many other
OSes have, how does it perform so well under loads and multitask so
smoothly?

Hello,

We are using Samba 2.0.5a on FreeBSD 3.3 stable to share printing on a Hp
laserjet 6P printer using a Jetdirect 300x lan card.  Printing works great
unfortunatly with every printjob from our NT clients we get a extra sheet
that follows every print job.  I have plowed through all the archives and
tried every tid bit of help.  

Here is my printcap:

hp6p|Hewlett Packard 6P:\
        :sh:\
        :sf:\
        :rm=63.66.225.100:\
        :sd=/var/spool/output/hp6p:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :if=/usr/local/libexec/hpif:\
        :mx#0:

I have made sure that the suppression of burst header and form feed lines
in the man are there.  

Here is my smb.conf line:

[hp6p]
        comment = Hewlett Packard 6P
        path = /var/spool/samba
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        print ok = Yes 
        print command = lpr -rh -P%p %s
        printer name = hp6p 
        oplocks = No 
        share modes = No 

I also added the -h to lpr line to suppress the printing of the burst
pages.  


Unfortunatly none of these fixes have worked.  If anyone has any info
about fixing this please let me know.

Thanks

Chris

Hi,

Is there a program which can make a answering machine of a voice modem
for FreeBSD (or running in Linux mode)?
I didn't find it in the /usr/ports/comms.
Can somebody give me a pointer?

Thanx,

Please reply by CC: to me also.

Ronald.

that depends on your shell, check your shell's manpage
or be more specific.

you must execute the programs as root, however if you
include yourself in the 'operator' group you'll be
able to use shutdown as a normal user.

Our threads library is amazingly scalable, the only problem is that
it will not distribute itself over multiple processors.

starting/killing several thousand threads and context switching
between them is blindingly fast.

no, FreeBSD is an operating system onto it's own.

you'll need to install onto a seperate partition, meaning
you can have a machine that can boot _either_ NT or
FreeBSD, but there is no way to run FreeBSD under NT
except maybe with a program called "VMware"

good luck,

Not only that, but Ariel seems to have a aversion to quoting
previous messages making it almost impossible to understand what
he is asking about message to message.

This isn't to flame, but just to say that it'd difficult to keep
the jist of the problem in mind when you answer up to 20 (or more)
other questions on this list a day.

I think a fresh start outlining the problem would be a good idea,
sans the condensending tone and with some paragraph breaks.

thanks,

if you mean the API, check the pthread manpage "man pthread"

if you mean the underlying implementation, check the source
in:

It's a bit more complicated then that since -stable is 3.x and -current
is what will be 4.x, but people still commit to 2.2.x and very
occasionally to 2.1.x.

On the line in the message containing the words "Modified Files:" you
will see the branch of the tree if it is not HEAD (aka -current).  It
looks like this:

  Modified files:        (Branch: RELENG_3)

I am running FreeBSD 3.3 and am trying to install apache-jserve from the

goes well until I get these messages:

Is there someplace else that I can get the jsdk, What should I do next?

yes, right now only one thread of execution can be active in
the kernel at any given time, this is going to change RSN.

This really has very little to do with pthreads though.

Is there anyway have it give a 1 day grace period instead of 7 on old files
as well as the new ones.  I know that I can have it give grace of 1 day on
any new files that my users add but what is they have old ones there how can
I deal with that.

No all current x86 processors beyond the i386 (including the AMD Athlon).
The PII and BX chipset have been out for more then a year and 3.2 is
not must more then six months old.

I doubt it. Where things fall down are in the sound cards and modems.
You can't have a winmodem and make any of *nix's work. Some of the
sound cards can be a problem. I don't have a sound card in my FreeBSD
system and haven't fought that battle. I have a Celeron 433 in a Asus
F2B-B motherboard with a 128MB of memory. The PII and etc. is old
technology. You can look in the root directory of the CDROM and see
what hardware is supported. There are a number of text files that
cover hardware and installation.

There are some video cards that aren't supported by XFree86 but they
work in the text mode with FreeBSD just fine. I think 3.2 used XFree86
3.3.3 and it is up to 3.3.5. 

FreeBSD 3.2 installed on my system just fine. I did the novice install
and told the installation program what I wanted installed. When it
finished everything worked. I replaced the slow CDROM after that
because it took so long.

Check your hardware against the list and then check out the tutorial
information on the CDROM and http://www.freebsd.org. You can't have
too much information but starting an install with insufficient
information can be rough.

Good luck,

Kent

RSN - Real Soon Now?

Also, wouldn't this create bottlenecks when different processes have to
wait for a single kernel thread to finish?  I think Solaris has
multithreaded kernel support, IIRC.  I just find it so interesting that
FBSD multitasks and context switches so efficiently and smoothly, and
handles such heavy loads, yet the kernel is only single  threaded.  I just
wondered how that was possible.  It's certainly a credit to the developers
!  Frankly, if it works so well, you have to wonder if stability will be
lost finding bugs in the new version if it has multi-threaded kernel
support.  He, you can't make an omlette w/o breaking some eggs, right?

There was some discussion of this a few weeks ago.  Someone argued that
there is a bug in our lpd which may be true.  There is a workaround
though.  If you telnet to the printer you can disable the banner page
with the "banner" option.  Other administrative methods such as JetAdmin
may also work.

Unfortunatly the banner sheet is disabled.  This is probably an lpd
problem.  It does not seem to even notice the -h option.  Very peculiar.
Anyone else have any ideas??

Thanks

Do you have the separator page turned off in NT?

I know within the bash shell it would be as such:

The "$?" varaible prints the exit status of the last command run.
Either a "1" or "0".

yes.

yup part of the problem is determining where exactly to lock, how
to lock? spin? mutex? context switch? and how fine grained we want
to do it.

currenlt there is some locking support for long term exclusion such
as in the FS code, and TCP/IP stack, the problem is that the code
doesn't expect anything to be fiddling with kernel structures while
it's executing, it only expects that to happen if it potentially 
tsleeps, or it has asserted an spl level to protect itself from device
interrupts messing with variables.

The current BSD kernel locking model is quite effecient, solaris has all
this fine grained locking that kills performance until you go 8-way
SMP because not only are they finely grained with locking, they also
support pre-emption of kernel threads.  It's a nice feature but a
nightmare for performance because of all the additional locking and
retrys that must be done.

I think the direction we will head is fine grained locking but without
preemption of kernel threads, but that's still up for discussion.

We don't plan on breaking anything. :)

Hi,

I have been trying to install the X-distribution for 3.3-Release
unsuccessfully for the past couple of weeks.  The entire system instalok
except for X - when I try to run XF86Setup I get the error "Command not
found" and there is no directory under /usr for X.

I have tried installing it the following ways:

1.  from a CD I created from the latest ISO image:
   - ran a "Novice" installation
   - chose the "X-Developer" distribution
   - chose the appropriate X servers, fonts, etc,
   - the installation completed without setting up X.
     Upon reboot, I discoverd that X wasn't installed at all.

2.  From /stand/sysinstall:
   - chose "Configure"
   - chose "Distributions"
   - selected "XFree86"
   - again, selected all of the appropriate servers, fonts, etc.
   - chose the installation media (cdrom this time)
   - the screen blinks, then I get bounced back to the main Configure
     menu.

3.  From /stand/sysinstall (again - I figured at this point there was a
problem with the CD)
   - same steps as Step 2, but chose FTP as the installation media.
   - the result was the same.

4.  After messing about with many different things, I tried a fresh
installation, this time via FTP.  I made sure to choose the "X-Developer"
distribution.  The result was the same as in step 1.

I am giving up on the sysinstall utility for installing X -it obviously
isn't going to work for me, so it looks like I'm stuck installing it from
the ports collection - but can anyone offer any ideas as to why this is
happening?  Am I the only one to have this problem?

Thanks in advance,


- M -

 So the trouble is with printer.
 Description of trouble 
 First of all,yes i have maanged to bring him so far as to
 spit out some bytes.But on rather strange manner:i brought
 it up with lpc up lp,previously it was not possible for me
 to get it working with lpc start|enable all.As far as
 understood it from man pages though,the function
 of start|enable and up is rather identical.So
 the question #1:
 1)Is it a bug or a feature?What is the
 expected way?What is the difference between
 up and enable.
 Yet to statemnet about just few bytes.
 I use apsfilter and programm claims
 that it could handle TIFF format but i got reverse staircase
 effect while trying to print out some man pages.So question
 #2 is:
 How can i handle reverse staircase effect in this particular
 case?
 And last part is about magicfilter:Do any example files
 exist with all this magic bytes on magic places?
 Will magicfilter work with noPS printers?
 What further problems can arise while installing magicfilter?
 
 
 
 
 As to flame part of messages of Mrs Lehey and Perelman :))
 


 It is nothing so expecial about my messages we are all
 equal here as well as elsewhere,save maybe the fact
 that two troubles i had with fbsd so far  resulted from 
 1)Book of Mr Lehey(see archives for july-august)
 2)Rather "misleading" i quote one guy from mailing list
 concept of sysinstall's Upgrade.
 First of all i would like to say that your criticizm
 is accepted but maybe i would react somehow faster
 on errors caused not in last part by me.
 As to my alleged aversion to quote no i have not such
 kind of aversion but as already said yes i was somehow
 irritated by this surely well-minded very general hold suggestions
 started with the statement:"I do not remeber your problem."
 So i hope we are over with this surely not tremendously
 tries somehow to mend each other.
 
 Best Regards
 
 Ariel Burbaickij

Well, no, it looks like a communications problem.  Several people have
told you about the problem, and you're ignoring it.

Well, first of all you should describe your problem.

I saw no flames, certainly none from my wife.

Why should I?  If you have a problem, describe it here.  Don't expect
people to go looking on your behalf.

Also, attacking the people (even "one guy") doesn't make people more
likely to want to help you.

Anyway, we're not all equal.  In any one case, some want answers and
some have answers.  That's a real difference.

I'm not sure that I parse this sentence.   If by "last" you mean
"least", be sure that the errors are very much your own.

Your "alleged" aversion to quote previous texts continues.  If you're
irritated by people not remembering your problem, maybe you should
investigate the causes, or at least consider statements of the cause
by other people.

> So i hope we are over with this surely not tremendously tries

Sorry, I don't understand this sentence at all.

In any case, you appear not to have read
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.  As stated there, it's
everybody's choice whether to answer a question or not.  I've told you
what I see as the problem.  You've chosen to ignore it.  You may still
find some kind-hearted soul who is prepared to help you, but you're
not doing anything to improve your chances.

hello!

I have a atapi cd-rw and use burndata when
I burn. I have also a cd-reader and my question
is: is it possible to burn a cd from the cd-reader
to my cd-rw directly ? (I think I saw something
about that in the list archives, but can't find it now =(

   Hello folks,

   I'm trying to install from 3.3-install.iso burned to a disc and keep running
into the same problem where the system hangs while trying to detect devices on
the SCSI chain.  This is on a PIII/450 on a SuperMicro P6DBE motherboard w/
256MB of RAM and an IDE based CDRom. After the kernel detection output I get:

"Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI decides to settle"

and then I see a blue screen and the words "scanning for devices (this could 
take a while...)" while in the second pseudo-terminal I get:

da0: at ahc0 bus0 target0 lun0
da0: <IBM DNES-309170Y SA30> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da0: 3.300MB/s transfers, Tagged Queueing Enabled
da0: 8748MB (17910240 512 byte sectors: 355H 63s/t 1115c)

at this point the system just sits there for an unreasonable amount of time. 
I've left it to sit for almost a good hour, so I think it's actually hung 
while trying to scan the SCSI bus for some reason.

   I've tried removing ancillary cards like the 3C905 and 905B network
adapters, an extra 128MB of stick RAM (because I saw that suggested in a news
posts while searching deja), and turning off parity SCSI in the SCSI bios to no
avail. The goal is to get the OS installed and have the machine drive a
Chapparal based RAID... (and it actually did detect the RAID, but I removed the
unit to see if that might help resolve this detection issue.)

   Is anyone else having these kinds of problems installing FreeBSD on such a 
system?

Thanks for any help,
--Maynard

it seems 'start' will start lpd, while 'enable' will only
enable queing on the printer, it assumes you already have
lpd running.

This is odd, manpages aren't in TIFF format.

I think it would be great if you could provide us with your
printcap file so we can see exactly what's going on.

I'm sorry, i have no experiance with that program, I usually

I don't think you understand, we are trying to help you, there
are limits to what you can expect a volunteer to do,
telling us to search the archives for your message is just
asking too much.

If you refered to a url that contained your message then that
would be easy enough for anyone to look up.  The last time
I searched the archives and responded based on that you
flamed me for it, why?  I don't know, I _thought_ it was
the mail you were talking about but of course I couldn't be
sure.

The above two numbered items are what I was complainging about
I do not know what you are talking about because you don't
provide any references to what #1 and #2 refer to.

yes, not enough space.

try this command sequence:

du -kx /usr | sort -n | more

(substitute less for more if you have it installed)

that ought to help you find the disk hogging files.

also, please set your mailer to wrap lines longer than 70 characters.

DSL customers have one big problem not shared by those who run
dialup, ISDN or leased-line connectivity: typically they do
not get to set up a packet filter on their line. I have been
setting up FreeBSD machines as filtering bridges with great
success. I have written an article on how to do this. It
is available at http://www.freebsd.org/~nsayer/ (look down
in the section about filtering bridges for the link).

Somewhere during 'make install' for gnome, it hung during 'registering pkg
info'.  Well, i waited and
waited, nothing happened.  So i hit ctrl-C.  Well, gnome won't work (big
surprise).  I tried to reinstall, it said i have to deinstall first.  When
i try this, it says /var/db/pkg has no +CONTENTS.  Sure enough, everyh
other pkg has CONTENTS, except this last one, gnome.  I tried looking in
the pkg directory in the ports tree, but apparently CONTENTS is built
during the install.  How can i uninstall enough to reinstall, or force the
reinstall?  Also, to start gnome, i include 'panel &' in my .xinitrc,
correct?

make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER

maybe:

make reinstall  -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER

Hello, 
I am currently trying to set up vinum to do RAID-5 with FreeBSD 3.3. I
think I am taking the correct steps but when I finally go to create the
volume the vinum manager reports there is no space availabe on the
individual disks. Here is the error I am talking about:

Does anybody see anything wrong?

Hi there,

We're attempting to do some tests for a potential rollout of a new
service, and we really want to use FreeBSD with FC-AL storage.  We checked
the hardware compatibility lists, and decided to go with a QLogic QLC-2200
PCI Fibre Channel controller.   The card has been installed, and the BIOS
works just fine.  However, when we attempt to boot from the 3.3-RELEASE
CD, the kernel recognizes the card during the device probe, but hangs with
the following message:

...
Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
isp0: Firmware State Config Wait -> Loss Of Sync
...

At this point, my only choice is to reboot.

Our hardware profile:

Tyan Thunderbolt (S1837) ATX motherboard
768MB RAM
Onboard Adaptec AIC-7896 dual-channel U2W SCSI controller
Seagate boot disk (ST39103LW, 9GB) on channel B, ID 0
Qlogic ISP2200 PCI card

If I remove the Qlogic 2200 card, the machine boots gracefully.

Is my only choice here to boot with some sort of Fibre Channel disk
attached?  Ours have not arrived yet, so I can't test whether or not the
kernel will finish loading if the card is connected to a loop.

I have FreeBSD 3.3 Release and I use 'tip -9600 cuaa0b' to console into my Cisco
Catalyst switches.  Alternatively, I could use Hyperterminal on Windows 95/98/NT
if I wanted to.  

My problem is that when I want to exit from Tip I can't.  I'm stuck!  I have
to CTRL+ALT+DEL and reboot..whatta pain.  The man page says ~^D so I took that
as SHIFT ` (which equals the ~ sign) and then CTRL-D.  Doesn't work..any ideas?

Hmmm...
Well, it still hang at that point... unless i *really* need to wait for
it.. there is no disk activity.. this makes no sense.  It *does* do the
reinstall, but still hangs during 'registration'.

please tell your mailer to wrap lines at 70 characters (starting to feel like 
a broken record at this point)

ok, try "~." then enter, and try it a few times and give it a few seconds.

How long have you left it?

'make install' on x11/gnome can certainly take a while, as it wanders
through its dependency lists, adding itself to +REQUIRED_BY in the
relevant /var/db/pkg/* directories.

Depending on other factors (memory, softupdates, etc.) a considerable
chunk of this work may be carried out without disk activity per se.

For reference:

	anaconda 628# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
	anaconda 629# time make install
	...
	13.567u 14.845s 0:25.76 110.2%  156+300k 0+10io 0pf+0w

25 seconds wall clock.  This is on a dual Xeon/400, 512Mb,
SCSI disks + softupdates with a few local bsd.port.mk modifications.

Hello from a newbie.
I have configured FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE with kernel ppp and succesfully
connected to my ISP.
I am using an /etc/ppp/chat-script file which contains my username and
password.
In order to dialup as a non-root user I must have my chat-script
permissions as 440.
Is this safe?
I am sure that my ISP uses CHAP or PAP, but when I try to dialup with an
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets I cannot connect (I get a
connect script failed message).
Thanks

Matt

It can be a lot more than that. It can be any value from 0 to 255
inclusive, although as you say zero and one are probably the most common
(since they correspond to the EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE constants,
respectively).

Note that if $? is greater than 128, it *might* mean that the process was
terminated by signal ($? - 128), e.g.

ben@strontium:~/work/ifonline$ sleep 20
^C
ben@strontium:~/work/ifonline$ echo $?
130

130 - 128 = 2, which corresponds to SIGINT, delivered by me pressing
ctrl-C.  This 128+sig business is just a convention used by shells
though and cannot really be relied on.

I don't see anything wrong.  If you use up all the drive, nothing is
left.

You did read the caveats about RAID-5 and 3.3, and also the known bugs
list, didn't you?

Let me just get this straight:
All the packages that were available for the time of my version's release are
on the CD's, but not necessarily the tarballs required to build the ports?

I tried to port lynx, and put all the even remotely lynx-looking tarballs into
/usr/ports/distfiles/ , and then switched directory to /usr/ports/www/lynx/ and
did 'make', but it still tried to fetch the tarball by ftp, and since my
ppp-connection wasn't up, it failed. What have _I_ failed to understand?

/Fredrik

Hi,

I am running an nfsd dameon on my win 95 and winNt boxes.
I want to mount these partitions on my freebsd box.

They are obviously all hooked up in a network.

I can do this mfine in Linux but when I try in freebsd I get this message.

NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered
                                             

I do have portmap and nfs daemon and client enabled.

Can anyone tell me what this means.

Thanks
Rick

I am using cdrecord to burn some cd's, 
I have 2 cdroms and a cd-rw installed,
1 cdrom is a 24 speed generic the other is
a BTC 40 speed. 

if I use the 40 speed cdrom to read from
the input buffer empties and the cd writing
fails but if i use the 24 speed to read from
everything is fine.

I tried slowing down the writing process from
4 to 2 and that just waits longer into the write
to fail.

do you know of any issues pertaining to this?

BTW... they are IDE and the writer is SCSI 
Yamaha 6416s.

thanks for all your help, you people are the
best!
