Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD and I'm trying to get it connected to the Internet via PPP connection to my provider. I created the files in /etc/ppp as described in ppp.FAQ for PPP client setup. My SupraFAXmodem V.32bis is connected to COM1 (/dev/tty00). When I run /etc/ppp/pppup, I get 2 lines of ioctl error messages about "device not found" (or some such) and nothing happens. I went into kermit manually and tried to "SET LINE /dev/tty00" and got stuck, but pressing ctrl-C got me out and I was then able to CONNECT and interact with my modem. I don't have much confidence in the way I did the network part of my installation. I don't if that's causing me trouble here. One FAQ I read said to add the user login that was going to use ppp to the dialer group. I can't figure out how to set additional groups for a user beyond the one group specified in chpass. ...So I've had to do my experimentation logged in as root. Also, I've been unable to "su root" from my user login even though I created it in group 0 (wheel). Thank you.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm not a computer newbie, but I am *very* much a UN*X newbie. I've installed FreeBSD 2.0 from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM and have been trying to teach myself about it. I'm finding it very slow going (still don't have X running yet or any ordinary users defined...). I bought "UNIX Unleased" which seems a very good tutorial, but it's for another flavour of UNIX and the differences with FreeBSD (especially in admin.) are enough to retard my progress. The FreeBSD man pages are some help, but they are very dense for a newbie. What I really need is a tutorial treatment of FreeBSD, but it seems this doesn't exist. At least that's my distinct impression of the responses I received on this list a month or two ago. Recently I was in our biggest local computer book store and they have several very fat books on Linux; these books appear to be tutorials, at least to a degree. I am lead to wonder if a newbie such as me wouldn't do better with Linux than with FreeBSD, just because of the availability of these tutorial books. I wonder if I shouldn't give up on FreeBSD and go with Linux instead. What are your thoughts on this? Why are there tutorial books for Linux and apparently none for FreeBSD?

The problem is that fairly frequently a program will crash with an error caused either by hardware problems or by OS problems. The most recent example is: Mar 19 15:24:59 sir-alan /386bsd: pid 761: gcc1: uid 0: exited on signal 11 Mar 19 15:25:00 sir-alan /386bsd: sd0: oops not queued which is in ./scsi/sd.c and ocurred when compiling a new kernel. I originally thought the problem was due to an old 386 motherboard, but the problem migrated when I replaced the old board with a 486/33 ISA board. The system has a 1542B/Wren VI primary and WD1007V/SE2/Miniscribe 660MB ESDI secondary (which is why I can't easily move up to 2.0). Running with only the ESDI drive does not seem to solve the problem. There is an Archive 2150S on the SCSI controller; the HD is LUN 0 and the tape is LUN 2, which is SCO XENIX/UNIX standard. The 1542B BIOS is 3.08, an old one. The system had previously run for quite a few months with SCO XENIX, SCO UNIX, 386BSD 0.1, and FreeBSD 1.1 Release (1.1.02), which is why I wonder about this possibly being a problem in 1.1.5.1. The only possibility I'm working on now is that the controller, tape drive, or LUN assignment (FreeBSD likes LUN 6?) is the cause. This occurs with the 386BSD.GENERICAH kernel, also. This is obviously of historical interest only, but...

Give mgetty+sendfax a try. handles direct serial, modems, fax, and voicemail. Also can route the login to the proper places [uucp, fido, login, whatever]. getty is fine for the console, but I find this to be much better for everything else.

I would suggest using the gdb from -current, it compiles "out-of-the-box" and has some additional functionality like attach/detach and kernel debugging. It's in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb on freefall.cdrom.com. If you really want to use ups then grab the ups port from ftp.cdrom.com: /pub/FreeBSD/incoming/ups-port.tgz. This has patches to stock gdb-4.13 to support FreeBSD (but the new features from gdb-current aren't supported). ups won't work with the gdb from -current because it would require massive munging of the perl scripts to get it to work and no-one has considered it important enough to do this. If you want to do this, then you're more than welcome to do so :) Gary J.

It's broken enough already. I used these patches (by John Mackin) in 1.1.5 and in 2.x to fix the handling of sense errors. Without these patches, the driver happily reads and writes to nonexistent media and beyond EOF on tapes (as if from and to /dev/zero).

First let me let you know I am using FreeBSD 2.0. I have been having a few difficulties establishing a PPP Connection. I have succesfully connected to my service prodiver where they assigned me a dynamically allocated IP address. I'm supposed to have a set IP Address. I do have that address and when I try to establish a link using it I get errors from the PPPD application. Dynamic IP allocation Link to Service providers Local Annex: I use Kermit to connect then invoke my PPPD with the following command line: /etc/ppp/pppd /dev/cua00 19200 and the "options" file is set up as follows ------------------------------------------- crtscts # Hardware flow control modem noipdefault passive :130.234.12.2 # local ip must be different from one # you assigned to the ethernet ( or other ) # interface on your machine. # remote IP is ip address that will be # assigned to the remote machine domain foo.com # your domain defaultroute With this I can establish a PPP conection and remotely via the Internet log into an established FTP site on that UN*X box. The problem is when I try to establish a link to a telephone number that has been set a side for my Host connection. On there end they have a modem hooked to a netblazer and it is set up specifically for a PPP connection. Here is how I've been attemptimg to connect to them: I have a dial up script that works fine using kermit. The problem is after I run the following command line: /etc/ppp/pppd /dev/cua00 19200 and the "options" file is set up as follows ------------------------------------------- crtscts #enables hardware to flow modem #modem control line passive #wait for LCP packets domain foo.com # your domain 145.0.123.45:145.0.123.2 # local ip must be different from one # you assigned to the ethernet ( or other ) # interface on your machine. # remote IP is ip address that will be # assigned to the remote machine defaultroute After this is envoked I get the following screen output: Mar 16 09:00:42 hostname pppd[112]:ppd 2.1.2 started by root, uid 0 Mar 16 09:00:42 hostname pppd[113]:Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua00 Mar 16 09:00:42 hostname pppd[112]:LCP: timeout Sending Config-Request The next result is either it reboots my machine or terminating the connection. One other note I would like to add that confuses this even more for me is that when I contacted my servive provider they informed me, after testing, that everything on their end was set up correctly. So I guess it has to be something on my end. Help, please. * note, I've changed the refrenced IP address from the two option files. So if you reconize them don't worry, they are not the actual ones I'm trying to use to set this thing up. ------------------------------------------ | Michael Caughey. | | mcaughey@infi.net | | running FreeBSD 2.0! | ------------------------------------------ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 20 06:01:02 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id GAA26219 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 20 Mar 1995 06:01:02 -0800 Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de [139.30.40.28]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA26213 for ; Mon, 20 Mar 1995 06:00:58 -0800 Received: (uphya001@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.6.8/8.3) id OAA17293; Mon, 20 Mar 1995 14:58:14 +0100 Date: Mon, 20 Mar 1995 14:58:14 +0100 From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199503201358.OAA17293@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> X-Face: nLQGe[[K51[{{[C\,BiQm[7]u1m{N>_\%nLBo4t@)CoZ}hK[W7DwX&V=}Wf#Qb,j:Jpj[(12r=b~:dYmh]fDf\, ]_frt6eM won't work!

Every so often, my machine hangs over night. I have traced it down to relaynews. The process runs for a while and then sits there. A couple locks(LOCK and LOCKinput) are there. At the early stage, logins are accepted but not later. When I can login, I cd to my news control directory. If I do a ls, it never comes back. As root, I do reboot, I receive something like syncing filesystem .... 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 give up and of course, the next boot complains the demounting. Does this have anything to do with my min configuration? I have 4M. I noticed whenever relaynews stopped, the next raw news files was 500K. Or it is because of my cnews package? I got it from utoronto and make it out of box. Anyone has a better port? Any pointers appreciated.

Bill: A tutorial book requires either someone very, very pendantic who is willing to reinstall several times, OR it requires a new user to sit down and write a journal of everything they do. Both of these require picking several disk and network configurations in common, as well as installation sets based on what the user wants to end up doing with the machine. Technical book writing takes a minimum of 2600 hours for a book, especially where a technical inaccuracy can spell disaster. The only reasonable book would be a collaboration of 3-4 people to both ensure adequate hardware coverage and to get the book out in 3 months or less -- well, get it to the publisher, anyway -- so that the material is not dated. I own "The Linux Bible" and one Linux tutorial style book that I forget its name. Both books contain extremely dated material. The other Linux books I have seen have all been perfunctory -- not enough depth to cover anything that changes majorly from release to release. Finally, one should consider the research nature of both Linux and NetBSD/FreeBSD. This means a quickly moving target. The only chance for non-dated material for more than a 3 month period is if the interfaces are locked down and become static. In my opinion, there is sufficiently large amounts of work on basic install and administration (and new hardware being released all the time) to make the book not worth the time of a single author. I'd bet that without an agreement-based lockdown between NetBSD and FreeBSD groups, you would either have to get lock-down on both and involve 6 authors instead of 4, or you would have to forget one platform or the other. To give some idea of scale to the project: 2600 hours is 8 hours a day for 325 days -- a 1 1/4 man year full time job.

No throwing out a box already paid for. 3)Regular service provision -- shell accounts, SLIP, PPP. Possible news-server. WWW server a must (but that's easy). So, here's the hardware to start out with: DX2/66 EISA w/32M RAM adaptec 1742 or buslogic equiv boca 16 port I/O card attached to 16 14.4 modem lines couple gig of disk space spread across three disks, giving a few hundred M of swap. Cheapo vid card + monitor -- I've already got a good X station. 16bit ethernet card for LAN out to bridge, be it ISDN or frame relay fractional T1. In this configuration, everything is done on this box. Would it be interrupted to death by the Boca board? I would suspect that it would, either then or if another was added. So, when the user base grew out enough to warrant more simul users, move to two machines: One machine acting as terminal server, with multiple I/O cards. Hack on login / rlogin so that PPP / SLIP sessions are handled locally, while shell users, when successfully validated, get transparently forwarded to the compute server with the lowest load -- simple if only one compute server is online. Makes adding more CPU power to the configuration not too hard. Now, YP would help out keeping a single threaded user database big time. Any reasons why our new YP server functionality won't do the trick in this case? When it comes to having multiple compute CPU's, and the clients are delivered one or another due to load balancing, being able to have that user see their files transparently would be a big plus. Unfortunately, NFS seems scary to be put in such an environment due to security reasons. Excluding IP spoofing, could NFS be set up in such a manner to be fairly confident in not allowing rouge mounts? Would a FreeBSD box as terminal server make sense, or would you just put up the extra cash for an Annex? Gaping holes in plan? Possible use would be to link up Western North Carolina into something like what Blacksburg, VA has -- a virtual community. Either that or what nando.net has created (check out http://www.nando.net/ if you've not been there already).
