I believe this problem to have been fixed in the -current; you can work around it in the meantime by doing a forcible `route delete -host xx.yy.zz.aa', but if your machine is busily trying to send IP to the other end when you do this, then the route will get recreated almost immediately.

First off, thanks very much for the prompt reply! I wonder if I were to add the `route delete -host xx.yy.zz.aa' to the slip shutdown script when a caller hangs up would help things? > If you look at -current in net/route.c:rtrequest(), there is some code > (and a big comment) below the `makeroute' label which attempts to > handle this case. It should patch cleanly into your system. Hmm, the route.c in 2.1.0-950726-SNAP which is what I'm already running, and the 2.1.0-951020-SNAP that I just grabbed both have the following headers, leading me to believe there are no changes between the two. * @(#)route.c 8.2 (Berkeley) 11/15/93 * $Id: route.c,v 1.23.4.1 1995/07/23 04:55:01 davidg Exp $ I guess that means it may not be fixed yet!

From reading handbook.ascii, I had made what seems to be an incorrect assumption...it states that you can use the Future Domain 8xx/950 SCSI controllers under FreeBSD. When I try to boot up with an 860, it doesn't find the card. Now, checking out the code (/sys/i386/isa/seagate.c), it only mentions the 855/950... So, I guess the question is two-fold...does the 860 work under FreeBSD as handbook.ascii seems to imply? If not, can someone make a quick change to handbook.ascii so that others aren't mistakeningly misled? I could imagine some poor soul reading that, and trying to install FreeBSD and failing miserably as a result because they made a similar assumption :( Thanks...

The bad144 and badsect man pages talk about various DEC drives, which I have, but not on my FreeBSD system ;-) The symptom I'm seeing is the system locking up in a relatively tight loop, repeatedly complaining about a timeout or error (it varies) from one of the disks (wd0 and wd1). Once this happens, nothing short of a reset will get it back. It looks like it's hitting a bad block, and refusing to believe it's bad. All kernel-based things seem to work, but nothing happens at user level (i.e., telnet gets a connection, but no prompt, caps lock light toggles, ping works, stuff like that). FWIW, I first saw this problem whenever I tried to use anything connected to an Ultrastor SCSI board while running off of the built-in IDE controller (it's a Packard Bell, and yes, I know better now). Once I took the Ultrastor out, the problem went away until about a month ago. Nothing's changed in the hardware config in at least four months, and it's been stable for at least eight months. Of course, since I have to use reset, I don't get anything useful in terms of log messages. Any suggestions would be welcome, although upgrading to 2.x would be less so (other than for this occasional difficulty, it's a stable production system). Thanks.

Basically I'm soaking a machine with HTTP requests, randomly distributed among 5000 different files so that the disk cache eventually becomes completely saturated. The first surprise was to see a big dip in the hit rate every 30 seconds - like going from 100 hits per second to about 10 per second, then back up to 100 per second. I found the place where the 'update' frequency is set. That's the first question - why is it so hard to change the frequency of update? Can I just disable it in the kernel and go back to using a specialized process in user space? Anyway, I played with the "update" frequency, first setting it 300 seconds. Instead of seeing a steady 100 hits/sec then I saw a brief initial spurt of 100 hits/sec that dropped down to a pretty steady 70 hits/second. Thinking I was still seeing some effect of the disk cache I set the update frequency to 90 seconds. Then I get a regular pattern as follows: t=0: 100 hits per second, t=20: after 20 seconds the hit rate drops to 70 hits/sec, t=20 - t=90: steady at 70 hits/sec t=90: update runs and hit rate briefly drops to 10 hits/sec t=92: hit rate is again back up to 100/sec t=115: hit rate again dips to about 70 hits/sec etc., etc. I have some nifty PostScript graphs of this if anyone is interested. So the real question is, if update is turned off, and the disk cache is not getting flushed, what causes the hit rate to drop by from 100 hits/sec to 70 hits/sec after a while? One theory is that after a while the disk cache fills up and the system must start flushing the cache to disk. But what is it writing to disk? The files have all been opened "read-only". Is it spending all of its time writing the last-accessed time in the inode?? If so it seems a terrible waste and I'll want to turn that off to make a really fast server. Any insight would be greatly welcome. -csw From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 29 18:22:09 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id SAA23903 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Oct 1995 18:22:09 -0800 Received: from homer.prahran.swin.edu.au (homer.prahran.swin.edu.au [136.186.16.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA23878 for ; Sun, 29 Oct 1995 18:21:42 -0800 Received: (from root@localhost) by homer.prahran.swin.edu.au (8.6.11/8.6.9) id NAA05420; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 13:24:01 +1100 Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 13:24:01 +1100 (EST) From: Root user on Homer To: freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: Adding IDE to SCSI System..

We've just had a similar problem. All news was being placed into the 'junk' newsgroup (in the 'log' it says the artice was junked). The problem was no 'active' file in the lib/news directory. Once youve got one of those use it to make the news directory structure. Seems to be Ok now ..... Hope this helps.

AFAIR, it's due to the data in the kernel changing whilst netstat is still doing it's bit. Normally this happens as netstat is bogged down with doing reverse name lookups in the DNS.

I don't know what OS you have on the IDE drive but you can at any time disable the IDE drive from the BIOS (CMOS) and boot FreeBSD off the SCSI disk while still seeing the IDE disk from FreeBSD. I don't know of a bootloader that allows booting from more than one controller - not sure though, if OSBS2BETA allows for this.

Generally, if you keep your /home and /usr/local on separate slices from everything else, and keep copies somewhere safe of configuration files that are in /etc and /var (and a few other places) -- the same probably applies to the X11R6 tree -- you can zap everything else and reinstall the new version from scratch; but I've never done that. ========================= Michel Joly de Lotbiniere mjdl@interlog.com ========================= From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 30 09:23:16 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id JAA01727 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 09:23:16 -0800 Received: from mail.swip.net (mail.swip.net [192.71.180.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id JAA01721 for ; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 09:23:09 -0800 Received: by mail.swip.net with UUCP (8.6.8/3.01) id SAA16719; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 18:30:19 +0100 Received: from lda.leissner.se by lda.leissner.se id aa04728; 30 Oct 95 18:23 SNT X-Sender: pol@lda X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 18:23:26 +0100 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Peter Olsson Subject: How: Multiple ip addresses for the same network interface?

Hi everyone, I'm back with more questions. Thanks to Michael Smith, Didier Derny and D.Marck for their suggestions. A week later and still no FreeBSD booting from disk. Bummer. Here's my current situation: I got rid of the "Missing OS" message somehow and installed Booteasy manually. It now allows me to select between both disks; however when I try booting of "freebsd", it returns to the F? prompt. (Better than before, but no cigar.) I disconnected my C: disk (the current DOS bootdisk) and kept just one 1Gb disk. I then attempted to do the FreeBSD installation on it (thinking maybe the problem stems from the existence of that first DOS disk, maybe FreeBSD installs better on a dedicated disk). The problem remains the same; FreeBSD just wont boot from my 1Gb disk. (I mean I tried everything thinkable around disk geometry.) OK. I discovered the alt-F4 holographic shell you can access during and after the FreeBSD installation. So I decided to use it to snoop around. I tried the "fdisk" command and it gave me a strange error message (more on this later); then I looked at "disklabel" which is supposed to be used by the installation process. [NOTE: My disk has two partitions: one for FreeBSD and the other for DOS. I use the DOS partition to store the freebsd directory files for the installation.] Observe: disklabel /dev/wd0 works OK as expected. I see all the partitions. disklabel -r /dev/wd0 gives me an error message: "Bad pack magic number (label is damaged or pack is unlabeled)" disklabel -W /dev/wd0 gives me the SAME error message as fdisk, e.g.: "ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device" Are the two errors related? Could this be why I cant boot off the disk? Is there anyone out there kind enough to let me know if I didnt format the disk correctly, or if there is some kind of problem I should be aware of? PLEASE HELP!!!! In the meanwhile, I give up; I'm going back to Doom and (sigh!)

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Well, finally got Postgres95 compiled under FreeBSD 2.0 (the OS doesn't have Shared Memory enabled in the kernel by default :< )...but now when trying to work with it, I'm getting some pretty odd behaviour. First off, it is a fully patched (official patches, that is) version of 1.0. Now, the odd behaviour: I created a "postgres" user on the system, to run things, so that it isn't keyed to anyone in particular. I installed it *as* postgres, not as root, so all the files are owned by postgres. After starting up postgres, with the postgres user, I tried to do a "psql template1", since the database is there, but I get a "Connection Failed" and "Is postmaster running at port XXXX", which it is, since I can connect to any of the other db's I've created. Now, I also did a createuser, so that I could work on a database from my own account, which worked fine. From my account, I proceeded to do a createdb, which also worked. But...destroydb is telling me I can't wipe it out, due to "no such class or insufficient privilege" (which was why I was going over to check out template1, which I believe is where that sort of info is kept?)...if I try to do it from the postgres account, I get the connection failed error about template1, and then it can't destory the database with the same error message. Without restarting the server, I tried to do a createdb on another database, and it created fine. If I try to connect to that, using psql, it gets the same error as when I tried to connect to template1 from the postgres account... ...now, I just restarted the server, and can not connect to new database again, but same thing happens if I try to connect to template1. If anyone has any ideas from the information I've given, as well as a possible fix, that would be greatly appreciated. If there is insufficient data to use, using script I've generated a file of the output of postmaster -d 3... Oh, new data. If I do "psql ", and it fails, if I try it again right after, it works... Well, don't know if this all helps much, but its, oddly enough, almost as if it needs the first invocation to "wake up" the daemon, and then its ready for the second invocation to connect...but its not consistent either. About the only consistent error that I can find is on "destroydb "...it just doesn't work, period. Since it doesn't take up much space, I'm including my script-out for when trying to do a destroydb. The script-out for trying to connect and failing won't help much...nothing is getting recorded on the failed attempts.

OK so far. >Has anybody done this and if so, what steps did you >take in order to get this to work ? Is this even >possible in this configuration (no hub) ? Yes. It works fine with two caveats. 1. You need a special crossover arrangement; Eagle electronics (in Glendale) (at least) has plugs for this or you can make up a custom cable. If you choose to make a custom cable MAKE SURE IT'S MARKED because someone will get burned later if not. (I've been there several times :-) (also, if you have coax ethernets in a video house (also been there) make sure you get the green-colored terminators rather than plain metal ones. The possibilities for screwups there are endless :-) If you're in Orange County, Marvac/Dow or Orvac *may* have these plug adapters too. (actually you can use video cable and terminators on *short* ethernet runs. Don't mix either cable or terms, though...) 2. If you take one of the machines down you'll get a console message on the other of 'unexpected interrupt'. That can (at least for DEC 21040 boards) safely be ignored. Hubs inhibit this message. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 30 10:23:25 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA07047 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 10:23:25 -0800 Received: from moon.pr.erau.edu (root@moon.pr.erau.edu [192.101.135.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id KAA07041 for ; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 10:23:23 -0800 Received: from moon.pr.erau.edu by moon.pr.erau.edu with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #16) id m0t9yrh-0001zoC; Mon, 30 Oct 95 11:23 MST Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 11:23:20 -0700 (MST) From: Stephen Waits To: Eric Primeau cc: questions@freebsd.org, lmcerpr@LMC.ericsson.se Subject: Re: ioctl DIOCWLABEL ?!?

Usually, if DOS is already on your disk somewhere, you won't have this problem -but it seems that you are. You should get 'pfdisk' from the FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools (or something like that) directory on ftp.freebsd.org. Run it from dos, and note the disk geometry. Then, when installing FreeBSD, manually set your geometry to match the geometry reported by 'pfdisk'.

(semi-related: under linux (and probably other sysV-ish systems) i can put an entry in fstab that defines the default filesystem type for a device, but doesn't force it to be mounted at boot time. this is really useful for floppies and cdroms, since the default fstype is different than for most filesystems (i.e. msdos and iso9660 respectively), but there's often no device present when the system boots. under freebsd, there appears to be no "noauto" mount option to accomplish this, which means i a) either always have to enter the fstype for a cdrom mount, or b) always have to have a CD present when booting. given that i want to start playing audio CDs, option b) doesn't work for me anymore.) paul --------------------- paul fox, pgf@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 30 12:30:58 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA14253 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 12:30:58 -0800 Received: from tfs.com (tfs.com [140.145.250.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA14247 for ; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 12:30:56 -0800 Received: from mailhub by tfs.com (smail3.1.28.1) with UUCP id m0tA0r9-0003wVC; Mon, 30 Oct 95 12:30 PST Received: from hk.super.net by tfs.com (smail3.1.28.1) with SMTP id m0t9vBT-0003vqC; Mon, 30 Oct 95 06:27 PST Received: from is3.hk.super.net (eh@is3.hk.super.net [202.14.67.36]) by hk.super.net (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id WAA07157 for ; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 22:27:12 +0800 (HKT) Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 22:27:12 +0800 (HKT) From: Eric Ho To: Julian Elischer Subject: Re: Support PCMCIA modem?

Actually, looking at it again, you _might_ be able to build a kernel that would fit on a 720K floppy, but you'd need a seperate root filesystem, and the tools to build it all.

It worked fine, and it was nice being able to just "dd" to and from the device and write shell scripts for testing. The scanner must come on line as a "processor type" for pt to work. The pt device supports only send and receive. Scanners that hook up this way have proprietary (and frequently undocumented) commands embedded in the data stream. This includes at least some of the HP scanners. You need the details of what they expect in that data stream. Since many low-end scanners have historically been sold with their own dedicated SCSI host adapters and run with DOS you have to watch out for gross behavior that is not SCSI friendly. I know, for example, that the Microtek ScanMaker-II will not disconnect even while it is moving the scan head, scanning, and sending back the data. Thus your SCSI bus will be hung for seconds. This is not exactly what you want on your BSD system. There is HP support available on the net though you'd have to track it down. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

As of CAP, it seems to be up and running for some people, but is not free from problems AND (this is the bad part:) requires a hardware(?) router (i.e. GatorBox etc...) to pack the EtherTalk packets into TCP/IP packets, or else it only runs the old "chatty" EtherTalk phase I.

At this point, FreeBSD is sending the postscript file to the printer, but the printer doesn't understand that it's a PS file. That's because lpd sends a banner page before anything else, and that banner page is *NOT* a postscript page. You need to disable the banner page on your box. Here's my printcap entry. Note the 'sh' and 'mx' entries. The 'sh' entry says not to print a banner page and the 'mx' entry tells the lpd daemon the maximum size of file to accept. Setting it to zero means there is no upper limit on the size of file accepted by the printer. lp|ps|postscript printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 31 08:37:59 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA03628 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Oct 1995 08:37:59 -0800 Received: from mail-e1a.gnn.com (mail-e1a.gnn.com [204.148.101.53]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA03618 for ; Tue, 31 Oct 1995 08:37:55 -0800 Received: from www-22-199.gnn.com.

I am considering an alternative and I'd need your opinion. After installation of FreeBSD 2.0.5, I have access to a shell and I can type unix commands, etc. (FreeBSD *is* there!) Is it possible to create a floppy disk that I could boot from? (The installation floppy works fine, except that unfortunately the kernel on it goes straight into installation mode.) So here are my 2 questions: 1) Is it possible to use my current installation floppy and somehow stop it before it goes into the installation menu yet remain in unix (which is already installed on my disk). 2) Is it possible to create a boot floppy? If yes, can you either refer me to a FAQ document explaining this or can you tell me how to: format a floppy for unix, construct a "gzip cpio file" of the kernel, etc and so forth???

What might not be normal is the rate at which the data is being sent to the printer. Can you use the interruptless mode on the driver, or mode the card to an IRQ other than 7? Either one should fix your problem for you. man lptcontrol for more information on switching to interruptless mode.

The message means that the drive couldn't find a sector that it needed, and retrying didn't help. Most likely caused by overheating causing malfunctioning of some part of the drive circuitry, or possibly thermal distortion beyond tolerance of one or more parts of the drive. If you leave the drive in its current situation, it will fail completely soon, and data written in an overheated state may possibly be unrecoverable once the drive cools again. > The machine is still up and running... should I fsck partitions > on the disk to make sure everything is ok ? Open the box and touch the disk. If it's too hot, you need extra ventilation; if possible, arrange this without powering the disk down to avoid thermal shock. ("too hot" is when you can't keep your fingers comfortably on any part of the drive for an indefinite period.) Barracudas, although less with the newer ones, are notorious for producing _lots_ of heat. You can't just mount them in a standard PC case and expect them to survive.

I don't think so. You will be offered a partition menu during the installation process. To install FreeBSD you will have to delete the extended DOS partition (F:) to free space for FreeBSD. You can also run FDISK and delete the second (extended DOS) partition before running the FreeBSD installation script. Later during the installation process you will be asked for installtion of the boot loader. Install it. You then will have the choice to boot the various partitions (Win95, FreeBSD) > > Cheers, > Andy. > --Chris Christoph P. U.

The voice doesn't have to be English-like at all -- in fact, for my purposes, a computer/robot-like voice would really sound cool. So, does anyone know of a program that can do this? I didn't really see anything on my CDROM that looked promising. I have programs for Linux, but suspect that the sound drivers (even though they're both written by the same person) are probably vastly incompatible, and porting it would be a nightmare. -- Donald Burr ** U.S. Mail: P.O.

Anyway, booted up my home machine (which has a C-labs IDE CDROM hooked up to a SoundBlaster) and watched it completely fail to find any trace of the CD :( Looking around in the config editor, I couldn't find any devices listed that claimed to be the ATAPI driver. I expected (at worst) that it would look for and fail to find my drive, but it doesn't seem to even be looking! So, am I being _incredibly stupid_ or is there something dodgy about this atapi.flp? I downloaded the file from sunsite again today and tried it on a work machine (without an IDE CDROM) with the same results. BTW, my CDROM works fine under DOS/Windows and OS/2 so I don't think hardware is at fault.

IFS is an API interface for file system implementation in Win95. It has nothing to do with boot management or not. Win95 replaces the MBR for one reason and one reason only: to let it say "Booting Windows95" instead of "Booting DOS". The only problem comes when installing Win95 on an existing FreeBSD system: it overwrites the boot manager without regard. To fix this you need to get the DOS installable version of the boot manager from the FTP site or CDROM. You must select "shutdown" from the "start" menu and then click the radio button for "reboot to DOS prompt" to have Win95 let you rewrite the MBR. Installing FreeBSD onto an empty partition of a drive containing a Win95 partition as well works fine. Windows95 does not use a different partition ID from DOS, and so it is as safe as installing FreeBSD in the same situation with a DOS instead of a Win95 partition.

As it turns out, porting Linux audio programs to FreeBSD is trivial, since, as you mentioned, they were both written by the same person. Basically you have to change the "#include " to "#include " and the rest should compile in 99% of the cases. Of course if you have an old Amiga computer lying around, it had speech synthesis software built right into the ROM which can be handy for embedded applications (boot off of floppy drive, etc)... But that's another story. :-) ---Jake From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 1 12:26:01 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA26779 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 12:26:01 -0800 Received: from access.netaxs.com (access.netaxs.com [198.69.186.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA26773 for ; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 12:25:59 -0800 Received: from unix5.netaxs.com (esr@unix5.netaxs.com [198.69.186.7]) by access.netaxs.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id PAA04982; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 15:25:47 -0500 From: Eric Raymond Received: (esr@localhost) by unix5.netaxs.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id PAA09590; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 15:25:44 -0500 Message-Id: <199511012025.PAA09590@unix5.netaxs.com> Subject: Re: ncurses 1.9.4 To: scrappy@rainbow-jr.dreaming.org (Marc G.

Independently of this problem with the boot manager, do Win95 partitions allow to be mounted as dos filesystems under FreeBSD ? It looks like not, as its FAT is the new VFAT, and knowing it for sure would help me to decide whether to install it on my home PC or not.

My friend runs FreeBSD/Win95 and seems to have no problems with either the boot manager or mounting the file system, although he sometimes gets "bad month in date field" warnings. Marc.

I set up SOCKS version 4.2 on the first FreeBSD machine so the second one can talk to the Internet. The SOCKS clients rftp, rtelnet and rfinger work fine.

They mount, but unlike other tools, the BSD msdosfs does not ignore entries with the system+hidden+volume_label bits set, which is the magic incantation. So you get some display garbage until you make a three line change in msdosfs. The non-garbage entries are perfectly usable. Unless you are planning on using VFAT as your default FS, this is "good enough that it isn't a decision breaker".

I've read just about the whole Handbook and FAQ and Install instructions and still can't figure out my problem.

The get signal 11 and core dump with a "Memory Fault" message. It's wierd but this only seems to be the behaviour after the root image is copied and decompressed. It's doing an FTP install and gets the root image ok, so ifconfig must have worked, but after that ifconfig, gunzip and others core dump. Ping works ok though. I verified all this on the ALT-F4 screen. It's on a 486 DX4-100 (AMD I think). 32 MB mem. PCI motherboard. AHA-2940 SCSI. I haven't tried disabling L2 cache anything yet. Seems alot of PC-UNIXes have trouble with L2 cache. Could that help? Also, should I be getting 2.0.5-RELEASE instead? I got the boot disk from the the FreeBSD-stable/ dir on ftp.freebsd.org.

I don't know if either will apply to 2.0.5 but you can see how it is implemented. Basically a function is added called scrub_env() and it is called at the beginning of start_login().

Date: Wed, 01 Nov 1995 21:36:37 -0500 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Peter, Some time ago (>1 year) I saw on one of the main Linux FTP sites, I think sunsite.unc.edu:pub/Linux/devel, a version of gcc instrumented to generate a database while compiling c/c++, and some query tools for the database; it was a project of some Germans, I think. They mentioned that their goal was a cscope clone. Sorry I can't be less vague. If you use (x)emacs, you might also take a look at the oobrwsr (?) package on ftp.cs.uiuc.edu:pub/xemacs/infodock. It is an C++ code browser that allows all kinds of querys, and it is integrated into the emacs editing mode for c++, so you can edit, say, all points where a particular item is used. But I've not used it. There is the xcoral editor from a group at INRIA (France), which purportedly integrates c++ structure browsing into an editor; it is an Xlib-only program too, which should make it an easy port. These suggestions are all a result of wasting time cruising the Internet, the new opium of the masses. ========================= Michel Joly de Lotbiniere mjdl@interlog.com ========================= From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 1 20:25:42 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id UAA12037 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 20:25:42 -0800 Received: from hemi.com (hemi.com [204.132.158.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA12026 for ; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 20:25:36 -0800 Received: (from mbarkah@localhost) by hemi.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id VAA02418; Wed, 1 Nov 1995 21:29:40 -0700 From: Ade Barkah Message-Id: <199511020429.VAA02418@hemi.com> Subject: Re: FreeBsd 2.0.5 installation with Windows 95 To: amengual@sadeya.cesca.es (Carlos Amengual) Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 21:29:40 -0700 (MST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: from "Carlos Amengual" at Nov 1, 95 09:58:32 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 771 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Independently of this problem with the boot manager, do Win95 partitions > allow to be mounted as dos filesystems under FreeBSD ?

The default for this in FreeBSD was recently increased to 32. It should be changed into a sysctl tunable, however.

Tries to boot from drive A (3.5" HD) Drive light goes on Drive light stays on Nothing else happens until I turn the computer off. :) My best guess is that 2.0.5 does not yet have support for this card. I noticed a series of Fut. Dom. cards that it does support, but alas, mine must not be compatible. If you can give my any idea of if/when compatibility is in the works. If this is something I should report to the BUG team, let me know as well. I don't want to bother them if I don't have to. Thanks! Best wishes!

Describe "garbage". :) Catting directly to the device won't work. The reason is that HP printers expect DOS style line termination. They can be configured for unix line termination via escape sequences sent at the start of the print job (by a filter, or printcap entry), or on some models like the deskjet, with switches on the printer. Assuming the software method, the following is a printcap I used to use. This printcap doesn't rely on any external filters. The ff line sends the escape sequence to change the line termination. The one below also sets the character width to 12cpi and adds a left margin (for punching holes or stapling) which is not strictly necessary. If you want a more detailed description, have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/printing.html. # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # # tr= Eject page at end of all jobs # mx= Maximum size of job (0 = no limit) # sh= no header page # fo= send 'form-feed' when opening device # ff= the 'form feed': Reset printer, CR=>CR, LF=CR+LF, FF=CR+FF # tr= (eject page at end of printing ?) # lp|local line printer|DeskJet 500:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/pcl:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:af=/var/log/lpr-log:\ :mx#0:tr=\033&l0H:fo:\ :ff=\033E\033&k2G\033&l0O\033(10U\033(s0u0p12h12v0s0b6t2Q\033&a10L:\ :sh:pw#80:\ -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 2 08:26:48 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA05543 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 2 Nov 1995 08:26:48 -0800 Received: from berlin.inmar-inc.com ([199.72.196.49]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id IAA05523 for ; Thu, 2 Nov 1995 08:26:35 -0800 Received: from [200.2.10.8] by berlin.inmar-inc.com with SMTP (1.38.193.5/16.2) id AA14386; Thu, 2 Nov 1995 11:26:59 -0500 Received: from Microsoft Mail (PU Serial #1468) by mail-1.inmar-inc.com (PostalUnion/SMTP(tm) v2.1.8d for Windows NT(tm)) id AA-1995Nov02.111700.1468.3763; Thu, 02 Nov 1995 11:26:57 -0500 From: dcarter@inmar-inc.com (Carter, David) To: nate@sneazy.sri.com ('nate@sneazy.sri.com') Cc: nate@trout.sri.MT.net ('nate@trout.sri.MT.net'), questions@freebsd.org ('questions@freebsd.org') Message-Id: <1995Nov02.111700.1468.3763@mail-1.inmar-inc.com> X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail via PostalUnion/SMTP for Windows NT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Organization: Inmar Enterprises Inc., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 27102 USA Date: Thu, 02 Nov 1995 11:26:57 -0500 Subject: FreeBSD, Thinkpad, and TPAD.flp Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi Nate! I wanted to say thanks for putting the above-mentioned file out on the 'net. I found it through the *BSD newsgroup archive. I'm trying to get FreeBSD 2.0.5 up on my TP 755C. Now that I have your boot disk, I get _much_ further than I did before -- but now it dies saying it can't find ROOT.flp on my DOS partition. It's right there in C:\FREEBSD. Any ideas? I'd really rather install off of CD, but I haven't had any luck getting FreeBSD to recognize the SCSI controller & CD-ROM in the TP Dock I. The controller is Future Domain; I'm not sure who made the drive. Any ideas? If all else fails, I'm probably going to track down a desktop machine to install to, and then build my own customized TPAD kernel. Can you point me to step-by-step info on how to do this? Lastly, how's the fishing out in God's country this time of year? I'm a novice trout fisherman, and get out as far west as Colorado to fish the Blue River with my father-in-law once or twice a year. I've just moved to North Carolina, and am told there is some good stream fishing up in the Appalachians, but I haven't gotten out yet. Thanks for any & all assistance you can offer! --- D.

I *think* the controller on the Dock is supported by 2.1, but I'm not sure since I don't have access to one. > If all else fails, I'm probably going to track down a desktop machine to > install to, and then build my own customized TPAD kernel. Can you point > me to step-by-step info on how to do this? You need *lots* of space. Basically, you need space for an entire distribution. See /usr/src/release/Makefile. What I did was modify the GENERIC kernel definition to use PCVT instead of syscons and then build a new release, which builds new boot floppies. This is a very long and slow process, but at the time I was desparate to get it working on my box. (Which it still is). Once I got it started, I used my ethernet card to load it. The 3C589B card is supported by FreeBSD, so it may be easier to get one of those (if you can afford it) to load the distribution. It worked for me. > Lastly, how's the fishing out in God's country this time of year?

It's slowed down pretty good a couple weeks ago when we got snow, but I'm hoping to get out at least one more time if we get a warm weekend. The Missouri is pretty fishable all but Dec.-March, so I've got another couple weeks to try and catch some more big ones. > I've just moved to > North Carolina, and am told there is some good stream fishing up in the > Appalachians, but I haven't gotten out yet. It's certainly tough to get out with life being so busy, but I find that if I don't do something I start to become less productive at work. And, since my boss is an avid fly-fisherman himself, it's pretty easy to justify taking an afternoon off every once in a while.

Microsoft Diags show the co-processor at IRQ 13.

As soon as we 'commit' and start the ftp, the system immediately 'panics' with a Page Fault. The only other relevant piece of info I could see is that when DOS boots it says (in regard to the IDE at IRQ 14) LBA Mode Active Hooking BIOS drive 80h Rerouting INT 13h for device 80h No idea is the above 13h is significant.

T he problem with Eudora is usualy not FreeBSD's fault : users usually set their RWIN, MTS, and MSS too high, such as RWIN 4096, MSS 1024 which is good for Eithernet, but not for dial-up. Try to lower down those value to , say, MTS 1006, RWIN 848, MSS 212 to get a reliable connection. Hope this helps.

Except for the program binary itself, the VSZ doesn't include mapped files. Shared libraries are mapped files. I thought about "fixing" this, but it is very complicated and probably has too much associated overhead.

It's not that I want this compiler in particular, it's just that I'm curious as to why it hasn't been included in the FreeBSD distribution. Alternatively, there's a GNU pascal compiler available, I believe. Maybe you can try using that one instead?

I have two 3C509s and a kernel configured with support for an 8 port BOCA card. The BOCA card is currently not in either of the systems. On ONE system only, when I boot that kernel I have to disable the probes of the BOCA card for the 3c509 to be found. I haven't sorted out what is going on yet, but you may try disabling things that aren't present. The systems aren't identical though the kernel is. It could be the successful probes of some cards or failing probes of others causing the 3c509 to be found. Sorry I can't be any more help than that. The BOCA card is at: > sio4 0x100 -1 -1 0x0 0 4 0xb05 Yes > sio5 0x108 -1 -1 0x0 0 5 0xb05 Yes > sio6 0x110 -1 -1 0x0 0 6 0xb05 Yes > sio7 0x118 -1 -1 0x0 0 7 0xb05 Yes > sio8 0x120 -1 -1 0x0 0 8 0xb05 Yes > sio9 0x128 -1 -1 0x0 0 9 0xb05 Yes > sio10 0x130 -1 -1 0x0 0 10 0xb05 Yes > sio11 0x138 15 -1 0x0 0 11 0xb05 Yes ... > sio4: disabled, not probed. > sio5: disabled, not probed. > sio6: disabled, not probed. > sio7: disabled, not probed. > sio8: disabled, not probed. > sio9: disabled, not probed. > sio10: disabled, not probed. > sio11: disabled, not probed. and the 3c509 is at: > ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa > ep0: aui/bnc/utp[*BNC*] address 00:a0:24:11:ad:de irq 10 -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

Please reply to this message by sending it to d_burr@ix.netcom.com Thanks. I discovered, last night, that I made a *BIG* goof when initially setting up my FreeBSD slices quite a few months ago. I discovered this when I tried running XFree86 last night, and got "insufficient memory". I checked my slice setup, and found that (ARGH!) I only allocated a 10 MB (or so) swap partition. Not enough, apparently. I really would rather not tear apart my whole drive, and have to set everything back up again. So, looking around, I found a nice Seagate 150MB IDE drive lying around. I plugged it in, and, lo and behold, IT WORKS!!! So I figure, why not use this drive for FreeBSD stuff only? I could allocate a nice 50 MB or so swap, and use the rest for archival storage, /home accounts, whatever. But, my problem is this: My computer is entirely SCSI-based. My one main hard drive is a 1.0 GB SCSI drive, driven by a Adaptec 1542CF controller. No IDE in my system whatsoever. I do, however, have a spare IDE card lying about, that I can configure via jumpers. It allows me to use either the Primary or Secondary IRQ address for IDE. Wow, hey, I heard of this, because those people who can't afford SCSI use secondary IDE to be able to squeeze 4 HD's into their computer case. Now, my problem is this: I heard that you can have both IDE and SCSI in the same system, but if you do, the computer will *ALWAYS* boot from the IDE. This is not what I want, since this would complicate things. BUT... maybe the system only tries booting from the PRIMARY IDE, and leaves the secondary (if it's even there) alone. I don't know. In fact, I don't even know if you can use a Secondary IDE drive in a system WITHOUT a PRIMARY one... I admit that I'm totally clueless about this secondary IDE business. I've never had to use it, and now that I have SCSI, I vowed never to touch IDE again in my life. But, for this, I'll make an exception. If anyone can please help me out, and answer some of my questions, I would be eternally grateful. Please contact me by EMail or whatever. PS I did look around in lots of different FAQs, but honesty could not find the answers I seek.

Takes some fiddling but there's a few ways you can work around this. If you're lucky, you can tell the bios that there are no IDE drives installed. It will then boot from the scsi disk and FreeBSD will find the IDE controller and disk from it's own probes. This should work fine for you since it's an external card. > In fact, I don't even know if you can use a Secondary IDE drive in a > system WITHOUT a PRIMARY one... Set it up as a primary. If that doesn't work (I has an on-board IDE controller on one box and the only way to disable the IDE boot was to disable the controller, FreeBSD didn't re-enable it) then an alternative is to install a BIOS boot block on the IDE drive that loads the FreeBSD boot code from the SCSI. The only time you touch the IDE is to load that initial boot block, everything else will run off the SCSI. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.

If you've already seen this and [ responded to it -PLEASE- send me another copy of your reply. I'm running 2.0.5 as a gateway machine between my LAN and the Internet. I'm using Ethernet for the LAN, and a 28.8Kb modem with iijppp for the connection to my Internet access provider. It is mostly working fine, but I am experiencing two problems. 1. The link spontainiously drops rather frequently. It isn't timeouts, and I haven't been able to determine whether the problem is at my end, their end, or with the phone line itself. This isn't a major problem since I can just set up a ping with a sixty second interval to make sure the line is re-opened if necessary. 2. After a while (several hours to a few days - averages about two days), it will get into a state where I can't make high-level connections (e.g. finger) from the gateway to outside machines. Ping and traceroute still work fine, and incomming mail/http/etc. connections still work fine, but outgoing connections just hang. Re-starting the connection, or even killing and re-starting the ppp process has no effect; the only way I've found to fix it is to re-boot.

No problem--in principle :-) I have just the same configuration. The IDE drive gets drive code 0x80 by the BIOS and is thus considered the boot drive. The SCSI drive gets drive code 0x81 by Adaptec's SCSI BIOS. When you install FreeBSD it asks you if it should install some software in the primary boot block which lets you select by function keys which partition you want to boot. I don't recall the exact wording of this question. If you reply 'yes', it will place that boot selector in both the boot block of the IDE drive and the SCSI drive. When you boot, the IDE boot sector gets loaded first. It'll give you a menu choice listing all slices of the IDE drive for boot, or the second (SCSI) hard disk. You can select the second disk by hitting F5. Now the boot sector of the SCSI disk gets loaded and presents you a new menu listing all slices of the SCSI disk. Just select the one you want and it loads the secondary loader, the one which issues the 'Boot:' prompt. To boot from the SCSI disk you need to give it a file name of 'hd(1,a)/kernel' instead of 'sd(1,a)/kernel'. You can probably make this the default by hacking the boot code in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c and reinstalling the boot block. [After taking a brief look at the code it seems to me like you'd only need to #define BOOT_HD and recompile boot.c. I haven't tried, however.] Georg-W.

Now, the first mistake was that it isn't listed anywhere in the Preparation sections of handbook.ascii, but ... it nowhere mentions that to install from floppy, you have to put the bin.* file in a /bin directory on the floppy themselves... That finally done (borrowed a friends computer for that, for by that time, my old Unix partition was gone..), and boot.flp/root.flp dd'd to disks, I tried again... Got through the install phase, and got through bin.a[a-m] before I got an error message on my screen - Write failure on transfer! (Wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes). Great, my hard drive is screwed, since it does say it is a write error, doesn't it? So, I try it again (I'm persistent...it did have 2.0 installed before, and was running fine). Same error...so I figure, okay, maybe its a problem with the distribution files, and not the hard drive...so again I popped over to my friends, and we re-downloaded that diskette...same problem. Well, I'm getting quite annoyed, and hadn't slept well the past couple of nights, to tension was running high. Figured I'd put it aside, pass out for awhile, and try again this morning. Only, this morning I put into debug mode, just in case... Now, file 13 of 60 (bin.an), when I look at the debug screen, reports: premature end of file gunzip: invalid compressed data -- format violated Part way through processing it, so it seems like the file itself is corrupt. Byte count looks right: 240640bytes... Baring that I'm short of information here, can anyone think of why this is happening? I'm currently trying to download another copy of bin.an from ftp.freebsd.org, to see if somehow the file was corrupted on downloading, while leaving the file size intact, but beyond that, I'm going to have to borrow a friends CDrom to get 2.0-RELEASE going :( Thanks...

If you or your provider are using a USRobotics Sportster modem, check the Supervisor date (ATI7), if the date is prior to 04/18/95, you have a faulty Supervisior chip which is the cause of your modem "hangups".

I have even removed an ether card, set the cyclades card to the same address and it still doesn't come up. 1) Is there a port address I need?

I had my machine running the whole time I was gone, picking up mail, news, web serving, recieving faxes and running some HEAVY time-series analysis. It worked like a charm for 23 days unattended! (205R) I believe a toast is in order, "DAMN good job, gentlemen!" (I doubt that SunOS 4.1.3 would have fared as well) I only had 2 problems: 1) I called in to check and see "Is paper comming out of the printer at around 9:30pm?". One time my girlfriend answered (no). Hmm, Is the printer on? (yes) Ok, turn the monitor on. (it wont) Hmm, are the little lights on the front of the big box on the floor on? (no) (slight panic, UPS failure? nope. Power supply died? nope. Unplugged? nope. Turns out my dog got curious and hit the power switch with his nose!!!) 2) On my return, yesterday, I found my console window had the following messages in it. Nov 2 17:05:41 oasis last message repeated 4 times Nov 2 20:16:57 oasis /kernel: file: table is full Nov 2 20:16:58 oasis last message repeated 28 times Nov 2 20:18:43 oasis last message repeated 54 times Nov 2 23:14:12 oasis /kernel: file: table is full How would I avoid this problem in the future? (The second problem that is.

(for an adaptec this is usually 64 heads, 32 sectors.. use boot: -v to see exactly what) and then allow it to automatically calculate the beginning and end sectors/cylinders/heads after just accepting the default figures for the BSD partition.

My maxusers is set for ...checking... 10 (The default I assume) Yes, I'm running INN from ports. However I dont have any active feeds. I use slurp to get my news once an hour. Matter of fact I'm running: inn, iij-ppp, httpd, httpd-proxy, nfsd, hylafax and all the regular deamons. On top of all that I've got X with fvwm, screen. Oh, on top of all that every evening for 4-5 hours my system runs some pretty intensive time-series analysis and a bunch of non-linear systems analysis and some multi-dimensional clustering algorithms. <<*** BTW, if your curious what the hell I'm doing check out my page at http://oasis.txdirect.net It's up the first 15minutes of each hour and continously from 6pm-Midnight. It's rough right now, so please excuse the mess. ***>> Did I mention I run this in 16Megs with a 48Meg swap? swap hasn't gone over 60-70%, at worst, since I gnumalloc'ed my XServer (S3) I assume your gonna suggest I up maxusers to say 20? Ok, I'll try it. However if you notice my post this system ran fine for 22 days doing the same thing over and over, then on the day I returned (what luck, no?) it started giving me this error which started 5.5 hours before I walked in the door. > > > > > > > How would I avoid this problem in the future? > > > > > > (The second problem that is.

Yeah. Hacking sendmail.cf re-writing rules is NOT nice. I've done it on a couple of occasions. The ORA sendmail book is ESSENTIAL reading if you want to go that way.

I added the dial out line to /etc/ttys as outlined in one of the faq's. A friend dialed in and got the 'login' prompt, and successfully logged in. However on the second, and following attempts, no 'login' prompt was offered. In the book "Unix System Administration Handbook" by Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass & Hein, they mention using the 'bi' option in /etc/gettytab. This is suppose to help a single modem handle both dial-in & dial-out. I haven't seen any mention of this in the getty & gettytab man pages, or in the gettytab file either. Can anyone here help me with some suggestions on this situation? Special thanks to Chuck for helping me to get the modem working in the first place.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I'm looking for either a pointer to something that will give me the answer, or a suggestions on how to find the answer... The problem is that majordomo doesn't seem to work under FreeBSD... When I first installed it (v1.93), I made the mistake of compiling wrapper to be 'non-POSIX', which means that when I ran it, I was getting error messages back in email telling me to recompile it. After recompiling, I'm getting absolutely nothing. No error messages even being sent back to the sender stating that something failed. Now, my /etc/aliases entries, I think, are pretty standard and brain dead. Not doing anything weird with it, just straight subscribe and mail-out stuff... #/etc/aliases, a piece of it majordomo: "|/usr/local/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo" owner-majordomo: scrappy majordomo-owner: scrappy # # Info List # info: :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/info owner-info:scrappy info-request: "|/usr/local/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l info" info-approval:scrappy Basically, its straight out of the majordomo README file. So, everything has the appearance of being correct. Perl is 4.036, FreeBSD is 2.0.5R, Majordomo is 1.93... So, either I'm missing something totally obvious (highly likely), or there is a bug between majordomo and freebsd (least likely)... Thanks...

(the latter wipes out the BM). To re-install it you may get one of the boot managers from the tools directory on the CD and install this from Win95 (down at the Command level) or you go back to the boot disk and try to get the boot manager written from the fdisk menu. I'm not sure if this will work though without re-doing a full install. > > --Chris Christoph P. U.

How do I get the prompt to select Windows > 95 (drive 0) or FreeBSD (drive 1)? Generally, the system tries to boot from drive 0. If you want the boot manager to come up, you will have to install said manager in the boot blocks of the drive from which you are booting. There are three choices: 1) Tell the BIOS that it must use drive 1 to start the boot. 1) Physically reverse drives 0 and 1 so that FreeBSD is on drive 0. 2) Install the boot manager on the windows drive. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 4 02:19:23 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id CAA28931 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 4 Nov 1995 02:19:23 -0800 Received: from MediaCity.com (root@easy1.mediacity.com [205.216.172.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id CAA28925 for ; Sat, 4 Nov 1995 02:19:18 -0800 Received: (from brian@localhost) by MediaCity.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id CAA10152; Sat, 4 Nov 1995 02:27:57 -0800 From: Brian Litzinger Message-Id: <199511041027.CAA10152@MediaCity.com> Subject: Re: Hello all To: kimc@w8hd.org (Kim Culhan) Date: Sat, 4 Nov 1995 02:27:57 -0800 (PST) Cc: rsnow@txdirect.net, questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: from "Kim Culhan" at Nov 3, 95 05:43:02 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8b] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 282 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk > > On Fri, 3 Nov 1995, Rob Snow wrote: > > > (I doubt that SunOS 4.1.3 would have fared as well) > > SunOs 4.1.3 can stay up forever if your applications let it.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Greetings. I've added an new IDE drive to an already-setup FreeBSD system. My computer, up until now, has used only SCSI devices. Anyway, I want to use this IDE drive for additional swap-space and to store archived files (i.e. files I don't need everyday). However, I don't know how to prepare new disks for use (i.e. partition them, carve them into "slices", and format the "slices" as either filesystem or swap). Plus, this IDE disk (since it's an old one I had lying around) may have a few (probably not that many) bad sectors on it. Obviously, I don't want the system to suddenly run into a bad sector during operation, and halt whatever it's doing and panic. So I'd like to (if possible) "lock out" the bad sectors. Anyway, how do I do the tasks I mentioned above? This drive is a older 150? MB Seagate drive. This message printed out by the kernel seems to indicate the drive's model number (ST3144AT?). ----- wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 124MB (255255 sectors), 1001 cyls, 15 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S ----- I pawed around my system and eventually ran into the "bad144" command, since this looked like what I was trying to do, I ran it using the following command, and I got this output: ----- % bad144 -sv /dev/rwd0s1 ...output deleted... bad144: /dev/rwd0s1: bad flag in bad-sector table bad144: /dev/rwd0s1: bad magic number bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=7079724, cn=27756, tn=108, sn=108 bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=7079724, cn=27756, tn=108, sn=108 bad144: bad sector file contains duplicates (sn 7079724) bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=7079724, cn=27756, tn=108, sn=108 bad144: bad sector file contains duplicates (sn 7079724) bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=7079724, cn=27756, tn=108, sn=108 [ lots of lines the same as above ] ----- This seems to have failed (?). Maybe bad144 isn't the command I need...? What other steps should I take? Do I have to (gasp!) low-level format??! (my bios doesn't have a built-in lowlevel formatter, so I would need a third-party, probably DOS-based utility, but I don't know where to obtain such a beast). Anyway, all help greatly appreciated.

What I want to do is to allow use of real ip's over telnet/rlogin using the following diagram: incoming telnet/rlogin | apollo.COSC.GOV - 198.94.103.34 (FreeBSD Box) | ppp/slip started and then somehow make the 205.167.164.0-205.167.165.0 available for the ppp/slip via telnet/rlogin. Does anyone know if this is possible and how this can be accomplished? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Someone mentioned this can be done with iijppp but can someone help me on how to get iijppp working this way?

It should patch cleanly into your system. OOPS, sorry about the comment that it wasn't fixed, I mistakenly thought that the latest SNAP was built from -current. I did get route.c from -current and have applied the patch, now I just have to wait and see if the problem goes away for good!

Send mail to mime@docserver.cac.washington.edu for more info. --0-529005433-815490019=:3865 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I am trying to port the x48-0.4.0 program to FreeBSD (it is an Hewlett Packard 48GX calculator emulator program). Everything goes smoothly until the "serial.c" file. It claims to be compatible with both BSD, SysV, and POSIX style terminal handlers, yet when I compile it, I always get the error that "CBAUD" is undefined. What is CBAUD? I have access to several workstations from Sun, DEC, etc. and they all have it, but my poor FreeBSD box doesn't -- I grepped all over the /usr/include tree, and even in the libraries, kernel source, etc. It just isn't there. For now, I put a "brutal hack" in there (trust me, you'll see it), to at least get the file to compile. And the emulator works, but (as expected) none of the serial I/O functions of it are working at this time. I'd LIKE to get them all working, of course. I've attached the offending source code file in question. Can anyone help? Thanks!

That shouldn't be necessary. There's a gotcha you have to be careful of, it's not obvious. When a user rings into your modem, the modem can send a "RING" word to the computer, telling of the incoming call. Login takes that as the username (or password, if it doesn't answer fast enough), and so the user wouldn't get the prompt they're looking for. Two things to check on: 1) setting the verbosity level, so that the modem puts out responses only on locally originating calls (ATQ2). 2) Carrier detect operates normally (dipswitch 6 == UP && AT&C1).

In ISA mode writing a zero to any address (0x1X0) in that range sets the ID port to that address and a second zero write to that address resets the ID sequence. Other values written to the ID port are processed as commands. 00 - 7f return the card to the initial state. 80 - bf read EEPROM data c0 - cf Global Reset d0 - d7 set tag register d8 - df test adaptor at tag e0 - fe activate adaptor ff activate adaptor at eeprom values In EISA machines you can disable this in favor of a slot based address at 0xSc80 - 0xSc8f and 0xS000 to 0xS00f. So, the BOCA as addressed conflicts with the 3C509 ID port. If I remember correctly (I've only had 4 hours of sleep) the ie driver also does the same ISA thing for the earler 3Com card it supports.

The doc you see is somewhat of an improvement over the original, and folks are slowly hacking it, but this isn't a FreeBSD original. In the same manner that you shouldn't expect the FreeBSD hackers to do surgery on the gcc C compiler, this is the same thing; altho, since this is much smaller, improvements are indeed happening. Auto does work, after a fashion.

I'll make the assumption that your home directory is ~blair, and you want the tar file to be named "stuff.tar". Here's the syntax: tar -cf ~blair/stuff.tar [list of files to include in tar] A very common error is the assume that the parameter that follows the -cf is the file list. As you can see, it's the name of the file that gets the output of the tar. If the whole directory is to be tarred, you can either put "*" as the file list, or cd to the parent directory and give the name of the directory to be tarred. Don't do this from your home directory, tar will assume the entire pathway from root, or some relative path, and make the unpacking operation less simple to accomplish. On some machines, this could make the tar file nearly useless. What you want is called a 'relative' tar, where only the names of the files, or (better) the name of the whole directory is in the tar file, not a whole path from root. One last note: it's a kindness to tar from the parent, getting the whole directory. That way, when it unpacks, the tar will go into a directory, and not clutter up some poor user's home directory. I get caught by this once in a while, when I don't check first how a tar will unpack. How will a tar unpack? 'tar -tvf' (or 'tar -tzvf if it's gzipped) will give you a file list. Good idea to check your tar file this way, anyways. Lots of other tar tricks, give that man page a reread when you get a little more confidence in the basic procedure. ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.

I built my system using the atapi.flp boot floppy, but unfortunately, the kernel was taken from the cdrom and does not contain this driver. If anyone knows where I can get the necessary source files, I'll try and compile them in myself. I'll send a pint of Guiness over the Internet to anyone who can help! Cheers.

I'd suggest either explaining what it is that you're trying to do, or going away and learning a few basic things. As has already been observed, you're asking a lot of really simple questions. Reading a few introductory networking books will save both you and us a lot of heartache. > -Vince- vince@COSC.GOV - GUS Mailing Lists Admin -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
