Recently my MSDOS-oriented roommate expressed an interest in using this machine for her schoolwork, so I pulled an old 80 Meg IDE disk off the shelf, plugged it in, and DOSified it. Then I started trying to get a boot manager to work. I've tried a variety of booteasy's and os-bs's with no luck. Most recently os-bs 2.0 beta 8, pulled from ftp.freebsd.org. It installs without a complaint, the installer sees both disks, correctly identifies the SCSI disk as some kind of 386BSD variant, and lets me put them on the menu. When I boot, the colorful boot menu comes up. If I select DOS, it works fine; but if I select FreeBSD, it prints a prompt asking me to select between the two with function keys. If I hit the key for FreeBSD, it prints the prompt again. If I hit the key for DOS, it boots DOS. Does anybody have a clue where the problem is here? Please cc reply to me, I don't get this mailing list.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk When I was running Linux, I had this wonderful little utility that turned my PPP connection into a "dial on demand" PPP. That is to say, I didn't always have to have the pppd online and using my telephone, but rather, when my compuer wanted to do something with the network (say, I ran my Web browser and opened up a url), the computer would say "ahh! someone needs to use the ppp" and would dial the modem and establish the ppp connection all automatically. And, when I was done with it (say, I remained "idle" and did not use any network services for X minutes) the computer would drop my ppp connection, so that it wouldn't eat up telephone charges, on-line fees, etc. when I was not doing anything with it. This was all done by a nifty program called diald. I miss this capability in FreeBSD. None of the FAQs or other documents I could find breathes a word about dial-on-demand PPP, much less ecplains how to do it. I tried porting the diald program over to FreeBSD, but it looks too Linux-specific and thus, difficult for me to port. I use the system-level PPP (ie. the ppp0 interface, and the pppd driver). I DO NOT use the user-level PPP (the one that uses the tun0 tunneling driver). So does anyone know how to set this up in FreeBSD? (I run 2.0.5-RELEASE). I'd love to start receiving netnews with my machine, and so I set up a schedule in CRON to try and fetch news every X hours, but since I only have one phone line, which I have to share with a busy/working roommate, I needless to say, can't keep the phone tied up 24 hours a day.

It is not pcvt who does the switch but the X server. The knowledge about what to do to switch from a virtual screen running an X server to a virtual screen running a character terminal and vice versa is located in the X server. Same for the data structures. Since pcvt does not know ANYTHING about the particular video mode the X server is using (and with programmable video clock generators the situation gets even more worse), it is not able to reset the video mode. It looks like the X server has a problem with your chipset/clockgenerator or your hardware has a timing problem, perhaps you should get in contact with the Xfree86 team. Just curious, what type/brand of video card do you have ? hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

You can do two things : when you boot FreeBSD, tell the BIOS there's no IDE disk, and then change it back to boot DOS, or Update the bootblocks on the SCSI disk to deal with the messy case of one IDE/one SCSI disk. Look at /sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c, the comments describe the Makefile option required fo this support.

I've been fighting this one too, and fixed it! Add the following lines to your ppp.conf (on both ends if necessary) disable lqr deny lqr iijppp will hangup the line if more than 5 echo packets are lost during the session. This is of course really easy to do if you've got an FTP going on. Disabling LQR prevents iijppp from tossing echo packets around and thus fixes that problem. The code could could definately use some work to implement a more intelligent LQR system that would perhaps reset the counter once it received a valid echo reply.

Just started playing with the PPP implementation that is in 2.0.5R, and got it most of the way towards being able to use 'ppp -auto' to do dial-on-demand, but seem to have hit a snag. Now, I've sent up the appropriate entry, as per the man page, and the example files, in /etc/ppp.conf: #/etc/ppp/ppp.conf # default: set device /dev/ttyd1 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" # iij-demand: set debug lcp set phone 3634621 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: word: " set ifaddr 199.166.238.138 198.133.36.11/24 add 0 0 HISADDR Now, all this looks right, I think, according to said documents, but when I try to ping out to start the connection, I get a No Route to host error, and it doesn't try to dial out. So...I'm assuming I'm missing something in my iij-demand entry. Anyone out there have this working, that can send me a copy of their /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file, or can explain what it looks like I'm missing?

I know that with 2.0R, I had an intermediate problem where SLIP would hang, and if I SIGINT'd the slattach process, the machine itself would hang. Haven't seen it with 2.0.5R yet, one of the reasons I upgraded, but I've only been running it for a few days now... ...the hang in that case reminded me of an error I had with multi-port serial boards running under a much older version of BSDi, where the bug had something to do with interrupt looping, or something like that. > Also, anyone know why I can't copy a new kernel into place?

What IRQ are you using? IRQ3 is common for 3com cards -BUT That is what COM2 (ttyd1) uses. Maybe they are sharing the same irq which would explain the slow response?

Could be some faulty memory perhaps [ Reg says try pushing the SIMMs in a bit more - apparently this is a common problem ] That might not be the problem though... Some of Osbornes in K1201 have been known to do that. Although that was mostly at the time when we had the Network cards being subject to interference due to the funny mother/daughter board layout. It happened after we fixed that so maybe it was something else.

Well, I had draw a diagram of what I wanted to do and it's quite simple as atleast a few people know what I am trying to do is to provide ppp to people who telnet or rlogin using a 8 bit clean connection but their accounts will be on a static ip and have a domain name assigned by me and works similar to the way SLiRP works except it will use a real ip instead of a emulated address like SLiRP which goes out as the address of my machine and not of their own ip address. I understand this can be done with iijppp but the docs are in japanese or some other foreign language and the manpage only mentions it but doesn't tell you how to set it up...

The daemons affected are those that support RFC 1408 or RFC 1572, both titled "Telnet Environment Option," running on systems that also support shared object libraries. To determine if your system is potentially vulnerable, refer to the information we have received from vendors which is summarized in Section III below; details are in Appendix A and reproduced in the CA-95:14.README file. Note that if you installed a version of David Borman's telnet package that is older than October 23, 1995, your system may be vulnerable even though it was not vulnerable as distributed by the vendor. If your vendor is not listed, you will need to determine if your system may be vulnerable. First, determine if your telnet daemon is RFC 1408/1572 compliant. One indication that it is compliant is if your telnet(1) program supports the "environ" command or your telnetd(8) program supports the ENVIRON or NEW-ENVIRON options. Unless you are certain that your telnet daemon is not RFC 1408/1572 compliant, you may wish to assume it is to be safe. Second, determine if your system supports shared libraries. To do this, consult the ld(1) manual page. If it describes dynamic or shared objects, your system probably supports shared object libraries. A system is potentially vulnerable if the telnet daemon supports RFC 1408/RFC 1572 and the system supports shared object libraries. We recommend that you follow your vendor's directions for addressing this vulnerability. Until you can install a patch, we recommend using the workaround in Appendix B below. If you have previously installed David Borman's telnet package on your system, we recommend that you obtain the current version of telnet (see Section III.C). As we receive additional information relating to this advisory, we will place it in: ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-95:14.README We encourage you to check our README files regularly for updates on advisories that relate to your site. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description Some telnet daemons support RFC 1408 or RFC 1572, both titled "Telnet Environment Option." This extension to telnet provides the ability to transfer environment variables from one system to another. If the remote or targeted system, the one to which the telnet is connecting, is running an RFC 1408/RFC 1572-compliant telnet daemon *and* the targeted system also supports shared object libraries, then it may be possible to transfer environment variables that influence the login program called by the telnet daemon. By influencing that targeted system, a user may be able to bypass the normal login and authentication scheme and may become root on that system. Users with accounts on the targeted system can exploit this vulnerability. Users without accounts on that system can also exploit this vulnerability if they are first able to deposit an altered shared object library onto the targeted system. Therefore, a system may be vulnerable to users with and without local accounts. Not all systems that run an RFC 1408/RFC 1572-compliant telnet daemon and support shared object libraries are vulnerable. Some vendors have changed the trust model such that environment variables provided by the telnet daemon are not trusted and therefore are not used by the login program. Section III contains a summary of information vendors have reported as of the date of this advisory. II. Impact Local and remote users can become root on the targeted system. III. Solution The general solution to this problem is to replace the telnet daemon with one that changes the environment given to the login program. We recommend that you install a patch from your vendor if possible. If this is not possible, we recommend using the workaround in Appendix B until you can install a patch. Finally, if you have previously installed Mr. Borman's telnet package, see Section C for how to get a new version that fixes the vulnerability. A. Vendor Patches Below is a summary of the vendors listed in the current version of the CA-95:14.README file, and the status they have provided. More complete information, including how to obtain patches, is provided in Appendix A of this advisory and reproduced in the README file. We will update the README file as we receive more information from vendors. If your vendor's name is not on this list, please contact the vendor directly. REMINDER: If you installed a version of David Borman's telnet package that is older than October 23, 1995, your system may be vulnerable even though it was not vulnerable as distributed by the vendor.

Appendix A: Vendor Information Current as of November 1, 1995 See CA-95.14.README for updated information Below is information we have received from vendors. If you do not see your vendor's name below, contact the vendor directly for information. Apple Computer, Inc. -------------------- Apple's A/UX is not vulnerable. Berkeley Software Design, Inc. ----------------------------- BSDI's BSD/OS is not vulnerable. Cray Research, Inc. ------------------- Cray's UNICOS is not vulnerable. CYGNUS Network Security V4 Free Network Release ---------------------------------------------------- cns-95q1 is vulnerable. cns-95q4 is not vulnerable. Customers can use the following URL to obtain the patch: http://www.cygnus.com/data/cns/telnetdpatch.html If customers are unable to obtain the patch in this manner or have any questions, send e-mail to kerbask@cygnus.com/ Note that while the URL and patch are already available, there is no link to the page yet. We will add a link once the announcement has been made. Data General Corporation ------------------------ Data General believes the DG/UX operating system to be NOT vulnerable to this problem. This includes all supported releases, DG/UX 5.4 Release 3.00, DG/UX 5.4 Release 3.10, DG/UX Release 4.10 and all related Trusted DG/UX releases. Specifically, telnetd shipped in DG/UX does not support environment options and does not support RFC 1572. Digital Equipment Corporation ----------------------------- Digital's OSF/1: vulnerable Digital's ULTRIX: not vulnerable Digital has corrected this potential vulnerability. Patches containing new images for Digital's OSF/1 platforms are being provided to your normal Digital Support channels beginning October 31 (U.S. time). The kits may be identified as ECO SSRT0367 (telnetd) for DEC OSF/1 V2.0 thru V3.2c This potential vulnerability is not present on Digital's ULTRIX systems. Digital distribution of this announcement will be via AES services (DIA, DSNlink FLASH etc.). Digital Equipment Corporation strongly urges Customers to upgrade to a minimum of DEC OSF/1 V3.0, then apply this patch. FreeBSD ------- Vulnerable. A patch has been applied to the current development FreeBSD source tree which is not yet released. This patch is slightly modified compared to posted one, i.e. only variables which affects FreeBSD are disabled. It is telnetd patch, not a login wrapper. For the official patch, location please contact: Jordan Hubbard Harris ------ Harris Computer Systems Corporation's Night Hawk is not vulnerable. Hewlett-Packard Company ----------------------- HP/UX is not vulnerable. Linux (freely available software; not a vendor) ----- Debian GNU/Linux (From "Peter Tobias" ): The current version of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (released 10/27/95) is not vulnerable anymore. All Debian Installations that use a netstd package version prior to v1.21-1 are vulnerable (telnetd is part of the netstd package). netstd-1.21-1 and above are ok. Patches are available. Peter fixed the bug last week and uploaded the fixed version to our ftp site (ftp.debian.org). Binaries, sources and the diffs against the bsd telnetd can be found there. The URL for the new binary package is: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian-0.93/binary/net/netstd-1.21-1.deb and the sources and the diff against the bsd telnetd can be found at: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian-0.93/source/net/netstd-1.21-1/telnetd.tar.gz ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian-0.93/source/net/netstd-1.21-1/telnetd.diff.gz Red Hat Linux (From Erik Troan ): Vulnerable. A fix is now available at: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat-2.0/updates/NetKit-B-0.06-4.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.pht.com/pub/linux/redhat/redhat-2.0/updates/NetKit-B-0.06-4.i386.rpm It will also be fixed in the upcoming Red Hat 2.1 release. Slackware Linux (Alan Cox ): The telnetd distributed with Slackware Linux appears to be vulnerable, although it has not been verified. MIT-distributed Athena telnet/telnet95 -------------------------------------- Vulnerable. Patches available in: ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/kerberos/telnet-patch/ beta4-3.patch is the patch versus the Beta 4 patchlevel 3 distribution of Kerberos v5. beta5.patch is the patch versus the Beta 5 distribution of Kerberos V5. Both patches have been PGP signed by Ted Ts'o using detached signatures (beta4-3.patch.sig and beta5.patch.sig). NetBSD ------ NetBSD 1.0 (the last official release) is vulnerable; NetBSD 1.1 (due out in mid-November) will not be. NetBSD-current is not vulnerable, as of a week or so ago. Patches: A source form patch has been developed. A core team member will have to make source and binary patches available and provide a location for it. The login-wrapper given in the advisory can be compiled with NetBSD with: cc -o login-wrapper login-wrapper.c NEC Corporation --------------- Some NEC systems are vulnerable. Here is their vulnerability matrix: OS Version Status ------------------ ------------ ------------------------------------- EWS-UX/V(Rel4.0) R1.x - R6.x not vulnerable EWS-UX/V(Rel4.2) R7.x - R10.x not vulnerable EWS-UX/V(Rel4.2MP) R10.x vulnerable patch available by the end of Nov, 1995 UP-UX/V R2.x - R4.x not vulnerable UP-UX/V(Rel4.2MP) R5.x - R7.x vulnerable patch available by the end of Nov, 1995 UX/4800 R11.x vulnerable patch available by the end of Nov, 1995 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contacts for further information: E-mail:UX48-security-support@nec.co.jp Open Software Foundation ------------------------ OSF/1 version 1.3 is not vulnerable. OpenVision ---------- This is from: Barry Jaspan : OpenVision has a patch for the telnetd in OpenV*Secure 1.2 and will contact its customers directly. SCO --- Not believed to be vulnerable. Silicon Graphics ---------------- IRIX 5.2, 5.3, 6.0.1, and 6.1 are vulnerable. SGI acknowledges the telnetd vulnerability reported by MIT and is currently investigating. No further information is available at this time. As further information becomes available, additional advisories will be issued. SGI Security Information/Contacts: For obtaining security information, patches or assistance, please contact your SGI support provider. If there are questions about this document, email can be sent to cse-security-alert@csd.sgi.com . For reporting *NEW* SGI security issues, email can be sent to security-alert@sgi.com. Sony Corporation ---------------- Sony's NEWS-OS 6.x is not vulnerable. .............................................................................. Appendix B: login-wrapper Workaround The login-wrapper program shown below is meant to be executed just before the distributed login program. The wrapper cleans specific variables from the environment before invoking the distributed login program. ------------------------cut here--8<------------------------ /* * This is a login wrapper that removes all instances of * various variables from the environment. * * Note: this program must be compiled statically to be * effective against exploitation. * * Author: Lawrence R. Rogers * * 10/25/95 version 1.1 Original version * 10/26/95 version 1.2 ELF_ variables removed (Linux) * 10/27/95 version 1.3 ELF_ changed to ELF_LD_ * Added AOUT_LD_ (Linux) * */ #include #if !defined(_PATH_LOGIN) # define _PATH_LOGIN "/bin/login.real" #endif main (argc, argv, envp) int argc; char **argv, **envp; { register char **p1, **p2; for (p1 = p2 = envp; *p1; p1++) { if (strncmp(*p1, "LD_", 3) != 0 && strncmp(*p1, "_RLD", 4) != 0 && strncmp(*p1, "LIBPATH=", 8) != 0 && strncmp(*p1, "ELF_LD_", 7) != 0 && strncmp(*p1, "AOUT_LD_", 8) != 0 && strncmp(*p1, "IFS=", 4) != 0 ) { *p2++ = *p1; } } *p2 = 0; execve(_PATH_LOGIN, argv, envp); perror(_PATH_LOGIN); exit(1); } ------------------------cut here--8<------------------------ The following two examples show how to compile the login-wrapper for SGI's IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD 2.x systems. The examples move the distributed login program to a new location and install the wrapper in the standard location. When executed, the wrapper first cleanses the environment and then calls the relocated, distributed login program. Note 1: The wrapper must be compiled statically. On SGI's IRIX system, compiling statically requires that the non-shared versions of libraries be installed. Consult your system documentation to determine how to do this. Note 2: You may need to change the _PATH_LOGIN variable to define where the real login program resides on your system. On some systems, login resides in /usr/bin/login.

The man page for ppp doesn't come close to explaining how ppp works. Yes, I know that its a contribution from a Japanese developer and I appreciate his work and desire to share it with us. However the -auto feature does not autoconnect and in the interactive mode. once I'm disconnected I can't get it to reconnect. I strongly suspect that some portion of my configuration is incorrect however it *does* match the suggested setup. Auto mode means something like - ppp -auto rmii was added to one of your startup files. You expect ppp to autodial and connect whenever you access a non-local node on your network. If you were able to get ppp to work in the fashion described above, please briefly explain how you did it.

Date: Mon, 06 Nov 1995 11:49:59 -0800 From: Darryl Okahata Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Is there anything that describes how to change syscons fonts using vidcontrol? I'm running into a really nasty problem using the XFree86 3.1.2 SVGA server & an Hercules Stingray VL (ARK Logic chipset) video board: every time I quit X-Windows, the console is left in a state with scrambled fonts (e.g., a space is "@", letters are some unprintable IBMPC line graphics characters, etc.). I thought that I could use vidcontrol to reset the fonts, but I've been unable to get vidcontrol to change anything. For that matter, is pcvt any "better" (less buggy, etc.) than syscons? I thought that using pcvt might make my problem go away, but a kernel build for me takes around 15 minutes, and so I thought that I'd better ask if there are any nasty problems with pcvt before spending any more time on this.

The /usr/bin/login program is an suid program, meaning that library environment variables should be ignored. There *is* a potential hole in the ldconfig, since the object (incorrectly) does not "rememeber" the link-time fully qualified path, but that exists even in the "fixed" -current.

In checking this out however, I discovered that telnet would let you log in (to ttypg for example) while rlogin wouldn't. Then I thought maybe the new nomenclature was confusing things, since most Unixes I'd seen went to ttyq0 from ttypf, so I moved ttypg and ptypg to ttyq0 and ptyq0. Then things got weird. Rlogin all of a sudden worked, but listed me as logged into ttypg even though /dev/*typg supposedly no longer existed. Any suggestions? Thanks.

For example, if you let a CD play all the way out, and then hit play again, you get a hang. Or sometimes pressing play when the cd is paused causes a hang.

What manufacturer, make, model, and chipset does your motherboard have? What wd controller are you using, and are you sure you have the wd master/slave relationship correct? Is the wd probed before or after other disk controllers according to the boot messages? Have you attempted to boot the kernel in configuration mode (-c at the boot prompt) and disabled the ATAPI CDROM probe? The message got through but did not contain enough information for anyone to even give you an educated guess.

Ping times from my NT box to the Sparc are under 10ms. I was having the darndest time with an NE2100 dropping packets and other such nastyness. One day surfing the BIOS setup I got to wandering, "what does CLK2/8 mean when referencing ISA speed?" It means the ISA bus is being clocked real slow. Things worked much better at CLK2/3, which might or might not be 11 MHz on my 486DX33. Had to replace the NE2100 with an NE2000 clone in order to add an Adaptec 1542CF. Ftp rates dropped from 400k or 600k down to the 200k to 250k range.

I have a 486DX33 with a 1.2GB Seagate drive which uses software to translate the geometry so that DOS etc can use it. I have Win95, NT workstation 3.51 installed and I would like to install FreeBSD on the remaining 500MB. The problem is that if I hold down CTRL during boot to boot from a floppy as instructed, the BSD boot disk doesn't want to boot. If I boot with the floppy in the drive to start with, the FreeBSD installer can't see the other two partitions (500MB FAT, 200MB NTFS), and wants the whole disk. I searched the mail archives and found a reference to a program called pfdisk (which I tried), but after setting the geometry in the installation I still don't see the other partitions. can anyone help with this ? (I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0.5). thanks, Carey ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! ========================================================================= From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 6 21:22:56 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id VAA03527 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Nov 1995 21:22:56 -0800 Received: from netcom4.netcom.com (root@netcom4.netcom.com [192.100.81.107]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA03517 for ; Mon, 6 Nov 1995 21:22:50 -0800 Received: from netcomsv.netcom.com by netcom4.netcom.com (8.6.12/Netcom) id VAA29018; Mon, 6 Nov 1995 21:21:46 -0800 Message-Id: <199511070521.VAA29018@netcom4.netcom.com> X-Sender: mcstout@netcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 06 Nov 1995 21:21:53 -0800 To: FreeBSD Questions From: Mark Stout Subject: Kerberos?

It doesn't appear to be fully installed, but I keep seeing it. Initially I saw it when I ran 'su' and still do. The message is: 'su: kerberos: not in root's ACL.' What does that mean? It used to take about 20-25 seconds to login after entering my password, but I commented out all references to it in the /etc/services file and I can login quickly like I should, only now I see a warning message: Warning: no Kerberos tickets issued. Where is this Kerberos? Can any of this be attributed to my inability to get wu_ftpd to work right using the ftpaccess file for restricted FTP logins?

Which translation software are you using? It's highly likely that you won't be able to install FreeBSD in this situation, unfortunately. The basic problem is that the BIOS can't boot an operating system that is located beyond the 500M point. It's more complicated than that, of course, but that's the basis of the problem. > Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au -- ]] 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!

I'm only supposed to supervise the system: Create accounts, make backups, transfer HTML files to the server. I'm a beginner in UNIX. The company that sold the system told us that they delivered the equipement as is and that there work is done.!!! (No documentation!!!) The OS is FreeBSD. I've acquired a month ago a CD from Wallnut Creek called FreeBSD 2.0.5. I've tried to locate the documentation on the CD and I wasn't successful. Is there a book I can buy? Here's my problems: ------------------------- 1) I'm trying to exchange files thru the diskette drive so I can look at them on my PC and tranfer newlly created html files. I have a book on UNIX that shows the command to do this as 'doscp'. That command does not exist on my server. I've tried to locate a file on the server with the word *dos* on it and came out empty. Maybe it's not install on my server. I've got the CD. How do I install that feature from the CD? 2) I'm trying to modified the IP adress of the server. The present IP is a test IP. Because it's our only machine at the present time, the system also serves as DNS. I've located in the /etc directory the following files which the content refers to IP addresses: defaultrouter, hostname.ed1, hosts, hosts.lpd, login.access, myname, sendmail.cf. I'm only guessing and I'm not sure of the effect of changing those files and or if there is other files to change. 3) The command 'adduser' does not exist! When I do a 'man' on 'adduser', I can see the proper way to use the command but when I'm trying to create an account with it, I get 'adduser: Command not found.' There is many other problems, but those 3 are the main ones. Where can I get the help I need? Thank you Michel N.

I'm sorry that company is doing such shoddy work. They should have made sure that you had adequate support before they sold the system. When I sell such a system, either I set it up for the customer, or at least provide a detailed document that helps them get started. > The OS is FreeBSD. I've acquired a month ago a CD from >Walnut Creek called FreeBSD 2.0.5. A good system. However, the 2.1 release is just around the corner. I recommend that you place an order for the next CD so that you will have it as soon as it is released. (The subscription is a good price and assures that you get releases regularly) > I've tried to locate the documentation on the CD and I wasn't >successful. Is there a book I can buy? Most of the documentation is in the "man" pages. There is also a sgml handbook. EXTENSIVE work has been done in this area for the 2.1 release. The system configuration files for 2.1 are also a great improvement. I suggest that you replace the /etc files from 2.0.5 with those from the upcoming 2.1 release. Do you have ftp access from some machine? If not I can e-mail you a few files that will make life a lot easier. In particular, replace /etc/rc and /etc/sysconfig. These files are on-line in the tree ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/etc/ They are also mirrored at various other sites.

I recently asked Jordan how to retreive the 2.1 packages off the ftp site , I must have phrased the question wrong. explaination: 1. I have a shell account to the net 2. I have an IDE Cdrom which FreeBSD doesn't support 3. I have downloaded the boot and root floppy images and rawrite. 4. I have run them and been presented with the installation screen and docs 5. I have read them (perhaps not in the spirit that they are presented :) ) 6. I am now thoroughly confussed (don't know smiley for this) Question: How do I retreive the files I need from your (or a mirror sites) computer to my servers hardrive so that I can download them to my MSDOS partition and install FreeBSD. I have tried the "make fetch" scheme presented in the FreeBSD Handbook I downloaded - It doesn't work. I have tried taring the "distfiles" directory - It doesn't work. Short of "getting" each file seperately I have NO idea how to get all the files (again - from your computer to my servers hard drive then to my MSDOS partition.) Please - if this is a case of "If you don't how then you don't belong here" let me know and I'll wait for a FreeBSD release on Cdrom that does support IDE Cdrom. If it's a case of a misplaced comma or period then please let me know. If it's a case of simple (and I am simple) ignorance then please let me know ( gently ).

Is the machine on the net? If so, rather than placing the files on the msdos partition, use use the sysinstall program on the floppy to set up a FreeBSD partition on the hard disk.

The Kernel Configuration Utility (sometimes called UserConfig (-u boot option)) sees it fine as does the shell started from the fixit.flp disk. But wt0 goes away even when I start up /stand/sysconfig from the fixit shell. So I can't install from the tape drive.

I ran the FreeBSD Kernel Configuration Utility - Version 1.0. I disabled everything except the floppy disk controller (fdc0), the Archive QIC-02 tape drive (wt0), the ide disk controller (wdc0), and the Syscons console driver (sc0) thus removing potential conflicts. I have tried many other combinations that seemed to have no effect. I also removed the Digiboard and the floppy disk on unit 1 from the computer. (Note that `probe' is no longer there contrary to the documentation. `probe` was indeed available in 2.0.5 but it didn't help me because the utility sees the tape drive as expected.) I set `irq wt0 3', `drq wt0 3', and `port wt0 0x220'. If I try to set `port fdc0 0x3f2' I see an error `direction bit not set' so I leave the fdc0 port at 0x3f0.

When I exit the kernel configuration utility I see that wt0 is recognized but it does not show up in the F2 screen (DEBUG) after the "Welcome to FreeBSD!" There I see "ioctl(3, TIOCCOMS, NULL) = 0 (success)," "Found a device of type disk named: wd0," and "Found a device of type floppy named: fd0." I have a DC6150 tape in the drive from the beginning with the directories `floppies' and `bin' written by tar with tape blocksize 20. I can read the tape within fixit with cpio but I see `No tape drive devices found!' when attempting the option of choosing the installation media. Actually, I hope I've overlooked something trivial.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Whenever I boot my machine and login for the first time (whether I login as root or my own personal account), I either get a LONG pause (right after the motd prints out, and right before my .login/.cshrc is executed). And since I recently got dial-on-demand PPP set up, the PPP connection also dials out during this long pause. This is kinda annoying, to say the least, and I would like to eliminate the long pauses and net dialing right after login, if possible. Has this something to do with syslog trying to send messages out through the network, when a user logs in? I thought so, so I tried "turning off" syslogd (I commented-out the line that starts syslogd in /etc/rc), but that did not do the trick. Has it something to do with the fact that I'm using tcsh as my login shell? Basically, what I'm trying to find out is, "What is going on here?" and "How can I fix it?" I apologize for the vagueness of my questions and my problem description, but to tell you the truth, that's all I know about it. Any response (by e-mail and/or to the mailing list) is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe you would need to rebuild a release kernel to add: # # These three options provide support for System V Interface # Definition-style interprocess communication, in the form of shared # memory, semaphores, and message queues, respectively. # options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG To your kernel configuration file to get shared memory support with 2.0.5.

Are you using tcsh as your login shell? If so, that's the reason. A bug in tcsh which is now fixed caused it to resolve the hostname for some reason. Either get a new binary or add your hostname (and localhost) to /etc/hosts and have modify /etc/host.conf to use /etc/hosts first. > Has it something to do with the fact that I'm using tcsh as my login > shell?

And as I mentioned in a previous message, the defaultrouter is an IP number, not a hostname. This is why it seems weird. I was wondering if it had something to do with the SMC card, because I don't recall having those kind of problems using an NE2000 clone. (In previous SNAPs).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Two questions: 1. How do you start the system single-user, from the boot prompt? In Linux, you could give a commnad (using LILO boot loader) like: single that would get you into single-user mode. Is there a FreeBSD equivalent? I couldn't seem to find any documentation on this. 2. Is there a program that can display the status of your modem (the most essential ones are: OH - if the modem is off-hook (i.e. dialed out) or not, RD - data being received, TR - data being sent)? I have a internal modem, and this would be a useful thing; it's probably also useful for the laptop/PCMCIA crowd. Thanks!

You may also have to run MAKEDEV psm0 -- I can't remember whether I did or not. If an "ls -l /dev/psm0" doesn't list the file, you will have to so this. Then in /etc/XF86Config, under "Pointer Section", change "Protocol" to "PS/2" and Device to "/dev/psm0".

I haven't seen one; typically, you want one based on a time delay and statistics if you wanted flashing lights. This would need another interface.

I just built and ran a 2.1 kernel and they're -> still hanging after playing one sound. Sounds to me like you've got an IRQ conflict. This is what my sound drivers have always done whenever I've had an IRQ conflict. If you have a printer port and your SB uses IRQ 7, this is possible. If you have a network card using IRQ 10 and your SB uses that, this is possible. If you have anything (LPT2, bus mouse, network card, various other things) using IRQ 5, and your SB uses that IRQ, you might see this problem. Lastly, if you have the normal serial ports (COM1 and COM2) and your SB is set to IRQ 3 or 4, you could see this problem. Lastly, remember that the IRQ and I/O addresses that you specify in your kernel config file must match the configuration on your board and must match the entries in /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h It won't automatically update this file for you. You probably want to look at the board's jumpers, your kernel config file, /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h, and the output of the 'dmesg' command to get an idea what is going wrong.

BUT when I try to compile sysadmin/security programs they fail saying they can't find _crypt [not the exact error message]. I untar'd des.aa and compared its /usr/lib with the 'real' one now and all get installed properly. What did I miss? Several of you sent me the procedure to install DES, and I thought I could write it up in a more complete description of the processs: 1. get des.aa from an ftp site if you're inside the US/Canada. mkdir /usr/des and copy des.aa to that directory. cd /usr/des and do tar xfvzp des.aa Take a look at the files you have to install. [It was setup to have to do the tar from root (/)]. 2. backup your system 3. Use vipw to change root and toor in the password file to have no password, just in case things go wrong -- root::0:0: [root and toor will have :: after the name of the account]. 4. reboot and when it pauses for kernel options, use -s to boot single user. Mount all your partitions -- mount / mount /usr and any others. 5. cd /usr/lib and you can mkdir OLD and put all the *crypt* files/links in there. Then mv /usr/des/usr/lib/* /usr/lib 6. copy /usr/des/bin/* and /usr/des/sbin/init to /bin and /sbin/init (you might need to mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.old first). 7. reboot Adding the old password file from another system. 1. put the password file in a secure directory. You'll be in a shadow password/db setup from here on out so no need to give someone access to the file to run crack on. 2. Do man 5 passwd and cut the awk script from the end into a file called awk.pass and then do awk -f awk.pass old.passwd > new.passwd 3. Use vipw and read in new.passwd at the end of the file. Remove duplicate accounts. Exit vipw 4. Use ALT-F2 to login on a different pseudo-terminal and check that it worked. If it did, use ALT-F1 to go back to the first window and set the password on root and toor. Check logging in to those accouts on ALT-F2 again. And you're done. One thing to watch for: some systems get weird if you put a blank line in the password file, so don't do that. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 7 18:35:08 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id SAA13827 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Nov 1995 18:35:08 -0800 Received: from mailgate.ericsson.se (mailgate.ericsson.se [130.100.2.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA13811 for ; Tue, 7 Nov 1995 18:35:04 -0800 Received: from egg.lmc.ericsson.se (egg.lmc.ericsson.se [142.133.32.1]) by mailgate.ericsson.se (8.6.11/1.0) with SMTP id DAA12886 for ; Wed, 8 Nov 1995 03:34:19 +0100 Received: from bolos.lmc.ericsson.com (bolos.lmc.ericsson.se) by egg.lmc.ericsson.se (4.1/LME-2.2) id AA11497; Tue, 7 Nov 95 21:34:17 EST Received: by bolos.lmc.ericsson.com (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA05211; Tue, 7 Nov 1995 21:32:09 -0500 Date: Tue, 7 Nov 1995 21:32:08 -0500 (EST) From: Samy Touati X-Sender: lmcsato@bolos To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: IDE HD > 1Gb Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Is it true that FBSD will not boot if installed on a IDE HD > 1Gb?

It's set on startup by the /etc/rc file, and yes, it does by default include /usr/local/lib, but not on a real dynamic basis. On startup, the directories you'll see mentioned are scanned for shared libs, and a file in /var/run called ld.so.hints carries info as to where to find stuff. If you add a library, and you're using a recent version of FreeBSD (this has changed not too long ago) you can get ldconfig to re-scan and merge in hints about libs you've added. This is all put down in the ldconfig man page, and perhaps a reread with this info will make more sense to you now. > > Reason being it doesn't seem to include /usr/local/lib. > Is this correct, and if so, shouldn't it be added? > > Curiously, > -Archie > > _______________________________________________________________________________ > Archie L.

As has been said before: YOU GENERALLY DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS. If you absolutely insist on copying stuff to your MS-DOG partition you sure can. What kind of access do you have to FreeBSD distributions? If it's ftp, then you could make local directories bin, floppies, manpages etc. on your MS-DOG disk, and then use the ftp command "mget bin/*" and so forth to download all pieces.

Nowadays I can receive > e-mail messages with the long address format (i.e. user@host.bemarnet.es) Need to put the appropriate MX record in the DNS database file of the nameserver for your domain. This needs to be consistent with your sendmail.cf file. I suggest that you send me (by private email) a copy of these files to see the changes needed. If you have no control over your primary nameserver (perhaps on a machine at other organisation) you will not be able to send the database file, but can tell its administrator to do the changes for you. If you need any additional instructions or help, please let me know.

I think they are related to NFS activity when the system is heavily loaded. I first discovered the problem due to some corruption in some RCS controlled souce files (loads of null chars and/or truncated files). I have been able to narrow it down to NFS writes from the client (SCO) to the server (FreeBSD). I can duplicate the problem by copying files from an NFS mounted disk and back again (it may take a few hours depending on the load). I am about to try and fine tune my NFS client/server setup to slow things down a bit, just in case it's due to duplicate nfs requests not being handled correctly by the server, but that shouldn't cause the system to crash... Is this a known problem with that verion of FreeBSD, will upgrading to latest SNAP solve it ?? System is a P-90, 32MB mem, SMC PCI network card, Seagate Barracuda drives. I enabled kernel crash dumps and installed a debug kernel, so here is the backtrace from kgdb......

It always craps out because gnat has moved to version 2.0.7. I manually ftp'd the file in, and it still won't compile. Gives me a bunch of 'not found' errors.

Apparently, >it's looking for a previous version of gnat. I first used the pkg_add to add the 2.03 gnat, then ported 2.03 from the ports collection just to see if it would work. I did manage to get it compiled but I forgot what I needed to change. I also managed to get gnat 2.06 compiled (gnat 2.05 or 2.06 is needed, along withh gcc 2.7.0, in order to get gnat 2.07 built). I then built gcc 2.7.0 and gnat 2.07 along with the pthreads package but couldn't get tasking to work. I used another FreeBSD installation on a spare disk to do this because I didn't want to lose the ability to do a make world which (AFAIK) needs gcc 2.6.3. The one thing I had to change was to use the GNU make in the Makefile (gcc top-level Makefile) for anything that was ada-related.; you can leave the other parts of the Makefile alone.

It's not odd at all. The standard system daemons don't use /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, the tcp wrapper package does, however. See ports/net/tcp_wrapper. Alternatively, you could compile ipfw into your kernel and use it as a packet filter to block out accesses from that domain.

I did this originally in case 2.X caused me problems, but I haven't been worried about that for a while. What I want to do now is free up the old partitions so that they are available under the new system. For some time I've had them available read-only, with lines like the following in my fstab: /dev/sd0e /oldusr ufs ro 0 0 I had to make them read-only, because I couldn't mount them writable (I get "Operation not permitted"). Were they writable, I'd be happy to just remove everything on them, but since I can't do that, I'm wondering what my best options are. Do I newfs those partitions, so it will be recognizable as a full-fledged 2.0.5 slice? Does it make a difference that my 1.1 partitions are on sd0, while my 2.0.5 stuff is on sd1? I've got dos and windows on sd0 -- strangely enough, I'd like to avoid clobbering them. I'm usually a pretty confident sysadm, but when it comes to newfs'ing, I am trodding on unfamiliar ground...

I'm using trn regularly on FreeBSD-{2.0.5,current}, and i've never seen these problems. Okay, i arguably don't use shell escapes at all (why should i, that i've got ^Z?), but i've never seen the initscr problem, and 99.9 % of all my trn sessions are under xterm.

I setup my accounting chain in the following way: ipfw adda single all from hostA to hostB via ppp0 ipfw adda single all from 0.0.0.0/0 to hostB via ppp0 What I want to be able to do is account for all traffic that IS NOT coming from hostA. Logically, the second rule should catch this. Here's my question. In FreeBSD once a packet matches one accounting rule is it matched against any other accounting rules? If it is, should it be? I say no. But there many be a very compelling reason why it is. It appears to me that the counters are updated for every accounting rule that the packet matches. So in the above example a packet coming from hostA will be caught by both rules, and we get double accounting for the packet. I can write scripts to get around the problem, but the implementation seems flawed. Can you put me in contact with the person who implemented this code.

Needless to say, it should not do this! I experienced the same failure and reported it to this list on an earlier SNAP. I ended installing via NFS without any problems.

The drive (a Maxtor) handles LBA and looks like it has fewer than 1024 cyl instead of the 2448 it actually has...instead of 2448 cyl and 16 heads, it is remapped to appear to have 612 cyl and 64 heads. Since FreeBSD uses the geometry from the disk (2448x16x63) instead of from the BIOS table (612x64x63), it gets confused. However, I still don't understand why the install floppies won't boot (I can boot DOS or Win95 or OS/2 floppies), nor do I understand why I can't boot FreeBSD from a second, non-remapped drive (it was installed there before I got the 1.2G drive/EIDE controller and worked just fine). The controller is a DTC 2278E, which replaced a DTC 2278VL. Very frustrating and disappointing. As these drives become more common I'm sure there will be pressure to make FreeBSD handle them. I believe Linux already does. If I had time, I'd try the hack myself...if I had a system to do it on. Oh well...I probably shoulda spent the money on a SCSI drive and controller.

Since FreeBSD uses the geometry from the disk (2448x16x63) instead of > from the BIOS table (612x64x63), it gets confused. By "the BIOS table", you mean "the DOS partition table"? If so, sorry, but the DOS partition table does not contain the geometry of the disk as one of its contents. If you mean "the same as the BIOS", the answer is that FreeBSD can't make the INT 13 AH=0x08, AL= call to get the BIOS apparent geometry because you can't make BIOS calls from protected mode. If you could make BIOS calls from protected mode, there's still the problem of mapping to a device node, since the DOS BIOS drive ID is based on the INT 13 chaining order, which is in turn based on the POST initialization order of the controller cards for those cards that trap INT 13 (those that don't are either built into the BIOS on the machine or they are unsupported as boot devices). The BSD device nodes are based on controller and driver (and potentially, LUN) probe order, which is kernel specific and is based on the definition and probe order, which has nothing to do with BIOS POST initialization order. > However, I still don't understand why the install floppies won't boot > (I can boot DOS or Win95 or OS/2 floppies), These all use BIOS to load the OS and BIOS or DCB based/aware protected mode drivers to do their I/O (which means they have the standard 8G drive limit -- BSD doesn't). > nor do I understand why I can't boot FreeBSD from a second, non-remapped > drive (it was installed there before I got the 1.2G drive/EIDE > controller and worked just fine). It has to be mapped. The first drive's "boot selector" or MBR loads the OS specific second stage boot from the OS's partition. Some can load from drives other than the first drive. But since a "boot selector" or MBR uses BIOS to load the second stage boot, then you can only boot from drives that you can get at via the INT 13 interface (ie: BIOS). This is complicated by the fact that the second stage boot (the OS specific boot code in BSD) *also* uses BIOS to load the actual kernel, which (because BIOS manufacturers other than IBM are stupid, and IBM used to be) can't itself call BIOS I/O routines from protected mode. The BSD second stage boot thus requires that the BSD disklabel, the BSD "slice 'a'", and any replacement sectors be below cylinder 1023 so BIOS can find them. > The controller is a DTC 2278E, which replaced a DTC 2278VL. Very > frustrating and disappointing. As these drives become more common > I'm sure there will be pressure to make FreeBSD handle them. FreeBSD "handles" them the same way most protected mode OS's that rely on BIOS based boot code (ie: boot code for Intel machines) "handle" them: by requiring that the code to be loaded by the BIOS calls resides in the range addressable by BIOS (ie: below cylinder 1024 because of the 10 bit limitation). > I believe Linux already does. Linux understands LBA. The difference is that some EIDE controllers support LBA, or what the rest of the world has called absolute sector addressing, at least since it was invented. Typically, drives for these controllers come with OnTrack 6.x or better installed on them. When booted, these drives install a TSR of up to 32k of your precious 640k DOS memory, subtract the 64 sectors off of the front of the drive, and load the MBR (if any) at the new drive offset 0 via INT 13 (which the TSR has redirected to itself). The TSR takes translated geometry requests in C/H/S at the INT 13 interface and makes LBA calls to the controller. The reason for the OnTrack INT 13 hook is that EIDE interfaces are usually too cheaply built and their ROMs are too stupid to do the translation without help. Either way, you end up with boot problems for things that don't used the BIOS. Like Linux, FreeBSD, UnixWAre, etc. The two ways to fix this are: 1) Assume the same geometry that the TSR provides. BSD almost does this, but screws up on install because when you boot from a floppy, the TSR isn't loaded and BSD doesn't properly account for that when setting up the partition table entries for the BSD or writing the boot manager (which is just an MBR replacement). 2) Assume the same geometry that the TSR provides for the install, but use LBA to actually do the I/O in the boot code. Linux does this, and correctly sees the OnTrack stuff. The Linux method complicates the boot manager and complicates the OS specific boot blocks, but lets you boot from locations past physical cylinder 1023. In either case, you'd be screwed if you tried to install in the last 1G of a 9G drive because BIOS is stupid. > If I had time, I'd try the hack myself...if I had a system to do it > on. Oh well...I probably shoulda spent the money on a SCSI drive and > controller. There are limits to the size of code you can put in the second stage boot, and there are limit on the "boot selector" replacements for the DOS MBR which both conspire against you being able to fix this problem in BSD by using LBA. Probably the easiest thing to do is to adjust the install to allow the INT 13 redirector to be loaded before the boot manager is loaded and then have the second stage boot and the kernel itself recognize this kind of drive. Note that LBA can't really be coded directly, since it's hard to identify wd drives that support it without locking up some older controllers (RLL controllers are particularly likely to lock up), and besides, no one will ever code above the least common denominator, so it's not expected that LBA disk access will be in wide use anywhere other than specially constructed boot code before NT takes over the world and you don't need it any more.

It expects to find mail in /usr/bin and we have it on /bin (or the other way around). You can just make a symbolic link to mail in the directrory where popclient expects to find mail, e.g. ln -s /bin/mail /usr/bin/mail. I would suggest that you re-make popclient from the port and fix config.h to match what FreeBSD wants. This is what I did and popclient works just fine.

It has nothing to do with MX records. > He is asking about MASQUERADE. I would never say that this has "nothing to do" with MX records. Putting an MX record and changing Cw line of sendmail.cf not only is a simple way to do it (many, if not most systems, won't even have installed the "/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf" path for m4 macro config), but has its own advantages as it will be easy to follow when someone tries to install more machines under the domain. In fact, it is the preferred procedure at many places. My own machine is arranged this way. Many people does not use m4 at all to configure sendmail. Of course, it is generally perfectly adequate to use the MASQUERADE_AS macro, but it likely does no more than putting a DM symbol definition in the .cf file. This is essentially the same as above, but hides it somewhat. I do not see a clear advantage, and it is not advisable to use the m4 approach if their .cf file is locally customized without m4. One first needs at least to see the file to decide. Your method is only one approach, not the only one as you imply.

I would think twice about getting rid of INTR. Yes, perfect! I just checked the man page to see I hadn't just missed something, and the pager finds no occurance of "undef".

I would think twice about getting rid of INTR. Apologies to all! I stated that this was not in the man page. It *IS* in the man page, but got split at the end of a line (un- def) which is why the pager search for it failed. As to why I read through it, well, I must accept the blame for that.

Look at my "From:" field. It is amengual@sadeya.cesca.es, and not amengual@blanco.sadeya.cesca.es (if it is, I have some relativistic problem here).

As I mentioned, it is likely that many people will not have it, and most do not really need it to configure sendmail. If your existing sendmail.cf does things well for you, the temptation to "incrementally" modifying it is high, even if you have the m4 files at hand. > > generally perfectly adequate to use the MASQUERADE_AS macro, but it likely > > does no more than putting a DM symbol definition in the .cf file.

Using m4 is the only *correct* approach. I have never seen, in any book, that only m4 is correct. Every people I know deals directly with the sendmail.cf file. The real point is if you are reasonably confident of what you are doing and, finally, if things work after all. It is not so hard to add rules and mailers by hand in the raw file. As this is falling to "style matters", I suggest that any response should be left out of the poor bored people in the mailing list, if you agree, now that Antonio's problem is (unsurprisingly, ignoring us) solved (by the way I suggested :) Cheers, Carlos From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 9 08:33:40 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA21955 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Nov 1995 08:33:40 -0800 Received: from blanco.sadeya.cesca.es (blanco.sadeya.cesca.es [192.94.163.146]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA21945 for ; Thu, 9 Nov 1995 08:33:34 -0800 Received: (from amengual@localhost) by blanco.sadeya.cesca.es (8.6.11/8.7.0) id RAA02593; Thu, 9 Nov 1995 17:29:55 GMT Date: Thu, 9 Nov 1995 17:29:55 +0000 () From: Carlos Amengual To: Antonio Navarro Navarro cc: piero@strider.ibenet.it, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: About sendmail....

I keep this thread on -questions since we all see frequent ques- tions about this matter, even if it's not strictly FreeBSD relat- ed. The "poor bored people" on this mailing list often receives email asking how to configure sendmail. This discussion, IMHO, can only help them to reply in the most correct way. This doesn't imply *I* am right, it is my opinion that going deeply into this prob- lem now will save a lot of future e-mails. Quoting from Carlos Amengual (Thu Nov 9 18:31:03 1995): > Look at my "From:" field. It is amengual@sadeya.cesca.es, and not > amengual@blanco.sadeya.cesca.es (if it is, I have some relativistic > problem here). And look at the From field from Antonio: It is > "Antonio Navarro Navarro ". Ok. It is already configured for MASQUERADing, then.

ORA Sendmail book, page 325: "Most configuration commands are so complex that each requires a chapter or two of his own. A few, however, are simple. In the balance of this chap- ter, we will describe the simple ones: com- ments, continuation lines, and the V(version) command." ORA Sendmail book, page 731: "V8 sendmail provides an easy way to create a custom configura- tion file for your site. In the cf subdirectory of the source distribution, you will find a file named README. It contains easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions." The book itself is 792 pages long. It devotes 264 pages (323 to 587) to sendmail.cf and its internals, and 21 pages (731 to 752) to m4. I think the above proves beyond any reasonable doubt, thy honor, that the *easiest* way to configure sendmail is using the m4 ap- proach.

The rewriting rules are the same. The rules will test if a certain class or macro is defined, if it is, the rule will be executed, if not it moves on to the next one.

You are correct in saying any customization can be done using the m4 package but it isn't the only right way to do it and I find it easier to add some things to the .cf file afterwards like local rulesets (Ruleset 98 for example). > > Your method is only one approach, not the only one as you imply. > > Wrong!

There is already a FAQ about this, and unsurprisingly follows the lines you mentioned. This does not mean it to be the only way, and I suggested a different approach, that works on my machine and many others. I even was not giving too specific instructions to avoid that it could lead someone to do the wrong things, but instead requested the involved files for inspection. When someone requests help about sendmail here, the answer is always "get the O'Reilly book"; that's the safest general advice so, if you want to help further you need to be more specific and go to study particular situations. The sendmail FAQ is the only other option available, I think. So the interest of these messages is not necessarily high, from my point of view. The real point is that if you expect someone to configure his sendmail only with the advice that can be given in one of these mailing list messages, this is so useless or dangerous with m4 than with a SIMPLE sendmail.cf manipulation. > > As I mentioned, it is likely that many people will not have it, and > > Anybody can get it via anon ftp, you know.

To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I'm running FreeBSD-stable (2.1.0) on a Amd486/DX4-100 ISA/PCI machine with 2940 PCI-SCSI controller and cheapo ISA VGA card. My problem is that it always (well ALMOST always) hangs when it probes the ISA bus while booting. It never displays any other output other than the message telling me it's probing. One weird thing is that I can enter -v at the boot prompt and it works fine. I have recompiled the kernel with just the devices I have. I used to have problems with processes dying with signal 11, but that turned out to be bad RAM which has been replaced with tested RAM (according to the FAQ). However I just experiences some 'random' reboots due to kernel pageing faults. Just after that, all my shells died of signal 10's (SIG_BUS). I'm starting to wonder if I'm having mother board problems. Actually, I'm still having some signal 11 problems. In your experience, are these problems symptomatic of motherboard problems? Thanks alot for your contribution to free unixdom. --- Mike R.

(for my laptop :) ) Hmm, I thought the Qlogic was a Adaptec clone, or maybe it can be configured to be a Adaptec clone. FWIW, though, here are my recommendations: They're basically simple: Adaptec. For the ISA, get the 1542. For VLB, get the 2842 (i think that's the number). For PCI, either get a motherboard, or a card, with the NCR 53 chipset, this is the most widest supported chip where PCI drivers are concerned. As for PCMCIA, I'm not entirely sure, though I'd bet that Adaptec makes a PCI card that can work with existing Adaptec drivers. Just my $0.02 worth...

And when do I install the boot manager (booteasy ?). That's a good strategy. Install the boot manager AFTER everything (INCLUDING FreeBSD) is installed -- the FreeBSD installer has an option to do this, or you can install an alternate boot manager after you've gotten everything to work right (some can even be installed from DOS). > #2 - I'm getting a 1.2 Gig drive & plan on spliting up as 700MB for DOS > & 500 MB for FreeBSD - is this OK? That *SHOULD* be ok, so long as your FreeBSD ROOT partition is below the 1024 cylinder mark. Most BIOS's do what is called "LBA mapping", to get around the BIOS's 1024-cylinder limitation. For example, if a large IDE disk normally has 1600 cylinders, 8 heads, and 16 sectors/track [these are numbers I just pulled out of my head, and aren't real] a BIOS that does LBA mapping will "coerce" DOS into thinking that the disk has, say, 600 cylinders, 24 heads, and 16 sectors/track [again, purely spurious numbers]. That way, "dumb" operating systems like DOS can still access the whole of the disk, without having to install special (memory-resident) boot code, like OnTrack Disk Manager. I think the key is that FreeBSD and the BIOS have to agree on the geometry of the disk, in order for everything to be hunky-dory. There was recently a somewhat long-winded discussion of this on the mailing lists, you might want to see if you can get it from somewhere, or ask the original participants, since I don't quite know much about IDE myself (I put my system together strictly SCSI-based, from day one, to avoid these unnecessary complications.) > #3 - Here is the hardware I'm getting - does anyone see anything wrong? > > a GBT 486DX4-120 MHz PCI motherboard > 16 MB ram > 1.275 Conner EIDE drive > PCI High-Speed EIDE interface > PCI Cirrus Logic 5434 64-bit 1MB video card > Soundblaster Pro with 2X speed CDROM Oops. FreeBSD does not support EIDE at this time (or so I read in the source code and the README's). A regular IDE controller will work, though. Other than that, this looks pretty good, although (I'm not sure) the video board may not be fully supported under X. Check the XFree86 README's, etc.--if it's supported, it will be listed.

No. You will have problems because the 1.2G disk will almost certainly have a geometry-translating int13 redirector installed on it, and installing FreeBSD in that environment will be hell. If your DOS requirements can live in ~500M, then scrub the redirector (boot DOS from floppy and use fdisk to repartition the disk), and have FreeBSD use the rest. If that won't work, you may be OK with Ontrack's DiskManager.

Add a new (logical) characterset to pcvt's VT220 emulation, all is already in place: fonts, mechanisms etc., it just has to be enabled and tested.

However, I am now stuck with the problem of print requests coming from Windows machines killing the lpd daemon. We have lpr running in Windows and it outputs to the print server (FreeBSD) via an Epson 1170 print driver. Since the output from the Windows machines are not text, the special characters are killing the default filter, if there is one, that lpd uses. I have called the people at Epson and they told me that they don't have a filter for the epson 1170 dot matrix printer that runs on Unix (BSDish) machines. My question is: Can I somehow get the output from the Windows machines to go directly to the Epson printer instead of lpd trying to do something with it? Can I set up a dummy filter that doesn't do anything but passes the data to the printer? If so, how can I do it? If only I could look at the source code to the lpf filter, maybe I can hack at it to make it work. Is there source code to the lpf filter? -- William T.

I know, this is another one of those can't seem to get the drive going to even install FreeBSD problems. Well, here goes... I'm trying to get the DPT ESDI caching controller (PM3011) w/4 Megs working with 2 Fujitsu 670 Meg Full Height (fast ESDI) drives. Well, at least that is what the person who owns this ancient beast told me, that is, the fast ESDI part. After low level formatting the drives with the supplied utilities from DPT and booting up from the FreeBSD boot disk, the drives are seen as with an "unknown size, using BIOS defaults". No matter how many cylinders I specify in the BIOS, FreeBSD's boot disk only sees 1025 cylinders. I guess the machine just has an old BIOS. Anyway, I decided to go with 1025 cylinders just to see if the drive can be partitioned and newfs'd. I keep getting errors with "command return status of 36". I'm using 1025/15/53 for C/H/S since 1652/15/53 isn't being seen. Are these the correct values for these Fujitsu drives? Are there any special settings I need to set for the DPT controller? I don't know if BIOS translation and sector sparing can be disabled on this controller. I am using the whole drive for FreeBSD. Actually, both of them. Thanks be to Terry Lambert for getting me up to speed on this boot stuff a while back. At least I thought I was up to speed on this stuff until different hardware came along...

I have heard that with ypcat command anyone can see the crypted > passwds. ypcat get encrypted passwords from a server the same way the remote system would get encrupted passwords and uid in getting the entry by name. This is an artifact of a distributed environment and cannot be repaired without modifying the credentials mechanism to use ticketed access with expiration and reauthentication. If you have people cracking your system on your side of the firewall, then you are probably screwed anyway, since it means they already have accounts on your machines, and maybe physical access to your ethernet. If this is true, then password cracking is the least of your worries (you should never export system proviledged accounts via YP in any case, the passwords should always be local to each machine on the net). Otherwise, don't allow connections to the YP ports through the firewall. Use of YP is heavily tied to the concept of vouchsafe security: it is used for NFS and central administration of multiple machines with a single security model, where breaking into one machine is tantamount to breaking into all of them. With NFS, the client machine vouches that the credentials it is sending to the server are the correct credentials and not fake. That means in a YP environemnt, just like in an rlogin/rcp/rsh/rcmd environment, the security is equal to the security on the least secure machine. If people have access to the physical ethernet and can attach equipment, then a SPARCBook (for instance) can masquerade as any machine, since it can rewrite its hardware address. Then hiding your password file won't do you any good, since an ARP on the machine will show a trusted host for NFS mounting or rlogin/rcp/rsh/rcmd vouching.

I'm a happy user of 2.0.5 (have been, for quite some time now) and I am anxiously awaiting the many new features and fixes promised in 2.1 But I am a bit anxious about this, mainly because of the question of how to upgrade from 2.0.5 to 2.1. I'm wondering if the 2.1 install will be able to "upgrade" a pre-existing 2.0.5 system with minimal or no intervention by the admin. Or will the 2.1 install stomp all over my 2.0.5 stuff, and I have to spend a few nights rebuilding everything? I'm just curious about what to expect, that's all. I always, of course, back up all of my critical stuff before an upgrade like this, so even if "the worst" happens, I'll be prepared. Thanks!

Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out.

Ahh, that's because /usr/local/lib doesn't necessarily exist on all systems. Adding very system specific features put you down the long path to making software *ONLY* work with FreeBSD. I'd rather keep the development tools fairly stock. For an example of what happens when a system does things non-standard, try porting any Linux-specific software to *anything* else. Most of the time it has very Linux-specific paths compiled in, uses Linux-specific Makefiles, and in general is not portable software. Portable software doesn't make any assumptions about anything except for /usr/lib/libc.a.

Sorry, I should have been more specific... this applies only to static libraries... Suppose you have /usr/local/lib/libXXX.a and you complile a program with "cc -o program program.c -lXXX" then it won't be found. -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

I agree strongly that keeping stuff portable is a good idea. But can't we add /usr/local/lib to the search path without having "ld" crash just because the directory doesn't exist? It seems to fit in with the underlying model of FreeBSD, which is to have and use a proper /usr/local hierarchy. Or do you mean that some people might expect some library in /usr/local/lib to *not* be found unless they explicitly specify -L/usr/local/lib ? -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

I've got 2.0.5R installed, and saw a friends machine where he is running PCVT...and decided to try it out here...but I can't get it to compile. After looking at his config file, as well as looking at the man page, I've: disabled sc0 enabled vt0 enabled PCVT_FREEBSD=200 (check out /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/pcvt/*.h for this one) recompiled the kernel Each time, I get multiple declarations about stuff like pccnputc, and about a dozen other similar errors. Now, as I said above, I checked out /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/pcvt/.. ../pcvt_hdr.h, and found the section where it tells you what to set PCVT_FREEBSD= to, and noticed that the 205 that I was using isn't listed, so I figured that I had to go down, not up...I can't seem to find any other documentation other then that in the man page, and the example in my friends config file. From this, can someone tell me what I'm missing, or, if not, where I should look? Thanks... Marc G.

Although I am going to put everything on the Adaptec for 4 scsi drives, instead of two scsi and two ide's. That, and changing to bash as mentioned, should do it. I have been running inn1.4unoff3 with a crash about once a day. Machine is a P90 with 64meg, neptune motherboard. I did read in the FAQ that this motherboard has a limit of 2 bus masters and I'm running three: DEC 21140 PCI ethernet, Mach64 PCI, and the Adaptec 2940W. So maybe I do have a motherboard problem because of the three bus mastering PCI devices on a neptune motherboard. Why do things have to be so complicated?!! Thank you all very much for your input. I was able to get this box running quickly because of it. richg ___________________________________________________________________ Richard W.

I picked up the complete contents of the 'ports' directory for procmail as supplied at wcarchive.cdrom.com, and have re-created it on my home system in /usr/ports/mail/procmail/ I obtained the procmail.tar.gz package from: ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail which happens to be procmail-3.10 I exploded procmail.tar.gz in /usr/ports/distfiles/procmail-3.10/ This is the location as listed in the (ports) Makefile: MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.informatik............... This (ports) Makefile is looking for 'procmail-3.11.1' So, my main question is, will it work? 3.11.1 & 3.10 I ran 'make install |& tee procmail.log', and the log said it could not find 3.11.1. FreeBSD was also trying to find 3.11 at a few ftp sites. In a second attempt, I placed procmail.tar.gz in my local ftp partition, and edited the (ports) Makefile to look there: MASTER_SITES= ftp://localhost/pub/packages/procmail/ I only have a regular Dial_up unix shell account, so I changed the MASTER_SITES value to reflect MY ftp site. Should work, right? If the ports 3.11.1 files Will work with procmail-3.10, should I also edit the (ports) Makefile, changing the 'PKGNAME=' & 'DISTNAME=' to represent 3.10 ? PKGNAME & DISTNAME are currently labeled as procmail-3.11.1 & procmail-3.11pre1 respectively. One side note, procmail is not available in: wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.3/FreeBSD/incoming Thats the only 'incoming' I could get into, there was one other, but I was denied entry. I'm asking this, the above, as I will no doubt be installing other ports in the near future.

I've checked and rechecked termination, scsi-bus speed, etc and still am getting the same thing. The hardware seems to be working, when I (uggh) boot to DOS I can mount the CDROM (same disk) and read it fine. I've been wrestling with the scsi subsystem in this beast for a week, can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Jay K.

Hmmm, someone mentioned the iij docs were not in english and I know the pppd manpages said this can be done. What I want to do is basically the same thing as SLiRP like how I currently am connected to here now.... 1) I dial out via modem of my FreeBSD box using kermit to astro.Berkeley.EDU directly. 2) I login and then rlogin -8 apollo.COSC.GOV -l vince to this machine 3) I run slirp -P on apollo(FreeBSD) and this will become the ppp server 4) I start pppd on my FreeBSD machine but all my sessions for TCP/IP will be using apollo's ip. What I want to do is do the same thing as what SLiRP does except use my own ip which is part of COSC's class C address. Any ideas on how this can be done?

What he wants to do is set up a path, which is part dialup line, and part telnet session, to a machine where he can run a slip (or ppp) server.. on starting up slip on the far machine he would like to then suspend the terminal session, and start slip on the local end.. in other words, he wants to be able to log in through a pty and have a sliplogin start up, back through the telnet session AND the dialup link. I did do this once, but then the old slip and ppp code was changed, so that they would specifically test for a pty before pushing themselves onto the tty, and refuse if it was.. I thing someone thought this was a good idea but I don't know who.. if you can run iij as a login then it may still be able to do this as it doesn't use the kernel ppp module (which explicitly refuses to do this) > I haven't played with iij so don't know how either of those enter into the picture.. julian From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 11 01:19:11 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id BAA09154 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 01:19:11 -0800 Received: from tooyoo.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp (tooyoo.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp [130.69.116.39]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA09149 for ; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 01:19:06 -0800 Received: from tooyoo1.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp (tooyoo1.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp [130.69.201.129]) by tooyoo.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp (8.6.11/3.3W4) with SMTP id SAA29087 for ; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 18:23:41 +0900 Received: from localhost (localhost.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp) by tooyoo1.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp (4.1/3.4Wbeta6) id AA00358; Sat, 11 Nov 95 18:19:38 JST Message-Id: <9511110919.AA00358@tooyoo1.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp> To: questions@freebsd.org Cc: fkr@tooyoo1.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp Subject: [951104-SNAP] can't NFS, please help!

Possibly. I can't speak for SunOS 4.1.4, but in the NFS implementations I am familiar with the above export only exports /usr/local/pub If a client tries to mount /usr/local/pub/FreeBSD or /usr/local/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-951104-SNAP they would get permission denied error. You could either export all the directories individually or use the export option -alldirs or -subdirs if your NFS implementation supports it. I.E. /usr/local/pub -alldirs -access=FOO1:FOO2:FOO3 Another potential problem is that the installer might be trying to mount the filesystem as root, or you might have the permissions on the directory too secure. for my OS I would add -maproot=root /usr/local/pub -alldirs -maproot=root -access=FOO1:FOO2:FOO3 -- Brian Litzinger | | brian@mediacity.com | This space intentionally left blank | http://www.mpress.com | | From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 11 04:07:24 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id EAA15026 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 04:07:24 -0800 Received: from casparc.ppp.net (casparc.ppp.net [194.64.12.35]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id EAA14559 for ; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 04:07:01 -0800 Received: from ernie by casparc.ppp.net with uucp (Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0tEEdF-000I3dC; Sat, 11 Nov 95 13:02 MET Received: by ernie.altona.hamburg.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #3) id m0tEEUV-00001UC; Sat, 11 Nov 95 12:52 MET Message-Id: From: hm@altona.hamburg.com (Hellmuth Michaelis) Subject: Re: PCVT: Can't compile...frustrating...

Thank you for your advice, But SunOS 4.1.4 doesn't support -alldirs, -subdirs, -maproot options. By the way, the NFS problem was solved after I installed by FTP and setup NIS propoerly. What I learned from this lesson is that one has to set up NIS properly before setting up NFS.

Does anyone have details on the boot process of Windows95 ? We would like to set up a boot eprom for Win95, using the FreeBSD boot eprom code as a starting point. Depending on how the bootstrap is carried on in Win95, the thing might be very easy or very hard to do. The following alternatives are possible: + if the first piece of code which is loaded by win 95 does contain network support, then things might be done in a similar way to FreeBSD (i.e. load the code in memory, and give control to it); + otherwise, a small floppy image should be loaded somewhere in memory, [so that the network card is not in use afterwards], the disk read&write routines are hooked to some code which accesses this image instead, and control is transferred to the standard boot code. After booting has completed, the area of memory containing the floppy image is freed and returned to the pool of usable RAM. The second approach is harder, because you have to find out how to allocate memory in such a way that the floppy image is not overwritten during the (early) stages of the boot process. Any pointers (even to books, ftp sites etc.) greatly appreciated.

I've tried porting the various text-based CD players available on the Linux ftp sites, with no luck. They either demand header files that don't exist in FreeBSD, or just plain don't work. I've even tried the text-based cd player that comes with xmcd (it's called cda), but for some reason, it just does not work. (it says something like "that command cannot be issued in this mode" or something to that effect). Anyone know of any program that'll suit my needs? Thanks!

(fwd) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I'm running FreeBSD-stable (2.1.0) on a Amd486/DX4-100 ISA/PCI machine with 2940 PCI-SCSI controller and cheapo ISA VGA card. My problem is that it always (well ALMOST always) hangs when it probes the ISA bus while booting. It never displays any other output other than the message telling me it's probing. One weird thing is that I can enter -v at the boot prompt and it works fine. I have recompiled the kernel with just the devices I have. I used to have problems with processes dying with signal 11, but that turned out to be bad RAM which has been replaced with tested RAM (according to the FAQ). However I just experiences some 'random' reboots due to kernel pageing faults. Just after that, all my shells died of signal 10's (SIG_BUS). I'm starting to wonder if I'm having mother board problems. Actually, I'm still having some signal 11 problems. In your experience, are these problems symptomatic of motherboard problems?

Typically, you want this off. If it isn't on on both your hub and your card, it will blow chunks on one or the other. If it is off on both, it will work fine. If it is on on both, it will work fine. Typically, older DEC equipment requires it on, and older AT&T hubs want it off. Generally I keep it off; it's a useless wast of bandwidth that harkens back to the time before SNMP and when ethernet transceivers were these lumpy things bolted onto big orange cables at the end of a 10 to 30 foot AUI cable.

It means the jumper on the card has it turned on but the transceiver (either the AUI or RJ connected unit on the other end of the cable attached to the PC) doesn't. Typically you will want to jumper it "off" on the card. > Is this going to be an annoyance, or a real problem? Depends on the card. Why not solve both potential issues by jumpering it off?

It would be. You could do it, but it would take Level 2 or better access to materials. You would need at the very least the MSVC2.0, the SDK, and the DDK. The main problem isn't the bootstrapping, it's the switch to protected mode. Basically, the thing switches from a non-protected mode FAT FS (that you could intercept at the INT 21 or INT 13 level in your boot code, per your second scenario) to VFaT, which you couldn't unless you predisable 16 bit I/O, etc. Even then it's rather iffy when the thing first comes up; basically, you'd probably have to reimplement VFAT to make it happy, since it will call the VFAT FSD entry point FS_OpenFile with a NULL pir->ir_ppath to indicate that it's reestablishing a handle for a file that was open before it went into protected mode. > + otherwise, a small floppy image should be loaded somewhere in memory, > [so that the network card is not in use afterwards], the disk > read&write routines are hooked to some code which accesses this image > instead, and control is transferred to the standard boot code. > After booting has completed, the area of memory containing the floppy > image is freed and returned to the pool of usable RAM. > > The second approach is harder, because you have to find out how to > allocate memory in such a way that the floppy image is not overwritten > during the (early) stages of the boot process.

Hmmm, hopefully it can do it since isn't SLiRP basically based on FreeBSD networking code so all that really needs to be changed is to use real ip numbers instead of a emulated one.

Why not solve both potential issues by jumpering :it off? Well, it does seem to be my card and not the router as I had hoped. The only problem is that my card is software setable. Thus, I don't think that there are any jumpers on it. Looks like it's time to put a call into Cabletron's tech support. 8( --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."

Having a problem with IJPPP to a Livingston Portmaster at work, using Multitech 28.8 at 38400 bps on my end, US Robotics Courier 28.8 at 115200 on the other end. Problem: I was building a cross-compiler for FreeBSD to BSD/OS last night and instead of ncftp'ing my file over, I decided to rcp includes.tar.gz sierra:gcc-2.7.0/. It starts the transfer (I see the rx/tx lights flash) and then bombs, leaving me still online - but the ppp process is gone. Looking at /var/log/ppp.log, I see: 11-12 05:36:53 [3872] LCP: Received Echo Reply (119) state = Opend (9) 11-12 05:39:53 [3872] ** Too many ECHO packets are lost. ** 11-12 05:39:53 [3872] LCP: LayerDown 11-12 05:39:53 [3872] OsLinkdown: 205.199.144.22 11-12 05:39:53 [3872] Phase: Terminate 11-12 05:39:53 [3872] LCP: SendTerminateReq. 11-12 05:39:53 [3872] LCP: state change Opend --> Closing 11-12 05:39:55 [3872] PPP Terminated. Something looks weird there, maybe the connection is so bogged that PPP echo packets dont return in time? Any ideas?

Ran into mice problem. Every time I startx, my mouse either totally doesn't work or skips (I see the pointer, then it's gone, then I see it again) and I get a whole bunch of the following errors: sio0: more interrupt level overflows... Mouse is connected to DTC 2280 super I/O card (16550) and my computer is a generic Pentium 90. I tried two different mice (Logitech and Microsoft) and basically ran them through all possible settings in /etc/XF86Config. The best I was able to master was a jerky mouse motion with a bunch of "interrupt level overflow" errors every couple of seconds. It might be something trivial (bad serial port?), but I haven't dealt with FreeBSD before, so any clue where to look is appreciated. -- mikhail From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 11 23:18:48 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id XAA27082 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 23:18:48 -0800 Received: from eros.library.csusb.edu (eros.library.csusb.edu [139.182.195.200]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA27077 for ; Sat, 11 Nov 1995 23:18:45 -0800 Received: (from nwestfal@localhost) by eros.library.csusb.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id HAA06286; Sun, 12 Nov 1995 07:14:10 -0800 Date: Sun, 12 Nov 1995 07:14:08 -0800 (PST) From: "Neal E.
