When I try to run the fixit disk from the install menu, it asks to put the disk in the drive and then tells me that it is "Unable to mount fixit floppy - want to try again" or something like that.

The only responses I got were people asking me to pass along the information if I figured it out. I've seen people asking questions here about Promise 2300+ controllers and ATAPI CD-ROM drives. To those in the know, what were the settings you set your card at, and what options did you have to compile your kernel with to get the sytem to boot correctly? I don't have an ATAPI CD-ROM drive, just the said controller. I have standard IDE drives formatted using CHS so I've turned off LBA mode on the card (is LBA mode even supported considering the comments from the LINT config file?). With those setting, my DOS partition boots fine, but the FreeBSD partition stops after about 2 rotations of the spinner.

The PCNFS "net use" for printers established a redirection for the local printer to the remote host using lpr protocol. That is, if you are using TCP/IP print services, they are BSD lpr protocol based. Most likely the error message is correct: "invalid remote device". You must establish a printer in the /etc/printcap for the name of the device that you will attempt to access. My first guess with this little information would be case sensitivity; that is, I expect that the DOS "net" command is upcasing the name before sending it out on the wire. You should examine the /etc/printcap file on your HP machine, and correct you BSD machine's /etc/printcap as necessary.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi everybody, I'm trying to install hylafax in my Free 2.1.0-R box for some time without success. In fact I've tried also mgetty+sendfax unsuccessfully. I tried it with two modens: USR sportster 14400 and Turbo Modem ( a Exar based modem). Hylafax doesn't seem to like the sportster at all (It doesn't recognize it with faxaddmodem). I've tried the 3 usr-* configuration provided without success. It is impossible to use mgetty because the sportster is class 1. The turbomodem works nicely with hylafax (exar configuration) up to the speed of 9600. If the transmitter is at 14400, it doesn't work. I believe this has got to do with the DTE-DCE speed at 19200 but , if I change this to 38400, nothing works. Worse than that, sendfax (hylafax) doesn't work until I change the configuration to hardware flow control. Here however, it stops receiving fax correctly. Therefore I don't have a config for both receiving and sending faxes. mgetty+sendfax seems to work nicely with the exar modem but it receives a file which I can't parse. The g3topbm utility complains a lot about invalid codes even wiht the "reversebits" option. My questions are: 1) Is there a place (newsgroup, mailing list) where I could ask for help? 2) Is there anybody using any of these software successfully with 2.1.0-R? If yes, what is the modem? 3) Which modem(inexpensive, please) do you advice?

I am using USR's 28k8 Sporsters with the 33k6 upgrade. I am dialing in from a test win95 box with a USR Sportster 14k4. This is FBSD2.1.0R controlling a BOCABOARD 16port job on IRQ10, base address 100. I can dial in and get a login prompt just fine almost 100% of the time. It's when I switch from the normal terminal mode to PPP mode that my problems start. On the first or second call in, things work fine, I can ping my dialin box just fine. After that if I try to dial in I get to the PPP part, things look like they are working fine but I can't even ping the dialin box, http doesn't work to anywhere, etc. Relevant lines in /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure [...] ttydg "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure Relevant lines in /etc/gettytab: std.38400|38400-baud:\ :np:sp#38400: Relevant lines in /etc/rc.serial: modem() { # Modem that supports CTS and perhaps RTS handshaking. for i in $* do comcontrol /dev/ttyd$i dtrwait 500 drainwait 180 stty ; eol2 = ; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; The main thing that caught my eye right away was the 'hupcl'.

And if that IS the case how come I can still dial in and get a login prompt in terminal mode, even though afterwards switching to PPP has stopped working? In any case I am getting extremely frustrated with the entire effort here. I know other people have gotten FreeBSD and BOCABOARDs working before, as I set mine up with the help of the Handbook. If anyone can make any suggestions as to why this might be occuring I would appreciate it greatly.

As I understand it, the current version won't install in 4 Megs, but I think if you built a non-generic kernel tuned to your system, it should work ok. Marc and I have considered doing an updated version of Freertr; in particular we'd like to put gated and expect on it, but since that would require at minimum two floppies, and with hard disk prices the way they are, there doesn't seem to be much point --- people can just get a $200 hard disk and put a regular installation on it. The current version of Freertr has about 30K left on the disk; with the compressed binaries and shared libraries features, we might be able to squeeze out some more space, but one idea I had was to have basically the same stuff on disk 1, and have it check to see if there is a disk 2 present, and if so, make available the added features. The question is, though, is it worth the effort? Are there enough people who want to do this that can't or don't want to get a cheap hard disk? -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Freedom for me to be and do +1 503 452-0960 \ / only what *you* approve of 45 28 59 N / 122 43 20 W / 440' MSL \/ is no freedom at all.

As foreign, it's not very clear to me if, for example, the bin.aa file should be copied to a directorie called \bin\bin.aa or to \bin. In this file you also mention that 5 files should be copied to each 1.44Mb disk, but as a matter of fact, each disk can hold 6 files (with 5 the space free is 254000 bytes - the files have 240000 bytes). Should I copy 5 or 6 ? This must have to do with some users that have 1.2Mb disks. The OS FreeBSD is only the bin files ? If not, where are the other components (besides software) ? My internet connection is dial-up. If I install only the bin files does FreeBSD have support for this ? (so I can download his software) If not can I download software for it with DOS and then install it in FreeBSD ? I have a CD-ROM (Pioneer DRUA-124X). Will FreeBSD work with it ? The CD-ROM is connected to a SoundBlaster AWE32. The card as two connectors. One, as described in the manual, is a IDE controller. The other is for Creative's CD-ROM. When I boot with the disk created by the image file ATAPI.FLP, I run configure (-c option), to check out the hardware configurations. There were 24 conflicts. In the 'visual' option I saw that all the CD-ROM configurations appeared with 'conflict' warning. All but one. The one of 'mcd10', port 340, IRQ 11. But my IDE interface on the AWE32 is configured to IRQ 15 (it won't work with other configuration). Should I configure FreeBSD to look out for the CD on that IRQ ? If so, in wich CD option should I set that (mcd0, mcd1, matcd0, scd0) ? Isn't the hard disk configured to IRQ 15 ? I'm telling you this, because I bought OS/2 and I can't get it to work with my CD and I can't get in touch with Pioneer, so they can give me the driver. You say that FreeBSD is SoundBlaster compatible. The setup table doesn't show any options to configure that card. Is it compatible ? Thank you very much for your time. Joao Pedras Ps : I'm a computer science student. I'd like in the future to be of some help for this project.

Also, the Adaptec is on port 334 instead of 330 so it won't conflict w/ my SB-AWE32/Roland daughtercard combination. My goal is to have DOS & Win95 on the two Western Digitals and FreeBSD on one of the SCSI's. (The other 2, ID's 1 and 2, already have Linux and SunOS 5.4 for X86 installed on them w/ no problems.). I was able to boot up FreeBSD using the FBSDBOOT.EXE on the FreeBSD 2.0.5 Walnut Creek CD and install the software (it did complain bitterly about the disk geometry on the SCSI drive, but I persisted and installed anyway) with no problems. However, now I can't boot up the system using either the OSBS boot manager software from the CD or the boot floppy - it just locks up after stating "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle.". What is the proper way to install FreeBSD and then boot the OS? Thanks for your help. -Ryan R.

You post your question here, with as much extra info as you can collect to make the situation more clear, and one of a groups of volunteers reads your post and tells you the answer. Sometimes you get 6 replies, sometimes (if your problem is really hard, and everyone is scratching their head over it) you don't get any. Overall, the support level you get this way is better and faster than that available commercially from any real world vendor with paid staff, in fact 'way better, and it won't cost you a dime. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

My advice: Don't use g77 for mission critical projects. Use f77/f2c. It's in the tree. It's far more mature than g77.

There isn't any way to be more selective. There's a handbook section on ctm, and it isn't hard to use, you can even get mail to automate it for you. The only hard part is the first big gulp of sources, a whale of a big file, nearly 30 megs, and Poul kinda resists the idea of breaking it up any. If you can't take that in one bite, last time I needed to do that, I asked here and had about 5 volunteers with ftp space to do it for me. Luckily, that only needs to be done to bootstrap yourself to current. Sometimes your first make world under current will blow up, because there are some tools that have to be made first, and installed, for this to work. As a suggestion, I would manually make /usr/src/usr.bin/install first, then do that same thing for the rpc and rpcsvc dirs of include, then the rpcgen, then try the make world. Don't send complaints here, Marty, they go to the FreeBSD-current list. You should join that list, and the commit list too. Stuff like the info on how to handle the rpc stuff was posted there, and reading it will save you embarrassment on later complaints. You can't expect a kernel to work, if it's too far out of date with the general system, because a lot of things in user-land, like ps, have to track the kernel structures in order to work. I think you really want to either do a make world, or forget just running a current kernel. > > > > marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com > Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) > Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic > Arthur C.

Any help appreciated. OK. First off, "LBA mode" is irrelevant. All LBA refers to is linear sector addressing. LBA mode on the controller means that the controller supplies the extended interface. No DOS software uses this extended interface. Instead, there must be an INT 13 redirector, either in the BIOS or in OnTrack DiskManger or similar software that cause: 1) Geometry translation. 2) Translated C/H/S values at the INT 13 interface to be computed into LBA values based on the translation and the LBA interface used to actually do the disk access. This means that, like SCSI, there is no way to exceed the bit limitation on the disk size after translation (8G @ 512b sectors) in the DOS INT 21/INT 13 framework. Now the BSD second stage boot (loaded by the MBR or MBR replacement, like OS-BS) uses the DOS INT 13 interface (and thus can use LBA) to load the kernel. The problem occurs when the kernel itself comes up and the geometry is different than INT 13->LBA translator says the geometry is. You can fix this by hacking the sector offsets in the disklabel to agree with the values you get using the translated geometry. You have to do this right after install before the reboot on the Alt-F2 screen (the setup program *might* let you do this inside of it; I don't know).

Their excuse is, that they work around this in their BIOS and the Compaq supplied OS drivers. I've already put a lot of effort into working around these bugs! (It is easier for Compaq: Their BIOS has to support their system ONLY. I have to find a solution that works well with Compaq and other hardware, and that is much more of a problem ...) Do you have some other FreeBSD system to build a kernel on ? There ought to be some messages corresponding to PCI bus chips, at least if booting with "-v". Please send all numbers from those lines. I'll tell you what you can do. The Compaq SCSI controller is most probably some variant of the NCR5380 (not of the NCR53c810 !). I'm not sure, whether the FreeBSD "nca" driver will support that chip.

I've got a program written that accesses a PostGres95 database to retreive and modify information. Now, the database is setup in such a way that the userid that owns the database is the only one that has permission to make modifications to it, since I don't want modifications to the database to made without using my program. The program I've installed is installed owned by the owner of the database, and setuid'd...but when I try to run it, I'm getting a failure to connect to the database server. I've already sent a similar query to the postgres95 mailing list, but after some thought, I'm resend it slightly differently... If a program is setuid, it should pass the "userid" of the owner of the program to the database server, correct? Just to make sure that that concept is correct... If that is correct, and nobody knows of any reason why this won't work in FreeBSD...does PostGres95 somehow ignore the setuid bit, by using 'getlogin()' when it passes the userid to the server? Mainly...how does PostGres95 determine who is trying to access the server, how is there something I can do to override this in such a way that its still only my interface, that is setuid, that can access the server?

When making the floppies, you want to make SETS of floppies from the directories, also called distributions. For example, with the bin distribution, you want to copy as many of the bin.* files to floppies as possible, keeping track that those disks contain the bin dist. When install time comes, you will load in each disk one at a time until you've copied the entire set in. Then the installer will expand the files as necessary.

The card as two connectors. (Great card, btw) Do you know the interface type? You hint below it's ATAPI. In that case, it may be necessary to move the cdrom onto your primary disk controller and make it the slave and your hard disk the master.

For starters, FreeBSD is portioned into distributions, each of which is compressed, so the base install takes up 14 floppies but expands to roughly 40MB, or something like that :) Next, yes, you can install FreeBSD with other operating systems, as long as you have a slice entry available. You can put it on it's on disk or share with another, if you have the space.

Kelley" Subject: Another Failed to boot problem Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've managed to install FreeBSD 2.1R from my ATAPI CDROM drive onto my second hard drive solely dedicated to FreeBSD. My primary drive is a DOS drive. During the (novice) install, I specified that the FreeBSD boot manager is to be installed. However, when I reboot my PC, I get the prompt from the boot manager to press F1 for DOS, or F5 for Disk 2. F1 boots DOS with no problems. However, F5 just causes the boot manager prompt to be redisplayed. In other words, I can't boot the installed FreeBSD. Here are my questions: 1) Is it possible to boot FreeBSD from a floppy and have the boot process automatically (or manually, even) recognize my FreeBSD installation? 2) How do I remove the boot manager from my DOS disk? 3) Alternatively, how do I make the FreeBSD boot manager work?

I want to build a local network system within an office with Pentium PC (FreeBSD 2.1.0), SparcStation (Solaris 2.5) and an ethernet Hub. But I have serious problems to make it work. Pentium PC has an ethernet card and moden. The FreeBSD has been working for months. Because I have no direct internet access, I changed a line in /etc/sysconfig from network_interfaces="ed0 lo0" to network_interfaces="lo0" Last week, I purchased a Smart EtherHub with 16 port, and a Sun SparcStation with Solaris 2.5. When I turned power on at very begining, it asked me hostname, IP number, and whether it is networked. I gave a hostname, pick up a random IP number. Thus, SparcStation itself is up. I connected Sparc to the hub (port 1) using patch cord, and connected PC to the hub (port 2) using patch cord. Sparc has its hostname 'ultralean' and PC has its hostname 'supanee'. My question is how can I access one machine from another? Say, I want to telnet to supanee from ultralean, how? The following commend telnet ultralean does not work.

Well, if you have a 2400 BPS modem, and you're absolutely sure you have no compression going on, then you wouldn't really need flow control, and any overflow must be happening at the far end of the link. That's where I would now suspect problems. I bet their flow control isn't really working. Three minutes with a technician and a RS-232 breakout box would prove it. Breakout boxes are running less than 100 dollars right now. You would insert the breakout box between the far end computer and the far end modem, dial in, then begin a really long listing. You should see the CTS light blinking slowly on and off, maybe at a 1 second on, 4 seconds off rate. If you didn't see that, and the data from the computer pause in synchronization with it, then the interface at the far end computer is broken. If you saw the CTS light blink, but the far end computer didn't stop, this would mean that the modem was yelling "stop" but the computer wasn't listening to it. If you never even saw the CTS light blink, the modem is being incorrectly optioned not to use hardware flow control. There might be a software way of finding the problem (any others out there want to help? but this is how I'd do it. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

Since starting xdm is rather like a tty service, start it from /etc/ttys: ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure This will have the nice side effect of running your X server on ttyv3, and leaving the logins on ttyv0, ttyv1, and ttyv2 still running. When X starts up, it will switch the console to ttyv3. You can get back to the text consoles by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 for ttyv0, Ctrl-Alt-F2 for ttyv1, and Ctrl-Alt-F3 for ttyv2. Use Alt-F1 through Alt-F4 to move between the consoles and the X session.

"ed0" is your network card; "lo0" is the software loopback device used to talk to "localhost". You will need "ed0" in there to talk to the SPARCstation over the ethernet. > Last week, I purchased a Smart EtherHub with 16 port, and > a Sun SparcStation with Solaris 2.5.

Bad choice. DON'T PICK RANDOM IP ADDRESSES! In RFC 1597, the IETF has set aside several addresses to use for "non-attached networks" and you should use one (or more) of those. In general, for small networks, pick host addresses within the Class C network address 192.168.0.0.

First, you need to make the network card on your FreeBSD machine work, as noted above. Then you need to make sure the IP addresses for both machines are in the same network. My recommendation is to make the SPARCstation, ultralean, 192.168.0.1 and the FreeBSD machine, supanee, 192.168.0.2. Your hosts file on each machine should contain the following lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 ultralean 192.168.0.2 supanee On the FreeBSD system, edit /etc/host.conf to contain a single line containing the word "hosts". On the Solaris system, you will need to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and setup the machine to get hostnames *only* from the hosts file. Reboot both and see if it works. > Your hints and help will be greatly appreciated. My other suggestion is to run, not walk, but RUN to your local bookstore and get a copy of "TCP/IP Network Administration" by Craig Hunt (1992: O'Reilly and Associates, ISBN 0-937175-82-X). This will explain how the magic of TCP/IP works, and does a good job of explaining *most* UNIX implementations also. With that and the man pages and the FreeBSD FAQs, you should be able to get your system up and running. It'll even help you set up a nameserver, if you do get connected to the internet. Good Luck!

I have set it up according to the handbook (with the exception of the kermit scripts to enable auto-a.

Next time I dial in, the line again presents me with the login prompt as per getty.

You will not be able to communicate without it. What kind of ethernet card is in there now? You will also need to modify your ``ifconfig_ed0'' line below the network_interfaces line to get your IP number in there, so the computer knows who it is. > Sparc has its hostname 'ultralean' and PC has its hostname 'supanee'. > My question is how can I access one machine from another? > Say, I want to telnet to supanee from ultralean, how? > The following commend > telnet ultralean > does not work. > > Your hints and help will be greatly appreciated. Don't forget to add both hostnames to /etc/hosts so name lookups work ok. This is really quick and dirty, if you want any details just ask.

All the virtual terminals I've seen don't clear the screen after logoff, and this is on four separate FreeBSD machines.

Some questions : - When you hit F5 the first time and get the bootmanager menu again, do you have the default value listed as 'F?'

Hello all! We've been debating here as to how we want to do IP addressing in the future. Right now, we have two student dorms online, with the rest coming online in fall. That will total out to be ~2000 or so people (+/- 1000 :) ). Right now we just staticly address each person an IP address when we install the software on the system. However, the rest of the University is on bootp right now which seems to be working ok. What I'd like to know is the pros-and-cons between the various ip assignment systems. I don't want to know which one is _better_ or any other possible points of contention. We need to know who is online and how to reach them. This way if we discover that someone is abusing the network we can get a hold of them. Please take this and similar security measures into account. We have a FreeBSD box available for whatever, if you want to know. These are the things I see so far (+ = good, - = bad): Static IP + Instantly on-line [this is important since we currently install the network software off the net, that might change] + Always works, even if server goes down - They can change their IP address easily ``static'' bootp (we get enet addr, we add to bootptab): + Track by enet address, which our hubs also run by (we can query the hubs as to who is connected to what port) + They change enet address, they don't work - Server goes down, everyone else can't connect ``dynamic'' bootp (they plug in, they get an address): + Instantly on-line - They change enet address, they still work (some network cards let you change the ethernet address) I'm asking since I'm not so familiar with bootp or bootpd under FreeBSD. Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

When I first started with SLIP, then PPP, one of the cardinal rules given to me by Terry Lambert was "turn off modem compression completely." Reasons for this edict I've garnered over the years include: 3. Modem compression, as you have noticed, often interferes with VJ compression used in SLIP and PPP implementations. 2. Modem compression often interferes with, and lengthens transfer of, compressed files such as .gz and .jpg. 1. Modem compression slows down turn-around time -- terrible for interactive sessions.

The problem here is that if the process forks, and the parent modifies data pages while the child exists, it must make copies of those pages (copy-on-write after fork). If those copies are paged out, then both the copies and the originals will occupy space until the parent exits, even if the child exits. I think I described the chains of shadow objects that were accumulating, and the fact that those are supposed to get coalesced. It turns out that the code to coalesce does not work if an object has been paged out. This is the scenario that causes problems: - a long-lived program forks repeatedly, - the parent modifies data space before the child does exec or exit, and - the parent's modified pages get paged out before child does exec or exit. The only situation in which this seems to be a problem is if a login shell (or any long-running interactive shell) runs scripts by forking and running them directly. This will not happen with csh; I don't know about ksh or bash. (It does not happen with csh because it uses vfork, and re-exec's itself if running a csh script). It also does not happen if the scripts are "executable" scripts, i.e. those that start with #!/bin/sh. It is also a problem only if the script or other system activity uses enough memory for the shell to be paged out while the script is running. The bad news is that this problem is not easy to solve... However, I think there are some workarounds that can be used for the moment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- if anyone has the status, if any, for this bug under freebsd, i would appreciate it. rich From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 16 09:27:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA26971 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 09:27:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from rocky.sri.MT.net (rocky.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA26966 for ; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 09:27:16 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA04772; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 10:29:35 -0700 Date: Tue, 16 Jan 1996 10:29:35 -0700 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199601161729.KAA04772@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: Terry Rossi Cc: "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" Subject: Re: SOLUTION: netstart hanging on boot up In-Reply-To: <199601161707.MAA00553@picspc01.pics.com> References: <199601161707.MAA00553@picspc01.pics.com> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Terry Rossi writes: > -- [ From: Terry Rossi * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- > > I have been having a problem with a 2.1R system hanging during boot up.

Nope. David and John's VM re-write fixed this bug in one of the FreeBSD 1.X versions, and it has been subsequently re-written multiple times for performance.

The system does not appear to recognize that the system has been installed and is asking for all the install information all over again. Can the previous install be saved? If so what do I need to do to save it? Also, when I do start the boot process using hd(1,a)/kernel it seems to start yet fails to mount root,Does this indicate that the install failed?

I believe that my modem is using compression, and interactive performance is quite good (while am having problems with PPP, not sure about the reason though; since I did not have time to investigate, I do not want to bother people on the list). Interference with already-compressed data shouldn't be too bad, possibly a loss of 10% or so (probably less: the algorithm should continuously check how it is performing, and switch compression on-off based on the results). The only reason I can think modem compression can cause problems is that the compression algorithm of the modem decides that it is worth waiting for more bytes to come, while for some reason PPP times out. Does this make sense ?

The setup is an internal 28.8 modem, crtscts and locked at 38400, all compression disabled, the pathway to the internet is through ethernet and a Pipeline 50 router/ISDN. The problem that is occurring is that it is possible to connect and transfer files, ect. successfully to anywhere on the internet, but it fails miserably if I attempt to access a machine on the local lan, or especially the machine with the modem in it. There is no routing problem, you can successfully connect and start a session, for example FTP, and transfer file listings, but it will hang if you try to transfer a file. A Web session will transfer the page (if it is short) but hang on graphics. If the file is very small, it will successfully transfer it, but anything larger than around 1-2K will result in a hung connection. (Not session, it does not effect anything else going through PPP at all) Netstat -d on the server is returning around 5,000 dropped packets, and the status is FIN_WAIT_1. Exact same results whether I use user mode PPP or the kernel one. It seems to affect any TCP service with a large amount of data to transfer, FTP, Web, POP3, ect. Could this be related somehow to Narvi's post on Overloading, perhaps in the IP forwarding layer somewhere not dropping packets properly? I have had limited success by reducing the MTU to 296, but this was never needed before, and doesn't seem like the "right" solution. All the hardware is unchanged from the when it was Linux, and the clients (mostly Trumpet and Win95 systems) are unchanged as well. Anyone have any ideas how I might solve this? (short of changing it back to Linux, please) The dialup people are getting a bit restless out there... :-) Thank you, James Robertson Treetop Internet Services From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 16 13:09:53 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA13822 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 13:09:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA13813 for ; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 13:09:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin [198.145.90.50]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id NAA01020; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 13:09:45 -0800 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.7.3/8.6.5) with SMTP id NAA01843; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 13:09:46 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199601162109.NAA01843@corbin.Root.COM> To: max@maxie.com cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: PPP servers cannot talk to local machines In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 16 Jan 1996 16:02:01 EST." <199601162102.QAA11083@underdog.maxie.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Tue, 16 Jan 1996 13:09:46 -0800 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > If the file is very small, it will successfully transfer it, but >anything larger than around 1-2K will result in a hung connection.

I would try explicitly disabling compression on the server to see if that helps.

I believe it's newer than the one that came with FreeBSD 2.1. Apache's up to 1.0.0, officially, and 1.0.1 unofficially; FreeBSD 2.1 shipped with Apache 0.8.14, I believe. There were more than a few patches between those version; maybe one of them fixes your problem. (I seem to recall a password fix being among them, but don't quote me.)

I tried the case sensitivity with no success. Unfortunately the HP doen't have a printcap, it uses the SYSV model. Any other ideas? I would be glad to give you whatever info I have. Unfortunately the Novell stuff (lan workplace, I think) just sort of shows up on computers. They layed off anyone who really knows anything about it. I can't even find any doc for the version I have which is 4.something I believe. If I can't get this to work I may try to upgrade to 5.something which is what goes on all the new systems. If all else fails I'll try putting some logging stuff into the server code so I can look at the conversation.

If that's not it, replace the lpr service with a hexdump to a file in /tmp. Then look at it relative to your knowledge of lpr protocol to see what it's expecting. Then write a C program to connect in and spit the same stuff. That's basically the next couple of steps.

My X windows works to some degree of success. I have one major problem that is the screen is shifted about a quarter of the monitor screen to the right. There is only a black border at the left side of my screen. Also, I'm not sure if this is normal but the X window screen is bigger than my monitor screen and I have to move my mouse up and top to reach the maximum screen size. I didn't see that type of problems anywhere in the docs or faqs. My specs on that card are S3-968 Chip Set and a TI 3026, 220 MHz RamDac with 2 megs of Vram. I hope you can help me.

Try this: you should have some sample ppp.conf's in /etc/ppp. I modified that, made a copy of ``simplesite'', renamed it to my isp, and changed the chat scripts as appropiate. I didn't care about security (I'm the only user) so I skipped ppp.secret. I don't use ppp.linkup, I just manually added the routes. I also don't use ppp now that I have my ethernet connection back :-) Doug White | Student, University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@gladstone.uoregon.edu | Major: Computer Science http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Eugene/Spfld BBS List Publisher From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 16 22:23:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA19387 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 22:23:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from resnet.uoregon.edu (resnet.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.159]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA19378 for ; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 22:23:34 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by resnet.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id WAA04456; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 22:23:27 -0800 Date: Tue, 16 Jan 1996 22:23:26 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White To: Carlos Augusto Capriotti cc: "'questions@FreeBSD.org'" Subject: Re: Setting up a WEB Site.

This is not a good question for the FreeBSD support forum :-) They are completely different, one SysV based and the other BSD. Linux has more disorganized distributions, but more device support. FreeBSD has a tight, well-organized distribution with an excellent ports/packages program system.

Sudden thought. Perhaps it doesn't like the 60-odd character MD5 passwords that are used by default in FreeBSD unless you install the DES package?

So what you want isn't an Ethernet packet sniffer at all, but a tty watcher. Look at the 'snp' device and the 'watch' command. Tcpdump will tell you (in exhaustive detail) exactly what's in a packet. Read the manpage and pay particular attention to the '-s' and '-x' options. As an example, 'tcpdump -vv -l -s 1600 -x' is pretty exhaustive. You will want a fast nameserver for this to be useful, try adding '-n' if you have problems with lost packets. > Phil.. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

On Solaris I can actually watch the data being received from the news pull to INN, meaning if I was fast enough (impossible) I could read the news as it comes through the feed. The same with people logging into our Livingston portmaster, I can see that they are messing around with commands that they have no access to cause I can see that they are attempting passwd hacks cause I can see the passwds they are entering at the password: prompt(normally not seen any other way) or that they are entering enable commands etc that they have no right to access. There is no watch command for this hence, the need for a Solaris type "snoop" so I can sit here and analize the data to a specific host and in raw format. I'm not professed at analizing TCP packets so if there is a peticular byte range to be watching so you see raw data receive (as said with being able to see the data received in newsgroups) and can it be specified to "tcpdump". I hope I am being clear? :-) I may be doing something wrong? All I did with Solaris was (I believe) "snoop hostname" than it would say "promiscuous mode" than off we go... Phil...

The algorithm for password checking is incorrect for MD5. Quick questions: 1.) Where is the DES package? Is it only an install time option? 2.) Is there simply a different library to link with? So I can chose between formats? By the way, I was going to rewrite the apache code for the practice with MD5.

Still when I log into my machine from a remote machine and run 'ls' my session hangs. Maybe it is something simpler, like incorrect permissions on my pty? Any help is much appreciated. Correction: I unaliased ls from 'ls -aF' to just 'ls' and it works. Now it seems that 'ls -a' does not work along with 'more' and 'cat'. Except they all work on the console.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I just installed freebsd v2.1 OS on my PC at home. Its a Pentium 120Mhz from Micron Electronics. I am running Boot Manager and Windows95, OS2 and now FreeBSD in 3 different partitions on my hard drive 1.275 M Conner Peripherals drive. I would like to dialout to my Internet Service Provider from home via modem using a PPP connection. I do not know what files need to be edited and what needs to be done for FreeBSD to recognize my 28.8 US robotics Sportster Internal Modem. And how do i dialout (commands? etc) . Do i have to recompile the kernel? or since i now have it installed how do i get it to dial out to my ISP. Where do you give it the modem speed and the phone number and other parameters so that with some commands (what commands?) issued from the shell prompt I can set up a PPP connection to my ISP and get on to WWW from freebsd. I have installed Xwindows on my box. And I think I have the PPP part taken care of though not sure if i have things done right to configure PPP. I will greatly appreciate if you could give me a step by step run down on configuring PPP and everything needed to be done for freebsd to recognize my modem and to be able to dialout from my PC to outside internet connnections. I am assuming that only then will i able to do telnet, ftp, gopher etc.??? I am a novice at all this and would like some help in this regard. Thanx in advance.

It came back up with a login Chad> prompt. The instructions = didn't say anything about this Welcome to Unix. Unix absolutely needs one user account, the system manager's account, in order to things to run. That account is named `root'. When you see the login prompt, type `root' and press return. You should not be prompted for a password. (See below if you are.) Now, this is a big security hole---the root account should always have a password, so the first thing you should do is set the password for the root account by typing the `passwd' command. Enter a password for the root account. You won't see it appear on screen to prevent people who might be looking over your shoulder from seeing it. Okay, so you've logged in as root and you've made a password for root ... now what? Make an account for YOURSELF. Never do any of your personal work as root. Only do system administration as root. So, type `adduser' and answer the questions to make an account `zoogy' or `chad' or whatever you want to call it for yourself. Then log out of root and log back in with your personal account. And have fun! If you need to do system administration again, just log in as `zoogy' or `chad' or whatever and then type the `su' command to become root. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What if you WERE prompted for a password after you typed `root'? Don't worry, you're not out of luck yet. Shut down your system as cleanly as possible. CTRL+ALT+DEL might work. If that doesn't do it, try logging in as `sync' with no password. Repeat two more times. Then hit the reset switch. When FreeBSD boots, you'll see the `boot:' prompt. If you just wait, it'll automatically boot. So, very quickly, type `-s' and press return, which means `boot into single user mode.' Single user mode is a special maintenance mode for fixing system problems. And forgetting the root password is definitely a system problem. You'll be aksed for a shell to use. Just press return and you get the Bourne shell. This shell runs as root. So type `mount -a' to get your filesystems mounted. And then type `passwd' to set a new password for the root account, as above. Then type `adduser' as above to make an account for yourself. Then type CTRL+D to exit the root shell in single user mode. This will enter multiuser mode. You'll see the familiar `login:' prompt.

The Promise docs say something to the effect of: "If you FDISK and format a drive with LBA on then it'll do LBA from then on no matter what you do with the jumper and vice-versa". This might be BS however it seems to work similar to that here. Turn off the onboard BIOS on the 2300+. The __CRASH_OF_95__ was caused by jacking with the BIOS.

Since this process is re-started each time the communications "turn around", i.e. at each window turn for ftp, these small pauses add up over a long transfer. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 17 07:34:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA16426 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 07:34:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from pride.cs.wustl.edu (pride.cs.wustl.edu [128.252.166.101]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA16411 for ; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 07:34:23 -0800 (PST) Received: by pride.cs.wustl.edu (950215.SGI.8.6.10/940406.SGI) for questions@FreeBSD.org id JAA24092; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 09:34:17 -0600 From: jxh@pride.cs.wustl.edu (James C.

I think FreeBSD is a first rate OS, keep up the good work! Now, I have just accomplished installing 2.1.0. This did not go as smoothly as I had hoped for, but I am not very particular so, that's ok. However, somewhere between reboots, /stand/sysinstall disappeared. I was planning on using it to pull down more of the distribution... (While I was wrestling with the install itself, I limited the install distribution to the minimal set needed.) [Details about why installation was difficult for me are available upon request :-).] I figured it is buried in the root.flp somewhere, but whenever I try to mount /dev/fd0 /mnt, it says: Incorrect super block.

Syscons apparently uses the "standard" fonts available in the display adapter as defaults. There doesn't seem to be a provision to "dump" the font settings in effect at any given time (i.e. an analog to the -d vidcontrol option). So, if you change any/all of the fonts in use, how can you restore the original font set? A vidcontrol hook to allow dumping the fonts would allow you to manually reload them (e.g., from a temporary file into which they were dumped). Or, a switch which reloads the default fonts (e.g., an analog to the -L vidcontrol switch).

Should I disable compression with my user-ppp; and how? A few days back I ftp'd back a *.zip file and my USR 28.8 gave me a comparitively good 3.2Kbps rate. The ``CS'' LED flashed on the modem. (I don't know why... ) I tested the transfer rate with the same file compressed with gzip. The CS light was steady and the transfer rate fell to 2.9K. To me this could mean that the EEPROM in the modem recognized the *.zip compression and let it through. And it wasn't intelligent enough to recognize the *.gz compression.

Nope. PC-NFS printing uses an nfs mount to spool files to the server, then a command to pcnfsd on the server system to print the file. You need to make sure pcnfsd is running on your printer server system, and then review the pcnfsd configuration file to make sure your printer has been configured there. -- I'd rather be sailing.

We have USR-Sportster 28.8K modems at both ends of our link, if that matter. We ran w/out modem compression for the first 6 months last year, and with compression on for the last 6 months of last year. After doing both, we are leaving modem compression on. For most of last year we were using MorningStar PPP on a SunOS4 box, but moved to a FreeBSD box after our ISP switched to a Livingston Portmaster. Having used both, I found that the latency increased *slightly* (~15ms or about 10%) and throughput for most traffic was about 25-35% better. Since most of the traffic is sent through uncompressed (we have a full-time link, and get lots of email *grin*), we decided that the extra latency was worth the extra throughput. However, the link to SRI-CA is about 300ms on a good day (a little under half of that is from our PPP link), so adding a couple percentage more latency didn't seem to effect our work. Your milage may vary, but it depends on what's important to you. I also use compression on both modems on my link at home, and I don't notice the latency at all and I *really* appreciate the extra throughput when doing non-compressed transfers, and don't notice the little extra delay with compressed files. If you have a mix of compressed/non-compressed data going over your lines, I suspect enabling modem compression is a good thing. At least I think so. :) Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 17 10:08:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA25151 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 10:08:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from ref.tfs.com (ref.tfs.com [140.145.254.251]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA25144 for ; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 10:08:21 -0800 (PST) Received: (from julian@localhost) by ref.tfs.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id KAA27607; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 10:07:20 -0800 From: Julian Elischer Message-Id: <199601171807.KAA27607@ref.tfs.com> Subject: Re: Ethernet frame types, X11R6 source removal To: jlwest@tseinc.com (Jay L.

There is, but given the amount of questions that have come up on the list and on Usenet I can draw one of two conclusions. 1) The users aren't reading the handbook (I suspect that here) 2) The handbook docs need updating. Given the amount of time I've spent recently answering PPP questions, it would be worth my while to re-write the sections on PPP/SLIP.

I understand how applying rules in a different order can change the semantics of the firewall... but can someone explain exactly how and why the FreeBSD code does this? Also, is there some method of adding the rules which guarantees the order in which they are applied? I'm willing to work on fixing it if there is a need.

Without reconfig'ng the kernel, polled is much preferrable. 2. Create a simple /etc/printcap as follows; mine's for an HP 540 inkjet (parenthetical comments for reference ONLY): # lp|HP Deskjet 540:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ (output device) :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ (spool directory) :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ (log file) :if=/usr/local/libexec/if_dj_540:\ (input filter, see comments) :tr=\f:\ (trailing string, " ) :sh:\ (suppress banner) :mx#0: (unlimited job size) The input filter (if) could be anywhere; this one just adds CR to the normal LF sequence of unix: without it, most printers will just stair-step the output, and page printers (lasers/inkjets) will truncate the line. The trailer (tr) is used when the queue empties. I found that the form feed (\f) was basically required for the HP to print properly. 3. Make an input filter similar to the following: # if_dj540 simple parlor trick to add CR to LF for printer # awk '{printf "%s\r\n", $0}' - For those of you that don't see quite what this does: every line of standard input is printed with CRLF attached. There are certainly more elegant ways of doing it, but this one avoids the approach of reprogramming the printer to append CR to LF, then having to undo it at the end of every job (unless you dedicate your printer to FreeBSD 8) ). 4.

Since I don't have any need for super-accurate time, (as wel as most folks at the end of remote links) it's not a big issue. I find that when I run ntp (once/week at the most), I'm rarely more than 1-2 seconds off. And, as you say some of that may be due to jitter.

Why is does it is because apparently getting the rules correct is error-prone, so the author decided to re-order them to make them more likely to do what was intended.

I recommend getting a PCI ethernet card - they're a few dollars more, but much better supported in FreeBSD. Something with a DEC DC21040 - like an SMC 8432 (PCI "EtherPower"), Compex PCI/ENET32, or similar clone. The 3c509 support in FreeBSD is quite shakey at the moment. The Buslogic controller is well supported in FreeBSD, but you should beware that it has a long history of not working properly with certain motherboards. This is a motherboard/BIOS problem, no a FreeBSD one. The symptom is usually that the machine won't boot anything (even DOS). None of my 946c's work with the ASUS Triton-based motherboard (the one you're suggesting above). The alternative would be an Adaptec aha-2940, but only get this if you don't mind upgrading to "2.1-stable" after installing 2.1. The driver in 2.1 has numerous bugs that will cause reliability problems. We have IDE CDROM support, but the driver is known to not work with all drives. If you can afford the extra cost of a SCSI one, I definately would recommend that. -DG David Greenman Core Team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 17 14:20:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA12977 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 14:20:13 -0800 (PST) Received: from liberty.lmig.com (liberty.lmig.com [136.184.15.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA12900 for ; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 14:20:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from [136.184.11.147] by liberty.lmig.com (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA23558; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 17:20:49 -0500 Message-Id: <30FD2FFB.5C4E@tsod.lmig.com> Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 17:20:59 +0000 From: Grady Drago X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0b4 (Macintosh; I; PPC) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: MCA Port?

Accept my apologies in advance if this breaks some of the list's rules or standards... but many of you know these matters forwards <-> backwards and can critique this expertly. What follows is a cheatsheet//quick-and-dirty outline on how to get tip working. %%% tip setup: Requires editing files in /etc/rc.serial, /etc/group, and /etc/ttys. You can probably leave /etc/gettytab alone since it is currently set to handle the max speed of the 16550A. When future UARTS allow faster speeds add onto: std.57600|57600-baud:\ :np:sp#57600: std.115200|115200-baud:\ :np:sp#115200: std.230400|230400-baud:\ :np:sp#230400: although I have no doubts that modems for POTS lines will ever allow this. If you are using a 28.8Kbps modem, to allow the greatest throughput, put this into /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" xterm on secure Or whatever is appropriate. In this example, the modem is on ``COM2'' speaking in PC-ese; ttyd1. The "xterm" can be any termtype that you will logging into your FreeBSD as. "vt100" for example. Note: Here the 115200 matches that speed in /etc/gettytabs At the bottom of /etc/rc.serial, put: stty -f /dev/ttyid1 crtscts 115200 stty -f /dev/ttyld1 crtscts stty -f /dev/cuaia1 crtscts 115200 stty -f /dev/cuala1 crtscts to insure that the lines are set to use hardware handshaking. The advanced modems use hardware handshaking whereas the older, slower modems rely on software. In /etc/remote, define the name of the remote computers that you want to call. A sample is: # Systems definitions eskimo|Eskimo BBS:\ :pn=5553837:tc=unix28800: ham288|Hambone Corporation:\ :pn=5556196:tc=unix28800: ham144|Hambone Corporation:\ :pn=5551212:tc=unix14400: netcom|Netcom Unix Access:\ :pn=5455599:tc=unix1200: omen|Omen BBS:\ :pn=5531212:tc=dos1200: The above system definitions are expanded just below in /etc/remote: # UNIX system definitions unix28800|28800 Baud dial-out to a UNIX system:\ :el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=%$:oe=^D:tc=dial28800: unix14400|14400 Baud dial-out to a UNIX system:\ :el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=%$:oe=^D:tc=dial14400: unix1200|1200 Baud dial-out to a UNIX system:\ :el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=%$:oe=^D:tc=dial1200: unix300|300 Baud dial-out to a UNIX system:\ :el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=%$:oe=^D:tc=dial300: # DOS system definitions dos1200|1200 Baud dial-out to a DOS system:\ :el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=%$:oe=^Z:pa=none:tc=dial1200: (( Note that the /etc/phones file doesn't work as it should with /etc/remote. Anybody know if this is true?? )) Finally, if you are user ``smith'', in order to use tip in your own smith account, add yourself to the `dialers' line in /etc/group. Specifically: wheel:*:0:root daemon:*:1:daemon kmem:*:2:root sys:*:3:root tty:*:4:root operator:*:5:root mail:*:6: bin:*:7: news:*:8:root man:*:9: games:*:13: staff:*:20:root guest:*:31:root uucp:*:66: ingres:*:74:ingres xten:*:100:xten dialer:*:117:root,smith smith:*:1000: nogroup:*:65533: nobody:*:65534: Assuming that your modem is correctly configured, typing ``tip eskimo'' will dial into the eskimo BBS; ``tip ham144'' will connect you to Hambone Corporation, at 14.4Kbps.

You > need to make sure pcnfsd is running on your printer server system, and > then review the pcnfsd configuration file to make sure your printer > has been configured there. Terry Lambert replied: % You have got to be kidding. % % I'm positive I set one up to use LPR protocol -- it was using a VMS % system as a host. % % Are you sure you aren't thinking of Wollongong's stuff instead of Sun's? Positive. From the pcnfsd man page on HP-UX 9.07: Printing pcnfsd supports a printing model that uses NFS to transfer print data from the client to the server. The client system issues a PCNFSD_PR_INIT or PCNFSD2_PR_INIT request, and the server returns the path to a spool directory that is exported by NFS for use by the client. pcnfsd creates a subdirectory for each client; by default, the parent directory is /usr/spool/pcnfs, and the name of each subdirectory is the same as its client's hostname. To use a different parent directory, add a line to the /etc/pcnfsd.conf file of the form: spooldir path Once a client has mounted the spool directory using NFS, and transferred print data to a file in that directory, it will issue a PCNFSD_PR_START or PCNFSD2_PR_START request. pcnfsd handles most print-related requests by constructing a command based on the printing services of the server's operating system, and executing that command using the identity of the PC user. Because this involves set-user-id privileges, pcnfsd must be run as root. Every print request from a client includes the name of the printer to be used. This name corresponds to a printer that has been configured into the line printer spooling system using the lpadmin command. [...] Reconfiguration By checking the modification time (and contents) of the file /usr/spool/lp/pstatus, pcnfsd will detect when printers have been added or deleted, and will rebuild its list of valid printers. However, pcnfsd does not monitor the file /etc/pcnfsd.conf for updates; if you change this file, you must kill and restart pcnfsd for the changes to take effect. EXAMPLES Given the following entries for the file /etc/pcnfsd.conf: printer abc lj lp -dlj -oraw printer test - /usr/bin/cp $FILE /usr/tmp/$HOST-$USER If a user on a client system prints a job on the printer "abc" the request will be sent to the destination "lj" in raw mode. If the client requests a list of the print queue for the printer "abc", the pcnfsd daemon will translate this into a request for a listing for the printer lj. The printer "test" is used only for testing. Any file sent to this printer will be copied into the directory /usr/tmp. Any request to list the queue, check the status, etc. of printer test will be rejected because the alias-for has been specified as "-". That about sums it up. If you need more information, look at the pcnfsd man page, or "use the source, luke!" -- I'd rather be sailing.

It drove me mad trying to use it. Standard command line switches did different things, the setup was all over the shop. I didn't enjoy the experience. In the end I decided that Linux is a free unix like OS for DOS users, and FreeBSD is a free Unix for Unix users. The reason that there are books out there on Linux is that the standard unix texts won't do! Having said that. Linux will also do the job you want to do. Take a look the site http://www.acgs.qld.edu.au for a school doing what you want to do with Linux. You might also like to look at the other Free unix camps, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

That sure looked handy, so, once the "2.0.5 upgrade" menu item completed, and I finished merging /etc and typed ^D to the shell (which resulted in an immediate Trap Type 15 panic, by the way, which went by too blazingly fast to read the details) and rebooted 2.1 from the disk, I decided I'd like to get back into sysinstall and do that package menu item. This didn't work, big-time. I got messages from the kernel as soon as I tried to run /stand/sysinstall under the shell, and I found no way of convincing sysinstall that my cdrom existed, though it worked fine under 2.1. Yes, I mounted it on /cdrom. (Should I perhaps have mounted it under /mnt?) I tried rebooting from the 2.1 boot floppy I'd made, and picked the labeler to mount the file systems, and then picked 'Complete partition/ labeling activites', at which point the thing tried to reinstall the system completely until I called a forcible halt to the proceedings via ^C. At that point I got to restore a bunch of merged files that had been clobbered. What's the right way to get sysinstall running again, to install packages from the menu? Sure would beat installing them by hand via pkg_add.

When we looked into it, we found both local providers we checked with charged $100-200 more a month for 56K service than they did for 64K ISDN, and the throughput is a lot better on the sync line. Also, 56K DDS is sort of a dead end, you can't upgrade it except by replacing it. With the 64K ISDN you can expand to 128K service just by paying your provider (and possibly your phone company) more a month. (Ours would charge about an extra $100-200 a month to go to 128K, not bad to double the bandwidth in one shot, and at about the same price they sell the 56K for.)

Make sure your modem cables have all lines connected. Most importantly, check the modem configuration, make sure it is sending a real carrier detect to the computer, and that it resets itself and hangs up the line when the DTR line is toggled, and that it is using rts/cts handshaking. Usaully, the modem configuration will say something like: &C1 &D2 , Check your modem manual to see what it uses exactly, and make sure that it is stored as default in the modems EEPROM. You should also have a line in your rc.serial that is setting the port speed and enabling crtscts there as well.

Can you tell me what is going wrong?

My news server has been down for a couple of weeks (and still is). The problem I am having is with Release-2.1.0 and the MSDOS file system partition. Any modification to the 'C:' drive (/dev/wd0s1) corrupts my FreeBSD root partition (/dev/wd0s2a). The info: Packard Bell 133MHz Pentium PCI, 16Mb 2.something Gbyte IDE disk (this is some kind of funky tandem drive. It has two physical drives that appear as one. I am trying to get some information about this). MSDOS on first 'partition' FreeBSD on second 'partition' The real drive is 4095 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sectors The BIOS drive is 1023 cyl, 64 heads, 63 sectors The drive came as one giant partition with Windows '95 installed. I booted DOS 6.22 and ran FIPS to split up the drive: The first track is 'reserved' DOS: cyl 0, track 1, sector 1 to cyl 442, track 63, sector 63 FreeBSD: cyl 444, track 0, sector 1 to cyl 1022, track 63, sector 63 Reported by FreeBSD 'fdisk': DOS block numbers: 63 to 1786613 FreeBSD block numbers 1790208 to (I don't remember the end) I have completely reformatted and reloaded MSDOS 6.22 (no windows of any kind) using the split disk, and FreeBSD. As you can see from the data above, I have left a few free 'cylinders' between the partitions (by creating another DOS partition). I have added a debug printf to msdos_fat.c:pcbmap() to print the cluster and block numbers. When creating new files on the DOS partition (with FreeBSD running and the partition mounted), these block numbers never exceed the starting number for the FreeBSD partitions, but the FreeBSD root partition still gets corrupted. One last error, even all of the disk rebuilds: mountmsdosfs(): root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length I built the system using controller flags 0x80ff, and the boot message indicates the driver can do 16-block multi-block transfers (is this bad?). Unfortunately, I am not PC literate, and don't understand who uses BIOS versus real disk addressing. Also (unfortunately), I need the DOS partition as part of my file sharing work. I believe I have located the FreeBSD partition at the start of both real and BIOS cylinders, just to make sure that was not a problem. The Release-2.1.0 MSDOS file system seems to work just fine with a floppy disk, so the problem must be with the hard disk mapping. I am also running FreeBSD 2.0.5 on another system with an Adaptec SCSI controller and 1.something GByte disk. The MSDOS file system works just fine there. Thanks a bunch for your help. I am looking forward to trying anything you can suggest (and will also appreciate any PC education I can get along the way). -- Dan Malek From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 17 19:54:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA05604 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 19:54:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from hoover.stanford.edu (hoover.Stanford.EDU [36.33.0.99]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA05595 for ; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 19:54:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from HOOVER.STANFORD.EDU by HOOVER.STANFORD.EDU (PMDF V4.3-10 #13307) id <01I04NDA91J400BJ0X@HOOVER.STANFORD.EDU>; Wed, 17 Jan 1996 19:55:39 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 19:55:39 -0800 (PST) From: Annelise Anderson Subject: Re: ethernet packet sniffer.

OK, Put the following entry in your /etc/disktab file: zip100|Iomega Zip 100: \ :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:rm#3600:\ :pa#196576:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD: \ :pc#196576:oc#0: Here's the script I used to prepare a zip disk for mounting: # /bin/sh scsiformat -w /dev/sd1 && \ disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c zip100 && \ newfs -Tzip100 /dev/rsd1a I put that in a file /usr/local/bin/mkzip, you can name it what you want, but make it executeable and in the root users execution path. Then just mount the disk: mount /dev/sd1a /zip Of course, you're going to have to modify the above to fit your local disk setup (my zip is my second disk, or sd1). ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

Your net is any area to which all of your ethernet packets propagate (this typically means all of the computers attached to the same ethernet as the computer in question). Generally, packets will be sent indiscriminately through most ethernet hubs unless they're specifically switched ethernet hubs, some bridges, etc. Anything beyond your router is (generally) not part of "your net". The gist of it is that in many ways, the security of your network depends in great part on the security of your weakest host -- if someone can gain access to any host on your network, they can monitor the traffic to/from all of the hosts on your local network. I'm not familiar with anything that would let you detect packet monitoring, because it's a passive thing; just make sure nobody has unauthorized root access to any of the machines on your network (programs such as tripwire, a good backup schedule, etc). > Annelise -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, How can I remove the boot manager installed during the FreeBSD 2.1R installation besides using FDISK? I asked this question here before and was told to use FDISK /MBR Unfortunately, for reasons I don't fully comprehend, whenever I try to run FDISK, the program returns the message: No Hard Drives installed! The reason I want to remove the boot manager is because it isn't recognizing my FreeBSD bootable disk. The disk is set up as the master drive on the secondary IDE ribbon, and it's partition is set to be bootable. Here is the pertinent configuration info: Pentium 75 Mhz, Intel PCI motherboard, 32 Mb RAM 1.44 Mb Floppy Drive 1: Western Digital 1.2Gb set as master on primary IDE ribbon (DOS) CD ROM: Toshiba ATAPI set as slave on primary IDE ribbon Drive 2: Maxtor 1.0Gb set as master on secondary IDE ribbon (FreeBSD only) Drive 3: Maxtor 200Mb set as slave on secondary IDE ribbon(currently garbage) Thanks for your help, Tim Kelley From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 18 06:23:55 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA09474 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 18 Jan 1996 06:23:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from cy.com (root@jake.atlwin.com [155.229.56.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA09464 for ; Thu, 18 Jan 1996 06:23:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from jake.atlwin.com ([155.229.56.35]) by cy.com (8.6.12/8.6.4) with SMTP id KAA23126 for ; Thu, 18 Jan 1996 10:21:15 -0500 Message-Id: <199601181521.KAA23126@cy.com> X-Sender: tkelley@cy.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 18 Jan 1996 09:20:11 -0500 To: questions@freebsd.org From: "Tim M.

The ATAPI CDROM is configured as the slave on the primary IDE ribbon, and the FreeBSD disk is configured as the master on the secondary IDE ribbon. This configuration works (but requires booting from floppy). I want to change my hardware configuration so that the ATAPI CDROM is configured as the master (maybe even the slave) on the SECONDARY IDE ribbon, and the FreeBSD disk set up as either the slave on the primary IDE or leave it as the master on the secondary IDE. Here are my questions: 1) Is there any reason you know of why a custom kernel with this configuration would not work? 2) Have you successfully configured your system this way?

X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Andrew Webster" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've got an interesting problem that cropped up recently, and I can't figure out why it used to work, and now it doesn't. The scenario: A FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system running NFS server A FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system trying to mount from above system What happens: The server has in /etc/exports: /local -alldirs -maproot=nobody:nogroup -network 198.168.36 -mask 255.255.255.0 The remote (198.168.36.71) can MOUNT /local, but any attempt to access it (ls, mount, df, etc) it hangs. 'showmount -a' on the server correctly shows the client having mounted the directory, and 'showmount -e vhf36' on the client correctly shows the mountpoints on the server. I can see some sort of exponential retry timeout goingon by watching the LEDS on the network card. The only way to unstick the process is to reboot the client system. To make matters worse, I can reverse the situation and correctly mount a filesystem from the "client" system! What have I done, this used to work just fine!

So I guess this answers your "my net?" question, or at least this is how I understand it. ie. you have a domain "netcom.com" (:-P), anyone of the hosts myhome.netcom.com hishome.netcom.com etcetera, would have access to confidential traffic on the network if they are on an ethernet connection to the netcom.com router and are "root" of that host. Unfortunately some people play havock with such privvied information. And as far as reading private email and stuff, well, that's blatant disregard for ones privacy. Phil.

I know that if you have the flame mode (either by -mode random, or -mode flame) up, you can just hit enough times (usually 10 or so) and it will die with a floating point exception error (not real good for security.) I think that it will do this on other modes, but I haven't verified it. I have only noticed it doing this when it generates a new pattern, not just running the old pattern over and over again. Is there any way to do a -mode random and add a flag to skip certain modes like flame? (not just for this reason) I got xlockmore-2.11b.tgz from the packages-2.1 directory. I am using FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE with DES/Kerberos installed.

Oh, it also means that the protected mode disk driver can't find the root device that the real mode BIOS boot blocks successfully loaded the kernel from. Typically, you can fix this by hacking the disklabel, which must be accessible from DOS. Unfortunately it doesn't report exactly why it can't mount root (partition ID, wrong disk if a second drive, unreadable disklabel, or disklabel absolute offsets don't refer to the untranslated location), so the above is just a "most likely" guess. Can you mount from floppy? What about trying various hd and wd and sd devices at the boot prompt? (did you install on a SCSI or wd drive, does tha machine have both types of controllers, is the BIOS enabled or disabled on the controller for the BSD disk, is it the first disk, etc.).

Did you boot from a floppy or from the hard drive? Most likely you have some type of disk translation/LBA redirector on the IDE drive (like OnTrack 6.x or 7.x).

In the say, 3 months I've been messing with FreeBSD I've seen it at least 20 times probably more. Anyway, I think I have a possible thought of where the problem is coming from. In the handbook section on compiling your own kernel, the instructions say to read through the section that outlines the different parts of the config file if you are new to unix. When you come across the npx0 device the description reads: npx0 is the interface to the math coprocessor. If you have one then make sure you've commented out MATH_EMULATE above. If you do not have a math coprocessor, you can comment this out. The last sentence seems a little on the vague side and I think many people might be confusing "this" with the npx0 device. This should probably be edited in the documentation. Just a thought.

It came back up with a login Chad> prompt. The instructions = didn't say anything about this Welcome to Unix. Unix absolutely needs one user account, the system manager's account, in order to things to run. That account is named `root'. When you see the login prompt, type `root' and press return. You should not be prompted for a password. (See below if you are.) Now, this is a big security hole---the root account should always have a password, so the first thing you should do is set the password for the root account by typing the `passwd' command. Enter a password for the root account. You won't see it appear on screen to prevent people who might be looking over your shoulder from seeing it. Okay, so you've logged in as root and you've made a password for root ... now what? Make an account for YOURSELF. Never do any of your personal work as root. Only do system administration as root. So, type `adduser' and answer the questions to make an account `zoogy' or `chad' or whatever you want to call it for yourself. Then log out of root and log back in with your personal account. And have fun! If you need to do system administration again, just log in as `zoogy' or `chad' or whatever and then type the `su' command to become root. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What if you WERE prompted for a password after you typed `root'? Don't worry, you're not out of luck yet. Shut down your system as cleanly as possible. CTRL+ALT+DEL might work. If that doesn't do it, try logging in as `sync' with no password. Repeat two more times. Then hit the reset switch. When FreeBSD boots, you'll see the `boot:' prompt. If you just wait, it'll automatically boot. So, very quickly, type `-s' and press return, which means `boot into single user mode.' Single user mode is a special maintenance mode for fixing system problems. And forgetting the root password is definitely a system problem. You'll be aksed for a shell to use. Just press return and you get the Bourne shell. This shell runs as root. So type `mount -a' to get your filesystems mounted. And then type `passwd' to set a new password for the root account, as above. Then type `adduser' as above to make an account for yourself. Then type CTRL+D to exit the root shell in single user mode. This will enter multiuser mode. You'll see the familiar `login:' prompt. Login with your new personal account and have at it! -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA --whap-- Hope this helps.

So, I took the FreeBSD machines and the router and created a small thin Ethernet network for just them. I added a second SMC Ultra to one of the machines (running 2.1.0) and configured it. I'm running bootpd on the "gateway" machine and the clients can find it and configure off of it. They can telnet to it, etc. and I can do anything I want from the gateway machine itself, but nobody can get across the gateway to the other side. I.e., a client on our internal network can't access a server somewhere on the Internet.

A TDR is an established product from a bunch of vendors, like Tektronix, and unlike a frequency domain reflectometer (?) is calibrated in either feet or meters, so you can hunt down a problem... The fact that your FDR tells you that you have a return at 20 MHz isn't going to help you a whole lot in finding an unknown tap, is it? But a cable company with a TDR is going to know EXACTLY how many TV's you have connected to their cable. A telephone company with a cut T-1 line is going to know exactly how many feet down the road the (open or short) is on the line, so they don't have to go down too many manholes. Splicing crews love TDRs. Enough on this, I'm boring people.

I need to hook up a 2nd FreeBSD 2.1R box which is about 2 miles away from the 1st box. This box should be able to run either 56k leased line or 28.8k dial on demand to the 1st box. I prefer the former permanent connection. I have sufficient IPs allocated by my ISP for additional routers etc. Can someone suggest some affordable ways, what additional equipment needed and any particular setup or changes on both boxes.

No, it only would reveal physical connections, Mike Smith was right about what he said, there isn't any way to detect a receiver. This would only detect extra cable taps that a network administrator didn't know about. And it wouldn't reveal what those taps were doing, either, just that they existed. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

If the question is whether you can tell if some ethernet card on the net is in promiscuous mode, the answer is no. You can tell if there is a break in the ethernet, or if the ethernet is unterminated, and you might be able to tell if a card is transmitting for more than one source address (with appropriately expensive hardware). But, since ethernet is a broadcast technology, you can't tell if someone "receives" a packet, because they just copy the frame from the signal on the wire.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi all! FreeBSD newbie here, have been having lots of fun so far! One major problem ( well, major for me :) ) was getting my Mitsumi IDE CDROM working ( a FX-400 I think). I've been following the question digest for a while and went back through them trying to find out how to get it working. As I've seen a lot of people with problems similar to mine I thought I'd post here what I did to get it working. Very simple really! I have two IDE drives off the primary controller in my system that has the CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM is hanging off the ATAPI controller of my el-cheapo sound card (ES866? based). No problems with the CD-ROM under OS/2 or Win '95. I had every thing OK in kernel config etc, the second IDE controller was found during boot was found but alas no CD. What didn't occur to me that you need to set an IDE CD-ROM to slave or master. It was set to slave out of the box, changed it to master and bang, there's my CD! How exciting, no more copying to my DOS partition to get ports etc, my life is about to become much easier ( yeah right :) ). Bloody simple, bloody stupid of me too! Hope this helps someone!

You just have to have some free (unpartioned) disk space -- BSD needs to live in its own area on the hard drive. I have machines that will boot into either W95, WNT, or FreeBSD.

If you read the information on building a new kernel, it suggests you refer to LINT for configuration options. The LINT mentions not once, but twice, that npx is mandatory, as follows: ##################################################################### # HARDWARE DEVICE CONFIGURATION ... # Mandatory ISA devices: isa, sc or vt, npx and # This device is mandatory. # # The Numeric Processing eXtension is used to either enable the # coprocessor or enable math emulation. If your machine doesn't contain # a math co-processor, you must *also* add the option "MATH_EMULATE". # THIS IS NOT AN OPTIONAL ENTRY, DO NOT REMOVE IT # device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr I hope that clears it up for you. If you take a few minutes to read through LINT, the whole config process should be much clearer.

When a user calls and connects to the FreeBSD 2.1 server in PPP mode, the user can ping on it, telnet, FTP, etc.; but if he tries to reach a machine outside our network, it doesn't work. It seems that the router (cisco) doesn't send back the packets.

Unless your CDrom does writes, no 8) You can frob around this, but it's tough. If at all possible, put the kernel sources on disk and do it that way. If not, it's not _too_ hard to make a /usr/src that's mostly symlinks to the CDrom. If we assume that the live filesystem CD is mounted, and you're using csh : # mkdir /usr/src/sys # cd /usr/src/sys # foreach i (/cdrom/usr/src/sys/*) foreach? ln -s $i foreach? end # rm compile # mkdir compile # rm i386 # mkdir i386 # cd i386 # foreach i (/cdrom/usr/src/sys/i386*) foreach? ln -s $i foreach? end # rm conf # cp -r /cdrom/usr/src/sys/i386/conf . # cd conf # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL # vi MYKERNEL # config MYKERNEL # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL # make;make install That (or something similar) should do it fine. > Annelise -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

Oh, no, there were a couple of posts in the meantime. All any kind of reflectometer could detect is whether an "unofficial" tap has been attached to the cable (we're talking about coax here; twisted pair has no such problems.) Nothing that I know of cannot detect whether someone has taken over a machine and changed its card to promiscuous mode, if the perp had good enough software. But then, a physically taken machine is much easier to visually inspect than some secret tap in a cabling duct. /Alby > /-------------\ > |David Meltzer| > |davem@cmu.edu| > /--------------------------\ > |School of Computer Science| > |Carnegie Mellon University| > \--------------------------/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 19 01:18:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA01283 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 01:18:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from Relay1.Austria.EU.net (relay1.Austria.EU.net [192.92.138.47]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA01272 for ; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 01:18:20 -0800 (PST) From: marino.ladavac@aut.alcatel.at Received: from atusks01.aut.alcatel.at by Relay1.Austria.EU.net with SMTP id AA02421 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Fri, 19 Jan 1996 10:17:40 +0100 Received: from atuhc16 by atusks01.aut.alcatel.at (4.1/SMI-4.1/AAA-1.29/main) id AA04378; Fri, 19 Jan 96 10:16:56 +0100 Message-Id: <9601190916.AA04378@atuhc16.atusks01.aut.alcatel.at> Received: by atuhc16 (1.38.193.4/16.2) id AA17610; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 10:16:54 +0100 Subject: Re: ethernet packet sniffer.

Something I would very much like to know, myself. I posed this very same question to the FreeBSD lists some time ago, and (at least, as far as I understood at that time) the general consensus was that this feature was not available in FreeBSD. If this has changed, though, I'd very much like to know. And, if anyone is working on it, I would be very happy to help out in the testing, etc., as I am pretty handy with a debugger, and not averse to living on the cutting edge.

Have you replaced the network interface of your router? Does your router somehow have two interfaces on your network, both answering to the same IP? The most likely cause I can think of is someone has given their computer the same IP as the router. It will be the machine with the ethernet hardware address of aa:00:04:00:bb:06 or 00:1d:10:7b:f7 if you have a table that identifies machines by hardware addresses (the other address will be the router).

Occasionally X window applications just disappear, and sometimes 'fvwm' will just freeze - won't change focus or update window borders. Both of these events typically coincide with 'ep0: Status: 2002' appearing in the system logs. When running under Linux, I got similar messages to these in the logs, although a lot less frequently, and there were definitely no problems with X window applications. The 3c509 driver is listed as 'buggy' so perhaps that is the bug - however I have since upgraded the driver to the one present in -stable (the one in -current crashed completely), and that too has the same problems. Has anybody else had these problems? Would it be possible to look at the Linux driver and crib the relevent bits to fix the problems? Failing that, can anyone recommend a good (fast) PCI ethernet card that is fully supported under FreeBSD 2.1.0-R? cheers for any help David -- David Hedley (David.Hedley@bris.ac.uk) http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~hedley/ finger hedley@cs.bris.ac.uk for PGP key Computer Graphics Group | University of Bristol | UK *** All opinions expressed are mine and mine alone *** From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 19 04:32:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id EAA12119 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 04:32:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.131.171]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA12113 for ; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 04:32:43 -0800 (PST) Received: by fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA26895; Fri, 19 Jan 96 06:32:42 -0600 Received: by emu.fsl.noaa.gov (1.38.193.4/SMI-4.1 (1.38.193.4)) id AA07761; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 05:32:42 -0700 Date: Fri, 19 Jan 1996 05:32:42 -0700 From: kelly@fsl.noaa.gov (Sean Kelly) Message-Id: <9601191232.AA07761@emu.fsl.noaa.gov> To: dbaker@crash.ops.neosoft.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199601190041.SAA04552@crash.ops.neosoft.com> (message from Daniel Baker on Thu, 18 Jan 1996 18:41:30 -0600 (CST)) Subject: Re: Netscape, etc printing on HPDJ Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "Daniel" == Daniel Baker writes: Daniel> Are there any known ways, as I've tried lpr, etc, like it Daniel> suggests in the handbook, but it appears to be the text of Daniel> postscript or something.

I copied over the distributions from the ftp2 mirror site into C:/freebsd/... A couple of things: 1. In your instructions for preparing for an MS-DOS partition installation, you mention copying the "DISTS" over. If you're getting your files from ftp, there is no "DISTS" label on any directory. Within the RELEASE directory, there are a number of subdirectories, but it isn't readily apparent that those are the "DISTS" nor is it easy to tell which "DISTS" you need to pull down to put into C:/freebsd for your particular installation configuration. If I had alot of disk space I'd just take it all. 2. Another suggestion would be to put the "DISTS" into single compressed files rather than the way you laid out the /bin directory with 40 or so bin.?? files and an install.sh. Also, the tar commands in the install.sh are none like I've ever seen before and they don't work either (--unlink??). 3. I'm also getting the following error with the floppies/root.flp file: DEBUG: Request for floppies/root.flp from DOS /stand/cpio: cannot remove current : Is a directory gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file And the installation program message box: * Failed to load the ROOT distribution.

There may be, depending on your jursidiction and context, legal restrictions on using promiscuous mode, or legal consequences of having a machine with BPF in it get broken into and thereby giving someone else access to promiscuous mode. In the context of a company, there may also be a corporate policy on the use of promiscuous mode. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Not exactly great for security. Plus, you can see where packets are coming from and where they are going, so you can see that your boss browses www.playboy.com in his spare time, for example. Basically, it's a privacy issue. Great for debugging, but also for peeking in on what other people are doing.

Compare the size of a group of zipped files and the same files archived with tar and gzip. The compression algorithm is the same but gzip and tar will make the archive much smaller. In any case, compressing the file with software is much more efficient than relying on the modem compression alone. The only time that modem compression is a big advantage is when data is in large packets and cannot be compressed. Otherwise, it usually makes only a small difference. Some file transfer methods with small packet and window sizes (older uucp implementations) can slow down significantly with compression turned on.

BNC > connectors are easily visible even though they are loaded with a > matching load. I took this to be a low draw capacitive tap rather than a tap requiring an insulation break. The high impedence would make for a large relaxation time on the combined LC-tank circuit. Such an arrangement would be very hard to detect unless you ran cable with a much higher than necessary frequency response for ethernet, and ran your detection equipment at a much higher frequency than your standard traffic. Then you'd see a nice capicitive charging effect in the case of a tap (or adjacent cables, in some cases), but unless the frequency differential was very high proportional to the cable length, you'd only get a very general idea of where the tap (or adjacent cable) was located. If someone is going to go to this much trouble, then they are probably intercepting the EM from your monitors to read your screens anyway and you probably have your own spooks dealing with the problem of having a spy in your shielded building.

The problem I now have pertains to logining in. I currently get an error message as follows(this is't exact except for the mountd[76]): login: time and data stamp, mountd[76]: Cann't mountdbtab then I get another login prompt. Is there an error on my system? Is something trying to mount that is needed to login? Who should I login as? Is there a superuser and login password that I should be using to initially login? What is it? How do I create users if I cannot get initially logged in? Once logged in, how would I create users? Do I need to start the install process again from the floopy,there was an item to create users? I know these are probably very basic questions, please forgive me. I'm a student and right now trying to use this as a learning experience and who know what else in the future. How can I FTP a set of files instead of doing one at a time? I could then get the handbook and all the FAQ's. Thanks again for all who responed, I hope I can get the OS running this weekend, create users, get the ppp running and to be able to dial into the system and connect to a ppp line. I also eventually would like to setup a web server, ftp, telnet etc... This system seem to have unlimited potential.

I want to add to Kelly's bit earlier... apsfilter is a wonderful package for doing this. It doesn't have an explicit 560c driver, but there is a 500c and I think a 550c driver in ghostscript. apsfilter is a package available in the usual places, also has some info in the Handbook, I think.

I've got FreeBSD running on 3 different laptops. The IBM 750C, 755CX, and a NEC Versa P/75. Of all the machine I find the NEC the nicest and works with FreeBSD the best. It comes with 8MB standard, an 800x600 active-matrix screen, a sound-blaster clone, and it simply runs very well. The IBM's are very nice too, a bit more rugged, but tend to be a little bit non-standard. Apparently IBM is coming out with more standard laptops now, notably the IBM 365. I've also heard about some new versions in the works which are going to be using the PCI bus. For compatability I'm very impressed with the NEC. For ruggedness, you can't beat a ThinkPad if you don't mind having to do a little extra work to get FreeBSD working on it.

Hmm, yeah, it was nice from the application level too, like simply pushing the "connld" module to do multiplexing. I hear M.J.

I perhaps spoke a bit too strongly. STREAMS (which some people at research now call ``sewers'') is a sort of nice idea for character devices like keyboards, terminals, and other slow input devices. It is a really, really bad idea for network stacks, because of its bad buffering model and inappropriate interfaces. (Somewhere in this mess I call my ``office'' I have a paper by Van Jacobson and Someone Else where STREAMS earns an entire paragraph on the weakness of its buffering model.) Most people, when they say they would like to be able to use STREAMS stuff in the kernel, really mean, ``I've got this crawling horror STREAMS-based DECnet Phase IV stack that I'd like to get working so I can throw out this old Interactive box.'' This is not to say that the BSD socket code is all that wonderful for network development, either. (Indeed, some say it's a wonder we've managed to squeeze this much performance out of it.) However, for networking, STREAMS is a step in the wrong direction. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I have one small problem. I can't seem to ftp through our firewall using the freeBSD install ftp client. I have tried several things and read the docs over and over, but don't seem to get anywhere. The only helpful info I have is that, our internal gateway is different than the external one. (ie. the proxy is not my default gateway for tcp/ip.) Using netscape on my NT machine I can anonymously ftp if I set "proxies" to have our proxy server's address and port 8080. In the BSD docs, it says to add 8080 to the URL (ie ftp//:foo.bar.com:8080/pub...) what IP address (ie foo.bar.com) should I use? I tried the url of the mirror site, no luck. I tried the address of the proxy server (which I figured wouldn't work, since the BSD dist isn't there....) and it also didn't work. I tried using the proxy server's address as the gateway and that also didn't work. However I know it is possible to get out through the proxy... Any suggestions?

Garrett will probably answer too, but your analogy fails. The file system stacking works by using a call vector table for the top end of the FS, and percolating call vectors up from the lower layers for null layers in the current layer. Which is to say, it has minimal overhead. In Streams, the upcall/downcall mechanism can't easily "collapse" empty layers to get similar efficiency. This leads to large latencies in Streams, while the stacking vnode interface only adds overhead for interfaces that actually do something, not just pass the call on. Streams is typically scheduled to run just before a process exits the system call trap code back to user space after a system call, with several additional preemption points where streams will preferrably run. But each layer traversal requires Streams to be scheduled to run, so a traversal of a full TCP/IP stack with an underlying DDI/DKI driver at the stream tail can take upwards of 6 or 7 preemption points to actually run. There has been some work on "monoblock" protocol implementations, where you have a single module with promiscuous knowledge of interfaces internally that exports multiple stack interfaces. For instance, I could have a single module that exported TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, and RIP interfaces, but internally used non-Streams techniques to communicate between layers. This work is not very practical for more than a couple of high performance Streams heads, with everything built on top of them (the code reuse argument that semi-justifies streams in the first place) suffering the same penalties as usual because of the use of ordinary streams interfaces. The closest work to a stackable vnode architecture has been X-Kernel, though it has its own problems of stack implementation availability... it works, but there's very little to run. Probably, it would take kernel threading and pseudo-RT scheduling class support to make much of the latency go away. Then, on top of that, you would probably want to pass around data pointers rather than copying data into an mbuf when crossing the user/kernel boundry. This adds the mapping complication of not having the caller process context at the time Streams is actually run, so you would have to establish fixed kernel mappings for pages, and the user/kernel boundry crossing would seek to establish a translation for the fixed mapping address. So the primary utility for streams is for use of stack drivers from commercial sources and for the simplified developement environment (justified if you consider Streams stacks to be prototypes rather than production code.

Until I changed my notebook's OS to Win95 I had an NFS client on it and could mount drives and print happily. I've lost that facility now and would like to use Samba instead. The situation is slightly complex since I only have 1 real IP address. This I use for a PPP connection to my ISP. The Ethernet port on my deskside machine has address 10.0.0.2 and on the laptop 10.0.0.3. The deskside machine does NOT run DNS. '/etc/host.conf' tells the machine to check my hosts file first, so resolution of my bogus IP addresses never hits the 'Net. I have built and installed the samba port without difficulty. There is no sample smb.conf, but I have created one, following the man page. Here it is [global] hosts allow = 10.*.*.* browseable = yes auto services = jb hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv [jb] path = /home/jbrann/nfs writable = true browseable = yes 'testparm' tells me it is OK. Here is the brief output: bash$ /usr/local/samba/bin/testparm Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf Processing configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" Processing section "[jb]" Loaded services file OK. The basic networking on the laptop is OK. TCP/IP runs fine (I can run my X-emulator). When starting up Win95 the network login dialogue appears, as expected. I enter my user name on the FreeBSD machine, the appropriate password and it's hostname as the 'Domain'. The result is a failure - Win95 says 'No domain server was available to validate your password'. Looking at the log produced by 'nmbd' I see the following messages: 01/20/96 16:20:29 netbios nameserver version 1.9.14 started Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1994 Using IP 10.0.0.2 broadcast 10.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0 bind succeeded on port 137 bind succeeded on port 138 01/20/96 16:20:30 Failed to find a master browser for * using 10.255.255.255 which look OK, up to the last line. If I try to mount a network drive through the Win95 file manager - using '\\10.0.0.2\home\jbrann\nfs' as the Path, I get 'The computer or sharename cannot be found' I'm stumped. I've tried a number of variations on the commands above, with the same results each time. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I've tried to give a fairly full picture of my problem.

The 3c509 is supported in the ep0 driver, which is undergoing some review right now but should be OK for your needs. Plug and Pray is not supported, but that is easy to fix -- just disable it in 3c5x9cfg, find some values that work for you, and plug into boot -c or when you recompile your kernel.

It does run well - the mmdf 4.2 with SCO does DNS fine - but there are compiler issues with freeBSD and all I really want to know is what version bsd is freeBSD I guess... if 4.3 is antiquated or whatever then what is it the equivalent of?

I have two network interfaces (ppp0 using kernel ppp, and an Ethernet card. If I attach a PC to the ethernet card (using a crossover), the PC cannot see the ppp connection, or anything past it (i.e. the Internet). Similarly, anything on the Internet cannot see past the ppp IP. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks -- Stephen ______________________________ Stephen Couchman | scouch@io.org
