Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I love working in X. What I don't love is that many of my favorite console-based programs don't look good in the stock xterm, color_xterm, or rxvt. For example, try running editors such as JED or JOVE, comm programs such as Minicom, or system tools like pkg_manage in one of these type windows, you'll see what I mean. Uneven highlighting, weird treatment of background/foreground/whatnot colors, and generally screwball behavior. So, I ask: is there a better xterm-like program that more faithfully displays console-based (i.e. syscons) applications? OR, is there a way of configuring or playing around with Xterm/rxvt/etc. (possibly X configs, or termcap entries, or whatnot) to make such character-based apps look better? Any help gratefully appreciated. THANKS!

Because of this I get routing problems when some comes in from that portmaster on a machine that doesn't know the arp. My Internet Router (a xyplex) will broadcast a redirect telling the machine that the IP coming in is for .31 so the machine learns a route that'll direct that IP to .31, which since it doesn't know the arp address a bogus gateway is defined and all traffic after that doesn't get there. :( Any ideas first why some machines are not learning Portmaster ARPS while others seem to be just fine? I even tried configuring my xyplex to route all assigned IP traffic to my .26 Portmaster (the first one I got), but even then .26 doesn't seem to be learning routes and the traffic for some portmasters will then bounce back and forth between WRONG portmasters. (this might be a different problem, but I wanted to mention it incase it's related). Please note, this routing problem was asked by my unix admin about 2 weeks ago and no reply has yet to be given... Your prompt action on this would be very helpful. If you need access to the system or the portmasters let me know and I'll adjust passwords accordingly.

If so how can I get the FreeBSD-Current. I'm glad I asked you to reply to the net, because I have scsi cdroms, and I don't really know how to do the ide cdrom dance. There are three ways to get freebsd-current. One is incredibly bad, and the other two work fine. The obvious method, ftp'ing directly from a mirror site, is a horrible way to do it. The reason is that current is a moving target, that is broken very often. If you get it via a direct ftp, then you don't have an easy way to get updates, and when things don't work (and the chances are very high they won't, the first time) then you're kinda screwed. The other two methods are via sup (for those directly net connected) and ctm (for those, like me, that dial in). Both work great, and are described in the freebsd handbook.

And I try to install the OS to my machine, but It hunged. First I made the boot floppy on the other machine, then tried. Kernel booted and I can see the all of the messages from kernel, then screen is became black and cursor is blinking at the left bottom corner. What wrong? My machine is 486DX2 66MHz and additional only 2 cards. one is standard VGA card and other is SCSI card. SCSI card is Adaptec AHA1542CP. When the machine hunged, I push the SysRq key, I can see "DEBUG ioctl(3,TIOCCONS, NULL)=0 (success). the after couple of minutes, I can see sd0(aha0:0:0) timed out. Cannot be used this 1542CP cards?

I'm connecting with ppp to my ISP and I only have one IP address for my gateway. The local machiens are setup on a 10.1.1.??? network. All them achines can telnet to the gateway and then telnet out, however I want each machine to be able to use programs like mosaic to the outside world. I need to change the packets that come through the gateway to reflect that they should come back to a certain port and then be forwared to the machine behind the gateway. There is a nifty litle program in Linux I think that will do this, however I would like to show my Linux friends up, and get it to work with FreeBSD. If anyone knows if there is a freebsd utility to do this, will you please write me, other wise if anyone has done this in the past will you send me your config files, so I might be able to figure it out on my own!

Problem solved! It *was* the missing link (to coin a phrase) route that was the problem. IE, my backbone uses 165.90.138.x, and there was no 165.90.138 link#1 route. It was pointed out to me that this 'default' route gets put in only from the ifconfig of the interface. So I re ifconfiged the interface and bingo all the missing arps appeared. I suspect the system, before it learns an arp address, has to be on the same network as that arp address and the link#1 route must be telling it this. Soon as I did the ifconfig command, every device that's connected showed up in the arp table. Now, the reason why the link#1 route was missing is a different story, but suffice it to say that's been fixed too. :-) Thanks for the help on this one!

West" Subject: Help!!! Severe PPP problems Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks a MILLION for all who have responded thus far. I missed some of the mail replies though. We upgraded to 2.1 this weekend and the major problem of the 'ppp -auto provider' grabbing the whole cpu seems to have disappeared. There is one other problem that remains and I have done a lot of work to isolate exactly what happens. Hopefully this will give particulars so others here may help. The last problem we're having is with iijppp and routes. FYI- we're running 2.1 on a 486dx4/100 with 16mb RAM. The machine has an ethernet card (ed0) for our local network of workstations (199.217.203). There is an ISDN iijppp connection to our upstream provider (199.217.191.65 -> 199.217.191.9). When an iijppp user dials in, the ips are assigned based on the tty device (199.217.203.40 (us) to 199.217.203.xx (them, range 41-48)). Gateway behavior (forwarding) is turned on. Here's my sysconfig, ppplogin script, ppp.conf, and ppp.linkup. The link to my provider is brought up via 'ppp -auto provider' and 'ping -c1 199.217.191.9' in /etc/netstart. Here's my /etc/sysconfig lines: network_interfaces="lo0 ed0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ed0="inet 199.217.203.1 netmask 0xffffff00" ifconfig_tun0="inet 199.217.191.65 199.217.191.9 netmask 0xffffff00" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's my iijppp login script (dial up users have this as their login shell): /usr/sbin/ppp -direct `tty | cut -d/ -f3` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file (phone number, id and password removed): default: disable lqr deny lqr set timeout 900 provider: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set phone xxxxxxx set login "TIMEOUT 10 gin:-BREAK-gin: yyyyyy word: zzzzzzz" set timeout 0 set ifaddr 199.217.191.65 199.217.191.9 ttyd2: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.41 255.255.255.0 ttyd3: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.42 255.255.255.0 ttyd4: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.43 255.255.255.0 ttyd5: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.44 255.255.255.0 ttyd6: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.45 255.255.255.0 ttyd7: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.46 255.255.255.0 ttyd8: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.47 255.255.255.0 ttyd9: set ifaddr 199.217.203.40 199.217.203.48 255.255.255.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's my /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file: provider: add 0 0 HISADDR ttyd2: ttyd3: ttyd4: ttyd5: ttyd6: ttyd7: ttyd8: ttyd9: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, with that out of the way, here's the problem...

However, if the user disconnects abnormally (ie, his system crashes or he just turns off his modem, or he disconnects while receiving data) the phone line hangs up but look at the resulting routing table: bsd# netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 199.217.191.9 UGc 20 210 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 142 lo0 199.217.191.9 199.217.191.65 UH 21 1 tun0 199.217.191.65 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 lo0 199.217.203 link#1 UC 0 0 199.217.203.22 0:c0:a8:28:63:8 UHLW 2 920 ed0 330 199.217.203.41 link#1 UHLW 1 24 224 199.217.191.65 US 0 0 tun0 Note the 203.40 has become link#1, the flags have changed from UH to UHLW, and the tunx device is gone. If a user dials back in on this port, the route stays as above and he can log in but not get out tun0 to the Inet. If I do a 'route delete 199.217.203.41' the route will disappear but will then suddenly re-appear about 30 seconds later (with no user dialing in at all). The only way I have found to correct this is to do a 'route 199.217.203.41 delete' exactly just before they dial in. Then the route gets added correctly and if they exit correctly it will disappear and stay gone. If users exit normally the above configuration works great. Incidentally, if I do a 'ping 199.217.203.99' (there's no such system on my class C) a link#1 route like above appears, but it disappears in a minute or so and stays gone. I'm not sure if this is related. Users who connect and disconnect normally work just great. I copied the above routing information 'after the fact' so the refs and use fields may not be exact but the rest is. In case it is germane, this system is running name services (primary for the tseinc.com domain, primary for the 199.217.203 in-addr.arpa net) and no routing protocols are being run. I hope this gives enough information for someone to help us out. Any input is MOST appreciated. THANKS! Jay L.

The manpages aren't detailed enough and the FreeBSD handbook portion which describes the mailing system has not been completed yet by the people at Walnut Creek. I have a PPP connection to the internet which seems to be working fine. I am allocated a dynamic IP address when I connect and I am basically able to use all my internet client software such as ftp, telnet, etc. By telnetting to my host at UConn, I found my IP address at the time of the connection and sent a mail message to my FreeBSD machine "katya.jnsm.com" you will see in the log file. The message was both bounced back at me at my UConn address and left with my root account on FreeBSD instead of being sent to the appropriate user. My users seem to be able to mail each other locally, but I am still getting some kind of configuration error as follows in the transscript. Thank You, J.

It might be because majordomo creates a bunch of sendmail processes to deliver the message. If you had a large mailing list you might see this behavior. I modified the sendmail switches used in the /etc/aliases entry for each of the mailing lists that I ran. I included the '-odq' switch for sendmail. This switch is your friend. Each sendmail process will queue its mail to be sent later and exit. You can then have your tradition -q1h process come along and send mail in a serial fashion rather than a parallel fashion. (I used -q30m to speed things up a little). Sendmail consumes a lot of resources, and if you have too many simultaneous sendmails bad things will happen. Later!

Great, now update to -stable now and the remaining problems willl go away, and you will also be heading off some problems you haven't yet seen. You are now seeing the infamous 'arp' bug, which is fixed in all newer versions of FreeBSD after 2.1R. Get the stable bits (or at least a newer copy of /sys/netinet/in_rmx.c) and life will be good.

Red Hat 2.0 or greater does come with a web server, I imagine that Slackware 3.0 does as well, since it came out after the web became hot.

I have found a tantilizing hint in your src/lib/libtelnet directory. The file spx.c located in that directory refers to entry points such as gss_init_sec_context and it includes the file "gssapi_defs.h" which I cannot find on the 2.05 CD nor on your WEB sight. It appears that this file (spx.c) may have been left in that directory inadvertently. Can anyone tell be where it came from, or more to the point, where I might find the implementation of the routines it calls such as gss_init_sec_context?
