There was no record of anything in /var/log/messages or on the system console. Then, today, I reinstalled linux_lib-2.0 and now it doesn't crash, but instead I get this error message: > ./gzip: can't load library '/libc.so.4' ldconfig -r doesn't show it, so my ldconfig path could be wrong. It is the default set in the rc files, since I didn't change it. The strange thing is that after I learned how to use modload and what module to load, I tried booting with my old 2.1 kernel which I had also configured with COMPAT_LINUX and LINUX_COMPAT. I tried running the same binary (gzip - QMAGIC) and it worked. In fact doom even worked for a couple of seconds until it stopped and told me "..unable to allocate shared memory.." - although I have plenty of RAM (over 32M). However, I do like the new kernel, and I would really like to get it working with the linux emulator. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at the address below.

It turns out that doug white was right when he surmised that the card was an ne2k clone. The reason i was not able to visit it was due to the fact that the port addr had been set to 0x240. A fellow on comp.dcom.lans.ethernet sent me a diagnostic program for my weird chipset (UMC um9003af) and it reported where the address was set. So ed0 returns the address now and all that happy stuff. I do, however, keep getting timeout messages when i boot the machine, and when i shut down, I assume they are getting issued all the time, but that they are just masked out from the console, since i dont login as root. Why is this happening? how can i fix this? Ultimately, i would like to be able to visit the /dos partition of this machine from my win31 machine . What do folks use for this? can u run the windows apps found on that disk on the second machine? i have added the nfs and router and gateway stuff back into my kernel, based on what is in the lint config file. I have also changed sysconfig to yes where it asks about the pcnfs daemon. The nfs and pcnfs stuff now shows up when i boot. I understand that samba is not suitable for this, since i have neither lanman or wfw or w95. i am assuming that i need to use the 10.0.0 net for my machines, so i have the freebsd box as 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.2 upstairs and the ifconfig_ed0 has 10.0.0.1 as the address is this the right idea? i have also configured /etc/exports: /dos -alldirs 10.0.0.2 any corrections or pointers to good docs would be appreciated! tnx! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 14 12:34:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA09160 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Apr 1996 12:34:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from absolut-zero.winternet.com (root@absolut-zero.winternet.com [198.174.169.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA09155 for ; Sun, 14 Apr 1996 12:34:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tundra.winternet.com (austin@tundra.winternet.com [198.174.169.11]) by absolut-zero.winternet.com (8.7.5/8.7.5) with ESMTP id OAA09643 for ; Sun, 14 Apr 1996 14:34:53 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from austin@localhost) by tundra.winternet.com (8.7.4/8.6.12) id OAA19132; Sun, 14 Apr 1996 14:33:10 -0500 (CDT) Posted-Date: Sun, 14 Apr 1996 14:33:10 -0500 (CDT) Date: Sun, 14 Apr 1996 14:33:09 -0500 (CDT) From: morbid_t To: questions@freebsd.com Subject: important 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 don't know if you got my previous emails, but here is one if you dindn't.

I have a Buslogic bios, v1.20k (pci to scsi adapter), and nothing is found upon boot (as far as i could tell) except for fdc0, fd0, and fd1. As far as the error message, it says this: "No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem." What do I do next? I tried diabeling devices una0 and aha0 (being that they were in conflict with the 0x330 memory addresses), but I really have no clue. That was just a guess that didn't work.

Please delete all but the appropriate list, or just reply directly to me. Basically, I have a small lan in my house, and I'm converting from Linux over to FreeBSD (2.1R). I have a static IP address from my provider, and wanted to set up on-demand PPP so my wife can get on the net any time without having to start anything herself. The problem seems to be that the system insists on having the PPP link up before it will allow any traffic. Even "telnet 127.0.0.1" blocks until the PPP link is established. My first attempt followed the examples in the /etc/ppp directory. This resulted in the behavior above. After trying with no success to tweek that configuration (the closest I got was that it would work normally until the first time it connected), I went by the configuration in the handbook. After tweeking the second configuration for a while I got to the point where no traffic was blocking, but it would bring up the link for no apparent reason. So, I started blocking services for dialing, and when I blocked everything I thought could be happening, it still dialed. So I blocked everything, and it still dialed. I suspect my filters aren't set up properly :-) Anyway, is anyone successfully using dial-on-demand PPP on a machine also attached to a local network?

I've been trying for the past week or so to get this to work right, but seem to be missing something really subtle. When a user connects to one of my machines, we can bring the link up properly, ping the machine and whatnot, but for some reason or another, any other machine on my local network seems him as: 205.150.102.200 link#1 UHLW 0 3 The actually machine he connects to has a route that looks like: 205.150.102.200 205.150.102.51 UH 1 468 tun0 Now, I figure I could probably install a static route on the other machines to compensate for this, but I don't think that this is the proper solution. I'm running routed -s on both machines, if that makes any difference? And I have gateway enabled. Is there something obvious I'm forgetting to do from this? My ppp.conf has a set ifaddr /24 as just about the only entry in that file: default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 57600 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\ \T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" disable lqr deny lqr disable pred1 deny pred1 adrenlin: set ifaddr 205.150.102.51 205.150.102.200/24 set timeout 600 # add 0 0 HISADDR Marc G.

You can grab it from: ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/plan-1.5-static.tgz Just use pkg_add on it, and it'll install everything under /usr/local/plan with the man files in /usr/local/man/... The port and my porting notes are in: ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/plan-1.5-port.tar.gz I didn't know where everything should be installed; the defaults didn't seem to conform to FreeBSD installations. There were some example holiday files, documents, scripts, and more than one executable. So I put them in /usr/local/plan/(bin,lib,docs,misc,examples). I need a little port guidance here... Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is plan? ------------- Plan is a schedule planner based on X/Motif. It displays a month calendar similar to xcal, but every day box is large enough to show appointments in small print. By pressing on a day box, the appointments for that day can be listed and edited. Appointments are entered with the following information (everything except the time is optional): - the date, time, and length of the appointment - an optional text message to be printed, - an optional script to be executed, - early-warn and late-warn triggers that precede the alarm time - repetitions: [n-th] weekdays, days-of-the-month, every n days, yearly - optional fast command-line appointment entry - flexible ways to specify holidays and vacations - extensive context help - multiuser capability using an IP server program The action being taken when a warn or alarm time is reached is programmable; by default a window pops up. In addition, a program can be executed, or mail can be sent. Other methods of listing appointments (today, this week, next week, or a keyword search for regular expressions) are also available. Plan can be configured to display times in 12-hour or 24-hour formats, mmddyy and ddmmyy date formats, and can show either Monday or Sunday in the leftmost column. Three view modes are supported: one month, one year, one week, and a 365-day vacation planner. The week and vacation view plots appointments as colored and labelled bars in, and allows other users' appointments to be included. [...] --------- plan is Copyrighted by Thomas Driemeyer, 1993-1996.

I was wondering if I should have ordered FreeBSD instead? Do you have an opinion as to which is better? Here is some background/planned usage: I have a 166Mhz Pentium from Gateway with 32 MB of RAM and plenty of disk space for a complete install. I plan to install Unix (whichever on is best) on my D: drive which is a 500 MB partition on a 2.5GB drive. I am running Windows' 95. I do not have an direct Internet connection but plan to connect through a PPP line at my place of employment. I am a software engineer and will use this OS to do some X/Motif development. Given this information, which OS do you think I should choose?

Seems you have not installed the system sources. if so, 1) mount the CD, 2) cd /cdrom/dists/src 3) cat ssys* | tar xvzf - -C /usr/src 4) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. make your own kernel ex:xxx, by copying from GENERIC, do a config xxx, cd ../../compile/xxx, make depend all install. It installs the new kernel ready for booting.

I know the old server software works great, because I'm currently testing Netscape Communications Server as an alternative to NCSA httpd 1.5.1 (which I installed a week or two ago, and discovered was extremely buggy), and it appears to run very well (slightly faster, and certainly more robust.) When it comes to running a web server, especially as an ISP trying to support a wide audience of users, I would always select BSD over NT. If you need NT file sharing support for 95/etc users, you might want to take a look at the Samba networking package (the install program gives you the opportunity to set this up, and if not, it should be available as a package in the networking subtree of the packages directory on ftp.cdrom.com). Using this setup, my users sabe their .html/etc directly to their home directory using Netscape Gold, and it instantly appears on their web page, no ftping, etc. A lot of people here suggest Apache, and I would agree that if money is an object (and it often is :), Apache would be preferable because it is free and offers much the same functionallity. I don't know, however, if it supports administration by means of the Netscape client, though.. The Netscape servers offer this very nice feature on all their servers, I think. But if you're running a BSD-style server, I'm sure you can handle modifying a text config file instead :). I use Apache on two systems I admin, and have been very impressed by its performance and quality. I still plan to run Netscape Communications Server as it is free for me since I am affiliated with an educational institution (CMU).

First: there are some funny codes in your email, I was wondering what email package you used, and whether you knew if it uses RTF or etc. I'm curious about what the codes are produced by, as I have seen them in quite a few emails/posts, and they probably get inserted by some common mailer that I don't use :). With regards to your question -- I would personally invest in "Unix System Administration Essentials" by O'Reilly and Associates (publisher). Release 2 if possible. It is a really good book that covers most everything one would need to know. As a dos user who was thrown into Unix sysadmin without warning, and had to support a user base of 300-400 in two weeks time (that was 3 years ago) it was kind of a shock. :) Fortunately BSD came preinstalled (BSDI in this case, which is a commercial flavor of FreeBSD) and I had a tech support number, but it was a long road with no help. Take a look through the FreeBSD handbook on www.freebsd.org, keep in mind the "man" command which provides some limited information about the purpose and incantations of a command, eg., man ls man man etc. Also, use the "more" command to view the config files in /etc, they gave me a feel for what does what in unix just by virtue of seeing a lot of the settings. so: cd /etc more * might help. Press space to go down a page, q to quit at any time, and :n to skip to the next file. If this is too basic, my apologies :). Keep in mind that unix, being multi-user, is heavily oriented around mediating system resources and services, and that will show up a lot in anything you do on the system -- eg., file rights, user communication, etc. Feel free to email me (and presumably questions@freebsd.org) with questions you have :).

Yes. I have mine working. It turns out that for some reason the hosts.deny file is not getting referenced. The answer is to put all the rules in the hosts.allow file.

The card supports four IDE devices on a primary and secondary port. Currently it is setup with an IRQ of 14 and adress of 1F0 for the primary and an IRQ of 15 and an address of 170 for the secondary. I have two hard drives on the primary port and a Sony CSD 760E CD-ROM on the secondary port. After a minimal install on the hard drive, during boot up the first time it found the wdc0 and wdc1 ports with the correct IRQs and addresses. But it was looking for the scd0 @ 0x230 which it did not find. So I used the Userconfig utility to change the scd0 address to 170. It still did not find scd0 there and it could not find wdc1 anymore. After I set scd0 back to 230 (and rebooted ofcourse) it still cannot find either wdc1 or scd0. It does find both hard drives OK though. How do I get it to recognize the CD-ROM? Thanking you in advance for your prompt help. Mansur Khan.

I assume that "SureStore" is a marketese word for the HP C1533A. You should be able to check that from the messages printed on booting. From your initial description I wasn't 100% sure that you were really backing up and restoring on the same drive, but the rest seemed to indicate that you were. If more than one drive is involved, the rest of this message may not apply. Basically, the message is telling you that your tape data is blocked at 65536 bytes per blocks. I don't really understand this, since you didn't ask for that, and by default tar blocks with 20 "blocks" of 512 bytes, or 10240 bytes per block. On the other hand, I've never used a 1533 on FreeBSD, and 64K blocks do make a lot of sense on HP DDS drives (they're significantly faster like that), so it could be that somebody has given you 64K blocks anyway. The only thing I don't understand is why 'tar t' works and 'tar x' doesn't. In any case, try: tar xb 128 files ... The 'b 128' tells tar to read blocks of 128 512-byte "blocks". That should work. If it doesn't, let me know what it says. ------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Lehey LEMIS grog@lemis.de Schellnhausen 2 Tel: +49-6637-919123 36325 Feldatal Fax: +49-6637-919122 Germany From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 15 09:59:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA06311 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 09:59:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gw3.pacbell.com (gw3.PacBell.COM [129.245.2.24]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA06306 for ; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 09:59:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from clrober.cbs.pacbell.com (clrober.bsrn2420.PacBell.COM) by gw3.pacbell.com (5.x/PacBell-10/18/95) id AA02637; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 09:59:10 -0700 Message-Id: <9604151659.AA02637@gw3.pacbell.com> Date: Mon, 15 Apr 96 10:03:09 -0700 From: Carol Roberts Organization: Pacific Bell Advanced Communications Network X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1 (Windows; U; 16bit) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Questions Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I would like to download FreeBSD to floppies using one PC and then load it onto another PC.

First off let me just say that I am very impressed with FreeBSD and have used in to implement a number of large projects, including this one, in preference to Sun. The system is a Pentium PC with IDE HD, IDE SyQuest, Mitsumi CD Rom, 32Mb RAM. It is FreeBSD 2.1, with a recompiled kernel, removing NFS, SCSI etc. Most of the unused binaries have been removed from the system. The problem is I have a C program, that runs as user operator, with UID 3. I need this user to be able to modify some files in /etc, so I have a sh script that should run suid root. This script is simply #! /bin/sh # cp /usr/local/proto/weekly /etc/weekly cp /usr/local/proto/daily /etc/daily cp /usr/local/proto/security /etc/security ... Plus more of the same This script is called on exit from the C program. The sh script is owned by root.wheel and has permissions -rwsr-----. So that it 'should' suid to root as it runs, unfortunately this is not the case, and it runs with uid 3, the operator. How can I get this (or any) shell script to run SUID root??

Mostly, profound thanks are due (and acknowledged) to Bob Beaulieu << bobb@netcom.com >>. Bob and I spend hours over the weekend, comparing files, set-ups, and possibilities. Turns out that the main part of the problem was that my sendmail.cf was missing four or five lines that told sendmail how to deliver local mail. I watched the trace as `sendmail -v' tried to connect to my nameserver, etc, etc. But the real light dawned when I diff'd my file against Bob's. I got my sendmail.cf from a friend/user of NetBSD who has his system connected directly to the net via ISDN. That may have been why the ``local part'' of the ruleset was missing in his version. That's only a guess. The short of it is that things work _mostly_. In time, when I've gathered enough courage, I'll set it up so that sendmail delivered either via IP or UUCP. .... A final observation here is that this:: the net, mailgroups or mailing lists; this small virtual slice of reality that we've all cobbled together is such a major win! What a plus this is... ---Several years ago when I was running a commercial Unix on my 286, I reported a bug fix by email and asked how soon they would be sending me back a fix. I got back a one-liner from somebody: ``You've got to be kidding.'' That summarizes the differences in philosophy and possibilities better than anything that I could write up. gary From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 15 11:15:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA16611 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 11:15:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from caau.ca.br.np.els-gms.att.net (caau.ca.br.np.els-gms.att.net [199.191.128.166]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA16598 for ; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 11:15:14 -0700 (PDT) From: /G=David/S=Sandel/DD.ALISA=SANDELD@mhs-emerson.attmail.com Received: from mhs!emerson by /C=US/AD=ATTMAIL;Mon Apr 15 18:13:51 -0000 1996 Received: by /C=US/AD=ATTMAIL/PD=EMOTORCO;Mon Apr 15 13:13:10 -0500 1996 Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 13:13:10 -0500 Transport-Options: /STANDARD/RETURN Original-Encoding-Types: ASCII Disclose-Recipients: yes P2-Originator: mhs!emerson/G=David/S=Sandel/DD.ALISA=SANDELD (Sandel, David) To: questions@freebsd.org (o=attmail/dd.id=) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi There --- I have everything setup to install from a DOS partition on a PC.

Gary: It's a semantic distinction between "secure server" and "secure service". It's likely that if you have a mchine with credit card data on it, you would want "secure server" as well as "secure service". Personally, I think it's just plain common sense to have a secure WWW service offered on a machine with all other ports switched off and/or firewalled from access.

You can use "ktrace", which is obnoxious to use. Sean Eric Fagan has implemented a working "truss" that doesn't require all of the "dump file/undump file" crap. If you are tracking a problem that causes a machine crash, ktrace is pretty damn useless for finding the area of the code causing the crash because it doesn't provide sufficient feedback, and the data which would be useful after post-processing is lost in a kernel buffer when a crash occurs.

Proof-of-concept working; it didn't do a lot that it would need to do. (Admittedly, most of what needed to be added was just bells-and-whistles, but some of it was absolutely necessary.) And since it requires kernel changes, and procfs changes, that are not yet ready, it's not available. I've been working on the dos emulation support the past week, instead of the procfs stuff I'd expected. (But the procfs is a largish project, and I am taking my time to make sure I do it as close to right as possible. I doubt it'll be in 2.2, but it should be available shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, hopefully the dos emulation *will* be in 2.2.) Sean.

So a drive larger than 1024 Mb with only one partition will have clusters of 32kb. I did three partitions in my 2.0 Gb HD, two of 512mb each (with clusters of 8kb) , one of 1024mb (with clusters of 16kb) Now I can see all partitions without any problems ( and I saved a lot of space , in a 32kb cluster partition you usually waste about 30% of the space, usually :-) The AFTER is simple I changed sd0 in sdsx (with x=1,2,3) in my /etc/fstab /dev/sd0s1 /mnt/win95 msdos ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sd0s2 /mnt/games msdos ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sd0s3 /mnt/data msdos ro,noauto 0 0 I my humble opinion when the HD had only one partitions with 32kb cluster the entire partition was not a multiple in length of 32kb , but I really don't know ... :-) But why it crashed is a mistery ...

You'll probably want to consider installing sudo or converting the file to perl and running it with sperl (suidperl) or tperl (taintperl). suid shell scripts are considered to be inherently insecure due to numerous way in which they might be spoofed via aliases, environment variable, and custom-built chrooted environments. writing a "wrapper" in c which uses a system() call to run the script -- compiling that and setting the resulting binary SUID is the classic workaround to the problem. However this is also considered to be of dubious value by most security analysts that I've talked to. (Please note: I don't consider myself an expert in security -- I'm simply echoing somethings that I've read. I'd suggest the USAH -- _Unix_System_Administration_Handbook_ by Nemeth, Synder and Seebass, and O'Reilly's _Practical_Unix_Security_ by Garfinkel and Spafford (don't buy that one right now -- the second edition is due out any day now and it should be under the new title: _Practical_Unix_and_Internet_Security_).

Just make sure you select the right disk, and DON'T install the Boot Manager from sysinstall under any circumstances. Use the OS-BS Beta manager instead, which is available from where you got FreeBSD (ftp, cdrom). OS-BS can deal with Ontrack Disk Manager.

Although this is made by Sony, if it hooks into your IDE controller it does not use the Sony proprietary interface, which is what scd supports. Use the ATAPI.FLP as the boot floppy image.

The modem we got with the LX was a relabeled Megahertz, and we bought a 3Com 3c589. If you use 10BaseT only, it's pretty cheap; the 10B2 tranceiver is big bucks.

I had the whole week off anyhow; my baby girl was being born. (Add Bailey Joanna Peters to the user's list, age 0.02 years. ;^) I experienced several lockups during periods of disuse with the 2842, replacing the 1520 prevented the lockups. I've heard that updating to -stable or -current will solve this problem. True? In order to benchmark the performance, I decided to build an identical kernel using my 1520 and the 2842. The kernel build times were nearly identical. I should interpret this data as: 1- Both host adapters can max out my (14 ms) SCSI disk, but the 2842 will give me lower overall system load; I've spent my money wisely. 2- The 2842 is no faster than the 1520; I've just wasted $250. 3- Something else that hasn't penetrated the fatigue poinsons building up in my brain. ;^) I believe the answer should be #1.

The present msdosfs code does have problems with certain DOS filesystem configurations. Large DOS partitions, particularly (but not necessarily) those on which FIPS has been used, typically cause the sort of problems you were experiencing. Other configurations, however, work much better ... as you've found in your case by experimenting. You should find that the new partitions remain usable. 8) -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 15 14:35:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA09620 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 14:35:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from itsdsv1.enc.edu (itsdsv1.enc.edu [199.93.252.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA09612 for ; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 14:35:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dingo.enc.edu (dingo.enc.edu [199.93.252.229]) by itsdsv1.enc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id RAA01328 for ; Mon, 15 Apr 1996 17:35:01 -0400 Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 17:39:14 -0400 (EDT) From: Charles Owens Reply-To: Charles Owens To: questions list FreeBSD Subject: HELP!: page fault (revisited) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Folks: I'm still having trouble with page faults, and it seems to occur when I create users. Some more background: I set up a msqld database to contain user info. User's fill in a Web form account application that dumps into the database. An operator can then pull up the application data (using a different Web interface) and process it if desired. The whole thing is built using Apache, mSQL and perl scripts. (The mSQL database engine itself is running on a separate FreeBSD box which doesn't ever crash.) The actual unix account creation is handled by a hacked version of the stock adduser perl script. The modified adduser (I call it ypadduser) works with NIS and the quota system. This is what it does: Add new user entry to /var/yp/master.passwd from /var/yp - make -DNOPUSH create new user directory, etc. quotaoff -a edquota -Pprotouser -u newuser quoton -a After last user is created: from /var/yp - make (pushing to NIS sub servers) quotaoff -a quotacheck -a quoton -a That's basicly it. It seems that the system is rock solid most of the time, but if I use the above scripts to create users I seem to always have a crash. Here's the lastest syslog output from a crash: Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: fault virtual address = 0x0 Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: fault code = supervisor write, page not present Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf0180745 Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: current process = 12698 (mail.local) Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: interrupt mask = Apr 15 16:19:27 itsdsv1 /kernel: panic: page fault Apr 15 16:19:28 itsdsv1 /kernel: Apr 15 16:19:28 itsdsv1 /kernel: syncing disks... 22 22 20 14 7 My system (ASUS P100) has 64 megs RAM and ~160 megs swap space spread accross two drives.

You don't want to, although I think some comments have been added to the appropriate location in -current. Try a boot manager, like OS-BS.

It's considered insecure (as SUID shell scripts can be used to run arbitrary programs as their owners). It's disabled in the kernel somewhere. So, you have a few options: 1. Write a wrapper program in C. I'm no expert on this, but it can be done. 2. Write the program itself in C. Watch out--if you do calls which execute shells, they can possibly be subverted, I believe (via the IFS shell variable). 3. Write the program in perl. Perl offers a suid mode which reads and interprets the suid bits (change the header to #!/usr/bin/suidperl ). It offers security which the shell scripts don't, and in addition, has a rather paranoid "taint" concept that is designed to keep you from accidentally shooting yourself in the foot (and giving away root). It's pretty easy to use, if you're used to using perl. In the above case, it's possible to set your system up so that it will make all the shell cp calls safely (or even from a C wrapper). I'm not wholly familiar with that, through (there's a perl script which will write wrappers I've seen, but it doesn't seem to have the environment variables set right). bryan Bryan K.

Well you could get the raw data with tcpdump (which is part of the distribution), although it would be a bit cryptic. Perhaps someone knows of something that would process the output of tcpdump into something a bit more readable.

Details: I discovered a need to run 'expect' on one of my FreeBSD systems (well, I could have run a longer expect script from one of my Linux boxes, had it rlogin/telnet to the FreeBSD system and do it all via remote -- but ....) (For those unfamiliar with it 'expect' is a utility by Don Libes that is built around the TCL libraries and provides scripting for interactive programs. Basically I need to create and maintain a large number of "dummy" account and password combos -- and the perl crypt function can't generate FreeBSD md5 hash/encrypted passwords for me -- but 'expect' seems to have much broader utility for driving interactive programs through scripts (especially cronjobs)). As I grabbed the latest expect (ftp.cme.nist.gov) I noticed that the TCL/TK included in FreeBSD 2.1 is out of date -- so I tooled over to ftp.smli.com (it's been moved from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu where it used to reside) and grabbed tcl7.4, and the three patches (there are beta's for 7.5 if y'all are interested) and tk4.0 (there are beta's of 4.1) and those patches. After my initial configure and make I did a 'make test' (tcl) and found that it failed with a floating point exception. Grepping about reveals a short patch in 'porting.notes' -- so I extracted this (cp porting.notes freebsd.patch; vi freebsd.patch) and rebuilt it. 'make test' is happy. The make install from /usr/local/src/tcl7.4 doesn't overwrite /usr/local/bin/tclsh. This is documented. I mv'd tclsh to tclsh7.3 and made a symlink for tclsh to tcl7.4. On to tk (not necessary for this application but let's build it right -- expect wants to find tcl and will look for tk and build an 'expectk' if it find it). Be sure to untar all three of these packages from the same directory (such as /usr/local/src) since tk looks for ../tcl7.4 and expect looks for ../tcl* and ../tk* for .o and .a files. Also don't do your 'make clean' until you've built all three. I don't run X locally on that system. Exporting the DISPLAY to my local workstation and running the tk test suite reports a number of non-critical failures (might be the X Server on my local workstation -- it's an *old* slackware -- I hardly ever use X -- that that only for Netscape and the occasional xterm). That done I moved on to expect itself. This is version 5.19. ./configure and make seemed to go fine. The test suite (which Don says is not complete in the README/INSTALL) ran without complaint (on the first try no less). The only other odd note: On my Linux boxes the sizes of each of the binaries for tclsh, wish, and expect are all less than 10K. The corresponding binaries on the FreeBSD box are all over a hundred K (expect is over 200K) after stripping. 'file' reports these as demand paged dynamically linked. I suspect that some other optimization or compiler switches are needed to bring this down. Conclusion: These three related utilities compiled with relatively little trouble under FreeBSD. The one 'gotchya' is the need to patch tcl for the floating point error and the (as yet) unexplained test suite failures from tk. If I knew how to properly make a port -- I would. If someone wants to enlighten me on this process I'll be happy to learn. (If someone just wants to do it, and investigate the tk errors and look at the floating point errors to see if any changes to the FreeBSD source tree are indicated -- that would also be cool). If someone who's better gcc and optimization in particular wants to tweak the makefiles for performance and size -- even better. I would recommend to the core team that they update the tcl/tk in the main distribution -- and that they consider adding expect to the toolkit. In fact -- they may want to add DejaGNU (the FSF regression automation tool which I've heard is built around 'expect'). (Note: if this should have been posted to a different list -- please let me know. It is my intent to post some rough notes, in this fashion, for each tool that I add to my FreeBSD distribution. If I just grab a port and it builds cleanly -- there won't be anything to say).

Hmm .. yes but there are a couple of things that you need to be aware of.. look in /etc/syslog.conf. You will notice that some things goto the console like: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console and that some things goto whom-ever is logged in as root like: *.err root *.notice;auth.debug root *.alert root So if you are not loggin in a root, the messages should be going to the console... which _should_ only be ttyv0 .. if it is also going to the rest of the "consoles" then you probably have another problem. Read the syslog.conf manpage and make the changes necessary. Don;'t forget to "kick" syslogd with: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid` -branson PS I have included my syslog.conf... I log every thing seperately, and you may find it useful. Especially if your machine becomes a centrally logging host.

Ok. You need to build a kernel with 'options DDB' in it, and when you get the debugger up when it faults, use the 'trace' command to see where you are. If you can, do this two or three times, and make a note each time as to where exactly the fault occurs. If it's always in the same place, copy down the _entire_ trace output and forward it to the list, along with your kernel config and what you're doing. > The modified adduser (I call it ypadduser) works with NIS and the quota > system.

Make sure your quota files are in the root directory of the filesystems that they represent, and that you have no quotas on the root filesystem. I believe that there are still outstanding bogons in the quota code that could be your problem. I'm not sure what incentivation you could offer to the relevant developers to push them as an issue. > Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu -- ]] 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 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

I assume that when the system was configured, it found the insert card and used it, now, (even though the new prot should be the same, it is getting confused (??)... Is there a way to reconfigure the ports, without reinstalling the whole thing? BTW- I should tell you know, that the instal disk does not work, when ever I try and boot with it, I get some sort of error, and the machine restarts (I put in another 8megs temperarily, and it worked) Also,sinse I installed via.

I'd also suggest that you review your security policies and implement some rules (no one should log in as root -- anyone who su's to root should run 'script' to record their whole su session, that sort of thing). This would be a good time for your intern to learn about backups and restore/compare procedures. It is very easy to remove files by accident (regardless of OS). Some OS' nag you with a million confirmations for every little thing (Windoze) -- and all users learn to hit "yes" to everything (net benefit: nil). Some OS' have a two stage deletion process (delete/remove followed by purge/salvage/commit) (My personal favorite -- problem: filesystems run so close to full so often that the purge/salvage timing window can be very small) Unix forces you to learn good habits (especially backups and a number in the "type slower and double check" variety) and strongly support the adoption of system policies (mount everything "read-only" as often as possibly -- and only su and remount when absolutely necessary). I like the chattr/lsattr (advanced attributes feature) in the ext2fs filesystem for linux. I've heard rumors that some other filesystems on other *nix' have similar features. In particular there is an "immutable" option that prevents anyone (root included) from modifying a file in any way. Basically I am now in the habit of setting that flag on all my /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, and similar files. Thus, even as root, I can't remove, overwrite, chown, chmod, or otherwise damage any of my system files. It doesn't add any security to speak of -- but it does offer my users a level of protection from those nights when I'm here too late (after way too much coffee) and from the occasions that my boss or my Netware supervisor (the only other with root access to these systems) have to make "just one quick change" (which they won't do unless I'm nowhere to be found -- and it's an *emergency*). So, can we get similar support for FreeBSD?

Agreed -- as long as I can switch to a particular console to see them, rather than having them interrupt my work.

West" Subject: dump/tape problems Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On 2.1-stable, we just installed an HP C1533 SCSI 4mm dat. To test the setup, I did a 'find / -depth -print|cpio -ovc > /dev/rst0' and then a 'cpio -it < /dev/rst0'. All looked great. However, I'd like to use the dump command. So... I did a 'dump 0uf /dev/rst0 /' and all appears ok, but within 3 minutes or so it says 'mount volume 2'. This seems strange to me, as the lowest capacity possible with the drive is 2gb and my entire hard drive is 1.6gb (I'm only using about 300mb). What am I doing wrong? On a slightly different topic; I jumpered the drive to do hardware compression without host control. I did this because I thought freebsd might have problems sending commands to tell the drive to do compression. If I change the jumper to host controlled hardware compression, how does freebsd know whether to write with compression or not (hopefully under operator control)? I've seen other unix variants that use different device files for this. What's the fbsd equivalent? Any help or pointers appreciated!

This worked fine for about half a day, and then it stopped. I don't think I'd changed anything other than the logging options (which I was trying to turn off because I didn't understand the logs anyway) but I cant get it to work again. I dial in and the login script part works fine, ppp starts, I authenticate OK and the server says "Greetings!!!", then a few seconds later the modem hangs up and i get a link dead message. If anyone has any ideas or if the ppp.log would be of help to anyone....

If you do in fact have an older model of the USR 28.8 (the chipset has an id with 007 in somewhere, you will have problems. From the USR's that I've worked with, there is a problem with connecting to other 28.8's as the older USR uses V.FC instead of V.34. If you establish a V.FC connection, the first bit of line-noise will drop your connection. This is because of the way that the V.FC protocol works. You can upgrade your modem to V.34 for about 29.95 from USR or if you want, you can spend a couple of dollars more and get it upgraded to 36.6. Call USR for details. They'll take your credit card and mail you a chip to drop into the modem. Note though, I've been waiting almost 3 weeks now for a few of these upgrades... -jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 16 07:21:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA14524 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Apr 1996 07:21:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fw2.turner.com (ilock.turner.com [198.81.230.32]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA14517 for ; Tue, 16 Apr 1996 07:21:29 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike.Smith@turner.com Received: from smap@localhost by fw2.turner.com via smapdV1.3 id KAA23870; Tue, 16 Apr 1996 10:21:21 -0400 Received: from ccmailout.turner.com by interlock.turner.com for via SMTP (smap V1.3) id sma023781; Tue Apr 16 10:20:59 1996 Received: from ccMail by ccmailout.turner.com (IMA Internet Exchange 1.04b) id 173aeab0; Tue, 16 Apr 96 10:28:59 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Tue, 16 Apr 1996 10:18:01 -0400 Message-ID: <173aeab0@turner.com> Subject: Which OS?

The simple answer is "it doesn't work like that". If you look at the "world" target in /usr/src/Makefile, you'll see that it in fact just invokes a whole lot of other targets: + world: hierarchy mk cleandist includes lib-tools libraries tools + @echo "--------------------------------------------------------------" + @echo " Rebuilding ${DESTDIR} The whole thing" + @echo "--------------------------------------------------------------" + @echo + ${MAKE} depend all install + cd ${.CURDIR}/share/man && ${MAKE} makedb For those of you who have not delved into the dirty innards of make, this is pretty much equivalent to + world: hierarchy mk cleandist includes lib-tools libraries tools depend all install This means "to make world, make in sequence all the targets that follow the colon (:)". In particular, cleandist removes everything (this is why you can't interrupt a make world and resume where you left off), and at the end it performs a make install. > Is this possible?? OriIs there a better way of achieving this?? Right now I > am primarily concerned with -stable, but I would also like know if this > procedure would need to be different on -current. I haven't explored all the ramifications (and people tell me there are some which might bite me), but in my nightly cron jobs I just do a 'make depend all install'. In your case, you might get by with a 'make depend all', leaving the 'make install' for later.

I then processed 25 or so new users (which is usually more than enough to cause a crash) and everything seems to be working fine! Maybe this _was_ the problem. So, this begs the question: Is it bad to run edquota while quotas are enabled?

This port I'm releasing uses Green threads and is robust enough to recompile itself correctly. Installation ------------ 1. Grab ftp.javasoft.com:JDK-1_0-solaris2-sparc.tar.Z. 2. Grab freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk10.tar.gz. 3. Untar the solaris binary distribution. 4. Move aside bin/ and untar the FreeBSD distribution. 5. Install the pdksh port. Running the JDK --------------- If your JDK directory is rooted at , you need to set 1. your path to include the /bin directory 2. CLASSPATH environment variable to .:/lib/classes.zip 3. LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /lib/i386 Then to compile a java program, invoke 'javac program.java'. To run it, use 'java '. Status ------ This port is kind of flacky and I hesitate to release it, but it does meet my long-stated criteria of being self-hosting. The problems are related to the kludgy work-around I used to get around not having weak symbols and dlsym(RTLD_NEXT). The pthreads port does not have this problem, so the next release may use that instead, but I'm leaning towards fixing up the underlying operating system rather than working around it. The next release will come when I get appletviewer to work. How you can help ---------------- We could use a full-featured dlsym() which understands RTLD_NEXT. Weak symbols would help a lot too. There are people already working on the linker, so please coordinate with them if you decide to go work on this.

I think 4096 would be plenty (that's 8 meg of real ram that it uses off the top of the system--no swap is used for those). You can do a netstat -m and it give information the mbuf clusters in use.

We're migrating all shell logins (and everything else) to the FreeBSD machine, so getting this fixed would be a Very Good Thing. :) I haven't checked to see if other terminal emulations do this. Could this be a 'feature' of the FreeBSD port of pico? -Dave Andersen ----- forwarded message from one of my users ------ I did a raw capture on the data coming down the line to my terminal. It appears that shell is padding the positioning commands in the vt100 emulation with spaces, whereas the terminal emulation from terra is not. In other words, the pico menu at the bottom of the screen on terra is built simply by the appropriate ANSI command strings. There are no space characters sent between the ^G in inverse video and the ^O. It only sends the proper positioning commands. shell, on the other hand, writes out the ^G, then sends a BUNCH of spaces, then outputs the ANSI commands for the next menu item (^O), then more spaces, etc. So, in essence, shell seems to be putting out two to three times more data than terra to write the same screen. Perhaps this is just the vt100 emulation? ----- end forwarded message ------ -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

Any strong opinions on either OS? > Michael, I have used both (and Solaris and SunOS among others). My opinions on this are simple. If you want to put up a secure internet (ftp, www, mail, DNS, and/or NFS) server: use FreeBSD. FreeBSD's TCP/IP code is more stable and robust, and the filesystem and disk drivers are seem to offer better performance. If your primary purpose is for a desktop workstation for general purpose, interactive use: use Linux. Linux is more "bleeding edge" and offers excellent performance for locally run applications (probably better memory management -- but less portable). In addition there is very broad support for diverse hardware and lots of people banging on it (thus lots of people to ask when you get stuck). A lot of "cool" stuff is written for Linux or ported to it (like Wolfram Research's "Mathematica") and the Caldera Netware/IPX client support package. As FreeBSD adds the ability to run Linux binaries this will be less of an issue (though some of the "cool" stuff is in the form of kernel patches or requires "cutting edge" features from the kernels). However all of the basic tools are available for FreeBSD and everything follows standards much closer. Also the FreeBSD distribution (there is only one) is better integrated than most Linux distributions (of which there are a plethora). If cross-platform support and stability are important (i.e. you want to run this on a Mac or a SPARC) try NetBSD. If you want to run a free OS on an Alpha or a MIPS and stability is of secondard importance -- you might try the Linux ports to either of those. Ultimately it depends on what you want to do with this particular box. Any of the free *ix clones is fine for learning Unix (FreeBSD probably has the edge there since it is "more standard" in it's default disk layout, boot cycle, disk partitioning/labelling terminology, and kernel building procedures). Two things in the UI that I prefer about FreeBSD: Scroll Lock actually gives me a scrollback buffer (what!?! a function bound to a key that's labelled intuitively -- ahh! must be a subversive plot!) (now if there was some way to dump the contents of the scroll buffer into an editor with just a couple of kestrokes) The -config option when booting the kernel through BootEasy allows me to selectively enable and disable parts of the kernel -- so I can get the system up -- even with bad hardware conflicts -- and have a really good idea which kernel drivers I really need to build in. Things I prefer about the Linux UI: Very flexible virtual console support (loadkeys, select/gpm, etc). The extended filesystem attributes in the ext2fs filesystem. (Particularly the 'i' "immutable" bit and the "append-only" flags) make config (and make menuconfig) to walk through kernel configuration (vs. remember with directory those kernel files are stored in anyway). Linux always comes with bash -- on FreeBSD I have to go fetch it and build it. FreeBSD's concept of "ports" and a tree of make files and diffs that get a free package from its "home ftp site," applies any FreeBSD patches and does the build. I like the concept -- I'm not sure the execution is there for me (and I can guarantee that the docs aren't -- maybe its just me -- but I don't get it).

I recently aquired several P75 machines also with Endeavor MB that I also loaded a similarly configured 2.1.0R on. the problem is that I can't get the Ether card to work correctly in 100BaseT mode. the symptom are: - the cards work fine in 10BaseT mode - in 100BaseT mode the cards seem to receive network traffic [tcpdump shows lots of packets on the wire] - in 100BaseT mode if I try to ping another host on the local net I can see the arp request go out on the link, the correct route gets cloned in the routing table, and the correct MAC address is stored with the route, but no IP packets go out on the link. seems to be some kind of transmit problem. has anyone else seen this? suggestions and/or solutions?

Why not? You can use it as a status display as long as you keep it open. When you close it, the storage used by its state is freed, and so you can't switch to it anymore. This is the technique used by sysinstall to show debugging information on the second console. If you leave a getty running on it, you can still write to it and use it as a status display, and because the getty keeps it open, you can read the status even after it's closed. Note that there's nothing wrong with leaving the getty on - it won't redisplay its prompt unless you type at it... -- ]] 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 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

For (just about) every port in the ports tree, there is a corresponding package that is pre-compiled and ready to go (i.e., no need to mess with fetching/compiling/installing). You just run pkg_install on them, and you're off. Sounds like that is what you're after. I prefer the ports tree because I can tweak the configurations to my liking, and still be sure the port compiles cleanly because it's automatically patched to compile on FreeBSD...

It's "no buffer space available". Do you use NFS heavily? If so, that could be your problem. There are a variety of bugs in NFS that causes it to hang the machine when used heavily. Casual use seems to be fine, it's only when multiple processes start accessing files that it becomes a problem. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 16 19:53:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA28027 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Apr 1996 19:53:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dfw-ix9.ix.netcom.com (dfw-ix9.ix.netcom.com [206.214.98.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA28020 for ; Tue, 16 Apr 1996 19:53:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from (sbhaskar@ix-rnwk4-21.ix.netcom.com [204.32.198.149]) by dfw-ix9.ix.netcom.com (8.6.13/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA09571 for ; Tue, 16 Apr 1996 19:53:39 -0700 Date: Tue, 16 Apr 1996 19:53:39 -0700 Message-Id: <199604170253.TAA09571@dfw-ix9.ix.netcom.com> From: sbhaskar@ix.netcom.com (swaminathan bhaskar) Subject: Problem with floppy To: questions@FreeBSD.org Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi BSD Guru's, I mounted the floppy device using the following: mount -t msdos /dev/fdo /tmp/floppy The diskette was a dos formatted disk with some ".tgz" files. when I execute the following command: cp /tmp/floppy/*.tgz /usr/tmp I would get the following messages: fdc0: input ready timeout fd0c: hard error reading from 288 (No status) I keep getting this message quite often.

In that case, they probabaly aren't busted. Hmm. My next guess is to do with disk geometry. How did you create the FreeBSD partition, FIPS :-\ or FDISK?

Whenever I start PPP on the client side I recieve an error message which states the following: pppd: 2.1.2 started by root, uid 0 pppd: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa0 pppd: input: Unknown protocol (80fd) recieved! It then connects without further problems. Under Linux the Unknown protocol (80fd) can be corrected by loading the bsd_comp.o module: it's a ppp compression module. Is there an means of loading compression under FreeBSD?

I beleive that I have my disk geometry set right and my partitions labeled well. The trouble is that now that I have installed it I cannot get it to boot up. When I start my PC I direct the system through the boot manager installed by BSD. I choose to boot up BSD. The screen reads. " Booting wd(1,a) / kernel @ 0x1000000" I then see the PC scroll the hardware it senses on the screen. finally it scrolls " changing root device to wd1a " " panic: cannot mount root" ... and then the computer reboots. I think there is something special I need to type at the " boot: " prompt. Is that correct? I have read several BSD news postings that discribe similiar problems, and that prompted me to make sure my geometry and partitions are set correctly.

Since the system can be installed by ftp - you only need the boot (and root?) floppy images to boot and start the process. If you are on a slow / flaky link, you might consider loading from a DOS partition / tape / floppies (ugh). In that case, you'll need at least the 'bin' distribution (binaries). The man pages 'man' are pretty much compulsory. If you want X windows you'll need the XF86312 directory, etc, etc. See the FAQ / Handbook at www.freebsd.org for installation info.

THere was even a version of 1.1.5.1 that ran on MCA using ABIOS for some theings and a native SCSI driver for others! I could dig out the references for you, but you could didg them out of the list archives yourself just as easily. The current (4.4 based) version of FreeBSD doesn't support MCA at all, but it would be on the order of adding PCI support to make it work, either using the existing MACH code, or using some other approach.

That was what I needed up doing when I started suspecting hard drives. Move the suspicious one to a seperate bus, and if it *still* gives problems, it becomes easier to narrow down. In my case, I moved my Connor drives to one bus and my Quantum to the other, and when the bus with the connor drives on it locked up, I had a pretty good idea that it was one of the two Connor drives that was shot...got rid of the bad one of those (which is currently in its own machine...) and the machine has been running reasonably quiet since *knock on wood* Marc G.

I suppose you could try UCB (Computer Science Department). CSRG's closed down, but somebody probably distributes the stuff. The last time I heard, they were selling the tapes for $1000. Be prepared to show your UNIX source license. You'll also need a VAX to run it on. Seriously, forget 4.3BSD. It's obsolete, costs big bucks, and by default it doesn't run on modern machines. You'll be in a lot better shape bringing your embedded product up to date.

JB> I have a static address (through the same ISP as Barry...:-)), but even that JB> has no impact on my /etc/sysconfig. Right. Personally I use "10.0.0.1" as a default until I start ppp ... but that's not important. The important bit is an error in the handbook! I don't have FreeBSD here in my office so I have to qoute from memory. In the chapter about ppp it says, that you have to do an "ifconfig" for the serial line. If you use dynamic addresse, this is wrong! When I first installed ppp I did exactly as described in the handbook, got a connection and then there was just silence. I had to examine every incoming and outgoing packet to trace the error. Say, you ifconfig the modem port with x.x.x.5 --> x.x.x.1 At ppp startup the server gives you e.g. address x.x.x.7 Then all the packets are _still_ sent out with x.x.x.5, but the server you connected to sends all the packets to x.x.x.7 ... and your machine will throw away all incoming packets. So DON'T do an ifconfig in /etc/sysconfig unless you get a static IP number. -Walter Disclaimer: On the other hand, maybe I'm just stupid and missed something obvious in my intallation ... -- Walter Hafner_____________________________ hafner@forwiss.tu-muenchen.de FORWISS Muenchen, FG Kognitive Systeme, Raum O-134, Tel: 089/48095-220 R)etry, A)bort F)reebsd ? *CLICK* From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 17 00:29:07 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA02263 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 00:29:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ritig1.rit.reuters.com (ritig1.rit.reuters.com [199.171.195.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA02258 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 00:29:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ritig4.rit.reuters.com by ritig1.rit.reuters.com; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/14Sep94-0947PM) id AA31265; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 03:31:57 -0400 Received: from mr.rit.reuters.com by RITIG4.RIT.REUTERS.COM (PMDF V4.3-10 #7805) id <01I3MTM1QA34001PF3@RITIG4.RIT.REUTERS.COM>; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 03:29:25 -0500 (EST) Received: with PMDF-MR; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 08:28:47 EST Mr-Received: by mta REOA.MUAS; Relayed; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 08:28:47 -0500 Mr-Received: by mta REOA2; Relayed; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 08:28:46 -0500 Mr-Received: by mta RITIG4; Relayed; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 08:29:21 -0500 Disclose-Recipients: prohibited Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1996 08:28:47 -0500 (EST) From: Andy Smith Subject: FreeBSD 2.1, Formatting of SyQuest drive To: questions@freebsd.org Message-Id: <2447280817041996/A02637/REOA2/11A48A1C2E00*@MHS> Autoforwarded: false Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Importance: normal Priority: normal Sensitivity: Company-Confidential Ua-Content-Id: 11A48A1C2E00 X400-Mts-Identifier: [;2447280817041996/A02637/REOA2] Hop-Count: 2 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK, After must trial and deliberation, I give in:-( Can you please help with the following..

Problem 1 - On install the system reports the EZ135 as being 270Mb, rather than 135Mb, it reports 1024 cyl rather than 512. I have overcome this by manual intervention, but is there a proper work around?? Problem 2 - How do I format and initialise a new EZ135 cartridge from the root CLI??

The present FreeBSD msdosfs code has problems with some DOS filesystem configurations. From the experience of others, it seems that a FIPS- modified partition is more likely to cause DOS filesystem access from FreeBSD to fail. The results are not entirely predictable, but may include corruption of part of the fixed disk data. Fortunately, if the FreeBSD msdosfs doesn't like the DOS filesystem in question, this tends to be obvious right away. (If that's any consolation.) The msdosfs is in the process of being rewritten. Putting aside potential FreeBSD problems, FIPS itself really relies on a kind of trick to achieve its purpose. And problems can arise if anything should happen to the boot sector of a FIPS-ed partition. Under these circumstances, MS-DOS may silently resort to _deriving_ the filesystem configuration values, rather than getting them from the boot sector. The result may well be the sort of mess that any respectable filesystem repair utility will only aggravate. FIPS does have its place, though, and can be used as a tool to 'bootstrap' a partition split. For example: Use FIPS to split DOS partition C: DOS format the newly-created partition as D: Zip the entire contents of C: to D: Re-fdisk and re-format C: Unzip D: to C: Of course, the best advice is to make a backup of the existing data and repartition the disk from scratch. If the backup is retained for a day or two, it should by then be clear whether the new setup is going to work. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 17 06:04:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA05818 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 06:04:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.ufv.br (root@[200.19.130.110]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA05776 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 06:03:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from asgard (asgard.cpd.ufv.br [200.18.128.97]) by mail.ufv.br (8.6.11/8.6.11) with SMTP id KAA07194 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 10:05:49 -0300 Message-Id: <199604171305.KAA07194@mail.ufv.br> Date: Wed, 17 Apr 96 10:04:38 -0700 From: Eduardo Jaime Quiros Batres Organization: CPD - Univ.

Everything appears to work fine despite this error, but I'd like to know what the problem is and try to correct it. -- John McNamee MicroWizards Software Development Services Voice: 702-825-3535 / FAX: 702-825-3443 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 17 07:34:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA11229 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 07:34:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cwbone.bsi.com.br (cwbone.bsi.com.br [200.250.250.14]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA11214 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 07:33:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cwbone.bsi.com.br (cwbone.bsi.com.br [200.250.250.14]) by cwbone.bsi.com.br (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id LAA26466; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 11:33:47 GMT Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1996 11:33:46 +0000 () From: Sergio de Almeida Lenzi To: Mike Kercher cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Gateway Question In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 17 Apr 1996, Mike Kercher wrote: > Gateway is set to YES and my netmask is 255.255.255.0 > > Does that help any further? > > Yes, supose you had a mask like that:255.255.255.0 so, to route to another ip address it must be anoter class "c" ip ex: your ip: 200.231.123.5 other peer ip mus be at least: 200.231.nnn.x where nnn is different from 123. or, choose another netmask ex: 0xfffffff0.

You might want to seek for FreeBSD-1.1.5.1R somewhere or buy the CD from Walnut Creek (if it's still on stock). But should you sincerely think about installing it don't expect that version to run on too modern hardware. Be conservative, choose all SCSI devices, an AH15xx controller, no Pentium, no ATAPI CDROM. Once you have ported it to that platform, think of moving it to 4.4BSD Or better, be keen and bold and fearless and do the 4.4 port right away.

This is a little confusing, are they going to be in the same office? Let's assume that you are a remote office, you're going to put a leased-line or Frame Relay into one of the Sync ports. There's your network connection. Next you'd put the ethernet port on your network, so your local lan is now connected the network. Next comes your FreeBSD box. Does it have a ethernet card? If so, add the ip address of the ethernet port of the Cisco as the defaultroute ie route add default `cisco address` 1. And your done. Now, if you don't have a ethernet in the FBSD, connect modems to the Cisco and the FBSD. Or a null modem cable. Setup the cisco to do ppp on the asyncs (that's kind of beyond the scope of this mail, but isn't that hard). And setup ppp (I used ijjppp) as shown in the Handbook. The Cisco serial ports do do 115200. Your FBSD will do 115200 if you have 16550A or better UARTS. > 2) Hopping it's serial port, so I'd like to know how do I configure > FreeBSD to view it like it's router (sysconfig, rc.serial, etc.) :) Sysconfig will have router info. Set defaultrouter and routedflags. rc.serial sets up the serial ports. You only need to change these to fit the configuration of the ports (speed, hardware handshaking, etc.). /etc/ppp.conf will be setup from the Handbook. Paul. -- Paul T.

That error, from what I can tell, just means the route already exists. Take a look in your static routes section of /etc/sysconfig; there is a route made for the loopback interface. I don't think there is any problem there, if the error really annoys you try removing that route. (I have a feeling I'll be shot down over that one) An ifconfig line may be configuring that for you (possibly an ifconfig for lo0).

So you want to forward one to the other? If those two are the same machines, it should probably have a MX record (just don't ask me how!). Otherwise, put a file called ".forward" in the home directory of support on the machine you want to NOT receive the mail, and put the email address of the user you WANT to receive the mail in it. Then the mail will be forwarded from one account to the other. Or you could set up a mail alias in /etc/aliases like so: support:support@master.host.domain if the user called 'support' doesn't exist.

I get that protocol error on my OS/2 box. It's of no concern. You may want to try enabling VJ compression (but don't ask me how).

My system is a Pentium 90 MHz, 16 MB ram, Video Card Hercules Stingray 64 with 2 MB, 2 hard disks (HD) : the master is a IBM 1.08 GB and the slave,is where i installed the freebsd,is a Western Digital 850 MB. I copied the CD-ROM to my first HD ( yes, the whole CD because i was with more than 700 MB free ) and did the Novice install taking all the second HD using the A (All) option in the fdisk using the defaults and I also mounted after that. After the installation and the system boots and comes these messages: swapon : /dev/wd1s1b: Device not configured Automatic reboot in progress ... Can't open /dev/rwd1a: Device not configured /dev/rwd1a: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM /dev/rwd1a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: Run fsck MANUALLY Automatic file system check failed... help!

I tried to install using others configurations such as creating one partition for file system and one swap and mounted the file system but the same thing happened. Why the others file system wasn't mounted ? I read in the WWW of FreeBSD that if the directory /usr/src/sys does not exist then the kernel source is not installed and my system does not have this directory, the soft link /sys is there but does not work. When the system boot I tried the -c option and tried to configure but didn't help. What I should do in the installation to have the 2 HD and choose the operating system that I wanna boot ? Can the FreeBSD manage this from the slave HD ? How ? Thanks for the help folks, I know that technical support is a hard work !!

User Mode PPP (aka ijppp) is easier to get going since it works like a shell and has nice script debugging features. 'set debug chat' makes it really easy to find that stupid mistake in your login script :-) Plus, you can get stats and even log in manually. But kernel mode is more efficient. > > My primary use of PPP is supporting async dialup users.

I think the concensus here is that kernel mode would be better, but there has been some discussions on setting up ijppp for serving.

The serial port on the cisco is connected to your csu/dsu to your 56 or T1 etc. From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 17 11:12:50 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA24314 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 11:12:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA24304 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 11:12:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA00634; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 14:12:31 -0400 Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1996 14:12:31 -0400 From: Garrett Wollman Message-Id: <9604171812.AA00634@halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu> To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: "File exists" error when adding route for local machine In-Reply-To: References: <199604171425.HAA00242@smoke.microwiz.com> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk < said: > I don't think there is any problem there, if the error really annoys you > try removing that route.

The error occurs when /etc/netstart adds the route for the loopback interface as directed by /etc/sysconfig.

(I have a feeling I'll be shot down over that one) Actually, it isn't the message that annoys me. What annoys me is not knowing for sure if it's a problem or not. Unexplained error messages are the sort of thing that keeps me up at night (yeah, I know, I need to get a life). > An ifconfig line may be configuring that for you (possibly an ifconfig > for lo0). That was my best guess as well. lo0 certainly does get ifconfig'ed prior to the route being added. My question then is why did 2.1R ship like this? Is this happening on everybody's system, and most people just ignore it?

The trick is to change the kernel configuration line from looking for a 3C509 at a fixed address, to an unknown address (the card will then be found during the EISA probe). Also, you don't have to fix the IRQ since the setting can be read from the card. So, use port? and irq? in your config line. Then recompile your kernel and it will find your card at its "high" address - e.g. mine is found at 0x2000. I would give you the exact kernel config line which I used, since it is NOT in the LINT file, but my system is at home - I'm just doing this from memory. I'll post the exact line tonight or tomorrow in case the above wasn't clear. >Thanx for any info, and hope this ends up in the right place... Yes it is the right place, and you're welcome.

It is illegal for W.C. to sell pre-2.0R cdrom's due to an agreement as previous releases are based on code ``tainted'' with USL/AT&T/Novell/(whoever holds the copyright this nanosecond) intellictual property. I would be VERY surprised if you can find many places willing to give / sell you 4.3 based code, even if you have a USL source licence.

I'd go for hardware RAID rather than software/controller RAID. You can buy devices that just plug into your SCSI bus and appear like on VERY large, VERY fast SCSI drive.

I'm surprised that you need RAID for web serving at all. You'd need a VERY high hit rate, or be pumping out large documents to need such access speed.

Similarly, if I go into "Fixit" and run "ifconfig -a" } then there is no de0. Sorry, there was an off by one error in the code of 2.1R. The effect is, that a PCI device which is mapped to a port range that extends up to 0xffff, will not be accepted. This has been fixed long ago in both FreeBSD-current and -stable. If you got a system to build a new kernel on, then you'll be able to use your Ethernet card, if you compile with /sys/pci/pci.c from the -stable sources. Else you may want to try the latest SNAP (960323) which contains fixed PCI code. If you got some other PCI card, which is not required for the installation, then you could try to arrange for it to be mapped to the highest available port addresses (you may need to shuffle around PCI cards until since addresses are assigned by the PCI BIOS according to the slot they occupy). You could then rebuild your kernel with the PCI bug fixed, and could then restore it to exactly the current state again, if necessary ... Sorry for the inconvenience!

With the above I already have 4 primary parititions and doesn't DOS require a primary partition in an extended partition due to some DOS bug? I can probably settle with a root partition but that costs me more than one physical parititon for FreeBSD because I'll need some slices which take up others. I'd rather install FreeBSD in it's own 500 MB parititon so I might even consider a controller that does extended translation. Currently I'm using an NCR based DTC 3130B which works like a champ.

I boot from a FBSD floppy into the install script. I choose Novice and partition the drive. I've tried "A" (All) and I've tried my usual technique (the one I've used on both of the other FreeBSD servers that I run) -- which is to create a small (64M) partition for '/' and devote the rest of the drive to one big partition. In either case the I do a 'W'rite and the system reports that the partition table is O.K. -- I've tried going on to labeling the disk immediately, and I've tried rebooting and skipping to that part (several variations, several times). Labeling seems to go O.K. until I try to write -- the system then complains that it can't use /dev/sd0s2b as a swap partition and that it can't format/write to or use the '/' (/dev/sd0s1a). This is a Dell Dimension XPS Pentium 133c with an Adaptec 2940, a 3Com EtherLink III and an STB Powergraph VGA card. The drive is a Seagate ST15150 SCSI (external, SCSI 0), the CD-Drive is a Sony, external single-speed, (ID 1). System as 64Mb of RAM. The only thing that's different (that I know of) between this and my last installation is that the drive in the last one was an internal Conner CFP4207S. I noticed that there was no disktab entry for the ST15150 (but I don't know where sysinstall is getting it's information). I also noticed that the Geometry reported by fdisk is wrong. I tried the G parameter and giving the drive parameters (3711cyls, 21heads, and "64,160 avg. bytes / track" which I guessed would have to be represented as 63 sectors -- that being the BIOS limit). Sorry I don't have more exact messages. I'd welcome suggestions about where to go from here.

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 have a server running FreeBSD 2.1-R with a kernel rebuild for the BOCA board. When we upgraded the machine from a Linux system we swapped a few drives around, ending up with two SCSI drives. The first was a new Conner 1.0GB SCSI F&W drive, the second was an older conner 1.3GB SCSI-2 drive. We were having problems with our SCSI controller on handling the first drive, so we opted to just ignore it (as we doubted the controller could handle it--odd situation, the drive actually has a SCSI-2 adaptor strapped on the back, and was intended for macs--which it works on just fine). Instead we installed on the second drive, which reported itself on scsi id #6, although we dont know why (this drive has a history of its own, it came out of an AT&T star server). We didn't want it on SCSI id #6, but we also could not find the appropriate jumpers to change it. Consequently we simply installed it as it stood. We left both drives connected, with the first 1.0GB conner on scsi id #0, and installed to the second. There are a few problems with this. Primarily, to boot we have to boot with 'sd(1,a)/kernel' to get the right drive. Act 2: I now have two quantum SCSI drives I want to drop into the place of the first drive. One is a Quantum Lighting and the other is simply a Quantum (I dont recall the actual model, and I can't get to it at the moment). Replacing the conner with the quantum lighting resulted in some very interesting behavior, from the drive controller (before we even hit the OS); usually the controller (adaptech) reports each drive it finds upon bootup, similar to DRIVE-NAME DRIVE-SPECS #ID C: (etc) With the lighting in place it came up on id 0, with drive specs, then id 1-5 were also the quantum lighting, but only in name (it didn't give the specs (size etc)), and finally ending with the conner 1.3 on id 6. When I reached the boot prompt I intended to boot to the conner, but I couldn't find the filesystem device for it anymore... (it was no longer on sd0). I could have booted from a floppy to let the OS probe the device, but I was rather rushed at the time, so instead I simply removed all drives other than the conner 1.3 gb and did another reboot, this time specifying sd(0,a)/kernel. It reached the point of doing an fsck when it came up with a device-not-configured error (for obvious reasons, as sd1 was the configured device)... At this point I simply plugged back in the original conner to sd0 and rebooted to sd1 on the second conner without problems, leaving it for another day.. Act 3: This saturday I have aquired more available down-time to work on the problem. What I would like to know is what tools are available, and what would have to happen to get around specific possibilities, namely: 1) How would one reconfigure a different scsi device for an existing filesystem? This is in relation to if I end up having to keep the existing filesystem (which we need) on a device other than sd1... 2) with the new disk, how do I make it a 'bootable' disk? I.e. I doubt simply copying the core filesystem from the current disk to the new disk will work (once the new disk is formatted). What I would really like is the possibility of using dd to just copy the entire disk across, except for the disk sizes are not the same (the quantum is only 540 MB), even though we have only used 400MB of the 1.3 GB available. I would like to set it up to boot to the quantum, with the core filesystem on the quantum and the users on the conner... -Brandon Gillespie From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 17 15:14:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA16363 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 15:14:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU (soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.43.52]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA16357 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 15:14:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from richardc@localhost) by soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU (8.6.12/8.6.12) id PAA11752; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 15:13:22 -0700 Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1996 15:13:21 -0700 (PDT) From: Richard Chang To: Terry Lambert cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Keyboard bindings In-Reply-To: <199604172102.OAA02580@phaeton.artisoft.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 17 Apr 1996, Terry Lambert wrote: > > I had a question for the longest time.

Discard is a cannonical processing capability, not a transported (ie: capable of being sent out of band) signal. Only transported signals work like you want ^O to work... you need to get a faster link or reduce time between packet reception and output buffer flushing to make it work. It's not done by default because (a) it would slow down average throughput, and (b) no one but VMS/.TOPS-20 hold-overs use ^O. ;-). Alternately, you could reabstract the ^O implementation to make it into a signal... lotta work, that.

It's slower, without hardware acceleration (like an NVRAM write cache). You have to do two writes for each write, otherwise... If he wants addes speed, he should use striping with spindel-sync, not RAID. RAID is for fault tolerance and error recovery.

Hmmm, okay... Isn't a 10GBps link fast enough? ;-) Someone on the list just mentioned to do stty discard undef and that seems to work but the stty manpage doesn't mention anything at what discard is.

First, your email is really broken and not replyable - the From: address was not a fully qualified domain name. Second, you really need watch those line lengths - 95 columns is a bit weird. Okay, now to your problem: the mb_map full is caused by there not being enough mbuf clusters. Try increasing "maxusers" in your kernel config file to something more appropriate (like say, 64 to start and if that doesn't fix it, try 100). This might also fix the "too many files" problem, but I'm not sure where that's coming from, so perhaps not. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 17 19:39:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA06217 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 19:39:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA06212 for ; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 19:39:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA03315; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 19:38:06 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199604180238.TAA03315@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: Partioning....

But I'm really confused by what is happening with my DTC 3130B (NCR 815) and my Quantum Atlas 4 GIG drive. When using FreeBSD's fdisk the geometry is reported as 1017 cylinders, 131 heads and 63 sectors. Now this translates to 4GIG with 512 byte blocks. So, why can I not currently boot any OS that is above 1GIG? The controller appears to be doing translation already since it can address the whole 4GIG within 1017 cylinders. but every OS I've tried to boot above around the 1GIG mark fails. The geometry is reported from the disk label right after it was lowlevel formatted? Could the DTC being performing an entirely different translation factor on top of what the drive's been low leveled format as? ie. the DTC ignores the disklabel and performs it's own translation probably using 64 heads and consequently only addressing 1GIG in the first 1024 cylinders? Signed confused. -- "Under the circumstances I will sit down."

That depends entirely on the level of RAID you're using. You can use RAID for fault tolerance, -or- for disk striping, or both. RAID 0: Striping, no parity. Not true "raid" but often sold as it. RAID 1: Mirroring on two disks - redundancy - same speed as a normal drive (in theory. :) The ECC may slow things down. RAID 2: Hamming ECC - basically for data redundancy About as fast as raid 1, perhaps a bit faster. RAID 3: Striping with parity checking A bit more reliable than RAID 0, not quite as fast, but still considerably faster than a straight disk RAID 4: Parity Checking on a special parity disk. RAID 5: Parity checking with parity distributed across data disks Quite obviously, RAID 0 and RAID 3 have the potential to be considerably faster than an ordinary disk. I don't know how they compare to software striping as in the ccd, I don't think anyone's done any comparisons.:) I've used some of these in graphic design applications, and they *really* fly. A RAID level 0 array like the FWB Jackhammer is a very pretty piece of equipment, though a tad expensive for most people. :) Granted that RAID 0 isn't really "R"aid in the sense that it isn't redundant, but even RAID 3 is faster than a standalone disk (and has the advantage of redundancy), and many manufacturers sell striped non-redundant disk arrays as RAID drives. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

Don't ask me why. :) The interrupt controller chip used in the XT and AT was the Intel 8259A. It handled 8 interrupts, but had a so-called "cascade mode", where you could designate each of the primary interrupts as representing another group of 8. This is what they did in the AT: they took IRQ2, which up to this point had hardly been used, and used it for the interrupt input from the second 8259A. The *real* IRQ2 thus represents all of the IRQs from 8 to 15. This is (almost) completely transparent to the software, the only exception being the interrupt controller initialisation routines. There is also an ISA bus line called IRQ2 (B4: on the rear of the connector, 4th from left when you have the connector pointing down) It used to be connected to IRQ2 on the XT, but it now homeless, since it couldn't be connected to IRQ2. Instead, they connected it to IRQ9. Unfortunately, the line is (AFAIK) still called IRQ2. Thus the confusion. Bottom line: it's really IRQ9, but it's the only one of the IRQs 8-15 which you can use with an 8 bit board. Is this clear? Is it interesting? Shall I put it in the next edition of the book?

The seek times, because of the parity checking, aren't as spectacular as level 0 or as something like software striping (ccd). In a heavy seeking environment with multiple users, RAID level 0 will still show performance bonuses, level 3 less so. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

West" Subject: sup problems Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed sup 2.0 on 2.1R and tried to use it to update to stable. Most went fine, but there were two groups that would hang up during the sup. I commented those two groups out of my supfile and tried again and all went well. I then uncommented those two and commented the rest and tried sup again (to re-try just the two that failed). Both groups locked up at exactly the same file. I don't remember which groups were causing the lockup, but I know one of them was usrsbin. I was using sup2.freebsd.org, but tried others as well. This is not a critical problem; my workaround was to get the two dirs from freebsd.org via ftp (get usrsbin.tar.Z for example) and then the make world went fine. Two questions: 1) Does anyone know why two groups would consistently lock up at the same file? 2) I want to use sup in the future, but I suspect it doesn't know that I 'went around it's back' and got the two missing dirs. Is there a way I can let sup on my end know that my end is up to date so it will just track changes from now on? Thanks in advance!

X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/support.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Okay. I have been doing some extensive searching and maybe know what is my problem. Perhaps you can guide me as to where I need to proceed from here. First, a quick recap...Gary Clark, a FBSD developer, installed our system but he has since left us for reasons we won't discuss. Now I have inheirited the system and I am not very BSD oriented. I only wished to activate the ports on my Boca that were not working. I changed out a generic 4port Usenet serial board which stopped working. I went in and changed my kernel to the appropriate settings for a multiport board. This is when I realized the problem... Now, I have sent you my kernel configuration yesterday. Since then I have been reading (and reading!). I believe now that some of the files used in config and/or make have either been corrupted or are now completely missing. The garbage I receive when trying to use make (make depend works fine) indicates possibly corrupted files and it cannot read them as such. Possible? How can I tell if some files are corrupted or missing? I have 3 servers (main, terminal and backup) and running make on each gets the same "garbage:not found" response. I have found that I can possibly use the fixit.flp to heal my wounds. Is this true with what I have encountered? If so do you have any hints to guide me through fixing this? I do appreciate any help and time taken to guide a newb like me. FBSD is a very stable system and have had nothing but praise from my 100+ customers since switching from Unixware (ugh!). I just need some nudging in the right direction on a few things. My sincerest Thanks, Rick Gray Network Pros, Inc.

I'm wondering how hard it will be to configure the drive. Can anybody give me fairly explicit instructions? How do I format the drive? How do I divide it into, say, four filesystems? or three filesystems? (Is there a tool that figures out how many bytes are available after formatting and will let me divvy up the drive??) A friend who uses NetBSD says that I've got to do the calculations by hand, which shouldn't be any major deal. But it'd be nicer is somebody put together a tool.

Perhaps something like DOS 32 MEG NeXTSTEP 512 FreeBSD 350 Windows 95 100 Put NT on another disk since it will boot off another drive as will FreeBSD so I believe. I don't necessarily require my swap partition on another drive so perhaps 350 is more acceptable for a basic installation (with X11R6 BTW)? So I'd like to ask if 350 is enough to include swap and have XFree installed for use with Accelerated X and like I said I'll just add everything else via /usr/local on a different drive. If I wish to create a 1GIG filesystem on my 4GIG for FreeBSD will I be required to write a disktab entry?

No, NFS locking isn't there. And I would really recommend having mail delivered to just one machine (makes admin even easier ... only one /var/mail to worry about filling up :-) ). If people want to read their mail on the 2nd box, POP is a good solution. It'll allow them to read it on any box on the network actually. Someone else will have to comment about NIS.

Off the top of my head, this might be useful for: - Swapping information about suppliers in the UK who ship hardware that FreeBSD works with. - Using FreeBSD with ISPs in the UK, sharing of config files and the like - Co-ordinating mirrors of FreeBSD information from an ftp, sup and http standpoint. - Stimulate the use of FreeBSD in the .ac.uk domain (where most students seem to be running Linux, because it's all they've heard of) - Co-ordinate with the UKUUG (UK Unix User Group) and LUUG (London Unix User Group) with the events that they run. - General chit-chat. - Meetings, get togethers, pub crawls and so on. . . Thoughts? If people are interested then let me know, and I can start a list hosted here.

Looking that majordomo is a perl script, witch version of perl does it requires ? (I think mine is 4.X ??) 4) Any other suggestion is welcome !

I have on a couple of occasions recently seen Linux FT on cover CDROM's of UK mags, and thought about contacting the mag to get FreeBSD covered too, but without decent (E)IDE support, I can't. And I don't mean just CDROM's but also LBA disks (i.e. large disks) too. It was annoying recently when a friend really wanted to move to FreeBSD, but it wouldn't install properly on his box. Downloaded slackware 3.0 of sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk and ran first time. The problem? A 1Gb EIDE disk that needs to be shared between DOS & UN*X. I can't be sure (I'm about400 miles from the machine in question), but I'm betting that FreeBSD couldn't hack the translation produced by the controller. > - Co-ordinate with the UKUUG (UK Unix User Group) and LUUG (London Unix > User Group) with the events that they run.

Which reminds me: REQUEST: If you have a system which could handle a few more mail messages a day (okay, a few hundred), or a SUP server, or a WWW mirror, please contact either myself or the freebsd-hubs mailing list as there is a distinct lack of UK resources at the minute. We have a host for a uk.freebsd.org DNS domain, and one mail relay, but another mail relay or two would be nice (either load sharing or backups), and a SUP server would be REALLY nice (esp. if it carried all 3 trees - current, stable & CVS ). A decent net.link would be needed for this ... Thanks in advance.

FreeBSD doesn't use any "translation", and IDE disks don't have "controllers" (unless it was one of those Promise cards), they have "address decoders". Why am I narked?

The upper limit is 100 or so on a dropbox and I want to see all of the returned matches because there is a lot of repetition and some info I might want to see is getting cut off.

The Package installation procedure depends on the filenames being the normal Unix full-length ones, not the munged DOS ones. You'll have to add the packages you want manually once the system is started with pkg_add (but that is not difficult at all).

Can you be a bit more specific about "astronomically"? We see about 500K/sec here on Compex 21040-based cards, and about 350K/sec with NE2000's.

I'd be starting with your memory, and possibly cache. Make sure you have the BIOS set to automatically configure memory/cache timings too. Note that we have had problems with several brands of memory in these boards, we currently use Panasonic 60ns parts.

Large IDE drives. Makes > me think that there is something not right there... Most of these begin with a disk layout that has some FAT partition sitting on the first 500M or more. There's just no way to win in a situation like this, short of having a pile of alternative bootstraps that understand the different mutant forms of LBA and try to guess which one to install. FWIW, I've done plenty of installs onto 'large' IDE disks, on systems with and without LBA support, and generally haven't had any trouble if they've been properly configured. One place you _will_ lose is if the BIOS reports a bogus geometry to the bootstrap - it's not telepathic, so if the BIOS geometry setting doesn't match the disk's reported geometry, the installer has to be told the BIOS geometry manually. That's a configuration error, not a FreeBSD problem. > Gary -- ]] 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 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

I have FreeBSD 2.1 -stable (as of last week) installed on a 1G IDE. I am trying to add a 4G Seagate Barracuda st15150n as extra drive space. My 1G IDE is dying, so I hope to copy most of its contents to the Barracuda until I get a raplacement for it (hopefully a 2G Barracuda, since the 4G Barracuda is only temporary). Here is the drive info for the Barracuda: -cylinders: 3712 -heads: 21 -sectors: 7,812,500 -tracks: 77,931 -bytes/sector: 512 Here is the error I get when I try to do disklabel -R sd0 /etc/label.sd0 line 22: bad partition name I think it is looking for the "a" partition, when I am trying to specify the entire drive by using the "c" partition. I may be doing this part wrong. Below is my /etc/label.sd0, which I got by typing: disklabel sd0 > /etc/label.sd0 and editing the file: I am trying to install this, but it is not being accepted because of the partition name problem. Any help would be really appreciated.

I don't have any idea what the take up of FreeBSD in the UK is, and figured that it's better to start with a mailing list.

It could probably manage a sup as well, given what it spends most of it's day doing. Given that the mail relay for the lists is brunel.ac.uk as well this makes a moderate amount of sense. Unfortunately, I'm not there any more, so can't speak for Brunel's CC, who would be ok'ing this. > > - Meetings, get togethers, pub crawls and so on. . . > > Heh. Pub crawls eh? Serious stuff :) Absolutely. And something else that I forgot to put in my original message. If there's enough people interested, I'd really like to get some sort of shipping distribution channel for FreeBSD related stuff in the UK. I don't know how many CD-ROMs WC ships to the UK, but I would imagine some savings can be made by shipping them to one address in the UK, which then forwards them from there.

Look at the README in the distribution. It has answers to all of these questions. I just installed it for the first time this week (on Solaris not FBSD). I found the doc a little confusing, but mostly all there. I wrote a simple minded perl script to do all the things (I perceive) to create a new mailing list. Including, creating files for the list, a digest and archives. It also creates the aliases for sendmail, though it doesn't put it in the actual aliases file. Paul. -- Paul T.

That should be OK. I regularly install FreeBSD on 200 MB disks, and there's space left over. Of course, the real question is how much of your own stuff you want to put on the disk. > If I wish to create a 1GIG filesystem on my 4GIG for FreeBSD will > I be required to write a disktab entry? I assume that your 4 gig disk is SCSI (I haven't heard of EIDE that big). In that case, you don't have to worry about anything, just run the installation.

Then use inb() and outb() functions to read and write to the I/O ports: #include ... int data; int fd = open("/dev/io", O_RDWR); data = inb(0x2a8); outb(0x3e8, 16); close(fd); Looking at the kernel code, it looks like the inb() and outb() functions are temporary. In the future, I think you'll open /dev/io, then mmap() or use lseek() and read()/write() to read and write the ports.

I'll post one of my favorite responses to this below. From what I understand, NetBSD is similar to FreeBSD (hey, they even borrow each other's code :) ) but is developed by a different organization.

First, I beg forgiveness for any inadvertent inaccuracy; I expect Mike Smith to correct me on all counts and to use the opportunity to make more rude comments about my clothing :). The canonical answer to your question is: "Don't ask here. That's a flame-bait question. Try asking in comp.os.linux.advocacy. Don your asbestos underwear first." True, there's nothing quite like your question (or any other "which of these two OS is superior?") to cause a flame-war. A slightly less jaded answer: FreeBSD is an on-going development of released BSD code. It's a genuine BSD with a long lineage. There's a high degree of code stability, lots of people know how the OS is put together thanks to experience with the N other BSDs out there, porting is easy because it's a standard BSD, and so on. FreeBSD is nice and familiar. The FreeBSD team are well organised; subscribe to cvs-sys and watch their updates flow in. Various parts of the OS are allocated to various people, who must check in any changes. Anyone can submit a change, but it won't go in until it has been thoroughly checked by someone who really understands the code it affects. There is one FreeBSD distribution. Everything ported to FreeBSD will work with it. Installing new software is usually as easy as downloading a pre-done package and installing it, or by downloading a few K of a port, typing "make", and watching your system download the rest of the distribution from elsewhere, making necessary changes and compiling it. Linux was put together by a talented individual, from scratch. That code which is not original has been borrowed from a wide variety of sources. In many ways, it's a mongrel. The code doesn't seem as stable as that of BSD. Porting isn't as easy as anyone would like -- Linux isn't a BSD, and isn't SysV, supports API elements from both, and has wierd behaviour in places. Linux is new and quirky. I have no idea whether the Linux team are organised or not. Linus seems to have sole control over the kernel, but the rest of the OS seems to be left to whomever happens to be around. I may be wrong, here. There are many "distributions". Red Hat has a kind of package support which makes installing new software easy, but it only works with their packages, and their packages only work on their distribution. Packages for one distribution may not work for another distribution. In-built Linux detection in various bits of software are often tailored for one distribution (Slackware) and may not work with another. > 2) How complete is FreeBSD's ability to emulate Linux (which would let > me have the best of both worlds possibly)? Someone else will have to field this one, but I've seen mutterings amongst the people doing the ELF support that they've more or less nailed down the capability to run the latest Linux-compiled binaries. I imagine FreeBSD can already run old-style "a.out" Linux binaries, but I'm not sure. If you're getting source code for things, this is irrelevant. Just compile for FreeBSD. > 3) In the news groups someone talked about preferring FreeBSD over > Linux because the former is an actual OS while the latter is just > a kernel... could you explain this difference to me? "FreeBSD" encompasses the whole OS -- kernel, drivers, devices, filesystems, basic utilities, filesystem layout, and so on. If you're familiar with a FreeBSD system, you're unlikely to be get any nasty surprises using another one. Indeed, if you're familiar with any other stock BSD or even some variants (like SunOS), you're unlikely to get any nasty surprises. "Linux" encompasses the Linux kernel. Just the kernel. More or less everything else is up to the distribution, of which there are a few. If you're familiar with a Slackware distribution, a Red Hat distribution may well pack some surprises. Or vice versa. > 4) Linux has ELF files (or something along those lines), yet from what > I've read it seems FreeBSD does not. What is the significance of this? ELF is a new binary distribution format, soon to be handled in some way by FreeBSD. That aside, I'm not sure what it is, save that ELF binaries simply won't run on old Linux systems. In summary; if you want something new, exiting, and trendy, you can't go past Linux. There are plenty of nifty books with one of the distributions on a CD-ROM inside the cover and hints on how to do things on the pages inside. You'll find lots of other Linux fanatics to play with. Just ignore those people claiming that you're running the Amiga of Unix variants. After all, Linux is technically superior, right? If you want something old but up-to-date, familiar, and stable, you can't go past FreeBSD. There aren't lots of nifty beginner books, but there are lots of serious, heavy books that talk a lot about how BSD is put together, administrated and such. BSD is older than many of the people that install Linux. It's not trendy; it's an old, familiar and well respected part of the Unix landscape. You can leave the excitement to the Linux fans -- you prefer reliability and stability to the bleeding edge, right? I run a Linux system, a BSDI system (commercial BSD) and a FreeBSD system. I'm about to add an OSF/1 system to the menagerie. I do sysadmin stuff on SunOS, Solaris, NCR Unix (SysV) and AIX (mangled SysV). FreeBSD is -- for me -- the most comfortable and easy to maintain of the lot. Your mileage may differ. There are lots of happy Linux people out there, too. -- garth@dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au | Garth Kidd +61-8-207-7740 (voice) | Professional Services Division +61-8-207-7860 (fax) | Southern Systems | Adelaide, AUSTRALIA Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 19 11:22:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA22512 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 11:22:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA22506 for ; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 11:22:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id LAA26138; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 11:22:38 -0700 Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 11:22:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Angelo Turetta cc: "'freebsd-questions'" Subject: Re: How can I use gethostname() in snake_saver ??

Err. You do realise that you're linking against the kernel and not shared libraries? I'm not sure how hard it is to do that ... Certainly the kernel version of ``gethostname'' takes different parameters than the libc version. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations.

Filip, FreeBSD and NetBSD grew out of schisms during the developement of 386BSD (Mr. & Mrs. Jolitz). Linux was independently written by Linux Torvalds (and many others on the net). This distinction applies to the history and authorship of the kernel and most/some of the device drivers. The bulk of the applications and utilities for all three OS' is ported from FSF (GNU) and other publicly available sources. All three use ports of the same X Windows implementation (XFree86). In terms of differences that a (new to Unix) DOS convert would see: they aren't consequential. Here's my opinions: FreeBSD is better for PC servers. Linux seems to be better for personal workstations. NetBSD is available for Mac, Amiga, and SPARC platforms. FreeBSD is more stable. Linux has a "cooler" name, gets more media attention, has a wider variety of hardware drivers and has "cooler" new stuff written for it. FreeBSD conforms much more closely the the standards and conventions of BSD unix (with approx. 25 years of tradition and history). There are no books on FreeBSD -- mostly there don't have to be as the normal books on BSD should suffice. There are lots of books on Linux -- there have to be since there are lots of things that are "new and improved" about Linux and because Linux attracts more people who are totally new to Unix-like OS'. That's it in a nutshell (ooops -- now I'll have O'Reilly chasing after me ). For more info I'd suggest getting FAQ's from: rtfm.mit.edu specifically from these directories: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/comp/unix/bsd ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/comp/os Also you can check out the home sites for each of these web sites: http://www.linux.org http://www.freebsd.org http://www.netbsd.org > > Do you know where to get FreeBSD on CDROM? Walnut Creek (http://www.cdrom.com) Oddly enough I don't know where to get NetBSD on CD. Obviously there are over a dozen different Linux CD distributions. 386BSD is available (the ads are always run in Dr. Dobbs Journal).

The screen saver is a kernel module. You need to include and access the control variable "kern.hostname". The C library is not available in the kernel, where the save runs.

Currently I believe that I have hadded all that I need to the kernel config file. I am able to get through the build process w/o complaint. However, when I attempt to boot with the new kernel all is normal until it attempts to access the second IDE interface (IRQ 15). All is normal up until this point. At this point it hangs for a moment, attempts to access the SoundBlaster, beeps a lot and prints many ``@'' to the screen while it starts up multiuser mode and starts up the various deamons. Below I have included my current config file for the kernel. I understand that since folks will not know exactly what the condition of my machine not all of the config file can be appreciated. I am hoping that folks will catch a glaring error that I have not and help me correct it. I do know that the settings for the IRQ and DMAs are correct for the sound card. And that the IRQ and I/O address for the IDE interface on the SB are correct. "As Jun [Murai] explains it, `I can go to the bar and drink beer. I go to a phone and ping my routers, and if they are still working, I go back and drink more beer.'"

However, my most recent workstation is in FreeBSD, and I've since noticed that for some unknown reason random bits of space are ADDED to the end of lines periodically. Specifically if the line happens to be short. This is rather disasterous as I do a bit of pasting of blocks of text terminated with a period, 9.9 times out of 10 I will pull from an xterm window (in nvi) where the line is simply "." (or in regexp-ese "^\.$"), yet when it is pasted into the other window it is received as "^\. $". Is there any reason for this!? The behavior is most definitely centralized somewhere in the x-term/XF86 implementation of the cut-n-paste buffer, is it something that can be fixed? It is rather frustrating to have to manually enter the period to make sure that it is JUST a period, not a period, space and then a CRLF... -Brandon Gillespie- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 19 13:47:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA01388 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 13:47:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kirk.edmweb.com (kirk.edmweb.com [204.244.190.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA01380 for ; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 13:47:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from steve@localhost) by kirk.edmweb.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA03405; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 13:47:07 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 13:47:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Steve Reid To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Mosaic Binary available for download?

In any case, I'm not going through a hub. My setup is a thin net on one side of the FreeBSD box and a 28.8 link to the Internet on the other side. I also have two dial-up modems for ppp. Everything comes up fine on a re-boot except nothing on the thin net can see the FreeBSD box. As soon as I do anything that uses the interface on the FreeBSD box, everything comes alive. To be honest, I don't really know where to take it from there. It sounds like a routing issue, but why does the interface perform fine after a ping (insert network operation of choice). A netstat -r doesn't show any changes before or after either. I'm stumped.

I've been offered either of two boxes, a HP LH or possibly a DEC Prioris. It's likely the HP will be my boss' choice. Both have OEM versions of the Mylex RAID controller. Needless to say FreeBSD doesn't see the Mylex on either of these boxes, just the embedded AIC 7770 (I think) on the HP. Either of these machines would be a nice upgrade from my existing 486 DX33 except for the problem with the Mylex. 8-( Is there any work in progress on the Mylex controller or should I try for an Adaptec 3940UW?

The problem is Netscape is doing a lot of bitmap operations and the default malloc in all releases to date has a memory leak in it, meaning programs (like the X server) eat up memory when forced to do heavy malloc/free cycles. Later releases of the X server use a different malloc which partially solves this problem, and a totally new malloc will be present in 2.2 which is even more efficient. If you want, you can build your own X server (and make it smaller as you can cut out the drivers you don't use), and if you link it against the GNU malloc (-lgnumalloc) it'll go partway to solving your problem.

AND I COULDN'T KILL THE FRAGGIN THING!!! ARGH!!!!!! Could you telnet in from another machine and look at the processes, or even ping the box from another? I'm NOT convinced that lockup is something that can be blamed on Netscape ... If nothing else, for several months I had netscape 2 in my .xinitrc, and it was ALWAYS running on my machine, and the only times it had problems was when I did stupid things with the CDROM drive. I'm not saying Netscape is the best piece of s/w in the world, but this problem bears some investigation (esp. the lockup).

I believe you still need to set the address of the remote end, or at least specify a range of addresses that are acceptable... e.g. from my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: set ifaddr 158.152.50.150 158.152.1.194/16 So I'll connect to anything in the 158.152 class B IP address space... I'm not sure if `0' works like you are expecting. Gary Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info.

Oh, what the heck--thanks for a really great suite of products (BSDI, FreeBSD, NetBSD. . .) :-) I posted a message on the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc newsgroup, but haven't received any replies yet, so I thought I'd post a message here, too. Almost every morning (with literally one or two exceptions), for about the last four or five days, when I check my FreeBSD box, it has rebooted itself. I checked the obvious (power), but that wasn't the problem. Instead, after some testing, I've discovered that it may be a matter of memory (Signal 11) errors which aren't given the chance to generate core dumps, but instead reboot the machine. I can reproduce one of the errors. If I log in as one of my users who is on group wheel, and I run xdtm (from the ports collection), the program core-dumps (signal 11). If I run the same command as root, it runs perfectly for a while, then core-dumps, too. Okay, it could be a bad executable or buggy code, so not really serious. Serious, however, are the reboot problems, which are occurring with /etc/daily (run by cron at 02:00), which I have not (yet) modified from its original form. Specifically, I think the problem is with find. >From time to time, even when I perform a find manually (though more rarely by this method than by cron)--say, for example, find / -name text.txt -print the machine will pause for a moment or two, and then reboot itself. While, in principle, I'm not unwilling to consider the possibility of faulty RAM or a faulty motherboard, I believe this is unlikely, since I am also running Windoze 95 on the same machine with a slew of (some really demanding, processor & FPU-wise) applications, and I receive no errors. The machine is a Gateway 2000, with Intel Pentium 120 AMI BIOS 16MB EDO RAM STB Trio 64V+ video card (PCI) IDE Western Digital Caviar 21200 1.2GB hard disk Wearnes 6X IDE CD-ROM drive Telepath 28.8 Fax Modem 1.44MB 3.5" floppy drive PS/2-style mouse 104-key keyboard Any ideas? With the exception of the occasional Signal 11 error, the machine is running fine, as is BSD, and I *really love* this operating system, and would love to see it run with stability. Is there anything in -STABLE or -CURRENT you think might solve my problems?

Ahh... Do you have the DOS parition mounted under FreeBSD? If so... don't, I'm betting that's your problem ... the FreeBSD DOS code is flakey and can cause spontaneous reboots as it doesn't bounds check stuff.

I worked with it up to 1990, and I remember at the time that they stopped tracking SYSV around r.2 (or maybe r.3). The reason was the licensing or some such thing, and at that same time for the same reason OSF got started. (Don't quote me! :) HPUX did about the same thing. IBM always tried to do their own thing with the OS, especially with the Sys Admin stuff. I also remember having to deal with pg instead of more on that damn thing, and some weird implementation of ethernet tcp/ip. Before that they worked with Interactive Systems to get their first official version of UNIX. I think they are now doing it all in house in Austin.

Is this right? 'foo' and 'bar' have come to replace 'x' and 'y' as generic variables. They derive from FUBAR (pronounced foo-bar) which is an acronym for F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition 'majordomo' is in my English dictionary. It derives from the Latin. major domus, and refers to "a man in charge of a great, royal, or noble household; the chief steward" In the computer context, it refers to a program that administers multiple mailing lists. It is "the man in charge of the lists" in that it automates functions which were previously done by humans.

Servus, Close. 'Foo,' 'bar' and 'foobar' actually means nothing. In most cases, it means just as much as a variable name in an equation, e.g. X in X + Y. It is a generic value often used in examples by computer weenies. It is rumored to be a military slang derived from the acronym for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition." Hence, you will also see it spelled "fubar." As for majordomo, it is just a mailing list software package. Treat it as a proper name, i.e. do not translate it. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

But when somebody calls the phone will not answer. A ps ax shows, 168 ?? I 0:00.10 /usr/libexec/getty V19200 ttyd0 which is correct according to the hand book. I edited the gettytab and added the definitions for the Very High Speed Modem. In my ttys I added or actually edited the first line under #Serial teminals, ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty V19200" dialup on, But still now answer.

Yes! You got it! I'm really curious to know if you do have popper (the qualcom version) running. The messages I got just before these reboots were always a popper request, and sometimes when I was at the machine during the reboot popper would be identified as the culprit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Du Gaue - rdugaue@calweb.com http://www.calweb.com President, CalWeb Internet Services Inc.

I am ordering the FreeBSD handbook from Walnut Creek; maybe that will answer some questions. --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ Pipex-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 20 10:54:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA21505 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 10:54:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ben.britain.eu.net (ben.Britain.EU.net [192.91.199.254]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA21500 for ; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 10:54:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fennel.compnews.co.uk by ben.britain.eu.net via UKIP with SMTP (PP) id ; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 18:53:14 +0100 Received: from padua.compnews.co.uk by fennel.compnews.co.uk; Sat, 20 Apr 96 18:53:01 BST Message-Id: <23931.9604201752@padua.compnews.co.uk> From: tonyc@compnews.co.uk (Tony Clark) Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 18:52:57 +0100 X-Phone-Number: +44 430 432480 X-Fax-Number: +44 430 432458 X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Compaq Contura 486 laptop Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I would like to install FreeBSD on my laptop cause i need a much much more stable operating system that Windows 95/OS etc etc....

Do you have a static IP address, or is it allocated each time you connect?

Assuming the answer to the above is both fixed, my setup should get you started. Note that I have a local ethernet with bogus IP addresses, which complicates the picture a little. For my FreeBSD machine with the ppp external connection the setup is as follows; the local ethernet address for this machine is 10.0.0.2, hostname freebie. Just ignore all references to that name / address and the 10.0.0.0 network if you don't have the same situation...

First, make sure your sendmail_flags entry in /etc/sysconfig looks like: sendmail_flags="-bd" Leave out the "-q30m", otherwise, sendmail will cause your network link to start up every 30 minutes. If that doesn't work, you'll have to set up PPP filtering to have it *not* connect with certain kinds of packets---the kinds that cause the link to start up.

You put whatever xhost command you want to execute in your $HOME/.xsession file. However, using xhost is a Bad Thing in terms of security since it allows *anyone* on the remote system unrestricted access to your display and keyboard. A better way is using xauth. When you log in via xdm, it creates an entry in your $HOME/.Xauthority file that contains a session key that clients must present to be allowed to connect. For remote hosts, you have to transfer that information from your local .Xauthority file to the remote one. I use the script below start up an xterm on another host. It certainly isn't perfect security, but its much better than xhost. See the xauth man page for more information. #!/bin/sh host=`basename $0` xauth extract - `hostname`:0 | rsh $host xauth merge - xon $host xterm -n $host -T $host -ls It gets the name of the remote host from the name of the script, i.e. if the script was named `copper', the host would be copper. You can just make one script and use links or copy it for other hosts. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================ From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 20 17:11:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id RAA09795 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 17:11:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from obie.softweyr.com (slcmodem1-p1-13.intele.net [206.29.206.112]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA09786 for ; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 17:11:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from wes@localhost) by obie.softweyr.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id SAA27519; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 18:12:34 -0600 Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 18:12:34 -0600 Message-Id: <199604210012.SAA27519@obie.softweyr.com> From: wes@intele.net To: Khetan Gajjar CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: PPP on demand.

Sendmail may be part of the cause; if it runs the mail queue and has any outgoing mail, it will force PPP to dial the connection if the default route still exists through the PPP link. This is desirable behavior if you've got sendmail configured closely enough. ;^) Any of several `background' tasks may behave this way. Another culprit is routing daemons like routed and gated.

Any clues appreciated. No. uucpd is only prompting for a password. Try it yourself by "telnet localhost uucp" and see what happens.

Probably one of two things: your $TERM is set to something other than "xterm", or the remote machine has an incorrect picture of your xterm geometry.

You can tailor this to suit your needs. Add an "xhost +" to just the default startup if you want to allow a user to specify his own remote accesses via his/her own .xsession. Alternatively, you can create your own ${HOME}/.xsession and the xdm will run your .xsession instead of the default system .xsession. Then, you/each user can tailor your own .xession to allow remote connections.

(I just joined the list , so forgive me if this is an old problem...) Well I cant seem to be able to install freebsd.. Here is what i went through... First I tried installing over ftp (from freebsd.org and other sites too) It started hanging when it was trying to log in to ftp.freebsd.org (and other sites) Then I tried using NFS. I downloaded the 2.1.0-RELEASE to a local network disk and tried . It gives the message hostname:not found and then hangs when it tries to mount the remote disk (I know for sure that the disk is being exported to my workstation) Finally I got the whole distribution to my dos partition and I tried installing it from there. Now it says unable to find root image. Then i used to root floppy to get the root image and then proceed. Now it says unable to find bin/bin.aa etc (it for all other subdirectories...proflibs etc etc) I even moved the distribution to the root directory on my dos partition.. Am i missing something?? My Hardware is as follows: Pentium (100 MHz Dell) SMC Ether EZ Card. Please tell me if u need more details Hoping for ur prompt reply balaji PS: Sorry once again for taking ur time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balaji Srinivasan Voice: (913)-864-7756(W) email: balaji@eecs.ukans.edu (913)-841-3555(H) WWW : http://www.eecs.ukans.edu/~balaji From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 20 19:57:56 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA18196 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 19:57:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from brianb3.cts.com (brianb3.cts.com [198.68.174.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA18187 for ; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 19:57:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by brianb3.cts.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA03777; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 21:00:44 -0700 Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 21:00:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Charlie ROOT To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Kernel Compile Trouble Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk When compiling, I get an Error 1 and stop.

No, two different things. '/etc/hosts' takes care of relating hostnames to IP addresses, routing is about finding the way to an IP address. Every machine has an IP address of 127.0.0.1 The machine knows how to reach this address by default, and the '/etc/hosts' file (or named, see below) relates one or more names to the address. The route_freebie line from my '/etc/sysconfig' is associated with an earlier line you don't quote. I tell the machine that my Ethernet card (device ed0) has an IP address of 10.0.0.2 and '/etc/hosts' associates the name 'freebie' with that IP address. The route_freebie line tells the machine that there is a direct connection between '127.0.0.1' and '10.0.0.2'. That's what routing is about... For a coherent explanation of IP addressing, routing, name services and (horror of horrors) sub-netting I recommend 'TCP/IP Network Administration' by Craig Hunt. It's an O'Reilly book. I've just gone back over this mail, and I have a bad feeling about the 'hosts' line above. You have a dial-up connection to an ISP, right? according to nslookup, 'chain.iafrica.com' is IP address 196.7.74.174. But you are telling your machine that it's 127.0.0.1. I suspect that packets for 'localhost' are being routed to your ISP - _that would cause the dial-up_. (It might also have an effect on the X-Windows problem you are having, but I'm not promising anything.) OK, try this... change your /etc/hosts file to contain these lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost 196.7.74.174 chain chain.iafrica.com and remove the existing 'localhost' line. You no longer have a reference for 'localhost.iafrica.com', but don't worry about it, you don't need it. > > > set debug chat > > What does this do ? Sets the amount of debugging info which is dropped into '/var/log/ppp.log' by the ppp program. See the manual page for info. I set this level so that I can see the chat script going back and forth when ppp logs in to my ISP. They occasionally suffer from router problems which mean that dialups work, but PPP doesn't and it gives me good debugging info for them. > > > By the way, are you running named? > > No - should I be ? No, well, at least not until we get this straightened out. I set up a caching-only named yesterday on my system, to reduce name resolution traffic, and partly because I'm bucking for my own domain, but that's another story. If you were running named, it would be a prime candidate for causing the dial-outs. > --- > Khetan Gajjar > Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ > Pipex-Internet Africa Operations > help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 > John -- Beavis and Butt-Head; Vladimir and Estragon for the '90s. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 20 23:23:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA26999 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 23:23:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from infolane.com (infolane.infolane.com [140.174.136.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA26989 for ; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 23:23:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from 204.188.144.58 (warriors.infolane.com) by infolane.com (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA05351; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 23:21:28 +0800 Message-Id: <3179E275.78DF@infolane.com> Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 22:23:33 -0900 From: Michael Haro Reply-To: mharo@infolane.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (Macintosh; I; PPC) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: What files do I need Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I read the documentation, and it said to download the binaries.
