Write to them that you will neither purchase nor recommend any of their
hardware until they support only Win 3.1/Win95. If they get a lot of such
messages, they _may_ change their policy.

Ok,
I think I may have solved the Annex/rfc/no-connect problem.

For those interested. I reduced the ppp 'mtu' and 'mru' options from
1500 to 296. Now connections seem to be working fine. Let me know
if not please.

I note the Annex settings were also 1500. This was probably the same
problem there. I'll see next week.

Thanks for all the feedback and help. It all may not be solved yet,
but it looks promising.

cheers
Robert

The ``:w'' is obviously me being brain-dead and "writing" the vi buffer
out while still in input mode  :-(

I doubt it. On the other hand, there appears to be a driver for
Logitech hand scanners. If someone is interested he can still try to
port it to FreeBSD.

(maybe this belongs on chat?)

I'd love to if I had the experience, sort of penance for the newbie questions I've asked. If 
you start a list like this I don't have the qualifications to meet your criteria but would 
subscribe to the list to answer any newbie questions that I can (ok they are few but I 
try!).

If your looking for people close to meeting your criteria the people who've helped me the 
most are::... (sorry, can't dob them in, mail me privately, their time may not permit!!)

It may be an idea to change questions to your newbie list with a few priveliged priviledged 
(however you spell it) users who can panic to more guru type users as the need arises. 
Hey, maybe it'll work, maybe not. But I've seen a few questions (ok very few) go unanswered 
on the list, maybe having a few people moderate the list with somewhere to go will satisfy  
even the dumbest (OK some of mine!!) questions. 

BTW, whoever draws the short straw, sorry, whoever gets this exalted position, you may need 
to keep a few of your replies for resending (i've seen a few repeat topics in my very short 
time, tried to reply to the ones I know to save the guys who know from endless repetition).

just my 2 bobs worth

   Yes. The old binaries will still be linked with libc.so.2.2 and will
continue to use that library. The upgrade you did would not have updated
that library to contain the fixes (the libc in 2.2 is libc.so.3.0). You can
fix all those things built shared by getting the fixed libc.so.2.2 from the
soon-to-be- released FreeBSD 2.1.7...or you can rebuild the binaries so that
they are linked with libc.so.3.0.

A couple months ago I configured routing on FBSD 2.1. It worked fine with
the following sysconfig:

network_interfaces="ed0 ed1 lo0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 150.254.178.65  netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 150.254.162.217 netmask 255.255.255.252"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
defaultrouter="150.254.162.218"
routedflags="-q"
gateway="YES"
gated=NO

Unfortunately, my 2.1.5 doesn't want to route. I set it up in the 
following way:

network_interfaces="ed0 ed1 lo0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 150.254.193.33  netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 150.254.162.150 netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
defaultrouter="150.254.162.145"
router=routed 
routerflags=-q
gateway="YES"

My knowledge of TCP/IP is rather limited. Have I made any mistake?
Cheers,

Bogusz

If I recall correctly, doesn't the JetDirect lpd have two queues: raw and 
text??

So you might want to try rp=text.

HJave a look at the perl compiler. Try CPAN or www.perl.com.

Not that it is much more different, but I had problems compiling Abuse 
for wintel on my FBSD machine.... hmmm wonder why!  j/k

Please stop this crazy mail.  Original poster, read the readme's as the 
site suggests when you cd to the directories, and realize what pwd you 
are in.  When I d/l things for my sparc, I look at an archie return with 
something that has to do with a sparc.  Not that this should always be 
the case, but get a bit of a CLUE!

Hi.

I recently purchased a 4x HITACHI IDE-CDROM drive, and put it in my
machine, as SLAVE on my primary IDE controller.

I added the lines 
options	ATAPI
options ATAPI_STATIC

to my kernel, along with 

device wcd0

The kernel find the drive during a probe, but I can't seem to mount the
drive.

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC21000H>
wd0: 1033MB (2116800 sectors), 2100 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <HITACHI CDR-7730/0008a>, removable, iordy
wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 128 volume levels, ejectable tray
wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <QUANTUM FIREBALL1080A>
wd2: 1039MB (2128896 sectors), 2112 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

With a data CD-ROM drive, I try

4=[root@chain] /home/khetan# mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt
cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Input/output error

With a music CD-ROM, things like cdplay won't play the CD.
Any ideas ? I've searched the mail archives, and can't seem to find what
I'm doing wrong.

PS. The drive works perfectly in DOS and Windows.

Hello all,

	I tried 2 different approaches to getting SCO to
work:
1. lkm:	putting ibcs2="YES" in /etc/sysconfig and 
	mknod /dev/socksys c 34 0
and 
2. ibcs2="NO" and add 
   options "COMPAT_IBCS2"
   options "IBCS2"
to kernel configuration file and re-build (where I had to
create an empty opt_config.h to get kernel to compile;  that
header file was missing otherwise).

I rebooted after each of the approaches and always get:
libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such device or address

even though /dev/socksys exists!  Any further help is
much appreciated. 

I am running FreeBSD 2.2/3.0 snap on a 180 MHz Pentium Pro 
workstation with 32 MBytes of RAM.

Thanks.

I'm reluctantly sending this message because I know I'm going to get a lot 
of flack, but I'm at a dead end, so I have no choice.

I bought a FreeBSD 2.0 CD at a Pro Tech bookstore here in Irving, TX.  I 
installed it on a 486dx-33 with a genuine intel cpu and 4 megs of ram.  The 
hard drive is a 1.2 gig EIDE which is partitioned into 340 megs for DOS, 
and the rest for FreeBSD.  The installation was tricky, but I got it done. 
 I created a new user account for myself, added it to the wheel group, and 
everything seemed to be just ducky.

Then I started trying to do other system admin type stuff, using vi to 
create textfiles, etc.

The problem I'm running into is that it won't let me see any of the config 
scripts that are in my home directory (home/john), unless I log in as root. 
 I'm talking about .cshrc, .profile, etc.

If I su to root, it doesn't help.  I can't even execute any of the programs 
in /sbin, like dmesg or shutdown.  If I actually log in as root, I can, but 
not if I su to root.  I even used chown to change the ownership of the 
files in my home directory to john, and chmod to set all their flag bits to 
rwx.  No difference.  I still can't see them unless I actually log in as 
root.

Another problem is the obvious differences between 2.0 and later versions. 
 The FAQs that came with my CD make no mention of how to change your system 
startup configuration, specifically how to use a different terminal spec 
than the default.  I can change the TERM environment variable temporarily 
with env, but I can't figure out where to change it permanently.  The FAQ's 
on your web site mention a system.config file that is supposed to be in 
/etc, but I can't find it.  How and where do I change TERM and TERMCAP and 
some of the other environment variables for startup?

Lastly, I was going to order your book on FreeBSD, but when I clicked to 
the order on-line screen, there was no place to select a book.  Just 6 
different listboxes with a bunch of different CD's in them.  Where do I 
order the actual book?

Now, I know what you're going to say.  I should order the latest version of 
FreeBSD and upgrade and so on. And I'm sure I will once I get to the point 
where I'm really ready to do something with it.  It's just that I spent so 
much time on setting this system up, I really hate to take a chance on 
screwing it up and having to start all over from scratch.  It was not easy 
getting this puppy to run.  Besides, the latest version of FreeBSD won't 
really run too well in 4 megs, I understand.

I'll stop rambling now.

This is long and I apologize. These problems come up frequently so I
thought I'd add my two bits in the hope that it helps.

The first step is your modem. You must set up your modem with the
following characteristics:

	Hardware flow control.		(&K3)
	Echoing off.			(E0)
	Responses off.			(Q1)
	DCD follows remote carrier.	(&C1)
	DTR drop resets modem.		(&D3 on most, but varies)
	DSR active after answer.	(&S1)
	Use profile 0 on reset.		(&Y0 - more on this later)

Log on to your modem and type AT&K3E0Q1&C1&D3&S1&Y0&W0 <return>. Don't
be surprised when nothing comes back. The modem is doing exactly what
you told it.

These settings work for most Hayes compatible modems. USR Sportsters
use dip switches for some of them, Telebit a little different. In
other words, this is an RTFM situation. It is the characteristics that
are important -- not the specific register settings. &D3 seems to vary
the most and may not exist on your modem. Look for another register
that does the same thing. I use a Zoom modem with the following stored
in profile 0:

ACTIVE PROFILE:
B1 E0 L1 M0 N1 Q1 T V1 W1 X4 Y0 &C1 &D3 &G0 &J0 &K3 &Q5 &R1 &S1 &T5 &X0 &Y0
S00:001 S01:000 S02:043 S03:013 S04:010 S05:008 S06:002 S07:050 S08:002 S09:006
S10:014 S11:095 S12:050 S18:000 S25:005 S26:001 S36:007 S37:000 S38:020 S44:020
S46:138 S48:007 S95:000 

This is what the modem restores after reset (&D3) and that's important
because you'll change those registers in your pppd chat script. (If
you add S0=1 to the above registers, your modem is now set for dial in
if you have ttyd<n> turned on in /etc/ttys.) The pppd chat script,
though needs verbose responses, at least, to do all the negotiation.
Because echoing is off, the __very first thing you must do__ in your chat
script is add 'ATE1Q0 OK' at the beginning of the send/expect
sequence. My logon script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/bin/chat -v ABORT BUSY "" \
	\\d\\dAT\\sE1\\sQ0 OK \
	\\dAT\\sL1\\sS7=60\\sS38=40 OK \
	\\dATDT1234567 CONNECT "" ogin: username word: password' \
	/dev/cuaa1 115200 crtscts \
	modem lock kdebug 1 netmask 255.255.255.224 \
	noipdefault defaultroute :10.0.0.1 
exit 0

The empty double quotes after BUSY mean "Expect nothing -- since it
isn't coming anyway" Then, on the second line is "send AT E1 Q0 and
expect OK coming back." Now that echoing and responses are on, the
rest of the chat script works correctly but we've created a problem
when the pppd session is over. If the modem does not reset to a known
and quiet condition when it hangs up, the echoing and reporting left
on in the chat script make getty think someone is trying to log on. So 
getty and the modem end up in an endless chat between themselves and 
the line is tied up.

&D3 (or whatever does the same on your modem) drops DTR which lets
getty know the session is over. It also resets the modem. Since
you've stored echoing off, etc., which is now restored on reset, the
modem is quiet and getty sits quietly by waiting for the next
connection.

Hope this helps.

Did you try
ls -a
By default ls for anyone but root will not show files that start with a 
dot. The -a (for "all") tells it to show them.

You usually modify those in a user's .cshrc, .login and .profile files 
(depending on the shell you use and the variables you want to set). 
System level configuration is in /etc/csh.login and /etc/csh.cshrc for 
(t)csh and /etc/profile for (ba)sh. man your shell for details.

FreeBSD 2.1.6R runs in 4MB. I don't think anything runs *well* in 4 megs 
these days. Memory is *very* cheap. If you are thinking seriously about 
actually using FreeBSD, not just installing it - upgrade.

What does this syslog message mean?

It comes from a FreeBSD 2.2 snap Pentium 180 MHz Pro machine.

Here's a SH script I found somewhere (I can't remember where I found
it):

bash$ cat /etc/ppp/ppp-off
#!/bin/sh

pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ X${pid} != "X" ]; then
        echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
        kill -9 ${pid}
fi

ifconfig ppp0 down
ifconfig ppp0 delete

exit 0
bash$ 

Just SU to root and run this script.  It will shutdown pppd.

Hope this helps.

Hey,

So...here's something that's annoyed me for a long time, and now someone
else has asked me the same question.

When you're in vi...if you want to wrap a paragraph of text, you might use
a command like:

	!}fmt

Now, on every machine other than mine, this works.  On my FreeBSD box, I
get:
	stty: stdin isn't a terminal

(Though the wrap works fine and there are no other problems.)

What's going on here?  How do I fix this?

Clueless,

Brian

Well I would guess you trying to use IPX with a kernel without IPX support.
You need to build a kernel with options IPX in the kernel config file.

I believe that in 1.1.5, using X11R6, I could access the virtual
screens with alt-F1...F6, corresponding to ttvy0 thru ttyv5.
ttyv6 was "off: and ttyv7 was an xterm.  From within X11, I could
press alt-Fx and access that virtual screen.  Pressing alt-F7
returned me to X11.

Now, with 2.1.5, I cannot access the virtual consoles from within
X11.  I believe the setup is the same as before.  If I do not start
xdm, I can access the virtual consoles.  But, pressing alt-F1 thru F3
produces nothing.  Pressing alt-F4 thru alt-F6 produces a beep and.
prints a 4~ thru 7~ on the screen.  I note that 6~ is skipped, as
ttyv6 is "off", so, alt-F6 produces 7~ and alt-F7 produces 8~.

Is this possible in 2.1.5 or, more likely, What am I missing?

I can't tell with this information.  

. What install method are you using?
. What is any output on the ALT-F2 debug console?
. Have you tried deleting the failed install slice and installing clean?

So this printer has a JetDirect card in it?  If so, then just submit the
jobs directly to the printer to either 'lp' for PostScript/raster jobs or
'text' for flast ASCII text.

Try this:

lp|oak|Hewlett Packard laserJet 3si:\
	:lp=/dev/null:rm=HP's_IP_Address:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd/oak:

I use a replacement lpd called 'LPRng' that works very nicely for printing
to arbitrary print queues.  No printcap's required for non-local printers.
You can find it at dickory.sdsu.edu:/pub/LPRng.  I've made sure myself
that it compiles under FreeBSD, with or without gmake.  :)

You can try posting to hackers@freebsd.org -- they may have some insight.

Have you tried blowing away /var/run/ld.so.hints, then re-running
ldconfig?

Nothing terribly obvious.  What does the output of

netstat -in

look like?

Well, that depends on what you are doing and what you mean by 'research
materials.'  If you want to just search around, UNIX may not help you too
much.  If you want to create materials or a web site or whatever, then
FreeBSD may be of use to you.

Contact ports@freebsd.org, and take a peek at the Handbook.  

There is a specific form you need to follow.

If you do not want IPX routing, add these lines to /etc/sysconfig

ipxgateway=NO
ipxrouted=NO

and then restart.  If you want IPX routing, someone else will have to help.
 I am not familiar with IPX routing.

Hope that helps,

 Nice to meet you. I'm masui@sapporo-univ.japan.

I cannot use RealAudio 'UDP MODE' with IP Filter3.1.6.
I don't know why, but NAT cannot relay UDP.
But It can relay TCP,  because RealAudio can play using 'TCP MODE'.
I Packets reached to firewall, for I show using 'trafshow'.
I know packet reaching to firewal with using 'trafshow'

I want relay UDP, because Please Help Me.
I installed IP-Filter3.1.6 on FreeBSD 2.1.6R.

Someone has to volunteer to write these drivers.  Apparently no one has
stepped forward to develop these.  You can try asking on scsi@freebsd.org,
but I doubt there's anyone working on these.

Now, if you have some programming experience and want to learn how to
write FreeBSD device drivers, YOU could write the driver...:)

"Use the port, luke!"

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11/fvwm95

Pull the entire directory and type 'make' to start the build.

Alternatively, there is the package in...FreeBSD/packages/X11/fvwm95.tgz.

(the filename has a version, I don't know it at current)

Hope this helps.

when you're in X11 use <control>-<alt>-<f1> or f2 or f3 to get to the

Whatever you think is necessary.  A P200 would be more than sufficient for
many sites.  We run a low-volume all purpose server on a 486/25sx :) and
my P133/32mb workstation would be more than sufficient.

Disable routed by setting route=NO in sysconfig.

Have you tried disabling all the other SCSi devices?

Hit scroll-lock and use theup arrowto see if the controller is even found.

The ATAPI driver is not perfect.  We've found that your chances increase
exponentially if you put the CDROM in the slave position on the primary
controller or single on the secondary controller.  This depends on your
CDROM and IDE hardware.

Unless you'd like to help the atapi improvement effort -- write
hackers@freebsd.org, and have your programming skills handy.  :)

Ugh!  Don't add packages using sysinstall, just do it manually.

 # mount /dev/cd0a /cdrom
 # cd /cdrom/packages/All
 # pkg_add [ whatever you want here ]

This should take care of your problem.

So it looks like there's a router in the middle that drops big packets
but doesn't return ICMP packet-too-big errors.  This router is in
violation of RFC1812 (but that never stops anyone).

This is a problem with Path MTU Discovery as specified; it doesn't
allow for a hop that simply discards packets with no notification.

You can probably find this hop by using traceroute; "traceroute <host>
1500" will just start timing out at the hop that is not returning ICMP
errors; then "traceroute <host>" and see what router that hop is.
Contact the owner of the router and get them to configure it (or
upgrade it) so that it replies properly when dropping a packet with DF
set.

Can someone please tell me where messages go when you download them with
popclient? I used the following command, and now the messages are deleted
from the server they were on, but nowhere to be found on the FreeBSD box!
I used this command...

popclient -3 -a -u avatar -p not4u cpl.net

thanks

This is hypothetical, and may be just me experiencing "have a hammer,
all things are nails" syndrome.  I'd like to hear what others think.

OK.  This sounds like you are getting hit by path MTU discovery (or
something like it).  TCP path MTU dscovery is described in the
wonderful _TCP_IP_Illustrated_, Volume 1, by W. Richard Stevens, in
24.2, Path MTU Discovery, page 340, which is paraphrased (and
summarized) below:

MTU is the number which indicates the largest size packet an interface
will transmit.

In path MTU discovery, packets are transmitted while marked "Don't
Fragment" (DF).  Normally, if a big (say 1500 byte IP packet) is sent
to a router which has a small MTU (say, 576 bytes), the packet is
split into fragments (of 576 bytes or so) and then these several
packets are sent through the small pipe.

With the DF bit set, when a router realizes that it is supposed to
send a 1500 byte packet through a 576 byte MTU, it returns an ICMP
error which says, essentially, "this packet is too big and you won't
let me split it up".

When the originator gets this message, it must split up the packets
and then resend them in smaller size.  By continuing to vary packet
size, the originator can then find out what the optimal size packet
is.

If the Annex doesn't respond properly to the DF bit, it may not return
the ICMP error, which, to the sender, looks like a dead link (no
packets go through, no errors return).  You may still be able to do
certain things which use small-size packets (like interactive telnets,
perhaps?).

Normally, if everything is working right, and you have smaller MTU
somewhere in the path, you'll see an initial delay as the first big
burst of data goes through the link (which sends a big enough packet
through the link to trigger the DF).

I experienced this with a Solaris machine trying to do POP mail.  What
would happen would be that the entire first message (if it were over
about 1K in size) would transmit EXTREMELY SLOWLY, followed by the
rest of the messages quickly.  The reason (I surmise) was because my
side of the link was misreporting the MSS of the link.

Because my mru was at 576, and my mtu was 1500, the originating
packets said, "it's OK to send packets up to 1500 bytes in size
through this link".  The Solaris box then sent them w/ 1500 byte size
(starting with the message--the user and password queries were too
small), which reached the 576 byte pipe to my machine, and then
bounced back with the error message, forcing retransmit.  Since popd
dumped the entire message out, the entire message was transmitted
(with the size at 1500 bytes and DF set), and had to be bounced then
retransmitted.

At least, that's my theory.

Returning to the issue, you can try to turn off path MTU discovery,
which is described in RFC 1191, if I'm reading Stevens correctly, and
see if that helps.  I'm afraid that I don't have a good picture of how
your machine and the annex relate to each other, so I'm not getting a
good picture of which machine is the gateway... eg is it:

--------------          -------------
+            +		+ 	    +
+ freebsd2.2 +----------+  annex    +-------  the world
+            +	        +           +
+-------------	        -------------

If so, then your solution of fiddling with MTU / MRU seems like the
necessary one (unless you can turn off mtu path discovery, or get the
annex upgraded)?

I hope that was at least vaguely comprehensible...?

I have a new PCI-bus motherboard. The probe reports (above) reports that
there is an IDE interface on the PCI bus and also a wdc on the isa bus.

I have noticed that in 2.2 there is a driver for the 83271SB:
(sys/pci/wd82371.c) that includes itself iff NPCI > 0. 

So what is going on here? wd82371 creates a piix device that appears to
be a DMA controller. Does the wdc driver magically use this? I simply
fail to see where that is happening.

Well, that really sounded like it would be solve the problem, but as the

I downloaded the 2.2 Gamma - 970209 distribution package today and (as 
well as other 2.2 gammas) have had two problems that I didn't see in 
2.1.6:

1)  Setting Time Zone:  In 2.1.6, It takes into account UTC, and I was 
able to set my time properly (using Sysinstall)   However, in 2.2gamma, 
since Sysinstall Doesn't ask for UTC, I am stuck having an improper time 
being displayed..  I have to add -u to the date command to be able to get 
it to show right, and it adds GMT for the Zone.  

2)  X Windows:  I never saw this in 2.1.6, but when I load certain 
programs and especially my X servers themselves (VGA16 and SVGA) I get 
the following line on the console screen:

     /kernel medieval cmd XF86_SVGA pid 197 tried to use the non-present 
SYSVSHM.

I know what the medieval is, but I'm guessing that SYSVSHM was either 
removed or not placed in 2.2, and I'm not sure if it's really anything 
major, but wanted to let you know.

I like having FreeBSD, it's a nice way to get into UNIX while not having 
to be at work!  :)   Keep up the good work.

Good, because it isn't in the code :-).  I have hacked a little on it,
but with little success.  I mostly suggest that you make sure that your
bios is "tuned-up" to the speed that the drive can support, and FreeBSD
will use the PIO mode that the bios sets.

Someday, someone will add the DMA support.  PIO is really slow on P6
machines as I have heard.

Uh... right.  Pardon me while I put on my "that was a stupid idea" hat.
If you don't mind modifying the source, it's fairly straightforward;
look for where it sets up the IP header and set ip_off to IP_DF instead
of 0.

*laugh*  OK.  I might put that down as a useful runtime addition.  
However right at the moment there is not much to do, as Robert now has 
his pppd insisting on a MRU or 296, so Max1.mackay.aone.net.au is using 
that as an MTU on his interface.  This is shown by John Capo's message.

Robert, you might like to try upping your MRU to see how big you can make 
it before things stop working.

Hello,

Situation:
I was installing FreeBSD 2.1.6
I had a power failure. . . 
Since than I have decided to install FreeBSD on another hard drive.

Question:
I want to format my crashed drive back for a DOS.
When I boot from DOS Bootable diskette I get the message:
"Memory Allocation Error
Cannot load command, System halted"

My another drive works perfectly on that machine (win95 and NT) so
definetely it is not a hardware problem, just the DISK...
I cannot get even to fdisk utility...

Please HELP...

Regards

Sebastian

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===================================================

Last update 17 October 1996.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

=====================================================================

Contents:

I:    Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
IV:   How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===============

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

       Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break-
       ing into other people's computers.  The correct term for
       the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press
       hasn't found out yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove
       strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with
       it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==============================================

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG.  In this message, amongst other things, it
told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list!
  
  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
  you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command
  in the body of your email message:
  
      unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <grog@lemis.de>
  
  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:
  
  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS               User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you
subscribed.  In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct
name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in
handy.  If you have not kept it, all is not lost.  Send a message to
majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group.  In the
text of the message, write:

  who freebsd-questions

The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll
see a number of names like:

  freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com
  <lists-freefall-freebsd-questions@galileo.polito.it>
  freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de
  incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com
  freebsd-questions@clinet.fi
  freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov

If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one
it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're not sure which
one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from
freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS
-----------------

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things
out for you.  DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III:  How to submit a question
==============================

When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the
following points:

1.  Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question.
    They do it of their own free will.  You can influence this free
    will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying
    as much relevant information as possible.  You can influence this
    free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or
    rude question.  It's perfectly possible to send a message to
    FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer.  In the rest of this
    document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question
    to FreeBSD-questions.

2.  Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message:
    they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests
    them.  Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject.
    "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough.  If you provide no
    subject at all, many people won't bother reading it.  If your
    subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may
    not read it.

3.  Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T
    SHOUT!!!!!.  We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak
    English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for
    that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written
    full of typos or without any line breaks.

    A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers.  The
    mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders.  If at all
    possible, use a UNIX mailer.  If you must use a mailer under
    Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly.  Try not
    to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very
    well with MIME.

4.  Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly.  This may
    seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many
    of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages
    a day.  They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and
    by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer,
    they may assume they missed it and not bother to look.

5.  Don't include unrelated questions in the same message.  Firstly, a
    long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more
    difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions
    to read the message.

6.  Specify as much information as possible.  This is a difficult
    area, and we need to expand on what information you need to
    submit, but here's a start:

    - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say
      (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'".
    - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for
      example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode
      isn't'".
    - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what
      hardware you have.  In particular, it's important to know the
      IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine.

7.  If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could
    be other reasons.  For example, the problem is so complicated that
    nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer
    was offline.  If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it
    might help to re-send the message.  If you don't get an answer to
    your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one
    from this forum.  Resending the same message again and again will
    only make you unpopular.

To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following
question.  You choose which of these two questions you would be more
prepared to answer:

Message 1:
Subject: (none)

I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message 2:
Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD

I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm
having a lot of difficulty installing it.  I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16
MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball
disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive.  The installation works just
fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing
Operating System".

----------------------------------------------------------------------


IV: How to answer a question
============================

Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider:

1.  A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to
    answering questions.  Read them.

2.  Has somebody already answered the question?  The easiest way to
    check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then
    (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all
    together.

    If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean
    that you shouldn't send another answer.  But it makes sense to
    read all the other answers first.

3.  Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been
    said?  In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much,
    although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a
    problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or
    whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software.  If
    you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further
    relevant information.

4.  Are you sure your answer is correct?  If not, wait a day or so.
    If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply
    and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since
    nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI
    CD-ROM with a frog?".

5.  Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds
    of CCs.  Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply
    to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions.

6.  Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique
    to identify which text came from the original message, and which
    text you add.  I personally find that prepending "> " to the
    original message works best.  Leaving white space after the ">"
    and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both
    make the result more readable.

    Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a
    text such as "Re: ".  If your mailer doesn't do it automatically,
    you should do it manually.

    If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too
    long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it.  In the case
    of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the
    subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was:
    HELP!!??)".  That way other people trying to follow the thread
    will have less difficulty following it.

    In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a
web page or any other online documentation.  The result is that most
leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are
printed.  Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut
Creek, is no exception.  Since going to press, a number of anomalies
have surfaced.  

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos.
They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the
time of writing the only edition that is available).  If you have this
book, please check this list.  I apply these changes to the current
source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it
as well.  If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please
contact me (grog@freebsd.org).

  --- Changes: 5 December 1996 ---

Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment.
Replace with:

   If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel
   source has not been installed.  To install from the CD-ROM, perform the
   following steps:
   
   # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
   # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys
   # cd /
   # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf -
   
   The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly
   necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may
   end up with two different copies of the sources.



  --- Changes: 28 November 1996 ---

Page 135, second paragraph:  replace with

   In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't
   already exist.  By default, the system contains four virtual
   terminal devices in the /dev directory.  If you use more than this
   number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162),
   or with mknod (see page 573).  When calculating how many devices
   you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal
   device without a getty for the X server.  For example, if you have
   enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want
   to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0
   through /dev/ttyv6).  With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual
   terminals you need:

   # cd /dev
   # ./MAKEDEV vty7		make 7 vtys

   Alternatively, you can do this with mknod:

   # cd /dev
   # ls -l ttyv0
   crw-------  1 root  wheel   12,   0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0
   # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3
   # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4
   # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5
   # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6

   In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to
   check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the
   12, in this example; it may change from one release to another).
   You need to specify this number to mknod.  For more details about
   major and minor device numbers, see page 160.

  --- Changes: 20 November 1996 ---

Figure 10-4, page 172:  The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called
/dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h
as shown.

Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still*
called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through
/dev/sd1s1h as shown.  (Well, at least the average turned out right :-)

The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of
the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start
with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with
lower-case letters.  Sorry about that.  If you're looking for a man
page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on
page vi.

The man pages are really just excerpts.  The total FreeBSD man pages
format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this
book.

    --- Changes: 1 November 1996 ---

Major changes:

1.  No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives.

    When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a
    separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM
    drives.  This is no longer the case.  The following modifications
    to the text come as a result:

    Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and
    inst_ide.bat.  FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies
    and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives.

    Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk
    (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp).  If you are creating the boot floppy
    with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the
    floppy."  The resultant text reads:

        IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives,
	are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same
	controller as your IDE hard disk.  Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5
	support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test.  In order to
	install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as
	slave device.  The installation may or may not work--please
	let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some
	indication about the cause of the trouble.  You can also
	create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program
	(see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38).

    Page 35:  Remove the points referring to atapi.flp.  The text for
    the third box from the bottom of the page should read:

         If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot
	 floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette.
	 Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to
	 diskette.  Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39.
	 If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section
	 on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts,
	 page 29.

    Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI.  The
    resultant text should read:

         Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail
	 with the message not enough memory.  The boot will progress
	 in the same way as if you had booted from floppy.  The
	 advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more
	 documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the
	 system.

	 INSTALL doesn't always work.  It depends on what drivers or
	 TSRs are in your system.  There's no reason to try changing
	 your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot
	 easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further
	 information).

2.  Changes to section on installing a second disk.

    Page 170:  The bottom paragraph should read:

	 When the message Three seconds until format
	 begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting
	 CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears.  After that,
	 you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by
	 themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format
	 the disk.  Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk
	 activity lamp will also not light up, and since the
	 scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU
	 time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is
	 going on.  The disk format can take a long time--depending on
	 the disk, up to 90 minutes.

    Page 173, after table 10-5:  Add the text

         If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different
         idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did.  Possibly
         you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or
         maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker.  In
         all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the
         incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a
         valid partition table.  For example, this happened with a
         disk formatted for BSD/OS:

         # scsiformat sd1

                 end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255
         The data for partition 1 is:

             start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0

                 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98;
                 end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0
         The data for partition 3 is:
         <UNUSED>

         Looking at the output from dmesg, we see:

         (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
         sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors)
         sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track

         In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760
         cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track.  What's less
         obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have
         an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615
         sectors.  Unfortunately, if you calculate the number
         according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll
         come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77
         = 2,032,800.  How come?  The disks report the total number of
         sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use
         them all.  The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you
         try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots
         of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the
         disk.

    Page 173, middle of page.  Change the text after the "no magic"
    message to:

         The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple
	 smoke.  It refers to the fact that it didn't find the
	 so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table.
	 Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't
	 surprising. It's also completely harmless.

    Page 173, last example.  Remove the first 22 lines, from

	 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 *******

    to, but not including the next occurrence of this line.

    Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet

	 * The total number of sectors in the partition.  Calculate
	   the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x
	   sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output
	   from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here.

    Page 178, middle of page: after

	 # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161

    insert

         When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity
	 display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''.  Since there
	 isn't any label, it can't be found.  This is another harmless
	 chicken and egg problem.

    Page 182:  In the section "Creating the file systems", add the
    first line to the example:

	 # newfs /dev/rsd1h

    Further down the page, the last example should also read

	 # newfs /dev/rsd1h

3.  Other changes

    Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition".
    Add the text:

         It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition
         on the first disk.  At the moment, it's not possible to
         install from extended partitions.

    Page 136, bottom:  Add the text

	 If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy
	 enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things
	 up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the
	 password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens).  If
	 you're running X, open another window and use su to become
	 root.  If you're running in character mode, select another
	 virtual terminal and log in as root there.  Only when you're
	 sure you can still access root should you log out.

    Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual".  Add:

	 Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to
	 build the cross-references.

    Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled.  It should
    read:

         ze0	214      IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller
	 zp0	214	 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III

    Page 205:  Change the section titled "lpt0" to:

	 lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could
	 conceivably have.  Most people don't have three printers: you
	 can comment out the definitions of the printers which you
	 don't have.

    Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec
    274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller"

Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these
bugs.

   Good, because it isn't in the code :-).  I have hacked a little on it,
   but with little success.  I mostly suggest that you make sure that your
   bios is "tuned-up" to the speed that the drive can support, and FreeBSD
   will use the PIO mode that the bios sets.

   Someday, someone will add the DMA support.  PIO is really slow on P6
   machines as I have heard.

   John

uhm. so you elided the bit at the top that showed that the wdc
controller was found on the isa bus. That implies to me that FreeBSD
will use the isa bus to talk to the controller, right?

2nd question... should i be thinking in terms of adding code to the piix
driver to make it work?

Heavens no.  The hardware makes it look like it is on the ISA bus,
but it isn't really.  You can get some really high transfer rates
because the ISA bus is bypassed.

Would be a good, productive project.  I'd use it if you'd get it working.
I am willing to give you a bit of help if you want.  The PIIX docs
are online at Intel also.

working right.  (BTW:  my ISP has variable gateways, too...)  I've got
everything configure properly (I think...)  Just thought I'd let you know.
If you have any suggestions as to how I could get it to work - I'm

Hi!

We have a customer asking for a driver to his Goldstar 8X CD-ROM for
use with FreeBSD 2.6.1, do you know if this driver is available and
where
to get it?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have X up and running and it everything appears to work fine.  However,
in the console log I am getting the following message over and over again: 

Feb  9 21:57:00 peloton init: getty repeating too quickly on port
/dev/ttyv4, sleeping 30 secs

I assume this is due to a slight misconfigure of the XF86Config file, but
I don't know what.  I am running a #9 FX 771 4Mb card with a Nanao T2-17TS
monitor.  Here's how I have the card configured in XF86Config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "#9 FX 771"
    VendorName  "#9"
    BoardName   "FX 771"
    #VideoRam    4096
   #s3RefClk  16
# Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly
# (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try
# option "nomemaccess".
#
# Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

I got this configuration via the xf86config utility.  When it asked about
RAMDAC however I didn't know what to put so I just hit return.  Since this
mentions clocks as well, I'm wondering if that might be the problem.  Any
ideas? 

Thanks a lot ahead of time for your help!

Not related, at least not directly.

How many vt's does dmesg say your kernel is configured for? What
vt does X say it is running on at startup?

My guess is that you have a getty enabled on ttyv4 (in /etc/ttys)
but you only have 4 vt's enabled (0 - 3). It is going to be
related to that, anyway.

Hi, I have a project that using BSD 2.1.6 to implement a syscall.
I need to add a new mapping from syscall number
to kernel handler function. For instance, I need to map syscall number
151 to a function called foo().  I undestand I need to edit the file,
syscall.master line 151,
change that line from  151 UNIMPL 0 NOHIDE nosys
		  to:
		       151 STD 2 BSD semaphore

Then I need to run makesyscalls.sh. This generatess syscalls.c. But I don't
know how to  run the makesyscalls.sh ?

Then also , I need to define a syscall handler for this in the kern directory.
But I don't know how to do this. Some people told me to look at other syscall
handlers(i.e. vfs_syscalls.c) to get some idea of function declaration, but the
file is too big, I can't figure out what can I get from other files!

Then I need to re-configure and re-make kernel and in the end, after reboot,
I can access my syscall with  syscall(151,arg1,arg2)

If someone knows all those stuff, understand those things, please email me back!
Would you also give me an example that the function foo() need to use the 
args?  Also, is that true that those arguments are only for another 
funtion-- the syscall handler? I just so confused about all these 
things, please give me one simple example, one simple example of this 
implementation. Thanks.

Greetings,

I'm still having problems with rdump.  I have a link to rmt in my
/etc direcory, and I've attached (text only, not mime)  the output from 
rsh env and the /etc/profile and the modes for /etc/rmt.
Anyway, I still get ksh: rmt: not found.  If I change my default shell
to csh then it works.  So, how do I get ksh to get /sbin into it's
path when called via rsh?!?

Thanks

hmm... a while ago i fired up a machine with 128 megs ram and 4 scsi
disks, each carrying 128 megs swap, total 512 megs swap. and when i will
be adding more drives i will put those into the swap chain too...

there's never "too much" swap i guess, specially since the drives comes cheapo.

also i wonder the general filesystem setup the person has in his server,
even though this might be slightly off topic, and basic knowledge, i think
it doesnt hurt to say it out loud. =)

i trust you isp people run your /var/mail on separate filesystem, right?
(even going for several filesystems between clients is not too paranoid)

the first thing an isp has to consider is someone attacking with denial
of service attempts.

and general question, how much mail space would be the "good" amount per
customer? one/two/three megs? (assuming client doesnt save email on the
server side) should the quota include mail space? should i restrict
the mail size?

i personally would quota, and give one meg max.

I'm having trouble detecting my Adaptec 2940 UW PCI controller.
I believe the ahc0 is the appropriate device.

But I can't see that particular device (ahc0) anywhere in the list
as the machine boots.

1. Does anyone know at what point in the 'list' it should be:
   Should it be towards the end, following 'Probing for devices on PCI 
   bus'?

2. Is it possible that that particular device isn't included in the
   generic kernel, and that I have to build a special kernel?

Dear Sirs,                               10 February 1997 

  Hello!   Let me introduce briefly about myself.  
  I am a Korean.
  I am a computer engineer working for one of the ISPs, Hyundai Information
Technology.   
  I am  much interested in FreeBSD.  FreeBSD has been used for my personal
research and development.
  As I have been using it, I am deeply grateful for that you have studied 
and improved such a great operation system and has opened it to everybody.  
  It occured to my mind that I would like to write a book on it as I have
used your system for a long time.  

In order to do it, let me ask you a few inquiries regarding the work .

 1.  Please let me know whether it will be reasonable if I produce CD-ROM
after I download
     FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE from your server through FTP.
     I'd like to attatch it as an appendix of my book.

 2.  May I quote specific part of "Free BSD Handbook" in process of writing
inevitably? 
     (I will indicate the source from which I quote.) 
 
  Those are the points I am wondering about.   Please reply at your
earliest convenience.

  Your cooperation on this would be highly appreciated.
  I wish further development of Free BSD.
       
   Sincerely Yours,

It should be automaticaly deteced. However, the probe seems to be
effected by other probes. Try booting -c and disable *all* the devices
you don't have (I think aha0 is what causes this specific problem). It
should then be detected. Also check if your card is of the -A variant.
The -A variants are only supported by 2.1.6R and higher. If you use
2.1.5R an -A card will not be recognized.

Thats the problem I have

pseudo-device   pty     64              # pseudo-terminals

(entry from kernel config)

However I can only seem to get a max of 32 xterms

Hi!,

 I solved the problem thanks to suggestions I  received. Thank you!!

 The problem was that there was a clash of SCSI ID'ss. CDROM I use (Matsushita
8X) supposed to come with factory preset SCSI ID#6 and the Hard Disk at
#0. What has happened was that Gateway people seemed to have changed the CDROM
ID to #0. (I've NO idea why). Fortunately 'cos HD is SCAM compliant, 2940uw
automatically detects the conflict and assigns HD #15. This works for
Win95. But not for FreeBSD. So I changed the CDROM SCSI ID back to #6 and now
everything is OK!! 

Best Regards,
Ajith.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a Gateway 2000 486sx33 machine, connecting via
PPP to a Pipex caller account in the UK via 28k8 modem.

I have an iijppp configuration that works consistently well if I connect and
disconnect using the 'dial' and 'close' commands. However, if I then try to
use the automatic mode with an equivalent configuration, the ppp process
sometimes (but not always) core dumps about two seconds after the IP layer
comes up. I've tried enabling full logging, and this shows up nothing untoward
in the traffic over the link at any point before the disaster. I've also tried
recompiling ppp with '-g -O0' and gdb-ing the output, but whatever went wrong
broke things so badly that gdb couldn't give me a backtrace.

This looks to me like a memory allocation/stray pointer problem that would be
extremely hard for me to diagnose myself.

Is this a known problem? Are there any known fixes? I assume I'm not the only
person who wants to use the automatic mode, and that others have it working
fine.

Thanks for any help,

--Clive.

I've seen it somewhere, but can't find it.
How does one measure the traffic received by the site.?

Hello,

I am LAN administrator from Academy of Economical Studies of Moldova.

We tried to install FreeBSD 2.1.6 on our server, but there are some 
problems. 

We needs your help for configure NFS Server. Would you be so kindly to 
help us to solve our problem. After installing FreeBSD we run NFS
Service, but system send a message that Network Look Manager is not 
installed.

What should we do to install and configure Network Look Manager?

Did FreeBSD support AMD Network Card? If yes, where can we find the 
necessary driver(s).

Please answer at e-mail:  vadim@econ.moldnet.md


  Thank you beforehand.

Hello,
   I recently bought a 3Gb SCSI drive to replace the IDE disks that had
been in my machine. After I had disklabeled, installed bootblocks, moved
the file systems and installed a new kernel, I removed the IDE and
booted the new setup. To my amazement the new kernel continued to want
wd0a as its root device, even though `root on sd0' had been in the
config file.

   Things even went so far that even though I typed `sd(0,a)/kernel',
the machine said it was booting from `wd(0,a)/kernel'. The kernel was
still loaded from the SCSI drive. It later said `changing root device
to wd0a'. My DOS stuff (on the same disk) was and is working perfectly.

   After some hair-pulling, I started looking at the boot block source.
I have some theories as to why things are going wrong. It seems to me
that the variable `maj' gets zeroed between the assignment
`maj = devp-devs' in sys.c:openrd() and the `MAKEBOOTDEV()' macro in
boot.c:loadprog(). It's probably before the call to loadprog(), since
the printf() at early in loadprog() reports maj=0. Changing the `maj' in
the MAKEBOOTDEV() macro to `4' solves the problem. So (probably) would
an assignment `maj=4' early in loadprog. It's ugly but it works.

   Has anyone else here had similar problems? For your information, I'm
running -current (CTM-current around 3000, IIRC) on a noname pentium
board with an NCR PCI SCSI controller. More detailed information
available on request.

I've been getting some unexpected errors (the best kind) when 
ftp'ing to my FreeBSD 2.1.5R machine running vanilla ftpd.

1) When I'm logged in as a real user (e.g. ben) locally or remotely, I 
can do ls or dir with no problems.

2) When I'm logged in as anonymous or ftp *from a remote site*, I can do 
ls but dir gets me "no ld.so".

3) When I'm logged in as anonymous or ftp from localhost, both ls and dir 
get "no ld.so".

4) nlist, which I stumbled across while looking at the help feature, 
works all the time.

The only other data point I can think of that might be relevant is that I 
replaced /bin/ls with a statically-compiled version of the colorls port, 
renaming the old ls to ls.old.

I've tried symlinking and alternately copying /usr/libexec/ld.so to 
/var/ftp, with no effect.

Hello all,

I have recently attempted to install 2.1.6 (Walnut Creek) using
the CD-ROM version, to no avail.  I have an atapi cd.  The Docs
indicates the need for an atapi.flp instead of the boot.flp (at
least for 2.1.5, which is the version discussed in the hard
copy docs I am referring to).

The install doc for 2.1.6 doesn't say anything about atapi.flp,
however.  But it does mention an early support for atapi devices
named wcd.  Well, the device is not there when I generate the
boot floppy (using boot.flp of 2.1.6) and there is no atapi.flp
on the cd-rom.  So how are we supposed to get the wcd device?

Also, does anyone know if the Walnut Creek 2.1.6 release has the
fix for the setlocale problem?

Thanks,
Thabet Birro <tbirro@iu.net>
p.s. please cc me on your response as I am not subscribed to this

Has anybody tried Applixware on FreeBSD. They don't have a BSD version,
but they have both SCO Openserver 3.2 and Linux versions. Does it work
under either of these emulators?

did you also remove the IDE disk from the BIOS setup ? The bootblocks
just use what the BIOS tells them. If the BIOS says that there's an
IDE disk, then the behavior you're seeing would be explained.

   I removed the disk from the BIOS setup, disabled the onboard IDE
controllers and removed the drives and cables from the machine. The
problem could only have been lurking in the bootblocks or somewhere
deep in the BIOS. Of course, after it wanted an IDE disk I was forced
to put an IDE disk back in the machine. I've patched the problem
(and removed the IDE stuff) but it is still strange.

You need to use a subject in your mail, or people tend to ignore it.
You may want to cc: jkh@freebsd.org and ask him about this.  I think 
you can go ahead and do it.  The copyrights are all berkeley based,
which means you can do anything you want to it, so long as the copyright
is referenced.  

I would wait a week and get either the 2.1.7 supplemental stable release,
or the 2.2.0 release.

			Hi!
	Is compiled-in kernel -c editor == -20K of RAM? .If I build my own 
kernel with any needed devices , but with -c editor ,at booting time 
the kernel reports me : real memory = 32768K , avail memory = 29816K .If I
exclude USERCONFIG and VISUAL_USERCONFIG options , kernel reports :
real memory = 32768K , avail memory = 29836K . Is it mean what -c editor
presents in RAM after boot stage ? Why ? 

					Vasily.

I don't quota, as I would be really pissed if my mail started bouncing
if I got a flurry of mail.  On my system, the average mailbox is 221K,
the largest is 16Meg.

because it's compiled into the kernel, of course, as you already
noticed yourself.

I am trying to set up a system which will boot DOS, WinNT 4 and FreeBSD 2.1.5.
I have two SCSI disks and a SCSI CD running off of a Tekram DC390F controller.
I have the Tekram FreeBSD disks and can run a multiple OS systems with
either
	1) DOS and WinNT 4
or
	2) DOS and FreeBSD

However, my goal is to run all three with DOS and WinNT on sd0
and FreeBSD on sd1 using the WinNT loader to load the OS (alternative
suggestions are welcome). I have small FAT partitions at the start of
each disk to get around geometry complaints at bootup and am loading
FreeBSD into the second partition. When I follow the FAQ on using the
WinNT loader and select FreeBSD, I get a
	No boot partition
message. I suspect that either I did not get the correct boot block or
that the FAQ does not work when the multiple OS are across more than
one disk.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

thanks

 I have a Sharp PC-9020 laptop on which I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.6
amd XFree86-3.2. The laptop
has a built-in touch pad connected to Com 1, IRQ 4. When I boot up
FreeBSD, sio0 is detected at
0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa as type 16550A. I can not determine what device
it has been configured to, however. If i "cat < /dev/cuaa0" I get no
response from touching the touch pad. I have been unable to bring up X
as I can not find the touch pad. I have tried linking /dev/mouse ->
/dev/cuaa0 with no luck.

In the FreeBSD boot-up process, after finding sio0, it must be
configured to some device. How can I find out what device this is?

The doc's on atapi.flp date back to 2.1.0. It's not required for neither 
2.1.5 nor 2.1.6. Just use the standard boot.flp.

What do you mean the device is not there? It will not show up in the 
configuration editor. Make sure your ATAPI CD is connected to either the 
slave position on the primary controller or the master position on the 
secondary controller, boot, and check to see if the kernel shows a 
message showing that your drive is detected. You'll want to have the CD 
in the drive when you turn the power on. Sometimes it helps.

2.1.6R has the buggy version. Consult the web site for the way to patch 
it up once you get your system up and running.

Enable bpf in your kernel config file

psuedo-device bpfilter 4

and then run config and make a new kernel.

Run tcpdump on the interface(s) you are interested in.  Experiment
with the options to tcpdump, I use

	tcpdump -p -i ed1 -t -n -q gateway gateway.fqdn > logfile

to track traffic across gateway interfaces.  With these options
the log file is pretty easy to parse.  I'm interested in total
traffic but you can break out TX vs RX pretty easily.

No, I'm quite sure ahc is in GENERIC.

Have you tried disabling the devices that you don't have in UserConfig
(boot: -c)?  

Have you given the device an IRQ, if you need to assign it manually? (some
older BIOSes do this)

Pardon the off-topic post: where would I look for this subject on the Web?

In other words, at the point that I want to get a domain name registered for 
a non-commercial function (presumably a .org), are there any prerequisites I 
should be aware of?  Two name servers and someone willing to route a class C 
address I pretty much know about already, having already crowbarred my 
present company on the Internet (and a branch office to follow).

The rules for .com, .net, and so on seem pretty clear-cut, but all "Zen and 
the Art of the Internet" seems to say on .org is:
 
org
This is a domain reserved for private organizations, who don't
comfortably fit in the other classes of domains.  One example is the
Electronic Frontier Foundation named eff.org.
 

Such as being registered as non-profit with somebody, showing a membership,
etc.  Or is it as simple as picking a unique "something.org" (and the ISP,
registration/maintenance fees) because I want a domain name of my own (which 
I'd prefer)?  The day will certainly come when I'm not at this wonderful 
company, and I'd rather not be a shell account on someone else's system, 
except as a temporary evil.

thanks for any info,
larry

You need to copy ls from /bin to ~ftp/bin, since anonymous logins are
chroot()ed to ~ftp/, which means that ~ftp becomes the root directory (/)
for that process . See the ftpd(8) man page for instructions on setting up
anonymous logins.

Are you sure it compiled statically?  It's acting like it didn't.

You'd have to create ~ftp/usr/libexec/ and copy ld.so there.  But you need
to check and make extra sure that colorls was properly compiled.

Note that many ftp clients won't grok color ANSI codes properly, so this
is a bit of a waste, IMHO.

It doesn't exist anymore.  The atapi driver is built into the regular
boot.flp.

Your CD was not detected.  Try moving it to the slave position on the
primary IDE controller.

No.  2.1.6 was the affected release; it has been pulled until a new, fixed
2.1.7 is released.

The set timezone item should be on the post-install menu.

It's not in the GENERIC kernel, but is in the system.  Just rebuild your
kernel with the SYSV* options.

Weird.  Put your statically linked ls in the ftp user's ~/bin
directory.  That should fix your problem.

Why remote users can run ls is puzzling.

Well, what they do have left is the FreeBSD 2.0/NetBSD v1.0 release by Info.

The Goldstar's are supported through the ATAPI driver.

We've been having special problems with these probing up.  Try moving it
to the slave position on the primary IDE controller, or alone on the
secondary controller.

Usually laptop mice are PS/2 devices, using the psm0 device.  (At least my
touchpad is on my CTX.)

That's correct...What did you set the protocol as in /etc/XF86Config?  It
should be set to "Microsoft" if it's serial or "PS/2" if it uses psm0.
Also make sure that X *is* looking at /dev/mouse and not something else.

Looks like your boot floppy is busted.

If you can boot win95, then you have fdisk & format available.  Just drop
to a DOS prompt and fire away.

Subject: accessing DOS extended partitions
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Hello !

I'm a new user to FreeBSD, so be carefull - maybe this is a dumb question !

In order to install FreeBSD 2.1.6, I splitted my Primary DOS Partition on drive
C with
the fips util. Then I used the Novice Installation on the new partition and
everything just worked without any problems ! I even managed to compile a new
kernel on the first try - like you described it in the manual !

The splitted DOS partition C is read/write -able without problems.
The problem now is: I cannot mount my extended DOS partitions drives D and E:
(with the GENERIC and my own kernel build) the command looks like

[root]# mount -t msdos /dev/wd1s1 /dos_d
msdos: mount: Invalid argument

My setup:
primary IDE controller: master 540MB Quantum LPS540A
                               DOS 220MB C: wd0s1
                               BSD 300MB    wd0s2
                        slave  2GB Maxtor 72004 AP
                               DOS 950MB D: wd1s1
                               DOS 950MB E: wd1s2
secondary IDE controller: not used

When the 'mount' is issued, the drive access indicator flashes an you can
hear the drive being accessed. So why do I get the above error message ?
Can anybody help me, please ?!?

This has been discussed before.  I could not find it by searching
FreeBSD.org.

I am running 2.1.5.

When I "ping xxxx", I get "No buffer space available".  This happened
after several lost packets.  "xxxx" is any node byt the local host.
Rebooting clears the problem until another group of lost packets.

What was the fix for this?

Hi,
	We have a prospective system that will involve a Telebit router connected to 5 modems taking incomming UUCP connections. These connections will then be made to a freebsd machine, eiother over TCPIP of via a serial connection to the FREEBSD box.

	The data trasnferrred must be passed to the process on the fReebsd box, then then mails it.

	I am looking for information regarding the possible serial connection,
its configuration, and problems, especially with relevance to UUCP transfer


	Cheers,
		Neil

$250 is just too much for just a personal laptop for home use only.

Then I'd rather use the somewhat broken Xfree server (for my cl7543)
and see that a good version will appear soon. The performance doesn't
really matter to me.

Well, the entries are correct but you sure have a lot of errors and
collisions on ed1.  You should check your cabling etc..

This also looks correct except that you aren't getting any traffic
from the network on ed0 (no arp entries).

I've forgotten the original question, unless it was a generic I can't route.
Could you restate it please?  Also, can any of the hosts on the
150.254.162.144/28 net talk to this machine?

Also, if 150.254.162.144/28 is a simple subnet (no other routers on it)
turn off routed and see how that works.  Your default and ifconfig'd
statics will take care of routing in that case.

Well, nothing is invulnerable to viruses.  As long as you have writable
executables, that is.  Scripts are an especially easy target :)

Running as root and executing any but strictly trusted code is brain dead,
though.

Well, I thought the same thing.  But I ran file(1) and ldd(1) on it, and 
neither of them seemed to think it was dynamic.

I'll try this next.

There also is no way to send the -G option, as far as I know, which turns
the codes on in the first place.  It's not a matter of getting colorls
working, it's a matter of getting ls at all!

At least once every hour, I have a message flash across my screen like
this:

> ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 9249
> ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 625
> ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 1506

I know the problem is a cheep Ethernet card, (which functions correctly),
but being a *poor* college student, I can't afford another one.  My
question, short of playing with the if_ed.c kernel file, is there a way
I can instruct syslogd *not* to log these messages but to log the rest of
the kernel error messages.

I didn't see any help in the man pages...

Thanks,

Greg.

Is anyone familiar with routing in a dialout annex's config.annex
file, where the annex is connected to a small ethernert, and used
as a gateway/router to the Internet.

I thinkn i had it right, now I'm not so sure?

thanks

The extended partitions can be mounted, but you have to mount from slice 5
on up, so for your first logical disk, it's mount -t msdos /dev/wd1s5
/dos_d.  I think.

It works fine by default (with the GENERIC kernel).  You can make your own
kernel with Pentium-specific options.  The instructions are in the
Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org.

        I have been trying install FreeBSD but when I try to configure the X

going to go into graphic mode to configure the X server, but it repeats the
same error message back about 7 or 8 times and then quits back to the
sysinstall screen.

The error message says it's a failure to init something and reports back
error number 61

Subject: uucp errors after upgrading ZyXEL modem to ISDN
Reply-To: ben@stuyts.nl
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Dear net,

I have upgraded my ZyXEL Elite modem to ISDN. Since then I have been having  
intermittent problems with uucp sessions: sometimes packets arrive with bad  
checksums or out of order. Sometimes whole sessions go without any problem.

I only see this problem with high-speed ISDN connections. There are no  
problems with V34 (max 28.8k) connections. It looks like a handshake problem,  
but it isn't. I have checked both the lights on the front panel of the modem,  
and with a small rs232 tester. RTS goes off and on. The modem is configured  
for rts/cts handshaking. I am using the i protocol with default 1024/16  
windows. There are no sio overflow errors in the console.

I am running freebsd 2.2 gamma up to ctm 148. The machine has a Pentium 166  
on a Gigabyte 586DX motherboard, and I am using the built-in serial ports.  
(cuaa0 in this case.) I have set up /etc/rc.serial to init port 0 as a modem  
port. Port speed is set to 115200. The ZyXEL's firmware is v2.04.

When I try to ftp a large file, using ppp over this same modem, and to the  
same provider, I get no errors. (At least, the transfer rate is what it should  
be, and netstat -i shows no errors.)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben

The solution is hardware.  I've debugged this a couple of hundred times,
and the manipulation I've said below is the usual solution.

It's not hard to change -- it's a matter of changing cables and jumpers.
You'll need to examine the drive(s) or have their manuals available to
figure out the jumper configuration, but beyond that no editing is
necessary in the BIOS.

I just called them, if any one is interested they have four v2.0.0R for 
$5.00us plus about $2 for shipping.  They know it's old but they got it as an

I am having problems with both PPP and PPPD in FreeBSD 2.1.6, and am
totally lost.  I have researched the man pages, followed the tutorial on
www.freebsd.org/tutorial/ppp, been helped by people in #freebsd on IRC,
and even talked to tech-supt at cdrom.com to no avail.

For PPP:

I setup /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, ppp.linkup, ppp.secret, and /etc/resolv.conf
with the correct information.  I go into PPP, and start the term -- I
can log in fine, and the PPP session starts.  Netstat -rn returns that a
defaultroute HAS BEEN ADDED.  Unfortunately, no outside systems are
reachable, and I can't even ping localhost anymore.  Without PPP
running, pinging localhost works just fine.

For PPPD:

I setup /root/pap with my username and password, /etc/ppp/options for
the PPPD options, and /etc/ppp/connect for chat.  PPPD will dial and and
the modem will connect; however, I get the ambiguous error "cannot setup
a connection".  I've tried +ua to get it to login PAP, and get the same
error.  I have modified that chat file (/etc/ppp/connect) and tried
every possible login combination, and have yet to succeed.  To make
matters worse, -d and debug don't seem to work -- the only output to
/var/log/messages is "cannot setup a connection".

Now, after three headache-ridden days of utter frustration, I am nearly
bald.  Does anyone have ANY ideas what could possibly be going wrong??

When v2.2R comes out which would be better.  A program written for Linux of 
SCO Openserver?  (Unfortunatly some of the packages I'm looking at only have 
these as choices for me.)

I'm going to be using v2.2R with XInside's excelerated X Server, Motif 2.0 and 
the CDE.

The system I'm going to run it on is a p133 with 128megs of ram and 3 gigs of 
HD space.  

Thanks

Have you looked at the ascii version of the handbook on your fbsd system?

	hint:  /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.ascii

Lots of good stuff in there.

Sounds like a routing problem, dns, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf

Can you send some copies of your files?  I* use kernel ppp, not user
level ppp.

Have you recompiled the kernel and left out ppp?

I, personally ;-), would give everyone five meg. Why?

1) Because some people go on vacation for a couple weeks and need the space
and I don't need to hassle of explaning why mail was bouncing for their
friends.

2) > one meg attachments can be fairly common.

3) Ever had someone blow their quota by accident and then tried to figure
out why popper wouldn't let them get their mail? Not pretty :-).

4) If you're using popper *most* people will be pulling their mail off the
server anyway.

5) Besides, hard-drive space is cheap.

6) See 5, you'll make for happy customers. :-)

This could be part of the problem.  I think this is the class b ip address
you can use *if* you are not on the net.  What is the address you get
from your isp?  Do you have a dedicated address?  You will have to set up
your machine to be that address for purposes of connecting to the net.

Someone else will have to help you if you get assigned an address every
time you connect.  I have a class c address here, and I do my own dns.
Is your domain name of huntel.com registered?  Does your isp do dns
primary for your site?  What is your host name?  What if I did a traceroute
to your host.huntel.com?  Would your isp have it set up there to point
to the ip they assigned you on a permanent basis?  :)

I will send you a copy of my hosts file, and some ppp stuff, as attachments
in another email.

Maybe we will hear from someone else who is doing a similar setup.

So do I, I just use aliases for ls, chdir, rmdir, rm, mv, etc....

It's not really that hard to do.  You just add 

pseudo-device   ppp     1

to your configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf .  You are probably
using GENERIC, so just edit it and add that line.  As root, do

/usr/sbin/config GENERIC

Then follow the instructions that pop up on the screen.  cd to the
compile dir, make it.

cd ../../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make
make install

and you are done!

Hello *,

I am trying to set up a 386 box being my leased line gateway, as
well as FAX and printer server.

The configuration is: 
- a 386 board with AMI Bios MK-III
- an IDE/floppy controller
- an ET4000 graphic adapter (TSENG LABS VGA BIOS MODEL: 8925 06/13/90)

The POST memory test shows: 7808 KB,  64 KB Cache

The BIOS reports after POST:

Processor:		80386
Numeric coprocessor:	present
Floppy A:		3 1/2"
Display:		EGA or VGA
Rom Bios Date:		10/15/90
Base Memory:		640 KB
Ext. Memory:		7168 KB

Booting the boot.flp shows:

Boot: kernel @ 0x27d000
[...]

In the visual kernel configuration , I disable everything but:
Storage: fdc0, wdc0
Input: sc0

avail memory = 5001216 (4884K Bytes)	   <- XXX looks strange to me
Probing..
sc0 at 0x60
sc0: VGA color
fdc0: NEC 765
fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
wdc0 at 0x1f0
wcd0: unit 0 (wd0): <Quantum P80A 980-80-94xx>
wd0: 80 MB (164050 sectors), 965 cyls, 10 heads, 17 s/t, 516 b/s
npx0 at 0xf0

Then the boot sequence hangs forever.

Any ideas, anybody? :))

TIA
	Armin

After approx. 250 sessions, my ftp server terminates temporarily with this
message: 

Feb 10 12:14:01 host inetd[99]: ftp/tcp server failing (looping), service
terminated

After this it refuses to accept any ftp connects for a few minutes. Why ? 
And how do I solve it ? 

I run freebsd-2.2-beta. The sessions are all from the same computer
downloading the same file from the server over and over again.

I have seen someone posting the instructions for upgrading to a new
version of FreeBSD w/o completly wiping out the old one. Could someone
repost this? (even though I would like to fix the boot manager one day..
have to boot from floppy..)

thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBsd on a 2nd drive (scsi). The installation
seems to be completed correctly, but soon after I boot the system I get a
"root not mount" message followed by a panic message that reboots the
machine within 10 seconds. This happened after all the devices were mounted.
I have tried reinstalling FreeBsd a number of times and I always end up with
the same results.  Am I doing something wrong?.  Please help.

I allocated a freebsd partition of 500mg and used the automatic configuration
setup. 

Thanks
Vince.

Greetings!

I have FreeBSD installled on my Gateway 2000 P133 machine.  I have a
cabletron 16bit ISA ethernet card which works under Win3.x.

How do I configure FreeBSD to use the card?  Do I go into the kernel
set-up and configure dev ed0 for the card?  If so, assuming the card's
IRQ is 12, what would be the steps I type to set the kernel?

I am assuming my ethernet card will work, but I am just a bit unclear as
to how to get FreeBSD to utilize it.  Any help you could give would be
great!

Cheers!

Bob Wright

I have noted a problem with 3 different machines (a 486/80, a 586/100, 
and a 586/133) and 3 versions of FreeBSD (2.1.0, 3.0-snap, and 2.1.6).  
Sometimes when switching from a virtual console into X, attempts to 
switch back to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-Fn) will result in just a beep 
from the console.  This seems most prevalent if an attempt is quickly 
made to switch back (ie, I didn't mean to switch into X, said "d'oh!" and 
hit ctrl-alt-F1).

   The problem has surfaced with both XFree86 and Accelerated X.  

   Has this happened to anyone else, and/or is there a fix?

Greetings,

I'm wondering if anyone knows who wrote sysinstall, or actually, how
it was written.  I've been trying to figure out how to do the colored
window routines.  It doesn't look like curses does it.  

Thanks

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Greetings,

I'm trying to build a few simple X programs but seem to have a bit of
difficulty with my include paths. I can't figure out how to set it 
correctly.  For example...

// -- foo.c ** Sample source file

#include <X11/Xos.h>
#include <x11/Xlib.h>

...

// -- end foo.c



% gcc -g  -c foo.c


On a 2.1.6 machine I have at work, the above would compile, but on my
3.0-current machine at home, I get.....


foo.c:12: X11/Xos.h: No such file or directory
foo.c:13: x11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
...
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Now if I do a...

% gcc -g -I/usr/X11R6/include -c foo.c 
 
it works. 

Is there an environment variable I can set to change this?... I feel
really stupid asking this, but it's driving me buggy.  Regrettably, I'm
used to VC++, and Borland's products for DOS / Windows.  They did all of
this stuff for me.

 Do you have a 387 coprocessor?  If not; that could be the cause
of your problem....   In the past; there have been problems in the
387 emulator.
 
 If you don't have one; I can recommend the Cyrix and INTEL versions,
stay away from anything else [that's assuming you can still find
somewhere to buy one.]

This started happening to me when I started using Xaccel in 3.0-current.
I switched from using /dev/mouse to /dev/ttyd0 and it seemed to stop
behaving that way.  At least it hasn't since I've done it (nearly a 
month and a half ago).

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Dear BSDers,

I recently installed FreeBSD as an X86 installation to a Western Digital
1.2GB WDAC31200 harddrive.  The drive is my "third" drive, and is the
second drive on the secondary EIDE controller of a very recent AWARD
BIOS controlled motherboard. (AWARD v 4.51, I think).

I installed BSD from the Walnut Creek 2.1.5 CD-ROM, and I got no errors
during installation.

When I finished and tried a reboot, BSD seemed to be doing fine down to
the last second, and then it "paniced" trying to manage something toward
the end of the boot sequence, saying it was unable to mount the root on
wd2a.  Well, wd2a is the first (only) slice on my third drive, all
right.

I then tried to run config on the next boot attempt.  No problem running
it.  I excluded all devices I don't have under the Storage heading and
tried to reboot.  Same thing.

Here's one catch, though.  During install I told BSD not to install any
MBR boot manager, since I use IBM's Boot Manager (that came with
PartitionMagic 3.0 by PowerQuest).

I have tried installing the BSD boot manager as well, thinking that it
might correctly put itself in the first track of wd2 as the MBR sector. 
Then I would expect IBM boot manager to pass the baton to BSD manager,
which would boot.  It does just that, it seems, but I still can't mount
the root.

Of course, I know no one can just tell me the problem.  But I thought
that you
might muster up some suggestions for me to try out.  I'm very willing to
experiment, but do have to keep a bootable Win95 machine up and going
out of the whole affair.

It is worth noting that I have successfully run this exact OS on this
machine, booting as the second slice of my first harddrive, using the
BSD boot manager.

P.S. I just went back to make sure I had the slice wd2a marked
bootable.  I do, or at least it said CA when I left.  I have yet to
completely build new file systems and reinstall all files since
switching to use of the BSD boot manager.

As it should.

I suspect that your 2.1.6 machine has a symlink from
/usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include/X11. However, this
isn't standard for X programs even if it happens to work on
that machine and you run into exactly the problem you're
seeing - it "magically" works on one machine and not
others configured in precisely the same manner. You
really do need the -I/usr/X11R6/include for it to work
on any machine with the X programmers toolkit installed.

That's often a problem in itself - detach the programmer more
from the environment and all you encourage is ignorance about
the underlying process. Ultimately it ends up wasting more
time than otherwise for anything that you're doing that is in
any way non-standard (as defined by those environments).

Use make. And with X11 programs in particular, you might want
to look at imake and xmkmf.

If you want an easy way to include X11's environment, then
(assuming {t}csh);

	setenv CFLAGS "-O -g -I/usr/X11R6/include"

then,

	make foo.o

Using a Makefile is usually a better approach since it saves
having to fiddle with the environment whenever you switch
projects.

If you know who is trying to break into you system and how, then why dont 
you just ring the police and have the little punk locked up. I believe 
they take a dim view of that sort of thing.

I've noticed this here on a 486/120 under 2.2-GAMMA (!) (970207 I think)
and the only "fix" i've found is to reboot :-(

Hi
I am attempting a make reinstall on a FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE system
from an NFS mounted from a FreeBSD 2.2-GAMMA system which was built with a 
make world.

2 initial problems make me wonder whether its necessary to do something else
prior to the make reinstall

1)	the make fell over when it struck the -C option
	install -C -o b.....
	so I rebuilt install

2)
===> include/rpcsvc
install -C -o bin -g bin -m 444  /mnt/src/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h ypclnt.h  /mnt/src/include/rpcsvc/bootpa/rpcsvc
/bootparam_prot.x klm_prot.x mount.x nfs_prot.x nlm_prot.x rex.x rnusers.x rquota.x rstat.x rwall.x sm_inter.x spr

sm_inter.h spray.h yppasswd.h yp.h  ypxfrd.h  /usr/include/rpcsvc
install: klm_prot.h: No such file or directory

klm_prot.h is not on /usr/src/include/rpcsvc

Any suggestions on how this should be done?

Is this card NE2000 compatible?  If not, I don't think we support it.

If you're using the GENERIC kernel or one you built the ed0 device
into, Just type '-c' at the Boot: prompt and configure ed0.  If not,
you'll need to build a kernel with the device ed0 ... line in it.  The
reference line is in GENERIC or LINT.  For this case, just change the
settings to match your card (the memio parameter doesn't apply to NE2000
compatible cards, just leave it at the default).

I personally think the Linux emulation is better, but it does depend on
the program and how intrusive on the system it is.

CDE works with FreeBSD?  Neat!  Now if it was free and not so darn big! :)

Can you get a bit more detailed output?  The error report may be on the
ALT-F2 debug screen.

This is trying to run XF86Setup, which you can run after the system is up
and running.  Or you can try the text variant xf86config, which does
essentially the same thing in a text question&answer format.

This is the proper way to do it.  The default is pretty conservative (I
think only /usr/include and perhaps some others).  It's not a bad idea to
throw it on anyway just in case you carry your makefile somewhere else.

The GCC manual (under info) would have details, but I don't recall it
having such an option (probably for your own safety).

This is fairly normal on combination IDE/SCSI systems.  Boot the boot
floppy and type

sd(0,a)/kernel

At the boot: prompt, assuming FreeBSD is on the disk identified as sd0.  

Once you get up, rebuild your kernel and change the 'kernel' line in the
configfile to match the location of the kernel.

The jump key is acutally ALT-Fn, but you need the Cntl key because the
alt-Fkeys are mapped under X.  I have the problem on my terminal that the
control key gets stuck down over a X->console switch; just whacking
control again clears it.

The device interface is on bpf(4).  I don't have a pfconfig(8) on my

According to newlfs(8), LFS isn't working at current.

If you're looking for theory type stuff, the mount_lfs(8) command has a
nice bibliography.  The freebsd-fs@freebsd.org mailing list may have some
opinions, as well as the mail archive.

Hope this helps.

   Check out the -R option to inetd. A better solution is to use the non-inetd
exec'd form of ftpd (see the -D option); be sure to comment out ftpd from
inetd.conf if you decide to use that option.

I am looking for some advice or documentation about the configuration
PPP server and Dynamic IP adress. I am running PPP server using pppd
with fixed IP adress and I want to run client with floating  IP adress.
I tried to configure bootpd, but it doesn't work properly.
If a configure client with fixed IP adress everything working properly.
Please if you have any experience please send me some advice.
Thanks.

Help! I have installed part of FreeBSD on my system, including the boot

My only gripe here is:  What's -questions material vs. -newbie material?
Having duplication here makes things sticky for us support folks (what to
promote?  What not?) and confuses things for the users (now, which list
does this belong to?  Let's try both!).  This may have to be worked out in
time.

I can see the volunteer quoting Nemeth and juicy bits from the Handbook
to keep things lively...

OK, fine.  I'll volunteer.  This means splitting time between -questions
and this, so if -newbies gets too busy -questions gets it.  (Oh, and I'm
_not_ suggesting we call the list -newbie.)

Run my own majordomo, so I'm familiar with the proceudre.  I'll have to go
rip off approve from it.

Well, we'll let the questions archives speak for that one and leave the
idea of an "interesting one" undefined.

I would amend this to submitting updates to the FAQ Maintainer.  This way

This could be fixed if it was a priority.

To get rid of the boot manager boot from a dos diskette and do 
fdisk/mbr

Then fix them :)

cp /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0

Yes, you can do this without blowing stuff up.  Only a few functions are
affected, and I have yet to find one that breaks because of this fix.

I'm not aware of any Network Look Manager in FreeBSD.  If you've enabled
NFS serving in /etc/sysconfig and have filesystems listed in /etc/exports,
it should work fine.

The AMD Ethernet/SCSI card's SCSI half is supported in 2.2-GAMMA, but not
the network half.

Are you enabling PCVT?  If so, the vector name is 'pcrint' and not
'pcrintr'.  

That's the only 'pcr' in LINT.

See below.  You need to move your PATH lines into .login or .profile.

Oh, ow.  You can't just download the directories to the local machine and
use UFS install?  We did this for 2.1.5 last time and intend to do it for
2.2 on our main server.

When it goes up, the directives in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup are executed to
establish routes and what not.  I don't think you can run an arbitrary
script though.

It means that the PEX and XIE programming extensions were not installed.
You can add these in by grabbing the XF32pex distribution.

You're using a floppy tape.  Floppy tapes larger than the QIC80 standard
don't usually work.

I'd suggest returning your Connor and getting the SCSI variant.  The 4GB
ones are very nice.

I think you want this...


FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist: 

1)  BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC.  IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!!

2)  Boot the new floppy.  Select the 'update' option.  Follow the prompts.
Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them.  Select the same
distributions you did originally and any you wish to add.

3)  Hit 'commit'.  Take note of the modified files.

4)  WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt:
	
	.  Copy services back from your backup /etc.  It's three lines
 	   long now :(
	
	.  Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as
	   a guide.  

	.  Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted 
           during the upgrade process.

5)  Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Try adding -L/usr/lib/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 to the compiler

There is an anti-Satan program roaming about that's hunting for bad people

FreeBSD only packages XFree86 releases with our releases.  You are of
course welcome to pull and run other XFree developments yourself -- they
do build FreeBSD binaries.  I ran the 3.1.2 beta Xservers so my Mach64
would work properly, with no problems.

I would not run them uless you were having a problem, though.

Subject: User PPP Routing yet again.
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Hi folks,

I'm trying to set up my FBSD box as a gateway from my local ethernet with
two hosts (the other is a Mac) to the Internet. I have checked the
handbook, the FAQ, the mailing list archives, and finally the tutorials on
www.freebsd.org (the latter not being very well advertised I might add...).

Anyway, according to Steve Sims' rather comprehensive Pedantic PPP Primer,
"If the PPP program is started normally then the program will not forward
packets between LAN interface(s) and the dial-out connection. In effect,
only the FreeBSD system is connected to the ISP; other workstations
cannot "share" the same connection."

Ah-HA! This explains the problems I have been experiencing. I have set up
user PPP and get to the point where my FreeBSD box dials, connects, and it
can see the rest of the net. At the same time, the Mac is seeing the
FreeBSD box and nothing else.

"OK then, I'll just find the secret command line option to turn on routing
to the rest of the world" thinks I, after reading the P-PPP-P. And this is
where I turn to you for help. The P-PPP-P refers to an -alias option, which
neither my software nor my manpages seems to have heard of. I am running
2.1.5-RELEASE.

[As an aside, I don't really want IP aliasing as my ISP has kindly assigned
two static IP addresses to me, but I think I'm barking up the right tree
now...]

So my questions are:

a) Am I barking up the right tree?
b) Do I need to get a later release of ppp and/or FreeBSD?
c) Should I switch to kernel mode ppp, and if so, does it do dial-on-demand?
d) Anyone care to guess how many aborted calls to my ISP I have been
through to get this far? :)

Yours awaiting enlightenment,

Hi,

  Are there any docs on how to do that?

Hello FreeBSD-questions,

I though I understood how MFS uses diskspace, but I was wrong. Please help
me out.

I have two swap partitions, one on /dev/sd0s2b and one on /dev/sd1s2b,
each about 50Mb. Since I wanted to use MFS (very large performance
increase!), I mounted the /dev/sd1s2b partition as an MFS disk on /tmp,
leaving /dev/sd0s2b as a normal swap partition. This works fine and fast.

Trouble starts when I put substantial amounts of stuff in /tmp. As far as
I can make out, mount_mfs process grows to 50Mb as /tmp fills up, eating
my swap space.

My question (finally) is: Why do I give mount_mfs the 50Mb /dev/sd1s2b
partition, if that disk space is not used to swap the information into?

How can I best combine the two swap partitions and an MFS disk? Is there a
way that I can explain to mount_mfs that it can use all available swap
space, and have both /dev/sd0s2b and /dev/sd1s2b as swap partitions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    Groetjes,
      Kees Jan

PS.  Please CC me, I'm not on the list.

PPS. I just can't get FreeBSD to crash, no matter how I try ;)

I've noticed something similar with XFree 3.1.2/3.2.0 on 2.1.{0/5/6}.
When I use xdm, if I try to switch to vty0 before xdm displays its login
window then I'll be locked into X just like you describe. I don't know
of any fix other than rebooting either.

Hi my name is Shaun Schwarten.

I have been having problems installing FreeBSD on my system and I can't 
find my answer in the FAQ list.

I followed the installation guide for floppy installation to the tee.

I made the dir BIN on my floppies and copyied the bin files onto them.

I made it all the way through the installation till it asked me to insert 
the floppy then all ended there with an error message saying it couldn't 
find the bin files, maybe because it wasn't on the media i chose.

This could not be so since the media I chose was floppy and the disk had 
the bin files on them.

Is there hope for me?

Please help...

Thanks Shaun Schwarten

I've got 2.1.6 up and running and have been trying to
install some packages.

>From what the responses I received from this mailing list,
I tried using pkg_add instead of sysinstall.

I ftp'd (binary mode) files from my ftp server (that I
copied the packages directory of the cd and also ftp'd
(yes in binary mode) updated one from ftp.freebsd.org
to install but I keep running into this problem.

The problem I'm running into is I get the following
message:

Unable to open table of contents file `+CONTENTS' - not a package?        

Any one have an idea what's happening and what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

It really depends on the city, state, country, etc...  Although in my
experience, the police don't generally think twice about at least 
scaring the crap out of the little punk, even if they don't take him to
jail...

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG

Linux can share swap with FreeBSD with a simple hack.
There are two things stopping you.  The first is that Linux doesn't by default
know about FreeBSDs slice/partition scheme - if you wan't that you'll
have to compile it in.

Next problem is that Linux looks for a swap header (to stop you accidentally
swapping onto a file system besides any other use). You have to defeat this
on each Linux boot by adding:

/sbin/mkswap devicename

in your /etc/rc....whatever.... before the swapon

The ext2fs works well on both OS's; however be aware that I don't think
2.1.6 FreeBSD knows about it, and you have to recompile a kernel to get it
into 2.2. Also the FreeBSD ext2fs code is missing 'cookie' code to enable
an ext2fs to be exported.

Actually my intent was to keep the newbie list for the new to Unix crowd, so I
guess that's where it would be different from questions@. I tried to address
some of this earlier, but my VMS account barfed.... I will try to remember what
I said in that attempted post.

Part of my intent was to divert some of he most simple questions away from
questions@. Wheteher you believe it or not, most of what happens on questions@
is pretty technical to us newbies. I figured that questions of the most simple
kind could be answered by fairly experienced users  and that the hard core folks
would actually have less to deal with. I certainly had no intention of creating
more work for those who already doing a lot...that means, among other, Doug
White, who always seems to take the time to answer almost every question
(thanks, Doug). What actually inspired my post was the whole ftp site
controversy. It just seems like the questions@ is such a great support forum
for users, that some topics just don't fit. This includes some general Unixy
type questions that new users are invariably going to ask, as well as questions
about the site etc. I was thinking that it could also serve as kind of a first
stop for people new to FreeBSD or people just passing through. I just thought
the whole FTP argument was totally inappropriate for questions@, which seems to
serve mainly as technical support.

Besides serving as a buffer to questions@, I figured that the new list would
would serve as kind of promotional zone for the new-to-Unix-but-wanna-try-it- 
but-can't-decide-whether-to-try-Linux-or-FreeBSD crowd. My thinking was that
some people may feel threatened by questions@, not because of the people (who
are VERY nice), but because when they see so many questions that are over their
head, they feel stupid asking simple questions. 

I was just throwing out this idea. I honestly did not expect all of this to
come to pass without some rigourous debate. I REALLY do not want to be
remembered as the guy who created more work for everyone else, so if anyone has
doubts as to whether this is a good idea, don't do it. I  am very willing to
live with questions@. It hasn't failed me yet. I've only been on questions@ on
and off (mostly on) for about a year, so I really don't know if there's enough
reason to start a new list....that's up to you. I guess this means that if it's
going to be a lot of extra work, questions@ is just fine the way it is, and the
whole thing about encouraging new users is invalid, then the  idea may not be 
so good.

Peace,
Dave

I assume you are refering to the "bliss" virus.  Alan Cox, who is a major
Linux developer analysed the program and posted to the linux kernel
development mailing list on this subject.  The short of it is that all 
unix type operating systems can be attacked this way, but it will only 
spread if you have write permissions on your executable binaries, which 
generally means you run as root.  Most experienced unix users do not run 
suspect binaries as root, and so are not vulnerable.  I've included both 
Alan's posting, and a posting I presume is from the author.  The author 
posted a copy of the virus too, but I didn't bother looking at it so I 
don't know if it was in source or binary form.

Here is the text of Alan's message:

1.      Bliss is a real program

2.      Its really a trojan rather than a virus, but has a few simple worm
        like properties.

It works like this

        When it runs it attempts to replace some system binaries with itself
        and move the system binaries into /tmp/.bliss. Having done this
        it runs /tmp/.bliss/programname

        In order for it to succeed it means someone has pulled binary only
        code from a third party and run it at some point as root or a
        suitably priviledged user. People should NEVER be doing that anyway

        The technique used is totally portable, it will work under any OS,
        regardless of security because it does not circumvent the security
        of the system, it relies on people with priviledge to do something 
        dumb 

        The second attack it makes which is fairly crude is to try and rsh      
        to other machines and stage attacks on those. Thus given a set of
        machines which totally trust each other it can spread.

Bliss is (fortunately) a mere toy and a demonstration of these techniques.
With any OS you must be careful what you install. With a protected mode
OS like Linux a user cannot do untold damage to others but root can. The
recent demonstrations of things like an activeX object that looks for
credit details in windows95 money and access databases is hopefully a 
reminder to all


o       Use a distribution that lets you verify packages are ok and
        preferably uses digital signatures

o       Install using sources from reputable sites. Check digital 
        signatures on what you are installing

Whatever the OS, whatever the security.....

A few months back, a very alpha version of bliss got posted. That shouldn't
have happened, but, it was pretty much ignored so I didn't worry about it.
But now it seems there's a bit of a fuss about this. I'll post the current
version, which I havn't really worked on in months.

The original binary is now properly run. I had forgotten to check the path.

This is a VIRUS. DO NOT RUN IT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. DO
NOT ASSUME YOU ARE SAFE JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT RUNNING AS ROOT.

I have not tested this running free on a system. I tested it infecting a
single directory, and I tested it pretending that it was infecting the
whole filesystem. But I did not run these tests on the current version.  In
fact, I have run very few tests on the current version - there have been
enough changes since the last tests I ran and last good look at the code I
gave that I can not consider this anything more than an alpha version. I
felt it important to release a believed-to-be working version though, since
many people seem concerned about this program.

Let me reiterate. THIS IS A VIRUS. IF YOU RUN THIS PROGRAM, YOU STAND A
GOOD CHANCE OF FUCKING YOUR SYSTEM UP PRETTY BAD.

This virus does some trivial worm things. Be careful. Oh, they are only
slightly tested, and nowhere near complete (if you saw my todo list, it
would give you nightmares).

I have compiled this with debugging verbosity on.

There are certain command-line arguments that do certain things.

Bliss does nothing intentionally destructive. Bliss may well do
accidentally destructive things. I have tried to be careful about errors
and unlikely conditions causing problems, but this is a virus. And one that
undergone some changes since it was last given any real testing.

Bliss is not expected to survive in the wild. I have written this as proof
that a unix virus is possible, and because it is a fun program.

I just replaced my Linux box with a FreeBSD 2.1.6 release I purchased
from Walnut Creek CD-ROM.  I am having much trouble in getting the
system to run correctly.

My primary concern is the XFree86 software.  I installed it completely,
and configured it, and when I run startx, the server runs (somewhat.)
However, upon exit, there are two lines on the screen that read:

	PEX extension module not loaded
	XIE extension module not loaded

And except in the twm manager, the menus do not work (and no, my Numlock
is not on.)  I've tried both the fvwm and olwm (OpenLook/XView)
managers.

Please help me with this problem.

Thank you,

Is there support in FreeBSD for the Blaster CD-R? I's attached to an
adaptec 152X Scsi controller.

Also is there software to write cd(s)? Do i have to rely on the mkisofs?
Thanks

These you don't have to worry about, If you want then install the X-server
link kit and complile them in

As ship you must install other managers if you want to run them and write
copy steal menus to suite you..(use your old linux one if you liked it)

for fvwm, the file is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm/.fvwmrc
you can also copy system.fvwmrc from the same dir to .fvwmrc
or you can have a file with the same name in your home dir.

For your Kboard, did  you run xf86config or X86Setup to configure X-Windows
if you run the old xf86config you don't have to use the NEW IMPROVED kboard
support. Which doesn't work for everyone.

actually a year or so ago there was a similar suggestion made on one
of the mail lists. I can't remember any more which one. The basic idea
was to have a list of volunteers who would automatically get questions
sent to them in their area of expertise. A call for volunteers went out
and several people actually did volunteer. THen the whole thing quietly
died.

the questions list seems to be it.

	Something goes wrong in the FreeBSD handbook (2.1.5 R), there is no
	MultiCast section.

--- "handbook.ascii" line 16585 of 25212 --65%-- ---
  The final line (destination subnet 224) deals with MultiCasting, which
  will be covered in a another section.

	This Final line refer to the example given in the begining of the

	Does someone plan to correct this ?

I'm going to build a freebsd 2.2-server with two network-cards.

I have the following cards to choose from:
3Com Etherlink III 3c509B-TPO EISA
3Com Etherlink XL 3c900-TPO PnP PCI

I would like to use two PCI-cards if possible.

I read in the handbook that the drivers for 3c509 are (was?) buggy
and I can find nothing about 3c900.

If possible, how would I make this configuration available in the kernel?
There are ed0 and ed1 in GENERIC, but I don't see anything similar for 3Com,
just xx0. If someone has a configuration for two of the cards above, I
would be very happy to see the relevant configurationlines.

Thanks for your time!

Ok, I will take a look at that.  I can get a Linux version of ApplixWare but 
ZMail I have to get in SCO.

XInside has it for $199 for FreeBSD (not cheap, or @274.00 bundled with the X 
server, still not cheap) and unfortunately it comes with Motif v1.3, so I'm 
going to have to do a (what they call) 'funky install' to get it in and the 
reinstall Motif v2.0.

Sorry if this is stupid...

I just installed a package which needs -lgdbm. I can't seem to find it in my
distribution, or on the FreeBSD site.

How should I proceed?

With thanks,

Robin.

Hello,
	I'm a little bit flaburgasted.  After installing the freebsd system I'm
having trouble running the games programs.  I have been able to open the
vi editor to edit the file "group" and place my ID in the bin and wheel
groups.  The shell I'm using is BASH.  I have located many games in
several different directories.  However after changing the directory to
the game directory and entering the name of the game nothing happens. 
It just boggles me! Do you have a clue on how to start one or any of the
game programs?
						Thanks,
							Jeff

Howdy,

OK, so except for Herr Martin nobody knows (or does not wish to answer) a
question regarding floppy tape backup. 

Let's rephrase it then:

Does 2.1.7, 2.2 or 3.0 address the floppy tape backup problem any better
than 2.1.5???  As in - can anything other than the ancient QIC 40/80
format be used for backup using 'ft' or 'lft'??

I am looking for a good Unix system administration book that also includes
references to FreeBSD specific topics.  Is there such a thing?  I am
comfortable with the basics most of the time, and can make my way around
some of the more advanced areas (I can compile a customised kernel, change
some sendmail rules, etc), so I don't want to get a beginner's guide,
eventhough there's a lot of basic stuff I don't know (just stumbled on the
'which' command the other day!).  I looked into a couple of books:

- Essential System Administration 2nd Ed. (Aleen Frisch), published by
  O'Reilly - no mention of FreeBSD at all (Linux is acknowledged)

- Unix System Administration Handbook 2nd Ed. (Nemeth, etc) - it is in
  back order at the local bookstore, but I have the first editon (1989)
  and FreeBSD wasn't around then (or was it?) 

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Antonio

If it's Plasmon or HP based you have a chance.

Both of these are supported, but I would recommend against the XL.  It has
very little onboard buffer space, which causes errors galore on my P133
workstation.  The Digital-based cards (listed in the Handbook) are very
nice, cheap, and don't have this problem.

If you still want the XL it's supported on 2.2 and later.

It's the vx0 driver,  so just 'device vx0' is sufficient.

Thanks. I couldn't find pfconfig on mine either. (2.1.5) How, then, do I
configure /dev/bpf0 for use with tcpdump? tcpdump complains about 'device
not configured /dev/bpf0'? Or does tcpdump automatically make the bpf(4)
calls if the interface supports promiscuous mode?

I wish the log file system was working -- but you've confirmed what I
suspected. There was one paragraph in the 4.4BSD SMM that implied
everything worked, but all the utilities weren't written. Are there any
plans for implementing LFS?

This is common.  You'll have to use a boot floppy and type
'wd(2,a)/kernel' to get it started, then rebuild your kernel and tell it
root is on wd1.  I would suggest moving this disk to the slave position to
the primary controller; it will save you many, many headaches.

There was another suggestion to remove the wd1 entry under the wdc0 entry,
then change wd2 to wd1.  See the mail archives for details.

That should boot it no problem.

Hey There!

I have recently recieved new SMC 10/100 cards that contain the DEC 21140-AC
chips instead of the DEC 21140-AB chips.  They are reconized by FreeBSD but
do NOT correctly configure, and therefore do not transport any data.

I am currently running 2.1.5 but I have tried the 2.2 boot-flp and the
driver on there does not work either.

Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes for this.  I am running short on
AB chips and need to use the cards.

Thanx

Please try Applixware and get back to us if it works.  There is a
discussion in this list going on about ZMail and a FreeBSD port.  If you
let netManage (?) know that you'd be interested in a FreeBSD version, they
may be convinced to develop one.

You need to install the GNU database manager.  It's in
ports/databases/gdbm.

How do you delete them?

I have 10.1.0.50 assigned to ed0, everytime in the past I typed magic

FreeBSD is free and BSDi costs money.  Other than that, they're pretty
close.

You forgot bin.inf.  Put it on the first disk in bin/ and you should
be happy.

If the game is not in your default search path, after you change to the
directory the game is in, try it like this:

./progname

The ./ tells the system to look in the current directory.  Replace progname
with the name of the program you are trying to run.

If you are in the same directory as the game is in, type ./game-name

	We are taking legal action of course.  In the US the agency responsible is 
the FBI since denial of service attacks are a federal crime.  My thanks to all those 
who replied both privately and on the list.  I received many helpful suggestions, 
and will be following up on them this week.

I have mentioned to NetManage, and right now they are not interested in 
developing a FreeBSD or Linux variant (But I think someone else in the core 
talked to someone at a deeper level that I and got a better response.)

I will give my feedback on Applixware, I'm also going to poke them for a 
FreeBSD version.  But I will not have any info on that until a couple of weeks 
after I get FBSD v2.2R on CD so I can put it on the computer at home.  The 
systems here are work are still 2.1.0 and 2.1.5.

	I need information on the relationship between the amount of RAM 
in a machine and the total number of file descriptors available, and whether 
and how this is related to the maxusers option in the kernel config.  I 
understand from "The Complete FreeBSD" that maxusers relates to the 
total number of processes, but I'm a little fuzzy on the topic of file 
descriptors.  I did a search from the www page on *descriptor* and got 
nothing.  A search on descriptor* got me 
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook287.html which didn't have the 
info I needed.   A search of the mail archives didn't get me anything that 
applied to my situation.  

	As always, I'm willing to do the research myself if someone can point 
me in the right direction, and thanks for any help you can provide.

yesterday I installed StarOffice 3.1 beta3 for Linux on my FreeBSD box
and it works well. It need no Motif!

But the setup dump core, so I installed it by hand.

You either have to type the 'full' path of the program you wish to run,
or change to the directory in which it is located and type...

 ./<program name>

Example: 

If I wish to run the game hack, I could either type..

/usr/games/hack

or

cd /usr/games

and then

./hack

Hmm . . . run "tar -tvzf pkg_name" on the downloaded packages just to 
make *extra* sure they're not corrupted.

MFS using diskspace is an oxymoron.  MFS = memory filesystem.

That's what's supposed to happen.

Are you trying to mount this memory space as SWAP or /tmp?  You have it
mounted as /tmp, using the traditional swap partition (b).  You can't have
both.

Save the swap for disks.  Making MFS swap is doing memory->memory
transfers and isn't helping you at all, in fact it's hurting you.  Use the
MFS for /tmp space if you're finding your system pounds on it a bunch.
Naturally, if you put a limit on the MFS that's greater than physical
memory, it'll swap, and your system will come to a screeching halt.  I'm
not that experienced with MFSs (I don't use them), but I'd think you'd
want it's max size < max available memory.

You need to add

pseudo-device bpfilter 4

to your kernel config & recompile.  If you need more than 4 filters you
can increase the number.

The book "The Complete FreeBSD" is a addendum to these books that details
FreeBSD-specific items.  The Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org is an
essential reference as well.

FreeBSD is mentioned once.  It does target BSDi which is pretty close
though.

The Linux version.  I haven't used it a lot, but for what I've worked with
it it seems to work OK.

The result is not defined.  I would say "Your mileage may vary."

To be honest, these tapes are cheap.  Go SCSI and save yourself the pain.

However, from what I've seen first-hand and what I've heard/read,
StarOffice (Linux) is an all-around better product.  I've got 3.1b2
installed which was pretty stable, and I've heard from Linux folk that
3.1b3 is much more so.  You might check Star Office out as well.

Upgrade and you will receive the -alias option. Or fetch the patches from
the IP Aliasing page, which is at .....
http://www.cypher.net/~black/ipalias.html   ?

I don't think that's the right URL, we used Mr. Mott's patches.

You do, actually; it's a heck of a lot easier to work esp. over an
ethernet.

That is one solution; the other is to patch ppp yourself.

I don't think so.

Just do an install, but select 'upgrade' instead.

FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist: 

1)  BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC.  IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!!

2)  Boot the new floppy.  Select the 'update' option.  Follow the prompts.
Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them.  Select the same
distributions you did originally and any you wish to add.

3)  Hit 'commit'.  Take note of the modified files.

4)  WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt:
	
	.  Copy services back from your backup /etc.  It's three lines
 	   long now :(
	
	.  Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as
	   a guide.  

	.  Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted 
           during the upgrade process.

5)  Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

bpf needs to be configured into your kernel, thusly

pseudo-device   bpfilter        4

Build a new kernel, install and reboot.  The /dev/bpf? devices
should already exist

Interesting!  I've seen prior betas on Linux.  While the word processor is
only average, the package includes a fancy spreadsheet, as well as business
charting and presentation preparation modules.  (Regretably, it's all single
threaded).  Suggest we add a /port as soon as practicable.

Thanks for the response Doug,

Going on what you said about going scsi - I recently saw an ad for a new
portable tape drive called the eagle TR-4 ($399.00)  from Exabyte. The ad
only mentions that TR-3 ($219.00) comes with a controller card but doesn't
mention whether it's scsi or not. The only other scsi tape backups I've
seen are in the $700 to $1000 dollar range which hurts alot more that
trying to get a QIC 40/80 to work.

Do you know anything about the TR-3 or 4?? I've seen Exabyte mentioned
before on this list (favorably).

Also remember to use the MAKEDEV script in /dev to make the actual
/dev/bpfx devices if you haven't already done that (I missed the first
posting).

I'm not sure how you'ld do that. uucp expects to talk to a uucico on the
other end, whether uucico directly or initiated by uucpd. If the dialin
uucp doesn't get a "Shere=<uuname>" it will die. 

If you can have your user go through a two part login, e.g., login to the
router and then login to the uucp machine, it would probably work. uucp
itself supports that kind of chat script. In other words, your users chat 
script would look something like this:

(At the router:)
	login:		<first username>
	password:	<first password>
			<command to get to uucp box>
(At the uucp box:)
	login:		<uucp username>
	password:	<uucp password>

The users uucico must get the acknowledgement from the sending (yours)
uucico or the negotiation will fail.

Let me know if you figure out how to make this happen.

Good luck.

Going one way is easy, going back is about impossible.  I think Partition
Magic (a commercial app) can do it, otherwise back up your DOS partition,
delete & recreate & restore.

I specified my MANPATH environment variable in my ".profile" file (using

all is well; but if I set up an xman launch as a button or menu item in
my window manager, I do not get my x program manual entries. Also, if I
start xman from ".xinitrc" or ".xsession", I do not get the x program
manual entries. How can I get the MANPATH environment variable to be
read properly? Thanks in advance.

We have a Connor 4GB SCSI tape drive that works great.  We use it to dump
the workstation it's on (attached to a Adaptec 2940) and remote-dump our
main server.

These are trantor tapes, the successor to QIC.  They should be available
in both interface types.

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me the status of NAT with FreeBSD ?

I realize that there is NAT for PPP now, but what about other type
of interface ? Is NAT meant to be interface device independent or
dependent ? I bought an ET 64K sync card but the driver doesn't have
NAT and I am hoping to see FreeBSD may have kernel NAT support in
future or now ? 8-)))

Thanks in advance.

Subject: UltraSPARC and MicroSPARC vs Pentium Pro ?
Content-Type: text/plain
Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
 

Hi there,

I am making recommendation for using FreeBSD or BSDI as a WWW server
for a hospital WWW server and I have the following on the prefered
list:

Sun Netra i/170L (UltraSPARC 167MHz) as WWW, SMTP, caching proxy server.
Sun Netra i5 (MicroSPARC 110Mhz) as firewall.

On the other hand, I am keen on recommending FreeBSD or BSDI with
the following hardware:

Intel Pentium Pro 200 for WWW, SMTP, caching proxy server and
Intel Pentium 166 for firewall.

However, I need more real-world benchmark for the following CPUs:

UltraSPARC 167MHz vs PPro 200Mhz, and
MicroSPARC 110Mhz vs Pentium 166Mhz.

Without some hard figures showing comparison, my recommendation will
not be too convincing. Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advance.


Regards,

M.C Wong

Thanks to all for answering my last brain dead question. That was the only
item I didn't check since I was fully convinced I had built the kernel
with that in.

Goes to show you that what you _actually_ do is more important than what
you think you do. Thanks.

I'll second the motion!  I'm running a low end 4mm DAT 2G drive.  Faster,
quieter, fewer errors, cheaper media, higher capacity media, etc,etc.

Howdy fellow BSD heads,

	I have a CD ROM device that is not supported.  So I'm trying
to install from a DOS file system.  I have a 1.6G disk and a 2.1G disk.
I have two partitions on the 1.6.  I am planning to install FreeBSD on
800M of the 2.1G disk. 

	So I did an xcopy from the distribution CD dists dir onto my
second partition of the 1.6G disk.  I am going through the Novice
install.  Everything works fine until I get to the installation media.
I have tried using wd0s1 from the media choice window.  I have tried
d:\freebsd\ and d:\freebsd when choosing the DOS installation.  All
attempts have failed.  

	I get a failure mounting the /dev/wd0s1 from /dos.  I think the
error code is 22.  Help!!

	I would really like to get BSD installed.  I want to have a 
complete development environment here at home.  And all I lack for the
main stream OS is a UNIX OS.

	Please respond to me at pdmcd@magicnet.net



	Thanks.

Then it almost certainly won't be detected by the 2.1.7 boot floppy.  
2.1.7 is a bug-fix release, nothing more.  You're far better off trying 
it with 2.2, which has better support for ATAPI CD-ROMs.

Have you tried the standard tricks?  That is:

1) make sure your CD-ROM is supported (obvious, I know, I'm just 
   including it for completeness)
2) try configuring it as a slave on the primary IDE channel
3) try configuring it as a master on the secondary IDE channel

It's a mystery, as far as I know, but 2) and 3) tend to work.  Best of luck.

A little poking around in /usr/src/sys/conf/param.c shows us:

  #define NPROC (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS)
  int     maxproc = NPROC;                /* maximum # of processes */
  int     maxprocperuid = NPROC-1;        /* maximum # of processes per user */
  int     maxfiles = NPROC*2;             /* system wide open files limit */
  int     maxfilesperproc = NPROC*2;      /* per-process open files limit */

I believe maxfiles is the figure you're looking for.

The GNU Fortran-77 compiler, g77, should configure and run on FreeBSD.
It should work with up-to-date versions of the gdb debugger as well.
The g77 distribution is essentially an add-on to gcc; you first extract
and configure gcc, then extract and add g77, then build the g77
compiler.  It's really not all that difficult.  Look on your favorite
gnu mirror; I usually go to ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/gnu these days.

Hi there ...

Thanks for the reply and help.  Another question, though -> Does this
mean that the XF32pex distribution will help with the XIE module too, 
and can you please point me to a FAQ that explains this XIE/PEX, or
can it be found in the distribution ?

Thanks for the help and your time.

use f77 (the compiler driver).  

file: f.f

       program main
       write(*,*) 'hello world'
       end                                

f77 -o f f.f

f77 -c f.f   produces  f.o

f77 -o f f.o a.o b.o

builds the executable out of several .o files.

Learn to use make.


For more information of the f77 compiler switches study the f2c man page.

I just installed FreeBSD on a machine and I can't seem to get X running.
I've got 3.2 of X11R6 and FreeBSD Gamma 2.2 which I installed via FTP
server. The machine is a homemade 486DX2/66 with a WD Caviar 534mb Drive
on a DTC 2278-E controller. It has only 8mb of RAM (which I will upgrade
if and when I can get X running) and a serial mouse on /dev/cuaa0 as well
as a Linksys Ether 16 LAN card. There is a soundblaster 16 with a Creative
Labs CD drive attached. The motherboard has an AMI WinBIOS that has setup
parameters for the hard drive (Including 32-bit disk access, block, and
LBA mode with enable/disable for all three)  but has no integral IDE (or
floppy) ports of it's own... hence the DTC card. 

When I try to run XF86Setup I get:

wd0s1f: hard error reading fsbn 285803 of 285776-285839 (wd0s1 bn 519275;

I included two instances as I noted redundancy in the errors and
thought this might help.

xf86config gives me much less verbocity (word?) when biting the big one:

I don't know about Exabyte, but Colorado T3000 (Travan-3) are not SCSI.
Colorado T4000 (Travan-4) are SCSI and cost here about $400 internal
and $450 external, without controller. The cassete (8GB with compression)
for T4000 is $40. Have anyone used Colorado tape drives with FreeBSD?

Where can I find information on the new features in 2.2 (from 2.1.6/7). I'm
not concerned with gritty-bitty technical details, but I'd like some
overview of major features.

Thank you.

Subject: cvsup over ppp
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


I'm experiencing problems using cvsup RELENG_2_1_0 from a 2.1.5
system over a ppp link.

cvsup successfully connects to cvsup5.freebsd.org and begins working,
but after only 30s or so, all indications of work on the client side
stop. On several occasions, after about 4:30 or so, cvsup reports that
it lost the network connection.

Concurrent with cvsup's problems, I notice that I can't get anything
else through the ppp link until I reconnect to my ISP: even ping
doesn't receive a response from cvsup5.freebsd.org or other hosts that
I've tried. I haven't had troubles like this with my ppp link before,
so I'm a bit baffled.

Config:

FreeBSD 2.1.5 from CD (i.e. no patches or other mods applied)
user-level ppp
cvsup-bin-14.1.1 with /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile


Any help is appreciated.

Hello questions,

Sorry to bug you again, but I'm still not clear on MFS. Why do I specify a
block device for mount_mfs, if mount_mfs ignores that device? Why can't I
just say:

  mount -t mfs 50Mb /tmp

    Groetjes,
      Kees Jan

Actually, speaking of crashing, I stumbled across a bad fork-bomb by 
accident tonight:

narcissus% cat /usr/local/bin/foo
#!/bin/sh
foo
narcissus%

This slowed my system to a crawl, filled up swap, and caused several
processes to die.  The dead processes made X unhappy enough to lock up my
machine.  Can anything be done (kernel config settings, etc.) to prevent
stuff like this from happening?

   Once, in an effort to try to crash my machine (while I was having page 
fault problems; I wanted another trace), I ran this script:

#!/bin/bash
spork &
spork &
spork

   I managed to get my system load up to 21.19 and fill up my process 
table, but the machine never crashed.  I had to reboot because I couldn't 
fork a kill process.

There is two ways to do Network Address Translation. The first you mentioned
is built into the user PPP code (http://www.srv.net/~cmott/alias.html).

The second is built into the IP Filter code (http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/)
With this second way you can use any IP interface for the translation.
The IP Filter NAT method requires some additional proxies (such as a
ftp proxy).

I bought my Connor TapeStore 4000 (SCSI internal) serveral years ago
for $350.00.  It uses QIC-3040w tapes.  I haven't had any problems
with it.

Before I had this tape drive, I was using a QIC 80 floppy tape.  What
a pain....... Switch to the SCSI tape if you can.

Somewhere on www.freebsd.org is information about different tape
devices people are using.  I think you can find it in the supported
hardware doc.

Well, this means, that you have such a shell, that has a ``second''
initialisation file.  (Eg: csh has .cshrc, sh/ksh has the file named in the
ENV variable, bash has Idontknowthename, etc.)  In that file, you have an
stty command.  You have to ``ifdef'' the stty command, like this:
sh/ksh/bash:
if "$-" in
	*i*)	# it is an interactive shell
	stty ...
	any command, which hasn't any meaning in non-interactive shells
	;;
	*)	# it is a non-interactive shell
	any command, which has any meaning in non-interactive shells
	;;
esac

csh/tcsh:
if ( $?prompt ) then
	# interactive shell
	stty ...
	any command, which hasn't any meaning in non-interactive shells
else
	# non interactive shell
	any command, which has any meaning in non-interactive shells
endif

That's it.

When I worked at a University, we had a student do something similar
to this on a VMSCluster.  Here is what was in his command file:

$ spawn/nowait foo
$ submit foo
$ @foo
$ exit

Needless to say we had to reboot the cluster to kill off everything.

Side affects were the same as you mentioned.

We fixed it by disabling the student's account. But this wasn't the
way to keep it from happening again. :)

Thanks to all who sent me information on the
problem I was having with pkg_add.

It seems the I didn't know the difference between
a package and a port.

Thanks to the people on this mailing list I'm begining
to get a handle on who things work in the FreeBSD
enviornment.

Thanks again!

I have just installed the samba port as I need
a compatable file system access scheme.

Could someone please include a sample smb.conf
file in their e-mail to me?

The documentation is a little confusing as to
what needs to be included in this file that I
need.  i.e.  I just want a specified file system to be
available to be mounted.

Thanks for your help!

During a make world on a 2.1.6 machine (on it's way to being 2.1.7, that's
what the make world was for) I came across these messages in the log:

Feb 11 20:09:31 www /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:94032
asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error
Feb 11 20:09:34 www /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:94032
asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error
Feb 11 20:09:34 www /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:94032
asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error

Going through all of the archived logs, this is the only other error I
came up with, and it's a seperate drive:

/var/log/messages.0:Feb  5 20:25:07 www /kernel: sd1(bt0:1:0): RECOVERED
ERROR info:192040 asc:2,0 No seek complete

There were a few hundred instances of the error on sd0, all during the
make world.  None before or after.  I understand that such a huge compile
is a nice way to stress-test the system, but I'm curious whether it's
actually something to worry about.  This machine does about 2G/transfer a
day and has been totally trouble-free (it's a dedicated web server for a
client, sort of a colocation with us taking care of the SA stuff).

Any info is appreciated, following is some relevant stuff from dmesg...

How do I move around a slice (I wanted to change the configuration of my
disk).

I have a free primary partition, in linux I did a:
	cat /dev/hda3 >/dev/hda4

and a copy was there...

Then in system commander I booted /dev/hda4 (no problem) but it mounted
the stuff in /dev/hda3...

So I changed the partition type of /dev/hda3 and booted /dev/hda4 -- and it
paniced (cannot find root file system).

The size of the partitions and where they are encoded in the slice partition 
table (not sure what its called).   I don't want to restart the
install procedure...

Also, how do I control booting if I have two slices on a single disk
(is this possible?  It should be).

Maybe I'm not running exactly the version of ports or packages
so YMMV. (there have been keywords added from one version to another
and syntax may have changed slightly.

It won't help -- they have the same driver on them.

Try moving your CDROM to the slave position on the primary controller.

A friend has a problem replying to my email -- he's the only
one who has mentioned this to me, but perhaps others have
the same problem.  I've looked at the man pages for mail(1),
sendmail(8) and mailaddr(7), but this topic did not seem to
be addressed.

I have a dial-up PPP account with dynamic address assignment.
My ISP is ``synet.net''.  I've got:

  # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
  DMsynet.net

in sendmail.cf, so (I thought) that my outgoing email would identify
the origin of the email as ``imdave@synet.net''.  Indeed, when I send
mail to my account at my ISP (imdave@syenet.net) and then retrieve it,
the headers look like:

  From fetchmail Tue Feb 11 10:59:39 1997

  To: imdave@synet.net
  Subject: test header

The ``From:'' line uses the masquerade, but the ``Received: from''
line does not.  There is no ``Reply-to:'' line.  My friends mailer
seems to be constructing a return address from the ``Received: from''
lines, and the result is ``imdave@base486.synet.net'' which of course
fails.  In summary:

1. Are my email headers being constructed properly, and if not,
   how do I fix it?  If I need to add a ``Reply-to:'' line, how
   do I make /usr/bin/mail do it?  I didn't see an option for
   sendmail that addressed this.
2. I don't know what mailer my friend uses; could his mailer be
   doing the wrong thing?
3. Is there any standard that dictates how a return address
   should be extracted from the email headers?

Sounds good.  Will you be doing much cgi?  How many hits a day will you
be getting for cgi and pages?

I don't care about your benchmarks that much.  How mission critical is
the application?  I have set up Sun Enterprise and SparcStations to use
as web servers and the like.  A lot will depend on the usage of the www
server.  If it is imperative that the server be available *all* of the
time, I would go with the Sun equipment.  This has nothing to do with
processor speed, or the differences between Solaris and FreeBSD.  Intel
equipment varies by manufacturer to manufacturer.  The Sun stuff that I
have worked with just keeps on going.  

However, if the server is not that mission critical, and you are not
hitting it with huge amounts of cgi, then go with the Intel stuff.  Just
take some time to pick some good equipment.  Talk to this guy about
buying the right parts:

"Rodney W. Grimes" <rgrimes@GndRsh.aac.dev.com>

If you are going to put a real load on the server, then think about the
multiprocessor support from Sun.  However, you are now getting up to a
cost of over $20,000 most likely.

I'm not going to forward the full message, as it's from FlashNet, and
makes the claim that "your local telephone company has filed a proposal
with the FCC to impose per minute charges for your internet service".

I've looked a little at the comments submitted by SWBell's attorneys, and
a fair amount of it appears to be crying about current regulation and lack
of recovery cost mechanisms when technology outpaces them.  If their aim
is to subsidize this through per-minute charges, I think that's a bad
thing indeed.  

Whether this turns out to be true remains to be seen, but the pertinent 
information follows:

Official statement: http://www.fcc.gov/isp.html

There are 3 zip files available for the curious from the URL that are
mostly collections of comments in various word-processing formats, and
almost universally telco-authored.  I wonder where the general public 
comments are...

Email comments to:	isp@fcc.gov

Include "CC Docket No 96-263" as the subject with name and mailing
address, otherwise the claim is that comments directed to this email will
be discarded; sounds a bit suspicious, but the original comment date was
Jan 27, with reply comment date of Feb 13. 

Unfortunately I only got this message the day before (12th).

Apologies to the out-of-band readers, but this seems to be the sort of
thing that our government and utility companies like to pull these days. 
I hope it's not a trend.

cheers,
larry

We have this problem occaisionally with ijppp.  Try setting up pppd
(kernel ppp) and see if this solves the problem.  

ijppp has this annoying habit of spontaneously closing down when it gets
hit with big file transfers.

What type of CDROM is it?  ATAPI/IDE disks are supported, but FreeBSD is
picky about where it wants them.

Use c:\freebsd instead.  It must be on a DOS primary partition.

        i dont have a www server benchmark numbers available,
        but i do have results for an excellent cpu/cache/memory
        benchmark called "Hint".

quick dirty answer:
        Integer: the intel boxes kill the snot out of *all* suns
        Float:   the ultras outperform intel boxes.

long answer:
        the sparc architecture is limited in its ability to perform
        integer operations.  my suspicion is that the memory bandwidth
        is not up to the task. (surely, its not the cpu itself, but
        rather feeding data and instructions to the cpu that is the
        limiting factor.)

        some performance ratio: (re 586-90)
 
        integer:
                cpu             data set size
                                10kB - 1MB  
 
                ross 125:        65% - 90% of a 586-90 (yes less)
                ultra 167:       55% - 80%
                sparc 20:        40% - 60%

                ppro 200:       350% - 400%
                ppro 150:       250% - 300%

        get the Hint benchmark and hammer some systems.
        read the paper to appreciate the work that these guys
        have done for everyone.

        http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/scl/HINT/HINT.html

        note: the interactive graphing tool uses floating point
                data, not integer.  (these guys are doing finite
                element analysis and the like.) so the number that
                you see will be different (as i said above)

ps.	some data is available on freefall ~jmb/Hint.Results.tar.gz

Dear,

I have two 3C509 (3COM EHTERNET CARD) in my FreeBSD box.
But, I can configure only one of it.  
Does anybody know how to configure more than 1 card ??

Hello,

Do you know anyone who has ported the Geomview program to FreeBSD?
I went to the Geomview Site to download the program. There is no 
binary for FreeBsd (But it is available for SUN, HP, Linux ...).

Does any one know of any MIDI software (X or text) out there for FreeBSD?  
Something that will actually let me work with MIDI components, not just play 
files.  Is there a MIDI sinquencer for FreeBSD?

Hi,

A friend of mine is trying to 'tip' to a SUN Machine
thru the serial port (/dev/cuaa1) on a FreeBSD box
running 2.2.

Somehow, not all characters are able to get across.
For example the characters 's', 'n' and '=' just can't
seem to get across. On the other hand some other characters
like 'e' and 'f' seem to get transferred just fine.

Would somebody know what's going on? A serial null-modem
cable is being used (I don't think the cable is the
problem though). My guess is that some weird encoding is 
going on. We tried various combinations of parameters to
stty (2 stop bits, 1 stop bit, no parity etc...) but
nothing seemed to work. What is puzzling is that some 
characters work and some don't.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

--rohit.

see numbers below which indicate that a P6-200 slightly outperforms a 200MHz  
UltraSPARC in integer, while the UltraSPARC actually does "kill the snot"  
out of the P6 in floating point.

thank you, mr. wizard.  unfortunately, completely wrong.  the UltraSPARC  
machines all use the UPA crossbar switch which gives a bandwidth of over  
1GB/s.  compare that to a typical PC bus which is usually around 400MB/s (and  
is not switched, as the UPA is).  quite simply, current mass produced Intel  
boards just can't compete for I/O bandwidth.

if memory bandwidth *were* the problem, you'd expect it to show up in the  
floating point benchmarks.

as for "killing the snot out of Sun" in integer performance, the SPECint95  
numbers just don't show it:

                           SPECint95   SPECfp95
Intel Alder 200MHz P6         8.09        6.75
Sun Ultra 2 1200 200MHz       7.72       11.1

if i get a chance, i will run the HiNT benchmarks on an UltraSPARC and a P6  
here.  i doubt i will see any snot flying from the Sun.

benchmarks, of course, can always say what you want them to.

It has been ported. Look into ports collection (ports-current).

There is a port of 'rosegarden' (SGI) and there is playmidi.
AFAIK no midi recorder does exist (yet).

that would work, imho.

NT and FreeBSD can co-exist on ur system, FreeBSD has a pretty nice
boot manager, and u could use the NT boot man if u want.

btw, windoze and UNIX can never become friends.  :)

I have three each in a 2.1.0 and 2.1.5 system. I have my entries from 
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNAL and /etc/sysconfig below.  I had to turn off 
PnP (I don't know if that is still the case w/2.2 and 3) but the 2.1.0 system 
is a firewall and runs very well.

lines from Kernal:

device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr
device ep1 at isa? port 0x210 net irq 5 vector epintr
device ep2 at isa? port 0x220 net irq 3 vector epintr


Lines from /etc/sysconfig

network_interfaces="ep0 ep1 ep2 lo0"
ifconfig_ep0="inet www.xxx.yyy.zzz netmask 255.255.255.vvv"
ifconfig_ep1="inet www.xxx.yyy.zzz netmask 255.255.255.vvv"
ifconfig_ep2="inet www.xxx.yyy.zzz netmask 255.255.255.vvv"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

Hope This Helps!

Yah, I've looked in the ports/audio section and searched the Message and FAQ 
archives :(

I guess I will have to broaden my search to Linux and SCO software to see if I 
can find such a beast (One of the last things keeping NT on my system.  As 
soon as I find an answer to this it goes!)

Make sure your edit the sysconfig file for both cards.

Example (where de0 and de1 are the two cards):

network_interfaces="de0 de1 lo0"
ifconfig_de0="inet 205.137.48.143  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_de1="inet 192.168.69.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"

You also need to recompile the kernel and add the second device.  In my
case I had to add de1 to the kernel config than I recomplied.

I think it's about $40 -- try looking at http://www.cdrom.com, Walnut 
Creek's home page, as they are the ones who sell it.  

Aha!  I just fingered info@cdrom.com, just on a hunch, and got a full 
price list.  It's $39.95 to be precise.

I took away my account after this happened, but then I promised myself 
I'd never do it again and said I was sorry, so I took pity on myself and 
restored the account.

I noticed that a similar question was asked recently,
but I never saw a response.

I tried installing the CyberCash 2.1 admin and credit servers on
my FreeBSD 2.2-961006-SNAP machine and some of the CyberCash binaries
I tried running die on a SIGSYS signal (bad system call).

I can start and stop the admin server, but when starting the credit
server, I get "***!!! Signal SIGSYS caught, Quitting !!!***" and when
stopping the credit server I get "Bad system call - core dumped".

I'm not sure if this helps, but the file(1) output for the affected
binaries is: "BSD/386 demand paged (first page unmapped) pure ex"

The installation notes say that one needs BSDI version 2.0.1 or 2.1
to run the CyberCash CashRegister 2.1.

So my question is: Is FreeBSD 2.2 or 3.0-current fully binary compatible
with BSDI 2.0.1 and/or 2.1?

I'm running the October 6th snapshot (it's the one that came out a few
days before the "fixed" October 10th snapshot). I've upgraded a few
things like rtld, sendmail, etc. Should I upgrade (the kernel) to a
more recent 3.0-current or 2.2-GAMMA? Or has nothing changed with
regard to BSDI compatibility since October?

Thanks,
Pius

P.S. My machine's got a Pentium 133, 32MB RAM, 128MB swap. Is more
information needed?

well, the old sendmail has a security hole, smtp processes got run by
root and ppl can easily write a script the start an smtp process and
get a root shell that way...

an upgrade would be wise :)

Hi!

I know this question maybe does not belong to this mailing list, but...

I am running TACACS+ on a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box, and need urgent help to
configure the Cisco to send PPP authentication requests to the TACACS+
server. Cisco documentation sucks. If anyone can help me, please drop me a
letter in my personal e-mail address, so I can explain the whole problem.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I'm working on some programs that require very large numbers of files
open per process.  200-500 easily.  I've done some research, and came to
/usr/src/sys/conf/param.c... I notice that the system-wide-limit for open
files is the same as the per-process-limit for open files. 

My main question is this:

	What, if any, ramifications will changing 'maxfiles' in param.c to
increase max open files system-wide?  If 'maxfilesperproc' is different
from 'maxfiles' will that cause any problems? 

Additionally, Will I run into other problems with regard to high file
descriptor numbers?  I know that on Solaris (2.5 anyway) even though you
can kick the max-open-files per process up to 2048, the FILE structure
limits the file descriptor number to 1 byte, to 256 total.  Will I run
into similar problems with FreeBSD? 

Any Help would be appreciated,

Jay

Corporate Systems Center sells a lot of past-generation devices still
new in the box, including tape drives.  A recent perusal of their tape
listing reveals:

Several of these should place a SCSI tape within your reach.  The
Conner CTM3200 are TR-3 drives, with a native capacity of 1.6G.
Note that DAT tapes are *much* cheaper than TR-3, if you use more
than a few tapes, DAT will cost less in the long run.

Hi Everyone!

-Just joined the group, and am majoryly stuck! Would anyone be able to help?

I am configuring a FreeBSD box to act as a router to the Internet, but
alas, I have lost nearly a week trying to get it going.

Basic Problem.
I seem to croak around the PAP, CHAP authentication.  After PPP, TERM, atdt..., 
Where PPP man page says I should get a login/password, I get nothing.  I have 
tried setting all sorts of sets like authkey, enable ppp, accept ppp, etc.
No Luck,  the auto ppp seems to always complain abount not getting a 'dstaddr'

I think all is correct with my provider because I can dial in to him on a 
Win3.1 machine using trumpet winsock, and as long as I enable PAP, I connect.
When I dial in UNIX like, I never see a login/passwd, and PPP never gets
invoked.  Show log shows CONNECTED! as the last log message.  So I'm forcing
a dial in ppp, the using TERM, but I can't authenticate using PAP or CHAP.

I don't want to dial and use ppp manually, but it is the only way I can
get it to dial my ISP.  Even though I have entries in my ppp.conf file,
they never seem to 'awaken' and dial anything.

If I ever use ppp -auto -alias interactive, the OS responds:
  with a ppp usage statement telling me -alias isn't an option.  I'm running 
  2.1.6
If I use ppp -auto demand, the OS responds:
  with some password messages, using tun0, but ending with ' must specify 
  dstaddr with auto mode.'
Here I'm just plain lost.

My provider has given me a subnet of addresses, namely 208.136.137.96 - .111
these have a subnet of 255.255.255.240.  Below on ifconfig lines you can
see that I want .97 to be the PPP interface, My ISP also assigns this address to
me upon connecting.   Is this bad that he assignes me an address out of my
subnet? Seemed weird to me.

The ISP is using an Ascend MAX 1800 @208.136.137.5.  I am using an Adtran 
Express XRT.

Would anyone please send any helpful hints my way, if they have any ideas
about what I am doing wrong getting up my ISDN connection to my uplevel
provider?

I'm emailable direct at webnetix@mti.net.

	BUY the machine from Rod.  his charges are very reasonable.
	the machine will be rock solid.

	much better than buying an overpriced underperforming sun.

I'm (still) running 2.1R and have just ftp'ed ip_fil3.1.7. However

Stop.

Can anyone tell mw what's going on ? Looked at /usr/include/net/if.h
where IFNAMSIZ is #defined's as 16. Is it just a matter of #include
that file in ip_fil.h to make it work as I do not want to do anything
that is *not* intended by the author. How about fi_src, fi_dst and
fd_ip ?

Thanks in advance.

Well, here's one for you FreeBSD'ers that will make any Debian
Linux man proud! :)

Thanks to the no see the CDROM problem in FreeBSD, I couldn't
get it installed on  a new Pentium box.  Couldn't, that is, if it wasn't
for my Debian Linux box sitting about ten feet away on a thinwire
ethernet!  

And, ONLY FreeBSD has a problem with that CDROM by the way.
Windows works fine.  As does NT Wkstn, or Debian Linux, and 
even Win95 has no problem with it.  Only FreeBSD can't see it!
STill can't, by the way; but it does run FreeBSD now, thanks to
the Linux box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben,
        Thank you for the prompt reply. The "hide" game seems to be
somewhere
in the hood where it can not be seen.  The following is the most recent
session attempting to  run a program

myname: {1}su
myname: {1}cd /usr/games
        {2}ls
        hide
        {3}ls -l
        total 2
        drwx------ 2 games bin 512 Feb 7 03:41 hide 
        {4}chmod g+rwx hide
        {5}./hide
        ./hide:Permission denied
        {6}chmod o+rwx hide
        {7}./hide
        ./hide:Permission denied
        {8}ls -l
        drwxrwxrwx 2 games bin 512 Feb 7 03:41 hide
        {9}exit
        {2}/usr/games/hide
        usr/games/hide: Permission denied

I changed my profile path to read
        C:usr/bin;...C://jayres;C:/usr/games
        My user ID was not previously in the path.  A member mentioned
adding "." to the path, should it appear C:. or C://jayres/.?
        I have three books describing UNIX.  One books is the manual
that was
include with the CDrom, also "A Dos User's Guide to UNIX" and "UNIX and
XENIX for Beginners".
"A DOS User's Guide to UNIX" has a nice section on the "CHMOD" command. 
Once again the groups I belong to include wheel, bin, games, and a
personal group jayres.
        I am still unable to access any of the game programs, I'm open
for
suggestions.

                                                        Thanks,
                                                                Jeff

Be sure you say "disable chap" as well as "accept chap".  Otherwise,
your end will accept the Ascend's CHAP request, but will also ask the
Ascend to authenticate itself to you using CHAP; the Ascend will
likely not be happy about that.

This seems to be a feature of ppp (the software, not the protocol) :-(.

Here's my conf entry for talking to a Pipe50, with authname, authkey,
and ifaddr altered.  Replace "pap" with "chap" if you need to,
plug in your own values for authname, authkey, and ifaddr, and give
it a try.

ascend:
 disable pap
 disable chap
 disable lqr
 disable vjcomp
 deny vjcomp
 deny lqr
 accept pap
 set authname XXXXXXXX
 set authkey YYYYYYYY
 set ifaddr 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8

Greetings,

I currently have a dual booting system on an 850 MB Hard disk with 
Win95 on the first partition (150M) and FreeBSD taking up the rest of 
the space.

I would like to load another OS onto the system (Red Hat Linux 4.1),
so would like to free up some of the space taken up by FreeBSD.  Is
there any way to do that without completely destroying the existing
FreeBSD file system?

If this was was DOS/Win I could resize the partition using Partition 
Magic. But this program does not work on FreeBSD partitions... Any 
help would be appreciated..

Anil

Don't change it in param.c.  Change it in /etc/rc.local using
`sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=nnnn'.  This shouldn't cause any problems except
increased memory usage.  You may want to increase kern.maxvnodes too.
Setting of these is broken in some old versions of FreeBSD-current.

>If 'maxfilesperproc' is different

None that can't be caused in other ways (except if it is too small, it
limits what can be done using setrlimit()).  maxfilesperproc will go
away soon.  login.conf handles limits better.

>Additionally, Will I run into other problems with regard to high file

Yes, select() will break for fd's >= FD_SETSIZE (default 256).  The kernel
handles any number of fd's, but applications only handle ones up to
the value of FD_SETSIZE that they were compiled with.  Don't expect
to use standard or old applications if you set maxfilesperproc > 256).
The default may be increased to 1024 in future releases.

Not that one.

I know the experimental status of ATAPI cdroms using freeBSD but I have
a would like to install my freeBSD 2.1.6 off of my cdrom, I have
installed it several times with no success. The system has two hard
drives and is running MS-DOS (Windows 95) on the main hard drive, on the
second drive I have installed freeBSD, the book "The Complete FreeBSD"
from walnut creek mentions a file called "atapi.flp" which is used for
creating boot diskettes for systems using IDE CDROMS, my January 1997
CDROM does not have this file & your FTP site does not contain it in the
FLOPPIES directory. I am very interested in getting this running as soon
as possible, can you provide some answers or maybe the file if you think
that will help.

Thanks in advance

it occurs to me that i be speaking harshly on this matter.
if so let me apologize here and now.

in my opinion, pc's are a remarkable value

	they are serveral times more expensive than pc's of better
	or comparable performance  (however, you must pc your pc
	from someone that knwos what he is about, suck as rod
	grimes.)

	as i understand cpu/cache/memory benchmarks, both Hint and
	SPEC, pc outperform suns when executing integer code by a
	healthy margin.  (this is over general...586-90 is close
	to a sparc20)

	applications that i have run and timed on both machines
	bear out the benchmark results.  an example:  we have an
	economist at work that runs large mathematica jobs.  this
	code is floating point intensive.  on a quiet sparc20 the 
	calcuation took 410 seconds, and on the 586-90 460 seconds.
	yes. the sparc20 was faster.  it had 256MB vs 48MB.
	it cost far more.  (oh...mathematica 3.0 sparc vs mathematica 3.0
	linux running in binary emulation on FreeBSD 2.2)
	this example plays to sun's strong suit vs pc's: floating point.

	now if you are doing Java, use a sun.  our java is slow, no
	fault of jeffry hsu.

	otherwise, consider carefully, run your application on
	both platforms and then decide.

My ISP tells me they're having trouble with their phone rotor, and has
given me an additional number to use in case the first gives a
constant busy signal.  I'm using user-mode PPP with automatic
on-demand dialing on FreeBSD 2.1.6, and I've RTFM, and I don't think
there's a way to use multiple phone numbers.  Is there?

I see with kernel mode PPP I can use any program I want to do the chat
stuff, so I could write an `expect' script and make this work, but
last I knew pppd didn't offer on-demand dialing.  Has this changed?

Atapi.flp doesn't exist anymore. 

Try moving your CDROM to the slave position on the primary controller.

Hi,
  I've this second hand AHA1520A card with absolutely no manuals
and no software. The software I can get from adaptec's web site.
But I need to know the jumper settings though. Does anyone have

Much thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I'd like to hear any suggestions, too. The best I can see is this:

If you're using ppp it's most likely dial-in. If you assign an IP address
to each port, then whatever port your user dials into gets the IP assigned
to the port. The only other experience I've had with this is IBM's ppp
which assigns a number out of a pool, but the net effect seems the same.
The only advantage to this is when you have several phone lines on a
rotary.

If you have a DHCP situation, I'm as mystified as you.

Hello,
	I'm running the 2.1.6 release of FBSD,

1) How do I find out what version of bind (named) I am running? 
2) I've heard that there is a bug in some distributions of bind that
prevents named from starting properly when there are more than 64
aliases on an interface. Did I come across some stale info or is this
still an issue? If so, are there any fixes?

Thanks in advance,

A port is a directory that contains patches and scripts to take a
program's distribution archive and turn it into a compiled program that
works with FreeBSD.  By typing 'make' in the port's directory, the
port will retrieve the source archive from /usr/ports/distfiles or off the
Internet, extract, patch, configure, and compile the program;  running
'make install' as root completes the install by copying the program files
to the proper places.  You can easily ftp these from ftp.freebsd.org by
typing 'get port.tar.gz' which will automatically bundle up the port's
directory and send it as a tar-gzip'd file, which you extract by running
'tar xzf port.tar.gz'.  

A package is a large archive containing a program pre-built and ready to
run on FreeBSD.  All you have to do is type 'pkg_add package-x.y.z.tgz' as
root and the rest is done for you.  give a URL like
ftp://blah.someplace.com/path/to/package.tgz as the location and pkg_add
will even fetch it for you!  These are good if you have a small machine
that doesn't compile things quickly and you don't want to mess with the
port.  Unfortunately, you're stuck with whatever options were compiled
into the program, so if you need to set an option to be compiled in,
you'll have to use the port.  Installed packages are registered with the
system and may be removed by typing 'pkg_delete package-x.y.z'.  

Hope this helps.

I do not know, I believe it does since my system doesn't complain.
Certain program use PEX, but you won't loose much if it's not installed.

An overview will be in the release notes of the release.

Was there anything specific you wanted to know about?

It has to do with the environment used when X is started.  I've never been
very sure about this.  You might try moving manpath into .login or
.xsession.

I having a problem trying to mount a primary dos partition.
I am typing the following:

mount -t dos /dev/wd1 /dos

I get something along the lines of:

exec mount_msdos /usr/sbin.. for /dos :  No such file or directory

When I type:

mount -t msdos /dev/wd1 /dos

I get invalid arguements.

The drive is my D: in dos and is one primary parition in size.  I
really need to be able to mount this so I can copy over the
latest XFree8632a.  (The fix for the Diamond Stealth 3000 3D 
Virge/VX is in here.)  I can not copy it to disk as some of the
files are greater than 1.4 megs compressed as is, and I haven't
even attempted to configure a dialout slip/ppp connection
to the internet yet so that I can d/l it right to Freebsd.

Thanks

Some method similar to this:

narcissus:{/home/ben}% less /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/Version.c 
/*
 *      @(#)Version.c   4.9 (Berkeley) 7/21/90
 *      $Id: Version.c,v 1.1.1.1 1994/09/22 19:46:13 pst Exp $
 */

I found the src directory using locate, FYI.  It's a good method for stuff
like this, or for tracking down the author of something to ask a question.

For xman to use a customized MANPATH , it either has to recieve that path
from the command line, or it's parent process. When xman is called from an
xterm, the xterm is the parent process. If a custom MANPATH is in your
.profile, then it passed from the xterm to the xman. 

However, when xman is called from a .xsession/.xinitrc file, the parent of
xman is the .xsession/.xinitrc shell script. And since shell scripts don't
use the .profile or .login files, xman will only recieve a customized
manpath if it is defined for it's parent, i.e. by putting "MANPATH=...;
export MANPATH" in your .xsession/xinitrc. 

Finally, if you call xman from a button/menu, then the parent of xman is
the window manager. But, the parent of the window manager is...the
.xsession/.xinitrc file! so yet again, the MANPATH must be specified in
the .xsession/.xinitrc file.  (this is assuming your window manager is
started in your .xsession/.xinitrc file...if it's started from the command
line, it will inherit all the environmental variables found in your
.profile! i think)

I'm willing to bet you have tip calling out with even
parity (which is the default), and the other machine
set to no parity.

Because they're 8-bit characters, and probably be rejected
by whatever software you're running on the other system (a
shell, or getty?).

Let's see:

	s = 0x73 = 0x01110011 = 5 bits
	n = 0x6e = 0x01101110 = 5 bits
	= = 0x3d = 0x00111101 = 5 bits
	e = 0x65 = 0x01100101 = 4 bits
	f = 0x66 = 0x01100110 = 4 bits

Yep, looks like even parity. The first three get the 8-bit
bit set to make the number of bits in the byte even, and the
latter two pass through unchanged.

Add

	parity=none

to your ~/.tiprc

Hmmm...  The Buslogic verify wants to "destroy all data on the disk".  I
don't think I want that.  Anyone have any ideas on this or know of the
utility mentioned?

Sorry, can't answer that one. You might try looking for named
in the -questions archive - I know it has been discussed before.

Me interested opportunities on install network managament and monitoring

I'm find  NAS Hierarchical Network Management System, but this system
for IRIX. This system is ported for FreeBSD ?

	Since the question about the atapi.flp comes up sooooooooooo 
often, and is likely to continue to come up since the "Complete FreeBSD" 
books that are already out there aren't going to get changed anytime soon 
(*grin*) has anyone given thought to symlink'ing boot.flp to atapi.flp on the 
ftp site and/or the CD's?  I'm sure y'all could figure out a mechanism for 
letting the people know the "truth" somewhere down the road, but at least 
having a file that matched their expectations would get the newbies off and 
running.  

	Personally I just tried it anyway and was pleasantly surprised that it 
worked...but then I'm prone to doing dangerous things like that. :)  If there 
is a good reason not to do this I'll understand, but it would be nice if the first 
image people get of FreeBSD is a good (and successful) one, rather than 
frustration.

blessings,

Doug

1. Verify that AWRE and ARRE are set in mode page 1.  Use the mode
page editor in scsi(8).  This will permit the drive to reallocate
on write errors and RECOVERED read errors.  It won't do anything
for unrecovered read errors such as you have logged.

2. See that you have POST ERROR turned off in that same mode page
to turn off the RECOVERED ERROR messages.  I suspect the driver is
treating that as an error instead of an informational message,
though I haven't verified that.

3. Now you must write something to that bad spot on the disk and
the drive will reallocate the sector.  Note that the Adaptec utility
can't properly synthesize data that it can't read either, though
it may have a sophisticated recovery technique, and so the suggestion
to turn the Adaptec utility loose on the disk may or may not be a
good idea.

The info number in the error message is the disk block that can't
be read.  If that block is on a swap partition dd the partition
full of zeros when no swapping is enabled on that partition and be
done with it.  If the bad spot is in a file system try to figure
out what to do - you have either lost part of a file or some file
system metadata.

Your options are restoring the partition after writing something
to the block or writing arbitrary data to that block to force a
reallocation and hoping for the best.  One option suggested by Rod
in the past is to read that block in a loop hoping at some point
it will succeed and the drive will slip it - this is unlikely to
work, though.

Ask again if you can't either restore the partition or use "dd" to
write something to that block.

If you're willing and able and have your disk backed up, FIRST pick
up ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/dufault/scsinew2.tgz build it
and run the "zones.wish" tk script.  This should warn you about an
improperly setup disk and display the bad spots on it.  Or it may
crash your system.

I'm afraid you won't find any.  I've been searching for years, and the only
thing that is barely useful is a tcl MIDI library.  One would have to start
from scratch. (I've lost the URL, sorry)

Presently, nothing approaches the QBase, which is the only reason why
WfWG 3.11 still remains on my machine.

MACH might be a better platform for MIDI than UNIX, anyway.  You *do* need
hard realtime to play that junk.  Recording is even worse.  Naturally, we're
talking about live and studio performances here.  Just for fun, you don't 
really care if one note comes too late :)

Hard RT is yet another reason why I prefer DOS based MIDI sequencers: there
ain't no OS which *might* disturb their operation.

Hi all,

I am having trouble running the gimp-0.54 binary found on
ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu.  When I run the program, all seems ok until I try to
open more than about 4 windows.  At this point the program either dies
with a sigbus error or a seg fault, stating that it can't allocate 65535
bytes.

Correspondence with the gimp-user mailing list suggested increasing SYSV
shared memory.  I did this with the following line:

options         "SHMMAXPGS=8192"

I have tried values of 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192 all with the same result.

I have also tried compiling a couple of the developer versions with no
success.

does anyone have gimp running on a 2.1.5 system?  The software looks very
promising but isn't much use if I can't have more than 3 windows open at
once.

Any suggestions??

cheers
Carey Nairn

Greetings,

I have tried to install the freebsd in my PC and had
some troubles.

My PC is Pentium 166 with 1.7 Giga disk space.

I used the FIPS utility to creat a new partition. And used the 
novice installation program to install it. 
when the installation started i received at first many 
errors messages that there is a write problem. I guess
that there was somehow a write problem writing to disk.
(but maybe it can be a reading error as well) -
i tried to install the freebsd from dos partition 
and i put whatever was in the CD disk DIST library in 
c:\freebsd library. 

also, when trying to install it a second time i received the
following error:
"failed to load the ROOT distribution".

can you help me with those problems,

thanks in advance,
gil eliraz (eliraz@cs.huji.ac.il)

Hello.

When I execute:

route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

the route table appears ok, 

destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway:     yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

but if the destination (in this case xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
does not exists (is not a machine) , and
I try to ping it, then the route table changes
automatically, and appears the same destination 
and gateway: 

destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway:     xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

automatically!!. I need the gateway don't change !

I need permanently

destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway:     yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

But I can't do it.

I'd yet tryed:

route -lock
route -static
route -nostatic

but the result is the same. What can I do?

Thank-you very much!

Hi, I have a question on the BSD boot manager.....
I know that when you first install BSD it will configure the boot
manager for you...
But...suppose when I have a system there and messed up the 
boot MBR by some other loaders, how can I install the BSD
boot manager again without going to PARTITIONs, disklabel, 
commit .... etc, because it will make changes to my running system.

thanks!

        I'm running 2-1.5R and noticed that the date and time were wrong
last night. When I set the date & time backwards to correct, the system
responded and issued the appropiate messages and hung. The only way to get
it back was to reboot the machine. 
        Has anyone else encountered this? Was it due to setting backwards?
I'm planning to add time sync software and need to know if this is a OS
problem or hardware related.
        Thanks for any info you can provide.

My book says (Nov 96):
Model 1200 with One 200-MHz UltraSPARC Proc, 1 MB Cache
128 MB RAM, 2x2.1 GB F/W SCSI2 Disks, CD-ROM - List: $22,995

Of course, the did just change a bunch of prices so I'm not so sure how
accurate the price is.

I have searched everywhere it seems to find a POP3 server for
FreeBSD.  I have monitored the mailing list here and searched the archives
but no luck in a real pointer to where I can find it.  I have tried
going to the Qualcomm site but didn't find anything there.  Is the
popd from Qualcomm something they sell?  If is is they don't advertize
it at all from what I could tell.   I looked in the ports directories
but there doesn't appear to be anything there.  There is nothing in
packages either as far as I can tell.  Does anybody have some real
experience in getting and installing and running a POP3 server that
has done it recently?

Thanks,
Terry Todd

I had trouble with qualcomms pop jobber - I use the one that comes with
PINE.  Check out washington.edu for the newest that is buncles with their
IMAP stuff.

Look under ports, in the mail section, for popper.  That should get you
started

I have installed FreeBSD 2.2 GAMMA on my Gateway 2000 P5 166 with a PS2
style mouse.

I now need to recompile the kernel to use the mouse eventhough I
configured psm0 when I installed FreeBSD.

How do I configure psm0 and recompile the kernel.

The handbook reference are html documents with I cannot view.

Thanks for your help

Does the mount point /dos exist?

If I attempt to mount to a non-existant mount point,
I get:

Whats wrong with popper?  It's in ports/mail.  
DESCR:
This is a POP 3 server useful for dealing with remote mail reader clients
such as Eudora.

Don't forget to edit /etc/inetd.conf to enable the server after
installation.

     While installing FreeBsd 2.1.6 from Walnut Creek's CDROM a dialog box 
     comes up.  Entitled 'Info Dialog', it says 'Saving any -c boot changes 
     to new kernel'.  Immediately after the dialog appears, I see the 
     message 'Fatal signal 10 caught! I'm dead'.
     
     Any ideas as to what this means?  I have searched at www.freebsd.org 
     but no one has reported having this problem.
     
     Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
	I'm using FBSD 2.1.6 and a 3Com590 NIC. What is the proper syntax for
adding IP's to an interface? This is my current portion of sysconfig,

network_interfaces="vx0 lo0"
ifconfig_vx0="inet 205.164.13.80  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

so if I would want to put another IP on vx0, can I just say

ifconfig_vx0="inet another.ip.goes.here  netmask another.ips.net.mask"

or do I need to do something like

ifconfig_vx0_somealias=...

Once that is done, what do I need to specify in static_routes and
route_xxx (the next part of sysconfig)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've found our problem in the questions list, but the solution there
gives me a compiler error: The function is not declared in our 2.1.6 code.
And since I'm unable to locate the DE_HACK code, I'm guessing that this is
a 2.2 code part?

Are there any more suggestions or solutions for 2.1.6?
Note that we're running already 2 100Mb SMC 9332 cards in this system, 
and they do funtion.

   Blurch. Okay, look for this assignment:

    if (sc->tulip_chipid == TULIP_21140) {
        sc->tulip_boardsw = &tulip_21140_smc9332_boardsw;
        return;
    }

   ...and change it to use the generic one:

...
        sc->tulip_boardsw = &tulip_dc21140_generic_boardsw;
...

   If that doesn't work, well, sorry...I'm all out of hacks for now.

well, compile PINE and u'll get pop3d, run that in inetd, and u'll

I installed FreeBSD 2.1.6 on the second drive in my machine (at the time
it was called wd1), but now I moved it to wd2 and my CDROM to wd1.  It now
sees the CDROM, but how do I change it so that when I boot up, it tries
to mount root from wd2a, instead of wd1a.  It panics when it tries to mount
wd1a.  I can at the boot: prompt type  '1:wd(2,a)/kernel' but I would like
not to have to do that if possible.

Thanks

Well, we're doing image processing over here. Our application runs on
quite a lot of platforms, so we implemented a little benchmakr
ourselves. It does mainly a 'laws' filter on different image types. The
'laws' filter is a linear texture filter. Simply put, a matrix is pushed
over the image, that does some mathematical stuff to the image. :-)
It is a _typical_ image processing application.

We didn't cover image loading and display!

I just recompiled the benchmark. Here are the results:

As you can see from the reference:

- Overall performance is about the same as a Sparc 20
- float is actually much faster on the Pentium as on the Sparc 20.

Considering the price, the Pentium is of course the best you can get -
at least for image processing! (PC's have faster and better graphic
boards too, compared to typical workstations!)

BTW: A P-Pro 200 has an overall benchmark of 3.0 ... faster than a Ultra
143 or Indigo 2! I can't give you exact results since our P-Pro is
currently in San Jose (SPIE conference exhibit).

When installing from a boot floppy from ftp.cdrom.com, this happens
to me as well.  I would hazard a guess that something goes
horribly wrong when the installation program tries to save
changes you made to the device configuration.  I rebooted and
re-did the changes I made to the kernel configuration and from
then on things have been fine.

yeah, those creator 3d boards with ALUs in the VRAM are just such junk.  i'd

a 200MHz P6 beats a 143MHz UltraSPARC?  amazing.  according to your  
benchmarks, the 167MHz UltraSPARC beats the 200MHz P6.  how about numbers for  
a 200MHz Ultra?

Hi!

I have full CVS tree of FreeBSD.
I want to make particular releases of FreeBSD.
What is the procedure to make particular release?

Yes, /dos exists.  I created an empty directory in the
/ root directory to mount to it.  Still no luck with
this.

Yup! And that's not just benchmarks. Our "real live" applications are
faster on the P5 too ("Real live" means mainly byte-images).

I wrote about "typical workstations". I don't consider a Ultra
200/Creator3d a typical workstation!

As a matter of fact we own several Creator (not 3d, however!)
Ultras. Unfortunately we don't have a SparcCompiler 4.0. (still waiting
for the campus licence ... :-( ). And yes: Images are considerably
faster displayed on a Millenium (Accel-X 2.1) than on a Creator (gcc-
resp. SparCompiler 3.0 compiled). Ok - the test is not fair. But I
didn't claim that. :-) I can run a xperf if you like. Now, with
optimized graphics code the results will surely look different.

Note, that I didn't try to generalize anything. I'm speaking of our
needs and observations in the field of image processing. Nothing else.

You may now say, that the benchmark on the Ultras is 3.0 compiled,
too. True. But inherently there isn't much in the code, that is Ultra
specific. I don't expect the code to be more then 10-20% faster, once we
have the 4.0 version of the compiler.

We don't own one. But I can provide you with the benchmark, if you
like. It's only one binary. :-)

this is sarcasm.  the pentium and supersparc are the same generation of  
CPUs.  it is no suprise that doubling the clock speed of one makes it faster.

Thanks for the info, I think I will just have to put together a cheap 486 
system for the MIDI work then :(  I really want to get my home system moved 
over so I can start on a couple of other projects.

I'm going to have to look at the MIDI software thing again though.  I wonder 
how well some of the DOS apps would work under doscmd or such.  Or how well 
the Windoz 3.1 softare would work under WABI for linux.

g77 is available in the ports section.

f77 is a shell that uses f2c to translate fortran to c, and then uses
cc to compile.

Now for some comments... if you want to use g77, I recommend you take
the time to download from prep.ai.mit.edu (FSF site) or a mirror site
the DOC file from the g77 distribution.  Hopefully you won't have to
grab the entire thing.  The DOC file describes what g77 implements and
does not implement. This is very important if you plan to do anything
in fortran that is an extension to fortran 77.

for f2c (i.e. /usr/bin/f77), go to netlib.com and grab the f2c
documentation (f2c.ps) and read it.  It describes what f2c implements
and does not implement.  Again, this is very important if you want to
use any extensions to fortran 77.

I have a big program I wrote that uses STRUCTURE and RECORD (data
structures) --- data structures of this form are not supported by f2c
or g77.  At some point in the future they will appear in g77.  f2c
supports POINTER statements, but g77 does not.  g77 will at some point
in the future.  I am currently trying to get Absoft's fortran compiler
for Linux (commercial) to run under FreeBSD's Linux emulator for these
reasons.  May be I'm crazy...but I haven't had time to finish by C port
of my program.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

	dont have a 200MHz Ultra,  would you run Hint in both

	i would be veruy interesting in graphing them.

I'm sure everyone on the core team has their hands full 
with the recent security issues, but I was wondering if 
there is an ETA on the 2.1.7 or the 2.2 release?

Thanx in advance for your time.

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted as well.

Hello all!

I just uploaded:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/horusdemo.README.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/horusdemo.tar.gz

Or for sites in Europe:

ftp://forwiss.tu-muenchen.de/tmp/horusdemo.README.tar.gz
ftp://forwiss.tu-muenchen.de/tmp/horusdemo.tar.gz

This is a beta version of a commercial image processing system,
developed at the University of Technology Munich (Germany).

Note, that this version only works on post 2.1.* FreBSD versions
(compiled on 2.2-BETA). If you really want to run it on a 2.1.* box,
please contact me for the statically linked binaries.

A description (for those, who don't want to download 8 MB blindly :-)
can be found here:

http://forwiss.tu-muenchen.de/~hafner/horusdemo/install.html

I would be glad to get as much feedback as possible.

regards,

-Walter

I'm trying to get PostgreSQL 6.0 compiled under FreeBSD 2.1.5, and since
it isn't in the ports yet (just released on the 10th), I'm trying to do it
the hard way, maybe submitting the end result myself.

However, I'm getting the following.

gmake[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/pgsql/src/backend/port/BSD44_derived'
gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -O2  -DBSD44_derived  -I../..
-I../../../include
  -c dl.c
In file included from dl.c:41:

/usr/include/link.h:189: previous declaration of `dlsym'
gmake[3]: *** [dl.o] Error 1

As I understand it, this should work, as the declarations in link.h are
declared as external.  I'm bringing this here first because this seems to
be a conflict between FreeBSD includes and compilers.

Man, I've been seeing a lot of benchmarks lately; too bad I havn't seen
sources.  To paraphrase Mark Twain "There are three kinds of lies: lies,
dammed lies, and benchmarks".  
Looking at the listings on
http://infopad.eecs.berkeley.edu/CIC/summary/local/
It looks like the P6-200 beats the Sparc Ultra I in integer and loses in
floating point performance.  No suprise there.

Processor	Clock Rate	SpecInt '95	SpecFloat '95
Ultra I		167 MHz		6.3		9.4
P6		200 MHz		8.7		6.7

Hello everyone,

Does anybody have ecperience with FreeBSD and RAID-Systems? Is a special 
Cntroller needed for that or is the whole thing seen as a single scsi-device by 
any ordinary SCSI-adapter?

Sorry if this sounds dull, but I have no experience with RAID but from what ive 
heard it could be a solution to some of our problems here (as long as it works 
with FreeBSD).

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

I'm a bit at a loss here, are there files which are not being updated, or
something?  Below is a sample line from the cvsup file (it is all one
line, of course) the other lines are the same, except for the src-xxx
part: 

src-base release=cvs host=sup.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/usr 
prefix=/usr delete old use-rel-suffix tag=.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I have an Epson Stylus COLOR printer that I am using solely to print text
under FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE.  Previously under 2.0.5-RELEASE it functioned
well within expected norms.  However, it now takes about 5-7 minutes to
print a _single_ page of text.  I am totally baffled as to why this is
occuring.  If anyone can give me some insight, I would be greatly
indebted to them.  Here is my current /etc/printcap:

------ /etc/printcap ------
#       @(#)printcap    5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90

lp|local line printer:\
        :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/epson:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
------ EOF ----

As an aside, if anyone knows of a way to get Epson's to print Postscript,
I would appreciate knowing about it.  This isn't a big deal, as I have
access to other printers that can, just not in the same building.

With thanks in advance,

Daniel

Wouldn't it be easier to copy the linux method of selecting the root
device with rdev when its built into the kernel?


Is there a way to specify simple boot options (like root filesystem)
without having to rebuild the kernel?

I am trying to get NFS to work. If /etc/exports is like the following, it
works, but read-only. I need to be able to write to the mounted point:

/freebsd luke


thats about as basic as you can get.. how can I make it read-write by
root? ive tried using -maproot but the server doesnt respond when I use
it..

thanks.

Also includee a price/performance ratio for the 200MHz ultra when compared

Hi, I retrieved Merit Radius 2.4.3 from the FreeBSD site but cannot
seem to get authentication of even simple "dumb" IDs.  I'm trying
to use a realm of my domain and forward non-realm or null requests
to another server.  

I don't define any users in the users file but specify realm & Unix-PW
which *should* mean lookup in /etc/passwd then determine dumb, ppp,
etc.

How in the heck does it figure out about the special non-shadow copy
of passwd which actually has the passwords in it?  Does Radius
*actuall* work on 2.1.5?  Does anyone have sample authfile / clients /
users files they can forward?

Thanks

Lee Burns

will print your postscript files nicely on a Epson Color Stylus.

That version is so old that I can't remember when it was released!  :-)

The latest released version is 2.4.23C from the public FTP site:

   ftp://ftp.merit.edu/radius/releases/radius.*.tar.{z,gz}

it is wooking in hundreds of places and even runs on FreeBSD!  :-)

The way you specify users is up to you, but I would not put any of
them in the users file.  When you specify Authentication-Type = Realm
you imply that the RADIUS server should next look in the authfile (by
the realm of the user: user@realm).  In there is should find the type
of authentication to use (by realm) on the entry for that realm.

If you want UNIX type password lookup (/etc/passwd) then the authentication
type you would place in the second field of the authfile entries is UNIX-PW.

The shodow or non-shadow-ness of passwords is handled by the operating
system when the RADIUS server calls getpwnam(3)...

And yes Merit RADIUS actually works on 2.1.5!  Other Merit questions to me.

web...

I took down my freebsd server a few months ago, and now I cannot remember root password.  (Pretty lame, I know).  But, I was told that there is a fix it disk available to boot from to let you, among other things, change root password.

Could you please let me know if this is true and what the url is to find it.

Thank you.

Doesn't sound like you're running an ELF-capable version of FreeBSD.  Might
check that you're on a 2.2 version.

I don't remember having to do anything slick.  They've got this
"interesting" setup.StarOffice script/binary where the top part of the file
runs as a shell script and extracts the binary from the bottom part of the
file and runs it.  That seemed to work OK.

But in order to see the README, you'll want to put a file called "more" in
. (or somewhere in your path before the system more) that has this in it:

#!/bin/sh
shift
exec less $*

since the FreeBSD more doesn't support -d.  Other than that, I don't
remember any real snags except you'll need one of the Linux Motifs.  I got
mine off a Linux friend that didn't want his anymore.

All I'm going to say is, atapi.flp is not referenced in the INSTALL.TXT
which *everyone* should read before installing FreeBSD.  

Complete FreeBSD is wrong, but as is the case with print media, it is very
difficult to update.  A large msg is posted here regularly lisiting the
errors in that text, the atapi.flp error is in there.

The problem with symlinking the file is that we're just postponing the
inevitable removal of the file and no doubt people will grab both and try
both even though they are exactly identical, and we will then excise it so
people stop making this silly mistake, so it's one silly mistake for
another.

I do not detect any references to atapi.flp in the install files or
handbook/faq, so it should be permanently dead.

Hi..
	My name is Ruengrit Changkwanyuen, now I'm currently a student at
Lake Superior State University, MI. I really interested in UNIX and
FreeBSD. Now, I'm taking a Operating System class and I have to do a
presentation to the class. So, I picked to do a presentation on FreeBSD.
Can you guys tell me about history of FreeBSD, please?.. I don't know
where I can find it. I just want to know how FreeBSD is build up.. and
why?.. umm.. and how is the FreeBSD as of now.. something like that.. If
you guys can help me out I'll be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Ruengrit C.

Hi,

Can any one please tell me whether freeBSD has got the drivers for 3COM 
3c900 TPO ( 3COM etherlink XL ) cards or not?

And if yes, what does freeBSD call that device as? (like ep0 for 3COM 3c509)

Thanks a lot for the help.

Miten.

Rebuild your kernel and modify the 'kernel root on ...' line as
appropriate.

Cron probably self-destructed -- it gets really mad when time goes
backwards.  Try to avoid changing the date & time while in multi-user
mode, use DOS, BIOS Setup, single-user mode, or 'ntpdate' to sync.

They are also on the web at http://www.freebsd.org, so if you have access
to a web browser, you can look at those.

There is also an ASCII version called 'handbook.ascii' in
/usr/share/doc/handbook.

I've been beating my head against a wall this entire day (going on 10
hours). Can _anyone_, please, tell me what I'm doing wrong here.

I've got a cisco 2511 running Cisco IOS 11.1.9. I've got it configured to
run radius. Compile radius straight out of the ports directory. Modified
the clients and users files and ran radiusd. So far so good. Telnetted over
to the 2511 and got %Access Denied. *sigh*

Added tons of debugging information to the authentication.c and funcs.c
files and ran it it again. Near as I can track down the encryption used
by the radius port and the cisco 2511 are different... or their keys are.

My router configuration looks basically like this:

radius-server host 204.120.165.37
radius-server key testing

aaa authentication login default radius local

My clients file has only one line:

204.120.165.39	testing

My users file looks thustly (basically just used the sample):

----CUT HERE---

fred	Password = "flint"
	Filter-Id = "unlim"

steve	Authentication-Type = Unix-PW
	Filter-Id = "unlim"

DEFAULT	Authentication-Type = Unix-PW
	Filter-Id = "unlim"

# These "canonical" user entries are searched for after matching a user
# from one of the above user entries (including the DEFAULT entry), but
# only if that first entry did not specify a "Service-Type" attribute.
# The server does this by matching the "hint" supplied by the client in
# the "Service-Type" attribute found in the request.
#
# This feature allows the same user id to be used for either PPP, SLIP,
# dumb-terminal or other access.  Note: the "Authentication-Type = None"
# check item on each of the following entries prevents it from ever being
# treated as a normal user id.
#
# The server checks for eight "Service-Type" values (Login, <<Framed>>,
# Callback-Login, Callback-Framed, Outbound-User, Administrative-User,
# Exec-User and Authenticate-Only) and equates them with the "dumbuser",
# <<"pppuser", "slipuser",>> "cblogin", "cbframed", "obuser", "admin",
# "execuser" and "authonly" entries.  The first three users are shown:

dumbuser Authentication-Type = None
	Service-Type = Login,
	Login-Service = Telnet,
	Login-IP-Host = 255.255.255.255

pppuser Authentication-Type = None
	Service-Type = Framed,
	Framed-Protocol = PPP,
	Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,
	Framed-Routing = None,
	Framed-MTU = 1500,
	Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP

slipuser Authentication-Type = None
	Service-Type = Framed,
	Framed-Protocol = SLIP,
	Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,
	Framed-Routing = None,
	Framed-MTU = 1500,
	Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP

Anyone got any ideas? (need help badly)

Just run 'bootinst.exe' off the FreeBSD CDROM from your first hard disk to
restore BootEasy.  (you'll also need boot.bin if you grab it via ftp)

You're in luck, there's already a history of FreeBSD up on the FreeBSD 
website, at, hmm . . . http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/history.html.

Hello there,

Sorry if this has been asked recently (I've been away from the hackers and
questions mailings for a while) but I was wondering if the Caldera Linux port
of Sun's WABI Windud emulator will work when FreeBSD 2.2 is released?

  http://www.caldera.com/news/pr005.html

I have heard through the newsgroups, et al, that the linux emulation in
FreeBSD 2.2 (GAMMA I suppose) is "pretty much bullet proof," so I'm
wondering if this piece of software has been tried with FreeBSD 2.2?

Thanks,

-Jr

Hi,

I hope you can help me with this ...

On my system I run both freebsd 2.1.5 and ms-dos 6.2 /v (a bi-lingual 
Japanese/English DOS) .

A couple of days ago I picked up a copy of 2.1.6 RELEASE and set out to install 

After creating the freebsd slice (one i1.2G slice on a Western Digital 1.2G 
IDE HD) and setting the partitions I commited the install.

The drive acted like it was timing out cycling on/off (drive access light) in 
@ 5 sec intervals, I let the installation go on overnite and still did not complete !

looking at the output screen it said it was backing up superblocks and
doing some sort of fsck (I never saw this before in my 2.0.5, 2.1, or 2.1.5
installs).

At the same time I replaced my motherboard ( a Microstar) and upgraded my CPU
and DOS to IBM  DOS 7.0/J.

The net effect of the DOS upgrade was it broke the booteasy  boot manager.

at this time I managed to get 2.1.6 installed once, but when I tried to boot
off the hard drive it returned an error message:

"invalid format"

(note the only way I could get the install to work was to get an old version
of MS-DOS 5.0 loaded, run fdisk (5.0) and format (5.0) on the 1.2G drive

simply using fdisk to remove the "Non-DOS" partition and re-installing (2.1.6)
as I have successfully done with all the other versions of freebsd did not
work.

So I reinstalled 2.1.5 and found booteasy was still broken, It gave me two 
choices:

	F1  DOS
	F5  disk2

selecting F5 hung my PC.  To get freebsd up I had to boot from floppy, 
boot: 1:wd(1,a)/kernel  (this generated an error msg saying not found)
then enter return at the boot prompt again 

boot: \n

this would boot the kernel on the hd.

I found that after I reverted back to MS-DOS 6.2 /v (removing the IBM product) 
the booteasy boot manager now works correctly.

Sorry for rambling on here but, back to the remaining problem, any ideas why
I cannot get a good 2.1.6 install to work ?

My hardware:

Gigabyte 586hx motherboard
16M 60ns EDO RAM
Intel Pentium 100M CPU
Conner 515M hd (DOS drive C)
Western Digital 1.2G hd (freebsd)
Adaptic 1542cf SCSI card
Sony 4x SCSi hd (forgot the model number ) 
nextcom ISA ethernet card (NE200 clone )
USR sportster 28K modem (internal set to com2/sio1)
ATI PCI vidio card (expression 2MB dram)
Musicquest ISA MIDI card

I really would like to run 2.1.6 but for now after five (or so) aborted 
installs I'm going to re-install 2.1.5 and at least I'll have a working system.

As I said any suggestoins would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and I almost forgot, can tell me which patches I need to apply to clear up
the latest CERT notice about crt.0 on 2.1.5 and (whistfully) 2.1.6 ?

Please send your responses to my private e-mail addr if you can.  

Thank you

Will you let me know what kind of software FreeBSD include ?
Like MOTIF 2.0V FVWM, XEmacs etc.

Thanks

I have two FreeBSD machines here -- one running a late SNAP of 2.1.5 and
another running 2.1.0-R. I'd been waiting to update them to 2.2.0-R, but
due to the recent break-in at cdrom.com I'm wondering if it is not best to
hold off -- especially because the ports and packages could have been
affected. Since the FreeBSD team didn't write these, and they're binaries,
they could hide Trojan horses very easily.

What was the last released version of FreeBSD before the earliest known
break-in?

Hi.  I'm trying to install the xemacs package, and find I'm missing
libXpm.so.4.10:

	biggusdiskus:/usr/X11$ xemacs
	ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.10"
	biggusdiskus:/usr/X11$ 

I've gotten the source for libXpm from ftp.x.org, and I guess I'll
compile it and install it in /usr/X11/lib; but I thought package
installation was supposed to be a no-brainer?  Is there some
really easy step I missed?  This was supposed to be a 10-minute
project, and it's already sucked up an hour or so -- not the end
of the world, I know, but it's always frustrating when you expect
something to be absolutely trivial, and it's not.

It's safe, but you're going to have a hard time finding 2.2R, as it 
doesn't yet exist.

You guys are amazing!  The attitude on this list really is crappy.  If
they all work and FreeBSD doesn't, whose wrong here dude?  You 
guys walk around with your nose in the air, and can't admit it when
somethings wrong, and all you do is take pot shots at everybody 
else; especially Linux.  Its pretty lousy if you ask me, so this was a
chance to cut you down to size, and I took it!  Kinda like braggin

its time you get real!

Hmm, somehow only flamers seem to have that impression.  I have found 
there to be a lot of generosity and cooperation around here.

No Microsoft OS works by any definition of "work" that I use.  Linux 
works, FreeBSD works.

We have a Stylus Color, but it's hooked up to a friend's workstation
that's not always in UNIX mode.  It sounds like the port's IRQ is wrong or
in use by another device...you might try putting it into polled mode with
lptcontrol.  I run my HP this way and it's fine. 

I think these printers have the same goofiness as the HPs, that if you
want all the text to finish you have to send it a final formfeed to purge
the printer's buffer.

Ghostscript will do this very, very nicely -- use the 'stcolor' device.

Going backwards is potentially dangerous -- the username size changed
between 2.2 and CURRENT, and could cause problems with anything that uses
[uw]tmp.

You've got your head in the sand if you really believe that!  I hate uSlop
too, and the only reason I do have it here at all is because I need it to
support those at work!  Thats why I prefer Linux or FreeBSD, and use
both far more than the other crap.  But you guys really do have a holier

New Text Item:  Re: Is it safe?

2.2.0-R is in gamma. What I'm concerned about, again, is that there could
be security holes in the code -- or Trojan horses in the ports and
packages -- that might make it to release.

--Brett

It's safe, but you're going to have a hard time finding 2.2R, as it doesn't
yet exist.

FreeBSD includes FreeBSD, XFree86, and many precompiled packages and
patches to port even more software.  FVWM and Xemacs are included; since
Motif is a commercial product, it is not, but you can order it from X
Inside, Inc.

See ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD for what comes with a FreeBSD CDROM.

It does, but you don't want it.  I had one of these cards, and they error
on me constantly.  They have a very small input buffer, and this is for a
10/100mbit card!  :( Plus, this card runs in PIO (slower) mode since 3com
won't give out the busmaster driver specs. 

I highly recommend picking up a Digital-based card, generally made by
Kingston, Dayna, Digital, SMC, and others.  Try to shoot for a 10mbit card
only, the 10/100's are changing and the driver hasn't caught up yet.

> And if yes, what does freeBSD call that device as? (like ep0 for 3COM 3c509)

For reference it's called vx0.

Your sig is longer than your message.  You might consider trimming it.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,

I've come across IPX-to-IP gateway products and have read about some
recommendation from magazines where Performance Technology's Instant
Internet is best rate while BSDI's Internet Gateway is the worst among
the 8 products they tested. I have a few questions:

1) Can anyone tell me in more detail about how this IPX-to-IP thingy
   works ? I know as much as the fact that it replaces winsock.dll with
   a replacement winsock lib and it receives winsock apps "data" using
   IPX! This is the part which I do not understand. How is winsock
   API handled with normal winsock.dll otherwise, I mean for both API
   call and apps "data", and how those IPX-to-IP handle them ? Can 
   someone point me to more detailed technical description ?

2) In BSDI's literature, it mentions, there will be no dual-stack for
   the IPX workstation, but what about replacement winsock.dll ? How
   much RAM is really saved with replacement winsock.dll in real life ?

3) Is the method of IPX-to-IP in 1) above considered protocol   
translation or not ? What are the differences ?

4) Is anyone working on this for FreeBSD ?


Thank you very much ...

What versions of Xemacs and FreeBSD are you running?  I have Xemacs 19.14 
on 2.1.5, and I can put up any libs you need for FTP if our versions match.

We're are trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 off of the Walnut Creek

I have been having this problem for a while now and I cannot seem to solve it.
When I rsh/rlogin, I am getting wierd error messages, not the ones related
to not having a .rhosts file or anything like that.  Here they are:

pirzyk@amigo:~/src/startup
17>rlogin snoopy
rlogind: Permission denied.

18>rsh snoopy df

Any idea on where I should look to fix this?  I cannot say when it showed 
(or to take it farther, what I did to cause it to break in the first place).

snoopy is defined in my /etc/hosts file and telnet works fine, but I would
like to be able to rcp/rsh/rdist to the host and I can no longer.

TIA

I am about to setup an internal 28.8 modem on com3.
Is there anything special I need to do to set this up?
Or just activate sio2?

Oh, and can someone point me in the direction of what
software I should use to establish a connection to
service provider and run a script to start the 
slip/ppp.

Thanks

Can someone lay out the process in which I would recover from a failed 
drive in a CCD/RAID-1 Mirror?

ccdconfig tells me that i can configure a mirroring RAID-1, looks just as 
easy as a normal stripe setup...but what to do in a failure?

Sorry for the inconvenience.  I had sent the previous mail from the 
account I normally do not use and that's why the signature was *TOO* long.
I sincerely appologize.

Greetings,

It's me again with more novice questions.  While I've got the interactive
ppp working I'm still trying to work out a few kinks.

I am trying to get it to work as an on demand process but it never seems to 
time out and disconnect. I am using the examples provided in the files
as distributed and those I've found in the documentation. It always starts
and I can use the connection just fine. Even when I close all the applications
that might use ppp and leave it for 3 or 4 times longer than the "timeout"
variable it still seems to be connected. That is, checking email is almost
immediate and there is no dialing etc. (I'm using 2.1.5R)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, John
.

Greetings!

I seem to have a slight problem with the cyclades YeP controller card not
being recognized.  Is there something I'm leaving out?

While I'm at it, is there a way to set up this terminal server so that when
someone logs into this server, that he/she will will redirected to another
host and be asked for a login and password on that host instead?

BTW, the motherboard is: ASUS T2P4 Rev. 3.10

Funny you should ask...

Just a few days ago I commented in another thread about a book I just
recently picked up.  It is
_Web_Programming_SECRETS_with_HTML,_CGI,_and_Perl_, isbn 1-56884-848-x
(which is kind of funny, since the 'x' is normally limited to old or expired
isbn numbers).

In it is a chapter on majordomo along with a cgi app (in perl) that allows
you to maintain lists from your web browser.

Funny you should ask...

Just a few days ago I commented in another thread about a book I just
recently picked up.  It is
_Web_Programming_SECRETS_with_HTML,_CGI,_and_Perl_, isbn 1-56884-848-x
(which is kind of funny, since the 'x' is normally limited to old or expired
isbn numbers).

In it is a chapter on majordomo along with a cgi app (in perl) that allows
you to maintain lists from your web browser.

   Check the permissions on the .rhosts file and make sure that it is only
writable by the owner, and that the uid is the user it belongs to. rlogin
and friends won't use the .rhosts file if any of these things is suspicious.
Also, do you have anything showing up in /var/log/messages? Specifically,
something line "Connection from <host> on illegal port"?

   That's a specification for the ISA version, but will work with a PCI card.
To eliminate the benign "not found" message during the ISA probe, change the
about to just:

This can be caused by many things.  When this happens, hit ALT-F2 and
record what you see.

Isn't that what you're doing when you modify the 'kernel' line?  I'm not
familiar with kernel internals so don't get too technical :)

'Lo all.  I'm running 2.1.7 on two machines.  I know from the release notes
that it's not recommended that one uses Intel EE/16 net cards with FreeBSD.
 However, I'm using them anyway since that's what I have.  I won't complain
about the stability of the driver, but I wanted to know if one particular
side-effect I'm experiencing is due to the driver support, or if I should
look elsewhere for the cause.

Specifically, I'm getting lots and lots of timeout errors when I do NFS
transfers between machines.  The kernel sometimes reports 50-60 timeout
errors when transferring, say, 15-20MB of data.  Both cards are set to use
the full 32KB buffer (both on the card and in the kernel), and they are
going through a central 9 port hub connected by Cat5 cable.  Should I just
chalk this one up to the driver?  If not, what else might the problem be?

Cheers,

Assuming you did not disable secure on the console, you can type '-s' at
the boot: prompt, which will drop you to single user mode.  At that point
you can use passwd to change root's password.  Then type 'exit' and the
system will come up to multiuser mode.

Just turn it on, assuming it's using sub-standard COM3 settings.

Are you sure the connection's completely idle?  The system may be doing
things (dns lookups, etc) that you may not be aware of.

I would really, really recommend installing something newer if you can.
2.1 is ancient.  2.1.7 and 2.2 should be out very shortly.

Put root.flp in \freebsd\floppies or in the top of \freebsd, I can't
remember which.

These machines must exist, or your destination must give a netmask if it
is a net route.

Note that the status on this route will be UH, meaning the system created
it automatically.  It thinks the machine is on the local net -- make sure
your netmask for this interface is correct.

You're looking at old docs.  Just run 'install'.

I just upgraded a system to 2.2, from 2.1.5.  I opted to do a clean
install, and copy over what I needed.  The system servs many domains, but
now with the 'new' sendmail.cf suddenly sendmail is refusing anything but
the base domain.  I have usually just listed multiple domains with a
sendmail.cw file, pointed to in sendmail.cf with the line:

Fw-o /etc/sendmail.cw

I noticed that the newer sendmail.cf already did this, so I didn't bother
changing ANYTHING in the sendmail config file.  My interfaces are setup
with the multiple domains just fine--everything else works from virtual
servers to whatnot.  But when I email to these other domains sendmail
bounces the messages, with the bogus message:

553 roundrocks.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 <roundrocks-request@roundrocks.com>... Local configuration error

It is NOT an MX problem, they are setup correctly.  Yeah, of course the
mail loops back to itself, that is what it SHOULD be doing.  Is it just
ignoring the sendmail.cw file?  WTF is the problem?  I solved it for now
by just grabbing my old sendmail.cf file, but I'd like to know whats up
with the new one?

The way seems to be to put a construct inside of /etc/rc.local running
ifconfig in sequence, adding the ips.

ifconfig vx0 xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq alias
ifconfig vx0 aaa.bbb.cc.dd alias
...

Check the mail archives, multiple ways exist.

gcc and g++ have been upgraded to 2.7.2.1.  For what's new info for these
products you'll have to check the GCC documents.

Oh, whoops, I answered the last question.

gcc is a semi-ANSI C compiler; g++ compiles C++ code, including the proper
libraries.  They are really hardlinks of the same thing, just one name
enables specific options.

  Hi,
    I am installing from Windows 95, but I am confused as to which files
do download. Also does FreeBSD come with a GUI?

Thanks,

Hello those at FreeBDS.org,
I am a student at Case Western Reserve Univ. studying computer engineering
(like you care), and I am thinking about throwing FreeBSD on.
But, what good would FreeBSD be without network drivers. Problem, ...
I don't know if there is any FreeBSD ATM drivers, more specifically, the
Fore Systems ATM PCI cards ( I forget the product name, but they only offer
two types of ATM cards, and they are both compadible in drivers anyway ). I
need to know if/where/how's about getting an ATM, if such one exists, etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I also understand that there is a
alpha/beta ATM driver for Linux ( someone below me has been toying around
with it ). Possible porting? Anyway.. thanks! Any info will do!

-Sander

Hi,

I tried installing tcp wrappers 7.4 on 2.2-ALPHA. Both by adding the package
form FreeBSD packages and by compiling sources. The same sorces compiled
on another platform work correctly, but both  tcpd from the package and 
compiled seem to ignore hosts.* information on FreeBSD. I made sure that
tcpd is called every time it should be and that paths are correct.
Where can be a mistake? How can I debug it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Terry-

I forget the exact location of qpoper, but it *IS* at qualcomm's 
site (slow as it is).  Something like /quest/unix/servers/...

It's also availiable at nic.funet.fi, a great site for all kinds of 
stuff.  Look in /pub/unix/mail/pop

You'll probably need to modify popper.h to get it to run 
right, it seems the original wanted to create tmp files in /var/mail. 
The relevant section should look like this when you're done:

#if !defined(OSDONE) && (defined(BSD) && ((BSD) >= 199103))
# define POP_MAILDIR     "/var/mail"
# define POP_DROP        "/tmp/.%s.pop"
# define POP_TMPDROP     "/tmp/tmpXXXXXX"
# define POP_TMPXMIT     "/tmp/xmitXXXXXX"
# define MAIL_COMMAND    "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
# define OSDONE
#endif

Good luck,

Does anyone know how a tn5250 session differs from a regular telnet

fwtk telnet proxy.

Is there source to a tn5250 program available somewhere?

f77 isn't a shell. (once it has been though)
It's a program - the compiler driver: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/f77/f77.c

You aren't accidently trying to port CERNLIB programs? :-) They have

gcc is a c compiler
g++ is a c++ compiler

As for using them, it's just like any other c compiler.  write a 
program, compile, and move on about your business.

I upgraded from 2.1.6 to 2.2, and everything went smoothly.  I didn't 
loose any users, any mail (that I'm aware of), or anything else for 
that matter.  However, last night, I got a call from my boss, telling 
me that he was logged in anonymously to the ftp server, and was able 
to delete files at will.

I thought he might be mistaken, but I verified this myself, and was 
able to do anything with the files under /var/ftp   (chroot was still 
in effect, and yes, everything was chmod o-w).  Switching over to 
wu_ftpd fixed this.

No real worries from me, but I thought others might be interested in 
this.

For instructions on downloading and isntalling FreeBSD, try reading 
the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook

Shouldn't be a problem for you since you seem stuck in your web 
browser so badly that you post email in HTML formatted text.

I'm using it now, it's called X.

For the other question, see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html.

Please don't send mail to the list in HTML, it's annoying and hard to read.

I realize that clock rate between two separate architectures don't
compare very well at all, but I find it interesting when people
compare x86 hardware to <insert other platform here>, they tend to
choose a higher clockrate for the x86 hardware.

I'd like to see P6-180 (I don't think they make a 166/7...) verses the
Ultra I.

To change the subject somewhat...

It would also be interesting to see a comparison between the 500MHz
Alpha (or any of the new alphas... they start at 366MHz) and the
P6-200.

>From what I see in the ad here, a 500 MHz Alpha is priced to be fairly
competetive with the P6-200.  Too bad for WinNT 4.0 it only runs the
Alpha in 32 bit mode (according to this ad).

The 366MHz Alpha is even within the price range of a lot of home
buyers.  That price of $3k looks extremely attractive!  I think I'm
going to start saving my pennies.

Hi, doug, thanks for your message about boot manager...
another question:
I tried to run fixit.flp to fix a problem in my /etc/ttys of my system
lying on /dev/wd0s3
what i did was to:
mount /dev/wd0s3 /mnt


the message i got was something like "Operation not Permitted"
How can i fix my system if I can not mount it?

Yang

Hi, I have installed my 4.4 BSD System and everything worked well.
But when I reboot my machine in BSD the system asks me for a login name
and password. I have tried to set the login name and password and root password
in the install program but that didn't help. Nothing works and I don't
know what to do.

Yeah yeah, you only got flamed after you posted a bunch of advocacy to a
questions list, didn't you?  Any individual with enough clue to read the
documentation is aware that FreeBSD support for atapi CDROMs is alpha quality;
no-one is making any secret of that.  It's not a priority of the developers to
expend massive effort on supporting evil hardware (which atapi assuredly is).
Perhaps if you'd actually asked a question instead of flaming we might have
been able to help get your system running....

If you don't like it, don't use it -- it's not like you've invested a whole
bunch of cash in FreeBSD (or Linux for that matter).  But don't come on a
questions forum -- whose purpose it to help people, not flame them -- and
start making stupid comments about things you clearly don't understand.  Most
of the people on this list are more than helpful, although it is interesting
to note that it's usually the more rabid Linux advocates who provide the
exceptions to that rule.  You prefer Linux to FreeBSD?  Fine.  I really
couldn't care less.  Take it to comp.os.linux.advocacy.

You'll also have to change /etc/fstab. It would be much easier for you if 
you just rename your disk back to wd1. To do that, remove the wd1 line 
from the kernel config file (i.e. comment it out) and replace the '2' on 
the wd2 line with a '1'. This would make your disk be called wd1 again. 
The CD is not called wd1 but wcd0, so they will not collide.

Did you try root with no password? That's the default...
In any case, you can give -s at the Boot: prompt. This will bring you 
into single user mode where you can modify root's password.

It can do that and a zillion other things. Take a look in

 There are several differences; mostly that it negotiates a binary
sessions instead of text one.

 tn5250 emulates an IBM EBCDIC terminal that deals in things called
3270-control codes; or a 3270-data stream.    The terminal accepts
this stream; draws stuff on the screen based on it. Let's the user
fill in certain areas and when <ENTER> (or, more generically, SEND) is 
pressed; sends the filled in information back to the machine.

 If could be your proxy isn't working for binary sessions.

 For more information, you should see the tn3270 sources in 
/usr/src/usr.bin or the tn3270 man page.  [A 5250 is just an
improved variant of this scheme.]

 Also, you can look up the X11 variant (tn3270 is a curses program),
x3270 - written at Georgia Tech.  It's available in the ports.

talk to Chuck Cranor (chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu), back in September, he said in an

the works for their ATM stack.
 
an even better contact may be Joseph Thomas (jpt@msc.edu), who recently
talked on the -hackers mailling list about a FreeBSD 2.2 port of their
Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software that supports the FORE PCA200E

The RADIUS server in the "ports" directory is our server (Merit) and it
is very, very old now.  There is a newer on you can grab from our FTP site.

Our server conforms to the RADIUS RFC and so does the Cisco RADIUS client
(I am quite sure) so this stuff is meant to work together.  In fact we use
the 2511 here in several places.

The sample users file in our distribution uses the Filter-Id "unlim" just
as an example.  Maybe the Cisco concept of filters is different.  Maybe
you don't have any filters configured.  You don't need that reply-item
unless you are planning to use packet filtering on the NAS (you say router).

Please don't be tempted to modify the slipuser, dumbuser and pppuser pseudo
user entries in the users file.  These are there for a reason and unless
you really understand what is going on it is better not to fix that which
ain't broken.

There is built in debugging and you needn't "add tons of debugging" code
to see what is going on.  You need only add one or more "-x" options to
the command line when you start the daemon, or if the daemon is already
running you may send it USR1 signals to increase the debugging level (one
USR1 equals one "-x" option) and the USR2 signal turns off debugging.

Once debugging is enabled, there is a file radius.debug created next to
the other configuration files (clients, users, authfile).  Look in here
and the logfile for reasons why things aren't working.  For Merit RADIUS
specific questions, I am a fairly good resource...  :-)

actually, i wouldn't.  it isn't relevant to the question at hand.  i have a

Hi @

We just bought FreeBSD v 2.1.6 from Walnut. I am looking for CLNP and ES-IS
implementation. I was informed on the newsgroup that FreeBSD has a CLNP
implementation.

Can someone point me to the directory that has CLNP implementation ? Also
is it in the version 2.1.6 or some beta version ? 

I am very new to FreeBSD and have never used it as of now (am in the process
of installing it).

Thanks
Alpesh

Has anyone tried the Linux beta of Vibe (a java IDE -- www.visix.com)
on 2.2-gamma or -current? I'm considering upgrading a 2.1.x machine if
it works.

Thanks

In release 2.1.0 there was an alternative in the installation menu which
read:
Load a pre-configuration file from floppy
With that it was a simple task to make a customized installation.

In the current release, 2.1.6 (I don't exactly in what release it
disappeared), I can't find either the Load option or any information
about an alternative way to do it.

Is there one?

While any author can set his own priorities, I find it unfortunate to
see
the most popular PC CD-ROM type classed as evil -- I own the original
NEC
double spin external SCSI drive, but I find no advantage to it over the 
numerous internal ATAPI drives, including the NEC 6X and 8X ATAPI drives 
on three NEC Pentiums I've directed the purchase of for my family.  That 
vendors have made the cheaper design affordable and thus a staple for
every 
PC is neither evil nor stupid.

It would be desirable for the FreeBSD authors to further the use of
FreeBSD 
to make the ATAPI drives more usable with production quality drives, but
as
originally noted, it's their choice.

Hi I used to able to access both of my OS from FreeBSD boot manager when
I was using Windows 3.11. Since I installed Win95 and RE-INSTALLED
FreeBSD afterward (w/ the boot manager installed as well) I couldn't no
longer access to BSD. As soon as the system come up it goes straight to
Win95. And if I hit F8 and choose Dos OS then all it gave me is Dos 6.2
OS environment. Whatever happened to FreeBSD boot manager? How come the
software didn't kick in before Win 95 starts?

Thanks in advance

Hi:
   I can't seem to get the cdrom to be recognized after I finish the novice 
install. Even thought the (Panasonic/Reveal) CD driver (matcd0) seems to be 
loaded fine and reads during the install--after I cant see the "dists" 
directory. Any ideas?

   Also, ifconfig SEEMS to work ok from the command line, the network config 
in the sysinstall program sees the ne2000 device (ed0) but never prompts to 
set the ip numbers, subnet, etc.

   Lastly, I am having a hard time XFree86 to work. But that will be better 
after I can access the cdrom from command line.

Hi. I have a customer who is using FreeBSD Ver 2.1.0 together with I-BUS 
(San Diego) TigerShark Pentium CPU board. This CPU board has an built in 
SCSI controller based on NCR53C810. To this system an 1,08 GB Seagate 
SCSI harddrive is connected.

They have problems when they are installing the FreeBSD Software on this 
system. When FreeBSD i starting to create the file system it hangs. The 
only way out is reset.

1. Do they need any special driver for NCR53C810 SCSI controllers
2. If so, where could I fin theese drivers
3. Are they doing something else wrong

Best Regards

Greetings,

I have FreeBSD 2.1.5, and I can't find the GNU  "info" files for anything.  Specifically, I'm trying to find the info files for gmake, gcc and g++.  I checked the CDROM and they just plain aren't there.  Where are they?????????

ALSO:  How much trouble will I get myself into if I download the latest gcc from the GNU archive.  Does the 6M file come with source, so I can build it under FreeBSD?  Will the latest gcc (2.7.2.1) contain all the info files?  What if I ever need to build a new kernel - will gcc 2.7.2.1 work OK?

And finally:  There are a ton of libraries in /usr/lib that I have no idea what they are for.  Is there any documentation on the libraries that are installed there with FreeBSD, and what functions they contain?  I don't even know what applications or packages put in there, so I can't go to a specific program's documentation to find this out...

Can you tell I'm a UNIX newbie?

Thanks,
-John Bushakra (ubushj02@mcl.ucsb.edu)

I brought one of my 3.0-current machines up to a freshly rebuilt
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86 tree (because of the wtmp stuff - xterm etc.).

Since then I have the following problem:

One user which logs in at the console and was used to use startx before
now logged in through xdm (since my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm dir
got overwritten - but that got fixed menawhile and I decided
to leave an xdm controlled X server running) and complained that
his .xconscript (which is executed in his .xsession) could not
be executed:

This is what appears in the first window right after login:

console: Can't execvp .xconscript

and the rest of his .xsession isn't executed.

I think this comes from xdm -> Xsession.

The script is executable for owner group and world.

Thanks for the information --- I feel a little sheepish.

Yeah, sometimes I don't think ahead (I'm the programmer).  It seemed like
a good idea at the time (more readable code etc.).  I deviated enough 
from the standards so that my code compiles on HP's Fortran compiler 
(700 series), but it doesn't run correctly.  HP's compiler has a bug.

No, I'm not.  I do use some LINPACK routines, but they are all in standard
Fortran 77.  Thanks though for the heads up about CERNLIB.

The technical support person at Absoft thought it would work too --- he
actually seem to know exactly what I was talking about.  He warned me that
Absoft's debugger probably would not work because the debugger exploited
kernel data structures.  I don't know yet.  I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.6.1 
(I track STABLE), and I haven't gotten anything to run under the Linux
emulation yet.  I haven't exhausted all my options, so I haven't posted
questions. 

I'm also trying to get matlab for Linux to run under the emulator, but I
think I'll need to switch to 2.2 to get it to work.  matlab isn't a real
priority anyway --- octave works just fine.

Oh, I could switch to Linux...but that would be too simple! ;-)

Try booting with '-s' on the command line instead to boot to single user
mode.  

Once you get a shell, type 'mount -u /' then 'mount -a', then you should
be able to modify /etc/ttys.

In the 'info' distribution, next to 'bin' in the usual places.

A lot.  :(  If you need 2.7.2.1, upgrade to 2.2-GAMMA or -RELEASE when it
comes out.

The source is the documentation, I guess .... :-/  Unless something is
stuck into the manpages...

Hi!

I've got installed 2.1.6.1-RELEASE.
I need to add second hard disk to my system.

The procedure described in FAQ not works due to some unknown to me bugs
in sysinstall (sysinstall for 2.1.0R works fine with this FAQ procedure).

How can I manually add the disk to the system?

Thank you in advance.

I don't quite understand what's going on here, could you please give some
more detail?

Did you make sure the matcd driver in the installed kernel is configured?

The dists/ directory was excised for 2.1.6.  Use the 2.1.6 installer if 
you're not.

It will when you go to use it in sysinstall.

Windows95 flushed the boot manager.  Reinstall it by running
'bootinst.exe' off the CDROM, or download it and 'boot.bin' from
ftp.freebsd.org.  Boot to a DOS 6.x floppy and run it and BootEasy will be
restored.

This is known Win95 behavior.

No, assuming your BIOS is driving this unit.

Not that I know of.  You might hop over to the alt-f2 console as soon as
you can and see if some error message is generated.

I use cvsup to update -current /usr/src files.

I noted a reference to the use of cvsup to keep a local /usr/ports directory up
to date.  How is this done?  Importantly, does this procedure pull the
distfiles?  (The desirable answer would be, for most people I assume, NO).

Regards.

Ok, this has probably been asked and I missed it, but I couldn't find it by
searching the mailing list archives.  Does anyone have any suggestions for
compiling the upgrade from 2.1-stable to 2.2-gamma?  Is this such a pain
that it's recommended not to do?

Basically, I've cvsup'd RELENG_2_2.  Now do I make world first, compile the
new kernel first, sacrifice small animals above my machine first?  Any
suggestions on how to deal with changes in /etc so that I can make them
without wiping out the information there I need to keep?

Thanks,

I am running FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP ona 486/50, 16MB RAM Various disks, 4X-CD,
28.8 internal modem, and a SMC ultra Ethernet card.  

I'd like to use a SMC Token Elite card to run TCP/IP to/from an AS/400.  AS/400
ethernet cards run about $3400 last we checked.  I'm not even sure that one
can run IP over Token Ring but more importantly, are there SMC Token Elite 
drivers for FreeBSD or is anyone working on them.

Thank you,

   Closer still, but not quite.

   I found an IBM html site that gives me some of the _exact_
   specs on my DSAS-3720 drive.  Which is fine except that 
   I need to know how to disklabel the drive to avoid the 
   error messages from the scsi driver.

   This may not be all that I need in /etc/disktab, but hopefully
   someone can clue me in on how-to plug in the right numbers.

   Format capacity		730,791,936
   user bytes/logical block	512
   logical blocks/drive		1,427,328
   Cylinders			3302
   Alt				2
   Total cyl			3304
   heads			4
   sectors			108
   RPM				4500


   I was surprised at how far off the mark the probe routines of
   the driver were; but then, I understand that these need to be
   rewritten and tuned.

   Anyway, can anybody clue me in on what steps I need to do
   to (1) create an `ibm3720' section in /etc/disktab; and (2)
   how to use disklabel to write these new data  so that the
   previous errors go-away?

   Thanks, people.

If you take the example file in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile,
you have a nice thing to work with, it does exactly what you want. 
The ports-all target does not fetch the distfiles.

I note the following, from man cvsup, *suggests* that if you are specifying 
a RELENG you should point at the cvs directory sources.  Is it your 
understanding that you follow the "stable" procedure with RELENG_2_2
if you want to cvsup the gamma?

 To receive the `cvs' release, simply use your existing supfile, un-
     changed.

     To receive the `current' release, edit your supfile as follows:
     1.   Change all occurrences of `release=current' to `release=cvs'.
     2.   Change all occurrences of `prefix=/usr/src' and `prefix=/usr/ports'
          to `prefix=/usr'.
     3.   Add the phrase `tag=.' to each line of your supfile.

     To receive the `stable' release:
     1.   Change all occurrences of `release=current' to `release=cvs'.
     2.   Change all occurrences of `prefix=/usr/src' to `prefix=/usr'.
     3.   Add the phrase `tag=RELENG_2_1_0' to each line of your supfile. 

Thank you, and regards.

Hello,

I am running 2.1.6.1, and I keep getting the following error message
on my console.  It happens roughly once a week or so.  I copied this
one from the console...

Feb 5 15:58:32 0.0.0.0 NetBlazer: # Processor FAULT:BPT (Vector 30x3)

Most of the time, this message does not seem to impact my system in
anyway.  However, sometimes the message arrives at the same time my
ethernet card freezes. Then my system won't respond to pings, telnets,
rlogins etc., but aside from network activity, the system is fine. I'm
not sure what is causing the problem or how to track it down.  Does anyone
have some advice or constructive criticism?

I have a Gateway 2000 G6-200 (Pentium Pro 200mhz) with 32mb of EDO
RAM, a Matrox MGA Millennium 2mb PCI video card, a SMC EtherPower PCI
ethernet card, an Adaptec 2940 ultra wide PCI SCSI card (only have
SCSI II devices though), a Sound Blaster 16 card (ISA), a Seagate
ST32140A 2gb EIDE drive and a Wearnes CDD-620 ATAPI CDROM drive. I've
included my kernel configuration file and the boot up message from

Dear Sir, Madam,
	I have just purchased the Free BSD packages and started installing.  I
got a secondary hard drive which has a lot of disk
space.  As the installation asked me about partitioning, labeling,
and mounting I feel very confused about those question though I have
some basic kill in partitioning with DOS.  In both Linux and Dos
we usually refer to Meg Bytes, or head sectors.  I am still not very
familiar with the idea of partitioning by blocks.  If it is possible,
please give me some examples what I would type in for partitioning disk
drive.  Also, I got some error mesg like "can't find swap partition, or
the root partition."  Please give me some helps for that.
						Sincerely yours,
						Andy Nam Nguyen

Ruslan, 

I just had to add another scsi disk to my system (2.1.5) and found
that sysinstall seg faulted every time I tried to use it as specified in the
handbook or any other docs. I ended up using sysinstall to setup the slices 
and then using disklabel manually to to configure the file system partitions.

Last night, I backed up all the important information on one of our
FreeBSD servers, so I could upgrade it to 2.2-GAMMA do to the security
flaw in 2.1.5, and the fact it would only boot from floppy. I used tar to
back everything up, then put all the files onto another FBSD machine, then
ftp'd them back over after this system was back up. Everything worked
fine, except the home directorys didnt keep the ownership permisions?!
Anyone know why this would happen? I used the following command to back it
up :

tar cvfz home.tgz /usr/home/*

every other directory kept the proper ownerships and
permissions(/usr/home did kepp the right file permissions though..)

thanks for any ideas.. since the /usr/home dir. isnt TOO big(maybe 30-40
users) I had to change the ownerships by hand. :( When upgrading to 2.2R I
don't want to have to do that again! :)

You most certainly can run IP over token-ring and (last time I
checked) no, there are not FreeBSD drivers for any token-ring
cards.  If you are not too concerned about performance between
the two machines, I'd go find a 486, a ethernet card, and a
token-ring card, as install Windows NT or OS/2 and use it as a
cheepo router between your FreeBSD box and your AS/400.  It'll
cost a lot less than a $3400 network card.  I can't vouce for
Windows NT (only used it to route for an hour) but I use a OS/2
machine to route between several networks.

PS. If you find a token ring driver for FreeBSD (any type
token-ring card) or Linux, let me know, I could use them.

Is there any easy way to create a boot floppy to permit me to boot to a

compile a new kernel?  Can I create a new floppy with the custom kernel?

Error Mounting /Dev/w2s2 on /dos : Invalid Arguement (22)

This is the error msg i get when i *attempt* to install FreeBSD.  I have
installed this before, but this time i am doin it a little different.
Before, i used a deticated 130mb hardirve, but this time i paritioned my E:
drive 3 ways.
1st Part. 250MB (DOS)
2nd Part. 1035MB (DOS
3rd Part. Nothing, but there is 250MB free an the part. table

I am using the blank Part. 250MB to install.  I am doin the user install, i
have the /man /des /dict /doc and /bin dirs.

Last time, this worked, this time it doesn't.  I specified 40mb for / , 30mb
for swap, 15mb for /var, and 165 for /usr.  Should this not work ok?

Oh ya, i am usin the 2.1.6 RELEASE ver.

Thanx For Yur Help!

Subject: slip dedicated connection

Hi:

    I have a small problem... 
    I just conected two boxes with slattach. So far so good... I can ping
from one to another, etc... One of this boxes is connected, through ethernet,
to a router and the Internet. The problem is that the machine connected with
slip, cannot resolve any address. I know that's a routing problem, but until
now I could not figure where I'm goofing...

The situation:

   machine1 ed2 ip 200.255.96.24 netmask 255.255.255.224 (8 subnets of 30 ips)
            slip 200.255.96.28 (sl0)

   machine2 slip ip 200.255.96.29 (sl0)
  
   I've defined the following routes:
   mach1: (running routed -q )
         route add 200.255.96.28 127.0.0.1
         route add 200.255.96.29 200.255.96.28

   mach2: (running routed -q)
         route add 200.255.96.29 127.0.0.1
         route add 200.255.96.28 200.255.96.28
         route add default 200.255.96.28

   I can ping each other. Mach1 resolves addresses just fine.
But mach2 do not resolve anything and just pings to mach1 . 
I've tried to change the default route from mach2 to 200.255.96.24 
(the ip of mach1's ethernet), but no lucky.
I was wondering if I need to run the slip machines addresses in another
subnet...

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks a lot !

Regards,
Helio.

Do you mean such as:

tar cvfzp home.tgz /home/*  ??

I tried this, then extracted it onto a different FBSD machine running
2.1.6. Didnt work. If I extracted it onto the same machine that created
the archive, it works. But it does that withoug the -p option of tar.

Actually, a token-ring driver that works with IBM ISA based TR cards is
included in the Linux 2.0 kernel.  I know someone using it, and helped him
try to troubleshoot it (till we found out we needed True-Blue cards, not
clones).

With the real cards, he hasn't had a problem.  Oh, this is 16mbit TR.

I'm trying to set up a Zip drive.  I consulted the following bit of mail 
that I received a while ago and saved for such an occasion:

But I got this result:

/home/ben# disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1s4 zip100
disklabel: /dev/sd1s4: Device not configured

Undaunted (ok, maybe a little daunted), I tried the following:

But: 

/home/ben# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 count=2
dd: /dev/rsd1: Device not configured

Clearly I'm missing something pretty basic.  I tried cd'ing to /dev and 
running "./MAKEDEV sd1", to no avail.

If some kind soul could tell me what step I've neglected, I'd be most 
grateful.

   This indicates that, for some reason, the kernel couldn't find the device
that it booted from. Often this is caused by disk controller settings (port,
irq, etc.) in the kernel not matching the actual controller settings. What
type of disk controller is the system disk attached to?

I read in the FreeBSD handbook that tape drives connected to the floppy
drive controller are supported.  I have a Colorado T1000 floppy tape
drive.  This drive is connected to a floppy drive, not directly to the
controller.  Does FreeBSD support this type of tape drive?

I've been looking through your site, and see you have install instuctions
for DOS.. I was wondering what i need to do to install FreeBSD on a newly
assembled computer that has not yet been booted.

You need the boot.flp floppy and access to the FreeBSD-distribution you
want to install. The distribution could reside on (a lot of!) floppies,
on some computer in your lan or the Internet, on CD-ROM, *or* on a
local DOS-partition, whatever fits best your hardware configuration. 

You do *not* have to install DOS on your target in order to install FreeBSD.

But you do need a running system to prepare the boot.flp. This *can* be
DOS but any UNIX-System with access to a floppydrive will work as well.

I wish you good luck installing FreeBSD!

Joe, I'm a bit confused at what you're trying to do. The tn5250 protocol
is most usually used to talk to an AS/400. It's an adaptation of the
5250 protocol used to connect display stations (i.e. intellectually
challenged terminals) to AS/400 via twinax.

Are you trying to connect to another PC that has a 5250 emulator in it
via twinax? (Hope not ... don't think this would be easy).

If you're trying to connect to AS/400 just start TCP/IP and the telnet
server on the 400 and connect that way. AS/400 telnet prefers to use
tn5250, but it'll also talk tn3270 and then VT220 and VT100.

> Is there source to a tn5250 program available somewhere?

I don't know of any tn5250 source code that's available to the public.
If you want more info on tn5250 there is an RFC for it:
http://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1205.txt

You might also get more information at the News/400 magazine web site:
http://www.news400.com. In particular they have a white paper posted at
their site with the title "The Evolution of TELNET 5250 (TN5250)",
http://www.news400.com/education/WhitePapers/Telnet/Index.html

It sounds interesting and I keep meaning to actually read it some day
... :-)

Other AS/400 web sites are: http://www.as400.ibm.com and
http://www.midrangecomputing.com/

Hope this helps, -john martz

Have you ever tried putting this type of line in the options file
disconnect "/usr/sbin/pppd"
I am trying to come up with a way for pppd to reconnect the line if
it drops for some reason.  I don't know what the other consequences
of putting this line in are so I am posting it here to see if anyone
else has done this.

Thanks

Hi,

LINT says:

# Under some circumstances it is convenient to increase the defaults
# for the maximum number of processes per user and the maximum number
# of open files files per user.  E.g., (1) in a large news server, user
                      ^^^^^^^^
# `news' may need more than 100 concurrent processes.  (2) a user may
# need lots of windows under X.  In both cases, it may be inconvenient
# to start all the processes from a parent whose soft rlimit on the
# number of processes is large enough.  The following options work by
# changing the soft rlimits for init.
#
options         CHILD_MAX=128
options         OPEN_MAX=128


-=-=-=-=

sys/syslimits.h says:

#ifndef OPEN_MAX
#define OPEN_MAX                   64   /* max open files per process */
                                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^
#endif

-=-=-=-=-=


It'd be useful to clear up this contradiction.

BTW, which is right ?

Merely put the line 

persist

in your options file and it will redial and reconnect.

My options file follows

        /dev/cuaa1
        115200
        connect "/usr/bin/chat '' 'atdtXXXXXXX' '' '\\r'
'rname>-\\r-name>' 'USER' 'word>' 'PASSWORD'"
        crtscts
        lock
        defaultroute
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        0:0
        persist
        modem

The above chat script varies with the ISP's terminal server.

I got a cryptic message from my ISP saying I am bouncing email
for my virtual domains.  (My main domain is chaski.com, but
I also have several others such as infordata.com)

I have not been able to contact my ISP, so I was wondering if
anybody had any idea what I would have to do to not bounce
the mail.  How can I tell what mail I am bouncing?  What files
to I have to change to accept it?

I thought this was setup in the DNS?

Thanks for any advice.

The web site should have a list of supported hardware, though it's 
usually a bit out-of-date.

Most are supported. There are a few problems (that seems to be fixed with 
some patching) regarding the newer 21140-AC chipset. If you have one of 
those, search the hackers and the questions archive for "21140" and 
you'll probably get at least some of the workarounds for those. Most of 
the older 21140 work just right of the box.

You can use megabytes in the partition and label editors. Just append "m" 
to the number to indicate that it is in megabytes rather than blocks. You 
may also opt for the "auto" option in the label editor (at least as 
something to begin with). Did you get the package with 'The Complete 
FreeBSD' from WC? If so, read it. It's a great help for installation. 
Also read carefuly the doc's on the web site.

Take a look at /var/log/mailllog

Do you have all the domains listed in the sendmail.cw file (or on the Cw 
line in /etc/sendmail.cf if you don't use sendmail.cw)?

You also need to tell sendmail to accept the mail. See above.

Not enough. You also have to make these "local" domains so far
as sendmail is concerned. The easiest way is to add the "cw"
file feature (see the README in the cf subdirectory of the
sendmail sources) and add all domains for which you handle
mail in /etc/sendmail.cw. Or, add multiple Cw<domain> lines
into your /etc/sendmail.cf and restart sendmail.

<connectscript> and all should go good.

	Problem with persist is that if the reconnect fails pppd will
exit.  I think there is another options that specifys how many times pppd
will retry after a failure.

I recently got a SMC 8416T ethernet card and set it for ed0 (irq = 3 and
I/O = 240) in /etc/sysconfig.  When Freebsd boots, I get the following
message:

Starting Routing Daemon: Route ED0: NICE Memory Corrupt
ED0: NIC Memory Corrupt - Invalid Packet Length 4864

I read the man pages for ed0, but am still unclear as to how to resolve
this problem.  Can someone help?

Cheers!

I sometimes like to write at scripts that resubmit themselves, perhaps
one day later (sometimes this is cooler than using cron).

This doesn't work on FreeBSD 2.1.6 (at least on my system) because the
resubmitted script starts out with:

#! /bin/sh
# mail     root 0

and the code in atrun.c does this:

    if (fscanf(stream, "#! /bin/sh\n# mail %8s %d", mailbuf, &send_mail) == 2)
    {
	mailname = mailbuf;
	pentry = getpwnam(mailname);
	if (pentry == NULL || pentry->pw_uid != uid) {
		syslog(LOG_ERR,"Userid %lu mismatch name %s - aborting job %s",
		       (unsigned long) uid, mailname, filename);
		exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}
    }

and pukes because 'root' is not my name.

I looked at at.c:

    /* Get the userid to mail to, first by trying getlogin(), which reads
     * /etc/utmp, then from LOGNAME, finally from getpwuid().
     */
    mailname = getlogin();
    if (mailname == NULL)
	mailname = getenv("LOGNAME");

    if ((mailname == NULL) || (mailname[0] == '\0')
	|| (strlen(mailname) > 8) || (getpwnam(mailname)==NULL))
    {
	pass_entry = getpwuid(getuid());
	if (pass_entry != NULL)
	    mailname = pass_entry->pw_name;
    }

obviously, getlogin is succeeding, because LOGNAME is set correctly in
the at job. atrun.c does not do a setlogin. Should it?

Folks,

I'd like to apologize for the HTML in my previous messages ... and
possibly in this one as well. I'm using the beta of Netscape composer
and obviously don't know what I'm doing with it yet. I hadn't realized
that the default is to include the text of the message in HTML as well
as in plain text.

I'm trying to figure out how to turn this off!!!! Unfortunately I'm not
sure I found the right incantation yet. Sheesh! (Nice feature when the
receiver has it enabled, but not when they don't!

A similar problem occurs if you ``su'' and then attempt to
use at/batch.  I solved the problem for me with the following patch.
Did I break something?  Don't know, don't care, since it works for me.

Hi.

I have to install FreeBSD as a small router/proxy server for our customer,
what version is secure enough to use it?

Thanks, bye.

I am running Netscape 3.01 under FreeBSD 2.1.6-Release.  I am having
the following problem.  Netscape does not display Java applets.  I can
see the area on the screen where the applet should be, but the applet
does not appear.
	Java and Javascript are enabled under the Options/Network
Preferences/Languages menu and I get no errors from the Java console.
	I have double checked my environment variable paths (CLASSPATH,
XKEYSYMDB, XNLSPATH) and they are all correct, and the necessary files
are all in those specified directories.
	If anyone has any tips on anything I could do to solve this problem, I
would greatly appreciate it.


Thank you,

Jesse Troy

2.1.7 should be out any day now.  That is based on the 2.1.5 release, but 
with several bugs and security holes fixed, including the locale one that 
was generating so much talk recently.  Very stable, very secure.

Does anyone know if there is an adduser command anywhere that will create
the directory public_html? I did this before, but don't really want to
screw around with it again(Im not a programmer thats for sure!)]

To automatically create a public_html directory (and possibly a 
generic index.html file), just create them in /usr/share/skel/

Next time you add a user, it'll be there for him/her/it

Now why didnt I think of that? Thats too obvious I guess.. :) I went in
and edited adduser. Thats about the extend of my programming ability. Just
add a mkdir command and chown to change it to the right properties.

I don't know if this should be cc'd to -current, but I am having a problem
getting Quota's working on FreeBSD 2.2-970205-GAMMA. I did everything like
I did on 2.1.5. I added check_quotas=YES to /etc/sysconfig, 

options      QUOTA   in my kernel config file and added the following to

/etc/fstab :


/dev/wd0a              /     ufs rw,userquota,groupquota 1 2


Is there anything else I need to do?

One thing I noticed, when I compiled a kernel under 2.1.5, one of the
flags I saw was -DQUOTA. This isnt happening in 2.2-GAMMA.

thanks.

You have to compile your kernel with "options QUOTA" enabled.

I have 3.01 running on 2.1.5R and it seems to work for me.  I went to
gamelan and played the video poker card game just now.  What exactly are
the pathes you are using, and what do you have in them?

I did this. I even took it out to make sure it was compiling properly.
When I took it out, told me the kernel didnt have quota support. 

When I "edquota -u test" it shows the quota's, but if I type "quota -u
test" it says the user has no quota. :(

First these questions.

This CDROM is IDE compatible. Based on that...

thought it is compiled into the kernel.

BTW, lsdev will show that mcd0 exists but says not configured int the
status column. lsdev does not show device wcd0 at all.

I have trial and errored and even kernel paniced myself into submission
on this one. Oh yeah, I read all of the wrong documentation in search of
an answer. If you could point to the right docs that would be a great
help.

If these questions don't help me to get to my objective then I ask this
final question.

How the hell do I get this drive to work?

Thanks in advance

Note: If Java applets fail to display.  Type this as root:
		cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
		/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
		chmod 444 fonts.dir
      And then exit and restart your X server.

Nope.  The mcd driver is for the earlier, Mitsumi proprietary CD-ROMs
that came with their own controller card, like the FX-001D.  Your drive
should work just fine as an atapi/ide CD-ROM.

Because device mcd0 doesn't have *anything* to do with wdc1.  Try
wcd0 instead.

You didn't have a 'wcd0' in your lines above.  Check carefully.  If
you can't find a wcd0 line, use the one from LINT.

Right.  You configured an mcd0 but don't physically have one in the
system, and you have a wcd0 but didn't configure it into the kernel.
Rip out all of the mcd stuff, configure a wcd0, and reboot.  Happy
hunting!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello,
	I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to reconfigure a
kernal.  The scenario is I'm trying to set up Xfree86 to run with a PS/2
mouse.  The installation instructions say to lookup reconfiguring a
kernal in the handbook.  Well after reading all 400 title pages in the
handbook I am unable to locate the page describing how to reconfigure
the kernal.  I did find handbook page 32 describing the dev abbreviation
psm0.  The input "dev/pms0" was in the XF86Config file and the handbook
said to input "psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD"   conflicts tty irq 12  vector
psmintr" under the pointer section of the config file.
After typing the vi command ":wq" and starting xfree86 (xinit) the
system dumps a ton of information then stops stating the mouse device is
not enabled, underlining the psm0 command line previously described.
Am I reconfiguring the kernal correctly or are steps following the
changing of the config file that I am missing?
					Thanks in advance,
						Jeff

Will this work if I use windows 95.  I was wondering if I could use
windows95 while freebsd is on my machine.  Or could I install freebsd
while windows95 is on my machine.

You're better off doing the latter, because Windows 95 likes to overwrite
the master boot record when you install it, and then you have to reinstall
the boot manager before you can use FreeBSD again. 

See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html for details on
installation.
