I've also seen people > referring to bootp, but nobody says what bootp is exactly. Help. ISC-DHCP has a client (in the beta package) that works well with FreeBSD (the NetBSD client). It leaves a lot of temp files in /tmp (one for every lease timeout) but otherwise works fine. http://www.isc.org/ and look for DHCP What the DHCP client does is send a broadcast request to any server to learn its IP address, gateway, etc.. and then set them via ifconfig and arp Basically an advanced bootp client. It allows you to use a totally generic /etc in a LAN, or to pick up your address in things like cable inet access.

The ftp server often generates message "ftpd[______] : exiting on signal 11". I don't know the source of the problem. Moreover, when I login at the console more than 2 sessions, I cannot use command "man" because it always has error "cannot fork". This error isn't occured when I use telnet instead. However, even the "man" error message occured, I can create another login session from console without error. Therefore, I think it does not come from the memory or process table full. What should I do? Another error is come from fingerd, it is "fingerd[_____] : fork: Resource temporarily unavailable". I also don't know what I sould do. Than you for reading my mail. The following session describes about my configuration. If you need any more information, please feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

IP uses the network ID of an outbound packet to tell whether it should send the packet directly to the host or route it via another host. Essentially, if the destination network number matches the network number one of the machine interfaces, the IP code assumes the target machine is directly reachable. If you simply use numbers out of your class C for both LANs, when `mickey' attempts to send to `machine X', it'll find out that `machine X' has the same network number, and attempt to send the packet directly. When it gets no reply to its ARP query, `mickey' will inform you that the host is down (which, I believe, is the symptom you were seeing). For each machine on LAN 1 to be able to reach each machine on LAN 2, and vice versa, the LANs must be on different subnets. Plus, you have to treat the PPP connection as a third subet, one that connects the two gateways. There are a number of ways to go here. For example, you could use RFC 1918 address behind the gateways, and have the gateways do network address translation to map the "illegal" RFC 1918 numbers into your class C range. (This works fine, BTW; I use it at home.) Alternatively, you could use RFC 1918 numbers on only one LAN, and assign numbers out of your class C to the other LAN; in that case, you'd use RFC 1918 numbers on whatever LAN doesn't dial up to the ISP, just for simplicitly. Or, you could simply assign numbers out of your class C range to all machines on both networks. The latter case seems to be what you want. To do that, you're going to have to subnet your class C address space. Since you need three subnets, you must steal two bits from the host portion and assign it to the network portion. (You'll get four subets out of that deal, wasting one, but that can't be helped.) This means you'll use a netmask of 255.255.255.192 (0xffffffc0, or 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000 binary) for all hosts on all the subnets you control. That gives you four subnets, one for each combination of the two extra bits: STOLEN HOST FIRST LEGAL LAST LEGAL BITS VALUE IP ADDRESS IP ADDRESS -------------------------------------------------- 00 x.y.z.1 x.y.z.62 01 x.y.z.65 x.y.z.126 10 x.y.z.129 x.y.z.190 11 x.y.z.193 x.y.z.254 -------------------------------------------------- You lose a few addresses, because you can't have a 6-bit host portion consisting of all 0s or all 1s on any of the subnets. (A host portion of all 0s is reserved for machines on the subnet that don't know their IP numbers. A host portion of all 1s is the subnet's broadcast address.) But you're left with 62 possible hosts per subnet. Now map those network numbers to each subnet: LAN 1 (subnet 00) ------------------------------------------------------------------- | x.y.z.2 | x.y.z.1 | x.y.z.{3-62} mickey gatewaybsd other boxen | x.y.z.65 / \ \ PPP connection (subnet 01) / | x.y.z.66 remote server LAN 2 (subnet 10) | x.y.z.129 ------------------------------------------------------------------- | x.y.z.130 | x.y.x.{131-190} machine X more boxen Make sure that the netmasks on all machines are 255.255.255.192, so the various systems know how to route properly. When your remote server and `gatewaybsd' machine are connected, they should communicate just fine; just make sure you get the near-end and far-end of the respective PPP connections correct. When your `gatewaybsd' box dials up to the ISP, you'll need to ensure that the address assigned to the far end of the PPP link is either (a) on your `11' subnet or (b) is on a different class C network entirely. You'll probably need different configuration files to dial up the ISP versus dialing up your other network. This scenario should work just fine for you. It's a little annoying to subnet a class C, only because you're fiddling with a netmask that creeps into the last octet; that can make it difficult to remember which network a host maps to, when the numbers are expressed in decimal. You'll get used to that soon enough, though. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.

Sort of a bummer when it comes with lots and lots of software on it. A whole list of packages for the ports collection. Anyways, I played with and stuff with the packages, considering that I had to do a dos partition install, I just copied some select files from the cdrom over to c:\freebsd\packages\all\* Just stuff that I was sure that I wanted. When I did the install it found that I had a packages directory and tried to look for stuff anyways, it didn't work. I think only one acutally did work. Xchomp worked. (had to get something to play with *grin*) Sort of frustrating. Any ideas of why it didn't work? Could it be that it looked for long FreeBSD file names and not Dos file names, or package names. I don't know. Give me a hint to fix this problem and rig it to work. I thought about just copying the .tgz files over to the port collection directories and stuff and trying "make install". But that didn't work either. I think that that "Makefile" is looking for .tar.gz files and the other files are in .tgz format. I think that's what stops it from actually doing anything. I get an error message saying that the file was not found on the system. Where does it initially look? How can I get it to work? I thank you for any help.

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 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: 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.

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 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 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 did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I submitted several patches to the author which found its way into the distribution. I was too busy elsewhere when the beta of TNOS 2.30 was out, so its not a perfect clean compile right out of the box. Almost... I was going to put together a patch this afternoon, but didn't. FreeBSD's slattach won't attach to a pty, last time I tried it. Something to do with the pty not being as complete as a tty. Failed with in an ioctl for setting process group or some such. Linking TNOS's IP stack to FreeBSD's becomes more difficult than it should. I got a PPP link running once thru a pty. And didn't know how I did it afterwards to repeat. A pair of hardware serial ports with a null modem cable works. To get started with TNOS, subscribe to the mail lists at the above site. Download the Linux binaries, and possibly the sources. To get a running system you have to have the directory tree created by the Linux binary distribution, or you have to figure it out yourself. I haven't tried running the Linux binary of TNOS under FreeBSD. Until I ditched my non-FPU NexGen, I didn't have a system capable of running Linux emulation. About the only thing special you need to compile TNOS is gmake. Get it from ports or packages. Lately I've been using kermit for packet radio. 73, -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

It depends on your telnet or ssh client. For instance on a mac, NCSA Telnet 2.6 dosnt support colour, nor does NiftyTelnet. NCSA Telnet 2.7 and BetterTelnet both support colour.

To make it more confusing, the 90% mark can be changed with tunefs(8), so the designers chose to refer to whatever this mark is as 100%. Under normal circumstances, this means that root can pump the file system up to 111% of its nominal capacity. This is *bad*, especially on /usr, since no normal user can write to the disk any more. > The disk usage for /dos is right on target.

The OS itself (the kernel) is statically linked, but it does support and use loading and unloading subsystems at runtime (so called Loadable Kernel Modules). The apllications (user space executables) can be either statically or dynamically linked. Mixed mode linkage is, naturally, allowed (some libs static, some libs dynamic). Runtime library loading and unloading is also supported.

Only recently has discussion on the TNOS lists touched on running TNOS as someone other than root. :-( My copy of TNOS *never* ran as root. That's the good feature of SL/IP over pty. Considering the low low low bandwidth of amateur packet radio, its not even close to being a performance issue. The FreeBSD version of TNOS uses "install -c -g dialer -o tnos -m 2755" to install as user "tnos" setgid to "dialer" so it can uucp lock serial ports. > You may take a look at the WAMPES package, it doesn't have that much > features like TNOS but it's ok- it serves only as a ax.25/IP "router" for me > between the ax.25 packet radio network and FreeBSD's IP stack.

Well, depends- we're running several 76k8 backbones here, and with multiple links it's even wise to use 115k2 on the serial(kiss) port. But I think slip over pty may even handle this quite well, it's just a pain setting it up or explaining it to users ;-) > I played with WAMPES many years ago under Linux.

Hmm, WAMPES has sort of "tcpgate" where you can map TCP ports to the outside, like: start tcpgate 25 localhost:25 which makes the smtp port of the Unix side visible to the radio part, without real routing using tun/slip. Same works with http, nntp, etc. FTP-not, for obvious reasons, but you can solve this with wampes' builtin ftp-server, too. I dislike this "everything in one program" approach, too. Like netscape communicator.

Host adapter is connected with two 8 port TA modules (giving 16 RS ports). In current configuration there are two modems and one terminal connected, all devices at 19200 bps. I was interested in increasing modem speed rate, because Specialix booklet says that TA is capable of driving all ports at 19200 and some at 57600 maximun speed. And here is a problem: even one modem at 57600 was loosing characters ( in command mode for instance). All of it looked like flow control problems, but maybe someone knows the cure??? I thought that sicontrol utility can solve my problem, but what in hell are the reasonable boundaries of adjusting those 'throttle' params. And if they at all have something to do with flow control ??? My connection looks like: 2 2 X 3 3 4 4 X 5 5 7 - 7 8 - 8 6 6 X 20 20 Any suggestions appreciated, or simply say that 19200 is all.

But since it is a pain to interact with manually, I sugguest you pick up the xrsh-5.x package from ftp.x.org:/contrib. It uses xauth by default, although it does support xhost. xrsh is..., well, it's like rsh but for X. e.g. "xrsh remotehost" starts up an xterm running on remotehost with the DISPLAY variable automatically set. "xrsh remotehost xcdplayer" starts xcdplayer on remotehost using your local X server as the display. It has other nice feature like setting the name of your xterms to include the name of the host running it, so I use it as my primary manes of logging into remote hosts.

I have an open problem with the gnats database http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=4498 where my Iomega Zip 100 SCSI drive atached to my ProAudioStudio SCSI adapter is having data corruption problems. I have written to both the FreeBSD and LINUX authors of the ncr5830 code and have received no replies. I understand since few people actually using FreeBSD use such hardware, I am probably on my own for a fix. All I'm asking is some direction in finding good books to learn from in order to solve the problem myself. I have never written any kind of device driver, much less a driver for a SCSI device. I have fairly good C programming skills (ie, I can understand the logic flow of the ncr5830.c kernel code and understand the definitions and usage syntax of the data structures). But the code is otherwise meaningless to me since I have no idea about how the code interacts with the hardware (eg. what's "establising a nexus" mean?). I'm sure there are plenty of great books out there where a motivated person like myself can learn what he needs to know. I hope some kind soul can give me some focus. Understand that I would need the basics, yet I would also need enough practical focus, from whatever sources are suggested, to actually trouble-shoot and hack into some real code. Ideally, literature that might cover the ncr5830 would be great!! I understand this to be a well documented and understood device. Thanks in advance for any help!! JM ----------- > Jeffrey M.

Thw adapters I wrote drivers fro were all "intelligent" adapters so I never really got into the "NEXUS" stuff. Basically the nexus is a particular pairing of a client and a requestor, for an operation.. I never got much more into it than that.. I can suggest you visit the following ftp site: ftp://ftp.symbios.com/pub/standards/io/ where you will find the SCSI standard and many ther related things. While I can give comments on how the present SCSI system is written, that will soon be a thing of the past. The present SCSI system was good for its day, but time has marched on and Justin (CC'd) is writing a new system based on the SCSI-CAM standard. This should allow us to meke better use of 3rd party CAM modules. Never-teh-less, if you have specific questions about the UPPER layers of the current SCSI system, feel free to ask (I may not know the answer however). There was a massive set of changes that went into it a couple of years ago that obfuscated a lot of what's going on behind MACROs which I was not happy with, and some of the structures changed function with time, and are there-for misleadingly named. I started several times on documents on how it fitted together but never got past the introduction.

Good philosophy. :) [Problem: Root has no entry for PS1] >Root does not have a .bash_profile or bashrc You just answered your own question. :) What I personally do is make /root/.bashrc a symlink to /etc/profile, and put all of the things I want to maintain across "users" in /etc/profile. That way you limit the number of changes you have to make. You could just as easily make it a symlink to your personal .bash_profile. If you're not sure what a symlink is, man ln.

This isn't fair - the ISP is cheating :-( You could also try set login "TIMEOUT 3 assword:-MyLogin-assword: MyPassword" So that you just wait a few seconds and then fire the logon.... The only alternative is wild card matching. Feel free to send patches so that you can say set login -r ".. MyLogin assword: MyPassword" or set login -r "{ts1name>,ts2name#} MyLogin assword: MyPassword" where the first bits are regular expressions ;-) > thanks guys, > Carey Nairn > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Only if the store you purchase from will let you. :-) Many years ago I slapped a copy of Linux on a 486DX33 in the store before I would buy it. But if your question was, "Will FreeBSD work on a Pentium II?", can't say that I've tried it myself but know of absolutely no reason why it wouldn't. And I'm sure we'd hear lots of cries of anguish of P-II users on these lists if it didn't work. Something like the early AMD K6 cries of pain. Only gotcha re: Pentium-II I've heard of is the 512M RAM limit. Or is that a limit of 512M RAM that's cachable? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

The problem with the PTY is fixable. I submitted the fixes a couple years ago, but it's never been encorporated into the sources. I have the modified code and man page if anyone would like it.

There is a fetchmail-friends list for people who want to discuss fixes and improvements in fetchmail and help co-develop it.

We use QZHS WAN Card (by WAN AK Systems, Russia), It is ISA card and it provides up to 128K via V.35 and up to 64K via V.24. We have a custom device driver for it, which works for FreeBSD 2.1.5 and 2.2.1. Also there are special software, that integrate X.25 network into FreeBSD: 1) Special daemon that acts like rlogind - listen for incoming X.25 connections and bind them to ttyp pseudodevices. We use zModem, SLIP and PPP over such connection and they works fine. 2) program that works like 'socket' package - it create X.25 connection, and than bind it to stdin, stdout. 3) We also have RFC877 (IP over X.25) implementation...

Your boot message says BNC. How do you configure the interface? Do you set the link flags specifically? I don't see anything in the ifconfig output above. Check the link flags: -link0 Use the BNC port (default). link0 -link1 Use the AUI port. link0 link1 Use the UTP port. This would suggest that you should be showing LINK0 and LINK1 in the output above. > is broken--does this look consistent with that? And if so, do I > just cut it and reattach it? It's consistent, but it doesn't have to be the right answer. Your board could have got itself confused--I've seen this happen with the 3C509, and occasionally I have been able to fix it with the following sequence: # ifconfig ep0 down # ifconfig ep0 up This won't cost you much, and you can do it from where you are (assuming you haven't gone to bed yet).

Yes, of course it's the same thing. I tend to use the terms "BNC", "coax", or "RG58" for this, and "10-Base T" for UTP. Thus the confusion. > I don't do anything except what's in rc.conf: > > ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. > ifconfig_ep0="inet 36.33.0.163 netmask 255.255.0.0" > ifconfig_ppp0="inet 36.33.0.157 netmask 255.255.255.255" No, that's fine, it's my misunderstanding. >> This won't cost you much, and you can do it from where you are >> (assuming you haven't gone to bed yet). > > I tried it--it didn't change anything. Thanks for the quick > response. I think I will take my wire cutters to work tomorrow :) I still don't see why you need wire cutters. If this is coax, the two most likely causes are: 1. Somebody tripped over a cable somewhere and split the network into two non-functional halves. 2. Somebody removed a terminator. See if the other machines on the net work first. You may have a fair amount of debugging ahead of you.

HELP!!! Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am running Hylafax 4.0pl1 on FreeBSD 2.2.1 on a Pentium 200 with 128 Megs RAM. Sendmail is 8.8.5. Modems are seven Multitech Multimodems 2834ZDX on a Cy clades8Yo multiport serial card. I'm sending this to both the HylaFAX and FreeBSD lists to get input from both parties. I've got a high volume email to fax server set up that processes up to 2500 faxes a day. (1500 is typical.) It takes a while, but works through them. No other major apps are running on the system besides sending faxes. I got a number of the following messages today. ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/usr/local/bin/faxmail -d -n joe@202-224-6079" (expanded from: ) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Cannot fork 554 "|/usr/local/bin/faxmail -d -n joe@202-224-6079"... unknown mailer error 2 All of them had the error code 2 that says "Cannot fork" I've included some stats on the system to provide some clues to what might be happening. /etc/sendmail.cf had MaxDaemonChild and ConnectionRateThrottle commented out, so they are not limiting the number of fork children sendmail has. The kernel is compiled with "maxusers" as 40 giving me 656 processes. SO. What is happening? Which is it that cannot fork? faxmail? or sendmail? What you see here is the limit of my knowledge in this area! Can anyone suggest a fix?

I have a question about the pkg_add tool. I have added some packages from cdrom that I had copied to dos partition because my cdrom isn't supported. Anyways, the problem is that the packages are installed into /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/whatever. I believe that something such as shells should extract to /bin and other binaries should go to /usr/bin. Well, at least that's the way I'd like to extract. How can I change it so that when the packages are installed by using pkg_add the packages install into either /usr/bin or /bin, or whatevever approprite directory it should be? It's not only the binary, but other files get installed into /usr/local/share or whatever. I'd like it to go to /usr/share. Bascially, I'd like to keep most things in one place.

Go figure. That message is normal when creating disks; there's no primary partition table to read. I think this message has actually been disabled in -current because of the confusion it causes.

To fix this: 1. Delete the FreeBSD slice from DOS FDISK. 2. Create a small primary DOS partition on the disk. 3. Install FreeBSD, deleting the DOS primary slice in the fdisk editor. 4. Booteasy should now work. Do you actually have any OS's on your second disk? If not, then you don't need the boot manager.

You're running out of processes per child. Try rebuilding your kernel with the following options: options CHILD_MAX=128 options OPEN_MAX=128 You might try just rebooting too. I'd have to see a ps -ax to get a sense of what's going on. hylafax may be leaking memory or file descriptors. > The kernel is compiled with "maxusers" as 40 giving me 656 processes. That is somewhat loose; the above variables control this much more directly. Hm, there was one zombie process. You might want to keep track of those and make sure they don't get too numerous. A zombie process is one that's waiting for it's parent to recognize that it's dead. If big apps (like faxmail or anything fax related) is getting stuck, it doesn't release it's resources until it's postiviely dead. They're generally caused by programing errors related to not understanding the BSD process model.

I also don't know what I sould do. If you're running 2.2.2, the limits for your login are set too low in /etc/login.conf. Try bumping up the limits.

The more i reaseach, the more i seem to wonder if Canadian Residents can also use the USA_RESIDENT stuff without feeling guilty about it or having the Men in Black show up on their doorstep. Is it ok for me to generally consider USA_RESIDENT to mean US_OR_CA_RESIDENT? Or is it a package-by-package thing? The whole lifting of export restrictions between the US and Canada seems to be an odd, poorly documented thing, which is annoying since several of the US cryptology routines were developed by canadians in the first place. :( -Mit From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 30 12:29:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA15730 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 30 Sep 1997 12:29:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from andrsn.stanford.edu (root@andrsn.Stanford.EDU [36.33.0.163]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA15720 for ; Tue, 30 Sep 1997 12:29:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (andrsn@localhost.stanford.edu [127.0.0.1]) by andrsn.stanford.edu (8.8.7/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA02392; Tue, 30 Sep 1997 12:28:30 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 12:28:29 -0700 (PDT) From: Annelise Anderson To: Greg Lehey cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Network Connection Not Working In-Reply-To: <19970930181529.09285@lemis.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 30 Sep 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > > I still don't see why you need wire cutters.

This copyright does not seem to apply to Canada, so I always use the "international" (I find it more straightford to build) version of pgp. I peronsonally think that you'd want to set USA_RESIDENT to no, whenever possible, just because the build process is generally less complex. > -Mit Tom From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 30 14:56:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA24518 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 30 Sep 1997 14:56:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cyrus.watson.org (robert@AMALTHEA.RES.CMU.EDU [128.2.91.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA24511 for ; Tue, 30 Sep 1997 14:56:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (robert@localhost) by cyrus.watson.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA01810 for ; Tue, 30 Sep 1997 17:57:01 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 17:57:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Robert Watson Reply-To: Robert Watson To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Tar does not preserve sticky bit Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk tar -cvpf - /homec | tar -xvpf - Did not preserve the sticky bit on a tmp directory.

I know this stuff has been discussed before. Somehow, I'm afraid I'm too dense to get it. Apparently I need someone to hold my hand through this process.

No problems mounting the CD to /cdrom. Now my laptop. I boot with PAO-2.2-whatever. There's no indication of trouble with my setting up of slices etc. I do novice installation and: 1. Choose "Install over NFS" 2. Directory for distribution files = "tower.my.domain:/cdrom". 3. Choose PLIP using laplink cable. 4. Host = laptop.my.domain 5. Domain sets itself to my.domain 6. Gateway = 10.0.0.2 7. Nameserver I leave blank-- don't know what to put there. 8. Ditto for IP address. 9. In options to ifconfig I put 10.0.0.2 because instructions say I should put the remote address there. 10. Say OK With this I get that this interface can't be configured, so I try 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3 and 127.0.0.1 in the IP address. I always get either can't resolve hostname tower.my.domain 10.0.0.2 or error mounting tower:/cdrom no such directory. Anyway, HEEEEEEEELLLLPPPP! Thanks.

On really busy systems, a periodic reboot doesn't hurt. Unfortunately some resources don't get released properly and they just keep piling up until you run out of space. > The zombie processes have diappeared, by the time I went in to copy down > the ps -ax data.

The max is 64 or 128, it just sucks up more kernel memory if you increase the value.

When I try to use the W32 driver specfically for the ET6000 it almost works, except that when I move the mouse I get a 'painting' effect following the path of the mouse - sort of failing to refresh properly.

That's probably the problem. I'd guess that 'using password' means 'requiring password'. Have you tried to enter a password into the database?

Many of you nice people have sent me your /etc/printcap files and also your filters and for that I am very appreciative. One problem still remains. With all this help, I can very nicely print any text file but whenever I come upon a postscript file ie netscape or a xv picture and ghostscripts is invoked I get about 7 pages of ghostscript error messages and nothing else. I figured maybe my problem is with ghostscript so I started reading all the ghostscript docs to try and understand how these filters are made. If I switch to the ghostscript directory of examples and type: gs -sDEVICE=cdj550 tiger.ps -sOutPutFile=\|lpr ghostscript initializes and then I get a line that says showpage press return. If I hit the return key I get the gs prompt but nothing prints out. Am I doing something wrong with the syntax or is something wrong with my ghostscript.I thought by the examples I read that this should pipe this picture to the printer. I can display the tiger picture on my consule with the command gs tiger.ps but cannot get it to print out.

I don't know what you mean by this. 4.3BSD was introduced in 1987, and it's pretty much obsolete. If you want to find details, I'd recommend that you read "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System", by Sam Leffler, Kirk McKusick, Mike Karels and John Quarterman (Addison Wesley, ISBN 0-201-06196-1). On the other hand, if you want a modern BSD system, and you have the appropriate hardware, I'd recommend that you get hold of FreeBSD, which bases on 4.4BSD.

I'm having problems with one of my remote machines running 2.2.2-RELEASE that seems to "feel" like a SCSI bus problem. There isn't much I can do about it, since the machine is 2500 kilometers, and 3 provinces away :( So, right now, she is down, and will be for the next 10hrs or so...very bad for business :( Does anyone know of any way of doing a remote power cycle of a machine? Mainly, what I was thinking, was the ability to throw on some sort of device that I can either telnet to (we have a Sparc20 on location, so maybe a device hanging off a serial port from that?) or dialup into on the phone, that I can force the machine to reboot itself? Or maybe "terminate" the power and turn it back on again? Marc G.

Try this: /usr/local/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=djet500 -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r300 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile=- - I actually run this in a shell script that's invoked as the input filter on a special printer definition (I call it ``ps''). If you want to run this from the command line, put a ` | lpr' after it. Make sure that the default printer isn't doing any processing on the output; gs expects to have it's output go directly to the printer. This is for my DeskJet 500 too; you may need to change the device and may want to set other options. See /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/doc/devices.doc for more information.

This disk is formatted to MSDOS fs. when I try to commit changes in the install program the program tells me that it can't install probably because the distribution is missing on the chosen media.

Vorokov From: vel@twister.artelecom.ru Subject: Some FreeBSD bugs that not yet fixed. Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi friends ! I'm using FreeBSD about 2 year and I think that it's great and cool ! But I see some bugs in all FreeBSD versions since 2.1.0 1. When I insert floppy disk with BAD tracks in system areas, and then do "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt", the system sometimes hangs up. I still can switch between consoles, but all processes stops and I can't do anything. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work also, the only way to reboot is pressing RESET. 2. I installed FreeBSD from DOS portition, and I want to remove this partition after installation. I run "sysinstall" utility, enter "Disk Partition Editor", remove DOS partition and create new FreeBSD partition. Then I enter "Disk Label Editor", create slices I need and press "w" to write changes. Sysinstall utility says "segmentation fault, core dumped" at this point. I hope, these bugs will be fixed in official 3.0 version. Or, may be, they take place only on my machine ? I have 486DX4 machine with AMD CPU, 8Mbytes RAM, 1 GB Seagate HDD drive, 1.44 floppy drive, and standart VGA video card. Pre-thanx.

I don't know how relevant this is (I'm running 2.2.1-RELEASE), but I had problems with LyX that resulted in it core-dumping (I was compiling my own version rather than using the package). The problem turned out to be with the Xforms library - the interface had changed incompatibly: The version that came in the package was 0.86, with the following prototype that caused problems: extern int fl_show_question(const char *, int); The version that I used that worked was 0.81, with the following prototype: extern int fl_show_question(const char *, const char *, const char *); The fix involved forcing it to compile using the header and shared library for 0.81.

I have tried both the package and the port (both in FreeBSD-current). Basically, I am always getting "access denied" when accessing any database, as any user (even root). The MySQL faq (installed in /usr/local/share/doc/mysql) was less than helpful. In fact, it provided NO information to help me even get started fixing this problem. I had to go to the mysql tarball for that: the file INSTALL-BINARY in said tarball mentions a "mysql_install_db" script that is to be run if you wish to reset all of the databases and permissions to the default (which specify that root has access to everything). It says to remove all of the /var/db/mysql/mysql/*.{ISD,ISM} files then run the mysql_install_db script. I tried this several times, but it does not help. I still get "access denied" messages, such as: # try to access the "test" database [root@DonaldBurr:120 ~]# mysql test ERROR: Access denied # get root's access permissions on the test database [root@DonaldBurr:121 ~]# mysqlaccess root test mysqlaccess Version 1.2-3, 16 Jun 1997 By RUG-AIV, by Yves Carlier (Yves.Carlier@rug.ac.be) This software come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Kirchgartenstr. 43
Einhausen Germany 64683 2.2.2-RELEASE Hi! Above is the registration form i filled out during the freeBSD-installation process. Besides i have some questions, perhaps you can help me: 1. Whenever I login as 'root', i get the following message (example): OCT 1 09:22:13 myhost login: login_getclass: unknown class `root` What's wrong? When I tried to manipulate roots passwd entries with "chsh" i found an entry "Class". But that means nothing to me. What are reasonable values for Class? 2. As I run freeBSD2.2.2 on a 486 DX2-66 Box With 16 MB RAM and 405 HDD, I have not very mouch place for a comfortable installation. But I have a CD with a "LIVE FILE SYSTEM". Is there any supported solution to include this CD in the running system (ports, ...) ?

Now I only have vpo.c in /sys/i386/conf/files.i386, and there's some improvement. Now I only get the probe results for the 96MB Zip. fdisk still hangs though. Should I be using some of those flags in my kernel? I don't quite understand those. Thanks.

Can't find our manuals, so I don't have the manufacturer or contact info, but we've got several boxes called TeleBoot 450's, which control up to 5 devices each. The manufacturer does make a smaller device as well. Basically, you hook up the teleboot to a phone line, and plug the device(s) into the teleboot. You then call the line, enter a 4 digit security code, and a single digit of which device to power cycle. The Teleboot then turns of that socket for aproximately 10 seconds. Supposedly, you can cascade several TeleBoots on a single phone line, but we haven't done that yet.

The NETATALK kernel option is solely for netatalk, so if you are going to use CAP, don't bother enabling it. You do need to compile in some Berkeley Packet Filters to your kernel in order to use CAP. Add aline similar to ther following to your kernel config file pseudo-device bpfilter 16 After you reboot with the new kernel, you need to go into the /dev directory, and do a MAKEDEV for bpf0-bpf15. The best way to configure CAP, is to copy their example start-cap file to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cap.sh. Simply change the line that starts aarpd to include your ethernet card, and zone...for instance, the following line will enable CAP bound to a DEC20x board (le0) in the default zone *: .../aarpd "le0" "*" The next part of configuring CAP can me aquired by doing a man 8 AUFS. This will show you how to set CAP up on both the UNIX and Mac sides. I hope this helps. -Joe Clarke On Wed, 1 Oct 1997, Brandon Gillespie wrote: > The CAP package is nice, but, uhh, are there any docs on configuring it, > short of digging through the tons of CAP 'examples' and whatnot, which may > or may not be applicable? > > And what does the NETATALK option actually do?

However, works just like a bought one on IRQ 5 and 10 (and presumably IRQ <= 10). The diagnostic messages from CYCTEST could be a tad more explanatory. Anyhow, many thanks to Cyclades tech support, who although didn't fix the problem, actually took the time to respond to my emails and started an email dialog to try to resolve the issue. Unlike, Iomega tech support whom I have email many a time regarding my Jaz drive and didn't respond. Also unlike Adaptec tech support whom I emailed regarding my 2940UW who have sent me a very nice automated 'you are in the queue and will be ignored shortly'.

I'm not sure that this is a cxterm problem. You shouldn't press ^C in man; it could leave the terminal in an inappropriate state. Use 'q' instead.

This looks like a problem with ee. I'd suggest one of the Chinese editor ports. ee isn't exactly intended for enormous files.

It's more POWERFUL than Cxterm. Check out "ftp://miau.cs.ccu.edu.tw/chinese/unix/input/", also you need to use chinese system on communicator 4.03b, download "Xcin Anywhere" 3.0 version. "ftp://math.ntu.edu.tw/incomming/XA" Hope this helps, Doug.

You are on this mailing list because you expressed (even a fleeting) interest in this subject. To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail message to: freebsd-dlm-unsubscribe@primer.i-connect.net This list is dedicated to the review and discussion of Distributed Lock Managers. Since our initial implementation is on FreeBSD, it is the platform of choice for this discussion, at this time. Some ground rules: The DLM presented here today, is work in progress. Until it is stabilized, debugged and delivered, it is NOT intended for wide distribution. I am not an attorney, and do not intend to be one. Here is an explanation of what I mean, in regards to ownership and distribution of this package. * The source code is owned by myself and my Employer, Atlas Telecom of Portland, Oregun, USA. So is the binaries copyrights. * Until we finish debugging and release this code to the public, we ask that no porting to other platforms, incorporating into commercial products, or re-development takes place. * Official release of the product will happen when BOTH the following conditions occur: A. I say so; this will happen when I trust the code enough to put a critical application on it. B. The formal FreeBSD review is over and the code is accepted for inclusion in the standard source tree. If the FreeBSD organization rejects the code for reasons other than code quality, this will be viewed as acceptance in my eyes. * The purpose of these conditions is to make sure we are not bombarded by porting and quality issues before the product is released. We also want to make sure it is of utmost quality. * The two options to these conditions are : a) do not release the source, or b) do not release the DLM at all. We feel strongly that neither option is a good nor acceptable one. But, less acceptable is releasing of trashy, broken, ill-concieved or incomplete code. Any of you who wishes to review the code, compile it, test it. debug it, etc. is welcome. Please post all patches, suggestions, etc. to this list, or directly to me. IMPORTANT: Once matured and stabilized, the code WILL BE RELEASED. If it were not, I would not have made this version available. OK, What's Where? On ftp://primer.i-connect.net/crash you will find several files: dlm_X.Y.Z.patch: Includes all the modification to FreeBSD-3.0-current, as of the date of the file. This patch includes the DPT driver, as I am a lazy bum and hate managing patches. DLMdesign.{dvi,ps}: Describes the DLM, what it does and why. It is recommended that the uninitiated reads the design paper before attempting to read the sources. Please let us know what you think. Even if it is good. Especially if it is bad. --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 1 19:55:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA26345 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 1 Oct 1997 19:55:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ocala.cs.miami.edu (ocala.cs.miami.edu [129.171.34.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id TAA26334 for ; Wed, 1 Oct 1997 19:55:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ocala.cs.miami.edu by ocala.cs.miami.edu via SMTP (950413.SGI.8.6.12/940406.SGI) id WAA02640; Wed, 1 Oct 1997 22:52:54 -0400 Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 22:52:54 -0400 (EDT) From: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" Reply-To: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" To: Michael Richards <026809r@dragon.acadiau.ca> cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Secure Shell as a script In-Reply-To: <199710020049.VAA22050@dragon.acadiau.ca> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The only thing I would change, would be make the operative line: exec telnet -E gragon.acadiau.ca This will replace the sh proc with the telnet proc.

Well, it would help if you also put in the _ between ifconfig and ed0 in the last two lines: ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet A.B.C.140 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet A.B.C.141 netmask 255.255.255.255" ^ This one.

The other thing to always be careful of that your rc files match each other version wise.

There have been several widely publicized examples of Linux (what's that? :) ) being run in an "embedded system" type of setup, such as the hydroponics(?) experiment on the recent Space Shuttle mission. Another example, published in the most recent Linux Journal, is a project at some university somewhere (sorry, don't have the issue handy) that made a computer-controlled robotic car (RoboCar) for a robotics contest... All (or most) of these setups involve a "PC on a card" type unit (where an entire PC, CPU, ISA Bus, perhaps Ethernet card, etc. is shrunk to fit on one or several stacked, really small cards) and a solid-state (i.e. memory-based) IDE disk (company thnat makes it is called SanDisk?) Also, typically, these systems don't come "fully loaded" (i.e. only a reduced set of commands, a smaller kernel, etc.) is isntalled, and they usually don't go through a full boot process (init, getty, etc.).. basically they boot up and run just a specific program, etc. Anyway, has FreeBSD ever been used in such a setup? Is it possible? What modifications (if any) would have to be made? And, if this has been done with FreeBSD, what manufacturers' hardware was used (i.e. what hardware is compatible?)

A good place to start is the Motif main homepage: http://www.opengroup.org/tech/desktop/motif/ Kenton Lee (who appears regularly in newsgroups on X) has a very good website on Motif. http://www.rahul.net/kenton/GettingMotif.html But you are probably looking for a free alternative. There is lesstif which provides some level of Motif-compatibility. Look in the ports: /usr/ports/x11/lesstif More information on lesstif can be found at http://www.lesstif.org/ Mark On Thu, 2 Oct 1997, Bond, Jeffery wrote: > Hi folks, > > Does anybody know if any Motif (or Motif-like) libraries and include > files are available for FreeBSD, and if so, where can I get them? > Specifically, I'm after the includes from /usr/X11R6/include/Xm/ and > libXm.so.* > > Help much appreciated, Mark Andres E-mail: coyote@ratbert.aisol.net / 100% Microsoft Free thanks to NetBSD and FreeBSD! \ Mac Centris 650: NetBSD 1.2-current IBM ThinkPad 220: FreeBSD 3.0-current Macintosh IIcx: NetBSD 1.2.1 | http://bullwinkle.aisol.net/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 2 05:42:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA23124 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 2 Oct 1997 05:42:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay.ucb.crimea.ua (relay.ucb.crimea.ua [194.93.177.113]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id FAA23072 for ; Thu, 2 Oct 1997 05:40:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from ru@localhost) by relay.ucb.crimea.ua (8.8.7/8.8.7) id PAA21208; Thu, 2 Oct 1997 15:38:18 +0300 (EEST) From: Ruslan Ermilov Message-Id: <199710021238.PAA21208@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <3433FB5E.1B1F@gdbank.smb.mv.ru> from "Frantzuzov S.G." at "Oct 2, 97 03:51:58 pm" To: fsg@gdbank.smb.mv.ru Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 15:38:18 +0300 (EEST) Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-My-Interests: Unix,Oracle,Networking X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Once Frantzuzov S.G. wrote: > I installed FreeBSD 2.2.1 and have a problem: > 1) I can't work with PS/2 mouse on Asustek P55T2P4 motherboard, > but in DOS and OS/2 - mouse work.

However I don't think that long file names are supported when writting to the dos drive, I think it appends it? Then you can tape-back-up what ever data you need to move. Or you can add PnP support to your kernel, but it's probably easier to just buy $40 Non-PnP ethernet card. Or you may be able to dis-able PnP on the 3com card, and hard set it to an open I/O and IRQ..... Later Jeffrey A.

This makes the psm0 device disabled, but still compiled in. You need to type ``-c'' at the Boot: prompt to get to the configuration system, then re-enable the psm0 device.

Of course, some of the devices (for example, a SCSI adapter and two PCMCIA slots) appear and disappear when the machine docks and undocks, and I don't know if FreeBSD can handle this. Has anyone tried it? I've put in a query about doing a driver for the MWave modem. But in the meantime, I'm looking for a workaround that will get the modem to work right away. Is it possible to load the DOS driver by booting DOS first and then starting FreeBSD from AUTOEXEC.BAT? I've never done a two-stage boot, but if this would be a workaround I'd like to try it. --Brett At 07:57 AM 10/2/97 +0000, Michael G. wrote: >> I'm looking at putting FreeBSD on a ThinkPad 760E with an MWave internal >> modem.

Yes, I know this is extremely slow. The thing is, it seems like wu-ftp and apache are very responsive to outside connections. The problem is that telnet is very slow coming in or going out. Connections are from/to Red Hat Linux, Digital Unix, VMS and NT. I really don't expect high performance because of obvious things like crappy old phone lines etc. There does seem to be some disparity, however, between the performance of telnet as opposed to ftp and http all things condidered. I can live with some key lag, but I often have to wait five or more seconds for any response at the other end. I have disabled tcp_extensions which is about the only piece of advice I could find in the mailing lists, and network traffic to my machine is pretty much null. _Any_ advice on what else to do about this will be appreciated even if it's "you can't do anything" or "get a better connection". If, however, there is a configuration trick or two that I'm ignorant of, this is even better :) - Just give me a hint on where to start looking.

Since FBSD does not have native thread support (in 2.2), you end up using MIT pthreads. For whatever reason, this means that all connections must come from a TCP/IP socket rather than a "file system" socket (sorry for the misnomer). In the end, this means you must connect like so: mysql -h your.machine.com mysql as root, and it will let you in. It took me some time to dig this up, as it's strictly a FreeBSD issue. For whatever reason, "localhost" will not work, you have to use the full name of the machine. In mysql speak, I believe localhost tells it to connect to the (nonexistent) unix socket.

Where did you get ircII from? If you downloaded it as a FreeBSD package from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2/net/ircii-2.9.tgz, you should run ``pkg_add ircii-2.9.tgz'' to install it.

My machine's ethernet IP is IP1, I made two aliases to this IP which we'll call IP2 and IP3. IP2 is for a virtual web server and IP3 is for my FTP server. So I don't want apache to answer on IP3. I used the Listen option in httpd.conf (Listen IP1:80 Listen IP2:80) and then did a little killall -HUP httpd to restart apache. It worked fine. Apache was answering only to IP1 and IP2... I then rebooted my machine, apache didn't start! :( My IP aliases are set in /etc/rc.local and apache is started from a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ which is set in /etc/rc.conf... I'm sure that the problem is not with the script that start apache in itself cause I tried to reconfigure apache as it was before and reboot my machine and apache started fine. And the problem is not with the configuration of apache itself cause when I execute apache after the boot process it work fine with the Listen options I mentioned earlier. I think the problem could be that my IP aliases are not yet set when apache try to start. So apache can't bind the tow IP cause they're not there... So apache can't start. Could it be the problem? If not, what could it be? If yes, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!

The problem usually lies with improper geometry on the install disk. To fix this: 1. Use DOS Fdisk and delete the partition. Create a small DOS primary partition on the same disk. 2. Install FreeBSD, removing the DOS partition you created in the fdisk editor in Install. 3. booteasy should work once you get done.

The drives are all new and exhibit similar problems with different brands. I have checked the BIOS to be sure that the power management has been disabled. The machine crashes from time to time and in the process, corrupts directories and files on the CCD filesystem. Has anyone else had any similar experiences with this type of config? I am wanting to use this for a news server. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Thanx. Yes, but it involves splitting your Windows partition to make room for FreeBSD or buy another disk. If your Windows machine is on FAT16 (ie, not Win95 OSR2) then you can use FIPS; otherwise you'll have to buy Partition Magic.

Crontabs can be created by users (including the user root) in /var/cron/tabs, if they're allowed to do so. It's not a good idea to use the system's crontab in /etc as a template unless you comment everything out and note the differences in format between the /etc/crontab file and the crontabs for users. Users should use the crontab command for editing their crontabs. The file /etc/crontab should be edited with a text editor. There are two crontab man pages and one cron man page; in sum they explain the whole thing.

I'd still recommend the Walnut Creek CD-ROM. There are several reasons for this: 1. It's put together by the FreeBSD team. The Infomagic one isn't. 2. Walnut Creek provides significant financial support for the FreeBSD project. Infomagic doesn't. 3. The Infomagic CD-ROM appears to be a single CD-ROM. The Walnut Creek edition includes two CD-ROMs for FreeBSD alone, and they're planning more for the following editions. Guess where you get more.

The one it is mentioning is probably this network board: # ar: Arnet SYNC/570i hdlc sync 2/4 port V.35/X.21 serial driver (requires sppp) Which isn't what you have, I assume.

In Step #2 you use a hostname, but in #7 you leave nameserver blank. Your laptop has no way of knowing who ``tower.my.domain'' is and has no way of finding out. Solution: run named on your tower and set up a primary domain for your 10.x.x.x net. This way the laptop can grab the name for tower. OR, give the IP address for the remote host, i.e. `10.0.0.2:/cdrom'. The named solution is probably the better way to go. 2. In step #8 you leave the IP address for the local machine blank. You know this -- it's 10.0.0.3, aka laptop.my.domain. To ifconfig properly the IP address is _required_. Solution: Punch in 10.0.0.3 for the IP address.

Where can I locate it? This depends on what you mean. If you just want to netboot, yes, it's in /usr/mdec. But if you want to actually have an embedded system, you'll have to contact the embedded mailing list freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org (or something like that).

If you have a keyboard lock switch on your case, use it. It really does work under FreeBSD, assuming you've installed it properly. :-) 2. Take away the keyboards. 3. Take away the displays and the keyboards. 4. Disable the vty's in /etc/ttys. But you won't be able to log in by the console either once the system finishes booting. But this is what serial consoles are for. :-) Hope this helps. Note that once someone gains access to the system case, then there's always and boot -s.

I am continuing my battle to install -CURRENT on a 1.6Gb IDE Western Digital Drive. I have tried installing via FTP a number of times and ran into wd0: soft error and wd0: hard error's. The recommendations from my first post indicated that I had some bad blocks on the drive. I tried to do a bad block/low level format of the drive but my bios did not support this. I downloaded a util from WD to lowlevel the drive and gave it a shot. Again installation failed. I switched to a brand new, ultra modern motherboard and ran the bios lowlevel/bad block marking routine. Both the WD and BIOS utils find no bad blocks. Again installation fails. So I gave it one last shot and selected bad block scan from the FreeBSD FDISK screen. The scan found roughly 9 bad sectors and then started picking out bad blocks. This became rather tedious so I left the room and came back to find that bad144 had found too many bad blocks and was exiting. The strange thing is that both dos and windows installs and operates on the drive without any problems. Is there anything anyone can suggest? I am really stumped with this one! I suppose returning the drive would be a good idea, but the shop has gone under.

Weird... A search of the mailing list archives (and by consequence my past responses :-) ) turns up some interesting info. The RTM_LOSING message comes from the TCP stack when the retransmit timer kicks in. It sends out a message that thinks that the net may be partitioned. But if no gateway is specified, then the message is moot. Routed can understand these and will make a notation if a faulty RTM_LOSING comes through. They can be safely ignored. But if it is really bugging you and you have a static routing system (send everything to this router), then define the default gateway and disable routed in /etc/rc.conf.

Well, that's what logic would dictate, but logic and the CVS tree don't always mesh. :-) It's an outdated file, for EXAMPLE use only. If you look at it you'll see a 2_1_0_RELEASE tag, which doesn't fetch 2.2-STABLE. 2_2_STABLE does, surprisingly. :) It was fixed September 3, 1997.

The ports should work fine, since they fetch their distfiles from the main site if they aren't in /usr/ports/distfiles.

Unfortunately, that kinda breaks our carefully crafted hier(7). Stuff in /bin needs to be statically linked, which the packages aren't. In addition, local updates and changes land in /usr/local/* so you can easily separate them from provided-with-system binaries and such.

The package has been pre-wired with a packing list (PLIST) and the tar archive built with the proper paths. I suppose you could extract and re-tar the archive as you wanted, but that is a lot of work for what is a stylistic change.

They recently became available by mail order from PC Connection; I'm probing my local DEC dealer to see if they can beat the price. The PAO group has one floating around in their midst, so it should work. The top end unit, the HiNote VP 575, with a P166MMX, 16MB RAM, 2.1GB hard drive, TFT, and CD/floppy unit, is about $3400.

First, are you sure that it's not the other end? Since you've tried multiple systems, it probably isn't. Next, find out what's going on. Use tcpdump to watch the packets going across and back. You should see something like this, which is a telnet session between the systems freebie and yana: # tcpdump host yana tcpdump: listening on ep0 Make sure you get the correct interface.

Possibilities are: 1. There will be a much longer delay on the echo than the 250 ms that you'd expect from the speed of the link. 1 second is definitely too long, for example. 2. More likely, you'll see TCP retrying. You'll see the same sequence numbers going across, for example the "P 348:349" in the first packet of the triplet, or the "P 933:934" in the reply from yana. This is an indication that something isn't getting through. 3. Possibly you'll see something else. I'm currently writing a chapter about network debugging for the second edition of "The Complete FreeBSD", so if you have an interesting one, and you're willing, I'd like to include it in the book.

Do I need to rebuild my kernel - just to use a PS/2 mouse? No, in newer systems it's compiled in but just disabled. If you type `-c' at the boot: prompt and look in the Disabled Devices section, it should be there. Also check /etc/XF86Config and make sure it's set to point at /dev/psm0 and that it's using protocol "PS/2". > Q4.

If it's interfaced by the IDE interface, then FreeBSD 2.1.5 and later can read it fine; if it's on Sony's proprietary interface, then you should be able to mutilate scd0 appropriately on FreeBSD versions all the way back.

If the NetWare netboot ROMs support booting from a TFTP host and getting configuration data by BOOTP, then you can set up your FreeBSD server as a TFTP and BOOTP server and serve them their boot images and addresses.

(if any that is) No. The FreeBSD filesystem is structured to avoid fragmentation, unlike the DOS FAT which is really bad about it. Just don't let your disk get too full or the files will fragment pretty badly. The only way to fix a really badly fragmented disk is to back it up, remove everything, then restore. > Also what is this top command Ive seen mentioned here? Top is a system monitoring utility.

Some systems don't reboot properly for whatever reason. If the Syncing disks... item goes to ``done'' then you should be synced out. Try compiling a kernel with options BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET and see if that helps. For your fsck problems, I don't know what to say; try using ``halt'' instead of reboot. When you come back up, fsck should fix up those dirty bits if needed, you shouldn't need to run fsck manually.

I need to carefully tune and analyze timing and perfromance statistics. Mainly to identify why some rotines in the DLM take so much time. I am looking for ideas on how to measure the behavior of code, take time measurements, count events, etc. without consuming so much time. For example, when measuring time, I have the following strategy: In the dlm_lock_t structure, I have typedef struct dlm_lock } ... struct timeval start_time, stop_time; } dlm_lock_t Then, I have the function: static INLINE void dlm_debug_times(dlm_lock_t *lock, int line) { microtime(&lock->stop_time); printf("So far (%d) %d\n", line, time_delta(lock->start_time, lock->stop_time)); } ... Then, when I want to time sone code I do static int some_function(dlm_lock_t *lock, ...) { ... microtime(&lock->start_time); ... /* Before a certain block of code */ dlm_debug_times(lock, __LINE__); ... /* Some code to be timed */ ... dlm_debug_times(lock, __LINE__); ... } Is there a better way to do that? In this context, better means a way to impact the performance of the system to a lesser degree. I have a sneaking suspicion that the above mechnism takes a lot of time, thus upsetting the code being timed. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

One suggestion would be to write `event logs' like this to a memory buffer with periodic flushing to disk file. A userland tool would later reconstruct the sequence of events that occurred in the kernel from the log. Such a tool could also bring out to light "interesting interactions". The process of writing an event log can be made reasonably cheap: writing out some 4 words of memory and a pointer increment. There would be some overhead from the periodic flushing of the log to permanent storage, but for large log size, this overhead could be amortized over many log entries. Take a look at: Sharon E. Perl and Richard L. Sites, "Studies of Windows NT Performance using Dynamic Execution Traces" ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/SRC/research-reports/SRC-146.ps.gz for this approach taken to the extreme. Standard kernel profiling gives you statistical information on objects like functions (-p) or basic blocks (-a), but cannot capture timing and latency interactions. Event logs can capture timing/latency issues very well.

The instructions say to copy to disk all the files in the "bin (binary distribution) directory". My question is do they mean all the files in all the folders of release /2.1.7.1/, or all the files in the subdirectory /2.1.7.1/bin/? Right now I have all the /2.1.7.1/bin/ files and a boot disk imaged. In re-reading everything I wonder if I have only copied a small amount of all the files I will need. It is my understanding that this type of install (floppies) is my only option. The software is going to be loaded on a 386, 20Hz, SX, that has 720mg hard drive, 5 1/4" & 3 1/2" floppy drives, and external modem, with DOS and Telix installed. Are there install options I am unaware of to complete this install on this machine?

I'm using the sco console driver (sc0) in the kernel and I set TERM to vt100/vt102/vt220 and probably about anything vtXXX related. By the way, here's one of my lines for my virtual terminal in /etc/ttys ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure I've tried to change cons25 to one of the many vtXXX related termcap entries and even pcvt50 (saw in archives). Ok...enough background... Here's my problem. When I try to telnet to a DEC server, I consistently get "unknown terminal type". Even though TERM is equal to let's say vt100. Now the strange thing is, when I come from a Linux system, through my FreeBSD system and then to the DEC it works fine, regardless of which TERM I use. (as long as it isn't cons25) Is there a way to fix this? I need to go between all three systems easily. Any more suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Also if you need more info on my setup, let me know.

You are not a minority. The count runs 8:2 in line with your message. I KNOW the FreeBSD community is not like that. I think people have a deep need to march to some flag.

I have no clue. The review process, especially for ``outside'' contribution is complex and lengthly. The concepts and services presented by the DLM are new. I am offering it. Will they accept it? Dunno. > 2-I didn't understand what Spldlm was... I must admit that > I don't know what "spl" stands for? (guess: ... priority level?) The way Unix kernels manage `critical sections'' (A section of code you do not want interrupted. More accurately, a section of code you want to run without danger of being preempted by someone else who will run it again and clobber you). SPL Stands for Software Priority Level. IN the traditional Unix, this is an ordered list of priorities. For example, splclock is higher than spltty, which is higher than splbio. What that means is that if a clock interrupt occurs, it will preempt the keyboard, which can preempt the disk (bio = Block I/O). The problem with that is that a code that executes in spltty can write ober variables that use splbio to protect themselves. In FreeBSD these are simply bitmasks; If I am in splbio, nobody else can be. Period. The spldlm, for example, is a mask of a unique dlm bit and the clock bit. This means that only the clock and the dlm will be locked out, and if the clock is running, the dlm will wait. The reason we created a whole new level (a paractice normally frawned upon by kernel types), is that the DLM needs to run for just about any priority level in the kernel, and may be called from or use networking, SCSI, VM (distributed shared memory), etc. > 3-Do you have links to some information about DBFS?

We need to discuss this a bit; Since the locks are cumulative, how do we date a lock? Say, we #define READ_LOCK 1 #define CONTROL_LOCK (1 << 1) #define READ_CONFLICT (1 << 1) ... What we say is that READ operations only conflict with CONTROL operations. This allows multiple clients to apply for a read lock. What will happen is that state_ref_count will increment with every request. How do we define the lock's age? From creation time? From the last request? I really do not have an opinion :-) Also, if we choose creation time as its age determinator, is it OK to reset creation time every time a ref_count goes down to zero? Should we have a timestamp on every bit? Or maybe only on the lock as a whole? If we reach an agreement, I will add it to the lock code. It is a good thing to have. > 4-Technical: If a remote lock is asked for, and a timeout occurs > during the dlm-dlm transfert, but a lock is effectively granted on > the remote host... is the lock lost? (the resquesting process will > not know it has acquired the lock...) What happens is this: If a lock has both a local and a remote leg, timeouts are not used. I.e. I do not start the remote leg until the local lock is ackuired. The remote side does not ue timeouts on remote (to him) requests. So, a shared lock first acquires a local lock. If it fails, if fails. Oce the local is acquired, we ask for the remote part. The remote is obliged to serve the request immediately. If that fails, we unlock the local leg and return failure. Now adding ``leased locks'' will complicate this a bit.

It is not an issue of ``not enough'' but rather of ``too much''. I need a light-weight mechanism that can stay there.

No, not if you do it right - you just boot the floppy, start an emergency holographic shell, mount the HD, and copy sysinstall from the floppy. This doesn't mess with anything.

I don't remeber the boot message when I booted without the disk, but fdisk still hung. I did not get "medium not present". I've since built a kernel with ppa3. I'm having better luck with that. Of four disks, I was able to fdisk all of them, mount and ls 2 of them (the other 2 I could apparently mount, but they showed nothing on ls and I know there's stuff there) and copied some stuff from one to my hard drive. These were all msdos formatted. I couldn't disklabel any of them. Something about no available space. Anyway thanks for all the help. I'm willing to keep trying with ppbus, if you have any other ideas.

The fact is, stty is talking to a pty, which doesn't transmit data serially, so there is nowhere for the bit rate to be applied. In any case, the pty runs only locally. You might just as well set the bit rate on a console window or an xterm. In general, people: if you have a suspicion that a problem may be due to something you have discovered, and you're not deep gurus in the area, check the details before you broadcast it to the world. It can save embarrassment.

(See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html 2.2.3. Before installing from a MS-DOS partition) You will probably want to include in an install: /doc/* (Handbook, FAQ, and papers) /manpages/* (manual pages) /src/ssys.* (kernel sources) Hope this helped. -- =| Regards, =| FreeBSD ==> http://www.FreeBSD.org =| Kevin G.

My local office has a direct Internet conexion, and the remote office gets access to the Internet too across my local office. In my local office I have a class C network and in the remote office I have a 30 hosts subnet (255.255.255.224). The problem is this: If I access WEB, MAIL, Telnet or FTP services into my FreeBSD server from Internet or from my local office everything works fine, but if I try to access the same services from my remote office the response is very slow, if I try to open a telnet session from my remote office it takes up to 5 minutes to holding to get the connection, if I try to send e-mail I have to retry several times to contact the server (once the server is contacted everything looks fine), i was checking routing, processes in the Server, performance, cpu utilization, memory and everything is OK. I will appreciate any help to solve this problems. Thanks, Roberto Abarca ______________________________ Optel Telecomunicaciones S.A. de C.V. Sierra Santa Rosa # 61 Col.

I really do not have an opinion :-) Well the more I think about this, the more I realize that leased locks can't be enforced by the dlm. We must keep in mind that the whole locking mechanism is "cooperative", the processes are voluntarily using this concurrency mechanism (the resources themselves are never physically unavailable, so if a process really wanted to access a resource, it could at any time). If we had leased locks in the dlm, the dlm would have to inform the lock owner that one/many locks have expired. This isn't very practical since it's an asynchronous event sent from the kernel to kernel/userspace. Also, it would involve very sensitive time synchronizations between local and remote hosts. From what I read on this subject, this ain't pretty. I think the right way is to have the lock owner willingly enforce the lease time by themselves. This way, the dlm stays simple & elegant and only the dlm clients that want leased locking are penalized by the added complexity (and there is no asynchronous events ("push") between the dlm and its clients). A client that receives a lock can place it's own timestamp on it and release it when an arbitrary time as passed. This is in line with the spirit of "cooperative" concurrency. So next time I'll ask about a new feature, I'll think about its implications first ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 3 23:36:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA01130 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 3 Oct 1997 23:36:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from platynum.dynip.com (platypus@pm088-11.dialip.mich.net [198.110.68.146]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA29802 for ; Fri, 3 Oct 1997 20:27:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (platypus@localhost) by platynum.dynip.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA02245; Fri, 3 Oct 1997 23:25:44 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: platynum.dynip.com: platypus owned process doing -bs Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 23:25:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Jason Fuller X-Sender: platypus@platynum.dynip.com To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Question about my network server/gateway...

I cleaned up few things and threw out the timong and debug (#ifdefed out). Here are some exciting timing information. These were all done on a fully populated (4096 8bit locks) channel. The test is very simple; Apply the same lock 1million times. Since we do not cache anything, these should be realistic. Times were derived from getrusage and the internal metrics collection in the driver. All times are in microseconds. Test 1. Search for a lock by lock ID. No Conflict. Lock: User = 1.289, System = 11.376, Total = 12.665 Unlock: User = -1 (?) System = 0.129, Total = 0.129 Test 2. Search for a lock by key value in the index. No conflict. Lock: User = 1.110, System = 11.637, Total = 12.747 Unlock: User = -1 (?) System = 0.129, Total = 0.129 Aftere these were done, the dump from the driver's metrics indicated: Create: Fastest = 21, Slowest = 531 Lock: Fastest = 3, Slowest = 534 Unlock: Fastest = 3, Slowest = 45 Analysis of the numbers reveals that they are correct; They tie together exactly. This removes several questions, for the time being; The binary tree logic is fast enough. It actually is a bit faster than dereferencing the array index used by resolving the lock ID. How about removing the lock ID logic, then? It is inherently dangerous. This will save us several nested if statements. We had a big performance problem. It disapears when we turn of the kernel option DLM_DEBUG. How about #ifdef`ing the metrics? We may shave few microseconds as the code is quite invasive. DLMCTL News: I added the -t option. It allows you to run the loop test used for this test.

So, I upgraded my video card so I could use 32 bpp rather than 16, tested Netscape (3.0.?) on some applets, all but two of the jkd 1.0.2 demo apps worked fine. So, then I installed the native JDK from http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/javaport.html. I played around with the environment, but never got farther than Illegal instruction - core dumped regardless of what I was attemping, even compiling the demos. So, I decided to try kaffe. the 0.8.4 port compiled cleanly, and downloaded the jdk for the classes.zip file, and approved of its checksum. But, it's giving me the exact same results. I went through the archives, but the only time that this error occured with kaffe was when the newer version of the jdk classes.zip was installed, and I let the kaffe port install the one it wanted. At this time, I'm going to strip out everything javalike that I can find, uninstall all of the above, and start over with a hopefully fresh install. This is on a PPro 150, 64Meg of ram, FreeBSD 2.2.2 with 2.1 compatibility package, XFree 3.3.1, and a Diamond Stealth Video 64 3000, running 1024x768, 32bpp. So, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong that has messed up everything java except Netscape?

And if there is no such way, is it possible to uninstall some ports package? and is there anyway to install ports packages from the cdrom?

Thanks. Check through the /etc/aliases file to make sure there's no loops being created. Second, make sure that the mail is being sent to the right pace as far as the DNS is concerned. You could also try telnet'ing to port 25 of your machine, and type this: helo (your hostname) expn root this'll tell you where the root mail is going; that's a quick way to check on how things are routing. Can't tell you much more without a little more info; where is this error popping up, and can you think of any common factor amoung when it pops up?

Hopefully you will be able to help me. First, I can't mount my linux partition from FreeBSD. Everytime I do: mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd0s1 /mnt I get, : mount: ext2fs filesystem unsupported or something along those lines. I have the book "The complete FreeBSD" distributed by walnut creek cdrom. But it says nothing what so ever bout this. How do I add ext2fs support into my kernel? And, I know I shouldn't ask you this next question, but, you never know. I have the same problem with linux. I can't mount my BSD partition from linux. what would the fs type be? And how can I add support for the fs type? And, problem number 2. I have a Iomega Zip drive (Paralelle SCSI). It is very simple to get it working in Linux. But I haven't the slightest idea how to even get FreeBSD to know it exists. How can I make FreeBSD notice it? Problem number 3. I am on a regular analog line. 56k motorola modem surfr. Once again, getting ppp to work in linux is very simple. I can get FreeBSD to dial out using pppd and connect. It will assign me a dynamic IP and everything. Except, the only problem is, whenever I try to connect to a remote host or do anything other then connect to localhost, I get "unknown host". I've tried everything I know of. I have edited /etc/resolv.conf to the correct NS's and a few other things. But everything I seem to do doesn't work. Any ideas of what can be wrong? I know these may seem like lame questions. But I am very new to FreeBSD. I have been with linux for quiet a while and kinda got used to it.
