The files in /stand are actually just one file with multiple directory entries, so they consume a total of just 1MB. The problem is likely that /tmp or /var is on the root filesystem and is filled up. Check both, especially /var/log and /var/tmp. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 14 06:59:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA12311 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 06:59:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from smtp2.xs4all.nl (smtp2.xs4all.nl [194.109.6.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA12304 for ; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 06:59:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from immortal@xs4all.nl) Received: from xs2.xs4all.nl (immortal@xs2.xs4all.nl [194.109.6.43]) by smtp2.xs4all.nl (8.8.6/XS4ALL) with ESMTP id PAA12935 for ; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 15:59:54 +0100 (CET) Received: from localhost (immortal@localhost) by xs2.xs4all.nl (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id PAA00350 for ; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 15:59:53 +0100 (MET) Date: Sun, 14 Dec 1997 15:59:52 +0100 (MET) From: Paul van Berlo To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: FreeBSD 2.2.5 install and missing handbook..

I'm having some trouble getting my /etc/exports right. I am trying to do something like the following: /exports/home -network X -mask Y -maproot=root /exports/src -network X -mask Y -mapall=nobody -ro The first one works just fine; the second doesn't work at all (with a very unhelpful error message :-) If I get rid of the first one, the second will work. If I change -network X -mask Y in the second to something else, both the exports lines will work. Through some other tinkering around, it looks like it only lets you have 1 exports line for a given host (or -network -mask combination). Am I just doing something wrong, or is mountd very broken? Also, I rebooted my NFS server this morning, and none of my mounts came back up when the box came back up. That wasn't quite what I wanted; I had hoped that the mounts would just be unaccessible, and would come back up later. I went on to each of the boxes to remount the drive, and found that the mount had literally disappeared. The system still thought the drive was mounted, but it wasn't listed in df. I couldn't unmount it, and I couldn't remount it... All of the clients had the disk mounted like: piano:/exports/home /home nfs rw,intr,soft 0 0 Was that not an appropriate set of mount options? Thanks.

It's probably in the Emacs INFO stuff somewhere. There are 3 variables you want to look at. From the Emacs info file about backup: The choice of renaming or copying is controlled by three variables. Renaming is the default choice. If the variable `backup-by-copying' is non-`nil', copying is used. Otherwise, if the variable `backup-by-copying-when-linked' is non-`nil', then copying is used for files that have multiple names, but renaming may still used when the file being edited has only one name. If the variable `backup-by-copying-when-mismatch' is non-`nil', then copying is used if renaming would cause the file's owner or group to change. -- Kevin From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 14 12:30:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA07424 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 12:30:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de (ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de [134.147.6.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA07419 for ; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 12:30:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from roberte@ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de) Received: (from roberte@localhost) by ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de (8.8.5/8.8.4) id VAA05555 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 21:30:41 +0100 (MEZ) From: Robert Eckardt Message-Id: <199712142030.VAA05555@ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> Subject: Majordomo FreeBSD.org To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 14 Dec 1997 21:30:41 +0100 (MEZ) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL31H (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 To whom it may concern, is it deliberate or a bug that, when I send `which' to majordomo@freebsd.org, it does not list all lists I'm subscribed to ?

I have apache up on my local 2 machine network. Well, the first suggestion is to get the link working before worrying about apache. The second would be to tell us what the problems are. In this connection it would be helpful, for example, to know which kind of ppp you're using (kernel ppp, aka pppd, or user ppp, aka ppp). The third would be to explain what you mean by "dedicated ip" and "ip on local machine". I would normally expect them to be the same. Which is your end, which is the ISP's end?

What do I do? You already have the simple answer from somebody else. But he didn't tell you that this will waste nearly half the capacity of the floppy. Normally, it's not a good idea to put file systems on floppy. You can't use them to exchange data with other (non-BSD) UNIX systems, either, since the format differs from one UNIX system to another. If you want to use the floppy for backup or transfer purposes, tar is better, and it doesn't require a file system. To copy files to the floppy, enter: # tar cvf /dev/rfd0 To extract them into the current directory or in a subdirectory of the current directory, enter: # tar xvf /dev/rfc0 If you omit the when extracting, it will extract everything for you.

Ended up grepping all over the place for bad144 information and reading kernel source code. Found useful fragments of information in the FreeBSD installation documentation in /stand/help, a few comments in the handbook, some apparently out of date information in the bad144 man page, and a few comments in sections 5 and 8.) I have a Compaq Armada 1125 laptop computer, and have had mostly good luck with it. I've been using it for almost a year with almost no problems. I was using FreeBSD 2.2.1, and have just upgraded to FreeBSD 2.2.5. One problem I have had is hard drive bad sectors. I have now had two sectors go bad on the IDE hard drive on my system. I solved the first one with badsect, but the second one contained i-nodes (I think); badsect refused to deal with it. When I installed 2.2.5, I decided to go with bad144. This e-mail is a quick summary of how I set things up, and a plea for comments from FreeBSD sysadmin gurus indicating if this is reasonable. One comment: I found the bad144 documentation a bit fragmentary, and in a few cases it looked out of date. It might be nice to have a Handbook section with an overview of disk configuration and a description of bad144. (Pardon me if the 2.2.5 documentation already has something like this. I looked at the 2.2.2 documentation.) 1) As I understand it, the slice that contains the root file system has to be entirely contained within the first half-gig of the IDE drive if bad144 information is to be usable during the boot process. This appears to have to do with use of BIOS I/O services during the boot process. 2) As I understand it, bad144 information goes at the end of each slice. Up to 126 sectors can be used at the end of the slice to logically replace bad sectors elsewhere in the slice. However, if the file system at the end of the slice gets full, you may commit some or all of those 126 available sectors to actual files and data in the file system. (This is how I interpret the cryptic warning in the bad144 man page `If that partition is used for a file system, the user is responsible for making sure that it does not overlap the bad sector information or any replacement sectors.') In view of the above, I divided the disk into three slices: 1) a DOS file system for Win95 (about 300 megs) 2) a 70-meg partition for the root file system and swap space 3) a 400-meg partition for /usr (I didn't put a /var filesystem out there; I usually symlink /var to /usr/var.) The other thing I did was to create tiny file systems at the top of each of the two FreeBSD slices. These are something like two megs each; I wanted them as small as possible, but larger than the bad sector information. My intention is never to write anything to these file systems, and indeed not even to mount them. They are there only to ensure that there will always be room for the bad sector data structures. That way, the other file systems on those slices will never grow to the point of stealing sectors that should be left free for bad144's use that way. Is the above reasonable? Here is a `df' after the installation of 2.2.5. (This is before I comment out the /etc/fstab lines that cause /bad1 and /bad2 to get mounted at boot time.) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 19487 13809 4120 77% / /dev/wd0s2e 848 1 780 0% /bad1 /dev/wd0s4f 1392 1 1280 0% /bad2 /dev/wd0s1 296128 280416 15712 95% /dos /dev/wd0s4e 409183 35164 341285 9% /usr procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc /dev/fd0a 1423 126 1297 9% /floppy I don't think the above scheme is common. How do other people ensure that the 126 sectors that bad144 may need don't get allocated to other purposes when the disk starts to get full?

I also suspect imperfections with my named configuration. I'm running a 2.2.5+ ctm updates to 29th October + Luigi's sound and pnp code from 23rd October (I think). One side problem is that my (source only) upgrade to 2.2.5 does not seem to have upgraded the copy of the handbook on my system. Is there any way to stay current with the handbook as well as the source? My ISP doles out IP numbers dynamically, using IPCP. This has worked fine in the past, but now (following the ppp.log file) it seems that that phase of the negotiation never happens at all. I have ppp set up for demand dial.

The stack of IP numbers on the left are ones I've been assigned recently, though.

Maybe after your next helpful messages, ill finaly get the danged thing isntalled (so i can start using the gimp, and install my cusomized xearth)... Is there any way i can fool the installation program into finding my cdrom drive... Can I pass it along as a dos dir? ie: x:\ <-- thats my cdrom root... install the danged binaries! thats all i want to tell the isntall program... Anyway, thanks again for your help... Yours Sincerely, Darach Ennis.

Would I be looking for trouble if I got a DDS for that type. I think "weak" support means that the driver is not currently being developed due to lack of interest.

Thanks http://www.onsale.com/ sometimes has some great deals. Few weeks ago, I picked up a 9 GB 5.25" FF drive for about $375. 2 GB drives are around $150 at this time. If you are going to put a hard drive on your SCSI bus, look for a busmastering host adapter, like the AHA-1540 (ISA), AHA-2940 (PCI), or NCR/SYMBIOS 810. Otherwise, you'll have significantly higher processor overhead during transfers. -- Yun-Ching (Allen) Lee ycl+@cmu.edu "There is no such thing as a good influence...

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. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: 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 one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, 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 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: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: 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 even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. 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 or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, 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. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 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 (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: 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.

That's true enough for recent chips. However, earlier steppings of the chips could have a bug which would make it impossible to run reliably with more than 32 MB of memory. The symptoms are somewhat ambiguous: normally they cause SIGSEGVs (signal 11) when doing a 'make world' or with other compile-intensive functions. For further details, see http://www.chorus.com/~poulot/k6bug.html. When buying a chip, check the serial number. This is written on the last line before the copyright line. According to the FAQ, only B stepping chips with serial numbers up to B 9729XXXX are affected (B is the stepping). Modern chips should be the C stepping, and you should get this anyway for other reasons: they have a lower core voltage.

Your static routes are via lo0, and are nothing to do with ppp. Ppp no longer needs the static loopback route. It will ``reflect'' packets destined for the interface source address automatcially. If however you want to send this stuff to the loopback interface, you must use ppp.linkdown to remove the route - see below. > > To combat this problem (unsuccessfully) I have created a ppp.linkdown > file: > > default: > set ifaddr 10.0.0.2/0 10.0.1.1/0 0.0.0.0 0 > delete ALL > add 0 0 HISADDR > > This does not appear to have done anything at all.... You'll need a label of "MYADDR:" - similary to the ppp.linkup rules.

Well, you can use the MS-DOS commands (mtools, precede the MS-DOS names with an m; for example, mdir, mcopy, etc.). Or tar, which is the second best thing you can do with a floppy (the best thing is to throw it away and use cheap, fast, reliable media, such as tapes). There's enough on this subject in "The Complete FreeBSD".

On Sun, 14 Dec 1997, he wrote: > it MIGHT have worked anyhow.. > unfortunatly you've reached the end of my knowledge.. > you might try directly asking bde@freebsd as he is the person > who wrote all that stuff. So... I hope I can get some help from you without making too great an imposition on your time. Here's my problem description: I've been able to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 on the third partition of the first drive of a two EIDE drive setup. The INSTALL.TXT file on my Walnut Creek CDROM says flatly that I can mount my DOS extended partitions with FreeBSD 2.2.2. Based on that statement, I've reserved a logical partition within the extended partition on my second drive for FreeBSD (using Linux fdisk) - with the intent of subsequently using the FreeBSD fdisk to do the "real" allocation. Yet when I try to get to it during my FreeBSD installation procedure's fdisk portion, I see nothing except the extended partition itself. (i.e. the memu stops with wd1s4.) After installation, I've done a series of "sh MAKEDEV" commands for wd1s5 - wd1s8, as well as for wd0s5 - wd0s8, just to have plenty of device nodes. The logical partition I put a place holder in for using Linux fdisk is "/dev/hdb6", which I *think* is what "/dev/wd1s6" should correspond to. When I boot BSD, and say "fdisk wd1", I get: "... /kernel: wd1: cannot find label (no disk label)" twice and "... /kernel: wd1s6: cannot find label (no disk label)" twice. However, the correct partition table info is displayed. If I try "fdisk wd1s4", I get the above messages plus: "fdisk: can't get disk parameters on /dev/rwd1s6; supplying dummy ones" The partition table info, however, is still correct. Also, the command "fdisk wd0s4" also outputs correct values for the extended partion boot block on the first drive. If I try "fdisk wd1s6", I get the "cannot find ..." and "can't get ..." messages. In addition, the output for the boot block info is incorrect. In general, all output for "fdisk wd0s[5-8]" as well as "fdisk wd1s[5-8]" is incorrect. I've been able to educate myself on the disklabel and newfs commands. And I feel that if I can get past this hurdle, I should be able to put myself in business. Any help or suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I just did the other day and am having some problems getting it to work. I am running 2.2.2 RELEASE and installed all of the portions of the KDE using the ports (not the packages). I was a little confused about what I had to do to acutually run the window manager so, this is what I ended up doing: I found /usr/local/bin/kdm. I assumed this was some sort of display manager (analagous to xdm) so I shut down XDM and started KDM. When I start KDM I see the Accelerated X's giant X appear on my screen as I normall do when my X server is started. However, nothing happens after that....I don't get any sort of log in screen. The X just stays on the screen and I have to kill the server manually to get rid of it. Now, I don't know if I am even following the right procedure to use KDE by starting kdm, and I also don't know if there is anything else I need to do to get it to work, but I would appreciate any help/advice from anyone who has played with this port.

Caldera (www.caldera.com) puts out StarOffice, which is a comercial Linux product, but has a free trial (and/or educational liscence). So far I like it and its interface, but it is horridly slow but reads and writes Word6, rtf, and a few other formats. It reminds me of a 486/20 running Win95 (I'm using a p180). It takes like three minutes (even with the latest Linux emulation hacks) to start up. WordPerfect has a Linux port of Wp 6 and 7 (I'm downloading 7 at the moment), and it has its own printer drivers, the *nix ports are at www.sdcorp.com. There's also ApplixWare. If you print to a postscript file, then you can use ghostscript to print to any epson compatable dot matrix printer (like my kxp-1124), albeit at a very low resolution (my kxp does 360 squared, but epsons don't so...). There's also emacs *grin*. I for one would love a native FreeBSD port of some decent word processor. So far I'm wishing I still had Win95 for text processing. > Please FreeBSD guys, Help me to get rid of Windows 95. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 15 00:12:21 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA03498 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 00:12:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from pili.adn.edu.ph ([165.220.57.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA03487; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 00:12:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from art@pili.adn.edu.ph) Received: from localhost (art@localhost) by pili.adn.edu.ph (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA03695; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:19:14 +0800 (PHT) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:19:14 +0800 (PHT) From: Arthur Alacar To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: ESS ES688 Audio Drive In-Reply-To: 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 Am running on FreeBSD-2.2.5 and is trying to configure my ESS ES688 Audio Drive.

Thanks to you in advance, I usually just use /usr/local/kde/bin/startkde (which might have ended up in /usr/local/bin if you used the port/package). Try putting that in your xinitrc instead of your usual window manager, and see how that goes. If all else fails grab the snapshots from ftp.kde.org (or one of its mirrors), and install them manually.

Those of you who have one of my books can read an example which shows that if you don't specify any parameters, you'll only get 787 kB on a 3.5" floppy. Thanks for drawing this to my attention.

Increase that to 32 or 48 MB, and it will be dramatically faster: it won't crawl any more, it'll just be slow. I hate StarOffice. It's just like Microsoft Word, the screen is full of little unrecognizable pictures, and the editor is really weak. But if that's what you're used to, and you can't make the step to a separate editor and formatter, then it might be for you. >> Please FreeBSD guys, Help me to get rid of Windows 95.

Thanks to you in advance, There is always still a lot of code hacking to be done to even get it to compile and link. It's not really stable, the whole thing will crash out if certain apps (e.g. xfmail) crash. This has been claimed to have been fixed after Beta-2. This is definitely not something for the inexperienced to play with. I've been running KDE for 3 or 4 months now as my regular 'environment'. I'm happy to deal with the bugs. It is memory hungry, and versions prior to Beta-2 are very slow. You periodically have to cull all of the screensaver processes that suddenly appear. You probably also want to kill off the kbgndwm unless you *really* want background images. It also uses a lot of colours so 256 colour modes will probably look poor, it doesn't seem to have the colour allocation tool that CDE has to let you determine how many colours the desktop should have. There is a /usr/local/kde/bin/startkde (I don't know where the port sticks it, I don't use the port). That will show you what needs to be started, or you can use it as your 'window manager' and it should start all the things you need. The audioserver will crash on startup leaving corefiles, so best to remove that from the startkde script (I've fixed it not to leave corefiles, but, it still doesn't work, and I'm not that desperate to have 'zoom' noises played when I open windows) I still like olvwm and afterstep, somewhere between the two would do me nicely.

No. "Easy" conversion implies decryption, which is impossible for the DES encrypted passwords, which is impossible. I havent looked into this sort of thing myself, but I'd bet there is some gizmo that allows logins with DES passwords, but when the user finally changes the password, MD5 is used for the new entry transparently. If such a system isnt in place, I'd be very surprised. Moreover.. I might even undertake the task.

Unfortunately my school uses slirp -P for ppp. I've followed the directions from the handbook, searched the archives, reviewed the man pages for ppp and chat, turned on all of the appropriate loggings in my ppp.conf file and reviewed /var/log/ppp/log. Basically, right now I'm stuck. The current roadblock is how to correctly escape a space character in the login sequence. I've tried \s as the chat man page states, but when I review the logs, it appears that ppp has just omitted the '\' and placed the 's' character where I need the ' ' character. I don't know if there are more problems because I can't seem to get past this. Is there any easier way to initiate ppp using slirp?

We have done many retry loading the system either with the CDROM (relaese 2.2.1) or the network (release 2.2.5). In both cases, the installation process stop randomly and the only way to resume is ... to reboot the computer. Before concluding with an hardware failure, could you tell me if there is a known problem when using that mother board.

I figure someone out there in the world may be seeing this in mid-afternoon...I want to track which machines from my internal network use the Internet. I don't have a firewall as I am using user ppp's packet filtering feature, and my internal network is a fake subnet anyway. So here's an example: I am a user that gets on Netscape from my Mac, and goes and looks at a page. User mode ppp receives the request, masquerades the incoming IP, and forwards the packets. Is there a way I can log where that user went and at what time? Thanks.

Can the intruder have made any change to the kernel or something so that the system is unabled to boot from diskette???

I like it!!!! OK, it seems the FreeBSD world is moving on, 2.2.5 has come along, 3.x has come along. What is happening to the laptop support. has the PAO stuff been included in V3 ? If is not does anyone know if the people who put PAO together plan to do a V 2.2.5 or V3 version. Basically I would like to upgrade my laptop if possible to the latest version of FreeBSD but retain the cool functionaality that PAO provides. I suspect there may be others with the same question. It may have been asked before, but this group is of such high volume usage that it may have slipped by me. If thats so, can someone forward me a previous reply? Thanks in advance.

I thought you could give some help on this piece of code that I am trying to compile under FreeBSD: else if ((sscanf(inbuf, "%s tells you: %c", playername, &c) == 2 ) || (sscanf(inbuf, "%s says %c", playername, &c) == 2) ) { playername[0]=tolower(playername[0]); printf(" (%s) ","TeStInG"); if (inbuf[strlen(playername)+1] == 't') { volume = WHISPER; command = inbuf+strlen(playername)+13; } else { volume = SAY; printf("(%d) => volume ",volume); command = inbuf+strlen(playername)+7; } The problem is that the sscanf with tells is always ignored.

I have encountered a strange problem. Well, it's strange to me at any rate. And most diffiently a problem. I have a mail server running on FreeBSD 2.1.0-R. and this weekend, out of the blue, it decides it is not going to let users get their mail. I run majordomo lists, so I started troubleshooting and when I send a message to a list the message is distributed. This was a relieve. When I telnet over to the server I can view current messages I have received to my account using the mail utility in UNIX. This is also a relieve. So, as far as I can tell, users are getting there mail. The problem is, I use MS Exchange and Pegasus to get my mail from various accounts I have on this server. As of yesterday, neither program is succesful in retrieving mail. I get a message that I have the wrong user name or password or the TCP/IP connection is tempory disconnected. I thought maybe it was my machine at home, however, I received a call from my boss this evening and he is having the same problem. He uses Pegasus. So, having to work with NT and Win 95 machines, I instinctively thought to try rebooting the server. It was a soft reboot, cause I did it remotely, but to no avail. What could cause this problem? I didn't do anything to the server from the time I last knew it to be working properly till Saturday when I was at home and tried to get my mail. Please, any clues, hints would be greatly appreciated. TIA, :)mary * * * * * * * * * * * * * _ _ (___________) Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

One useful, though admittedly arcane, exception case: It's often useful to put a tripwire database on a read-only floppy. I did that rather frequently at my previous employer, for machines exposed to the Internet. It works reasonably well if you're using tripwire to detect changes in system binaries, system configuration files, and the like. The database will be small enough to fit on a floppy-based file system, and tripwire can be pointed directly at the database file. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master. -- Leonardo da Vinci From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 15 06:02:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA29428 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 06:02:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from BIGFUN.vwcom.com (BIGFUN.vwcom.com [151.197.101.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA29418 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 06:02:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bmc@WillsCreek.COM) Received: from WillsCreek.COM (gw.willscreek.com [151.197.101.46]) by BIGFUN.vwcom.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id IAA03512; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 08:56:27 -0500 (EST) Received: from current.willscreek.com (current.willscreek.com [172.16.87.1]) by WillsCreek.COM (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA01750; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 08:39:55 -0500 (EST) Received: (from bmc@localhost) by current.willscreek.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id IAA06839; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 08:39:55 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 08:39:55 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199712151339.IAA06839@current.willscreek.com> From: Brian Clapper MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Arthur Alacar Cc: Jason Wells , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD 2.2.5 install and missing handbook..

Neither the standalone fdisk nor sysinstall supports logical drives. This is not much of a problem for fdisk (just use fdisk on whatever system used up too many primary partitions to create some more logical drives), but it makes it hard to install on logical drives. >The logical partition I put a place holder in for using Linux fdisk is >"/dev/hdb6", which I *think* is what "/dev/wd1s6" should correspond to. > >When I boot BSD, and say "fdisk wd1", I get: > >"... /kernel: wd1: cannot find label (no disk label)" twice and >"... /kernel: wd1s6: cannot find label (no disk label)" twice. This is probably correct. There is no disk label because you haven't written one yet. The warning is printed only for slices that have type 165. You apparently set the type using Linux fixes. >If I try "fdisk wd1s4", I get the above messages plus: > >"fdisk: can't get disk parameters on /dev/rwd1s6; supplying dummy ones" fdisk only works on real drives. The ioctl to get the disk parameters is only supported on real drives and labeled slices (it should have been supported on all slices). >The partition table info, however, is still correct. Also, the command >"fdisk wd0s4" also outputs correct values for the extended partion boot >block on the first drive. It gets more complicated for multiple logical drives. They are chained together, normally with one nested extended partition for each additional logical drive. FreeBSD doesn't support slices for easy access to these extended partitions (they may be found at certain offsets in the top-level extended partition), and some of the sector offsets are relative. In particular, it's hard to see where wd0s6 is. >If I try "fdisk wd1s6", I get the "cannot find ..." and "can't get ..." >messages. In addition, the output for the boot block info is incorrect. This shouldn't be expected to work, since all slices with number >= 5 are logical drives, not extended partitions. >I've been able to educate myself on the disklabel and newfs commands. And= > I >feel that if I can get past this hurdle, I should be able to put myself i= >n >business. Untested hacks to install on a logical drive: 1. Create the drive in its final position using Linux fdisk and note where it puts it (use x (expert) mode to get the sector offsets). 2. Create a primary partition in exactly the same place (use x mode to set the sector offsets). You will probably need to delete a primary partition to make room, and the extended partition containing the logical drive to defeat overlap checking, and all other logical drives within that extended partition. 3. Install FreeBSD normally. 4. Undo step 2. I think you can shortcut steps 2 and 4 by deleting all partitions: 2a. Back up the MBR using dd to copy the sector containing it. 2b. Copy /dev/zero to the MBR to give an empty MBR. 2c. Run any fdisk that supports setting the sector offsets precisely to create the FreeBSD partition. 4. Copy the MBR back. This should work better because it doesn't require deleting the chain of logical drives.

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 I am a typical user of natd, using a machine with two interfaces to connect my private network with the Internet. I am also using the ipfw firewall software. This is all under 2.2.5-RELEASE. My question is, if I let a few machines on the private network access the Internet (but not others), how do I make sure that the firewall still functions when I am using natd? For instance, let's say an internal nameserver at 192.168.1.1 is allowed to get out to the Internet for DNS queries, using the firewall/gateway at 192.168.1.2. I would allow this with ipfw add divert natd udp from 192.168.1.1 to any 53 via fxp1 where fxp1 is my outside interface on the firewall running ipfw. But when I want the result to come back, I have to send the packet back through natd again for translation. Until it's translated, though, I don't know what host it's for! Therefore something like ipfw add divert natd udp from any to 192.168.1.1 53 via fxp1 won't work, because until natd translates fxp1's IP to 192.168.1.1, such a rule has no meaning. Hence my question. When natd does its translation, is the translated packet resent as if it came from the outside again, only with internal addresses properly inserted? Or after a packet goes through natd, does it just go to its destination without delay? If the latter is the case, then I really need two firewalls, one to prevent unauthorized traffic from leaving the network, and one to perform natd on and to prevent unauthorized traffic from entering the network. This is a pretty new experience for me, as we just got our T1, so if I've explained anything badly, please feel free to ask for more details.

I know that hylafax will work will multiple fax/modems. Will FreeBSD handle an internal fax/modem board on each of the four serial ports (sio0 - sio3)? I would like to add 14.4K boards to the 33.6K that I already have. Yes, multiport serial cards are available. If I can use internal fax/modems for all _four_ ports, I can pick these up second hand at very little cost. This is because old 14.4K units will still function very well for faxing. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions are welcomed. Thanks, Richard Hykel hykel@twisto.compaq.com Disclamer: Any opinions expressed are my own and may not be Compaq's.

We have used both the 3Com 509 combo as well as the TP cards on several FreeBSD boxes with no problems. They work very well. I think the "buggy" designation is a leftover from earlier revisions of the driver.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Now that I've had a few months of good experiences with 2.2.2R, I'd like to add a 4 Gb IDE disk for 2.2.5, but am concerned about a possible BIOS problem. FreeBSD will need to share the disk with OS/2 Warp Connect. If FreeBSD, once running, ignores the BIOS, then "not being able to use the full capacity" (see below) probably doesn't pertain, but I'm a bit worried that "crashing BIOS during bootup or upon detecting the drive" is a problem that happens before FreeBSD gets control of the machine. I suppose I can limit myself to a 2 Gb disk to avoid the problem, but I'm wondering before buying whether the list can suggest any other option, or other basis for enthusiasm for even trying a 4 Gb drive? My apologies in advance for a long post; I've tried to do my homework. The list archive says: ------------------excerpt: Date: Tue, 30 Jan 1996 14:03:31 -0700 (MST) From: Terry Lambert Subject: Re: questions related to getting freeBSD to boot from HD after > 1) Does freeBSD 2.1 support a translating BIOS or do I need to disable that? > I have three EIDE drives, (540 MB, 1.2 GB, 1.2 GB) and want to be able to FreeBSD itself doesn't use BIOS. It's a protected mode OS. FreeBSD's second stage boot use BIOS calls to read the kernel and then switched to protected mode to run it. You are limited to locating FreeBSD below BIOS cylinder 1024 (the boot track, disklabel, slice 'a', and replacement sectors, if BAD144 sector sparing is enabled), since the second stage boot must do BIOS-based I/O for all of these things. ---------------------end excerpt This sounds promising. On the other hand, an EIDE/ATA-2 FAQ at http://thef-nym.sci.kun.nl/cgi-pieterh/atazip/atafq-8.html#ss8.3 says: ------------------excerpt: 8.3 My 2GB+ drive is not recognized or crashes. Many BIOSes dated before 1996 contain bugs making them incompatible with drives of more than 4096 cylinders, which works out to be about 2GB in size. Some BIOSes have similar problems at the 8192 cylinder boundary (4GB). The effects may range from not being able to use the full capacity to a crashing BIOS during bootup or upon detecting the drive. ---------------------end excerpt At http://www.ptltd.com/techsupp/biosfaq.html#Q38 Phoenix somewhat encouragingly says: ------------------excerpt: Q38. How large a hard disk will my BIOS support? A38. The PC AT-type BIOS hard-disk interface supports a 528 MB or smaller hard disk under normal circumstances. Without conferring with the owner's manual or the computer manufacturer, there is no reliable method to predict how large a hard disk the BIOS will support. Phoenix helped create a new industry standard, called the Enhanced Disk Drive Support Specification (available in the technical library, this site), that supports hard disks up to 136.9 GB (gigabytes) in size as an optional feature. You must find out from your computer manufacturer if this feature was included in your BIOS. We do not know if the manufacturers to whom we have licensed the BIOS have installed this feature on your computer or not. Phoenix first offered this feature was to our customers in version 4.04 of the BIOS in early 1994. ---------------------end excerpt My other thoughts: Upgrading the motherboard BIOS appears not possible since the manufacturer (Zeos) is defunct. (I know about the Micron BBS, but I'm concerned an unsupported flash BIOS upgrade might not fix the problem, & might actually make something else break, and be irreversible at that.) Although the machine does have a SCSI controller with BIOS (Adaptec 1540 ISA), SCSI disks continue to seem beyond my budget. There's a PCI slot free for an add-on EIDE controller, but since I couldn't get an Adaptec 2940 to work there, I wonder whether an EIDE controller would -- evidently when I got the machine in 1995, the PCI standard was changing so rapidly that many compatibility problems subsequently became evident.

No, if you're getting that then the installation must have failed before it installed any files. Try reinstalling from scratch, blowing away the slice before running the installer.

My guess is that a bug of some kind has crept into a driver or daemon, though I don't know what. I did notice during this last hang, that it occurred right as Cron was waking up, and XLoad showed a sudden spike in activity (I also heard the hard drive right as it died). And I did notice a problem with Cron sometime in the past. One of root's crontabs had somehow gotten messed up, and when I tried to edit it, it would never save the new tab, and Cron suddenly started running at 80% of my CPU. This particular problem has only happened the one time. Has anyone else noticed strange problems with Cron? And could that be the cause of these crashes if there is a bug in the program?

But I couldn't reinstall back the boot manager. There is no such option in its install menu. I think easyboot sounds like a way to go. So where can I find it? and is it hard to install and config? (thought it should not cuz it is called "EASY"boot. :)) I hope my freebsd partition is not gone. I really dont know what i did to the partition table so far. Tried to install system commander and doesn't work and uninstall it and install it again, and still didn't work. :( and then did bootinst.exe boot.bin, it told me install failed. And tried again, failed agian. :( Then tried to use boot floppy method, didn't work tried again did't work. :( I tried at least 6 times in different way to do this... partition table should already have been messed up....

Thanks The Connor tapes may interest you. We have a 4GB tape drive that works fine that was $399, I think. That was a couple of years ago.

There aren't that many benchmarks that really show a substantial difference, but there are differences under enough circumstances that you really should try, if you think that something is amiss, or you think that FreeBSD will work better. The differences at the user level aren't very substantial. In essense, the APIs are pretty much the same, with FreeBSD often being able to run Linux apps (but not often the other way around.) Both are nearly POSIX. >From a userland perspective, since both are nearly POSIX, almost all source code distributed programs compile for both. Also, many (but not every) commercial apps for Linux run quite nicely on FreeBSD. (I have Staroffice running on my machine.) Downsides of FreeBSD are a smaller user base, sometimes slower support for odd or non-mainstream hardware. Kernel sometimes has slightly higher latencies under light load conditions. FreeBSD is single sourced from a development standpoint, but not from a distribution standpoint. Upsides of FreeBSD are better load handling (needed for large server applications), freer redistribution terms (not a high priority for non-developer end users), more organized central distribution, and some people like the FreeBSD ports collection better than the various "ports" mechanisms available with the various Linux distributions. FreeBSD is better about managing the shared library issues, so that ISVs have fewer problems with users having to find the "right" shared libs. My position isn't unbiased, but the above are a result of feedback from users who have tried both. You will not likely find someone around you trying to push FreeBSD, and it is a decision of the user (you) to decide to buy a cdrom or download it. The reasons for switching from one to the other are fairly consistent, and as a user, you are the most competent to decide which is best for you. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 15 12:04:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA06031 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 12:04:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts17-line15.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.232]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA06005 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 12:04:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA00616; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 12:04:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 12:04:21 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Dean Hollister cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Routers In-Reply-To: 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 Mon, 15 Dec 1997, Dean Hollister wrote: > > Hiyall, > > I have just installed a Cisco 1003 router on ed1.

To get the space in your login script, you've got to escape the escape - ie, `\\s'. The `\\' is parsed by the command parser and reduced to a single `\', letting the chat interpreter get a hold of it and in turn interpret the actual `\s'.

I'd tend to build in a real firewall and use the `ipfw ... log ...' feature, or even use tcpdump - both on your internal interface. You can get more control that way. Ppp itself can log this stuff, but it's an ``all or nothing'' scenario so you'd need *lots* of disk space and it'd probably take some time to parse to get your stats out. > Joe Clarke > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

So far so good. Some other FreeBsd machines on the original Class C started complaining about hosts not on the network (I guess they didn't understand some of the arp messages about the new class C on the same wire). They complained but operated without any problems. My Livingston Portmasters on the other hand were a mess. All the arp table entries (on the freebsd boxes) for the Livingstons were marked as incomplete and all connectivity to proxy-arp customers on them was lost. Any known problems with this?

According to the man pages on 'ac' and 'last', they both depend on being able to read /var/log/wtmp. I am not sure why one would work while the other wouldn't though.

I'm having a very basic problem with CTM. I've got 222 Deltas on my hard drive, each of them in two versions: within netscape and within my deltas directory. This means my hard disk is filling at a rate of about 20 kB per day. I started CTM'ing at somewhere in the 300s (300xEmpty is my first base delta), and there have been two major deltas in between. Is there a simple way of reducing the amassed CTM repository to a given CTM number, e.g. to #500? This would enable me to simply download the base delta in case of a crash and then use my CTM files.

I thought RSVP was something to do with a one-sided connection based layer on top of IP..... obviously this isn't what you're talking about (is it?). If you're interested, you could take a look at /usr/src/lib/libalias - adding support is reasonably straight forward once you know the format of the packets that contain the IP numbers (I'm asuming it's a similar ``problem'' to the ftp DATA command).

Each incoming packet is subjected to the firewalling rules. When one of these rules says ``divert'', the packet is sent to natd and no further firewall rules are applied. The kernel is finished with the packet. If natd chooses to re-insert the packet into the incoming packet stream (which it always does), it's again subjected to the firewalling rules, but *ignoring* the divert this time 'round. The result is that if you put the divert rules at the start of your ipfw list, the remaining rules get to see the un-aliased packet. There are some regular arguments about whether the re-inserted packet should be only subjected to the rules *after* the divert.... Either way, IMHO, you should always put your divert rules first, then you get to firewall what's *actually* being routed rather than what it looks like to the outside world. Outgoing packets are basically the same. Divert them first and you'll get to firewall the real scenario rather than the fake ``outside world'' view. > Thanks, > > dw > > A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font > to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ > mcs.net > Wishes are like dishes. > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

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 I'm using ppp in -auto mode and have noticed that in the log file that after I issue a kill -INT to ppp I see that it shows how long the connection was up in seconds. So I wrote a little awk script to pull those value's out and add them up so I can track my times and see when PPP is dialing out etc. But I have rc5 running on a couple of machines and they want to call out at random times when they need new blocks or to send anything out. Unfortunatly the only thing I can do is to let the connection time out and ppp does not record the lenght of time the connection was up when a connection idles out. My awk script does not pick that info out of the log file since its not there. Is there a way to force ppp to log the lenth of time a connection was up? I looked into the set log options but nothing there seemed to do what I want. I use ppp from 08/20 of this year.

Nope :-) The number's hex and RUNNING is missing. RUNNING is set by the kernel after the interface is first brought up (contrary to my other response to this ``thread'').

You now get throughput and uptime for the physical modem and for the IPCP layer. On-the-fly throughput is only measured if you ``enable throughput'', but uptime and overall throughput are always measured. This info is also available using ``show modem'' and ``show ipcp''.

The problem is caused by the rlimit's being too conservative in /etc/login.conf. Change the "daemon" entry so that it has much more data and stack.

You should be able to boot from the bootstrap-diskette, as it doesn't use the stuff on the hd until it tries to mount the root. Can the machine boot from hd? Do you get the boot: prompt, so you can enter -s to go to single-user? I would make a fresh installation floppy, and upgrade the whole system, in case hacked executables are installed, and then double-check what is run from inetd and misc rc-files.

Either way, WP 5.1 was one of the best written programs I've ever used. It was blazingly fast (on a 486 none the less), so I wouldn't doubt that a lot of it was written in assembly.

Were you the person complaining about a 3 minute startup? Does it swap a lot during that time? The other thing we've been seeing is that it hangs for about that amount of time doing a name server lookup.

But don't expect assembler to bring that much performance improvement. I did some tests and found less than 5% CPU time improvement over well-written C.

In this case, it's completely idle during that period. I don't know if I was _the_ one, but it did take nearly three minutes to start up. If it was a nameserver lookup, the Linux emu code surely needs some improvment then.

Yes, but it was amazingly fast. There were also like 7 versions (updates) of WP 5.1 ending somewhere near 1/1992 (which was fairly bug free). I still have 4.2 around here, but only on ~5inch disks. WP6 for DOS and any WPWin were slow as heck, so they eventually released WP 5.1+ for DOS. Its integrated file manger was nice, somewhat midnight commanderish, and very versatile. It ran nicely under windows too (albeit with funky floppy problems) or on an IBM/PC. I wonder if it'll run under doscmd or dosemu. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 15 17:45:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA08553 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 17:45:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from zippy.dyn.ml.org (garbanzo@ghana-152.ppp.hooked.net [206.169.228.152]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA08544 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 17:45:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from garbanzo@hooked.net) Received: from localhost (garbanzo@localhost) by zippy.dyn.ml.org (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA08404; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 17:46:21 -0800 (PST) X-Authentication-Warning: zippy.dyn.ml.org: garbanzo owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 17:46:21 -0800 (PST) From: Alex X-Sender: garbanzo@zippy.dyn.ml.org To: Doug White cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD Laptop support In-Reply-To: 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 Mon, 15 Dec 1997, Doug White wrote: > On Mon, 15 Dec 1997, Stephen Cooper wrote: > > > Greetings FreeBSD guru's > > > > I am using FreeBSD 2.2.2 with the PAO laptop patches/extensions on my > > Toshiba laptop.

Well, checking Pedro's email headers: X-mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win16; I) I'd say if Linux has been bad enough for Pedro to be running Windows to web surf and send email, its time to try FreeBSD. :-) Netscape 3 and Communicator 4 are some of the most popular commercial applications available for FreeBSD.

As you can imagine, it is not Freeware ;) You might want to look into StarOffice; I've heard that it does well (under Linux emulation, of course, since it's a Linux app). Or, if you're adventurous, look at LaTeX, which is a text formatting language (kinda like HTML). Basically, you write it in any text editor including tags for things like bold, italic, center, etc. Then you run it through a filter on it's way to the printer, and it comes out formatted. I image there's a previewer available; there may even be editors that can save in LaTeX format. I'm not a LaTeX expert; I just know that it exists; someone else can probably tell you more. > > Steve > *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 15 18:34:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id SAA12195 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 18:34:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from darius.concentric.net (darius.concentric.net [207.155.184.79]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id SAA12179 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 18:34:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mlduke@concentric.net) From: mlduke@concentric.net Received: from newman.concentric.net (newman.concentric.net [207.155.184.71]) by darius.concentric.net (8.8.8/(97/11/17 5.8)) id VAA11811; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 21:34:14 -0500 (EST) [1-800-745-2747 The Concentric Network] Received: from mlduke.concentric.net (ts002d07.mer-id.concentric.net [206.173.184.43]) by newman.concentric.net (8.8.8) id VAA06520; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 21:34:13 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 18:37:49 -0900 (AKST) To: Greg Lehey cc: Alex , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Writing/Publishing FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <19971216112010.31703@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, 16 Dec 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > >> 64 MB will do. > > > > Sometimes I wonder, perhaps it's just my window manager eating up > > ram. > I wrote "The Complete FreeBSD" with Emacs and groff.

The output from groff is what went into the phototypesetter. To quote the preface: How this book was written This book was written and typeset almost entirely with tools supplied as standard with the FreeBSD system. The text of this book was written with the GNU Emacs editor, and it was formatted with the GNU groff text formatter, version 1.10, and some heavily modified mm macros. The man pages were formed with an and doc macros, slightly modified to produce a table of contents entry, an index entry, and correct page sizing. The process was performed under FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT. Even the development versions of FreeBSD are stable enough to perform heavy-duty work like professional text formatting. The source files for this book are kept under RCS, the Revision Control System (see page 1132). Here are the RCS Version IDs for the chapters of this particular book. If you have a comment about a particular chapter, it will help if you can tell me the version ID.

The Andrew system includes a word procesor which does most basic word processing type things and exports rtf -- which Micro$**t products will read with varying degrees of success. Corel also, I think, has a Java version of an office wuite which may interest you. TeX and kin (LaTeX is a macro package for TeX) is a _markup_ language. I use it all the time and love it. It is -- in fact -- the grandaddy of commercial typesetting systems. But be prepared to belly up to the bar. The learning curve is steep. Lyx is a delightful WYIWYG package that will do most word processing chores and is based on Tex (LaTeX, really) and is _much_ more useable than WORD or its clones but is not importable into commercial word processors. Also, don't overlook troff as a mark up tool. The choices seem to boil down to this, a) use a commercial product to get as much and as little as you have seen in the DOS/ETC world or b) use a Unix tool which gives you all the power and flexibility you could want (and is portable to almost all other systems except M$WORD). I will (can't resist) make the observation that Micro$**t has made it possible for more people to churn out more crap in less time than ever before possible. As an ex typsetter, I find that offensive. Try Lyx -- I think it's the best of both worlds. -- Jay On Mon, 15 Dec 1997, Matthew D.

Well here goes. Just grabbed the source for this version of PPP and will have a go at it. I installed the other version so this shouldnt be any different I would guess.

And it was and eternity before I discovered those um, thingamies, where you have like 6 "screens" side by side and can swap from one of these screens to another.

Just change the settings about virtual desktop to not bigger than screen.

Yes, there is a rare problem caused by a bug in the 82557 chip that can cause the receiver to lock up if it gets certain types of garbage (such as might happen when a hub or switch is power cycled). The problem will also show up even without garbage when used in 10Mbps half duplex mode. I have a work around in the 2.2/3.0 version of the driver which doesn't exist in the 2.1 version. It would difficult to back-port the fix, so it hasn't been done. Wcarchive ran for 6 months with 2.1+fxp without ever having the problem show up, so I don't consider it serious. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 16 00:15:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA05801 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:15:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from tao.sinanet.com.tw ([139.175.55.224]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA05795 for ; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:15:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ywliu1@tao.sinanet.com.tw) Received: (from ywliu1@localhost) by tao.sinanet.com.tw (8.8.7/8.8.5) id QAA27810 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 16:15:44 +0800 (CST) From: Hoffmann Yen-Wei Liu Message-Id: <199712160815.QAA27810@tao.sinanet.com.tw> Subject: test To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 16:15:43 +0800 (CST) 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 test From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 16 00:31:15 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA06908 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:31:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from www.stv.ee (www.stv.ee [195.50.193.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA06901 for ; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:31:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dima@stv.ee) Received: from stv.ee (dima2 [192.168.193.38]) by www.stv.ee (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA03143 for ; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 10:30:46 +0200 (EET) Message-ID: <34963B85.B3DC38DA@stv.ee> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 10:27:49 +0200 From: Dmitry Baranov X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: Internal network -> Internet Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks to all replies me.

The port monitor used is the mgetty 1.0.0, to respond in AutoPPP mode to LCP config-requests. The clients connect succesfully, but the problems arise on the server when the client disconnects, or the modem line drops for whatever reason: The ppp process stays up and does not exit like below 434 d0- Ss 0:00.46 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct papttyd0 As a result, the tty lines is kept busy and none is able to connect any longer, until the ppp process is killed by hand on the server side. With the pppd implementation, I used to set the "modem" option, which makes use of the modem control lines. Does something similar exist for the iijppp, or what is the procedure to follow?

You can have a NEW, powerful, Intel Pentium computer directly FROM US, built with ALL quality components at the lowest possible prices in years. Unbelievable, but true! Imagine, $1247 for a 233 MHz MMX Pentium Computer with MMX Technology! The perfect computer for home, school or business use. But buckle up, because this computer absolutely flies! It features an Intel Pentium processor matched with the latest "TX" Intel chipset motherboard for performance that is nothing short of spectacular. Please note this computer is absolutely BRAND NEW (Not refurbished) and they feature Intel PENTIUM processors EXCLUSIVELY (Not cheap substitutes like AMD or Cyrix). Our Computers have MORE memory, MORE power, and MORE speed for your money. They come LOADED with: * 20 Speed Cd-Rom * 33.6 Fax/Modem for fast internet access * a large, fast 2.1 GB Hard drive * 16 MB of RAM * 512 KB Pipeline Burst cache * Top quality motherboard with Intel TX chipset (very important) * 64 Bit MPEG video with 2 MB RAM * 3D Sound with 80 Watt speakers * 104 Key Windows 95 Keyboard and Mouse * Windows 95 CD Installed Want 32 MB RAM for intense demanding jobs?

That's why we design and manufacture our computers to LAST well into the next century. We don't skimp on anything. We build our Computers for you CAREFULLY, one at a time (a far cry from the assembly line mentality of: slap it together and hope it works). We TEST each and every computer for at least 72 hours, so they work FLAWLESSLY right out of the box. No large company can afford to do that. Nor are they willing to! Consider a reader's survey by PC World Magazine in the June '97 issue. They found MORE THAN HALF of their readers experienced PROBLEMS with BRAND NAME computers they recently bought. They titled the article, "When Bad PCs Happen to Good People." The conclusion is obvious: dealing with a large company doesn't assure you of getting a dependable computer. You are not just a number to us. The technician who builds your computer, custom configures it exactly how you want it - just right for you. He even knows your name since it gets programmed into the computer when he optimizes it for speed and performance. And you'll know his name too, because he signs his name to your computer. This guarantees it has been built to the best of his ability and ready for your computing pleasure. There is nothing for you to do except plug it in and turn it on. That's all! Remember, our computers work FLAWLESSLY right out of the box. P.S. SPECIAL BONUS IF YOU ORDER NOW!

I am Using Zyxel and I call the ISP using the dial twice to get 2xB (128K) The modem does handle the B channel joining and you should not have any need for knowing.

My Epson PostScript printer is connected with a full null-modem cable to a serial port using a 16550 UART. All works fine, except when I´m printing more than 2 (approx.) pages the printer gives an ioerror. OS is FreeBSD-2.2.2RELEASE, the printer is set to 38400,8,n,1 Xon/Xoff printcap entry: laser|Epson EPL-7500:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:sc:mx#0:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :lp=/dev/ttyd1:br#38400:fs#0x082000c1:rw:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/psdf: It seems that somehow the Xoff is lost somewhere. I don´t know if I´ve set the flags wrong, or if the 16550 is the problem (printer has no RTS/CTS flow controll).

A backgrounded proccess will always be stopped if it tries to read from the controlling terminal. Whether it is stopped when it attempts to write output depends upon the "tostop" tty flag. If you see the man page for stty(1) you will see that setting tostop will cause the program to be sent a SIGTTOU to the process and the default behavior of the signal is to stop the process. If you set -tostop, then the process will ignore the SIGTTOU, write the the tty and continue as if nothing had happened. -tostop should be the default setting.

I understand that 'make world' builds my entire system from the source tree. In the process, it obviously sets the file modes on everything it builds. Is there a way I can run a portion of 'make world' that would just change all the file modes of every file it would normally build, without having to fully recompile the system? 2. I would like to build a statically linked, stand alone version of /usr/bin/tar with full functionality. You know, like the executables you find in /stand. I have the full 2.2.2-RELEASE source files, and a complete system. Can I just set LDFLAGS="some set of flags for ld" in tar's Makefile to do this? If so, what might that set be? If not, what else should I do? Thank You, JM ------- > Jeffrey M.

Everyone heretofore has talked about window managers. Window managers can provide the virtual desktop, which is a desktop larger than your physical screen. You can fix the problem you have without learning about window managers by editing you /etc/XF86Config file. In subsection display, option virtual, there is a an (x,y) value which sets the size of the virtual display. Just change this to whatever you are using. For example, mine says 1024, 768.

The disc is a 3089MB HD (6696*15*63*512). After my last message I descovered that in the machine's setup there is a option to configure a disc as a DOS or a non-DOS one. I'd put as a non-DOS and that's why I couldn't boot with FreeBSD. Setting as a DOS disc it works whell. I have no idea what a non-DOS disc means.

It is useless when trying to access the outside world from your machine but is very useful when the outside world is trying to access your machine. Hostname on your machine allows other machines on the network to find this machine by name instead of remembering the IP number.

I'd like to have MFS support configured in my custom kernel, partly for improving compilation times and partly just for fun. But I have some doubts about how MFS works in FreeBSD. First, according to the description of MFS in the "Design & implementation of 4.4 BSD Operating System", by McKusick et al., MFS is implemented in a paging on demand basis, and the kernel doesn't reserve a dedicated area of memory for it. I must supose that scheme is used in FreeBSD, isn't it? Does this mean that memory is not used anyway until blocks in the MFS are accessed? BTW, what's the exact meaning of the MFS_ROOT option in the kernel config file? My system has 32MB RAM and 48MB swap space, and the greater project I ever compiled is the custom kernel, or maybe `mysql'. What size would you recommend for MFS to get some benefit in compilation? Also, what is the impact of a larger MFS mounted, mainly in memory usage? TIA, Jesus ------ Jesus A. Mora Marin, MD.

(for example, the ones that come with Windows '95 & NT4 are just about 'VT100' and 'VT52' compatible)... It could be the system doesn't know about the terminal your using - try one of the following after you have logged in: setenv TERM vt100 (for tcsh & similar shells) -or- set TERM=vt100;export TERM (for csh or 'classic' shells - replace 'VT100' with what you think your using, e.g. VT52, VT220 etc.) If you want to change the editor that chpass, chsh etc. use - when you've logged in edit your '.cshrc' file - the settings are in their (just change the /usr/bin/ee to /usr/bin/vi) Regards, Karl Bill Sandiford wrote: > > When I telnet to my FreeBSD box and try to do anything that uses ee as a > default editor weird things happen.

If it's pointing to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xsvga, it'll look at the "svga" driver. Normally it will choose 8 bits per pixel, unless you change the config file or start with a -bpp flag. Next, it will take the first entry in the Mode line associated with the driver and depth. In this example, the svga driver will come up with 640x480, and the accel driver will come up with 1024x768.

The machine is remote so access to the console is a problem. The ccd array is 3-9Gb Seagate Barracuddas. Has anybody seen this or have a fix?

I really suggest that you try LyX, from the ports collection. It does have the disadvantage of requiring a full LaTeX install, which is some 20+M, but that is there in ports too, and the modern configuration UI is pretty complete. Even though it uses LaTeX, you don't really need to see it at all. What you have is a "what-you-see-is-what-you-mean" interface that is pleasant to look at and fast. It has a /really/ convenient equation editor, and has no problem displaying EPS graphics in-situ. (It can probably do other graphics types, but EPS is all I use.) I don't know that I'd bother trying to do broadsheet layout on it, but that's not what it's for. I've used it to write personal and business letters and a 160 page, multi-chapter, fully cross-referenced document, and it handled the latter with complete aplomb. (Historical note, to confirm biasses: I've used LaTeX on its' own for about ten years. I've also used MS Word, and hate it. I can never get the text to flow properly past float figures, table formatting is fragile, and I have /never/ worked on a Word document longer than five pages that didn't cause the program to crash, losing work.) -- Andrew "The steady state of disks is full." -- Ken Thompson From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 16 16:26:43 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA15081 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 16:26:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from emerald.accessv.com (emerald.accessv.com [206.221.248.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA15072 for ; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 16:26:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grobin@accessv.com) Received: from accessv.com (port006-86.accessv.com [209.50.86.6]) by emerald.accessv.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA16616; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 19:26:46 -0500 Message-ID: <34971C23.B9B0D28@accessv.com> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 19:26:11 -0500 From: Geoffrey Robinson Reply-To: grobin@accessv.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [en] (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Greg Lehey CC: questions@freeBSD.org Subject: Re: X-Windows desktop is larger than my screen.
