First, I cannot find any documentation on this. Please tell me where to look. My immediate background is BSD 2.1, which I still have on another machine here -- the one I am using at this moment, which dials-up to queernet.org where there is BSD 3.0. The situation is this: my FreeBSD system shares with Windows95. Windows95 can call out with no difficulty. So I know the modem is working all right and the port is configured okay. Must be something wrong with how I have the FreeBSD modem software configured. On the FreeBSD side, I can call out, receive login prompt, enter my login, but I cannot enter the password on the remote machine. Screen freezes up and I have to exit using ~. Neither the FreeBSD hardcopy handbook nor the on-line man pages reveal anything to me about this problem.

For example, I use usermode ppp to connect to my ISP, and then launch fetchmail to grab my incoming mail from a POP3 server at my ISP. Once this part of the process is done, I tell sendmail to distribute the just recieved mail, and send any pending outbound mail. Next, I use ppctl to close the ppp session. (This all runs in a cron job.) Once the mail is in my home system, I either read it in pine at tHe console, or read it in a POP3 reader on my W95 system over my home network. Advantages: Doesn't require setup by my ISP, and they can't say no, because I never asked. As far as the ISP is concerned, I'm just another Windows user. Because I'm only online for mail transfers as long as is necessary, I can either handle a great deal of mail, or save a good part of my 30hrs online tIme per month for grabbing FreeBSD packages, surfing, or doing other nonmail things. Disadvantages: As its now setup, I only fetch mail for one user (I have only the one email address). This is a limit of my personal arrangement, and not a limit of the technique. If there were several POP3 mailboxes I wanted to check, I could just run fetchmail once for each user. Other scenarios worth a look: I have nothing against uucp except ignorance (my own). In order to Be your own 'poSt office', ie tO be able tO allocate email address at will, might requiRe tHat you have your oWn 'post office' name. Uucp plays intO tHis as well, but again I only know tHat uucp is a tra6nsport. DEpending on what tYpe of transport yOu used, this approach could involve quitE a few pieces. ONly slightly less flexible, and perhaps less work, would be to find an open minded ISP, who could do yOu tHe favor of providing an alias for each of tHe people you would like tO provide mail tO. In this way, the people yOu help would be called 'person@yourISP.whatever'. YOUr ISP would haVe and alias entry tO route tHe mail tO your syStEm 'outinthebush.yourISP.whatever'. YOur ISP would also need a version of SMTP that is capable of ETRN. Or, tHis might be tHe role of uucp. (SMTP Is much like a postman on a route. Your postman (Or letter carrier for you anti sexists) expects your home tO be exactly at tHe address on The envelope. If yOur house is indeed an RV, and you've up and moved somewhere else, tHe mail at best goes back to sender. POP3 is more like a 'post office box' where yOu don't have an unchanging or know address, and just want to stop by and pick up your mail. THe analogy can go fairly deep. YOUr home's mailbox doesn't usually have a lock on it(?), but 'PO boXes' usually do(?).) AN ETRN CApable SMTP is much like leaving a note for tHe postmaster tO keep your mail at tHe postoffice while you are away on holiday. ONce yOu are back, yOu send a note tO tHe postmaster saying so, and tHe postman delivers all YOuR junkmail in tHe normal manner. Fetchmail is able tO trigger ETRN CApable SMTP. So, with this scenario: Fetchmail can keep track of the times of the day you would like it to go get the mail from your ISP. Also, fetchmail can monitor the status of the ppp link to autmatically grab mail when the link is up for some other reason. When sendmail brings tHe link up for example. Using the expense parameter of sendmail, you can have sendmail doing local delivery as a daemon, *AND* also bring up dialondemand ppp on a schedule, or when a piece of outbound mail has been waiting tO go out for a preset tIme, or a combinatIon of the two. Sendmail can also rewritE tHe return addressEs of mail originatIng at your sitE, So tHat mail channeled through your ISP has your ISP As its 'from' address. Usermode PPP makes connectIng tO your ISP to do tHe actUal transfers eAsy and speedy. A pppgetty allows your users to log into a text mode tty, or automatically hit kernel mode PPP for a W95 friendly connection. Kernel mode PPP handles user's ppp connections nicely. QPopper allows your users to use Netscape, Eudora, Pine or other POP3 compatible clients read their mail. Pine on you system, will allow the text mode users to read their mail. FreeBSD is the nice, stable, efficient, well supported OS to run it all on. The code is good, the only limits are ours.

The FreeBSD project is targeted at providing a complete and powerful operating system for the PC (i386) architecture. While there are two other ports under development as of now (to the DEC Alpha and Sun UltraSparc architectures), so far FreeBSD is a PC-only OS. NetBSD on the other hand, targets portability. There are NetBSD ports for almost any machine you can find, and porting it to a new environment is relatively easy. > 3- Who of them should i choose (I have a pentium 200Mhz with 64Mb of Ram > and 4Mb S3 virge) > What I need is a operating system better than linux.

Try running your script from the console. I would strongly recommend using the 'a' option with a DAT or cartridge tape driver. dump needs some kind of info as to what kind of tape it uses. I'm using dump 0uabBf 64 4000000 /dev/nrst0 /usr The 'b 64' is for rdumps, they get painfully slow otherwise, and I find it easy to have the same buffer size for all dumps, wheather local or remote. 'B 4G' solves my problem of not getting proper end-of-tape signal. You probably don't need these two, but do use the 'a' option. This might not help for you, though. There shouldn't be a problem using a DAT as long as it is SCSI. You do rewind tapes between uses? maybe you should try retension (mt ret)? Sorry I can't more helpful.

No, actually, it doesn't have HTML files for each article. At least not as such. There are a few .htm files for things like the FAQ and the search forms; but the bulk of the data is stored in a compressed database. (/cdrom/db/database.lz and .../database.ht) The .ht file appears to be a binary index or hash table, but it does contain partial paths to html files that must be in the .lz file.

I believe, without any substantial factual basis, that the OED uses an ISO standard electronic book format. But they may also use compression, and probably use binary search programs.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 04 Jan 1998 12:16:15 -0800 From: Rainer Enders Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi Doug, thank you first of all for your reply. The NIC is configured correctly. In the meantime I was able to reproduce the error an nail it down. The mail server is connected to a Cabletron SmartSwitch 6000 to a 10/100 switched port. When I configure the Switchport on the Cabletron to fixed 10 MBit the server works fine in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode. When I set the switched port to 100 MBit either full or half-duplex I don't get a link up at all between the Switch and the PC. When I configure the Switchport to Autosensing the PC gets connected at 100 MBit half duplex - strange behavior anyhow. In this mode mail clients are unable to connect to the server. The connection times out. So I was thinking of a problem in the driver for the 3COM card in BSD. But maybe its a problem with the Switch? I would be interested to hear from people using FreeBSD 2.2.5 with the 3COM 3C905 NIC in 100 MBit mode.

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 attempting to install 2.2.5-RELEASE onto a Quantum Fireball 1080MB IDE disk. Geometry is 2112/16/63, BIOS using "normal" mode. When booting from the install floppy the kernel correctly identifies this disk. However, when I go to partition the disk and select "use all" with "dangerously dedicated" mode, it produces a completely bogus geometry: 1028/255/63. According to the help in the install program, the geometry is not relevant for "dangerously dedicated" mode (BIOS geometry?), but when I go to set up the filesystem it gives me 8 gigs of space. Is this expected behavior? BTW, that is 1028 cylinders it claims as the geometry, not 1023 or 1024. I tried setting it manually to 2112/16/63, but then it loses the partition info and when I select "use all" again, the bogus geometry returns. I used to have FBSD 2.1.0 on this disk using "dangerously dedicated" mode but I've had to use microshaft since then so the original partition information is gone. Things were working fine with the older version, though.

However, you'll find that NetBSD has targeted multi-platform more aggressively than either FreeBSD or Linux. There are shops that use FreeBSD for X86's and NetBSD for other architectures. Even though they have diverged significantly, they are still similar enough to keep you sane :-). The LL performance of FreeBSD is much closer to Linux (faster) than NetBSD, while FreeBSD is also more optimized for macro level performance. All three OSes are working to improve, and comparisons made a few years ago are almost totally inaccurate now. I haven't checked NetBSD in about 1yr now, and they might have made some improvements that I don't know about recently. You'll often find that FreeBSD and NetBSD cross-pollenate, and at my work, we use both. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.

It has a network card and a scsi bus system. The problem I am having is configuring Freebsd to access the ethernet card. It does'nt appear to have a problem with locating the card installed with the proper addr/io/irq settings. But I cannot proceed through the CONFIG-NETWORKING-INTERFACES section of the /stand/sysinstall program. It persistently tells me that my IP address is incorrect. What am i doing wrong, or where can I simply add the IP of my choice in a config file and just get it over with once and for all!!!! Also, I am trying to install a second scsi disk. I cannot find any info in the handbook on how to format the disk with freebsd and then mount it..... I'm obviously no UNIX guru. But I have had some sysadmin experience on HPs.

The commands man 4 snp man 8 watch will give documentation on the snoop device (I found these by doing "apropos snoop"). To install it, you'll need to recompile the kernel with a line like pseudo-device snp 3 #Snoop device - to look at pty/vty/etc.. in your kernel config file (see the Handbook for information on recompiling the kernel). > please send your answer to : > sulaiman@students.itb.ac.id It's a good idea to set the "Reply-To" field in the headers if you want the reply to go to a different address from the one in your "From" field.

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.

This particular panic is about the most unspecific we have. Translated into Microsoft, it means "General Protection Error". About the only clue we have is the IP value, which you could look up in an nm of the kernel: $ nm /kernel | sort | more Page through the output until you find an address close to 0xf0125a7c. On my kernel, I get the followoing in this area: f0125840 t _semundo_adjust f012592c t _semundo_clear f01259a0 T ___semctl f0125f04 T _semget f012613c T _semop Your results will be very different. Of course, if this is likely to happen again, you should enable dumping. In /etc/rc.conf, ensure that you have something like: savecore_enable="YES" # Save kernel crashdumps for debugging (or NO). dumpdev="/dev/sd0b" # Device name to crashdump to (if enabled). The name of the dumpdev should be the name of a swap partition at least the size of physical memory. Make sure also that you have a directory /var/crash on a file system with enough free space to store the dump (memory size) and the kernel (1.? MB). If you then get the panic again, I can give you some suggestions about what to look for. Check also the online handbook, which contains some material about this.

I wonder if one should ask the same question to the same people over and over again, in ALL the possible ways. Apparently the cause was that he was asking for something that simply DID NOT EXIST in life. Man, you'll find over 90 % of people who installed Apache and have a working Web Site, did manage even without reading a single document. But to Mr. Geoffrey, the case is different, the problem is that if the time wasted to repeatedly ask the question was devoted to try setting up the THING he would have discovered that it is not that dangerous to his health or difficult at AALLLLLL. But as psychiatrists like to say, there are some ANAL personalities, (THIS IS A SCIENTIFIC TERM, SO DO NOT TAKE IT OTHERWISE), these are people who are always asking themselves while typing on the keyboard, "ARE MY FINGER TIPS CLEAN ???) ;-/ Sorry if I came hard on you Geoffrey, but please try this 'VERY RISKY ;-)' procedure of setting up Apache before reading the docs at the mentioned URL, and if you fail, so ALL of you , FLAEM ME !!

You could theoretically convert it on the client, but this would assume knowledge of the remote hardware, and would cause unnecessary problems if you were to upgrade arnold.

If you're just a little lucky, there's a ready-made filter in the ghostscript package that you can use in your printcap file. Netscape prints in postscript, as most unix progs. Check the docs for ghostscript on how to do this.

Each machine's Netscape needs to know where to print (what /etc/printcap entry to use). If you have them defined as `lp', you probably won't have to change anything within Netscape. > > Does Netscape print in postscript, or bitmap, or what? Postscript. > The canon is not postscript, do I need ghostscript? On the printerhost, > or the client? Install the apsfilter port on arnold (the machine that is physically connected to the Canon printer). After installation, arnold should be able to print text, graphics, and postscript files without user intervention, i.e., you won't have to think about what you're trying to print anymore. :-) > > > Leif Neland > leifn@image.dk > > --- > |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 > |Internet: leifn@image.dk -- Regards, Norman C.

It includes general abilities to include filters that the user must set up, to do things like conversion for a printer, accounting, printing header pages, doing network printing, etc. The apsfilter port makes use of ghostscript to make a filter system for printcap, so that postscript files can be sent to the lp printer, or any of a group of other formats (like gif, jpeg, straight ascii, others). What I'd suggest doing is to check out ghostscript, which converts postscript so that a very large assortment of printers can print it. Postscript is extremely general, and if you can get your printer working to print postscript via ghostscript, then you can have apsfilter installed for you by the port, and you'll have a very good printing system. > > hometeam@techpower.net > --We cannot all be masters, nor all masters > Cannot be truly follow'd-- > > -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- > Version: 2.6.2 > > owEBqwBU/4kAlQMFADRCxNWhsddKSTR+6QEBelED/jzeC3btZfqSdIfrNoCgwUJJ > iNQ33UQoMyJ2ygkfl72xP5J79yml/F4P73GnNaDVbaMOmOG2NNAi5ElE73wRh54U > 17kH+n5XnYeqekV8T2TG2Q6ex3UotXPyZ1vvrCrSxapOz6a4hh0GQeA55rcwLy2W > ROHwxfvaVsrX5iVOkRoerBFiC21lc3NhZ2UudHh0AAAAAA== > =jCvF > -----END PGP MESSAGE----- > > > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 4 19:09:16 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA22948 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 19:09:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from picnic.mat.net (picnic.mat.net [206.246.122.117]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA22943 for ; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 19:09:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chuckr@glue.umd.edu) Received: from localhost (chuckr@localhost) by picnic.mat.net (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA11365; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 22:05:58 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 4 Jan 1998 22:05:57 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Robey X-Sender: chuckr@localhost To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Jes=FAs_Huitr=F3n?= cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Question from Mexico In-Reply-To: <369158E7.6AE0@rtn.uson.mx> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from QUOTED-PRINTABLE to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id TAA22944 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 4 Jan 1999, Jesús Huitrón wrote: > I'm a systems developer in Hermosillo, Sonora, México and i'm planing to > start learning Unix or FreeBsd, but i have some dudes. > Can Freebsd works with Windows 95 and applications made in Visual Basic, > Visual Fox or Delphi? > Do you have a representative office in México? > I ask this, because i will need to develop an enterprise program > (application) and I need to know if freebsd can help me on this. > I hope you can help me. Jesus, FreeBSD is an Operating system, not a program. It doesn't operate under Windows95, or under any other OS, it _is_ an OS itself. It can operate in a partition in the same machine as Windows, but not at the same time. Windows95 executeables don't work on FreeBSD, because the format is totally different, and the form of system support different (and far more advanced). The Microsoft tools don't work under FreeBSD; this is Unix, not Windows. There are some things that work better under Windows (often because of compatiblity with your customer's ot erh software) and many things that work far better under FreeBSD, because of the relatively higher sophistication of some parts of FreeBSD (which trace their roots back to BSD Unix). This is a complicated subject, but really well worth your time to investigate. For one thing, the software develoment environment under unix is great. For another thing, most of the software develoment tools under FreeBSD are FREE, and teh source code is totally available. Next time you can't understand how a library call is working, how about reading the source code yourself, and figuring it out that way? BTW, this is a volunteer organization. There are other FreeBSDers in Mexico (they post here, you may even get a reply now from some of them) and while we don't have "representatives", we have a LOT of friendly help available to you, just ask your questions! > > Thanks, > > > Jesús Huitrón > Retorno 102 No. 208 Col.

[ Remainder of obnoxiousness elided. ] Wow. I sure hope I didn't convey the same sense of sarcasm--nay, outright meanness--in my answer as you did in your message. Y'know, you really ought to be careful jumping down someone else's throat for asking a naive question, particularly when it's so simple to search the mailing list archives and determine that, you, too, have asked a few, erm, "uninformed" questions yourself. Just do a search for "osiris2002@yahoo.com" in the mailing list archives, and peruse through the things that pop up. Some of them are quite recent, as a matter of fact. Try remembering what it's like to feel lost and uninformed. And if the frequency of a particular topic starts to annoy you, there's always procmail to filter away messages you don't like. (Oh, and before you congratulate me for *my* message, do please note that I didn't quite get it right, either. As Marc Slemko points out, there *are* some man pages available with Apache, ones the port doesn't install and ones I missed in my search of the source--*despite* my authoritative-sounding statement that they didn't exist.

Don't know about 3.0, but I've upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.1.5 to 2.1.7 to 2.2.2 to 2.2.5--and not lost a single piece of my own data. When you upgrade, you are thrown into the partition editor, but you merely need to mount the existing file systems; you don't need (nor should you necessarily) repartition anything. I'm assuming (without bothering to investigate) that 3.0 uses the same or similar upgrade procedures. If so, you should be safe. Of course, backing up what you value most deeply is always wise before upgrading, since anything can happen. Also, you'll probably want to print out two pieces of information before you begin. 1. Your current hardware configuration (the kernel config file should be sufficient, or the output of dmesg(8) may do as well). If you have anything installed in a place the generic kernel won't find it, you'll need to adjust the kernel's configuration when you boot off the installation floppy. Having the current configuration of your hardware in front of you helps. 2. /etc/fstab, so you don't have to remember which slice maps to which file system. I invariably forget to print them out, and then have to reboot and go get them (while swearing at myself) as soon as I get to the partition editor during the upgrade. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done. -- Fred Allen From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 4 19:22:40 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA24215 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 19:22:40 -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 TAA24206 for ; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 19:22:34 -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 WAA03389; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 22:17:29 -0500 (EST) Received: from current.willscreek.com (current.willscreek.com [172.16.87.1]) by WillsCreek.COM (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA03725; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 22:22:26 -0500 (EST) Received: (from bmc@localhost) by current.willscreek.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) id WAA12293; Sun, 4 Jan 1998 22:22:25 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 4 Jan 1998 22:22:25 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199801050322.WAA12293@current.willscreek.com> From: Brian Clapper MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: jak@cetlink.net (John Kelly) Cc: "Daniel \"The Bruce\" Keller" , "FreeBSD Questions List" Subject: Re: Natd only works one way?

Now the CVSUP is excellent and intelligent enough to speedup to 'whatever' version you like. Much more faster than re-downloading the whole GANG. Now to be more accurate, you have to read some docs to figure out which collections you want to cvsup, eg. for all sources, or only crypto stuff, or add www pages, etc.... The difference between one and the othre option is the same difference between the east and wes coasts of USA. so be careful.

It is far simpler.... Sounds like you only have 640x480 resolution, I have this problem on my laptop with Netscape and Mosaic and their ilk. use the xterm -geom XXXXxXXX option how? shrink the xterm to the correct size, open another xterm and run xwininfo, click on your shrunken xterm and the geomtry will be printed out for you.

It's Real Simple :-) To set just the time, say to 3:14 pm, enter # date 1514 Note the # prompt (you must be root), and the 24 hour clock. If you want to set the date as well, say to January 7, you *must* specify the time as well: # date 01071514 Then, you can set the year too: # date 9701071514 Sorry, you can't (currently) specify all four digits of the year. That's not that serious: for example, to set the year to 2002, you can enter: # date 0201071514 OK?

I was seeing the same thing over the holidays on my Lance-based (79C960) Allied Telesyn AT1500 ISA NIC. The fix was to turn off: CHIPSET GLOBAL FEATURES in the Award BIOS on my Asus P55T2P4 MB. Now I get the 1.1 MByte/sec transfer rate this card is supposed to deliver. What this setting is exactly and "why" this works is an open question though. It's probably something related to DMA as: I see this slowdown in multiple OSs, an NE2000 clone (IRQ, no DMA) works fine in the same slot on the same IRQ (multiple OSs), and I found a DejaNews post of a Gravis Ultrasound owner failing to get Ultrasound DMA working unless this BIOS option was disabled. Asus/Award seem to be aware of some problems with having this option enabled as the 205 P55T2P4 BIOS has this option disabled by default, but previous BIOS versions and ASUS docs have it enabled.

From the FreeBSD date(1) man page: -f Use fmt as the format string to parse the date provided rather than using the default [[[[yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.ss] format. Parsing is done using strptime(3).

It also sounds like something a Spammer wants to do. I'm not good enough at sendmail rules to help. But, I wanted to say, that you should probably update your sendmail.cf file. You are running a cf file made from 8.6.12. That's bad. You're loosing many of the advantages of 8.8.5 using such an old cf file. The 8.8.5 distribution makes it very easy to make a new cf file with the m4 macros. -- MGB - British Racing Green on Top Castrol and Gerling green on the bottom - Peter Egan From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 5 07:40:15 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA11460 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 07:40:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from www.dancooks.com (www.dancooks.com [204.180.122.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA11455 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 07:40:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jason@www.dancooks.com) Received: from localhost (jason@localhost) by www.dancooks.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id JAA14834 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 09:44:47 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from jason@www.dancooks.com) Date: Mon, 5 Jan 1998 09:44:46 -0600 (CST) From: Jason Hudgins To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: inetd coredumps repeatedly?

Yes I have reviewed this but it falls short of describing what to do after: 5. Drop user in a shell so that they may perform that merge before rebooting into the new system. What merge is necessary at this point? Is there a command that is run from this mini shell that does it or do you need to manually update certain files? Which ones? The documentation is good up to this point but I think there needs to be a check list of what to do from here while in the single-user-mode shell. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Well, what to say other then I did have a working apache site before reading anything, but a book I was flipping through referred me to the docs. But that's not important here. Anyway, I realize that I frequent this list often and would be dead in the water without it. If I do something that some people feel is inappropriate or just plane annoying I would welcome a polite, private e-mail explaining what I am doing wrong since I am new and likely to make mistakes. But this type of attack is just plain mean and uncalled for. In my defense I only posted the question once, the other posts where CC'd threads between my and some other people and I only CC'd them because most other posters do that. Maybe you feel that my questions are not of a level worthy of being CC'd to this list but I do it anyway on the off chance that I am not the only person that started using a new OS and didn't already know exactly how to use it! Maybe, just maybe some other users may benefit from me asking these questions and at least they wont have to put up with being harassed for asking. Anyway, thanks Sue Blake and Brian Clapper for standing up for me. This is all I'm going to say about this. - Mr. Geoffrey From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 5 09:45:17 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA22892 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 09:45:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from csrlink.net (sallybrown.csrlink.net [206.228.89.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA22873 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 09:45:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rknebel@csrlink.net) Received: from home (pm3bl1-19.csrlink.net [207.44.9.20]) by csrlink.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA00054 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 12:45:00 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199801051745.MAA00054@csrlink.net> X-Sender: rknebel@mail.csrlink.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Date: Mon, 05 Jan 1998 12:43:17 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Rick Knebel Subject: sendmail Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I use a local ISP for my internet connection and am struggling with getting my headers right in my from lines and being able to post to freebsd-questions without having it rejected.

Think about the fact that both the mail reception program (mail) and your mailer, ELM, have to have access to your mail queue. If they get in there at the same time, doing different things to the file, they corrupt the file. This happens most often (in my experience) when someone is trying to mount their mail spool directory via NFS, which has broken file locking in most architectures (including FreeBSD).

Depends somewhat on your reasons to wait. I don't see any strong ones. 3.0 is going to be improved over 2.2.5, as 2.2.5 was improved over 2.2.2, but 3.0 isn't imminent. The cost of the CD isn't all that much, and 2.2.5 is a pretty solid release, judging by the lack of complaints.

This caused files rwcd0a and rwcd0c to show up in /dev. wcd0a and wcd0c were already there. 3) I executed the mount command as follows: # mount -r -t msdos /dev/wcd0a /cdrom 4) The following error message resulted: atapi0.1: invalid data direction wcd0: I/O error, status=51,error=0 After this even the manual tray ejection button is disabled - I have to power off/power on the computer to get it to work again. This is happening on two separate machines, an IBM Aptiva and an IBM ThinkPad. I don't know positively but I am assuming both CD drives are IDE based (machines are 166MZ and 133MZ Pentiums, respectively). At any rate, the kernel is successfully detecting the drive(s) as previously mentioned. I'll appreciate any advice I receive to resolve this.

To all you good people, I am very sorry. Few things here worth mentioning; 1. I am a BIG NEWBIE myself. 2. I Love this list very much. 3. I do respect other people comments and postings 4. I did not mean to be that MEAN. 5. I was happy to hear that Mr. Geoffry did manage to install the httpd server. 6. I try to help all other users that are newbier than me.(or at least who seem to be that). 7. I was NOT intending to start a useless WAR. 8. I would never mean to push 'or pull' any user. Finally, thanks to all people who tried to correct the unjust situation, and stand up for the innocent users. Now lets keep this list as clean as possible. NB. If I get 'private' email from TEN users or more stating that I am NOT welcome anymore on this list, I will stay off, and if you want to be FAIR, check ALL the messages I have sent before to this list before doing such a post. Greetings. == MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I have a web server Apache 1.2.4 running on a FreeBSD machine. Its in the intranet and acts as a proxy caching server to the firewall machine. HTTP is proxied properly. FTP is not. I can log in and browse the FTP site but can't download any binary file. There seems to be some problem with the Mime type configuration and hence the binary files are considered as text files. Any one has a work around? HTTPS also is not proxied. I know that there is a patch available for including SSL in Apache. But I need to only proxy and adding this patch and compiling SSL is a tedious and confusing process. Is there any way I can proxy https://* to a specified machine with having to add SSL to Apache?

It did not recognize the free space om my hard disk (reduced the size of the DOS primary partition using PartitionMagic leaving 900 MB of free space). I thought it was because one of my logical drives in the DOS extended partition was FAT32. However, I also used PartitionMagic to convert my FAT32 into FAT16 and tried again to install FreeBSD. Same result! My PC has a Promise Technology Inc. ULTRA33 IDE controller. Could this be the cause of the problems ? I know for sure that it prevents me from installing Linux (confirmed by Red Hat and Promise Technology). Regards, Joris.

I am a beginner at FreeBSD and have some questions concerning logging on to my ISP. I currently have the FreeBSD 2.2.2 CD from Walnut Creek. I have installed the OS without any real problems. I tried to dial in using by US Robotics X2 on Com2 using the PPP->term->atdt commands. It would dial in fine, and give me an IP address. When I push "alt-F2" to go to my other terminal screen, and tried to ping yahoo.com, I would get a "no route to host" error message. Same thing happens to every ping, ftp, and traceroute I would attempt. The only configuration I have made to my modem is through the /stand/sysinstall utility. My ISP does dynamix IP addressing, so I put .lvdi.net under the host name (lvdi.net is my ISP's domain). Do you people have any idea what i should do to connect properly? Can you be specific in your answers? I would really appreciate any help, as my UNIX education would greatly expand once I get internet access through my UNIX OS. Thank you very much for your time.

I've been using wine to run the Windows NT version of the Motorola DSP assemblers with considerable success. The console-mode code is not complete enough to run the simulator, but at least now I can edit and make from unix. Unfortunately the Domain Technologies Link-56k in-circuit emulator/debugger does not run in the version I'm running (970720), probably because it does naughty serial port stuff, so I still have to boot to windows to do real development. Gnnagh! (Note: the DOS version of the Moto assemblers doesn't even work under DOS some of the time: help line response: use the NT version...) The windows version of the Microchip PIC16c622 assembler works well too. This isn't a command line thing: it pops up a little progress meter window, which is kind of neat. Word-6 runs pretty well. Well enough to read documents e-mailed by the uninformed, anyway. Apart from development tools such as the ones I've mentioned, there isn't anything that I need windows for, so I don't need Wine any more than that. -- Andrew "The steady state of disks is full." -- Ken Thompson From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 5 16:25:12 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA01505 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:25:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA01491 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:25:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from maniattb@cs.rpi.edu) Received: from cs.rpi.edu (root@fred.cs.rpi.edu [128.213.8.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.6/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA05713 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:19:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from glob.cs.rpi.edu (maniattb@glob.cs.rpi.edu [128.213.8.37]) by cs.rpi.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA11992 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 19:22:18 -0500 (EST) From: Bill Maniatty Received: (from maniattb@localhost) by glob.cs.rpi.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA19300 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.com; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 19:24:40 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 5 Jan 1998 19:24:40 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199801060024.TAA19300@glob.cs.rpi.edu> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.com (Free BSD Questions list) Subject: FreeBSD and Education/RAMDisk Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello All: I am in the process of revising the curriculum for a course I teach here at Rennselear (Senior level Operating Systems) which is an upper division computer science undergraduate course and a lower division undergraduate course. Since this is my first posting to the mailing lists (I intend to also post this to usenet too) please let me know the correct mailing lists for this sort of discussion and feel free to forard this to (or point ot to me) any people who might be especially useful to discuss this with. We have a pool of FreeBSD machines in our department suitable for systems programming (i.e. students can occasionally crash them without it being the end of the world). I tried to do a brief literature search and found the nice McKusick et. al. ``The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System'', and Uresh Valhalia's guide as well as some on line sources, but none giving a sort of tutorial on how to do what I would like to do. In any event I was thinking about developing a series of projects spanning most of the term involving the FreeBSD systems software as follows: (1) A Virtual Memory RAM Disk device (raw/unformatted) (2) Imposing a (possibly existing) local file system on top of the RAM Disk from (1) (3) Support file level and byte level locking of (2) (4) Permit multithreaded remote access (perhaps via a library) to (3). This might involve adding thread safe semaphores. Some general questions I have are: (i) Is this a reasonable project overview (too hard/easy)? (ii) Am I missing some important systems software details? (iii) Is there a better series of projects that could be done? Some near term unresolved issues in the existing plan are: (1) A Virtual Memory RAM Disk device (raw/unformatted) (a) What are the steps for creating a virtual memory device driver for a RAM Disk (have people done this)? (i) Which files need to modified. (ii) Can it be done in a stepwise fashion? (iii) Does this need to be done in the kernel? (iv) Is there a good overview of the 4.4 BSD internals? An overview of the big picture would help here. (b) What is the mechanism for allocating the virtual memory segment for the RAM Disk (Does it need to done in the Kernel)? (c) Other important questions that I am missing. In the longer term I could use tutorials on putting a file system on a raw device and some of the other issues also.

Well, FreeBSD should certainly run, whether XFree86 will is another question. What kind of chipset does it have? Run SuperProbe to find out.

Try the latest ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. If it's still dumping, I'd be interested in a stack trace. To get the stack trace, you'll need to rebuild ppp with CFLAGS+=-g STRIP= at the end of the Makefile (in the ppp directory), and once installed, you'll need to # chmod 555 /usr/sbin/ppp then run ppp as root. The core should appear in the directory that you started ppp from. Once you have the core, do # gdb /usr/sbin/ppp ppp.core ..... (gdb) bt [record the output] (gdb) f 0 [record the output] (gdb) list [record the output] You may also want to print the value of any variables involved: (gdb) p thisvar etc. Send-pr is probably the best way to do report your findings,but you can post here or directly to me if you like. > Randy Wyatt > please respond to me personally as I am not on the questions list > Cheers. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

There's some information in the online handbook. To get much use out of it, you should recompile inetd with debugging symbols: # make clean all install clean CFLAGS=-g When you get the dump, start with something like: # gdb /usr/sbin/inetd inetd.core (gdb) dir /usr/src/usr.sbin/inetd (gdb) l (this will list where it died) (gdb) bt (this will show how it got there) > and unfortunatly the /var/log/messages just got turned over, its got a > total of two lines in it at the moment..

It's saying: /usr/local/sbin/identd: No such file or directory inetd is trying to run it. Do you want to run identd? The closest I can get to that is pidentd in the Ports Collection. If you don't want to run it, find the following line in /etc/inetd.conf: ident stream tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120 and change it to: # ident stream tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120 In other words, comment it out. Then send a SIGHUP to inetd: # ps aux | grep inetd root 16150 0.0 0.5 264 460 p5 S+ 12:00PM 0:00.02 grep inetd root 117 0.0 0.1 252 64 ??

Once you get it to work then you can try new stuff. Some suggestions: 1) Use VGA16 server (SVGA may imply resolutions above 640x480) 2) If it still doesn't work try 50Mhz setting for the monitor (Or whatever option 1 is on that list :-)). 3) If still doesn't work leave RAMDAC and clock setting unset and let XF86Config come up with the values.

I don't know if you saw my note to Norman, but you'll need my version of upsd that is modified with 120 volt values. You can fetch it from ftp://gdi.uoregon.edu/pub/upsd-2.0.1.6.1.tgz. The README has some very short notes and sample/upsd.conf.120v is the one I use. For the actual values, you may need to fish them out of my apc_static.c. I want to play with upsd some more, but in the future it'll become a release proper.

The carriage return after your login name isn't coming through. Check your terminal settings. Try hitting without entering any username, you should get another login: prompt.

If they're in high-intensity, they're coming from the kernel, so you'll have to shut up the kernel to quiet the messages. Kernel messages aren't reroutable using syslogd; they always go on the console.

If your virtual screen size is larger than your monitor, you can adjust this with xvidtune somewhat. Be careful not to exceed your monitor's specifications. Read the man pages for xvidtune and xterm. I have a 15" monitor but the virtual screen is almost 23". You can "scroll" to the hidden portions by moving the mouse pointer to the edge in the direction you wish to go. Some people find this very irritating and it does take some getting used to, but I've grown to like it. It depends on whether your monitor, video card, and xserver combination can support this.

FreeBSD should pick up the settings and configure itself accordingly. I don't have any experience in 100mbit mode, though, check the mail archives. The 3c90x series is plagued by having too little on-board buffer space. If you need 100mbit you might find more luck in a 100mbit DEC-based card, like a Kingston, Dayna, or others.

Let me clearly display my ignorance by explaining what I think is going on as a way of documenting what would be cool to have for inclusion into the FAQ's on NATD/FreeBSD. Network: 10.0.0.0/8 --- ([ED1] FreeBSD Box [ED0]) --- The Internet IPFW Rules (Im creating these in the fly so they could be syntactically incorrect, but I think the design is correct): 100 allow all from any to any via lo0 200 divert 6668 all from any to any via ed0 300 allow all from THISHOST to any 310 allow all from any to THISHOST 400 allow all from 10.1.0.0/16 to any 500 allow all from 10.0.0.0/8 to INETPROXY 510 allow all from INETPROXY to 10.0.0.0/8 6500 deny all from any to any Netstat -r: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default MYINETIP UGSc 31 6956351 ed0 10 link#2 UC 0 0 10.0.0.1 0:0:c0:e1:d0:5c UHLW 0 196 lo0 10.255.255.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 0 107 ed1 localhost localhost UH 11 7600 lo0 A user on host 10.0.0.2 issues a ping for INETPROXY. The ping packet is picked up by interface ed1. The packet is processed by (IPFW first?) which tools on through the list ipfw rules. This packet is matched by rule 500, and is then passed onto the (FreeBSD network core?) which decides the packet needs to be routed through interface ed0 as the default gateway. The packet is again processed by the IPFW rules as it passes into ed0, this time rule 200 matches the packet.. NATD see's this is a packet destined for the internet (HOW does it know??) and replaces 10.0.0.2 with MYINETIP. Then the packet is readback into the firewall code.. The packet then matches ruleset 300 and is passed back to the FreeBSD network code, which sends it out ed0. The ping reply is then processed inbound on ed0 by the ipfw rules.. Rule 200 again matches and the packet is sent to Natd which replaces the destination IP with 10.0.0.2, and sends it back to the firewall code, which allows it to pass on rule 510.. Then back to the FreeBSD network code, which determines the packet needs to be sent out interface ed1... Back into the firewall rules, again the packet is passed through based on rule 510. Back into FreeBSD's network code which burps the packet out ed1... So, how much of this is correct, and how much is fantasy made to fit my perception of reality? :) -Crh Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@msu.edu http://pilot.msu.edu/~henrich From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 5 20:09:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA23565 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 20:09:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from kiwi.futuris.net (root@kiwi.futuris.net [198.68.185.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA23549 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 20:09:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jspringr@futuris.net) Received: from arnie (jspringr1.eclipse.net [207.207.207.34]) by kiwi.futuris.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA23701 for ; Mon, 5 Jan 1998 23:07:56 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <34B1AD70.FE2@futuris.net> Date: Mon, 05 Jan 1998 23:05:04 -0500 From: Jeffrey Springer Reply-To: jspringr@futuris.net Organization: JS/FM Software, Inc.

Try this: dump 0uabf 10 /dev/nrst0 / dump 0uabf 10 /dev/nrst0 /var dump 0uabf 10 /dev/rst0 /usr This dump sequence runs the backups end-to-end and rewinds the tape at the end. You may need to adjust the blocksize (`10') so that your tape streams. We run it over a network and 10 keeps the tape happy, but you may need a larger blocksize for a local tape. The SCSI tape device is /dev/rst0, but there are some options. I suggest reading the man pages for dump(8), st(4), and checking the mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html.

Did you check /cdrom and made sure that the CD was mounted properly? The CD drivers all lock the eject button to keep you from ejecting the CD without the system knowing and causing a panic. When you unmount the device (with umount) the eject button will work. Try removing the -r option, it's implied on CD devices.

Upgrading gcc is not an easy task. There are lots of custom hacks in it. It's a _lot_ easier to just upgrade the entire OS while you're at it.

I've heard some people say "FreeBSD networking code is better/more stable". I've heard some people say "Linux is more of a hackers OS and FreeBSD is better organized" (not a real technical reason but probably true). I've been using Linux for a few years, mainly because at the time it had the drivers for everything in my PC at the time. Now it appears FreeBSD may have everything I need. Should I switch? :) Thanks, Lee McKenna lee@iloop.com Oh yeah...will be using it for Apache, DNS, Sendmail, plus one or two other machines for general purpose "desktop"...nothing real industrial, rather simple I would say...

One question. I have: - 2.2.2-RELEASE - HP Vectra VL5XX Box *Daily upgrades on the BIOS kinda thing..[B. At the install stage were it said "Would you like to use a true partition entry..." I said "No"... HP doesn't have the ability to load the OS cause the lacking MBR... So I use a bootable floppy that when the bootloader comes up I type my drive/file and it boots fine. Now I suppose I could re-install, but it's a Critical system. Can't afford another shut-down. Besides, I got the box configured the way I like it! (Scripts, etc...) Is there a way to tell the bootloader to go to the device/file automatically? #freebsd told me about configuring a boot.conf file, which sounds great to me... Hmmmm, is that hidden? Not a standard (for me) file that I can just vi eh? I'm quite happy to rely on my UPS to keep it from failing in a blackout, but it's a real pain when I would love to reboot from home and can't cause there's no one on console to type wd(0,a)/kernel. It's not critical to answer this one soon. I really love FreeBSD, keep up the good work you guys. Robert.

You need to setup the mime types on the proxy (either with AddType or the mime.types file) to call the appropriate things binary. Apache must default to text because otherwise the readme files with two million different names would not be readable. Your browser normally has some way to say to save a file to disk even if the mime type doesn't say it is binary; eg. holding down shift while selecing the link. > > HTTPS also is not proxied.

That does not generally work due to things like certificate authentication, it being dumb to trust the proxy, etc. What you need is for the web server to support the CONNECT method, which allows the client's connection to pass through to the server. This is done automatically and supported by most newer clients. What client are you using? What happens when you try? Do you have any extra directives in your config file that may be impacting this?

Yes, it is a better choice for high-use proxies than Apache. The Apache proxy module works reasonably in many situations, however it has limitations and very ugly code.

FreeBSD only runs on one platform, the PC. Supposedly a port is in the works for Digital Alpha, but I have no idea on the status of it. NetBSD works on 68k Macs, Linux will work on Powermacs.

It sounds very good as far as features and stability. My system is a dual processor Pentium with a Tyan 1462 motherboard. I downloaded the test floppy and so far all seems really very nice. The only 3 questions I have are the following: * Does FreeBSD support multi-processor architecture? What are the limitations? (Does the OS farm out threads automatically, or is dependent on the program?) Does your standard C/C++ compiler come with the necessary headers etc. to write SMP-aware applications? * I use Warp Server 4.0 as my standard OS. Is there support for reading HPFS partitions? Do FreeBSD and OS/2 coexist in a friendly fashion on the same system? * I also use System Commander to manage multiple boot configurations. You maintain that multiple boot configurations are allowed, but as near as I can tell, I must use your loader to do this. If you have no direct knowledge of System Commander, then the alternate question to ask is this: Are there any limitations on the installation partition, specifically, can FreeBSD be installed to an extended logical partition, or must it be installed to a primary partition. If it must be installed to a primary partition, does this have to be on the first physical drive (like SCO Unix)? Thank you very much for your time. FreeBSD, with its cross Unix compatibility and features really does look quite excellent. I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Sincerely, Jeffrey J.

I think you're mixing up FreeBSD with NetBSD. FreeBSD currently only runs on i386 machines (though an Alpha port and a Sparc port are both under some type of initial development). NetBSD is the BSD derivative that's been ported to the largest number of platforms. > > ______________________________________________ > Jack Holloway, holloway@midusa.net > http://kjweb.home.ml.org > "No electrons were harmed in the sending of this e-mail." > ______________________________________________ Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 6 01:20:20 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA19911 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:20:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from alpo.whistle.com (alpo.whistle.com [207.76.204.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA19893 for ; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:20:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from julian@whistle.com) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by alpo.whistle.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA09518; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:14:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from UNKNOWN(), claiming to be "current1.whistle.com" via SMTP by alpo.whistle.com, id smtpd009514; Tue Jan 6 01:14:24 1998 Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:11:24 -0800 (PST) From: Julian Elischer To: "J.

SMP is a 'work in progress' you can use SMP on any "intel standard" SMP machine. If multiple processes are running they will be scheduled to different processors. The Threads support doesn not YET make use of the SMP, but that is coming. (People are working on it) present pthreads support is a 'userland' threads only impimentation till the other work completes. > > * I use Warp Server 4.0 as my standard OS.

From a user's perspective, you should find that the systems have a very similar user interface - most if not all of the shells available for one system are also available for the other. FreeBSD is popular in Portland - popular at Portland State (being used in some OS courses), and with two of the FreeBSD Project's founders living in the suburbs. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 6 01:35:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA21852 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:35:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA21823 for ; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:35:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hallgren@viking.easynet.fr) Received: from viking.easynet.fr (viking.easynet.fr [195.114.64.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.6/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA09271 for ; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 01:30:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (hallgren@localhost) by viking.easynet.fr (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA19675; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 10:36:18 +0100 (CET) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 10:36:17 +0100 (CET) From: Michael Hallgren To: Stan Brown cc: Free BSD Questions list Subject: Re: Which group do I need to add myelf to, in order to su to root?

I didn't explain clearly enough. (My fault!) The printer is attached to a Win95 machine. I want to use samba and apsfilter on FreeBSD to print to that printer.

The benefits are great, including faster print speed, being able to use the FreeBSD box for print spooling, and being able to easily access the printer from remote sites (home). I have used the Intel netports successfully in similar applications and the "customer" has been very impressed with the performance. Of course, this implies experience with the parallel port method where the office shares the resources of their Win95 box. BTW. Hopefully, your customer doesn't get headaches from the laser printer fumes -- believe me it happens, however, it's more prevalent with the color lasers and lasers with energy saving power modes. -- Regards, Norman C.

However, what do you mean by DNS outage? [I would have a very short career if it was going out regularly :-) ], We do have T1 access, and DNS (multiple FreeBSD 2.2.2 boxes supporting 2000 corporate users, rock solid I might add) has given us no problems. I would agree the the lookup is failing, but why? Does sendmail timeout (maybe some sendmail.cf pararmeter?) on the lookup, where as a manual nslookup doesn't? I know there are a lot of variables that can effect DNS, but any pointers would be appreciated. Please reply directly.

Date: Tue, 06 Jan 1998 10:04:14 -0500 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was just running some tests on pppd here, between two Pentium Pro 200s connected via NULL-modem cable (via 16550). I ran pppd with -bsdcomp, crtscts, at 115200 baud. Once the ppp link was up, I FTP'ed some files across the link. The results I found were: File Size Created By Contains K/s minicomp.cap 5819576 Com. Prog. Capture Text 10.72 tcpip.flp 1474560 dd Disk Image 9.71 termcap.db 1212416 FreeBSD dist. Termcap DB 7.66 This, to me, seems a bit odd, but I've run the test several times. Other, more realworld tests (involving modems, different platforms - including some test scenarios that did not involve FreeBSD at all- , etc) have yielded results from 4.5K/s to as high as 11.03K/s. I firmly believe things like filesize and timing have little to do with it, as I've halfed, doubled, and tripled the sizes of all the files above (with EXACT results), run the files from MFS as well as the local disks (again, same results), made sure the systems were similarly busy, and made sure nothing was swapping. Anyone care explain to me why, when compression should not be involved, that I can't get throughput that collates with bps rate (ie - if I can get 10.72 at 115200, why can't the other two files even come close?)?

I am having problems with a couple of FreeBSD boxes and was searching for some answers. Users are complaining about extremely slow FTP logins. I've run some tests myself and come up with the same results as my users. When connecting to the FTP port on my server, I can enter my username and be immediately prompted for a password. When I enter my password, there will be a 3-5 minute pause before it verifies and allows me access to the system. Once logged in, there are no more delays and the FTP session performs as expected. The problem is that most of my users use M$ Win95 based FTP clients which croak on the long pause after entering the password. Any help on the problem would be appreciated. Let me tell you a little about our network (in order to give you a more full picture of what is going on). My servers operated on a dedicated T1 to MCI which is not heavily loaded, and all of my users come in through this connection. Most users connect from various dial-up providers from across the US, but I've already ruled out the possibility of general "netlag" causing the problems. The problem existed even while accessing the server on internal 10MB ethernet connections. I have experienced this problem on servers running both v2.2.1 and v2.2.2 of FreeBSD.

ODBC isn't a generic database frontend, unfortunately.

His system is a production telnet & mail server for his organization, and this message fouls up the protocols (ftp & pop especially), causing many problems. inetd.c doesn't even call realloc(3), though, and there's only one unchecked memory allocation, a strdup(3) near the end of the source that doesn't look like it could be related to the problem. /etc/inetd.conf is fine, as is /etc/services.

Exactly the problem I had. My solution was to use the non-GUI xconfig program. Took some library work to get the monitor/video card details, but, whatever the problem the GUI config had with the mouse doesn't hinder the functioning of Xwindows. (as described above, I enabled the psm0 driver. I did not load the Xwindows stuff with the initial FreeBSD installation. After seeing that all was working properly, I used /stand/sysconfig to install Xwindows. Back at the command-line, I did the textmode configuration.)

Will this impact future installs? I'm not Doug, but I want to butt in ... the latest'n'greatest gcc will doubtless install the ELF linking system utilities, which will fail miserably on his system. If he doesn't have his old one still there, he'll be badly hosed. FreeBSD's default tools are a.out based, which isn't supported by the gnu tools. That means that every time the compiler stuff is brought into the base system, a lot of work has to go in, so that our tools work with the c compiler. The gnu binutils DON'T work for FreeBSD, and any attempt to make them work will fail. There is work being done in current to move FreeBSD over to using ELF. Currently, ELF linked executeables CAN work in FreeBSD-current, the stumbling block is in loading an elf linked kernel. That too can be done, actually, so maybe I should say that the stumbling block really is getting EITHER an a.out linked kernel or a ELF linked one to work, compatibly. The point is, Doug's advice is dead bang on. If you install the latest'n'greatest from gnu, you better be REAL intelligent with regards to linking problems, and compatibility with your other system stuff. If you're not real sure what you're doing, you're going to get a chance to reinstall your FreeBSD system, whether you planned to or not. > > Lee > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 6 10:37:40 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA09051 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 10:37:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from freebie.brann.org (doorman.brann.org [166.84.191.154]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA08997; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 10:37:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jbrann@freebie.brann.org) Received: (from jbrann@localhost) by freebie.brann.org (8.8.8/8.8.7) id NAA00671; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 13:35:44 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jbrann) From: John Brann Message-Id: <199801061835.NAA00671@freebie.brann.org> Subject: Re: Problems with sound card In-Reply-To: from Doug White at "Jan 5, 98 07:19:19 pm" To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 13:35:44 -0500 (EST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org, multimedia@freebsd.org Organisation: Not while I'm at home 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 Doug White wrote... > Bouncing this on over to multimedia where the sound gurus live :-) > > On Sat, 3 Jan 1998, John Brann wrote: > > > I have an ancient SoundBlaster Pro in my machine.

I've used this historically with success. I have a sneaking suspicion about what's wrong. I think maybe I've got the wrong IRQ set in the kernel for this card. I re-built my kernel config file from scratch for 2.2.5 (it dated back to 2.0.5...) and I may have had a brain fart in the process. I'll have to open the box to look at the jumpers on the card. I'm suspicious about this because I wouldn't expect anything to work (remember, I can play '.au' files) if the interrupt was wrong, but I'll let you know.

There is a makefile variable called "DISTDIR" that controls where the system goes hunting for your files. It defaults to /usr/ports/distfiles, which is where I stick things that I download manually. You can easily override this by using an environmental variable (set it in your .cshrc to whereever you want it to go). There is more configurability than you might imagine in the ports system. Even if you're not a makefile whiz, you can read the comments in the top of /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk and find out how you can customize things to be just how you'd like them. There are a lot of well crafted comments in there that lead you around. > please email response > thanks in advance > Robert > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 6 12:52:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA19847 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 12:52:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from send1b.yahoomail.com (send1b.yahoomail.com [205.180.60.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id MAA19781 for ; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 12:51:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jservice@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <19980106205109.516.rocketmail@send1b.yahoomail.com> Received: from [192.75.134.6] by send1b; Tue, 06 Jan 1998 12:51:09 PST Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 12:51:09 -0800 (PST) From: James R R Service Reply-To: jservice@oht.hydro.on.ca Subject: Can I speed up probing the second hard disk controller?

That's what prompted me to try the other methods in hopes of getting it to work. I did find out what the actual problem was. I didn't RTFM! In the entry, an option was included: -maproot=something -access=something. I guess -access wasn't an option and so mountd considered the whole entry as being invalid without saying so. Removing the -access option did the job. If only the UNIX community was a little more standardized... :) Thanks for the quick response! -- William T.

I am an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. As part of my research I have generated a rather extensive list of robustness bugs for a number of commercial operating systems as well as FreeBSD. (We're talking 20,000 of bugs scattered throughout about half the POSIX functions we tested, although it would be no surprise if there are far fewer software defects that are actually root causes). You can get an idea of my research from http://www.ices.cmu.edu/ballista -- although the information at that web site is not the latest and greatest. Because this is unpublished data, and because of the large volume of data involved, it is probably not a smart idea (and I don't have the time) to just submit a huge pile of bug reports when I publish the final data. Additionally, I am willing to extend to you the courtesy of giving you access to the information before my research results are published. But, in exchange, I request a simple promise that you won't publish the data before I do. What I'd like from this e-mail exchange is a name, title, and address of someone to whom I can send a U.S. Mail letter that describes my data and formalizes my offer to share it with you. I'm not concerned with legal formalities -- I just want the people involved to understand that this information is to be treated with appropriate care. Can we work something out?

Good question. First, you need to know why it's dialling out. Then you can block that particular message from causing a dialout. At a guess, mail is performing a DNS lookup. You can find out for sure with tcpdump. One alternative would then be to change your DNS configuration. But first, let's see what the cause is.

FreeBSD is a virtual memory machine, and will attempt to keep RAM relatively full. That doesn't mean you're in trouble. Without a thorough understanding of the VM system (which I can't give here), the values are pretty meaningless. Having said that, try the programs vmstat, top or systat. Read the man pages for how to use them.

FreeBSD is a virtual memory machine, and will attempt to keep RAM relatively full. That doesn't mean you're in trouble. Without a thorough understanding of the VM system (which I can't give here), the values are pretty meaningless. Having said that, try the programs vmstat, top or systat. Read the man pages for how to use them.

Everything went "almost" flawlessly. Interactive works fine. However, to get ddial to remove its default->127.2.2.2 route and add the default route to the real gateway after negotation, I had to change "delete ALL" to "delete 0" in ppp.linkup. It seems ppp is losing track of the fact that the default route was one it added earlier. BTW, this is with the 971208-SNAP version of ppp, so it's possibly this may have been fixed in the last few weeks.

There's a TIMEOUT define that you can change, then rebuild your kernel. I set it to 2000 on my machines around here, but you'll want to experiment to get a number you can use. It depends on how quickly your IDE devices respond to the probe. Set the number too low, and the device probes might fail on valid devices.

I know sendmail -q will do that but how to make sendmail queue mail instead of sending it right away? I get mail via a little script with fetchmail so just putting in a sendmail -q in it will process the queue I know that. Mostly this bugs me when I'm dialed in repling to mail. If i have pine setup to use the bsd machine as the smtp server, I can send mail and it gets queued then when the connection is up a sendamil -q works fine. Also when in this configuration i cannot send any mail to anyone else that is in my ISP's domain (citytel.net) I get a user unknown error from pine. Why would that be? But change pine to use my ISP as the smtp server, try to send any mail while I'm dialed in pine times out with an unknown server error cause ppp cant dial out. (cause I'm dialed in) and it does not queue mail. And at the moment a sendmail -bp does not work. I issue the command and sendmail just seems to hang, though a ctrl-c stops it. there is nothing in /var/spool/mqueue. I guess what I'm saying is I want to use my ISP as the smtp server in pine, but have it queue mail until such a time a connection is up and I can process the queue with a sendmail -q in my script. I would like to use this so it works both in a dialup and when I'm sitting at the machine. Is this possible? Do I need to change sendmail.cf? After experimenting with a few different ways, I have finally figured out what i want to do and how to word it but not acutally how to put it all together. thanks!

Non-local outgoing mail is supposed to be sent to a Smart Host (jupiter) via uucp. If I send a message to doug@neptune.net (which would be outside the local domain), sendmail queues the message for future delivery. According to both the message header and mailq, the reason for the deferral is: host map: lookup (neptune.net): deferred Which certainly indicates to me that it doesn't know what to do with messages addressed to neptune.net. Applying debug to the Parse1 ruleset, I find that the delivery agent for mail addressed to outside domains is correctly uucp-dom while the delivery agent for local mail is correctly local. First, would someone please verify for me that I should expect that sendmail would not queue the outbound mail but immediately pass it to the uucp delivery agent which should then queue it for the next contact? IOW, in this type of arrangement, the queue for outbound non-local mail is handled by UUCP and not sendmail, correct? Secondly, I would appreciate any thoughts on how to debug this situation. I need to know why the outbound mail is being held in the sendmail queue rather than being passed to the delivery agent (or, looking at it from the other side, why the UUCP delivery agent isn't accepting the outbound mail).

I'm trying to set up my modem on a FBSD2.2.2. I know my modem picks up and dials out because I have tried the modem on my sparc machines. But on FBSD, I am not able to even communicate with the modem. I'm pretty sure that my setup on BSD is correct because of this: 161 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0 When I dial in onto the BSD machine, the AA light blinks, the modem will not answer the call. On my solaris box, the AA light blinks and the modem picks up the ring. I have a USR sportster 33.6K modem. thanks in advance. paulc From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 6 18:45:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id SAA26499 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 18:45:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from argon.linkzone.com (argon.linkzone.com [204.182.59.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id SAA26486 for ; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 18:45:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mlt@linkzone.com) Received: from localhost (mlt@localhost) by argon.linkzone.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA17873; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 18:43:39 -0800 (PST) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 18:43:38 -0800 (PST) From: Mark Turrin To: Studded cc: Brian Clapper , Richard Balue , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Installing . . .

The process is explained very thoroughly. My only concern was that the complexity and time envolved to complete the upgrade. It seems one has to weigh the difference between installing fresh from CD or walking the upgrade tightrope. In many ways a fresh install is so much simpler and faster if one has backups to restore user data from. The sysinstall program spoils you. :-) Thanks for all your efforts. ___________________________________________________________________ Mark L.

I have one Western Digital Cavier 2340 hard drive, a 3œ" and 5Œ" floppy drive, a Stealth Diamond 64 VLB 2 meg video card and a generic Hayes compatible 14.4k modem. The HD Controller is built in on the motherboard and MSD says it using IRQ14. Okay, cool I start the install from floppy disk and get the the Kernel Configuration menu. I choose visual mode. Since I have no SCSI drives I deactivate everything except the floppy disk controller on IRQ6 and the IDE/ESDI/MFM disk controller on IRQ14. I deactivate all network cards and the MS Bus Mouse. I then press Q and Y to save the settings. A few things are displayed on the screen but then disappear to fast for me to see what got found. Anyway, I make it to the Welcome to FreeBSD [2.2.5-Release] menu. I then choose Begin a Novice installation. But two screens later I am presented with the following message: Drives not found. Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time... Since the screen scrolls by too fast, is there a way I can pause to see what exactly it is finding? Any other ideas?

They are FreeBSD 3.0 and 2.2.5 boxes. Our colocation has a good power supply with a backup generator so an UPS is kind of redundant. I don't want to use a phone line to connect to a device which can power cycle machines. I would prefer to telnet into either a FreeBSD box which does nothing or the power cycling device if that is possible. Why? Because we will be moving from our current colocation to a new colocation in the next few weeks and it would be a waste of time and would probably take a few weeks to get the phone line installed. Granted telneting into a FreeBSD box which might itself hang is a single point of failure, but I can live with it. All help, ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated. I've looked around the archives and could only find some advice for a device which one dials into, to remotely power cycle machines. Dave.

But I believe what you want to do is tell sendmail to defer its mail delivery. You can do this by setting the default delivery mode to deferred, ie., you probably have the following line in /etc/sendmail.cf: O DeliveryMode=background Change this to: O DeliveryMode=deferred In /etc/rc.conf, you will want your sendmail_flags line to read: sendmail_flags="-bd" To have your mail queue processed when your link comes up (I am assuming you are using "iijppp") you would add the following to your /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: " !bg /usr/sbin/sendmail -q" To have your mail delivered after fetching it you could use the postconnect command of fetchmail in your .fetchmailrc,. ie., postconnect "/usr/sbin/sendmail -q" Hope this helps. -- Glenn Johnson gljohns@bellsouth.net From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 6 21:32:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA12621 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 21:32:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from server2.explorer.de ([193.227.242.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA12611 for ; Tue, 6 Jan 1998 21:32:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kduaRYvhd@sprynet.com) From: kduaRYvhd@sprynet.com Received: from i6YW2Et8J ([204.237.182.115]) by server2.explorer.de (Netscape Mail Server v1.1) with SMTP id AAJ311; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 05:49:54 +0100 DATE: 06 Jan 98 8:52:33 PM Message-ID: TO: sound-of-music@sound-of-music-1234u.com SUBJECT: Season Greetings From The 'Sound Of Music Palace' Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON The most unique venue of its kind, situated in Salzburg - Austria, the very heart of Europe, welcomes you.

When I need to use the console while physically in front of the machine, I just plug the serial cable into a laptop. The remote console machine also has an internal modem that I hacked to function as a reset switch whenever it goes off hook to dial - I use this to reset wcarchive if necessary. I have a watchdog process running on the remote console which pings wcarchive every minute or so, and if the pings start failing, wcarchive is automatically reset (I have a kermit dialout script for this :-)). ...

This I do not do, and I would like to know more about the watchdog process and how you do the auto reset. And how did you hack an internal modem to act as a reset switch?

ALso check the FAQ on www.freebsd.org and it seems the procedure of building kernel has not been changed anyway. Would someone be able to comment on this at all ?

It was quite easy for me to do, but the level of difficulty will depend on your ability to use a soldering iron and knowledge of electronics. What I did was reconfigure the hook relay so that the switch simply shorts the tip/ring wires rather than connect them to the isolation transformer. It took about 10 minutes, most of which was trying to figure out where the traces ran on the multilayer circuit board. Configured this way, I just plug a regular RJ11 modular cable in as the 'phone line', with the other end of the cable hooked up to the reset contacts on wcarchive's motherboard (actually, it's wired in parallel with the reset switch so that it can be manually reset as well). >Pings would be difficult for me because of our configuration it looks like >machines are up all the time. We use a product called BigIP from >f5.com. It does fancy load-balancing like the Cisco LocalDirector. > >However some sort of ping to port 23 would work for me. Hmmm. Can you configure the thing to pass ICMP echo request/reply through to the real host? If not, then you'd need to write something to do a TCP or UDP test on a special port. In any case, my script on the remote console is: (Warning: I'm not a shell programmer! Looking at the following my cause permanent brain damage! :-)) .......the watchdog #!/bin/sh while true ; do if (! ping -s 8 -c 1 165.113.121.81 > /dev/null 2>&1) && (! ping -s 8 -c 1 165.113.121.81 > /dev/null 2>&1) && (! ping -s 8 -c 1 165.113.121.81 > /dev/null 2>&1) && (! ping -s 8 -c 15 165.113.121.81 > /dev/null 2>&1) && (ping -s 8 -c 5 165.113.121.82 > /dev/null 2>&1) && (! ping -s 8 -c 5 165.113.121.81 > /dev/null 2>&1) ; then ./resetwc-wait ; fi sleep 60 done .......resetwc-wait #!/bin/sh echo `date` Resetting wcarchive >> log kermit reset.kerm < /dev/null > /dev/null sleep 900 .......and the kermit script, reset.kerm set line /dev/cuaa2 set modem hayes dial 1 ....... ...this is a hack, of course. The idea is to attempt several single pings so that packet loss and short term (a few second) network problems don't result in a machine reset. The second to last ping command on the .82 address was added recently: it's the IP address of the Cisco on the other end of the fast ethernet cable. I was having a problem with wcarchive getting reset every time our ISP rebooted their router (rare, but it happened more than once in the last 2 years)...so now I make sure that the remote console gets a response from the router before assuming that wcarchive is down. Ideally, I'd have the remote console and wcarchive connect to a switch and not involve any other hardware; this is planned in the future. After resetting the machine, it waits 15 minutes before resuming the watchdog - this gives the machine plenty of time to do filesystem checks and come back online. Of course, I have to disable the watchdog whenever I want to reboot the machine for maintanence purposes. >> It's never been necessary to power cycle the machine, and considering how >> much hardware is involved, that's a good thing. :-) > >I know it is a bad thing.

I've actually had a fair number of problems getting all the hardware up to speed after a power failure, so reset is definately prefered over power cycling if it can be arranged. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 7 00:20:02 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA26704 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 00:20:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from silverback.gorilla.net (silverback.gorilla.net [208.128.8.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id AAA26651 for ; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 00:19:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from tom@gorilla.net) Received: from ygordial038.gorilla.net (ygordial038.gorilla.net [208.143.84.38]) by silverback.gorilla.net (NTMail 3.03.0014/18.aaac) with ESMTP id xa025347 for ; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 02:19:50 -0600 Received: (from tom@localhost) by gorilla.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA00557; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 02:19:43 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from tom) Message-ID: <19980107021900.59921@TOJ.org> Date: Wed, 7 Jan 1998 02:19:00 -0600 From: Tom Jackson To: Frank Griffith Cc: "'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG'" Subject: Re: Drive not found References: <01BD1AEC.0A2BF960@dal69-27.ppp.iadfw.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e In-Reply-To: <01BD1AEC.0A2BF960@dal69-27.ppp.iadfw.net>; from Frank Griffith on Tue, Jan 06, 1998 at 09:41:38PM -0600 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, Jan 06, 1998 at 09:41:38PM -0600, Frank Griffith wrote: > I am doing a floppy install of FreeBSD on a 486 DX2 66 computer. > I have one Western Digital Cavier 2340 hard drive, a 3œ" and 5Œ" > floppy drive, a Stealth Diamond 64 VLB 2 meg video card and a > generic Hayes compatible 14.4k modem. > > The HD Controller is built in on the motherboard and MSD says > it using IRQ14.

Any other ideas? > > When you boot the `boot floppy' watch how your devices are probed. If you miss an important detail, when the boot is complete, press scroll lock and use the up cursor to examine the probed devices. Make sure that wdc0, the ide controller and wd0, the ide hard disk are probed correctly (ie looks reasonable). Don't worry about disabling devices you don't have, you can do that later when you have a bootable system. If you catch a problem in the system probe, reboot and enter -c to reconfigure the errant probe, exit and try the install. If you still are having problems, post those and you will succeed soon.

Read you FreeBSD handbook to determine which method you want to use to update, CTM by ftp or email, or cvsup. Both work great. Don't know about running bsdi and FreeBSD on the same computer. I would suspect that perhaps bsdi might not cooperate so well when trying to install with other OSs, maybe not, give it a try ->But<- make a good backup before trying.

Oops, the serial console flags don't exist in 2.2.5. Only 2.2.5's /etc/make.conf is out of date. It "documents" the wrong BOOT* make options. 2.2.5's README.serial is anachronistic.

And yes, the documentation in 2.2.5 is VERY confusing ;-< Under 3.0 you do: 1. Put '-h' in /boot.config, 2. and set flags to 0x10 on the desired serial device. You may switch to the internal (video card) console, if you like, by toggling '-h' at "boot:" prompt. Or 1. Set flags to 0x20 on the desired serial device to force the serial console, regardless of the state of the -h option. Under 2.2.5 you do: 1. Put '-h' in /boot.config and COM0 will be the console. You may switch to the internal (video card) console, if you like, by toggling '-h' at "boot:" prompt. Or 1. Use options COMCONSOLE in your kernel configuration file to force COM0 to be the console, regardless of the state of the -h option.

The "BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE" option was an option to building the bootblocks, not a kernel option, so I don't see how sio() flags has anything to do with it. That said, the option went away in 2.2, and now this is done with BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT, I guess. I haven't rebuilt the bootblocks since 2.1, so I didn't notice the change. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 7 02:36:43 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id CAA09514 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 02:36:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from kott.my.domain (dakott@pm144-13.dialip.mich.net [198.110.144.53]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id CAA09509 for ; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 02:36:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dakott@alpha.delta.edu) Received: from kott.my.domain (dakott@kott.my.domain [192.168.0.1]) by kott.my.domain (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA09087 for ; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 05:36:36 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 7 Jan 1998 05:36:28 -0500 (EST) From: David Kott To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: [Q] Getty, Qume 101 ser. terms. and gettytab 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 Greetings, I have been, for a few days now, attempting to get a Qume QVT-101 serial dumb terminal to work over one of my serial ports on my 2.2.5 stable system with only limited success. %dmesg | grep sio2 sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa sio2: type 16450 %uname -rsv FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Sat Jan 3 01:07:09 EST 1998 I have successfully gotten Getty to start a session. However, I seem to be having difficulty keeping my serial port parameters kosher. I don't want control characters to echo in the form `^X`. This, naturally, devistates full screen based programs, editors.. and the like. I have the serial port lock and initialization parameters set to `-echoctl`. For instance, here is a snip from stty's output BEFORE getty and login muck around with things: %stty -a -f /dev/cuaa2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... %stty -a -f /dev/cuala2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... %stty -a -f /dev/cuaia2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... Noting in all cases that echoctl is inhibited. Now, my ttys entry: ... cuaa2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200.qvt101" q101 on unsecure ... annnnnnd my gettytab entry: ... std.19200.qvt101|19200-baud:\ :np:sp#19200:xc: ... I was hoping that the "xc" boolean would inhibit this unwanted control character echoing as described in the gettytab man page: ... xc bool false do NOT echo control chars as `^X' ... I setup the QVT-101 terminal, as described in a note in the termcap database to emulate a "QVT-101B" terminal. However, as soon as I login echoctl is set, and control characters are echoed in the form `^X`, and the stty dump looks like this %stty -a -f /dev/cuaa2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl .... Noting NOW that echoctl is set, and indeed, control characters are displayed in this most unwieldy fashion. Anyone have some words of wisdom for me?

And does FreeBSD support dual Pentium-II cpu? I couldn't any information for AIC-7895, dual Pentium-II cpu from BBS, news, and so on. If you know whether FreeBSD support it or not, let me know that. And If FreeBSD don't support it, let next FreeBSD version consider these hardware. Thank for reading my pool letter.

Use the 'lock' command (installed AFAIR by default), e.g. Ka0s:/$ lock -t 30 (This will lock the terminal for 30 minutes and then return to the prompt - make sure you set it high enough and that your back in time, otherwise someone may gain access to your account). It asks for a password to lock the terminal with and will return only when the correct password is entered.

I know you said you didn't want a box, but I figured I'd throw in my two cents anyway. I have constructed such a device from a small processor and a few relays/transistors. I used a Basic stamp for the brains of the unit (it's self contained, already contains serial I/O, and can handle a wide enough variety of tasks for this application). Basically, it's rigged so that I can reset or power cycle any of my boxes from my master (fatal flaw: what if the master dies???). I suppose it could be easily extended to provide access from any of the boxes. Anyway, just gather the reset pins from each box, gate it via a trans, and you're all set. I used the power relays to cutoff the actual power to each machine. The house line was connected to the NC contacts on the relays (so that if the device lost power, my machines didn't necessarialy). It seems to work for now... I suppose it would be possible to write a few utils (or even expect scripts) to control the thing, but for now it has a simple prompt interface.

A nice thing SysV has (at least in the version I knew) is a program called perms (or the like) which can save all the owner/group and perms in a textfile, and later reset all possible changes to the "right" valuesaved in this textfile. This was often done in distributions, after all the files had been un-tared from tape. (e.g. the files were supposed to be owned by user esas, but the tar-file just contains the user-number of esas on the source-system, not nessecarily the same user on the target) Leif Neland leifn@image.dk --- |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 |Internet: leifn@image.dk From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 7 05:11:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA24034 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 05:11:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from m1.gdr.net.au (root@dub066.pronet.net.au [203.34.103.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id FAA24026 for ; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 05:11:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gdr@sphynx.com.au) Received: from right.gdr.net.au (funguys@right.gdr.net.au [192.168.0.2]) by m1.gdr.net.au (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA04420 for ; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 23:12:50 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980107231535.00832680@pop.sphynx.com.au> X-Sender: gdr@pop.sphynx.com.au X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Wed, 07 Jan 1998 23:15:35 +1000 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: phil grainger Subject: Re: 95/NT Authorisation Server on BSD In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19980106204844.008fa450@123.123.123.1> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk well actually not really but it does domain logons and yu can do so nifty things (hehehe samba winnukes any client that tries looking at certain shares on my bsd box, but don't tell anyone) including registry editing/updating catcha At 08:49 PM 1/6/98 +0000, you wrote: > >Hi > > >>> Is it possible for a FreeBSD machine to act as an authorisation >>> server for Windoze 95/NT machines on a LAN?

Regardless of which course you choose however you still have a security problem whereby the root password is transmitted in plaintext across the network. I suggest you look at Secure Shell (http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh) as more secure alternative to telnet.

Perhaps you should look into rcs and/or cvsup, this will allow you not only to see who have done changes to which files, but also keep the changes and old versions around without wasting much space for backup, because only the actual lines, which have changed is saved. cvsup will also allow a very quick update, because again only the changed lines are transmitted from staging server to live server.

But here comes the nasty thing: halt/reboot does NOT signal init, so init doesn't get a chance to execute /etc/rc.shutdown. halt/reboot just kills everything in sight itself. When doint kill -INT 1 or kill -TERM 1, init runs /etc/rc.shutdown, and reboots or goes into singleuser mode. I have modified init.c, so kill -USR1 halts, and kill -USR2 powerdowns. I have also modified reboot.c so it instead of killing processes itself, it just signals init. As init syncs, I have kept the old routines for halt/reboot -q and -n. I will now cvsup the original files (I _have_ saved my versions!) to make diff's. I have even changed the manpages... Oh, and I have for my own sysV-fondness added a define to allow the SysV-way of changing states: init 0 to halt, init 1 to singleuser, init 6 to reboot, init q to re-read /etc/ttys. But that's probably too nasty...

To set it up, you telnet into the printer itself (I believe they run QNX in this one) to set the options and defaults. Telnet to the IP address set from the front panel, and *surprise*! you get a shell prompt. There are several printer filters and converters which will give you PS from text or whatever in the Ports collection under printing and graphics. apsfilter and gs (Ghostscript) are the most pertinent ones here. You set up a remote-printcap entry on your FreeBSD machines and an entry in your hosts file (not sure Printcap parser is smart enough to let you use a raw IP address, anybody tried it?). See Nemeth's UNIX System Admin book for examples. On the PC side, it depends what kind of network you are running. Some lasers will let IPX and IP clients both talk, so Novell clients can talk directly through Novell's print server without killing IP access for TCP-IP machines. There are shareware utilities which will add a TCP-IP stack to a DOS or Win PC, and some also include the print spooler utilities as well. oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo  From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 7 08:48:10 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA13889 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 08:48:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from home.dragondata.com (toasty@home.dragondata.com [204.137.237.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA13448; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 08:42:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from toasty@home.dragondata.com) Received: (from toasty@localhost) by home.dragondata.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA06079; Wed, 7 Jan 1998 10:40:08 -0600 (CST) From: Kevin Day Message-Id: <199801071640.KAA06079@home.dragondata.com> Subject: Re: Remote power cycle In-Reply-To: <199801070955.BAA09833@implode.root.com> from David Greenman at "Jan 7, 98 01:55:53 am" To: dg@root.com Date: Wed, 7 Jan 1998 10:40:08 -0600 (CST) Cc: bde@zeta.org.au, dpsmith@xoom.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL31 (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 > > The "BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE" option was an option to building the > bootblocks, not a kernel option, so I don't see how sio() flags has > anything to do with it.

(was: /etc/shutdown.d not in bsd) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk As a newbie, I'd just like to clarify. I've been doing what the tutorial (http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html) talks about: To shut down the machine type: # /sbin/shutdown -h now Or to reboot type # /sbin/shutdown -r now Now man shutdown(8) says in part: Available friendlinesses: -h The system is halted at the specified time when shutdown execs halt(8). So if shutdown -r just warns other users before eventually exec'ing halt, and if as Leif says halt doesn't signal init, it would seem that /etc/rc.shutdown is at least not guaranteed to run, or maybe never is run, and the proper way to to an orderly shutdown is to send some signal to init. Is this what he's saying he's modified his system to do? And if so, what command to 2.2.5R (I'm going to upgrade) sends the proper signal? Does it explain a symptom I've been noticing under 2.2.2R where I sometimes, but not always see a message in bright text something like "Syncing disks 3 2 Done \n Press any key to reboot"? -- when it doesnt type this, I've waited up to 30 minutes more without any further text printing, or hearing disk activity. The next boot almost never gives fsck error messages. Thanks for any enlightenment. ------------- Earlier message fragment: -------------- From: leifn@image.dk (Leif Neland) Date: 07 Jan 98 13:01:48 +0100 Subject: Re: /etc/shutdown.d not in bsd At 05 Jan 98 08:13:58 Joel Ray Holveck wrote regarding Re: /etc/shutdown.d not in bsd >>> Being used to /etc/shutdown.d in SysV, I can't understand BSD can >>> do without it. >> Because the system will shut them down for you.

I've been trying to persuade one of them to install FreeBSD on a few computers as a workstation, and I think the current IPX stuff can handle that. However, I'd be more interested in trying to convice them to ditch Netware (and NT) completely and let FreeBSD with Samba handle all of the networking serving.

I have set up XWindows and configured my PPP dialer in FreeBSD 2.2.2, and I just attempted to install Netscape. I downloaded the gzip file from the netscape FTP site and stored it in the /usr directory. I then did a gzip -dc "filename" | tar -xvf - which extracted the files. According to the Netscape site, I was then supposed to type ./nl-install, but I could not find a "nl" file! So, at this point, I was stuck. I did not know what to do, so I start XWindows and started the "netscape" executable file. It opened fine, but there were some errors when Netscape ran. For one, everytime I pressed the backspace key, it would do a space forward instead of backwards. Everytime I open up a new window or go to a new site, an error dialog box titled "Netscape: subprocess diagnostic (stdout/stderr)" would come up, with the following body: Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate Warning: ... found while parsing 'osfActivate:BullentinBoardReturn()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel Warning: ... found while parsing 'osfCancel:BullentinBoardReturn() "etc." <> Any ideas as to how to fix this problem? Please help me - I would appreciate it. Also, my XWindows resolution is way too big, which makes the fonts way too small, and the mouse takes forever to move. Any ideas how to lower the resolution to fix this problem? You Wrote: >Your message either contains no line breaks in paragraphs, or contains >alternate long and short lines.

Well, obviously, no hard and fast answer is possible, but... I have a Toshiba Portege 660 CDT which runs 2.2.5-RELEASE.

So you got an ISDN line, good for you. You mention a router. On the assumption that this is some device which talks to the ISDN line and an ethernet (I have a Netopia, myself), then the command you need is: add route default (as root, of course). Just for good measure, you should modify rc.conf (on recent releases) or /etc/sysconfig (on older ones) to indicate that you want a default route and what it is. The line for /etc/rc.conf is: defaultrouter="" # Set to default gateway (or NO). In this case, make sure you use the address. This will make sure you get the route back on a reboot. Once you think its ready, do a 'netstat -nr' and you should see output of this form: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.0.0.1 UGSc 10 0 ed0 ... (Your Gateway IP address will be the one you specified, of course) Of course, if you don't really have a router, then the story is quite different :-) John -- Prohibit work, prohibit pay - people are dying!

Net it over to me. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Ok, this is pretty painless really. First, make sure your kernels are able to do nfs, on both the client and server (The GENERIC kernel can). If you've built your own kernel(s), the server needs options NFS #Network Filesystem and the client needs options NFS #Network Filesystem OR options NFS_NOSERVER #Disable the NFS-server code. once that's done, you need an '/etc/exports' file on the server to tell nfs who is allowed to connect and what they can mount. (man 5 exports) My experience with this is that it's _very_ touchy. Start out with something very simple (let any machine mount a test directory you don't care about, for instance) and add options slowly, checking mountd's output each time you restart it. In order to get nfs up on boot, set up the following in /etc/rc.conf nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). on the server and nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). on the client. Once you get started, you can make changes to /etc/exports and refresh by 'kill -1' on mountd. Don't be put off if this sounds like weird black magic, it really isn't. Good luck, feel free to e-mail me if you have problems. John -- Prohibit work, prohibit pay - people are dying!

I've done some nice things with that. I've also used 'V' which I found somewhere on the net. If I remember, it took a wee bit of pounding to get it to build on my machine, but after that it worked well. The Athena Widget set is pretty nice to but I find using it gets a bit tedious. For some reason it reminds me of Borland OWL programming, I don't know why. My favorite GUI tool for X is the XForms toolkit.

Steve, if you send me e-mail promising to keep my data confidential then I'll be happy to e-mail you the bug list (it's a large file, so please express a preference for compression format and MIME vs. uuencode). You can also share it with others as long as we can get transitive closure on confidentiality promises. This isn't a legalistic NDA thing -- I just want to be sure that people who touch the data understand that it is not to be published, posted, or otherwise mass distributed without my consent. Once the data is converted into a regular bug report(s) then confidentiality goes away as long as it is not readily possible to reconstruct my experimental data from the bug database. Also, I'd like your physical mail address so I can send you a hard-copy letter confirming the arrangement as well as some summary data charts and conference papers that you will probably find interesting. Finally, if the bug report ends up being useful it would be nice to have a formal acknowledgement letter from Someone With An Impressive Title(!??) that I can show to my research sponsors to demonstrate "impact."

I'd just download the files onto my DOS drive and install from there but really have no idea which files I need to download to set up the User w/X Windows configuration. I have hunted for documentation concerning this but have found no that explains which file to download for a specific setup.

I believe the syntax is interfaces = ip/netmask [ip/netmask ...] Excerpt from man smb.conf: interfaces (G) ... The option takes a list of ip/netmask pairs. The netmask may either be a bitmask, or a bitlength. For example, the following line: interfaces = 192.168.2.10/24 192.168.3.10/24 would configure two network interfaces with IP addresses 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.3.10. The netmasks of both inter- faces would be set to 255.255.255.0. You could produce an equivalent result by using: interfaces = 192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0 if you prefer that format. > > I got it to work with a.b.c.d/subnetbits but it would be nice to know the > full syntax :/ > > dennis -- Regards, Norman C.

You need to get the Mach64 server for FreeBSD. You can probably get the 3.3.1 one from ftp.freebsd.org or ftp.xfree86.org . It's called something like X331Mach.tgz (this isn't the real name at all) Sorry I can't be more specific. Anyway, there's a file called XF86_Mach64 in that tar.gz file. Open it somewhere using tar -zxf X331Mach.tgz and then you should get a directory called bin in the current directory. In there should be the file XF86_Mach64.

In addition, this card is an ISA card, and a slow one, at that. I am pretty sure that this card's driver is not maintained under FreeBSD. Code exists, but support for some things isn't there, and no one's taking suggestions on what people need. I ran into this when I was trying to get my scanner to work with a 1502. It might work for whatever you are using it for (e.g. the CD-R), but if it doesn't, your only recourse may be to fix the driver yourself. If I were offered this deal, I would probably value the card at somewhere around US$5 or less in trying to decide if the CD-R were a good price. However, I am pessimistic about the value of hardware when evaluating purchases. All is not lost, however. You can find NCR 810 based cards for US$50, which are well supported, PCI, and fast. I almost bought one, but I got a deal on a Buslogic card closer to home. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 8 00:10:36 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA19079 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Jan 1998 00:10:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from proxyb1.san.rr.com (proxyb1-atm.san.rr.com [204.210.0.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA19073 for ; Thu, 8 Jan 1998 00:10:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Received: from dal.net (dt051n19.san.rr.com [204.210.32.25]) by proxyb1.san.rr.com (8.8.7/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA04865; Thu, 8 Jan 1998 00:09:53 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <34B489D6.541BF280@dal.net> Date: Thu, 08 Jan 1998 00:09:58 -0800 From: Studded Organization: DALnet IRC Network X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Michael D.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-aic7xxx@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed freebsd onto a Jaz disk and things seemed to work with the aha2940 drivers. There was an initial complaint about an inability to get geometry info from the jaz disk but it seemed to guess the right values and the install went all the way through with tons of disk access without errors. But, now I have a stupid question. I didn't want the freebsd to overwrite my MBR, so how do I boot this disk? I tried to use my initial boot disk to point it to the scsi disk but it never seems to find it! Is that geometry problem coming back to haunt me? My Linux has this neat utility where I copy a kernel image to a dos partition and I can run a Win95 program to boot using that image. Is there an equivalent utility for FreeBSD?

It is really a pain. You see this problem in the list a lot. A quick but ugly solution is to type in the name of your boot disk at the boot: prompt, something like 1:wd(1,a) Permanent solution: You are supposed to be able to create a file called "boot.config" in your root partition with the name of your boot disk in it. You are supposed to specify your boot disk in your kernel config file and recompile your kernel (config kernel root on wd1) These may work, they have for others, they never did for me (I got so fed up with it I turned the nachine back into Windows NT).

Kill the offending processes before rebooting, or unmount nfs file systems before rebooting. The hang seems to be caused by bugs in nfs.

You can try using Kaffe (www.kaffe.org) in the ports collection. It's a Java virtual machine which doesn't require X11 to run. Alex.

If you want them to use the internet through a gateway, you'll have to upgrade to Windows for Workgroups (3.11) to get TCP/IP on your network (in addition to Lantastic protocol). You can't just add a winsock.dll like many do for a dialup connection. Alex.

But, now I have a stupid question. I didn't want the freebsd to overwrite my MBR, so how do I boot this disk? I tried to use my initial boot disk to point it to the scsi disk but it never seems to find it! Is that geometry problem coming back to haunt me?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk A quick question, with I'm going to guess not a simple answer... I have 2 FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE machines, both running as NFS servers / clients - and I want to lock down the traffic between them, so that NFS is a 'little' more secure than it is at the moment... I say 'little' - because knowing NFS 'little' is probably as good as it gets... I have my rc.conf set-up as: amd_enable="NO" # Run amd service with $amd_flags (or NO). amd_flags="-a /net -c 1800 -k i386 -d my.domain -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map" nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). weak_mountd_authentication="NO" # Running PCNFSD / other non-root nfsd (or NO). nfs_reserved_port_only="YES" # Provide NFS only on secure port (or NO). rpc_lockd_enable="NO" # Run NFS rpc.lockd (*broken!*) if nfs_server. rpc_statd_enable="NO" # Run NFS rpc.statd if nfs_server (or NO). portmap_enable="YES" # Run the portmapper service (or NO). portmap_flags="-v" # Flags to portmap (if enabled). My questions are: 1. I want to run NFS over TCP only (at the moment it's all done with UDP) - as I can secure it more that way. What switches / modifications do I need on the machines? (I think only NFS v3 will run that way - but I don't mind running V3 on both machines). 2. When I am running NFS over TCP - which ports are going to be used for all this? (This is not a trick question - I know portmapper will be ultimately responsible for handling this - but by my reckoning, portmapper lives on port 111? - and NFS (when running on a 'secure port' will run on port 2049 - What else is there that would be needed?) 3. When running NFS in secure mode, and over TCP - I presume clients will still use UDP to talk to portmapper? 4. What does rpc.statd do? - Is not running this responsible for the way my machines hang aimlessly on things like 'df' if one of the pair gets rebooted (and comes up serving NFS again - but presumably to clients that don't know it's been reset / got new handles etc.?)

Ethernet ip-address is 44.76.3.141. My ISP ip address is 206.61.58.42, used on my ppp script. The (A-Box) is running Red Hat 5.0. Ethernet ip-address is 44.76.3.142. This Box is running Tnos 2.30 TCP/IP BBS for Amateur Radio Gateway. Tnos Program reqires an ip. Tnos ip is 44.76.3.140 The (B-Box) is running Win-NT 4.0 Server. Ethernet ip-address is 44.76.3.139 The (C-Box) is running Win-95 in a laptop. Ethernet ip-address is 44.76.3.138. With all the boxes i can get to the internet fine. But when the box (A-Box) running the Tnos2.30 Package tries to connect to any 44 ip site, i'm told my a friend that he could see me conneted to his box but the packets comming from his box have the 44 ip and the (BSD Gate) box aparently does not know how to translate them and the connetion gets drop. This is the actual configuration, given in the diagram below: +----------+ | A-Box | Ethernet | |:::::: | Linux |2 :44.76.3.x +----------+ : : +----------+ PPP +----------+ : 1| BSD | link | B-Box | :::::| Gate |:::::::::// Internet | |::::::: | | | Win-NT |3 : +----------+ my ip-address with +----------+ : my ISP is 206.61.58.42 : +----------+ : | C-Box | : | |:::::::: | Win-95 |4 +----------+ Tnos uses some call ip encapsulation. This works fine when i used the Linux box as the gate to the internet. But i want to keep the BSD box as the Gate. Is there some program for BSD that could do what this encapsuation is doing under Tnos. Or is there some i could add to my ppp script that would allow me to pass 44 ip packets to the rest of my network. If there is some one using an almost similar configuration i would apreciate if you share your knowledge on this subject. I'm starting to play with this two packages and don't have great knowledge abt them. Thanks u all for ur help in advance.

Since a recent change where we have increased the free text and in context search capabilities, we are regulary seeing several of our index files of mSQL 2.0.3 explode. Both on BSD 2.2.5 and 3.0 snap's. We can reproduce it by cat-ting a 4 Mbyte file of inserts into the 'msql DBASE' command, so there seems little relation with the perl/apache environment. The symptom is that a *.idx file grows quickly and suddenly all time is spend in kernel land. With no timely return; i.e. things like Alt-F1,2 etc still work, as does pinging, telnet-connect; but any typing or other user land feedback is completely out. Another recent change is that we now have some 150 tables, rather than the original 25 or so. Anyone any ideas as where to look ? mmap() ?

One way would be to upgrade to a newer SNAP, but this seems to be not such a good ideea (at least what I saw on the -current list gave me fears, much part of the code seems to be pretty broken now); the other way would be to debug this thingy, somthing I neved did before :(... So please give me some suggestions, like what SNAP would be a better choice or links to docs for debugging; even flames would be accepted (mailed directly to me, of course)... TIA and forgive me for crossposting.

PLEASE HELP ME! If the 1 gig free is part of the Win95 partition, then you need to do one of 2 things. Backup/Repartition/Reinstall Windows 95 or use the fips utility. Which will repartition it while running. Fips has worked for me on an NT machine, but beware that it could wipe out your disk if it fails.

I have a FreeBSD system that I've been using to backup my network for quite a while. It is using an Adaptec 2940 card and an Exabyte 8205 tape backup. I'm using 'amanda' to do the backups onto 160M tapes. Alrighty... A while back the system started to lock up during the backup process. Also the command 'mt erase' would never terminate. This was on a 2.2.5-STABLE machine. I tried a different controller (still an Adaptec 2940). Same results. Different cable, no change. Different tape drive (Exabyte 8700XL), same results. Today I built a 2.1.7-RELEASE machine and tried it there. Similar results. The 'mt erase' command generates a lot of errors and eventually causes a reboot. I need a solution ASAP as I'm not getting backups until things work. I've also tried this on a 3.0-CURRENT (1/7/98) machine... same results as the 2.2.5 platform.

Any suggestions? The O'Reilly book. But seriously why bother, just fetch the binary apache from packages directory. It is really all you need. It is very sensibly configured and will just do all those things normal webservers do. For a normal production web server; we do take a stable BSD, usually from a CD from walnut creek (www.cdrom.com), pick everything auto, but double /var and swap. We pick the minimal install, configure, reboot. copy the ssys.* kernel sources and cook a standard kernel with just the devices/cards actually needed plus USERS set to 30 or so. Followed by a pkg_add apache_1.2.4.tar.gz from the cdrom. And then use it... by putting files in /usr/local/www/data/* :-) The o'reilly book on Apache, CGI and HTML are IMHO quite good. But these it might be way to much in detail. The only niggle I have is the old cgi-bin directory.. when you can use handlers and decent *.pl and *.cgi file extensions :-) Dw.

One thing you may consider is establishing a communication channel between a baground job and the foreground one. Then, the data would be passed to the foreground job which in turn will display it, in a separate window if you wish. If you do not want to be that adventurous, you can simply write your data to a file and then the foreground process can read it and display it. Hope this helps.

Well, it's easier when it's broken down into smaller pieces. (Not easy just easier). However, the rewards are well worth it. The way I see it is that un*x breaks neatly into several major categories. Like: 1. Getting around, i.e. using the Shells 2. System Administration. 3. Networking 4. Programming. 5. Using some specific program(s) 6. Misceleneous What I would do if I were in your position is identify which areas you currently are pursuing and target those. One way is to get a decent book another is to ask a question right here. Some specific book recomendations: 1. Unix for DOS users :-) 2. Unix Unleashed 3. HTML/Internet programming book that covers Apache or there are at least two books I've seen specifically for Apache. These titles are not exact but somewhat close. DO NOT buy the "Red Book" on System Administration yet. You'll find it useless for a year or two. Rudy ---"Michael T.

I don't know what might have come with whatever you downloaded from FreeBSD -- the port? the package? I just get the complete distribution directly from apache and compile it myself. It's all available from: http://www.apache.org Just a couple of days ago, I picked up the latest stuff: http://www.apache.org/dist/apache_1.3b3.tar.gz http://www.apache.org/dist/patches/apply_to_1.3b3/no2slash-loop-fix.patch The documentation is included in the distribution, and it is also available online at the above site. The manual has sections on configuring and installing. I had to make no FreeBSD-specific changes to it -- it compiled and installs without fuss -- although I use GNU make, so I'm not sure if you can use BSD make successfully -- you can install GNU make from the package collection. You also need to tweek src/Configuration for whatever options you want.

Any suggestions? > Thanks, MTG Well, a great one to start with is "The Complete FreeBSD". You can get it from Walnut Creek (www.cdrom.com). If has a lot of info and covers everything from basics to a few advanced areas as well. Since you have been working with other types of computers for a long time, I think you will acclimate pretty well and quickly. As much as people want to make unix sound difficult, it just ain't that hard. My wife prefers it over windoze for her email and web surfing. You might check out "The Unix System Administration Handbook, 2nd Ed." by Nemeth et al. This covers a wider range of unices as well as describes good practices for taking care of your unix boxes. Someone already mentioned the O'Reilly Apache book. That would be good to have as well. cheers, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.

You want to read `man syslogd' and edit /etc/syslog.conf. There you define, which information gets logged to /dev/console, root or all users (*).

The good news is that if you create a file named /etc/ntp.conf, xntpd (NTP time daemon) will start up and the next time you boot and automatically synchronize your PC's time with stratum 1 or 2 time servers. > else the value of $timedflags is imported from /etc/netstart and that's > set to NO, which says we are not running the *timed* daemon. > Shoud I be running that!?

If you can locate it, you can run it once at startup to synchronize your PC's time. Just add the following command to your startup files (after the routes are up to the Internet). ntpdate -s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX See below for where to find time server IP addresses. You can also run this command in a cron job to keep your system's clock accurate. > > > ntpdate_enable="YES" # Run the ntpdate to sync time (or NO). > > ntpdate_flags="-s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" # Flags to ntpdate (if enabled). > > > > where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of a stratum time server. > and where do I get it's IP addr There are two links for stratum time servers at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html I believe you should select secondary (stratum 2) servers. It really shouldn't matter how close they are to your site, but it doesn't hurt. Select several time servers (they have been known to go down now and then). After you have selected several time server addresses, as root, create a /etc/ntp.conf file similar to the following, but use the IP addresses that you selected. server 129.6.16.35 server 18.72.0.3 server 18.145.0.30 server 130.105.4.59 The file on this system has the following permissions. emu:~$ ls -l /etc/ntp.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 75 Dec 17 21:24 /etc/ntp.conf If all goes well (check system/syslog files), your time will be correct after you restart your BSD system.

(it is consistent across FreeBSD and Solaris) According the the pr(1) man page, this is to be expected. -w width Set the width of the line to width column positions for multiple text-column output only. Notice the words `multiple text-column output only'. You specified a single column, therefore you disabled `-w' option. What are you attempting to accomplish?

However, I seem to be having difficulty keeping my serial port parameters kosher. I don't want control characters to echo in the form `^X`. This, naturally, devistates full screen based programs, editors.. and the like. I have the serial port lock and initialization device parameters set to `-echoctl`. For instance, here is a snip from stty's output BEFORE getty and login muck around with things: %stty -a -f /dev/cuaa2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... %stty -a -f /dev/cuala2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... %stty -a -f /dev/cuaia2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... Noting in all cases that echoctl is inhibited. Now, my ttys entry: ... cuaa2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200.qvt101" q101 on unsecure ... annnnnnd my gettytab entry: ... std.19200.qvt101|19200-baud:\ :np:sp#19200:xc: ... I was hoping that the "xc" boolean would inhibit this unwanted control character echoing as described in the gettytab man page: ... xc bool false do NOT echo control chars as `^X' ... I setup the QVT-101 terminal, as described in a note in the termcap database to emulate a "QVT-101B" terminal. However, as soon as I login echoctl is set, and control characters are echoed in the form `^X`, and the stty dump looks like this %stty -a -f /dev/cuaa2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl .... Noting NOW that echoctl is set, and indeed, control characters are displayed in this most unwieldy fashion. Anyone have some words of wisdom for me?

No experience with installing FreeBSD and no room for error. That's a volatile mixture likely to explode. You should reconsider your plans.

The backup process still causes my machine to lockup... FWIW, I have an 8505XL on a 2940UW (also an Archive DDS changer). I don't have any trouble with them. Admittedly, I'm a diehard tar user, but I can't imagine that's the problem. Are you 100% sure your termination is OK? I've found the 2940 to be very particular. For example, I *could not* get it to work with specific combinations of disks, though I'm sure that there is nothing wrong with the disks. I now have two 2940s in my machine, with some disks on each, and it works fine like that.

Hmm, eventually you will _have_ to install a boot manager of some sort; Expect for the case where you are willing to go into the BIOS setup and change the boot order (C:, D:, CDROM,..) time and time again. I use booteasy and a Jaz drive in much the same manner and can boot between versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD, W95, NT and Linux just fine. The only notable exception is Solaris :-( for which I have to go into the bios. Anyway, I simply get something along the lines of F1, BSD, F2 Dos, f5 Next disk, and can cycle through the 4 drives just fine. I use an Adaptec 2940 and 2x external Jaz and 1x SCSI disk. The master/ first disk is on the build in IDE. This is also where I've put the BootEasy boot manager. Dw.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sir, I am writing to say that Mr Whites link (vi) to the Japanese FreeBSD's PAO project is very useful, and comment on a D-Link 650 ethernet card. I am using a D-Link 650 in a Toshiba CT720 with the PAO patches for 2.2.5-RELEASE, and am pleased with the result. The D-Link card is configured and probed after the kernel unsuccessfully probes for an ed device - you need device ed in kernel and the standard PAO database (? I'm unsure of the name) supplies the PC Card parameters. The only problem with the D-Link is that the card is delivered with a UTP and BNC adapter and this bulky fitting connects to the card by a tiny "Honda" connector (like a micro SCSI fitting). I would prefer a fitting that takes up the whole edge of the card like the new IBMs - if they work. I use it for file transfer (300-500 kB/sec) and tcpdump.

"ENOBUFS" (No buffer space available) would be the proper response and is expected. Spray just blasts out a pile of (UDP?) packets, without using any sort of flow/congestion control.

Neither netstat, nor traceroute, nor route is reporting anything unusual between the two. However, throughput lula -> loosimausi is consistently abysmal (around 8k/minute) whereas throughput loosimausi -> lula is consistenly good. Throughput between any of these two and any other machine on the network is consistently good.

You can, however, make an extra partition and keep Windows 95 on one partinion and then run FreeBSD from the other. Use FDISK to set up another partiton, however whenever you need to change the OS you will need to run fdisk again to set the active boot partition. Info on 2 OS's can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html. If you want you can use the NT loader to boot FreeBSD, check http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ98.html for info there. 2) You can mount a DOS partition under FreeBSD, so swapping is easy there.

After many iterations a very small difference, well below the accuracy margnin propagates through. Check out for example 'Numerical Reciepes' for a good discussion. As an example consider the output of the programme below; a small conceptual thing, the order of the loop, not the formula, causes an increduble difference. Such a difference can by caused by compiler optimizations and couldless other small things.

Actually, after some trial-and-error last night I was able to get the floppy installation to work. The problem that I was having was that I did not have the correct directory structure on the installation floppy. I had originally had the following on the initial disk: a:\bin\bin.inf a:\bin\bin.aa a:\bin\bin.ab a:\bin\bin.ac a:\bin\bin.ad however, the installation only worked with the following directory structure on the initial disk: a:\freebsd\bin\bin.inf a:\freebsd\bin\bin.aa a:\freebsd\bin\bin.ab a:\freebsd\bin\bin.ac a:\freebsd\bin\bin.ad It may be important to note that I am using the CD distribution from the UNIX Unleashed, System Administrators Edition (Sams Publishing). On this CD the bin.inf, bin.aa, etc. are stored in the same directory (d:\freebsd\bin). I do not know if this is different than other distributions of FreeBSD, but that my have been the problem. 2) I now have another problem in that once the installation of the bin packages has completed, the installation procedure stops and then says that other installation components have not been installed (doc, compat1x, games, ports, etc.). Again, I am trying to do a full installation. Any ideas here? BACKGROUND: =========== I am trying to install FreeBSD via floppy disk. I go through the following steps in selecting the installation options: 1. I have successfully created the installation boot disk image. 2. I am able to successfully boot the computer with this disk. 3. I select "Start kernel configuration in visual mode". 4. I resolve conflicts, save and exit. 5. I select the "Novice" installation method. 6. In the "FDISK Partition Editor" I select "Use Entire Disk", then save and exit. 7. I select the standard MBR to install. 8. In the "FreeBSD Disklabel Editor" I select "Auto Defaults for all!" and exit. 9. I choose "All" distributions to install. 10. I select the "Basic DES encryption services". 11. I select the "Floppy" installation media. HARDWARE: ========= Zenith NoteFlex 486DX50 16MB RAM 810MB Hard Drive 1.44MB Floppy Disk 2 PCMCIA Slots No CD-ROM Thanks again, Brady K.

Any other suggestions? Hm, need more detail. Press ALT-F2 after the error message and note anything interesting you see. Also check the boot messages (hit scroll lock then use the up arrow) and make sure your floppy drive is being probed.

For http & ftp however, I want to put a proxy/cache/whatever on the FreeBSD system and have it route it's traffic specifically to the cable modem segment. It's easy enough to get the packets to the interface, but the problem is that essentially I have two 'default' gateways, one for each interface. Getting real routing info from the routers is problematic, as both claim to offer default routing and I only have access to the one on the frame relay network.

I have just one 2GB disk installed in the array (just for testing), and the controller can see it at boot time. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. TIA. Cheers, Victor Carranza P.S.

Specifically relating to termination, though, I had to change the Exabyte from an external wide connection to an internal narrow connection, because I already had a CD-ROM drive on the internal narrow connector and two WD Enterprise drives on the internal wide connector, and the 2940UW does not support the use of all three connectors at once. Repeat: only two of the three connections can be used at once, and termination should be properly configured for the types of connections used.

My problem is when I try to run user ppp and pppd on external modems. I have an external modem connected to a standard serial port on my computer (its on my controller card) and another external modem connected to a Digiboard PC/8e, 8 port serial card. The problem is that I cannot log in (via getty/login, getty/login/user ppp or PAP/pppd) at speeds higher than 9600 baud. 9600 baud and lower is no problem from a connection standpoint but I wouldn't want to be dialing in for anything more than email without attachments at that point. Interestingly though is the fact that I can set up terminal software on both ends, set the modems for speeds higher than 9600 baud, they connect, and I can type back and forth. When I say I cannot log in at speeds higher than 9600 baud, I mean, I don't get the login prompt (in the case of getty) and authentication never takes place in the case of pppd. On the client side, logs have shown (in the case of pppd) that LCP configuration request were sent but the server side ignores them. It seems a bit coincidental that 9600 appears to be the "cut off" speed - my experience has been that at speeds above 9600, hardware handshaking is required. Is is possible that both the getty and pppd or perhaps sio is having a problem with hardware handshaking? In my /etc/ppp/options file, the first line is crtscts (hardware handshaking) and this is also how the serial devices are configured (and locked, I made no changes to the rc.serial file with the exception of specifying which devices are where at the bottom of the file).

I'm thinking of using a 500meg Mac formatted partition on the hard disk as NT will be able to use it (With a tool I have) and I seem to recall that FreeBSD can mount it. My question is this, how reliable is the Mac File system mounting capability of FreeBSD? Can it stand up to everyday heavy use or should I think of doing something else?

I need to hack the source code(so I can't use the "better version") in order to replace the dbm map lookup with a direct Sybase database lookup for the etcpasswd row, etcgrouprow,etc. Some of the standard NIS commands would be turned off(like yppush/ypxfr, yppasswdd) since there wouldn't be DBM maps maintained for this application...I don't want to use some unsupported Linux Freebsd version of Sybperl/CTLIb which can break at any time should Sybase change something in its CLient Library implementation. At least NIS is fairly static and not subject to breakage if used in its most basic mode-- client sends key/lookuprequest to NIS server, server returns string to client. Please let me know if you think this last statement is incorrect. thanks...Seth > > > How well does a FreeBSD PC running NIS talk to Solaris machines?

I recently got a laptop from my new employer (BT) and want to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 on the second partition. (People who remember me from earlier occasions will laugh their heads off by now, but it's really handy with all the Suns lying around at my job.) The trouble is, I don't have a CD-ROM. I do have an Internet connection, but I don't really feel like downloading many megabytes over a 28k8 line. Therefore, at my job I copied the files from the bin directory in the 2.2.5-RELEASE tree, but those are Unix files. A copy of the CD can't be found on the website (well, that figures) and you need those files if you want to install from an MS-DOS file system. Though the installation floppy can read the MS-DOS file system, I can't do that from the holographic shell and there aren't other means to access that file system. To install the Unix files, I first need - right, a FreeBSD installation. Is there a simple solution or should I just wait, buy the CD (whereever I can spot it here in Amsterdam) or download it for a couple of hours? - Peter From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 9 16:05:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA29013 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 9 Jan 1998 16:05:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from fang.cs.sunyit.edu (root@fang.cs.sunyit.edu [192.52.220.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA28999 for ; Fri, 9 Jan 1998 16:05:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from perlsta@sunyit.edu) Received: from win95.local.sunyit.edu (ppp-10.ts-6.nyc.idt.net [169.132.98.10]) by fang.cs.sunyit.edu (8.8.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA02821 for ; Fri, 9 Jan 1998 20:06:59 GMT Message-Id: <199801092006.UAA02821@fang.cs.sunyit.edu> From: "Alfred Perlstein" To: Subject: getting my cursor back?

Think I mostly thought it was "hard" :) Only thing is now that I think about it is I have a 95 box running RC5 and when it runs out of buffers to process it will send a DNS request to my FreeBSD machine and then ppp dials out and establishes a connection to flush the completeted blocks, and get new ones. By blocking a DNS request like this I would think that now it wont work automatically. My FreeBSD machine works the same way. I have RC5 running as a process also. So to block a DNS request for certain things but not for others from specific clients would be what I want to do. Any input there? 95 box on 192.168.0.1, freebsd on 192.168.0., freebsd is a configed as a gateway. But I'll start digging through the appropriate man pages etc to see if I can get this one.

It means that the WD drives asked us to go sync before we got a chance to ask them first. So, we have to respond with a synchronouse data transfer request message to complete the negotiation. It's merely a diagnostic that has proven to be quite useful. I think that the negotiation problems are behind me now, so I plan to remove this diagnostic from the CAM version of the driver. -- Justin T.

What would your Mom know? > If you want to help, send me your money. Sorry, FreeBSD-questions is run by volunteers who don't have any money. We can give you some advice, though: 1. Get 10 copies of FreeBSD, along with the book "The Complete FreeBSD". FreeBSD is a very unreliable operating system, and you'll need at least 10 CDs to find one that works. 2. Make a boot floppy. If you can't figure out how to do this from the book (which isn't too good either), then take one of the CDs and force it into your floppy drive. 3. Turn the system power on, and try to boot. It probably won't work, especially if you used the CD-ROM (recall: they're not very reliable). 4. Remove the disk drive and unscrew the cover. You can find the screws easily: they're under the stickers "Warranty void if removed". 5. To repartition the disk, take a fine knife and score each surface to divide the areas you want for FreeBSD and anything else you may want to do with the machine. 6. Replace the disk in the computer. Turn on the power. If it doesn't work now, remove the processor. It's probably in the wrong way round, so turn it through 90 degrees and replace. If it doesn't fit, it's probably because the pins have been bent through being installed wrong in the first place. Don't worry, they're not very strong. A firmer push will probably do it. 7. Turn on the power. If you have been following these instructions to the letter, it still won't work. In fact, it will never work again. 8. Go away and leave us alone.

I was looking at the apsfilter distribution in LPRng, and suddenly realized that there was room for some slight, umm..., improvements. You will now be please to find Son of APSFILTER available for your enjoyment. Also, there will be a 'setup' script in the next release of LPRng that will largely automate the setting up of printcap entries (I hope!). This may reiterate what you already have, but it provides some assistance for the LPRng specific capabilities.

Distributed with X11R5/X11R6. Overview This filter is meant to be used with an LPRng printcap file of the following form (this will be generated by the 'setup' script): pr_ascii|PS_300dpi ascii mono :qq:lp=lp1@astart4.astart.com :force_queuename=aps-PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono # pr_raw|PS_300dpi raw :qq:lp=lp1@astart4.astart.com :force_queuename=aps-PS_300dpi-letter-raw # pr_auto|pr|PS_300dpi auto mono :qq:lp=lp1@astart4.astart.com :force_queuename=aps-PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono # lp1|PS_300dpi :qq:lp=/dev/lp0:server :sd=/usr/spool/lp1 :lf=log:af=acct :if=/usr/local/lib/filters/apsfilter :direct_read:mx#0:sh:sf # OR THE FOLLOWING (see below) lp2:qq:lp=/dev/lp0 :sd=/usr/spool/lp2 :if=/usr/local/lib/filters/apsfilter -Tdevice=aps-PS_300dpi-letter-auto-color :direct_read:mx#0:sh:sf The trick behind all of this is the :force_queuename=aps-PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono printcap entry. This causes Qaps-PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono to be placed in the print job control file, and the print filter (i.e. - if=/path of=/path programs will be invoked with: /path -Q aps-PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono The apsfilter program then chops this string up to determine the device (PS_300 is PostScript 300 dpi), paper size (letter), method of determining type of job, and color or mono printer. The raw, text, and auto indicate no conversion, ascii to PS conversion, and automatic analysis using the file() program. The -Tdevice=aps-... can be used to explicitly provide a specifier value. DETAILS: The apsfilter program is actually a Perl Script. It sets up a pipe from the STDIN to STDOUT that will convert the input file (print job) into output compatible with the specfied output device. The chain of filters which process the input file are: $decompress | $to_ps | $gs | $commprog The device $specifier is the ugly looking string passed as the -Q or -Tdevice=... command line option to the filter. Example: aps-PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono Value Variable aps (ignored) PS_300dpi = $device letter = $pagesize auto = $style mono = $color The values for $decompress, $to_ps, $gs, and $commprog are determined as follows: 1. if $style is raw, no processing is done, i.e. - the chain is: $commprog 2. if $style is ascii, then the input file is ascii, and the $a2ps program is used as the $to_ps value: $a2ps | $gs | $commprog 3. if $style is auto, then the 'file(1)' utility is invoked to determine if the file is compressed, and then the actual (uncompressed) file type. Based on the file type, the $to_ps value is set. The chain is: $decompress | $to_ps | $gs | $commprog While this is a reasonable approach, it turns out that there are some things that need to be configured on a per-system and/or per printer basis. In order to do this, the global (/usr/local/etc/apsfilter.conf by default) and local (./apsfilter.conf) default files are read by the program. The conf files have the following format: # apsfilter configuration file #PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin # # communications program # commprog = /bin/cat - # a2ps = a2ps -q -R -1 -m -B rewindstdin = /usr/local/bin/rewindstdin lp\.printer = aps-laserjet-letter-auto-mono lp\.allow_pcl = 1 lp\.res = 600 NOTE: the setup script will generate a apsfilter.conf file; this file should be copied to the printer spool directory or to the /usr/local/etc/apsfilter.conf. The PATH, commprog, rewindstdin, and a2ps entries provide override values for the PATH environment variable and the $a2ps and $commprog filters. Early versions of Perl did not support the sysseek function; the rewindstdin program provides this functionality. The other entries are more interesting. Each corresponds to a regular expression that is used to match one or more values during the execution of the apsfilter program. 1. At the start of the program, the -P $printer option value is used to form "$printer.printer"; a search is done for a matching key in the configuration file and used to set the $specifier value. For example, in the above example, printer -P lp would form lp.printer, and this would match the lp\.printer regular expression and the $specifier value then be aps-laserjet-letter-auto-mono. 2. If no $specifier was found in step 1, then the -Q $opt_Q option value is used to form $opt_Q.printer and a similar lookup is done; the resulting key match and value is used to set the $specifier value. 3. If no $specifier was found in steps 1 and 2, then the $opt_Q value (if any) is used as the $specifier value. 4. If no $specifier is found, then an error is reported. 5. The $specifier value is split up as described above, and $device field is then used in further searches. 6. The configuration information is then searched for (in order) $printer.commprog - communications program $printer.allow_pcl - 0 to disable PCL printing, 1 to enable $printer.res - device resolution (default 300dpi) $printer.a2ps - device a2ps command if necessary $device.commprog - communications program $device.allow_pcl - 0 to disable PCL printing, 1 to enable $device.res - device resolution (default 300dpi) $device.a2ps - device a2ps command if necessary 7. The desperate hacker is, of course, referred to the apsfilter source code, where there are other little gems buried in the program text which will aid and assist in dealing with those horrible printers which do not fall into this very simple model. Rewind STDIN Program In order to use the 'file(1)' program, STDIN must be rewound. Unfortunately, early versions of PERL do not support the sysseek() function, and the rewindstdin program is needed. Setup Program The setup program is used to generate a sample printcap entry that can be used to install the apsfilter. The output of the program will be a printcap.template file and an apsfilter.conf file. The printcap.template file should be merged into the existing /etc/printcap file; the apsfilter.conf file should either be merged into the existing /usr/local/etc/apsfilter.conf file or copied to the printer spool directory. HORRIBLE THINGS ABOUT PAGE SIZES, ghostscript, and dvips The various authors of ghostscript, dvips, and other tools have run into nasty problems when trying to decide on paper sizes. If you read the GhostScript documentation and man pages, it says that the page sizes supported are defined in the gs_statd.ps file. This file then states: % Define various paper formats. The Adobe documentation defines only these: % 11x17, a3, a4, a4small, b5, ledger, legal, letter, lettersmall, note. If you read the file, then you discover that the following are defined: PAPERSIZE X" Y" X cm Y cm ----------------------------------------------------- 11x17 11" 17" 27.94 43.18 a0 33.0556" 46.7778" 83.9611 118.816 a10 1.02778" 1.45833" 2.61056 3.70417 a1 23.3889" 33.0556" 59.4078 83.9611 a2 16.5278" 23.3889" 41.9806 59.4078 a3 11.6944" 16.5278" 29.7039 41.9806 a4 8.26389" 11.6944" 20.9903 29.7039 a5 5.84722" 8.26389" 14.8519 20.9903 a6 4.125" 5.84722" 10.4775 14.8519 a7 2.91667" 4.125" 7.40833 10.4775 a8 2.05556" 2.91667" 5.22111 7.40833 a9 1.45833" 2.05556" 3.70417 5.22111 archA 9" 12" 22.86 30.48 archB 12" 18" 30.48 45.72 archC 18" 24" 45.72 60.96 archD 24" 36" 60.96 91.44 archE 36" 48" 91.44 121.92 b0 39.3889" 55.6667" 100.048 141.393 b1 27.8333" 39.3889" 70.6967 100.048 b2 19.6944" 27.8333" 50.0239 70.6967 b3 13.9167" 19.6944" 35.3483 50.0239 b4 9.84722" 13.9167" 25.0119 35.3483 b5 6.95833" 9.84722" 17.6742 25.0119 flsa 8.5" 13" 21.59 33.02 flse 8.5" 13" 21.59 33.02 halfletter 5.5" 8.5" 13.97 21.59 ledger 17" 11" 43.18 27.94 legal 8.5" 14" 21.59 35.56 letter 8.5" 11" 21.59 27.94 note 7.5" 10" 19.05 25.4 You need (can) specify the papersize to gs by using: gs -sPAPERSIZE=letter Note: the papersize must be one of the entries in column 1.

However, I seem to be having difficulty keeping my serial port parameters kosher. I don't want control characters to echo in the form `^X`. This, naturally, devistates full screen based programs, editors.. and the like. I have the serial port lock and initialization device parameters set to `-echoctl`. For instance, here is a snip from stty's output BEFORE getty and login muck around with things: %stty -a -f /dev/cuaa2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... %stty -a -f /dev/cuala2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... %stty -a -f /dev/cuaia2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl -echoctl ... Noting in all cases that echoctl is inhibited. Now, my ttys entry: ... cuaa2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200.qvt101" q101 on unsecure ... annnnnnd my gettytab entry: ... std.19200.qvt101|19200-baud:\ :np:sp#19200:xc: ... I was hoping that the "xc" boolean would inhibit this unwanted control character echoing as described in the gettytab man page: ... xc bool false do NOT echo control chars as `^X' ... I setup the QVT-101 terminal, as described in a note in the termcap database to emulate a "QVT-101B" terminal. However, as soon as I login echoctl is set, and control characters are echoed in the form `^X`, and the stty dump looks like this %stty -a -f /dev/cuaa2 speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl .... Noting NOW that echoctl is set, and indeed, control characters are displayed in this most unwieldy fashion. Anyone have some words of wisdom for me?

I wanted to have a swap partition and two ufs filesystems using the entire disk in dedicated mode. I kept getting errors when newfs was run on the second filesystem, wd2s1f. I tried it in non-dedicated mode but was getting the same errors about bad parameters. What is wrong here? This is the -current 122597 SNAP by the way. Finally, I made a small DOS partition and then used the rest for FreeBSD. This seemed to work, and in fact I am using the disk with the swap and two filesystems now. However, when I boot up, I get the following messages: wd2s1: raw partition size != slice size wd2s1: start 63, end 32255, size 32193 wd2s1c: start 63, end 1056383, size 1056321 wd2s1: truncating raw partition wd2s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice wd2s1: start 63, end 32255, size 32193 wd2s1b: start 63, end 131134, size 131072 wd2s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice wd2s1e: start 131135, end 593982, size 462848 wd2s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice wd2s1f: start 593983, end 1056383, size 462401 What does this mean and should I be concerned?

If there's something else, and you obviously have access to a second controller, try using both controllers, with only the tape connected to the one controller. If that doesn't work, consider your drive options. This was an Exabyte 8505, wasn't it? Exabytes used to have millions of drive options, so much that hardly two drives were the same. Maybe the drive does something that the driver doesn't understand.

Strange that nobody has answered this message. I don't see any important disadvantages in loadable kernel modules; in fact, it's my preferred method of implementing additional functionality. Briefly, Pro: 1. LKMs are modular. You can load them or not load them, and you don't need to rebuild the kernel to add their functionality. 2. You only need to have an LKM loaded when you want to run it. If you want, you can unload it and reclaim the memory it occupies. 3. Starting the system can be faster, since you don't need to initalize the kernel version of the LKM. Con: 1. Although they're separate, LKMs are part of the kernel, and they must match the release. If you try to run a 2.2.2 release LKM with release 2.2.5, you could have trouble, including panics, or it might not work at all. I'm sure there are more; if anybody wants to, feel free to add to this list.

My new motherboard is great. Built-in floppy/IDE/serial ports, so I can finally ditch my old multi I/O card. And a PS/2 Mouse Port! "Wow, this is pretty neat," i thought, "I can finally plug my Logitech TrackMan Vista into the PS/2 port and thus free up a serial port!" (The TrackMan Vista is a PS/2 device, and I have been running it through one of my serial ports using a PS/2->serial adapter.) So I plugged it in, compiled the psm0 driver into my kernel (2.2.5-R), and voila! It works! Only problem is that the mouse pointer (in both X and syscons) is on the slowish side. I have to move the mouseball quite a number of inches to fully traverse my 17-inch monitor desktop. Is there any way to speed up the response of this mouse (i.e. add acceleration, etc.)? (I checked my BIOS; it has no such setting.) (I'm more concerned with mouse response under X than under syscons, since I use X more often.) Please respond to me by e-mail at .

Under linux, if you put 'login' on the pppd line, it would PAP authenticate via /etc/passwd entries, which is nice and great. It doesn't need/check /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. Under FreeBSD 2.2.5-REL's pppd however (and the ones I've compiled) it NEEDS /etc/ppp/pap-secrets there. And it won't authenticate from /etc/passwd . However a -current pppd (2.2.0b3) from a few months ago seems to exhibit the linux behaviour, which is what I'm after. But its lovely 16-char usernames doesn't agree with 2.2.5-REL it seems :) When I try compiling pppd 2.3.2 (it needs source tweaking in sys-bsd.c to compile, hrm..) it wants to check pap-secrets. Does anyone know how to make pppd actually LISTEN to 'login' as a parameter and not read /etc/ppp/pap-secrets?

What if I install a third one? What address/IRQ combinations are supported by the card? The 16-bit SMC Ultras I have support a few different combinations of IRQs and RAM addresses by jumpering the card; additional combinations are available through software configuration. Perhaps your card is similar; check the documentation for the card. Addresses D0000 and CC000 are fairly commonly supported, but you'll need to configure the card itself, not just the FreeBSD kernel. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ You can tell how far we have to go, when FORTRAN is the language of supercomputers. -- Steven Feiner From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 10 07:15:42 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA09912 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 10 Jan 1998 07:15:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from insane.asylum.org ([208.13.58.137]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA09900 for ; Sat, 10 Jan 1998 07:15:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dlr@insane.asylum.org) Received: (from dlr@localhost) by insane.asylum.org (8.8.6/8.8.6) id KAA13641; Sat, 10 Jan 1998 10:16:00 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <19980110101559.50311@insane.asylum.org> Date: Sat, 10 Jan 1998 10:15:59 -0500 From: dlr To: efinley@castlenet.com Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Number of tty's References: <19980110001458.53008@insane.asylum.org> <34bc1595.108602463@castlenet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.74e In-Reply-To: <34bc1595.108602463@castlenet.com>; from Elliot Finley on Sat, Jan 10, 1998 at 06:31:14AM +0000 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, Jan 10, 1998 at 06:31:14AM +0000, Elliot Finley wrote: > On Sat, 10 Jan 1998 00:14:58 -0500, you wrote: > > man MAKEDEV > >I just got the following message on a freebsd machine: > >telnetd: All network ports in use. > >I'm having problems with secure shell leaving dead shells around. > >Is there a way i can increase the number of logins accepted? > >I have ptys set to 256 in the kernel.

I'd like to lose the proxy stuff, and I was hoping that I could use natd to allow the machines inside the network to access the internet using the single IP address I have from my ISP. I don't want "outside" machines making connections to machines on my "inside" network - I want all incoming connections going to the gateway box. The natd documentation isn't a lot of help and www.freebsd.org is pingable but otherwise nonresponsive, so I can't go thru the mailing list archives. Can somebody point me toward a "recipe" that will pretty much do what I want? Thanks...

Sure. Most of them are on disk 1 (the installation CD-ROM) in the directory /packages. Each package is in two places: subdirectory /packages/All and a subdirectory relating to the type of software. For example, you'll find the Emacs editor in /packages/editors, and the mutt mail reader in /packages/mail. Some of the packages don't fit on this CD-ROM. They're mainly foreign-language things, but there are a few others there as well. Look for them on the third CD-ROM (CVS Repository), also in the directory /packages.

If you have 200 Ports, and if ALL of them are running at a steady 33.6Kbps, and you figure that the data has to go across the bus twice. Once from the ports into memory space, and once from memory space out to the net. You're still only looking at just under 2MB/Sec going across your bus...

I load-test ppp by running it over loopback connections via inetd (for example when I was testing the dynamic IP assignments). I was aware of a rather strange limit on 100 ppp processes ! I've now found that the problem is that the ppp code is assuming an interface name to be up to 5 characters *blush*.

It actually belongs to my wife, for FrameMaker on her Win95/NT machine. I, of course, want to use it from FreeBSD also. I searched the archives and couldn't find any simple solutions to this, so I plunged in and got it working myself. It only took me 10 minutes, but I thought I should share it with anyone else, just in case. First, the printcap entry: ps|lp4|PostScript printer via network:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/ps:\ :lf=/var/spool/ps/log:\ :af=/var/spool/ps/acct:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/psprint:\ :mx#0:\ :sf:\ :sh: All pretty straightforward. The input filter, /usr/local/bin/psprint, is a simple shell script: #! /bin/sh # # Print files to the PostScript laser print on our Win95 machine. # Prints our standard input to the shared printer via SMB. smbclient \\\\anchor\\okidata "" -P -U wes -c 'print -' where \\anchor\okidata is the SMB server name and share name for the print service, and wes is a user on anchor that doesn't require a password (otherwise put the password where the null string "" is). Make the /var/spool/ps directory, touch the /var/spool/ps/log file, and make both owned by bin.daemon. lpc start ps and you're off and printing! BTW, this is an Okidate OL 610e/PS I got from WebAuction for $182. The output seems very nice, and the PostScript interpreter seems to handle anything I throw at it, since I crammed a 16Mb FPM SIMM in it. Anyone out there have any Cheers or Jeers for this printer?
