(I see no reason why samba shouldn't work...) Apache worked for me without any configuration. Connecting to http://127.0.0.1/ showed a default (error) page included with apache. If you're having problems with the config file, the 'apachectl' command is very useful in finding errors/manipulating the daemon. ('apachectl -h' for more information.) Sharing the internet connection was a little more difficult, but not impossible. For me, NATD was the answer. All that really needed to be done was to add some lines to /etc/rc.conf and the kernel. See http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html for a full explanation. Samba can be complicated, but, again, is not impossible. The documents in /usr/local/share/doc/samba should answer any questions you might have. 'man smb.conf' is also very useful. You'll note that most of my reply here gives no definite answer; you'll have to write to freebsd-questions for technical advice. -newbies is more for chatting, relating experiences, sharing resources, etc., so I try to limit any responses here to pointing out any documents I know of and the proper list. A few last words of advice before you write -questions. First, (this is their rule) try to limit your lines to less than 80 characters, so crappy mail clients will break lines right. Second, you might want to limit specific emails to specific problems, and include more information. (ie. write a single mail about apache and include specifics about what problem you're having; all I really know from the above email is that you can't get them to work.) Well, I wish you good luck. I see no reason that you shouldn't be able to do what you want do. Peace, Clayton PS. If you want to try sticking to your natural language, you might try http://www.FreeBSD.org/support.html#mailing-list to see if there is already lists in your language.

If your cable company is like the companies I have dealt with you are assigned one IP address. In order to share you need a gateway or route using a some type of address translation to connect your computers to the internet. There are two different method of doing this buy a cheap gateway (linksys, netgear, ....) or you can use your FreeBSD. If you decide to use your FreeBSD computer you will need to ethernet cards, and a hub. Connect the modem to one of your ethernet cards. Plug the hub into the other card. You will want to set the FreeBSD server as a gateway and NAT. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routing.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html You may what to read the whole section on networking. Apache and samba - what is not working. Samba - Did you configure the /usr/local/etc/smb.conf file? Are you able to ping the server from your clients? Read the following: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/index.html All I had to do to get apache was install it from the ports and type "http://localhost" in my web browser (this on your FreeBSD box). I am not sure what you mean it does not work? Install lynx, /usr/ports/www/lynx, (any other web browser will work) and type: $lynx http://localhost at the terminal of your FreeBSD computer. This should work. Before you post again do some reading, all your question are answered in the handbook and in the samba documentation.

I've installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my notebook (very aged computer - P200MMX, but I still like it). I would like to have the Ethernet card installed and the only option I have is to choose one of a few of PCMCIAs (I have no other Ethernet card support on board). I've read the hardware notes and I've found no equipment corresponding to the cards I saw at one of local merchant stores. My option would be PCMCIA D- link DFE-670TXD preferrably (the price, it's D-Link). I've looked over the vendor's site and found no FreeBSD support either (typical :) ). Do you have any suggestions what I should do, maybe where to look for some useful information? I've looked over the vendor's site and found no FreeBSD support either (typical :) ). Maybe some of you guys are having other hardware compatible to the cards listed in the 'hardware.txt' models, which are working just fine? Any other suggestions?

There are some people in this community that have that bad attitude, but there are people like that in every community. But so far I have found that the people on the -newbies list are excellent. > 1) how good/bad support for laptops (in particular pci, pcmcia, usb, > acpi) It's kind of "iffy". Laptops can have strange hardware. There have been some where I have had zero problems, and others where I couldn't get past stage one. Your problem spots will be ACPI and 32-bit PCCard devices, since those are still relatively new to FreeBSD. > 2) where to check that my hardware is supported The best place to check is to look at the output of "dmesg". Also look on the console as you plug in USB and PCMCIA devices. > 3) which version of FreeBSD to choose for desktop/server/laptop FreeBSD-4.8 is the most stable. FreeBSD-5.1 has more features, but it hasn't yet been stamped with the seal of stability. I haven't had any problems with 5.1, but I have heard of people who have. For a server I would definitely stick with 4.8 for now. But you may have more success on a laptop with 5.1. > 4) is there any journaling filesystem available on FreeBSD (and I > want it be default while installing FreeBSD) There is no true journaling filesystem available. But you probably don't need one. Using UFS plus Softupdates, you get the same benefits as a user. You won't corrupt any files on a crash or hard poweroff. But you may (as with most JFS systems) lose any writes that occured just prior to the poweroff. fsck under Softupdates isn't as fast as a reiserfs or xfs fsck, but it's still fast, and you also have the benefit of background fsck under FreeBSD-5.x > 5) how different gcc/ld on BSD from Linux (mostly loader) FreeBSD-5.1 uses gcc-3.2.2. I don't know about ld, but I strongly suspect that it's from the standard GNU binutils. > 6) what the difference between Free/Open/Net and why (give me the > real reasons) should I choose FreeBSD > rather then Open/Net clones. In a nutshell: FreeBSD == general purpose NetBSD == runs on any architecture OpenBSD === NetBSD + security audits In reality, they're all fine operating systems, and choosing between them is a matter of preference. For example, both FreeBSD and NetBSD have benefited from OpenBSD's security audits. Why FreeBSD then? It's the simplest to install and configure, more people use it so it's easier to get help, and there are more ported or binary-only applications available. I've always meant to try out NetBSD and OpenBSD, but never got around to it, because FreeBSD works like a champ. There are no major annoyances to spur me to try out the alternatives.

Holy Moly! I've been using FreeBSD-5.x since the autoship subscription dropped in my mailbox, and have never had a lockup on it. But it is certainly possible, since there are some new drivers, new infrastructures, etc. I would ask this question on the freebsd-questions list, AND include a lot more information, such as your hardware, any messages, what you're doing when it happens, etc. David From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Aug 12 18:22:06 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5319437B401 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 18:22:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ns8.icdc.com (ns8.icdc.com [208.244.152.20]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 65C3E43F85 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 18:22:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from csmith@icdc.com) Received: from WAND (pool-151-197-235-23.phil.east.verizon.net [151.197.235.23]) by ns8.icdc.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with SMTP id h7D1Nw8A001784; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 21:24:00 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <002001c3613a$14053970$1002a8c0@WAND> From: "Chauncey Smith" To: , "enigma" References: <20030810035810.81325.qmail@web10409.mail.yahoo.com> Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 21:27:36 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4922.1500 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4925.2800 Subject: Re: help with USB+IDE Hard?

I really enjoy just how it works so well. My only real problem is this... after my system staying on for a while, it just simply quits responding. The screen goes black, the input devices such as mouse and keyboard don't help bring it back either. I have to press the reset button. Once it goes to the bootloader, the keyboard still doesn't work. So i unplug the keyboard and mouse, and plug it back in while the system is off (these are PS/2 peripherals, btw). After I do that, it works just fine, but that is until it decides to quit responsing, oncemore. Any insight into this? I have modified my kernel, but only to add sound support. Help would be greatly appreciated. --Steve-0 From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Aug 12 23:17:32 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DD31B37B404 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 23:17:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from web60004.mail.yahoo.com (web60004.mail.yahoo.com [216.109.116.227]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id BA9CC43FD7 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 23:17:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keshav_tadimeti@yahoo.co.uk) Message-ID: <20030813061731.50700.qmail@web60004.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [147.60.1.195] by web60004.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Wed, 13 Aug 2003 07:17:31 BST Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2003 07:17:31 +0100 (BST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Tadimeti=20Keshav?= To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: Oracle 8.1.7 X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2003 06:17:33 -0000 HI all, The portion of the handbook outlining Oracle on Free BSD refers to an old version 8.1.5 which is apparently a pain. 8.1.7 is supposed to be better.

I really enjoy just how it works so well. My only real problem is this... after my system staying on for a while, it just simply quits responding. The screen goes black, the input devices such as mouse and keyboard don't help bring it back either. I have to press the reset button. Once it goes to the bootloader, the keyboard still doesn't work. So i unplug the keyboard and mouse, and plug it back in while the system is off (these are PS/2 peripherals, btw). After I do that, it works just fine, but that is until it decides to quit responsing, oncemore. Any insight into this? I have modified my kernel, but only to add sound support.

Have you look at your dmesg out put? I recommend that you set your kernel up to save core dumps. This will save the core dumps if your kernel has crashed. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html If you are able to access your computer remotely this would indicate that your kernel is not crashing and you have another problem. This message should be posted on the freebsd-questions list.

Having nothing but troubles. I've done the Google searches, and I've spent as much time as I can afford scouring the help sites, but can't find any answers. If this is not the right forum for this question, please let me know where I can find some help. My Primary Master is Windows XP (on a Seagate, 80GB), I'm trying to set up the Primary Slave as FreeBSD 4.7 Release (on a Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 8, 30GB). When I go through the boot sequence for FreeBSD, it gets stuck at: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ad0: resetting devices .. Just hangs there indefinitely. I found one solution through a Google search that suggested disabling the DMA in the BIOS. However, on the HP Pavilion, I can't do that -- it won't allow me to disable the DMA in the BIOS. What can I do? This is a fairly urgent issue, and I'm out of ideas. Please help. Thanks in advance! OZ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

This question should definitely go to freebsd-questions, and not -newbies. Redirect there. Also check out http://support.daemonnews.org. There are some similar questions there.

It relates to the ata controller not being supported by 4.7. Apparently there is another way around this, but I dont know what it is.

It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.

[FreeBSD install] <---ether--> [ADSL modem] <--PPP --> {Where I want to get to from the other end} [1] -- Output of 'uname -a' is as follows.... 'FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Fri Sep 21 01:20:00 GMT 2001 root@bob.freebsd-services.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386' The network interface has been found and configured after some problems with an embedded Gigabit ethernet interface .....the solution being addition of a PCI based network card even though the manual page (man em) claims support for Gigabit in version 4.4 Apart from this I have tried to configure the routing when very sleepy last night..... I am familiar with Linux based routing tables but the current state of my BSD installs routing table (output of 'netstat -nr') is beyond me. (I have issued 'routed' on top of unsuccessful attempts at using the 'route' command..... what is the equivalent of 'route add default gateway x.x.x.x' in Linux?) Help! Where should I start to troubleshoot? [2] -- Dunno whether this is relevant but.... my new ADSL modem ('ADSL ROUTER' is printed in big letters on it!) has an internal IP of 10.0.0.2 by default and with the DHCP setting given to my Linux box (by NAT I guess) I was able to connect to the internet by using the Linux routing command. Interestingly there is an option for 'RIP configuration' where the option RIP among others seems to be disabled by default. ...again not too usre whether this is an issue at this moment. Enough details?

Try reasking this part or any specific questions about the interfaces on freebsd-questions. I was able to find reference to them in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, but I wouldn't recommend you just hack into it without knowing what you're doing...
