Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just got a couple of spankin' new USR V.34 internal 28.8K modems and put them in both a 1.1.5.1 FreeBSD and a 2.05R box. I have used the external 28.8K's with no problem for a year on both of these systems, but the internals are acting a bit strange: 1) About every other time a V.34 modem will call into the FreeBSD's V.34 internal sportster (using plain getty on that..), the FreeBSD modem will hang up on the caller. The banner page will get about half printed, and then the calling modem will hang (due to loss of loop/carrier). A check into the status registers of the calling and called modem reveal that the call-ed modem hangs up because it receives a DISC, but the call-er modem says it hangs up because of loss of loop/carrier. 2) Taking getty out of the equation, and just attaching cu or tip to the line to answer the phone cures this problem... every time a connect works fine. Cant do much just connecting without getty, so that's just a test condition, not a solution. Does getty mess with the serial line settings upon answering the phone?? It shouldn't, as I have tried setting the inital and lock state devices up locking crtscts, baud rate, etc... 3) Using these internal modems (USR v.34) to call out to other 28.8K modems connected to FreeBSD boxen (an external USR 28.8, a Supra 28.8K, V.34), I also get disconnects (locally on the calling USR V.34 internal), about halfway thru banner pages. So basically, these new USR V.34 internals are flaking out on me, but only when being used in a FreeBSD situation (calling, or being called), and only at V.34 or V.FC connect rates. Once connections are made, they are fine, but that's only about half the time I try to call! I have called USR on this 3 times, trying to get them to help, but some tech droid always tells me they can't help because of my 'non-standard' operating system. I even had a guy call into my modem to demonstrate the problem, but I can't seem to convince them that their firmware is flaky or etc... One more detail, these modems are actually V.34+, and say they can do 33.6K (and do pretty high like 31.2K when connecting to each other), but even disabling that feature doesn't change matters. Anybody out there have any problems with these things?? If not, how about some words of wisdom to give USR so they will further investigate/fix the problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! gatekeeper does not advertise any NFS exports. In fact, it isn't even running portmapper. There is no way to NFS mount gatekeeper. Forget it.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... For the second time in two days, my system just hung, in that, essentially, no keyboard input was being permitted. The first time, I'm sure it had to do with PCVT, in that it happened the moment after I had modified /etc/ttys and turned off all the console screens that I'm not using and issued a kill -1 1. Even after reboot, it hung almost immediately. When I booted up into single user mode, and turned those ports back on, it was all fine. Of significance to note in that case, everything ran fine in the background, it was just a console lock. This second time, though, I don't know...it just locked up completely. Of note, it seems that when it locks up, one of the keyboard lights comes on, either NumLock, CapsLock or ScrollLock...this last time, prior to lockup, ScrollLock came on, and after turning it back off, it ran for a little bit befor elockingup completely. That is the symptoms...now the question...are there any known problems with PCVT under 2.0.5R that have been fixed in 2.1.0-*-SNAP? If not...how do I debug something like this? Since it hangs, and doesn't fault itself, getting a core dump, so I'd think, is kind of difficult... Marc G.

I have a spare 1gb drive that I intend to install FreeBSD on which will mean I will still have Linux installed on another 1gb drive. Is it possible to mount the Linux partitions from a 2nd drive while FreeBSD is running and then copy it all across, or is it a matter of backing it all up to tape and then restoring it bit by bit?

Hello Derek, First, If you don't know already, you will need XFree86 3.1.2 to use the #9 771 card. I use it myself and it is a very good card. What you need to do, is edit your XF86Config and replace the "Device" section with the following: > > Also, whats the "proper" XF86 mailing list? > > Thanks, > > Derek Laufenberg > Section "Device" Identifier "Number Nine FX Motion 771" VendorName "Number Nine" BoardName "FX Motion 771" VideoRam 2048 # I have the 2M version, if you don't, change this s3RefClk 16 # Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly # (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try # option "nomemaccess". # Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page. Ramdac "ibm_rgb524" Clockchip "ibm_rgb524" EndSection If you run through the xf86config program and act like you are going to install on the 771 (# 86 I think in the Board database) you should get a working config file. The only thing you have to do is drop this in place of the 'Device' section of the config file (or, just make sure that the Ramdac and clockchip lines are in there) as above. Also, if you want to use the 16 bits per pixel (65K colors) you will need to edit your startx file (/usr/X11R6/bin/startx). Around line 23, theres a line that contains "serverargs" you need to set that to: serverargs="-bpp 16" This will tell the Xserver (XF86_S3) to start in, you guessed it, 16 bits per pixel.

Configure elm to only use either flock or fcntl-style locking. Lockfile-based locking is only good when sharing a mail spool via NFS (since FreeBSD currently doesn't support NFS locking), but it requires elm to run setgid, and to change the group permissions of the mail spool directory. Unfortunately, elm itself suggests that using all three methods would be safer (which it isn't). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 13 00:16:56 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id AAA25099 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 Nov 1995 00:16:56 -0800 Received: from beta.tricity.wsu.edu (beta.tricity.wsu.edu [192.31.216.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id AAA25083 for ; Mon, 13 Nov 1995 00:16:51 -0800 Received: by beta.tricity.wsu.edu (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA11089; Mon, 13 Nov 1995 00:16:46 -0800 Message-Id: <9511130816.AA11089@beta.tricity.wsu.edu> Subject: install panics To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 13 Nov 1995 00:16:46 -0800 (PST) From: "Mark Smith" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL22] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1444 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I HAD FreeBSD 2.0.5 (Walnut Creek CDROM Release) installed on my PCs previous incarnation when I went and upgraded the motherboard.

FreeBSD, I believe, uses a kernel based interlocking mechanism for sharing a single modem for dial in/out. You run getty on /dev/ttyd1 and you run your dialout programs on /dev/cuaa1 You need to MAKEDEV each device if they don't exist. You also have the choice of running mgetty instead of getty, which uses user level locking instead. In which case, you run mgetty and your dialout programs on /dev/cuaa1. However, all your dialout programs have to use the same user level locking scheme that mgetty does.

Before that, the machine had only one 1 GB drive (sd0 on SCSI ID 0) on which I had installed the 2.1.0-950726-SNAP. So when I installed the new disk, I thought it would be a good idea to install a more recent OS, too, and I installed the 2.1.0-951104-SNAP via ftp. The installation worked flawless, except for the fact that some of the packages which I wanted to install were not present in the 2.1-packages directory, and except for the fact that I wasn't exactly sure which options for newfs were best. Since the 4 GB drive is faster than the 1 GB drive, I installed FreeBSD on sd1. I also told the installer to install the boot manager. So I have an older OS on sd0 now, and a newer OS on sd1. Unfortunately, it seems not to have installed the boot manager. After the installation, when I rebooted, the old system was still active, and I don't know how to boot the other system. What can I do ?

I had this happen a lot with 2.0.5 since it didn't handle keyboard disconnection and unplugging and putting the keyboard back made it dissappear. I also had it happen "randomly" quite frequently but I put that down to the some quirk triggering the same problem. When I upgraded to stable the problem went away BUT I did have it happen to me once about three days ago shortly after reboot (5 mins say) just after upgrading to stable again. That's the only time it's happened in the last 6 weeks or so but there may be a problem lurking in there somewhere. This is with PCVT. I've had worse problems with syscons. There's something wrong with syscons vt switching, it's not completely reproducable but it happens frequently enough that I've now switched all our machines to pcvt. The symptom is that when you switch VT the screen goes completely blank and further attempts to switch VT just gets a beep (as though no VT was configured). Everything is still running (getty etc) but the screen is just totally blank.

I'd say yes, I had this keyboard problem happen regularly with 2.0.5 and apart from this one lockup I had a few days ago everythings been fine since upgrading to 2.1-stable. I doubt the lockup I had a few days ago is the same problem since the old problem would happen every few hours, for the moment I'm putting this last lockup down to the phase of the moon :-) A nice feature would be an ioctl that caused the console driver to reset itself so that you can log in across the net and run some user-land util to reset the console driver without having to reboot. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.

What can I do ? you may have installed the boot manager on the new disk ONLY. at boot do you get a little menu ala: F1 FreeBSD F5 second disk (forget the exact wording) if not, then the boot manager is not installed on the first disk. if you do get the menu, hit and then select FreeBSD from the menu. installing the boot manager on the old disk is not hard, but i always read the man page 5 times and cringe when i do that, so i will let someone else (who is more comfortable) give you instructions.

Well, that isn't so easy with cern but works very easily with apache; ncsa doesn't come with the patches preinstalled but the 'thesphere' web page given above does describe them. (apache is based on ncsa but is heavily modified, and includes the virtual host mapping stuff by default...) (actually it isn't all that hard with cern but requires a new copy of the server for each virtual host.) So if you don't need the proxy features of cern, apache is easy to configure for multiple virtual hosts. (see http://www1.clubnet.net; it heads a tree with several links to more virtual hosts on the same machine. This one is running a more-or-less 2.0.5 with 6 IP addresses on each of two ethernet ports; they all work.) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 13 13:11:14 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA28765 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 Nov 1995 13:11:14 -0800 Received: from fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA28753 for ; Mon, 13 Nov 1995 13:11:08 -0800 Received: (from jfieber@localhost) by fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id QAA06886; Mon, 13 Nov 1995 16:10:56 -0500 Date: Mon, 13 Nov 1995 16:10:55 -0500 (EST) From: John Fieber X-Sender: jfieber@fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu To: Mats Kronberg cc: patj@sierra.valleynet.com, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: how does one subscribe to this list?

This just started happening when I loaded 2.1-951104-SNAP onto a new machine: ASUS SP3G with Intel 486DX2/66 ... If I startup X, and then try to switch back to a text console, the screen goes blank and everything hangs. I've got vt0-vt5 as login windows, running X on vt6... this happens with the ET4000 X server, both versions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. Could the ET4000 be involved somehow? Sometimes you get the beeps, sometimes not. When you get the beeps, then that means you can hit ctrl-alt-del and the box gracefully shuts down and reboots. If no beep, then you have to hit reset. -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

I got the 2.1.0-snap installed. Thanks for everyone's help on the lnc0 card. It turns out that something just isn't working right with either my Cabletron NE2100 compatible, the kernel support for that card, or both! So, I went out and got myself a NE2000. Problems solved. 8) There are a few other things that I want to do now. First, I want to recompile my kernel. Unfortunately, I forgot to have the ftp installation install the source files. I haven't yet mastered sup, and I would rather worry about learning it after I build my kernel. Where can I find the source code for the kernel. Is there an archive with it that I can just untar and work from? Where is getty located? I swear for the life of me, I can't find it. Finally, I want to modify my console a bit. Is there anyway to put the console into 80x50 line mode as oppossed to the default 80x25. In a similar vein, is there a utility that will allow me change the colors on the console? I think what I'm looking for is FreeBSD's equivilent of Linux's 'setterm' command. Does such a beast exist?

Heres the scenerio : Machine A and B are both a part of the network 205.134.198 Machine A is running FreeBSD 2.0.5, and Machine B is running Windows 95. Machine A talks to machine B, machine B responds. All is happy and good. Now, machine A uses its modem to dial my PPP provider and establish a connection. This connection creates the address of 204.71.144.66 ( local ) and 204.71.144.?? ( remote ). So now machine A ( 205.134.198.1 ) can talk to machine B ( 205.134.198.2 ) and machine A can also talk to the rest of the Net. I have the address 204.71.144.66 as my default router, and I have #define GATEWAY compiled into the kernel etc ... as I said, it was working. Now, I can't for the life of me get machine B to see the Net or vice verca. In fact, the Outside world won't see machine A as 205.134.198.1, only 204.71.144.66. The only other option is that my providers portmaster dropped my network from its routing tables ( this has happened before ), but I mailed the network guy at my provider and asked him to check. *shrug* I suppose that he may not have yet ... but if anyone has a similar setup, can you please send me a copy of your 'netstat -rn' output?

FreeBSD doesn't care about the geometry, only the bootblocks do (and BIOS (which the bootblocks use)) if you haven't the BIOS loaded then you are not going to be booting off this drive right? in which case use anything that you like :) I suggest 64 heads/32sectors/4000cyls, as this is what Adaptec tent to like and doing so may save your butt if you ever turn the Bios on and want to amke a bootable partition on that drive.. > Us e the G option (I think) to set this .. > In short..

I also had similar problems with an ISA Hercules Dynamite Pro (Tseng ET4000/W32p chipset), but I had originally chalked that up to a buggy XF86_W32 accelerated server (which led me to get the Stingray VL); maybe this patch would have fixed my ET4000/W32p problem also? -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day. =============================================================================== *** syscons.c.orig Mon Nov 13 23:13:43 1995 --- syscons.c Tue Nov 14 01:12:14 1995 *************** *** 2804,2819 **** outb(ATC, 0x30); outb(ATC, 0x01); #if SLOW_VGA outb(TSIDX, 0x02); outb(TSREG, 0x04); ! outb(TSIDX, 0x04); outb(TSREG, 0x06); outb(GDCIDX, 0x04); outb(GDCREG, 0x02); outb(GDCIDX, 0x05); outb(GDCREG, 0x00); ! outb(GDCIDX, 0x06); outb(GDCREG, 0x05); #else outw(TSIDX, 0x0402); ! outw(TSIDX, 0x0604); outw(GDCIDX, 0x0204); outw(GDCIDX, 0x0005); ! outw(GDCIDX, 0x0506); /* addr = a0000, 64kb */ #endif } --- 2804,2819 ---- outb(ATC, 0x30); outb(ATC, 0x01); #if SLOW_VGA outb(TSIDX, 0x02); outb(TSREG, 0x04); ! outb(TSIDX, 0x04); outb(TSREG, 0x07); outb(GDCIDX, 0x04); outb(GDCREG, 0x02); outb(GDCIDX, 0x05); outb(GDCREG, 0x00); ! outb(GDCIDX, 0x06); outb(GDCREG, 0x00); #else outw(TSIDX, 0x0402); ! outw(TSIDX, 0x0704); outw(GDCIDX, 0x0204); outw(GDCIDX, 0x0005); ! outw(GDCIDX, 0x0006); /* addr = a0000, 64kb */ #endif } *************** *** 2827,2833 **** outb(ATC, 0x30); outb(ATC, 0x0C); #if SLOW_VGA outb(TSIDX, 0x02); outb(TSREG, 0x03); ! outb(TSIDX, 0x04); outb(TSREG, 0x02); outb(GDCIDX, 0x04); outb(GDCREG, 0x00); outb(GDCIDX, 0x05); outb(GDCREG, 0x10); if (crtc_addr == MONO_BASE) { --- 2827,2833 ---- outb(ATC, 0x30); outb(ATC, 0x0C); #if SLOW_VGA outb(TSIDX, 0x02); outb(TSREG, 0x03); ! outb(TSIDX, 0x04); outb(TSREG, 0x03); outb(GDCIDX, 0x04); outb(GDCREG, 0x00); outb(GDCIDX, 0x05); outb(GDCREG, 0x10); if (crtc_addr == MONO_BASE) { *************** *** 2838,2844 **** } #else outw(TSIDX, 0x0302); ! outw(TSIDX, 0x0204); outw(GDCIDX, 0x0004); outw(GDCIDX, 0x1005); if (crtc_addr == MONO_BASE) --- 2838,2844 ---- } #else outw(TSIDX, 0x0302); ! outw(TSIDX, 0x0304); outw(GDCIDX, 0x0004); outw(GDCIDX, 0x1005); if (crtc_addr == MONO_BASE) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 14 01:57:00 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id BAA20062 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 01:57:00 -0800 Received: from mail1.digital.com (mail1.digital.com [204.123.2.50]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id BAA20019 for ; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 01:56:44 -0800 From: garyj@frt.dec.com Received: from cssmuc.pcs.dec.com by mail1.digital.com; (5.65 EXP 4/12/95 for V3.2/1.0/WV) id AA09930; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 01:53:37 -0800 Received: from localhost by cssmuc.frt.dec.com; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.3/24Oct95-0939AM) id AA17883; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 10:52:22 +0100 Message-Id: <9511140952.AA17883@cssmuc.frt.dec.com> To: questions%freebsd.org@inet-gw-1.pa.dec.com In-Reply-To: Message from Paul Reece of Tue, 14 Nov 95 08:59:42 +1100.

The route to 205.134.198.0 seems to be broken in your providers net. Packets to that net get stuck bouncing between irxe1.tpl0.nwrain.net (204.71.144.34) and 204.71.144.33 (204.71.144.33) Ask your provider or the admin of 204.71.144 to fix the routing for your Class C. Now given the routing to your Class C is broken I would expect that packets destined for your Win95 machine wouldn't make it. So step one is to get the routing for your Class C fixed. Step two, is making sure the default route on your Win95 machine points to 205.134.198.1 -- Brian Litzinger | | brian@mediacity.com | This space intentionally left blank | http://www.mpress.com | | From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 14 05:20:00 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id FAA11215 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 05:20:00 -0800 Received: from wahoo.netrunner.net (keithl@wahoo.netrunner.net [204.137.145.254]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id FAA11195 for ; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 05:19:53 -0800 Received: (keithl@localhost) by wahoo.netrunner.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) id NAA08502; Tue, 14 Nov 1995 13:29:34 GMT Date: Tue, 14 Nov 1995 13:29:33 +0000 (GMT) From: keith leonard To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: release 2.1 and IDE Cdroms Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Does the new release 2.1 support IDE Cdroms.

Thanks in advance. > -Justin Seger- > I have found a little bug (For lack of better term) in setting up aliases.. first off you will need to do an alias for the netcard if you were doing ip 199.232.47.52 it would look like this.. ifconfig le0 199.232.47.52 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias but here is the "BUG" (NOTE: the reason i am calling it a bug is because everyone i have spoken with says that the netmask should not effect it in this way..) check the netmask of the first le0 and make sure that the IP is with in your bounds.. example off my system my ep0 is 206.218.183.158 with a net mask of 255.255.255.224 that is 6 subnets and 30 hosts per subnet (I Think.. I dont have my chart handy) the first system on the subnet is 206.218.183.128 and the last system on the subnet is 206.218.183.158. This makes a 30 number difference between the two numbers.. if i try to alias an ip outside of 128 to 158 (such as 180) the network locks up.. not right away.. it waits an hour or so.. and there are many other symptioms like some systems on the net can telnet to the host and others cant etc.. My soulation.. well i added a full class C as a secondary IP Set to the Ethernet adapter at the router and gave it a netmask of 255.255.255.0 any ip i alias i put in this set.. thus no problems...

Both tcl7.4 and tk4.0 (patched up to the 'p2' level) compiled right out of the box. Tcl needs a minor change under to set the floating point exception mask (as was done with tcl7.3 in the ports collection), but once that was done it passes all of its tests just fine. The trouble starts with Tk -- no complaints during the build, but _lots_ of tests fail. Interestingly, I get less failed tests if I run them under a pared-down X setup (just twm and an xterm) rather than my usual mess of clients and a vastly over-configured fvwm. The output from 'make test' is over 40K so I won't post it here -- mail me or check out my post on comp.lang.tcl or comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. I reinstalled FreeBSD only a few weeks ago so the system is basically stock apart from the various packages I have installed. These include tcl7.3/tk3.6 but as I'm linking the new versions statically and haven't installed them yet I don't think there should be any interference between the two. So, to the questions: 1) Does anyone in the FreeBSD world have Tk4 running cleanly, and if so, how did you do it? 2) The XFree86 on the FreeBSD CD's is X11R6, right? I compiled tcl7.4/tk4.0 up under SunOS 4.1.4 & X11R6 on a school machine, and got a similar amount of failed tests from Tk. I would normally expect very few complaints building Tk on a Sun machine. On a Solaris 2.4 box with *X11R5* Tk passes all of its tests. I'm not sure what X release Tk was originally written for, but there could be a connection here?

Since no DOS drivers come with the GUS, I can't prototype a config there, and I've had no luck with the UN*X side of the equation.

Unfortunately I don't follow most of the mailing-lists or newsgroups so somebody may have been spreading this erroneous advice without giving me a chance to correct it (again). This should be in the FAQ. To support multiple IP addresses on a single interface, you must first examine the situation closely. In almost every situation, you will fall into one of these two cases: 1) Multiple logical IP subnets on a single wire. In this case, use the following commands: ifconfig de0 inet xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa netmask mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp ifconfig de0 alias inet bbb.ccc.ddd.eee netmask qqq.rrr.sss.ttt 2) Multiple logical IP hosts on the same IP subnet. In this case, use the following commands: ifconfig de0 inet xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa netmask mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp ifconfig de0 alias inet xxx.yyy.zzz.bbb netmask 255.255.255.255 -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

However, I don't seem to be able to get the kernel to work with my 1542CP card (note the P). Is this card actually supported? (Some details, just in case it is useful. The card is configured for port 0x334, IRQ 11, DMA 6 and I have used the config utility to supply the kernel with those values. The first aha0 message says (if memory serves) "unknown board" followed by "cmd/data full" and the boot procedure ends up in a timeout-retry loop following "waiting for the SCSI devices to settle". The configuration is working fine with Linux 1.2.13.) Could you let me know whether the card is supposed to be supported and point me in the right direction or to the right person?

Yes, it is supported. Proof? I'm using it right now. The key lies in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS configuration. There are several options listed as "for compatiblity with UNIX and other operating systems", these need to be changed in order for the card to work. Just browse through the configuration settings, and you'll see what I mean.

I'm using a FreeBSD 2.0.5 system with a 1542CP to type this message right now. The key is in the SCSI BIOS configuration -- there are several values marked as "you must set this option in a certain way to maintain compatiblity with UNIX and other operating systems" those need to be set up right, or else all sorts of weird things occur. But anyway, the card works! The only thing is, at boot, it says "Unknown card version - VD.0". But that's it -- everything else works beautifully.

Hello Jerry, I must have missed an earlier email from you, but what were you going to use MFS for ? 16mb RAM is not that much when we're talking Unix (especially if you're running X) and that memory might be better used elsewhere. If you have a lot of programs creating and using small tmp files then maybe using mfs for /tmp might help you. Otherwise, leave the work to the VM which buffers your data very well already.

Copying it over fixed that. I don't know if this is a "bug" ? Is there some global X11 variable which tells where to find app-defaults? The reason we do it this way is so packages get shared by everyone via NFS mounting of /usr/local. > > Doing a ktrace shows it getting "Permission denied" when trying > > to open /dev/cd0a and /dev/rcd0a, even though a list of /dev/*cd0* > > shows everything having mode 666. > > No clue here tho.

Specifically, one of the procs in my Expect script spawns a shell process and sends subsequent commands to that shell process. Also, at some point, I need to use interfact such that the spawned process' STDIN and STDOUT get `connected' back to the user's terminal, eg : if ( [ catch "spawn -noecho $shell_process" reason ] != 0 ) { puts "*** error: $reason" return 90 } . . . send "\r"; . . . # Note that I want the shell process to terminate after executing # in interactive mode, so I don't have to deal # with scanning for shell-prompt symbol and send an "exit\r". send "; exit\r"; interact . . .

It would be interesting to see if the people who are having problems with ET4000/W32p-based video cards are using syscons or pcvt. There have been a few posts recently regarding the "better robustness" of pcvt (vs syscons), and I just recently found a "bug" in syscons that was causing all my syscons fonts to be corrupted (after using X-Windows). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

I haven't got a clue yet, so I simply toured Fry's to see what was available and all. Can I ask you guys for recommendations or comments based on these tidbits: - I want a PCI SCSI controller - I want to primarily do tape backups on 4mm drives, 2G OK. - A SCSI disk might find its way into the system eventually - Choices appear to be: Fry's US $ AH-2940/aic-7870 $259 aic-7880 $300 AH-2920 $159 NCR 53C910 $ 95 NCR 53C820 $219, $140? @ HD Which of these are more reliable devices, and more reliable drivers? Ultimate speed is NOT the ultimate concern to me here. Something somewhat fast and solid is probably more of an issue. Also, I don't have a clue if F&W is even a concern for me? I doubt that the "Ultra Wide" is needed; 7 devices will hold me for quite a while too. Naturally, I'm looking for 4mm tape drive recommendations too. I'd say 4mm is sort of a requirement as that is the only format we have available to us else-wise at work right now. Um, also, I currently have a 2.0.5 snapshot and plan to upgrade to 2.1 as soon as a good backup can be made on this device... It's all being run on a DELL Dimension XPS P90. And, as a totally secondary possibility, although I am willing to completely ignore this if needed, I might use the same card and tape drive to back up a Winblows-95 box too.

My little brain ran itself along similar suspicions about six months ago, leading me to install pcvt on system instead of pccons. The problems X had occasionally caused for me were not fixed with the different console driver. Basically, the X server seems to be buggy when it restores text mode. I have no problems with it until I logout (when using xdm) or switch to another virtual console with CTL-ALT-Fx. Curiously, it *does* sometimes manage to do it right.

Yes, we're aware of these two problems. The first has been fixed. The second has been worked around for the time being. Although I'm told it didn't show up with older Linux versions, it seems to show up with 1.3.x Linux kernels. The W32 server is probably the flakiest of the XFree86 servers. It will work fine on some hardware, but there is a lot of hardware where it doesn't. Some work is being done on this.

Thanks! It "routes" :) You use the "RIP" (Routing Information Protocol) protocol. This allows for dynamic routing, where routers talk to each other via UDP, exchanging information on what networks each router is connected to. This allow the routing daemon (gated) to update the kernel's routing tables with information it receives. ie. routes are added and deleted dynamically, so changes in network are propegated via RIP to other routers. routed supports RIP only. gated supports IGP, EGP and RIP. You can check to see if a router is advertising the network its attached to by using ripquery that comes with gated. example.. jazzy# ripquery 203.8.105.28 24 bytes from iris.webnet.com.au(203.8.105.28) to 203.21.35.254 version 1: 203.8.105.0 metric 1 For more information on RIP read RFC1058.

Congrats to everybody involved. However, I have the following problem. I have an Adaptec 1542 SCSI adapter with an external 1GB disk and external quad-speed CD-ROM. I also have a WD1007V internal disk. I wanted to install FreeBSD on the SCSI disk only. The problem I ran into was if I enabled the SCSI BIOS, then FreeBSD couldn't talk to the adapter (see messages below). Without the BIOS enabled, I can't use the SCSI disk as a boot disk. The interim solution I've chosen is to install the root partition on the WD1007V and everything else on the SCSI disk. While this works fine, it means I can't install the SCSI components in another PC and boot FreeBSD because I don't have a root partition. Is there any way to install solely onto the SCSI disk? The FAQs indicate that this should be no problem once you specify "hd(1,a)kernel" at the boot prompt. The error messages I got from FreeBSD when the BIOS was enabled are as follows: aha0: reading board settings, dma=5 int=11 (bus speed defaulted) aha0: aha_cmd, cmd/data port full aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle probe0(aha0:0:0): timed out adapter not taking commands... frozen? Debugger ("aha1542") called /* The last three messages are repeated here */ aha0: MBO not free Does anyone know what the problem is? Please note that the exact same problem occurred on a Gateway 2000 Pentium with an internal 1GB disk. The 1542 is of recent production (chips labelled 1995). It has what I'd call a SCSI-2 connector for the external devices. The CD-ROM is a SCSI-2 device. I'm not sure about the disk. I know this isn't conclusive, but everything works fine under DOS (although I'm not booting from the SCSI disk under DOS, the devices are at least accessible). By the way, I've done the usual things like take out every other card (except the VGA card) and I've tried various other IOMEM and PORT values, to no avail. Any help really appreciated.

Looks like you have an Adaptec 1542CP, their new Plug-and-Play flavor of the 1542. The 1542* series (including older C, CF's, and the new CP) have a few configuration variables that need to be played with in order to get things to work right, plus the Plug and Play stuff builtin to the 1542CP throw a monkey wrench into the works as well. You must've missed my recent posting to the net and the lists, detailing how I solved this problem, and got everything working happily. Well, for your benefit, here it is again. Let me know if you have any problems or whatnot.

I've compiled a kernel with the options that I want, but I'm never satisfied. I want MORE! 8) I find the default colors to be lacking. I would also prefer not to have to fool with scon -p all the time to set some of the basic colors. What I wondering is if there's any documentation on how to set the color in the source code or with an `options' statement in the kernel config file? I was digging through the source code and my eyes started complaining! Truly dizzying. Likewise, what about assigning key codes?

There is also a escape sequence available to change the colour assignments at runtime if pcvt was compiled with option PCVT_SETCOLOR, if you cannot find out the syntax of the sequences enabled by this by looking at pcvt_out.c, you'll have to ask Bruce Evans - i included it in ancient times because he requested it :-) > Likewise, what about assigning key codes? man kcon(1), man keycap(3), man keycap(5). > And how would I go about setting up the Latin-1 and/or DEC code page > support for PCVT? It does already fully support Latin-1 and DEC MCS, you just have to load the fonts, see man loadfont(1). Also have a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc and /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Etc/rc.local on an example of a startup file. After you are done, uudecode and gunzip the file /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/chardemo.vt.gz.uu and cat it to a pcvt screen and you'll see what you have!

I entered the BSD directory in the package and typed "make," and everything seemed to work up until the end, at which point I got the error: gcc -O2 -I. -I/usr/local/lib/named/BSD/named/../BIND -I/usr/local/lib/named/ BSD/named/../BIND/include -DUSE_OPTIONS_H -o named version.o db_dump.o db_glue.o db_load.o db_lookup.o db_reload.o db_save.o db_secure.o db_update.o dmalloc.o ns_forw.o ns_init.o ns_main.o ns_maint.o ns_ncache.o ns_req.o ns_resp.o ns_sort.o ns_stats.o ns_validate.o storage.o tree.o db_dump.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_nsap_ntoa' referenced from text segment db_load.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_nsap_addr' referenced from text segment ns_main.o: Undefined symbol `___res_randomid' referenced from text segment ns_resp.o: Undefined symbol `___res_nameinquery' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. I.e., everything looks fine until nearly the last stage, then it breaks. Reviewing the README in the BSD directory, I see there is a diffs file that needs to be patched into the source code found in /usr/src/lib/libc/net. However, this patch file does not match the source files I have in that directory, either by line number affected or by actual text. Thus, the diffs file appears to be wrong for the version of FreeBSD I have. Any ideas on where to go from here? I suppose I could manually patch everything in, but I was hoping there'd be a correct diffs file somewhere for FreeBSD. This diffs file seems a little longish, and if I can't even count on the lines of code being where they were predicted to be, it might take a while to do this manually. Also, if I am barking up the wrong tree in general and you have a solution, obviously I would love to hear from you. :) Thanks! -Steve- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 15 11:42:57 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA14294 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 11:42:57 -0800 Received: from dtr.com (dtr.rain.com [204.119.8.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA14281 for ; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 11:42:52 -0800 From: bmk@dtr.com Received: (from bmk@localhost) by dtr.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id LAA01843; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 11:42:00 -0800 Message-Id: <199511151942.LAA01843@dtr.com> Subject: Re: Netscape and News Proxies??

I'll do some more digging tonight, also. The strange thing is, without my patch, my syscons fonts are corrupted, and XFree86's SuperProbe also mangles the console. With the patch, everything's fine. Does PCVT also blow up on these systems? The patch is basically doing what PCVT does, except the sequencer reset. I originally added the PCVT sequencer reset code, but it didn't change anything for me. I'll see if I can shrink the patch; there may be some unnecessary code in it. The patch was developed by reading the pcvt source and checking the changes against some slightly vague info in two different books (I've forgotten the exact titles, but one was a book on VGA graphics programming by Michael Abrash). I'll also put my old ET4000/W32i card back into the system, to see if my patches also fix my ET4000/W32i problems. Furthermore, I'll try to see if can determine which ET4000/W32i chip revision I have. [ I originally said that I have an ET4000/W32p -- which I do -- but that's in a different system. My FreeBSD system was using an ISA-based ET4000/W32i board (Hercules Dynamite Pro), and is now using an Ark Logic-based Hercules Stingray VL. ] If it makes a difference, I'm using an old NICE Super EISA motherboard (which is an excellent motherboard, and so I'd be surprised if it's the problem). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

If you were to do two builds without cleaning things out, then you would get the version number rising. This seems to be controlled by a file vers.c which is built using a script named newversion.sh, in /usr/src/sys/conf, which extracts all the current info, and increments the version number (I'm not yet clear on how) I've seen so many embarrassing errors go by caused by folks that 'knew better' not doing cleanouts, that I really wouldn't recommend doing that config -n unless you're ready to look dumb when you get caught by it. > Please respond.. thanks > > Donald Burr [d_burr@ix.netcom.com], PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara CA 93190-1212 > TEL (805)564-1871 // FAX 564-2315 // WWW http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~dburr > PGP Public Key available by request (send e-mail) or Public Key Servers. > ** Uphold your right to privacy - Use PGP. ** > > ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Here's OJ's internet address in hex code: 00 2F 2F 2F 2F 5C 7F 2D 0D 15 1B 19 24 24 24 18 If you can't recall the translation, here it is: null character, slash, slash, slash, slash, backslash, rubout, dash, carriage return, negative acknowledgement, escape, end of media, dollar sign, dollar sign, dollar sign, cancel From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 15 15:14:04 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA23244 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 15:14:04 -0800 Received: from chemserv.umd.edu (chemserv.umd.edu [129.2.64.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id PAA23225 for ; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 15:14:01 -0800 Received: from latte.eng.umd.edu (latte.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.15]) by chemserv.umd.edu (8.7/8.7) with ESMTP id SAA08435; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 18:13:59 -0500 (EST) Received: (chuckr@localhost) by latte.eng.umd.edu (8.7/8.6.4) id SAA16323; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 18:13:58 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 18:13:58 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Robey X-Sender: chuckr@latte.eng.umd.edu To: Jerry Alexandratos cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FVWM Question In-Reply-To: <9511152231.aa00290@stimpy.eecis.udel.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 15 Nov 1995, Jerry Alexandratos wrote: > I'm using 2.1.0-951104-SNAP with the programs and ports from the > packages-2.1 and ports-2.1 directory and XF86312. > > I tried to use fvwm-3.12 but it complained that it couldn't find a > library file that it needed.

Jerry- I just built and installed fvwm from the ports directory and it was smart enough to check for, build and install the xpm library first. The ports stuff came from wcarchive on Sunday, 11-12.

You can attempt to find out _why_ it doesn't work properly by setting the 'debug' flag using the kernel configuration tool. Boot with the '-c' flag : Boot: -c Then at the config prompt, set the debug flag for the first serial port : config> flags sio0 0x80 config> quit Now when the port is probed, you should see a list of tests that it fails.

Yes, it's a STREAMS pipe, used for file descriptor passing to get a filehandle on a pipe to the Xserver for the local connection. Your best bet for info on how this works is to look at the XFree86 code which emulates SCO's X-Server connection methods. Then you've only gotta figure out how to do it on FreeBSD.. :-) Or: try setting your $DISPLAY to something that implies a TCP/IP connection to the server instead of a local connection.. ie: setenv DISPLAY my.full.fqdn:0 -Peter >> Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@crh.cl.msu.edu >-- >]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ >]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ >]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ >]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ >]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

The only computer they guarantee this OS to work on is the IBM Aptivia 300 series. However I want a Dell. I have also heard many rumors of computer science majors buying big, expensive fancy computers only to find out that this OS doesn't run on them. I would like to know if you have any experience with this OS, and if it will run on a Dell. However, I need you to be sure about this as it will be part of the basis of my decision. If you know of problems or whatnot please tell me. Some people tell me that this is a fairly popular OS and that it rus on all x86 processors.

I can telnet and ftp out, and things that aren't cranked up via inetd (e.g. named, sshd, sendmail) work just fine. Any connection that's made to the machine on a port handled by inetd just hangs.

The kernel messages are my personal preference and can be changed in newer pcvt's by specifying COLOR_KERNEL_FG, COLOR_KERNEL_BG and/or MONO_KERNEL_FG and MONO_KERNEL_BG - have a look at the very end of pcvt_conf.h - i don't recall if the pcvt in 2.0.5 already does this, if not get yourself pcvt release 3.32. > :There is support for colour in pcvt, uudecode and gunzip the file > :/usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/colors.vt.gz.uu and cat it to one of > :pcvt's screens on a color display and you'll see .. ;-) > > I tried this. Is there any reason that there aren't any "bright" > colors? Yes. The reason is that there is a bit in the VGA encoding in the video memory which can either be used for high intensity or be used to activate the display from a second character (or better font) set which can be loaded into the VGA character generator ram (have a look at loadfont, there you can load an upper and a lower character set). This second char/font generator is necessary to support all characters the VT220 can display and because my primary idea was VT220 compatibility, i had to choose a different representation for several attributes. I'm also not satisfied with this, but it is a limitation of VGA hardware. There are possibilities: if one does not need all the special DEC chars and just wants IBM charset II, it would be possible to use this bit for high intensity again, but for this to work, someone has to code - it should be pretty easy, i think. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

Because unless you run a routing protocol which understands vari- able subnetting, you just told your interface that you have a network 134.98.19.10 with a single address (134.98.19.10) and the network and broadcast addresses identical (both: 134.98.19.10). In other words, any address on the network 134.98.19.0 is seen as non-local, and your machine isn't able to contact them. The same for the other network 134.98.18.10. Please Garrett cor- rect me where I'm wrong (I'm sure you will).

Hmm...from outside the machine, I can connect to the smtp port, name server, sshd, portmap, anything that isn't cranked up via inetd. telnet, rlogin, talk, finger, etc. all hang, from any outside machines, and I can't even get those things to work from localhost.

I can see about 44 hosts up on the subnet, including a couple of Cabletron hubs, and a Cisco router.

They get warm but not too hot (no problem mounting them in the 3 1/2 inch bay in a big tower with no fan blowing at them directly). But what counts for me is, they *scream*. Not only do they get in excess of 7MB/sec throughput through the filesystem, they perform excellent generally. I haven't had any probllems with them yet.

If you don't already have one, make yourself a kernel config file. cd /sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC 2. Now, edit the file you created in step 1 (or, use the kernel config file you're currently using).

Now, recompile your kernel. cd /sys/i386/conf config cd ../../compile/ make clean ; make depend ; make all ; make install Then reboot. 4. Make sure the mouse device file exists. Do this: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV mse0 5. Edit (or create) /etc/XF86Config. If this file doesn't exist, a good way of creating it interactively is to run the 'xf86config' program. Either way, look for the following lines: and make the modifications indicated. # ********************************************************************** # Pointer section # ********************************************************************** Section "Pointer" Protocol "Busmouse" Device "/dev/mse0" # When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment # the following line. # Protocol "Xqueue" # Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice # BaudRate 9600 # SampleRate 150 # Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice # Emulate3Buttons # ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice # ChordMiddle EndSection The last two options above should be played with, if your middle mouse button doesn't work right.

You can change the tables in pcvt: they are located in pcvt_hdr.h and are called sgr_tab_color[] for color displays, sgr_tab_mono[] for monochrome displays and sgr_tab_imono[] for monochrome MDA and Hercules displays which have the intensity bit (but no fontloading memory). Or you can change it by sending escape sequences, but you first have to recompile pcvt using an option and second you have to find out the syntax of the sequences (or ask Bruce Evans) as i wrote in an earlier mail: > I would also prefer not to have to fool with scon -p all the time to > set some of the basic colors. What I wondering is if there's any > documentation on how to set the color in the source code or with an > `options' statement in the kernel config file? See above. There is also a escape sequence available to change the colour assignments at runtime if pcvt was compiled with option PCVT_SETCOLOR, if you cannot find out the syntax of the sequences enabled by this by looking at pcvt_out.c, you'll have to ask Bruce Evans - i included it in ancient times because he requested it :-) hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

Or that you'll want to install the new drive as drive 0, and the old as drive 1. There isn't really a cookbook procedure to do this - it depends a lot on how your disk is laid out and what type of hardware you have. I can be of a lot more assistance if you can give some more details. I'll give you the general procedure below. You'll need to understand how FreeBSD handles slices, partitions, and filesystems. The fdisk(8) and disklabel(8) man pages will be a good start. If you can't figure out how to do it from the instructions I'm about to give you, you will probably be better off seeking professional assistance. That is, unless you are an adventurous sort who doesn't mind cleaning up after potentially destructive mistakes. BE WARNED. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND EACH AND EVERY STEP YOU CAN POTENTIALLY WIPE OUT YOUR DATA. Don't say I didn't warn you. :) > 1) Move everything to the new drive without having to re-install freebsd > entirely. This includes the ability to boot. > 2) Make the new drive also boot dos as well. I need to understand how to > install a boot manager for this. What I do is this - temporarily install the new drive as drive 1. You didn't say if it's IDE or SCSI, so I'm going to have to be a bit vague on this. After the drive is physically installed, boot DOS and create a DOS partition. Make the DOS partition the active partition. Format the drive with the /s option. Copy all of your existing DOS stuff to it. Boot FreeBSD to single-user off of your old drive. Create a FreeBSD slice using fdisk. Leave the DOS partition as the active (boot) partition. You'll need to boot it later. Use disklabel to put a disklabel on your new FreeBSD slice - at least create BSD partitions that correspond to your existing ones, plus any additional that you'd like. Use newfs to create filesystems on the new partitions. You can transfer all of the data from existing partitions to new ones using the following as an example: # copy root (/dev/sd0a) to /dev/sd1a newfs /dev/rsd1a mount /dev/sd1a /mnt dump 0f - /dev/sd0a | ( cd /mnt ; restore rf - ) # copy /usr (/dev/sd0f) to /dev/sd1f newfs /dev/rsd1f mount /dev/sd1f /mnt/usr dump 0f - /dev/sd0f | ( cd /mnt/usr ; restore rf - ) You will need to edit /mnt/etc/fstab to make adjustments. Shut the system down, power off, physically install the new drive as drive 0. If you've managed to get this far without destroying the data on your old drive, leave it out - just in case. :) Boot DOS off the new drive. Install the boot manager of your choice. The default FreeBSD boot manager (Booteasy) can be found on the 2.0.5 cdrom in /tools/bootinst.exe. You should be able to boot either FreeBSD or DOS off of your new drive. When you're satisfied with the results, you can either reinstall your old drive as drive 1, or dispose of it as you wish. I find that old drives make _great_ bookends. :) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 16 15:39:13 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA23518 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Nov 1995 15:39:13 -0800 Received: from sierra.valleynet.com (patj@sierra.valleynet.com [205.199.144.101]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id PAA23512 ; Thu, 16 Nov 1995 15:39:07 -0800 Received: (from patj@localhost) by sierra.valleynet.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id PAA13830; Thu, 16 Nov 1995 15:37:31 -0800 Date: Thu, 16 Nov 1995 15:37:30 -0800 (PST) From: Pat Jensen - Network Administrator To: hackers@freebsd.org cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Sup Server Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've set up a new SUP Server here at ValleyNet Communications.

I used the settings for the kernel config lines from someone else who has a non-PnP Awe 32, and configured the port, irq, and dma's according to what Windows 95 tells me the card is set to. Unfortunately it still doesn't recognise the card.. Figuring the PnP bios was probably confusing the detect code, I borrowed the older Awe 32, and my kernel found his card fine.. So, my questions are: 1) Is there some relatively simple change I can make to the kernel detect code so that freebsd can find my awe 32? 2) Will this be a problem on all PnP cards out there? 3) Does 2.1 handle PnP cards correctly? Or even better does it handle the Awe 32 Pnp card? :^) Thanks for any help.

Essentially, so that I don't get a bunch of "just type make out of the src's directory" answers this time...I'm trying to get ncurses 1.9.8 compiled and working. It compiles and works cleanly using static libraries, but getting it to compile shared has been a new experience... ...so, what key step have I missed in all this? I assume that when gcc compiles, its going to look at the "registered" ncurses shared library, which is the one that was installed when the system was built, right? thanks... Marc G.

These are used to 'strip' out un-necessary (And some necessary according to Bruce) symbols out of the resulting .o files. .cc.so .C.so: ${CXX} ${PICFLAG} -DPIC ${CXXFLAGS} -c ${.IMPSRC} -o ${.TARGET} @${LD} -x -r ${.TARGET} @mv a.out ${.TARGET} So, if you use a .c.o target that is similar and add the 'ld -x -r' to the resulting .o I suspect your library will also be smaller.

This is compliant with the spec. If we cached, like SCO, we'd be in violation of the spec (like SCO). You can temporarily enable async when mounting (see the per fs mount man pages) but unless you want to be utterly screwed the first time the power fails, I wouldn't make this your first choice. The lockd/stad have to do with file locking andwon't affect write performance at all (unless you use an unlock as a trigger for client cache flushing, and even then your processes would have to know about it and cooperate).

Mine behaves OK with tar - I can tar a 700Mb filesystem without difficulty - but I have had problems with dump. There's definitely something strange about the drive, when I try to move past files on tape (using 'mt fsf 1') the drive winds repeatedly and gradually locks up the SCSI bus - causing the system to hang and requiring a reset to fix.

You know there's two version of that pic flag stuff, which stands for Position Independent Code (I think). The -fPIC is supposed to be stronger in force than the -fpic, but most code does not need the strong -fPIC. I don't know how to tell the difference, except to try it and find out. As far as code size, have you checked to see if you happen to be using the -g flag? That causes gcc to stuff in a huge number of debugging flags and can really bloat out code. A lot of packages come with that set automatically, which I think is dumb, because if you're sophisticated enough to know how to use a debugger, then you would know how to set the -g your ownself. If you weren't that familiar with it, then you would have huge code and no idea how to fix it. > > > thanks... > > > Marc G.

Well, I figured out how to solve the problem...(but not exactly what caused it) I recompiled inetd, and things work just fine! I don't see what difference that could make, since it doesn't seem to use any libraries other than libc...go figure.

Umm. I'm not sure that's what Christian was looking for. I believe he's looking for a system with does ethernet packet forwarding, not IP packet forwarding. i.e. a full ethernet bridge. This possibly won't be TOO difficult to do using the bpf i/f's, it's just a question of writing the software to do it. I haven't heard of any for FreeBSD.

It's not too difficult, but performance is going to be *very* bad if you have to copy every single packet into memory, just to discover that it must be thrown away. Especially if you have ISA ethernet cards. Better performance can be achieved if you copy just the ethernet header (DST+SRC+IP TYPE), check it, and then decide whether to throw it away, or copy the rest of the packet. There are several DOS-based bridges. The one I made (pcbridge 2.77, available from ftp://ftp.iet.unipi.it/pub/bridge/bdg277.tar.Z) has the advantage of being ROMable, supports up to 5 cards on a single PC, accumulates statistics on the network, runs on 286+ with as low as 128K RAM, and can be remotely controlled. It uses the technique described before to achieve good performance. We have several of them here, they have been running for more than two years without problems (ftp through 3 bridges in a row can run at 500KB/s with no problem, if other traffic allows it). The only limitation is that it requires WD80x3 cards (or clones). At the time I wrote the code, they were among the best price/performance choice. Now I have troubles finding WD clones, SMC has apparently discontinued them and the ones I can find cost more than a PCI Ethernet card. This summer I started a rewrite of the bridge code using the FreeBSD bootrom code, in order to support other cards (NE2000 etc.), unfortunately I did not have time to complete the port.

Hi, I am attempting to install FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release onto a disk which has head/track/sector translation. My translation has a large number of heads (>16) so that I can have some large DOS (apologies) partitions. I believe that I am having difficulties because of the numbers of heads. Could you please advise me of the manuals I should be reading to overcome this problem. I have a degree of control over the translation, and FreeBSD appears to install correctly with 16 heads or less (but this limits the total apparent disk area I have available). Further, I have written at some point to most of the disk successfully with DOS, so the medium seems OK. In case I am barking up the wrong tree, I include (what appear to be) the relevant areas of debug messages. (As you can see the geometry is 64 hds, 1024 trks, 63 secs - ideally I would like something of the order of 123 hds, 737 trks, 46 secs (what my controller card recommends)).

You might ask questions@freebsd.org about IPX. Basically, you install FreeBSD on machine with two ethernet interfaces. Let us say you want to bridge networks 10.0.1.0 and 10.0.2.0 and your network interfaces are named ed0 and ed1 ifconfig ed0 inet 10.0.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.1.255 ifconfig ed1 inet 10.0.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255 sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 And you are done. I don't think you will notice and performance loss. 10 mbits/sec is pretty slow. It may be necessary to change the routing on your hosts depending on how the bridge was working. For example host 10.0.1.2 might need a route added like route add default 10.0.1.1 or route add 10.0.2.0 10.0.1.1 depending on how things are organized.

Both the NCR SCSI and the 3Com 3C509 don't seem to initialise the cards/chips properly as both sometimes fail to work following a warm boot and require a cold boot to function. I remember reading somewhere that this was a problem with the 3c509 driver, but the NCR also has problems which is a little strange. Would it be possible to simply snarf the initialisation code from the respective Linux drivers as that never had any problems booting up?

You can get the SMC 'Elite16 Series' from Data Comm Warehouse. Its not in the catalog but they stock the 'Combo' version (8013WC) which is thick/thin/aui at ~$150. You can probably get the thin or thick- only version for a few bucks less.

Yes. It's relatively trivial, other than short/long name synchronization and the short name numeric tail generation mechanism. I'm certain the mtools code doesn't do case conversion or case sensitivity on long name storage but not on long name lookup, and I'm sure that it doesn't handle Unicode case range vector tables. > There's also an xmsdos file system for linux to look at... Less useful because any derivitive work from that would be GPL'ed. > You can still read/write the files, but they're in the > munged form (each "long file name" has a corresponding 8+3 name). Yep. What's wanted is a mechanism for accessing either or both from a UNIX interface, and then choose one based on FS composition using VFS layers. The same thing goes for UMSDOS support of the --linix-.--- long name and metadata support.

I have not been able to quite successfully use NCSA DOS telnet with local FreeBSD hosts. It works just fine with remote (WAN link), but when I try to connect to a FreeBSD host on the local LAN, only cooked mode works. Connecting to SCO or other Unix hosts doesn't show this problem. I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5, but I have the lastest telnetd source from -current (to protect against the ENVIRON hole). The original 2.0.5 telnetd would do sort of random combinations of echo and block mode, but once I finally rolled the right dice, everything would work fine. The newer daemons get those options right the first time and every time, but never seem to do anything but cooked mode right (except, of course, when I connect remotely). The part about working right for remote hosts and failing for local hosts was the same, even though the failure modes are different... Since I am not willing to do all my editing with "ed," and since I can't use elm and lots of other things, I'd really like to get this working. Anyway, I thought I'd just go in and roll my own telnet daemon to hard-code the modes that I need, but I quickly got lost in that morass of timings and tty modes and telnet modes and what-not. Anyway who can help me, I'd really appreciate it... BTW, I did go looking for a different telnet client for DOS, but haven't had much luck there, either.

If a new release of mtools is imminent (or if it has some of the features I'm patching in), it'd be useful to know about.

We run an ftp site that almost as popular as Walnut Creek's (roughly 400,000 file transfers per month). Naturally I found that the generic kernel would run out of file handles almost immediately (5 min. max.) that was at 24 incoming sessions. Besides I certainly planned on rebuilding the kernel anyway. So I config'd to 128 -- it complained that this was > 64, so I brought it down to 64 and rebuilt. Stop reading if you've heard this one before..... Ahh -- this must be news then -- she reboots! The 2.0 kernel (which I had tried first) would wait ten minutes (getting upto 70 ftp sessions or so) and then panic. 2.0.5 had the grace to refrain from lulling me into a false sense of security by dying immediately. It was a simple matter to reboot on the generic kernel, 'ifconfig de0 down' and build one with MAXUSERS set to 32. That was stable but would run out of file handles at ~95+ users (under a half hour). So I built her again with a setting of 63 and brought her back up. I've been monitoring her for a week now with a cron job to mail me ftpcount's every hour and an entry in rc.local to mail me a dmesg on every reboot (root is .forwarded to another box inside -- from which I'm mailing this). There have been no more reboots. The ftpcount has been averaging 150 and the I wrote a test to start 200 concurrent processes (while 50 users were in from outside) at which she didn't even blink. So, moral of that story is -- don't set MAXUSERS to 64. This is a Pentium 90 with 64Mb of RAM, NCR PCI SCSI and a DEC PCI ethernet (only about a Gig online). Obviously I don't know if more RAM would allow me to get past this point. I suspect that MAXUSERS=63 will allow this machine to keep our T1 (and the new second one that's on order) completely flooded for some time to come. Since I put this up I'm not getting any more complaints about being unable to connect. I'm getting some about transfer rates -- but as I said -- we've already got another T1 on order. The Sun3 is still serving 100 concurrent (almost all day and night) so we're running an aggregate of 250 concurrent connections on average. The webserver is also getting about 100,000 times a day.

Upgrade to 2.1. I have maxusers set at 200 on wcarchive. The only panics it experiances are caused by the hardware (we have a 2 bit memory error that keeps causing problems). ...but this is only happening about once in 12 days. It otherwise hums along at 350+ users (the limit is 400 at the moment).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Linux apparently has the ability to "masquerade" IP addresses, so that addresses from ANY machine on my network will appear, to the outside world, as coming from only one address. for example: My home network uses the class C address 192.160.60.xxx. I connect to the outside world using PPP, and my PPP provider dynamically assigns me a address, usually in the range of (Class C) 204.32.201.xxx. BUT, my PPP provider DOES NOT know about my home-brew network (192.160.60.xxx), nor can they provide a static route to it. Thus, accessing the outside world from 192.160.60.100 (which happens to be my freeBSD machine, running ppp) works fine, BUT if I try to access the outside world from any of the various other DOS, Win95, OS/2, ... boxes in my house won't work, because, even though my FreeBSD machine forwards packets, the other internet machine I'm trying to communicate with doesn't have a clue as to how to reach the 192.160.60.xxx network. What the IP_MASQUERADE thing that Linux implements does, is to "masquerade" packets coming from all machines on my 192.160.60.xxx network, dynamically "rewriting" them to "pretend" like they're all coming from one machine (mainly, the address that my PPP provider assigns me, 204.32.201.xxx.) THIS way, the machine I'm trying to talk to, knows how to get to the 204.32.201.xxx net, and everything's happy. The follownig blurb from the Linux NET-2-HOWTO file should (hopefully) better explain exactly what I'm trying to say: -----cut here 13.11. IP_MASQUERADE - allow a number of hosts to pretend to be one. If you are one of the many people who have some sort of local network at home, whether it be a couple of machine connected via a slip/plip/ppp link to each other, or a number of machines connected to a private ethernet network who also has a dial-up Internet connection then you have probably at one time or another wanted the machines not directly connected to be able to communicate with the Internet. This is normally achieved by getting a valid register IP network address for your local network and asking your Internet Service Provider to kindly provide a network route to your network connection instead of the single host route they were previously providing. Unfortunately many Internet Service Providers will ask you to provide a good deal more dollars for the priveledge of better utilising the bandwidth of your connection and you probably don't much like that idea. IP_MASQUERADING provides a clever solution to this problem by making all of the machines on your network look like one very active networked machine. It does this by performing real-time, on the fly address translations. Most of the code was authored by Pauline Middelink .

For generating the random numbers I use the following piece of code: #include #include #include #include #include main() { int i; long t; t = time(NULL); srandom((u_int)t); printf("%ld %d %d %d\n",t, random() % 8, random() % 8, random() % 8); } To my surprise the range of numbers generated is not random at all between multiple invocations of the program.

Ldconfig reads a list of directories that you give it, and produces a database in /var/run that tells ld where to go looking for stuff during runtime. As root, you could just run it again. Pick some time that nothing else furious is going on in your system (I wouldn't do it while a make was chugging away!) then issue: ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib All my shared libs are in one of those 3 places, so this would work for me.

Tell him or her to "say 'Hi' to Phil". 8-). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's my take on the whole idea: What does a disk/file defragmenter do? Well, lets talk about a disk defragmenter, since files will only ever contain one frag in UFS. It relocates the data blocks on the disk so as to reduce seeking, typically for sequential access. Most UNIX access (and even Windows95 and WindowsNT access) is random (executables are not loaded fully into memory to cause them to run). Strike one. But UFS lays out the disk in terms of cylinder groups and clusters anyway, as long as you have it doing time optimation. And since it is multitasking, the cluster size is intentional to fit with the locality of reference model trade between access time for one application and another. "Optimization" this way will typically not help. Especially if there is something like SCSI or ESDI sector sparing and the media insn't perfect. Strike two. Well when does a seek occur? When one sector and the next logically adjacent sector are seperated by a physical track boundry. Which means to do placement optimization, you need to know some information about the disk (which is available, though not commonly available) regarding physical time for various operations. You also have to know the real physical geometry for the device. Which is impossible for ZBR or other translated geometry drives, unless they are SCSI II and support the geometry query extension. Strike 3. Seems like a terrifically limited applicability for the amount of work required and hardware specific nature of the resulting program.

Tapes in UNIX are streams of bytes that are not block addressable in most UNIX drivers. A tape is divided into logical extents sperated by EOT marks and terminated by two soft EOT marks or a physical EOT (whichever comes first). The VMS init command writes an ANSI header to a block addressable device, which subsequent backup programs read and (potentially) rewrite on a block addressable basis. Typically UNIX tapes aren't block addressable because the devices themselves aren't block addressable (ie: QIC-11/QIC-24 helical scan). This carries through to the other drivers because UNIX wants all devices to look the same. > How about some ex backup commands ? There are example commands on the following man pages: tar, cpio, dump. Dump is closest to the VMS backup utility, though it applies to full devices (unless you pick up some of the recent patches on the -hackers list to allow it to apply to subtrees). You will need to know your device name. If you are using a DAT, you may need to use the "mt" command to set the block size. People who automate backups typically use the "Amanda" system, which you can find in the "ports" collection and simply install. There is a VMS backup/restore utility capable of reading/writing VMS backup format tapes, and ANSI tapes in general. I believe it is called "vmsbackup" or "ansitape" or something like that. It is on wuarchive.wustl.edu in the comp.unix.sources archive (via FTP).

Maybe it doesn't want it's girlfriend hearing what you're telling it. Let me ask you a question in return : why is a rake? On the off chance that you're one of those poor souls without a sense of humour : WHERE ARE THE DETAILS? We're not psychic, and if you don't help, we can't do anything for you. And won't. So : - what sort of tape? - what sort of disk(s)? - what sort of SCSI controller? - is your SCSI bus installed and terminated correctly? ARE YOU VERY SURE? - which version of FreeBSD are you running? - how are you performing the backup? - what does "hanging up" mean? This is not a technical term. - What other symptoms do you see?
