No. There does exist a Netware server CAPI specification in the CAPI Version 2.0 specification (pp. 167), where is also a reference to a Novell specification "Netware CAPI Manager and CAPI Driver Specification". It seems to be an NLM. I have not seen such an NLM yet, it is normally part of separate products (like the AVM multiprotocol router). > How about a 32 bit NDIS CAPI driver for the card? No. And no for almost any card i know of. They simply supply you with a CAPI because almost every (ISDN-aware) application (data/telephone/cept/ X.25/video) speaks CAPI and _not_ NDIS or ODI. Also available are NDIS interfaces to CAPI, but the CAPI still runs in real mode. There are packet driver to CAPI TSR's available, i.e. to let an application like pcroute or nos talk to an ethernet and an ISDN board. All this just runs in real mode. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

It's a _huge_ thing, and I want to swap out my present MAG-17F for it. I have a couple of problems, and I'm looking for assistance. One thing is the cable that came with it. One end is a perfectly normal 15 pin VGA, the other end has been hacked, and just ends in 5 wires. The wires are red, green, blue, gray, and black. I've been told that the red, green, and blue are the RGB video, black is sync, and gray ground. What I need it the kind of connector that the Sun monitor seems to want, which is a very strange one: sort of a 25 pin D connector, with several of the pins being replaced with larger coax connectors. Like a D-connector on steroids. Does anyone know where I might get one of these beasts, and maybe how to wire it? I doubt I could even count pins right on it (unless maybe it comes labeled).

This marks the first time that i have been able to install freebsd sans floppies! WORKED EXCELLENT!! YOW! So, obviously, i can hand start ppp and use the term part and dial up and go. Once i try to automate this, such that i have a configuration file with an entry called uw: and try to use "ppp uw" and "dial", i no longer have net access. weird. I get "dial OK!" and "login OK!" but never anything about "using Packet mode" or the "~" u get when u type PPP at the remote command line in "term" mode. The server i am logging into has dynamic addressing and the possiblity of using several ip's for both the server and my end. I used the techniques listed in the man page to specify a requested server and user ip, and when i type "show ipcp" i get the requested ip's. But none of my net apps ( telnet, etc ) run. Since i get a hostname lookup failure and i have the dns in my resolv.conf, i assume i have no net. so, if anybody out there in questions land has a config file they are using with a dynamic ip addressing scheme, i would like to see it. I suspect i am missing some command that starts packet mode from the config file, but i have not seen anything about that in the /ppp/*sample files tnx! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 11 10:38:12 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA18948 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 11 Feb 1996 10:38:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br (kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br [143.106.13.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA18939 for ; Sun, 11 Feb 1996 10:36:46 -0800 (PST) Received: (from vazquez@localhost) by kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br (8.6.12/8.6.12/FreeBSD2.1) id QAA26425; Sun, 11 Feb 1996 16:07:35 GMT From: Pedro A M Vazquez Message-Id: <199602111607.QAA26425@kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br> Subject: Re: IP Masquerading To: terry@lambert.org (Terry Lambert) Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 16:07:35 +0000 () Cc: ejs@bfd.com, ptroot@uswest.com, mc7953@mclink.it, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199602052232.PAA00445@phaeton.artisoft.com> from "Terry Lambert" at Feb 5, 96 03:32:02 pm X-Organization: Instituto de Quimica - Unicamp X-URL: http://www.iqm.unicamp.br/ X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Terry Lambert said: > > > Actually, this isn't what he's talking about.

If FreeBSD can work with NDIS/ODI, > it should work with Packet Driver (PD) with ease. The ODI driver must be a server-ODI driver. Client-ODI drivers are real-mode drivers. Server-ODI drivers are drivers to allow the use of the card in NetWare itself. The ODI module specification is available from a provoder perspective on the Novell FTP site. Since the interface is "black box", it's possible to write an ODI consumer from the specification (I did this a while ago; it's part of the code that USL claimed when they bought Novell -- I know, I know, but that's what it felt like). It wouldn't be too hard to replicate. Utah State University (usu.edu) has a large NetWare/Novell FTP server with all sorts of tools, specifications, and object file formats. You's have to lok around on archie by host to find it; it should take all of five minutes using the www archie interface. The most recent Cygnus binutils support ODI object formats; Cygnus was paid by Novell to build an NLM develeopement environment, and the ODI drivers are loaded on the server as NLM's. This would probably be a 2-3 month effort, assuming you had two or more ethernet cards that had server-ODI drivers. Probably about 80 hours of work, total.

I believe the connector is identical to the Amiga 1000 monitor connectors, if that's any help. It probably won't be. The monitors are fixed frequency, so it is unlikely that you will be able to run them in a normal "text mode" without a special video card. You need to talk to the XFree86 list on this one.

If so how? The SCO version might under ibcs2 emulation. Under FreeBSD-current, the Linux version should work too. The people that make asWedit have said they would make a FreeBSD (NetBSD) version if they had a development platform in-house. You can contact Andrzej Stochniol (A.Stochniol@ic.ac.uk) if you know anyone willing to provide a system. I've built ASHE successfully under FreeBSD, and it works OK. It's pretty basic (A Simple HTML Editor), but aswedit looks more promising.

Being an ex-Amiga owner, I can testify it's not so, not nearly. The old Amiga connector was a 23 pin D connector. The one I'm hassling with has the outside dimensions of a 25 pin D connector, but enough of the pins inside have been removed to make way for 3 very small coax connectors. I have found a vendor of a (hopefully compatible) video card, a Photon card; they want $250 for a 2M card. Any references to either the wiring of the connector or a better price on the card are very welcome! I have a VGA cable with this, but the end that should hold the Sun connector (I've been told this is a 13W3) ends in wires, not the connector that hooks into the monster Sun monitor. BTW, I've had response from 5 people, and they've all been helpful in getting the info together. Thanks! > > It probably won't be.

I then started the server on the bsd box, then told the SGI that it had a slave server (read the yp / nis man pages on the platform of the master server -- you need to add the new server's name to a file within /var/yp/). I then had the SGI force update the maps, so that it updated the (empty) maps on the bsd box. Keep no NIS source datafiles on the bsd box. The pertinant parts of my /etc/sysconfig: nis_clientflags="-ypset" nis_ypsetflags="localhost" nis_serverflags="" Don't run yppasswd on the slave. When you reboot the box, you should see that it is ypbound to itself, and all should be cool.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to configure my FreeBSD box as a gateway to an ISP but I don't want to depend on that ppp link for mail and news. I already have a fast uucp link with another provider. In other words I need to be able to use my LAN, resolving my internal names as usual, forwarding all my mail through my uucp link and sometime be able to surf the Internet resolving names outside my domain. The iijppp link is set up properly and filtering is done such as DNS packets don't make the daemon dial. What is difficult to me is how to configure named. The root.cache file points to three DNS hosts on the provider domain. If I start named without the -r option all my mail gets queued forever and some services become slow (very slow), but all works well when the ppp link with my ISP is up. If I start named with the -r option my LAN works well but I'm unable to resolve any host name outside my domain also if the ppp link is up. Then, how can I make my LAN and my Internet link live together? Thanks in advance.

I guess it pays to disable the plug-n-play feature with the 3COM 3c509 cards. I now have some more questions... I recompiled my kernel...well, ok, I tried to recompile my kernel...I'm using an IBM Personal Computer 350-P75 w/ 16MB RAM. Anyway, I thought that, since I will be working with several machines locally, I would try and use the PCVT console instead of the SCO console. So, I did, and the result was that I couldn't get anything to work much at all. So, I guess I'm wondering if the PCVT console works anything like the SCO console? Does it support the ALT-F? multi-terminals? My big problem right now is that I need to have my TERM set to vt??? in order to connect nicely with other machines. This does not work, however, as the console is set to cons25. Now, I know I can change this in the /etc/ttys files, but when I just do a TERM=vt220 from the command line, I get garbage and have troubles doing much of anything. In any case, if anybody could give me a couple pointers on this, or point me towards the right documentation area, I'd be grateful. Second, I got X-Windows up and running (*big sigh of relief*). However, I would like to a) save my settings when I end an Xsession and b) would like to be able to switch out of X-Windows to the command-line mode. Is this possible? I currently have my kernel compiled for Xserver and I have the xdm -nodaemon line in my /etc/ttys file for ttyv4. Also, do I have to customize the X environment manually, or is there a pop-up program for doing that? Also, what other features are handy? Again, even if someone could point me to soe good documentation (and I apologize for not reading the online docs, but I'm to that frustrated, burn-out point right now). Finally, I would like to use the sysinstall package in order to read the online help, etc. However, when I cd to the /stand directory and try to execute the sysinstall program, I end up with an error saying that there is a '(' missing somewhere. Any ideas on what this error is referring to? Thank you for your sufferance and help!

Yes, with a few makefile tweaks it works fine. I just put the two relevant makefiles on ftp://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/pub. Note: I have it setup to be linked with gnumalloc because without it, postgres sucked up all my swap (64MB) when generating an rtree index on a large (310,000 tuples) table. With gnumalloc it did just fine. I expect it would work fine with phkmalloc (which I'm using in my libc now) but I have not tried it.

The Micropolis 4110 you are using is a very fast & agressive driver of the SCSI bus, so you should check your SCSI termination and make sure that you are using active termination at both ends, and that your cables and connectors are all up to snuff. You should also make sure that you don't have too much termination on the bus (ie. the 4110 and the SCSI controller should be at the ends of the bus, and the CDROM should be between them with its termination OFF). Also make sure that you have SCSI parity enabled on all of the devices. > my guess it may be related to disk geometry, but i do not know what > disk geometry should be used. during novice installation, disk geometry > shown as: 1002 cyl/64hd/32sect. > When i checked micropolis web site, for hp workstation the disktab > shown 1052 MB 512 bytes/secto, 5400 rpm, ns=93, nt=9, nc=1226 > and for SUN workstation, ncyl=1998,nhead=9,nsect=114. > is the problem above due to disk geometry? No, the above problem would not be caused by incorrect disk geometry.

My next question, how can I connect the pseudo addresses belonging to the LAN, to the class C address that is to my ISP? I currently have the server set for routing, and have made the device entries into the sysconfig file. In addition, I am currently connecting to my ISP via PPP, without much success. I am using the PPP terminal within freeBSD. My connection is made, login is successful, however soon after connection, I get a "NO CARRIER" message, and then the terminal locks up!!

Is this fixed yet, and what is causing the system to crash with quotas turned on? -- ============================================= Matt Rosenberg Washington University School of Law St. Louis, MO, USA matt@www.wulaw.wustl.edu http://www.wulaw.wustl.edu/~matt/ ============================================= From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 11 21:37:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id VAA26042 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 11 Feb 1996 21:37:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from louie.udel.edu (louie.udel.edu [128.175.1.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA26032 for ; Sun, 11 Feb 1996 21:37:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from snow-white.ee.udel.edu by louie.udel.edu id aa19864; 12 Feb 96 0:37 EST Received: from stimpy.eecis.udel.edu by snow-white.ee.udel.edu id aa01293; 12 Feb 96 0:36 EST Received: from snow-white.ee.udel.edu by stimpy.eecis.udel.edu id aa15244; 12 Feb 96 5:36 GMT To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Help Upgrading Kernel Organization: Mos Eisley Candy Store MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <15239.824103403.1@louie.udel.edu> Date: Mon, 12 Feb 1996 00:36:43 -0500 From: Jerry Alexandratos Message-ID: <9602120536.aa15244@stimpy.eecis.udel.edu> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've got a few questions about upgrading my kernel. I want to go from the stable kernel to the current one (I'm hoping for better Linux emulation). I thought that for kernel upgrades all I really needed was just /sbin, /lib, /include, and /usr/src/sys. I sup'ed all of those and tried to make them, but got a bunch of errors. Then I realized this only works when staying withing the same kernel type (or so I remember hearing). So, I sup'ed everything except for "games" and did a "make world" under /usr/src. This failed. I think install couldn't find some .texi file that is was suppossed to install so it quit the entire compile. So my question is, what did I mess up? Should I have done something else? If not, it there anyway to tell it to ignore these errors and keep on going? Do I need to update any of the bsd.mk files in /usr/share first?

For starters, your LAN is going to have to be set up to use the invalid IP addresses, in 10.x.x.x. Then, if I remember correctly, you are going to have to set up proxy support with ppp or something similar. (firewall?) Don't ask me how to set that up, I have a friend trying to get the same situation, I don't know if he ever got it up or not. > My next question, how can I connect the pseudo addresses belonging to the > LAN, to the class C address that is to my ISP?

Sounds like a routing problem; check netstat -rn and make sure a default route exists to the IP address assigned to you by the remote. Use "route add default " and delete out any other routes that may be clogging the works up.

Any ideas on what this error is referring to? I don't think you need to run sysinstall after the system is installed; you can do them without it. The Online Help are just some documents laying around on the floppy. Just mount it and read away. :) They are also on the FTP site and possibly in /usr/share.

Is it only possible to install it at installation time? I have tried fdisk and disklabel, but there is nothing. I installed Winidows 95 on one of my machines, and it overwrote the MBR, (what would you expect from MS) so I wanted to reactivate it, but there is no way, is this correct or can I? 2. How can I reduce the fragementation on my slices? One of my machines is a www server, 24 hrs per day, and I need to maintain the disk, how can I get the fragmentation down?

Hello! Unfortunaly you didn't mention whether you're using syscons or pcvt. So I'll assume you're using syscons. The easiest way would be to prevent the kernel to perform a shutdown after pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL. However, it would be nice to have an option in /etc/sysconfig which is passed to the kernel via sysctl. The attached patch is against version 1.117.4.7 of syscons.c. So the line numbering might be different from yours. After applying the patch you have to add "options NOSCSHUTDOWN" to your kernel- config-file in /sys/i386/conf. Finally, recompile your kernel.

The first problem is that I can reach the internet, but the connection has some sort of "garbage" and a telnet connection will immediately close after the login prompt (^D is getting sent??). The other problem lies in the ld.so area. Socks 5 tries to get the shared library to preload before any of the rest of the libraries (has socksified version of connect, etc in its shared library that need to overide the ones in libc). It tries to do this via an environment varieable LD_PRELOAD, which does not exist under FreeBSD. Is there any other way of achieving the same result??

Do you mean when they use a url like this: http://computer.domain.dom/ or http://computer.domain.dom/blah/foo Just call it "index.html" and put it in the directory.

You should be able to build a socksified libc and fix runsocks to pick it up instead of the regular libc. This should have been possible with socks4 as well. It is only useful for using precompiled stuff so you don't need it if you can link against the static lib.

I can say for certain that FreeBSD will not work with this setup, after spending an hour on a friend's machine last night installing FreeBSD, and five hours fixing it back up. :( > Installing FreeBSD will most likely result in an unbootable BSD > partition (best case) or totally destroy your DOS partition(s) (worst > case). This machine had an 850MB and 340MB IDE drives with the DDO drive manager. Figuring it was simply another boot manager, I went ahead and installed 2.1.0-R on the 340MB drive (second drive). Windows '95 was already on the 850. fdisk shows a small 128-sector partition on the 850MB drive. Curiously, it claimed that it started at sector -64 (yes, a negative number) and ended at sector +63. ;-) I should have stopped there, but my friend said he could always re-install Win95 if anything broke, so we pressed on. The installation itself went without a hitch. When the machine rebooted and ran DDO, all it could say was "Press spacebar to boot drive A:" and refused to recognize a bootable OS on the IDE drives. I stuck in the FreeBSD install floppy and was able to manually boot off wd(1,a}/kernel. Everything came up fine, including X, so I turned my attention to other work. In the meantime, my friend tried to re-install DDO on the first drive. I don't know the sequence of events over the next few hours, but he ended up with no Win95 partition and a "can't mount root" panic with FreeBSD. Someone else is working on the machine now, and I believe the latest effort has produced a working DDO manager running the OS/2 Warp boot manager, with only Win95 installed so far. To sum up: Just spend some extra money and get SCSI. ;-) -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) Systems Administrator, Internex Online Inc.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Once again, for lack of a newsfeed, I bring my questions to the FreeBSD lists. Sorry for the annoyance. I'm involved in a project where I need to control the source address of a socket used in a connect() call. Basically, the service I need to connect to can only accept one connect from each address, but they'll let us connect from 4 machines. What I need to do is set up a machine with 4 addresses, then open a connection to the server machine from each of the 4 addresses. So far, my initial attempts to use bind() before connect() have been a wash, as bind returns an errno of EADDRNOTAVAIL, regardless of which address I'm using. I was under the impression that bind could be used before a connect to set the source address. Is this wrong? Is there a correct way to do this (needs to be portable to Linux)? Feel free to answer in private email.

Sometimes when I ping from the machine to the net in this situation I get a "sendto: no buffer space" or similar message making me think that there's an mbuf leak somewhere in the zp driver.

You probably are trying to bind a socket to a port below 1024; these are reserved ports. You must be root, as these are used for vouchsafe protocols, like rcmd and/or rlogin/rcp/rsh.

They put everything into a "smaller" package and did change stuff a bit. But yes, I had a driver under BSD/OS that was unofficial (if_ef.c) and it worked flawlessly. It was written for the 589B so I figured there wouldn't be a problem. >AFAIK, there are no leaks that I've seen.

I've got 9600, so I'll change that and try it out. I gather I have to use the disk that came with the card in DOS to do that right?

I don't know if this is the source of your problem, but the following caused me a bit of head scratching. When bind() is given a specific IP address, it looks through the list of interfaces and tries to match it to each interface address. The way it does the compare is by a byte-by-byte compare of the sockaddr structure. But you're passing a (sockaddr_in *), cast to a (sockaddr *)... Now if you haven't specifically set the length field, this means that some irrelevant bytes in the structure may screw up the comparison. So the solution seems to be to zero out your sockaddr_in structure first. At least that worked for me. Maybe some IP interface expert could comment on this? -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I installed FreeBSD completely through the Walnut Creek CD-ROM, using the novice installation. I installed it onto a partitioned 850 MB drive that was not the master drive (D: on my system). The drive had (before installation of FreeBSD) a 300MB DOS partition, with nothing after that. As I understand it, the FreeBSD boot manager should be able to support this non-standard boot. When finished, it told me to restart my computer. I did. When I rebooted, before the "Starting MS-DOS" message, I get the message: NO ROM BASIC SYSTEM HALTED It boots fine from floppy disk. By running fdisk, I found that no active partition was set, probably causing the errors. Setting it to the C: drive made DOS work fine, but no FreeBSD... FreeBSD is somewhere on my hard drive--how can I start it or get the boot manager to work?

Roughly speaking, every printer which is supported by a ghostscript driver is supported. Newer printers like EPSON stylus are supported by ghostscript 3.51 which is in the FreeBSD ports collection. There is a filter (apsfilter) which supports text printing to postscript. I interfaced a serial DECln03r Scriptprinter (Postscript) to my machine's serial port.

Since you didn't mention it, I'll assume you're using 2.1. The GENERIC kernel comes with Aha2940 support compiled in already, so basically, it's just a matter of stripping out most of the other stuff that you're not using. Just leave the pci and scsi stuff in and you should be okay. You can also strip out the ahb device (and probably more). (Is this what you wanted, or did I miss something about your question?

It looks very stable and robust. However I have one question about using floating point arithmatic under FreeBSD. The Intel processors (80486/Pentium) support the so called extended precision (or temporary double) format. This is an 80-bit format which allows floating point operations with 64-bit mantissa and 16 bit exponent. The gcc-compiler and also the gnu-assembler (as) supports this format. But if I use this format under FreeBSD then only 53-bit mantissas are used (as for standard doubles). I used the following program to test the long double format: main() { long double aa, bb; double b; aa = 1.0; bb = 1.0/0x100000; /* divide by 2^20 */ bb /= 0x100000; /* idem */ bb /= 0x100000; /* idem */ bb = bb + 1.0; /* bb <-- 1 + 2^(-60). For a standard double the term */ /* 2^(-60) disappears due to roundoff. For a long */ /* double this term still is maintained. */ bb = bb -aa; /* bb <-- (1 + 2^(-60)) - 1. This equals zero for */ /* standard doubles, 2^(-60) for long doubles. */ b = bb; /* Convert to double in order to use printf with %le. */ /* 2^(-60) can be converted from long double to */ /* double. */ printf("sizeof double: %d\n", sizeof(double)); printf("sizeof long double: %d\n", sizeof(long double)); printf("b equals %le\n", b); } The result of this program is the following output: sizeof double: 8 sizeof long double: 12 b equals 0.0e0 This program should give a non-zero result for b (2^(-60)) but it gives zero. It uses 53-bit precision only and hence the value 2^(-60) disappears due to roundoff when adding 1.0 and then subtracting 1.0 again. I also used the same program under Linux 1.2.13 and there it gives the correct non-zero result. As a final test I compiled the program as follows under Linux: gcc -S ldouble.c gcc -c ldouble.s This yields a module ldouble.o and I copied this to the FreeBSD system where I linked it in order to obtain an executable binary: gcc -o ldouble ldouble.o So the object code has been generated by the Linux system (which supports the long double correctly) and the binary has been made under FreeBSD 2.1. But even with the above trick it does not work at full precision under FreeBSD. I'm wondering why the code does not work under FreeBSD with full precision. Even at the assembler and object level I do the same as under Linux but still I do not succeed in obtaining the full extended precision. I use a FreeBSD 2.1 kernel with math emulation switched off and npx0 enabled. This kernel is running on a Pentium 100 MHz with PCI bus. I did the same tests (with the same results) on a 66 MHz Intel 80486DX2 with a PCI bus as well. The Linux system (where the long double precision _does_ work) contains an AMD 80486DX2 running at 80 MHz with a VESA local bus. The Linux kernel has math emulation switched off as well. The FreeBSD kernel reports that npx0 is used, using the INT 16 interface. Under Linux a similar message appears (FPU reports errors using interrupt 16). I think that the hardware and kernel configurations are OK, so I think I do something wrong with the software. If you can help me with this problem I would be very pleased. Please let me hear if you know any solution to this problem.

I was wanting to have the system bring up the link (ie. dial) upon bootup without haveing to do the ping command to 'fudge' an outgoing packet. But I do think the start_if.interface script is rather elegant, and will do it that way. (Albeit, that doesn't solve the original question).

I configured a kernel with this in it: options "CD9660" options "ATAPI" controller wdc0 disk wd0 disk wd1 controller wdc1 device wcd0 It recognised wdc0 and wdc1 and the disks wd0 and wd1, but didn't see the wcd cdrom player. (not at boot time, and when I tried mounting wcd0c it said: device not configured.) The device entries are in the /dev dir, so that can't be it. I also tried 'controller wcd0' instead of 'device wcd0' in the kernel config file, but without result. Can anybody help me with this ????

OK, here are my 'ddial' patches updated to the most recent version of ppp in -stable. If you use 'ppp -ddial host', it will do it's darndest to keep the link up *all* the time, no matter if there is traffic needing to be sent.

There are a number of possibilities: 1) The padding in the structure was not zeroed. Make sure to call `memset(&sin, 0, sizeof sin)' before filling it in. 2) The sin_len field is not set, or is set incorrectly. Make sure to set `sin.sin_len = sizeof sin' before using it. 3) The sin_port field is set to a value between 1 and 1023, and you are not root. Pick another port. 4) The sin_port and/or sin_addr fields are in the wrong byte order. Make sure that they are in network order. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I think what happened is that the install program put the boot manager onto the drive where you installed FreeBSD, instead of the first drive where it should be. What you'll need to do is manually install one of the boot managers from the CD (I prefer the beta osbs 2.0, personally) onto your C: drive. That done, everything should work fine.

I use the pppd for server (i run an ISP in Brazil) with 16 ppp in each machine. (486 DX66/170M(hd)/16MB memory/NE2000/dumb serial board) 1) enable pppd in the kernel by configure it with the number of ppp connections to be made for the machine. 2) create /etc/ppp/options: modem crtscts mtu 296 3) each time a user logs in, its shell enters a command like: /usr/sbin/pppd passive :200.250.250.75 the system starts up pppd and give the user the control protocol. of course, I have made a logic using awk that find the name of the terminal the user logs in and results it's IP. That is the way I used to do things in Brazil... Sergio de Almeida Lenzi.

The video card you are using illegally (IMO) uses the com3 address range. The SIO probe will probe all devices or none. When it probes the COM3: address range, your card is clobbered (it's nose gets cut off because it is sticking where it does not belong). You should boot "-c" and disable the SIO probe. When you have installed and come up correctly, you will need to rebuild a kernel that either has SIO3 ripped out of the array, or has no com port drivers. The process to rip com3 out of the array is described in the -questions list archive on www.freebsd.org.

When I try to proxy-arp for another IP address, I get the following message: [akasha] [10:28] [/tmp] [51] SU > arp -s 204.212.160.254 00:00:21:12:62:90 pub cannot intuit interface index and type for 204.212.160.254 This is a FreeBSD 2.1 machine. It gives the same message no matter what IP address I specify. I've read through arp.c but until I find some good documentation on the ins and outs of routing sockets it won't do me much good. I've tried compiling the kernel with ARP_PROXYALL but that didn't seem to change anything. BTW, what does it do? The kernel source wasn't very enlightening. The reason I need to do this is because I'm using this machine as a 'client' to dial into a ppp 'server' on an otherwise isolated subnet. The client is connected to the rest of the internet and is responsible for maintaining connectivity to the server. The addresses used for the ppp connection are taken from the subnet on which the client resides due to scarcity of IPs on the server side subnet. Because of this, the client needs to proxy-arp for the addresses used for the ppp connection. Without proxying, packets outbound to the rest of the internet which originated with the server ppp machine never can be responded to, because the return address is that of the server-side ppp interface, which the rest of the net thinks is found on the client's subnet. Normally (in a sane world) the client and server roles would be reversed, and the server ppp process would automatically proxy for the ppp addresses. However, in this case, the machine connected to the internet *must* be the one which performs the dialing out. Both machines run FreeBSD 2.1 and ijppp. Can anyone tell me why adding the arp entry doesn't work, or perhaps a better way of solving this problem? Thanks!

I'm assuming that there are other machines connected to an ethernet controller on the 'client' machine as well? > Because of this, the client needs to proxy-arp for > the addresses used for the ppp connection. Because the other machines on the ethernet segment want to talk to the machines behind the PPP machine? That's the only reason you would need proxy-arp. Otherwise, assuming that the 'internet' is routing all packets to your 'client' machine, your 'client' machine is smart enough to route the packets to their correct destination already. I'm using a gateway machine which is connected to the internet which is also providing dial-in connections and it works well. However, I need proxy arp so that the machines connected to the gateway box on the ethernet can also speak to the dial-in boxes.

Run make install from the build directory, or just copy it yourself. I use this simple script: mv -f /kernel.older /kernel.oldest 2>/dev/null mv -f /kernel.old /kernel.older 2>/dev/null mv -f /kernel /kernel.old 2>/dev/null cp -f kernel /kernel That keeps a few backups in case the new kernel is broken.

I apologize that it's not FreeBSD specific... but I couldn't seem to find the answer in the man page or ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/comp/unix/shell. Also, I don't get news right now... ok, enough apologies... Consider the following script: #!/bin/sh foo () { GLOBAL_ONE="foo_one" GLOBAL_TWO="foo_two" while read ARG; do GLOBAL_TWO=${ARG} done return 0 } bar () { GLOBAL_ONE="bar_one" GLOBAL_TWO="bar_two" } echo before : GLOBAL_ONE=${GLOBAL_ONE} and GLOBAL_TWO=${GLOBAL_TWO} echo "value" | foo echo foo set: GLOBAL_ONE=${GLOBAL_ONE} and GLOBAL_TWO=${GLOBAL_TWO} bar echo bar set: GLOBAL_ONE=${GLOBAL_ONE} and GLOBAL_TWO=${GLOBAL_TWO} The output of this script is: before : GLOBAL_ONE= and GLOBAL_TWO= foo set: GLOBAL_ONE= and GLOBAL_TWO= bar set: GLOBAL_ONE=bar_one and GLOBAL_TWO=bar_two Why!? Seems like have a "read" in the function foo() changes variable scoping or something. This "read" seems to be a very broken command... another example: $ cat foo foo-contents $ read VAR < foo $ echo $VAR foo-contents $ VAR= $ echo $VAR $ cat foo | read VAR $ echo $VAR $ exit So "read" seems to "know" whether its input is coming from a file or a pipe. Is this a bug or a feature? :-) Thanks, -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

That's not PCI's mistake. It's just the price you pay to have fully ISA compatible PCI cards (say the Buslogic 946C SCSI card) supported ... If you have a current generation Pentium PCI MB, then the PCI BIOS will assign one IRQ to each PCI device found, and you just have to specify which interrupts are available for PCI at all, not which one to use for each single slot. But given PC restrictions, this can make your ISA emulating PCI card break ...

In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Eric, If I read your question correctly, you want to creat multiple outbound connections, each from a different source IP address, but all on the same host box and physical interface. I had to do this under OSF/1 with > 60 IP addresses needed. Here is what I did as a quick fix. ( I haven't tried this under FreeBSD, but the man pages says it should work.) 1. Study 'ifconfig' man page, and the '-alias' option. 2. Write small program that takes interface and ip address as string args. netalias.c main(int argc, char *argv[]) { /* argv[1]=interface name argv[2]=new ip address */ char buffer[512]; sprintf (buffer,"ifconfig %s -alias %s", argv[1],argv[2]); return system (buffer); } (this code as example, fix as needed) 3. Make program setuid root so that it has permissions to add a new alias IP address. 4. From main program, determine needed IP; then system ("netalias le0 244.234.2.2"); // should add alias bind specific ip (244.234.2.2) in socket rather than 'inaddrany' This can all be done more elegantly, but this can be codded and tested faster than I can type this mail message. I eventually ended up with a daemon I called SNE for "Schizophrenic Network Entity". It proxied for any given IP address and port; doing listens, connects and passing data. Sort of a software router and spoofer. You may have to play some games with the routes so that replys to your aliases are routed back to the originating machine. Hope this helps.

I decided to install FreeBSD on my D drive. I made a boot.flp disk and booted from it. I partitioned the d drive wd1.

I'd recommend the Panasonic/Matushita CR-504B as an alternative. Similar performance, price etc., but far closer to the SCSI spec and thus less likely to give you grief later on. I don't know which chipset the Adaptec 1505 is based on; if you can look at the chip on it and see "AIC 6360" or "AIC 6260" then it's supported.

Two things that'll help: One is the printing section in the handbook - VERY useful when setting up printers, and the other is a program/package called Magic Filter, found on sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Printing (not *quite* sure that's the exact directory, but it's close). It is a "Linux" utility that compiles and runs just fine under FreeBSD, and is one heck of a print filter, as it'll handle anything you throw at it, provided you've got the proper tools installed. (Ghostscript is a must). Another thing: use the lptcontrol program to set the printer to using polled mode instead of interrupt mode - this usually will speed up printing a great deal. (Why the system doesn't like using interrupt mode is beyond me). // ------------------------------------- | |\ _,,,---,,_ // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - | ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ // Internet: jay@map.com | |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 | '---''(_/--' `-'\_) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 13 22:26:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA15302 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 13 Feb 1996 22:26:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from mramirez.sy.yale.edu (mramirez.sy.yale.edu [130.132.57.207]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA15297 for ; Tue, 13 Feb 1996 22:26:26 -0800 (PST) Received: (from mrami@localhost) by mramirez.sy.yale.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) id BAA26070; Wed, 14 Feb 1996 01:25:57 -0500 Date: Wed, 14 Feb 1996 01:25:57 -0500 (EST) From: Marc Ramirez Reply-To: mrami@minerva.cis.yale.edu To: Archie Cobbs cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: stupid sh tricks In-Reply-To: <199602132231.OAA10024@bubba.tribe.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 13 Feb 1996, Archie Cobbs wrote: > > Hi, > > This is a pretty basic sh(1) question.

Is this a bug or a feature? :-) Feature. sh handles pipes by forking. The read statement is being run in a child process, the child exits, and then the value is lost. I don't know how you would propagate that info backwards... You could get around it using fifos, or you could do something like var="`cat foo`" if at all possible.

No need to go hacking /etc/rc.local for something > that is a standard system daemon, now is there? Under normal circumstances, I would say "yes" -- you should edit sysconfig and set namedflags. But (if I remember correctly) the original poster was trying to do something similar to what I do, and this approach didn't work for me. He wanted to run a named server over his PPP connection, and setting namedflags in /etc/sysconfig causes named to be run much earlier than ppp (which I put in /etc/rc.local). This causes named to crap out when trying to contact the root nameservers. If I put a call to named right after I run ppp in rc.local, then named doesn't complain, since ppp is enabled by then and the connection has dialed out. I suppose I could have added a "pppflags=..." to /etc/sysconfig and hacked in a call to ppp in /etc/rc, but I consider hacking the system-default /etc/rc* file even less tasteful than putting named and ppp both in /etc/rc.local.

I configured a kernel with this in it: options "CD9660" options "ATAPI" controller wdc0 disk wd0 disk wd1 controller wdc1 device wcd0 It recognised wdc0 and wdc1 and the disks wd0 and wd1, but didn't see the wcd cdrom player. (not at boot time, and when I tried mounting wcd0c it said: device not configured.) The device entries are in the /dev dir, so that can't be it. I also tried 'controller wcd0' instead of 'device wcd0' in the kernel config file, but without result. Can anybody help me with this ????

If sendmail decide to use a remote-mailer like "smtp" and recognize this will end up in sending to itself, famous "loop back to myself" appears. The way sendmail decide to use "local" is reading its configuration file, where lines like "Cwlocalhost" tell sendmail, "localhost" is local. If your host is named "tribeca.ios.com" adding a line "Cw tribeca.ios.com" should resolve the problem. Best to add any aliases, too.

(At least, from what I've seen) 1) Second hard drive (1.0 Gig) installed on wdc0, the kernel sees it, now I want to partition it, newfs it, and mount it. Somewhat confused on the best way to do it. How do others do this? (What specific steps do you take?) 2) I have a cd-rom ide drive (from creative labs) on irq 15. The boot up find the wdc1 fine, but not the cd-rom. What are the kernel mods that are needed? What I've tried so far didn't work. (Also, the 2.1 install kernel can't find it either.) I'm running FBSD-current (As of Feb3. ) My IDE controller can actually handle four drives, but neither dos or FBSD could see the cdrom on the IDE controller. Dos could see it on the card that came with the cdrom. I also have a soundblaster from creative labs( SB16) but the FBSD kernel couldn't see it there either. 3) Finally, when I play stuff through the SB16 (.au files) I just get some noise. It has the correct IRQ et al., anyone else see this?

The only difference between the B and the C revision (according to 3COM) is packaging. Are you *sure* the card is configured correctly under FreeBSD for the correct port, IRQ, and IOMEM that is saved in NVRAM? You can check it with the utility 3Com provides (but *don't* load card-services).

Are you *absolutely* sure that the card's configuration is the same as what FreeBSD expects? You need to make sure that the port, IRQ, *and* IOMEM are the same. (Unfortunately on the first two are settable, so the third must be obtained by looking at another menu entry in the program that configures them). Are you *sure* that you configured them w/out Card services running (which won't save the settings in NVRAM). Is the found on bootup? If yes, do you have the correct 'link' parameters set in the ifconfig line for your network connector?

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Yes, I'm back. I think that I figured out my PCVT problem. It's my guess that it is related to the fact that, after I have compiled the kernel for PCVT instead of the SCO console (which is sc0 versus vt0) and reboot my machine, I see a little error message go floating by that says something to the effect of it can't find vt0 or doesn't know what it is. That seems to be a wee bit of a problem as the entire darn console configuration revolves around it. Well, maybe not that severe. But, after that, it all goes downhill with errors like can't find /usr/.../mountdtab or something like that a few other errors. I can login ok, and for the most part can move around and all, but it isn't perfect. The reason I want to use PCVT instead of SCO console is because I am dealing with an assortment of UN*X flavors which I need to connect to, etc. With the SCO emulation, I get little bits of garbage when I try to communicated with other machines (little binary fragments is what it looks like). If anybody can help me with this, I would appreciate it as it is well over my head, I think (maybe not, but I kind of doubt it).

See the ctlinnd command. yes , it should solve the problem ... Good advice is to get and read thru the INN FAQ - it's absolutely the Best FAQ IMHO. I have other INN related Q for FreeBSD addicts :) here: what is expirience with running FreeBSD PCs as INND servers with full news feed ? Is it capable of handling the load ? Any IO/CPU limitations ? I run P6-200 here as news server - runs just fine, load averages are ~0.3-0.5 , readers peak at ~200-300, total of ~23.000 newsgroups in active, 3 days expire average, 370.000 - 420.000 inodes used in /usr/spool/uucp. 4 sites feed me , but I have feeling I do miss a LOT. I have average BW of 15-20Kbytes/sec to all 4 of 'em. Round-trips range from 40ms to 90ms. [ going away from freebsd-hackers here :) ] What can possibly be done to speed the things up ? Any sense in using batch/compression mode ,assuming 4 peers ? As I understand in this case IHAVE doesn't work so I'll be fed ALL articles and will have to check for whether I have 'em afterwards ? So even though me and my sender will certainly save some time in IHAVE/open() cycle, significant BW will be consumed by sending the (compressed)articles I already have. Any personal preferences as whose Newsfeed is the best ? :) Any1 willing to peer at NYC-DC area ? Rashid.

Yep, people aren't kidding when they say that. Between the FAQ and the Install.[12] documentation with inn-1.4unoff3, I was able to get my very first large-scale INN server running in about an hour after unpacking the source. Within a day, I was running crossfeeds with 4 other sites. For something as complex as Usenet news administration, it was dead simple to setup. > what is expirience with running FreeBSD PCs as INND > servers with full news feed ? Is it capable of handling > the load ? Any IO/CPU limitations ? I have the same questions, since I'm just starting out here. My server will be going into full production mode within a few days (it's been running with about a dozen beta testers for a week now). > I run P6-200 here as news server - runs just fine, load > averages are ~0.3-0.5 , readers peak at ~200-300, total > of ~23.000 newsgroups in active, 3 days expire average, > 370.000 - 420.000 inodes used in /usr/spool/uucp.

It receives about 120,000 articles a day (900MB or so), with 20000 groups in the active file. Only about 7000 of those actually have articles in them so far. ;-) I have the history database, the overview files and the alt.binaries spool on a single disk on the current machine, and that disk is getting hit pretty hard according to iostat. That's being split across three spindles and three controllers in the production machine, so disk I/O should not be a problem. A delayed expire run takes less than 5 minutes to generate the list of articles to delete, which fastrm processes in about 30 minutes. I expect that to rise once we get a hundred readers on it at once, and more articles to expire. It seems INN is only spooling about 2 articles per second, peaking at around 5/sec for very short periods of time.

Perhaps this will > improve once I'm using multiple controllers and more disks? It's interesting thing , actually ... I was trying to get some estimates on articles/sec rate. Folx at n.s.n say that it should indeed peak at 5 arts/sec for a decent feed, so I decided to check what an ftp rate would be on a local 10Mb LAN. I've tried it on FreeBSD <> FreeBSD ( P166 <> P6-200) Sun20 <> FreeBSD Sun20 <> Sun10 LocalFreeBSD <> LocalFreeBSD with 100 small files(2K) with prompt off. Guess what ! It was steady (!!!) 100 files in 20 secs , or ~5 files/sec in ALL CASES. I've tried to do ftp to the same PC from 2 different machines at the same time. It took ~23 sec to upload 200 files (100 from each PC). So it looks like for small articles/multiple feeds (and fast links :) the upper limit could be bigger than 5art/sec ( putting aside the difference " ftp versus nntp"). Other thing is that on th eame link it will take ~0.25 sec to transfer single 200K file , and even less if the thing is compressed , so batched newsfeed looks like reasonable alternative, especially for a stub news server, when one knows for sure that there won't be no "blanks" in the batch - I mean the articles the site already has. With multiple feeds the effective loss of the BW will be much bigger , especially if the server ( say, small ISP) will provide transit for the newsfeed from one major peer to another. Probably it has sense to inject only articles which were originated locally , but it's often not the point when all peers are equally interested in getting full newsfeed from each other trying to get news articles as fast as possible.

I can't answer this but I believe the answer is no; there is some discussion of QuickCam requiring an NDA (non disclosure aggreement) to release the programming info. Search the mailing list archive at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html. I found this connectix URL there in one of the articles: http://www.pcworld.com/connectix/qcfaqw.html > If not, I'm in the process of porting some utilities but I'm stopped by the > Linux proprietary function "ioperm" which grants direct access for applications > to I/O ports. What is the equivalent on FBSD ? Once you open "/dev/io" you can access all I/O ports directly. There is no fine-grain mechanism. The man page is missing everywhere except the newest releases, however, it is straightforward - ensure /dev/io exists, set the protection modes up appropriately for your application, and open the device before trying to use the inb/outb inline functions found in machine/cpufunc.h. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

Which is an X program that uses the Xform library. I've gotten it to work using the patches. I think most of the linux stuff is supposed to work under Freebsd, but I'm not sure. There is a patch for nv for linux that supposedly compiles under FreeBSD, according to the readme file. I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet.

This is an example of what FreeBSD can do "out of the box", which is rather impressive (at least to me ;-) ). Hardware is a 133-MHz Pentium system, ASUS P/I-P55TP4XEG motherboard with 512K pipeline burst cache and 128M of RAM. Tip: if you're spending this kind of money on a system, go out and buy PCI versions of everything! Our supplier shipped the systems with a cheap Trident PCI VGA card, an NCR53c810 SCSI controller, and an SMC EtherPower 9332 10/100Mbps NIC. The EtherPower 8432 (I think that's the number, it's the 10Mbps-only version) also works well. Hardware installation was literally "plug and play". The PCI firmware sorts out all the nastiness normally associated with ISA peripherals. IRQ's are settable through the BIOS setup screen (the defaults worked for me) and the 2.1.0-R install kernel correctly identified all the pieces without prior fiddling with jumpers and DOS-based config utilities. :) Total cost of the system came to around C$6000, or around US$4500. The killer is the RAM, of course (C$4200 for four 60ns 32MB SIMM's), but the software was free. :) That works out to around US$45 per user, if you limit yourself to 100 online at a time. At 100+ interactive users, I've found that the bottleneck is at the 10Mbps Ethernet interface, not the CPU or memory. With that many users typing away at their terminals, de0 is sending and receiving 400 to 500 packets per second. Home directories are NFS mounted, which doesn't help matters. This results in lagged keyboard response and screen updates. Putting the machine on a 100Mbps port may eliminate this bottleneck. Swap usage hovers around 10 to 20% and the CPU doesn't appear to be working particularly hard with 100+ users. I'd guess that it can handle 150 interactive users comfortably, bringing the costs down to a mere US$30 per user. More tips... don't forget to configure and MAKEDEV all 256 pty's! I let my users run 'screen' here, and it was configured at compile time to use pty[PQRS] (the upper 128 pty's) so that [pt]ty[pqrs] were available for telnetd and rlogind. Also, be sure to have enough mbufs around to avoid locking up the network on that machine if they ever run out. This happened once with NMBCLUSTERS=2048, so now I have it set to 4096. I've seen the high-water mark hit 1952 clusters since then. I've included the dmesg output and kernel config file below. As I said, there isn't anything out of the ordinary with the configuration. All the options are documented or well-known. We have two such systems, with a third one arriving today (whee!). A CNAME shuffle record in our DNS is used to spread the user load around (trying an "nslookup shell.io.org"). Although I might be able to get away with having only a single login server, having more available gives me the flexibility to take one of them down for maintenance, knowing the remaining ones will be able to handle the load.

There are patches for the Linux program xfqcam in incoming/ on ftp.freebsd.org (I believe the name is xfqcam-1.02.patches.tar.gz or something similar, but the ftp site is down due to disk problems, so I can't confirm that).

Only problem I have is that it won't autodetect the camera, I have to supply it with a parallel port address.

I have a question about what I can do to run FreeBSD. I have a Pentium 90, SCSI 1GB HD, SCSI CD-ROM, 16MB RAM, tape backup, multimedia machine. It's dual boot, partitioned 350 DOS FAT and 650 OS/2 HPFS. I've thought of taking it in to a dealer and asking to have the hard drive reformatted to 300 FAT, 300 HPFS, and 400 for Unix but that's a lot of work and expense getting everything back in running condition. I've thought a better solution might be to add another hard drive for Unix and installing FreeBSD on it. Then I expect I'd be able to boot up as Unix from a floppy, or as DOS or OS/2 as I have in the past by booting from C:. Would this work or is there a better solution? What would be your recommended size of new hard drive? Will the hardware I currently have, other than the disk drive, work? What more should I know before pursuing this further? Is this a good idea? You can send your replies to lwatkins@midtown.net. Thanks a lot.

You should be able to set it up so that you only have to use different *IP addresses* on each interface. FreeBSD should then forward packets between the interfaces if you've built your kernel with the GATEWAY options. If you setup in this way, you will probably have to build arp tables for all hosts on the local subnet that the two hosts connected to ether1 want to get to. Also, unless you want people to see your system with the two interfaces as a router, you'll need to go in and change the kernel code so that it does not decrement the TTL value of packets it passes. -matt -- Matthew C.

Speaking of which...are there any decent references that would explain what multicasting is, why one would want to use it, how one would use it, how one would configure it, etc? I gather it provides a means to broadcast to odd groupings of systems that can't be precisely described with regular IP address based broadcasting, but past that I haven't been able to find clues. I've looked at 'man mrouted' but I don't know a lot of the basic terminology and would like to have at least a vague idea as to some general ideas & meanings.

It is not valid to assign the same IP address to two interfaces.

What I'm talking about is an alternative that will allow him to do what he wants - having two separate ip addresses for on his "pseudo-router" machine, both on the same subnet... This would allow forwarding between the two interfaces, and proxy arping so that the hosts on the internal wire could get to the rest of the net as well. -matt -- Matthew C.

[mmap(2) man page from -current] The limit is imposed for a variety of reasons. Most of them have to do with FreeBSD not wanting to use 64 bit offsets in the VM system due to the extreme performance penalty. So FreeBSD use 32bit page indexes and this gives FreeBSD a maximum of 8TB filesizes. It's actually bugs in the filesystem code that causes the limit to be further restricted to 1TB (loss of precision when doing blockno calculations).

The reason it bombs is because FreeBSD's crypt(), while nice, is not completely compatible as a plugin for good ol' DES crypt(). I have ircd up and running successfully, and am in fact starting a FreeBSD-based IRC network, just for kicks. Feel free to drop by ftp.NETural.com:/pub/FreeBSD/ircd, and pick up my ircd binaries, descrypt libs, et al. Basically the solution is to compiled ircd/mkpasswd with -ldescrypt. I also hacked the ircd sources to make some values a bit more sane... | Adam W.

Is anyone working on SVR4 support for FreeBSD? The only reason I have an MS-OS is to have FrameMaker. Being able to run FrameMaker would be a compelling feature for a number of profs in our CS department. As it is one just crippled a p6 with IDE and a cheap graphics adapter. He runs FrameMaker remotely off of a Sun. I don't think I would have any trouble talking him into switching OSes of FrameMaker could be run locally. cheers, Adrian System Administrator for the NVL, NIIMS and Telemedicine labs adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

This is a minimal installation procedure (will install everything when Walnut's CD-ROM finally arrives :-) The FDISK picture is: ____: Offset, Size, End, Name, ..., Flags BOOT: 0, 63, 62, -, ..., _DOS: 63, 1588545, 1558607, wd0s1, ..., _BSD: 1588608, 1584576, 3173183, wd0s2, ..., CB Again and again the installation fails while retrieving the binaries from wd0s1 (DOS) after being about 64% through. The message is: "Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes)" Please note that wd0s2 was scanned for bad blocks. Besides, it's a new computer that otherwise runs DOS/Windows smoothly (a Micron P133 Millennea). Any clues? -------------------------------------- Is it simply because 2.1 only supports standard IDE and not the new (and popular) Enhanced IDE. Would moving FreeBSD to lower numbered blocks help?

How up to date is the Network Information Service provided in FreeBSD, since I know that SUN released their new NIS+ protocol ? Is there any where else I could look for NIS or NIS+ because I might have to do some porting of this code to a new platform under a different kernel(Real-TIme Kernel). Also, I don't remember finding the Network Lock Manager in the FreeBSD sources distribution. Is it proprietory software from SUN or can I find a source for this protocol. Of course this includes such programs as Stat Daemon. I am not completely familiar with this protocol so if you don't mind can you give me any information regarding this.

I am currently using FreeBSD2.0.5-RELEASE on my PC with 8 M RAM. In order to study the kernel source code, I have a plan to debug my kernel. According to the FAQ/Text/kernel-debug.FAQ, I followed.... 1) I inserted a line in my sys/i386/conf/NEW options DODUMP /* * There are some lines ... of options.. i.e. DDB, KTRACE.. */ 2) I config'ed my NEW, with config -g. 3) I maked new kernel by typing $make depend, $make in the directory /usr/src/ sys/compile/NEW. 4) Then, I copied my new kernel on /kernel.new after stripping off. 5) I booted my system with kernel.new(its size is 862608) as a single mode. 6) then, # fsck -p <---- no error # mount -a -t ufs # savecore -N /kernel.new /var/crash savecore:no core dump (no dumpdev) !!!!!!!!!!!!!! # 7) Obtaining above message, I suspected that the error maybe is due to the fact that my / file system(6M) has no enough space, so that I tried # savecore -N /kernel.new /usr/crash ... after $mkdir /usr/crash But, same result occurs. My qustions are.. 1) What does the "no dumpdev" message mean? 2) What should I follow to get a core of my kernel.new? 3) FAQ says that I should have sufficient swap memory to make it possible to get a core,.. is 16M swap space is not enough?

Well, that didn't do it, but upon further exploration of the PPP man page, it says that when the process is locking the com port, it creates a lock-file as /var/spool/lock/LCK.. where is something like cuaa0, cuaa1, etc. As it turns out, when the link is up, the lockfile exists, and when the link is down, it is removed.

This can be done - though it is not too simple. Let's assume he has got a regular class C net: x.y.z.0...255. nad he wants, for some reason do it so that half the adresses were on one wire and half on the other, yet so that no-one else should bother about it. So - split the adress space into two - the parts need not be equal, but one of them must be in the upper part of the other - the first from x.y.z.0 - x.y.z.191 and the second from x.y.z.192 - x.y.z.255. Please don't argue about the sizes of the subnets yet - read a bit on. The trick is to have the FreeBSD router have one IP address from the first subnet and the other one from the second. Now you tell to the FreeBSD router and the hosts on the second subnet the real subnet and broadcast address, enable proxy arp on the FreeBSD router and don't tell the hosts/routers on the first subnet anything about the changes - if one of them want's to talk to a host on the second one, it just asks for it's ethernet address, it does so and the FreeBSD router proxy answers and fowards the packet. Pros and cons: 1) may require to rename/renumber some hosts 2) if you can't have space at the end of the first subnet's address space, you will loose 2 IP addresses, if you can, still 1 IP. 3) Lets you do what you want > - -matt > Sander.

You need to have a custom build kernel with two ahc* entries: ahc0 ahc1 In your place I would connect all HDs to the single controller, partition 'em , do the install , build the kernel and then reconnect the HDs in the way I wanted.

I need to know, however, whether or not FreeBSD would support my 14400bps Data/Voice/Fax modem and how to configure FreeBSD to work with the modem if in fact it can. Where would I be able to obtain such information? I am only interested in PPP as a user to dial out to my internet service provider and am not interested in becomming a PPP dial in server. I also have a question concerning software needed to make use of my connection. Will I need to obtain special PPP client software to use such functions as ftp and WWW browsing, or will the usual ftp software and Netscape work if I have PPP configured as explained in the `setting up user PPP' document.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I'm currently involved in the development of a performance sensitive program and is experiencing a strange - at least to me - problem. In short, I get substantial performance degradation using TCP/IP stream sockets when the size of the data being sent/received is within certain intervals. For example, I have two programs - a socket server (S) and a client (C). The client will send N bytes to the server, getting 100B in return, send an additional N bytes, getting 100B in return a.s.o. Both test programs are "straight-off the student books", no strange stuff. Testing using the above programs yields excellent performance (both when the client and the server is on separate machines, and when both are on the same mach) as long as the number of bytes sent (N) is within either of the following ranges: 0 - 2K 16K - 28K 42K - 72K .... but 100 times slower if N is: 2K+1 - 16K-1 28K+1 - 42K-1 (e.g. I can do 400+ read/writes per second if I keep the data size within the first set of ranges, but only 5 per second using the latter set.) Hence, it is faster to send 16KB than to send 2049B. For my application, this is not so good! (to put it mildly). Can anybody help me? If I am doing anything wrong, tell me what, if I can circumvent this behaviour somehow, or if this is a bug of some sort???? This is becoming a show-stopper, so please....I may even reward the person that solves this! Changing buffer sizes, send/receive spaces etc does not help at all. The same behaviour is found both on FreeBSD 2.0.5 and 2.1.0. Please respond also to my e-mail address, as I am not a mailing list subscriber yet.

Sounds to me like mayby it is the time to modify the ppp program to create a file that has the times that the link was established and when it was last broken. If the broken down time is, say perhaps a string 'FUTURE', in the future, then as far as the system is concerned, the link is active. When the link is broken, it puts the date and time it was dropped.. Maybe even something as simple as the creation of '/tmp/ppp.up' when the link is created and deleted when the link is broken... The second option is easier to implement, but, the first option allows for more fexibility. I have cc'd the hackers to get feed back from them... I could do the changes if it generaly excepted as the 'best' possible solution... Hey all you hackers: what do you think???? On Fri, 16 Feb 1996, Wes Santee wrote: > > Whoops.

Clearly, the kernel takes up some unaccounted for space. Does the UBC also ? or since it is integrated with the VM system, is buffer cache use reflected in the vmstat output ? Just looking for some information on how to better account for memory usage, or to figure for the missing 12MB. Or maybe using PS rss + VMSTAT free + kernel space is not a valid measurement technique ? I guess I was slightly surprised to see only 11MB on the free list in the above situation.

You are probably experiencing performance degradation due to interference between the mbuf and socket buffer layers. In /sys/kern/uipc_socket2.c, look for the line: sb->sb_mbmax = min(cc * 2, sb_max); ...and change the `* 2' factor to something more reasonable (like `* 8').

I have a Pentium 100 system, with an Award BIOS and a BusLogic BT-946C SCSI controller, to which I have attached a Seagate Hawk ST31230N and a Seagate Barracuda ST32550N and a PanaSOnic CR-504-B CDROM drive. I have made a boot floppy and it boots correctly and can see all the devices. While using the Novice install option, I cannot set the geometry of the first (Hawk) drive correctly, according to the manual it is 3992/5/103, but this is not acceptable to the FreeBSD Fdisk program. (I can't set the geometry of the Barracuda either, but that drive is not necessary for the installation) If I force a partition using the whole disk and hence getting a geometry of 1/1/1 the installation will proceed - although unable to allocate any swap space before the kernel panics. If I make a small DOS partition, it gets a little further (51% of /bin installed on minimum configuration) before a page fault panics the kernel. It looks like I may not be configuring the swap properly, but I cannot see what I can do different. I am pretty much stuck here - do you have any ideas on how I can proceed?

Jerry, I looked at the code, and if a SIGHUP was received (meaning the modem had hung up) then Hangup() is called, which calls Cleanup(). This should (and seems to) ifconfig the interface down. Isn't this what you want it to do; can't you detect if the interface is up or down via a call to ifconfig, then? I checked this on current.

Well unfortunately you cannot find the 2840 VLB cards any more, they are discontinued. ( I just tried ). I have found the 1542 to be a very serviceable card and very reliable ( until being shut into the door of my car... heh... hance the replacement ). I bought a new one and got it at a good price ( I think ) $168 from SIMMSUN (714) 863-0400.

It does if you go to -current and fix the GDT and LDT code in losore.s (and I send you patches). Someone needs to hack losore.s. I would, but I am fighting soft updates right now.

This morning I rebooted my machine and one of the disks has become unreachable. It is still probed correctly by the kernel: (ahb0:6:0): "CDC 94191-15 0136" type 0 fixed SCSI 1 sd3(ahb0:6:0): Direct-Access 632MB (1295850 512 byte sectors) but, the kernel says that it is not configured. What's gone wrong? The problem isn't mentioned during booting until the fsck's are done. The disk sounds like it is spining up just fine, so I am at a loss for what to try to get this disk back on line. It is really important to recover this disk, because it has /usr/home on it. :-( FYI, I am running 2.1.0-RELEASE. thanks, Adrian System Administrator for the NVL, NIIMS and Telemedicine labs adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Me sitting at an alpha screen at home cannot visualize this mail directly. First off, I'm forced to modernize my way of reading mail to keep pace with what is going on there in the DOS/WIN world. And FreeBSD would be good advised to provide solutions to accomplish this out of the box without great installation hassle. Second, for now I would greatly appreciate a tip, how I could convert the mail appendices 'by hand' and transfer them into my home FreeBSD box to view it there under X. --Chris Christoph P. U.

I will send you patches; you will not be able to trigger the buzz-flag to throw the second processor into the scheduler, however. The second processor LDT/GDT is incorrectly setup in my patch set; I would be happy to have you fix it for me. I either need more hardware (like an ICE I can plug into the second processor slot), a significant amount of assembly that I'm not going to write right now (basically a BSD version of "SoftIce(tm)"), or to sit down and line-by-line analyze what is getting set on which when and by who (which means I'd probably dike out all the existing and uncommented debugger and tracing code, a bad thing). This last one might be a reasonable thing, if we weren't in crunch-mode at work. I don't have time to "play computer", let alone "play SMP computer" on 30+ sheets of engineering paper. 8-(. Right now, I'm concentrating on kernel multithreading and file system reentrancy, in specific. It's all work that needs to be done.

I vote for Polycythemis. It's a bitch to type, and it's not eight characters so the SCO WordPerfect license manager won't run, but I think he was a truly underated Greek hero. That, or "Calicratites", the name of the mummy from the original movie. I've been waiting forever to do an install of a machine to run Oracle; I plan to call it "Thoth". 8-). I have a machine named "Banzai" at home, both because "Buckaroo Banzai" is the best movie of all time, because it was my first purchase of an Intel box, and I thought I was jumping in too quickly, and because I'm teaching myself Japanese and it means "1000 years" and I had extremely optimistic expectations about uptime. The machine I'm using as my terminal right now is called "Hecate", mostly because I can boot it up under multiple OS's, one of which is Linux and one of which is Windows95. Witchcraft seemed to be appropriate. The machine actually sending the mail is called Phaeton. It's the vehicle for my SMP work. The loaner PPC box I have is named "Pyramus", and I do my cross-work for it on a small box named "Thisbe". Frequently, "Pyramus dies for the love of Thisbe" (you gotta love that Babylonian mythology). If I had a slow 386SX box, I'd name it "Cybelle", after what men who joined the cult had to do to themselves to have their membership approved. I once waited the install of a machine two days on a name choice. It was a Sun box and I wanted to name it something relevent to the sun, like Helios (Apollo was taken by another computer company). We finally settled on '"Icarus" because that's close to Sun'. 8-) 8-) 8-). Basically, you can name it anything you want to. If you pick an 8 character name, you'll work around a known bug in the SCO emulation, but it'd be just as easy to fix the bug, if you cared.

I'll get to it eventually. Since I have a running system with older kernel and VM code, I'd just as soon address the easy-to-address (for me anyway) issues of kernel reeentrancy and FS multithreading. The SMP in the Linux kernel is low-grain at present. I want kernel threads and no significant degradation from 2 to 4 to 8 processors (my desired target is a 32 processor PPC machine from a company in Germany... think they'll send me one for testing? 8-)). There's a P6 machine with "only" 4 processors that I think would be nice as well... when I get excited, I count based on number of processors instead of per-processor power. 8-).

Or whatever. ---I've chilled considerably in recent years... but not entirely. Around 19:30 Friday night, I pulled the required XFree86, v3.12 tars off freefall. Carefully installed them; linked XF86_W32 to X. Tried to bring up X, and disaster. The server did come up, but was nothing but 3 or 4 bands of fuzzy, horizontal lines. Before turning in, I managed to boot in single mode, remove xdm from rc.local, and fsck everything. From this morning until about an hour ago I tried to get v3.12 up. No joy. There was a complaint about libc being the wrong version (I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5). And some complaints about tar not being able to overwrite some symbolic links. The last think I tried was modifying my /etc/XF86Config to use the exact values for my ViewSonic-7 as are given in the ...doc/Monitors file. Zip. I just retrieved the old X311*.tgz from my CDROM and reinstalled. X is back. Anyone know what I'm doing so wrong? Is there a way to upgrade to v2.1 in any staged way via ftp? I'd rather not go with ``-current''.

So many machines are named after mythological heroes though - how about looking to something more modern (but just as classical) for inspiration? You want hard to type? Try "slartibartfast" or "magarathea", or for the opportunity to annoy your friends, "onomatopaeia" (How do you spell it? ... just like it sounds) My domain is 'spam' (due to the sheer folly of a certain suggesting party), so my machines are named as adjectives : lovely, salty, lumpy etc. Pick a theme and stick with it... > Terry Lambert -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
