I suppose you aren't using the csh. It does _always_ execute ~/.cshrc (that's the difference to ~/.login). Bourne-alike shells don't provide for this, yes. They provide for ${ENV}, but for the first invocation of a shell, this would become a chicken-and-egg problem. Btw., i consider this an incredible advantage of the csh. Bourne- alike shells totally lose in this area when it comes to things like remote shell command execution, and adjusting ${PATH} for it. -- 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 Sun Feb 25 02:02:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id CAA23258 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 25 Feb 1996 02:02:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from chelsea.ios.com (root@chelsea.ios.com [198.4.75.52]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA23249 for ; Sun, 25 Feb 1996 02:02:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from viper1.ios.com (ppp124.liberty.com [199.89.140.24]) by chelsea.ios.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) with SMTP id FAA18907 for ; Sun, 25 Feb 1996 05:02:31 -0500 Message-Id: <199602251002.FAA18907@chelsea.ios.com> Date: Sun, 25 Feb 96 02:02:55 -0800 From: Rolin Bass Organization: Bassmark X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1PE (Windows; I; 16bit) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: I want to start a server (is their licensing) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sirs: Can this software support a dial in internet access server .

Unix doesn't like having filesystems taken away from it without being told first; you'll notice that you can't easily unmount the cdrom if any applications' working directory is on the disk either. I'd be inclined to write a small alias that unmounted and ejected the disk; this would put the two tasks together and remove your severe agitation. -- ]] 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.

When I logout of my freebsd box into which I rlogin'ed from another 2.1 box and want to rlogin right again - happens often when you forgot to do something you wanted to do - then the connection times out. I suspect it's a rlogind/inetd problem with shutting down the socket or something. It is a known 'problem' for a year or so - I don't know if it is an 'official' bug.

At least MS Word does . Mime handles RTF, but all that means is I got the RTF from my friend in the mail. I had no tool to handle it, and mime is just transport, not handling.

That was the gotcha that got-me a year ago. Thanks, guys, I found and built rtf2LaTeX (I hate those embedded capitals) but it seems to choke on the first few lines of this Mac-generated document.

I assumed, woops :) xterm.8: -ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in the xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the first character of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it should read the user's .login or .profile). This of course doesn't say it does not read .cshrc.

It's ftp://freefall.cdrom.com/pub/smp/SMP.tar.Z To get SMP the easiest way: 1) Set up a SUP of the CVS tree 2) Setup a checked out CVS tree for the kernel and usr.sbin (at a bare minimum -- you will probably need the rest as well). 3) Check out everything in the tree using the date 28 Oct 94; This is *much* easier if you start with a system with 2.0.5 installed on it. 4) Build the old config 5) Get the SMP.tar.Z 6) Apply the patches 7) Build the SMP boot include file; you will need it; this particular patch doesn't go anywhere very cleanly. Put the file somewhere in the appropriate include path. 8) Get the mpasm.h file and put it in /sys/i386/include; this may not be part of the tar file (I don't know if it was updated). 9) Build yourself a kernel 10) If you didn't start with a 2.0.5 box, rebuild all of the system utilities, especially those used in routing, or the reboot will hang. 11) boot the new kernel (call it something like /mpkern so you don't boot it by default). This will get you low grain parallelism (only one processor in kernel via trap, interrupt, or exception ata a time). To get it the hard way: 1) Set up a SUP of the CVS tree 2) Get everything in your system up to -current 3) Contact me for a patch set; it will take me 3-5 days to get everything up to date because my FS patches (which are SMP related) have not been integrated and so I have a couple of lagged source trees lying around. I will have to pick one and unlag it to get you patches for -current. 4) Apply the patches. 5) Fix the locore.s file becaue of the incompatible-with-28Oct94 changes that have gone into it for debugger and other support. 6) Prepare for additiona GDT/LDT changes that haven't been publically announced, but which are coming. This will get you low grain parallelism; I can provide additional push-down code, if you integrate my FS patches, to get higher grain parallelism (one processor in kernel on interrupt or exception, multiple processors in kernel via trap, some UFS reentrancy). The pushdown code would require hand application, since the state varies from week to week.

FreeBSD and W95 will coexist fine, and FreeBSD comes with a boot manager that will do what you want. FreeBSD will be able to read and write the W95 partition, but W95 doesn't (yet) support the BSD filesystem. > 3. I know your OS supports TCP/IP. Does it also support Novell Netware > and/or the Windows for Workgroups protocol? There are a number of issues here. The Netware protocol (IPX) can be routed, however no Netware services can be provided or utilised. Given the extreme difficulty involved in implementing/using these services, and their lack of direct applicability in the Unix environment, there has been little incentive for development on this front. The "Windows for Workgroups protocol" is actually several components. The file/print/authentication component, known as SMB, is supported in a server capacity by the 'Samba' package. Limited client functionality is also provided. The other half of the 'protocol' is its network transport. By default, WfW uses the (revolting) NetBEUI protocol, which is not supported by FreeBSD. WfW can also be configured to use TCP/IP as a transport, which is required for interoperation with Samba. Hopefully this goes some way towards answering your questions. -- ]] 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.

After getting some free time this weekend, I upgraded to 2.2. However, I'm still getting the same problems. Netscape returns a ubiquitous "EMT trap".

I had problems with the root file system becoming corrupted, and blamed it on the Windows '95 partition on the same disk. This has since been "fixed" by patiently restoring the files by hand. I have now spent three days trying to install 2.1.0 on a machine that has been running 2.0.5 very well. Actually, the 2.0.5 machine crashed and I lost some of the shared libraries, so I decided it was time to update that one with 2.1.0. What a disaster this has been. Shortly (less than five minutes) after booting the new installation, I get the error: mode = 00640 inum = 31 fs = / panic ffs_alloc: dup_alloc The subsequent reboot and fsck finds all root inodes (and directories) of all mounted file systems hosed, creates a new lost+found and moves everything there. I am trying to install 2.1.0-RELEASE#0, 16 Nov. 1995. Is this a known problem that I just missed in the news group? The system normally runs with an Adaptec 284x SCSI interface and a 1.0 Gbyte SCSI-2 disk. I have tried different disks and controllers, including IDE disks and controller. Same result. Since I must have loaded the software fifty times, I have noticed about one-half of the time the installation fails with file system write errors (i.e. -1 returned to cpio) while trying to uncompress and install the software. I have tried all combinations of FDISK, PFDISK, number of partitions, precise manual alignment of slices on cylinders, automatic configuration options, and giving FreeBSD the entire disk. All installations result in the same error. I am at wits end. Any information will be helpful.

It's a true Unix (as much as any system can claim such), widely considered to be the fastest Unix on Intel hardware. The standard distribution comes packaged with many precompiled applications ideally suited for use on an Internet Service Provider. At the minimum end, it is possible to run it on a 386sx16 with 4M of memory; at the opposite end of the spectrum are systems such as ftp.cdrom.com with 512M of memory and 72G of disk, supporting over 500 simultaneous users. FreeBSD also boasts binary compatability with BSD/OS 2.0, meaning that all of the Nescape webserver products run, as well as a number of user accounting packages. > What does it cost?

It's not just a little crash- the whole machine freezes, and we have to use the reset button. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Delete don't have any effect. I type startx to go into a freshly installed Xwindows, and it works for a few seconds. I can move the mouse around, but before I get a chance to do anything, the machine dies. The system is a Pentium-100, Asus Triton motherboard. 16 megs of 60ns EDO ram. 256k burst pipeline cache. 1GB Quantum HD on an Adaptec 2940 SCSI-2. Video card is Diamond Stealth 64 (2MB VRAM) on PCI, using 640x480x256 mode. I'm using the S3 server, and I selected the Diamond Stealth Pro as the video card in the config (the vid card manual says the 64 is backwards-compatible with the Pro). No clocks line or RAMDAC selected. The mouse is a Logitech Mouseman, and I've selected Mouseman in the config file. Also have an SMC EtherPower 10/100 in 10Mbps mode. Nothing strange in the FreeBSD setup... Everything installed from the 2.1 CD. A couple of directories are NFS mounted, and the system only has at most one or two users at a time. Works great outside of X. When X comes up, the window title fonts look a bit strange, like there are pixels missing in some of the characters... I don't know if that's normal, as I don't remember what the default TWM fonts look like (I use FVWM at home). When the system freezes, the mouse pointer is not visible on the screen... I may be shooting in the dark, but I would guess that maybe the mouse driver is dying in the middle of moving the pointer. I don't very much about X, though. We need this machine to run X, as it's going to be for creating web pages and web page graphics. Any help would be appreciated.

Somebody asked about cursor keys under Unix. Somebody answerd, use tcsh or bash. You don't need it. Both sh (ash, preciselly) and pdksh can use the cursor keys, the trick is: set -o emacs, and don't modify the EDITOR/VISUAL variables (or after modification, set -o emacs, too). If you have to work with the original, AT&T ksh, you have to make some other tricks (you have to define some aliases) (mail me, if you need it, for AIX, HP, etc - or read the KSH-book) This works only on vt100-like terminal, as I know,. Sorry, the ash manual is very cheap about command-line editing, but the pdksh manual is very-very good. Ther are so many examples about the cursor-key bindings in it.

Yes: Switch off tagged commands ... :( The HP drive is known to cause problems when used with tagged commands. The problem is diagnosed, but the solution isn't obvious, yet ... Can you rebuild your kernel ? Please add the following line to your kernel config file (for -current): options "SCSI_NCR_DFLT_TAGS=0" If you want to build a kernel for -stable, then add another options "SCSI_NCR_MAX_TAGS=0" You can selectively enable tagged commands for the other drives from /etc/rc.local: ncrcontrol -t0 -t1 -s tags=4 configures the driver to use 4 tags with both target 0 and 1, leaving all others alone (assuming the HP is target 2). If this works for you, then I can provide you with another patch, which might allow enabling tags on the HP drive, too.

The 'info' file for cpp from gcc-2.7.2 says the following: `-lang-c' `-lang-c89' `-lang-c++' `-lang-objc' `-lang-objc++' Specify the source language. `-lang-c' is the default; it allows recognition of C++ comments (comments that begin with `//' and end at end of line), since this is a common feature and it will most likely be in the next C standard. `-lang-c89' disables recognition of C++ comments. `-lang-c++' handles C++ comment syntax and includes extra default include directories for C++. `-lang-objc' enables the Objective C `#import' directive. `-lang-objc++' enables both C++ and Objective C extensions. These options are generated by the compiler driver `gcc', but not passed from the `gcc' command line unless you use the driver's `-Wp' option. The standard FreeBSD compiler driver must be passed -lang-c89 to cpp. Try adding -Wp -lang-c to your cc options and see if that works. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 26 08:42:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA29853 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 26 Feb 1996 08:42:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA29848 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 1996 08:42:24 -0800 (PST) Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA21610; Mon, 26 Feb 1996 11:42:12 -0500 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 1996 11:42:12 -0500 From: "Garrett A.

Simply put, many full-screen terminal-oriented programs like pine, elm, emacs, etc., insert padding in their output to keep your fifteen-year-old VT100 from dropping half your screen updates. Naturally, this padding depends on what the program thinks is the `speed' of your `serial line'. If the `speed' is very high, then it will send huge amounts of padding, which you will observe as pauses. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

By 'true SCSI', I meant to say, 'Centronics 50 pin SCSI connector' The ZIP that we have at work uses a DB25 type port. I seem to recall that it is SCSI, just not the standard cable... Not that there is nothing wrong with that, it just means you can't plug the ZIP into an RS/6000 or an SGI box, etc... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments or opinions in this message are my own and may or may not reflect the comments or opinions of my present or previous employers.

Chances are that the problem is the hardware cursor code failing to restore correctly under some conditions. We've seen a couple of chipsets exhibit problems either because of manufacturing variations, or because of particular combinations of resolution and refresh rate. Can you send us the Server configuration file (usually /etc/Xaccel.ini) and if you can, the Server text output. Details on how to grab these can be found at ftp://ftp.xinside.com/mailserver/debug.txt . BTW, there's also a freebsd.txt listing anything we currently know about FreeBSD, that is not in our Release Notes. In the interim, add this line to the [SCREEN] section of the Server configuration file, by hand: SoftwareCursor = Yes; // Force software cursor That should solve the problem and may be as far as you want to go... We'd like to know the graphics board configuration just in case this is a new set of conditions to exhibit the problem. Cheers, JeremyC.

This system was working on and intel Neptune board and another version of the Tyan motherboard. After a couple of exchanges with Tyan of the mother board (and BIOS revisions) to correct what looked like a problem with spontaneous reboots (in both BSD and Win95) we arrived witht the current motherboard. Again the system works very well with Win95 - in fact I havent seen Win95 (at least this Win95 ) run this good before. We tried swapping an IDE (boot drive is sd0 normally) drive in with Stable on it and the same thing occurs. We have tried different COAST (cache ram) modules and as I said before both the standard Award BIOS and MR BIOS.

You need to add the following line to the kernel config file and recompile for the Logitech and ATI mice: device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq5 vector mseintr Just what exactly is the path and name of the kernel config file? Where can I find the explanation of the above device specification line? Is the "?" really supposed to be in the device spec? How exactly do I recompile the kernel?

Everything you never wanted to know about DEC mice: | | -----| TOP | A | B | | | | ------ -----| \ | ___ | \.

The shafts depend from the bottom of the mouse at a 45 degree angle and are orthoganlly opposed in the x/y plane in which the mouse is moved. When the mouse is moved in the +/- x direction, foot A rotates in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, rotating its shaft an causing make-break -n a two gate directionally sensitive optical gate. Likewise, when the mouse is moved in the +/- y direction, foot B rotates in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. There is no rotation which causes dirt to be moved to the coupling mechanism, as in a traditional mouse or trackball. Personally, I always thought DEC mice looked like albino hockey pucks. 8-P.

In trying to do an installation of 2.1R the other day from a SCSI CD-ROM (TEAC cd-50) to a SCSI disk, a very similar error (visible on virtual terminal #2) prevented the installation from ever getting beyond about 15-20% of the bin distribution (I made several attempts). I tried a different CD-ROM (a generic quad speed) and everything worked. The original double speed cd-rom is a lot older and probably just sucks in general. The door gets jammed sometimes too. I think I'm going to throw it away. I don't have the exact screen output, but it looked very similar and I definately remember the "ncr0: restart (fatal error)" line. The motherboard is an ASUS SP3-G motherboard (with a rev 2 ncr chip).

What exactly do you mean > by that? I don't know what he means, but I know that instead of reporting itself according to the SCSI spec and showing up a a drive that exists and has removable media (and falling into the resource manager for insertion events, etc.), the ZIP comes with special Windows95 TSD's you have to load to make Windows95 recognize it. This is incredibly annoying, IMO, since none of the Windows95 autoconfig features will work correctly with the drive. Damn shame, really, since the Windows95 stuff is a lot better than what their TSD provides.

Quotacheck is not very efficient and if you have some very large uids, or very large gaps between uids, quotacheck can run for a very long time. You might want to pick up the quotacheck from -current and run it with the "-v" option to see if it complains about unknown uids. You could also run find with the -nouser option. The "fixed:" lines were probably the result of running quotacheck on an active filesystem and the fact that you had interrupted quotacheck earlier. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@minn.net "Go that way.

Help? To: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Mr Technician Guru, I have FreeBSD 2.1. I've installed it several times with the same result...it crashes every time I run X WIndows and leave just a screensaver on. It freezes everytime and the only way to recover it is by turning it off and on again. I have done the -c at booting and deleted all the devices that were not pressent and others causing conflicts. I did configure X windows with the videocard I have (Diamond Stealth 64 Video) It runs but it crashes. Can you suggest where can I go for help? The machine is a Penitum 120 Mhz, with 16 Mb RAm and 512 cache. Also after installing, the machine does not "see" the cdrom. What is the right way to make the system "find" the cdrom again?

It's out of buffers because the other end has stopped accepting data (either from a problem on its side or a link error). This is not something you can fix by allocating more buffer space, this is something you need to fix by figuring out why the connection is dying.

Any information will be helpful. It sounds very much like you have a cache coherency problem on your motherboard. This means that dma transactions to the 284X card in your machine don't invalidate any cache lines that reference memory that is modified by the dma, so you get inconsistent data. Try installing with your internal and external caches disabled in the BIOS and see if you can reproduce the problem. My other guess is that you are running into a bug in the aic7xxx driver.

The aic7xxx driver never tagges request sense commands } since the spec dictates that they must be untagged (and some drives } choke on this) and it also gurantees that no other commands are posted } to the target until the request sense completes successfully. Yes, I know about this, and teh NCR driver makes sure that no tags are used with REQUEST SENSE commands. The HP drive problems are most likely caused by several tagged START STOP UNIT commands being sent to the drive. Most drives do the right thing (i.e. ignore a start unit if the motor is running :), but a few seem to perform a soft reset and don't tolerate several of these commands being active at a time. The GENERIC SCSI code calls scsi_start_unit() whenever a raw disk partition is opened, and two programs do several opens within a millisecond: FSCK and DUMP. I've been thinking about sending only teh first start unit to each LUN, but for now I think the generic SCSI code should NOT issue them in the first place for EACH open.

OK. The trick is the next: at&t ksh uses specially named aliases to make some cursor keys working with command-line editing f you use vi-mode, than whenever you type @x, ksh searches the alias table for an alias named _x, and if if found, it switch @x, with the value of the _x alias. It's good for making macros, but nothing else. But there is a similar function in the emacs (or gmacs) mode. If you type x, ksh searches for an alias named _x, and substitues x with the value of that alias. The same is true with [x nad alias __x. OK. On vt-52 (and like) terminals, the cursor keys send the next sequence: up: A down: B right: C left: D So, when somebody uses vt-52 like terminal, s/he has to make such aliases: alias _A=^P alias _B=^N alias _C=^F alias _D=^B n a vt100 (like) terminal, there is only one problem. (As I know), cursor keys send different codes on numeric, and on application keypad mode. [A in one of them, and OA in the other. But it's not avery big problem. You have to make two group of aliases, one for numeric, and one for appl. mode: alias __A=^P alias __B=^N alias __C=^F alias __D=^B and alias _OA=^P alias _OB=^N alias _OC=^F alias _OD=^B And, of course set -o emacs. Two things: a) in all of the aliases, when I typed ^X, you have to make the REAL control-X character, not that literal ^ and X b) in the _OX aliases, they are big o-s, not zeros. One of the alias-group works most of the modern (vt-something) like terminals, so it would be the best to put all of them in the Korn-shell's ENV-file, eg: case "$-" in *i*) # interactive shell # a little hack for command-line editing # vt-52 like terminals alias _A=^P ... # vt-100 in numeric mode alias __A=^P ... # vt-100 in appl. mode alias _OA=^P ... # and the main thing: set -o emacs ;; *) # non-interactive mode of the shell #I don't know, what would be good to be here ;; esac As I know, the binding are good for xterms, Wyses, etc. You can make this in pdksh, too, but not with aliases, but with the bind command of pdksh (it defines the normal vt-100 bindings so you need it only on appl. mode, or vt52-like terminals): #vt52: bind '^[A=up-history' bind '^[B=down-history' bind '^[C=forward-char' bind '^[D=backward-char' # vt100: in normal mode: bind '^[[=prefix-2' # vt100: in appl. mode bind '^[O=prefix-2' # and the cursor keys in both mode bind '^XA=up-history' bind '^XB=down-history' bind '^XC=forward-char' bind '^XD=backward-char' # and the main: set -o emacs But you have to type ^[ and ^X LITERALLY! (a ^ and a [ or X) I have another ``case'' in my .kshrc, because in our local net, there are machines, some of them uses ksh.att, some of them pdksh: case "$KSH_VERSION" in *[pP][dD]*) # pdksh # the pdksh bindings *) # the real att # the aliases of it. esac If you have some other shells - like bash, ash, zsh, etc - which use this ENV file it's another problem. OK, pdksh ends. If you use at&t ksh, with an HP-terminal, there is another problem: the HP terminals use the cursor keys internally, so you have to switch it off. I have to look for it in the terminal manuals, but there is something named ~ send function key codes, or like. You have to switch it off manually. It has a terminfo variable, so you have to only type something like this: tput smkx (I don't know the correct name, sorry, look in in the manual) And another ``feature'' vi, and some others, switch it on.!

I believe FreeBSD is much more "organized" as compared to Linux, with respect to support, and source code. Linux may be more popular though, so this might attest to its satisfactory performance.

You probably could adjust the kernel somehow to raise the default limits, or add setrlimit() calls to an appropriate place in /sbin/init, to raise the limits for all users. Changing "maxusers" in a kernel config only changes the size of the kernel tables -- it doesn't affect the default proc limit of 40, for example. Each process inherits limits from it's parent; the only user-land method provided for raising the limits is via the "limit" and "unlimit" commands in csh. To get around this, I have written a wrapper that that changes a limit (in my case, NPROC) and then execs the command given on the wrapper's command line; for my news machine, I use the wrapper to raise the NPROC limit for /usr/sbin/cron and /usr/local/etc/rc.news to avoid hitting the limit when lots of readers are running.

However, there is one little detail I couldn't figure out from your descriptions. In a Decstation mouse, which part actually passes through the belly of the mouse? Is the whole wheel external, with just the shaft entering the mouse, or is the wheel internal, with one edge sticking out through a slot in the mouse? In the Honeywell mouse, the entire wheel is outside the mouse body (fitting into an indentation in the belly) with just the shaft entering the mouse.

It is current in pre-alpha testing (eg., a lot of things work), and will shortly be in a public alpha testing (eg., most things work, but I make not promises.) As of this time it does not support NIS or kerberos, and has very limited group management capabilities. I would like to run a limited public alpha test of the software before going to a wider beta, as I have access only to a few FreeBSD systems to test it on. My expected release for the alpha is next Wednesday (I'm announcing ahead so the message has time to propagate some over the various mediums of relevance). When it is available, it will be downloadable from: http://www.watson.org/FreeBSD/userman2/ I will post a message to this group when its actually released. It should be noted that this software really is very alpha -- when I release it, it will be at a point where most features seem to work correctly on my personal test machines. This says nothing of anyone elses machine, so this should not be used on any large scale user systems unless you're willing to risk the user database being corrupted, and having to boot single user mode to copy old files over the new ones.

I am trying to put a grace period to a user but Status: RO nothing is changing. This is what I have done: 1) add "options QUOTA" in the kernel's configuration file 2) rebuild the kernel 3) add the userquota option in the file /etc/fstab (after the rw -> rw,userquota) 4) enable check_quota in /etc/sysconfig 5) add quotacheck and quotaon in /etc/rc.local 6) reboot the computer The file quota.user was created in the filesystem. I can set space quota for any user using edquota and everything is working fine. When I use "edquota -t -u myname" to give a grace period to my account (or somebody else account), everything seems to work fine. BUT if I type "repquota -a", the grace period has not been updated with the new values. If I go into "edquota -t -u myname" again, the new values are still there (it remember the values I gave earlier). Question: Why does the quota grace period has not change? P.S.: I am root when I make these changements.

I selected the option to create the boot manager (I made the boot floppy and installed from CD ROM as recommended in the doc). When the installation was complete and I rebooted the machine (removing the boot floppy from the A: drive first) I got the message: Operating system not found For some reason I see the message "DOS space > 1 gig" before the system tries to boot but I don't think this is the real problem. I'm also not exactly sure how to change this since I didn't see any obvious options in the auto-scsi menu. The system: Micron millenia plus 150MHz pentium 16MB RAM Buslogic 946c SCSI card 2 1-Gig Connor 1085S drives, the 2nd dedicated to FreeBSD 6X Plextor CD ROM SoundBlaster 32 AWE sound card Diamond Stealth 64 w/2M VRAM 17" Nokia monitor I had to use the -c option to make the boot floppy kernel look for my SCSI card because it was at IO port address 0x334 instead of the 0x330 that it expects. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. At this point I'm not sure if I need to re-install Windows 95 and DOS or not. I set up all of the filesystems on sd1 so the Windows disk shouldn't have been overwritten. Thanks in advance.

If the trumpet users are dialing to the annex and not directly to the freebsd machine, there is *NO DIFFERENCE* _except_for_timing_ in what the freebsd system sees. You might see some similar problems talking to SGI systems on the same network? Their tcp implementation is the highest-performance I've seen on small workstations; it'll wipe out freebsd systems with small buffers on the ethernet card unless you set window sizes down.... Works fine with the elite-ultra or 8013 cards, though, with no mods to the configs. I do set window and mtu down on my 56k serial link to get better interactive performance during the newsfeed. (see 'man route') The other problems you comment on could ALL be explained by your using ethernet cards with 2K buffers or with ISA DMA. If so, get good cards... (I use SMC elite ultras for all ISA apps and the 21040/1 SMC card for all PCI ones. Have no such problems, and I haven't even upped NMBCLUSTERS (yet). Remember that ftp.cdrom.com is one of the busiest servers on the net next to wuarchive and simtel, and it runs a (very greatly increased config) freebsd... Maybe david can post the config size parms again; I normally use maxusers 200, open_max=child_max=200, and ttyhog=16384. To that (per DG) I'm adding nmbclusters=4096; is there anything else? We use PM2e's and Wellfleet routers at both of my ISPs... There are various winsocks in use and 2 or 3 different PPPs on macs. Even freebsd's pppd works fine WITH the tcp options enabled into the livingston, and we don't have the latest firmware (ours won't route partial class C groups :-(. The only router problem we have at the moment is getting the Wellfleets expanded enough to run BGP4 to the net at large; they are *very* finicky about the ram you add... At least one ISP is using a freebsd system with multiple ET cards as a full-BGP router with no such problems... I'm using fbsd systems (the secondary web server and another) as ethernet switch/routers in-house just because the router doesn't have enough ports (we have a couple of in-building customers on ethernet connections); they work fine too using elite-ultra cards for the extra connections (and PCI smc cards for the backbone). Michael is also running more than one freebsd system and there are LOTS of small ISPs using freebsd for servers and you are the first I've heard to complain this way since 1.1.5.1 days when the system would run out of mbufs all by itself after being up for a month :-) (so would SGI before 4.0.5; this isn't a unique problem). As far as I know all mbuf leaks are fixed in 2.1 (DG may know otherwise?). I see buffnet is connected via sprint on a T1... Their routings have had problems over the last month or so for a day or two at a time; this could have something to do with these problems too. (there were two simultaneous cable cuts in the link south from NYC, and the resulting routing problems lasted about a week...) Seems smooth today. >> If I ftp to ftp.cdrom.com using a freebsd on my ethernet ring to theirs, >> I can connect ok, and things seem ok, unless I cd and ls too many times. >> I can maybe do 10 or 15 commands, and then it stalls.

I have no problem with this and I run an ISP with 6 fbsd servers all with multiple virtual hosts (and another with 5); I ftp a lot to various sites including cdrom.com, though now that I've mirrored 2.1R and the sup I usually use mine (also on a freebsd system :-) Mirror has a problem but that is known (memory leaks in perl...) The only TCP hang I ever see is a known one with rlogin/rlogind which can sometimes hang when you hit ^C with lots of output queued. >Again, this isn't a generally-observed symptom. >If you're in a position to reduce the problem to the fewest required parts >and document it in a repeatable fashion, I'm certain that something could >be done to identify and resolve the problem. > >Meantime, nobody else can help because we don't see these problems. Note again - LOTS of small ISPs use freebsd servers. It is a famous problem to get reproducible trouble reports (amazing how things don't change - since the early 360 days the universal operator complaint on failure is 'lost console'.... Yes, I've been in the software business entirely too long :-) Even the motherboards can matter if you have bus-master cards, though that tends to crash the system on failure and you aren't complaining about *that* :-) The in-house systems at my place are on two different motherboards; ASUS Triton/pentium and IBM Blue-lightning (non-FPU 486 clones). Both work great once we got rid of the ULSI coprocessors (which are a documented problem); now the BL boards have no coprocessor and run awk real slow but who cares... -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 27 11:46:00 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA17599 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 11:46:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhub.aros.net ([205.164.111.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA17565 for ; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 11:45:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from terra.aros.net (terra.aros.net [205.164.111.10]) by mailhub.aros.net (8.6.12/Unknown) with ESMTP id MAA02234; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 12:46:30 -0700 Received: (from angio@localhost) by terra.aros.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id MAA19649; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 12:45:38 -0700 From: Dave Andersen Message-Id: <199602271945.MAA19649@terra.aros.net> Subject: Re: Ncr scsi: overlapped commands attempted To: se@zpr.uni-koeln.de (Stefan Esser) Date: Tue, 27 Feb 1996 12:45:38 -0700 (MST) Cc: angio@aros.net, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199602261508.AA04154@Sysiphos> from "Stefan Esser" at Feb 26, 96 04:08:05 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Lo and behold, Stefan Esser once said: > On Feb 23, 19:10, Dave Andersen wrote: > } > } ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted > } P133 - 32 MB, 2 1gb NEC SCSI drives, 1 2gb HP SCSI drive > > Yes: Switch off tagged commands ... :( > > options "SCSI_NCR_DFLT_TAGS=0" > options "SCSI_NCR_MAX_TAGS=0" Works like a charm with these options set. > You can selectively enable tagged commands > for the other drives from /etc/rc.local: > > ncrcontrol -t0 -t1 -s tags=4 I get an error message when I try this: ncrcontrol: incompatable with kernel.

It means that the system has not recognized the board? Yes. You need to type '-c' at the Boot: prompt to get the configuration utility, then program ep0 with the proper IRQ and base address settings. You will have to disable Plug and Play on the card, otherwise it'll drive FreeBSD nuts. Use the 3c5x9cfg utility to turn it off.

Type '-c' at the boot prompt and configure your hardware appropriately. You may need to run 3c589cfg to set a fixed IRQ and base address for the Ethernet pccard. Btw, zp0 is the one you want. After you get installed and if you feel up to it, apply the pccard patches and get some better PCMCIA support. I believe the package is available on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming.

It's a server configuration error. The server needs to have a mime type for .zip or .exe that tells it it's not a text file.

I would use the devfs device registration mechanism to trigger an "arrival" event. Conventional media would "arrive" as well, then (it would just never depart). Arrival would trigger a "mount" internally to a POSIX namespace accessable by root. Devices with removable media would "arrive" before their media did, and when the media showed up (was inserted) would fall into the physical to logical device translation that gives us partions and slieces and media perfection and compression... etc..

All you have to do is download the directory of the port you want (on ftp.freebsd.org you can do `get .tar.gz' and get it as a tarball). Expand on your machine, and type "make all install" and enjoy. It will pull the source file automatically. If it has trouble, mkdir /usr/ports/distfiles and put the file in question in there.

One of the requirements for inclusion in FreeBSD is that the code be UCB style license. There are non-critical system components which are under GPL or other license. The SUP sources are available as a package, with the gzip and other enhancements (ie: authentication, etc.). You are free to use them and distribute them in accordance with the terms from which they were derived (I can't remember if SUP is UCB'ed or not). Hey, while you are here: how about a port of some of the cool SGI software to FreeBSD? There is an OpenGL implementation avaialbe. 8-).

Not as part of the base distribution. It is suggested that you use chroot instead of trusting a shell to correctly trap all path accesses. There is an rksh, which is mostly AIX rsh compatible.

So you can boot from a DOS partition, but you can't mount it as root using FBSDBOOT. There's another one, called NETBOOT that will boot via bootp, and another (DOSBOOT?) which does what I said as far as loading from a BSD partition. Sorry for any confusion... I suspected that the poster wanted to actually run from the local file system mounted as '/', and jumped the gun on my response.

Sounds like you're missing some of the kernel sources. That is the System V IPC emulation, sounds like. I'd try grabbing new kernel source, reinstalling that, and recompiling.

Run an suid root program as the shell and suid down to the user before execing the real shell. The real shell will inherit the modified defaults.

By default PNP devices are disabled until they are specifically enabled -- this prevents them from conflicting. Probably you don't have a PnP BIOS on your machine, or the BIOS POST would have enabled the card. Contact Amancio Hasty, or better yet, the multimedia list, for the most recent PNP code, and incorporate it in a new kernel build.

You can boot "-c" at the boot prompt, and type "visual" to set the driver to see the card. You will need to know the card parameters (IRQ, base address, etc.) before doing this.

It is current in pre-alpha testing (eg., a lot of things work), and will shortly be in a public alpha testing (eg., most things work, but I make not promises.) As of this time it does not support NIS or kerberos, and has very limited group management capabilities. I would like to run a limited public alpha test of the software before going to a wider beta, as I have access only to a few FreeBSD systems to test it on. My expected release for the alpha is next Wednesday (I'm announcing ahead so the message has time to propagate some over the various mediums of relevance). When it is available, it will be downloadable from: http://www.watson.org/FreeBSD/userman2/ I will post a message to this group when its actually released. It should be noted that this software really is very alpha -- when I release it, it will be at a point where most features seem to work correctly on my personal test machines. This says nothing of anyone elses machine, so this should not be used on any large scale user systems unless you're willing to risk the user database being corrupted, and having to boot single user mode to copy old files over the new ones.

You need to disable Plug and Play on that card or port to keep the PnP hardware for moving the card around on you. FreeBSD does not take well to hardware not being where it thinks. Until someone programs PnP support into fbsd, that is. (hint? no.)

I Used the same method for booting NT and FreeBSD. The one problem I had was due to the fact that I had a separate disk for each OS. NT is of course on the boot drive. I copied the boot sector from the FreeBSD drive to a file in C:\ on NT and modified boot.ini...... The problem was that of course that boot sector expected to be on the second drive, not the first and therefore failed exactly as the original poster described. In the end, I just made a small FreeBSD '/' partition on my primary hard drive and now things work fine. Sorry for the laymans terms but that is the way I understand it. Please correct me if I am wrong and also let me know if I can get rid of '/' on my NT drive and keep the two OSs on completely separate hard drives. -Steve From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 27 16:11:38 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA25697 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 16:11:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from tad.cetlink.net (root@tad-external.cetlink.net [206.31.104.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA25690 for ; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 16:11:36 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jeff@localhost) by tad.cetlink.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA18502 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 19:13:06 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199602280013.TAA18502@tad.cetlink.net> Subject: majordomo port?

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk All tty settings return to their initial/lock state after the port is closed. When you do stty -f /dev/cuaa1 57600, stty will open the port, set the bps rate, and then close the port. When the port closes, it goes back to 9600. What program are you using to talk to your modem? I'd try telling that program what bps rate you'd like to use. For example, if you're using /usr/bin/tip, then edit /etc/remote and insert br#57600 in the entry you're using. If you're using your own home grown software, use the cfsetispeed() and cfsetospeed() functions. If you're doing this from the command line or from scripts, here's a trick: sleep 999999 /dev/cuaa1 # Talk to modem at that rate You could also use stty -f /dev/cuaia1 57600, which sets the INITIAL state of the modem. The next open of that port will get you 57600 bps.

Just cd into /usr/src/lib/libmytinfo, edit config.h, change the '#undef TERMINFO' to '#define TERMINFO', make, make install. libmytinfo will now support both termcap and terminfo. My third try: whose arm to I have to twist to make this change the default? I've found nothing that it breaks, and it has several benefits. -- Rich Kuhns rjk@grauel.com PO Box 6249 100 Sawmill Road Lafayette, IN 47903 (317)477-6000 x319 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 28 07:04:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA13007 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 07:04:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail1.mnsinc.com (mail1.mnsinc.com [206.55.3.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA12999 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 07:04:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from steffi.mnsinc.com (steffi.mnsinc.com [206.239.33.180]) by mail1.mnsinc.com (8.6.5/8.7.1) with ESMTP id KAA28246 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 10:04:13 -0500 Received: (from robert@localhost) by steffi.mnsinc.com (8.7.4/8.7.4) id KAA00702; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 10:04:10 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 10:04:10 -0500 (EST) From: Robert Nicholson Message-Id: <199602281504.KAA00702@steffi.mnsinc.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: freebsd sendmail V8 compile always resolvs to smtp mailer for local delivery Reply-To: robert@steffi.mnsinc.com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've had a reliable sendmail configuration in the past but on freebsd I cannot understand why sendmail chooses to resolv robert@steffi.mnsinc.com to the SMTP mailer instead of the local one.

My hardware is: 1. UMC486SX/40, ISA-IDE, ET Synhronus Interface, HDD - WD 1GB, Ethernet - SMC EtherEZ. 2. UMC486SX/40, ISA-IDE, ET Synhronus Interface, HDD - WD 340MB, Ethernet - 3C509. Distributions selected via novice menu option are Developer and Kern-Developer respectively. I found that about 30 hours after restart the /etc directory is not visible on above systems. Bellow I include /var/log/messages and /sys/i386/conf/ET files from the first box. On my second system I have quotas disabled but it works the same way. The /etc directory is starting visible if I reboot or try a few times "cd /etc" and "du /" or after second probe of login as root (from console). Have You got any suggestion?

Anyway...what I've been using to talk to the modem is the interactive mode of iijppp. What I've been finding is that I keep connecting at either 9600 if I set the speed to 14400, and I connect at 14400 if I set it much faster...up to and including 57600. The difference being once I establish communications at 14400, the modem connection seems to "hang". (Not "hang up", just "hang".) Anyway, I need to go work out what's going on in rc.serial. I've spent some cursory time there and I've got to dig some more, parts of it just don't make sense to me yet. I think the sio man page is probably another place to visit. And then again, it could be my modem. I'm utterly convinced that all modems are the work of Satan. :-) Thanks for everybody's suggestions. I need to RTFM some more and I'll report back when I figure my problem out.

If you are dialing into an Ascend TS (from memory), then the Ascend PPP s/w doesn't start negotiation until it sees a character come down the line form the client. i.e. it's expecting the client to initiate negotiation! I got around this by waiting for my ISP to throw the ``HELLO'' string down the line (a standard they use to indicate whatever protocol you asked for is about to be started), and then throw some random character at it (I chose a space for some reason). Seems to work. Not sure what affect that'll have on other implimentations tho, as I only use Ascends now.

I just did a simple test and it looks like "edquota -t" isn't making the appropriate quotactl call to inform the kernel that the grace period has changed. As a work around, rebooting after running "edquota -t" should be get things right. Note: the grace periods are on a per-file system basis, not a per-user basis. Running "edquota -t -u myname" is exactly the same as running "edquota -t". Edquota ignores the user name in this case.

The new fvwm does this with by moving the previosly global things like NoPPosition, MwmHints, etc., into the Style mechanism. * GoodStuff is now called FvwmButtons * There's a new FvwmPrompt module out of which you can build window manager dialog boxes. * Quoting in the config file has been cleaned up, but not substantially enough for me to care too much. * You can use either m4 or C preprocessor macros in your file. Steve Passe (another FreeBSD users) though found a race condition in the m4 processing and has submitted patches, although I don't know if they've made it in yet. Version 2.0.41 was recently released. It's at ftp://ftp.hpc.uh.edu/pub/fvwm/version-2/fvwm-2.0.41.tar.gz. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 28 12:53:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA10872 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 12:53:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from omega.physik.fu-berlin.de ([130.133.3.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA10861 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 12:53:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from prospero.physik.fu-berlin.de (lislip.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.126]) by omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (8.7.1/8.7.1) with ESMTP id VAA11090 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 21:53:00 +0100 (MET) Received: (from news@localhost) by mordillo (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA04003; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 09:04:05 +0100 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Path: graichen From: graichen@omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (Thomas Graichen) Newsgroups: local.freebsd-questions Subject: Re: f77 man page Date: 28 Feb 1996 08:04:05 GMT Organization: his FreeBSD box :-) Lines: 20 Distribution: local Message-ID: <4h129l$3qc@mordillo.physik.fu-berlin.de> References: <9602271607.AA26588@ruddles.stat.uconn.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.physik.fu-berlin.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Jeffrey M.

The BSD partition entry is located from the partition entry by multiplying out the 24 bit C/H/S value to get the start sector the the BSD partition. The start sector of the BSD partition contains the BSD boot block (loaded by the system MBR or the boot manager -- e.g. OS-BS) that does the above, followed by a disklabel (a BSD-specific mechanism for making logical partitions). In the disklabel is the absolute sector offset of the 'a' slice and its length (the 'a' slice is the default slice for the '/' partition, which is the FS root). The second stage boot can not read a disklabel after cylinder 1024. The second stage boot can not read inode 2 in the file system in slice 'a' is after cylinder 1024. The second stage boot can not read the directory data block pointed to by inode 2 and containing the directory entry for the file 'kernel' if the directory data block (or *any* intermedia directory data blocks) is past cylinder 1024. The second stage boot can not read the inode for the 'kernel' file if the inode in slice 'a' is after cylinder 1024. The second stage boot can not read the disk blocks containing the kernel image and associated with the inode pointed to by the 'kernel' directory entry if any of the blocks which make up the image (located in slice 'a') are located after cylinder 1024. The Cylinder 1024 limitation is an inherent design flaw in the INT 13 raw sector read interface parameter passing mechanism, which can only take C/H/S values as arguments. Ther exists an alternative INT 13 interface that take absolute sector offset as a 32 bit value instead. This interface is (inaccurately) called "LBA" (or Logical Block Address). Most controllers do not support LBA. Most LBA support is bia a sector-relocating TSR that is loaded in place of the normal MBR and subsequently loads the normal MBR, as provided by OnTrack DiskManager 6.x and 7.x products. The FreeBSD second stage boot blocks use the old INT 13 interface, since the can not depend on the new one existing, and there are space limitations which preclude increasing the size of the second stage boot to accomodate LBA probe and utilization code.

You can also build a new second stage boot, and hard code the drive and unit numbers to force the BSD boot to load from the second drive. You will have to look at /sys/i386/boot/... to work this out for yourself.

It is impossible to be 100% non-destructive in an ISA Plug-N-Play probe sequence. This is beacause the PnP specification dictates the use of ports used by early IBM parallel port boards. The best win for real PnP will be the death of ISA. Barring that, you will *always* have to manually configure some hardware/kernel seetings for *some* machine *somewhere*. 8-(.

You have incorrectly negotiated "line mode" on the NCSA client telnet. This may be related to NCSA using option WILL/WONT/DO/DONT ordering to attempt to determine if the telnetd is a 4.2 (broken OOB channel) or 4.3 (fixed OOB channel) and it guessing wrong. Update your NCSA telnet client to a more recent version. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

It is now being sold commercially for several unixen. I cannot recommend the product; I left the company over design arguments with the two idiot vice presidents who were designing the product on viewfoils without knowing anything about the technology OR customer needs. For those who want to build a distributed password system ala kerberos or nis, that require some sort of server to be available as well as the network working, go right ahead. You've obviously never experienced a 100-node thin coax ethernet falling on its face once or twice an hour. The design we arrived at, with input from a couple of users with 2,000+ node networks of unix systems, was a distributed database design. Each system had a local copy of the password database (and other configuration databases) to run off; this product was responsible for keeping the different databases up to date. It is a more difficult problem to solve than writing a newer, better NIS, but I haven't seen a newer, better NIS that was truly better than NIS; none of them work at all if someone trips over your network cable and unplugs it. I know most people these days insist their computer is useless if the network isn't working, and there is some validity to this, but you can really get bitten if root cannot even login because ypbind has the system by its figurative throat. Now, if you want to do a distribued system, give me a call. This is a pet project that I never got to finish, and I'd love to discuss the design in a more appropriate forum. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 28 18:23:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA09893 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 18:23:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from ki.net (root@ki.net [142.77.249.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA09865 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 18:23:18 -0800 (PST) Received: (from scrappy@localhost) by ki.net (8.7.4/8.7.4) id VAA22717; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 21:22:41 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 21:22:40 -0500 (EST) From: "Marc G.

Mine lasted longer; it crashed hard whenever I loaded very many pictures (pixmaps in general). I could surf the web for an average of 2 sites before it crashed :-( The solution for me was a combination; sup the 2.1-STABLE sys tree (may not be needed but DG said there were a few kernel-stack handling fixes), and *also* get the latest S3 server from ftp.xfree86.org. (it should be 3.1.2B-Beta or later; the A-Beta one didn't fix the problem at least for me. A more minor version of this happens to a friend on a 486 with a VLB S3 card (fahrenheit 1280+ VLB with 2mb ram) but he only crashes every other day or so. There is another later server now; I don't know much about either of these, but on ftp.xfree86.org: ftp> pwd 257 "/pub/XFree86/3.1.2D/FreeBSD-2.0.5" is current directory. ftp> dir *S3* 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. -rw-r--r-- 1 701 1190 1206787 Feb 25 07:31 X312D9NS3.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 701 1190 1199083 Feb 25 09:51 X312DS3.tgz 226 Transfer complete. The X312BS3.tgz worked fine for me (in another directory, of course...) I don't know what a 9NS3 is either. Part of the 312B release notes say: ----- o Improved linear fb detection for PCI cards. In particular this should allow most Trio64V+ cards to use the linear fb, which seems to prevent a lot of the lockups that have been reported. ------ Though my old non-direct-mapped S3 card had lockups too, so I don't know if this is the whole story. BTW it also happened to me using an ISA S3 card (Fahrenheit 1280+) so the bug, whatever it was, didn't depend on the huge memory map or the Trio chip of the Stealth 64. I ended up changeing out my cache, ram, and the video card all to no avail :-( At least static cache is getting cheap... (and I ended up using it in the W95 machine I built up for my daughter) (I'm also using an ASUS Triton (XE) motherboard with a P100, back to pipeline burst cache, 16mb of non-edo ram. 16mb is shy of enough to run the accel server and netscape; it ends up swapping a bunch with nothing else but a few xterms :-( -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 28 22:24:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA03661 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 22:24:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from pelican.com (pelican.com [206.16.90.21]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA03640 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 22:24:21 -0800 (PST) Received: by pelican.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #10) id m0ts1mk-0000SMC; Wed, 28 Feb 96 22:24 PST Message-Id: Date: Wed, 28 Feb 96 22:24 PST From: pete@pelican.com (Pete Carah) To: support@xinside.com Subject: Re: PS/2 Mouse and Accelerated X In-Reply-To: <3131FF09.3E900E4@xinside.com> References: <199602261634.LAA29467@cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu> Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk In article <3131FF09.3E900E4@xinside.com> you write: >> I am having problems with my mouse pointer dying under X.

I see this problem also with a straight Xfree86 S3 server (X312B) and a PS/2 mouse; just switching away from the virtual screen and back fixes it. I don't have to wait for a screen blank; just sitting without moving the mouse for a few minutes will do it. It didn't happen with a serial mouse but I had serious jumping problems with the serial mouse as if the driver wasn't disabling the 550A fifos, so went to PS/2 mode... Thus it may not be unique to the xinside server. I'm using a Trio64 PCI Diamond board (the DRAM one with 2mb). >> Has anyone else seen this?? Is there a solution?? Yes...

You probably do need this (though rmail isn't relevant to news :-); "commands rnews rmail" somewhere in 'sys' (though it may be the default; it is with HDB.) Another possibility is that rnews has wrong permissions itself... CNEWS usually installs rnews in /bin, and the Cnews rnews is a shell script. Also the #! may point wrong; that is often overlooked as a source of permissions messages... I used Cnews with taylor for a long time, both on freebsd and on ESIX before freebsd.

The S3 driver had bugs before the B beta release (I already answered someone else's query about this; using the 312B server fixed it at least for me (all the crashes seem to be in somewhat different circumstances but all happen with *any* S3 card.).) I also went to the 2.1-STABLE kernel but don't know if that helped or not; it didn't help before getting the 312B server so probably not. In my case it crashed on loading pixmaps; I could never get more than 2 or 3 xli's to work before a crash, and netscape loved to crash it. Sure looked like hardware :-( There are some more fixes in the 312D server but it may not work with our libraries (it "ought" to...) since it is based on X11R6.1 and not just X11R6. >Take a look at /var/log/messages and see if something happened to the >program or the X server. It crashes hard with the server apparently writing all through memory; there is no opportunity for messages or dumps. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 28 22:50:38 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA06785 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 22:50:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from pelican.com (pelican.com [206.16.90.21]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA06753 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 22:50:29 -0800 (PST) Received: by pelican.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #10) id m0ts2C0-0000SMC; Wed, 28 Feb 96 22:50 PST Message-Id: Date: Wed, 28 Feb 96 22:50 PST From: pete@pelican.com (Pete Carah) To: angio@aros.net Subject: Re: Sending an exe or zip via HTML In-Reply-To: <199602272108.OAA26250@terra.aros.net> Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk In article <199602272108.OAA26250@terra.aros.net> you write: > >Lo and behold, Dale once said: > >> Does anyone know why when I code an HTML A REF to allow a user to >> download a file (like an exe or a zip) only the code shows up on the >> screen rather than the usual Netscape (Save To DIsk) dialogue box? >> >> Does this have something to do with the file's mode or ownership? >> >> How do I code an HTML line to let a user download such a file? > > It's a server configuration error.

You didn't mention which version of FreeBSD you are using. The problem is likely caused by the listen queue limit being too low, causing some connection requests to get dropped. Check the value of "SOMAXCONN" in /sys/sys/socket.h. Make sure this is 128 (it is probably much lower if you are running 2.1R or older FreeBSD). Also make sure that the second argument to the listen() syscall in your web server has a value that is large, 128 for instance. The actual value that the kernel uses will be limited to SOMAXCONN. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 28 23:53:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA17031 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 23:53:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from nervosa.com (root@nervosa.com [192.187.228.86]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA17014 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 23:53:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from nervosa.com (coredump@onyx.nervosa.com [10.0.0.1]) by nervosa.com (8.7.4/nervosa.com.2) with SMTP id XAA23414; Wed, 28 Feb 1996 23:53:01 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 23:53:00 -0800 (PST) From: invalid opcode To: Robert Nordier cc: mikefish@lydia.bradley.edu, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: mount_msdos In-Reply-To: <199602290707.JAA01033@eac.iafrica.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 29 Feb 1996, Robert Nordier wrote: > > fd0 is your floppy drive.

I want to have a very specifc host hanging off one of the interfaces, and have the rest of the network reachable off the other. I thought this would be possible with something like ifconfig ed0 inet x.y.z.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ifconfig ep0 inet x.y.z.2 netmask 0xffffff00 route add host x.y.z.3 x.y.z.2 route add net x.y.z.0 x.y.z.1 which should, as far as I can tell, route everything for the single host .3 via interface ep0, and route everything else destined for the network via ed0. It doesn't work. After ifconfiging ep0 as above it doesn't even appear in the routing tables (as shown by netstat -r) and the route commands fail. I can achieve this in a snap if I subnet. But I don't really want to split the network in two.

The other "quick fix" to a slow webserver is to disable reverse namelookups. The effects this has on a webserver that gets a very high per-minute hit rate is just amazing. Of course, you don't get pretty little "domain reports" unless you use something to analyze the files that'll do the lookups itself, but it's a small price to pay if you can't afford a hardware upgrade. If you're using a server with caching reverse DNS lookups or something of that nature (spinner, if it's available for FreeBSD, etc) you won't achieve as much of a benefit from this. To compile Apache without reverse namelookups, add the -DMINIMAL_DNS key.

It's displaying at 1024x768x256 on a 14" no name monitor (it's badged AOC Spectrum, but I've seen the same monitor with different manufacturers badges on). As part of a general office upgrade I've been asked if I want a better monitor/card combo. So I'm after some recommendations. Ideally I want to be running X at 1280 x 1024 with a ludicrous number of colours (16 million would be nice) but I'll settle for 1280 x 1024 with 256 colours. All this should be happening on a monitor that's at least 17" big. Flat screen would be nice, but isn't a must. I'd like to stick with the current video card if possible, and just throw some extra RAM at it, although getting a new video card is not out of the question, as the existing one can be moved into another machine. Drivers for other OS's is not a requirement. Is anybody on this list running anything like that and are happy with it? If so, would you share the information?

I selected the installation to take place on the second drive and chose the "bootEasy" option as the boot manager. Since the boot manager appears to be the probelm, how do I go about "installing it from DOS"? The installation guide doesn't seem to offer any tips on doing this. If I use fdisk after booting with the Windows emergency boot disk I can set the DOS partition to active and Windows will boot when I reset the system but it doesn't seem to know about FreeBSD. Also, since my SCSI card is at IO Port address 0x334 instead of 0x330 as expected per the installation doc, will the boot manager be installed properly if I attempt to do it from dos?

The software base has always been XFree86 (but then I do not recall ever patching anything else so large). The bug manifests itself in the form of patch stopping because it cannot find a specific file to patch. Unfortunately, I have always taking the lazy route and just did it on the nearest Sun or HP and did not bother to track it down. In this last episode, I actually tried it twice and got two very different instances of files not being found during the patch. So my question is this: 1. Is this clearly a FreeBSD file system bug? 2. If so, any ideas on how I can narrow this down enough so that someone more adequately informed can pursue it? Thanks!

If you did it on your own then you may need to double-check that you have the common-log format modules enabled in the config file. When you start httpd try using "httpd -f FULL_PATH_TO_httpd.conf" I have no problems getting the ports version, stock apache or apache_ssl running under FreeBSD (Well at least under stable, cant say how current fairs).

Send mail to mime@docserver.cac.washington.edu for more info. --0-1285152922-825627296=:550 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I have been asked by Abacus Research and Design, Inc., (ARDI), makers of the Executor program, to prepare a segment in their FAQ on how to install and use their program with FreeBSD. Note that I am NOT an ARDI employee nor contractor; I am merely doing this on a volunteer basis, to help both ARDI and FreeBSD (since, IMHO, getting more good-quality apps to work under FreeBSD is a definite "plus" to the FreeBSD community). Since I obviously want to do the best job possible, and not leave any glaring mistakes or ambiguities in the final product, I'd like to ask the FreeBSD community for help in reviewing it. The attached tarfile, "FAQFreeBSD.tar.gz", contains three different versions of the FAQ: one Text, one PostScript, and one Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 5.1a binary file. (If you are already using Executor, this file can be opened directly from MSWord; if you are not, I'm pretty sure you can open it in Word for Windows; just use the file that DOES NOT start with a "%" sign). Please review, make comments, and send back. Probably not a good idea to clog the lists with all your comments; keep it private, to me. If you are wondering "What the @#@#$ is Executor?" let me tell you! It's a REAL NEAT program that emulates a Mac! I love it, because it allows me to do "real work" under FreeBSD where FreeBSD does not have a equivalently good program. I have tried TeX and friends, but still find a GUI word processor like Micorosft Word easier on the brain. When I need powerful spreadsheet stuff, I can now use Excel. I can use PageMaker, Quicken, etc. just fine too. No need to boot into (ugh) DOS any more. I can't wait for WINE or TWIN or etc. to be more stable and to actually work, so this is a GREAT solution for the time being. More information on Executor and ARDI, including such useful documents as the Executor FAQ, are available via WWW at: http://www.ardi.com Fully functional demo versions (only limitation is that they run for only 10-minutes at a time) are available at: ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/Executor_Linux ftp://vorlon.mit.edu/pub/ardi/Executor_Linux Probably best to use vorlon, because it's on a faster net connection (ardi, being a small start-up company, can only afford a 28.8 PPP connection at this time...)

Message-Id: <96Feb29.160510est.20491-2@janus.border.com> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I had to do a similar type operation.... treat the new disk as a fresh install, installing the bare minimum.. Then newfs all the files systems on the new disk to clean them.. make some directories in /mnt with '(cd /mnt; mkdir a e f g h)'. This will make /mnt/a /mnt/e /mnt/f /mnt/g /mnt/h to correspond with of course you don't need them all. you only need the ones that match what is currently on your ide disk... ie: /mnt/a will match /dev/wd0a which is where / is located. /mnt/e will match /dev/wd0e in case you have /home on /wd0e... get the idea..? Now then, do the following on root(/dev/wd0a) and as in the above example, home (/dev/wd0e). mount /dev/sd0a /mnt/a mount /dev/sd0e /mnt/e (dump 0f - /) | (cd /mnt/a; restore rf -) (dump 0f - /home) | (cd /mnt/e; restore rf -) get the picture.. The result will be a bootable(if the SCSI ID is 0) new 1Gig disk.. don't forget to remove the IDE or put it on the second controller. Hope this helps...(or at least gives you some ideas)...

The TUUCP is fine as it comes; the cnews is the problem. (SVR4 uses the same directory setup for HDB as FBSD uses for Taylor...) The only reason to remake Taylor would be to add strange protocols.

Not really but if you don't have pretty steady uucp connections it isn't worth it.

UUCP is the best thing around for multidomain mail (or multiuser mail in a single domain) on a part-time connected site;; the relevant tcp protocols all assume a full-time connection and POP3 doesn't make it, in spite of the way a lot of smaller ISPs are doing things these days. > > The "performance release" can be configured to smooth out things a bit; > > some help from your feed keeping the batch size down helps too. > > For a smaller site the memory usage of INN is a waste. > Since I'm pretty close to having Cnews working, > I'll prob'ly stick with it, but I'd like to > know about INN if it can be configured for UUCP. > At 03:45, memory isn't a major concern, :-) INN isn't worth it for that... The only advantage over Cnews is that the daemon runs all the time (meaning that once it takes up all that memory it stays...) and that nntp is integrated (in fact INN rnews is just an unbatcher that feeds into nntp). It works better for internet-connected sites or those with lots of uucp connections, so that transport is going most of the time. I feed 3 uucp sites from here with inn (and take news in from them too); it is pretty seamless, though the batchparms take some figuring out :-) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 29 13:25:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA10626 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 13:25:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from chromatic.com ([199.5.224.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA10613 for ; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 13:25:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from krypton.chromatic.com (krypton.chromatic.com [199.5.224.4]) by chromatic.com (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id NAA28291; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 13:24:59 -0800 (PST) Received: by krypton.chromatic.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA04882; Thu, 29 Feb 96 13:24:57 PST Message-Id: <9602292124.AA04882@krypton.chromatic.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.4 10/10/95 To: Ben Jackson Cc: beta@XFree86.Org, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, hua@chromatic.com Subject: Re: Large scale patching fails (most probably a FreeBSD bug) In-Reply-To: Your message of "Thu, 29 Feb 1996 13:11:03 PST." <199602292111.NAA06009@eng4.sequent.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 29 Feb 1996 13:24:56 -0800 From: Ernest Hua Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > [patch] seemingly random failure.

Before anyone responds (but I do appreciate it) on the issues of "did you use the right options" etc ... I did already make sure that I used "-p -E" as specified by the patch files. When I did this twice (two precisely the same passes using the same tree in the same state with the same patch files) I got two different sets of errors. That is why I do not think this problem is specific to XFree86.

The TUUCP is fine as it comes; the cnews is the problem. (SVR4 uses the same directory setup for HDB as FBSD uses for Taylor...) The only reason to remake Taylor would be to add strange protocols.

Not really but if you don't have pretty steady uucp connections it isn't worth it.

UUCP is the best thing around for multidomain mail (or multiuser mail in a single domain) on a part-time connected site;; the relevant tcp protocols all assume a full-time connection and POP3 doesn't make it, in spite of the way a lot of smaller ISPs are doing things these days. > > The "performance release" can be configured to smooth out things a bit; > > some help from your feed keeping the batch size down helps too. > > For a smaller site the memory usage of INN is a waste. > Since I'm pretty close to having Cnews working, > I'll prob'ly stick with it, but I'd like to > know about INN if it can be configured for UUCP. > At 03:45, memory isn't a major concern, :-) INN isn't worth it for that... The only advantage over Cnews is that the daemon runs all the time (meaning that once it takes up all that memory it stays...) and that nntp is integrated (in fact INN rnews is just an unbatcher that feeds into nntp). It works better for internet-connected sites or those with lots of uucp connections, so that transport is going most of the time. I feed 3 uucp sites from here with inn (and take news in from them too); it is pretty seamless, though the batchparms take some figuring out :-) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 29 15:20:42 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA18474 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 15:20:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from rocky.sri.MT.net (rocky.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA18465 for ; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 15:20:36 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id QAA13183; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 16:21:38 -0700 Date: Thu, 29 Feb 1996 16:21:38 -0700 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199602292321.QAA13183@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: tomppa@fidata.fi Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Backup problem In-Reply-To: <199602292125.XAA02246@zeta.fidata.fi> References: <199602292125.XAA02246@zeta.fidata.fi> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > My system hangs when I'm doing full backup to DAT drive with tar or > cpio. ... > it takes 5-55 minutes before it happens. .... > I changed bt driver to aha (AMI SCSI controller is compatible with > buslogic 742a and Adaptec 1542).

The TUUCP is fine as it comes; the cnews is the problem. (SVR4 uses the same directory setup for HDB as FBSD uses for Taylor...) The only reason to remake Taylor would be to add strange protocols.

I have replaced sendmail with smail on all my non-leaf sites (and replace sendmail.cf with one I cribbed from solaris for those :-) and the freebsd default directories for that don't work out either...

Not really but if you don't have pretty steady uucp connections it isn't worth it.

UUCP is the best thing around for multidomain mail (or multiuser mail in a single domain) on a part-time connected site;; the relevant tcp protocols all assume a full-time connection and POP3 doesn't make it, in spite of the way a lot of smaller ISPs are doing things these days. > > The "performance release" can be configured to smooth out things a bit; > > some help from your feed keeping the batch size down helps too. > > For a smaller site the memory usage of INN is a waste. > Since I'm pretty close to having Cnews working, > I'll prob'ly stick with it, but I'd like to > know about INN if it can be configured for UUCP. > At 03:45, memory isn't a major concern, :-) INN isn't worth it for that... The only advantage over Cnews is that the daemon runs all the time (meaning that once it takes up all that memory it stays...) and that nntp is integrated (in fact INN rnews is just an unbatcher that feeds into nntp). It works better for internet-connected sites or those with lots of uucp connections, so that transport is going most of the time. I feed 3 uucp sites from here with inn (and take news in from them too); it is pretty seamless, though the batchparms take some figuring out :-) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 29 16:02:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA21879 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 16:02:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from quackerjack.cc.vt.edu ([198.82.160.250]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA15291 for ; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 14:37:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from sable.cc.vt.edu (sable.cc.vt.edu [128.173.16.30]) by quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id RAA10703 for ; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 17:37:01 -0500 (EST) Received: from dbostedo.async.vt.edu (dbostedo.async.vt.edu [128.173.21.170]) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA19369 for ; Thu, 29 Feb 1996 17:36:59 -0500 Message-ID: <31365435.3EB4@vt.edu> Date: Thu, 29 Feb 1996 17:34:45 -0800 From: "David M.

Hm. Sounds like it doesn't know where your config files are. Did you install the port/package or did you roll it yourself? Port config default is /usr/local/www/server/conf, 1.0.3 rolled yourself is in /usr/local/etc/httpd/server/conf.

Here's my problem: I was able to make a shared library file - libmac.a. What I'm confused about is how come if I have to compile it together with my c program, I have to place the option "-lmac" at the end of the command. i.e. cc -O2 zo.c -lmac If I try to include "-lmac" before zo.c, the procedures compiled in libmac.a won't be seen at all, and the compiler returns errors saying these procedures are unreferenced from text segment. Why is this so? Any clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

No. libname.a is a normal 'ar' format library. You need to define SHLIB_MAJOR and SHLIB_MINOR to get the standard template to produce a shared library. An example : # # Makefile for the vhf70 interface library # LIB= vhf70_if SRCS= if_misc.c if_rtc.c if_rm.c if_sc.c if_dc.c if_ac.c if_id.c if_ds.c if_gc .c if_tx.c if_md.c NOPROFILE= yes DEBUG_FLAGS= -g CFLAGS= -Wall SHLIB_MAJOR= 1 SHLIB_MINOR= 1 .include > > > about is how come if I have to compile it together with my c program, I > > > have to place the option "-lmac" at the end of the command. i.e. > > > > > > cc -O2 zo.c -lmac > > > > > > If I try to include "-lmac" before zo.c, the procedures compiled in > > > libmac.a won't be seen at all, and the compiler returns errors saying > > > these procedures are unreferenced from text segment.

Either way both files will be linked > together, so why can't the linker find those procedures in libmac.a if I > typed -lmac before zo.c? Because it reads the commandline left to right. It picks up dependencies and resolves them as it goes. In the normal case, it finds the dependencies in 'zo.c', and resolves them when it's reading the library. In your reversed case, there's nothing for it to search through afterwards. > - Humprey - -- ]] 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.

It only sees the DOS partition on the first drive. If I run fdisk from DOS and look at the config parameters for the second disk. The partition type is "Unknown" and the label is blank. Shouldn't this be labeled "FreeBSD" or something like that? Acording to fdisk, the DOS partition is of size 1030 (instead of 1024?) but my drive is a 1G drive. Could this be the problem? Before anything boots I get a "Partition does not match > 1G setting". Also, I changed the "large disk access mode" in the main Bios from "DOS" to "Other" and re-installed FreeBSD for the 3rd time but this didn't fix the problem either. I also executed fdisk from DOS and selected "make partition active" for the 2nd drive but I got a "Can only make active partition on 1st drive" or something like that. Any other ideas?

Alternatively, users can apply a filter to their incoming mail that filters out duplicate message-ids. The rest of the problem is user education.

What make program should I use ? bsd.prog.mk can be found in /usr/share/mk. It's a "makefile template" that's designed to create makefiles much easier.

Here's an oversimplification: the linker will keep definitions for symbols that are actually used and toss out the others. With your mac library first, you get a bunch of symbol definitions and no references for them, so they're tossed out. Then here comes your zo.o, which has references for them, but they're nowhere to be found. The other way around, the linker knows it need definitions for those undefined references in zo.o, and it'll add those when it next sees the mac lib. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 1 08:47:50 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA23937 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Mar 1996 08:47:50 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA23931 Fri, 1 Mar 1996 08:47:48 -0800 (PST) From: "Jonathan M.

(professor lenat, could you help us please?) sending to either hardware or scsi only may miss the person that has the answer. sending to questions only may miss stefan esser (mr. ncr, thank you stefan for helping me ;) ) jmb ps. summary is in final draft stage. stefan is correctly my errors. will be posted to questions (closing the loop) soon.

The objects are pulled in if there exists references to the symbols they export at the time the link occurs. If you link the library first, no symbol references exist in the linker, and nothing is pulled in. This is why you have to link X programs -lXt -lXext -lX11. Since the objects in the library are examined in order, in turn, this is why you have to run "ranlib" on libraries to generate crossreferences to cause the objects to be pulled in (even if they are interdependent). You probably don't care about all this, since you didn't want a non-shared library (like you have) anyway.

Look at the partition table on the first disk. 1) If it has one partition of an unknown type, it should be marked active. The partition table is contained in an OnTrack Disk Manager or similar EIDE LBA TSR. a) Exit fdisk and reboot the machine from the hard drive. b) If you get an OS-BS or boot manager prompt, then select the first item. If this fails to boot DOS (or Win95 or whatever), then: i) Insert the DOS floppy. This will boot DOS from the fopyy with the OnTrack from the hard drive installed. Run Fdisk and make sure the DOS partition is active. Go to step #1. ii) Otherwise, OS-BS has been written over top of the OnTrack (or similar) code, and you will need to reinstall OnTrack to make the disk usable. c) If it boots DOS without ging an OS-BS boot selector prompt: i) Download the DOS install version of the OS-BS boot selector from the FTP site, or pull it off the CDROM onto a DOS disk. ii) Boot the machine in DOS so that the OnTrack code is active. If you boot Win95 by default, choose "Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode" in the shutdown screen (Win95 has boot block "virus protection"). iii) From the DOS prompt, install the OS-BS using the DOS install. 2) Once you have the first disk booting again with OS-BS, you need to run fdisk on the second drive. a) Mark the BSD partition bootable; in the DOS fdisk probram, it will show up as a "non-DOS partition". b) Reboot the machine. From the OS-BS prompt, select the second disk. i) If it complains that it isn't bootable, then you make have OnTrack on the second disk as well. Some vendors ship it on their EIDE disks. You will probably need to boot from the DOS disk again and set the OnTrack "non-DOS partition" active as well. 3) You should be up and running. 4) At your earliest convenience, switch to SCSI. 8-). 5) There is no #5.

I think you've run into the usual boot-manager-on-disk-2-doesn't-work problem. :-) Go onto the CDROM, cd \tools\dos, unpack and install bt17.zip. That should get you a boot menu you can pick DOS and FreeBSD from. DON'T do this if you are running a disk translator to support disks > 524mb (ontrack, et al).

I've been running 2.0.5 off and on since it came out, and its been a fun challenge. I haven't run up against a problem yet, that wasn't caused my my lack of experience. (The software is that good!) But now I've almost ground to a halt. I've run 2.0.5 on several different computers in succession, and have finally convinced my supervisor that we can't live wihout at least one copy running somewhere. (Hooray!) I'm running the CERN httpd in proxy mode, so that all the people on my internal nets can access the internet. (It works well.) My next project, and the reason for this message, is that I can't find enough information on how to set up a server-side ppp link. I've read the FAQs, and what I'm looking for now, is a DSI. (DumbShit Instructions) If anyone has any pointers or war stories they would like to send to me outside of this list, my address is robert.clark@pii.com. My server system (FreeBSD 2.0.5) is at work, and has an address on the internet 199.44.1.202 (not the real number). I'd like to add a modem so that I can dial in from home, and use the web proxy (also on the same 199.44.1.202:8001 server). My home system is running W95. I'd like to put the home machine on the same 199.44.1.x segment if possible. I can reserve addresses as necessary. The end goal of this phase of the project is use the web proxy from home. Later, after I've worked the kinks out of my understanding of TCP/IP routing, I'd like to set up gated or the like, to allow remote dial-up access to anything on my nets.

First thing is to upgrade to 2.1R, and then get the -stable bits before you do any of this. Then you need to decide if you want to use kernel-PPP or user-PPP. The handbook describes both, but if it were me I'd use kernel-PPP (which I did since I am me. :) The handbook and man-pages should contain enough information for you to get everything running.

Date: Fri, 01 Mar 1996 13:53:27 -0800 From: Paul Traina Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm seeing something -very- strange while working on a device driver. When I add a delay to some code that's doing direct I/O to the parallel port, I get a system hang (but I can pop out to ddb and look at things, however ddb is showing that I'm just waiting in the idle loop). It seems like something is going to sleep on a system resource and never coming back. So, I figured, what the heck, I'd add a couple of kernel printfs in strategic places so I could find out where it was actually hanging (I didn't feel like doing breakpoints). I -thought- our kernel printf was supposed to be safe to use. I'm not at raised IPL and I don't believe I'm overflowing the stack anywhere, but without fail, I get a perfectly reproducable double-panic which takes me out to DDB. Now, the question I'm asking is: Could someone give me a leg-up on tracking the original problem that caused the first panic to occur? Obviously, the stack/frame pointer from the double panic point to the panic code, but the original stuff does (?) get saved somewhere. Is there a simple sequence I can type into ddb to switch stack pointers and frames so I can do a "where" to see where I was when the first panic occured?

FreeBSD uses a 64-bit type for disk offsets, IIRC, which in conjunction with other limits puts our ceiling at around 4TB last I heard.

I have an IBM 486 with a 100MHz overdrive processor and 12MB of RAM. I also have two Hard drives, one a 212MB, C:, that I have Windows '95 installed on. The other one is a 1.2GB Western Digital that is partitioned into 700MB, D:, and 520MB onto which I wish to install freeBSD. I have a version 2.0.5 CD and have followed all the instructions I found. Unforetunately I had to copy it to D: because I have an IDE CD Drive. Anyway, I installed from that DOS partition and everything seems to go great during installation. Then when I reboot, the boot manager doesn't run - even though I told it to install the boot manager. So I install it manually. I have tried installing it on both C: and D:. After I do this and reboot the boot manager runs and I select disk2(F5). At this point it tells me: "Missing File System" I have tried different installation packages, I have tried finding the correct geometry for the drive (even though I think it is correct - 618 cylinders, 64 heads, 63 sectors). Nothing seems to work. During installation with extra debugging on - it tells me that some number doesn't match (sorry I wasn't able to see what) but it is early on. Other thatn that installation goes great. Any ideas??????????????????????????? David M.

I'm tempted to laugh here. You may not know it, but lack of a SINGLE UNIX SPECIFICATION is probably the single most talked about subject of the last 10 years for the Unix community. Since there is no such thing, well, FreeBSD is (I suppose) as close as my digital wristwatch. Seriously, the reason I originally went with FreeBSD (versus Linux) was because FreeBSD is based on the BSD specs (then 4.3, now 4.4). Linux is much less closely tethered to one standard, although that can't be misconstrued as saying anything really negative about Linux, which isn't a bad product itself. Linus (the guy who wrote the original Linux kernel) controls the development of the kernel itself (so I've been informed), but not the userland stuff. This is very philosophical, be real careful in drawing too much from it. FreeBSD does (in my own opinion) care somewhat more about standards, and definitely has a lot of very good points, including pretty solid networking code, and relatively fewer fanatics on the mailing lists here than Linux seems to have. > > -- > Charles Green, PRC Inc.

Sounds like you are confusing.. 1. Adpatec 1542 compatible mode is impossible to handling above 16MB due to 24bit pointer architecutre of firmware. So even hardware has 32bit addressing like EISA, driver can tell to firmware as 32bit address. 2.

It is quite possibly a bad thing to do, but it works for me, so I don't care :) In the vi-source, subdirectory common, file term.c: Change the line (283 in the source I have, nvi 1.34) if (isprint(ch)) { to if (isprint(ch) || ch > '\177') { and compile a new binary. The problem is that isprint() in freebsd only cares about the first 128 characters, which is insufficient when you live for example in Sweden. I didn't feel like checking all characters above 127, so I just allowed them all out of pure laziness and lack of time.

For now, I just use 'curpcb' to find the stack that [might] have been in use at the time of the double fault, and then munge around in the stack manually (yes, I know, yuck). Of course if there was no process running at the time, you'll want to look at tmpstk instead. This code definately code use some work - I just wanted to catch the case in the first place so that machines didn't just "wedge"...and then have at least a snowball's chance of figuring out the cause. I'm not happy with the way that the double fault TSS currently works (using IdlePTD, etc), but I haven't had any time to implement it better. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 2 01:00:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA21023 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 01:00:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from dns.cpbx.net (dns.cpbx.net [205.216.214.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA21013 for ; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 01:00:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from 205.216.214.129 (ppp0.cpbx.net [205.216.214.129]) by dns.cpbx.net (8.6.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id EAA06125 for ; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 04:00:31 -0500 Message-ID: <31381C7E.2C31@dns.cpbx.net> Date: Sat, 02 Mar 1996 04:01:34 -0600 From: Jerame Davis Reply-To: jdavi00@dns.cpbx.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Macintosh; I; 68K) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: I need some help!!!

You must have forgotten to enable proxy arp. You can check by typing arp -a when one of the users is dialed in. When it displays an Ethernet address for the respective IP number, then you have proxy arp. It must look like this: remote.host.do.main (123.45.67.89) at 0:0:c0:cb:7c:e permanent published (proxy only) If not, try ppp -direct users The example ppp.conf file has proxy arp enabled for "users".

I can dial in, but I can't get a ppp connection. Sometimes pppd dumps core. I've followed the instructions in the handbook and man pages, and I can't seem to get anywhere. I've also searched the mailing list archives, but there's mostly questions there, with very few answers. I'm certain that the modem is set up to auto-answer correctly. I use the modem connected to sio0 (com1) to log in, and the modem on sio1 (com2) is set up exactly the same way, except the ttyd1 line in /etc/ttys is set to off. I would like to set them both up to accept incoming ppp connections, but for now I'm only setting up the modem on sio1. The sio0 modem I use to dial-in so that I can work from home. It's not entirely clear how pppd should be invoked. The example in the handbook uses the device tty00, but I can find no such device... I assume it's a leftover from an older version of FreeBSD. I've tried using ttyd1 and cuaa1. ttyd1 is fairly consistent, producing this message in the /var/log/messages file: Mar 1 17:03:58 kirk pppd[306]: pppd 2.1.2 started by steve, uid 0 Mar 1 17:04:45 kirk pppd[306]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd1 Mar 1 17:04:48 kirk pppd[306]: input: Unknown protocol (c025) received!

Trying cuaa1 instead of ttyd1, the results are a lot less consistant... It'll dump core at (what appear to be) completely random times. Once it said that the serial device was not 8-bit clean. From the user end, it connects, and just sits there. The log usually looks like this: Mar 1 17:15:44 kirk pppd[346]: pppd 2.1.2 started by steve, uid 0 Mar 1 17:15:44 kirk pppd[346]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa1 Mar 1 17:16:14 kirk pppd[346]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests The server I'm trying to set up is a FreeBSD 2.1 machine, with two external Cardinal 28.8 modems. The com ports (sio0 and sio1) have 16550AF UARTs. The machine is connected to our local ethernet, and our ethernet will soon be connected to the Internet by way of a Cisco router. I've tried compiling a kernel with and without the GATEWAY option, as well as with and without the ARP_PROXYALL option. The pppd docs suggest that I need the proxyarp option in pppd's optons file, but whenever I try to use it, it dumps core every time a connection is attempted. I've been working on this for hours without getting anywhere, and I've run out of ideas. I would appreciate any advice, example config files, or anything else that might help.

Also, you don't want to stick it in a loop for dial-in processes, only dial-out processes. Let's start from the top. 1) Can you login as a regular user over the modem? This is the *first* thing that you need to be able to do, to make sure your modem and everything else is setup. 2) When you logout, does the modem hangup correctly? If it doesn't, you're in a world of hurt since the connection isn't ended correctly. [ These two make sure the modem is correctly configured, which is generally the problems people are having. ] 3) What is your ppp user login entry in /etc/passwd? Does the login acount exist, what is the login shell? 4) What does /etc/ppp/options look like? [ Is FreeBSD setup correctly? ] 5) What software is the client using to connect to FreeBSD? [ Is the remote end setup correctly? ] Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 2 10:02:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA03424 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 10:02:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from eunet.fi (pim.eunet.fi [193.66.4.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA03414 for ; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 10:02:18 -0800 (PST) Received: by eunet.fi id AA05347 (5.67a/IDA-1.5 for ); Sat, 2 Mar 1996 19:59:09 +0200 Received: by pim.eunet.fi id AA005345 from gate.fidata.fi(193.64.102.1); Sat Mar 2 19:59:03 1996 Received: from zeta.fidata.fi (zeta.fidata.fi [193.64.102.5]) by gate.fidata.fi (8.7.3/8.7.Beta.12) with ESMTP id TAA15261; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 19:58:58 +0200 (EET) Received: (from tomppa@localhost) by zeta.fidata.fi (8.7.4/8.7.3) id TAA05633; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 19:58:57 +0200 (EET) Date: Sat, 2 Mar 1996 19:58:57 +0200 (EET) From: Tomi Vainio Message-Id: <199603021758.TAA05633@zeta.fidata.fi> To: amurai@spec.co.jp Cc: nate@sri.MT.net, questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Backup problem In-Reply-To: <199603020745.QAA02341@tama.spec.co.jp> References: <199602292328.BAA02445@zeta.fidata.fi> <199603020745.QAA02341@tama.spec.co.jp> Reply-To: tomppa@fidata.fi Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Atsushi Murai writes: > > AMI SCSI adapter is EISA bus master and it also can do DMA over 16MB > > memory in Adaptec 1542 compability mode but FreeBSD driver doesn't > > support it. > > Sounds like you are confusing.. > > 1.

I need to set up a FreeBSD box as dial-on-demand router and general internet box. Machine has one 3com ethernet card and one V.34 modem for ppp to my provider. Since we don't need full C class our provider assigned us small block out of full C class 193.2.52.129 to 193.2.52.159 with netmask 255.255.255.224. I set 3com card as 193.2.52.129 with command: ifconfig ep0 inet 193.2.52.129 netmask 255.255.255.224 and added gateway=YES to /etc/sysconfig. I fixed ppp (user ppp) to run as dial-on-demand and it works OK from BSD box, but I can't force the box to route packets from ethernet to PPP link. Machine can reach FreeBSD box on ethernet - I used freebsd box as www-proxy and it works correctly. It just won't work as router. I even added options GATEWAY to kernel config, but no luck. I use FreeBSD-stable. Tomaz p.s. Please mail me directly.

It was easy :-). When I setup my system, I setup 'hostname' to be pacman.symnet.net. I also made that system a secondary DNS server. Another system was the MX host for symnet.net. SymNet is a class C network. According to the man pages, that is sufficient setup for this system's resolver setup. Everything looked fine until I noticed that mail going to any other machine on symnet.net wasn't working. The /var/log/maillogs indicated that it couldn't resolve core or digdug. I became very confused. I checked with nslookup. When it started, it would pick up pacman as the server and begin working. It had some problems (lock up) resolving names. Stated 'couldn't find server' after several minutes. I believe it worked right off the bat, but if I said server pacman, then lookups would bomb/lockup (early morning memory disorder) I tried a simple fix of using resolv.conf and set up my domain and primary DNS. Of course, this fixed all, but the idea of not understanding why something wasn't working made me look further. I noticed that when nslookup came up it stated its address as 0.0.0.0. This was related to the problem. I checked the sources in the resolver lib. I only got as far as the header because it described the solution. The resolver is compiled to not use the Loopback interface so it will use INADDR_ANY which will bind to the first ifconfig'd interface. This happens to be my loopback. It wasn't really stressed anywhere that the interfaces must be placed first in /etc/sysconfig's network_interfaces variables or anywhere else. It is really easy to just put the ether as the second interface to be setup. For my solution, I just made a resolv.conf with the info in order and the first nameserver as 127.0.0.1 . Any recognition of this email to know that it has gotten into the right mailbox would be humbly appreciated. dru dnelson@symnet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 2 19:25:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA06043 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 19:25:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from ccslinux.dlsu.edu.ph (humprey@linux1.dlsu.edu.ph [165.220.8.15]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA06036 for ; Sat, 2 Mar 1996 19:25:27 -0800 (PST) Received: (from humprey@localhost) by ccslinux.dlsu.edu.ph (8.6.12/8.6.9) id LAA02367; Sun, 3 Mar 1996 11:29:10 +0800 Date: Sun, 3 Mar 1996 11:29:10 +0800 (GMT+0800) From: "Humprey C.
