The problem is not yet fixed, but I think we are narrowing in on it. Just a quick recap: our PCI P100 machine, with Seagate drives, Panasonic CDROM on a Buslogic 946C SCSI controller, with 3C509 ethernet and 32Mb memory will not allow FreeBSD to be installed on it. The install process generally crashes with a kernel panic after a page fault, but can simply hang, particularly if the caches are turned off. > I would actually be suspecting your RAM, your cache or your motherboard > chipset. We have tried a different motherboard with and without cache without success. The RAM has not been changed (yet). > > I think it could be having problems, the disk is a Seagate Hawk ST > > 31230N, the real geometry is 3992/5/103 we have tried 1010/64/32 (DOS > > likes this) and 998/40/51 with no success. > > Which disk controller are you using?

The machine has had two different motherboards so far with different chipsets, although offhand at the moment I cannot name any of these components, the machine has gone back to our supplier to get a working configuration. I actually suspect the disk controller, because I did get a chance to install the software on a similar machine with an Adpatec PCI SCSI controller and a Conner drive of some sort and 80Mb of memory, and it installed perfectly, so I don't believe that I am doing anything stupid, and yet I continually get problems getting the disk partitions set up on the failing machine, I sometimes get a failure where the / partition fills up. But I have not gone back and re-formatted the disk after every failure, so it may be seeing some previous data. Regardless, we now know a few more things to try in order to get this machine going, but I thought I should let you know why I have not reported back before now.

This is the right place to ask, but the answer is, no, FreeBSD only supports the Intel processors at the minimum 386 level, and above. I've not heard of any effort to move it to 8088, or 80286, for that matter.

I have to click on the window to have a right scroller appear. > > FREEBSD 2.1 >From other discussions, this seems to be a difference in the atomicity of writes on POSIX domain (UNIX domain) sockets between BSD and Linux. In particular, it looks like Linux does not combine multiple writes by the server so that the client's read gets more than one event at at a time. It seems the rewrite of XtMainAppLoop() in the Xt toolkit (upon which Motif is based) jumps directly into select instead of doing an XPending() and causes events to be lost. Specifically, expose events for the just realized child window for the scrollbar widget. This is, in fact, a bug in the way Netscape's main event loop was programmed. The fix *should* be to not agregate writes on the UNIX domain socket, so that the reader sees each write using a seperate read. Alternately, you could block writes until the buffer is read by the reader, which will serialize them and, again, prevent agregation (this will incidently make Larry McVoy's pipe benchmark go faster while reducing overall pipe throughput by increasing system call overhead for the same amount of pipe data). That is, intentionally break the BSD pipe code, one way or another. Yes, I know this is bogus as hell.

This leak is documented in the TODO file shipped with the Mirror-2.4 distribution and is described as follows: >Track down severe memory leak on processing ftp'dir_open -> get_remote_dir.. >that doesn't seem to be there if local_file -> get_remote_dir.. Presumably, there is a clue in how to configure Mirror buried in this problem description, but I haven't hit upon yet, and have been fairly well stymied in my attempts to use Mirror. I assume that others have resolved this problem, as everyone says to use Mirror for doing mirrors. Can anyone help me out? I would sure appreciate it.

Go to your hoe directory, then type rm ./-i and that should get rid of it.

You could try to see if your CD-ROM is a Sony, Mitsumi, or Matsushita/Panasonic compatible type. If it is, then there are drivers for that - take a look at the LINT file in /sys/i386/conf for the exact name for them. My CD-ROM is a CD200 model, and I don't think it's supported by FreeBSD, so I probably will have to be contented with not having one for the moment. - Humprey - From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 3 22:50:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA07837 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Mar 1996 22:50:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA07832 for ; Sun, 3 Mar 1996 22:50:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) id RAA12106; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 17:24:44 +1030 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199603040654.RAA12106@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: FreeBSD / samba transfer rate problem To: clary@s4.elec.uq.edu.au (Clary Harridge) Date: Mon, 4 Mar 1996 17:24:44 +1030 (CST) Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199603040524.PAA19425@s4.elec.uq.edu.au> from "Clary Harridge" at Mar 4, 96 03:24:37 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Clary Harridge stands accused of saying: > > we are finding that when we do ftp transfers between a samba client > running WfWg and a FreeBSD samba server You don't say anything about your hardware or which FTP client software you're using.

I wanted to dedicate disk #2 to FreeBSD 2.1 (Disk #1 contained : MSDOS "Slice" 300 MB, a NETBSD slice and a free = slice, I don=B4t know the sizes of the netbsd and free slices). Now, in the dialog to create a partitions in slices, there=B4s not enough room to hold all i got with the "A"-command, so i decided to delete all partitions on sd0 (=3D=3DDisk #1). Unfortunatley this seems to wreck the disklabel on sd0 for the netbsd slice. Also it wrecked the MBR for sd0 since it seems to be problem with geometry translation. FreeBSD installed fine, but after rebooting when i was asked for what i want to = run (F?) only F5 for disk2, which is FreeBSD, worked. Using Norton Utilities is found that the MBR on disk #1 was messy (size = of partitions still ok, but Cylinder/Sector numbers for Start+End was wrong). I managed to get MSDOS working again. But no way to set up the Netbsd and free partitions correctly again (since i don=B4t know the size of them exactly). I found the disklabel of the (old) Netbsd slice = using Norton Utilities right after the end of the MSDOS partition. But i = don=B4t know enough to interpret whats in there. I=B4m pretty sure that the installtion only messed up this disklabel (does = it write any bootcode?), so, hopefully, the superblocks and filesystems = from netbsd are still ok. Actually i could live with getting the data = off the /usr and /home filesystems (Yes, i know i should have done a = backup). Does anybody have an idea to get it back ? Problem 2: Sometimes, like 3 out of 4, when i "halt" or "shutdown -h now" FreeBSD = 2.1 the systems hangs before or after printing "Rebooting". It makes it = always up to "syncing disks...". When this happens i must press reset to = reboot the computer, and i comes up with "CMOS checksum incorrect". So i do load the defaults and modify them as needed (new date/time etc.) The system then comes up fine and is running ok, til next shutdown or = halt. I=B4m stilling running the kernel that i got from the installation, may this be a problem ? Any ideas ? Since i don=B4t have access to news very often, would you please reply by email ?

The best results are (of course) when using LANG together with swedish.iso. Then our national characters are at least the same in vi as on the commandline and no hexcodes. But they are Greek alphabet instead of Swedish. Rather useless. Therefore my little vi-hack. But if there is a better way, like this, that works, I'd be very happy to hear about it.

I am able to establish the ppp connection and utilize services on the FreeBSD gateway, however I am unable to access the services provided through the ISP on any of the LAN clients. The LAN clients can utilize services provided directly by the FreeBSD gateway (i.e. I have httpd running and am able to access the local web pages, I am able to telnet to the machine, and am able to use lpd to provide print services to the LAN). I have read the available online documentation and have followed the directions to the best of my knowledge. Any insight anyone can provide on what I am not doing, or am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. My server/gateway is a FreeBSD 2.1. The hosts file contains the following: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost 198.132.98.3 EDSChina EDSChina.com 198.132.98.4 PrintServer PrintServer.EDSChina.com 198.132.98.10 vds 202.96.0.133 ns ns.bta.net.cn 202.96.0.104 comserv comserv.bta.net.cn 202.96.0.97 public public.bta.net.cn The resolv.conf contains the following: nameserver 202.96.0.133 With a ppp connection established the output from netstat -r follows: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default public UGc 3 149 ppp0 localhost localhost UH 0 9 lo0 198.132.98 link#2 UC 1 0 EDSChina 0:80:c8:c:10:ae UHLW 0 6 lo0 vds 0:80:c8:c:51:27 UHLW 4 3019 de0 908 public ts1-25.bta.net.cn UH 4 12 ppp0 BASE-ADDRESS.MCA link#2 UCS 0 0 I have ip forwarding enabled (server is acting as a gateway).

I have attempted different combinations with the resolv.conf file but the outcome has remained the same. When I execute traceroute from the OS/2 system using an IP address, it forwards the address to the FreeBSD server, but does not seem to forward it beyond that point (i.e. following two lines of echos from the FreeBSD server, the remaining hops are all '*'). 0 EDSChina.com (198.132.98.3) 0 ms 0 ms 0 ms 1 EDSChina.com (198.132.98.3) 0 ms 0 ms 0 ms 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * * * I have attempted to increase both the hop count (ttl) and the wait time during traceroute, but still receive the same results. Again, any insight would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy to provide any additional information that might be helpful in the resolution of this problem. Thanks in advance for your time and any assistance you might provide.

Originally 70ns, but changing to 60ns has allowed the software to install (at the premises of our supplier) I am told that this may be de-rigeur for P100 systems, so it might be an idea to add it to the hardware notes on the FreeBSD web site.

Incidently, this is fixed in -current. I think the problem was something to do with signal masking, but I am not certain. I am tempted to back out all my changes one at a time on my copy and see which one was the critical fix. It was *not* pipe related, I am very sure of that. :-) I *think* it was signal masking, or select(), or a missing return value from some signal syscalls, but I have not eliminated the possibilities. In any case, the linux Netscape-2.0 is working fine on -current with the existing socket and pipe code, and ELF support is likely to be finished some time in the next week.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Greetings all. After a long time of putting it off, I set out over the weekend to convert my at-home Linux machine to a real OS(ahem). The only problem is, for some reason FreeBSD can't seem to find my secondary IDE controller (on which is a hard drive dedicated to Linux/to-be-FreeBSD). FreeBSD is looking for it in the right place, too. It's on port 0x170, IRQ 15, according to Win95. I really want to install FreeBSD on this machine, but am a bit scared as I really need the space on that hard drive, to install X, etc. etc. I'm also wondering why it is that it sees my primary IDE controller, but not my secondary. Does FreeBSD use BIOS for these things? My AMI WinBIOS has from the start always denied the existence of my secondary controller (i.e. I can configure it, but it won't admit it's there, gives an error). Any ideas for me? I'd greatly appreciate a clue on this one. Please reply to the mailing list and also CC: a copy of it to my personal e-mail as I'm a bit busy these days and that will ensure I see it.

Now we're having problems with another one which is acting as gateway only. The problem: the computer freezes and only a cold restart brings it up again, sometimes we need two or more cold restarts because it hangs during daemon inntializations (randomly). Someone from IBM sugested: 1) Changing the Ether cards to upper/down slots 2) Changing the motherboard :-/ Due the messages: Mar 4 13:16:54 styx /kernel: ed1: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 54671 Mar 4 13:23:19 styx /kernel: ed1: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 54671 I'm running 2.1.0-R on it, it has 16M ram, a WD Caviar and two NE2000 ISA clones. This computer used to have 60-70 days uptimes (with 1.1.5,2.0.5 and no problems with 2.1.0) before we added the second Ethernet. We believe it is a hardware problem because the other two computer have a heavy load and have no problems, but we would like to diagnose it before we go to a new motherboard/computer. Question: what would be the best way to find out what is hanging the machine?

No one who wants a driver and has a test bed has so far been willing to write the necessary code. Those who do have test beds are trying to get rid of token ring at their site and don't need yet another instance of a legacy system. > b) is there support for novell disks (over the same token ring) Do you mean mounting the disks as local file systems? No, this is not supported; it is unlikely to be supported, since the NetWare FS relies on having a lot of crap in memory for trustee (~1M of RAM per 100M of disk) and directory hash and other calculation. It has no concept of cache locality. Do you mean FreeBSD as a client? There is a Linux client FS on the Samba FS site. Because of the difference in authentication model between UNIX systems (user authenticates, many users possible) and NetWare (connection authenticates; one connection per machine), it is difficult to resolve the multiple user question. When I was at Novell, it took us ~18 man years to resolve the problem (6 engineers over 3 years) and it was never resolved satisfactorily. The Linux SMBFS and NetWare Client FS are both unsatisfactory. Do you mean FreeBSD as a server? Contact "Puzzle Systems"; they sell source code and precompiled servers for a lot of platforms; you could ask for a port, or use an x86 UNIX version under an ABI (this would probably require work on the ABI). Note that the "login" and "slist" and "nlist" programs are all part of the server distribution from Novell, so Puzzle can't provide these. You have to have at least one *real* NetWare server to have legal copies of these programs. Note also that the Puzzle code does not support NDS; it can only handle bindery requests (so it's a 3.x server, not a 4.x), and as such, it can not be used in a pure 4.x installation -- so SAP traffic is still a real problem. > c) what's the latest on WINE (is it stable? what can be run on it?) You should read the WINE FAQ. Look for it at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/ WINE still can't run most code, and still reports false statistics for interface coverage by using (N/(N+1)) to get the percentage of covered interfaces (ie: it always counts only one failure for N successes, since it stops after the first failure). TWIN (the program from Willows) is reported to be sufficiently ported to run Microsoft Excel and most other Windows programs, so you should probably use that instead until WINE improves.

Quick instructinos for linux compat: 1. Install /ports/emulation/linux. 2. Add options "LINUX_COMPAT" options "COMPAT_LINUX" to your kernel config. 3. Rebuild kernel. 4.

This is a very common question on both News and on the mailing lists. Is there anyway we could re-word this or even remove it if it's informational only.

And that configuration would be? How is this going to help a user of the system vs. the developer? A developer can add this log message to his system, while a user is only confused by it which causes more questions for the developer, thus the developer gets less work done. :) Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 4 11:35:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA21851 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 11:35:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from border.com (ns.borderware.com [199.71.190.98]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA21846 for ; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 11:35:36 -0800 (PST) Received: by janus.border.com id <20483-2>; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 14:45:40 -0500 Date: Mon, 4 Mar 1996 14:35:15 -0500 From: Jerry Kendall To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Any Freebsd hackers in the Toronto area ??

X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Recently I have been getting a Missing FIle System error after installing FreeBSD to a second harddrive(1.2GB). I got several responses one of which follows: "The basic problem is that the 'normal' PC BIOS can't get beyond the first 500M of an IDE disk. The BIOS has to be used to load the FreeBSD kernel, and the kernel could be anywhere on the root filesyste, the whole root filesystem has to be below the 500M mark. Normally this means that you want at least the first 40-50M of the FreeBSD partition below the 500M mark. That sort of depends, and this is why almost every serious PC Unix person will _always_ recommend SCSI from the start. (SCSI has none of these problems) Let's look at how you're currently set up : You have two IDE disks, the first of which is full. The second is much larger, and you want to put FreeBSD on some of it. If you can get away with repartitioning it, the best solution is to do that, and put FreeBSD at the beginning of the disk. DO NOT INSTALL THE BOOT MANAGER IN THIS SITUATION. There's a bug in the 2.1 installer that will overwrite the partition information on the first disk, which can be a Real Nuisance. Instead, put 'bootinst.exe' and 'boot.bin' out of the 'tools' directory on a floppy and run it (boot from your harddisk). Install the bootmanager on _both_ disks. I presume that you have something like DiskManager installed for accessing the large disk under DOS; make sure this is installed and configured, and then use DOS' fdisk to allocate the remainder of the second disk for DOS usage." I have since followed the instructions and reinstalled freeBSD but I still have problems. 1) within the freebsd installation program : If I create a partition at the very beginning of the drive I get an error that it doesn't start at the beginning of a sector or something like that, then it tells me it can't access my swap file. If I put a small DOS partition (say 10MB) at the beginning of the drive, I don't get these errors. FreeBSD installs (on a 600MB partition I created - I didn't use the "set bootable option, though I have tried doing that) and then I configure a couple of things and reboot. I told it NOT to install the boot manager. Then when I reboot it shows my POST test screen then goes to boot. It outputs a number something like 99054234 and then just stops. If I boot DOS off of a floppy, then run FDISK I see that C:\ is not active. After setting it active I installed the boot manager off of a floppy and told it to install to both hard drives. Then when I reboot I get the prompt: F1 DOS F5 DISK2 If I hit F5 I get the same Missing File System error that I have been getiing for a while now. Some other info that may help. I am running Ontrack Disk Manager by Western Digital, Version 6.03C. Its documentation tells me that in order to run UNIX I can't use the disk management software. It tells me to enter my CMOS setup and define the size of the drive as 1024 cyls., 16 heads, 63 sects. I can't change any of that in my CMOS setup though. I have a non translating BIOS. If I got another Disk Manager would I be able to install? Do you know where I can get one? Do I need a new BIOS or CMOS? (by the way, what is a CMOS?)

Despite recent gains, Apple Mac ROMs are predominantly not currently reentrant. That is, the ROM-based drivers and interfaces are ill-suited to use in a preemptively multitasking OS, since a resource block will result in a spin in a ROM routine rather than scheduling a wakeup and context switching to another process. Note also that only the 68k version of MachTen support memory protection in hardware. These (and other) reasons are why those of us who are interested in non-Intel commodity hardware keep screaming at Apple to document their hardware. Realize that the recent Linux announcement for Apple PowerMac is based on a Linux Single Server for OSF Mach, not a native Linux port of the drivers. Note further that there is not an intent to release OSF Mach sources, only the Linux Single Server sources -- so the hardware will remain undocumented. The *is* another non-OSF Mach port in progress, but it is far from complete. This port *will* document the hardware. By the time this happens, I suspect that the Apple hardware it documents will no longer be "interesting" (just like the Linux and NetBSD Mac 68k ports document the 68k Mac hardware, but few people actually care, and no one buys a new 68k Mac just to run the code). All in all, the Motorolla hardware is more interesting anyway. Regards, Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Yeah. Unfortunatly, I disagree. Harvest Cache needs one small thing (that I haven't had the time to even peek at implimenting here. :-) to kill off cern: The ability to handle conditional gets for if-modified-since (and to *use* them). As it was, we tried it out with some of our customers, and it nullifies the effects of their local on-disk cache, actually increasing the bandwidth used between us and the customer. On the other hand, in a *very* small alpha test, we were getting a surprisingly high cache hit rate. Once the if-modified-since support is implimented, I'll agree completely with you. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

He has a serial mouse that the DOS world can find on COM1 but when be loads BSD, even though the sio0-sio3 ports are enabled at the various addresses (sio0 has a irq4, sio2 is irq5 etc), at time of bootup, there are no messages that say something like port sio1 at 0X3f8 irq4 on isa or something. No such messages apparently show up for any of the sio devices but the lpt0 etc are all configured properly. As a result, when he tries to start XFree, gets a message that mouse not configured even though at Xfree set up, he specifies /dev/cuaa. He would like to find out what he is doing wrong and how he can get BSD to recognise sio while probing the devices. He would really appreciate a quick response. Please send email to this address.

Um, more accurately, it's required for some P100 systems. It's kinda hard to tell without trying, and it goes beyond mere speed. For example, the Soyo boards we're using here are Triton-based, and you would expect them to require 60ns DRAMs. However, they work fine with 70ns Panasonic DRAMs, but not with Motorola or Mitsubishi 70ns parts.

I would hope that your supplier is willing to swap the Bt946C for an NCR- -based SCSI controller. The 946 may give you grief, and the NCR is both cheaper and better supported.

This is a Full Duplex card which connects, via UTP, to a Kalpana Etherswitch running in full duplex mode. Transfer rates are of the order of 10 Kbyte/sec. I would expect it to be at least 450 Kbyte/sec, as I can achieve that with a 16 bit ISA bus SMC 8013EPC. Has anyone used the SMC EtherPower successfully together with the `de' device driver (for the Digital Equipment DC21040)? Is the `de' device driver capable of driving the SMC EtherPower in full duplex mode? The samba file server is a pentium running FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE.

Well, you need to make a route to your ISP. route add default I think, if that doesn't work try putting your end of the ppp link (the assigned IP address) in for his address.

Seems I should change it to have fewer than 1024 cylenders. Okay, I make it 515/128/32. I do this for both drives, as I'm putting the swap partition for BSD on the second hard drive. Installation completes without another hitch, I install the Boot Manager only on HD 0, having made root bootable. Upon reboot (when installation completes) I get the F1, F2 menu, and I press F1 and nothing. :( It prints the menu over and over, but will not boot. I have tried reinstalling many, many times, with various Geometries. Nothing seems to work. I also tried installing no boot manager, and went with a standard MBR, I get "missing operating system" BSD Guru's, please help!!! This has been going on for days and I'm getting frustrated!

Couple more questions. 1. If 48meg is not enough, will 70 meg do for a decent installation to use X11,C++ compiler. I will not be using any networking software or internet access. That has to wait until I get a second disk drive. Also I will be the only user(a Newbie to unix). 2. Does FreeBSD support any parallel port (printer port) tape drive like Hp-Colorado 1000e? Any help will be appriciated. Thanks. Chetty.

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 Mon Mar 4 22:58:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA18705 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 22:58:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from mercury.kdd.co.jp (mercury.kdd.co.jp [202.32.122.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA18692 for ; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 22:58:48 -0800 (PST) From: ko-baba@kdd.co.jp Received: by mercury.kdd.co.jp; id AA16463; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 15:58:12 +0900 Received: from em02sjk.kdd.co.jp by inethome.kdd.co.jp; (5.65/1.1.8.2/13Apr95-0252PM) id AA31085; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 15:58:11 +0900 Received: by em02sjk (1.38.193.5/16.2) id AA00297; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 15:58:09 +0900 Received: from by em02sjk with SMTP (1.38.193.5/16.2) id AA00292; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 15:58:08 +0900 X-Openmail-Hops: 1 Date: Tue, 5 Mar 96 15:57:35 +0900 Message-Id: Subject: Xircom Pocket ether adapter To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Please tell me.

Installing the base system only -- this should fit . Remove all parts you don't need, this will be an immense amount of work. I have no idea how much you might gain by killing all network-related stuff. It is part of the base distribution (hey, you don't have to buy it as an additional package -- so that's the price, you always get it). . Manually install the base parts of X11. I've been using a 120 MB disk once in my notebook, and a hand-fiddled installation contained: . the base system . the `development' system, including all header files and shared libs (static libs removed manually) . the `catted' man pages, including the development system . a useable X11 subsystem, again including header files, shared libs, and cat man pages . emacs :), though only .elc files where both .el and .elc were available . kernel source, including one set of object files . 12 MB of swap . 5 MB of free space > 2.

So -> don't use the -q option, and type: ls -l | cat -tv (the output won't go to terminal, so -q won't be in the option list, and cat -tv print non-graphics characters as ^X).

These comments go with the following caveats: - I did mine on a DeskJet 540; only playing with text output right now. - Mine worked on the first try, but that's because I played with the awk script on a text file to verify the output was what I wanted. Here's something I posted 17 Jan; based on the problem described, it should fix the problem. Look carefully at the part that describes the input filter (some of 2 and all of 3) and ignore the stuff you already know. That said, here goes... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Make sure irq 7 isn't used by anything else, or use lptcontrol to set the mode to polled. Without reconfig'ng the kernel, polled is much preferrable. 2. Create a simple /etc/printcap as follows; mine's for an HP 540 inkjet (parenthetical comments for reference ONLY): # lp|HP Deskjet 540:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ (output device) :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ (spool directory) :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ (log file) :if=/usr/local/libexec/if_dj_540:\ (input filter, see comments) :tr=\f:\ (trailing string, " ) :sh:\ (suppress banner) :mx#0: (unlimited job size) The input filter (if) could be anywhere; this one just adds CR to the normal LF sequence of unix: without it, most printers will just stair-step the output, and page printers (lasers/inkjets) will truncate the line. The trailer (tr) is used when the queue empties. I found that the form feed (\f) was basically required for the HP to print properly. 3. Make an input filter similar to the following: # if_dj540 simple parlor trick to add CR to LF for printer # awk '{printf "%s\r\n", $0}' - For those of you that don't see quite what this does: every line of standard input is printed with CRLF attached. There are certainly more elegant ways of doing it, but this one avoids the approach of reprogramming the printer to append CR to LF, then having to undo it at the end of every job (unless you dedicate your printer to FreeBSD 8) ). 4. Just lpr and you should be there... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another comment on 3: because printf() is used instead of print(), you get full control over what you add to the line ($0). cheers, larry | On Mon, 4 Mar 1996, Michael J Vukovich wrote: | | > | > | > We have been trying to set up a HP Laserjet | > 4M Plus to print under FreeBSD.

Yes; it is an 8 bit parallel "null-modem cable". The LapLink interface is described in detail in documentation files that accompany DOS 6.x and above. There is also PL/IP, a standard for making IP connections using the parallel port (which is what the install expects).

We should identify the Mach cards, or we should relax the invasiveness of the SIO probe code to prevent the problem. Either will fix the problem without screwing those of us who have a com4 and have avoided buying Mach hardware because of this bug in the Mach chips. Someone should contact Mach, if they are thinking about it (since I don't have a Mach, it's not my problem. 8-)).

Let me state it differently. At least on the install floppy, it shouldn't matter much if there is no probe at 0x2e8. And this can avoid people with Mach cards give up because they don't see the screen anymore. As for people with com4: it's just a matter of booting with -c to set their parameters properly. It's very likely they have to do it in any case (perhaps for other special devices, or because the IRQ does not match, or whatever). Anyways, I am ok, now that I know the trick. But somebody does not have a second system to build a custom kernel.

You mean like this: revision 1.123 date: 1995/11/29 15:00:07; author: bde; state: Exp; lines: +5 -10 Removed builtin list of port addresses. The address for sio3 conflicted with S3 graphics cards. Now users should put sio[2-3] in the config file if the hardware exisst, even if the probe is certain to fail due to an interrupt conflict. Otherwise, ports sharing the interrupt may fail the probe if the system is warm booted while sio[2-3] are active (perhaps under another OS). The same problem for nonstandard ports is now handled better than before. Thanks Bruce!! (Any chance of this code going into -stable though...)

I have no idea how much you might gain by killing all I haven't killed the network stuff, but I got a system (w/out X) tweaked down a bit to run on an 80mb drive. After I started nuking things, I realized it would be a good idea to keep a list of what I deleted so I could re-create the system when I chose. It's a partial list, but it should get you started. It leaves the networking stuff in -- I'm using it as a router -- and there's probably a bunch o' stuff I deleted without putting in there, but you're welcome to it as a starting point. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

The errors you are receiving would be quite helpful, as well as what method you are using to install, and other machine details.

I wouldn't expect much performance benefit, and multi-processor is currently of no value for me (I hate multi-threaded programs ;-) Regards, STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 5 13:44:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA27613 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 13:44:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from tellab5.lisle.tellabs.com (tellab5.lisle.tellabs.com [138.111.243.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA27592 Tue, 5 Mar 1996 13:44:42 -0800 (PST) From: mikebo@tellabs.com Received: from sunc210.tellabs.com by tellab5.lisle.tellabs.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #4) id m0tu4Wh-000jGLC; Tue, 5 Mar 96 15:44 CST Received: by sunc210.tellabs.com (SMI-8.6/1.9) id PAA02531; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 15:44:06 -0600 Message-Id: <199603052144.PAA02531@sunc210.tellabs.com> Subject: Re: Triton-II support... when?

I've been told that Triton-II: o fixes a write-back cache bug o nominally speeds all memory accesses ~5% o adds support for concurrent PCI/ISA bus accesses o adds support for multi-processing o adds support for ECC memory Seems like a *lot* more functionality than can be accounted for by a simple bug fix, no? Perhaps Terry means Triton-II implements a superset of Triton-I functionality (plus the cache bug fix) so there's no reason existing kernel code would break? That's great...

I have just purchased a soundblaster system with a quad speed CD drive. I have an IDE hardrive that I have partitioned 350M for DOS and 650 for FreeBSD. I cannot get the unix kernel that is created from the CD in DOS to recognize the CD when I try to install it using config. I have tried every port address and IRQ that the soundblaster documentation gives. The CD light won't even come on. It is not being recognized at all. I think that the drivers built into the startup floppy boot don't communicate with the hardware for ny CD. Is there a way, I can get this new CD to work? I have even tried to copy some of the software onto my C: drive and install from that. But, it says that I'm missing some files. I don't have enough room to copy the whole CD. I only have about 100M for this in that partition. Please help!!!

What started happening is that whenever any other host ( even on the same ethernet ) tried to finger our host, they would'nt get any results back, they would just get a blank line even if users were logged on. No settings in inetd.conf were changed. ie. we are running fingerd without any switches ( no -s secure mode ). It just all of sudden started happening. What I've also noticed is that when someone tries to finger, we get the following message on our console: fingerd[23456]: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable When I finger the host when I'm directly logged onto it, it works OK. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what the problem is?

Currently, I am using ms-dos ver. 6.2 with win 3.1... I read thru some of your docs on how to install the program and such, but it confuses me! I know a bit about unix, so, some of it was familiar, but not all... the only thing I could figure out how to do was to download two exe files.. one for a setup disk, and one to partition my hd? that's another problem. I have two hard disks.. my first (drive c) is 131 megs, with 80 megs free, and my second is a 730 meg, that has to have a driver loaded into mem for it to work. what I would LIKE to possibly be able to do is to put BSD on my d drive.. how could I do that? last time I did something like that (installing mini linux on my d drive) the drive crashed and I had to format? could you help me out? thanks.. also, if I install it, can I have a sort of dual boot feature so I can still use dos and win 3.1? thanks.. could you reply asap? and I can't figure out how download the program itself!

"dump" and "restore" come to mind. But so does the entry at the bottom of one of the install menus that says, "Load configuration floppy" or some such. Just how might one create this configuration floppy? It hints at the ability to save an installation's parameters for future reuse.

I could put this to very good use if it was available for FreeBSD. For those that don't know NCPFS is a program that lets linux machines mount Novell Netware server volumes, print to Netware print queues and spool netware print queues to the Linux printing system. The latest versions of this utility also let you export these mounted Netware Volumes as NFS filesystems.

You will need to install as a pure BSD system (ie: you can not share the drive). Alternately, you can rejumper the drive to turn off the translation and sector sparing (J8 and J14, if I remember correctly) and then reformat it using the WD1007 formatting tool from ftp.wdc.com. Then you can reinstall BSD and whatever other OS you need to. Note that you will need to divide the disk area for disks larger than 1024 cylinders, since Bad144 during boot will only be able to access replacement sectors if it believes the end of the BSD boot partition is less than cylinder 1024. This is part of the continuing silly placement of the replacement sectors used by the Bad144 algorithm; otherwise, you would just need to be sure slice 'a' ("/") and slice 'b' ("swap") were below cylinder 1024, and the limitation wouldn't impact the other slices (like "/usr").

A better analogy would be the FIFO'ed floppy controllers: the driver doesn't use the FIFO, but that doesn't mean the driver doesn't work. Or VGA cards for standard resoloutions. I don't think there will be a problem. The *one* potential area for trouble is if the chip ID is different and is used to gate behaviour, in which case, you will need to dup a line in the PCI bus interface data and rebuild a kernel.

There is no way around it. The bus' speed changes things a lot. An ethernet has a bandwidth of 1MB/s. I agree that on the ISA bus you are likely to move data at 2MB/s or so, thus the CPU overhead is 50% just for getting data from the board. But moving data on VLB or PCI bus with programmed I/O is much faster (possibly limited by the on-board memory speed, but many boards use 25ns or so SRAMS). On the VLB I have measured at least 10MB/s, on the PCI I expect the number to be higher, possibly around 20MB/s. Thus the CPU overhead is at most 5% per card, assuming you consume the whole bandwidth of the net segment. This is something that I can afford, except perhaps for a multiport high speed router.

These controllers are typically on things that don't have INT 13 BIOS ROMs and so are not usable as boot devices (since BIOS POST uses INT 13 to load the master boot record or "MBR"). Most likely, the motherboard you have has an INT 13 BIOS capable of driving this controller (only choice if it's the only controller and the thing is capable of booting DOS at all). I suspect that one of three things is going wrong: 1) You have the IRQ, I/O, or base address wrong on the card; it doesn't match the kernel. This is likely because the default boot device is usually on IRQ 13 or 14, and the controller is searched as if it were an auillary controller, not a primary device. If you know all the controller settings for the 1520h on the board, then you can boot FreeBSD "-c" and set up the driver settings to make the controller happy. Be sure and disable other disk controllers, since there may also be a probe conflict (as before, this is not a typical boot device, so its health was not a consideration in writing the probe code for controllers that *are* typical). 2) The boot sequence loads a BIOS image or otherwise uses a memory area for the controller that the BSD boot bloack loads on top of, destroying the BIOS's ability to talk to the controller before it gets the kernel all the way in If this is happening, you would have to hack the first and second stage boots and the BSD load address (ie: you would need an already working controller and system on which to build releases to retry them). 3) The probe code does not expect the controller to be active (after all, it isn't a traditional bootable device), and so the probe code fails to find the controller, even though all of the criteria in #1 (above) have been met correctly. If this is the case, you will need to install an alternate controller in the system and modify the probe until it works; this will be a messy process and will require programming information about the controller and motherboard.

As I just said in reply to Garret's message, it might be a 5-10% CPU overhead, which is perfectly tolerable for a board which costs perhaps half as much. Not to mention the fact that in some countries some pieces of hardware are simply not available. On this list there are often strong statements against certain pieces of hardware just because they don't have top performance, totally ignoring the price factor and some technical issues. IMHO, this is a bad thing, because people believes them blindly, often ending up buying SCSI disks (because "IDE sucks"), with cheap ISA-based SCSI controllers, or, worse, ISA SCSI controller with an on-board 4MB used as a cache (so that often they end up doing programmed I/O to read from the controller's cache!) ---- About IDE drives: I agree that they might not be the best approach to fast file I/O, but this is what I get on a P133/32MB ram with a WDC AC21000H 1GB IDE disk: diani: {21} iozone 128 8192 Writing the 128 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...32.101562 seconds Reading the file...30.429688 seconds IOZONE performance measurements: 4181034 bytes/second for writing the file 4410749 bytes/second for reading the file Sure, probably the system is more loaded than a SCSI thing: Cpu states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 33.9% system, 38.5% interrupt, 27.2% idle Memory: 13M Act 1748K Inact 2032K Wired 80K Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 589 root -6 0 240K 548K sleep 0:02 53.23% 11.79% iozone but the savings on the SCSI stuff almost get me 16MB RAM.

I could put this to very good use if it was available > for FreeBSD. I have no immediate plans. The problems I see is that each user must authenticate individually to the Novell server, or there is no way to enforce intra-system security on a commonly mounted NetWare file system. Novell solved this (I was involved in the code review) by having the ability to pop up an authentication requester as a result of a kernel event. This made a lot of assumptions about how the system was being used; in particular, it assumed the user was on the console. It also required integration of the NDS authentication mechanism into the UNIX login facility so as to cause the credentials to be the same per process. Basically, NetWare servers store credentials on a per connection basis, not a per session basis, so it is impossible to have one connection and multiple sessions with different credentials on the NetWare server. Without the NDS hooks, it is impossible to proxy UNIX credentials into uniqueNetWare credentials per UNIX user on a single UNIX machine. That is, if Bob mounts /NetWare and can write there, then using the NCPFS implementation in Linux, Biff can do the same thing, even if Biff is not an allowed NetWare user. This is exactly the same massive security problem that the SMBFS LANManager clinet FS poses. It's acceptable only if you limit the allowable users on the system to exactly *one* user coming in through an authentication via login... that is, specifically limit the usability of the system as a desktop FS. I have been toying with several ideas to "fix" this, but they all require reengineering the mount code (going radically further in the direction I've already headed there) and utilizing POSIX "//x/" semantics on a formal seperation of hierarchy from mount point assignment. This is, of course, possible, given some other pieces I haven't talked about yet for credential callback, but it is far from simple. If you are willing to accept the security risks, feel free to do the port. > For those that don't know NCPFS is a program that > lets linux machines mount Novell Netware server volumes, print to > Netware print queues and spool netware print queues to the Linux > printing system. The print services, at a bare minimum, are a useful utiliy and should be ported.

This is just plain bad. It takes no notice of the coherency problems cause by cache interaction on the two systems. This is *precisely* why there needs to be a mechanism to desinate local vs. remote in FS type flag bits (and there *is* such a mechanism) and is *precisely* why we do not allow reexport of NFS file system that have been NFS mounted from another host.

My strong comments about hardware are *always* motivated by technical issues, with performance being second, and price being third. It's possible to pick other selection criteria ordering for price/performance, but it my book, it's whether or not it will work that is the most important issue. > IMHO, this is a bad thing, because people believes them blindly, > often ending up buying SCSI disks (because "IDE sucks"), with cheap > ISA-based SCSI controllers, or, worse, ISA SCSI controller with an > on-board 4MB used as a cache (so that often they end up doing > programmed I/O to read from the controller's cache!) This is a performance issue -- like our discussion of the NE2000 clones. SCSI is better than IDE for technical reasons. If your primary concern isn't technical, then be prepared to sweat out your install with a "high performance but technically abyssmal" machine. At the very worst, be prepared to use a a low performance, but technically useful machine to help you sweat out your problems. It is no cooincidence that the boot blocks do not support LBA, and that IDE has problems that haven't been scrupulously worked around, like on other OS's, or that ATAPI IDE CDROM's don't work well for drives that are "barely out of spec". It's no coincidence that for the only systems where Bad144 is useful, the replacement sectors are (more often than not) past the 1024 cylinder boundry, making large areas of the disk unusable. Like every WD1007 disk (and where besides ESDI or MFM is Bad144 useful????). If you want to use crud hardware, you have to prepared baby it. As to the performance issues, well, *after* the technical issues are solved, then you have the leisure to diddle around with tradeoffs between price and performance. It just seemed to me that "Programmed I/O on the PCI bus should not be slow at all" was a *very* subjective statement, and was entirely too relative for me to not call you on it. 8-). > About IDE drives: I agree that they might not be the best approach > to fast file I/O, but this is what I get on a P133/32MB ram with > a WDC AC21000H 1GB IDE disk: > > diani: {21} iozone 128 8192 > Writing the 128 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...32.101562 seconds > Reading the file...30.429688 seconds > > IOZONE performance measurements: > 4181034 bytes/second for writing the file > 4410749 bytes/second for reading the file > > Sure, probably the system is more loaded than a SCSI thing: > > Cpu states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 33.9% system, 38.5% interrupt, 27.2% idle > Memory: 13M Act 1748K Inact 2032K Wired 80K Free > > PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND > 589 root -6 0 240K 548K sleep 0:02 53.23% 11.79% iozone > > but the savings on the SCSI stuff almost get me 16MB RAM.

It is expected that you will buy an IDE controller that does its geometry handling in hardware rather than in BIOS, or that you will know how to properly pound the software into the machine despite it being the second drive and the install being buggered, or handle the use of OnTrack or some other MBR-based TSR that does LBA translation to get around the fact that IDE using standard INT 13 interfaces is limited to 512M. And it's expected that if you have to use Bad144, you have the ability to realize you need to split the drive into multiple extents so that the boot partition is entirely below the 1024 Cylinder boundry so the second stage boot can access the relocation sectors. But realize that you are an uncommon individual, and that as such, the recommendations you make will require the same efforts of less educated or less capable, or simply less *patient*, people, and that use of cruddy hardware is an easy way to get turned off about FreeBSD. It is *important*, IMO, to *first* make recommendations that cause the software to be easily usable -- technical recommendations based on driver avilability and existing software workarounds, etc. -- and THEN worry about making speed vs. budget trade-offs, once the "it works, and it works easily" constraint has been satisfied. Like you, I *do* own some bitch-to-install-but-fast-and-cheap hardware; I just don't expect "Joe Average User" to be able to get over the "bitch-to-install" barrier to entry... I expect him to say "screw this" and install Linux instead (since Linux has taken pains to work with marginal-and-below hardware). I am not going to buy *more* crappy hardware and beg/cajole/steal documentation from vendors whose first line support people don't even know what chips their hardware uses. It's just not worth it to me to own crappy hardware soley to compete with Linux in the "ability to be installed and run like a pig on crappy hardware" category.

Anyone who knows unix, knows that segmentation violations are caused by dereferencing an invalid pointer, by accessing beyond the end of your process' allocated memory, or possibly by writing over your stack and returning to an invalid address. To suggest to possibly novice users that all of their signal 11 errors are due to faulty memory is a disservice to the FreeBSD community, and may prevent users from sending otherwise valid bug reports in which involve segmentation violations. Perhaps that's why I'm experiencing a bug involving signal 11 with both version 2.05-RELEASE and 2.1-RELEASE on two different machines and the same program - no one sent in a bug report because they thought it was their memory!

The XFree people are working on a custom allocator specifically tuned to the way that X uses memory. You can build the XFree servers using the stock malloc (the current distributions), with gnumalloc (which is better) or with phkmalloc (the 'new' malloc Luigi is talking about). Either of the latter two will improve the server's behaviour. I would expect the up-and-coming custom allocator to be significantly better again. > Anthony -- ]] 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.

Generally speaking, if you get re-producible signal 11's, it's probably not memory.

The books I have are: TCP/IP Network Administration, Help for Unix System Administrators, by Craig Hunt Unix in Plain English, by Richard Johnson Teach Yourself Unix, also by Richard Johnson These books are full of good stuff, but none have much to say about actually loading the program and setting up user accounts. I had never seen unix before I got the CD. I do have experience with NT, DOS and Win(x)(95). So I think it is fair of me to say that most Unix books I have seen so far do a very poor job in this area (I previewed several others before I bought the three). I am only trying to learn at this time. I have FreeBSD on a 500 meg partition (used fips), with Win95 on the other 700 meg. For no other reason than just to learn, I used the sysinstall to create a user account. That worked great. Then, for no good reason, I changed the root user name to Kelsie. Or I thought I did. Now neither root or Kelsie will get me administrative privileges. Where did I go wrong? What do I do now? And more importantly, do you still recommend "Dummies Guide to Unix" for me? thanks!

Get these two: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/tools/rawrite.exe Use RAWRITE under MS-DOS to copy boot.flp to a newly-formatted 1.44 or 1.2 meg floppy, then reboot and wait for the Boot: prompt. Quickly type 'kernel -c' (without the quotes) and hit Enter. At the next prompt, type 'visual'. Disable the entries for any device not present in your machine and make sure that any devices remaining are correctly configured, especially your network card, which you'll need working properly. Save your changes (they'll last until you have to reboot again) and the kernel will load its drivers and then run the FreeBSD installation software. This beauty lets you repartition your disks, set up filesystems, and install the rest of the operating system from your local FreeBSD mirror site. It doesn't get any easier than this, trust me :).

Everything works now but I still have two questions and two problems. This system is running live now acting as an internet gateway between our company's LAN and our ISP using a US Robotics Courier 28800 modem on an analogue leased line. For anyone interested, I have included my ppp.conf and ppp.linkup although I'm not sure that ppp.linkup is doing anything at all. iafrica is a standard manual dial definition and pm3-ct is a dial on demand definition. What proved to be the key to getting dial on demand going with dynamic IP's was to use the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 form of address which means "I want this address, but anything with the first 24 bits the same is OK" We were using SCO sys V 3.2 etc etc and it worked perfectly except that all the tools were way too expensive and I developed a strong dislike for it, so it got chucked. However, it worked perfectly just as a router and when the leased line went down it would bring it up again. Problem 1: The user PPP on FreeBSD does not reinitialize the connection if the leased line goes down. The modem and cable are OK with CD working properly, as demonstrated by the SCO box working OK for over a year. PPP is invoked like this: ppp -auto pm3-ct from rc.local. Problem 2: Even though I have set debug, I have no ppp.log file. Question 1: Can I run the serial port reliably at 57600 under FreeBSD? I'm currently running it at 38400 to play safe. The COM port is a 16550. Question 2: If I am using a leased line modem, did I do the right thing in just removing the \\T for the phone number in the set dial command? # default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr #set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT \\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" # I modified the set dial command for the leased line modem by #removing the \\T set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" # pm3-ct: set debug chat phase lcp set phone 0,6831443 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: Pusername word: Ppassword" disable lqr deny lqr set timeout 0 # set timeout to never set ifaddr 196.3.254.241 196.7.70.129 add 0 255.255.255.0 196.7.70.129 # # iafrica: set phone 0,6831443 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: Pusername word: Ppassword" set timeout 120 # the /24 here means only 24 MSB's are significant set ifaddr 196.7.124.231/24 196.7.0.135/24 add 0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR # My ppp.linkup file: iafrica: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR # MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR Regards, Irvine Short http://www.pcm.co.za/homepage/ishort/irv_home.html Technical Support Engineer Professional Computer Manufacturers Amalgamated House, Jordaan St Cape Town, South Africa Tel: ++27-21-235084 Fax ++27-21-235089 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 6 23:58:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA16162 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Mar 1996 23:58:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from ix15.ix.netcom.com (ix15.ix.netcom.com [199.182.120.15]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA16154 for ; Wed, 6 Mar 1996 23:58:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from by ix15.ix.netcom.com (8.6.13/SMI-4.1/Netcom) id XAA23058; Wed, 6 Mar 1996 23:57:51 -0800 Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 23:57:51 -0800 Message-Id: <199603070757.XAA23058@ix15.ix.netcom.com> From: tss@ix.netcom.com (THOMAS BURNS ) Subject: Another Firewall question :-) To: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I know I'm asking a question that has been asked a million times, but where do i find information about setting up FreeBSD as a firewall / proxy server.

In addition, the Ctl-Alt-+ is not working for the recycling of the resolution. In the mean time, there are three windows in the X-window (login, xterm, and xterm) environment, but the problem is, my T-shell facilities are not working properly (i.e., aliases). And also when I click on the "exit" of the icon-menu to get out the X-window, only the icon-menu get disappeared but the system does not shut down the X-window, so the only solution is to type Ctl-Alt-BackSpace to get out the X-window. Therefore, I tried to fix the problems by having access to the extra CD-rom from vendor (Walnut Creek), but I couldn't mount it because the message says: mount: Command not found. I believe the cdrom device is not configured.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello. A year ago we invested in a number of ATI Graphics Expression PCI 2 MB DRAM, which ran flawlessly under FreeBSD and XFree 3.1.2. Half a year ago we ordered a new bunch of these cards because of the high stability, and discovered to our suprise, that the could no longer do HIGH color nor 1280x1024 under XFree 3.1.2. Well not a serious problem... Right now we have just received a new bunch of the cards which simply blanks the screen at the moment when the FreeBSD kernel has been loaded and starts probing for devices. This screen remains blank until the machine reboots. In other words, not even TEXT MODE is possible under FreeBSD with this new shipment. Has anyone experienced these problems and come up with possible solutions? I would appreciate quick responses, since we are getting seriously close to the point of no refund... The card that blanks, is the 1995 edition. The Mach64 Chip is made in Taiwan and bears the following text: "MACH64 215CT22200 \mu PD96137GD-401-LML 9547KC568" The VIDEOBIOS is fram 1995.

After 7 years of working and studying the DOS/Win/Intel combo and avoiding Unix at all cost, I think that I have come to the point where there is not much more to learn or to be challenged by. So I decided to start studying and using something that I had refused for all this time - Unix. Being kind of new at it and at very technical internetworking technologies and communications I get lost some times. That's where FreeBSD comes on scene. I've read on a document I downloaded from your site, that one can use FreeBSD, a pre-historical i386 computer and a COMM board to build a low cost router. Now this is where things get more complicated. I have built a Netware 3.11 network at the office and I need to know the following: 1 - I think I can use FreeBSD to establish a Internet server. Am I right? 2 - Can I then connect my NW3.11 network to the FreeBSD Internet Gateway so I can use it in dual mode (Internet/Intranet)? 3 - Can I use a FreeBSD system to provide dial-up access to my WWW site (multi-line, multi-modem)? Any and all help would be appreciated, as would some book tips on these subjects. Thanks for the time and attention.

It uses the same port as COM4/sio3, so what you'll want to do is disable the sio probe by booting with '-c' at the boot prompt, and then upgrade your sources to -stable which fixes this problem by removing the automagic probe of sio3 from the generic sio probe.

One book that I'd highly recommend for you is 'Essential System Administration' by Aeleen Frisch. It's in the same series of books as your TCP/IP book, but focuses on system administration instead of network administration.

The FreeBSD PPC port will run x86 code in an ABI emulation environment (that is, the user space code is emulated and the kernel space code is the same PPC kernel as for native PPC code). I haven't done any work on the Linux call gate in the PPC x86 environment. The Linux code is complicated by register passing of arguments to system calls (thank God BSD didn't go this route -- it was threatening to for a while). Basically, enough to run the x86 BSDI NetScape on a remote X server; it can't run locally because my console code goes to hell in a hand-basket. It is *extremely* fragile, to the point of being locally unusable without a seperate system on the local net; the serial ports don't work either, and there is only minimal driver support so far. I have a couple of VM problems that I can't track without a working console, and Arrow Electronics sent my PPCBug docs (that they weren't supposed to send until the sent me a FAX and I sent one back) via the wrong shipper and they ended up getting lost on the way to me. Since this was after they got dropped at the warehouse (the wrong location), I have to decide if *another* $250 is worth it to me for a set of materials I think should be up for anonymous FTP anyway. It's made worse because PPCBug will be going away in the near future (replaced by Open Firmware). It's probably more important that I be able to run AIX binaries, which I have only partial support for. It wants a lot of work on the kernel exported symbol set because of the way AIX works, which basically means starting on the LKM rewrite I've been threatening for a long time now, and putting a small linker and exported symbol space manipulation code into the kernel. I also have minimal JFS code hacks in the form of logical device export code in a hacked up devfs (so it can handle the variant coding on the disk for the PPCBug vs. Open Firmware boot, and so that the drive space agregation can be done below the JFS itself -- a requirement of JFS). Anyway, it's getting there, but it's not done yet. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

I did my computation as follows: assume the CPU has to transfer 1MB/s from the board. Say the available bandwidth on the PCI bus, doing programmed I/O, is X MB/s. Then the CPU uses 1/X of its time just to transfer that 1MB/s. For X=20, that makes 5% of the CPU time unavailable for other things. Anything wrong ? Now, the board in question has a single (it's a cheap unit!) 35ns SRAM on it, which means that it can probably supply one byte every 66ns (the closest multiple of the PCI period).

How do you install freeBSD and still keep the partitions > so that DOS/Windows 95 (and the rest of the hard drive) are still > functionable? I assume you were installing FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. Could you describe your disk configuration a bit? THere is one caveat with 2.1: When you are installing on a disk 1 it may mess your disk 0. When you want to install it on disk 0 you should fdisk disk 0 such there is enough free space for a FreeBSD partition. There is also a tool, FIPS.EXE in the CD's tools directory which allows you to shrink an existing DOS partition (this method is not guaranteed but it works in 99% of all cases). Then boot the install floppy, Express install is a good choice unless you want to do something special. Partition and Label the FreeBSD portion and go ahead installing. Not that you can remove a FreeBSD boot loader from the master boot record with the DOS FDISK/MBR command. And also note that a Win95 installation clobbers the MBR (FreeBSD primary boot sector). > --Chris Christoph P. U.

Our machine keep 'learning' bogus routes and we can't trace just where it's coming from. I'm trying now to give the system some fixed routes to overcome some problems, however the machines don't seem to also be learning arp entries, at least not all of them. Some machines are missing entries for various interfaces. I'm more worried about the portmasters right now, because if I do a net route to a portmaster that's not in the arp table, the route takes as a host instead of a net. I've made a file of fixed_arps to run with 'arp -f filename' command, but all entries for the portmasters that the system doesn't know about fail anyways. Here's what I'm seeing: bash# arp -a lan1.calweb.com (165.90.138.1) at 8:0:87:14:ac:2e calweb.calweb.com (165.90.138.3) at 8:0:69:8:8c:24 sun1.calweb.com (165.90.138.6) at 8:0:20:8:4e:b0 web1.calweb.com (165.90.138.10) at 0:0:c0:1c:f4:c6 web2.calweb.com (165.90.138.11) at 0:0:c0:18:6c:e web3.calweb.com (165.90.138.12) at 0:0:c0:de:8b:e web4.calweb.com (165.90.138.15) at 0:0:c0:63:c:9f mail.calweb.com (165.90.138.20) at 0:0:c0:1d:f4:c6 sac1.calweb.com (165.90.138.26) at 0:c0:5:1:d:25 sac2.calweb.com (165.90.138.27) at 0:c0:5:1:1e:48 ded1.calweb.com (165.90.138.28) at 0:c0:5:1:2e:f6 infosite.com (165.90.138.203) at 0:80:ad:14:b9:15 ?

Very wierd. The machines at some point learn routes of like: 165.90 and 165.90.138 Usually ether to the #link address or to a portmaster. Though I've test various different things and can't find anything that would cause the PM to broadcast routes like that. If everything was dynamic I'd just to RIP off on the PMs, but we do have some fixed IP people that can come in under any PM that I think would case problems. ------- end ------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 7 11:36:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA02819 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 11:36:48 -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 LAA02806 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 11:36:45 -0800 (PST) Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA20060; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:36:26 -0500 Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:36:26 -0500 From: "Garrett A.

There is a 30 day money back period on the 1.2 Server... We're well aware of that. It costs *us* money to process returns, so we lose money on every returned product, such as the loss of customer good will, potential referrals, the actual sale, the unreimbursed costs of us answering the phone or email to take and process the order and the return, etc. Rather than flame us, ask our very nice Sales people what they'll do for you. We're in business for a couple of reasons, at least one of which is to make money, and we'll not do that if we severely annoy every customer :-) Further - I just approve the mailing. We try to keep down the posts, especially in the announce groups, so that they have a higher signal to noise ratio. I'm one of the few here that even knows how the approval mechanism works... Be careful to avoid shooting the messenger, please. Eventually we'll run out of them and nothing will get approved ;-) Cheers, JeremyC. -- Jeremy Chatfield +1(303)298-7478 FAX:+1(303)298-1406 email:jdc@xinside.com Commercial X Products - for more information please try: X Inside Inc, 1801 Broadway, 17th Floor, Denver, CO 80202 http://www.xinside.com/ majordomo@xinside.com ftp.xinside.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 7 12:06:03 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA04489 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:06:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail-e2a-service.gnn.com (mail-e2a-service.gnn.com [204.148.102.169]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA04482 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:05:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from www-19-60.gnn.com.

I made another boot floppy as you suggested. When the system rebooted, I changed the matcdc0 port to -1. This didn't cause the CD light to come on. When the config was finished, I tried to select the Installation media of CD and it said that I didn't have one. I also tried it with the default settings to no avail.

This message means that your computer talks to a lot of other computers, and is adjusting some network queues.

That makes a BW of > 15 MB/s, not too far from my estimate. I don't doubt you could fully utilize the bus with programmed I/O. I just doubt that I/O binding the CPU is necessary, and I think the impact on the ability of the CPU to do useful work is multiplied by the clock_differential_for_bus_access -- on a P5 133, a factor of 4. I think that on most systems, the CPU has useful work to do other than accessing the I/O bus. I intensely dislike clock multiplied chips for precisely this reason; the differential is applied to the memory as well as the I/O bus. But applying it to the I/O bus in a PIO case multiplies the effect radically. PCI is, unfortunately, pretty well pegged at 33MHz. As CPU clock and memory speed goes up, the PIO problem will only get worse.

The bandwidth I call "X" is the available bandwidth in accessing that particular device, which varies from device to device. What you call X is probably something diffetent. > I intensely dislike clock multiplied chips for precisely this reason; If you have to drive the I/O pins at 200 MHz instead of 66, then your CPU will likely consume 100W or more, provided you are able to make it work reliably and cool it down to a reasonable temperature.

I made another boot floppy as you suggested. When the system rebooted, I changed the matcdc0 port to -1. This didn't cause the CD light to come on.

Hubbard" From: Robert Du Gaue To: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Subject: routing Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 08:16:21 -0800 (PST) Could you forward to your routing gurus. We have had a terrible couple of days. Our machine keep 'learning' bogus routes and we can't trace just where it's coming from. I'm trying now to give the system some fixed routes to overcome some problems, however the machines don't seem to also be learning arp entries, at least not all of them. Some machines are missing entries for various interfaces. I'm more worried about the portmasters right now, because if I do a net route to a portmaster that's not in the arp table, the route takes as a host instead of a net. I've made a file of fixed_arps to run with 'arp -f filename' command, but all entries for the portmasters that the system doesn't know about fail anyways. Here's what I'm seeing: bash# arp -a lan1.calweb.com (165.90.138.1) at 8:0:87:14:ac:2e calweb.calweb.com (165.90.138.3) at 8:0:69:8:8c:24 sun1.calweb.com (165.90.138.6) at 8:0:20:8:4e:b0 web1.calweb.com (165.90.138.10) at 0:0:c0:1c:f4:c6 web2.calweb.com (165.90.138.11) at 0:0:c0:18:6c:e web3.calweb.com (165.90.138.12) at 0:0:c0:de:8b:e web4.calweb.com (165.90.138.15) at 0:0:c0:63:c:9f mail.calweb.com (165.90.138.20) at 0:0:c0:1d:f4:c6 sac1.calweb.com (165.90.138.26) at 0:c0:5:1:d:25 sac2.calweb.com (165.90.138.27) at 0:c0:5:1:1e:48 ded1.calweb.com (165.90.138.28) at 0:c0:5:1:2e:f6 infosite.com (165.90.138.203) at 0:80:ad:14:b9:15 ?

If everything was dynamic I'd just to RIP off on the PMs, but we do have some fixed IP people that can come in under any PM that I think would case problems. ------- end ------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 7 14:25:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA21483 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:25:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA21453 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:25:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA28950 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 01:11:29 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sequent.kiae.su with SMTP id AA03935 (5.65.kiae-2 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 00:43:32 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA03446 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 11:47:40 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA03368 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 11:46:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from crab.xinside.com (crab.xinside.com [199.164.187.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA03363 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 11:45:59 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jdc@localhost) by crab.xinside.com (8.6.8/8.6.9) id MAA10933; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:34:11 -0700 From: Jeremy Chatfield Message-Id: <199603071934.MAA10933@crab.xinside.com> Subject: Re: Accelerated-X Announcement: Approved announcement To: luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it (Luigi Rizzo) Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:34:10 +0000 (MST) Cc: robert@steffi.dgsys.com, questions@freebsd.org, bsdi-users@bsdi.com In-Reply-To: <199603050930.KAA05916@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> from "Luigi Rizzo" at Mar 5, 96 10:30:19 am Organization: X Inside Inc, 1801 Broadway, 17th Floor, Denver, CO 80202 Phone: +1 303 / 298-7478 Reply-To: jdc@xinside.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Charset: KOI8-R X-Char-Esc: 29 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Luigi Rizzo writes: > > Existing X Inside Accelerated-X customers can upgrade for $49.95, > > contact sales@xinside.com for details. > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > Hmm.

There is a 30 day money back period on the 1.2 Server... We're well aware of that. It costs *us* money to process returns, so we lose money on every returned product, such as the loss of customer good will, potential referrals, the actual sale, the unreimbursed costs of us answering the phone or email to take and process the order and the return, etc. Rather than flame us, ask our very nice Sales people what they'll do for you. We're in business for a couple of reasons, at least one of which is to make money, and we'll not do that if we severely annoy every customer :-) Further - I just approve the mailing. We try to keep down the posts, especially in the announce groups, so that they have a higher signal to noise ratio. I'm one of the few here that even knows how the approval mechanism works... Be careful to avoid shooting the messenger, please. Eventually we'll run out of them and nothing will get approved ;-) Cheers, JeremyC. -- Jeremy Chatfield +1(303)298-7478 FAX:+1(303)298-1406 email:jdc@xinside.com Commercial X Products - for more information please try: X Inside Inc, 1801 Broadway, 17th Floor, Denver, CO 80202 http://www.xinside.com/ majordomo@xinside.com ftp.xinside.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 7 14:40:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA24684 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:40:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA24666 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:40:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) id JAA03167; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 09:17:20 +1030 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199603072247.JAA03167@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: 2.1.0 serial mice -- wauugh!

This message means that your computer talks to a lot of other computers, and is adjusting some network queues. You can safely ignore them, but you may want to look into adjusting some of the network parameters to increase network performance.

The CPU spends 1/X * clock_differential_for_bus_access of its time; it will be in "bus wait" on clock_differential_for_bus_access - 1 of those clocks that it ordinarily would be using to run instructions in its L1 cache. > Now, the board in question has a single (it's a cheap unit!) 35ns > SRAM on it, which means that it can probably supply one byte every > 66ns (the closest multiple of the PCI period). That makes a BW of > 15 MB/s, not too far from my estimate. I don't doubt you could fully utilize the bus with programmed I/O. I just doubt that I/O binding the CPU is necessary, and I think the impact on the ability of the CPU to do useful work is multiplied by the clock_differential_for_bus_access -- on a P5 133, a factor of 4. I think that on most systems, the CPU has useful work to do other than accessing the I/O bus. I intensely dislike clock multiplied chips for precisely this reason; the differential is applied to the memory as well as the I/O bus. But applying it to the I/O bus in a PIO case multiplies the effect radically. PCI is, unfortunately, pretty well pegged at 33MHz. As CPU clock and memory speed goes up, the PIO problem will only get worse.

Well, I appreciate having the MIB variables, but what are the tradeoffs memory wise? How do these variables play in a very dynamic IP shop vs. a single machine?

There are two answers here : The first is : Abandon NFS for your PCs (and if possible, Macs as well). I would _strongly_ advise experimenting with the 'samba' package that's in the ports collection. This will provide markedly superior performance, and as a side effect, get around the original problem. For the Macs the solution is a little murkier. There may be SMB clients for the Mac as well, alternatively there's at least one, if not two Appletalk servers that work under FreeBSD. The second answer is : rpc.lockd is under development for FreeBSD. Sun don't document the protocol, and it would take serious money to get such information. There's an implementation of it in FreeBSD-current, but I'm not sure whether it would build and run under -stable or 2.1R. > Robin Melville, Addiction Information Services = -- ]] 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.

There are two answers here : The first is : Abandon NFS for your PCs (and if possible, Macs as well). I would _strongly_ advise experimenting with the 'samba' package that's in the ports collection. This will provide markedly superior performance, and as a side effect, get around the original problem. For the Macs the solution is a little murkier. There may be SMB clients for the Mac as well, alternatively there's at least one, if not two Appletalk servers that work under FreeBSD. The second answer is : rpc.lockd is under development for FreeBSD. Sun don't document the protocol, and it would take serious money to get such information. There's an implementation of it in FreeBSD-current, but I'm not sure whether it would build and run under -stable or 2.1R. > Robin Melville, Addiction Information Services = -- ]] 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.

Well, I appreciate having the MIB variables, but what are the tradeoffs memory wise? How do these variables play in a very dynamic IP shop vs. a single machine? What kind of settings should be on a popular nameserver/webserver vs a single user box? I'm just curious, because I get these messages all the time on my mail, www, and name servers, and don't know if it's really bad or good, or whether it would help if some of these were changed.

I made another boot floppy as you suggested. When the system rebooted, I changed the matcdc0 port to -1. This didn't cause the CD light to come on. When the config was finished, I tried to select the Installation media of CD and it said that I didn't have one. I also tried it with the default settings to no avail. This CD is attached to a Sound Blaster card and is a six speed. What do I do Next?

Hubbard" From: Robert Du Gaue To: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Subject: routing Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 08:16:21 -0800 (PST) Could you forward to your routing gurus. We have had a terrible couple of days. Our machine keep 'learning' bogus routes and we can't trace just where it's coming from. I'm trying now to give the system some fixed routes to overcome some problems, however the machines don't seem to also be learning arp entries, at least not all of them. Some machines are missing entries for various interfaces. I'm more worried about the portmasters right now, because if I do a net route to a portmaster that's not in the arp table, the route takes as a host instead of a net. I've made a file of fixed_arps to run with 'arp -f filename' command, but all entries for the portmasters that the system doesn't know about fail anyways. Here's what I'm seeing: bash# arp -a lan1.calweb.com (165.90.138.1) at 8:0:87:14:ac:2e calweb.calweb.com (165.90.138.3) at 8:0:69:8:8c:24 sun1.calweb.com (165.90.138.6) at 8:0:20:8:4e:b0 web1.calweb.com (165.90.138.10) at 0:0:c0:1c:f4:c6 web2.calweb.com (165.90.138.11) at 0:0:c0:18:6c:e web3.calweb.com (165.90.138.12) at 0:0:c0:de:8b:e web4.calweb.com (165.90.138.15) at 0:0:c0:63:c:9f mail.calweb.com (165.90.138.20) at 0:0:c0:1d:f4:c6 sac1.calweb.com (165.90.138.26) at 0:c0:5:1:d:25 sac2.calweb.com (165.90.138.27) at 0:c0:5:1:1e:48 ded1.calweb.com (165.90.138.28) at 0:c0:5:1:2e:f6 infosite.com (165.90.138.203) at 0:80:ad:14:b9:15 ?

Very wierd. The machines at some point learn routes of like: 165.90 and 165.90.138 Usually ether to the #link address or to a portmaster. Though I've test various different things and can't find anything that would cause the PM to broadcast routes like that. If everything was dynamic I'd just to RIP off on the PMs, but we do have some fixed IP people that can come in under any PM that I think would case problems. ------- end ------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 7 19:00:53 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA01873 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:00:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA01864 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:00:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA01610 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 05:43:51 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sovcom.kiae.su with SMTP id AA23130 (5.65.kiae-1 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 05:21:25 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA28813 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:54:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA28240 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:53:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA28193 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:53:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA29323 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 01:40:57 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sovcom.kiae.su with SMTP id AA25990 (5.65.kiae-1 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 01:33:58 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA07685 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:54:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA07520 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:52:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA07511 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:52:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id MAA11159 ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:50:41 -0800 Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id MAA05917; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:43:57 -0800 Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:43:57 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Craig Shrimpton Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, faq@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Can someone tell me what this kernel message means?

This message means that your computer talks to a lot of other computers, and is adjusting some network queues. You can safely ignore them, but you may want to look into adjusting some of the network parameters to increase network performance.

The CPU spends 1/X * clock_differential_for_bus_access of its time; it will be in "bus wait" on clock_differential_for_bus_access - 1 of those clocks that it ordinarily would be using to run instructions in its L1 cache. > Now, the board in question has a single (it's a cheap unit!) 35ns > SRAM on it, which means that it can probably supply one byte every > 66ns (the closest multiple of the PCI period). That makes a BW of > 15 MB/s, not too far from my estimate. I don't doubt you could fully utilize the bus with programmed I/O. I just doubt that I/O binding the CPU is necessary, and I think the impact on the ability of the CPU to do useful work is multiplied by the clock_differential_for_bus_access -- on a P5 133, a factor of 4. I think that on most systems, the CPU has useful work to do other than accessing the I/O bus. I intensely dislike clock multiplied chips for precisely this reason; the differential is applied to the memory as well as the I/O bus. But applying it to the I/O bus in a PIO case multiplies the effect radically. PCI is, unfortunately, pretty well pegged at 33MHz. As CPU clock and memory speed goes up, the PIO problem will only get worse.

There is a 30 day money back period on the 1.2 Server... We're well aware of that. It costs *us* money to process returns, so we lose money on every returned product, such as the loss of customer good will, potential referrals, the actual sale, the unreimbursed costs of us answering the phone or email to take and process the order and the return, etc. Rather than flame us, ask our very nice Sales people what they'll do for you. We're in business for a couple of reasons, at least one of which is to make money, and we'll not do that if we severely annoy every customer :-) Further - I just approve the mailing. We try to keep down the posts, especially in the announce groups, so that they have a higher signal to noise ratio. I'm one of the few here that even knows how the approval mechanism works... Be careful to avoid shooting the messenger, please. Eventually we'll run out of them and nothing will get approved ;-) Cheers, JeremyC. -- Jeremy Chatfield +1(303)298-7478 FAX:+1(303)298-1406 email:jdc@xinside.com Commercial X Products - for more information please try: X Inside Inc, 1801 Broadway, 17th Floor, Denver, CO 80202 http://www.xinside.com/ majordomo@xinside.com ftp.xinside.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 7 19:48:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA05724 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:48:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA05718 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:48:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA01934 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 06:40:33 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sequent.kiae.su with SMTP id AA06571 (5.65.kiae-2 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 06:34:34 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA24407 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 17:42:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id RAA24369 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 17:41:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from oznet16.ozemail.com.au (oznet16.ozemail.com.au [203.2.192.109]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id RAA24355 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 17:41:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from oznet02.ozemail.com.au (oznet02.ozemail.com.au [203.2.192.124]) by oznet16.ozemail.com.au (8.7.1/8.6.12) with ESMTP id LAA25819 for ; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 11:40:38 +1000 (EST) Received: from slsyd4p28.ozemail.com.au (slsyd4p28.ozemail.com.au [203.7.186.44]) by oznet02.ozemail.com.au (8.7.1/8.6.12) with SMTP id LAA27715 for ; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 11:40:34 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <31409B65.5408@ozemail.com.au> Date: Fri, 08 Mar 1996 12:41:09 -0800 From: David Rogers Organization: RBA X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win16; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: FreeBSD vs Linux X-Url: http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/FreeBSD-mirror/data/support.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Charset: KOI8-R X-Char-Esc: 29 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What are the differences between FreeBSD and Linux?

Michael's bike-shorts are safe; it seems that my serial hardware died shortly after giving me the results I've been madly trying to duplicate for a day and a half. Some new hardware later, the mouse is working. Thanks to all who pointed out solutions which, hardware forgiving, did the trick. As my own penance for not checking the hardware earlier, I offer a port of the latest ssh, version 1.2.13. If you want to keep up or (like me) have been frustrated that the ssh port on the mirrors doesn't work because the mirrors of the ssh distribution have updated, just yell and I'll mail you a copy. It's tiny.

If so, please try as follows. If root belongs to other groups except for wheel, it seems to become fail. So let root be out of other groups (in /etc/group), and belong to only wheel.

I'm not suggesting you should abandon TCP; samba runs SMB (aka. Lan Manager, aka. "microsoft windows network") over TCP. It basically does all that you're doing with NFS, but in an idiom that suits the PC rather better than NFS does. The only shadow there is at what level your TCP stack currently runs; if you're working at the Winsock level, you're laughing. Further down, you may hit trouble, it's hard to know without knowing about your current config. > >For the Macs the solution is a little murkier.

It's part of the -current distribution; look for the unpacked -current tree in /src/usr.sbin/rpc.lockd.

Parnas" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I'd like to see a list of xstones with cards/OS/Xversion. According to Matrox their Millenium with 4 MB and 32 colors on a Pentium 90 Mhz gets about 800,000 xstones in 256 color mode (8bit) and 720,000 in 24 bit mode. I'm planning on upgrading my Sun sparc 2 with a GX card that gets like 80,000, I think. I wonder what the new server would get with the same card on a 200 Mhz Pentium pro, which I intend to get soon with 128 MB of memory and a 4 GB SCSI III 7200 RPM, 8.5 ms average access time disk drive. (I have 64 meg now). I'd be interested in comparisons between different machines like the Sun UltraSparc 1 and 2 with different cards and Silicon Graphics with the R10000 and their high end graphics cards and the Dec Alpha. Also, I'd be interested in a comparison between the xstones of the same card on different OS's for the Pentium Pro 200 Mhz with different OSes like BSDI, Linux, SCO, Solaris x86, freebsd, netbsd, SGI's Unix, DEC's OSF and Ultrix, IBM's AIX on the RS/6000 and intel platforms.

It's IDE but it's connected to my sound card. I've tried to include ATAPI, but it didn't work! I did try to include matcd0 (Matsushita/Panasonic). It went as far as probing for the device, but somehow it can't find it. Can anybody shed light here?

The only trick I see is getting the unpartitioned space, since you may not be able to use FIPS.

Use the partition editor to create a new partition for FreeBSD WITHOUT deleting the ones that are there. Assuming you aren't using up your 4 slices, it should work.

Well, I appreciate having the MIB variables, but what are the tradeoffs memory wise? How do these variables play in a very dynamic IP shop vs. a single machine? What kind of settings should be on a popular nameserver/webserver vs a single user box? I'm just curious, because I get these messages all the time on my mail, www, and name servers, and don't know if it's really bad or good, or whether it would help if some of these were changed.

When I try to install it, I can see the kernel recognize my secondary EIDE controler, where is connected my CDROM ("NEC MultiSpin 4v" as master) but it can't recognize my CDROM drive (yes, CD is inside the drive). The CD drive work propertly with LINUX, WIN-NT, WIN-95 and DOS. I don't have room on DOS partition to copy installation files from the FreeBSD CDROM and I don't have tape backup, so I can't remove it temporary. Please give me some sugestions.

There are two answers here : The first is : Abandon NFS for your PCs (and if possible, Macs as well). I would _strongly_ advise experimenting with the 'samba' package that's in the ports collection. This will provide markedly superior performance, and as a side effect, get around the original problem. For the Macs the solution is a little murkier. There may be SMB clients for the Mac as well, alternatively there's at least one, if not two Appletalk servers that work under FreeBSD. The second answer is : rpc.lockd is under development for FreeBSD. Sun don't document the protocol, and it would take serious money to get such information.

I made another boot floppy as you suggested. When the system rebooted, I changed the matcdc0 port to -1. This didn't cause the CD light to come on. When the config was finished, I tried to select the Installation media of CD and it said that I didn't have one. I also tried it with the default settings to no avail.

Hubbard" From: Robert Du Gaue To: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Subject: routing Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 08:16:21 -0800 (PST) Could you forward to your routing gurus. We have had a terrible couple of days. Our machine keep 'learning' bogus routes and we can't trace just where it's coming from. I'm trying now to give the system some fixed routes to overcome some problems, however the machines don't seem to also be learning arp entries, at least not all of them. Some machines are missing entries for various interfaces. I'm more worried about the portmasters right now, because if I do a net route to a portmaster that's not in the arp table, the route takes as a host instead of a net. I've made a file of fixed_arps to run with 'arp -f filename' command, but all entries for the portmasters that the system doesn't know about fail anyways. Here's what I'm seeing: bash# arp -a lan1.calweb.com (165.90.138.1) at 8:0:87:14:ac:2e calweb.calweb.com (165.90.138.3) at 8:0:69:8:8c:24 sun1.calweb.com (165.90.138.6) at 8:0:20:8:4e:b0 web1.calweb.com (165.90.138.10) at 0:0:c0:1c:f4:c6 web2.calweb.com (165.90.138.11) at 0:0:c0:18:6c:e web3.calweb.com (165.90.138.12) at 0:0:c0:de:8b:e web4.calweb.com (165.90.138.15) at 0:0:c0:63:c:9f mail.calweb.com (165.90.138.20) at 0:0:c0:1d:f4:c6 sac1.calweb.com (165.90.138.26) at 0:c0:5:1:d:25 sac2.calweb.com (165.90.138.27) at 0:c0:5:1:1e:48 ded1.calweb.com (165.90.138.28) at 0:c0:5:1:2e:f6 infosite.com (165.90.138.203) at 0:80:ad:14:b9:15 ?

Very wierd. The machines at some point learn routes of like: 165.90 and 165.90.138 Usually ether to the #link address or to a portmaster. Though I've test various different things and can't find anything that would cause the PM to broadcast routes like that. If everything was dynamic I'd just to RIP off on the PMs, but we do have some fixed IP people that can come in under any PM that I think would case problems. ------- end ------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 8 04:36:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id DAA02595 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 03:22:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id DAA02537 for ; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 03:22:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id XAA22018 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 23:10:28 -0800 Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA03245 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 09:46:45 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sequent.kiae.su with SMTP id AA10530 (5.65.kiae-2 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 09:40:32 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA02026 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:02:46 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA01853 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:00:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA01848 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 19:00:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA01486 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 05:43:18 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sequent.kiae.su with SMTP id AA26503 (5.65.kiae-2 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 05:22:16 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA28506 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:53:59 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA27946 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:52:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.okbmei.msk.su (ns.okbmei.msk.su [194.190.170.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA27923 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 14:52:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from kiae.UUCP by ns.okbmei.msk.su with UUCP id AA29271 (5.67c8/IDA-1.5); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 01:40:47 +0300 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by sequent.kiae.su with SMTP id AA19939 (5.65.kiae-2 for ); Fri, 8 Mar 1996 01:26:25 +0300 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA04939 Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:11:18 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA04652 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:08:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail-e2a-service.gnn.com (mail-e2a-service.gnn.com [204.148.102.169]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA04582 for ; Thu, 7 Mar 1996 12:07:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from www-19-60.gnn.com.

There is a 30 day money back period on the 1.2 Server... We're well aware of that. It costs *us* money to process returns, so we lose money on every returned product, such as the loss of customer good will, potential referrals, the actual sale, the unreimbursed costs of us answering the phone or email to take and process the order and the return, etc. Rather than flame us, ask our very nice Sales people what they'll do for you. We're in business for a couple of reasons, at least one of which is to make money, and we'll not do that if we severely annoy every customer :-) Further - I just approve the mailing.

The CPU spends 1/X * clock_differential_for_bus_access of its time; it will be in "bus wait" on clock_differential_for_bus_access - 1 of those clocks that it ordinarily would be using to run instructions in its L1 cache. > Now, the board in question has a single (it's a cheap unit!) 35ns > SRAM on it, which means that it can probably supply one byte every > 66ns (the closest multiple of the PCI period). That makes a BW of > 15 MB/s, not too far from my estimate. I don't doubt you could fully utilize the bus with programmed I/O. I just doubt that I/O binding the CPU is necessary, and I think the impact on the ability of the CPU to do useful work is multiplied by the clock_differential_for_bus_access -- on a P5 133, a factor of 4. I think that on most systems, the CPU has useful work to do other than accessing the I/O bus. I intensely dislike clock multiplied chips for precisely this reason; the differential is applied to the memory as well as the I/O bus. But applying it to the I/O bus in a PIO case multiplies the effect radically. PCI is, unfortunately, pretty well pegged at 33MHz. As CPU clock and memory speed goes up, the PIO problem will only get worse.

I'm lost. Here is what I have going. 1. I don't have a 'supported CD-ROM' so I'm copying all needed files to a MS-DOS partition. I've gone through the CD-ROm and tried to identify the needed files. 2. When I run the installer, the installer loads up an index for me to choose the packages I would like. I select 'pcnfsd93.02.16'. When the installer tries to install the PCNFS I get an error saying "can't fetch package pcnfsd93.02.16", and exits. 3. Since I don't have a mondo MS-DOS partition, (only 250 meg) I have to be selective on what I copy into the partition for the installer to select. I've searched the CD-ROM hi and low looking for all files that pertain to PCNFS. I found 3 files and 1 directory. (the directory looks like the files for the application itself, but I'm not sure). I've copied files from the PORTS and PACKAGES directories. I've also copied the .tbl files from each directory. I'm probably missing some files but I don't know where to find them, especially if they are called something else from PCNFS. 4. I used xcopy /s command to copy these files over to the MS-DOS partition.

I mounted the boot floppy (mount, not mount -t msdos) and saw a single file, kernel. Fine, the new kernel was smaller than the original, so I blew away the original and copied the new kernel to the boot floppy.

What kind of settings should be on a popular > nameserver/webserver vs a single user box? Every entry in the routing table, which includes all of the per-host cache, takes up between 128 and 256 bytes of memory. The information stored there is of four different types: - VJ TCP parameters: round-trip time, slow-start threshold - Transaction TCP parameters: CC.sent and CC.rcvd - Default buffer sizes - Path MTU All of these parameters can be re-learned, at some cost in performance. The VJ parameters only come into play when the network is congested enough to result in retransmissions. The Path MTU, of course, depends on what sort of network connections are present along the path. The Tranaction TCP parameters, if deleted, simply cause the next connection with the host to fall back on standard TCP. The default buffer sizes are filled in from the parent route and optionally modified by the interface. Routes which represent ARP entries are managed by the ARP code and do not come into play here. Routes which do not represent ARP entries or other network interfaces (most commonly, the default route) are managed by this code. What happens is this: When the last reference to a cache-entry route is dropped, it enters the table-management mechanism. (If the route is referenced again before it gets deleted, it is no longer managed by this code.) At that time, the route is set up to expire some time in the future. Every so often, the code makes a sweep through the entire routing table and counts all such unreferenced routes. If any have timed out, it deletes them. If there are still more routes left in the cache than net.inet.ip.maxcache, then the maximum expiration time (net.inet.ip.rtexpire) is reduced by 25% or to net.inet.ip.rtminexpire, whichever is greater. Another sweep through the table is done to ensure that all expiration times are no greater than this new value, and the infamous message is logged indicating that this has happened. [The following discussion is for servers.] The question then turns to picking appropriate values for these parameters. You have to consider the question of how much time will pass between the drop of the last reference to a host, and the next reference to be created. If this time is very large (e.g., more than an hour), then keeping this information in the cache is not useful, since it be deleted before it is next used. You could increase the default timeout, but this is not very useful, since after an hour or more the old information is unlikely to be of relevance. It is more useful to decrease rtexpire to some small value, and set rtminexpire to the same value to prevent further decreases; I would suggest something on the order of 120 (two minutes). If the time is more reasonable, then the cache is probably doing what it was intended to do. In this case, you want to leave rtexpire and rtminexpire alone, and consider how much memory you are willing to use for the cache. As I said, figure on 256 bytes per entry, so 1024 hosts in the cache would mean 256K of non-pageable kernel memory. Set net.inet.ip.rtmaxcache to a larger value, and let the adaptation mechanism find the right expiration time for you. [This discussion is for non-servers.] For routers and workstations, the default values of these parameters should suffice. While it is certainly possible to trigger the adaptation mechanism, this does not happen very often is should be of little concern. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Stefan said: > Boot with -v and look for all PCI bus probe > messages. Excellent idea, but it never made it to the PCI probes, it hung before then. When I opened up the box, I suddenly remembered that my soundblaster is a Soundblaster SCSI, and the SCSI port cannot be disabled in hardware. I don't use the SB SCSI, I use the NCR SCSI, and forgot about the SB. I _had_ noticed that it'd probed an Adaptec on ISA, but since it also detected my Intel EtherExpress as a Mitsumi CD, I figured (wrongly) that the Adaptec was just another misprobe. A bit of fiddling with boot -c, and it now comes up.

I've repeatedly tried to build the XView packages, but unfortunately cmdtool builds, but does not run properly under 2.1-stable. Whenever I hit return at the prompt, it goes nutso crazy, as if I were repeatedly hitting return over and over until I hit ^C. Likewise if I invoke a command -- it operates over and over again -- not good :-( . I have a feeling that this is a problem within the XView tty code interacting with FreeBSD's pty implementation. I've even gone so far back as to try out the cmdtool found on the FreeBSD 1.1 CD's xview-bin proto-package. Same effect. Any hints would be appreciated!

Boot with -c, say 'flags sio2 0x80', then 'quit', and send us the probe messages for sio2. You can get at them after the ssytem has booted with the 'dmesg' command. I suspect your internal modem is failing to respond quickly enough to be probed; this is a common fault which reflects very poorly on the modem's manufacturer. -- ]] 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.

If it's any consolation, once you have FreeBSD installed (even though you might have to do it by copying the appropriate directories of the CD-ROM to another partition on your hard drive or something equally hideous) then when you build a custom kernel, it will recognize your Mitsumi CD-ROM. I don't know why the driver works for a custom kernel, but not in the boot disk, but I hope it gets fixed soon. ---Jake From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 8 19:54:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA13627 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 19:54:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA13617 for ; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 19:54:34 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id TAA09943; Fri, 8 Mar 1996 19:55:23 -0800 Date: Fri, 8 Mar 1996 19:55:23 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "Andrzej M.

However I still can't seem to mount the ide atapi cdrom. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong? Some things I noticed were that: (1) the installation didn't create /dev/wcd0c automatically. I had to run /dev/MAKEDEV all to create it. /dev/wcd0c is the correct device file for the atapi cdrom isn't it? (2) When I try /sbin/mount -t iso9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom or /sbin/mount -t cd9660 /wcd0c /cdrom I get an error message about /usr/sbin/mount_cd9660 on /cdrom -- well, when I look, the mount_cd9660 is in /sbin, not /usr/sbin. So, finally, I run /sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom, and I get an error message "Device not configured." I did the MAKEDEV for /dev/wcd0c. I did create the /cdrom directory, and no one is "in" it when I try the mount. The FreeBSD install disk 1 is in the cdrom drive when I try to mount it. I don't know what to try next.

I've been writting a C++ program that uses curses, it importend that it's platform independent. I started it at work on a Linux system. Then brought it home to my FreeBSD 2.1R system. But it won't link, the curses function calls are being looked for as C++ calls (mangled). I'm using the same version of the GNU compiler on both system. It's only the curses function that are having this problem. Is there something I need to do to tell the compile not to treat the curses calls as C++ and why doesn't it do this to other lib calls.

But fstat seems broken. The man page claims that you'll get a list of the open file table for the process identified by number, plus special entries `wd' for the current working directory, `tr' for trace file, etc., plus `text' for the open executable file, which is what you want.

COMCONSOLE's purpose was obvious: it makes "the" com line be the console. It's less obvious what happens when there are multiple com lines handled by multiple drivers (the others don't work; most serial drivers don't even support serial consoles) and how it interacts with the FORCE_COMCONSOLE, "notyet" and PROBE_KEYBOARD options in the bootstrap, and the RB_SERIAL boot flag. So many options, and they don't even let you specify the serial device or speed :-(. It's usually best to use the boot flag (boot with -h) and not worry about all the options.

It is stored as seconds since the epoc (e.g. a value of type time_t). chpass uses the mktime() function to generate the value, so you might want to look at how chpass generates the value just to be sure you are consistent. -Mike From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 9 13:05:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA23626 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 9 Mar 1996 13:05:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from echo.sound.net (root@echo.sound.net [205.242.192.21]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA23619 for ; Sat, 9 Mar 1996 13:05:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from max4-38.sound.net (max4-38.sound.net [205.242.205.38]) by echo.sound.net (8.7.4/8.7.4) with SMTP id PAA06646 for ; Sat, 9 Mar 1996 15:04:56 -0600 (CST) Date: Sat, 9 Mar 1996 15:04:56 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199603092104.PAA06646@echo.sound.net> X-Sender: mhlevy@sound.net (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: Mark Levy Subject: Does FreeBSD have SNMP?

Yet another way is to edit one of the bootblock files. I've got 2 IDEs and 1 SCSI, with 2.1-RELEASE booting off the SCSI. FreeBSD installed fine on the SCSI drive, and would boot, but halfway through the boot process would reboot. If you disable the IDEs in your BIOS, and boot directly, you can edit /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c to "hardcode" your drive in there. Turns out it was passing the wrong drive (sd2 instead of sd0) to the kernel. Carlos -- Carlos A.
