Archie around for crack. It'll tell you what a users password is, if you've got 5 or 6 days on a Pentium. ;^) The UNIX password encryption algorithm is a one-way street. When you set your password with passwd(1), the password you typed is used as the key to encrypt some known text; the result is stored in the passwd file. When you login, your password is read from the terminal, encrypted in the same manner, and the result checked against the string in the passwd database. There is no known decryption for passwd entriess, unless the NSA knows something they're not telling us. If your user forgets his or her password, set the password to a foolish value and "expire" the password. The user will have to choose a new password upon logging into the system. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to set the password expiration (or change time) on FreeBSD. If your user has already forgotten the previous value, obviously he or she needs an opportunity to choose a new password. ;^) -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 24 00:38:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA13043 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 24 Mar 1996 00:38:54 -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 AAA13031 for ; Sun, 24 Mar 1996 00:38:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) id TAA24127; Sun, 24 Mar 1996 19:25:51 +1030 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199603240855.TAA24127@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: Booting off SCSI disks when two IDE disks also installed.

I built my new kernel, did a "make install", and then rebooted. However, while trying to the symbols, the loader said: "Error: C:1024>1023 (BIOS limit)". This is kind of an unexpected message, since not only does "fdisk" say only 1023 cylinders, "disklabel" says that the a partition is cylinders 0-34.

It sounds like you are trying to log in from a DOS computer to a linux machine. If that's really the case, I believe you should try to find help elsewhere (linux newsgroup).

Er. I'd suggest reading up a little more on how X manages colours. However, to answer the issue at hand; when you start X, it will request at most 4096 colours from the shared colourmap. On an 8-bit display, this means that there are no free colours in the shared colourmap once Netscape has started. There are three possible solutions here : - Don't run Netscape. (It's not really that wonderful...) - Upgrade your video hardware and run a 16-bit display. Expen$ive. - Run Netscape with the -install option. This will force it to use a private colourmap. It's yukky, but does what you want.

Shapiro" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Wes: Here's a slightly more detailed explanation which you may (or may not) find helpful. The FreeBSD boot sector uses BIOS calls to load the kernel. This imposes a number of limitations, the most important of which are: o The entire kernel image (or secondary bootstrap image) must fall within the part of the drive addressable by the BIOS. On older BIOS's this meant using translation for large drives. o Only those disks that are visible to the BIOS (i.e. the first two) can be booted from. Before you installed the second drive, the adaptec controller was looking, saying "okay, scsi0 should become BIOS drive 0x81" and installing the drive in the BIOS table and the adaptec ROM disk BIOS as the BIOS for that drive. Once you installed the second IDE drive, though, I bet you didn't notice that the adaptec board started saying "BIOS not loaded" (or some such). Basically, it's deciding that BIOS drives 0x80 and 0x81 were already mapped, and giving up. Actually, my board (2940W) says so even if only one IDE drive is installed. Actually, my guess is that it wasn't installing the BIOS with one drive either, and you were getting away with this by sheer luck and register level compatibility. If your board supports multiple IDE interfaces (many now support two), you might find that you are able to make things work by installing your 2nd drive on the 2nd interface. Even so, be aware that you're playing with fire here, and not all boards will work. I don't think that any of the fancy boot loaders will work for you. Most of them are dependent on the BIOS.

No, there is no need to recompile, taka a look in /etc/sysconfig. And you might also wan't to do man ifconfig.

I had the same problem a while back when I first installed (also 2.1.0-RELEASE). I also have 2 IDEs and 1 SCSI, and FreeBSD was going to the SCSI drive. It is possible to have it run like this; while the method I used may not be the best, it was quick 'n easy and seems to work fine. I have OS-BS (the beta, I forget the version #) installed, and boot DOS (1st IDE), OS/2 (2nd IDE) and FreeBSD (1st SCSI). (FWIW, OS/2's Boot Manager will also boot the three OSs from the 3 hds). I had to patch one thing to get FreeBSD to load. Basically, what happens is that in this case (2 IDEs and 1 SCSI, probably others too), the biosboot program does not pass the correct root/boot device/partition to the kernel. You should be able to boot up fine by disabling the 2 IDEs in your CMOS setup. Once you're up, you can edit /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c, shortly before the call to startprog(). It seems that at this point, unit holds the drive # (0 for 1st IDE, 1 for 2nd, 2 for SCSI). When it gets passed to the kernel, through startprog() the bootdev param, the kernel then assumes that the boot device is sd2 (I think). My solution was to hardcode unit = 0 before setting up bootdev through MAKEBOOTDEV() (yep, cheesy but it works). After that, compile, and run disklabel to install the new biosboot. Then you can re-enable the IDEs in the CMOS, and with OS-BS (or another boot manager of your choice) you should be able to boot fine. Someone may have fixed this since; I have seen some patches to the biosboot stuff, but haven't really looked at them. Carlos -- Carlos A.

This is pretty easy to do. Basically, in your login script, you have it call tty to determine which tty is being used and then assign the IP address based on the particular line. #!/bin/sh # # Dynamic PPP login account # PATH=:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH mesg n stty -tostop case `tty` in '*ttyd1') exec pppd `hostname`:machine-A debug ;; '*ttyd2') exec pppd `hostname`:machineB debug ;; esac exit 0 I just whipped this up, so it probably won't work but it should give you an idea on how one could set it up. This also assumes you are using kernel-PPP, but the ideas should be relevant for iijppp as well.

By any chace, does anyone know where I can find drivers for this? Maybe someone is working on drivers? I know there is much better support for Adapted than Western Digital, but this SCSI controller has a great feature that I haven't seen in any Adapted SCSI controllers. At boot time, it allows me to choose whether I want to boot from my first IDE or any of my SCSI devices. No more inconvenient boot menus. I would really appreciate any help, since now I am having to use a slow Adaptec as my secondary SCSI controller just to allow my FreeBSD to see my SCSI cdrom.

I set up tip to dial in to my local internet service provider. However, tip just timesout after being invoked. Is there some problem with the way i configured the /etc/remote and /etc/modems files? I created a generic hayes modem entry in the /etc/modems file as the aptiva modem (which comes on the Mwave card) is hayes compatible. Did i get my initialization string wrong? I tried the general initialization string used (i don't exactly remember the string :-) ) If someone has experienced problems with using the modem thru freebsd on their aptiva and have managed to solve the problem, then i hope they can provide some answers to me.

I can ping them, and they reply, but telnet's get as far as making the connection (which I can see via netstat) but after it tells me that the escape character is ^] I don't see the login: prompt, nor do any characters I type get sent over the modem line. I don't see the rd/sd lights blink when I hit keys. However, after a period of time the connection is closed by the remote host (I'm assuming because of a timeout). I can telnet to these freebsd machines when I run linux on the dialup machine. When I'm in freebsd I can telnet to a sun, and get to the ethernet'd freebsd boxes indirectly. I can telnet/ftp/rlogin fine to/from other freebsd boxes that are connected via ethernet, so I'm thinking that something is not right with my machine that must access through dialup. The machines are running 2.1R.

How do I find out what someone's password > is ? There are three ways, and two are easy. The first is ask them. The second is make a guess, encrypt it using the crypt function (the one in perl is handy), and compare the result with the encrypted copy kept in master.passwd. (Note - when encrypting your guess you will have to use the same 'salt' as was used when their password was originaly created. The 'salt' is usually the first few characters of the encypted password - perhaps someone else knows which ones.) Of course this may take a while if the person followed the basic rules when thinking up a password. The third (hard) way is to watch them enter it using a netowrk sniffer or something sneaky like that. Network sniffers tend to be complex things to impliment and use.

I've got a 3c509-TP card, used with an external BNC tranciever. My 486 machine doesn't seem to be able to recognise it (2.1.0R), seemigly regardless of what IRQ/port address I set it to. Windows95 does find the card just fine, as does the DOS NDIS driver, etc. Interestingly enough, Windows95 does not show, or make any refrence to an IRQ when using the card, and I also noticed that when I switched the card (using the 3c5x9cfg program) to, say port 280, that Windows still worked just fine, even though it was still set to 300. I tried the card in another machine (a P150) and FreeBSD finds it just fine. (Although something is strange with the interrupt #s, as when the card is set to IRQ 11, BSD finds it at IRQ 10). Windows95 works fine as well, but it DOES find, show, etc, that the card is using IRQ 10... I know the driver is still buggy, but does anyone have any idea what is going on here? If not, perhaps this strange behavior should be passed on to whomever is working on the 3c509 driver. My second question is with sysinstall. Are you not supposed to be able to go back into Sysconfig and change your interface settings (ie, add a new interface)? I tried that the other day on one machine, and it wouldn't go back into the interfaces menu. We couldn't set up ppp when we installed BSD, as the serial ports had to be disabled for the mach 64. It's not really a big deal to do it manually, although ppp is a bit of a pain, I just thought it was suposed to work. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I think it may have problems with, say, going back and trying to install XFree after the system is installed, as well, which would be nice to ba able to do. (I accidentally named the directory wrong in the DOS partition, so it never installed X, then I had to go back and do it manually because sysinstall wouldn't do it.) Boy, the install process sure is slick compared to, say 2.0, though! Later......

However, to answer a better question, you probably don't want to do this. There are two parts to X: the server (which displays graphics on hardware), and the client (which sends messages to the server to display graphics on the server's side). startx is designed to start (and run) the X server. You'll probably need to be at the console to use startx usefully. As far as for running clients (the programs that want to display graphics, like Netscape or Emacs or rxvt or what have you), you *can* run them on the telnet machine over telnet and have them work. > > Thanks Much, > > Alexander Berry, Jr. > aberryjr@dial.illinois.net > 73364.1734@compuserve.com > STANDARD DISCLAIMER > > Bryan K.

I know that MS did some nonstandard things that cause problems (regarding negotiating the DNS, I believe, not a bad thing if done in a backwards compatible way), and that only the 2.2.X branch of Linux's ppp will work. Oh, this is for dialing into a FreeBSD machine on the internet, not the other way around, which would be a sick and disgusting concept anyway :-) 2) Can FreeBSD work on a drive set up using LBA? The motherboard/bios would be handling the translation. Not a critical issue, but I want to set up 2 255M partitions, and that plus root won't fit below 1024 without LBA. I wouldn't expect there to be a problem, except possibly reading the partition table. Thanks for any info.

Don't know from that description; I have 4 machines doing exactly this (two are acting as filtering routers and the other two are firewalls (which thus don't run routed...)). None of these have any problems, with 2.0.5R, 2.1R, "-stable" or 1.1.5R (yes, it's old!). You do need to make sure that none of the ip address/netmask pairs overlap, though I don't know if routed would hang in that case. Check the ifconfig parms for both cards, and make sure you have only one default route (and that the default route *works*)... If you're running ISA SMC cards (and some others too) they have memory windows too; those have to be different from each other and from anything else on the bus, also (VERY important) marked non-cacheable to the bios if there is such an option in your setup (most pentium and some 486 systems take care of this one in the page table and not in bios setup; I presume that fbsd sets that bit for cpu's that support it). (I've even run machines with two cards on the same physical net with non-overlapping address/netmasks to handle a transition; that worked fine though some routes got inefficient, especially for UDP... In this case you shouldn't run routed without -q, though if all routers are set up right it won't hurt) (I used separate cards because with aliases routes got stuck sometimes; the machine never crashed but sometimes it wouldn't get to one or the other subnet.) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 12:52:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA03967 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 12:52:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from richc.isdn.bcm.tmc.edu (root@RICHC.ISDN.BCM.TMC.EDU [128.249.250.37]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA03950 Mon, 25 Mar 1996 12:52:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from rich@localhost) by richc.isdn.bcm.tmc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id OAA02495; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 14:52:52 -0600 Date: Mon, 25 Mar 1996 14:52:52 -0600 Message-Id: <199603252052.OAA02495@richc.isdn.bcm.tmc.edu> From: Rich Murphey To: gpalmer@FreeBSD.ORG CC: ports@FreeBSD.ORG, questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-reply-to: <379.827779387@palmer.demon.co.uk> (gpalmer@FreeBSD.ORG) Subject: Re: Voice Capable modems Reply-to: rich@lamprey.utmb.edu Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk |From: "Gary Palmer" |I've just got myself a new USR modem, and I somehow ended up with one |of the new voicemail capable modems (I'm not complaining :) ).

Have you guys tried the March release mgetty-0.99 on ftp.leo.org? It may do the job, but it needs some ports patches before it will compile... I recall hearing someone say that class I voice/data/fax modems can't differentiate between data and the others, but class II could. But a class I can still do the fax/voice autodetect okay. Well, if anyone gets that mgetty 0.99 March release compiled, please let me know. Otherwise, it would still be nice to get the latest Wine (also needs patches to compile) to work with the Win3.1 modem software that's included. Does anyone know anything about the Wine FAQ that says you can use dosemu and throw Win 3.1 on top of it to get Windows emulation? ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || 2022 Taraval Street #10560 NexGen benchmarks available on our WWW site || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 16:39:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA21988 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:39:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA21981 for ; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:39:08 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id RAA12970; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 17:22:28 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199603260022.RAA12970@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: More X question.

Reply-to: jdiesel@iee.org Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there I did send an email yesterday, regarding this subject, but got no answers (which I usually do very promptly), so I thought that my information supplied was not complete enough, so here goes once again. I have a standard pc, 386DX 40Mhz, with 8Mb RAM, and: Maxtor HDD 1024 cyl, 16 heads and 63 sectors = 504Mb, bytes / sector = 512. Under DOS the HDD works perfectly, and so do the serial ports! The program QA Plus (for those of you who know it) reports that the HDD is an IDE type with a HD base = 1F0h. I have partitioned it into three partitions and the once I am trying to install FreeBSD onto is 200Mb. I do a rawrite of the boot.flp onto a diskette, and boot the system. My experience tells me what to look for. I find the network card, and the console and standard things, but no serial ports (COM1 and COM2) and no wdc0. I reboot DOS and all are there. I do have an oldish controller card, where the serial, parallel, floppy and HDD controller are all on one card, and I have lost the instructions to the card so I don't know exactly what jumpers should go where, but it all works under DOS. Is there a problem with the 1024 cyl, I did read teh FAQ sheet and noticed some issues on the 1024 cyl stuff. I also noticed in some source code (wd.c) that it has some comments about 1023 ... But in the source it also shows that an error will be shown if this does happen, but why do I loose my serial ports. I would appreciate any information, like maybe changing the bios on what disk I have, etc. Many thanx JAson *********************************************************** Please Note, my new e-mail address: jdiesel@iee.org *********************************************************** Jason Diesel ======================jdiesel@iee.org====================== http://www.dataware.de/~jason From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 16:49:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA22525 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:49:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from cocoa.ops.neosoft.com (root@cocoa.ops.neosoft.com [206.109.5.227]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA22520 for ; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 16:49:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dbaker@localhost) by cocoa.ops.neosoft.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id SAA00506; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 18:48:57 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 25 Mar 1996 18:48:56 -0600 (CST) From: Daniel Baker X-Sender: dbaker@cocoa.ops.neosoft.com To: Duane Ferrell cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Login In-Reply-To: <199603260139.RAA03733@server.imsday.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The ID is root. so, this is what it will look like FreeBSD (cocoa.ops.neosoft.com) (ttyp9) login: root Password: then you type in the password there.

I have looked into this briefly and it doesn't look to be a simple task but we are willing to try. I do want/need some infornmation though. 1. Is there any kernel hacking documentation outlining the layout of kernel sources etc. If so where may i find it. 2. Is there any documentation specific to developing an LKM under FreeBSD, since our intention is to do that. In general do you have any documentation/suggestions/infornmation that you feel we should have to aid us. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks. -- _______________________________________________ | Adam Migus amigus@cs.mun.ca | | Computer Science, Memorial University | ----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 25 19:19:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA05640 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 19:19:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from wedge.its.utas.edu.au (wedge.its.utas.edu.au [131.217.10.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA05633 for ; Mon, 25 Mar 1996 19:19:36 -0800 (PST) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.1/8.6.6) id OAA12452; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 14:19:00 +1100 (EST) Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 14:18:59 +1100 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au To: Darrel Herbst cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: telnet hangs over slip to freebsd boxes?

Since I want to be able to use this machine with FreeBSD, I'd like to consult with the group before I make the final decision. The notebook I am considering is the CTX EZ350D. Through some contacts I am able to get this unit at a very good price. Obviously, I'd prefer to spend less money, that way I have money left over for other toys... er, necessities, like PCMCIA cards, Zip disks, etc. But if this unit will not work with FreeBSD, I'm willing to consider an alternate. I don't mean if it won't work AT ALL with FreeBSD. As long as FreeBSD runs, I'll be happy. I don't need top performance, I'm not a power user, etc. At minimum I'd like to be able to run FreeBSD console sessions and use the laptop's built-in COM ports (*not* PCMCIA) to drive a modem for contacting BBS's and using my PPP connection. Obviously, the more "goodies" I can use (e.g. Xwindows, using a PCMCIA modem and/or network card, etc.) is great, but not altogether necessary. Anyway, here are the spec's on the notebook, and some notes/questions I have re: them. Any and all answers or help greatly appreciated. IntelDX4/100 CPU This should work. Hopefully the APM features will work with the FreeBSD apm0 driver? Touchpad (as opposed to a mouse or trackball -- one of those things that looks like a miniature graphics tablet, you move your finger on it and the pointer moves) Hopefully this is PS/2 mouse compatible (or however laptop pointing devices are emulated?) Works with XFree? 8 MB RAM expandable to 32 MB I know, 16 would be better, but I've run on 8 before, with no probs. Removable 520MB Hard drive I know, a bit small, but my current FreeBSD partition is 540MB and I'm not exactly hurting for space. I'll eventually want a bigger storage space, and I'm thinking along the lines of a SCSI PCMCIA adapter and a external Zip or Jaz drive... will this work? (also see notes below under PCMCIA) 10.4" active matrix color display Nothing unusual here... builtin 16 bit sound card Is it SB16 compatible? Or will it work with the FreeBSD snd driver? Removable NiMH battery Nothing unusual here... 3.5" 1.44m floppy disk Just as long as I can boot the FreeBSD bootdisk, I'm happy... 32-bit VLB Windows accelerator with 1 MB VRAM Chipset? XFree86 compatible? I don't need >256 colors but would be nice... 1 Type II, 1 Type III PCMCIA slot What's the status re FreeBSD and PCMCIA? I would ideally like to stick to a RELEASE or STABLE version, but if I must run CURRENT, I can cope. Is this PCMCIA controller supported? What PCMCIA devices are supported? (I'm interested in modems, network cardsk, and SCSI cards.) EPP parallel, high-speed serial, sound in/out, external monitor, and external PS/2 keyboard ports Good, the serial ports have 16550's. I suppose I should be able to run a external modem off one of these, if I can't/don't want to run with PCMCIA devices? If anyone has had experience running FreeBSD (or really, any of the free UNIX OS's) on this laptop, successful or no, I would appreciate some insight and/or information.

I had a lot of problems with this, especially after looking at the conner home page on the net, and saw that you cannot always add a second HDD to a system that contains a conner HDD (especially the older ones) so I removed it, and now only have the one. I did boot with the -c option, and have tried both the visual interfaces and the normal one. One thing I did notice, is the "probe" feature is not in the 2.1.0 release, although the doc says so! I think that would be a clue. Maybe I should try the 2.0.5 release to see if it can find my missing things. However, does anyone know of any problems with these multi I/O cards causing conflicts and so on? I have a feeling that FreeBSD is trying to manipulate the card in such a way that it cannot recognise something, why else would I loose my serial ports only with FreeBSD booting, but not with DOS.
