I started playing with xntpd and ntpdate. I got "no suitable servers ..." every time, so I looked in the code. Seems that ntpdate (and probably also xntpd) requires a server with stratum less than 16 to synchronize time with that server. The problem is that all our freebsd-servers have stratum=16. So, how do I either lower a servers local stratum or make the programs accept servers with stratum=16? Seems to me that this requirement is there for a reason, that's why I'd rather not hack the code if I can avoid it.

The third and bad option is to make the NTP server to think it's synchronized when it's not.

The Handbook states that the number of processes is equal to 20 + (16 * MAXUSERS) or in my case 1044 which should be more than enough.

Set their shell to /usr/bin/passwd, so they can telnet in and change password. Another way is set up poppassd, and let them change password via Eudora or a WWW-interface to poppassd. 2. Use wu-ftpd, and use its guestgroup feature (chroot them!). This way, they can get their E-Mail via pop, change their password, and restricted only to their web-space via ftp.

Can things be = > set up so that the BSD PC does proxy requests on behalf of the other = > nodes ? Ok.. for proxy gatewaying things like httpd, ftp, and gopher, I would look at the Harvest Cache. It is in the ports section but it compiles cleanly out of the box. We use it here for just that purpouse. For telnet you might consider looking at two options. - One give the people access on the BSD machine to telnet into it, and form there to telnet out. This is a good solution and allows you to more activly monitor who is using this type of access... - Two, you can look into using the BSD machine as a gateway. Make sure you read the manpages on ipfw and check in the handbook before you turn gateway on. Unless you filter things correctly you will be allowing the internet access to your internal network. Also consider that by putting that machine on PPP any one that has access to your machine can come in from either direction. You may wanna look at tcp-wrappers to control this. -branson -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | branson@widomaker.com Ferguson SysAdmin | http://widomaker.com/~branson From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 5 11:14:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA00380 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 May 1996 11:14:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from unixg.ubc.ca (mail.unixg.ubc.ca [137.82.27.14]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA00369 for ; Sun, 5 May 1996 11:14:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from UBC.ubc.ca (port42.annex2.net.ubc.ca [137.82.220.142]) by unixg.ubc.ca (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA18568 for ; Sun, 5 May 1996 11:14:44 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <318CEF47.38C4@unixg.ubc.ca> Date: Sun, 05 May 1996 11:11:19 -0700 From: wayne tamagi X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: problems booting up X-URL: http://www.freebsd.com/support.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello I am having problems with installing Freebsd. I have installed it many times and have come up unsuccessful throughout the job. My IDE drive is partitioned and I have Windows 95 on the C drive and I did an install from C drive onto my D drive. The D drive is dedicated for Freebsd. I stripped down my configuration settings for all my hardware. I have been doing a minimal installation. I've read some troubleshooting and it states it is likely it is the disk geometry. So I checked it after the first installation and it was wrong so I set it up to the assummed settings. I went into CMOS to find it. I have an IBM OS/2 IDE drive 730MB. In CMOS it showed the geometry as 1416/16/63 (cylinders/heads/sectos per track). I used these setting and re-installed FreeBsd and bootup and the results were even worse! At the bootup manager when I enter F2 it did not go to: >>FreeBSD Boot... Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed etc... My computer would just hang and I can see the hard drive is running constantly (red light on front is on). Can anyone advise me what I can do? When I used the disk geometry 708/32/63 and go to boot up I would get >>FreeBSD Boot... Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed etc... But that's it. The hard drive was not running. What am I doing wrong?

I tried using 0xffffffff and it works without complaint but if I use 255.255.255.255 netmask a traceroute to the virtual domain will fail. The traceroute will time-out at the last hop before the virtual host machine. Is there a way to fix that? I would like traceroutes to work.

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for this activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it.

The two don't mix. In order to compile a -current kernel on a non-current system, you'll need the -current config too... Of course, the kernel won't work if you try booting it as the interface to the kernel for a lot of programs (sysctl springs to mind as a very good example) has changed in -current.

Procmail springs to mind. sendmail can't handle this sort of setup very easily (it's possible (I >>THINK<<) but really messy). You can write procmail filters to send mail sent to different `To:' addresses to different people. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations.

I can post the required changes if anyone wants them. No filters, nothing, it is just like the alias database.

On the client side there is program pm-remote (MSDOS) which is some sort of mail gateway ( I know, it look stupid :-), but its a must) . It can talk to popper via terminal, but requires disabling echo so it doesn't catch its own input. I'm looking for the way to disable echo either during telnet session or while initializing terminal. The only way I succeeded was to send 3 times "^E" during telnet session, but it turned to change something in handling newlines so output starts to look like: pop server starting. password for user required: < blank from begining of line >OK I don't know what kind of chars are output but they prevent pmremote from detecting responses.

I had your FreeBSD 2.1 installed from your CD on my old 486 system and intended to do the same with my newly acquired Pentium System. Unfortunately the new system comes with an ATAPI CD-ROM (Toshiba XM5502B (6x speed). It seems that the FreeBSD 2.1 installation runs ok (with your provided atapiflb.bat) up to the point where the actual packages are transferred from the CD to the Harddisk. I woul suspect that the ATAPI driver does not run (As you point out in your documentation). Is there any stable ATAPI Kernel now and what do I have to do to get your CD-ROM installed ??

Well, I don't have DOS on the machine. So I tried to boot from a DOS floppy, and it went on like there's no disk in the drive. ;-P I guess, now I have to check the floppy drive itself.

I struggled for hours thinking I had DNS problems but when I chose "Other" and specified the ftp://163......../path method the result was the same - "Can't ftp to ..." I know the hardware is OK because I can reboot to DOS and ftp to FreeBSD.org [to look around for ideas] any time I wish. I'm running a Dell pentium with 2 1.2g disks. The boot.flp & rawrite.exe download went without a hitch followed by an encouraging session with the bootup/configuration utilities. It's a bummer to hit that dead silence of a failed ftp connection after such an encouraging start. :-( Can we assume the boot software is recognizing the necessary hardware [like my ethernet card] when it doesn't complain? Thanks, --Jim Fox ---------------------------------------------------------- My SMC card IS being recognized at bootup from the floppy. I have a feeling I'm missing something so fundamental to this process that you don't even put it in the documentation! Any help would be appreciated.

The traceroute will time-out at the last hop > before the virtual host machine. That is as it should be. Traceroute works as follows: ttl = 1 while (we don't have a response from target) { send-packet-with-IP-time-to-live(target, ttl) wait-for-response() read-and-print-response() ttl++ } The response that traceroute is waiting for is either an ICMP Time Exceeded message, which comes from an intermediate hop, or an ICMP Port Unreachable message, which comes from the final destination. Traceroute doesn't actually distinguish between the two; it just prints out the delay. (It does look for host and network unreachable messages and prints `!H' or `!N'.) Now, what happens when you run a traceroute to an alias address? Your machine eventually receives the packet, and sends back a port unreachable message, but because it appears to come from a different address than the one traceroute was expecting, traceroute assumes that it got an intermediate hop and not the final destination. (If you had a multi-homed host with all the addresses listed in the A record, traceroute would know to check them all.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Of course I compiled some programs under it and they are now linked to libc.so.3.0. However, I've switched back to freebsd-stable. As we all know, that is now using libc.so.2.2. So, whenever I go to do a "make world", ld finds the highest numbered libc and tries to use it. Naturally this messes things all kinds of up. So, I'm wondering if some kind soul out there can help me out. I've tried editing /usr/share/mk/sys.mk to add the "-l/usr/lib/libc.so.2.2" line to LDFLAG section. This isn't working. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone tell me where to add what to make ld use the 2.2 versions of the various libraries?

Any ideas or suggestions anyone might > have would be great! I have not had any problems with CERN httpd so far so I don't have a lot of trouble-shooting expience with it. However, here is a (possibly to) simple suggestion. Make sure that you are putting your cgi scripts in the directory specified in your httpd.conf (often found at /usr/local/etc/httpd.conf). The line to look for is: Exec /cgi-bin/* /your/script/directory/* /your/script/directory is an absolute path from the real root dir of your system not the "fake" root dir that your web pages live under (as set by "Pass /* /your/URL/dir") Also note the *'s at the end of the both paths in the Exec statement. I believe they are important. When you call your script from a web page the reference to /cgi-bin/whatever will execute the script at /your/script/directory/whatever (assuming the Exec line above.) *--------- * Bill Campbell email: campbb@d-e.pvt.k12.nj.us * Dwight-Englewood School phone: 201-569-9500 ext 3206 * 315 E.

I have not spoke with him in a while, but here is the deal. As per my last round with Paul, we came to the conclusion that, in order for me to do the port with a tolerable amount of effort, I would get FreeBSD running on one of my machines so that I could generate the CMU-Lisp core images to feed to the Linux machine during the port. This was reasonable, however, it took me a while to get around to getting FreeBSD up; you know, getting a CD, logistical stuff. Getting BSD going was _really_ easy. In fact, I found FreeBSD to be VERY stable, well packaged, and it has a LOT of stuff that I was missing with Linux. After running Linux for over a year, I ditched it from 2 of my three machines, the notebook is next. I really don't have any desire to touch Linux again. Not that it is intrinsically bad, but FreeBSD is much better. Linux was a pain in the ass. I have been strongly recommending FreeBSD, and have been discouraging Linux lately. Since I've been running FreeBSD, I've gotten a lot more productive work done than all the time during Linux. I make the same recommendation to you. Forget about Linux. Try to convince your system guys of the same. You will be able to work in peace, as opposed to running into system roadblocks. I was always forced to run beta kernels because some 'this' or 'that' was missing or didn't work right. It's a crappy way to work. At the risk of going too long, Linux can be made to work, but for a programmer (more especially like me, a networking admin/coder), it can be a nightmare. FreeBSD benefits from BSD having been around for, what, 15 years. Sorry for the extended soap-box. The simple answer is that I don't have any plans to do any more work with Linux. This includes the CMU-Lisp port.

I have a Pentium 133Mhz system with 32MB of RAM, and an IDE CDROM Drive + Adaptec 2940UW + Quantum Atlas XP32150W. FreeBSD 2.1 (walnut creek CDROM) for software. When i do the install, everything works fine, until i go to boot the system from the Hard Drive, at which point i get an F? which will take no input. Reading the Running FreeBSD book, a suggestion is made that the disk geometry is not correct, and that i need to change it in the FDisk program. A call to quantum gave me the following values for cyl/hd/sect (3852/10/109) The Fdisk program refuses to take these values, and insists on replacing it with 2050/64/32. Finally, my questions. Is the Adaptec 2940UW correctly supported by 2.1? Are the cyl/hd/sect values that i have correct? Has anyone made this combo work? Any and all help will be appreciated.

When you call usleep(), you tell the machine to voluntarily prempt your process pending a wakeup event. When the wakeup occurs, your process sits at the front of the ready to run queue because of the rtprio (behind any "higher priority" RT processes). When you voluntarily cede the processor, you are only guaranteed to run the next time the ready to run queue is checked. This will not include any time up to 9999 uS (9.999 mS), before your process is back on the run queue. If the process that runs following your process ceding the processor takes up 9.998 ms, then another process will be pulled off the ready to run queue before your process is inserted at the queue head. Effectively, this means that the other process can run up to its full process qunatum (20ms) before it is involuntarily preeempted by the timer (what used to be called LBOLT, and what *I* still call LBOLT). Effectively, this means your wait will be: 10,000uS (min) - 29,999uS (max). Which is whatever delay you ask for plus one process quantum. This is because there is no concept of kernel multithreading and therfore no concept of kernel preemption; thus when your timer expires, the non-"RT" process running at the time is not involuntarily context switched out in favor of your "RT" process. Part of this is just kernel programming that hasn't been done, and part of it is the basically bogus timer code that would allow for an RT oneshot event to cause preemption: the system clock uses the high resoloution interrupt timer, so it's not free for use for a one-shot. To fix this, HZ would need to go to 64 (or, according to some people, the off-board RTC's can go to 128), freeing the system clock for a reschedulable one-shot with queue pending decrements and time-ordered insertion. None of this helps for *real* deadlining, which needs to include the run time and the queue adjust time (varies on number of queue entries) for the one-shot. Even then, scheduling would need to subtract out the time to execute from the interval time to give you *real* RT capability -- so you would need to predict code path, probably by definiting a two stage scheduler for the oneshot and then scheduling again based on the event ID do that all events deadline to the same time. That would actually be a user space RT event handler issue.

Typically this is only for DCD/DTR processing, though because of FIFO's, this could be done on *input* processing on UART's as well. Potentially, if it's an input case, you could disable FIFO'ing and replace it with "get interrupt ... poll like hell until 10ms of no activity". This is sort of how some of the old BerkNet transport level code worked in earlier SunOS versions. I don't recommend it.

I wasn't sure that the 2.1-RELEASE supported the 2940 Ultra series. I guess it does since you've gotten as far as you have. If you have extended translation enabled in SCSI Select Utilites, then you want the geometry to be 255 heads and 63 sectors. Otherwise, the 64/32 heads/sectors is correct. FreeBSD can't determine the disk geometry unless there is already a partition on the drive. A simple method of ensuring correct geometry is to make a small DOS partition on the drive and then boot FreeBSD using the install disks. You can delete the DOS partition if you don't want it from within the partition editor during the install. You'll want to upgrade to FreeBSD-stable as soon as you can because there were some bug fixes made to the aic7xxx driver.

If you just want everything going to one person, add the hostnames to the `Cw' line in /etc/sendmail.cf and restart your mail daemon. They should be space delimited, so you'll end up with a line like: Cwlocalhost xxx.foo.bar yyy.foo.bar www.foo.bar and so on.

There is, I believe, a ulimit command as well for more recent FreeBSDs that will run under sh (so that when you do your inn startup, you can call it and change the limits to their max values). If not, you can always spawn csh and run from there. This is what I would guess your problem is. bryan > > I'm running FreeBSD-2.1 STABLE with MAXUSERS (in the kernel) set to 64.

If you want to know if the atapi install has a remote possibility of working, give it a shot. In some cases it may be necessary to put -c on the Boot: prompt to make sure wdc1 is set properly, but other than that it may work. The easiest install methods in order IMHO: 1) CDROM (SCSI preferred) 2) FTP 3) NFS 4) Floppies 5) DOS Your order may vary. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 6 19:57:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA03650 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 May 1996 19:57:34 -0700 (PDT) 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 TAA03619 for ; Mon, 6 May 1996 19:57:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id UAA28612; Mon, 6 May 1996 20:01:10 -0700 Date: Mon, 6 May 1996 20:01:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Wayne Tamagi cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: boot up problem In-Reply-To: <1.5.4.32.19960505001507.006c8acc@pop.unixg.ubc.ca> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 4 May 1996, Wayne Tamagi wrote: > >>FreeBSD Boot... > Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed > etc... > > My computer would just hang and I can see the hard drive is running > constantly (red light on front is on). Can anyone advise me what I can do? Try making a small DOS partition on that disk, then install. You can erase the DOS partition in the fdisk editor if you don't want it. The DOS parition will telegraph the proper geometry to FreeBSD.

Was your ethernet card detected during the boot sequence? Watch the kernel messages for your driver type. If you don't see it (or it says "not found"), then put -c on the Boot: prompt and configure the proper settings for your card with the proper driver.

If there is a Cisco router between the two of you, you may be able to convince your network admins to switch on multicast on it, so it'll work without further modification. Otherwise you may have to build a tunnel. I would suggest consulting your network admins before building any tunnels, though.

At the bootup manager when I enter F2 it did not go to: [deleted] Try making a small DOS partition on the disk, then install FreeBSD, deleting the DOS partition in the process if you do not want it. FreeBSD will grab the geometry it wants from that.

The key is the order in which you turn on the devices. If I remember correctly, you want to turn on the external _first_, wait for it to spin up, then turn on the CPU. I think the problem you're running into is that the device isn't ready by the time FreeBSD gets to it. Perhaps tweaking SCSI_DELAY may help.

Try setting it to your Win95 partition with DOS FDISK. 2) Wrong geometry. Try putting a small DOS partition on the second disk, then install FreeBSD over it, deleting it in the process if you don't want it.

There are bus mice out there too that are similiar in plug but different in interface. Where does Win95 report detecting the mouse at? You may need to tweak the psm0 settings.

Try connecting manually with the 'term' command, then dial & login manually. If that works, then the configuration for your modem in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf is wrong. It may be your modem and your ISP's don't like each other.

But...it doesn't...because FreeBSD is on my second SCSI drive; and hd(2,a)/kernel as you probably already know will just force a pull from sd(0,a). I can't really go into it but I have to keep the drives configured this way for NT/95 issues (its a long story). So, I would love to do some hacking of the code, but the only problem is, I need to get into FreeBSD to do the hacking. And up until this point, this has been an impossibility. Any guidance would be much appreciated (as painless as possible of course - if it is possible). Also, I have been e-mailed that there are some fixes to this where one can type (for example) 3:sd(1,a)/kernel which means 3rd drive, second on the SCSI chain. If this is available, how can I get a boot floppy (boot.flp) with this on it? Remember, at this point I can't even compile.

Michael, Thanks for the insight. hd(1,a)/kernel won't work because it forces a pull of sd(0,a) and I need sd(1,a) (which also says that and input of hd(n,a) with n being a number only pulls sd(0,a)). I can't really get into it, but FreeBSD needs to remain on my second SCSI. There is no doubt that the IDE is swallowing (0x80) and therefore killing the synch on the drives. I would love to hack the code, but I can't even get into FreeBSD to begin with in order to compile the code. If you can guide me in a work around or even point me to where there may be a fix. I am told in some -current bootstrap version, there is a fix that allows you to specify 3:sd(1,a) which means 3rd drive and the second on the SCSI chain. This I believe would solve all of my troubles. If there is another direction, please let me know. Thanks again for the help.

Unfortuantel the disk has Windoze95 installed and I'm not allowed to trash it :-( I used fips to chop off a 255meg partition for BSD. After a bit of mucking around with IRG settings etc BSD refuses to create slices. It says "Unable to swap to /dev/wd0s2b: Device not configured". Then in the debug it says newfs: /dev/rwd0a: 'a' partition is unavailable. The only IRQ settings I changed was setting ed0 to IRQ 10 I/O 300 (by booting with the -c option). I tried to run fips again...just to see if that would help (well I thought it might be worth a try) and when I type fips -t it says "Checking Rootsector .... Error: Partition Table Corrupt - end: partition 1" When we ran fips initially we asked for a backup and I assume its the file A:\rootboot.000. Assuming we need to restore the partition table from the disk how do we go about it...I couldn't find any instructions for fips. Any help would be appreciated.

I however want to get it right now and don't want to do it all again in 2 months. --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ UUNet-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 7 05:37:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id FAA04062 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 May 1996 05:37:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bigdog.fred.net (bigdog.fred.net [204.215.84.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA04056 for ; Tue, 7 May 1996 05:37:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from huang@localhost) by bigdog.fred.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id IAA05249; Tue, 7 May 1996 08:39:15 -0400 Date: Tue, 7 May 1996 08:39:14 -0400 (EDT) From: World Travel To: questions@freebsd.org cc: huang@fred.net Subject: comtrol rocketport32 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, First I would like to thank thoes that answered my compile problem. Now I have a bigger problem. I would love to use the freebsd but I can not find a port for the Comtrol rocketport32 for freebsd. I see they make one for bsdi. I can not afford to buy another modem interface so if anyone knows of a driver for rocketport32 or how to use the bsd1 into freebsd it would be a great help to me. If not I will have to go back to Linux and I don't really want too.

There's a couple. the 'doc' application from the 'iv' port does it, but I don't know that I'd recommend it, because iv is _huge_ (unless you need a neat C++ graphics/gui library) the size isn't justified. If you have tex installed (say from the ports teTeX distribution) then noname (yeah, it's called noname) does print postscript, and it's WYSIWYG. noname requires Motif, but there's a statically compiled version on wcarchive.cdrom.com, in pub/FreeBSD/incoming. > > Richard > > ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.

Really, the cable cost > isn't that high, more than made up for by not needing a hub. Beings that I have had to recable a fair number of departments that used to use 10b2 I have to answer this :) 10b2 is 1: less reliable than 10bT in the fact that at any given time one of those silly little connectors could just decide to slip off. 2: It tends to become saturated more quickly even on a net with less traffic that its able to handle. 3: Due to the looping nature of 10b2 you're likely to find many more collision on a 10b2 network and finally 4: Its a pain in the ass :) Once you've designed and laid out your 10b2 network you're pretty well stuck in that configuration if you have say more than 2 or 3 hosts. You can add more and more hosts but eventually you'll have cable strung out across everywhere. 10bT not only gives you more bandwidth across the ether but allows for a clean layout and design. rather than having to loop everything around you'll find a small hub is makes for a nicer and more efficient method.

Heilman) Subject: Re: PANIC: Cannot mount root Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I'm also having a slight problem getting the default boot sequence (using BootEasy) to work properly. I believe it is directly related to this topic. System Info ----------- Magitronic 486DX2-80 (GA-486VS motherboard), 16MB RAM 520MB IDE hard drive (504MB formatted - all DOS, BootEasy installed) Adaptec AHA-1542CP SCSI controller Conner 1.08 GB SCSI hard drive (CFP1080S), SCSI ID: 0 (20MB DOS partition on sd0s1, remaining is FreeBSD on sd0s2) Boot Sequence 1 Boot Sequence 2 --------------- --------------- F1...dos F1...dos F5...disk 2 F5...disk 2 Default: F5 Default: F5 F1...dos F1...dos F2...BSD F2...BSD F5...disk1 F5...disk1 Default: F2 Default: F2 Boot: Boot:hd(1,a)/kernel Booting sd(1,a)/kernel 0x100000 Booting sd(0,a)/kernel 0x100000 ... ... changing root device to sd1a successful boot panic: cannot mount root As you can see, if I enter hd(1,a)/kernel at the Boot prompt, it finds the correct root partition, but if I let it default, it incorrectly attempts to use sd1a as the root partition. What is the EASIEST way to fix this so it defaults to the proper partition? Here's what I tried that DID NOT work: - changed DOS partition on sd0s1 from primary to extended - deleted DOS partition on sd0s1 (but didn't reinstall FreeBSD) In a prior related message (Subject: Re: PANIC: Cannot mount root): At 09:49 05/05/96, Michael Smith wrote: >Jeff Genender stands accused of saying: >> >> The problem is, I can install FreeBSD without any problem.

I've been trying to install the FreeBSD for a week or so, but I've been having a lot of troubles to do it, so I had to mail you and ask for help. I got some help frm a friend of mine. He told me how to get the first steps to install the Operative System, but I'm really stucked with something. I have a ethernet link and I'm netted (to internet) with that ethernet card. My friend told me to get a file named boot.flp and another one called rawrite.exe I got those files into a floppy and I'm booting the computer with that floppy. After I do that, I get the menu to install the BSD and everything seems to be ok. Then I get the ftp option to install the BSD, but by the time the computer gets to actually get the files by using the ftp, the computer just can't find any address to do it. Not ftp.freebsd.org and not another one. I did a ping to the address that it's supposed to be running on the computer and there is no answer from it. So I guess that there is something wrong at the time the boot.flp tries to GET those files. My friend told me to 'rawrite' the boot.flp file and that's the way I did it... I have that floppy here and I've been trying to install the BSD for a while (about 20 times) but I always get stucked at the same point. Thanks a lot for your help.

Somehow, these files are not all queued in the remote queue. Of course we have plenty of space and we set the mx value to 0. When we stop the lpd on the originating system we see that every file gets queued correctly. After we start the lpd again, we see that after a random number of files, the rest of the files seem to be skipped. The total space in the queue is arond 50MB. This happens both when the remote printer is hanging of a 2.1.0 system vai the parallel port as well as with a printer with ethernet card and built in lpd. I therefor suspect the originating side.

That's how I first installed FreeBSD years ago. You don't even need 1GB of DOS space. Instead, you could just copy the essential distributions to your DOS slice and then install.

If it doesn't work during the install, it probably won't work once you're up and running. What kind of CD-ROM is the Teac CD-55a? If it's on a Mitsumi or SCSI connector, you probably can use it immediately, so you should install from it directly rather than from DOS. If that's the case, let's try to figure out what the problem might be. If it's an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM, then it might work, but it might not, due to the unstable nature of the IDE CD-ROM software driver and the fact that there's so much variation in IDE CD-ROM hardware. Anyway, if it is IDE, try to find a relative recent version of atapi.flp that you can use in place of boot.flp.

However, snaking coax hither and yon is enough of a pain that 10BT is looking real good, even with the added expense (I'd probably get an 8-port hub and not a cheap 5-port one, just for future expansion ;-). However, with 10BT, you do have to plan out how many PC's will go into a room, as it's a pain to (for example) add a second PC to a room if you only have one 10BT cable coming out of the wall ....

You need the kernel source (or at least one critical part of it, but I don't know offhand what other dependencies there may be). in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/Makefile add: CFLAGS+= -DBOOT_HD Then make Then (as root) make install disklabel -B sd0 Then reboot. (Note: This does *not* work with FreeBSD-current, nor does -DBOOT_HD_BIAS=1, contrary to what the documentation says.

Not much has been done to the kernel imgact_*.c code for ages, apart from bugfixes and new loaders (gzip, elf). Certainly nothing to prevent 2.0 programs working if you have the relevant shlibs, or if they are static, just the right loader in the kernel.

No users can log in to the machine. Here is what happened. I was trying to fix a problem with some file rights. Someone changed the ownership of all of the files and directories under /home I cd'ed to a directory "/temp". I was going to try to use chown in each users directory and assign the correct owners. (in /temp there are a couple of directories beneath it.) In /temp as root, I typed the following ... chown -R test .* I was trying to change the ownership of all of the .* in /temp and the directories below it to a user named test. It was taking to long so I suppend the process. Most of the dirs and files off the root directory are now owned by the user test. Some how chown went down the dir tree and back up it. There are no links in /temp. Did the ".*" cause chown to change the ownership to the ".."directory, causing the change off the root dir? After the change in the ownership of those files. No one can log in. I am logged in right now as a normal user. I can not change any of the ownerships. After the chown command I exited "su", which was a very stupid mistake. So now, no one can log in and I have no idea what to do. How can I fix this problem? Someone please respond to this. David Brockus Please send replies directly to me. I can not receive the freebsd questions list right now. Thanks.

I usually choose the "visual" option since I am not the guru everyone else here is. Find the entry corresponding to your ethernet card and set the parameters for it...IRQ, Base address and so on. Save your changes and continue to boot. Hopefully, if you watch the device probing, you will see your ethernet card get detected. Hope this helps.

Browsing the manual, it seens to have the same sintax for all files, so I think it's not a port problem. I've heard about VJ compression errors in FreeBSD-stable, does this aply to 2.1.0 ?

Right now, I have 32MB of EDO Ram that came with the system. I want to add two 8MB 72 pin SIMMs, to bring the total to 48MB Is it really necessary to get EDO? I have heard that EDO is really just a gimmick, and that any performance gain is small - but the price difference is huge. Also, parity or non-parity? And is 70ns acceptable speed, or is 60ns standard now? Finally, I understand that I need to recompile the kernel so that it may access over 32 MB of Ram, is this correct?

I am looking for a reasonably fast drive that can store at least 500MB and is the least expensive as possible. I will let the word 'reasonably' be defined by you since you're the expert. Drives with capacity 1GB or more are interesting to me if you feel the price is reasonable for personal use on a typical personal budget.

I dunno. Noname is _very_ linked to TeX. It isn't within light years of a real word processor, but it's useable. On the other hand, I do most of my writing using groff, so maybe you're asking the wrong type of person. Honestly, you ought to go give it a try. It's the best I've seen, of free software, so that should give you an idea of what kind of stuff is out there. The doc application (from Interviews) is nearly TeX, with just enough changes to make it incompatible (why?). A long while back I tried to use Andrew, but it was so incredibly large, and not any more friendly. It worked on something like rich text format.

You have an odd enough situation that the driver may not be able to handle it. Try moving your 1.2gb to the slave on wdc0 (ide 0) and put the CDROMs on their own controller.

If you want to run only one operating system, then you can remove the Boot Manager too. Otherwise, how are you going to boot the other operating system(s)?

Put '-c' on the Boot: prompt and make sure the settings are correct for your ethernet card. 2) YOu did not enter the correct information into the ifconfig dialog box. Check your values and try again. 3) Can another computer on the same net reach ftp.freebsd.org while you are installing? Your net link may have gone down or may be two slow.

There aren't any VJ compression errors in -stable and there never were. There was a bugfix that prevents kernel memory corruption when certain garbage packets are received, but VJ compression itself works fine.

I had one and dumped it for a SCSI CDROM. If it is ATAPI, then use ATAPI.FLP and it should work. To answer your question, yes, you xcopy the directories to your DOS partition, and install will pick them up. You'll have to install the ports and packages yourself, but that is no problem. I highly suggest reading the instructions in the leaflet on the inside cover of the cdrom jewel case for instructions on performing a DOS install. It may be in INSTALL.TXT on the CD too, I'm not sure.

I drove 70 miles and back one afternoon because the secretarial pool decided that they needed to rearrange their desks. They neglected to unplug the coax first. At the time, the company I worked for charged $90/hr for onsite service. I was onsite when I left the office. :) Its much easier if the computer plugs into the wall like the telephone.

This gave me one for the phones, 1 for ethernet and 2 for expansion. 3 months later I ran out of ethernet outlets. I've got a cheap 8 port hub in my office that has a crossover cable to the wall.

I have tried to use ppp, dip, tip, cu... and none of these programs would let me dial out. for example: I use dip -tv and set the port to /dev/cuaa1 after that it shows some configs on that port. As soon as I type in term, the machine could not talk to the modem. (I've check the modem, it was on com 2 and irq 3 and it is working under dos) am I doing something wrong?? do I need to config the modem first?? I have use demesg | grep sio to check the setting on my serial ports, it seems working ok... I would appreaciate if you can give me any insight in sloving this problem. Thank you very much.

Yes, I have the same problem with an Atlas XP32150 and the Adaptex 1742A. The reason is the cache of the Atlas and the "slow" Adaptec. When the disc gets the blocks out of the cache, it's too fast for the controller and locks the SCSI-bus cause the first bytes are lost. The solution of this is to edit the mode page of the Atlas (getting this information cousts me 3 days of hard search in the newsgroups). So do the following: - get the dsp programm for dos to edit the scsi mode pages (you can get it from my anonymous ftp server). - edit the vendor specific mode page 0x25 (hex) - you get a byte-stream of 24 00 10 08 ..... a5 17 00 00 00 00 05 02 00 .... ^ ^ | Byte 0x05 Begin of Page (byte 0x0) - change the byte 0x05 (set bit 3) to 0x08 this enables a 15 mys delay for blocks out of the cache. - all runs fine! - NOTE: all the above fits for a 2 GB Atlas, but should also work for the 4 GB version. Be happy about this fast harddrive. Please e-mail on success.

I want to run FreeBSD on one hard drive (the one with the overlay installed) and DOS on another hard drive (less than 400mb, so no overlay needed). I don't need a boot manager (although it would be nice). If I understand this correctly, what I should do is zap everything, remove all partitions, create a dos partition and install Win95 on it and then install FreeBSD. Then I will get the boot manager. --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ UUNet-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 8 01:50:36 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA11868 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 May 1996 01:50:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA11856 for ; Wed, 8 May 1996 01:50:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ki1.chemie.fu-berlin.de (ki1.Chemie.FU-Berlin.DE [160.45.24.21]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id BAA08979 for ; Wed, 8 May 1996 01:50:20 -0700 Received: by ki1.chemie.fu-berlin.de (Smail3.1.28.1) from mail.hanse.de (193.174.9.9) with smtp id ; Wed, 8 May 96 10:50 MEST Received: from wavehh.UUCP by mail.hanse.de with UUCP for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org id ; Tue, 7 May 96 21:24 MET DST Received: by wavehh.hanse.de (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA14593; Tue, 7 May 96 21:22:54 +0200 From: cracauer@wavehh.hanse.de (Martin Cracauer) Message-Id: <9605071922.AA14593@wavehh.hanse.de> Subject: Re: Differents between FreeBSD and NetBSD To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 7 May 1996 21:22:53 +0200 (MET DST) Reply-To: cracauer@wavehh.hanse.de X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk grog@lemis.DE (Greg Lehey) wrote: >Martin Cracauer has done a web page on the differences between FreeBSD >and NetBSD.

You might be interested to know that BusLogic has a trade-in program for the FlashPoint cards. You can upgrade to the BT-948 for about $45 US. This was generated by a lot of complaints by Linux users and the author of the Linux BusLogic driver (Leonard Zubkoff). I'll post the README.FlashPoint from the Linux kernel distribution below: Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNOUNCEMENT BusLogic FlashPoint/BT-948 Upgrade Program 1 February 1996 Ever since its introduction last October, the BusLogic FlashPoint LT has been problematic for members of the Linux community, in that no Linux drivers have been available for this new Ultra SCSI product. Despite it's officially being positioned as a desktop workstation product, and not being particularly well suited for a high performance multitasking operating system like Linux, the FlashPoint LT has been touted by computer system vendors as the latest thing, and has been sold even on many of their high end systems, to the exclusion of the older MultiMaster products. This has caused grief for many people who inadvertently purchased a system expecting that all BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters were supported by Linux, only to discover that the FlashPoint was not supported and would not be for quite some time, if ever. After this problem was identified, BusLogic contacted its major OEM customers to make sure the BT-946C/956C MultiMaster cards would still be made available, and that Linux users who mistakenly ordered systems with the FlashPoint would be able to upgrade to the BT-946C. While this helped many purchasers of new systems, it was only a partial solution to the overall problem of FlashPoint support for Linux users. It did nothing to assist the people who initially purchased a FlashPoint for a supported operating system and then later decided to run Linux, or those who had ended up with a FlashPoint LT, believing it was supported, and were unable to return it. In the middle of December, I asked to meet with BusLogic's senior management to discuss the issues related to Linux and free software support for the FlashPoint. Rumors of varying accuracy had been circulating publicly about BusLogic's attitude toward the Linux community, and I felt it was best that these issues be addressed directly. I sent an email message after 11pm one evening, and the meeting took place the next afternoon. Unfortunately, corporate wheels sometimes grind slowly, especially when a company is being acquired, and so it's taken until now before the details were completely determined and a public statement could be made. BusLogic is not prepared at this time to release the information necessary for third parties to write drivers for the FlashPoint. The only existing FlashPoint drivers have been written directly by BusLogic Engineering, and there is no FlashPoint documentation sufficiently detailed to allow outside developers to write a driver without substantial assistance. While there are people at BusLogic who would rather not release the details of the FlashPoint architecture at all, that debate has not yet been settled either way. In any event, even if documentation were available today it would take quite a while for a usable driver to be written, especially since I'm not convinced that the effort required would be worthwhile. However, BusLogic does remain committed to providing a high performance SCSI solution for the Linux community, and does not want to see anyone left unable to run Linux because they have a Flashpoint LT. Therefore, BusLogic has put in place a direct upgrade program to allow any Linux user worldwide to trade in their FlashPoint LT for the new BT-948 MultiMaster PCI Ultra SCSI Host Adapter. The BT-948 is the Ultra SCSI successor to the BT-946C and has all the best features of both the BT-946C and FlashPoint LT, including smart termination and a flash PROM for easy firmware updates, and is of course compatible with the present Linux driver. The price for this upgrade has been set at US $45, and the upgrade program will be administered through BusLogic Technical Support, which can be reached by electronic mail at techsup@buslogic.com, by Voice at +1 408 654-0760, or by FAX at +1 408 492-1542. I was a beta test site for the BT-948 and versions 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 of my BusLogic driver already include latent support for the BT-948. Additional cosmetic support for the Ultra SCSI MultiMaster cards will be added in a subsequent release. As a result of this cooperative testing process, several firmware bugs were found and corrected (make sure you have firmware version 5.05R or later). My heavily loaded Linux test system provided an ideal environment for testing error recovery processes that are much more rarely exercised in production systems, but are crucial to overall system stability. It was especially convenient being able to work directly with their firmware engineer in demonstrating the problems under control of the firmware debugging environment; things sure have come a long way since the last time I worked on firmware for an embedded system. I am presently working on some performance testing and expect to have some data to report in the not too distant future. BusLogic asked me to send this announcement since a large percentage of the questions regarding support for the FlashPoint have either been sent to me directly via email, or have appeared in the Linux newsgroups in which I participate.

I successfully installed 2.1 from the Walnut Creek CDRom onto an Apricot with onboard 7770. Encouraged by this, I tried installation onto an HP Netserver LM with the same SCSI controller. It finds & reports the controller but fails while probing the drives. (I have a 2Gb HD on 0, DAT on 2, CDRom on 5 with Channel A as primary -- although I've tried different combinations). I'm sure there's a fix out there, but we don't have full internet access here so it's difficult to get the most recent stable source. Is there something I can do about this? Hopefully this isn't a too tedious question.

Two suggestions... One if you have good backups ( you DO have good backups ;-), boot from a floppy, and run a restore from your tapes. Other suggestion is to boot from a floppy, copy off your /etc/ directory , and re-install your system. Finding all the files and changing them to the proper ownerships and permissions is a real PITA, I have tried this before by writing a perl script that compares to the mounted 'filesystem' cdrom and makes the changes... but this is slow and not garuenteed to fix all the problems as in configuring the system you tend to make lots of changes. In both instances you will probably need the 'fixit' floppy to have available all the various tools necessary.

I can't comment about 'noname' but I've been playing with 'lyx', and I'm quite impressed! It's a very usable almost-WYSIWYG front end to LaTeX, complete with support for previewing via xdvi and ghostview, spell-checking with ispell, multilingual support, and linuxdoc SGML generation. For info, see http://www.lehigh.edu/~dlj0/LyriX.html To get it going, I installed the latex package, a newer version of the Xforms library, and the 'babel' latex extension (ftp'd from CTAN). I also installed the linuxdoc distrib (http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/Linuxdoc-SGML.html), which compiled fine once I removed signal 9 from the trap commands in the included shell scripts, and installed the flex package. Anyhow, I now have a very nice word proc which does nice (latex quality) printing, and an easy route to generating HTML equivilants (via linuxdoc). --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 8 06:14:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA18622 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 May 1996 06:14:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from obelix.cica.es (obelix.cica.es [150.214.1.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA17766 for ; Wed, 8 May 1996 06:06:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from amora@localhost) by obelix.cica.es (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA04660; Wed, 8 May 1996 15:00:39 +0200 (GMT-2:00) From: "Jesus A.

I have contacted with Soren Schmidt, as you suggested. He replied: } Hmm, The iBCS2 emulator that Sean & I wrote has been replaced with a } hacked up version of the NetBSD iBCS2 emulator, so there is no } (official) fixes to your problems other than installing FreeBSD-current } and trying out the new emulator. I suggest you contact swallace@FreeBSD.org } as it is his baby now :) So further discussion about this trouble is of no use, until I try the new emulator. I have asked Jordan for the SNAP CD-ROM announced some time ago and maybe I'll give it a chance. Otherwise, I'll wait for the regular subscription CD-ROM. Nevertheless, some final comments, just for fun: > Use an SCO copy of GDB instead, of course. It will understand COFF, and > since we can run it under IBCS2, it will run. Hmm... SCO is not smart enough to include `gdb'. It uses `adb' (an assembler-only debugger, for hard-cored hackers) and `sdb' (a symbolic debugger lightyears behind gdb). Well I can get both of them, but how should you trace the sqlexec process? If you run it standalone it simply exits. To make its work, I guess, it must be child of a process that previously has set up an IPC mechanism -I think it's a pipe for sqlexec, shared memory for other DBM engines-. You can debug a running process in FreeBSD with GDB, but I am not aware that `sbd' can do that. I should better read the sdb manpage. By the way: can gdb be recompiled in order to understand COFF binaries under FreeBSD? Would it work at all? > This would require an SCO system to test; sorry, I don't have one. Nor I do, and no intention of installing forty diskettes. Also, I have browsed old docs and can now confirm you that SCO Unix -I'm always talking about SVR3 versions- doesn't have a lstat(2) syscall: in fact, symbolic links were introduced in SVR4 -AT&T was never very innovative-. > The bad thing is, BSD would need to support the Xenix 386 sysi86() > call to support running 286emul as a 386 Xenix app. > > I have a licensed version of Xenix 386 somewhere, actually, so a > loader wouldn't be too hard to build.

I wonder how many people is still running that venerable stuff out there. Not many, I guess. So, let's forget about this. >> IBCS2: 'sysi86' function 104(0x68) not implemented yet >> IBCS2: 'sysi86' function 100(0x64) not implemented yet Just FYI, I've seen and function 104 (SI86CHIDT) is described "set user level int 0xf0, ... 0xff handlers", and function 100 (SI86SHFIL) is "map a file into addr space of a proc". > System call tables are referenced indirectly through the proc struct, > so each process can, theoretically, be running using a different ABI > compatability. Not that anyone would need to do this. A very nice solution. I have asked Jordan whether a guide to kernel inner workings and design is projected. I am VERY interested in this subject. I got the book about 4.3 BSD [Leffler, McKusick et al.] many years ago, and is out of date when compared to FreeBSD. So many thanks for this discussion, Terry.

There are 3 files: noname-1.05p2.README README file -- he explains the new name. LyriX-1.05p2_src.tar.gz full sources. This requires Motif to compile (Motif isn't free). noname-1.05p2.tar.gz statically compiled version, ready to run. If you want to get the stically compiled version, you have to download all three files (you need some stuff fromt he sources to get it to work). At least for me, I have always had to have the file noname.sty in any directory I was working in, in order to get this to work. ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.

He renamed it. Get the noname README from > wcarchive.cdrom.com, /pub/FreeBSD/incoming. I know that the URL in my message ends with LyriX.html, but the document itself is about the product "LyX". Its written by Matthias Ettrich, with contributions from others. These developers are coming out with new releases all of the time (ftp://ftp.via.ecp.fr/pub/lyx/devel/), with the latest carrying versions number like 0.9.x . I'm running 0.8.6 which is supposedly the current "stable" release. The impression that I get is that this is not the same thing as the LyriX to which you refer. FYI, I'm in the process of modifing LyX and the FreeBSD-supplied sgmlfmt to work together, so I can get FreeBSD-style DTD html pages instead of what the stock linuxdoc DTD produces. --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 8 07:58:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA04837 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 May 1996 07:58:41 -0700 (PDT) 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 HAA04826 for ; Wed, 8 May 1996 07:58:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA10811; Wed, 8 May 1996 10:58:30 -0400 Date: Wed, 8 May 1996 10:58:30 -0400 From: Garrett Wollman Message-Id: <9605081458.AA10811@halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu> To: Michael Smith Cc: blh@nol.net (Brett L.

CTRL+ALT+DELETE on the console should do it---but if you have that feature disabled, run the command `sync' three times and hit the reset button. Then, boot up as single user. At the boot: prompt, type hd(0,a)/kernel -s to do that. It might not work with the permissions all wrong ... but it just might! If it does, the best way to proceed is to restore from backup tape. This way, you won't have to worry about what the correct owner is for all those various files. If you haven't been taking backups, then you could try to change the ownerships of every single file by hand. I could even email you a script of commands that should restore the permissions of the base installation files, but be warned that I'm running 2.1 and not 2.0.5. Yet another option is to upgrade your 2.0.5 installation to 2.1. Then, just the users' home directories permissions need to be fixed. In any case, good luck.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok....here's what I know....the problem is still here, but we may be targetting in on the actual problem now. First, by "login problem" I mean this: you enter your username, you enter your passwd, it says "Login incorrect". That's all. If you use rlogin from an account w/ same username as account on the FreeBSD machine, you get all the way in, execept it dies with some sort of error (I didn't get to see this first-hand...one of my assistants tried this) about failing to execute the shell. You also get a setlogin() error. Ok....at boot-up time this error occurs: NOQUEUE: SYSERR (root): getrequests: cannot bind: Permission denied problem creating SMTP socket This is all in reference to starting sendmail, which does not start. You can ftp into the machine (non-anon, we don't support anon). You can login from the x-console. You cannot login from any other terms, including any of the other 3 virtual consoles. pstat -T says: 100/552 files 1050 vnodes 4M/43M swap space I have no clue what this means, but somebody asked. At this point, I do not think it has anything to do with shared libraries, the passwd/master.passwd file(s), or the databases. However, something does seem to be wrong with permissions in certain places, etc. Someone asked if getty was running -- the answer is "Yes and No." getty is running for two specific tty's, which weren't the tty's I was attached to when I was logged-in and looking. However, there is no other tty than that. A better explanation is this...I'll show you a ps -ax. You will note that most of the stuff is x-console related as that is the only place to login from. The three getty's running are for the virtual consoles, yet you cannot login from them. named does not seem to be running, but it has not been running from the very beginning.

But, then I ask myself, what are the permissions on most files in that directory??? I dunno if they are right. Oh, btw, I have two files, /dev/rsd0.ctl and /dev/rsd1.ctl. Each one is supposedly 536MB in size, yes I only have a 800MB hard drive. Hello?!? What's up with that??? This is a summary of the many problems I am encountering. Any suggestions will be accepted gratefully. I need to get this machine up and running in a stable state as we hope to use it next Fall for many things, and we must have a reliable machine for those functions.

They do have a deal where you can upgrade to a different controller for $45. I can't find any of the information on it right now, but if you were to contact Buslogic and actually get ahold of a human they might know what to do.

I'm not 100% sure if FreeBSD can access the whole disk if you take off the overlay, though. My sentiment is yes, it will work; but I haven't used FreeBSD on any machines with overlays (since all my machines work OK). I'm under the impression that it won't be needed, since a friend of mine had an 800MB IDE on a fbsd box and it didn't have an overlay (but I was never around to watch it boot). > I want to run FreeBSD on one hard drive (the one with the overlay installed) > and DOS on another hard drive (less than 400mb, so no overlay needed).

If you have any recommendations or comments to any of these questions, please respond. I'm building a new PCI system. I'm worried about the compatibility/performance issues with FreeBSD & Linux. - I'm thinking of using a Cyrix 686 processor (any problems?) and maybe even the future AMD/NexGen Nx686-180 (when it comes out). - Hard Drives / Controllers (this is long!) I'm going to keep a Seagate ST-31200N (1.25GB SCSI-2 Fast) so I'll definately need a SCSI-2 Controller (I'd like a Wide or Ultra-Wide, but a plain SCSI-2 Fast Controller will do). Does anyone have a recommendation for a SCSI-2 controller than will work with FreeBSD and Linux? I know AdvanceSys has a SCSI-2 Fast HA for $99, and I've heard of Buslogic having a UW for $250 (what model number though?). What about the NCR 815/825 (I heard the 810 doesn't have BIOS support). I'm debating whether or not to use the EIDE controllers on board (the SCSI controller will work secondary, of course) with either (2) 2.1GB Seagate or (2) 2.5GB Western Digital PIO Mode 4 EIDE drives. I'm wondering will I have a boot problem if I boot from a cylinder above 1024 (even if the MB BIOS supports the true drive parameters -- i.e. it states the true number of cylinders/heads). Okay, if I go SCSI instead (and not use the EIDE channels), will the SCSI BIOS allow me to boot from a cylinder higher than 1024? What SCSI-2 drives do you recommend (Fast, Wide, UW)? I'd prefer at a 3.5" HH or LP (1") drive with 2-4GB capacity. Also, anyone have any info on the IOmega Jaz and/or SyQuest SyJet drives (no Zip or EZ13t please! Too small). Thanx in advance ...

Have you looked at stty -a < /dev/cuaa1? You may need to adjust the cuala1 port to get the settings you want. (the cuala1 port has the settings for cuaa1; the settings for cuaa1 are reset to cuala1's every time the port is opened.) If you are using ppp, you might issue "show modem" to see what ppp thinks is going on.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear FreeBSD-team, I've just bought the Walnut Creek CDROM 'FreeBSD 2.1 January 1996'. I had some problems when I tried to install it. Please, could you help me? I've made a boot floppy using 'makeflp.bat' since 'install.bat', 'inst_ide.bat' etc. didn't work (EMM386 error). Then I bootet my system and at the 'Boot:' prompt I typed '-c' to configure my hardware. In the visual editor I assigned my serial Logitech mouse - which is connected to Com2 - the same port adress (0x2F8) and Irq (3) as Com2. But the editor said '2 conficts' and so during the installion process my mouse didn't work. Isn't it right to assign the same values to my mouse and the com port it is connected to? (I also tried other com ports but the result was the same!) I used the MS-DOS utility 'msd.exe' to examine the values of my mouse and the com ports so I think that the adresses and Irqs I typed in are ok (MS-DOS and Windows work well with these settings!) Please try to help me! Thank you, Simon o-------------------------------o |Simon Stegmaier | |Kapellaeckerstr. 4 | |73527 Schwaeb.

The newer parallel ports can use the interrupt line whereas the older ones were broken in the hardware. apsfilter will use the serial port to do what you want to do with the postscript printer, but will not do it with the parallel port.

I believe SDB will follow an exec; I know that the coff gdb will, or you can alter the exec argument to send it gdb with the rest as an argument.

If you want it sooner, however, then I'd be glad to ship the pieces (tgz's, diffs, etc.) to someone else to put it together, however, and answer any questions...

Both of which are straight from LINT. Except for the wcd0 line which, of course, has a reference to wdc1. Sorry, I am at work and do not have my kernel conf file handy for exact quotation. But, you get the idea. Pretty generic stuff here. I also have the ATAPI option enabled. The problem is this: At boot time when probes are taking place for wdc1 I get the following: wdc1 not found at 0xblahblah Which, I would take to mean that the secondary EIDE port is not sitting on the default IO port. Now, how would I go about finding what the I/O port address is for my secondary EIDE port? This is an ASUS motherboard and I have done nothing to change any of its default settings. (Except disk geometries) Does anybody have a configuration like this working? Thanks AGAIN!

Compile a custom kernel with 'options KTRACE', and use it to see what's happening. I'll bet it's looking for SCO shlibs, and it's dying because it can't find them. I currently have FreeBSD running a whole bunch of legacy SCO applications which use Informix, but in order to avoid the necessity for SCO shlibs (which kind of defeats the purpose of using FreeBSD) I had to get a special release from Informix which was compiled statically. I'm using Informix 5.07.UC1 w/out any problems with -current. TCP/IP stuff doesn't work very well under -stable. > `sbd' can do that. I should better read the sdb manpage.

Both of which are straight from LINT. Except for the wcd0 line which, of course, has a reference to wdc1. Sorry, I am at work and do not have my kernel conf file handy for exact quotation. But, you get the idea. Pretty generic stuff here. I also have the ATAPI option enabled. The problem is this: At boot time when probes are taking place for wdc1 I get the following: wdc1 not found at 0xblahblah Which, I would take to mean that the secondary EIDE port is not sitting on the default IO port. Now, how would I go about finding what the I/O port address is for my secondary EIDE port? This is an ASUS motherboard and I have done nothing to change any of its default settings. (Except disk geometries) Does anybody have a configuration like this working? Thanks AGAIN!

The login program uses a dynamically linked crypt authentication, whereas the xdm program is (typically) statically linked. So your xdm is using the MD5 or crypt authentication (whichever it was linked with) and your login is using the crypt or MD5 authentication (whichever library was installed last). What this generally means is that you set your passwords, then you installed the security distribution. If you update the login code to the code from -current, it will recognize *either* MD5 or crypt, and then act accordingly. You *could* boot into single user mode, remount the root read/write, and then use "vipw" to remove the root password entirely. Then use passwd to set the root password. After you do this, you will be able to login on the console, but not on xdm (until you replace your xdm). This is described in the handbook on www.freebsd.org. Moral: don't set any passwords until you've installed libcrypt, if you are going to install it.

Since I am a complete newbie with TeX, I had no idea what to do next - so I copied one of the other .sty files as 'babel.sty' and it works, sort of.

I have been using the BusLogic 445C controller with my DX-66 system for the past 2 years. I am now trying to upgrade my system with a new motherboard and processor. The bottom line is that all tries have ended in a situation where the 'post' completes, but the boot hangs where it should be accessing the disc. I have been through 3 motherboards and 2 processors and they all act the same way. ? has anyone used a BT445C at a speed above 66 MHZ? The different components have been a: 'Pine' motherboard (that turned out not to do bus mastering). 'HOT-419' 486 VL-Bus Green Main Board. 2 different AMD Am5x86 -P75 \n AMD-X5-133ADW processors. With each of the possible combinations, I did find that if I disabled the internal cache, occasionally it would boot (even the non-mastering) one. The HOT-419 let me adjust the VLB speed (>33, <33) insert a VLB write wait state, adjust the 'RDY# delay' and the 'ADS#" signal. All to no avail. The response from BusLogic was : >Dear Sir: There have been numerous reports of problems with L1 caching >with some of the 5x86 and AMD chips when using a busmastering controller, >which results in a non-boot situation unless the cache is disabled.

Does this sound reasonable ? What are the odds of two defective AMD processors? ? Should I just get a new SCSI controller? If so what brand and model?

I'd consider a full OS re-install if this machine is of any financial importance to you (or at least a compare against backups -- with some isolated changes). This underscores my desire to have tripwire (or it's equivalent) as part of the basic OS distribution (especially on CD-ROM -- the ideal medium to hold the base -- distribution checksum database).

Hmm. AIX is a bit weird, so you may have some secondary transition problems, but FreeBSD is definitely a good choice for this. There are probably some people on the -questions list with "some" IBM mainframe experience that may be able to help your people adjust.

What's up with that??? /dev/ entries aren't regular files -- they are devices (specifically they are links to devices which allow Unix to treat devices as "files" for purposes of programming abstraction). The sizes reported are not "additive" to the file sizes reported by other files. specifically these are the "raw" nodes (links). There should be corresponding "cooked" links named /dev/sd* If you want to actually find the amount of filesystem space consumed by a set of files use the 'du' command (disk usage report). If you want to know how much space is available on your filesystems use the 'df' command (disk free report). For the most part my advice is to leave the "files" in the /dev and /proc directory trees *alone* until you know much more about them (I leave them alone in any event). *VERY BAD THINGS HAPPEN* if you remove or modify these "files." > > This is a summary of the many problems I am encountering.

It sounds like you did something after the basic install. The FreeBSD 2.1 installations scripts (from the CD at least) would have set all the permissions and file ownership correctly. I'd recommend that you re-install from scratch. You could probably find and surgically fix the couple of problems that you described -- but I'd be really worried of what else was broken (particularly since some of the values of "broken" lead to nasty security problems). > -ben From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 8 19:20:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA25768 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 May 1996 19:20:51 -0700 (PDT) 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 TAA25760 for ; Wed, 8 May 1996 19:20:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id TAA09126; Wed, 8 May 1996 19:22:46 -0700 Date: Wed, 8 May 1996 19:22:46 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: babel@cais.cais.com cc: questions@freebsd.org, babel@cais.com Subject: Re: Install freeBSD In-Reply-To: <199605082146.RAA13347@cais.cais.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 On Wed, 8 May 1996 babel@cais.cais.com wrote: > Have your freeBSD CD-ROM.

No extra configuration is necessary for serial mice, unless for some twisted reason your COM2 settings are different than the standard default. the only thing that makes use of the mouse is Xwindows, and it handles the mouse by itself.

I recently tried upgrading my system from 8 to 20 meg, and in the process, I somehow managed to wipe out the BSD disklabel and parts of BootEasy on my IDE drive while invoking only BootEasy and the FreeBSD boot up to the point of the 'Boot:' prompt. For that matter, if I dare try 20MB again, is there anything I need to reconfigure in the kernel? (Note Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller for second disk: I *will* need bounce buffers above 16MB). The sequence went something like this: - Shut down FreeBSD (at this point running on 8 meg). - Power off machine. - Install new RAM (20MB total) - Power up machine. - BIOS doesn't like memory changes; enter setup and save it. This is more or less expected. RESET. - BIOS counts up 20MB - 384KB of memory. - Let it boot through BootEasy to the FreeBSD boot prompt. FBSD boot sees about 20MB of memory (didn't note exact number). - Oops! Forgot to check BIOS chipset settings. RESET. - Check BIOS settings. Find nothing that needs changing. RESET. - Hmm, BootEasy menu looks funny - missing letters and such. - Press F2 for FreeBSD. Get back BootEasy menu. - Press F1 for DOS. This works. Ran some memory diagnostics, CACHECHK, and Win 3.1. Everything seemed normal. However, every time I use BootEasy, the menu looks more scrambled. - Decide 20MB might be a problem. Power off machine, install 16MB, power up. This process involves removing ALL the RAM, so objections that the problem could have been badly-seated RAM are possible. But the BIOS test, simplistic as it was, passed every time. - Boot from floppy, fix FreeBSD disk label, and reinstall BootEasy. - System is now running well with 16MB (and X is a lot faster). The 16MB memory I had was new, and has been running about a week without problems. The other 4MB was from the 8MB the system has been using for over 3 years without problems.

The "cache_max" is only advisor when the system needs to reclaim memory. There are a few reserved pages that the system must have to avoid deadlocks, but escentially, any free memory is used for file caching. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 9 00:26:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA18252 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 May 1996 00:26:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail0.iij.ad.jp (root@mail0.iij.ad.jp [192.244.176.61]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA18246 for ; Thu, 9 May 1996 00:25:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from uucp1.iij.ad.jp (uucp1.iij.ad.jp [192.244.176.73]) by mail0.iij.ad.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.3W9-MAIL) with ESMTP id QAA16549; Thu, 9 May 1996 16:25:54 +0900 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by uucp1.iij.ad.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.3W9-UUCP) with UUCP id QAA00482; Thu, 9 May 1996 16:25:54 +0900 Received: from xxx.fct.kgc.co.jp by yyy.kgc.co.jp (8.7.5/3.4W:95122611) id QAA11016; Thu, 9 May 1996 16:21:40 +0900 (JST) Received: by xxx.fct.kgc.co.jp (8.6.12/3.3W8:95062916) id QAA28042; Thu, 9 May 1996 16:21:40 +0900 Date: Thu, 9 May 1996 16:21:40 +0900 From: Toshihiro Kanda Message-Id: <199605090721.QAA28042@xxx.fct.kgc.co.jp> To: John Utz Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-reply-to: Subject: Re: ppp -auto and network apps, does it work?

With your configuration (cdrom as master on the secondary port) this patch should solve your problem. The problem is that the probe in wd.c fails with only a cdrom-drive on the 2. port, probably not another port address. Here is my original mail: Last week I got my atapi-cdrom-drive and had some problems with my FreesBSD-2.1R . The kernel detected the drive only as slave on the IDE-port. Unfortunately with this configuration (disk master, cdrom slave) the disk transfer slows down by a factor of 2.

I have added "option COMCONSOLE" to the kernel ( as > mentioned in the LINT config file ) without any success. If you don't install video card, remove console device driver (maybe sc0) from your configuration file. But don't remove `sio0' device. Connect serial cable to sio0 and your `serial console machine' by 9600 bps 8bit. I suggest to try booting with option `-h' first to save your compile time. If you can get console message from your serial terminal, then succeed to rebuild a kernel. candy@fct.kgc.co.jp (Toshihiro Kanda) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 9 01:40:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA29239 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 May 1996 01:40:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ms.anet.cz (ms.anet.cz [194.50.6.67]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA29124 for ; Thu, 9 May 1996 01:39:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from taf7.anet.cz (tad7.anet.cz) by ms.anet.cz with SMTP id AA01359 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Thu, 9 May 1996 10:42:09 +0200 Received: by taf7.anet.cz with Microsoft Mail id <01BB3D93.F81911E0@taf7.anet.cz>; Thu, 9 May 1996 10:40:41 +-200 Message-Id: <01BB3D93.F81911E0@taf7.anet.cz> From: Pavel Wolf To: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Xfree for XPi P90ST ?

Then I saw this FAQ ( and a similar comment at FreeBSD.org )... Q.F18- ISA-bus Mach64 cards The current version of the server needs to map the video memory aperture into the system's address space. Since this requires 4MB of address space and since ISA bus systems can only address a maximum of 16MB, the Mach64 server can not be used on systems with more that 12MB of RAM. See the Mach64 README files for more information regarding the current capabilities of the server. Full support for ISA Mach64 cards is planned for the next release. In the mean time, the SVGA server can be used instead. ... If I've got the wrong end of the stick then fair enough. In the meantime I'm going to try and use the SVGA server as it suggests.

Basicly, it says: do a tex babel.ins Then you're told: * To finish the installation you have to move all the files * with names ending in .ldf, .sty or .def into a directory * searched by TeX /usr/local/lib/texmf/tex is a good cantidate. The install.txt hints that the rest of the steps aren't needed except for special circumstances. I'm not a TeX expert, so I took it at its word.

If you name them in the description, mtree(8) will happily check regular files as well. Indeed, the reason why I implemented the `md5sum' option a year ago was with the hope that someone (i.e., Jordan) would take the hint and add the appropriate mtree commands to the distribution builds so that we can have a published reference for what the MD5s of all the distributed files are supposed to be. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

You are using an address range which cannot be routed onto the Internet backbone, and will be rejected if you try (generally). You will either need to install proxy servers (like socks or TIS's FWTK) on your gateway or get a subnet address from U of Washington (hardly likely since they are doing dynamic IP addressing).

Back in 1.1.5 times, I just modified scsiconf.c by adding the following entry { T_OPTICAL, T_REMOV, "SONY", "SMO-F331-00" ,"1.24", "sd", SC_ONE_LU | SC_SHOWME }, in the knowndevs[] array, and everything went fine. I could use the disk as a regular hd, could even boot from it, and change disks when it was unmounted. With 2.1R, this appears not to work: the disk is assigned the "uk" device instead of "sd" as I'd like to. scsi_selectdev() returns the correct entry, but then the drive is somehow not recognised as an "sd" device. I guess the problem occurs somewhere later in the process, such as in scsi_device_lookup() or so, but it is not clear to me how to fix this (assuming there is an easy way ?).

For example, start a cmdtool and type return. You will get a continuous stream of prompts as if you were continually typing the return key. After some hours with xxgdb and libraries compiled with debugging symbols, I tracked the problem to a write call. This write call returns 0 even though it appears that a charater has been written. The fact that this call returns 0 means that the write pointer in the cmdtool code is not updated and so it is written again etc. (you get the picture) It seems that there is a problem with the write system call returning 0 instead of the number of characters written in this particular case. The pty is supposedly not in remote mode. Does anyone have any idea why the write call would return 0 even when characters have been written? Could anyone who knows the pty kernel code comment? I can send the segment of code involved, but I suspect it won't help as there is too much context requried to see what is going on. I think I might be getting slightly out of my depth..... glug ..glug... -- Tom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Crummey, EMAIL: tom@uces.bangor.ac.uk | /\ University of Wales, Bangor, | / \/\ Unit for Coastal and Estuarine Studies, | /\/ \ \ Ynys Faelog, Menai Bridge, TEL: +44 (0)1248 713808 |/ ======\=\ Gwynedd, LL59 5EY, U.K. FAX: +44 (0)1248 716729 | B A N G O R ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 9 15:33:38 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA27876 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 May 1996 15:33:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from covina.lightside.com (covina.lightside.com [198.81.209.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA27871 for ; Thu, 9 May 1996 15:33:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [198.81.209.32] by covina.lightside.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #6) id m0uHeGz-0004JmC; Thu, 9 May 96 15:33 PDT Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 9 May 1996 15:32:06 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org From: eharley@lightside.com (eharley) Subject: Can I use a mac as a serial terminal Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have FBSD going on a pc and I also own a mac.

The PC is a 386-40/8MB, dedicated to this task, running FreeBSD 2.1.0R. This are the ttys lines I'm using cuaa2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on secure # Stallion EasyIO/8 cue0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on secure Just after the carrier goes up, about at the same time the client reports 'CONNECT 28800', the server hangs up the call. This happens about 33% times when using a normal 16550 port (cuaa2), and about 75% times when the modem is connected to a Stallion EasyIO/8. I suspect that getty is displaying the prompt string a little too early for the Sportster, and often the modem is still in the phase where any character from the host aborts the connection. Reading 'man gettytab' I've not found any parameter to instert a delay between the DCD and the first write. Any experience with that ? Am I wrong with some configuration item ? Thanks in advance.

Typically, you arrive in a directory which you think is the root directory and you can give commands like 'cd /pub/incoming' as though everything was hanging off the root directory. In reality, though, it's more likely to be something like /home/anonftp/pub/incoming. Also, you have commands like 'ls' which magically seem to be available. In fact, it's a program which lives in /home/anonftp/bin and your path has been set there. This sort of thing is certainly possible to set up using chroot, but it's a bit tricky to get right. When a process has been chroot'd, it can't see anything above its new root directory. This includes not only directories and data files, but the user's shell, executables, shared libraries that may be needed for running dynamically-linked programs and perhaps some of the files from /etc, depending on how complete an environment you want to allow. So what you need to do is to re-create part of the directory in the new root directory with everything that's needed. (You can't use symbolic links as the process can't see what they're pointing to!). Remember to set the path to wherever you put the executables. eg /some/where/new/root/dir---\ | \------ bin | | \------ etc | | \------ tmp and so on. You'll also need to do think about dynamically linked executables - ideally, you should try to avoid them. Fortunately, many of the basic ones (the ones which live in /bin) are statically linked, so you can allow a fairly minimal environment without using dynamically linked ones. If you're not sure if an executable is dynamically linked, do 'file foobar' and it'll say foobar: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked executable if it is. If you're intending to do this for setting up anonymous FTP, most of the hard work has already been done for you. The ftpd man page has a good explanation of how to set up a secure anonymous FTP site. In any case, it might be worth having a look at the ftpd code for hints - for example, you must chdir() into the new directory after chroot()'ing.

You'd have to use vipw to view the encrypted password, as the passwd file is shadowed and has a '*' where the password would be. And you have to be root to run vipw. It may well be more practical to write a short Perl script using the crypt() function - this is how adduser uses it:- $cryptpwd = crypt($password, &salt) if $password ne ""; From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 9 18:10:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA23017 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 May 1996 18:10:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from aeffle.Stanford.EDU (aeffle.Stanford.EDU [171.65.76.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA23006 for ; Thu, 9 May 1996 18:10:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from hlew@localhost) by aeffle.Stanford.EDU (8.6.10/8.6.6) id SAA16147; Thu, 9 May 1996 18:08:00 -0700 Date: Thu, 9 May 1996 18:07:59 -0700 (PDT) From: Howard Lew To: Brandon Gillespie cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Finding what caused a crash In-Reply-To: <199605091450.IAA01696@tombstone.sunrem.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 On Thu, 9 May 1996, Brandon Gillespie wrote: > Last night I upgraded the motherboard and CPU of a machine to a Cyrix 6x86 > p150+.

I found xnetdb and compiled it. Runs okay, and I use it to monitor the up/down status of the interfaces of different hosts. I've got 11 Xylogics Annexs, and I was interested in using their Annex Manager Software. Big problem - they only release the binaries for AIX, Sun, and SCO. I talked to them, hoping (beyond hope) that they would cut a deal and I'd give them an account just to compile it under FreeBSD, BSDI, and Irix. They told me they felt they weren't going to just release the source, and since they covered 80% of the commercial market, oh well. I feel it's because they have limited computers to compile it on. I even had to explain to them just why I wanted to compile it for FreeBSD and why I didn't own a Sun or an IBM. I haven't heard back from them yet.... Anyways, I'll install tkined and take a look at how it is different from xnetdb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Ferguson - Systems Administrator patrick@dmv.com DelMarVa OnLine! - Salisbury, MD -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQBNAzGBrOQAAAECALpR8GMUAXnKbr9LeXVv18Q8y/n1NM1+YS8ffP/5HvM0gyso F1T9+gcGvb3L2nFwj+wnig0UQY93vXqhXPoFN4UABRG0IlBhdHJpY2sgRmVyZ3Vz b24gPHBhdHJpY2tAZG12LmNvbT4= =AgnQ -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 9 18:21:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA25537 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 May 1996 18:21:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay-4.mail.demon.net (relay-4.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.108]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA25528 for ; Thu, 9 May 1996 18:21:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id aa21435; 10 May 96 1:20 GMT Received: from jraynard.demon.co.uk ([158.152.42.77]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa13095; 10 May 96 1:19 +0100 Received: (from fqueries@localhost) by jraynard.demon.co.uk (8.6.12/8.6.12) id UAA11183; Thu, 9 May 1996 20:45:58 GMT Date: Thu, 9 May 1996 20:45:58 GMT From: James Raynard Message-Id: <199605092045.UAA11183@jraynard.demon.co.uk> To: toor@dyson.iquest.net CC: mcvickhd@audlan.state.in.us, questions@freebsd.org In-reply-to: <199605090045.TAA13145@dyson.iquest.net> (toor@dyson.iquest.net) Subject: Re: UNIX System Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > > > All you need is a 386SX (or better) with a minimum of 4MB RAM and at > Warning, you need 5MB to install it though!!! ^^^^ Isn't there a new install floppy which works in 4MB?

The permissions on these two files should be:- -r-xr-sr-x 2 bin kmem 16384 Nov 16 09:55 /usr/bin/w -r-sr-sr-x 3 root kmem 180224 Nov 16 09:59 /usr/sbin/sendmail Most of the files in /usr/sbin are -r-xr-xr-x, but quite a number of them are setuid and/or setgid, as they need to access certain files that are not available to just anyone. However, don't go around making things setuid or setgid unless you know what you're doing, as this can cause potential security problems. If you have the CDs for 2.0.5 or 2.1.0, they come with an extra CD that has a copy of a complete working system on it, which is useful for situations like this.

[...] The absolutely best thing to look at in this case is the INN Faq. You can get it from ftp.math.psu.edu in the /pub/INN directory, I think. It includes a cookbook example of converting a working INN to a working INN spanned over multiple disks via symlinks, including the shell commands to move the files from drive to drive. Once your INN supports symlinks, it's really pretty easy to get it to go from one drive to another. The only thing to do before the example, if I remember correctly, would get the drive up an running on FreeBSD as a single partition (slice?). bryan Bryan K.

Just get an appropriate null-modem cable, plug it into both machines, configure the PCs serial port as a hardware terminal in /etc/ttys, and run your favorite terminal program (or kermit) on your Mac. Set the serial port settings appropriately, hit and run away. A network connection may be more useful -- then you can use network clients (web browsers, fetch, et al) to access your PC. Cost is the only problem here if you have to get new parts, plus drop cables.

LaTeX2e is an extension of the original LaTex, which is an extension of TeX. Install LaTeX2e, NOT 209. I made this mistake myself. A better way would be to try the "tetex" distribution that is in ports. It sounds like a better tex distribution. I haven't tried it myself, mainly because of diskspace concerns. > Sorry to vent frustration, I've never had a good experience with TeX. It's complicated, and unnecessarily so.

Our problem wasn't with a firewall but with 2 FreeBSD boxes talking through an annex 4000 (terminal server). The command is sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 The older version of SCO might not support TCP extensions (wild guess).

The find command is really not that hard. `man find` If you only want to miss directories then: find . '!' -type d -exec chmod 644 {} \; > Which all brings me to my final thought.

I have finally installed FreeBSD and have managed to get it to boot and run off of my sd1 drive through the Windows NT boot manager. I am able to log into FreeBSD and work with it. However.. I am having several problems and was wondering how to fix. Let me start by telling you my system: Gateway 2000 Pentium 90Mhz 40M Ram 1 Gig EIDE Drive as C: Drive with DOS/Windows NT/WIndows 95 - Primary DOS ATAPI EIDE CD-ROM Adaptec 1542CF SCSI Adapter (sd0) 1 Gig Conner SCSI drive as drive D: with Extended DOS (sd1) 1 Gig Seagate SCSI drive partitioned the first 600M as NTFS and the remaining 405 as FreeBSD. Problem 1 --------- I would like to install XWindows but can't because I cannot get the CD Rom to mount. I rebuilt the kernel and removed the comments for ATAPI and the wcd0. When I try to mount the CD, I get a 'Device not Configured' (Yes, I did have a CD in the CD ROM). No luck. Any ideas? Problem 2 --------- Related to problem 1. Since I could not install off the CD Rom, I decided to copy the files to my C Drive in the \freeBSD\X86312\ directory (oh and I tried several other directory combinations as well \X86312, \FreeBSD\DISTS\X86312, trust me, I tried them all) and ran the sysinstall program to install X. Nope. It couldn't install from DOS. Why? Problem 3 --------- Related to problem 2. Since I could not install by the sysinstall program, I decided to try it manually. So, I decided to mount the MSDOS drive. When I did it gave me some sort of error that cluster size did not match something or other. However, it still mounted. I went to look at the drive and when I did an 'ls', it listed the files and a lot of other files kind of like : ??????.EXE. At any rate, I started to tar the files and ... BOOM! Panic - UFS_LOCK: Recursive something or other. Reboot. Problem 4 --------- You guessed it. Related to problem 3. I let the computer come up in DOS and decided, well maybe its and IDE-BIOS-FreeBSD-Geometry problem. So, I copied the filed to my D drive (sd0). Did the usual, tried to install by the sysinstall - didn't work of course. So I tried it the manual method on this drive. I tried to mount sd0 and as soon as I did... BOOM... Panic. I forgot the error on this one.. I think it was the UFS_LOCK one again. What happened? Why couldn't I mount the scsi extended Dos drive? Problem 5 --------- Related to number 4. The computer reboot itself and began its boot process. When it got to mounting /rds1a (I think this is what it tried to mount - or something to that effect), it hung. I had to press the reset key. I tried it again. It hung. I now cannot get into FreeBSD. Can I fix this? Can I do it with a fixit disk? or do I need a full reinstall? If I can fix all of the above problems, you have another big FreeBSD supporter. However, I have been trying to get this to work for over a month and am getting really frustrated. If anybody can point me in how to fix all of the above problems (with number 5 obviously being first), I would be eternally grateful.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings! I have a machine that I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on from the walnut creek CDROM. It reports that I have no hard drive when I try to boot from a floppy made with ATAPIFLP.BAT. When my machine first starts up, it reports: (c) 1986-1991 FUTURE DOMAIN CORP SCSI ROM BIOS 1800 AT V2.0 SCSI 0 LUN 0 FUJITSU M2266S-512 Firmware Rev. 0014 512 Bytes per sector. (S) Its a 1.1 gig scsi harddrive. Is there ANY chance I will be able to install FreeBSD on this machine? Do I need a new scsi controller? If you need more information, don't hesistate to ask!

Can I use Eric> the mac and a null modem cable to get a terminal session to Eric> pop up on the mac out of the pc? Hmmm. Tell you what, I'll answer the question in the `Subject:' line because I don't understand what's in the body of your message. Yes, get null modem cable and connect it between the serial port of your mac and a serial port of your PC running FreeBSD. On your mac, run your favorite terminal software. One with vt100 terminal emulation should do nicely. Set up some nice communications parameters, say 38400bps, no parity, one stop bit, etc. Now, on the FreeBSD side of things, edit your /etc/ttys file. You want to add (or edit if already present) an entry for the serial port to which the null modem cable is connected. You want to enable a login session on that port. For example, if I connected the null modem cable to my second serial port (COM2 in DOS parlance, ttyd1 in more familiar terms), I need this line: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" vt100 on insecure This says on the second serial port (ttyd1), start a program /usr/libexec/getty (which provides login sessions) giving it the argument std.38400 (which tells it what terminal settings and bps rate to use, from the file /etc/gettytab), and what the default terminal type is (vt100). The port is ``on'' and is ``insecure'' meaning root cannot log in on that port. If you want root to log in, change ``insecure'' to ``secure.'' Now, you just have to tell the init process to reread /etc/ttys so it will pick up the changes you made: kill -1 1 does just that. Now go back to your Mac. You should have a login: prompt! -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 10 08:14:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA21383 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 May 1996 07:26:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA21361 for ; Fri, 10 May 1996 07:26:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dev01.interactive.com (pppA201.micronet.fr [193.149.100.55]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id GAA27768 for ; Fri, 10 May 1996 06:57:17 -0700 Received: (from root@localhost) by dev01.interactive.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id PAA01440; Fri, 10 May 1996 15:57:26 GMT Date: Fri, 10 May 1996 15:57:26 GMT Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 0.3-beta [p0] on FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <199605101302.GAA04376@Root.COM> Reply-To: fmtel@micronet.fr From: To: Subject: Re: problems with SUP Cc: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri May 10 06:02:32 1996 David Greenman wrote: >>>Hello, >>for 2 or 3 days I have been trying to get the stable release thru sup, >>and several times it remains stalled during at least 1 hour ! >>Do you see any explication ?

Exactly what does this entail? Seeing as a good number of files in the /etc directory are of great importance, I am curious about what wouldn't be restored to that directory that I would need to do manually.

This depends on what version you are running. In all cases, you can monitor the number of mbuf clusters currently allocated (and the high-water mark) with `netstat -m': ------------------------------------ 13 mbufs in use: 1 mbufs allocated to data 1 mbufs allocated to packet headers 7 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 4 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 0/12 mbuf clusters in use ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this line 25 Kbytes allocated to network (6% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines ------------------------------------ However, if you are running -current, a recent change to the way mbufs are allocated has significantly confused the situation. (I have a fix for the confusion which I have to test out.) The mbuf allocator was changed to allocate regular mbufs from the same kernel memory space as clusters were allocated from. But, the calculation of how much space to allow to be allocated was not modified. So, if your value of NMBCLUSTERS was X, you could only hold about X - X/8 packets in memory where previously you could hold X plus quite a bit more (up to 60% of kernel memory minus 256*X). The fix will be to allocate mbufs and mbuf clusters out of different kernel memory maps. The existing mbuf cluster map will be the same size as before, and the new `regular mbuf map' will either by the same size in bytes, or some other value heuristically related to NMBCLUSTERS and/or MAXUSERS. (I'm leaning now towards the former.) This will allow you to allocate up to 3648*NMBCLUSTERS bytes maximum for network data (not including the space required for controrol information), and makes it easier by far to tune the limits. I could, in theory, simply increase the size of the existing map and allocate both out of the same space, but this breaks the automatic fall-over from clusters to regular mbufs when clusters are exhausted. (There may well be other parts of the system where this is already broken.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Adaptec's "HIM" module interface is used to download non-default microcode to the controller as part of the OS startup. The code is supposed to protect Adaptec's intellectual property by making it hard for someone to build a clone board that lets them leverage Adaptec drivers in the OS. Remember the 154x/174x cones that came out from Bustek or BusLogic and others? Apparently they don't think having a patent on the AIC-7770 sequencer itself is protection enough. 8-|. Here is the trade BSD (and Linux) made: 1) Sign non-disclosure and distribute only binaries to get the Adaptec-supplied HIM code into the OS. vs. 2) Rewrite the AIC-7770 microcode and download code from documentation available without NDA. The loss here is that things like Adaptec's new 394x RAID controller aren't supported because the microcode doesn't have the sequencer level RAID support code for things like auto-calculation of ECC's, etc.. The win is that the source can be distributed, and unlike Adaptec's code, it works on the OEM version of the AIC-7770 that HP uses on its motherboards. There is also some lag between release and support of new chip revisions from Adaptec, assuming they may firmware change necessary (like they did in the UW controller series). This is somewhat balanced by full support for target mode, and several other things Adaptec doesn't really guarantee, along with some fixes for tagged command queueing and SCSI reconnect races with Quantum drives that the Adaptec firmware lacks. Note that there is usable default firmware in these things if you don't force a RAM reset (otherwise they couldn't BIOS-boot to the level where a download was possible, and they wouldn't work under DOS). The default firmware API isn't documented. Hope this helps; I'm sure the Adaptec guru's will jump in and add anything I've missed or correct anything I've gotten wrong.

Microsoft did something wrong. There is a Win32 interface for returning up to 32 bits of 512b blocks for the "available space". Windows 95 (*STUPIDLY*) uses the INT 21 interface for the disk "Property" tab for "General". This means they are limited to reporting a 24 bit value for C/H/S, which is then remultiplied out to show the space. This is even more critically dumb, since a transfer of 0 bytes is legal (in fact required: a 0 byte write is how DOS truncates files). This means that the 64k cluster size is illegal, so they are limited to 32k clusters (or they would be one byte shy of a full transfer of 64k if they tried to use 64k clusters). This puts a limit of 1 additional bit, which is 2G of space (which would be there anyway -- the control panel and the "DIR" code both use signed artihmatic -- dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb). Why did they do this? At least part of it is that their programmers got lazy... using the INT 21 interface was easier than the Win32. The other part of it has to be that this promotes sales of NT. 8-|. Drives mapped to NetWare volumes report the same thing (NetWare is also DOS centric, instead of fixing the reporting in the requester so at least the whole client could be fixed at once without impacting the server). Basically, you will see 2G reported as "free space" for any amount of space, 2G or larger, until you start filling it to the point that less than 2G is available. Then it will report the true amount (and eventually start lying about the amout of used space, when it tops 2G). Also unfortuantely, the "fake up the 24 bit value" API to simulate the INT 21 on network and protected mode disk drivers isn't automatically truncated and factored for you. This means that the server software has to intentionally under report it because the overreport of 24 bits won't be filtered at the Ring 0 -> Ring 3 INT 21 code thunk... like it would be if it had been written by anyone other than a student hire (even a good student hire wouldn't have screwed up this way, IMO). So the short answer is that Win95 is incapable of reporting more than 2G accurately.

You must explicitly export the directory. Look at the "mountd" man page.

You can't run FreeBSD on the UltraSPARC unless someone has written and is using code that we don't know of :-) There is a partial port of FreeBSD to the SPARC architecture, but AFAIK it's not complete enough to actually use for anything like a WWW server.

On their webpage at: http://www.flash.net/index.html they say that their server is "powered by FreeBSD" and they have a link to your webpage. That's how I found you! Their server may be some other kind of machine running FreeBSD. The only thing I know about their ultrasparc is that they have recently upped its RAM. Maybe they use it for the news or mail server???????? I'll have to ask more about that. Anyway I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my system. I just made a Dos partition and I'm slowly reading your webpage to see what I need to do next :-) How do you make money from this? Or is it a labor of love? Thanks!

Is there a way using the IP firewalling option to turn on/off access to a port at will? For example, if process X connects to port 5000 of machine Y, can I let that process connect, then after it is connected, start eating the packets it's sending on that port?

Sorry. Oh! Bad answer. Its likely that "UltraSparc" and "FreeBSD" are mutually exclusive and somebody is not telling the truth when both are used in the same sentence. Once Upon A Time I had more time on my hands that was really good for me so I pulled down the sources to gcc, patchkits from ftp.cygnus.com and proceeded to build a Sparc Sun-4.1.3 version of gcc under FreeBSD 2.0R on an 8m 486DX33. It went pretty well. Shortly had a version of gcc that wrote sparc code. Took that code to a Sun and finished the linking and it ran ("Hello World\n"). Was not interested enough to attempt to build a Sun linker under FreeBSD but the tools were there to do it. Libraries and include files would have been the big problem. What Hans is asking to do is certianly possible but not trivial. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@hiwaay.net ============================================================= To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. - Thomas Edison From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 10 19:55:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA11838 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 May 1996 19:55:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (palmer.demon.co.uk [158.152.50.150]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA11831 for ; Fri, 10 May 1996 19:55:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (sendmail/PALMER-1) with ESMTP id DAA04514 ; Sat, 11 May 1996 03:46:58 +0100 (BST) To: Wes Santee cc: Jaye Mathisen , questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Gary Palmer" Subject: Re: Packet Eater Available?

The firewall stuff is all configured at ``run time'', so you can add and delete rules from the kernel at will, including once a TCP/UDP stream has already been established as the firewall code doesn't care about that (it's designed to be run on routers which can't track if a client machine has a TCP/UDP stream open or not). It should do what you want. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info.

Most SCSI cards present a fake geometry to the PC to get round limitations designed into the PC from the early days whem people thought that 500Mb's would never ever be exceeded (ha!). Without access to the BIOS from the kernel, FreeBSD doesn't have any real way of finding this out, and a small DOS partition (which can be deleted once the kernel is running and has read the MBR to get the geometry) is the best way. So the right answer is: it's not what geometry the drive has (which for SCSI drives is often wrong anyhow as they have variable number of sectors per track depending on the cylinder), but what geometry the controller has for the drive ... The installer will choke on what you tried as for multi-OS installations, you can't use the ``raw'' geometry but the one the BIOS sees.

Also check for weird stuff in users .Xdefaults files, unusual shell settings, umm, and if that's all the same, I'm stuck for ideas :-) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations.

The 4221 is a SCSI device. You don't want physical geometry information info for the drive (it's a ZBR device and doesn't have 'geometry' in the traditional sense of the word anyway). What you want is the BIOS geometry imposed by the SCSI controller you're using. Read the installation notes. In particular, the part where it says "put a small DOS partition on the disk, and blow it away in the slice editor".

Is this > the problem that this CLISP cannot see more than 536,870,912 bytes ? It's not disk space it's looking for, it's virtual memory (RAM + swap). I think the real problem however is that there's something peculiar about the format of the lisp.run executable. On Unix, every binary executable has some data at the start of the file which tells how the operating system various things about it, including how much memory it's going to need. My guess is that there's something not right here and the operating system is being asked for 500MB for memory! This sort of thing sometimes happens with Lisp interpreters - a very minimal version is written in C, the installation program builds and runs it, loads it with lots of powerful Lisp code and then dumps this image to disk, which is then the interpreter executable (you've probably seen this happen if you've built Emacs from scratch). The problem is that it's very easy to get a bad executable if you're porting it to a different system and don't get it right. If it's any consolation, I had exactly the same problem when I tried to install clisp, but I didn't have any time to look into it. There's a clisp mailing list, which may be a better place to ask (extract from comp.lang.lisp FAQ):- There is a mailing list for users of CLISP. It is the proper forum for questions about CLISP, installation problems, bug reports, application packages etc. For information about the list and how to subscribe, send mail to listserv@ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de, with the two lines help information clisp-list in the message body. Alternatively, there's a free LISP interpreter which is actually being developed on FreeBSD, based on CMU Common Lisp:- http://www.mv.com/users/pw/lisp/dl/CMUCL-FreeBSD.tar.gz From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 11 06:12:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA11300 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 May 1996 06:12:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alpha.jpunix.com (root@alpha.jpunix.com [199.3.234.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA11268 for ; Sat, 11 May 1996 06:11:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from perry@localhost) by alpha.jpunix.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id IAA07314 for questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 11 May 1996 08:11:45 -0500 (CDT) Date: Sat, 11 May 1996 08:11:38 -0500 (CDT) From: "John A.

Is the CD found at startup? If yes, then it _should_ be mountable. If no, then you may want to experiment with moving it to the second IDE controller and running it as master by itself there.

The 'root directory is not a multiple of cluster size' error tends to indicate that you shrunk one or more of your filesystems with FIPS. The current MSDOSFS code is pretty shaky, and FIPS leaves the filesystem in a fairly inconsistent state that tends to make it more so. Nonetheless, it should work for what you were doing. Were you extracting the files on the DOS filesystem, or directly into /usr? The former may have lead to serious grief. > Problem 4 > --------- > You guessed it. Related to problem 3.

There is something distinctly funny about your DOS partitions. What did you create them with? Did you try to mount the correct slice?

Try booting with the '-s' flag at the boot prompt, then go with this : # fsck /dev/rsd1a # reboot The former may tell you your root filesystem is toasted, in which case a reinstall is definitely the way to go. If it works OK, try booting again/ It sounds like you have some serious filesystem corruption happening.

Randall" Organization: Des Moines Area Community College Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Background: At the time of the last FreeBSD 2.1 snap (fall 1995), I configured a 2.1-snap machine in my office as a user-ppp server. At the same time, I configured my dual-boot 2.0.5R/Win95 machine at home for PPP (with a static IP address) using the built-in dial-up networking for Win95 and user-ppp for FreeBSD. This worked just great (and I felt triumphant over a co-worker who has a $1200 Shiva Net modem for PPP in his office). I even documented the process and sent the results to doc@freebsd.org to be added to the FreeBSD Handbook (which doesn't cover a user-ppp server). Foreground(?): I decided to upgrade both the machines at work and at home to 2.1R. Diligently following my own instructions (and using the old configuration files as a second reference), I re-configured the user-PPP server at work and the user-ppp client at home. The server is configured for proxy arp and ip-forwarding. The Win95 client works. The FreeBSD client doesn't. Grr. The PPP link is established. Analyzing the ppp.log file on the server shows almost identical connections between the Win95 connection and the FreeBSD connection. Upon further investigation (scripts running on the server periodically checking things like arp entries, routing tables, etc.) everything seems to be configured correctly. However ... >From home, I try to ping the ppp server (always using IP addresses) and the send light on my modem flashes - nothing comes back. From the server, I try to ping my home machine and the recv light flashes - nothing is sent back. Using the same user-ppp client configuration , I can connect to my co-worker's Shiva Net-modem and everything works great. So much for that triumphant feeling. :^( The routing table on the FreeBSD client is the same when connected to either the Shiva Net-modem or the FreeBSD user-ppp server. So, did something in the proxy arp, ip-forwarding, or user-ppp code change between the last 2.1 snap and 2.1R? I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can provide extensive information to anyone willing to look at it. -Randy -- Charles F.

Well, we DO nothing but image processing on our machines ... Among other types we got HP's, Sparcs and a P100 with a Matrox Millenium. Our institute developed a high performance image processing tool (HORUS) with about 700 image processing operators. Our "standard" benchmark is a series of filter operations on an image. The main thing the benchmark does is a "laws" filter on a byte image. The result is a long image. Then it does "laws" on the long image with a byte image as result, and so on. So the benchmark tests mainly the integer and the memory throughput of the processor (which are BY FAR the most important operations in image processing. Floating point is rarely used ...) I let the benchmark results speak for themselves: HP 712/60: 17.6s HP 735/100: 11.7s Sparc/10: 17.9s Sparc/20: 12.1s Ultra Sparc (32 bit): 4.9s Ultra Sparc (64 bit): 4.5s SGI Indigo2: 6.4s SGI Indy: 15.9s DEC 3000 Modell 600 AXP (175 MHz): 10.0s DEC AlphaStation 600 5/266: 5.4s Pentium 100MHz (FreeBSD 2.0.5): 12.3s Pentium 100MHz (Windows NT): 19.2s We get roughly the same results, when we run our most complex application (detection and tracking of humans in image sequences) on the machines: On the SS20 and the P100 we need about 1.6 s/image. On the Ultra and the Alpha we need about 0.7 s/image. Oh, yes: The Pentium was in 24 bit mode under XAccel 1.2, while all other machines were in 8 bit mode. So I recommend against the 715 (depending on teh price, of course). He should buy a Pentium/Pentium-Pro with a fast graphic card and XAccel. Or an Ultra, of course. :-) My 2 cents, -Walter PS: Note the difference between FreeBSD and NT on the same machine. *GRIN* -- Walter Hafner____________________________ hafner@forwiss.tu-muenchen.de FORWISS Muenchen, FG Kognitive Systeme, Raum O-134, Tel: 089/48095-220 Netscape*documentColorsHavePriority: false Netscape*blinkingEnabled: false *CLICK* From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 11 10:00:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA22302 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 May 1996 10:00:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA22296 for ; Sat, 11 May 1996 10:00:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by Root.COM (8.7.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id KAA07393 for ; Sat, 11 May 1996 10:00:14 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199605111700.KAA07393@Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.Root.COM: Host localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: questions@freebsd.org From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Sat, 11 May 1996 10:00:14 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ------- Forwarded Message Return-Path: josephi@usr1.zynetwc.com Received: from agora.rdrop.com (root@agora.rdrop.com [199.2.210.241]) by Root.COM (8.7.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id RAA06542 for ; Fri, 10 May 1996 17:48:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from usr1.zynetwc.com by agora.rdrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #17) id m0uI2qm-0008vQC; Fri, 10 May 96 17:48 PDT Received: (from josephi@localhost) by usr1.zynetwc.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id RAA11157; Fri, 10 May 1996 17:47:58 -0700 Date: Fri, 10 May 1996 17:47:58 -0700 (MST) From: Joseph Ingersoll To: davidg@ROOT.COM Subject: ppp dial up FreeBSD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII hey hate to bother you but having difcult time setting up a small portion of a FreeBSD Server the problem is Receving Incoming PPP connections i'm reading the man docs' but it would be a real help if i could take a look at a system the is running a working ppp dialup server if you know of one i could take a look at. or send me a copy of a working /home/ppp:/usr/local/bin/ppplogin file and give description of how it is created and a working /usr/local/bin/ppplogin file and give a brief description of it that would be great Thank You Joseph Ingersoll owner ZyNet SouthWest /Az 602-966-9339 ------- End of Forwarded Message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 11 10:23:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA24284 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 May 1996 10:23:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA24279 for ; Sat, 11 May 1996 10:23:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by Root.COM (8.7.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id KAA07444; Sat, 11 May 1996 10:23:01 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199605111723.KAA07444@Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.Root.COM: Host localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: jln@otdc.com (Joe Nieten) cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 24Meg memory In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 10 May 1996 19:16:05 +0700." <199605111346.IAA00195@defiant.vhm.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Sat, 11 May 1996 10:23:01 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >I just added another 8Meg to my FreeBSD machine ... and the OS did not >recognize it.

What I do, since I like slightly different options than the port defaults to, is first do a `make patch' which fetches the source, unpacks it and applies the FreeBSD patches. Then I go into the work directory and make whatever other tweaks I want, such as compiling different modules, and then go back to /usr/ports/net/apache, `make' and `make install' to finish things off. It works very well.

I don't know exactly what to get and how to arrange it so that I can do the build. I've looked at the handbook and it doesn't seem to be there, but if it is I will be happy to read it.

I assume the idea's so that you can add in any customisations you have painstaking added to the original files, rather than having the upgrade write the standard files over them and make you do all that work again. If you're familiar with emacs, merging files can be done fairly easily with 'M-x emerge-files'; otherwise, looking at the output from 'diff' is my best suggestion. > Second, in the SNAP release, there are 2 boot floppies -- boot.flp and > boot4.flp.

Really, the cable > cost isn't that high, more than made up for by not needing a hub. Matt, My (biased) reasoning for recomminding 10Base-T over any other cabling method is simplicity. (I know...crossover cables are NOT simple!) For a network of two machines it can be a bit of a pain, but the real benefits show up after the initial network is running. 1) if you want to add a third machine, the hub is cheap 2) if you want to move the machines, 10Base-T cabling is the easiest to install (no terminators, just a straight run to the machine.) 3) once you do go to a router, the network isn't at risk of being bombed if one of the machines gets disconnected. 4) (and this one is wonderful -- personal experience) 10Base-T cable takes a LOT more abuse than coax For added fun...I did something this week that most would call impossible. I now have a 4 machine network using 10Base-T and no hub!

Thank you At the very least, you'll need a boot disk, a root disk and the bin distribution (bin.aa, etc). A slightly tricky point is that you'll need to put root.flp in a directory called 'floppies' and the bin files in a directory called 'bin', as the installation program assumes the files are in the same directory tree as on the FTP site. If you're connected when you install it, you can actually save yourself a bit of messing around with floppies, BTW. Just download the boot floppy, boot up and use the FTP installation facility.

Yes, these are what all the files sbase.aa and so on are (in the CD or on the FTP site). They're the results of splitting up .tar.gz files into more manageable chunks. To install them, do something like:- # mkdir /usr/src # cd /usr/src # cat /cdrom/dists/src/slib.* | tar xzvf - (Or use the install.sh script in the same place the split files came from).

The latest version is 1.5 and you can find it on a SimTel mirror site (such as ftp.cdrom.com) as follows: msdos/diskutil/fips15.zip You should really approach FIPS with caution, however, as it relies on a sort of trick to do its magic. Having been FIPS-ed, your DOS partition is much more vulnerable to damage, because your DOS filesystem parameters are no longer standard. If MS-DOS one day decides it can no longer trust your partition boot sector (whether through the action of a virus, or corruption from another cause), it will resort to using default filesystem parameters. This may well cause all your DOS files to become quite unreadable, and could mess up data on your entire hard drive. If you really would rather be safe than sorry, a process such as the following is recommended: Use FIPS to split DOS partition C: DOS format the newly-created partition as D: Zip the entire contents of C: to D: Re-fdisk and re-format C: Unzip D: to C: You should also be aware that the FreeBSD msdosfs code has problems with some DOS partitions; and you are more likely to experience problems if your DOS partition has been shrunk by FIPS. In summary: proceed with caution.

And my kernel does have that driver since I can use sysinstall. However, it doesn't seem to work (or I can't drive it!). I want to add X11R6 support and I only access to floppies as a transport medium (don't ask...). I have placed all the X312*.tgz files in /usr/distfiles (from floppy transfers off the 2.1R CD-ROM). I run sysinstall (as root) and pick the custom entry, then the XFree entry. I then select the "required" parts, the XDM part and the fonts stuff. Now here is where it gets odd. The only way to get back to finish (extract) sysinstall is to pick E)xit from this XFree menu. When I do that (and get back to the main sysinstall menu, the extract selection always fails with one "jump" or "blip" of my screen and an second selection on extract pops up a window which tells me I haven't selected anything!!! This is driving me crazy -- I've gone back over each choice several times and I can't determine what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

Check out ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/src. The archives are split into 260k chunks; just cat them together and run them through tar xzf. I would recommend picking up the CD, however; the Live Filesystem CD contains the source fully extracted.

Should. If there is a separate ATAPI.FLP, use that as your boot floppy image.

I think the going reasoning is that it's still too buggy, and 2.6.3 is working, so they are following the old maxim "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." :-) Anyone else got a better idea?

Will they work fine with FreeBSD? Shouldn't be much of a problem, as long as the root partition is below 500MB or so.

FreeBSD is similar to BSDi in that it is based on Berkeley UNIX, but the similarity ends there. FreeBSD is free; it can be downloaded from the Internet or purchased on CDROM.

And remove any references to hosts from the ifconfig lines. And doublecheck /etc/hosts too.
