Is one ever try it ? Linux ELF binaries, with the elfkit applied, apparently work. This was in -current some time ago and I don't know the status of it at present. I believe libs are ELF/a.out transparent though.

I don't understand what you mean. You can set up a "master ntp server" in your domain and point all your ntp clients at that machine. xntpd does support this type of behavior, I believe it's the 'server' command. See the man page. timed is rather deprecated since it implements TPD while everyone else has bought into NTP.

It's probably trying to compile a client of somesort. Yes. It's required to compile x-gw - the X11 proxy. You may want to have that even if the gateway it self does not run X (if clients are supposed to run X applications across your firewall). If you don't want it, simple make specific proxy agents that you need, like: make http-gw make ftp-gw : : > > > 4) The documentation appears to be in postscript format. > > To my knowledge we don't have postscript capability.

If I remember correctly, they are in a separate tarball, but it may be that they are in the same tar as the code, and make install will install them.

If set up properly, the +++ sequence SHOULD work properly. a +++ in the datastream won't trigger going into command mode unless there has been no data sent for a specified delay period. (See S12 in your modem's S-Rigister table. From a Courier HST V/Everthing: Sets the duration, in fiftieths of a second, of the guard time for the escape code (+++) sequence.) Default is 50 (1 second)). So, in other words, you have to not just have a +++ come over the connection, but at least a one second pause, a +++ (and only a +++) then another 1 second or longer pause, in order for the modem to go into command mode. It is possible, but highly unlikely. Of course, this is not the "proper" way of hanging up a modem. The generally accepted method (especially with UNIX systems) is to drop DTR. The modem should be set to at least hang up, if not do a full reset, on DTR drop. I have always set my modems this way under DOS, and under UNIX. Biggest reason with a good old term program in DOS? It takes MUCH less time to do a vDTR^ than it does to wait a second, +++, wait a second, ATH. Later......

I just added a new WD 1.6GB IDE disk to my 2.1.5-STABLE. I read the FAQ, which unfortunately describes behavior of /stand/sysinstall contrary to mine (there is no "expert mode" as described in the FAQ, and none of the steps was really a good fit, especially the part that said to exit WITHOUT comitting any changes). At any rate, I reverted to the man pages and the "Running FreeBSD" book. What I did was: 1. ran as much of the FAQ steps as possible - IOW, ran sysinstall's partition editor, told it to use all the disk and then quit w/o saving. 2. ran disklabel. The new disk showed 3 partitions, with the first two being marked as and the third as being FreeBSD. Then ran 'disklabel -r -w /dev/rwd1c auto' which correctly set up the geometry (3148 cyl, 16 hds, 63 sec/trk). I then edited the disklabel manually to set the actual RPM and name. 3. ran newfs with default parameters: 'newfs /dev/rwd1c' 4. edited /etc/fstab to add /dev/rwd1c and rebooted. Everything *seemed* to be okay, except that now when I boot, I get kernel messages: /kernel: wd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic ...listed twice. Running fsck on the disk usually gives me: BLK(S) MISSING IN BITMAPS SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD Although the only complaints when checking the fs on boot are the 'no magic' warnings. What have I hosed up? Should I have run fdisk first (I thought that was only needed to maintain DOS compatability)?

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== 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"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter 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. 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. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that 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: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. 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. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. If you do all this, and you still 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. To summarize, 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 2.1.5 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual".

This mail message, for instance, would cause the modem to drop into command mode and the PPP link to hang.

FreeBSD Handbook : Basic Networking : Dialup access : Modem Settings, section 11.4.6, tells you exactly how to setup your modem to make it work with PPP under FreeBSD. If you're going to assume you know more about modems and FreeBSD than the contributors who wrote the handbook, don't be surprised when you get bitten. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

After too little time to do much with the vfatfs, I've just recently gone on leave, and will be looking at putting together a release in the next few weeks. I haven't run any benchmarks but the design is more similar to the Mach dosfs than the msdosfs, so I expect the performance will be reasonable. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 22 22:17:04 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id WAA20250 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:17:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id WAA20240 for ; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:16:58 -0800 (PST) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id IAA14696; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 08:17:27 +0200 (IST) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma014694; Mon Dec 23 08:17:19 1996 Message-ID: <32BE2393.3029@barcode.co.il> Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 08:15:47 +0200 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Bryan Koen CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD and Win95 References: <3.0.32.19961222211502.00696c80@pop.mindspring.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Bryan Koen wrote: > > What is the proper order/way to install FreeBSD and Win95 so that they > co-exist peacefully? > > Bryan Koen > Engineer > MindSpring Enterprises What would usually work best is: 1.Partition your disk(s) into separate slices (partitions) for Win95 and FreeBSD (actually, create the Win95 slice, leaving enough space unpartitioned on the disk, unless you use separate disks). 2.

The whole idea of using an escape sequence to do something when there is a proper hardware line already in place to do it is rediculous. The +++ is handy when you are testing/configuring/troubleshooting a modem or connection, but beyond that, I'd usually just disable it, especially on a modem used for one purpose (say a PPP connection) where there's no way you'd ever want to escape to command mode. ~~~+++~~~ATH just irks me.

Thats how I have got it set up at the moment but it leaves me a bit open to ppl when I put the modem on :-) I solved that with the help of login.access but ftp dosn't apparently work when you have no password. I created another user with a password and put us both in the same group and have a script that rns from cron that copies the permissions from the user field to the group field for every file owned by either user but its still a hastle.

Also, is it possible to install off of a Zip drive? Yes, there is "experimental-level" support for the parallel ZIP drive on FreeBSD. The SCSI version of the ZIP drive also works right out of the box. You won't be able to install from the parallel-port ZIP but it would be conceivable with the SCSI version if your BIOS supports booting from a SCSI device. Regards, Alex.

Doesn't include the 288MB of packages, 92MB of XFree86, etc., on the CD. If I had just one machine to install FreeBSD on, I would certainly install via ftp to ftp.freebsd.org (or ftp.cdrom.com, same thing). Actually, if I wanted to wait a couple of months to install, I would get the CD from Walnut Creek. At any rate, it is a joy to have the distribution locally for installs on multiple machines.

My kernel compiled and booted the machine. However, none of my network functionality was present. ed1 is the device that my network card is talking to so I left ed1 uncommented and ed0 uncommented just because. The ed1 registers itself during boot displaying its flags and ethernet address, etc. But, when the routing daemon goes to start, ed1 times out and therefore I don't have a default router, nameserver, etc. I can't ping anyone either. So, is there something I commented out that I shouldn't have? I sure can't tell. I verified the stuff that I do have commented out with the devices shown in section 5 and am at a loss. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks, Leslie Davisson davisson@laa.com Lynn-Arthur Associates, Inc. P.S. My machine's networking was working just fine using the Generic kernel so it's not a question of other things being wrong. It's definitely something I did to this new kernel.

Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 11:51:48 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, there: Last we successfully installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 from CDROM (with the help of your people.) Now we'd like to upgrade it to 2.1.6. I went to the ftp site (ftp.freebsd.org) I downloaded all the *.TXT files and then read INSTALL.TXT, etc. Now I have several questions to ask: 1. It says that I have to have all the files under 'bin' directory for the floopy installation. I guess that's the only directory I have to download; others are optional. Is that correct? Or, what else whould I download? 2. It says that I have to format the floppies and then copy those files to the floppies. It gives the following commands to format the floppies in unix format: fdformat -f 1440 fd0.1440 disklabel -w -r fd0.1440 floppy3 newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -i 65536 /dev/rfd0 But how do copy these files to the floppies in FreeBSD 2.0.5? Could I use 'tar' command? Also it says that: "Each distribution should go into its own subdirectory on the floppy, e.g.: a:\bin\bin.aa, a:\bin\bin.ab, ..." How to do that? 3. Do I have to download the file ./floppies/boot.flp? Do I have to copy this file to a floppy and then reboot the system from it, or should I go /cdrom to run the program 'go' to do the upgrading work? Appreciate your help!

If the addresses are on the same subnet as the first IP address assigned the easiest way is to give something like: ifconfig de0 inet 192.116.93.18 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias Note that you should use a netmask of all 1-s. If you want the new alias on a different subnet than the original you'll have to give the true netmask and also modify the routing tables accordingly. Look at the manual pages for ifconfig(8) and route(8), if necessary.

Sounds like walking a mile to avoid jumping a foot, to me. ;^) You can have two users in the passwd file with the same uid. This would allow you to login with no password, and use the "other" login name to login with a password for ftp. Have you tried just putting 'login username' as the program to run in /etc/ttys? This should accomplish what you're looking for without hacking up anything. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

"make obj" created all links to /usr/obj-stable, but did not create the directories itself. If I create a link from obj-stable to /usr/obj, then it works. Probably, there's something wrong somewhere in the make configuration. Some parts look for "obj*" ( as in "src*" ) and some look for "/usr/obj" directly.

Initially I created one user before I installed "tcsh" so I had given shell of it as "csh". There after I installed tcsh and then I created 4-5 more users with default shell as "tcsh". And everything was fine. Then I wanted to change the shell of the first user who was given "csh". I did not know how to do that, but then I changed the entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files by changing "csh" to "tcsh". Then also other users with "tcsh" were fine, while logging in they were fine too. But I noticed that still the first user did not get the "tcsh" when logged in after change. So I deleted that user by removing the entries for that first user from both the files - /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd. Then I rebooted the computer by shutdown command. Before that I ran "fsch" and when it asked to fix the CLEAR FLAG, I had told yes. After rebooting, now root is working fine but with the users having "tcsh" as initial shell are facing problem and when I login as those users, I got following error messages ( I am dumping the screen I get ... _______________________________________ . . .

Use the ccd driver (might be harder to set up, but easier to understand). This concatenates two partitions to create a single "striped" disk. 2. Split /var into separate partitions (i.e., use a different file system for /var, /var/spool, etc...). This requires a good estimate of where the load on the filesystem will come from, both in terms of I/O load and file size. The second option should work while in sysinstall. To set up ccd, however, you first need to get a working system, then modify it (see man ccd, ccdconfig).

All of the systems I've been tinkering on have at least 16MB of Ram, so that should be sufficient for the kernel, a shell, and a couple of processes in the background. Anyhow, now heres what I've trieD: I created a boot floppy a la handbook, to make sure I could get the disk to boot, and make sure my crunchgen stuff was working well. Then I took the fd1440 disktab, and hacked it up. The result was an entry that looks like: fd1440bt|3.5in High Density Floppy Boot Disk:\ :ty=floppy:se#512:nt#2:rm#300:ns#18:nc#80:\ :pa#2870:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:\ :pb#10:ob#2870:bb#4096:fb#512: # :pc#2880:oc#0:bc#4096:fc#512: My goal being to get a 'b' partition for swaping. I then remade the boot floppy a-la handbook, only using this disktab, and then deleting the fd0b entry in the floppies /dev, and replacing it with a similar entry, with the minor number incremented one higher than 'a'. I then booted the disk, mounted the 'a' partition fine. Then, I tried to run a mount_mfs -s 1024000 /dev/fd0b /mnt to get a MFS mounted on /mnt. I get either a 'device not supported', or the disk completes the MFS, but starts giving disk write errors in bold white. It continues until I reboot. Anyhow, any help on doing this would be greatly appreciated. The man page info works on my hard disk on, but not on the floppy.

Well, rcsid is normal. It's the RCS source code control string. As for no match for -lXm. libXm.a (so. whatever) is the motif library which should come with lesstif. So I'm guessing you had a problem in the lib directory of your compile. Or you have to do an install of the library before finishing the compile. Or your not including the source path in the link.

Everything finally compiled fine, without errors. The only problems I had yet are those one: At boot time, the system writes writing to routing socket: Can't assign requested address add host stef.prodige.qc.ca: gateway stef: Can't assign requested address Also, when I connect to my ip with pppd, then disconnect end reconnect again, I received these four messages Dec 24 13:08:25 stef routed[55]: interface ppp0 to 199.174.166.87 turned off Dec 24 13:08:25 stef routed[55]: IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP ALLHOSTS: Can't assign requested address Dec 24 13:09:05 stef routed[55]: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP ALLHOSTS: Address already in use Dec 24 13:09:05 stef routed[55]: setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP RIP): Address already in use Since I'm not expert in networking, it may be me the problem. But I never had theses problems with 2.1.5-RELEASE. The other small problem I had is that the library libgnumalloc is now moved in /usr/lib/compat. Since X Window is using it, I had to make a symlink if this library in /usr/lib. Is the latest version of FreeBSD malloc as safe as gnumalloc? If yes, I'll recompile X Window with the gnumalloc option turned off. Thanks. Stephane Russell -- ]B-) <-- is this Bill Gates?

An insanely high transfer rate set on cuaa1. I use an AMD 5x86 on a 486 motherboard, with a SIIG card that has 16550s on each line. My card was expensive to buy, and you can find a decent multi-function card or serial board that provides these chips for about 10-30 bucks. If you have these chips, and it's still slow, then you should find areas of processor-intense computing and stop using them when doing important serial work. The machine should be able to service the interrupts better when you are not compiling, etc. Netscape itself caused problems for me when I ran on 16450 uarts because of how processor-intensive it is. If you aren't doing work, upgrade your processor. If you have a fast processor, then there is a problem with your config. If you need to do work while running serial, lets say your machine is a combination news/ftp/ports server, and your processor is fast, then you should look into a high-performance serial card that gives you a much larger fifo on the uart. (fifo is the queue that the uart uses to fill with unserviced data.) there are boards with a meg or more of fifo memory on each line, or at least, there used to be.:) I think most basic fifos are 16-64k. the reason why the 16450 is slow is that it only has a couple of k on its buffer. I think it also has a poor block-transfer rate. I believe that there are also dma serial cards that avoid these problems well. there are a variety of options. But right now, I only get silo overflows when I am using several programs that use serial lines heavily, like ftp, news, and netscape. cheerio- John ============== jddst19+@pitt.edu John Duncan Freshman, University of Pittsburgh "I'm not a doctor, but I ate one at the UPMC..."

Didn't help. I'm guessing you run many virtual domains. Before reloading named you need to run the following command: limit openfiles=128 or limit openfiles=360 Or ulimit This expands or removes the shell open files limitation. This is somewhat dependent on your shell. There are many instances of this in the mail archvies. Search for 'named AND open', with the same Hope this helps.

This is from the Handbook: 10.2.1.5. CD Recordable (WORM) drives At the time of this writing, FreeBSD supports 3 types of CDR drives (though I believe they all ultimately come from Phillips anyway): The Phillips CDD 522 (Acts like a Plasmon), the PLASMON RF4100 and the HP 4020i. I myself use the HP 4020i for burning CDROMs (with 2.2-current - it does not work with 2.1.5 or earlier releases of the SCSI code) and it works very well. See /usr/share/examples/worm on your 2.2 system for example scripts used to created ISO9660 filesystem images (with RockRidge extensions) and burn them onto an HP4020i CDR.

I think the controller not supported is the one with caching and "striping" (or RAID, as *they* call it) built in, but I'm not certain.

If the project is to succeed its in the basis of its quality, support, and technical merits, and not by means of cheap tricks. Anyone wish to comment?

I believe in at least 2.0.5, this didn't happen. I am using gcc 2.7.2.1, gdb 4.15.1, and emacs 19.34.2 (with X toolkit), all obtained from ftp.cdrom.com and built by extracting them, typing 'configure' and then 'make'. (Except for gcc, which was a full 3-stage build; follow the INSTALL instructions). This toolset works flawlessly. I had problems with the emacs on the 2.1.5 cdrom, and noted it was not completely up-to-date, so upgraded everything as of about mid-september. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Greetings, The Promise 2300+ DOES work with freebsd. I have it up and running with 2.1.5R. The only caveat is that you HAVE to disable the on card BIOS. Do that, and it's a plain jane IDE controller to FreeBSD. I've been running a 1.08G drive like that with FreeBSD for some time. It's also a dual boot system with DOS and freeBSD. But, my motherboard does LBA for me so if you can, disable LBA and the bios on the card and enable LBA on your motherboard.

Install apsfilter from the packages on the cdrom or ftp server.

In that case, ATAPI support is built into the boot.flp image. The best chanecs of having your CD work is configure it as the slave on the primary EIDE controller on your motherboard. It may also work as the master on the secondary controller.

I fail to understand how this could only suddenly "come to light" for anyone involved with either project, we being very open indeed about it at the time (just search our mailing list archives for freebsd-hackers with Theo as the keyword). We were forced to filter the OpenBSD project because the same hosts and/or IP address range that it uses were also used in repeated attacks against the FreeBSD project's mailing lists and development machines by Theo Deraadt, who actually owns the network in question. These were not covert attacks, they were very open and Theo sent personal mail to several core members threatening to escalate them with the aid of (quote) "his cracker friends." It was at this stage that we added filtering, to try and block (in one small way) such attempts. When the OpenBSD project decides to have someone less criminally inclined as its representative, we'll be happy to discuss this with them. Until then, the man has shown himself unable to exercise a degree of self-restraint which would be consistent with someone of his age and responsibilities, and if he insists on behaving like a 14 year- old cracker then he will obviously be treated as such. It is simply unfortunate in the extreme that he chose to use machines on the same network to conduct his attacks (also misusing a machine at MIT for that purpose, for which its admins were not amused), and has done the OpenBSD project a grave disservice in doing so. We have taken, I believe, only the most appropriate steps to defend ourselves from Theo's juvenile behavior and will continue to do so. > If the project is to succeed its in the basis of its quality, support, > and technical merits, and not by means of cheap tricks. Anyone wish to > comment? This is no "cheap trick", this is self-defense, plain and simple. I only regret that such defense against a "leading light" in the software community is necessary at all. Trust me folks, we have ample documentation for the claims I make above and if you'd like a second opinion, just ask the NetBSD project why it does precisely the same thing with packets from Theo's network. The list of people singularly unimpressed with Theo's behavior in the past and with great reason to distrust it in the future is long indeed.

To do that either: 1. When installing FreeBSD tell it to install into *both* disks, don't creare any partitions on the first one, but tell it to put the boot manager on it. or: 2. Boot DOS (Win95 DOS mode is *not* good enough) and install the boot manager. The installation program is in the \tools directory on the CD and on the ftp sites and is called something like bootinst.exe if I remember correctly :-).

If so you need to configure Sendmail properly (shouldn't be hard, mine worked right out of the box). If not, and you want to use Pine, you have to configure Pine to use IMAP4 to retrieve your mail. This isn't too hard. First, enable incoming folders in the configuration editor. Then get to the screen that lists folders, and choose A)dd. Follow the prompts. If Pine is unable to connect, your ISP might not be running IMAPd, in which case bug them and they probably will install it.

Agreed. I've never liked dump much, either. On a DDS tape, you'll find that the backup runs a whole lot faster if you use 64 kB blocks: # tar cvbf 128 /dev/rst0 / > Try reading the man pages on tar, pax, and dump.

I gotta get a little BSD box here at work... ;^) The man page is in section 4 of the manual, which describes special devices, not commands.

This is all completely correct, but it's probably a good idea to (at least initially) stick to a convention such as some other operating systems impose: disks on ID 0 to 3, tapes on IDs 4 and 5, CD-ROM on ID 6. If you mount your tapes and CD-ROM in a shoebox, you can then move them from system to system relatively easily. Of course, if you have more than 4 disks, 2 tapes or 1 CD-ROM, there's nothing to stop you using other IDs, as long as one is free. None of you guys answered Ozge's real question: > I have the 1st edition of the book written by Nemeth. In this book > it is claimed that there must be a command like "format", but I couldn't > find it. The program is scsiformat, but you almost certainly don't need it. Nemeth and Co. recommend it just to be certain. I'm not sure I agree with them. In any case, that's the easy part. The more difficult part is setting up the disk layout (pages 140-142). Unfortunately, the OS-specific details they describe later in the chapter differ enough from FreeBSD to be almost useless. > Could you explain how can a new harddisk be added to PC running > FreeBSD on it? The simple answer is "Buy 'The Complete FreeBSD'", which describes this procedure in some detail. I'm working on getting it online, but it won't be real soon.

It's not a disaster, it's a historical quirk. The cpio format has only 2 bytes for the inode number (the inode is the real file description; the file names in the directories just point to the inode). I've forgotten why it's there in the first place, and since inodes have gone to 4 bytes, any large disk will have lots of inode numbers which won't fit in two bytes. You don't need the inode number when restoring the files, so you don't need to worry (but it sure is a nuisance :-) You're probably better off using tar.

Unfortunately, my provider has a fairly limited number of definitions I can give him on what to feed (and they only feed during half the day), and consequently with a 56k feed, we often end up with expired messages in the queue and have to receive far more articles than we actually carry. What I'd like to do is use FBSD to streamline the process and unload the poor BBS machine. What I'm trying to do is to use suck to pull the specific newsgroups we carry and then use innxmit to send them to the BBS. I've done this manually, and it seems to work, without requiring innd to be installed. This gives me a simple installation, but I worry that it doesn't maintain any sort of history. I've just been copying suck.newrc over sucknewsrc after a run to keep the counters correct. Is there something wrong in this approach, or is there a better way to do this? The man page for innxmit seems to imply I have to run sendnntp (and hence innd)... but if I'm not running news on BSD, do I really have to worry about locking and so on? Without innd I take it I can't throttle the transfer process? (do I need to?)

The modem never even got the OH light on. As per someones suggestions I changed "add 0 0 255.255.255.0" to "set ifaddr 0/0 0/0" and now I don't even get as far as before.

I know the modem is ok, because I use with OS/2 and because with previous ppp.conf I could dial with "term" from ppp. Is it possible one of the lines in the ppp.conf is setting my modem in a state where it can no longer accept anything?

Here it is (page 116): How to fry your monitor Remember that a monitor is just a glorified TV? Well, one of the design constraints of real TVs is that they have only a single horizontal frequency and only a single vertical frequency. This simplifies the hardware design considerably: the horizontal deflection uses a tuned circuit to create both the deflection frequency and the high voltage required to run the tube. This circuit is comprised of a transformer (the line transformer) and a condenser. Run a line transformer even fractionally off its intended frequency and it will run much less efficiently and use more current, which gets converted to heat. If you run a conventional monitor off spec for any length of time, it will burn out the line transformer. You don't have to roll your own X configuration to burn out the monitor: ten years ago, the standard display boards were CGAs and HDAs, and they had different line frequencies and thus required different monitors. Unfortunately, they both used the same data connector. If you connected an HDA (18.43 kHz line frequency) to a CGA monitor (15.75 kHz, the NTSC line frequency), you could expect smoke signals within a few minutes. Modern PC monitors no longer use line transformers, and there are few of them which can't handle at least a range of line frequencies, but this doesn't mean you can't damage them--you'll just burn out something else, frequently the power supply. In addition, just because the monitor displays correctly doesn't mean that it is running in spec. I have a rather elderly Eizo 9500 (called Nanao in the US) which has three frequency ranges: (exactly) 31.5 kHz, 48 to 50 kHz, or 64 to 78 kHz. In fact, it will display at any frequency between 48 and 78 kHz, but if it were run at 57 kHz for any length of time, I would be in for a hefty repair bill. The moral of the story: Never run your monitor out of spec. If your display is screwed up, there's a good chance that the frequencies are out, so turn off the monitor. Monitors aren't the only thing that you can burn out, of course. If you try hard, you can also burn out chips on some display boards by running them at frequencies which are out of spec. In practice, though, this doesn't happen nearly as often. > The # on the cdrom is ISBN 1-57176-079-2 Really? Unfortunately, that doesn't identify the book uniquely, but I haven't seen one with this ISBN. I'm assuming that you have "The Complete FreeBSD", but my copy has the ISBN 1-57176-159-4.

It is fixed by installing the "compat" libraries. I grabbed them from ftp.freebsd.org.

I was wondering if you can help me regarding this. The details are as follows, - card: Diamond Stealth 64, 2 MB VRAM - ViewSonic 17GS monitor with plug and play capability ( ?? ) Automatic tracking of horizontal freq. of 30-69 kHz and vert. 50-160 Hz compatible with VGA, SVGA, VESA and high resolution video modes upto 1280(H) * 1024 (V) I wanted to know which server I will have to select for this setting ( I suppose for this video card ) and what I will have to set for "monitor" and "screen" section of XF86Config ? And ofcourse anything else which I need to set. Thank you very much for the help in advance. Miten. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Miten N.

I would say, pretty good. That much data would be hard to pass without SOMETHING going wrong. It is these cases that the split(1) command was made for. :) Split it into bite-size chunks and send. This is what FreeBSD uses to make the bin.aa, bin.bb...archives for distribution.

You can just re-run the install procedure and this time MOUNT the filesystems instead of NEWFSing them. Needless to say back up anything important before proceeding.

You can use disklabel -r to look at the disklabels and see if you have any B partitions assigned on your disks. You can then edit /etc/fstab to point to the new swap space. You'd have either to destroy & recreate your partitions in order to get more swap space, or lose some speed and create a vmswap (?) file. I can't remember the actual name. See the mail archives for this solution, I think someone posted it a while back.

Quick checklist: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Yes. set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 38400 For the flow control, remember you rmodem must follow along too. I just set the dial string to do an 'ATZ' which recalls settings I've saved in the modem that enable DTR recognition and hardware flow control, among other things. Data compression is up to you.

You should be able to extract the components from ftp.freebsd.org..../XF8632/XF32*.tgz into /usr/X11R6. You don't need everything, just the bits you installed before.

To solve this, you will need to recompile your Kernel. Increase the maxusers options to 32. I think this option in your kernel is setted to 10 ( default value ). Also add this two lines : options "CHILD_MAX=128" options "OPEN_MAX=128" This will solve your problem.

Do I have to unmount then remount the cd every time I change the cd? Is there anything in ports that will help. Also is there anything for DOS disk drives? I tried to install the netscape3 port but it couldn't find the file on any of the systems I tried. There wasn't a problem with my internet connection because I have just installed pine. Where can I get netscape, or is there a better www browser? I was looking in the news directory in ports and there are many newsreaders, witch one is the best, Is there one with emacs? if so how do I set it up? How can I add more terminal windows (or whatever they are called, you get to them by pressing ALT-F1..) there are three on my system now and I would like to add more. Thanks!

However, it doesn't want to do anything useful :-( (commands & results below). The drive is connected to the SCSI bus between the HD & CD-ROM, and the terminating resistors were removed. I am not aware of any other system "funnies" which might be attributable to poor SCSI cabling or bad termination. I notice from the boot probe (see below) that the drive appears to have v1.05 firmware, compared to another recent posting to the list having v1.06. The system is stock 2.1.0 installed from CD-ROM. I have the 2.1.5 CD-ROM (have held off installing on this system until I could back it up adequately), and plan on snarfing a 2.1.6 CD-ROM as soon as they become available here.

It doesn't seem to be a problem, so I treat it as a status light (BSD is alive). If it would blink from time to time it would be a bonus, computers haven't been the same since they took away the flashing lights. ____________ Scott Morris GTE Telecommunication Services smorris@tsi.gte.com 813-273-3917 *** My opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. *** From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 26 05:47:45 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id FAA20544 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 05:47:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from krondor.cpn.org.au (slip1.tas.gov.au [147.109.237.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id FAA20519 for ; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 05:47:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from krondor.cpn.org.au (krondor.cpn.org.au [172.16.1.1]) by krondor.cpn.org.au (8.7.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id AAA00548; Fri, 27 Dec 1996 00:46:34 +1100 (EST) Date: Fri, 27 Dec 1996 00:46:33 +1100 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@krondor.cpn.org.au To: "Miten N.

I have a Diamond Stealth 64, 2 MB VRAM card with the S3 968 chipset and a ViewSonic 17PS monitor. You will need to use the S3 server if you have a 968 card. If you have one of the newer Virge chipset cards, you will need to use the S3V (or something like that) server in XFree86-3.2. I used xf86config to set it up first and then fine tuned it with xvidtune once it was running.

Yes, you must unmount and remount your drive. In many cases, if your fstab entries are set up right (I think...?) you can do mount /cdrom and umount /cdrom without having to specify the other bits. Is there something else you're trying to do? I believe that DOS drives are supported by a FAT filesystem--I've heard, however, that there are potential data-loss issues in at least some cases when using the FAT filesystem. Most DOS CDROMs are ISO 9600, though, and should use mount_cd9600 or the above shorthand. > > I tried to install the netscape3 port but it couldn't find the file on any > of the systems I tried.

Where can I get netscape, or is there a > better www browser? netscape is just about the best, I suppose, although lynx is nice if you don't have X windows running. I think Netscape has upped the version (from 3.0 to 3.0.1). I'd suggest going to ftp.freebsd.org , /pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11 and looking there for the netscape port. You can download the whole port directory (which you'll need) by using a 'get netscape.tar.gz' in the directory holding the port directory (confusing--sorry). > > I was looking in the news directory in ports and there are many > newsreaders, witch one is the best, Is there one with emacs? if so how do I > set it up? Opinions differ. The ones which get reasonably good press: For X windows: knews nn-tk gnus For character based: (s?)trn slrn nn gnus gnus is written _in_ emacs, so it uses emacs directly. nn, slrn, and trn can be configured to use any editor you want, including emacs. I'm not sure about knews. I use nn, although I wish for a few configuration features because I use it fairly oddly. > > How can I add more terminal windows (or whatever they are called, you get > to them by pressing ALT-F1..) there are three on my system now and I would > like to add more.

One follow-up to Doug's advice -- in order to be able to "su" to root when logged in as a user other than root (e.g. yourself), you'll probably need to add yourself to group 0. You'll know it if you see this error: su: you are not in the correct group to su root. when you try. If so, log out, log back in as root, edit /etc/group, and add your username to the group with ID 0. E.g. change: wheel:*:0:root to: wheel:*:0:root,jason Have fun!

Basicly an extra directory thrown in to allow an additional type of access via the group permissions (typically). Any given directory or file can belong to just one group, which is a royal pain. The control directory provides a means to simulate multiple group ownership in a limited fashion. Back to the example from my posting (to which only you replied: grrrr...): Owner Group Mode man_readable_c eng2_member eng1 drwxr-x--- | +- man_readable eng2_member eng2 drwxrwxr-x | +- (files) eng2_member eng2 -rwxrwxr-x Here the goal is to allow one group (eng2, who also should belong to group eng1) to have read+write access and another group (eng1) to have just read access. Members of eng1 access the contents of man_readable_c via that directory's group permissions. The, eng1 members can gain read-only access to the contents of man_readable via man_readable's 'other' permission field. > > In his article, Doug Morris also speaks of a technique of using hard links > > of directories to achieve a similar effect.

Do a search of the hackers discussion list for the string "hard linked directories." There were quite a number of illuminating posts on this particular topic a few months ago. >From what I've gleaned from these postings, one of the biggest problems with them is the potential for creating loops in the file tree, which fsck is generally very unhappy about. If one is very careful not to create such loops _is_ it possible to safely employ hard-linked directories (and keep fsck happy) ?

As someone else pointed out, its only 60M or 70M because the on-the-fly tar at ftp.cdrom.com doesn't follow the symbolic links. However, I suggest *not* requesting gzip on this particular suite of files as most everything is already gzipped, and the result might be bigger. I remember several years ago a friend downloaded Linux tar'ed and gzip'ed from sunsite.unc.edu. The tar.gz file was 130M. After gunzip (yes, gUNzip) it was only 90M. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Q2: What and where can I set the default and rebuild my kernel so that I have an unlimited or large (say 200) procs? Q3: What code can I build in to my application to let it do all the forks it needs to? and will this require the application to run suid?

The HAYES protocol (which is the main protocol for most modems since at least the mid-80s) requires a pause between the +'es. The length of this pause is usually (always?) user-settable, with a default of about .2 seconds (?). A +++ stream as data will not drop the modem to command mode. I'm also having problems with my modem not ALWAYS dropping the connection on a PPP exit (userland PPP on FreeBSD 2.1.0 and 2.1.6), and would consider it a Good Thing if the PPP program sent +\w+\w+\w\wATH0\cr on a close/exit. This modem respect DTR, but it seems that PPP doesn't always clear that line.

If you have browser access, then point to http://www.freebsd.org/ and read all of the documentation there. At the ftp site you should start with all of the *.TXT files. I would recommend you get the bin, flopies, manpages, ports, and maybe tools. You can have the site bundle up what you want by requesting the directory as a tar file or gziped tar file.

I have noticed I get the "No buffer space" under several conditions, most of which involve "stalls" of networking stuff. An enabled de interface with nothing connected will cause this.

I don't know whether this was a hackup or a severe statd failure. If init died then most likely your /bin directory is corrupted; you'll have to try reinstalling. Just MOUNT your filesystems instead of NEWFSing them, and install the bin distribution again. You'll probably have to rebuild your kernel as it'll be overwritten. You shouldn't lose any data if you do the install properly. Other suggestions welcome.

Your 3rd and 4th disks are out of the reach of your BIOS. Either move your FreeBSD disk up to the slave position on your primary controller or use a boot floppy and type wd(3,a)/kernel to boot.

Your NCR doesn't seem to appreciate the tape. You might verify that your cable is okay and termination correct. Remember, termination at the ends of the chain only. The NCR will terminate itself properly; make sure the last thing in the chain is terminated and that nothing else is.

The card runs fine under DOS, and when booting FreeBSD 2.1.5-R, but as the de0 driver loads, both the link light and the transmit/receive light on the SMC card go dead. The screen says: de0 rev 32 int a irq 11 on pci0:19 de0: DC21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:5a:a8:e9 de0: enabling 100baseTX UTP port It's hard to judge by eye, but it seems like the card dies before the 3rd line of the output appears on screen. DOS also finds this card on IRQ 11. I poked around in the questions archives and discovered I needed to # ifconfig de0 -link2 to put the driver into 10Mb/sec mode, but that didn't help. The machine responds that it is "enabling 10baseT UTP port", but the state of the card (dead) doesn't change. A couple of times when issuing this command manually, I got the message: /kernel: de0: abnormal interrupt: 0xfc268504 [0x08100] This seemed to be triggered by issuing "ifconfig de0 -link2" more than once, but wasn't always repeatable. Does this suggest an IRQ problem? I tried adding the -link2 option to the de0 config during a re-install of FreeBSD but that didn't help. I also tried a modified kernel with minimal drivers enabled, but the result was the same.

I've also thought of another way that would obviate all these scores of forks:: Using whatever IPC that FBSD has might work. Is there a way that one program can send a flag to another program?

OSes: Windows 95 installed on the 1.2 GB Hard drive. History: I received a copy of FreeBSD 2.1.5, Walnut Creek CD-ROM with installation guide (Christmas you know). I first tried installing from a floppy/CD ROM. After creating the boot disk, I rebooted my system. When the floppy based boot process reached the "Boot: (short pause)" the system went into an infinite loop printing the following line: "Error: C:0 H:0 S:0". I then tried booting from the CD ROM. This process allowed me to partition my 340MB hard drive and make several configuration choices. However, I was unable to select my CD-ROM drive as my installation media. I received the following error message: "No CD-ROM found on the system". I then tried (can you say "desperation") to build a minimal configuration by copying the /DIST/BIN and /DIST/FLOPPIES directories from my CD to a small DOS partition on my 340 MB drive. This allowed my to successfully build my FreeBSD system. However, when the system rebooted the boot manager failed to prompt me for which operating system to load. It just booted up Windows-95. HELP!! Goal: I would like to install FreeBSD onto my 340MB hard drive and have the boot manager prompt me for which OS to boot! Is this possible? Thank, William PS.

Is there any way to still use my FreeBSD server as an Internet server under Windows 95 using Internet Explorer 3.01 or other browser????. If so, please help me in configuring Windows 95 and/or Explorer to do so. Thanks a whole lot!. Merry Christmas and Happy 1997.

As a first stage in automating the process I thought I'd try automating the login process with pap. Does anyone have an example they could share? I think my problem is creating /etc/ppp/pap-secrets, I know the "secret", but have questions about how to indicate my login user name. Adding +pap and -chap to /etc/ppp/options produces a message pppd: peer authentication required but no authentication files accessible What permissions should the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file have? Am guessing read-only for root is best. Normally I dial out as myself but the above error was as root. Possibly ought to use ppp rather than pppd but I got pppd working first. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

You need to change the 0.75a suffix for the shared libraries to 0.75 I changed the configure.in and re-ran autoconf, but you can just as easily make some hard links in the libXm and libMrm directories. Apparently the ld command uses the actual name of the shared library in some way, and the 'a' was confusing it.

First, sorry for the last post, hit the wrong key and sent it by accident. Now, use your favorite text editor and edit /etc/sysconfig In the NetConfig section there is entries for host name, ip address, etc. Change it there and do a restart.

First thing I did was to reconfigure the machine so that the ether card was on irq 10 instead of 11. Don't know if that helped or not. What did make a big difference was to reconfigure the kernel so that it didn't do any other probes on the same irq as the ether card. Seems the probes were somehow trashing the card.

ENOBUFS ("No buffer space available") can be returned for a lot of reasons. One of them is when the interface output queue has reached the limit (usually 50 packets).

Assuming yes, where is some > sample code?? Sure. Signals are a simple, but error prone way. A UNIX-domain socket or a FIFO would work well, or even a MSGQ. You can find instructions on using most (or maybe all) of these in W. Richard Stevens' excellent books _UNIX Network Programming_ (0-13-949876-1) and _Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment_ (0-201-56317-7), both from Prentice Hall. Your 'can't fork' messages may be caused by the per-process limits on child processes. Are you gathering the status of your child processes with wait(2) at any point? If not, all of your child processes will remain counted against your per-process limit until you wait() for them. Richards UNIX book will explain the UNIX process model and the relation- ship between parent and child processes better than I can here. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

So few Americans understand the difference between "You are free to do as you wish", which is freedom, and "you can have this without paying me for it", which is cost reduction. How this ever became associated with the word "free" is beyond me; it is quite an ugly abuse of the language. Perhaps this perversion was introduced into the language by the Trilateral Commission as yet another attempt to enslave us through language? ;^) Followup redirect to chat, as appropriate. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

All thanks to stability, reliability, and functionality of FreeBSD. Thanks core team members! Anyway, my question: Our (very small) consulting firm was going to put together a BSD box on an Arcnet network, but saw that the ethernet board we had from their site was not listed in the hardware compatibiliy guide. I'm assuming that it is not supported. They have since thought about installing ethernet in their offices. I just wanted to confirm this info. Thanks for any help! --Chris - Christopher K.

Recently I purchased FreeBSD Release 2.1.5 and installed on my machine for developer package. I tried to run a small program hello.c to print on screen. After editing hello.c and I compile it as as: gcc -o hello hello.c hello It supposed to print: Hello World! However, the system responded: "Command not found" I checked file mode hello and it was rwxr_xr_x. It should run. Also I made a perl script to rpint "Hello world!". I set the script mode as 777 after editing. When I tried to run it, it gave me the same error message as before for c program hello. What do I have to do to run it? Would you please help me out? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I came in this morning to find that my /var was at 101% capacity and that eMail could not be saved. I did a quick fix by linking the mail dir to a ristricted dir in the /usr volume but that did not have much space left on it either. Here is my problem. I added another hard disk. A huge external 640mb scsi 1 disk. It has one partition on it now (first I dd'ed it to kill any remander and then used Adaptec's AFDISK utility to give it one partition. when the system boots it shows up ok: (ahac0:2:0):"CDC 9419-15 5376" type 0 fixed scsi 1 sd1: Direct-Access 641MB (1312975 512 bytes sectors) but when I try to: disklabel -rw sd1 auto it tells me that it is an unknown disk type! I'm stuck here. I was doing this in single user mode. Any help would be appricheated, this mail is going through a different server so I will get it but I don't know how much more mail the main server can handle. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.

I've already tried a FIFO; close, but no cigar. Looks like spawning a new proc is the bbest way. I have an older version of Stevens' networking text. Probably ought to check out the _Advanced_ book.

Can he boot from a boot disk first and back up /etc? That's always a good idea. Add that before reinstalling: use the fixit floppy and back up /etc to somewhere safe. It shouldn't WIPE /etc, but files will probably end up replaced. Thanks for the hint....matt, you listening?

I don't think the ArcNet TRXNET stuff is supported, no. It's soooo old, you'd be doing them a favor upgrading them.

Or is there an easier way? OK, I've read so much whining about this topic on this list over the (2) years, I'm going to finally say it: CREATING A DISKTAB ENTRY IS CHILDS PLAY! JUST DO IT! There. got that out of my system. Get a calculator (xcalc or bc will do). Read the label pasted on the top of your disk drive. See where it tells you how many sectors, heads, and cylinders your disk has? That's everything you need to know. When creating the parition sizes, remember that you a) leave off any partitions you don't want, and b) swap partitions are always "b". Calculate the size of a cylinder, in blocks, and make all partition sizes and offsets multiples of this size. Example: Seagate ST3120A (I happen to have one of these lying on my desk): 17 sectors/track 12 heads (or tracks/cylinder) 1024 cyliners Lets say for some reason you're dumb enought to waste an IDE slot for this little gem. With calculator in hand (well, in mouse) we calc: 1 cylinder = 17 * 12 = 204 blocks, or just about 10K bytes. Let's say we want to create a 16M swap partition and dedicate the rest of the disk to a single storage partition. This gives us: part offset size b 0 32640 (160 cyls) c 0 208896 (whole disk) h 32640 176256 (rest of disk from b) Now just edit this information into disktab and label your disk.

Problem: ...... --------------------------------------- First few pixel columns ( on left most part ) seems to be wrapped around to right most part - like half scroll bar column on the window which starts at extreme left can be seen on extreme right of the window. I read the whole chapter 7 and 8 of FreeBSD book and think that it is probably due to improper setting of register values, but don't know how to correct them so that the image on the screen is not wrapped around. If you know the solution of this problem or if you can tell any pointers for probable solution, it will be very helpful to me. Or if you can send me your "XF86Config" file that may also be helpful. -------------------------------- What I have done so far ..... I learned that my chipset was S3 vers. 968 with 2 MB VRAM with hori. Sync signal of 31.5 KHz - 96.6 KHz and Vert. Sync Signal 43.5 Hz - 120 Hz ( got information from www.diamondmm.com ). I also came to know about the monitor that it is ViewSonic 17GS with hori Freq. 30-69 KHz and vert Freq. 50-160 Hz. So I configured the video part by using "xf86config" and I am almost done. I was not getting it proper and I found out that due to less freq. resolution on monitor I was not able to get 1280*1024 mode and so I configured for 1024*768 ( and put comment for all other mode lines for modes like 800*600 and 640*480, and had to set virtual mode to 1024*768, because when it was 1280*1024, I was not getting whole screen at a time and when I move mouse out of the screen, I used to get remaining part ) and it is fine ... but still I have got the problem I told you as above. The mode line in XF86Config is as following, ... ******************************************** # 1024x768 @ 76 Hz, 62.5 kHz hsync modeline "1024x768" 85.00 1024 1028 1148 1360 768 784 787 823 output from of vditune ... ********************** Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1 hsync range 0: 30.00 - 69.00 vsync range 0: 50.00 - 160.00 "1024x768" 85.00 1024 1028 1148 1360 768 784 787 823 ------------------------------ Thanks again, >Cheers, >Carey Bye and take care.

If yo've already tried a FIFO and can't get your information from one process to another, none of the other options are going to help you; they are more generalized forms of communication. You should carefull consider what it is that the parent process really needs to tell the child process. % Your 'can't fork' messages may be caused by the per-process limits on % child processes. Are you gathering the status of your child processes % with wait(2) at any point? If not, all of your child processes will % remain counted against your per-process limit until you wait() for them. % Richards UNIX book will explain the UNIX process model and the relation- % ship between parent and child processes better than I can here. ;^) > This is most probably it. I can't do a wait because the > program I'm forking infinite-loops until I change state. > The wait() would wait infinitely. Not unless you tell it to... Use wait3 with options set to WNOHANG. If no chile processes have exited, it will just return 0 immediately. You definitely need a good book on UNIX programming; none of this is difficult, but you just cannot find this information in the man pages. > Hmm. There's got to be other ways of doing this.... Probably, there always are. You just need a few good lessons in The UNIX Way (tm) I just found this cool little snippet of code in _UNIX Network Programming_: sigchld_parent() { union wait status; int pid; again: pid = wait3(&status, WNOHANG | WUNTRACED, (struct rusage *) 0); if (pid == 0) return; goto again; } Early in your main program, you need to handle SIGCHLD with this routine: ... signal(SIGCHLD, sigchld_parent); ... This will automagically reap (and ignore) the return status of *all* child processes. Does this help?

I currently multi-boot win95, Linux, and FreeBSD on the same machine. I used the ppp command to connect to work and this worked fine for a few days, now all I get when I dial in is gibberish on the screen. I feel that this is possibly related to a handshaking problem. The modem is a 28.8 internal on set to com2 - com2 on the motherboard as been disabled. Does anyone know what to look for - the same system works fine with linux & windows95, and was working fine with freebsd until tonight :-( Problem 2 - X-windows I've re-compiled the kernal with option XSERVER enabled (the modem worked ok with the new kernal) however when I startx the screen goes blank and the system crashes - I've also tried /stand/sysinstall and selected config XF86 in there but with the same result. Again XFree86 runs fine under the Linux system. The video card is a 2Mb PCI S3Triov+ Any pointers would greartly be appreciated.

However, if this file is manually created(at least once), mountd works fine. A file named /var/db/moundbtab is installed. Could there be an error in the installation scripts? Is mountdtab supposed to be created but for some reason and incorrect file called mountdbtab is created instead?

The upgrade is in the form of a DAT tape which upgrades the firware in flash memory. Seagate feels that the update is the vendor's responsibility but will ship the tape to a third-party customer on a case-by-case basis. The changers as shipped work with FreeBSD (2.1.6; AHA 1740A BIOS rev 1.35) but may be the source of catastrophic damage to mounted filesystems which occurs when a bad spot is found on the tape. They also work under NT 3.51 (sorry:-) ) but are picky about tapes; they work fine with ARCserve 5.01g under Novell 4.1 with patches (really sorry :-)). (This is apropos a message posted some time ago regarding these changers).

It sounded like your ISP had set up smtp delivery to your machine rather than to their own mail spool, and if that was the case, then local reading would work (of course :-)). > Anyways, > I'm waiting to hear from my isp's tech-support as to whether they run > imap or not. I don't know. I just want to be able to pull messages off > my shell account (@ javanet). > Pine, I have heard, doesn't support pop Yep, sure it does. Pine supports both POP2 and POP3. Just don't use it for your default folder since it quite won't work as you expect. Pine will allow it, but it keeps your primary "INBOX" open while it runs, so you'll never see any new mail in there due to deficiencies built into the braindead POP3 protocol. IMAP, unlike POP, is intended for interactive use, whereas POP3 is a (very) simple mail download protocol where the number of messages available MUST NOT be updated during a single session regardless of reality. You also lose the abilitity to U)ndelete messages, along with a slew of other features most Pine users enjoy. The idea is to add any pop3 folder as a secondary "incoming folder", and download any mail there immediately you open it to your local system, where you can work on it and enjoy all the facilities Pine has to offer. To set Pine up to read via pop3, edit your .pinerc and set or change the following: # If you're running sendmail locally, you won't need this. # This tells Pine to deliver mail your send to your ISP # rather than hand it off to your local /usr/sbin/sendmail smtp-server=your.isp.smtp.server.fqdn # Leave this blank, and point it to your local inbox # which will be /var/mail/yourname inbox-path= # Adds the POP3 connection as another folder incoming-folders="POP Mail" {your.isps.fqdn/pop3}INBOX > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (note the format of this line in particular) # Add these features (select any others you might like too) feature-list=enable-incoming-folders, enable-aggregate-command-set [fdqn=fully qualified domain name - ie. your host's address] Now, run up Pine, and change folders with L to your ISP POP folder. Enter your name and password when requested (you'll have to enter this each time, or hack the Pine sources to enable the "save login and password to disk feature, which is enabled by default only for single-user OSs, like DOS/Win/OS2). If any mail is there, mark it all with ";A" and S)ave it to your primary INBOX. Bingo - you've just "downloaded" your mail. :-) Just make sure that you read and respond to mail directly from your own inbox rather than the POP folder - it'll save you a lot of headache. I hope this helps.

Use popclient in the Ports collection to pull from a POP server and move the mail to your local INBOX. You can then use Pine to read and respond.

If you're using version 2.1.5 or earlier (and maybe 2.1.6, I'm not sure) avoid msdosfs, it can hose your DOS or FreeBSD data. The developers think they've fixed the problem in 2.2, but the problem is too elusive to be sure (I think that's the story, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :).

Netscape isn't on the CD -- installing the port just fetches the tarball off the net. If your net connection is up that should work fine. I had some problems with keysyms using netscape 3.0 with XFree86 3.2, but netscape 2 works fine. > > > > I was looking in the news directory in ports and there are many > > newsreaders, witch one is the best, Is there one with emacs? if so how do I > > set it up? > > Opinions differ.

You're right, but there's a little more to it than that. You need to edit the MAXCONS line in your kernel config file, recompile and reinstall your kernel, change the lines in /etc/ttys, and use "MAKEDEV vtyn" to create the devices, where n is the number of the vty you're creating. Make sure you leave one vty turned off in /etc/ttys so Xwindows can use it. Also (this trips a lot of people up) you should know that to switch vtys from Xwindows you need to hit ctrl-alt-Fn instead of just alt-Fn. > > > > Thanks! > > Daniel Keller > > > > "What does friend mean to you? > > A word so wrongfully abused." > > -Frogs by Alice in Chains > > ------------------------------ > > dkeller@psln.com > > ------------------------------ > > bryan k. ogawa > Ben From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 28 16:45:11 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id QAA05723 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 28 Dec 1996 16:45:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from echonyc.com (echonyc.com [198.67.15.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA05718 for ; Sat, 28 Dec 1996 16:45:09 -0800 (PST) Received: (from benedict@localhost) by echonyc.com (8.8.4/8.8.3) id TAA01498; Sat, 28 Dec 1996 19:45:03 -0500 (EST) Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 19:45:01 -0500 (EST) From: Snob Art Genre To: Stan Brown cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Sound card recomendations for FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <199612281343.IAA22106@netcom23.netcom.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 Sat, 28 Dec 1996, Stan Brown wrote: > > > I plan on buying a sound card for my FreebSD machine in the near > future.

The problem is that the file libraries aren't available through the Web interface yet, and I'd like to be able to download some stuff before then. The telnet interface supports download by Kermit or X/Y/ZMODEM. On FreeBSD, I've tried to telnet in using Kermit, but the remote end has a lousy Kermit protocol with a fixed 90-byte packet size, so the transfer rate is abysmal (think 2400 bps modem speeds :-( ). However, I haven't been able to get ZMODEM to work through telnet, even when I telnet to myself! Is there some limitation of the ZMODEM protocol that prevents it from working through telnet, or is there a bug in the port of Kermit to FreeBSD which isn't redirecting the stdio to ZMODEM properly?

Be sure to include the following in your kernel configuration if you want them to work: options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG Technically, you only need the first and the last, but why not get semaphores while you're at it? Has anyone out there ever wrapped a class around these so they're a little more usable? The SYSV IPC mechanisms are pretty powerful, but the semaphores and message queues have an *awful* interface. Hmmm... a nice little weekend (or two) project in C++ class construction. Any takers? (I.e. I don't want to do it myself; call me lazy.) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I have manged to hack getty and I have two new versions: 1) allows you to type in any name and you will be logged in as them without providing a password. 2) just runs my shell which was the original idea. If anyone wants the diffs (I just modified getty straight from the 2.1.6 source) just mail me but I don't imagine there will be much demand :-) My next task I think will be to try and get telnetd to give my shell without anymore prompting when I telnet from my mac. Unfortuantely telnetd appears to call login differently to getty. rlogin would accomplish this but I don't have an rlogin client :-( Andrew From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 28 23:29:10 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id XAA17762 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 28 Dec 1996 23:29:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from xi.omniscient.com (root@cust89.max1.seattle.aa.net [205.199.141.89]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id XAA17756 for ; Sat, 28 Dec 1996 23:29:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (smpatel@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by xi.omniscient.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id XAA07048; Sat, 28 Dec 1996 23:28:49 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 23:28:47 -0800 (PST) From: Sujal Patel X-Sender: smpatel@xi.omniscient.com To: Greg Burch cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: re: Patches for Soundblaster PNP and 2.1.5 In-Reply-To: <32B95E03.41C67EA6@qosnet.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, 19 Dec 1996, Greg Burch wrote: > I'm trying to get the Soundblaster PNP to work on 2.1.5.
