Thanks for your time Yes and no, respectively; FreeBSD can coexist with Win95. There are some small inconveniences in the install process having to do with Win95's restrictions on direct disk access (no big deal), and FreeBSD can't read the new VFAT32 Win95 filesystem (this doesn't concern you unless you're using Windows 97), and other than that there are no problems that I know of. > > Ben Xu > Ben From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 5 05:43:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id FAA29876 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Jan 1997 05:43:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from cyclone.degnet.baynet.de (root@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de [194.95.214.129]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id FAA29837 for ; Sun, 5 Jan 1997 05:41:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from nada (ppp3 [194.95.214.133]) by cyclone.degnet.baynet.de (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA18108; Sun, 5 Jan 1997 15:42:55 +0100 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970105143359.0069d1f8@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de> X-Sender: moos@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Sun, 05 Jan 1997 14:34:10 -0100 To: Vincent Poy From: Darius Moos Subject: Re: FreeBSD ethernet alias setup Cc: questions@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I know, I lost the reply and couldn't find it.

Some little modifications are needed under FreeBSD-2.1.5: When chaining alias-arguments in one ifconfig-command, ifconfig only executes the first alias, the trailing aliases are dropped. So every alias needs an own ifconfig-call. You would have to shift through the words of the line >alias_ed1="alias x.x.x.x alias y.y.y.y alias z.z.z.z" and extract the appropriate arguments for ifconfig in the for-loop. Darius Moos.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I wonder if anyone on the list may have experience with Packard Bell machines, running FreeBSD? The reason for the question is, a local store is selling excess stock that didn't sell during the holiday season at a price that is very, very, tempting. Actually, the price is only a little more than the cost of a decent motherboard, and it is for a complete system, including monitor, 4X CD-ROM, etc. The processor is a 75Mhz Pentium. I don't know the whole story of the Pentium line, but would it be reasonable to assume that the cpu could be readily upgraded? Thats a detail that might depend entirely on the capability of the board in the machine, and I know little about PB, other than the adverse stories of the recent past. Are they still using "refurbished" stuff and selling it as new? Do their machines use standard memory components, so they could be easily upgraded with parts from other vendors, etc? They don't mention the vendor, but the machine includes an video accelerator type of card, and the machine is billed as a "multimedia home PC". The monitor is one of those goofy looking things with speakers glued to its sides. It is a model 4240. Anyone have any comments on its insides, and whether it might be as good a buy as it appears to be? My current machine is an old 486 box, and I need space for an additional HD, etc. Running an AMD 486/133, so this machine would not really be much of an upgrade in itself in terms of performance, but if possible, I would quickly upgrade its cpu and memory. Would this be a decent platform to build on or not?

As for upgrades, Intel is currently selling a 125 MHz upgrade for 75 MHz Pentiums. As for components, I've had no problems installing 4 MB and 8 MB SIMMs, and I also installed a USRobotics 28.8 Kbps internal modem, no problem. My machine has a Cirrus Logic GD5434 graphics chip, and it seems fine, though I don't have much to compare it to. And yes, I have the monitor with the goofy speakers. You wouldn't *HAVE* to use those speakers, though. > My current machine is an old 486 box, and I need space for an > additional HD, etc. Running an AMD 486/133, so this machine would not > really be much of an upgrade in itself in terms of performance, but if > possible, I would quickly upgrade its cpu and memory.

Apparently these are factory refurbs. The built-in video is pretty crappy and the memory expansion is fairly limited (2 spare slots plus 8M onboard). I haven't tried putting FBSD on one, but one of our support staff had tons of troubles trying to install Linux... On the other hand, my workstation has an AMD "586" (which I guess is essentially a 133MHz 486) and the board and processor only cost $100 at the time I bought it. Probably cheaper now. Grab a 2G drive for $200, a nice ATI 2M graphics card for $80, a $30 case, and a cheapo 3Com for $70, and you've got a decent non-server box. It's more than adequate for a workstation. I have a similar machine with Win95 running at home, and again, performance is very comfy. 32M of RAM is only $150 now, so I loaded up. More memory seems to be much better than more processor...

You guys have done a great job of making the installation a lot easier. Once I figured out that I had to turn off the PnP features of my Network card, it was a snap to install over the Net. Thanks to everyone involved. I've got a couple of quick questions: 1) I selected emacs for installation during the initial process. I also selected the development option (I think there was one). When I tried running emacs, it complained that it couldn't find libgcc.261.0.so or something like that. I couldn't find that library anywhere. I don't know if I missed a package or what. I ended up just rebuilding 19.34. I thought there might be a problem though. 2) I've successfully configured my FreeBSD machine as an NIS client. I can successfully query our SGI Master NIS server, but there seems to be some weird behavior. First of all, I can't seem to get netgroup access control to work in the hosts.equiv file. Does that not work yet or was I probably missing something? Also, I have yet to be able to get NIS-based logins to work at the console (I can rlogin as myself, but can't rlogin as someone else either). I realize that is probably a pretty basic question, but I'm out of ideas on the matter. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. 3) I realize this isn't FreeBSD-specific, but maybe someone has experience with the default settings in the package: Should the Apache Server support cgi-bin scripts out of the box? The default conf files have ScriptAlias set up properly and all that, but I just couldn't get cgi-bin scripts to work until I put a link to /usr/local/www/cgi-bin from /usr/local/www/data/ and enabled ExecCGI for that directory. Any thoughts on that one? In any case, thanks again and congratulations. Please send any responses, chiding, suggestions, etc. by e-mail.

I would say: Make a cgi program to glue all this together. It will probably require quite a bit of programming. To find specific cgi solutions have a look at http://www.selah.net/cgi.html. In particular the mailform.cgi gives a solution for sending form input in a mail. I have never used any readymade database cgi drivers - I tend to write my own. But you might want to have a look at http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/perl/db/. There you will find solutions for Oracle, Sybase, Postgres95, Xbase and many others. A very excellent book about this subject is "CGI Programming" by Shishir Gundavaram (O'Reilly & As., Inc).

I tried the original method last night and came to the same conclusion. It seems like the word alias would have to be somewhere in the ifconfig line at the end of the line for it to work but your method does work. How do I find out what ip's the interface is configured for since ifconfig ed1 would only show the primary ip number.

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". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

AKAIK, the 75Mhz is the only Pentium that uses a 50Mhz motherboard clock and a 25Mhz PCI bus clock. I doubt that the PH motherboard has adjustable clock speed, so short of a 150, 166, or 200Mhz Pentium the best you'd end up with would be a 100Mhz. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.

This will attempt to migrate certain /etc files and warn you of the ones it could not modify. In addition, it will back up your /etc for you to the directory you choose (although you should back up /etc anyway).

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.

What does it mean? It usually means that a demand-zero page fault occurred at interrupt time and while a demand-zero fault was being handled previous to the interrupt. Page faults are not allowed at interrupt time for any reason, and this most likely indicates a software bug - a bogus pointer dereference. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 5 23:13:42 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id XAA15551 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Jan 1997 23:13:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhub.aros.net (mailhub.aros.net [207.173.16.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id XAA15544 for ; Sun, 5 Jan 1997 23:13:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from fluffy.aros.net (fluffy.aros.net [207.173.16.2]) by mailhub.aros.net (8.7.6/Unknown) with ESMTP id AAA23118; Mon, 6 Jan 1997 00:13:34 -0700 (MST) Received: from fluffy.aros.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by fluffy.aros.net (8.8.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id AAA03347; Mon, 6 Jan 1997 00:13:33 -0700 (MST) Message-Id: <199701060713.AAA03347@fluffy.aros.net> To: Anthony Hill cc: HCI , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NAT IPFilter In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 06 Jan 1997 16:12:20 +1100."

The explanation is pretty plain (though this *is* becoming a FAQ lately). The output of the script that runs this check is itself piped into sendmail for delivery.

That's because sysinstall is slightly brain-damaged, and puts the boot manager on the *second* disk. What you need to do is either of two: 1. When installing, tell the installation program to use *both* disks. 2. Or: Boot DOS (not MSDOS mode on Win95) and run bootinst.exe (or something like that) from /tools directory on the CD (or the ftp site). > --- > "I have a _cunning_ plan..." > - Baldric > "Dr. Who-o!/Dr. Who!/Dr. Who-o!/The Daleks!" > - The Timelords > "You dropped your rock" > - Mel Gibson > Byron Ellis (bellis@ucla.edu) Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 6 01:52:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id BAA24258 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Jan 1997 01:52:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from perki0.connect.com.au (perki0.connect.com.au [192.189.54.85]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id BAA24246 for ; Mon, 6 Jan 1997 01:52:54 -0800 (PST) Received: (from Unemeton@localhost) by perki0.connect.com.au id UAA20145 (8.7.6h/IDA-1.6 for questions@freebsd.org); Mon, 6 Jan 1997 20:52:45 +1100 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: perki0.connect.com.au: Unemeton set sender to giles@nemeton.com.au using -f >Received: from localhost.nemeton.com.au (localhost.nemeton.com.au [127.0.0.1]) by nemeton.com.au (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id UAA01341 for ; Mon, 6 Jan 1997 20:52:26 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <199701060952.UAA01341@nemeton.com.au> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: source to query-pr-summary.cgi?

The operating system proper (time structures, filesytem dates, etc) is OK. What utilities assume '19' or sort on two digit date fields is anyone's guess. I would not expect to see problems of a serious nature (crashes, hangs, filesystem corruption) but do expect to see a few display oddities. As an example, the GNU gnats utility 'query-pr' (which isn't part of FreeBSD) has a two digit year format when used in its '--sql' mode. (This is despite the PRs maintaining four digits internally.) Now while query-pr won't break, pretty much anything using its '--sql' export format and sorting it in the C locale won't sort '00' higher than '99'. The "solution" to the year 2000 problem is analysis of critical applications, testing testing and more testing, and having a pool of dollars and trained staff to *quickly* fix the problems as they are discovered.

(You could assume your console is secure, if you're the only one who has physical access to it). Since there is no "secure" entry for the ptys, no one can log in as root from the network. That can, however, su to root if they are in the wheel group.

Xservers have been written for most platforms. On windows, a popular one is eXceed. I find that one hard to configure and play with, but its speed and compatibility appears to be good. IBM produces an Xserver that works in tandem with their TCP/IP package over OS2 and Warp. If you don't have Warp connect, then you have to buy both packages (X and TCP/IP) but if you have Warp Connect, then you can merely buy X and use TCP/IP that comes with the package. On the Mac, most of us use eXodus, which has a good interface, even if it is sometimes slow. X comes in a variety of forms for most unix workstations. There is also a third-party operating system for PCs called DESQview X, which has the main goal of providing X11, but I haven't heard much on its progress since about 1992. -John ============== jddst19+@pitt.edu John Duncan Freshman, University of Pittsburgh "I'm not a doctor, but I ate one at the UPMC..."

If we were able to log in as root from abroad, then there would be very little way of figuring out who has been cracking the system. Marking the ptys insecure requires that a cracker use a valid user login name, and helps us find the initial security flaw. Sometimes a user willingly gives out his own login name and password to a foreigner, and that person hacks out the system from within. If he had to do an SU, we could talk to the user who allowed this to happen, and change that password. (and root, and probably every password anyway) I recommend that you keep those ttyps marked insecure. -John ============== jddst19+@pitt.edu John Duncan Freshman, University of Pittsburgh "I'm not a doctor, but I ate one at the UPMC..."

Until there is a machine description and an optimizer for these cpus written into gnu cc, there will be very little significant increase in performance.... Not that the orgs won't try to support them very soon, remembering that un*x supporters are trying to keep unix as the IP-working standard, the web standard, and all. Pentium MMXs don't often cause much performance increase in everyday operations, but their increase in blitting, etc. should be incredible. cheers, John ============== jddst19+@pitt.edu John Duncan Freshman, University of Pittsburgh "I'm not a doctor, but I ate one at the UPMC..."

Is it a good idea to use the IP-SLIP protocol to ship the "IP over SLIP" packet out to a PAD (which is already configured to connect to a destination "IP over X.25"-rfc1356-End System)?

However it turned out that I was confused about that sio0 and sio1 were correctly mapped to COM1 and COM2 when booting from installation floppy, but were somehow swapped, when I reboot from HD.

I don't have any personal experience or documented proof, but I guess some people have been able to bludgeon WP into working. It would be wise to search the mail archives at www.freebsd.org to be sure. There has been some speculation on Applixware that it may, but again I have no proof. StarOffice I know from OS/2, no clue for unices.

Here's another data point. Avoid at all costs. Certain models are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get expansion cards working in. We have a couple of boxes out there that just cannot be networked. In addition, they're very cheap quality-wise, have little expansion capability and support is null. I can't recommend them (or Compaqs) unless it's someone I completely despise. :) Personally, I recommend either buying a custom built box (I got a tremendous deal though a local computer store that built a machine from very detailed specifications) or from Dell. Dell has excellent components and the customer service is bar-none. You pay for it, but it's quite worth it.

The package directory is several megabytes. You are better to just download the packages you want. You can fetch whole directories by adding '.tar.gz' after the directory name, so if you want the packages/russian/ directory, do: cd packages get russian.tar.gz Warning, these directories will be *big*.

I also don't understand your command format > "cd wherever_it_is/bin ; . install.sh" Please don't worry about your "ignorance"! May be its *my* ignorance and I did not understand your question? I thought gated is part of the bin distribution and you wanted to continue installation of a partially installed distribution. By now I learned however that you wanted to add the *package* gated to your system. So you better forget about "sourcing in" for now. (Its a way a shell is executing a script without starting a new shell! Instead it reads the script and interprets the commands as if they came from the console) Now what you want to use is the pkg_add program. On the CD there should be a directory with the name packages . In it is a subdirectory with the name net or something similar. (I can't read my CD at the moment, if I try, my system freezes :-( ). There should be a file with the name gated???tar.gz. This is the only file you need. You enter pkg_add /cdrom/packages/net/gated???tar.gz and gated will be installed. If you cannot access your CD from within FreeBSD you have to copy the *tar.gz - file to a DOS-Partition (from within DOS) and then from that Partition to a FreeBSD-Partition (from within FreeBSD). You might have to use a different name for the file on the DOS-Partition, like gated.tgz. I hope that helps. Have fun Wolfgang.

I boot the PC using the ATAPI boot floppy created from the CD, and use the -c option and then visual to sort out any conflicts and disable devices I dont have. The PC then boots into the installation menu so I can set up my partitions and select the options I want from the CDROM ( I chose the custom installation ). Finally it asks me to select my instalation medium which is CDROM. It then says 'extracting bin in / directory'. after a a minute of sitting at 1% it then says 'write failure on transfer!

All you have to do is assign a in Apache. But the browser has to support it. Netscape, IE, among others. I know the newest version of Lynx does as well, and Mosaic.

I called their 800 pre-sales help number just before I did go for it, and they were very helpful. It is a much better machine than I expected it would be. It is a model 4240. I was concerned that it had a cheapo monitor, but it actually has a very good one (better than my NEC) as a matter of fact! And its not the little, low profile type box either. And it is standard thruout, including memory, etc. This machine had an original selling price of $1649; was discounted last fall to $1199, and I got it for $698!

As for upgrades, Intel is currently selling a 125 MHz upgrade for 75 MHz Pentiums. # # Yep, that was my goal. To get to a Pentium machine, that I could # readily upgrade the cpu by plugging one in! I couldn't get 2.1.5 to # install due to the detect the CD problem, so I installed Debian, which # works flawlessly, including the CD! # As for components, I've had no problems installing 4 MB and 8 MB SIMMs, and I also installed a USRobotics 28.8 Kbps internal modem, no problem. # # Yes, I did buy 8MB additional memory, but haven't installed it yet. # I don't want to break the seal on the back of the box to put it in. # I decided to wait until I get the chance to grab a cpu upgrade chip # and then I'll go the memory at that same time. # # Oh, it came with a 14.4K modem/fax card also. It works fine. I used it # under the installed Win 95 last nite. # My machine has a Cirrus Logic GD5434 graphics chip, and it seems fine, though I don't have much to compare it to.

See the LINT kernel config file for this (/sys/i386/conf/LINT, I think, I don't have a system handy to check though). Audio CDs cannot be mounted, as they don't have a filesystem.

So boot FreeBSD, read the handbook and use the manual. I guess you need to do a mount, like the following: (to do this, you have to log in as root!) # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt | | | +---- An existing empty directory | | +-------- Partition number starting with 1 | +---------- Number of IDE-Disk starting with 0 +------------ Using IDE-Disk This example assumes, that you have msdos-filesystem on the first Partition of your first IDE-Disk. If this turns out to be successfull, you do a # cd /mnt # ls and you should see the files in the dos partition.

What version of pine are you running? If its below 3.95 then its upgrade time :) I used to have this problem with older version of pine. I don't know exactly what the problem was, only that upgrading pine made it go away.

Certainly. An ISP looking to record the actions of their users, for instance, might be *very* interested in this, if implemented in a secure manner. Where do the database files end up? How are they written in a manner that the user cannot access them, even though the log entries are coming from him? > Who I have to ask for if my program is interesting? I would be interested in looking at your changes. Can you make a set of context diffs so I can patch a source tree? We should probably take the rest of this discussion over to the security mail list; I've directed replies there. If you don't subscribe to that list already, you should. It is a relatively low-volume list, with not much chattering. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

If the link to my ISP is up then I can ping it, I guess because their router knows where I am. I can ping my ethernet board on the local network by IP Adress, so my machine does have the ability to route to its own interfaces.

Most have raised concerns over the issue of logging conversations. The install I'm doing is for a client that would like to conduct private online meetings. One of their requirements is that I provide them with "see what's been said so far..." functionality. If an IRC server logged conversations, this would be simple. Since the server won't be made available to the public, I don't expect many users, so intensive logging shouldn't have a major effect on performance. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Should I be looking at something other than an IRC server?

I hope that you could spare a moment to clear up some information regarding installation of FreeBSD: 1) What exactly is meant by installing FROM an msdos partition? I understand the required file structure must be replicated within this partition. The does the installation process install FreeBSD OVER (on top of) this partition (and then changes the partition ID to a5 or whatever)? 2) Is it possible to install FreeBSD to/over more than one partition on the drive? If so, should these be extended dos partitions? 3) I'm interested in development so I would like to have all sources, X, etc. What should I be looking at in terms of disk space as a minimum? I only have one drive (1.6GB) which will be shared by win95 and FreeBSD. I understand that I have to have win95 installed first and also that the root slice (sub-partition) must lie before cylinder 1024. I just want to make sure that the partition sizes will be adequate in size while also meeting the disk location requirements. I've looked for these specific things but have been unable to find them. I hope you can help me out or point me to the information. THANKS! Greg (Looking forward to running FreeBSD soon!)

I've gotten to the point where I can type 'dial provider' in ppp and it connects fine. However when I shell out and try telnet ... or ftp ..., it just hangs. I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the route table, but am not entirely sure what it's values should be. My ISP assigns me an IP each time, and I think itself a dynamic one too. I'm a little confused on that since it seems like a dynamic IP on its side isn't needed? Anyhow, I've been using my ISP's default gateway - 129.82.192.1 when assigning IPs, and this is the route table I get: default 129.82.192.1 UGc 0 0 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 10 lo0 129.82.192.1 129.82.192.96 UH 1 0 tun0 (my dyn IP) So my ultimate question is - is this what I want? Or should the addresses on the left end in .0? I've tried using the ISP's dynamic IP in place of 129.82.192.1 but with the same results. Any help will greatly help my sanity.

I doesn't seem to watch the resource usage at all. Sendmail shuts down, so does Innd and eventually the system is only running apache.

Filenames and directory names have been selected to provide a continous file structure to the end-user. I adduser-ed three users into the default directory of "/usr/home". I then moved these directories to the directory "/web/*". "/web" being the location that I will run my webserver from. After moving these three directories I edited "/etc/master.passwd" to reflect the changes in the home directories of the users. I then fingered all three users and learned that finger reports the home directories to be "/usr/home/username" instead of "/web/username". DRAT! So I reviewed the source code to try and find the problem. Comments in the source tell me that finger pulls its data from "/etc/passwd". Thinking this to be an easy fix I just copied "/etc/master.passwd" into "/etc/passwd". This also did not work. Finger still reports the home directories incorrectly. The basic C programming class that I have taken does not lend me enough confidence to think that I can code the source to finger better than the original author. How do I get finger to report home directories correctly? Perhaps this is a minor problem but I prefer to get this right. I suspect a fastidious approach to setting up FreeBSD will save me grief down the road. -- Thank you, Wannabe Sysadmin Jason Wells __________________________________________ / / / Highperformance.net / / The homeless domain / / "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" / /_________________________________________/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 7 17:29:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id RAA01966 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Jan 1997 17:29:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from xmission.xmission.com (softweyr@xmission.xmission.com [198.60.22.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id RAA01941 for ; Tue, 7 Jan 1997 17:29:11 -0800 (PST) Received: (from softweyr@localhost) by xmission.xmission.com (8.8.4/8.7.5) id SAA22219 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 7 Jan 1997 18:29:07 -0700 (MST) From: Softweyr LLC Message-Id: <199701080129.SAA22219@xmission.xmission.com> Subject: Archive CTM3200 SCSI QIC-Wide tape?

No, the files are a different format, so you can't do that. /etc/passwd is a "version 7" format file, and /etc/master.passwd is bsd4.4 format. Also, these files are shadowed by (s)pwd.db files, which also need to be updated. vipw takes care of all of that for you. So, the solution is to run vipw, make some trivial change so that a change is detected, and exit. vipw will update /etc/passwd and the anciliary secure and insecure hash tables. Morale 1: don't edit /etc/master.passwd directly unless you know what you're doing and what you want to achieve. I can't even think of any reason you'd need to do so. That your system is still functional at all now is because the getpw*() functions are pulling the data from the database versions of the password files. Simply copying the file would have broken many things had they not been there. If the files were simply duplicates (did you look first?) why would one or the other exist in the first place? Morale 2: Be careful with system information. There is *very* good reason to restrict their manipulation to root/admin or via specialised tools with very restrictive capabilities. It is very easy to hose your entire system as root user. > The basic C programming class that I have taken does not lend me enough > confidence to think that I can code the source to finger better than the > original author. I'm surprised that finger directly accesses /etc/passwd at all (are you sure it does, or does it just mention that in a comment somewhere?). It should be using the library getpw*() interface which may not (and obviously does not, if it still works at all!) access /etc/passwd at all.

You want the default route to be the "other" end of the PPP link. To accomplish this, edit your /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file and add the following: # # In all cases (since we've only got one) add his address as default # gateway. This has the added benefit of making *any* packet routed # off our network redial the link. Of course, this makes casual # name lookups expensive. # MYADDR: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR You'll also want to add the "default" for the other end of the PPP link, the address you specify in /etc/ppp.conf, as the defaultrouter in /etc/sysconfig. This will provide a default route via the PPP link *until* it actually comes up, causing the link to be demand dialed the first time an off-site packet gets pushed through the link. I.e., if your /etc/ppp.conf contains: myIsp: [...] set ifaddr 200.100.50.43/24 200.120.47.8/24 you will want to make the *first* address your default route. The 'delete 0 0' command in ppp.linkup will delete the existing default route before attempting to insert the new one each time the link is brought up. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I've heard of this problem before but don't remember the solution. Try: 1. Fetching new floppies from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp. Use binary mode! 2. Pointing your ftp install at ftp.freebsd.org and not any mirrors. 3. Deleting your previous install attempts and starting from scratch.

The nameserver is the important one since everything else is superceded by ppp. Are you sure that's the right ip address? Since your ISP hangs up so fast, I'd point to an authentication problem more than an inactivity timeout. You might ask them if they do PAP or CHAP authentication.

Install the apache package or port instead of the direct distribution. And report to them that it has a serious memory hole. Your error_log is probably filled with error messages from the system malloc package complaining about usage errors.

Any replys much appreciated. Pause doesn't generally do anything, but scroll lock does. Pushing scroll lock on the console activates the scrollback feature.

Are you sure they are? You will need to disable PnP since FreeBSD supports PnP only on certain devices, and network cards aren't one of them.

Note to myself: no more reading mail after 2am.... after ppp quits, the tun0 interface is downed, so essentially it doesn't exist, so you can't ping an interface that's turned off.

Netscape probably expect a different type of visual than that server supports (I don't know for sure - I never tried it, and obviously don't have access to the source...). In general, most modern X programs assume a visual of either 256 table entries, or a high-color visual (either true color or pseudo color, if I remember the X names for those correctly). The solution will thus be to install a different X server.

The does the installation process install FreeBSD OVER (on > top of) this partition (and then changes the partition ID to a5 or > whatever)? No. FreeBSD always gets installed over unpartitioned disk space. The meaning of installing from a dos partition is simply that the distribution files will be taken from the DOS partition instead of from the CDROM or the net (via ftp). This is the way to use if: 1. You can't install from a CD. 2. You can't/don't want to install directly from FTP (perhaps because you want to install to more than one machine and want to download the files just once). > > 2) Is it possible to install FreeBSD to/over more than one partition on > the drive? If so, should these be extended dos partitions? I think it is possible to use more than one slice on a single drive (I haven't tried this though, so I may be wrong). In any case, all partitons FreeBSD uses *must be* FreeBSD partitions, created with the installation program over previously unpartitioned space *and not* DOS partitions of any sorts. You can only boot a single (the first) FreeBSD slice on a disk though. > > 3) I'm interested in development so I would like to have all sources, > X, etc. What should I be looking at in terms of disk space as a > minimum? I'd say that about 500MB can be comfortable enough, depending on what you plan to install. The X sources are (if I remember correctly) about 200MB, so if you want X sources you should go for 750MB. > > I only have one drive (1.6GB) which will be shared by win95 and > FreeBSD.

It's listed as a device in the LINT config file, and without hard wiring the disks, builds a working kernel defined as such. ---------------------------------- Advanced Digital Research, Weare NH WWW: http://www.whoweb.com/adrl E-Mail: Mailist PostOffice Date: 01/08/97 Time: 06:48:56 Live FreeBSD or Die ---------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 8 04:04:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id EAA00746 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 04:04:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from whoweb.com (adrl.xtdl.com [206.25.229.162]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id EAA00739 for ; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 04:04:41 -0800 (PST) Received: (from mailist@localhost) by whoweb.com (8.8.2/8.8.2) id HAA17561; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 07:00:34 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 8 Jan 1997 07:00:34 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 0.3-beta [p0] on FreeBSD In-Reply-To: Reply-To: mailist@whoweb.com Organization: Advanced Digital Research From: Mailist PostOffice To: Doug White Subject: Re: Linksys Ether16 LAN Card support?

I have one of these (AVA1505) in my drawer as the result of an unsuccessful effort getting it to work here under a 3.0-current. Interesting that you are saying that no irq comes through. I observed that the probe was OK but when trying to access the tape I had attached to it the process got hung which may happen when no IRQ occurs. Also the aic probe seemed to mess my WD8013 cards I had in that machine. After all I gave up and bought a used AH1542CF. Maybe something's odd with enabling the interrupts on the board (aic chip). > > Dw. > > > > http://ewse.ceo.org http://enrm.ceo.org > DWvGulik@Dialis.xs4all.nl Dirk.vanGulik@jrc.it > +39 332 78 0014 +39 332 78 9549 > fax +39 332 78 9185 > > ISEI/ESBA; The Center For Earth Observation > Joint Research Centre of the European Communities, Ispra, Italy > > --Chris Christoph P.

I have the PPP from FreeBSD 2.1.5, from walnut-creek-CDROM, Aug.96. I can enter the term-command, and tell my modem to dial - all by hand. It will connect ok, PPP at the dialin-machine starts, and I can login there - but only while staying in PPP. (Documentation say, I should open a telnet in _another_ virt.console) Problems: - connecting via commandline and ppp.conf doesn't work properly: it dials out, waits, than hangs up. - The other virtual consoles don't know about the connection, while it is up. "add 0 0 HISADDR" in PPP.conf (or .linkup) does not add a route, and while I'm in PPP-term-mode, I cannot issue this command. And getting out of term-mode closes the connection :-( Any ideas ?

At least I think they're the same - very cheap, right? Mine run just fine with the 'ed' driver. As I recall (I'm not at my machines right now) there is a jumper which can be used to switch off PnP. The IRQ/memory address can then be set using the config disk which comes with the card. (If you have a DOS boot floppy handy...) I think the default setting for the card is IRQ 3 and memory 0x300-0x31f. This clashes with sio1, so you'll need to reconfigure if you have serial ports. You might try booting with -c, disabling sio1 and setting ed0 to the above values to see if it works..

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The cards have disjoint settings (ctlr0 = iob330/irq11/drq6 and ctlr1 = iob334/irq10/drq7) and this was verified when the driver probed them. Since the probe for ctlr0 (iob330/irq11/drq6) worked and ctlr1 (iob334/irq10/drq7) didn't, I simply swapped the cards base addresses (iob330 and iob334) to see if there were any possible conflicts with irq10/drq7. Apparently not since the probe reported iob330/irq10/drq7 as successful and iob334/irq11/drq6 now had the timeout symptoms. I could still have a conflict with iob334 but I can't find one (no hidden bustek 742 controller :-)) and the ctrl activity light on the failing "aha" does respond during probe time. Just not as long as the successful one. My conclusion was that I didn't understand the scsi kernel configuration well enough but I guess I should actually swap the iob definitions of "aha0" and "aha1" in the configuration file to completely rule out an iob334 conflict. Thanks much for the response. -virgil From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 8 12:42:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id MAA28171 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 12:42:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id MAA28162 for ; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 12:42:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA07644; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 12:41:57 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 8 Jan 1997 12:41:57 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Mailist PostOffice cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Kernel Build: Hard Wired SCSI Devices In-Reply-To: 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 Jan 1997, Mailist PostOffice wrote: > Neither the LINT config file, nor the "Rebuilding your kernel" section > of the Walnut Creek 2.1 manual makes any mention of ncr0 being defined > as a controller in the config file.

If you search for 'ncr' in the 2.2-ALPHA LINT it's in there as a controller. It may have been wrong in a previous release though.

This will enable PPP to demand dial the link. For instance, if your address usually looks like 199.10.11.xxx, and the router you connect to usually looks like 199.10.10.1, try this instead: set ifaddr 199.10.11.8/24 199.10.10.1/24 This will give the address 199.10.11.8 to the tun0 device upon startup, linked to 199.10.10.1, and tells PPP to allow the lower 24 bits to vary during the address negotiation. Feel free to use /32 if you need. This will, however, allow your default route through address 199.10.10.1 to be active, allowing PPP to demand-dial the link whenever a packet is routed off-site and the link is down. > dial Dial?

E.g., using the telnet site suggested by the program's install to "test" it, I get the following: <<< bash# telnet 130.236.254.1 114 Trying 130.236.254.1... Connected to 130.236.254.1.

Reading response data... Error response is: Lport........ 1040 Fport........ 114 Error........

Hence, after the telnet test: bash# ps -aux | grep ident root 308 1.9 3.5 156 484 ??

I configured my new laptop, which runs FreeBSD 2.1.6, first for an internet service provider out in California. I didn't run ident, nevertheless I had unrestricted access to anonymous ftp on Burka.NetVision.net.il and other places. Having reconfigured for panix.com in New York City (where I live), I can no longer access Burka and I run into other problems with sites that are attempting to ident authenticate me. The pident INSTALL also recommends the following to verify that the internal kernel-accessing routines in the Ident daemon are working correctly. netstat -n | grep ESTAB | ./itest This yields nothing, so I figure it's the kernel accessing routines that are the problem. I'd appreciate any guidance toward a solution. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Larry S.

I have a >colored monitor BTW. In other words, I do not see the colors when I am >supposed to see one. A number of things: 1) The VGA-16 only gives you access to 16 preset colors. 2) New Netscape versions allocate from a 5x5x5 colorcube on MS-Windows systems, but more often a 4x4x4 cube in X-Windows system. Therefore colors on Windows and unix will not be the same. 3) Even if Netscape knows the values of the color names on the page you visited, it will only be able allocate a few extra after the colorcube allocation. Fx if you have 32 system colors, got the 216 colors from the 5x5x5 cube, it will only be able to allocate eight (256-32-216=8) of them. For 256 color system that is. If you run true color (16777216 colors), you will get all you colors fine.

Well, with 60 & 70NS in different banks, all RAM runs at the slowest memory you have. I would guess that its the same for EDO/NON-EDO as well.

As long as your SCSI controller is supported, it should work. Of course, it's never a bad idea to rebuild your kernel to remove the extras from GENERIC.

Yes, check out the handbook. Dialup is in the handbook, ethernet is in /etc/sysconfig (just modify the ifconfig lines). vi comes preinstalled on the system.

The problem is, after a random period of time after I rebooted the machine, the console would crash and the keyboard locked-up. The console behaved as if there is no signal from the video card (low power/sleep mode) while the keyboard simply locked-up. Yet, everything else was still running as if nothing happened. This behavior persisted when I rebooted the machine a few more times. Last night, I replaced the PCI VGA card with a monochrome card and it also trashed the console with garbage character after 20-15 minutes. The keyboard is still functional though. System has Pentium-100 with Triton chipsets, 64MB RAM, Adaptec 2940, IBM 2GB SCSI-3, Intel EtherExpress Pro 100B. This system used to have 2.1R in it and it ran just fine, never crashed the console and/or locked-up the keyboard before. The only piece of hardware I changed when I upgraded to 2.1.5R are the ethernet card and the hard drive. I used to have an Accton combo (NE2000 compatible). I also did a fresh installation of 2.1.5R and then tar the /home and some other essential files. So, it came as clean as it can be. Does anyone has experienced a similar problem or have any idea to fix this? TIA. Please CC your reply to jk@tti.net.

I would guess that its the same for EDO/NON-EDO as well. I've seen it go both ways, both performance and reliability. A friend with a P133 that kept crashing during a Linux install would work fine if he ran with either the 16MB of EDO or the 16MB of FP DRAM, but wouldn't even make it past the first install screen with both.

It sounds like your ISP wants PAP authentication and you don't have it enabled properly. See the 'papsite' profile in ppp.conf, and ask your ISP.

In these cases, you usually have to run some sort of NAT on the gateway box, such as the one in IPFilter. Or else run SOCKS. That's the only way I know how to do it at current. There may be other ways or switches or whatever that will make this combo work, but I'm not aware of them at the moment.

Then use the adduser utility to make a user account for yourself, and use that account instead of the root one. The reason to do that is so that you won't, in a moment of distraction, type something like "rm -rf *" and destroy your whole system. (Don't scoff, it happens even to the smartest of us.)

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! I run a ISP with several HP Netserver LC. These machines have onboard SCSI-controllers and a EISA/PCI bus. The controller is situated an EISA slot 11. The last boot-floppy to recognize the controller was 2.1.0R, all newer ones don't find it. I know how to patch the kernel to repair this; however, since I want to update all machines to 2.1.6.1, I need boot-floppies with 2.1.6.1 that find the controller. How can I put a custom kernel on a boot-floppy? How can I create an installable distribution from a maintained source-tree? Since our machines are sometimes installed in locations without qualified personnel, I'd like to create a boot-floppy (that finds the controller) and tell them over the phone how to boot the machine using the floppy, configure the network card and install the machine from our central server. Until now I have to use 2.1.0R-boot floppies and installation... I would like to use the latest (tested) release.

Sometimes, it happens intentionally. Try it sometime, you might enjoy the experience (of doing it on purpose). I did a 'rm -rf /' on my 2.1.5 system when I wanted to swap out HDs, and install 2.1.6.

If anyone knows why; let me know :-) One thing for the real hackers; the Jaz/Zip drives are really easy to recognize; so the sd0 driver could trigger on them; have the geometry hardcoded in; and thus make live a bit easier. This is the lazy way :-) you can also do it neatly and go for the s1..4 convention; the (preformatted) dos partition usualy sits on 3; so you can do a mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s3 /mnt To get the drive out under _ALL_ circumstances do something like #!/bin/sh # Dirk.vanGulik@jrc.it - will not accept # any blame :-) # # Unlock the door of the drive scsi -f /dev/rsd0.ctl -c "1e 0 0 0 0 0" # Spin up the motor; so we can move the arms scsi -f /dev/rsd0.ctl -c "1b 0 0 0 1 0" # Push it out scsi -f /dev/rsd0.ctl -c "1b 0 0 0 2 0" Or use the jaz package at freebsd; here is the manpage. One word of warning; it is quite possible; though a bit hard, to eject a drive while it is mounted... which is IMHO not a good idea ! The other thing is that you really would like some kind of write-behind timeout in the sd0 driver :-) DW. JAZCTRL(?) LOCAL JAZCTRL(?) NAME jazctrl - program to assist with Iomega Jaz devices. SYNOPSIS Usage: jazctrl eject jazctrl -v status jazctrl rw sd2 jazctrl ro /dev/rsd2.ctl jazctrl [-v] [-i] [-f] [device] The device can be symbolic, or absolute; but will always be mapped to the raw control device. DESCRIPTION The jazctrl program is used to send vendor specific SCSI commands to a Iomega jazz device. It is also might work with a Zip drive; but i've nev- er tried that. These commands allow you to eject the disc; power it up and down, and set the read/write protection bits. The password side of this is currently not working. COMMANDS eject ejects the frive up and down will power the drive up and down; mine has a tendency to be noisy and vibrates quite irritatingly. rw will set the drive in read/write mode, and thus cancels the effect of ro which sets the drive in a read-only mode. The catch here is that I've not been able to get the password side of things to work. My controller (or is it the kernel) just hangs when I try to send any ancilarry data. Please let me know if you get it to work. OPTIONS -d option turns on debuging; and generate lots of output; just like its scsi(8) friend. -v option does it all verbose. -i option cause it to ignore any errors or unexpected status conditions encountered while excecuting the command. Be carefull with this one. -h option will dump the syntax and compiled in defaults. DEVICE The device can be specified with its full name, e.g. /dev/rsd0.ctl but the programme will make educated guesses (and inform you about them with the -v flag) when you use more symbolic names such as sd0 or rsd0.ctl without the /dev pre- and .ctl postfixes. If no device is specified (and the RAWJAZDEVICE variable, see below, is also not set), the compiled in /dev/rsd0.ctl drive will be oparated upon. EXAMPLES To eject a drive: jazctrl eject To eject drive 2: jazctrl eject /dev/rsd2.ctl or jazctrl eject sd2 The RAWJAZDEVICE variable can be set to the default device to operate up- on. BUGs Quite a few; so do'nt try this on your own drives. The password stuff does not work, and there are some options for detecting different run- time names, such as jzeject. But the Makefile does not make those links. The program checks quite a few things; such as wether the disk is mounted and if it really looks like a Jaz drive. But I would not really rely on it; anyway only root can do those things anyway. Also; I cannot quite see why the drive should spin up; before you can eject it. AUTHOR Dirk-Willem van Gulik, will not take the blame if you screw up your drive, machine or life. But I'll appreciate feedback nevertheless. HISTORY The jazctrl command was developed around Xmas 96, on an 2-Alpha kernel; and borrows heavily from a Linux example, some peeking in W'95 object code and the scsi(8) and libscsi.a example. a From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 9 00:44:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id AAA15911 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 00:44:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from luke.cpl.net (root@[206.85.245.131]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id AAA15906 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 00:44:13 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA00473 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 00:44:08 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 00:44:07 -0800 (PST) From: Shawn Ramsey X-Sender: shawn@luke.cpl.net To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Network Monitoring Utility In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > >Nocol.

I would guess that its the same for EDO/NON-EDO as well. It depends on your chipset. My DEC VenturisFX manuals claim that you can mix EDO and FPDRAM, and even not have them in pairs (i.e. have a bank that's only 32-bit wide) and will do the best possible on each access. I never tried it (with current memory prices, I don't care much) and neither have I seen such a claim on other motherboards.

What you're saying when you put nameserver 127.0.0.1 in you're resolv.conf is that 127.0.0.1 is running named and will answer your questions. Not having it running, makes the client wait until timeout for the hopes that named will start. The big problem in booting a name server machine is that it needs to know who it is before it can start answer who it is, and who others are.

I subsequeenty typed 'make distribute' in /usr/src/etc which updated /etc. Is this the correct way to do it or did I miss something ? To summarize what I did: cd /usr/src make world make install cd /usr/src/etc make distribute (edit updated files in /etc) (build new kernel,install,reboot) I was under the impression that 'make world' would do everything including replacing etc. Any comments ?

(see /usr/sbin) Well, I thought it was "system bin", as in system utilities and programs - programs used for and by the system itself. Having mount(8) on a non-root partition is sort of a catch-22. :-) I can easily understand why that wouldn't work, not to mention nfsiod and other essentials used in /etc/rc, let alone fsck and other anciliaries needed in case of emergency.

Yeah. The guy replyed saying that Asus have tested the 7880 and found that it doesn't meet all their test criteria over 33MHz.

Going to narrow drives will just defeat this. Yeah, I know. I meant if the 875 wasn't supported I could use the 810 with narrow drives and still push the external clock speed to 75MHz. However, now you've enlightened me I can get the 875 and use it under FreeBSD with my wide drives and hopefully with a greater chance of success than with a 7880. > > Do you have any idea whether the DFI G586VPS Pro (using VLSI Lunx chipset) > > or the or the MTech R534 (http://www.mtiusa.com/r534.htm), using the > > Sis5571 chipset which I think I read somewhere "allows the PCI bus to be > > locked at 32MHz [sic?] whatever the external clock speed", would be better > > for this purpose? > > I would be demanding datasheets on the chipsets in question and > studying the timing values programmed by the BIOS for these boards in > comparison with the Intel chipsets and their recommended timing.

These chipsets are designed to accomodate the Cyrix P200+ which needs an external clock speed of 75MHz. They also support the Cyrix's "Linear Burst Mode" which can supposedly give a 3-5% speed improvement on cache filling. However, I agree and think I'd be going down a blind alley with such new chipsets. I'll stick with the 430HX chipset on the T2P4.

I've been working with a device driver book written by George Pajari that is slanted towards (I belive) SCO for "installing the device driver". Based on what I see on my FreeBSD system, and what the book has, they're radically different. My goal will be eventually to write a "real" character or terminal device driver, building on this bogus one, to create a character device driver that will handle our (soon to be released) hex modem modules (6 modems on a SIMM on an ISA bus card). Anyhow, I've created a device-driver .c file in /usr/src/sys/addons/bogus called bogus.c. (its just a dummy device driver that returns a string, similar to /dev/zero). I also have a .h file with the function headers for boginit, and bogread. boginit is void boginit(void). bogread is void chr1read(dev_t dev). I've also created a device in /dev called bog0, using a major number of 20, and a minor of 0 (20 appeared in majors.i386 as "reserved for local use", so I thought this was good). What I need is a quick tutorial on what files I need to change (and how preferably), as well as how to add it to the kernel config file (I currently tried it with "device bog0"). Any help, as always, is appreciated. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 9 09:26:29 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id JAA11235 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:26:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail1.digital.com (mail1.digital.com [204.123.2.50]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id JAA11229 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:26:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from pobox1.pa.dec.com by mail1.digital.com (5.65 EXP 4/12/95 for V3.2/1.0/WV) id AA29339; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:15:03 -0800 Received: by pobox1.pa.dec.com; id AA10377; Thu, 9 Jan 97 09:15:03 -0800 Received: by virgil.pa.dec.com; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/13Jul94-0558PM) id AA21216; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:15:00 -0800 Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:15:00 -0800 Message-Id: <9701091715.AA21216@virgil.pa.dec.com> From: Virgil Champlin To: dennisg@seanet.com Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <32D513DF.41C67EA6@seanet.com> (message from Dennisg on Thu, 09 Jan 1997 07:50:55 -0800) Subject: Re: how to get the alt key working in emacs?

It's not complete support, but it's enough for what you'll be doing unless you get into exceptions. The GCC documentation (available through 'info' if you installed the info distribution) should have further details.

The floppy install procedure has changed greatly since 2.1. In short: 1. There is no root.flp. 2. The archives are bin/bin.aa, bin/bin.bb...and so forth, and must go in the subdirs as you have mentioned. You must also place the bin.inf file on the first disk, and on the last disk of each distribution place the .inf file of the next distribution. Hope this helps. I would recommend trying another method if you can though, it will make your life much happier.

You would get a real speed increase if you used 5 4GB SCSI disks. Those two 9ers are going to really drag you down. The computer can access SCSI disks concurrently, with one big disk you have to wait for one operaion to complete before you can do another. I would HIGHLY suggest reading the INN FAQ before proceeding.

The standard boot disk fails to recognize the presence of this card at all. Using a special PCMCIA boot disk from Tatsumi Hosokawa I was able to load FreeBSD. Now, however, FreeBSD itself does not recognize the E/net card, although o/wise seems to run ok. It appears I need to install the PAO package (from Hosokawa), including the pc card daemon, which is not part of the standard dist. I have fetched the package but have been unable to recompile the kernel so far. Does anyone know where I can get compiled binaries for this card package, or o/wise how I can get my network card working? Please reply, since I don't subscribe.

The memory load hasn't been great: I have 32MB, and am running XFree 3.2, fvwm, XEmacs 19.14, and g++ 2.7.2.1. Up til yesterday, never had a problem. Now, today, g++ might die with a Bus error, sometimes taking down the XEmacs parent process with it. Once even took down X too. A couple of times inetd has croaked. Swap usage gets to about 25% before this happens. Here's a question: on a one-disk install, where is the slice for the swap partition put by default? If it's the end, I might have the same "creeping bad sector disease" on my Seagate that I had half a year ago (supposedly repaired. hah. last time I buy a Seagate anything. another SG hd of mine severely kicked the bucket three days ago.) If the swap partition isn't at the end, any clues or hints at what to look for? If it is at the end, can I repartition *and retain data* so as to move it oh say 75MB forward. Basically I want to chop off 70MB of my /usr partition and give it to the swap partition. (This of course would be merely a short term solution. The drive'll have to be replaced.) -jay From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 9 18:25:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id SAA07558 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 18:25:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from freenet1.afn.org (freenet1.afn.org [128.227.163.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id SAA07536; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 18:25:29 -0800 (PST) Received: (from bcs@localhost) by freenet1.afn.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA20890; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 21:25:23 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 21:25:23 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199701100225.VAA20890@freenet1.afn.org> From: "Bradley C.

There isn't any generic Natoma problem, I have one working the SMP kernel, it's running fine, and I've had it nearly non-stop compiling for days.

When I had the same problem, people told me to do this (and it worked) : First, you have to compile a new kernel with sound support in it (note that with a sb compatible card, the IRQ must be defined two times, the first time on the device line : device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr the second time with a line like this : options SBC_IRQ=5 because of the macro SBC_IRQ used in the driver). Then, boot your PC with DOS, run the driver furnished on a diskette with the card, press CTRL-ALT-DEL (don't use RESET), boot your PC with FreeBSD, build the devices (something like 'cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0'), connect a 500 Watt audio amplificator, and verify your installation with the following command : cat /kernel > /dev/audio :-) Alexandre Fenyo From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 9 19:17:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id TAA10332 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 19:17:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from phi.Sinica.EDU.tw (phi.sinica.edu.tw [140.109.14.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id TAA10266 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 19:15:36 -0800 (PST) Received: by phi.Sinica.EDU.tw (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA15633; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 11:10:58 +0800 From: ywliu@phi.Sinica.EDU.tw (Yen-Wei Liu) Message-Id: <9701100310.AA15633@phi.Sinica.EDU.tw> Subject: questions@freebsd.org To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 11:10:57 +0800 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, >From time to time, my named would die and cannot work anymore, with the following error message : named[xxxxx]: ns_req: no address for root server.

Unfortunately, the UFS doesn't split or move very easily. You'd have to backup, disklabel, newfs, and restore to move them (unless someone has another idea).

A search through the mail archives for 'hp AND netserver' found many messages. It may be worth your while to do the same. What it comes down to is to try disabling the uha device (and other unnecessary devices) in UserConfig (boot: -c). Also, FreeBSD supports up to 11 EISA slots, your Netserver may have more which could mess up the EISA code. > How can I put a custom kernel on a boot-floppy? You need a working system to do this, and it's not very fun, and if GENERIC can't find it then it's not likely that nothing else will either since EISA devices are auto-probed.

If you used the PAO-itized 2.1.5-R boot floppy: After you installed, you should have done: cd /stand ./PAOsetup which would have patched your kernel for PAO automatically, as directed by the information that came with the boot floppy image. PAO is not part of the standard distribution, no, but Hosokawa does a great job documenting the processes involved. I had a machine with the same situation as you, and after following all the instructions, it worked perfectly.

The advantage of keeping them separate is that you can span high-access newsgroups (ie alt) across multiple disks to get better access times. With CCD, you get what you get and you can't customize. However, you can collate the free spaces together so you use space more efficiently. > I have a couple of news servers with multiple same sized drives that were > set up before I knew of ccd. Do the benefits outweight the risks if one > goes bad? Not being experienced with ccd, I can't say what happens if a whole disk goes kerplunk, I'm guessing you'd see a greater amount of file damage if ccd can't piece the broken sections back together again. But if a disk goes down, you're going to loose data, it's just what data you're going to loose. The pulse I'm getting is, it's up to you. ccd hasn't been around long enough to say whether one way is better than another, and YMMV. Myself, I like the non-CCD version, but that's from someone who's never set up a news server. (Oh what information you can glean just by reading questions:) I would suggest searching the mail archives for further information; many such as you have asked about this.

WD1003 is an IDE controller, according to the Handbook. Does it have both SCSI and IDE ports? The two technologies aren't interchangable, ie you can't have an IDE and a SCSI device on the same chain. > When booting off the installation floppy and you go into visual kernel, > which scsi controller should I use. You can try it normally and see if the wdc driver picks it up. Somehow i'm skeptical. It doesn't make sense. Is it a SCSI or IDE controller?

I know, that's the last thing you wanted to hear ... I have run NetBSD, and am running Windows NT, on a Natoma-based board (Asus P6NP5), with a 200MHz CPU. It has been running fine for months. However, prior to getting the Asus, I went through two SuperMicro P6DNF motherboards that were both defective. They would crash all over the place, and basically ate my NTFS drive, effectively destroying everything on it. I think SuperMicro quality control just sucks. I have heard stories from others, both who have had trouble, and who have had no problems at all. Try to get your motherboard replaced. If the replacement doesn't work, get an Asus or Tyan. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.

I've been working on setting up a ppp dialup server. I've gotten it to work with PAP via pap-secrets, and I'm now experimenting with it doing PAP authentication through the system password database (by the 'login' option). I've found that pppd keeps dying at login verification. On going through the source code, I've managed to pinpoint the problem to the crypt() call in login(): (file auth.c somewhere about line 500:) epasswd = (char *) crypt(passwd, pw->pw_passwd); if (strcmp(epasswd, pw->pw_passwd)) { syslog(LOG_WARNING,"FAILED crypt validation."); return (UPAP_AUTHNAK); } It core dumps with a segmentation fault at the crypt() call. To make sure that crypt() is not at fault, I made a similar copy of the login function in a separate test file, and it works there. I can put up the test file if anyone likes to take a look. Anyone have any ideas? The mailing lists show quite a few people with problems with the login option. Maybe this is the reason. Thanks. Len. PS> why do I want to use the system database? Simple - I don't like having a unencrypted password file anywhere (even if it's supposedly group and world unreadable).

I have Intel Atlantis motherboard with AMI BIOS version 1.00.04.CL0 and Seagate ST31081 hard disk, 1.08GB. It is configured in setup as primary IDE master and other settings are as follows: IDE Device Configuration: Auto Configured (2097 cyl, 16 heads, 63 secs), IDE Translation Mode: Auto Detected (Extended CHS and Logical Block are also supported). I would like to have both Win95 and FreeBSD 2.1.5. I installed Win95 and left about 300MB for FreeBSD at the end of my disk (so beyond 500MB limit, perhaps it was my mistake). Can I install FreeBSD there and be able to boot it? (I would like to avoid repartitioning). 2. How can I remove BootEasy from boot sector to boot Win95 (is fdisk /MBR sufficient?). 3. Can I copy FreeBSD distribution files from CD to extended DOS partition and then start the installation? Sorry for my english... Thanks for your help!

Well, the 2.1.0R GENERIC found the controller, but not 2.1.0 stable... I asked in this list and got the answer, that a constant in /usr/src/sys/i386/eisa/eisaconf.h got changed. I changed it back, and now it boots (and runs for several months now...). Unfortunately, I can't install this machines using bootfloppies >2.1.0R, and that's no fun either. I'd have to install 2.1.0R first and upgrade it to whatever, then change this constant back, make a new kernel etc... I would rather save the time for this. So I'm still looking for a way to roll my own bootfloppies (from 2.1.6.1) with this patched GENERIC.

While my DeskPro's do have onboard video, which is an ok SVGA 'card', it is easy to disable and use a real Video card. My old 486 does have a switch that could get bumped off/on while tryig to get the cover on, but the DeskPro doesn't have that problem. It's covers are hard to get on or off unless the feet can get grip. In general, you'll find that Compaq sells the Presario for home use, and so probably cut corners to be competative on the Best Buy shelves. The DeskPro is not a bad machine. -- from the book of more-factual nursery rhymes (actually 2/93 Air&Space) Twinkle, twinkle, little pulsar, Now we know exactly what you are.

I know, that's the last thing you wanted to hear ... Possibly, it is this kind of motherboard (typically, the 440FX chipset) problem. I have proved some of this kind of motherboards are defective. Most vendor will use DOS as their testing base, which will not find the problem. I made great effort to convince the motherboard is bad so that they replaced me another one and everything goes smoothly. So, you need to use same environment with any other Pentinum Pro motherboard to see if it works. If the result is yes, then the motherboard is bad. Otherwise, check the memory, and make sure it is 60 ns and the memory works under other environment (different FreeBSD version). Do not test things under DOS which will NOT use many functions in chipset.

I installed Booteasy on both drives, thinking I could use this to get to FreeBSD. I can't. Questions: (1) Can I have my bootable FreeBSD partition on the second drive? (2) Can I have a 1GB Win95 partition ahead in front of it? (3) Another problem. When I boot from the floppy, it probes the drives and finds them...sorta fine, but on wd1 I get something like: wd1: [bleah, XX b/s, etc...] wd1 not found at 0x340h (paraphrased, I don't remember the addr) I'm sorry about the gross lack of detail, I did this at a friend's house, wrote down the messages and then left the piece of paper there. I'm hoping something here will tell somebody enough to get me past this, I presume either #1 or #2 is a showstopper. Any hints, or do I need more detail?

I have tried to keep the partition useable with other os's and gone through the 3 choices for boot management and nothing seems to be working. What can i do. If i use the fixit floppy how do i add the boot record for /dev/wd1 on the command line. i tried this but did not have a clue as to what to do.

That may be wdc1, the second IDE controller, which may or may not exist on that system. It's nothing to worry about. > Any hints, or do I need more detail? I think you're being bit by the bad geometry bug. Try this: 1. USE DOS FDISk and delete the FreeBSD partition. Create a small DOS partition on that disk. 2. Run FreeBSD install. From it's fdisk manager, delete the DOS partition, then make the FreeBSD partition to your taste. That should do it. Since you installed sysinstall on the first disk where it belongs, you won't need to reinstall it manually. Sysinstall messes this up.

You may need to upgrade your bsd.port.mk or modify the port's Makefile and point it in the right direction. The manpages should be in /usr/local/share/man/manx, where x is the section.

That exact command, no; you'll copy your first floppy disk to your third. :) Unless both disks are exactly the same size, I can't say for sure if a direct copy will work. I think it would be better to temporarily remove your current NT disk, reinstall to the destination disk, then move over configuration and whatnot through NT. After you get done you can kill your old NT partition and stick FreeBSD in. Or, back up your NT partition to tape, reinstall and restore the tape on the destination disk. This is how I moved my DOS partitions from my 1gb to a 540mb (leaving some stuff on the tape). There are other ways no doubt. I think that dd is too crude for such an operation though, especially considering boot blocks and such.

Can I just make the DOS partition > somewhat smaller, or put the FreeBSD partition first on that drive? If he shrank the Win95 partition, yes. Most PC BIOSs can only boot partitions below Cylinder 1024, which is about 500mb or so depending on the disk. So, if the Win95 partition was dropped to 475mb or so, then you could start FreeBSD. Optionally, you can make a separate root slice below 1024 and put the rest of the filesystem above it, but that is not easy and I don't have the procedure handy. You have to use fdisk and disklabel creatively.

Even Novell's implementation isn't that great. And there's Sun's PC-NFS which is a *real* mess (supposedly). If you wanted to dump the Warp Server (IMHO not a great idea, Lan Server is a spectacular system) you could install samba on the FreeBSD box and use Windows Networking clients.

It seems that since the ports and packages reside on different CD's, the sysinstall utility does not work properly. I've given up on using it and have begun to install ports/packages manually. When installing manually, I have to copy the ports files off the cdrom onto the hard disk. I'm using 'make install' and a 'work' directory is expected and cannot be created naturally on the cdrom. Is there anything I can do differently to get around this? Right now, my biggest problem seems to be the absence of 'imake'. It doesn't appear to be on any of the CD's and my manual installation tactics have failed when trying to install 'apsfilter' which depends on 'trasfig' which depends on 'xpm' which requires 'imake' (Frustration, Frustration, Frustration). I didn't seem to have so much trouble with 2.1.0. Anyway, I can't read the FreeBSD newsgroups and get any help as I can't install 'cnews', 'inn', 'tin', etc... Can you give me any help/ideas? thanks John Rushford wjjr@sapphire.alisa.org From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 10 17:29:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id RAA16896 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 17:29:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from python.shoal.net.au (root@python.shoal.net.au [203.26.44.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id RAA16890 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 17:29:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from grfpc1 (monty-port17.shoal.net.au [203.26.44.27]) by python.shoal.net.au (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA26273; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 12:29:52 +1100 (EST) Message-ID: <32D6FA94.6D83@shoal.net.au> Date: Sat, 11 Jan 1997 12:27:32 +1000 From: Andrew Perry X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Doug White CC: questions freebsd Subject: Re: SmartConnex PM2001 SCSI References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk It is definitely a SCSI controller but according to the manual it can emulate a WD1003.

Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <1CA927E5D71@bandung.wasantara.net.id> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I wonder if there is anyone here ever experience a bug in setsockopt(). I did this when I found the bug: ...skipped if ((fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) err("socket"); mes("socket"); #if defined(SO_SNDBUF) || defined(SO_RCVBUF) if (sockbufsize) { if (trans) { if (setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, (char*) &sockbufsize,sizeof(sockbufsize)) < 0) err("setsockopt: sndbuf"); mes("sndbuf"); } else { if (setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &sockbufsize, sizeof sockbufsize) < 0) err("setsockopt: rcvbuf"); mes("rcvbuf"); } } #endif ...skipped optlen = sizeof(sockbufsize); if (getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, (char *) &sockbufsize, &optlen) < 0) err("getsockopt"); printf("socket send buff before connect: %d\n", sockbufsize); if(connect(fd, &sinhim, sizeof(sinhim) ) < 0) err("connect"); mes("connect"); optlen = sizeof(sockbufsize); if (getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, (char *) &sockbufsize, &optlen) < 0) err("getsockopt"); printf("socket buff size after connect: %d\n", sockbufsize); The two getsockopt() above produced different value of socket buffer size. When I didn't try to change the socket buffer size and used the default value instead, the first getsockopt() would produce 16384 bytes. I think this is the correct value, since FreeBSD set the default value for socket buffer size to 16384 bytes. But the second getsockopt() would produce 17280 bytes. I couldn't find any reasonable explanation of this behaviour, but I think it is a bug in FreeBSD networking code. I even couldn't set the socket buffer size to another value. It still shows 17280 bytes. And another crosscheck using tcpdump still shows a receive window of 17280 which means that the receive buffer is set to 17280. I need a reasonable explanation around this problem. Is there anyone here who is able to give such explanation to me ? -Eka Kelana- STTTelkom From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 10 20:31:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id UAA26322 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 20:31:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from pent.vnet.net (slip129-37-195-143.nc.us.ibm.net [129.37.195.143]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id UAA26311 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 20:31:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from pent.vnet.net (ns01 [127.0.0.1]) by pent.vnet.net (8.8.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA00720 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 23:31:17 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199701110431.XAA00720@pent.vnet.net> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: How do I set 100MB mode on fxp0 Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 23:31:13 -0500 From: "Adam W.

The only way I was able to get a dial-in PAP PPP server to work was to add the 'silent' keyword into your options file. Without it, Win95 wouldnt reliably connect. It was basically hit or miss, with no patern at all. I was using a autosensing PPP getty though, and was using the login info instead of a pap-secret file. If nothing is working for you though, I dunno if silent will make a difference.

You have to use fdisk and disklabel creatively. Easiest way I can think of, without loosing win95, would be to boot win95, back up C: to the other HD, resize C: to leave enough room to put a FreeBSD root slice (and swap) on wd0 (say, 30megs + swap). Then, AFTER restoring win95 to it's new (smaller) home, and makign sure it works, go ahead with the FreeBSD install. Should work fine.

No, I don't think there will be any noticeable performance increase. News servers are typically I/O-bound and not CPU-bound. I'll repost a reply I had just sent to inet-access, although the numbers will be different for you (unless you also want 40GB of spool ;-) ). >>>>> On Thu, 9 Jan 1997, DeWayne Ashcraft wrote: > > Are there any drawbacks to using a 45GB disk array for the news > server?

Space and expense considerations aside, I would instead buy three ranks of 7x2GB 7200 rpm drive arrays, one ultra-wide controller per rank. Stripe your filesystems *across* the controllers using an appropriate strip width (it may be non-obvious what the optimal width is, depending on your OS). 24 drives (3 spare), 3 nice rackmount cases and 3 Adaptec 2940UW's will cost around $15000 US if I've done my currency conversion correctly. This setup is more for concurrency than for capacity. I would aim to limit your spool filesystem to about 50% just before an expire runs. Don't worry about the unused space... it will eventually fill. ;-) Correct striping will tend to localize disk accesses related to article retrieval to a single disk, leaving the remaining drives free to service other concurrent requests. <<<<< -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't" From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 11 08:44:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id IAA23334 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 08:44:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from runningman.rs.itd.umich.edu (0@runningman.rs.itd.umich.edu [141.211.144.15]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id IAA23327 for ; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 08:44:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from HG-BASIC1MAIL.HG.MED.UMICH.EDU by runningman.rs.itd.umich.edu (8.7.5/2.3) with ESMTP id LAA16857; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 11:44:22 -0500 (EST) Received: from HG-BASIC1/SpoolDir by HG-BASIC1MAIL.HG.MED.UMICH.EDU (Mercury 1.21); 11 Jan 97 11:44:22 -0500 Received: from SpoolDir by HG-BASIC1 (Mercury 1.21); 11 Jan 97 11:43:56 -0500 Received: from wtaylor by HG-BASIC1MAIL.HG.MED.UMICH.EDU (Mercury 1.21); 11 Jan 97 11:43:51 -0500 Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Kacanski Aleksandar" Organization: SCAD To: questions@Freebsd.org Date: Sat, 11 Jan 1997 11:41:03 -5000 Subject: ps-2 mouse ("keyboard") driver conflict psm0 X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Kacanski Aleksandar" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.42a) Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@Freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Please could someone explain to me if PS-2 mouse ("keyboard mouse") driver is fixed or at least works because I did not have luck with it. I am running FreeBSD2.1.6 system on the TD-300 and I am very exited about improvements on the new version. Enabled driver psm0 will load but it conflicts with the keyboard driver sc0. Keyboard locks when I run XF86Setup. Also mouse is recognized but the motions are not synchronized, at least (mouse couldn't be used - cursor sits in the upper left corner). If the keyboard uses IRQ 1 and mouse 12 why I/O needs to be the same 0x60. Could I setup mouse to use I/O ox64. This is the only obstacle for me, but keeps me from exploring X-windows and working on some projects. p.s. I looked at the FAQ and Hand Book and I did recompile KERNEL as suggested.

You should copy the directory for the port you're interested in to the hard disk. Use 'cp -R /cdrom/ports/category/port ~/port' to copy it to your home directory. Then do 'cd port' and 'make' to build the port. > Right now, my biggest problem seems to be the absence of 'imake'.

I'm surprised that's in there; last time I built it xpm wasn't part of the package. You may also try installing the package, which is pre-built.

The mailing list is just as good as the newsgroup. (I don't really care that much for news or the newsreaders.)

See FAQ question #3.7. 3.7. I have a PS/2 mouse (``keyboard'' mouse) How do I use it? You'll have to add the following lines to your kernel configuration file and recompile: device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr # Options for psm: options PSM_NO_RESET #don't reset mouse hardware (some laptops) See the Handbook entry on configuring the kernel if you've no experience with building kernels. Once you have a kernel detecting psm0 correctly at boot time, make sure that an entry for psm0 exists in /dev. You can do this by typing: cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV psm0 When logged in as root. Note: Some PS/2 mouse controllers have a problem where the presence of the psm0 driver will cause the keyboard to lock up (which is why this driver is not present by default in the GENERIC kernel). This can sometimes be fixed by bouncing the NumLock key during the boot process. Also suggest going into CMOS setup and toggling any value for Numlock On/Off at boot time. The real fix is, of course, to merge the PS/2 mouse driver with syscons.

Before you do it, it's probably best to: *** 1 - make a backup copy of /etc to somewhere else. I generally !!! make two - one to the root filesystem, and one to another. 2 - Write down all of the IP addressing information that's in the /etc/sysconfig file. An easy way to do this is to print out your current sysconfig or keep a copy on another machine. 3 - Write down anything "odd" that you've configured with the machine - have you put extra entries in /etc/services? twiddled with the daily files? etc. 4 - Insert 2.2-BETA install and do an "upgrade". It's fairly painless, just don't try to do it over NFS at this point. :) -Dave Andersen Lo and behold, Stan Brown once said: > > I have a FreeBSD machine which is on my local network.

Create a file containing user:password in plain text format. e.g. yourname:yourpassword anothername:anotherpassword Run "crypt filename >passwd_file", replacing filename with the name of the file that contains this data, and passwd_file with the name of the user/password file (typically .htaccess). #include #include #include #include const char ll[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz."; char * salt(void) { static char buf[32]; int i; for (i=0; i < 8; i++) buf[i] = ll[rand() % sizeof(ll)]; buf[i] = '\0'; return buf; } int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { int carg = 0; srand((unsigned)time(NULL) ^ getpid()); while (++carg < argc) { char * argp = argv[carg]; FILE * fp = fopen(argp, "r"); if (fp == NULL) perror(argp); else { char tmp[256]; while (fgets(tmp, sizeof tmp, fp) != NULL) { char * p = strchr(tmp, '\n'); if (p != NULL) *p = '\0'; p = strchr(tmp, '\r'); if (p != NULL) *p = '\0'; p = strchr(tmp, ':'); if (p == NULL) p = tmp; else ++p; strcpy(p, crypt(p, salt())); printf("%s\n", tmp); } fclose(fp); } } return 0; } Regards, David Nugent - Unique Computing Pty Ltd - Melbourne, Australia Voice +61-3-9791-9547 Data/BBS +61-3-9792-3507 3:632/348@fidonet davidn@freebsd.org davidn@blaze.net.au http://www.blaze.net.au/~davidn/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 11 17:46:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id RAA23354 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 17:46:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from rifle.ACNS.ColoState.EDU (rifle.ACNS.ColoState.EDU [129.82.100.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id RAA23349 for ; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 17:46:06 -0800 (PST) From: gerard@holly.colostate.edu Received: from holly.ACNS.ColoState.EDU by rifle.ACNS.ColoState.EDU (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA71362; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 18:46:04 -0700 Received: from ts2209.SLIP.ColoState.EDU (ts2209.SLIP.ColoState.EDU [129.82.192.77]) by holly.ColoState.EDU (AIX4.2/UCB 8.7/8.7) with SMTP id SAA82532 for ; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 18:46:02 -0700 (MST) Message-Id: <32D8433F.4A87@holly.colostate.edu> Date: Sat, 11 Jan 1997 18:49:51 -0700 X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win16; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: bad super block Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello everyone, FreeBSD was in the middle of make-ing a port (kterm) when all of a sudden the computer rebooted (any ideas why?).

If you have the machine connected by a cross-over cable, be warned that the Pro/100B's auto speed detection doesn't deal with this correctly when the cards on both ends are Pro/100B's.

A company sells the Asus SC200 locally for $65(which is the 810), but havent seen anyone else selling them. Adaptec cards are outragously price, the plain 2940 is still around $200!

There is no jumpers or switches on the card. :-) Uh, that's not what I meant. An ethernet switch is a special device that does packet-level switching and has significant performance advantages over a non-switching ethernet hub. It also allows for ethernet bridging, and as a side-effect, can simultaneously support both 10Mbit and 100Mbit ethernet. >> If you have the machine connected by a cross-over cable, be warned that the >> Pro/100B's auto speed detection doesn't deal with this correctly when the >> cards on both ends are Pro/100B's.

Are they connected by a cross-over cable or a hub? If they are connected by a cross-over cable, then the answer is no, you'll need to at least get a 100Mbit hub. I complained to Intel about this deficiency a long time ago and was told that "cross-over cables aren't supported". >Also does the Berkley Packet filter's make it default to 10MB. The file >if_fxp.c makes it look like it does? BPF has nothing to do with the interface speed. I think you're probably refering to the device class, which is DLT_EN10MB and serves double-duty for both 10 and 100Mbit ethernet. In any case, this is only used to identify the link-layer encapsulation type for BPF. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 11 22:24:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id WAA12580 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 22:24:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from rhiannon.clari.net.au (dns1.clari.net.au [203.27.85.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id WAA12569 for ; Sat, 11 Jan 1997 22:24:01 -0800 (PST) Received: (from peter@localhost) by rhiannon.clari.net.au (8.7.5/8.6.12) id RAA22722; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 17:26:19 +1100 (EST) Date: Sun, 12 Jan 1997 17:26:19 +1100 (EST) From: Peter Hawkins Message-Id: <199701120626.RAA22722@rhiannon.clari.net.au> To: smpatel@umiacs.umd.edu Subject: Freebsd javac Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm having problems jetting javac to run. in /usr/local/share/java I have COPYRIGHT and classes.zip and lib /usr/local/bin/javac is: #!/bin/sh export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/java/classes.zip export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/share/java/ exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin -java sun.tools.javac.Main $* any attempt to run javac (which is running netscape 3.01 gold) results in: Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread Not surprisingly I can eliminate this error if I cd into /usr/local/share/java and unzip classes.zip then run javac (it then finds java/lang/Thread.class) *but* then if I place a t.java file (simple hello world program) in /usr/local/share/java/ then do a javac t.java in that directory, netscape runs and there is no output (even with -verbose) until I typed ^C after 6 1/2 minutes. a top indicates that netscape is using 95% of a P133 with 32MB so it should have done *something*.
