I ftp'ed the if_de.c driver from ftp.netbsd.org as suggested by Jason Thorpe (thanks!) earlier and it seems to be working well. The driver was a bit flaky with 2.1.6 but it's working well with 2.2-BETA_A. I am going to try it for a few days and then upgrade the rest of the machines (right now it's on a low priority machine).

There is a freeware utility that comes with FreeBSD, as well as a commercial utility called PartitionMagic (http://www.partition.com) that lets you repartition disks without formatting them. Take a (very good) look at the FreeBSD docs at http://www.freebsd.org. You may also want to take a look at the multi-os tutorial, also available on the web site.

The 2940 can have 16 SCBs while the A variants have only 3. I don't think it will make much of a difference when you have just a single disk on the bus, but it has nothing to do with the U or UW variants. > > Also, the cpu this will be on is a P6/150 w/64M Ram.

To get an overview of the different BSD variants you may want to take a look at each project's web site. Basically the differences are: BSDI is a commercial OS targeted at Intel based PCs NetBSD is a free OS whose main goal is portability FreeBSD is a free OS targeted at Intel based PCs. All those OSs are based (like many many others) on the BSD code developed by the CSRG at the UCB. Any modern UNIX book will probably have an overview of the hoistory and taxonomy of those variants.

A good site to look at is http://www.cons.org/cracauer/bsd.html. It's a subjective, incomplete rundown of the differences between NetBSD and FreeBSD, and it's quite good (it doesn't claim to be objective or complete).

That means, instead of waiting for timeout, maybe there is a way I can display a message to them, giving them certain messages discouraging them from TELNETing to this server.

Also, I have achieved some limited tape backup capability and Xwindows is up and running very well....there are some initialization problems however when X apps first appear on the screen...sometimes they are too large or not centered or stuff like that but they are there and usable and the platform looks very promising for the future....I sure miss the Microsoft cut and paste however in the XWin95 file manager....we need some object oriented code on this regard so I can cut and paste serveral directories and subdirectories of files at one time and move them around on the network or harddisk. One problem I am experiencing at the moment is : broken pipe when i try to pipe to more....is there a way to reinitialize the pipe read and write files and where exactly are they so I do not have to reinstall the entire operating system .....Thanks again and stay in touch because I think we can deliver a fairly useful and stable OS on as little as a 600$ GamesIntl Computer which I think is about 2 years behind Microsoft but should catch up very quickly with so many students working on future X applications and continued OS improvements.

Sometimes i can quit out of the ppp prograrm with no problems.. Othertimes I'll type quit and it will jsut hang my system, forcing me to reboot. My only idea is that when I installed freebsd the instalation didn't complete properly.. It got to the point where it said it was 100% done downloading the the man pages.. then froze. I heard my modem hang up, waitied a bit and reboot. I was able to bring bsd up by booting with /kernel.GENERIC... I configured the kernel the same way i did when I installed it, and when my modem was working, but no response from my modem now.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok, situation: I have a FreeBSD 2.1.6 box at home, it auto-dials in I run the FreeBSD box which is the dialup server I allocate all IP addresses etc for our network. I also have a mac connected to the freebsd box at home, through an ethernet card and TCP/IP (altho I'm going to also likely put a appletalk package on it as well). What I want is to allow the mac to route through the PC over the modem and to the internet, so both systems can have internet access at the same time, through the same modem. I can think of a few ways to do this, none of which would be easy or work with the current setup. When my home system dials the work system and fires up it does so with: /usr/sbin/pppd -detach crtscts modem :x.x.x.x Where x.x.x.x is setup as: arp -s 206.81.134.222 00:80:29:e9:1a:58 pub Off of the top of my head, it would seem like the best solution would be to get the pppd to simply handle two ip addresses to the same interface, and handle everything on the client end 'some how'. Unfortunately, I know not how this would be accomplished :) I've also considered having the home unix box proxy to the mac, and run the local network off the 192.168.* addresses. Unfortunately, I do not know how the 'proxy' would work either, as it would seem like the ppp interface from the server would still need two addresses.. -Brandon Gillespie From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 26 13:41:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA26252 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 26 Jan 1997 13:41:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from luke.cpl.net (root@[206.85.245.131]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA26243 for ; Sun, 26 Jan 1997 13:41:13 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA05781 for ; Sun, 26 Jan 1997 13:42:12 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 26 Jan 1997 13:42:12 -0800 (PST) From: Shawn Ramsey X-Sender: shawn@luke.cpl.net To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: file permissions Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This may be a dumb question.. but can someone please tell me how I make a directory that can only be read and written to by root? thanks.

Shawn, The man pages on chown, chgrp, and chmod should give you everything you need. Breifly you need to change the owner of the directory to root ( chown ) and do a chmod 600 on the directory.

(iijppp - I haven't tried pppd yet) For starters did this use to work with another ISP? If so then tun0 is probably ok otherwise you may have to have a look in the handbook on how to set it up, however if you use dynamic ip addresses don't put the ifconfig_tun0 line in your /etc/sysconfig as ppp works it out for you and if you disconnect and reconnect you'll have problems. To connect I do the following: ppp ppp ON circus> set device /dev/cuaa1 ppp ON circus> set speed 57600 ppp ON circus> set parity none ppp ON circus> set timeout 1200 ppp ON circus> accept chap ppp ON circus> disable pap ppp ON circus> set authname username ppp ON circus> set authkey password ppp ON circus> set openmode active ppp ON circus> set ifaddr 0 0 ppp ON circus> term atdt225003 (connect modem to isp) At this stage we get a menu and i put in my username and password, select ppp from a menu and ppp switches to packet mode. Yours may be different. Your prompt should change from ppp to PPP: PPP ON circus> which indicates that ppp is up and running. I'm not 100% sure what some of these commands do, and i've put them all in my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf along with a set dial command and set login command script which automatically log me into my isp. I did a bit of experimenting and found that i needed set openmode active for it to work (but don't know what it does - anyone?) and set ifaddr 0 0 which sets your ip address and his ip address according to what he tells you. I hope this helps.

I had this problem too; turns out that one of the compat2x libraries stomps on /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 with an incompatible(!) library missing _vasprintf.

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.

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 internal network is using the unassigned numbers 198.162.xxx.xxx and the FreeBSD box has 198.168.0.100 in /etc/hosts, gateway="YES" in /etc/sysconfig and the ethernet interface is configured with the address in /etc/hosts. The tun device is configured in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf with set ifaddr my_static_ip isp_gateway_ip I run ppp -auto -alias isp and everything works just fine. The only problem is that a lot of applications ( so far emacs and sendmail ) cause ppp to dial the isp when I am not trying to do anything other than local operations. just mailing to a local user causes the dialup. When looking at /var/log/maillog it says: sendmail[201]: gethostbyaddr() failed for my_static_ip 1) Why does sendmail even care about the other address for local operations? 2) How do I resolve this? Can I put two entries in /etc/hosts with the same name? The output from hostname is the current entry in /etc/hosts and my_static_ip resolves to some strange name my ISP gives me.

The first machine is a Win95 box and the second is a FreeBSD box. They are connected with a cross-over cable (which causes them to run at 10Mbps). My question is what should I be seeing when I do an ftp from one machine to another in terms of the amount of data per second that is transfered? When I start up a window with trafshow -i fxp0 it gives me the CPS that is transfered. This number seems to be lower than I expected. I get anywhere from 6,000 to 40,000 but it mostly stays around 8,000. Have I got a configureation problem here? or is this normal? TIA Adam W.

I have almost decided to give up, but with some luck today, I hear music on it after changing irqs, but now I have run into another problem -- the system reboots after about 3 seconds or so of sound. If I don't play any sound it does not reboot. Sound Card: Televideo Multimedia EX16 3D PNP * Claims to support Sound Blaster Pro and Windows Sound System I have tried the Sound Blaster driver, but I do not hear anything. It pretends to play the music (Real Audio's scroll bar moves and s3mod pretends to play), but I hear nothing. With the MSS driver, both play, but both will cause the system to panic and reboot which causes me to suspect the sound driver. The sound that comes through is very clear, but unfortunately the system reboots. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can't pin down which. I have found two companies so far that have trouble retrieving info from over here. Yahoo and Linkexchange are two. This is most noticable when they are trying to retrieve something from my site using their cgi scripts to either update search engines, or in the case of linkexchange, retrieve the banner.gif to put in their database. Now this is the odd part. Both sites show that they have immediatly accessed my site. They show up in the access_log as doing what they are supposed to do. Then however they time out, or fail. Yahoo fails on timeout, even though they have actually accessed the page being indexed, and Linkexchange failes with a Server Error from their site. I had a similar report from a person in Germany, but couldn't get back in touch with them as they went to China! My link here is only 28.8, and I know that this could be the source of some problems, however, I am beginning to suspect something much lower down the chain. SMTP also fails repeatedly, mostly with timeouts, on only certain sites. Some (most) go through immediatly, others NEVER go through? yet if I rout them to a nearby server at the local college, which is only one hop away, they go on from there immediatly, over it's 64K link. Now, is this purely a 28.8 problem, thus something I live with for the moment, or is there some sort of underlying timing problem here that I can maybe fix in the kernel.? Or indeed, is it even my problem at alll? I can't believe I'm the only person in the world working at 28.8K? Does anyone have any similar experiences, or ideas. Please dont just tell me that I should upgrade to a higher speed. I can't. thanks Robert -- Triple-W: P.O. Box 2003.

Hm. I would do it in perl, like this: #!/usr/bin/perl require "find.pl"; &find("."); sub wanted { if($_ =~ /\.html$/) { rename $_, "$_.bak"; open(IN, "$_.$$.bak"); open(OUT, ">$_"); while() { s/OLDSTRING/NEWSTRING/g; print OUT; } close(IN); close(OUT); } } This will do a search and replace of OLDSTRING with NEWSTRING with every file ending in .html in the tree starting with the current directory, first making a backup of each .html file to .html.bak . I have not tested this, though, so please take it with a grain of salt. If you want to call some script on every file in a directory (and on all of the subdirectories), you can also do this from perl: #!/usr/bin/perl require "find.pl"; &find("."); sub wanted { if (-f $_) { system("/path/to/script $_"); } } This will call /path/to/script once on every plain file in the tree rooted at . . I hope this helps. # Usage: # require "find.pl"; # # &find('/foo','/bar'); # # sub wanted { ... } # where wanted does whatever you want. $dir contains the # current directory name, and $_ the current filename within # that directory. $name contains "$dir/$_". You are cd'ed # to $dir when the function is called. The function may # set $prune to prune the tree. # >ta >bob >-- >Triple-W: P.O. Box 2003.

After the thread i want to ask some questions . 1 - Suppose ,for example, i have FreeBSD-2.1.5 with ,for example, sendmail version x.y.z . If i ftp from a.b.c the newest sendmail, unpack it in /usr/src and compile it , have i FreeBSD-2.1.5 or "FreeBSD-matra"? 2 - Why ports? I have installed many programs (nvi,vile,diffutils,a prolog compiler) from various srcs without problems ! 3 - FreeBSD's libc is different from the linux libc; Where can i get the src for it ? Wat about libg++ ?Can anyone give me information about diffs between linux-libc and freebsd-libc? 4 - Finally ; I have 2.2.0 src dist from ftp.freebsd.org ; When i try to compile it , this is the result : "Makefile", line 324:Could not find bsd.kern.mk And the /usr/sbin/config says : UNKNOWN % construct in generic makefile :%SFILES Have i to upgrade the config program ? 5 - Where can i get newest version of gcc/libc/libg++ ? Can i use sup for this purpose ? 6 - The last : using ppa driver for a zip-100 can i newfs an UFS fs on a 100MB disk ?

(plus you have a bit of free time). If you're an ISP (with commitment) or a student with interest in what makes a real OS happen, then maybe you qualify (feel free to correct me people!) Or, if you're like me, you have a relative needing a FreeBSD box to setup a proxy cache server (we should have started off with FreeBSD but didn't know until too late!) and you were interested so you installed it and couldn't resist learning something that no school can teach you.

On my i486/FreeBSD 2.1.5 machine I was also able to compile tci with gcc-2.6.3, but the executable code does not work at all, some of the command interpreter functions are not available. It seems to be a memory allocation problem, because the listing of the interpreter commands (you can get it with the help command) shows the strange ascii symbol "o" as an executable interpreter command! Here you can see a terminal dump: bash$ gcc -o tci tci.c ci.c bash$ ls -l tci* -rwxr-xr-x 1 johnny johnny 18842 Oct 15 18:55 tci* -rw------- 1 johnny johnny 102 Oct 15 14:49 tci.c bash$ ./tci ci: new command "quit" would be ambiguous with "" ci: new command "exit" would be ambiguous with "" ci: new command "alias" would be ambiguous with "" ci: new command "source" would be ambiguous with "" tci>help ? module ci: help system break debug o tci>system ci: system ci: back tci>debug ci: debugger ci: back tci>break bash$ I do not know, whether there is a mistake in our code or somewhere in the operating system. Our code seems to be stable on all of the above architectures. Please, extract and try out our code on one of your machines! It would be very nice, if you could give me an answer to my problem!

We run a FreeBSD machine at our side as a file- mail- everything server, the (unix) - clients however are SGI Indys. Our former fileserver was a (dare I say it) A/UX machine which means it was some kind of SVR3. What was nice with the old server was, that it was possible to symply export /var/mail and everyone was happily reading and writing mail using his preferred mail-reader on his preferred machine. Big surprise that was when I tried the same with the BSD Server! The SGIs took an awful lot of time to boot, fancy error messaged like "Can't contact fam server" and starting a Mail client kept it stuck for a while and then giving up with something like "cant lock mail folder". The reason seemed to be that the SGIs wanted to talk to the lockd to put a lock on the respective files on the server which wasn't possible, because there was no such daemon. Reading literature (the o'Reilly Book on NFS and NIS) made me discover that locking in BSD is only defined for local files, so there is no need for a lockd/statd pair in FreeBSD. OK. But what do you do if you want to serve SYSV clients? Here everybody reads email now on the server using elm and pine. But there might still be programs trying to lock files in users' homedirectories which couldnt work (I know at least one) So here are my (obvious) questions: Did anybody in a similar situation find an elegent solution? Is it possible (and if so is it planned) to port lockd/statd to FreeBSD thus implementing SYSV-locking semantics or would that be too much against the BSD-way to do things?

Would it be useful to have a defined format for submitting FAQs (like, "How do I get a UFS fs on a ZIP disk") to the project? And then something like send-pr ('send-faq'?) which could just be a shell script to run 'send-pr -f faq-template' or something. In addition, maybe stick an interface to it on the webpages? While I'm here -- how about a mailing list, like -chat, but for "technical items related to the FreeBSD community" (since that's the -chat description, minus the prepended 'Non'). For suggestions like this that aren't really questions. Perhaps then the traffic on -questions (and -hackers) which are more suggestions and commentary relating to FreeBSD would migrate over to this new list.

Typically, if you only want a single partition on your disk (a very good idea, IMO, though many people don't like it), you should choose another partition. I tend to choose partition a if it's a root file system (which means that only one disk has a partition a), b if it's a swap partition, or h for anything else. This isn't quite the same as sysinstall will give you when you install by default: it'll put /usr on partition e. There's not much choice between the two, but I prefer h. For example, my machine has (locally): === grog@freebie (/dev/ttyp8) ~ 28 -> df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 30206 21850 5940 79% / /dev/wd0s1e 1152422 951538 108692 90% /usr /dev/sd0h 875927 602152 203701 75% /home /dev/sd1h 1841395 898420 795663 53% /src /dev/sd2h 3927761 3213385 400155 89% /S You *can* have more than one swap. I've heard rumours that some utilities can get confused if it's not on partition b, though that would mean a bug in that utility, but there's no good reason not to put it on b.

We're defining the h partition to be identical with the c partition. This is kosher, and it doesn't give the 'no magic' messages, but I'm not 100% sure why. Is there possibly something else that you have done that would explain the difference (maybe the 'dangerously dedicated' mode)? Or maybe it's because you specified 'tc=4.2BSD'.

No compelling reason to upgrade at the moment (especially since the "upgrade" installation option is pretty rough still). However, there are a variety of packages/ports that have appeared in Current etc. that we need. I went ahead and re-ported them, and now have functional ports for these older versions. Would it me of any value to submit them for inclusion as part of the older version? Obviously, I'm not the only one out there who wants newer versions of ports/packages, but doesn't want to install a completely new OS to get them? How would I submit them? Dan.

Once I wrote a note about setting up user www pages, this question started a thread about how to configure your system as a new sysop, Anyways, people where talking about having different domain names IP addresses on one machine so that when you outgrew it, it wasn't a big hassle to change. Here is the deal, We want to have one computer (for now) that runs DNS, WWW, FTP, TELNET, POP, PPP and anything else. We have a 2 mbit IP Feed, and will be the only service providers in the country (Alania, part of the Russian Federation). That means we will be the only providers in an area of about 2 million people. We want to have www.rno.ssc.ac.ru mail.rno.ssc.ac.ru ftp.rno.ssc.ac.ru telnet.rno.ssc.ac.ru dialup.rno.ssc.ac.ru admin.rno.ssc.ac.ru All running on one machine, whith the ability to expand and move each service to it's own machine without having to have all the user change thier configurations. I would assume it would just be a matter of putting multiple names in the /etc/hosts file and using the same IP address for the every aliase. (How would this look? would I put a local host entry in front of every aliase?) But moving the service from this machine would have to change the ip, is there anyway to aliase IP addresses and have that address move with the aliased hostname? Those replying, (I'm not on the list, to this address) plase send your address, We'll send 500!!!!

Hardware 486-66 w/ 16MB RAM 400MB HDD (IDE) Intel Ether express 16 - set as per FAQ. I also tried a 3C509 - (but didn't disable the PnP stuff ) It seems to serve pages great for the entire time I am here at work. Yet when I go home, it quits responding to any IP requests (Ping, WWW Telnet etc). This hangs on for several hours, and then the box will start responding again. I don't think that it has ever happened while I am here, but it doesn't crash the box. It just starts responding to IP again! Is chron or something taking up all the CPU resources. Is this network card screwing up. (Don't think it's network, as it is responding the same with either card) Am I just _stupid_? Please, help me before I switch to NT - No actually I wouldn't ever do that! Especially with this hardware ! === I posted this, and didn't really get any great responses. Thanks for those that tried! Some additional information. The box seems to quit responding to any IP requests. I telnet to another Linux box that's on the local ether, and PING the (problem) BSD box. It responds, and then starts loading pages again. The problem just seems intermittent. I have switched back to a 3C509 with PnP disabled. The box is configured most as default install.

That was probably me. BTW, I'd be interested in the background of the statement in your message of 28 December: The changers as shipped work with FreeBSD (2.1.6; AHA 1740A BIOS rev 1.35) but may be the source of catastrophic damage to mounted filesystems which occurs when a bad spot is found on the tape. I believe that this is not possible unless there is a bug in the restore software. Even if everything goes wrong with the tape hardware, the software should not damage the file system. Can you expand?

I got a reply to my original question about problems finding my CD ROM after upgrading to 2.2 From some kind soul asking for some more details. I replied to his mail, and not the list unfortunately there seems to be a DNS problem with that address, so since I still have not solved the problem, I will post the details here. I have upgraded from 2.1.5 to 2.2 BETA 2.1.5 found my ATAPI CDROM just fine. I am using the same kernel config file for 2.2. When booting from the 2.2 BETA floppy the CD is found. When booting from the hard drive it is not. When I try to mount it I get "Device not configured" I posted the relevant lines from my kernel config file in the original message.

In general, if you're looking to run a server or other stable system, look to 2.1.6-RELEASE or 2.2-RELEASE when available. If you're looking to test what's current in FreeBSD, run the 3.0-SNAPs. I am running the beta on my box and no problems except for trouble with the ncr SCSI controller probing, which I fixed with a kernel recompile. The web pages at http://www.freebsd.org contain an explanatory page that describes the FreeBSD release structure.

The DOS partition is 313MB, the rest is reserved for FreeBSD. The problem is, after setting up the FreeBSD slice and individual filesystems; /, /var, /usr, and swap. I get a "Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes)" message. After reading a previous posting where someone used to Alt-F2 to get debug info, I was able to get a little more info: --------------------------------------------------------------------- DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length DEBUG: Mounted DOS device (/dev/sd0s1) on /dos. . bin bin/cat bin/chmod /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 /stand/cpio: premature end of file --------------------------------------------------------------------- This would seem to indicate a problem with the compressed install files located in the c:\freebsd\bin, c:\freebsd\des, etc. I have downloaded and verified the byte size of all the files in question, many times. I have checked the integrity of the DOS partition, which is good. The only thing I can think of is a possible incompatiblity between the freebsd loader and DOS partitions. I might add that this is actually an uncompressed Windows 95 partition. I have since read that there is a problem with installing FreeBSD from DOS partitions. ARRRGH!!!! Has this been fixed yet???!!! I would gather this present a major problem for people installing FreeBSD, if they aren't loading from CD-ROM. Please help.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk First I would like to report that /stand/sysinstall has some trouble installin the netscape 3.01 gold package. It reports something like "unable to fetch package upmtyscratch." I was able to do this manually so I require no response to this. I am running FreeBSd 2.1.5 on a P100. I run X using startx. The 'specific' reason for asking these 'general' questions about environment variables will became apparent in a bit. How does one set an environment variable? Is an environment variable established on a system wide or per user basis? Where does on set an environment variable for the user/system? Now to the specifics. The rest of this is mostly non-freebsd related. Any help offered will be appreciated. I can't get proper keyboard function in netscape. The supplied docs don't either don't address my situation or I don't understand what they are telling me. When installing netscape 3.01 the README docs tell me to put a file XKeysymDB into /usr/lib/X11/ which doesn't exist on the FreeBSD tree. I intuited that this file should be placed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. The keyboard still did not function properly for netscape after I did this. The netscape README also says that the use of the file XKeysymDB default location can be overidden by the "elusive :)" environment variable. Hence the reason for asking the above questions. What variable must I set and where is it? Will setting up netscape using XKeysymDB mess up the normal keyboard mapping? How does this relate to xmodmap? -- Thank you, Wannabe Sysadmin Jason Wells __________________________________________ / / / Highperformance.net / / The homeless domain / / "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" / /_________________________________________/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 27 20:49:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA17273 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 20:49:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from lists.dcro.dla.mil ([33.19.104.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA17268 for ; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 20:49:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from tensbum (col-oh6-24.ix.netcom.com [199.183.200.216]) by lists.dcro.dla.mil (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA00989 for ; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 23:44:42 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199701280444.XAA00989@lists.dcro.dla.mil> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Michael P.

Well, I've got a CDU33A (it's the double-speed big-brother of 31a), and it's connected to a SB-Vibra 16 card. I've installed 2.1.0 and 2.1.5 from it. So I think, some settings are wrong with your card, or maybe the 2.1.6 has some new uncompatible features. a) Did you put the CD into the drive before booting? b) Try to download the 2.1.5's boot floppy from ftp.freebsd.org.

If you can do it, try to search the locking mechanism, which isn't implemented, too. But there are so many DOS-commands, which can do it with my CDU 33A (connected to a SB Vibra16).

I realise this is not in bug report format. FreeBSD nanguo.chalmers.com.au 2.2-961014-SNAP FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP #0: Tue Jan 28 14:23:53 EST 1997 root@nanguo.chalmers.com.au:/usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL i386 I am connected to the carrier (ISP) through my Stallion EasyServer 8 Port. This is an Annex the same as the XYLogics Annex. Running V9.xx software erpcd. The problem that has surfaced; Some, not all, sites around the world are not able to connect to any of my FreeBSD servers to exchange information. Let me rephrase that: They can connect, but not exchange information past that point. I have no idea what OSs the other sites are using. The number of sites is not large, but significant. I am currently logging over 4000 connections a month from individual places. Well over 1GB of data transferred. the Problem. examples: 1. mail (sendmail) to some sites can only deliver 1 line messages. To other sites not at all. The sites report back with timeout and other messages indicating a failure to complete transactions with my site 2. ftp from other sites into the ftp server will connect then hang, and the connection is reset. Most interestingly, one freebsd site changed to a Linux server, and connected fine, and completed the transfer. 3. http/web servers will connect and hang, others will go so slowly that they are as good as unusable. Most notable are yahoo.com and linkexchange.com. All the other search engines connect and exchange data with no worries. It should be noted that linkexchange.com will talk happily to this site, EXCEPT when it is required to SUBMIT my banner for its archive. It connects, then I get a server error from Linkexchanges server. Yahoo simply fails all together. The error returned is a timeout. Systems known to work with my site with no worries. SCO Unix BSDI NT '95 I can connect to, and be connected to these OSs with no worries. I have tried setting tcp_extensions NO and YES. If set to YES, I am unable to ftp to another FBSD site that also has tcp_extensions set YES (on). The connection simply 'hung'. If I set rfc1323 to 0 (off) the ftp connection worked fine, the other end being (on). The same happened at the other end, when they tried to ftp to me. set tcp_extension on, fail, set it off, fine. The only constant is the Annex. However, why does it pass _most_ traffic, if it is the fault of the Annex, and only fail on some.? If FreeBSD is going to be so fussy about its tcp/ip flow, shouldn't it be reworked. The world is still full of less than leading edge hardware! Some of it brand new... If anyone wants to comment or offer help, I'mm happy to keep trying to track this bug(ger) down. cheers, Robert -- Triple-W: P.O. Box 2003.

(How would this look? would I put a local host entry > in front of every aliase?) Most people, and certainly any commercial ISP don't use /etc/hosts! You use DNS, and if you're going to be an ISP, probably have more that one DNS server. There is no problem with letting one IP address be pointed to by more than one DNS name (there are two ways of doing it - with A records or CNAME records). You can then change the IP address for any of the names with a simple change in one file (and waiting until the change propogates through the internets - usually something like a couple of days). It seems you'll need to get to know DNS better.

Somehow the Annex's turn some of the trafic into "chernobyl" packets (ie all lamps and bells set). This is only a problem if the other end also supports the extensions (ie a FreeBSD box).

(using the "link0" flag, of course). As far as I can tell, I should be able to. I've currently got 486DX4-75 laptop running DOS + plip.com + NCSA ftp/telnet, trying to hook up to FreeBSD 2.1.5 (486DX2-50) with the lp0 interface configured and laplink cable (demonstrated to work with both interlnk.exe and laplink itself). The DOS end gives up, saying 'local host not responding'. Using "netstat -s", I can see the (ip) packets being picked up by the kernel but also being rejected as bad, due to "incorrect version". I must assume that NCSA ftp/telnet IP packets would be the same version as the FreeBSD as the IP version (4) has been around for some considerable time. Therefore, I suspect other problems. If anyone would like to disabuse me of this notion, then feel free. Anybody care to tell me i'm barking up the wrong tree? or point me to the right tree? I'd be willing to do more diagnostic work if I knew where to try. tcpdump never sees any of these packets. thanks in advance, Mark --- FreeBSD? Absolutely Fabulous.

FreeBSD implements T/TCP. You can disable this via by turning tcp_extensions off. SCO, Linux do not implement T/TCP, which is to their disadvantage. T/TCP gives you big wins if opening and closing a lot of TCP connections. Broken boxes like the Annex don't like T/TCP (it is broken, because if the Annex properly implemented IP/TCP, it wouldn't have a problem). Newer software releases for the Annex fix this problem. I'm not aware of any equipment that doesn't like T/TCP that couldn't be fixed with a software upgrade.

I don't understand what you are saying here; if you are saying that it works with extensions off, then it is easy to explain: o All TCP/IP implementations *must* support extension negotiation for locally unsupported extensions (they are to negotiate them "off"). Not all TCP/IP implementations are conforming. o All TCP/IP implementations *must* support data in SYN packets, even though most implementations do not generate data in SYN packets. T/TCP will generate data in SYN packets; so will the FreeBSD "finger" (man finger). Not all TCP/IP implementations are conforming. If you detect a non-conforming implementation: 1) Contact the vendor for a fix; one probably exists. 2) If no fix is available, turn extension off on the FreeBSD system, and submit a bug report to the vendor so that a fix will happen. If you think things are bad now, wait until the net begins migrating to IPv6 at the router level.

Please notify Annex that their TCP/IP implementation is non-conforming int the area of option negotiation (the "Cherynobl packets", where if any option bits are set, all option bits get set). They are non-compliant with forwarding of SYN packets containing data, since they strip the data. They are also nominally non-compliant with extention negotiation, since they should negotiate with the host to turn extensions they do not support off (ie: RFC 1323 and RFC 1644). They also do not implement RFC 1323 or RFC 1644 (they *must* implement *all* extensions they fail to negotiate off). In short, we *claim* they are broken because they *are* broken. If you wish to be able to interoperate with faulty implementations, you can always turn off the extensions which trigger the problem with the faulty implementation. Meanwhile, it provides a nice diagnostic for detecting bad TCP/IP implementations, which will only be going to hell in a big way all at once when IPv6 gating comes online, otherwise.

Does the remote system triggering the problem have extensions enabled? I believe the extensions setting in FreeBSD just changes the default state, and if a remote host negotiates them on, they will be on for that session. Are extensions off on *both* ends?

FTPing between machines, you should be seeing something around 500kbps or more depending on the disk system and how loaded the machine is at the time. I haven't used trafshow so I can't say how CPS translates to kbps.

Many programs don't install without changes, and others require odd setup steps.

The diffs would be entire files, let me tell you. :) If you're interested in the source, you can do one of many things: 1. install the sbin (?) distribution from the cd or ftp site. This is all the binaries and libraries, but libc will be in there. 2. Find someone with the cvs tree on their machine, and use cvs checkout to check out the libc section from any version you like. 3. Set up cvsup and either grab the necessary collection (src-bin?), in CVS or checked-out form from any point in time. 4. Go to http://www.freebsd.org, Support->CVSWeb and look at the source and change logs file-by-file. > 4 - Finally ; I have 2.2.0 src dist from ftp.freebsd.org ; When i try > to compile it , this is the result : > > "Makefile", line 324:Could not find bsd.kern.mk > > And the /usr/sbin/config says : > > UNKNOWN % construct in generic makefile :%SFILES > > Have i to upgrade the config program ? Compiling from source is very difficult. Check if /usr/share/mk/bsd.kern.mk exists; if not, you'll need to grab it. > 5 - Where can i get newest version of gcc/libc/libg++ ? Can i use sup > for this purpose ? The latest version (2.7.2.1) is included in FreeBSD 2.2 and later (from what I'm told -- I apologize for the misreference to 2.1.6, if that's the case). It should be sufficient for most purposes. If you need newer, check to see if it's in -current first. If it is in -current, you should be able to pull the gcc directory and build it separately. Or if you feel *really* lucky, you can attempt to port it yourself, but you'd better be familiar with the FreeBSD-specific changes before doing so. > 6 - The last : using ppa driver for a zip-100 can i newfs an UFS fs on > a 100MB disk ? I've never used it, so I can't say. I will say that the SCSI version works quite well though, and the necessary disktab entries are stored in the mail archives on http://www.freebsd.org -> Search. > Uff... so much things to do and so little time available .... It's as hard as you want to make it. :) If you haven't taken the opportunity recently, check out http://www.freebsd.org, especially the Documentation section. Tons of great info there in the Handbook and FAQ. Hope this helps.

The system doesn't use master.passwd, so you can hack it all you like and you'll see no ill effects. To regenerate it: run vipw Make some change, then change it back. Save & quit the file.

Since there has been a great deal of discussion of tcp connections hanging when passing through annexes, I thought I would bring up the problem that I am having. The symptoms are *very* similar but the hardware is different. Perhaps my problem will shed some light on the other people's problem. I am running 2.1.6-stable connected to the Internet via an Ascend Pipeline 50 router on my end and a Livinsgton Portmaster (unknown model) at my ISP over two ISDN b-channels. My ISP routes my traffic through a CISCO router (unknown model) to UUNET and then to the Internet. The symptom that I encounter is as follows: * Client on my side opens ftp connection to certain sites. * Client begins file transfer and connection seems to hang after some data has already been transferred. The sure way to reproduce the problem is to ftp to ftp.caldera.com, cd to pub/mirrors/redhat/updates/i386 and type dir. Only about half of the directory listing makes it through. In addition, sup fails every night and I was unable to install FreeBSD using FTP because of this problem. I have also seen the same lock ups as have been described by others including NNTP headers and image transfers for web pages. The problem happens regardless of the tcp_extensions setting in sysconfig. Also, I have seen the exact same problem with Windoze 95 clients. I also saw the problem with linux 2.x kernels but not with linux 1.2.13! What happens can be seen from the tcpdump output included below: The Livingston/Ascend never manage to pass the packet containing octets 2485-3945 down to my network. My FreeBSD box keeps asking for a retransmission. No matter how many times caldera retransmits, the bytes never make it through. It appears from the Pipeline's stats that the Pipeline is rejecting the packet as having an invalid header. So I suspect that the Livingston is corrupting them, but I do not know that for sure yet. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. ++Brian PS - I used caldera.com as an example of a site that I have trouble communicating with. I am not claiming that this is their fault! They are simply an innocent bystander.

Just wondering, but would it be possible to detect these bogus packets from the Annex and revert to no-rfc1323 for the connection? And for Robert: If you read RFC 1323, you'll find that it deals with TCP sequence number wrapping on log fat pipes, so unless you have a 155 Mbps ATM connection to Melbourne, you won't need RFC 1323. After having problems like this with someone in Melbourne who could not send me mail, or read my WWW server, I have disabled RFC 1323 extensions on my main boxes so that Annex-crippled people around the world can talk to me. My 512kbps link means that there is no point to the extensions anyway I'll send you the RFC. regards, Danny From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 28 14:13:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA14447 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 14:13:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from jump.net (serv1-2.jump.net [204.238.120.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA14439 for ; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 14:13:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from benjamin.adonai.com by jump.net (8.8.4/BERK-6.8.11) id QAA13278; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 16:12:51 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19970128221326.006b6e48@jump.net> X-Sender: adonai@jump.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 28 Jan 1997 16:13:26 -0600 To: "Daniel Keller" From: Lee Crites Subject: Re: downloading multiple files Cc: "FreeBSD Questions Mailing List" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 23:25 27-01-97 -0800, Daniel Keller wrote: >I have a large set of files I would like to download (the 2.2 bin), how can >I make a script to download these and some others like the man pages.

What's really happening is that one packet from Caldera (the one containing bytes 2485:3945) is consistently getting dropped somewhere between Brian's ISP and Brian. I'd look closely at the link between Brian and his ISP (Ascend Pipe50 <--> Livingston Portmaster, over 2 ISDN B-channels). Possible causes include: * flakey hardware; * buggy MLPPP on either the Ascend or Livingston ends; * buggy V-J compression on either the Ascend or Livingston ends; * (your good idea goes here). My bet would be that the Ascend is dropping the packet because it thinks (correctly or not) that it has a bad PPP-CRC. For masochists, here is my annotation of Terry's packet exegesis; my comments are marked with -->, and Terry's with XXX, where I think he went astray: > 15:25:16.874058 caldera.com.ftp-data > > bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001: S 4117168473:4117168473(0) win 512 1460> [tos 0x8] > 15:25:16.874257 bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001 > > caldera.com.ftp-data: S 3890833409:3890833409(0) ack 4117168474 win > 17520 (DF) > 15:25:17.025729 caldera.com.ftp-data > > bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001: . ack 1 win 31744 [tos 0x8] ***** Caldera acks us... > 15:25:19.873299 caldera.com.ftp-data > > bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001: P 1:1025(1024) ack 1 win 31744 (DF) > [tos 0x8] Caldera sends us data... > 15:25:19.921828 bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001 > > caldera.com.ftp-data: . ack 1025 win 17520 (DF) [tos 0x8] We ack Caldera (successfully for 1..1024, next send from offset 1025)... > 15:25:19.969787 caldera.com.ftp-data > > bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001: P 1025:2485(1460) ack 1 win 31744 (DF) > [tos 0x8] Caldera sends us more data... > 15:25:20.121842 bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001 > > caldera.com.ftp-data: . ack 2485 win 17520 (DF) [tos 0x8] We ack Caldera (successfully for 1024..2484, next send from offset 2485)... > 15:25:20.313058 caldera.com.ftp-data > > bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001: P 3945:4450(505) ack 1 win 31744 (DF) > [tos 0x8] XXX Caldera skips 2485..3944 (THEY ARE BROKEN!)... --> No, the packet just got dropped in transit. > 15:25:20.313167 bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001 > > caldera.com.ftp-data: . ack 2485 win 17520 (DF) [tos 0x8] We ack Caldera (successfully for 1024..2484, next send from offset 2485) to get it to back up to that offset and resend... > 15:25:20.497450 caldera.com.ftp-data > > bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001: F 4450:4450(0) ack 1 win 31744 [tos > 0x8] XXX Caldera loses its mind and sends us totally bogus crap... --> No, another packet just got lost, Caldera has not yet received our out-of-sequence ACK telling them to start retransmitting at 2485. > 15:25:20.497542 bcc01.burton-computer.com.40001 > > caldera.com.ftp-data: . ack 2485 win 17520 (DF) [tos 0x8] We ack Caldera (successfully for 1024..2484, next send from offset 2485) to get it to back up to that offset and resend...

Ah, but it does. It's just that other FreeBSD systems (like Yahoo) still have them turned on, so the Annex is dropping its guts regardless. As has been mentioned, the _correct_ response is to tell your provider that their Annex is _BROKEN_, and that they need to upgrade its software (which I believe is a free exercise, but you can ransack Xylogics' website for details there) preferably before you take your business elsewhere. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

The traces that have been posted don't show that as being the problem. TCP extensions cause problems at connection startup and the traces are showing that a regular data packet is being dropped. One possible reason that this problem is being noticed when FreeBSD machines are involved might be due to FreeBSD's Path MTU Discovery causing the packets to be large. It seems likely to me that the Annex can't deal with large packets some or all of the time and drops the packet rather than fragmenting and/or without sending the proper ICMP message (which would break MTU discovery). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 28 15:58:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA20629 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 15:58:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA20573; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 15:58:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by root.com (8.7.6/8.6.5) with SMTP id PAA17781; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 15:54:34 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199701282354.PAA17781@root.com> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.root.com: Host localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: Michael Smith cc: shovey@buffnet.net (Steve), terry@lambert.org, robert@nanguo.chalmers.com.au, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG, hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: progress report on connection problems In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 29 Jan 1997 09:13:31 +1030." <199701282243.JAA13081@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> From: David Greenman Reply-To: dg@root.com Date: Tue, 28 Jan 1997 15:54:34 -0800 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >Steve stands accused of saying: >> > >> > 1) Contact the vendor for a fix; one probably exists. >> > >> > 2) If no fix is available, turn extension off on the FreeBSD >> > system, and submit a bug report to the vendor so that a >> > fix will happen. >> >> Turning extensions off does not stop the problem. > >Ah, but it does.

Oh, and BTW, only one side needs to have them disabled for them to be disabled. I highly doubt that Yahoo has the extensions enabled, anyway.

Actually, you can pull all the files, organize them by distribution, put them somewhere on your UNIX filesystem, use the 'ufs' install method, and point it to the files. I did this to upgrade our master server, since we mirror a local copy of the FreeBSD distribution to it. It's slower than local Ethernet, but it's better than dialing in over modem.

Neither; it requires it's own partition type. You may place the archive files on a PRIMARY partition and point the install program at it, however; we call this a "DOS install" and is fully detailed in the install documentation with the CD or at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html.

Once ppp establishes the connection, it configures tun0 appropriately and executes the commands in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup, which should reset the routes. When ppp exists, it will remove the routes it's added, so when it quits entirely (not when it disconnects with -auto on), it will ifconfig tun0 down and remove routes. > Two other things I am curious about is that when I put the netmask value > of 255.255.255.0 in the ppp.conf in either hex or as shown it displays > in show ipcp as neg... 255.255.255.255/32. Also with the os I did not > receive getbyhostname,etc. and wondered if this was my problem. The netmask is OK; it's just presenting it in the alternate notation. 'getbyhostname' isn't a program, it's a library call, and the real name is 'gethostbyname'. If you're getting errors from it, your nameservice isn't working properly. Make sure that /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/host.conf are set properly. > The attachment by the time you read this may be reconfigured but > I include it anyway.

You will need to install a newer version of FreeBSD. I think 2.1.0 and later had ATAPI support; I suggest 2.1.6 or 2.2-BETA if you feel adventurous. All newer versions do not have root.flp, we killed that beast in 2.1.5, thankfully :) You will want to use the boot.flp that comes with the version you are installing. Using older installers on new systems is asking for trouble. You'll want to use the 'upgrade' procedure, unless you don't particularly care for your system and don't mind rebuilding it.

I assume this is IDE/ATAPI interfaced. Success rates on ATAPI vary as much as the drives do. You can improve your chances by moving your CD to the slave position on the primary controller, or single on the secondary controller. But you have to try it and see. You can download the boot.flp from ftp.freebsd.org and run it w/o installing to see if the system will find your CD. > As a student I've got to consider these wee things, especially as Linux > didn't like my mouse ( a standard microsoft ps2! ), but I really want to > try freeBSD as my fifth os on my machine. ps/2 mice require a kernel rebuild, but they do work well with XFree86.

Hm, your 3c509 may be spotty or using the same IRQ as another device in the system. Check that your card uses unique settings -- disable PnP on the card and hand-wire it if you have to. Can we see the output of 'netstat -rn' and 'netstat -i'?

User PPP (iijppp) gives you a nice command line & terminal interface, so you can tune ppp on the fly and login manually if necessary. It also supports automatic dialout and hangup. Kernel ppp (pppd) is faster and more stable, but runs by scripts and config files. Generally, people use iijppp; but once you get a real working config with iijppp, you have a good start on building the chat scripts to get pppd working.

What seems to be the problem? Can I fix it? 1. Your modem must be on COM1 or COM2, or you must modify the settings for sio0 or 1 to match your modem. 2. ppp starts at COM1 (sio0) by default. If you need to change it to COM2/sio1, enter the command set device /dev/cuaa1 Hope this helps.

Actually, it DOES require additional setup, but by default the Windows networking junk is installed when an ethernet card is installed. We gracefully strip it out when we install Ethernet cards in student's machines. Anyway, to get FreeBSD Windows Networking, you'll need to install the Samba package.

I use FreeBSD on my Pentium as my primary Internet access, and Warp on my laptop (with WinOS/2) for actually getting things done. :) Both can boot back to DOS for fun&games if necessary.

When I tried to install FreeBSD from the Pipeline LAN the first few bytes of the bin dist made it through. The laptop works fine dialed into the Portmaster via modem, though. Therefore I do not think it is the Portmaster, although who knows? Maybe the Portmaster is munging the packets and the Pipeline is less liberal in what it receives than FreeBSD? I will have to get tcpdump running on the Portmaster LAN and the Pipeline LAN simultaneously and see what I can see. > The symptom that I encounter is as follows: > > * Client on my side opens ftp connection to certain sites. > > * Client begins file transfer and connection seems to hang after > some data has already been transferred. > > The sure way to reproduce the problem is to ftp to ftp.caldera.com, cd > to > pub/mirrors/redhat/updates/i386 and type dir.

The best way to get what you want is to go through the 'custom' procedure. Unfortunately, you're down to picking every little bit. This gets especially tricky with Xwindows--you have to know what's required and what's not. I'd suggest something a bit more conservative, i.e., 'X User'. You can always add stuff later, but getting it back off once it's on is a pain. > The other issue > would be, I can save the files to C:, but so what?

That's for the DOS install option. Hope this helps. I didn't go into too much detail, so if you need more please let us know.

I've never installed FreeBSD on a Win95 box, I was just echoing what I'd gathered from hanging out on the mailing list. I may be able to help you, but you probably have a better chance asking the list, where there are people who've done it and have a better grasp of the issues involved. I take it you've read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html ? Hmm, a quick look doesn't find any Win95 specific info there.

Are there two bootable partitions on this disk? If not, boot a DOS floppy and run 'fdisk /mbr' and don't even bother with Booteasy. If there is, you'll need to start over, this time making a small DOS partition and erasing it in FreeBSD's install.

Normally it wants cylinders, but I believe you can cheat and put in megabyte values IF AND ONLY IF you immediately follow the value with "MB", ie "400MB" in caps. Could be wrong, tho....

The sort of hardware you changed will not cause sig10's and sig11's, except for the MB and memory. It's not in the disk subsystem. 1. Did you get a new external processor cache module? 2. Did you get new, tested memory AT THE RIGHT SPEED and from the SAME MANUFACTURER? 3.

If the "free space" mentioned above is in unallocated partition space, then you won't need to.

I solved the above problem. Thanks for all those responded. When I booted using a boot floppy, I have a chance to customise the kernel so the correct base address can be passed. I didn't get this chance if I booted from DOS though. Another problem I posed earlier is about booting win95, Linux and freebsd installed on 3 different disks. I can use a boot floppy to boot linux, can I do he same with freebsd? -- Billy C.-M.

Try banging on the ctrl key. When switching from X to the console with cntl-alt-Fn, the control key gets stuck down. Tapping it releases the lock.

If you are installing to a second disk, you must install BootEasy manually to the first disk. Install glitch. You'll have to boot DOS or use the 'lock' command, but just copy 'bootinst.exe' and boot.bin off the CD to the hard disk and run bootinst and you should be good.

WinNT gets its partition ("slice" in BSD terminology) and FreeBSD gets its slice, and you use a boot manager -- you can use the free one that comes with FreeBSD, or you can add FreeBSD to NT's boot manager (instructions for this are in the FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org).

Well, ftp.cdrom.com, a P200 with 512MB+ of RAM, can take 1200 simultaneous ftp users on multiple T3s, and the limiting factor is the outbound pipe, not the speed of the system. :) Your machine should work quite nicely, although I might be ready to throw in another 256mb if you got busy.

Is this on a dedicated disk, or are there other bootable OSs there? If yes: The geometry was misdetected. (not likely) If no: Why are you running booteasy? You don't need it if you only have one disk. If you do need it though, reinstall FreeBSD, but this time make a small DOS partition on the disk, delete it, and install FreeBSD over it.

I'd say the huge size is the perfect reason to put the sources on a CD! OK, I accept there may not be space to fit them on the either of the FreeBSD Disks, but I, and most people out side the US wouldn't mind paying an extra $5 or so for a third CD in the release, with the appropriate XFree86 sources. Why is this, you may ask? In Europe we pay for telephone calls (even local ones) by time units, rather than a flat connection rate. Even the cheapest rate in the UK is GBP 2 ($3) per hour. At an optimistic 5MB/hour for my 14.4kb modem it would cost me $24 to download the sources, assuming no failures. I guess this is an idea to put to Walnut Creek or perhaps they better take the "complete sources" text off the CDROM packaging...;-) Tim From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 29 02:33:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA23512 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 02:33:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA23506 for ; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 02:33:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id CAA03494; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 02:33:12 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 29 Jan 1997 02:33:12 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: Doug White cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: strange sudo behavior 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 Tue, 28 Jan 1997, Doug White wrote: > On Sun, 19 Jan 1997, Snob Art Genre wrote: > > > for a while I used sudo 1.4 on 2.1.5 without problems; however, at > > some point it began behaving strangely.

I know. > Just subscribe to > questions@freebsd.org for an endless supply. I am. And I keep seeing things like "How do I use a ZIP disk?" come up. And I kept thinking "Why doesn't someone put this in the FAQ?". And then I thought "Hell, I'll write it, and submit it to the FAQ guys." And then I thought "I want to make this as easy as possible for them, what format would make it simplest to import the information straight into the FAQ?" -- since, as we all know, the easier it is to do, the more likely it is to happen. Then it occured to me that what would be simplest would be something akin to send-pr, but for FAQs. A lot of the time I (and anyone else) could then see a well written reply to a question in -questions (or elsewhere), fire up an xterm with 'send-faq', fill out a template, pass on the answer (with appropriate attribution) and have it go straight to the people concerned, in a format that's simple to import into the main FAQ. Link it with GNATS and you could probably stick a web interface on it, both so that people could submit FAQ entries over the web, and, perhaps more importantly, they could view entries to the FAQ that had been submitted but that hadn't been added yet. So even if the FAQ maintainers get behind (no slur on their efforts intended, we all have lives in the real world, however well we try to hide it) the FAQ maintains it's usefulness. Given that the FreeBSD core already use send-pr and GNATS, I'm guessing this would be fairly trivial to implement. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to implement it -- I don't know how the FAQs maintained (but I'm willing to learn) and I know next to nothing about the intricacies of GNATS). What I would do is use this service to submit FAQs and help ensure that gems of information posted to the mailing list are saved somewhere, and not lost in the mass of signal and noise. > What would be useful is to provide a mechanism for people who ask > such questions can easily summarize the *answers* they got and > submit them for review. That too. But this would be a spin off from the above. Thoughts?

However, when I try and force X to start up in a higher resolution (either with the -bpp option or by adding a DefaultColorDepth line in XF86Config), it refuses to start up and dies with a message along the lines that my chipset does not support that color depth. Has anyone run into this problem before, and (even better) worked out how to solve it? I can provide more detailed information on my setup and exactly what the various things aretelling me if required. Also, I've never been able to get XF86_W32 to start properly on me (I'm using XF86_SVGA), even though as far as I can tell my chipset is supported. The server will switch to graphics mode and appears to flip around between some different modes (characteristic "switching" noises from the monitor), then after a few seconds the monitor powers down and won't turn back on until I reboot.

At the same time I have used many versions of Linux on the same two machines, so I suspect that my ignorance is not the only problem. I have a Pentium Gateway with hardware that claims to be supported by FreeBSD, except for IDE CDROM, so I try to install from a DOS partition. Booting from the installation boot disk I eliminated all the drivers for devices I don't have and needed to correct only the parameters for my SMC ethernet card, which I don't think is important for installation anyway. I created a 600M primary DOS partition and copied all the files from CDROM there. The installation process went partially through but stopped at the following screen: [Progress] Extracting slib into /usr/src directory... 25% 290816 bytes read from slib dist, chunk 2 of 8@3.1 KB/sec I tried the whole thing again and exactly the same thing happened again. I was trying to install the 207 Meg I think developers version. In the past I experienced crashes during installation of early SLS Linux distributions and later while trying to install Red Hat Linux Picasso version. In both cases it turned out not to be an operator error, but faulty distribution. They were however crashing at random times during attempted installation. FreeBSD crashed twice at exactly the same screen! FreeBSD detected the same parameters of my 1.6G Western Digital IDE HD as are listed on the drive itself: 3148 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sectors. I would appreciated any clues on what might be causing this behaviour.

(this is more important than #1) Move the .overview files out of the /var/spool/news hierarchy. [snip] Why does doing all this speed up overchan? overchan works by opening the proper ".overview" file, appending 1 line to it, then closing the file. If you have the ".overview" file in the same directory as 10000 articles then opening the ".overview" file will take a huge amount of time. The open() call literally searches though about 5000 (half of 10000) file names to find ".overview". If you move your ".overview" files so that each one is in it's own directory, (say, /usr/spool/news/over.view/{group}/{name}/.overview) then open() is searching through 3 files ( ".", "..", and ".overview") to find 1 file. ( O(N/2) where N=10000 vs. N=3... and you thought those first year CS classes would never be useful!)

So i didn't think it was too big a leap to infer that it should be working in the current kernel. you tell me. does anybody beside me care if it works? i'm willing to do a wee bit of fiddling if that helps. for the record, BSD LPIP seems to at least halfway work, if i start an install. (got a few odd error messages though). Mark Blackman Met. Dept.

Let me demonstrate by an example: from 207.141.254.20: lynx www.sarc.msstate.edu The connection will be immediate, but it will be 2 minutes before any data is transferred back. telnet/ftp will send the prompt back immediately (we're only 7 hops apart afterall). from outside of 207.141.254.: lynx www.sarc.msstate.edu no slowness problem. from 207.141.254.20: ftp ftp.netbsd.org 10 seconds until the first prompt. from outside of 207.141.254.: ftp ftp.netbsd.org 3 seconds. See the pattern here? Note that this applies to all 207.141.254. machines. Can somebody tell me where to even start tracking down the problem? If it's a reverse DNS lookup problem, is there any utilities/commands that I can run to verify? My provider is handling my primary DNS, by the way. Thanks!

I have changed IP numbers from one number to another in /etc/exports, to allow a different host to read/write from my machine. Restarted nfsd with a kill -HUP, and tried to mount the volume. I got "permission denied" message. Then tried showmount, and it turned out, that nfsd still uses the old IP numbers. I thought that, a with a reboot, it will be OK. But when I issued the showmount command, it still displayed the old IP numbers. Then I tried to mount from that machine with no succes. Does anyone has any explonation for this strange behaviour?

I didn't try the curses interface other than to see if it came up. The X11 interface seems to work, although there is no interface to display data. When I looked at ddd, it seemed to be more complete. You might want to consider it instead. Good luck.

Feel free to trim responses to the most appropriate group, I am subscribed to both.] Howdy, :) I have been doing some research on the security of various *nix's, and found some very interesting discussion in the mail archives regarding the security of freebsd vs. a sequence number guessing IP spoof attack. Without rehashing what seemed to be a rather heated discussion last spring, I am wondering if someone could fill me in on any changes, improvements, etc. that have been made in 2.2 regarding this problem. Also, if someone could highlight the changes regarding security against syn flooding promised in 2.2, it would help. Of course, if this information is already available on line, a pointer to it would be appreciated. And speaking of security, I am looking for information on the relative usefulness and efficiency of tcp wrappers vs. Darren Reed's IP filtering. I've read all I can find on both (including downloading the IP filter package), and I'm still a bit confused about how much overhead either will add to my system. It looks like I'll be going with Darren's stuff because I need to filter access to ircd, and as far as I can tell the wrappers won't hook it. Any information or pointers to more detailed documentation would be appreciated.

I have a dynamic ip, now i enabled IP forwarding/gatewaying, and the box dosent forward ICMP, TCP,or UDP packets to the ppp interface via the net card. It worked fine with linux, and i cant understand why its not working. Also, when i ping a host on the net, i see the SendData modem light light up, but the receive data stays dark. prehaps the packets can't find their way back?? i used imaginery ip address' for my internal lan(6.6.6.2-6.6.6.5). The gateway is 6.6.6.1 on the net card (WD8003) and the ppp0 interface is assigned a number dynamicly. I have on all the suns the default route set to 6.6.6.1 and the default route on the gateway(6.6.6.1) set to the far end of the ppp link. now i can access the entire internet through freebsd, but my lan cant. any help?? thanks, pat From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 29 14:36:21 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA26611 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 14:36:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from tiac.net (pmcandre@Nashua-ppp2.Empire.Net [205.164.80.102]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA26596 for ; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 14:36:16 -0800 (PST) Received: (from pmcandre@localhost) by tiac.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA00289 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 26 Jan 1997 22:39:22 -0500 From: patrick mcandrew Message-Id: <199701270339.WAA00289@tiac.net> Subject: Strange Error To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 26 Jan 1997 22:39:22 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I recently picked up the following config: amd 5x86 133mhz with 16mb of ram, 1.6gig EIDE HD, ATAPI CDROM,etc. your basic run-of-the-mill PC.

Both my ISP and I got ip % addresses randomly. To do automatic routing, I use Ip style as follows % in ppp.conf and ppp.linkup. % % ifconfig 203.70.2.66/24 203.70.2.4/24 in ppp.conf ^^^^^^^^ I hope you meant 'set ifaddr' there. Doug White replied: > Are you sure you want to hardwire this? Yes, often you do. The reason is that you want the tunnel device to have a recognizable address before the link is ever brought up so you can make it demand dial. In the above scenario, the tun device gets assigned address 203.70.2.66 -> 203.70.2.4, but will accept 203.x.x.x upon connect. This allows you to enter a default address via 203.70.2.66 allowing PPP to autodial as soon as any packet attempts to go offsite. In order to enable this, immediately after the you also want to add the default route *in ppp.conf*. I.e.: set ifaddr 203.70.2.66/24 203.70.2.4/24 in ppp.conf add 0 0 203.70.2.4 % add 0 0 203.70.2.4/24 in ppp.linkup > Change this to 'add 0 0 HISADDR' and it should work better. > (HISADDR==other side's IP address, MYADDR=IP address assigned to > your/local side) Exactly. You want to add the default route via whatever the newly assigned address is *when the link comes up.* PPP conveniently assigns this to the variable HISADDR for you. You probably want to delete the route first, i.e. ppp.linkup contains: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR to avoid getting errors about the route already existing. I've answered this same question several times recently. I just searched the archives for 'softweyr AND HISADDR' and got seven hits in the last two months. Can't we get this on the FAQ and stop repeating myself so often? ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Eric (and others), For the past month I have been trying to get 128k out of a BitsurferPro connection to a Livingston with a 5 port BRI, and have only been successful with 64k channel. Brian Litzinger's suggestion does not dial for me. The addition of "%A2=95" actually makes the modem hang until the power is flushed. (?) I am using the Internal, ISA BitsurferPro with user ppp, FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. I can move to current if anyone feels that it would help. After many confilicting conversations with Motorola ISG support I am beginning to feel out of luck. It seems that the ISA BitsurferPro needs two IRQs and should act as two devices. The default for the COM is IRQ4 (COM1), but no-one at Motorola will confess to a default IRQ for the programmed I/O. In fact they tell me that it is all win95-plugNpray without the DOS CARDSETUP utility executed from AUTOEXEC.BAT... (Is a jumpered card too old fashioned?) They do not support UNIX for the ISA Bitsurfer. Right now, I think that if I could >>by an act of God<< get the second IRQ programmed I may be able to use "mpd" to establish Multilink PPP. (written by the most helpful Archie Cobbs @whistle.com). So I must ask ... Were you using an ISA card? Did you get 128k? Perhaps I should get an external adapter and start again? I'm awfully young for paling hair color.

It has been a valuable exercise for me. While the Annex would seem to be fine for internal work, and has been ok up until the recent advancements in software from various vendors, it now seems that it has reached its limits in the Internet world. This it seems is due in large part to the policies of the Annex manufacturers. If the thing cant be upgraded, at least for nominal cost, then it may as well be a small boat anchor. I certainly wont be buying another one. The probelm is compounded down under. The US company doesn't want to know about anyone outside North America, specifically the US, and the Australian company, and distributors simply don't reply to email, and plead insanity when called direct! The usual "We'll look into it and get back to you" So, does anyone know of a _good_ annex type device that will do the same job? 8 port, Rj45, Ethernet-UTP and can handle auto-dialing to connect to the provider, .....and most of all :-) speaks rfc1323.

Great. Thanks for the hints from the kind souls who responded to my pleas. I notice that using rdump from the pentium, to the 486 where the tape is, I get throughput of 95KBytes/Sec. Yet on the 486 itself, the throughput is a miserable 20 KBytes/Sec. The result is of course that the rdump from the pentium Streams in to the tape, fast. No hesitation on the part of the tape at all. On the 486, the tape shoe-shines away for literally hours and HOURS. I think the soultion will be to run up a 586-100 and put the tape in that,and rdump all systems to it? Unless there is a way to make the 486 Stream.... instead of shoe-shine. any clues anyone.? Just coincidentally, The Archive Viper-150MB tape actually dumps and restores to 525MB tapes, and 250's for that matter just fine. Interesting. bob -- chalmers.com.au: P.O. Box 2003.

At this point, hit ALT-F2 and record what you see. How long do you give it before you consider it trashed? It could be hanging up on a big piece of source. This is extracting all of the sources for FreeBSD -- is this what you really want? You might try installing something more basic, like 'user' or custom-selecting the distributions to get what you want. If this is a first-time install, ry clean-installing, deleting the FreeBSD slice with FDISK and starting completely from scratch. If this is an upgrade, then you're going the wrong way; use the 'upgrade' option instead.

FreeBSD is out of reach of most boot managers, so you'll have to do it manually unless you can get a better one (such as the one in OS/2 or Partition Magic 3.0, System Commander, etc...). In the meantime, you can boot by typing wd(3,a)/kernel At the Boot: prompt.

Your comments, while interesting, are, I believe, misguided and not constructive. If I'm the only individual who thinks the Owl's Eye Productions maintainers are misleading the public and using FreeBSD to help them do that, then it would be somewhat surprising and unfortunate, but I'll likely be able to live with that. The facts are as follows: An organization called Owl's Eye Productions, Inc. maintains a one-page Web site at http://www.owlsnest.com on which three items are presented. The name of the organization, a sham (i.e. non-existent) email address mailto link, webmaster@owlsnest.com" and a bright graphic in the center of the page promoting and linking to FreeBSD. No other links or contact information is offered. Owls' Eye Productions has sent untold numbers of unsolicited emails offering a URL placement service and has crossed far over the line, in my view, by stating that by replying to the email (return address: owlseye@owlsnest.com) the respondant is authorizing Owl's Eye Productions to begin the placement service and charge a fee. It's not standard "spam". I thought it might be of value for individuals who have an interest in FreeBSD to know that their interests are being associated with the less than ethical practices of Owl's Eye Productions and hoped that they might welcome having the opportunity to decide what they would like to do about it, if anything. I cannot understand why you would wish to berate me for merely providing the information about it. My computer does not crash, nor does my awareness that retaliation might be a consequence when communicating with the sort of people who send unsolicited email messages with unethical schemes and traps in them. My preference to remain as anonymous as possible to notify them and interested parties at FreeBSD, will, I hope, be viewed by objective and thoughtful individuals as reasonable and not unethical in any way. The statements I have made can be independently verified and I have no wish to convince anyone to send me money or to do anything at all except consider what is in their own best interests. There is no need to reply to me. If you like, have a look at www.owlsnest.com, try to send an email using the mailto link on the page, or if you want to risk being thought to have authorized them to perform fee-based services for you, send them an email at owlseye@owlsnest.com. If you think others who receive their umail might unfairly associate them with FreeBSD, then you can contact the developers or distributors of FreeBSD, if you like. My contribution time now has been expended.

The point is made for filesystems in general. While FreeBSD's buffer cache may help you a little bit, the theory applies to any filesystem, DOS, UNIX, you name it. By putting it on a separate disk, the operation can happen concurrently with another operation and doesn't have to wait for the disk to physically seek to the location. The same theory applies to why you spread news spools across disks.

With iijppp (on 2.2) you need to use the -alias option. With kernel-mode ppp (pppd) you need to add the 'proxyarp' directive to your configuration.

That may work, but again it does depend on the block size.

I've been using user PPP without problems for months. I've built a kernel with ppp support and taken out tunnel support. I've created scripts to dial out to my ISP and hang up when I'm done, and this all seems to work. I'm having a little problem in that after a few minutes of running I lose all routes to the outside and have to re-boot. This is repeatable and happens every time I try to use kernel PPP to dial out to my ISP. I' wondering if I've missed something in setting this all up. What else do I need to do to properly configure the machine. It's a stand-alone 3.0-Current/SMP machine.

I, on the other hand, hear time and again from die-hard unix junkies about how GUI applications are crap, illustrated with crappy Win applications. These days, most especially illustrated with examples of the awful abuses of dialogs as they relate to WinNT administration, but that is probably due to my past experience in doing the same for UNIX. > I agree that word processing is an important application in the > desktop computing world, but that is tangential to the main point > I've been trying to express which is how the lack of a good GUI > *infrastructure* inhibits the development of a useful GUI > applications.

And again I disagree, I feel that the overbearing insistence on one style in the Windows world inhibits development of useful GUIs that express complex tasks in new and meaningful ways. Everyone on the planet wants to make their application look EXACTLY like Word 7, whether its a word processor, a user administration tool, or a control system for a nuclear power plant. This is madness, but nobody in the PC world is willing to step up and say so. I've probably only seen 3 or 4 applications in the past 5 years that have actually delighted me to see. Not a single one of them has been on the Windows platform. People tell me over and over again that Win3, then MDI, then 3D controls, are going to revolutionize user interfaces, but I haven't seen any substantive improvements in Windows since they dropped the bad tiling scheme in 2.0. The Windows user interface environment is stifling and ridiculous. One of these 3 or 4 applications, however, does run on X. It is even publicly available, as all good X applications are. This is XV. I know you're going to hate it, because it doesn't use Win-standard scrollbars, but it is a great example of a beautifully crafted UI. One of the other applications was one I worked on, for a government training system, on an SGI workstation. It was pleasing because it was so application specific; the only "system" knowlege required of the user was the ability to login from the SGI graphical login screen. This was a very graphical system using complicated 3d plots on top of aeronautical charts, and we spent quite a bit of time working with the users of the system in their facility to get this right. In the end, we did work that I am proud of, but the user interface would completely escape anyone who was not familiar with the application domain. If you want to see an example of what I'm talking about, stop beating blatherings into your keyboard and go get a demo of CA-Unicenter. Look at their geographical or organizational views, and the automatic drill-down capability. Compare that to the idiotic bullshit administration screens offered to the hapless administrator of a WinNT system. Now tell me about how the scrollbars in Unicenter don't look like every other scrollbar you've ever seen. My previous employer who would have been a competitor to Unicenter explicitly decided to opt for a 'Microsoft-like' GUI and basically dropped off the radar screen in terms of competing with CA. Of course, I'm sure they'd be glad to hire you as a manager, you're singing their song and they've either fired or killed off the last 3 or 4 they've had. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

What you really want to do is make user mode PPP demand dialing work, and then run sendmail and fetchmail in a cron job.

Are you getting a single B channel UP with the ISA BitsurferPro? If so, I'll look into the problem. When I talk with Motorola about the ISA BitsurferPro, it seemed they didn't care about anything except Windows95. Didn't RCA basically invent television and the government anti-trust them out of their lock on the market? Where are those people today?

Somewhere I read that USR has an internal unit that acts like an ethernet card. Just haven't figured out which model it is, or how you program the ISDN specific info into it.

The setup is as follows: Local Net FreeBSD Box /w 2 ifaces "Backbone" 132.252.170.128/28 --- 132.252.170.129 132.252.170.242 -- 132.252.170.240/28 I call the 240/28 net backbone because there are mostly other routers connected routing to other /28 subnets and to the internet. When gated starts up, it promotes the 128/28 route correctly. After 3 minutes it reports an if_rtdown on the 129, promotes the 128/28 net as inaccessible to the backbone for a while and then stops sending RIP packets to the BB. But: 1. The interface works ! Every other host on the 128 net talks to that box via that interface w/o problems 2. routed announces the route always and correct. It does as well announce a route to the 240/28 via the same 240/28 renundantly but... 3. when we use an additional router between the 2 nets, gated behaves perfectly well You might say: just use routed then. But routed doesnt propagate ppp links here is my /etc/gated.conf # trace options traceoptions "/var/tmp/gated.output" replace size 100k files 2 general ; rip yes { interface de0 ripin ripout ; interface de1 ripin ripout ; interface tun noripout noripin ; traceoptions all ; } ; kernel { traceoptions remnants request routes info interface ; } ; export proto rip interface de1 { proto direct { 132.252.170.128 mask 255.255.255.240 metric 1 ; } ; } ; import proto rip interface de1 { all ; } ; import proto rip interface de0 { all ; } ; # eo gated.conf Any ideas?

I finally got desperate when FreeBSD 2.1.6 wouldn't recognize my hard disk OR the CD-ROM (would ID the CD-ROM and the SCSI ctrlr) and kept giving me this message. I finally figured out that "msdos" is not the same file-system configuration as Win95 uses... Are you using Win95? I fixed this by doing what I was going to do anyway and eliminating Win95 from my disk, setting up DOS (only) 5.0; then doing the 2.1.6 install from DOS. Worked perfectly.

I have 2.2-960801-SNAP running on a Lattitude XPi-P100SD. Works great with a couple of minor problems. I managed to get the PC-Card support mostly working (the out-of-the box support, I didn't get PAO). The laptop came with a Dell (really 3com) ethernet and Dell (really Megahertz) modem. I can't plug them both in at the same time. For example, pccardd reports "driver allocation failed for Megahertz" if I plug in the modem while the ethernet is installed. I haven't investigated why to any great extent since I generally don't need them both at the same time. It could very well be an operator configuration error. I can't suspend the thing with a PC-Card installed. Guaranteed lockup. This fact is documented, so I wasn't surprised. This machine has an 800x600 display, but it is using the Neomagic display chip which XFree86 does not support. The result is that I can run X only with the VGA16 driver (giving 4 bit planes). In addition, XFree86 doesn't know how to get the chip to 800x600 mode. I had to change the boot code to make a BIOS call to change to 800x600 mode. Since the console code doesn't understand 800x600 mode, I then don't have a console. I pretend it's a security feature--if someone wants to boot it single-user he or she will have to type blind because the console won't work. I tried the XInside X server demo and it worked fine with 8 planes (modulo a bug in the acceleration code that left occasional small bits of garbage on the screen) and also properly switched modes so that the console worked. I will probably buy the XInside server.

Has anyone successfully used Kerberos over a user ppp connection? In my particular case, the request for a ticket is sent but nothing ever returns. Watching the traffic on the ppp server side, I can see the request going to the kerberos server but the response is never returned. The interesting part is with kernel ppp everything is fine - the request is sent and a response is returned. The failure of user ppp in this case is troublesome. User ppp appears to be mucking something up which makes the kerberos server send the response to the wrong place or ignore the request. If user ppp is mucking around with this type of packet how many other types is it mutating? In all fairness, this is the first trouble that I have had with user ppp. As for switching to kernel ppp, FreeBSD's kernel ppp does not appear to support compression as well as user ppp. NetBSD's kernel ppp is very nice in this regard... perhaps some of NetBSD's additions could be migrated to FreeBSD.

I have been running 2.1.0 troublefree for months and wanted to get it to recognize my soundblaster card. Apparently, I should have merely done "MAKEDEV snd0", but I decided to build a new kernel in the process to tidy things up. Following chapter 10 in Inst & Running FreeBSD I got confused at the MAKEDEV section and did a "MAKEDEV all", which I think I will regret. I wasn't worried when I rebooted to try the new kernel since the book says "don't panic" if your new kernel doesn't work, just reboot with kernel.old. Well, here's what I'm getting... (I'm booting from drive 1 of an Ultrastor SCCSI controller) /dev/sd1s1b no such file or directory .. /dev/sd1s1f no such file or directory Can't stat /dev/sd1s1f Automatic file system check failed! Unfortunately, this state puts me into a read-only file system, from which I can't even see /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL and wouldn't be able to fix it anyway. kernel.old produces the same results. Why is the system looking for sd1s1b and sd1s1f ?

To clarify: this is -- at the moment -- only an ethernet-ethernet bridge using "ed"-type boards. Full sources and a precompiled executable are available from my home page http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ Since it is based on netboot, once a card is supported in netboot it will get into the bridge code in next to 0 time. I tried myself to hack the "de" driver but did not complete the work.

I tried to run emacs and I have this error message: ld.so.failed: Can't find shared library "libXmu.so.6.0" I have had same experience with freeBSD 2.1.5R before and somebody pointed out that the X-windows (libraries) must also be installed to run emacs. I thought, I already installed at least the library portion of X distribution but I still have the same problem. My question and comment: 1. I did a find for the library file and found it under /compat/linux something. If the file exists on the tree, why emacs can't find it? Is there another directory structure where I suppose to copy this library file? 2. Since the default pre-compiled emacs binaries require some X-library files, I feel it is a major bug in freeBSD installation for neither warned the user that emacs needs X library to run, nor including the needed library by default into emacs package. I learned the lesson the hardway, twice. 4. I feel relieved to find that most packages for 2.1.6R do exist. The 2.1.5R CD is almost a total annoyance when it comes to included packages. Yet, I retain my 2.1.5R CD coz I want to support this great ongoing project. I have a complete set of freeBSD CDs since 2.0 5. Two minor griefs: freeBSD 2.1.6R still comes with Apache 1.0.5 and Pine 3.91. I thought the two are buggy and obsolete already. -jeff- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 30 12:36:29 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA29590 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 12:36:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from luke.cpl.net (root@[206.85.245.131]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA29584 for ; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 12:36:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA02001; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 12:36:07 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 30 Jan 1997 12:36:07 -0800 (PST) From: Shawn Ramsey To: Dave Bodenstab cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: pdf?

I suggested this because I did this same thing not long ago. But it was not on a scsi drive. In the shell I went to /dev and just ran the sh MAKDEV wd1s1e (I think for my ide drive)... It made all the necessary files, but then it choked and said it could not find the chown program. I halted and rebooted anyway, but things seem to work fine. You might want to try a similar thing on your scsi drive. I don't think you need any special permissions to do that.

Yes, I also tried: sh MAKEDEV snd0, but that did not solve the mixer error. Apparently, the code seems to not detect a mixer (although I know one does exist) because typing mixer gets the device not configured error. I looked into the mixer code and I might be able to bluff it by skipping the mixer detection and making it the SoundBlaster Pro mixer by default. But even if that works, it will only be 8 bit sound instead of 16 bit MSS. But oh well...

If I reboot by the 3 finger salute or the system reset button, the sound card gets reset. This is sort of an old question because I have seen it float by the mailing list. I tried use fbsdboot.exe and a kernel in DOS, but that only boots up FreeBSD up to the part before mounting the hard drives. At that point the OS panics because it can not mount the drive (which is on D). I don't believe fbsdboot.exe would have that problem if the boot drive was C.

I want to ask some questions about FreeBSD. I am new to this operating system. I already have it (not yet installed). 1. Is FreeBSD a Unix-based Operating System? If it is.. a. For what is Unix specially designed (Networking? Internet?)? 2. What is the difference between the X Consortium's X-Window and XFree86 (not including that XFree86 is a portation to the PC)? 3. Where can I get Unix SYSTEM V Release 4 (or higher)? This doesn't mean that I am not interested in your operating system. 4. Is FreeBSD the same as BSD/386? If it isn't... a. Is it compatible? TECHNICAL QUESTIONS 1. Do the bin (bin.xx) files include the whole operating system, or just the kernel? Do they include XFree86? 2. When I installed (or tried to) FreeBSD, as I already have another operating system installed (non-Unix), I had to divide my partition with the FIPS program. When I had already created the FreeBSD partition (with 'Novice' installation), and I was already at the beginning of the real installation (where I am asked if I am sure that I want to continue), I put OK, and the machine said that the 'usr/' and 'var/' were not found. The description I gve may be more or less correct. I couln't get an exact definition of the problem, since I would have to go through all the installation again. What could have happened here? How can I fix this without destroying the information in my first partition? (I use a floppy installation - with 12 disks of bin.xx files and one installation disk - FreeBSD Release 2.1.6). 3. Is it impossible to merge the partition I created (after an unsuccessful installation) with the first partition (the one that contains all my data)? 4. Won't I have to buy a new hard disk for FreeBSD? Please, I hope you answer my questions. It is very (I mean VERY) difficult to find any information about Unix-based OS. I will thank you for the help.

However, GhostScript doesn't want to handle the PostScript it spits out. I don't know if its truly invalid PostScript or just that GhostScript doesn't grok it. GhostScript's understanding it is a big deal to me as I print PostScript on my LJ4P (w/o PostScript SIMM) via GhostScript. With the decryption specs now publicly available, hopefully someone will write a encrypted-to-unencrypted PDF conversion utility. I'd certainly be interested in that. Also, in case you're interested here's more on the xpdf deal. Recently swapped mail with the author and with Adobe for for more on the decryption issue, he pointed me to his Decryption link off of the XPDF home page: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/usr/dn0o/xpdf/xpdf.html Allegedly Adobe made the decryption specs public a couple months ago, but since PDF uses RSA RC4, he's hesitant to add any support due to export restrictions. From what Dave Bodenstab pointed out, it seems Ghostscript's in the same boat but facing the other direction. Response from Adobe attached below FYI.

I usually use the system as user pb with group=wheel. Pkg_add aborted )I thought because some dependencies weren't there. I pkg_add ed the ones in the message, the re pkg_add ed Mosaic. It said "already installed", so I pkg_delete ed Mosaic. It said "not installed", so I pkg_add ed Mosaic again, and it said "already installed". What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

They need to be in their own partition type, not a DOS partition. You will need to split off some space or delete one of your DOS partitions to make room for FreeBSD. The OS/2 Boot Manager can boot FreeBSD fine, btw; I have it here.

Yes, there is a SMP version of FreeBSD. http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/ For video streaming, I bet you could get away with a P200 (or even 166) and a PCI video card and get decent frame rates.

Wrong. If you are sneaky you can disable it. Either hack the Makefile and remove the define for xwindows or I think you can pass --without-x to the configure command line to quiet it.

I thought the two are buggy and obsolete already. Then install the one you want. For pine, use the 'netbsd' target and don't build in the mouse stuff (it doesn't work anyway). ports-current on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ may have a newer apache; otherwise I bet it builds out of the box.

Well, you need to pick a port that has something on it. See the tcpblast man page before you go blasting things. And blasting localhost is going to give you an insanely high number since it goes through lo0 instead of the network interface.

I'm currently accessing my ISP with a 28.8Kbps modem. pppd in itself, being a kernel process, is faster than iijppp. But it's a bit less flexible and not easy to config. There are instructions in the Handbook and I can refer you to an associate of mine who has a very nice pppd configuration, including unattended outbound connections.

Running it over a disk gives the offset of possible former FS starting blocks. You can then dd skip=... if=/dev/rwd0a of=part1 coun=... and make a /dev/vn0 of that file. This requires to have the disk attached to another system where upi have plenty of space and would be difficult to do with a fixit.flp. If you want I can sent you this little program.

Yes, the device gets probed correctly, port 0x230, the works. But when running something like xcd, it says device not present.

Does it work for data, or is the problem for both sound and data? Also, the address you specified must be for the sound card, not the CD. The CD doesn't have an address. It should read something like: scully: {151} dmesg | grep wcd wcd0: 0Kb/sec, 240Kb cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked > > > > I also have a PNP SB16 audio card.

I don't have a sound card, sorry. As for the boot from the DOS shell, I don't know of any because I don't need it. It doesn't mean there is none though.

Hecker[SMTP:bebest@es.com.sv] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 1997 10:31 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Questions (technical and non-technical) 1. Is FreeBSD a Unix-based Operating System? Yes. It is derived from the 4.4BSD-Lite distribution and runs on i386/pc98 machines a. For what is Unix specially designed (Networking? Internet?)? Unix is specially designed to be a timesharing operating system without much overhead. Aside from that, unix has been extended in many ways to provide excellent networking features. 2. What is the difference between the X Consortium's X-Window and XFree86 (not including that XFree86 is a portation to the PC)? XFree86 is merely an xserver that should run on most i386 machines. Aside from that, XF86's distribution includes the standard X. 3. Where can I get Unix SYSTEM V Release 4 (or higher)? This doesn't mean that I am not interested in your operating system. Look into the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), or Sun Microsystems (Solaris 2.5), or OSF. FreeBSD also supports pretty well the running of SCO binaries with an emulation package. In fact, in some cases, FreeBSD has actually been more compatible with SCO binaries than SCO. 4. Is FreeBSD the same as BSD/386? FreeBSD is more recent than 386BSD, and is not the same. It is, however, similar. There are three similar BSD-derived free operating systems, and they are NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. If it isn't... a. Is it compatible? There is a compatibility package, yes. TECHNICAL QUESTIONS 1. Do the bin (bin.xx) files include the whole operating system, or just the kernel? Do they include XFree86? The bin xx files include a variety of minimally necessary files to run FreeBSD, excepting a few other packages. For starting out, we strongly recommend installing FreeBSD from a cdrom or FTP, and using one of the pre-defined install sets. 2. When I installed (or tried to) FreeBSD, as I already have another operating system installed (non-Unix), I had to divide my partition with the FIPS program. When I had already created the FreeBSD partition (with 'Novice' installation), and I was already at the beginning of the real installation (where I am asked if I am sure that I want to continue), I put OK, and the machine said that the 'usr/' and 'var/' were not found. The description I gve may be more or less correct. I couln't get an exact definition of the problem, since I would have to go through all the installation again. What could have happened here? How can I fix this without destroying the information in my first partition? (I use a floppy installation - with 12 disks of bin.xx files and one installation disk - FreeBSD Release 2.1.6). For the most part, a single-user system can make it pretty well using one partition for the entire system. But for anything more than a small system, we recommend dividing the partitions out and mounting them as /usr, /var, /rmp, etc in varying sizes depending on whether or not the machine will be a server, etc. 3. Is it impossible to merge the partition I created (after an unsuccessful installation) with the first partition (the one that contains all my data)? There is a program called: Partition Magic. It should work. I don't know the price. 4. Won't I have to buy a new hard disk for FreeBSD? No, not necessarily. You will need approximately 200MB of space to get the system up and running well. Please, I hope you answer my questions. It is very (I mean VERY) difficult to find any information about Unix-based OS. I will thank you for the help. This information may even help other users.

It's an odd model of interaction. For your telnetting users to use X, they must locally run an X server -- a display driver, basically. The display is consumed by X clients: the applications that require X, which can be run locally (on their machines) or remotely (on yours).

The NT boot loader doesn't reside in the MBR. You could have just used the DOS fdisk with the undocumented /MBR option to restore the standard boot block. Set NT to the active partition then use the NT utility bootpart (available at ftp.cdrom.com in the NT disk area), or follow the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook. -- The air!

All you need to do is re-install booteasy or OSBS. Do it from a DOS floppy however because Win95 "protects" the MBR from viruses.

Or even better, not to include sendmail at all :-) but to instead grab the current version, and "sh makesendmail", and then merely bring in the FreeBSD sample config files? It seems that nearly every single version of Sendmail that's been released, was due to a security flaw that could lead to root access..

Well, in terms of applications, it runs SCO binaries better than SCO does, under emulation. It also runs BSD/OS bins as native. In terms of files, FreeBSD's filesystem is also used by at least Solaris, I'm not sure who else. Linux can read it but not write it. > Sincerely, > Igor Barani > Ben The views expressed above are not those of the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland, Australia.

It uses a core template called 'imake.tmpl' that is installed with the XF32prog distribution. Install that and you should be OK. I don't understand why it's not finding it, it works just fine on my machine. It doesn't matter if it's in the path or not, the path is not searched for Imake. Try adding the '-I/path/to/directory-with-imake.tmpl' to your makefiles if it's having trouble finding it. See the imake man page's I option.

Geometry is not your problem. Boot using a DOS disk, run FDISK and select a partition on your first disk and make it active. If this is the second disk in the system, then install BootEasy on the first disk (run bootinst.exe from /tools) or use the boot floppy with a command like wd(1,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt.

If you consistently run with 70% swap, you might consider buying a new disk and adding some swap to it along with new filesystem space. Or backing everything up and re-disklabeling.

Everything seems to work right except for the Real Audio player :-( The Real Audio player can play its own welcome.ra perfectly, but when it tries to play anything from the net, I hear 2 sounds like "rips" and then I get error #50 about being unable to open the audio device. It does say "buffering", so I don't think it is a net problem. Anyone have any ideas on this one? I can still open welcome.ra and play the demo without any problems, so I guess this one is a RA bug. Anyone else using MSS/WSS emulation? BTW s3mod is quite good. I'm surprised. There's sound now and FreeBSD no longer reboots. For the record (and those who read the mailing list archives)... I am using MSS/WSS mode with FreeBSD 2.1.6R on the Televideo EX16 3D ISA PNP Sound Card. MSS/WSS Base Address 0x530, Irq 10, DMA 1. I guess FreeBSD doesn't like the PCI irq in the bios set to Level. Setting it to "Edge" in the CMOS plays the music properly. I still could not get the 8-bit Sound Blaster Pro emulation to work even with the "Edge" setting, but I am satisfied with the 16 bit MSS/WSS emulation. Oh well, I guess I will wait for the next RA beta for FreeBSD. Thanks to all who wrote back to my requests for help.

This is rather curious. I went to http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/ and saw this: Linux BusLogic Driver -- FlashPoint Support Now Available Mylex/BusLogic recently issued a press release announcing support for the FlashPoint SCSI Host Adapters on Linux. BusLogic has provided me with the FlashPoint Driver Developer's Kit, which comprises documentation and freely redistributable source code for the FlashPoint SCCB Manager. The SCCB Manager is the library of code that runs on the host CPU and performs functions analogous to the firmware on the MultiMaster host adapters. Thanks to BusLogic's release of the SCCB Manager, the Linux BusLogic driver now supports the FlashPoint Host Adapters as well. ---- You can download the source for the Linux driver from this site. So someone is getting info from Buslogic. I am concerned about this because I have a Buslogic card in my 486 and I planning to upgrade my setup this summer. Now I wasnt planning to get a FlashPoint card, but I could take the above statments as meaning that the FreeBSD group does not have a very good relationship with Buslogic. Of course I am not taking it that way. What I am thinking is that the Adaptec drivers might be better supported on FreeBSD than the Buslogic drivers. BTW, this _will not_ make me buy an Adaptec board when I upgrade my system. :-) -Reggie ----------------------------------------------------------------- Reginald S.

I am interested in concurrent programming and I wonder if there is a chance to get 'pthreads' library? Is there any vendor, or a web site where I could get the library that would work under FreeBSD? I would be very grateful if someone could answer these questions. Thank you.

I have the Walnut Creek CD (v2.1.6), and have been trying to install this thing for about a month now, with no luck. The following is a summary of what I've gone through; if I can get any one of these resolved so that I can put this frigging OS on my PC, I'd be eternally grateful: - I attempt to install from the CD in a DOS shell from Windows, and get a "can't allocate enough memory" error. And this is with 32MB of RAM. - I attempt to install from the CD in DOS mode, and get a "can't switch to protected mode" error. - I attempt to install from a boot floppy I downloaded, and then get to the part where it asks where I want to install from, and I indicate from a CD, and I get an error message saying that FreeBSD cannot find my CD-ROM. It's listed in Compeq's diagnostics utility as follows: Embedded IDE controller, base address 0x170 8X CD-ROM, Drive Position 1 MatshitaCD-ROM CR-583 - I conclude from reading the documentation that my CD is of an unsupported type, so I take CD 1, and xcopy all of the files on it to C:\FREEBSD, thinking that I'll install from DOS. So, I go through the boot floppy bit again, but tell it that I want to install from a DOS partition, and it did it's thing, but gave me numerous error messages that I didn't quite get. As it stands now, I take it that it needs to copy/create the filesystems, moving the data from my DOS/Windows partition to the BSD partition, but for some reason can't. Here is the DiskLabel Editor's report of my hard disk: disk wd0 partition wd0s2 free: 0 blocks (0 MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs wd0s1 1890MB DOS wd0s2a 32MB * wd0s2b 42MB SWAP wd0s2e 30MB * wd0s2f 443MB * What on earth do I need to do now?

I have checked the file it listed (directory too) and it has the correct priviliges as a matter of fact, anybody can execute it. Anyway, I freaked out, recompiled the old (prechanges old kernel) and it rebooted with the same problems. As it turns out, (I just figured this out, halfway through this e-mail) is that nobody can execute anything unless they are in group 0 (wheel). I am in group wheel so I didn't notice, but my friends noticed when they couldn't execute there login shells. All of the priviliges seem right and everthing seems to be working. Any suggestions. I just recompiled the kernel. I can start over with a generic kernel, but not until I get a chance to visit my computer screen as I have to run a boot config for it to even boot.

Check the names you have in /. Anything startin with /kernel should be bootable. As to the other problem: is the boot just slow from start to finish, or does it hang at some point? If so, where?

Yes. Get real addresses. How do you expect the Internet to know how to route data to you if you don't register the addresses? You may be able to convince your ISP to give you a block of addresses; otherwise, he might be able to tell you how to do it. Generally, though, you're in bad shape trying to connect a network via a dynamically assigned address. Try to get a static address (one of the block) instead.

I would suggest you do what the message suggests: log on as yourself, and use su when you want to become root. If you don't have your own login ID, look at the man page for adduser (and adding_user), and add a user ID for yourself. If you don't know how to use su, look at the man page for su.

The message is pretty straightforward: it can't perform a floating point operation. This shouldn't be a big deal, since the GENERIC kernel includes a floating-point emulator, but it's possible that the Pacific Hitech CD includes a kernel without the emulator. Try picking up the Walnut Creek version, or ftp a kernel from ftp.FreeBSD.org.

To help you with this one, I need to know more. What went wrong? When you say the system didn't identify the processor, you presumably mean it identified it incorrectly.

In FreeBSD, they're determined by the contents of the file /etc/localtime. To set up your local time zone, do: 1. If "MST" is an abbreviation for "Mountain Standard Time", copy the contents of /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver to /etc/localtime. 2. If "MST" is an abbreviation for "Middle European Summer Time", copy the contents of /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin to /etc/localtime. /etc/localtime also takes care of daylight savings time transitions.

It relies on a data base (/var/db/locate.database) that normally only gets rebuilt once a week (early on Saturday mornings, assuming the machine hasn't been turned off overnight :-). xdm and startx and xinit should all be in /usr/X11R6/bin.

Here is what happens. I select the packages i want to install and i dial up my service provider. I have it dynamically assign both the gateway and the ip address by putting both 0.0.0.0 in both fields. (I tried putting just 0 in the ip field, as the documentation states, but to no avail). I login in fine through the ppp program and then the installation begins. it logs into the ftp server fine and transfers about 300k of files and then hangs up. I have tried many different configurations and also three different modems (all on com1) at 2 different speeds (28.8, 14.4) I am very curious as to what the problem was. I have also tried installing the 2.2-BETA, instead of the released version 2.1.6 that i was previously installing. I called up my isp but they said it should work fine so i dont think that the problem is their. I have tried many different ftp sites also. PLEASE HELP ME! i am at wits end! thank you -jd ps i tried to install it over a dos partition, but it could mount my hard drive on /usr or something.. i would like to get the ppp problem fixed though. thanks again. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQBtAzHnHAYAAAEDALbb++pGAkGjdzacWURkcg1UTyNk1lmJjnX/2L+SLzM+6uVy QKCBeneoacOytHSIMzPhbRum8Q/UKQyb5cV1iYtxblTaAlxFEiwYXmbmyVIpCh7K TLA7/niHnKs42ChEsQAFE7QWamRmYiA8amRmYkBuZXRjb20uY29tPg== =CUMQ -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 1 09:56:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA02062 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 1 Feb 1997 09:56:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from horst.bfd.com (horst.bfd.com [204.160.242.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA02057 for ; Sat, 1 Feb 1997 09:55:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from harlie (bastion.bfd.com [204.160.242.14]) by horst.bfd.com (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA00375 for ; Sat, 1 Feb 1997 09:55:57 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 1 Feb 1997 09:55:56 -0800 (PST) From: "Eric J.

In general, I like to set my root umask to 077 or thereabouts, and I'll manually change anything that needs to be more accessible. That way, by default nothing I create is readable or writable by anyone else, so one absent-minded moment won't be disastrous.

That should probably work, although you can probably accomplish your goal less intrusively by sending syslogd a HUP (hangup) signal.

FreeBSD 2.2 supports threads AFAIK, do not know about pthreads library.
There was some kind of pthreads library with netbsd (maybe openbsd too),
maybe it will work.

You >will need to split off some space or delete one of your DOS partitions to >make room for FreeBSD. I'd like to add some detail to this if I may, since I was struggling with the same problem and finally found a fix. OS/2's fdisk utility is fairly similar in the way it shows information about the disk to MS-DOS based fdisk. My original plan was this: Primary Partition: OS/2 Boot Manager Primary Partition: C: drive with DOS Logical Partition: D: Free space, intended home for FreeBSD Logical Partition: E: OS/2 system Logical Partition: F: OS/2 data (HPFS formatted) As I've come to discover, this won't work at all. It turns out that the key element here is that you CANNOT install FreeBSD in an extended partition. You also need to remember that once you've installed FreeBSD, OS/2's fdisk will see the FreeBSD partition/slice as a primary partition. From a space allocation perspective, it's important to remember that you can only have 4 primary partitions on a disk; or 3 primary and one extended partition, which can then be broken up into more than one logical drive. Also, when viewed from FreeBSD's fdisk, the whole extended partition looks like ONE slice, no matter how many logical drives are on it. So be very careful when you use FreeBSD's fdisk to pick your FreeBSD install slice. What finally worked for me, was using OS/2's fdisk to delete the D: partition above. To solve the problem of all of my drive letters moving, I created a 1M logical drive D: at the end of the free space then booted with the FreeBSD install disk. The install routine picked the free space by default, and it installed cleanly. Once you've successfully installed FreeBSD, you'll have to use OS/2's fdisk from either the Warp Utility Disk boot, or use the OS/2 install disks and exit to a prompt. Just add the FreeBSD partition to the Boot Manager menu, mark the Boot Manager partition Startable, and you're off and running. :-) OS/2's fdisk currently shows: Primary Partition: OS/2 Boot Manager Primary Partition: C: DOS Primary Partition Type A5 Logical Partition: D: Logical Partition: E: OS/2 system Logical Partition: F: OS/2 data (HPFS formatted) In this FreeBSD newbies not-so-humble opinion, it is not anywhere *near* clear enough in the docs that you cannot install FreeBSD in an extended partition. I read quite a lot before I tried the install, and pounded away at it for hours (deleting a mostly backed up DOS partition in the process) before I figured all this out. I'm sure that it's perfectly clear to the "oldbies" that what I wanted to do would not work, and yet when I posted my first request for help to the questions list, I never got a response from any of you. I did get some very helpful people that did their best to give me some directions to explore, and I am Bcc:'ing this to them so that they will know I finally got it working. >The OS/2 Boot Manager can boot FreeBSD fine, btw; I have it here. Me too. :-) I'm interested in the other boot managers available from FreeBSD, such as Boot Easy and OS-BS. Has anyone used either of them and OS/2 Boot Manager, and would like to comment? I am loathe to try experimenting with a working system.

FreeBSD is based on the 4.4BSD-Lite distribution from the Computer Science Research Group (CSRG) at the University of California in (the People's Republic of) Berekeley.

For what is Unix specially designed (Networking? Internet?)? UNIX was originally designed to run a game called 'spacewar.' Since this usage wasn't going to keep it alive at Bell Labs, the creators billed it as a system for writing technical manuals, leading to the Documentor's Workbench (WDB) version of UNIX. Later it was again recast as an ideal programming environment, leading to the Programmer's Workbench (PWB) version of UNIX. Later yet, the Berkeley CSRG created one of the first implementations of the fourth version of the IP protocol, leading to what we now know as the Internet.

Pretty much. Most statically linked BSD/OS executables will run on FreeBSD.

I tried installing this as my if: #!/bin/sh # # if-simple - Simple text input filter for lpd # Installed in /usr/local/libexec/if-simple # # Simply copies stdin to stdout. Ignores all filter arguments. /usr/bin/tr "[\010]" "[\010\013]" && exit 0 exit 2 And several variations on it, but all I got was either nothing at all (the printer would feed the paper through but not print anything) or it would print a single line and no more. I'm not entirely sure I've got the tr syntax right, either. So if anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The ppp connection works fine, when I dial my ISP the ppp dials up and logs in nicely, and the ppp changes to PPP ON> showing the ppp interface is up. The problem I'm having is a routing problem. I don't have a proper ip number for my machine, so I've given it the number 10.0.0.2 in my /etc/hosts file. The following is a copy of my ppp.conf file, I've called my isp "z", z: set debug set phone xxxxxxx set redial 30 4 accept pap set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: myname word: passwd ts> ppp" set timeout 0 set openmode active set ifaddr 0 0 The set ifaddr 0 0 allows my machine to have it's ip number allocated by the isp machine. I've looked through the ppp.log file and that works perfectly also. I have the following line in my /etc/sysconfig file; ifconfig_tun0="inet 10.0.0.2 203.2.228.19 netmask 0xffffff00" The problem occurs after I have made a successful connection, I can't ping my isp's machine. If I type netstat -r, netstat just hangs, the routing information is being clobbered somewhere. It's my guess that the routing information is being clobbered by the dynamic ip number allocation, however I can't think of a way to stop it. I've asked my isp to allocate two ip numbers to me permanently, however just at the moment he doesn't have the facilities to do that. Can somebody please give me some suggestions about what to do, or about what I might be doing wrong.

I followed the instructions in the on-line handbook and was able to get it running in less than 1/2 hour (of course that was after the kernel rebuild removing the tun0 device and adding the ppp0 device). The only thing I needed to do was change the sample scripts to reflect my user info. for my ISP. That's it, quick and painless.

You have to make sure you have a getty running on each of the serial port lines that you want to accept logins from. Edit /etc/ttys and add a line that turns ``on'' a getty for ttyd1. > The modems work fine on ttyd2(cuaa2) for dialing in and out. I noticed Huh???

You could run kermit (or any other terminal emulation program, etc.) on both machines and just watch characters typed on *one* keyboard appear on the OTHER monitor, etc. Of course, this all assumes you have baud rates, etc. set right.
