Which, from a FreeBSD console by default is cons25. Now, since most systems I connect to run Linux, and Linux doesn't have the cons25 entry in its terminal capability database, it barfs. Just like you are seeing. If you run the same thing from an xterm, it SHOULD work (unless you are forcing cons25 to be set in your .profile on your home machine, which is a bad thing). In an xterm you are no longer using the "cons25" terminal description, but an "xterm" terminal description (so a set | grep TERM should show TERM=xterm instead of TERM=cons25 from the FreeBSD console). When you run xterm under X, it sets your TERM variable to xterm. Most systems I've played with have an xterm entry in the termcap database, and so things work. Cya. Adrian.

One has a DEC-205 EtherWORKS III card and the other a 3Com ep0. Both of them will not run CAP installed as either a package or a port. Both fail with an SIOCADDMULTI error...the same error. I was willing to believe that this was a problem with the le0 driver until I encountered it with 3Com. I have 16 bpfilters compiled into my kernel, all configured(0-15) in /dev, and CAP will not work. I think I've tried everything. I wrote Max, who maintains the port, and he seemed to think it was the card...now I'm not so sure. I've also tried to compile netatalk-1.4b2 with no luck. I can hack it to get it to compile, but it seems to have multicast problems, too. I've compiled in NETATALK and MROUTING in my kernel with no effect. So my question has two parts really: 1. Is there anything special I need to do to get CAP or netatalk running with 3.0-970209-SNAP? 2. What is the BEST ethernet card to use with FreeBSD? I've tried using the fxp0 (Intel 100 Base-T), but it craps out if network traffic gets too high. I couldn't keep it on the network for more than 30 minutes at a time.

I think what is really happening is that you're getting some garbage from your cabling or possibly from your hub/switch. There is a bug in the "rev 1" chips that causes the receiver to go dead if the IFS is too short (or the preamble contains garbage). I'm using the Pro/100B in wcarchive, and we do about 2.5MBytes/sec sustained (with higher peaks) for most of the day, and I've never had a glitch. I've also done extensive stress testing here (I have Pro/100B's in all of the machines here), and except when I mess around with the cables, I've never seen a failure. The bug is supposed to be fixed in the next rev of the chip; I have a couple of the next-rev cards here, but I haven't had a chance to plug them in yet. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 2 03:27:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id DAA05248 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 03:27:10 -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 DAA05236 for ; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 03:27:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id DAA04928; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 03:26:51 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 2 Mar 1997 03:26:51 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: Johan Christensen cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, al@nero.alingsas.se Subject: Re: Email port In-Reply-To: <331952FE.7A6B@skola.alingsas.se> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from QUOTED-PRINTABLE to 8bit by freefall.freebsd.org id DAA05238 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 2 Mar 1997, Johan Christensen wrote: > Hi!!! > > Im looking for a port that can make auto-answers for some people in out > E-mail system. man vacation > If you can find any please email me.

My system is currently running 3.0-970124-SNAP. While trying to install majordomo on my system, it couldn't find /usr/local/bin/perl, and I noticed that the version of perl that came with FreeBSD was 4.0 or something. Of course, I went to go install perl 5.003. However, the compile died immediately with the error In file included from perl.h:611, from miniperlmain.c:10: sv.h:250: parse error before `DIR' sv.h:250: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union sv.h:264: parse error before `}' *** Error code 1 Now, I thought this was some problem with the include files, so I sup'ed FreeBSD-Current's include files, but that didn't fix it. Then I sup'd FreeBSD-Stable's include files, which also didn't fix it. Also, I wanted to compile sendmail 8.8.5.

I tried compiling perl through the ports with the same results, and sendmail from the Current sources (I sup'd the whole tree on the offchance that it MIGHT fix it, which it didn't) with also the same results.

I now have a second identical disk (wd2), which I have partitioned in the same way as the first, and have Windows-95 in wd2s1. I wish to partition wd2s3 in the same way as wd0s3, so that I can mount it and use it as a full backup area. Neither of the ways given in the FAQ notes work, and if I try using disklabel -e -r wd2 I get an error. I've tried to trick "sysinstall" into thinking it is doing an installation, in the hope that it will update the disk labels and run 'bad block table' before realizing that it can't go any further, but it's too clever for that, and won't pass through the media check phase. In looking through the code, I think what I need to do is use sysinstall to: 1. select wd2, and create partition wd2s3 2. create wd2s3[abe] in label editor 3. Enter "wizard" mode !!?? 4. invoke "write" command 5. exit wizard mode, and exit sysinstall 6. run bad block mapper "by hand". However, since the new disk IS my backup media, I thought it would be wise to run this by you guys first. If there is another way to do this, I am of course eager to hear it. thanks Ken Woodhouse.

Do to some recent problems I had to re-install a few times. I started w/ 2.1.5R CDROM. I then used cvsup (tag=. and ports-all) to update my ports collection to -current. Some of the ports I attempted to make gave me errors of certain files not found. I figured this problem was caused by using and older release to compile the newer ports. So, I then cvsup'ed to 2.2-GAMMA and added ports-all to my new cvsup "supfile" (tag=RELENG_2_2). I then did make world and rebuilt my kernel. Everything looked fine here. Make world completed fine and so did building the new kernel. Now when I attempt to build any of the ports the system can't find any of the Makefiles. I checked a few of the ports and I couldn't find any Makefiles. When I attempt to build any of the ports, I keep getting: bash# pwd /usr/ports/sysutils/xperfmon bash# make install make: don't know how to make install. Stop bash# What's the best way to correct this? Here's a copy of the my cvsup supfile (I used the example in the on-line handbook): *default tag=RELENG_2_2 *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all src-all cvs-crypto Thanks in advance.

Yes. You should boot in single user mode by entering -s to the boot prompt. In single user mode the root file system will be mounted read only. The /etc/fstab lives in the root file system so you have to mount it for r/w access. You do it by # mount -o rw -u / Then you can edit /etc/fstab with the ed editor. If you feel uncomfortable with ed you can mount the /usr file system and use vi. wishing you success Wolfgang Helbig From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 2 15:19:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA09108 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 15:19:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from cu.imt.net (cu.comp-unltd.com [204.212.40.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA09103 for ; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 15:19:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from pearl (bzn11.imt.net [205.162.162.44]) by cu.imt.net (8.7.3/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA03954 for ; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 16:15:49 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <331A181F.4564@esus.cs.montana.edu> Date: Sun, 02 Mar 1997 17:15:27 -0700 From: Administrator X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0b2 (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: sio2....

I do not know where your devices are, but I will send you my /etc/fstab, so you might guess your entries. I have to IDE disks, each master on primary res. secondary IDE-channel. The first disk (wd0) has one slice (wd0s1) ( = one "DOS Partition") and this slice has the "usual" BSD partitions. Swap is always partion b. Partition f (wd0s1f) is not used in fstab. The second disk (wd2) --master on the second IDE channel-- has one slice (wd2s1) and this slice has one partition (wd2s1a). So my fstab looks like this: /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 #/dev/wd0s1f /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1e /var ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd2a /usr ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 To get vi, I would have to enter # mount /dev/wd2a /usr OTOH, it is not to hard to learn some ed commands. You could even try to enter you fstab with # cat > /etc/fstab /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 ... ^D # good luck Wolfgang From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 2 16:48:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA16275 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 16:48:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from kipling.bain.com.au (kipling.bain.com.au [203.0.62.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA16226 for ; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 16:47:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhost.bain.com.au (plath.bain.com.au [10.179.22.78]) by kipling.bain.com.au (8.8.2/8.8.2) with ESMTP id LAA07251 for ; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 11:47:46 +1100 (EST) Received: from black (black.bain.com.au [203.0.59.62]) by mailhost.bain.com.au (8.8.2/8.8.2) with ESMTP id LAA25062 for ; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 11:47:44 +1100 (EST) From: Callum Gibson Received: (callum@localhost) by black (8.6.12/8.6.12) id LAA04084 for questions@freefall.freebsd.org; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 11:47:30 +1100 Message-Id: <199703030047.LAA04084@black> Subject: Re: Java binary support in FreeBSD ...

Your setup software seems a bit different than mine. I used the DOS utility to manually set the IRQ and IO to the above specs. I can not comment on any plug & pray configurations. I personally have had nothing but bad luck with plug & fray. > There are no reported conflicts that I know of, I have placed the "?" in > the irq area in the kernals configuation file, the kernal builds without > a problem. Put the IRQ and IO into your entry for ed0 into the kernel and recompile the kernel. Look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT for proper syntax. Also, try booting the machine using -c at the "boot:" prompt. Then type "visual" at the next prompt. This will let you see if there are any IRQ/IO conflicts. I also recommend commenting out all of the dozen or so ethernet cards that are in your kernel if you do not need them. > Can you offer me some help this is driving me crazy. -- __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Thank you * Highperformance.net ) Wannabe Sysadmin * The homeless domain )-------( Jason Wells * "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" \_____/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 2 16:55:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA16833 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 16:55:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from freebie.brann.org ([207.122.63.57]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA16824 for ; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 16:55:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jbrann@localhost) by freebie.brann.org (8.8.4/8.8.2) id TAA10656; Sun, 2 Mar 1997 19:54:42 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199703030054.TAA10656@freebie.brann.org> Subject: Re: Need some help with ethernet card configuration In-Reply-To: <331A3E98.3F26@internetuniverse.com> from George Hegyes at "Mar 2, 97 06:59:36 pm" To: ceo@internetuniverse.com (George Hegyes) Date: Sun, 2 Mar 1997 19:54:42 -0500 (EST) Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: John Brann Organisation: Not while I'm at home X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (25)] 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 George Hegyes wrote...

The IRQ they use by default is 3 (! - used by sio1), so you might want to go back to the config to set them to a more sensible value, 5 0r 10 should be OK. As a first cut, you migh try disabling si01 and tweaking the ed0 config to use IRQ 3 in a '-c' boot. John -- Prohibit work, prohibit pay - people are dying!

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

This will make it more worthwhile to invest in future development on our codebase.

You will likely not see major improvements beyond where 3.0-current was before the initial merge for about that timeframe. I am still using a 3.0-current kernel from early Feb for my running system. I will likely move over to the Lite/2 merged stuff for most of my development in about the 1mo timeframe.

I mentioned that the hard drive that makes noise is wd1 on the wdc0. It is partitioned with DOS on the first part and FreeBSD on the second part. My primary drive wd0 on wcd0 does not make the noise, nor does wd1 when I access its DOS partition from DOS. Could the problem lie in the way I have partitioned the drive? Perhaps the DOS/FreeBSD partition is split across a cylinder. Maybe I should try and partition it so that the final sector of the DOS partition is the last sector of a cylinder and the first partition of the FreeBSD partition is the first sector of the next cylinder. Also, am I issuing the correct mount command? mount -rw -t ufs /dev/wd1s2 /mnt should mount the second (FreeBSD) partion of drive wd1 at mount-point /mnt, correct? Should I try replacing /dev/wd1s2 with /dev/rwd1s2? That is mount it as a raw device rather than a block device? Any practical suggestions made in an attemp to preserve the life of my hard drive would be appreciated. Thank You, JM ----- Jeffrey M.

I have 2 machines (x & y) running free BSD. One machine(x) is connected to wired network of my department(CS Dept. in Texas A&M Univ.). And also connected with another machine(y) by wireless netword(using wavelan cards). I am also planning to have serial link between those two machines by having SLIP connection between them. x is currently configured as router and it is routing packets between cs wired network and subnet for wireless network. So packets to/from y are passed throught x. I want to set up SLIP link between them and want to configure x as router for SLIP link too. ( I can disable wireless network for some time if I have to). Is Configuration for routing same as for other type of networks like ethernet? Can anyone tell me how to configure for this setup and also for setting up SLIP link? I tried to setup link by using /stand/sysinstall and following "post installation configure" but that menu option does not show me the screen which normally shows various interfaces and their setup. I could only see that screen when I first installed BSD, there after I could never get that screen. So I don't know how to setup SLIP connection. Thanks for your valuable time.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all- I seem to be making heavy usage of the list now ;) Anyways, I fixed my compiling problem, realized that sup download the include-current into /usr/src/include instead of /usr/include. However, now I've got another question. Has anyone ported the utility diald to FreeBSD? I know that user ppp has a very similar function, but for some reason, user ppp doesn't work very well on my box, while kernel ppp works like a charm. The reason for this is my ISP seems to like to drop carrier while I'm downloading large files, and it gets really annoying. In my experience, if you can connect to your ISP fast enough, the download will resume, and that would be a good thing. So, is there anything like diald for FreeBSD?

But i found no way to start the postmaster while booting. The postmaster daemon has to run under uid 'postgres'. I put this line into the 'rc.local' file : /bin/echo "/u/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D/u/pgsql/data > \ /u/pgsql/server.log 2>&1 &" | /usr/bin/su - postgres But the postmaster dies with signal 11 at bootup. >From /var/log/messages: Mar 1 15:48:15 thor /kernel: pid 1110: su: uid 270: exited on signal 11 270 is the uid of user postgres. When i put the same line into a script file and call this script file as root everything works fine. The postmaster is running as a daemon under uid 'postgres'. When i call this script file from 'rc.local' while booting, postmaster dies with signal 11. When i try to start the script file using 'at', it fails on the same reason like starting it from rc.local. I also tried to call postmaster with option '-S' from 'rc.local' but postmaster also dies. I don't think that this is a postgres problem, while starting other programs from rc.local using su gave the same problems. I tried that with 'ingreslock' using 'su' to run it under uid ingres. How do you start daemons, who have to run under a special uid while bootup ?

I though that since I had no eisa or scsi devices, I would not enable support for any of them, and also since there is no native support for my Accton 1650 network card, I disabled all other network card probes and only enabled the "device ed0" probing for a NE1/2000 network cards. I have also attached my current kernel's config file which is derived from the GENERIC one with only support for APM and my SoundBlaster added, I think . :+> Thanks in advance. --=====================_857389573==_ Content-Type: text/plain; name="mykernel.txt"; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="74747874" Content-Transfer-Encoding: x-uuencode Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mykernel.txt" begin 600 mykernel.txt M(PHC($=%3D5224,@+2T@1V5N97)I8R!M86-H:6YE('=I=&@@5T0O04AX+TY# M4B]"5'@@9F%M:6QY(&1I2!&87-T($9I;&5S>7-T96T*;W!T:6]N M7-T96T*;W!T:6]N7-T96T*;W!T:6]N2!N965D M(&]N92!O9B!T:&5S92P@=&AE(&-O9&4@9'EN86UI8V%L;'D@9W)O=W,*"B-D M979I8V4)"7=T,`EA="!I7-C;VYS(&ES('1H92!D969A=6QT M(&-O;G-O;&4@9')I=F5R+"!R97-E;6)L:6YG(&%N(%-#3R!C;VYS;VQE"F1E M=FEC90D)2!I&EN='(*"B,*(R!,87!T;W`@2!IF4*(R!T:&ES(&QI&5D+@HC(%)I9VAT(&YO=R!I M="!A<'!E87)S('1H870@=&AE(&EE,"!M=7-T(&)E('!R;V)E9"!B969O'`P"B-D979I8V4@=G@P"F1E=FEC92!E9#`@870@ M:7-A/R!P;W)T(#!X,S`P(&YE="!I#(X,"!N970@:7)Q(#$P(&1R<2`P M('9E8W1OF4P(&%T(&ES83\@<&]R="`P>#,P M,"!N970@:7)Q(#4@:6]M96T@,'AD.#`P,"!V96-T;W(@>F5I;G1R"B-D979I M8V4@>G`P(&%T(&ES83\@<&]R="`P>#,P,"!N970@:7)Q(#$P(&EO;65M(#!X M9#@P,#`@=F5C=&]R('IP:6YT<@H*<'-E=61O+61E=FEC90EL;V]P"G!S975D M;RUD979I8V4)971H97(*<'-E=61O+61E=FEC90EL;V<*<'-E=61O+61E=FEC M90ES;`DQ"B,@:6IP<'`@=7-EFEP"0DC($5X96,@ M9WII<'!E9"!A+F]U="=S"@IC;VYT7-T96T@=&%B;&4@ MFEN9RX*"FUA>'5S97)S"3$P"@IC;VYF:6<)"6ME2!I2!IGuy Helmer writes: >> That might help explain some of the differences in numbers for my runs of >> SPEC95 fp benchmarks on 2.1.5 (-O2 optimization) w/o HAVE_FPU math libs >> vs. 2.2-BETA (-O4 optimization) w/ HAVE_FPU.

So is this a good option to put in for COPTFLAGS in /etc/make.conf for maximum kernel efficiency with a 2.2-Gamma system? Something like: COPTFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -pipe I searched the gcc man page and found -fstrength-reduce but no explicit reference to the negation option. Is this still a valid flag in 2.7.2.1, or does the below indicate that this action is automatic now? Thanks, Doug >Here's a quote from >David S.

I updated my ALPHA box to GAMMA and aren't having any problems. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . You may want to copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

There is a long standing bug that group lines over 1024 characters will cause odd problems. REport this to hackers@freebsd.org or use send-pr and file a bug report. In the meantime, split your group into two and it should work OK.

I inquired yesterday about connecting as a client to an NT 4 server with ppp. I couldn't get either pppd or iijppp to successfully authenticate. I believe that this is due to the Microsoft Chap extensions on the NT server which encrypts the username/password. Anyways, I have turned off those extensions on the server and expect everything to work fine but in the course of exploring this I discovered some patches to pppd to support the MS extensions. These are at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/ppp/ppp-2.2.0f.tar.gz. There is a README.mschap80 in this distribution and it includes patches to make pppd use the MS extensions. I took a quick glance in -current and didn't see any indication that these patches have been applied. I don't expect to need them and don't have the experience to pursue this any further but I thought I'd send this in case anybody else has a need for this information. -Steve On Sun, 2 Mar 1997, Stephen Mathezer wrote: > > We just moved our dialin server to an NT 4 server and of course I am > struggling to successfully connect using either iijppp or pppd. > > I searched the Email archives and discovered lots of questions but few > answers. > > Can somebody tell me first whether it is possible to connect to an NT 4 > server using either pppd or iijppp. Secondly of course, how exactly is > this done. > > The NT server is of course trying to use chap and does not provide a > login: prompt. > > I do have access to the NT server if there is something I can change at > that end to make things work better. > > Thanks for any help. > > -Steve > > > This is what I get running pppd -d: > > Mar 2 14:53:17 cygnus pppd[292]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 > Mar 2 14:53:17 cygnus pppd[292]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa1 > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: Modem hangup > Mar 2 14:53:17 cygnus pppd[292]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 > Mar 2 14:53:17 cygnus pppd[292]: Using interface ppp0 > Mar 2 14:53:17 cygnus pppd[292]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa1 > Mar 2 14:53:17 cygnus pppd[292]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 > ] > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x0 > ] > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x0 ] > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 > ] > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x1 00 00 02 dc] > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: sent [LCP TermAck id=0x1] > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: Hangup (SIGHUP) > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: Modem hangup > Mar 2 14:53:18 cygnus pppd[292]: Exit. > > > From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 3 14:38:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA03171 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 14:38:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from uniqsite.com (uniqsite.com [206.14.149.33]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA03164 for ; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 14:38:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (nickliu@localhost) by uniqsite.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id OAA02942 for ; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 14:37:15 GMT Date: Mon, 3 Mar 1997 14:37:15 +0000 () From: Nick Liu Reply-To: Nick Liu To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: subscribe Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk subscribe freebsd-questions From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 3 14:44:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA03555 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 14:44:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from croute.com (ishm2.croute.com [199.97.106.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA03547; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 14:44:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from bldg1.croute.com by croute.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA16638; Mon, 3 Mar 97 16:44:06 CST Received: from COMPUROUTE/SpoolDir by bldg1.croute.com (Mercury 1.21); 3 Mar 97 16:44:07 -0600 (CST) Received: from SpoolDir by COMPUROUTE (Mercury 1.30); 3 Mar 97 16:43:49 -0600 (CST) From: "Larry Dolinar" Organization: CompuRoute, Inc.

What is the BEST ethernet card to use with FreeBSD? THis is a bit of a religious question, but I'll answer it according to my experience. The one you've got is pretty good; I'm having good luck with a Dayna PCI card. The NE2000 compatible adapters work well too, I had one in my Pentium for about a year. CAP runs off our 486/25 server with a NE2000 with no problem as well. Since this is current, you might consider asking current@freebsd.org.

No, you've got to go the whole way... Try re-fetching the boot floppy from ftp.freebsd.org. We've put a new version up that should help the unstable ppp problems. Did you try installing files from a DOS partition, if any? Or is this machine totally dedicated to FreeBSD?

Codes 0x13 and 0x15 (which are listed at helical scan density > codes in the mt manpage) don't work on my drive. The dump density/length options don't apply to newer drives very well. Instead, use the B and b options, which specify # blocks and blocksize in kilobytes respectively. We have a Connor 2gb drive and use the following dump commands to make backups over a network. rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 / rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /var rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /usr rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/rst0 /usr1 Tune to meet your needs. Excessive shoeshining (back,forth,back,forth) can be solved by adjusting the blocksize. Hope this helps. See dump(8) for further details.

Please help me if you > are able to Assuming these are DOS formatted floppies and you are running as root, you can use the following commands to access your floppy drive. 1. Mount the disk: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt The disk's filesystem will be available as /mnt being the root of the floppy's filesystem. DO NOT REMOVE THE DISK WITHOUT PERFORMING #2 FIRST. 2. When you're done: make sure your current directory is not on the floppy and type: umount /mnt Now you may remove your floppy. Alternatively, you can use the 'mtools' (?) port or package to access the floppy's filesystem.

The directory /mnt should exist on your system. If not, you can use mkdir to create one. If the disk is in DOS format this will not work. You must use a "UNIX" disk. 3-Then you should try cd /mnt. 4-Then type ls. The contents of this disk should now be displayed. 5-Type "umount /mnt" to unmount the floppy. Note: if the disk that you want to access is in DOS format try "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt" But if you get a warning that says something about the directory not being a multiple of blocksize then immediatley type "umount /mnt". There is a problem that occurs sometimes when mounting a DOS filesystem. I seriously messed up my system by ignoring that warning. I recommend avoiding mounting msdos filesystems for reasons based on superstition. -- __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Thank you * Highperformance.net ) Wannabe Sysadmin * The homeless domain )-------( Jason Wells * "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" \_____/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 3 21:56:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA26432 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 21:56:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA26407 for ; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 21:56:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id VAA21236; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 21:56:34 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 3 Mar 1997 21:56:33 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Ricardo Williams cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Custom kernel not compiling In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19970303152920.0069dc20@ctpop01.iafrica.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Next time, just post the file straight to the message.

According to the disk label editor, the name of the disk is wd0, and the freebsd partition name is wd0s4, and the file systems are wd0s4a...f. (This is a 1.6mb hard drive with three primary dos partitions and one freebsd partition with the autodefaults for file system allocation). Is the wd0a file system mentioned above the root file system, and is it filling up because I log on as root and all my mail and web caches are there? Why is it /dev/wd0a and not /dev/wd0s4a? Perhaps these are the wages of the evil sin of logging on as root--perhaps if I had a /usr/home directory I wouldn't be running out of space. Any suggestions on how to handle this problem in the future (relocate mail and disk caches--a temporary fix?), are my suppositions correct, and what about the file system name discrepancies. Any light shed on these matters would be appreciated!

I would like to run a standalone program that will let me debug the hardware. About 10-12 years ago I did just that (not fpr pci ) and would like to do that again. I can't find the sources for any of the standalone libraries or the boot program or docs associate with them. If I remember correctly bsd did have some utilities and their source code.

I've got the two machines talking, but after the SLC gets the initial boot program & IP/name, it just sits there. To (hopefully) make things simpler, the SLC is Anubis, and the FreeBSD server is Osiris. So far, Anubis does a RARP request for it's name, which Osiris' rarpd provides. Then, anubis requests a boot program via tftp from Osiris (0A000005.SUN4C), and proceeds to download it. Anubis again asks for it's name via RARP, and then (i think) starts talking to Osiris' bootparamd. This is where things get stuck. I think that either bootparamd is giving different info than Anubis expects, or Anubis is trying to do an NFS mount from the info the bootparam provided, and NFS isn't set up correctly on Osiris (mountd/nfsd are running, but iv've never set up nfs) I have the NetBSD/Sparc filesystem residing in /usr/local/boot/sparc, the initial boot code in /tftpboot, and am running rarpd, bootparamd, nfsd, and mountd at startup. Hopefully, with some info below, the problem will be clear to someone!

The -B and -b options for dump are new to me and are most interesting but not exactly what I was after. An 8505XL can read and write in four density modes: 2.6 GB, 5 GB, 7 GB, and 14 GB (all on a 112 meter tape). I'd like to use the 14 GB mode. One can use the mt command to set the density mode but it's not clear what density code to use to get this mode. After having set the mode to 14 GB, though, the -B and -b dump options (set to say, 450000 and 32 respectively) would be extremely useful to allow dump to calculate how many tapes it will need and its progress etc... I assume you meant to say you use -B = 200000 not 2000000 in your example below -- 200000 * 10K = ~2GB.

Why not just run the 'upgrade' procedure from sysinstall? Or is there a directive to use ``make all install'' and not this? FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted during the upgrade process. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

I checked several other applications, but I haven't found a singe Makefile since I cvsup'ed back to RELENG_2_2. I used the ports collection extensively, and would love to use it again, once I find out what cvsup did to the Makefiles. I remember watching the GUI while cvsup was running. It updated the ports tree first (most likely because that was the first entry in the supfile). I saw something to the effect of 8000+ files were deleted.

Any help is appreciated! This is due to DOS trimming the file nanes to 8.3 format. Just copy the file for the package you want into a FreeBSD partition, rename it to its original name on the ftp site, and then use pkg_add to install it. > > ___________________________________________________________ > > David Empey > mailto: empey@integral.on.ca > homepage: http://www.integral.on.ca/empey/ > 604-185 Berkshire Drive, London, Ontario, Canada, N6J 3R6 > (519)-474-0296 Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 4 01:17:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA08699 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 01:17:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.NL.net (ns.NL.net [193.78.240.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA08694 for ; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 01:17:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from stuyts by ns.NL.net (5.65b/NLnet1.3) id AA15935; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 09:55:07 +0100 Received: from daneel (daneel.stuyts.nl [193.78.231.7]) by terminus.stuyts.nl (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id JAA00556 for ; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 09:53:58 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <199703040853.JAA00556@terminus.stuyts.nl> Received: by daneel (NX5.67f2/NX3.0X) id AA07287; Tue, 4 Mar 97 09:53:07 +0100 Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 3.3 v118.2) X-Nextstep-Mailer: Mail 3.3 (Enhance 1.2) Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.118.2) From: Ben Stuyts Date: Tue, 4 Mar 97 09:53:05 +0100 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Are multi-session cdrom's supported?

Please, has anybody got any idea why this isn't working? Begin forwarded message: Hi, I just appended a second session to a CDR. I wrote the CDR under Win95 with Gear 4 software on a Philips CDD2600 drive. The same drive is now being used to read the CDR under FreeBSD 2.2 gamma, ctm 189. I am unable to read the second session under FreeBSD; I can only see the data from the first session. However, df shows that the disc has the correct amount of data on it. du on the mount point only shows the data for the first session. I tried mounting /dev/cd0a and /dev/cd0c. No difference. I can read the second session correctly under Win95 and WinNT. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or doesn't FreeBSD support multi-session cdrom's, or is this a bug?

Why mounting something on /etc? Files in /etc are used before the filesystems get mounted (specificaly, /etc/fstab tells the system what filesystems to mount), so mounting something on top of that really makes no sense (at least to me).

Anyhow, FreeBSD will always boot the first BSD slice off the hard drive, so the slice number for the root filesystem is implicit. Using the root filesystem for all your needs is not recommended. Apart from getting it filled up you may also get it corrupted. The standard setup (with /usr and /var on separate file systems) will ensure that under normal operation the root filesystem is read-only, lowering the risk of corruption. Running as root also lets you use the space that UFS normaly reserves to allow faster allocations (that's why you have negative free space on it). This has a very large impact on write performance. In short - I usually try to use the root filesystem as little as possible. Most of my machines have just 20MB of root filesystem, and I never had it filled up. Your df output doesn't show any additional filesystems, but is /usr on a separate partition? If not, moving to /usr/home won't help...

Basically, you need to set up a couple of options in /etc/sysconfig, and build the NIS database itself (by running make in /var/yp, after creating a NIS domain and possibly editing the Makefile there).

I've installed over a link like that, and I just kind of watched the monitor of the machine in the corner of my eye while it's installing. If it looks like it's hung, hit Alt-F3 and re-open your ppp connection real quick. This worked for me, it just re-established the ftp connection, and went on where it left off.

I dont want to use the standard upgrade method because a)I have read a few people have had problems with the 2.1.7 upgrade taking serveral tries before working. This is a production machine that I cant have down for an "unknown" length of time with reboots and potentially tape backup restores b)Although its a production machine, I would sort of like to use it as a general test to upgrading our main server. Also, if I can compile with optimizations, and I can get a bit of a performance boost out of it then great. Its a pentium and the -m486 and -HAVE_FPU should in theory help for some of our apps... There is at least one user who runs some FP transformations on occasion. I have tried this method on my home machine, and it 'seemd' to work. However, its the first time I did a make world, and I couldnt find much documentation on it... Any idea where I can find more docs on the process ? Again, the procedure I followed was 1) Slurp down the src from ftp.freebsd.org in FreeBSD-stable/src 2) moved my old /usr/src to /usr/src.old and untared the stable src to /usr/src 3) did a make world in /usr/src 4) did a make install 5) went to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and did a config, and recompiled and make install 6) did a reboot and all "seems" fine... But I am worried I missing anything here... I guess also, I would like to move to CSV style updates... Apart from the man pages, are there any extra docs on it?

This system has a 1024x768 (XGA) TFT screen, a Pentium 133 processor, 1.44Gb disk, 16Mb memory (I would probably upgrade that to at least 32Mb). Are there any known problems with this type of setup? I figured I'd get the latest FreeBSD CDROM and boot/install directly from the internal CD drive onto disk. The system can handle two LiIon batteries at once so that should help a lot with power consumption, and I can always exchange the CDROM for another disk drive if I need more space for compiling programs for installation. Opinions? Things to look out for? Any input will be greatly appreciated. (I'm not on this mailing list so please reply directly to me.

I began the install from a 2.1.5 cdrom, unfortunately I couldn't get FreeBSD to recognize the cdrom drive once the process had begun. Thus I was forced to install via FTP, thus I installed 2.1.6 rather than 2.1.5. Now I want to upgrade to either 2.1.7 or 2.2 I attempted to use SUP, but after receiving all the sources I began the compile and it would run for about 2-3 hours then dump on error code 1. I then attempted to install via /stand/sysinstall. After setting the version in the options editor I would attempt to log in via ftp. It would log in, then sit at a blank screen.

Besides getting these caches out of root, what other kinds of cleanup should I do? I can change the cache locations from Netscape, and prefer not to have to reinstall everything if that is realistic. But I get the impression that installing so many things as root may have totally screwed up my file systems in ways I don't yet understand. I assume the correct thing to do is create at least one user and user group like the setup program suggested. I had some problems with this before--specifically, creating a user that had permission to su to root so I could work on configuration files. I tried to create a user in the group wheel and was told wheel was not a valid group assignment. Could you give me a couple pointers to keep me from destroying my system until I finish RTFM? :) Thanks, Michael From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 4 10:14:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA04996 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 10:14:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.tm.net.my (janeway.tm.net.my [202.188.0.155]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA04980 for ; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 10:14:45 -0800 (PST) From: sweeting@tm.net.my Received: from [111.111.111.110] ([202.184.153.105]) by mail.tm.net.my (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id CAA22417 for ; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 02:14:13 +0800 (SGT) Date: Wed, 5 Mar 1997 02:14:13 +0800 (SGT) X-Sender: sweeting@mail.tm.net.my Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: pls help : route and virtual domains ?

To be honest, I don't think they're supported. Why would you have multiple ISO9660 filesystems on the same CD? Isn't that a bit of a waste of space?

I assume you meant to say you use -B = 200000 not 2000000 in your > example below -- 200000 * 10K = ~2GB. Well, that is what those options are for :) I'm aware the values are wrong, but for some reason the tape estimates check out if we use those values. It's not a big deal, we don't have even close to 2gb of data to backup, and the guy who does the backups insists on using separate tapes for each machine and we don't do incrementals. Our backup strategy is "lacking" to say the least, but it's not the end of the world if the disks blow up.

Can you mount the CDROM and floppies simultaneously? if you can't you can't install from CDROM, you'll have to use network or floppies.

The system is also configured with IBM's MCA SCSI-II card, an IBM 200MB SCSI drive, a 3.5" floppy and a QIC tape drive on the "B" floppy connector. When the FreeBSD boot disk tries to boot, the system hangs less than a second after the drive begins to be read. I thought it may be the floppy drive itself, since I can't remember the last time I've used it. So, I pulled the hard drive and did a full install working off an ISA type motherboard so that FreeBSD was the only partition on the drive. When I installed the hard drive back into the PS/2, it hung while trying to boot in what appeared to be the same place. It would seem to be that the boot block (or whatever driver tries to load immediately afterward) is completely incompatible with PS/2 hardware. Is this true? Has this ever been tried?

Everything else looks in order. > How can I make sure I grabbed all of the ports? make sure that: 1. Tehre's a Makefile on the top level of the port. 2. pkg contains a PLIST, DESCR, and COMMENT. 3. perhaps something in patches, ie patch-aa If not, then re-grab the port from the ftp site. Remember you can do 'get xperfmon.tar.gz' from the sysutils directory to get the entire dir. Then extract. I'm not familiar with cvsup files, I just converted some old sup files when I started pulling the share and www dists. Those appear to work ok.

Any idea where I can find more docs on the process ? Consult hackers@freebsd.org, they're the ones responsible for making sure everything works. > 3) did a make world in /usr/src I've heard 'make all install' but I've never done this. > I guess also, I would like to move to CSV style updates... Apart from the > man pages, are there any extra docs on it? CVSup has a section in the Handbook. If Sup is running fine then you run a prog to convert your existing supfile to cvsup format, and you're off and running.

Tom, As far as accessing the density modes, seems to me that you change modes via ioctl's therefore, you won't be able to change that via options on dump. Seems to me you'd need to access them via different devices. Solaris does it like: /dev/rmt/0 - regular density /dev/rmt/0h - high density. etc. Oh, looking in /dev/MAKEDEV, and /dev you'll see /dev/rst0.[0123]. Maybe that's it.

My understanding of multi-session CD's are that it is the *drive* itself that is responsible for recognizing a multi-session recorded CD. Some cheaper/older drives do not read multisession.

What happens is that table of contents (or > whatever it is called) is re-written. True, the TOC is written again, however, all of the other TOC's ("sessions") and the files written are still present on the CD (obviously). On reason you may not be able to read the latest "session" written to the CD is the CD has not been "fixated". You can try doing that, or try "write-protecting" it also.

I type chmod 455 /sbin/su 5. did ll, it then looked like: -r--r-xr-x Still no go, not for a user in group wheel or group bin.

Yes it does, and it makes FreeBSD's msdosfs code go bonkers. DOS can handle it though. THat's why FIPS'd volumes are often ususable with FreeBSD (you get the Warning: root is not a multiple of clustersize in length or somesuch).

What happened was, when i had to pull an emergency shutdown i damaged the file system. when i finally got everything put back together where the system would boot i needed to fsck all the file systems. Well i booted from a spare drive with a root file system on it and fscked the original root file system. Well i apparently answered yes to some questions that i should have said no to because i have some /dev device with absurd attributes like owner = 1982437654 group = 4887652399 and major minor #s that are just as absurd. The big problem is that i can't remove those files (specifically ptyp4 and ptypf. In X i 'can't find available ptys for child process' but there are devices available after the absurd one's. It almost seems like the parent process won't look past those bad devices. I am right about that? What can I do to remove these files? I have tried to re MAKEDEV the ptys and it seems to work, at least it doesn't complain. I thought i would try to outsmart it and create users/groups with the names listed by ls -al but the names are invalid due to length. I think i need professional help :-) (read into that what you will.) thanks in advance.

FreeBSD doesn't support this by default, but you might try the PAO package, avaliable at http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO.

Has anyone considered writing a BSD program to do the same thing, store voice mail on a FreeBSD box using one of these modems? I have an application where this would be very nice, but don't want to dedicate a Windows box when it could just be a daemon on Unix. Not to mention the utility of letting users retrieve their voice mail on any workstation on the net :) Anyway, if this is not planned or being worked on, I'm willing to volunteer to do the work myself and contribute the code to FreeBSD. Assuming I can get enough information from the modem companies to know the "special commands" to make the modem do those tricks.

Take a peek at IPFilter, or newer versions of the ppp included with FreeBSD include an -alias option that does the necessary translations.

Your serial ports are plug & pray? Win95 will configure them, then you warmboot to BSD to run it. When you take Win95 off, you can't reconfig the ports. Take a look in your BIOS setup and make sure the ports are wired to specific port & IRQs.

All that's missing, is a simple way to add/remove users. But nothing a few simple scripts can't handle. --- yp.readme --- The NIS support in FreeBSD is fairly complete. rpc.ypupdated is only available if you have Secure RPC, which FreeBSD doesn't currently support. (Though with any luck it will before too long.) However it's not mornally needed for plain NIS support. The getservent(3) code was updated to support NIS before 2.1.5 was released. 2.1.6 and 2.2 will have it too. (getservent(3) is for reading /etc/services). The getprotoent(3) code in libc still doesn't have YP support, however the /etc/protocols file is quite small and doesn't tend to change very often. I plan to add NIS client support for this eventually though. Everything else is there. FreeBSD has NIS client and server support starting with 2.1.0. There were a few bug fixes for 2.1.5 (and there'll be a few more for 2.1.6). 2.2.0 will have all new server support (the existing code was written by other people and ported to FreeBSD by me, and is subject to the GPL; the new code is all written by me and is covered by a BSD-style copyright). Anyway. Assuming you know how to use NIS, you should be able to get FreeBSD's NIS support to do what you want. One machine will need to run ypserv and yppasswdd (or rpc.yppasswdd in 2.2.x) in order to be a server. Both will need to be configured as clients. (The one which is a server will be a client of itself, if that makes any sense.) Read the passwd(5) man page to see how to set up /etc/master.passwd for the client support. To create a server, do the following: # domainname your.chosen.nis.domain.name # cd /var/yp # ln -s Makefile.dist Makefile (do this if /var/yp/Makefile doesn't # exist) cp /etc/master.passwd . hostname > ypservers make ypserv # yppasswdd -m /var/yp/master.passwd -s -f This will create the NIS maps and start ypserv and yppasswdd. (On 2.2.x, rpc.yppasswdd has different comand line switches, and there's also an rpc.ypxfrd which is useful for sites with NIS master and slave servers.)

I've been logging in as roo t, setting up xwindows, etc. Now I see that my mail, news, and browser cache have filled up the root director y, and I understand there are other problems that will arise too doing everything as root. This is a single-user ma chine, so security is not an issue. So I created another user in the group wheel, which would presumably give me acc ess to all the configuration files but create caches in /usr/home/"username". However this new user, which id says belongs to wheel, cannot su to root. In addition, I cannot start user ppp while logged in as anything but root. Also, though I think I understand why, I can't start xwindows with xdm except as root. (I need to figure out why startx can't find the symbolic link X to the xserver--the path se ems to be correct). How do I create a usr that can su to root? Should I just bite the bullet and re install everything?

Check to see if the non-root user ("usr" for the sake of discussion) is in wheel. I used adduser to put a user in wheel once and it didn't work. To be sure that your new user is in wheel you must read /etc/group. Your correct entry will look some thing like this.

Look in your startup file for the "usr". This file will have the name .profile or .login depending on whether you use /bin/sh or /bin/csh for your shell. This file must have a statement for your path. This path should include /usr/X11R6/bin. Check this to see if your path is correct. > How do I create a usr that can su to root?

I set it up the way it is explained in the info file but all I get when I try to access the mount point is "Stale NFS file handle" errors. I'm beginning to suspect something might be broken in this version of Amd. Specifics on OS and AMD version are: FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE hardware: Dell Pro200 amd 1.1.1.1 of 1994/05/26 05:22:08 bsd44 #0: Wed Jul 17 01:11:58 1996 Built by jkh@whisker.cdrom.com for an i386 running bsd44 (little-endian). Map support for: root, passwd, union, nis, file, error. FS: ufs, nfs, nfsx, host, link, linkx, program, union, auto, direct, toplvl, error. The amd command line looks like: /usr/sbin/amd -p -r "foo.com" -w 240 -l "/var/log/amd.log" \ /source /etc/amdmaps/amd.direct -type:=direct The amd.direct map file contains: source type:=nfs;rhost=mach000;rfs:=/s0;sublink:=${key} The results when running amd are: # pwd /var/log # cd /source # pwd /source # ls ls: .: Stale NFS file handle I know there are about a thousand things that could be wrong here, but I think I've eliminated the most obvious possibilities. My amd mounts for home directories and for hosts all work fine, even the host mappings for the same machine where the sources are coming from works. I've tried using a "link" or "linkx" type for the entry in the amd.direct map with the same results. I can successfully mount mach000:/s0 my hand and access the "source" directory there - it is just this direct automount that keeps failing. Has anyone seen this behavior before under FBSD2.1.5? if you have direct mappings working could I see some samples of your direct mapping file and your amd command line?

If you shrink a filesystem with FIPS, you'll not shrink the cluster size, and will still have problems if the cluster size is greater than 16K. Anecdote: I just tried to install FreeBSD from a DOS partition today. (It was 2.1.6). It wouldn't install properly. Found out that the DOS partition was 1.6GB!!! We rebuilt the disk so that it had a 500MB partition (from scratch, not using FIPS), and the install went fine. So, don't even mount a DOS FS with cluster size of greater than 16K read-only -- if you do, you will be placing the rest of your filesystems at risk. FreeBSD V2.2 apparently has the problem fixed.

Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: - Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( - Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. - Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted during the upgrade process. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

(thanks ben :) ) Hi, I was trying to install the XFree86 in one of the computer in my office, that fact is, that computer didn't connect to any network and I don't have a CD-ROM for the program, so I tried to download the stuff in of the PC and transfer the files to the computer that I wanna install by floppy disks, I know it's kinda dumb but that's the only way. My question is, the X32bin.tgz file is too big, as I tried to untar the file, the long file name messed me up, is there a source that I can get a smaller chunks version of the same file? Thanks!

To quote the postings : " Why must you use "netmask 255.255.255.255" and NOT the normal netmask ?" "A netmask of 255.255.255.255 is required because a route already exists for that network (the address the interface was orginally configured with) so you need to establish a HOST route, not a network route." And that was the beginning of my troubles..... Anyway, i've decided to go back to what you suggested (especially since i am coincidentally going to run 3 IPs on one 486 sx 33 ) .

If I know well, it doesn't matter, it's another warning, so many people reported that after this warning, nothing bad happened. And the problem is with something on hard disk partitions, which is big enough to use 16kB sector-size or something. As I heard, no problem with floppies.

But, if you have a minimal dos on your machine, you can boot it the normal way, use your cd, and from dos, you can boot FreeBSD. On the CD, there is an autoboot or autoexec or I don't know exactly the name .bat file, which use the dos fbsdboot.exe utility which can boot FreeBSD, from a working dos machine. So first, try this one, it's much more simple. The only trick is to boot dos without emm386 or such memory-manager, fbsdboot doesn't like it. (It's interesting, that the loadlin.exe utility can kick off emm386, and fbsdboot cannot.)

FreeBSD has only sh and csh installed, all the other shells are only ports or packages. a) get pdksh b) go to AT&T's www server, and get the new ksh93 binary, built on a BSDI system (or the Linux version with the linuxulator, if 2.1.7 can run Linux elf programs - as I've heard 2.2 will do.) c) FreeBSD's sh is a not 100%-compatible Bourne-shell(*), and in it you can do a shell-function, like this: cd() { chdir "$1" PS1="`pwd` # " } and it works. This sh has an ENV-file as ksh has, so you can put this command to it. * (The original Bourne-shell hasn't got functions. The new versions has, but they search functions after built-in-commands, so cannot make a cd-function. And sh hasn't got a chdir command, it's a bit like csh-ism. And yes, in this version of sh, we have alias, but as you know, the ksh alias command cannot get parameters.) > Question 2: After installing the system I created > a user, me.

Well, it's not in the manual (2.1.5), but it means: simulate a full login of user, (as the ``-l'' option in the FreeBSD's manual). It's the old semantic, used most of the Unices (I worked on), but it's in the sources, too.

I assume you mean pulling (or swapping) cards out and waiting to see if the error appears again (repeat process until problem isolated). I can do this - the display card and the ethernet card are more involved than the scsi card. I guess I could reconfigure and set up a serial console; pull all the cards out except the ethernet card and wait. Changing the ethernet card would be the simplest thing to do, but I'll have to work with the people who maintain the domain name server here. As an aside, this system use to run Windows NT and Linux (I wipe both off the system when I got the machine). The person who had this computer before me, could never get Linux to run and use the scsi card and the ethernet card simultaneously - instead he built two separate kernels, one for each card (both work under NT with out any problem). I have never found any conflicts between these two cards under FreeBSD or Windows 95. I just wonder if there is any connection between my console messages and the issues experienced under Linux (my guess is probably not!). Anyway, thanks again. I'm going to go off and pound my head, pull and swap boards etc. Tod -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tod Luginbuhl email: t.e.luginbuhl@ieee.org Code 2121 Naval Undersea Warfare Center Telephone: (401) 841-7505 x38241 1176 Howell Street FAX: (401) 841-7453 Newport, Rhode Island USA "Don't argue with drunks and fanatics!" -- Sun Wolf (Barbara Hambly) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 5 09:15:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA27957 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 09:15:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from bellind.com ([206.101.34.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA27949 for ; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 09:15:19 -0800 (PST) From: RGireyev@BellInd.com Received: from cdcexchange.bellind.com ([170.1.130.2]) by firewall.bellind.com with SMTP id <3665-1>; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 09:12:38 -0800 Received: by cdcexchange.bellind.com with Microsoft Exchange (IMC 4.0.837.3) id <01BC2946.47180FA0@cdcexchange.bellind.com>; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 09:19:07 -0800 Message-ID: To: Cc: Subject: RE: Post installation stuff Date: Wed, 5 Mar 1997 09:19:06 -0800 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.837.3 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 > >> >> [..] >> >> Doohhh! >> >> Sorry completely forgot to tell you.

Let me ask you a couple of questions about the code below. Also, this is getting close to beeing a hackers mailing list issue, I think, so let me know if I need to repost this there. 195: { 196: /* only allow those in group zero to su to root. */ 197: if (pwd->pw_uid == 0 && (gr = getgrgid((gid_t)0))) 198: for (g = gr->gr_mem;; ++g) { 199: if (!*g) 200: errx(1, 201: "you are not in the correct group to su %s.", 202: user); 203: if (strcmp(username, *g) == 0) { #ifdef WHEELSU iswheelsu = 1; #endif /* WHEELSU */ 204: break; 205: } 206: } 207: } Now, line 198 loads pointer g to the root group members, then line 203 compares username with the root group members. Line 203 seems to make no sense. I guess I need someone who knows how su's algorithm is supposed to work, let me know what was intended here. Thanks. >Send me your /etc/group file, please, and the output of "ls -l `which >su`". Note that those are backquotes around the "which su", not >regular >single quotes. OK.

I decided to try it before returning it, and surprised myself by getting it to work. It uses a proprietary SMC83C795 chip and no WD chip compatibility is mentioned in the manual. I used the supplied EZStart program under DOS to configure it. I disabled Plug and Play, and used i/o mapped mode with a base address of 0x280 and irq 5. My FreeBSD 2.1.6 config: % grep ed0 /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PRO200 device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr % dmesg | grep ed0 ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 5 maddr 0xd8000 msize 8192 on isa ed0: address 00:00:c0:25:72:e2, type SMC8416C/SMC8416BT (16 bit) I did run into one bit of wierdness though. After installing the 8416, my Sportster internal modem stopped working and I had to move it from com2/irq3 to com1/irq4 to get it going again. This is very strange, since there are no evident irq, i/o address or com port conflicts with any other devices. Irq 5 was my only choice for the 8416 given my other hardware, and none of the other available i/o base addresses made any difference. irqs 10 and 11 are supported by the 8416 on the eisa bus, but mine's in a plain isa slot. I just *hate* an unsolved mystery like this, but I'm a pc newbie and probably overlooking something obvious. Can't comment on how robust the card is under heavy load. Mine talks to a gandalf LANLine ISDN bridge and I've been using it to telecommute for several weeks now.

We're using 2940s in all our machines, and the news server is the only thing that's giving us grief.

If you shrink a filesystem with FIPS, you'll not shrink the cluster size, and will still have problems if the cluster size is greater than 16K. Anecdote: I just tried to install FreeBSD from a DOS partition today. (It was 2.1.6). It wouldn't install properly. Found out that the DOS partition was 1.6GB!!! We rebuilt the disk so that it had a 500MB partition (from scratch, not using FIPS), and the install went fine. So, don't even mount a DOS FS with cluster size of greater than 16K read-only -- if you do, you will be placing the rest of your filesystems at risk. FreeBSD V2.2 apparently has the problem fixed.

WEll, you know what they say, the source makes the best documentation ;) These generally mean, AFAIK, that some route was removed from your routing table because of some link problem, or you added a default route and routed is doing its job and killing it once it figures out where it can go. Most likely, you don't need routed. If you can get by with just a default route, you don't need routed.

OK, this is what probably killed you. You may have gotten a warning: root cluster is not a multiple of clustersize in length or something like that. You should have IMMEDIATELY dismounted your msdos partition and hope nothing broke. > After a few commands, I start getting errors: > bad file descriptor. > > Unmounting the disk does not clear it, and last night the dev files > were giving bad file descriptor errors resulting in a non bootable system. Yes, your root filesystem may have been damaged. You should be able to fsck the filesystem from the fixit system and get the partition fixed. This is a known bug and *may* have been fixed in 2.2. But for the time being, do NOT mount dos filesystems with 16k clusters, which is ones greater than about 500mb (?).

In general, you only ever want *one* of "enable pap" and "accept pap"; one means "OK, I'll do PAP if the other side wants it" and the other means "I'm going to require him to PAP authenticate with me." Your ISP isn't going to authenticate with you. Search the archives for my responses in January and February, I posted a tutorial on IIJPPP twice in the last two months. If you find the right posting, it tells you how to start PPP at system boot, setup auto-dial with routing, and everything else. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Ghostscript has an X display component, but if you muck around in the Ghostscript makefile there may be a way to disable it (--no-x with configure or some define). I have X on the computers that I installed it on so I can't say how to disable it offhand. The old ports/packages tree used to pull stuff automatically (the way I like it), but some people may have complained that they got built without too much human intervention.

Without this...users cannot log into our system. Is it libc.so.3.0 or libc.sco.3.0? There is no libc.sco on FreeBSD, and you can get libc.so.3.0 by copying /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 to libc.so.3.0.

You would not be going wrong either way. It depends on how much load this machine will be seeing. The motherboard plays a part as well.

Does your BIOS see it? Most likely you: 1. Didn't buy enough SIMMS to fill the bank. 2. Have different type or speed SIMMs with a motherboard that won't take them. 3. Have bad SIMMs. See your motherboard documentation for more details.

FreeBSD doesn't assume that the current directory is in the PATH. To run something in the current dir you have to do ./programname It's something you have to get used to when you move over from DOS-ish OSs. Make sure the requisite path(s) are in .cshrc in your home directory. Look at the tcsh user's .tcshrc or .cshrc.

The bug was in the PCI support. The PCI support was not included in FreeBSD 2.1.6. FreeBSD 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 are bug-fix releases and generally do not include new features or device support. >It is not clear to me: was there any problem with the driver >included with the kernel 2.1.5?

The fix is attached. FreeBSD 2.1.* does not have support for the PCI driver, however. This is why I provided it to you seperately.

For some reason the hardware flow control isn't working to prevent data from being sent to the printer when internal buffer is full. I would have to use software flow control which could hopefully work. I enabled the DC1/DC3 option on the printer itself, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if DC1 and DC3 are the same as XON/XOFF. In the configuration the baud rate is set to 9600. The fs flag is set to 0x82000c1 the xs flag is set to 0x820. I suspect that I might have to set one of these flags to a different value make FreeBSD use DC1/DC3. Does anyone know what flag I should set? In the meantime I can use a baud rate of 1200 but that isn't fast enough to push the printer to 100% speed. -- Eric From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 5 19:58:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA08550 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 19:58:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from nexgen.hiwaay.net (max19-74.HiWAAY.net [208.147.146.74]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA08542 for ; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 19:58:24 -0800 (PST) Received: from nexgen (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nexgen.hiwaay.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id VAA07717; Wed, 5 Mar 1997 21:58:15 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199703060358.VAA07717@nexgen.hiwaay.net> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.9 8/22/96 To: questions@freebsd.org Cc: "Jordan K.

By that I am guessing you mean the firmware on the HD's and not on the 2940? I'm under the impression the aic7870 version 2940 is fairly old. I have two. And its trying to give me troubles. Upgraded the 2940 firmware on one to 1.16 but my current problem (not as severe as the others are reporting) is running 1.1. Was under the impression once FreeBSD boots its independent of the firmware on the card.

I can not make the system boot BSD. I have tried setting up the boot manager but when I do nothing will boot. I am new to Unix and I do not totally understand harddrive configurations and bootstraps. Is there someone that can give me detail instructions as to how to get my system working? All I really care about is that I use one drive for DOS and the other for BSD.

For example, when I try to start up the fvwm X Windows manager, I get this error message: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.6" Again with X Windows emacs-19.14 I get another error: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libgcc.so.261.0" I searched all over my system files and could not find any lib files with libXpm or libgcc. Also, I believe I received a similar error message when trying to use xv. Since I couldn't find any of these required libraries, I searched the ftp.freebsd.com site, but wasn't able to find them. Can you please point me to the exact ftp site and relative directory or full path where I could locate and download these libraries? Also, do you know if I'd need any other lib files for such applications as I've described. By the way, I installed my system with the ftp over the network option, so the installation might have missed some lib files needed for X Windows.

When I read the man ppp page, it said that various things were required to be done and then launches into a section on timeouts etc. Where is this all supposed to go? Is it supposed to go in /usr/local/bin/ppplogin? Do I have to customise all the files in the ppp directory? I'm planning on using a static address for the dialing in machine and naturally the server has a static address. Does the server need to run gated for the dialin machine to have access to the net? I know that this has no doubt been answered before but I cannot find the answer amongst all the using freebsd to connect to machine x. Regards, Hugh.

Or, 4, Some motherboards BIOS only report up to 16 Meg (all the rest seem to have a limit of 64 Meg). Try setting the "MAXMEM" config variable (see /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for details).

I assume your drives are IDE and that you intend to use BootEasy (the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD by default). You install FreeBSD onto the second disk as usual and then install BootEasy manually on the first disk by running bootinst.exe from DOS (this utility is on the CD/ftp site in the tools directory). Then when you boot you'll get something like: F1 - DOS F5 - Disk 2 Press F5 and FreeBSD's Boot: prompt should appear. If your second disk is the slave on the primary interface, just press enter at that point. If it's the master on the secondary channel, type: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel If you find you have to type that then there is a remedy that will let it boot with the defaults, but I guess it's best you get a basic system working first. If you have that you may want to search the mail archives for "cannot mount root" and you'll find countless comments on this issue.

If this works for you, rebuild a kernel with the line: config kernel root on wd2 in it. If it doesn't make that behavior the default, try renaming your wd2 drive to wd1 (again, in the kernel config file, and also change /etc/fstab). You may also search the archives for more detailed descriptions of the solution as this problem was answered many times before.

First, I suggest getting the excellent book: Managing uucp and Usenet from O'Reilly and associates (see O'Reilly's home page for ordering information.) They explain how to do this in a really understandable fashion. However, the current issue doesn't address Taylor UUCP (which is the UUCP FreeBSD uses) so, the UUCP configuration files will be different. It sounds like you've already got that covered. Now, if you don't want to get that involved and simply want to copy these files around; you need to look into the "uucp" command itself. This will explain how to copy the files in a manner that I think will help you (man uucp). Remember uucp stands for Unix to Unix CoPy. I'd imagine you can set up a cron job to simply issue the appropriate uucp command every now-and-then. - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 6 05:20:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA18203 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 05:20:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from dg-rtp.dg.com (dg-rtp.rtp.dg.com [128.222.1.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA18175 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 05:20:40 -0800 (PST) Received: by dg-rtp.dg.com (5.4R3.10/dg-rtp-v02) id AA17593; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 08:20:06 -0500 Received: from ponds by dg-rtp.dg.com.rtp.dg.com; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 08:20 EST Received: from lakes.water.net (lakes [10.0.0.3]) by ponds.water.net (8.8.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA03466; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 06:39:55 -0500 (EST) Received: (from rivers@localhost) by lakes.water.net (8.8.3/8.6.9) id GAA06439; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 06:45:36 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 06:45:36 -0500 (EST) From: Thomas David Rivers Message-Id: <199703061145.GAA06439@lakes.water.net> To: ponds!eeyore.lv-hrc.nevada.edu!doon, ponds!freebsd.org!freebsd-questions, ponds!frii.com!gnat Subject: Re: 2.1.5->2.1.7 causes SCSI errors?

I'm happy to say that I've tested 2.2-GAMMA (around last Jan.) and found that the panic part of the problem had gone away. I still got mysterious messages about restarting the SCSI bus, etc... but the machine recovered. You might also experience spontaneous SCSI lock-outs at that time. You might want to give 2.2-GAMMA a try and see what behaviour you see. Also, a quick perusal of the mail archives (look for SCSI in the subject) will relate my findings. - Dave Rivers - > > Thanks > > Harry Reed > > ---------- > > From: Nathan Torkington > > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > Subject: 2.1.5->2.1.7 causes SCSI errors? > > Date: Wednesday, March 05, 1997 9:26 AM > > > > Our news machine worked just fine under 2.1.5, but barfed miserably > > when upgraded to 2.1.7.

The first time I installed I told the program not to mess with the MBR. I was not able to boot FreeBSD. Even System Commander would not boot it. The second time I installed I told the program to install on the MBR. I was able to boot FreeBSD but nothing else. I boot DOS from floppy, reinstalled System Commander and it found the partition with FreeBSD but could not boot it. System Commander just gave the error "Read Error" and halted. Now I want to try and install booteasy (FreeBSD default bootloader) during the install of FreeBSD. I searched the mail archives and found reference to someone doing this and then installing SysCom and it worked. Finally, my question. Installing from a DOS partiton as C:\freebsd\bin where do I put the bootloader file(s) so the install program will find them?

Jordan keeps making the point that you will need a *full* CVS repository online to do this, but it is not the case. A little examination of /usr/src/release/Makefile will show that you don't need a full CVS repository if you define RELEASENOUPDATE. You don't even have to make world if you use "make rerelease" rather than "make release".

Just look at /usr/src/release/Makefile. I repeat, you do not need a full CVS repository to build a release. (This as of 2.1.5, I haven't looked at this for 2.1.6 upward). Even if it were the case that the release process were made more complicated, note that nothing stops you from adding targets to /usr/src/release/Makefile that make it do what you want. Stick a little script in /usr/src/release that sets up the environment the way you want it, does the appropriate make, execute it, and you're there. -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 6 07:40:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA24742 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 07:40:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.crl.com (mail.crl.com [165.113.1.22]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id HAA24717 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 07:40:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from freepass.tu-graz.ac.at by mail.crl.com with SMTP id AA22386 (5.65c/IDA-1.5 for ); Thu, 6 Mar 1997 07:39:21 -0800 Received: (from mdgrosse@localhost) by freepass.tu-graz.ac.at (8.6.11/8.6.9) id QAA27120; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 16:31:42 +0100 Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 16:31:42 +0100 (MET) From: MICHAEL GROSS X-Sender: mdgrosse@freepass.tu-graz.ac.at To: Terry Eck Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Install Bootloader Question In-Reply-To: <9703061428.AA00330@sc10.dseg.ti.com> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello So far I know you can install FreeBSD with or without Boot-Manager. If you don't have a Boot-Manager you have to choos the OS you want to start by activating the correct patition. You can do that with fdisk. The DOS-fdisk is very easy to use. The FreeBSD fdisk you have to start with the "-a" option and then choose the correct patition (depending on how you have installed FreeBSD that is eg. 0 or 1). I hope that helps.

We had a severe security breah and decided to move up to a more secure, robust OS - FreeBSD :} Went to install 2.1.6 and out 2940 gave out the strange messages all without even cycling power on the box! Had to put in an old spare 1542B. Do we have a case where an old, crusty version of Linux can do something that FBSD 2.1.6 can't???? 10 * :} - that's a joke son, I say, that's a joke!!!! While I would not say that FBSD broke our 2940 :), but it seems like it! I would like to go back to our 2940, but until I have an idea what went wrong I can't justify too much downtime just for tinkering when the 1542 works. cheers, Harry Reed From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 6 08:16:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA26309 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 08:16:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from xmission.xmission.com (softweyr@xmission.xmission.com [198.60.22.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA26304 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 08:16:27 -0800 (PST) Received: (from softweyr@localhost) by xmission.xmission.com (8.8.5/8.7.5) id JAA25990; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 09:13:11 -0700 (MST) From: Softweyr LLC Message-Id: <199703061613.JAA25990@xmission.xmission.com> Subject: Re: dos+freebsd network To: vitok@fasts.com (Victor Rotanov) Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 09:13:10 -0700 (MST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <331EE06D.2B32@fasts.com> from "Victor Rotanov" at Mar 6, 97 05:19:09 pm 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 > Is there any way to share freebsd directories as dos drives and vice > versa? Sure, there are two: NFS and SMB. NFS is the classical UNIX approach to sharing files over a network; every system has the ability to share files (NFS server) or mount files from another system (NFS client). The code is included in FreeBSD, as it is with most UNIX systems, and works quite well. For DOS or Windows, you'll have to buy an NFS client, and NFS servers are not generally availble, except for WinNT. The other solution is SMB, also known as Microsoft LAN Manager or "Windows file sharing." Client and server are both included in Win95, WinNT, and Windows for Wankers. On the FreeBSD side, you'll need to install Samba from the packages distribution, which will let your FreeBSD machine become an SMB server. You can also share printers over the network. Samba includes printer sharing in both directions, i.e. UNIX->PC and PC->UNIX; most PC NFS solutions allow the PCs to use printers attached to the UNIX system. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

It makes editing the files much easier. No, but you don't really need one since you don't need to lock the files while editing. All vipw adds to vi is to lock the passwd database while you're editing; these locks are not supported with NIS. If you're using NIS/yp for serious work, I suggest getting the O'Reilly book _Administering NIS and NFS_, it has some pretty valuable information for setting up working NIS domains. The commands may not be 100% correct for the FreeBSD implementation, but with the help of the man pages, most of the mysteries of NIS should be revealed. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

To say the least, it could be cheaper -- you can use Eudora and other free mail clients if you install pop on your mail server. Check licensing though, it may be different for commercial environments. I do know that a SMTP <-> CC:Mail gateway exists, we have one running here at the UO. CC:Mail is an old throwback that some departments don't want to discard, everyone else uses pine or eudora, so we've had to hack them into the existing system. Of course, it costs $$$, and unless everyone on cc:mail is ready to dump it (don't count on it!), you might consider buying the gateway. > If the answer is yes surely this has to a very stable and fast solution > for every LAN mail system?

I've never seen the specifications to Tripp-Lite devices, and the existing upsd only has bits for the APC units. If you can convince Tripp-Lite to send the signalling specs, the upsd author may be able to get them into the program. the program in question is at ftp://ftp.ww.net/pub/wildwind/upsd.

Make sure you install the 2.1.x package (in ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.1.7/shells/) instead of the '-current' package. I'll reiterate that you can fix this by putting '-s' on teh boot: prompt, which will get you single user mode and the sh shell. Copy /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 to libc.so.3.0, type 'exit' and you should be up and running again. > Mark Rollings > Systems Administrator > TelCentral Internet > www.telcentral.net That's where that came from!

Make a small script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ with this as the contents: #!/bin/sh ldconfig -m /compat/lib if you're on 2.1.5 or earlier, you can modify /etc/rc and find the section that configures the ldconfig paths.

Yes, it's possible it's sucking in some old headers from /usr/include.

The date and time for X logins is almost invariably recorded as December 31 at 7:00 p.m., as in the sample 'last' output below. I have seen a few examples with different times, and a few that were garbled (various non-standard characters, control characters, etc.).

I am running 2.2-970227-GAMMA on an old DEC-PC 433. It has the adaptec 152x chip on the motherboard and and the DE100 ethernet card on the motherboard. I did an ftp install from 22gamma.freebsd.org and all went well with the install after I disconnected my external SCSI devices. When those devices were connected, the kernel would not boot. It would instead hang on probing the SCSI bus and keep timing out. This happened even if only one external device was connected. When I disconnected the external cable from the main box, the kernel came up and discovered the internal SCSI drive and I continued with the install. Now that the network is up I am getting tons of these messages: arplookup 16.64.16.97 failed: host is not on local network arplookup 16.64.0.39 failed: host is not on local network arplookup 16.64.16.97 failed: host is not on local network arplookup 16.64.0.1 failed: host is not on local network Can I get a clue about where to look for the problem?

Compile this small program: #include main() { char buf[1]; puts("Enter lots of text and press enter:"); gets(buf); } Run it, and follow instructions. This will usually crash an MS-DOS machine, and it crashed the pty driver on one version of unix I tried it on (it was awhile ago, and I don't remember which machine it happened on). I had to telnet in from another box, and kill the processes attached to that terminal so it would log out and reset.

This system has a 12.1" screen (800x600). I talked to someone recently who ran this on the same AST Ascentia P50 but with a 11.3" screen and said he had no problems. (Surprisingly, he even had no problems running XFree86 3.1.2 on this eventhough it uses a GD7543 video chip which wasn't supported until 3.2 and even then supposedly still has some problems. He even tells me his system uses the same video chip. He tells me he used a compatible config and I have a copy of his config file.) This sounds good but I'm hesitating because I can't find any company which would allow me to return the system if it didn't work out. So... Given that someone has already run this on an AST Ascentia P50 with a smaller screen, what's the chance of my having problems on this newer model with a larger screen? I'm worried about possible minor changes in things like CDROM controllers, memory cache chips, etc. What do you think? /raj From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 6 18:33:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA03313 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 18:33:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from netcom22.netcom.com (sauber@netcom22.netcom.com [192.100.81.136]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA03308 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 18:33:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (sauber@localhost) by netcom22.netcom.com (8.6.13/Netcom) id SAA10706; Thu, 6 Mar 1997 18:33:50 -0800 Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 18:33:49 -0800 (PST) From: Soren Dossing X-Sender: sauber@netcom22 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: rexecd Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I did not find a port of webstone anywhere, so I am trying to make one.

You don't - the bootloader is built into the installation program itself, and will be written out when you write the partition information to the disk (assuming that you also specified that a boot manager be used in the appropriate menu when it came up).

The exception is the few priviledged users who have static IPs. This is driving me nuts. I don't see anything in the list archives, either. If I use the options.ttydX files, it is read after the command line, options file, etc, and so forces the user to use that address (regardless of what addresses are specified for that user in pap-secrets when using PAP, incidentally). If I use no "default" IP number in options or options.ttydX, and have the static IP users listed in pap-secrets, with a generic line for other users, it works, but the user has to specify the IP address from their end. If they don't specify an address, PPPd doesn't volunteer one, essentally. Has anyone ever done something like this? I can't specify a single address in options and override with ~/.ppprc, either, because then it doesn't change by tty, and ~/.ppprc is read before options.ttydX.... Hmm Ian and I are going to have to hack the ppp source somehow to get this to work if there isn't already a way to do it. If it isn't already there, we will make it clean and provide a diff, because this is something that really should be possible without a lot of fuss. Later......

Well, I appreciate the humor, but trust me when I say that non-functioning FreeBSD systems are no joke to us! :-) Did any previous release of FreeBSD work on this hardware? Some changes were made to the Adaptec 2940 driver to in order to deal with performance issues with the newer drives which support tagged queueing and other nice features we weren't taking full advantage of. Now that we do, however, it appears that some previously working systems are now falling over. Cal you tell us a little more about this system and its attached drives, keeping Justin Gibbs on the Cc line? Thanks! Maybe we can figure out what broke and release a patch to 2.1.7.

Hmm I don't know your exact setup, but if you call pppd from a script, you can have that same script check a file to determine the proper IP to assign. It's a fairly straight forward task in perl. Just create a file like: user1 www.xxx.yyy.aaa user2 www.xxx.yyy.bbb ttyd0 www.xxx.yyy.zzz ttyd1 www.xxx.yyy.zz1 ... Put the users first, the ttys last. then have your script stop at the first match (either user or tty), and assign the IP from that file. You can expand on this to allow for users that require special configurations and whatnot. I used something like this for a while, and it worked rather well. grab a file called ppplogin or some such.

Perhaps I shouldn't answer this, but I think I will anyways. on ftp.freebsd.org, look in /pub/FreeBSD for extensive help on installing FreeBSD, check out http://www.freebsd.org -- It's got more information than you need for a beginner. Both FreeBSD and Linux are 32 bit operating systems, they both run on the i386 platform (80396, 80486, pentium, pentiumpro). Linux runs on several other platforms as well. The biggest difference in the two, is probably religious. If you want to know more, read through several usenet archives. Two groups to look at are: comp.os.linux.misc comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc (correct me here, I ain't used the full name for a while :) Dos is a completely different operating system all together, it is 16bit at best, and is needed for either win3.x or win95. There is however, a couple emulators out there. While they don't support all dos/windows software, they are getting better all the time.

Why should this be if buf was only declared to be char[1]? Is it because gets is allowing me to put characters into memory sequentially and then when buf (pointer to the first character of array, buf[0]) is returned via puts, I get everything until the first newline? Or does SunOS have its own implementation of gets()/puts()? Incidentally, I don't get the warning message from SunOS. You mentioned gets() creates problems and security holes with setuid programs. Given the result in the above paragraph from SunOS, is it reasonable to assume that a non setuid program that uses gets() on SunOS is reasonably safe if the program is well written? Or is there much more involved here? Lastly, is the fgets() function call the much better (and safer) choice to get a line from stream? Since it reads 'at most n chars' from stream, I presume it is safer due to more controllable boundary conditions. Am I correct? Thank You, J.

Compile this small program: #include main() { char buf[1]; puts("Enter lots of text and press enter:"); gets(buf); } Run it, and follow instructions. This will usually crash an MS-DOS machine, and it crashed the pty driver on one version of unix I tried it on (it was awhile ago, and I don't remember which machine it happened on). I had to telnet in from another box, and kill the processes attached to that terminal so it would log out and reset. This sort of programming has been the cause of far too many security holes in sendmail and many other setuid programs. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the only | is unwelcome.

I plan to upgrade two or three FreeBSD 2.1.x servers to 2.1.7, but each is located on a different place, and due to timetable reasons it is difficult for me to upgrade the machines by staying physically there at the console. My question is: would it be possible to upgrade the systems without the usual floppy-reboot procedure ? I mean, something like killing every unnecessary process, then replacing the kernel on the disk (like when you build a new one), then installing the distributions using the install.sh scripts, and rebooting. I understand that there are no boot/disk geometry variations among the 2.1.x releases, so I would appreciate to learn what I'm missing if it cannot be done. I know that any such approach would have its risks, but I always could proceed the ordinary way if something goes wrong.

By downloading all the desired 2.1.7 bin archives to a DOS partition in advance, the reinstallation was over in 15-20 minutes - FreeBSD is the most amazing OS i have ever seen in its installation procedure.

Metcalf" writes: > Thank You for the reply Zach, > I just wrote the following on a sun4 Change the program to this, and you'll see what I mean. For some reason, FreeBSD starts beeping after 1024 characters. It takes 9 characters to make it core-dump on FreeBSD. You only have to type 1 character (and enter) to see the effects. #include #define PRINT(x) printf( #x " = %d\n", (x)) main() { int before = 8; /* number doesn't matter, I tried to hit an ASCII * value you are unlikely to enter on a keyboard. */ char buf[1]; int after = 8; PRINT(before); PRINT(after); puts("Enter lots of text and press enter:"); gets(buf); puts("\n"); PRINT(before); PRINT(after); puts(buf); before=0; after=0; puts(buf); } That should show the problem up for sure. It does for FreeBSD anyway... > Entering a huge line of text results in the _exact_ same huge line > of text on stdout. Hardly surprising.. You obviously did not enter enough text to overwrite important parts of the stack. The program modified as above should show the problem better. (SunOS might have different data and return stacks?). > Why should this be if buf was only declared to be char[1]? Is it > because gets is allowing me to put characters into memory > sequentially and then when buf (pointer to the first character of > array, buf[0]) is returned via puts, I get everything until the > first newline? Or does SunOS have its own implementation of > gets()/puts()? Incidentally, I don't get the warning message from > SunOS. See, the problem is gets() has no clue how big the chunk of memory is that you passed to it. It will happily write characters until either the program crashes or it reads a newline. > You mentioned gets() creates problems and security holes with > setuid programs. Given the result in the above paragraph from > SunOS, is it reasonable to assume that a non setuid program that > uses gets() on SunOS is reasonably safe if the program is well > written? Or is there much more involved here? Since you the program writer won't have control over the input, it is impossible to create a "well-written program" using gets(). Even toy programs that write to a temporary file, and use gets() to read it back in have a race condition (some other program can change the file before we read it back). You may be able to get away with using gets() in a throwaway program, but definately do not use it for anything serious. > Lastly, is the fgets() function call the much better (and safer) > choice to get a line from stream? Since it reads 'at most n > chars' from stream, I presume it is safer due to more controllable > boundary conditions. Am I correct? Exactly, use fgets() and hack off the trailing '\n' if you don't need/want it. Just be careful there too, since there might not be a trailing '\n'. You might want to use something similar to: char input[64], *nlptr; while (fgets(input, sizeof input, stdin)) { if ((nlptr = strchr(input, '\n'))) *nlptr = 0; /* do more stuff */ } -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the only | is unwelcome.

They sent an arp request directly to my machine asking who it was, since to my routing tables the machine sending the request was on not on a direct route, I got that message in the syslog. When I set up static routes to those subnets, the messages went away. I have a 10M tcpdump which I took to isolate a few arp and icmp packets. :-) Thanks. -Reggie From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 7 19:50:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA15208 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Mar 1997 19:50:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA15180 for ; Fri, 7 Mar 1997 19:50:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from okeefe.bestweb.net (okeefe.bestweb.net [208.197.0.5]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id QAA01736 for ; Fri, 7 Mar 1997 16:07:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from mark.bestweb.net (kandinsky.bestweb.net [208.197.0.26]) by okeefe.bestweb.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA02719 for ; Fri, 7 Mar 1997 19:06:18 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199703080006.TAA02719@okeefe.bestweb.net> From: "Mark Dickey" To: Subject: Questions Date: Fri, 7 Mar 1997 19:02:01 -0800 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to run FreeBSD on my PC.

The lpd is dying on signal 11. ok. Seems like a hardware problem... memory or disk with bad block on it.

Keep in mind that all your system needs to be able to do is keep up with the ethernet card running at 1 megabyte/sec. Unless you're using a 100Base-TX network, any old Pentium 100 with 16 or 32 Megs RAM and an IDE drive big enough to hold a basic installation of FreeBSD (say 200 megs) plus your mail spool will probably handle the load just fine.

You can treat the 'raw' floppy device as if it is a tape drive, and use typically UNIX tape tools to read/write, such as tar, cpio, and pax. For instance, to copy the current directory onto a floppy to take home at night: (put the floppy in the drive) tar cvf /dev/rfd0 . (take the floppy home with you) To read it when you get home: (put the floppy in the drive at home) tar xvf /dev/rfd0 You don't have to mount or unmount it. This should work particularly well with Zip drives. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

While we are at it: Is there a program that allows setting of the PW field in /var/yp/master.passwd ?

Does the SB16 work in FreeBSD? I have SB16 PnP working fine on 2.1.5 - but I've never had any luck with Sportster modems (this is a general problem not BSD specific). Use the out of box setting on the SB16 PnP to recompile your kernel unless you know for sure that there is a conflict.

Yeah, but you can't buy 486s anymore (at least in the US). I'd have gone with a cheap PCI motherboard and a K5/75, since those are now available for about $25 around here.

I'm Cc:'ing this to questions@freebsd.org because and earlier query there didn't contain as much information as I've gathered into this post. I have a problem with an HP DeskJet 600C that was working until yesterday. Background: When I first began setting the printer up (on FreeBSD 2.1.0, later 2.1.5) I had a problem with it being *very* slow. A query to the net provided the information that it doesn't work properly with an interrupt-driven lpt port so I switched to polled mode and it's been working OK. I wrote a very simple input filter script using the information in the handbook and it has been able to handle ordinary text files and postscript using ghostscript (albeit, in the later case, the fonts leave something to be desired). Until now. :( Yesterday, I tried to print two files, both simple text files. The first printed; the second did not. The following error message was printed to the console window: pid 96 (lpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 The printer still works under W95. I've been told that W95 and its ilk don't use as much of a device's capabilities as does FreeBSD but I don't know what FBSD uses that W95 does not so it's difficult to know where to look. The system uses an ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 mother board (at least that's what the mother-board manual says), Adaptec 2940 SCSI host adapter, etc. (see appended dmesg output). The dmesg output will show a second parallel port--an experiment with a very old borrowed I/O board, the only thing I could find, but even W95 didn't like that one--complained about being unable to establish bidirectional communication--so that didn't tell me anything.

The target system is a UMC based 486 PCI motherboard, 16M RAM, NE2000 NIC, Tseng SVGA, Adaptec 1542C SCSI controller, Toshiba 3401 SCSI CD-ROM and single Conner hard drive. I'll note here that the Adaptec controller is *very* old; the BIOS is 1.01 and the board does *not* support Fast SCSI. The kernel loads successfully for both CD-ROM and floppy install; all hardware appears to be detected correctly. I choose the Novice install, Entire disk (I've tried both "true partition geometry" and not), BootMgr, Auto defaults and CD-ROM. After confirming that I wish to proceed, the install program says "Writing partition information to drive sd0". At this point, my drive activity LED lights and stays on. Soon thereafter, I get the message "sysinstall: write: Input/output error" "Panic: going nowhere without my init" The install program was able to write to the SCSI drive well enough to wipe out my original DOS partitioning (at my request). I have done a low-level format on the drive and checked for bad blocks, too. The disk and controller had been running on an NT system for about three years with no problems I know of. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Does the SB16 work in FreeBSD? FreeBSD doesn't explicitly support PnP at curent, but a project to add it in exists. Check the mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org/ under "Search". Except for the GUS PnP sound cards, I highly suggest staying as far away from PnP as possible.
