On the Walnut Creek Distribution 2.1 CD, the text file "/floppies/readme.text": "If you're using an IDE CDROM, try atapi.flp instead of boot.flp. This contains an ALPHA QUALITY ATAPI driver that may or may not work for you. Also make sure that your CDROM is jumpered as a "master" device, rather than the "slave" device that many come configured as." The alpha quality issues and caveats of the atapi driver are noted. I am , however, confused on the apparent conflict of the master/ slave jumpering . Which should it be? Currently , the CD ROM is ( apparently) configured as master, answering to the probe by the boot floppy at wdc0, and apparently happy. I would like to be a bit surer that this really means "no problem" before I install, given the above conflict. Response is appreciated. Guy F.

Here's what the entry says: If someone requests the IP address for 202.Avirtual2.com I really need to look up the IP address for 202.184.153.99 So now I'll issue a request to the roots for the domain .99 to get their name servers. Naturally the roots will respond with NXDOMAIN. Basically, this line is _probably_ never referenced unless the previous admin was doing something really dumb. But, if it is, your going to be wasting time and bandwidth (yours and the root name server's) looking up something that will never be found.

The ifconfig statement for the non-aliased IP already setup the route. The alias entry sets up a host route, that's all you need.

Now I have a Linux notebook I'd like to hook to my desktop FreeBSD box via PLIP. The desktop box is 2.1.0. I swiped 'lpt.c' from the 2.1.7 distribution (which, according to the comments, now has a Linux compatability mode) and made a new kernel. Doing something like ifconfig lp0 link0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 doesn't do the trick. Looking at the "plip" device on the Linux box I can see the "packets received" count going up, matching the pings I'm sending from the FreeBSD box. However, the pings are never successfully returned. The same notebook running FreeBSD worked fine, so it's not a hardware problem. I'm pretty new with linux, do I need to do anything more than ifconfig plip1 pointopoint 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 to get it running? The linux box doesn't seem to recognize the plip device as functional, I can neither send pings to the FreeBSD box (no route to host) or add a route. Still, since the "packets received" counter is going up *something* seems to be happening... - Mike From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 9 14:38:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA17181 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Mar 1997 14:38:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from train.tgci.com ([205.185.169.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA17176 for ; Sun, 9 Mar 1997 14:38:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from emilyd ([206.250.85.68]) by train.tgci.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id OAA03978 for ; Sun, 9 Mar 1997 14:46:07 -0800 Message-Id: <199703092246.OAA03978@train.tgci.com> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Riley J.

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.

There is no FreeBSD-specific ELF format, however Linux ELF binaries are supported when the linuxulator is loaded.

My question is, has anyone recently used user ppp to connect to worldnet? The pedantic primer says the example config was tested on worldnet, but it's not working for me. The best I can make out from the log is that I'm getting a chap failure. I confess that I'm ignorant about chap, so it could be something stupid. I have also tried the ppp.conf.sample and iij to no avail. Which of these is the closest thing to something that might work? I'm really not looking for somebody to spend a lot of time with a huge answer (because I'll probably switch ISP's), but if someone has used this with worldnet recently, an example config would be cool. (Besides, I thought it was interesting that they were so uncooperative. They think I'm gonna let all my buddies hook to the net through my machine I guess.)

Which should it be? Probably both sources are wrong :-). The only thing I can say is, I installed from 2.1 CD with atapi.flp. HD was master and CD was slave on the primary IDE channel.

Actually, FreeBSD supports its own native ELF format (using John Polstra's Elfkit) and Linux's. Since Linux doesn't stamp their ID on their own elf binaries, you also need to "brand" them with elfbrand if you're using a mix of both FreeBSD and Linux ELF binaries.

I try to install FreeBSD and succeeded in it basics. Now I want to post-install LYNX, APACHE and SAMBA. I grabbed them as packages (not ports), respectively lynx-2.6.tgz apache-1.1.1.tgz samba-1.9.15p8.tgz They were palced in the DOS partition as lynx.tgz apache.tgz samba.tgz The sysinstall was tuned to DOS, but it refused to recognize them with a remark it needs also packages/INDEX. Please help me. My questions are: 1. Must I unpack these .tgz files? 2. Where have I to place these files in the DOS partition and how can I make sysinstall to see them? 3. If I need to install some other packages what kind of procedure I have to use instead of sysinstall? Thank you in advance. Best regards Velian G.

And I've got a couple of questions. ASUS is the recommended (more or less) MB of FreeBSD. But I'm leaning toward the Gigabyte 586HX (4PCI/4ISA and 6 Simm slots). The advantage the ASUS P55T2P4 has is NCR SCSI bios and the mediaslot(maybe?). 1) I currently use a 1542B with EZ-SCSI software on Windows 95. I need to be able to backup Windows as well as FreeBSD. I have a HP 4mm drive, which works great. Does the SC200 (Symbios/NCR 810) have and windows software? 2) What's the media slot buy me? I'm leary of proprietary slots, yes I know it can be used as a regular PCI slot. Lastly, AMD, Cyrix or Intel. I can get a AMD 5K86-P133 for $89. Man, that's tempting.

The main installation went fine, but I cannot get the packages to install. The error message is "Unable to fetch package from selected media. No package add will be done." I think it is a path thing. The NT server is set up with an alias named "2.1.5-RELEASE" that points to the root of the cd-rom drive. I have also tried with the alias pointing to the packages directory, etc. What is the directory structure supposed to look like for ftp? If it found the bin directory ok, why can't it find the packages directory? Should this installation method be able to work?

Uucp chat sequences that worked under 2.1 fail under 2.1.6. I believe the problem is related to the OS and may lie with the serial I/O driver. I'm looking for any advice that might narrow my search for a solution. The problem can be shown with either uucico or cu. In both cases I can connect to my local (internal) modem, dial out, and connect to the remote modem. Then I am connected, perhaps via a terminal server, to a login prompt on a SunOS 4.1 box. At that point, only under 2.1.6, the login/password strings sent by my box seemingly disappear. Duplicating the same sequence by hand works just fine. After much trial and error I eliminated configuration and hardware issues as possible culprits. My test situation now is to use the same hardware with two different boot disks; the first boots 2.1.6 on a normal SCSI disk while the second boots 2.1 on a removable SCSI MO disk. Taylor uucp appears to be the same for both releases. The hardware is the same. I use the same chat sequences. I'm left concluding that the behavior of the cuaa device has changed. I haven't started comparing the sio driver code yet, but even if I can regress to an earlier release of the driver, that is not a good way to fix things. Especially if the sio driver has been enhanced to be more sensitive to something instead of being broken. Any advice or recommendations that people care to share would be appreciated. Thank you, Scott P.S. Btw, I've searched the 2.1.6 FAQ and Handbook. I tried searching the mailing list archives to no avail. There don't seem to be any open problem reports that match. I thought I used to be able to access the cvs logs on www.FreeBSD.org; but either I could not find the service or it is no longer available. -- Scott Bolte scottb@mei.com Marquette Medical Systems As anyone here will tell you: I speak for myself.

Simply copy the .tgz file for your package of choice to your FreeBSD machine, and then do "pkg_add " as root. See man pkg_add > > What is the directory structure supposed to look like for ftp?

Hm. It appears something dies during the PPP connection. If your boot floppy image boot.flp is dated sometime in February, try grabbing the latest boot.flp image. Some updates were made to ppp that should make it more stable. If you can, try doing the DOS filesystem install described in INSTALL.TXT. That would take PPP out of it.

My guess would be Compaq wierdness. You may be afflicted with the same bug as someone else here. Try rebuilding your kernel with options "MAXMEM=32768" and see if that helps.

Change your su command to be: su -m This will preserve your environment and shell for the root process. I do this with my csh derviative with the command alias su 'su -m' in my .cshrc. See the bash man page for proper command syntax, and you'll want to put it in your .profile or .bashrc so it's automatically loaded in every shell.

Really :) Actually you are right, I somehow didn't see the 'alias' on the second line and didn't know that you could change the netmask for an alias.

True, but I think some one mentioned that it has a place in the sysconfig for aliases so you don't have to add lines to the netstart by hand. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.

To give you a little background, I maintain a small network of FreeBSD, OS/2, Linux, Windows 3.11, Windows NT, and Windows 95 systems and also work on HP 9000, RS/6000, Sun Sparcstations, and SGI Indys at a few places, which has given me some perspective about this. Quite honestly, professionals do not do a particularly good job; I remember home directories NFS mounted on /tmp_mnt for months on end; I remember tcsh vanishing or moving occasionally, screwing things up, etc. I've not seen anything that more expensive commercial operating systems have that FreeBSD doesn't, except maybe a bunch of useless printed documentation. FreeBSD seems to be easy to support, the man pages are helpful, apropos works (it doesn't on a RS/6000 I know of) and there is a structured way you can ask questions of other experienced FreeBSD sysadmins. FreeBSD is also cheap which makes me happy. If you decide each department in your organazation needs its own UNIX server, you are not out $30,000 a crack in hardware. Likewise since FreeBSD is based on IBM PC archtecture, hardward support and parts are more available that with some commercial vendors. To get yourself started, I'd guess that you'll need some serious time to get used to maintaining UNIX systems. You'll probably need a spare FreeBSD box to run experiments on. However, you typically need that with any vendor's equipment if there are more than a few users on a system. Because the hardware is so much cheaper, you can afford two systems, one to test and experiment on, and one for people doing real work. My opinion is that FreeBSD is perfectly capable of doing the things that you want it to, and if you spend enough time with a few (okay, many books) you certainly can become a UNIX guru and have a cool free software based network. You can also use FreeBSD as a file server for windows and macintosh clients using software like samba and CAP. I'm experimenting with samba and haven't had an opportunity to try out CAP (yet).

However, my ISP decided NEWNEWS was consuming too many server cycles, and decided to disallow it. Does someone have suggestions for an alternative method which will fetch new news articles (based on a timestamp and a list of newsgroups) and inject them into a local news server? - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 10 18:28:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA19565 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 10 Mar 1997 18:28:23 -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 SAA19558 for ; Mon, 10 Mar 1997 18:28:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id SAA01649; Mon, 10 Mar 1997 18:28:03 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 18:28:03 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Randy Katz cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Automating Adding POP User Accounts In-Reply-To: <330025CB.5EA0@ccsales.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 11 Feb 1997, Randy Katz wrote: > I'm trying to add, automatically, new users which have a single home > directory and a shell of /nonexistent.

Not peculiar, but certainly more stress over a shorter period than most machines seem to experience any other way. The `make world' is a well accepted quality-assurance test for most FreeBSD hardware vendors now, and I know that I certainly won't check off a box as "seaworthy" until it's passed two consecutive make worlds. Nowadays, with machines as fast as they are, I might even consider running 4 or 5 of them over a 24 hour period and test the thermal sensitivity of the system at the same time.

Thanks a lot > > Mauro Well, this is pretty much a FAQ and looking through the mail archives will give you a bunch of solutions. Basically: give 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt (this is assuming 2.1.7, don't know about other versions...). You will also need a new kernel, so you should download and install (at least) the kernel sources distribution as well once you get your system up and running for the first time. You can find teh kernel sources as ssys.* in the src directory. Once you get that either: 1. Build a kernel with the line "config kernel root on wd2" in it or: 2. Rename your disk in the kernel config file so that it is called wd1 and modify /etc/fstab. This should make the boot succeed with the default settings.

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, I have recently downloaded FreeBSD Release 2.1.7 from ftp.freebsd.org Installation process was very easy :) Everything was just fine until I find out that I couldn't start Xwindows because PS/2 mouse was not detected. So I compiled the kernel (I followed the istruction given in your home page). It works !! I can run Xwindows and Netscape too ! Then one day there was a sudden power failure. When I on the server again I couldn't login. The login prompt won't allow me to type anything. I have to telnet from other machine in order to get into my server. Therefore I later tried to boot the server using kernel.GENERIC and I can login again but of course the PS/2 mouse was disabled. Xwindows wasn;t my priority so I decided to solve it later on. The next thing that I did was changing the IP address of my server because I have to move it to another subnet (I edited the /etc/sysconfig file). .. rebooted the system. During the boot-up process the machine has to wait for quite a long time when it reaches netstart process. I'm very sure there is nothing wrong with my router configuration and connection because I have other machines (NT, Linux and BSDI) running on the same subnet. Anyway the boot-up process continued until I got the login prompt. I logged in and tried to ping to the gateway. It works .. Unfortunately this is not the real headache. The system is very intermittent. After leaving the machine for a while i couldn't ping anymore except to itself. So I rebooted the system and depending on my luck, I can ping and sometimes I can't ping at all. I really have no idea where the problems might have come from. What's your suggestion ? Pls help me as I really need to get this server up and running soonest possible..

The login prompt won't allow me to type anything. I Reinstall this system completely and format the hard drives while you're at it, just to be safe. If there was a power failure and the machine stopped working the way it used to, then that's a sure sign that "something" got deleted or corrupted in the process, and ince figuring out what that "something" might have been could take you anywhere from a day to a month, it's a lot faster to simply back up your important files and install it again.

Now another thing (rather important) - my fvwm is unable to start, and reports the following error: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.6" I can't find that library anywhere, not even in the XFree install packages? So 'startx' launches twm instead.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This weekend, while trying to convert a 100M dos partition to swap space on a -current (before Lite/2) machine using the sysinstall method, I destroyed both my / and /usr partitions. No problem! I had just dumped / and /usr to a tape only 3 hours ago. (Or so I though.) After using "restore" to reconstruction the file system, I noticed a few files were missing. Notably, some libraries (and Linux libraries also), the ".pinerc"'s of users who we probably reading their mail at the time, my bookmark.htm file, etc. My question: what happened to those files? After realizing the problem, I check the tape again. I looked in the my home director for .pinerc on the tape, and it was listed there, but when I tried to extract it, it said "/home/ghormann/.pinerc" is not on the tape. Does dump not back up open files? I didn't write to .pinerc (or the libs), during that time, but I did have pine open. How can I prevent this problem in the future? Greg.

Dave is of that era, so are others here (I gave away dozens of free feeds, so did _many_ others). 4) Find out the difference between "leach", the process, and "leech", the animal, and, finally, 5) The question was quite reasonable, and if I were still running a UUCP site, I'd offer him a long-distance feed. > > On Mon, 10 Mar 1997, Thomas David Rivers wrote: > > > > > > > Since there has been considerable discussion of FreeBSD and news > > lately, I thought I would ask my question of the forum to see > > if I can get an answer. > > > > I used to use the 'slurp' package (with a 'u' not an 'i') to do > > NEWNEWS commands on my ISPs newserver and inject the news into > > my local system... > > > > However, my ISP decided NEWNEWS was consuming too many server cycles, > > and decided to disallow it. > > > > Does someone have suggestions for an alternative method which will > > fetch new news articles (based on a timestamp and a list of newsgroups) > > and inject them into a local news server? > > > > - Thanks - > > - Dave Rivers - > > > > > > -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 11 10:31:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA27779 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 10:31:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from kave.iafrica.com (kave.iafrica.com [196.7.0.132]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA27763 for ; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 10:31:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from ricardow.iafrica.com [196.7.7.77] by kave.iafrica.com with smtp (Exim 1.59 #1) id 0w4WJZ-00040O-00; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 20:30:22 +0200 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970311202924.006c6898@ctpop01.iafrica.com> X-Sender: ricardow@ctpop01.iafrica.com (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 20:30:42 +0200 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Ricardo Williams Subject: XEarth position display query Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi I want to know how to give specific longitude and latitude settings to the X-Windows background image application XEarth.

You should really find a way to back up before doing this if there is information you don't want to loose on the disk. There is always the potential for some sort of distaster. You can find information on FIPS at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html, or the FIPS.DOC file in the source distribution in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/src or something like that (ftp.freebsd.org isn't responding at the moment so I can't check).

Perhaps I've broken something (more than likely I think). if you need gcc 2.7.*, upgrade to 2.2-GAMMA (or shortly, -RELEASE). We did the hard work for you. :) In the meantime, either your kernel source is broke or you upgraded your kernel source without updating the binaries. Try fetching ps from the Live Filesystem CD and rebuilding TOP, and/or reinstalling the kernel source (dists/src/ssys.*). Initial thoughts, at least.

O.K, using slurp, which uses NEWNEWS can cause problems, but there are other programs that will do the same thing without using NEWNEWS. suck is one of them, and there is at least one other that I've heard of. They function like a newsreader, including keeping a history file of what message numbers in what groups have been downloaded, and using message-ID to only download crossposted messages once. Having a real newsfeed isn't an option for everyone, as we don't all have dedicated connections.

Some of these are new customers, some aren't; particularly the older customers have noticed a change, but I'm unable so far to pin it down to anything on the machine. There have been no changes to any running software that I'm aware of, and I can be dealing with a problem connection at the same time someone else is flying along -- there are seldom more than 3 connections at any one time. traceroute has turned up something noticeable, however: almost invariably the problem connections are a dozen or more hops away, and generally involve one of the coastal nightmares. They generally are also behind firewalls. Included are a couple of listings for the more buggy ones, along with one for Walnut Creek. I'm trying to figure out what I can fine-tune, or at least explain to these people, some of whom are beginning to look fondly back on modems (shudder). Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I'm still a little unclear (even after man traceroute) about the 3 time fields, and which one indicates the most likelihood of a problem. regards, larry firewall.bbrown.com (Burr Brown, Tucson AZ): 1 link.croute.com (199.97.106.222) 1.650 ms 1.542 ms 1.526 ms 2 dallas4.tx.isdn.psi.net (38.146.199.112) 29.729 ms 29.868 ms 29.730 ms 3 dallas2.tx.pop.psi.net (38.146.199.1) 31.296 ms 32.898 ms 32.541 ms 4 rc.sc.central.us.psi.net (38.1.22.1) 39.780 ms 278.659 ms 37.605 ms 5 east.ext.sc.psi.net (38.1.3.6) 102.694 ms 104.335 ms 103.039 ms 6 sl-mae-e2.sprintlink.net (192.41.177.242) 306.165 ms 480.195 ms 166.683 ms 7 sl-dc-1-H8/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.10.93) 105.587 ms 108.988 ms 110.667 ms 8 144.232.0.13 (144.232.0.13) 552.409 ms 310.367 ms 456.049 ms 9 144.232.0.9 (144.232.0.9) 386.917 ms 107.980 ms 122.532 ms 10 sl-fw-5-H4/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.10.18) 143.052 ms 143.635 ms 137.390 ms 11 sl-fw-6-F/T.sprintlink.net (208.12.128.6) 248.464 ms 152.467 ms 144.922 ms 12 sl-ana-14-H1/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.10.30) 173.060 ms 228.348 ms 404.544 ms 13 sl-ana-8-F0/0.sprintlink.net (144.228.70.8) 215.970 ms 148.111 ms * 14 sl-bbrown-2-s0-224k.sprintlink.net (144.228.78.90) 254.393 ms 327.979 ms 166.314 ms 15 firewall.bbrown.com (206.61.218.111) 185.102 ms 175.034 ms 386.681 ms atc.boeing.com (Boeing, Wichita KS): 1 link.croute.com (199.97.106.222) 1.745 ms 1.519 ms 1.489 ms 2 dallas4.tx.isdn.psi.net (38.146.199.112) 145.466 ms 40.331 ms 34.400 ms 3 dallas2.tx.pop.psi.net (38.146.199.1) 33.322 ms 32.004 ms 35.205 ms 4 rc.sc.central.us.psi.net (38.1.22.1) 36.621 ms 57.802 ms 35.220 ms 5 nw-ext.sc.psi.net (38.1.3.7) 78.967 ms 269.366 ms 124.649 ms 6 santa-clara.west.cix.net (149.20.64.1) 206.888 ms 167.843 ms 80.441 ms 7 sl-stk-5-S3/2-T1.sprintlink.net (149.20.4.2) 165.065 ms 217.003 ms * 8 * * * 9 * sl-sea-1-H2/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.10.58) 213.519 ms * 10 sl-sea-3-F0/0.sprintlink.net (144.228.90.3) 304.740 ms 219.233 ms * 11 sl-starwave-1-H0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.93.6) 311.543 ms * * 12 seabr3-gw.nwnet.net (204.200.9.7) 260.632 ms 256.748 ms 370.888 ms 13 * boeing-gw.nwnet.net (198.104.192.25) 210.604 ms * 14 * 130.42.228.1 (130.42.228.1) 228.159 ms * 15 * atc.boeing.com (130.42.28.80) 238.173 ms 397.173 ms Walnut Creek 1 link.croute.com (199.97.106.222) 17.083 ms 1.526 ms 1.552 ms 2 dallas4.tx.isdn.psi.net (38.146.199.112) 31.216 ms 29.581 ms 29.691 ms 3 dallas2.tx.pop.psi.net (38.146.199.1) 32.558 ms 32.943 ms 340.040 ms 4 rc.sc.central.us.psi.net (38.1.22.1) 66.077 ms 69.878 ms 205.812 ms 5 nw-ext.sc.psi.net (38.1.3.7) 97.479 ms 73.070 ms 128.073 ms 6 T3-CRL-SFO-01-H3/0.US.CRL.NET (149.20.64.19) 78.321 ms 80.694 ms 166.526 ms 7 wcarchive.cdrom.com (165.113.58.253) 254.695 ms 81.134 ms 77.432 ms From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 11 14:15:58 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA14074 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 14:15:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (quackerjack.cc.vt.edu [198.82.160.250]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA14066 for ; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 14:15:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from sable.cc.vt.edu (sable.cc.vt.edu [128.173.16.30]) by quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id RAA22571 for ; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 17:15:53 -0500 (EST) Received: from pw1.osf1.gmu.edu (asm4-1.sl114.cns.vt.edu [128.173.33.99]) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id RAA10766 for ; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 17:15:51 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970311171611.007bebc0@mail.vt.edu> X-Sender: clau@mail.vt.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 17:16:12 -0500 To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: Chun Lau Subject: Question about FreeBSD 2.1.6 installation Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I would like to install FreeBSD 2.1.6 onto my personal computer from the CD-ROM.

How does one set display fonts for the commandline? How does one set display fonts for an xterm? I have tried to use "xterm -fn fontname" but it seems that none of the standard fonts can be found. X therefore always reverts to "fixed." This is way to small for use within a 1024 display. The fonts that are listed in my fontpath are all zipped. Do I need to unzip them? It seems that this should not be necessary. "xfd" will not display a single font for me. It says something about "unable to convert to type FontStruct." Any other font related general info or redirection to the correct resources would be appreciated.

Concerns backups. I had been using *floppy* tape drive (colorado 250) and `ft' for doing backups. To me this had several disadvantages. Mainly, you could not do multiple-volume compressed backups to tape. Some time ago J"org mentioned a nifty pipe command: dump 0uBf 150000 - / | gzip | dd conv=osync | ft 'my compressed root';. This works great except you only do one dump per tape. I looked into `lft' and yikes, you can do multiple compressed dumps on a series of qic80 tapes. That's a fyi for those using floppy tapes. In the process of moving from ide to scsi I wanted to eliminate the floppy tape drive and use my new ezflyer scsi disk drive (like a scsi *Zip*) to do dumps. Tried `dump 0uaf - (fs) | gzip | dd conv=osync >(or >>) /dev/[r]sd3. This works for one dump within the one disk cartridge but not for multiple dumps to one cartridge (disk) and the sense for end-of-media to tell you to change tape (disk). Multiple dumps overwrite each other and going to the end of the disk aborts the dump. Any comments, suggestions, I hope, Tom ps: the `a' option is the autosense for end of tape; new feature. Tried the `B' option also, still didn't work. -- Tom Jackson Powered by FreeBSD toj@gorilla.net http://www.freebsd.org tjackson@tulsix.utulsa.edu "Out in the Ozone Again" From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 11 15:30:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA18874 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 15:30:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from chow.cisco.com (chow.cisco.com [171.69.1.204]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA18838 for ; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 15:29:59 -0800 (PST) From: raj@cisco.com Received: from rjohnson-home-ss20.cisco.com (rjohnson-home-ss20.cisco.com [171.69.113.50]) by chow.cisco.com (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id PAA14080 for ; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 15:28:53 -0800 Received: from [127.0.0.1] ([127.0.0.1]) by rjohnson-home-ss20.cisco.com (8.6.8+c/CISCO.WS.1.1) with SMTP id PAA25326 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 15:28:53 -0800 Message-Id: <199703112328.PAA25326@rjohnson-home-ss20.cisco.com> X-Authentication-Warning: rjohnson-home-ss20.cisco.com: Host [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Installing using 3COM Etherlink III PCMCIA card Date: Tue, 11 Mar 97 15:28:52 PST Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm having some problems getting the installation code to recognize my 3COM Etherlink III PCMCIA card.

It may be 3c5x9cfg, and is a DOS program on the EtherDisk. If you don't have it, you can fetch it from ftp.3com.com in some convoluted path that I won't repeat but should be intuitive. :) If you set zp0 to match and it doesn't work, try the other slot; if that's no go, make sure there are no conflicts with unsupported devices on the system.

To FreeBSD (AFAIK), if you stick a Zip disk in it on bootup, it thinks it's any other SCSI disk. Thus, you could point a DOS install at it, assuming you make a DOS-formatted disk. > I know there are drivers available for several distribution, but as far > as i know there are no distributions around yet which support installing > from Zip/Jazz. Oh, this works for the SCSI version on a supported SCSI controller only. The SCSI controller included with the zip may not be supported at current. I'd have to ask hackers.

I understand that it is part of the linker, but that doesn't help when the DOS C compilers don't understand it in their linkers. I have the sources or FreeBSD-2.1.0 on CDROM and have searched it for the getopt() source code. I imagine that it must be there somewhere, I just need to be told where. All that I have been able to find are function prototypes for getopt(), but not its base source code. I would also like to port the sources for warn, err, etc. Thank You, JM -- Jeffrey M.

I am most of the way through configuring a 2.2 machine to be a pppd termserver. I have everything working EXCEPT for the fact that the connected clients cannot reach anything outside my LAN, i.e. they are not accessing our router for the default route. I have looked through the pppd man pages, but the only references to routing I found were defaultroute (which adds a default route entry into the LOCAL machine's routing table through the ppp link--not what I need) and proxyarp, which I am using. Is there some specific way to tell the ppp client what default router to use, or should the server be dealing with the routing on its own. I am not running routed or gated right now; what conf file lines would I need to feed them if they are required? Thanks for any help you can offer.

It's also possible that your laptop's PCIC controller may not be compatible with the system. This must be a 3c589A, B, or C; the 3c589D rev is *not* supported.

But I have one severe problem: FreeBSD supports now NFS Version 3 which seems to be buggy. Especially using a FreeBSD machine as NFSV3 server and DEC-Alpha systems running Digital Unix as NFSV3 clients results in a very strange behaviour. I have no problem to mount file systems, there are no hangups or system crashes and at the first view everything seems to work. But if I do a 'ls' on a directory containg about 50 files or more I get an error message like .: Error 10003 occurred and the directory listing is incomplete and/or badly formatted. For small directories this seems to work, also if I force a NFSV2 mount. Access to the contents of regular files seem to work in both versions, but this I didn't test very much.

I have FreeBSD 2.1.5 and use the 'alias' modified user ppp (by Charles Mott, based on iijppp from 2.1.6) with a BitSURFR Pro at 64 kbps. Ever since I started using this combination, I have occasional problems with FCS (Frame Check Sequence) errors that drop the hardware connection to the ISP, but somehow iijppp does not detect it, thinking that it is still online (the prompt is 'www on PPP>' instead of 'www on ppp>'). As this is a nailed connection, the -ddial option does not get activated and thus, no reconnection. I have tried a number of different configurations for the BitSURFR Pro to no avail; I have also communicated with Charles regarding this and he tells me his modifications do not involve the HDLC layer, which is where the problem seems to be. The same iijppp setup on a USR Sportster 28.8 (internal) does not have this problem. The serial cable between the PC and the BitSURFR Pro is of very good quality and has been confirmed as correct with respect to pin connections, etc. The serial port is an older Boca 16550A card with no "intelligence", just a plain serial port (/dev/cuaa1 = COM2). I am at my wit's end on this problem, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose F.

This was already reported recently in hackers (and, to be honest, I've even known about it myself for a few months - I tried to get poppassd running back in January and ran into this same problem. The issue is that `passwd' is being run by poppassd at the end of a pipe, with poppassd trying to send the new password down the pipe to it. This part actually works, and the password file is modified, but then the passwd program never exits (or exits with an error status - I can't remember which) and so poppassd returns an error. In other words, the communication between poppassd and passwd(1) has broken somehow (and I'm told it used to work before 2.2) so somebody needs to fix it. I didn't have time, myself, and if I were to try and rewrite this thing I'd simply steal the code out of passwd(1) and try to make poppassd stand-alone. :) Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 12 06:20:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA14049 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 06:20:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (root@time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA14037 for ; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 06:20:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (jkh@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.9) with ESMTP id GAA00664; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 06:20:37 -0800 (PST) To: Klaus Werner Krygier cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NFSV3 - NFS on FreeBSD 2.2 In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 12 Mar 1997 10:37:58 +0100."

We know. :-) People are working on this right now, and I do hope that it will be fixed soon, but for now it really would be a good idea if you just used NFS v2 with 2.2. That seems to work just fine.

In every instance I've seen it used, the customer had problems with communications quality and "dropped connections" seemed to be the order of the day. Since I'd never had a single problem with my pair of ADTRAN L1 Express adaptors (and I purchased ADTRAN because it's the terminal adaptor that Cisco uses and recommends internally), I had some of the BitSURFR owners go to the ADTRAN as a replacement and their problems went away completely. Your mileage may vary, of course, but that's just the data I've collected. Personally, I would not accept a BitSURFR even if you offered me money to take it. :-) Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 12 06:37:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA15016 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 06:37:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from krygierpc.kph.uni-mainz.de (krygierpc.kph.uni-mainz.de [134.93.132.24]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA15007 for ; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 06:37:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (krygier@localhost) by krygierpc.kph.uni-mainz.de (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA10635; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 15:37:17 +0100 (MET) X-Authentication-Warning: krygierpc.kph.uni-mainz.de: krygier owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 12 Mar 1997 15:37:16 +0100 (MET) From: Klaus Werner Krygier To: "Jordan K.

Ah, I see - yes, how to force FreeBSD be an NFS V2 *server* is what you're asking (sorry, it's early in the morning for me here :). Hmmmmmm.... That's a good question. :-) There appear to be flags for turning the NFS server off entirely (NFS_NOSERVER) but none for specifically disabling NFS v3. Any ideas, Doug?

Yes? Trying to push things a bit? Always thought it odd that FreeBSD would squak if you exceeded 64 users, but still compile. >I am reading this totally wrong? > > >For an machine to have heavy hits and about 200 virtual domains what should >my network buffers look like? How many do you have now? What do you mean by "heavy" hits? On a 486-DX2/66 32Mb I pushed it to over 5 millions hits and around 100 sites running under Apache with both access and error logging. As the system exceeded 80 hosts and pushed past 2 million hits some kernel work was done. What did the most was in /sys/sys/syslimits.h set CHILD_MAX to 128 and OPEN_MAX to 256. Mind you this was BSDi 2.1, when we exceeded either of these values portmap would fail. Just a bit important for networking. 8-) Since looking at and working with FreeBSD I've found that someother parameters that were low in BSDi are actually higher than I set previously. Haven't tried to exceed them with FreeBSD, but don't see a reason why. >Any help or wooden sticks are appriciated. Not sure what you plan to run, but will assume Apache. No error logging or you will crash around 115 sites or so depending on the number of Apache processes. That is unless you can exceed 256 in OPEN_MAX. One drive for the OS, one for logging, and one, preferably SCSI, for the pages. At least 32Mb memory, but one thing that I have found is that FreeBSD with Apache will do a lot a caching without hacking a thing, so more memory won't hurt. Using Stronghold for SSL would mean that you cannot have as many domains and need at least 64Mb for a decent server due to each child process taking up about 40% more memory. Plans are to split the server and upgrade to at least a P100, which would be a big difference from the DX2/66, and limit to 126 sites per box (1/2 C class). Right now it has 126 sites, as I migrate from BSDi to FreeBSD on this server, but was up to about 170 with no real performance problem. Better to spread things around. This way if one goes belly up, I can move half the sites to one server and half to another. Just my observations. 8-) ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 12 13:20:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA11945 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 13:20:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from intergate.hh.kew.com (ahd@ppp-kew.pn.com [204.96.41.103]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA11938 for ; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 13:20:37 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ahd@localhost) by intergate.hh.kew.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA15649 for questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 12 Mar 1997 16:20:28 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 12 Mar 1997 16:20:28 -0500 (EST) From: Drew Derbyshire Message-Id: <199703122120.QAA15649@intergate.hh.kew.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: did someone leave a debug flag on?

The most common way is to bind another IP (you can do virtual hosts on the same IP). As an example: server root is /httpd and document root is /httpd/htdocs the server is www.my.com (1.2.3.1) and all IPs are on a class C First edit /etc/rc.local so that on startup the IP(s) are bound and the server starts. For more than one a loop is helpful: while : do read LINE if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then break fi ifconfig ed0 inet $LINE netmask 255.255.255.255 alias done << EOF 1.2.3.2 1.2.3.3 (etc)... EOF /httpd/conf/apache_1.1.1 -d /httpd -f conf/httpd.conf Edit the httpd.conf file: # 1.2.3.2 ServerName www.customer1.com ServerAdmin customer1@mixcom.com DocumentRoot /httpd/htdocs/customer1 ErrorLog /httpd/logs/customer1.error TransferLog /httpd/logs/customer1.access Also make sure that the 'BindAddress *' is set in httpd.conf. If you aren't restarting the server, then manually do the ifconig: ifconfig ed0 alias 1.2.3.2 Note you don't need the netmask if it is an IP from a C class that is not subnetted. Make sure you have a /httpd/htdocs/customer directory and either stop/start or HUP the server. You can do this without consuming IP addresses, but it seems to give the customer that warm fuzzy feeling when they have their own IP. Basically you do the same thing withoug binding a new IP, but use the server's IP. We have a server www.mixcom.com and our site is the same thing, so the server root and documemnt root are /httpd and /httpd/htdocs respectively, but www.mixcom.com has /httpd/htdocs/mixcom for the document root.

I've been tempted to do this to a couple of other packages that are build-from-box just so people can find them. We would have to ask ports@freebsd.org if this is OK rationale for a port. The only problem with Netatalk is that since it is a beta, there is a pretty high percentage chance of the distfile going away and breaking the port. > I am willing to do it if people think its a good idea...

When using Majordomo as a list manager, you end up with a single message being sent to all the users in the list.

If you use the VirtualHost directive errors go to the ErrorLog. Pretty much anything that can be set for the main server can be over-ridden on a server by server basis within VirtualHost.

I can get plain text to output, but postcript (run through the hpif example from section 7.6 of the handbook) never prints. The printer's data light, which is supposed to indicate data being received and/or processed, just blinks in a one-on/one-off pattern.

Basically, the VGA spec defined the VGA card to use 6 bits per colour (6 bits per red, 6 bits per green, 6 bits per blue).. giving 64 shades per each. This gives you a total colour PALETTE of 262,144 colours. Then you have to choose how many colours you want out of that palette (obviously the original VGA card with 256k couldn't display all at the same time :) so say you have 8bpp, that means "I can display 256 colours on the screen at once, each of those colours comes from the possible 262,144 colours avaliable". BUT *grin*, newer cards CAN do true 8 bits per colour, this is what it does in truecolour mode (16 million colours) since it just maps each 8 bit chunk to an 8 bit red, green and blue value (giving 24 bits, == 16 million). So you ARE getting 256 colours, its just confusing *grin* Hope this helps, Adrian. > > On Wed, 12 Mar 1997, Jacek Szostek wrote: > > > I have installed XFree86 ver. 3.2 and configured XF86Config for S3 Trio > > 64V+ ( 2Mb Ram ), which I have.

If I enable the psm0 device, it appears to be recognized properly (I get "psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard"), but the keyboard will not respond at all. If I disable the psm0 device, the keyboard works fine, but I cannot run X11 without a mouse. At first I thought this might have to do with the PAO package, but I have the same problem with the 2.1.6-RELEASE generic kernel. I already tried some of the "broken" laptop options from the PAO package (e.g. ThinkPad 340, etc...) when building a kernel, but to no avail. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Solutions?

Unless you did otherwise, /var is usually it's own partition. (It's supposed to be, at least, so if you fill /, it can still log the error without causing bigger problems.) Permissions is the tricky part here. Someone PLEASE check my work, there is always the possibility of stupid bugs. There will be a temporary mail burp while /var/mail is deleted -- you may wish to kill sendmail or drop to single user mode while you're doing this. It goes without saying you must be root. Do the following: mkdir /usr/target/directory chmod 655 /usr/target/directory chown bin:bin /usr/target/directory tar -cpf - -C /var/mail . | tar xpf - -C /usr/target/directory The tar man page has details. THe original example didn't have the p option on the left side, I added it just in case. Ensure that /var/mail and your new directory match exactly, permissions and ownership on the files are crucial otherwise no one will be able to read the mail. After the heiarchy is copied, rm -rf /var/mail to trash the old dir, then run ln -s /usr/target/directory /var/mail to make the link. That should do it.

I asked them about this, and they said that they've discintinued allowing "zone transfers" - and that my server probably asks for a zone transfer upon doing a 'nslookup'.

Without testing, it seems to me that you could simply hack mountd.c and remove the two calls to svc_register which register the v3 mountd protocol. If the mountd refuses to talk the v3 protocol, then the client at the other end will fall back to v2 (which uses the v1 mountd protocol to be confusing). -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.

In short, you probably aren't doing that. The question is, how are you doing queries with nslookup? Are you using ls? and what is your query type set as. Maybe you want to consider running your own named as a secondary to your ISP. Get the O'Reilly book if you do. Maybe even if you don't. It's a great book for DNS.

I have an HP3 here, and a genuine HP Laserjet III Postscript cartridge. Unless the PacificPage cart has some snazzy hardware in it, my verdict on the speed af a 16MHz 68000 rendering postscript stands; it sucks when compared against the sort of performance you get out of ghostscript on just about anything else. Note that to get any sort of decent throughput to the LJ3, you want to turn the tiff compression _on_. > Alex. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

Yes, this is a valuable option you should keep in mind when doing things, especially for other users, as root.

But when I tried it using a Mitsumi 8x FX810S I had to install from a DOS partition. I didn't find the way for FreeBSD' CD-ROM recognition. I almost give up!. Does FreeBSD support this type of CD-ROM (FX810S)?. LU005S model has a proprietary card and FX810S uses IDE/ATAPI interface. I suppose that FreeBSD doesn't support this kind of CC.DD. Why not? Linux do it and also supports LU005S. Anyway, Will FreeBSD add support for IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives in the near future?

I don't know of any CSU/DSU cards, so you pretty much can't replace that. Are you going to do 56K or fractional T1? I just say that because I know you can get a 56K only CSU/DSU for considerably cheeper than $1000. We sell Motorola 56K CSU/DSU for $240. I guess a T1 is going to cost $1000 or so. I'm not a sales guy, so I don't know exactly. Are you going dedicated line or Frame Relay? Frame is cheeper. Then you'd need a synchronous serial port, and software (Frame or dedicated) to run it. I don't think there are any Frame Relay drivers for FreeBSD. Paul. -- Cyanide is so poisonous that one drop of it on a dog's tongue will kill the strongest man.

True, but it is a matter of style. ;-) Apache decided to separate them, that's all. FWIW, Stronghold combines the 3 (httpd.conf, srm.conf, access.conf) into one starting with 1.3.1 and then there is no longer a ssl_conf directory.

The easiest way would be to boot singler user mode (-s at the boot:) so that no mail will be written. Then: mv /var /usr cd / ln -s /usr/var /var One file, if you have lpd enabled (I think), will not move and you will have to delete it. This is what I do for every system install.

No. You can have them both on the same system, however, if you have the diskspace for it, and boot either one.

In that case I'm out of ideas. Odd question. Is this over NFS? There is a discussion in -hackers about potential 'missing file' problems when doing rm -r's from a Sun box over NFS.

Not supported? I highly suggest unloading it on some unknowing Win95 user and buying yourself a SCSI CDROM. This drive does not conform to ATAPI specifications, and the SCSI cd will never bother you again. I have two of them on a NCR 53c815 and never, ever a problem.

Just download the package you are interested in and run pkg_add package.tgz, or download the port's directory, cd into it, and type 'make' to build it and 'make install' to install it.

The system is shipped with "Cardwiz" for DOS and Windows setups. I talked with a techie at AST and they told me that I definitely can NOT use a "Point Enabler" and must use Cardwiz in order access the card. Looking at FreeBSD information it appears as though there is no support for PCMCIA bridges, although I'm seeing what looks to be support under Linux. > > > > ze: found card in slot 0 > > > > ze: at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa > > > > ze: address 30:31:41:00:ff:1a, type IBM PCMCIA (16 bit), MAU 10baseT > > > > > > What does ifconfig ze0 report? > > > > I found that the card seemed to be finding conflicts with IObase > > and/or IRQ so I have now moved it to IObase 0x400, IRQ 5 and maddr > > 0xd8000.

That makes sense. Probably it's not getting the interrupt because you must talk to it through this PCMCIA bridge. /raj From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 13 17:49:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA05317 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 17:49:02 -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 RAA05300 for ; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 17:48:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA02401; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 17:48:01 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 13 Mar 1997 17:48:01 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: RGireyev@bellind.com cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Mailing List archives In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 12 Mar 1997 RGireyev@bellind.com wrote: > Why are there no links to mailing list archives > on the FreeBSD WEB site? > Or are there? > Search engine is nice, but sometimes not enough.

See the dump(8) man page and use the B and b options to specify the # of blocks and the blocksize. Other than rst0 will rewind the tape when done, your dump command looks sane. For a Connor 2GB SCSI tape we have, we use the following: 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 (we're using rdump but just change the rdump to dump and the host:path to just path and you should be good. Unless your /home changes a lot you don't have to unmount it.)

It's the second section down. No I saw that one and have used it. It is still a search engine. What I meant in my posting is a complete archive. For instance if I knew that a certain discussion took place on hackers, I want to be able to go to hackers archive select the year and month and look through all the postings for that month, listed by thread or subject etc etc .. I've found one site that has something similar to what I am looking for. It is the archive listing for this very same mailing list (freebsd-questions): http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark/FreeBSD/questions/ But I cannot find others (mailing lists that is).

I've disabled enough serial ports that miraculously reappear in Windows 95 to make anyone sick. I'll bet you money the card is not releasing it's resources. ALso, are you sure you're zapping the right card? 3c5x9cfg may be seeing the motherboard one and editing it and not your add-in one. > The kernel configuration file claims that the ep0 driver is > "buggy".

In this case you should certainly consider installing the PAO package, available at http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO.

They have to get in first though. Here is my handy-dandy upgrade checklist for the 2.1.x series. It should cover the system binaries; you'll have to rebuild your ports. 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.

But for a couple of ethernets and T-1s, it works JUST fine. And you can't beat the price just for 1 ethernet and 1 Syncserial connection. Cost? About $700.00 for the sync serial card, $100.00 for a good ethernet card and about $700.00 for a decent platform, $1500.00 total. Sure it lacks features of the Cisco (e.g. decent SNMP control), BUT just to get up and running in the least cost, it is perfect. Huh? Are you talking about a PM2-ER? A base PM2 by itself is $2,495.00. The PM-2-ER is $3,495.00! This is way over the price of a Cisco 2501. They have 2 "real" routers priced at $2,395.00 and 2,696.00. The higher priced one is the one that has the same type of hardware config as a 2501. Plus you still need the CSU/DSU in the above examples. About $1000.00 for T1 speeds.

That's the first I've heard of it, and it does seem a bit silly to attempt to do 100Mbps ethernet over ISA (where it isn't possible to get even half of 100Mbps). Anyway, no, there is no chance that the current fxp driver will work with an ISA card. The chipset on the board must be entirely different (the 82557 on the PCI Pro/100B is very PCI-centric). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 13 20:43:21 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA18033 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 20:43:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from puma.cyberport.com (root@puma.cyberport.com [204.134.75.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA18025 for ; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 20:43:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from Panasazi (pm136-75.cyberport.com [204.134.75.136]) by puma.cyberport.com (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id VAA20916 for ; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 21:43:12 -0700 (MST) Message-Id: <199703140443.VAA20916@puma.cyberport.com> From: "John Messenger" To: Date: Thu, 13 Mar 1997 21:45:40 -0700 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 Well I wrote to you guys a couple of days ago, and wonder of wonders you actually responded, almost Imediatley. and for that I thank you. But you are only as good as your last good deed. I did finally install FreeBSD and got it running, with no Xwindows, after I figured out that the program didn't support my video card, and I replace it with one I had laying around, and I figured out that the .cshrc file was sort of my autoexec.bat file and config.sys file rolled into one, then I figured out that ee was an editor, apparently the first time I installed it.......who am I kidding, even the seventh time I installed it it didn't set /usr/X11R6/bin in my path, but I did, so that part worked. Now however I am trying to figure out these three things in this order. First..My cdrom which is an IDE type will not, for the life of me let me mount it, even though yes there is a CD in the thing when I boot, it still says "device not configured" I have tried everything I know, which at this point isn't much up to and including, making a new device which shows up in my /dev as wcd0c and rwcd0c respectivley. I have even compiled my own custom kernel rom your instructions and did a "make install" and booted from it. I have tried six ways from sunday to mount it and all to no avail. the cd is a Hitachi 7730, it was set first on the sound card, a SB16, then as primary slave and now as master on secondary. It has never been picked up even from the install program, I had to copy the entire cd to harddrive and install from there. I would like to note here that when watching the boot sequence it does detect the cdrom and displys the make model and audio capabilities but the last line says "wcd0: unkown media unlocked" or some thing very like that, and yes I did visit your web page and checked out the FAQs. Second I don't seem to be able to use my printer either. It should be on lpt1 but I haven't had a lot of luck with that either. not as important as the first but still important. and finally I read in your README on the video cards that the Trident TGUI9680 would be supported in the next release, and I am wondering if I can simply install the applicable file to my system or will I have to go with a total upgrade to get my video card to work? by the way I am using FreeBSD 2.1.5 with no extra programs, as they are on the cd and .........well we been there already. I am fairly certain that I have overlooked something easy, being as I have never used UNIX system before, and didn't even own a computer until a year ago. Unfortunatley there is no one I know that know much about it, if anything at all. so if you would be so kind as to tell me what I need to tell you (as I am sure that there is tons of infomation I didn't even mention) I will supply you with the problems if you will supply me with the answers. Can't beat a deal like that now can you? I will be out of town for a while, I drive truck for a living but I will be back at the computer in a couple of days, so if you don't here from me for awhile, don't think that I 've gone away mad, just gone away.

This is definately by only complaint with Ghostscript.. the fonts really suck in a large way.. Are there any alternatives out there with better fonts? Can you even purchase better fonts somewhere?

I only have a single processor right now, and will soon be upgrading. It is likely that the P6DNF will be a well supported board.

Some of them can be found in Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Just copy them to /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts and add entries at the end of /usr/local/share/ghostscript/4.02/Fontmap like this: /Symbol (Symbol) ; /Times-Roman (Times-Roman) ; /Times-Italic (Times-Italic) ; /Times-Bold (Times-Bold) ; /Times-BoldItalic (Times-BoldItalic) ; The first column contains the fontname, the second the corresponding filename with extensions. Beware of the copyright for the fonts; I think personal use is OK. tg From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 13 23:40:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA04934 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 23:40:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (root@time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA04803 for ; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 23:37:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (jkh@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.9) with ESMTP id XAA21592; Thu, 13 Mar 1997 23:34:33 -0800 (PST) To: Doug White cc: John Clark , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Installing Ports from CD In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 13 Mar 1997 17:35:50 PST."

Just like any other OS it won't do much by itself. However, it supports a wide variety of applications for providing all sorts of internet services such as: DNS, mail, ftp, web, nntp, etc., and you'll be able to find almost anything you need for it for free. Just look aroung http://www.freebsd.org (especially under Documentation...) to see if it fits you. Be warned, though, that setting up a server, especially with UNIX-style OS's (which FreeBSD is), is a task with a steep learning curve, so be ready to read books and go through many trials and errors if you decide to setup such a thing for the first time.

I have 2 Compaq's with 2940UW installed. 1 runs IDE for disk (tape, cdrom and a Syquest are currently on it), the other has 2 wide drives in it. Both are running 2.1.7, and I haven't had any problems at all. When I get the money to upgrade my home SCSI controller (a 1542B), I'm leaning toward the 2940UW. Plan for the future. It's not that much more than a 2940U. May as well.

Now that's weird. I tried it and just got in with no problem: $ nslookup Default Server: horton.iaces.com Address: 204.147.87.98 > server 194.198.118.130 Default Server: nic.webconnect.no Address: 194.198.118.130 > > Is this our problem, or our ISP's ? Well it doesn't appear to be the ISP. But you say telnet does a query fine and you get connected. What's your resolv.conf look like? Make sure there aren't any trailing spaces on any lines. You'll want it to look something like: domain istudio.no nameserver 194.198.118.130 And by the way, I just did an 'ls istudio.no.' on that server and then set myself up as a secondary. Both worked fine. It looks like is was there problem, and they've fixed it.

All works fine for the VGA_16 server, however I can start the SVGA server but the screen is like 320x200 or something ridiculus like that. I am in vga mode now and doing 1024x768, so I should atleast be able to do 800x600 in svga mode. The card has 2 megs ram, and the monitos is a NEC. A pointer to info ir suggestions would help.

Is it better to > do a secondary or is it better to set up a cache only server ? I'd say a secondary is better. That way you have the files on you system and can quickly turn it into a primary if your primary goes down. Ok. All you need to do is create the named.boot file, in /etc/namedb. But first check /etc/sysconfig to make sure you have this line: namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" Now that named.boot file: # what directory should we use for named directory /etc/namedb # Set up secondary domains secondary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa ip.of.primary s.127.0 secondary my.domain ip.of.primary s.my.domain secondary reverse-ip.in-addr.arpa ip.of.primary s.ip-addresses cache . named.root Then start named with named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot or reboot. A couple of notes. I use s. for secondary files, and p. for primary files. It helps me at a glance see what I'm serving. Others just use filenames like db.. That really doesn't matter. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, check the log when you start, restart or reload the nameserver. Just a: tail /var/log/messages and you'll know whether or not what you did worked. Get the O'Reilly book. Paul and Cricket do a great job with it. named.root is provided in /etc/namedb by freebsd. Without it, your name server will have no clue how to how to get to the root name servers without it. Here's a specific example. Let's say you want to be secondary for the domain ukrv.de and it's ip addresses are 201.200.40.0. And the the primary name server is at 201.200.30.1. Your ip address is 201.200.40.1 Here's what the named.boot should look like: directory /etc/namedb secondary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa 201.200.30.1 s.127.0 secondary ukrv.de 201.200.30.1 s.my.domain secondary 40.200.201.in-addr.arpa 201.200.30.1 s.201.200.40 cache . named.root And here's your /etc/resolv.conf domain ukrv.de. nameserver 201.200.40.1 nameserver 201.200.30.1 How's that?

But when I tried it using a Mitsumi 8x FX810S I had to install from a DOS partition. I didn't find the way for FreeBSD' CD-ROM recognition. I almost give up!. Does FreeBSD support this type of CD-ROM (FX810S)?. LU005S model has a proprietary card and FX810S uses IDE/ATAPI interface. I suppose that FreeBSD doesn't support this kind of CC.DD. Why not? Linux do it and also supports LU005S. Anyway, Will FreeBSD add support for IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives in the near future? I saw yesterday in Walnut Creek CD-ROM website that FreeBSD 2.1.7 is coming soon. Thanks for your atention. Antonio R. Orozco rorozco@tunku.uady.mx P.S. batab.dgp.uady.mx is an experimental server running FreeBSD 2.1.5 when is turned on.

No, it got yanked out due to lack of use (it made various parts of the code far more twisty too) then sort of put back in different, more limited form.

This is what I did until GS 4.0 came out. Of the people complaining about GS fonts, how many have tried 4.0? I forget who, but someone donated fully hinted fonts for GS 4.0, and they look every bit as good as the ones I used from ATM previously. The quality of gs output went up dramatically for me when I upgraded to these fonts.

Your device files are wrong for some reason. You could try rebuilding them with '/dev/MAKEDEV sd6'. 2. You have a termination problem. Make sure your SCSI chains follow the rules for termination laid out in the manual for your 2940.

Jordan, you weren't paying attention. He had a 3c589d, which isn't supported by the zp driver, or much of anything for that matter; even win95 requires the disk. So he returned that and bought a IBM Credit Card Ethernet II, and we're trying to debug that, which isn't working either.

FYI, 3com sells a 100mb-capable ISA adapter. Surprised the heck out of me when I saw it, since I swore the same thing you did.

My problem is that the Windows NT box that has the CD Jukebox does not unmangle the filenames on the CD ROM. When sysinstall goes to fetch a particular app, it fails because it does not recognize the file name. Do you know of an app that reads the Index file to unmangle the names for NT?

Ha, got one here that gains 2 minutes in 2 hours :-) And yes, we tried replacing the CMOS battery. If you want the error to correct itself, run xntpd, not ntpdate. ntpdate runs once, adjusts the clock, then goes away. xntpd constantly runs, eventually backs of to checking every 15 minutes, and will skew the timer between checks.

Which FREEBSD support this serial card up to 460K? > Please e-mail me. Depends on which ByteRunner Card. Right now, No FreeBSD version that I'm aware of supports 16650 software selection of baud rates higher than 115.2kbps. I plan on rectifying this, but that certainly won't be anytime in the next month or so. However, some of the ByteRunner cards allow you to feed a higher than standard clock to the UART. This doesn't have to be supported by software, as the software will set 115.2kbps and get 2 or 4 times that. I understand that there are some kernel tweaks that need to be done to make this work reliably. I've got some cards I'm going to play with, but I haven't actually set them up yet.

There is a known bug where connecting twice to rsh in a short amount of time will jam the second session. Waiting 30s or so and trying again works fine.

There's also the Bitstream 500 Font CD for < $50 (although I don't think the metrics are a perfect match between Bitstream's Swiss & Dutch (equivalent to Helvetica & Times, respectively), or even the Corel Mega Gallery, ~$69, which contains 1000 fonts including nearly all of the Bitstream 500 font CD + another 350 Bitstream fonts. If you've got Corel Draw 4 or greater, it's got all the fonts in the Bitstream 500 font CD, too. If you use the Bitstream fonts, you just need to alias them properly. For that matter, if you go to computer liquidation sales, ham fests, and the like, you can often pick up the OEM ATM packages which have been separated from various PS printers for cheap (<$10). These packages have all of the fonts that are standard in the printer, which is usually the 17 or 35 basic fonts in a PS printer.

Hm, another cranky Phoenix bios I bet. :( I am really beginning to hate that bios, and PnP in general. These are the IBM PC settings for the first two serial ports, COM1 and COM2. sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A SO here's how I understand how you want to connect things using DOS terminology, since that's what this stuff is built for. COM1: modem COM2: mouse I guess you should set your BIOS as follows: Serial Port 1: 2f8, irq 3 Serial Port 2: Disabled Plug your mouse into the external port marked Serial Port 1. Save your changes, then quit. Make sure you save them, otherwise they'll have no effect. > Damn... i can't believe i have to change my board... Maybe not, we'll play with it a bit...

I really doubt it. gcc is intristic to the system, but FreeBSD has lived forever without Pascal and probably still will. :) It will most likely appear as a port in the ports tree, if someone goes to the work of porting it.

With FreeBSD 2.2-BETA_A (I think this was the release just a few days before the real 2.2 release) ocassionaly the keyboard will stop responding and the scroll lock light will be on. Though I can not test it at the moment I think this time it happened when I trying to press the scroll lock key and hit the pause key a couple of times. Perhaps I might have hit both keys. Anyway, I do not seem to be able to get the keyboard to respond after this and have to resort to rebooting the computer. Is there a cure to this problem other thaupgrading and if upgrading is suggested will upgrading correct this problem? Thanks.

Unless you fixed it..:) I've fixed quite a bit, though perhaps not everything - it's hard to say without getting more feedback. It certainly works in my testing. Also, many of the people complaining about being unable to download packages in the past were actually complaining about a bogus INDEX file in the packages directory which listed the *superset*, e.g. ports. Then they went to download the netscape package and were disappointed. :) The current releases prune the INDEX first to match the packages. Why don't we revisit this with 2.2 and see if people are still having problems loading packages from media other than CDROM? It certainly should work.

Never mind. :-) I have a National Infomover PCCARD here which works just jolly with the ze driver. Perhaps Raj would like to swap? It's more important for me to know which cards don't work (and try to see them fixed one way or another) than to continue using only the ones which do. :) Also, I don't use my laptop anymore, much less on an ethernet, so the card is just sitting in my junk pile.

However, I think experienced programmers may be interested and helpful. I have one Sun SparcStation running SunOS 5.5, one PC running FreeBSD 2.1.6 and one 2.1.7, and the other Linux 2.0.x. All of them were all installed Secure Shell (SSH) 1.2.17 and happily connected with one another. After I updated one 2.1.6 to the current 2.1.7, a strange thing happened. This 2.1.7 can connect to 2.1.6 and Linux (in shell interactive mode), but cannot connect to SunOS 5.5 ! Everytime it sends out a message "Command terminated on signal 1" and then disconnects the request from 2.1.7, while 2.1.6 can connect to this SunOS 5.5 in shell mode !! After more than 4 hours fighting with this problem, I guess it's more related to FreeBSD , rather than to Ssh. The two PCs differs only in OS version : 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 , and 2.1.6 is OK but not for 2.1.7 !! I wonder if there is anyone who has experience with this. Also, if any of you are interested in solving this, I can provide the account on SunOS 5.5 (in the US) for you to test. Hope any of you can help me. --- Hoffmann Yen-Wei Liu (Taipei, Taiwan) "It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what's cool." - Calvin said to Hobbes, Calvin and Hobbes.

I have a delema along the same lines. I joined this thread late. But here is the set up that I have: COM1 : External Modem COM2 : Logiteck serial mouse I am trying to figure out two things. First, I put in an internal Zoltrix modem (non-PNP) version, and have no way of finding out what it's settings are what so ever. I tried alot of things. Maybe is there is a port checker out there that I can use to tell me what is what? Second I have a psm0 device showing up at IRQ 12. However it conflicts with IO_KBD 0X60 memory block. SO I Am wondering if that is the modem. Is there anything out there that can check some of these settings for me? MSD doesn't seam to have any info. Also can I have both com ports working and the internal modem, or does one of the internal ports have to be closed? The motherboard that I have is an OptiViper with a cyrix 166+. Two more odd things, or questions: Is there anyway to use the 586 optamization in the kernel with the cyrix 166+ ? and my Logiteck mouse only works with the following setting: Section "Pointer" Protocol "GlidePoint" Device "/dev/cuaa1" BaudRate 1200 EndSection Which is very odd indeed... But since it works fine, I am just cureous rather then worried.

All uucp implementations, I believe, will accept the g protocol. The uucps negotiate the protocol between themselves. I'm not sure I understand what you want to do with the pop server. If you want incoming mail to go to the 3b2s, I would set up a mailer table that looks something like: 3b2.some.dom uucp:3b2name Incoming would go to the 3b2 at the next poll and would be delivered to the user as local mail.

Jordan, The problem I was having is that I mounted the CD-ROM on an NT server that did not unmangle the file names. I noticed in the FTP log files that the distribution was trying to fetch: filename.rev.tgz While the ISO 9660 standard would yield the filename.rev and truncate after the first "." If the CD is mounted on a FreeBSD box, the filenames are correct. It would be nice if the FTP utility used during install would notice that if the remote file system were not unix, to mangle the names first, fetch, then repair. This would not be as hard as you think. I certainly would be willing to help as much as possible in this effort. I certainly don't know enough about NT to determine if there were some way to get the filesystem to recognize INDEX_00 files. Are INDEX_00 files part of the ISO 9660 standard?

Hmm... if you mean that the FBSD machine accepts POP mail (somehow) and sends it on to the 3B2 via UUCP, that's a little different... The uucp side is easy, it's the "accept POP mail" that might be tricky. I suppose, if you gave people accounts on the FBSD machine, and put .forwards (or used /etc/alias) to forward the mail, it wouldn't be difficult. Then; you could have a cron job with checked the POP server (using a POP-client on FreeBSD) to grab and forward the mail appropriately... There is a reasonable popclient for FreeBSD in the ports.

Also, is it right that usally the less number of chips for the same MB SIMM the larger the counts of memory? the quicker it is to read/write to memory? (eg. an example - 32MB 60ns single sided has 8/9 chips, 32MB 60ns double sided has 16/17 chips). 32MB 60ns Single sided SIMM or 32MB 60ns Double sided SIMM - which is fastest (ie. when counting)? which is better to use? I've noticed that servers usually have single sided memory? Does this affect memory interleaving or transfer speed? The intel 440FX chipset, does this support 2:1 memory interleaving? 4:1 memory interleaving? Don't want to be a pain :-) Can anyone help with some of these questions? A great thank you.

We are fortunate to have grown to the point that we've used up our class C network and need to add another. However, I'm confused as to how it will be routed. What I want to do is add a couple more machines that will use the new class C addresses and hang everyone off the same hub. However, these machines would have to communicate with the machines on the old address block. How to I tell the FreeBSD boxes that particular networks should be looked for directly on the local net, rather than being handed off to the T1 router? I would think that the router (Cisco 2501) could be configured to bounce the packet back onto the network. But I don't think it would be a good idea to run all inter-network trafffic through the router. I'm thinking that I'm looking at a static route, but I can't puzzle out what the route syntax should be. Basicly, I'm at a loss here and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction. If I need to build a box specifically to sit in the middle and act as a router, I will, but I would rather not.

Of course it will work. That is the whole idea behind X11 being a distributed windowing system. Namely, *all* X11 applications take the display address from the environment variable named DISPLAY. Also, all Xt applications honor the -display command line switch. NB, your DISPLAY variable has to point to some working X11 server, but that server can be on another planet, as far as X11 is concerned, as long as some supported transport protocol and channel exists between the two machines. One of these transports is TCP/IP. As a matter of fact, a rather typical situation at bigger companies (e.g. here, at Siemens) is that they have a couple of big multi CPU unix servers and a whole bunch of X-terminals (an x-terminal is basically a diskless machine running an X server). One indeed logs into the unix machine, gets a prompt there, and starts any X11 app which then displays on his X-terminal (completely different machine.) Naturally, if one forgets to set the DISPLAY variable, one receives an error message from the Xlib telling that the Xlib cannot connect to display. Now, if you have a personal workstation you will normally run the X server locally, but you do not have to :) /Marino P.S. Okay, I admit I was picking a nit. One indeed needs to run the X server *somewhere* for netscape to work. But the point is that they do not need to go to the hassle of installing all of X libs and servers to their machine: they can use any of Xservers for Windows, for instance. _________________________________________________________________ FreeBSD Home Page www@freebsd.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END ARCHIVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is there a possibility (with a coordinated effort of my ISP) of using the Xlib of my remote host ( don't be at all illusioned that I am sure of what I am talking about ) as long as I execute netscape after connect.

I made the partition with the Boot Manager the active partition. I created a boot floppy with the makeflp.bat file, left the CD (FreeBSD disk #1) and the boot floppy in their respective drives and restarted the machine. I got into a menu utility (without first hitting the boot manager selection prompt), did a lot of reading therein, and then started the Novice Installation. I got into FDISK (?) where I selected the "unused" partition, followed by Create. The entered name, FreeBSD, was displayed on that partition. The installation failed one or two menues later (the first menu where size -- amount of memory -- was important). I cancelled the installation and got out. First, am I even starting out correctly? Should I be using "installation from a DOS Partition"? If so, how exactly? If not, what? I am trying to set this up so I can get school work done at home, so if I could just get a step by step set of instructions (either by mail or phone), that would be great! I've already spent several hours today trying to set this up with no progress to show on this OR my homework. Thanks for your time and patience.

What I have done for my WWW servers is put an entire class C onto lo0 and route to the box as a gateway for the network. e.g 203.29.224.16/28 -------------------------------.30 | | | | .17 .18 .20 .19 {lo0=203.8.13.*} .17, .18, .20, .30 all have a route to 203.8.13.0 via 203.29.224.19 You can do this with a static route in FreeBSD via the command "route add 203.8.13.0 203.29.224.19" or in the static routes section of /etc/sysconfig. Alternatively you can use gated if you want dynamic routing.

Yesterday I upgraded my MB (to ASUS P/I P55T2P4), CPU (to P133) and videocard (to Matrox Mystque w/4meg). Everything came up fine (except my plug-n-pray Supra Express 28.8i modem). I was able to run make world 4 times succesfully. I then shutdown the system for about 3-4 hours. Now when I attempt to boot the system all my hardware is identified correctly except when it's time to mount my files systems. Somehow the system can only find /dev/wd0s1a. All the other files systems report: No such file or directory. The system can't find my swap (/dev/wd01b) /usr (/dev/wdos1f) /var (/dev/wd0s1e) or /backup (/dev/wd2s1e) filesystems. After telling me the filesystems don't exist I get the following message: Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: So I enter the sh. I checked the disklabel for both drives and they look fine (using disklabel -r /dev/rwd0). Any idea what's going on and how do I recover? FYI I'm using 3.0 -current (last CVSUP date = 97.02.10.00.00.00) Thanks in advance.

After telling me the filesystems don't exist I get the following message: Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: So I enter the sh. I checked the disklabel for both drives and they look fine (using disklabel -r /dev/rwd0). Any idea what's going on and how do I recover?

To help you out people would probably need more accurate info, like where exactly did it fail and what errors did it give you? > > First, am I even starting out correctly? Should I be using "installation > from a DOS Partition"? If so, how exactly? If not, what? It seems you're going the right way *if* your CD is supported. The easiest way to check that is go to the "media" menu (I think it's under custom or epert install - can't remember the exact location) and try to set the media type to CDROM. If it doesn't complain you can install from the CD. Otherwise, try moving your CD around (to be the slave on the primary controller or the master on the secondary controller). If you can't get your CD recognized you'll have to do a DOS install. > > I am trying to set this up so I can get school work done at home, so if I > could just get a step by step set of instructions (either by mail or > phone), that would be great!
