Hopefully Netscape :-) You might want to check memory-usage. The command ps -aux | more gives you the usage of real memory (under the heading rss) and virtual storage (vsz) for each process on the system. Further, the command pstat -s tells you about used and available swap space. The results may confirm a memory leakage, either in userland or in the kernel vm-system, so please report your findings.

You can: 1. Use your dos/windoze side to ftp the packages from ftp.freebsd.org, mount your DOS partition (using mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1c /mnt, assuming your DOS disk is the first drive in the system) and copy the package to the UNIX side. /mnt is the root level of your C: drive. Or, you can copy the package to a formatted floppy, mount it using mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt and copy from /mnt. Make sure you umount /mnt when you're done! Hope this helps.

The CD you sent me doesn't really work as it cannot install all the packages from it. However, I got around most of this. Anyway, now my problem is this: I have 2 hard drives (both 1.2G on the Primary port). The Master is a Windows95, and the slave is the FreeBSD drive. When I set it up, first the BootEasy bootloader doesn't work right. Also it can't mount DOS partitions really well. The reason I think is it keeps stating that root cluster is not a multiple of the partition it is mounting. This might have to do with the problem that the partition information used when making the FAT 16 partition for Win95 and the BIOS setting information. If this is the case, can you tell me where I need to lookup the correct information of the drive settings and where should I set them (as to which file.) I can boot to FreeBSD using OSBS2. And maybe if you really feel compassionate..you can send me a CD that works..(and newer so the Xfree86 on the CD supports my Matrox Millennium. :) Thanks, Jason Guthrie csc10028@frank.mtsu.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 23 11:29:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA22549 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Mar 1997 11:29:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from resnet.uoregon.edu (resnet.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA22534 for ; Sun, 23 Mar 1997 11:29:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by resnet.uoregon.edu (8.8.3/8.6.12) with SMTP id LAA07620; Sun, 23 Mar 1997 11:29:32 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 11:29:31 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White To: "Jeffrey J.

Hm, the destination directory is missing. You can just copy sysinstall to where you want it to go and chmod 5555 sysinstall and chown bin:bin sysinstall to get the same functionality.

I think it's some incompatibility between BSDI and FreeBSD versions of NIS. I assume you're using NIS[+]. As a work around, you can create local accounts for the users that *must* have the Netscape mailer. You might also try using the Linux version of Netscape in Linux compatibility mode.

History. They were always separate efforts. 2. System types. FreeBSD is a port/derivative of the BSD system distributions, Linux is a more sysV-oriented, independent effor. 3. Development environment. Linux's k ernel is controlled by one person, and the rest of the ssytem is virtualy up for grabs. FreeBSD is more tightly controlled in terms of distribution. For the most part, it's philosophy. Somewhat same with the *BSD stuff, but the mail archives will reveal the whole story behind those divisions. Hope this helps. Again, I don't speak for FreeBSD in any way, nor do I wish to start any flamewars. Please ropute such responses to dev/null, thanks.

If it's ATAPI and not too crazy, it should work. You can try it by booting the install floppy and see if the wdc driver finds it.

Also, I normally use ctwm (3.4pl2) which has a splash screen that cycles itself brighter & dimmer and it isn't just brighter & dimmer against the new server. Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? Or have ideas as to better means to describe/document the symptoms? Or better places to direct this message?

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

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

If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual".

I've got a setup running with a few modems, mgetty, and pppd running. I would like to be able to setup the capability to authenticate using pap or chap for dialin users. Currently my users have to bring up a terminal screen after dialing and connecting to type in their userid and password, or setup a script to do this for them. Windows95 doesn't seem to recognize that it is attempting a plain-text authentication, and never negotiates or even logs on unless the terminal screen is ran or a script does it for them. Does pppd have to do this, if so, how do I setup pppd to work with the modem on incoming users. I'm sorry if I missed something in one of the man pages, but I checked repetitively and came up with no answer for incoming pap and chap. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for some input from users who've tried running FreeBSD on a 5x85/K5 based machine, and running XF86 on the Matrox Mystique card. I'm looking to buy a 5x86-133 or a K5 based motherboard. I'd like to know of there are problems running FreeBSD on such boards. (Failing this, my next choice would be a P5 based motherboard (the ad I have doesn't specify the manufacturer of the motherboard, so I assume it'd be an Intel motherboard) with the Triton chipset. I presume FreeBSD would run cleanly on this). I was also looking to buy a Matrox Mystique card. Is this card supported by XF86 ? Are there any known problems with this card, as far as running X is concerned ?

The Millenium (what I have) was recently added to the SVGA server, so you might want to read the Readme for the SVGA server and see if support for the Mystique has been added yet. --Ludwig Pummer ----------------------------------------------------------------- ludwigp@sns.com http://chipweb.home.ml.org http://www.sns.com/~ludwigp <--^-- Updated 11/22/96 PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 23 21:43:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA28084 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Mar 1997 21:43:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.sns.com (jack.sns.com [199.35.183.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id VAA28079 for ; Sun, 23 Mar 1997 21:43:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from speedy by mail.sns.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0w92XB-000Q2yC; Sun, 23 Mar 97 21:43 PST Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970323214152.0082bcf0@mail.sns.com> X-Sender: ludwigp@mail.sns.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 21:42:59 -0800 To: mohan@netapp.com (Mohan Srinivasan), freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Ludwig Pummer Subject: Re: FreeBSD on 5x86 and K5 systems/XF86 and the Matrox Mystique card...

I have recompiled the kernel with all of the PCVT lines uncommented. I have poked through the email database at www.freebsd.org, but I still have two problems. (1) When I reboot, / has never dismounted properly, and I average more than three reboot cycles before I can logon. During reboot and at other spurious times, I see interrupt timeout errors for the harddrive. Is this a known ThinkPAD problem or may I have faulty hardware? (2) The Fn feature is set and locked when I use the Caps Lock key, exit vi, or do other things. I have not been able to unset this feature using any key combination, and since a lot of important keys are now overloaded, I can not execute any commands. I can not even switch to a different virtual consol to type. My only option has been to power cycle the laptop. This together with problem (1), is really annoying.

I have done the following to try to resolve this problem: 1. remade the devices in /dev (no change) 2. checked termination of SCSI chain etc. (no problems I can see) 3. connected the disks to a 2940 controller on another machine (dodo) - they are in an external enclosure, with the terminator in the same position etc. In this case I was able to label the disks without any problem, but when I reconnected them to the first machine, the problem appeared again. The differences between the 2 machines are: dodo: 2940 with normally 1 disk on internal bus (this one works OK with the 2 additional disks from anfi) anfi: 2x2940 with 8 disks and a tape drive. controller 1: 1x2GB disk (sd0) 1x4GB disk (sd1) 2x9GB disk (sd2,sd3 => ccd0) controller 0: 2x4GB disk (sd4,sd5 => ccd1) - this is a very busy squid cache 1xHP DAT drive 2x4GB disk (sd6,sd7) - these are the problem disks) Could the problem be related to the problems with the ahc driver that were recently fixed in the 2.1.7.1 point release? If so, is there any way I could migrate those changes into my 2.1.6 system in the interim until I have an opportunity to upgarde the machine. I need to get these disks working on the machine so I can update my ftp site (including the FreeBSD mirrors). Any other suggestions ??

FreeBSD is supposed to support mounting of dospartitions, primary as well as extended. I can mount my primary dos partition, it works great. But how do I mount the second, extended partition? I think it works when you have all partitions on the same disk, but that's not the case here. I have one SCSI-disk with FreeBSD 2.1.6R, and a second disk with two dos partitions, primary and extended. I can mount the first dos partition, but not the second one. So, my question is: Is there any way for me to mount the extended dos partition on the second disk? I've not subscribed to this list, so I would be glad if send answers directly to me.

The following is not impartial, as I don't play with Linux much, but when I did I wasn't as happy as I am now 8). [opinions on] Linux is SysV-flavored (barely); FreeBSD is BSD-flavored (definitely). Linux's kernel is authored by one person (Linus Torvalds); FreeBSD is authored by (essentially) the core team. Linux addons come from pretty much everywhere; FreeBSD's get submitted from a lot of places also, but have to pass review to be included as part of the release. Linux has multiple releases (based on who's packaging), all somewhat different from each other, and somewhat inoperative as well. There's only one release to FreeBSD (per major version) Linux tends to be more cutting-edge and trendy, and tends to work with more hardware (to some degree), partly because of the "arrangements" made with vendors. FreeBSD requires that source code be freely obtainable for (nearly?) all it's parts, which scares some vendors into not cooperating, or at least not as well. The hardware that _is_ supported tends to be done pretty robustly. Linux is snappier for low-user-count systems, depending on what you're trying to do. FreeBSD tends to shine under real load (like WWW/FTP servers), and I don't really know if any major sites base such Internet services on Linux; quite a few seem to be using FreeBSD, particularly Walnut Creek CDROM, which carries quite a load on a consistent basis. There are far more books on Linux than FreeBSD per se, something I draw no conclusions on. The support on the Linux list(s) is something I haven't any personal experience with; the support on the FreeBSD lists is exemplary. [opinions off] Please correct any sins of commission and ommission you find above; I don't do this often enough to be any good at it. your mileage may vary, and best wishes, larry From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 24 06:58:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA11803 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 06:58:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from cisco.it ([194.183.8.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA11798 for ; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 06:58:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from client01 (www.cisconet.it [194.183.8.20]) by cisco.it (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA14658 for ; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 15:58:59 +0100 (MET) Message-ID: <3336959D.5865@cisco.it> Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 15:54:21 +0100 From: Antonio Nati X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Tape and planner problems with amanda Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Two kind of problems: 1) tape: amdump refuses to work with /dev/nrst0 (that should be the onde to be used), and seems to be more patient with /dev/rst0. 2) planner: the planner gets a signal 8 (floating exception) and exits without giving the backup strategy to amdump.

When I upgrade on Friday to 2.1.7 is there anything I can do to take advantage of the other processor? 2. Any idea how long "make world" will take with a 133 Mhz and 64 MB of RAM? (4GB SCSI disk). Is there any part of the compile I can do in advance to speed up the process? I want to cut down on the time I have the users locked out. 3.

These time outs are very similar (in appearance at least) to the same type of problems I reported in 2.1.6 with my SCSI tape and SCSI CD-ROM on an aha2940 - except they would lock up the entire SCSI bus in my case... However, in 2.1.7 my problem was improved somewhat; in that only the one process would lock up. In 2.1.7.1 my problem was worsened in that the entire machine locks up. In a GAMMA version of 2.2 the problem was slightly improved, in that I would see the messages; (and, presumably my tape was not correctly written), but the machine wouldn't lock up; nor would the process.. but, I was running that in single user mode without the need for a swap, so no other SCSI activity was occuring. Anyway, it's my experience that things are improving in this area, but not quite there yet... As a counter point; at work a friend has several SCSI devices on two aha2940s; using a 2.2-GAMMA release; not a single problem... - Dave Rivers - > > Any other suggestions ??

Assuming your machine's primary ethernet address is 192.1.1.1 and you want to add networks 192.2.2.0 and 192.3.3.0 to the same wire: route add 192.2.2.0 192.1.1.1 1 route add 192.3.3.0 192.1.1.1 1 Essentially, you just route the packets for the new networks onto the same interface you already have. Also, you wouldn't end up routing all of the packets through your little Cisco. The Cisco at least would have to be given routes to the two new networks, and it will send ICMP Redirects to anyone on the LAN sending it a packet destined for the same LAN. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Many of the commercial providers, like SprintLink and networkMCI use routing protocols that are specific to Cisco and they will not support you unless you buy a Cisco. Sad, but true. In our network of standards, it appears that some are more standard that others. ;^) The only way to know for sure is to talk with the technical people at the company you're signing up with. It may be worthwhile to look at several and find one who will support, or at least accept, a FreeBSD endpoint.

My goal was to have one drive be completely DOS, and the second drive have a small DOS partition followed by FreeBSD. That way I could keep the existing system isolated and pass data via the small DOS partition on the new disk. I have both systems up and running independently (by plugging/unplugging SCSI cables), but I can't seem to get the boot manager to allow me to boot from either disk. The BIOS hangs and I get the message "Drive not ready: Please insert disk into A:". Here's the setup - Monitor - MAG Innovision DX17 Video Board - ATI Mach64 SCSI Board - NCR PCI-SC200 3.5" Floppy - Safronic DS-34A Chip - P54C/CT 90 Mhz RAM - 16 MB CD-ROM - Mitsumi CRMC-FX001D Internal SCSI devices: Conner 4mm DAT drive - ID 04, termination enabled Original HD (DOS Primary) Quantum ProDrive LPS 540 MB - ID 01 No partitions, no boot manager.

I want to keep disk 01 WIN95 isolated as I can't afford to "hose" it (although I wouldn't mind throwing it out the window). I feel alot more comfortable setting up and administering FreeBSD than trying to re-install WIN95. WIN95 works OK now, and as they say... If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! I've got two working systems on separate disks who really would like to be plugged in at the same time and talk to each other. Any ideas on how to get them to play nicely??? HELP!!!

Excellent cards, shop well and $70 will get you a generic S3Virge with 4 Meg EDO Ram. The only problem is, 24/32 bpp modes aren't supported in XF32. XF32A supports 24 bpp mode for the non VRAM Virge, but reportedly Netscape and a few other programs have problems running in this mode with the S3Virge server.

Under 2.1.5, whenever I boot the installation floppy, I get the following line: [43:]fd(43,a)/kernel as the default boot device. Since there is no fd(43), I get a spontaneous reboot and am forced to type fd(0) each time to boot the floppy successfully. This strange disease has infected booting from my wd(0) device as well. Whenever I try to boot from wd(0), I get the same line as above: [43:]fd(43,a)/kernel Here, of course, I am forced to type wd(0) at the boot prompt to avoid a spontaneous reboot. Now here's the interesting part. I recently upgraded (over PPP ftp) my system to the 2.2-RELEASE. When booting from the new boot floppy, I get what I expect as the default boot device fd(0,a)/kernel and all goes well, but I still get [43:]fd(43,a)/kernel and the spontaneous reboot problem when attempting to boot 2.2 from wd0. Of course, I chose the upgrade option under the new sysinstall and all my filesystems were NOT rebuilt from scratch. My guess is that the new installation did not overwrite my booter with a new copy. Does anybody suspect that if I were to go through the upgrade process again (only bin distribution?), and set NEWFS to Y for ONLY the / fs, that my problem will disappear? Is the booter actually on the root fs??? If so, are there any other concerns that I need to know about with recreating the root filesystem from scratch aside from having to recreate some /dev entries, restore /etc, and reset some symbolic links? Should I expect my system to behave strangely with respect to my preexisting packages/ports? (Note /var is its own fs.) Also, is bin the only distribution I might potentially need to completely restore the / fs? Aside from various packages and ports, I have the following dists installed on my system: bin manpages src (sys only) info dict proflibs (what exactly is this anyway?) compat21 xf86 Thanks, JM -- Respond to: Jeffrey_M._Metcalf@ccmail.bms.com or: metcalf@snet.net http://ruddles.stat.uconn.edu/~jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 24 11:29:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA29351 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 11:29:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from militzer.me.tuns.ca (militzer.me.tuns.ca [134.190.50.153]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA29149 for ; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 11:27:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (bemfica@localhost) by militzer.me.tuns.ca (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id PAA18123 for ; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 15:26:34 -0400 (AST) Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 15:26:34 -0400 (AST) From: Antonio Bemfica Reply-To: Antonio Bemfica To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: can't compile kernel - aha1542 errors on 2.2 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've tailored the kernel on my machine (486DX66 with FreeBSD 2.2) and it seems to compile fine, until the point when it says "loading kernel", where it stops with error code 1 and prints out the following messages: aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_alloc_bus' referenced from text segment aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_attachdevs' referenced from text segment aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_3btou' referenced from text segment aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_3btoi' referenced from text segment aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_done' referenced from text segment aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_uto3b' referenced from text segment aha1542.o: Undefined symbol `_scsi_print_addr' referenced from text segment (I did "make depend" before "make", just in case you're wondering...)

I've never used the bs option when using dd to make boot floppies though. Is your CD SCSI or ATAPI? Your CD may not have been detedcted during setup. After getting the main menu hit scroll lock and scroll up and see if you can find the CD probe message. > The only options I selected, as I remember were setting the > editor to 'vi', and some level of debug messages to YES.

I used to use linux, and seem to remember that I liked it a lot. But, since using FreeBSD, I've forgotten what it was that I liked about Linux, I most certainly do not remember enough to compare the two. My best advice, would be to give FreeBSD a try, and learn it 'til you know as much about it as you do linux. Keep notes, so that you can answer this same question for others.

I have a pentium pro 200 (two processors) with three scsi devices (excluding the controller) on disk 1 I have Windows 95, on disk 2 I have Windows NT 4.0 (my primary os) and a free partition of 2 gigs (which is where I want to install freeBSD) and a JAZZ drive. I also have a Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM drive. I am trying to install 2.1.7 (and soon 2.2). The two questions I have are 1) can I use the boot manager and keep my current configuration, even though BSD isn't on the first drive, and if so do I install in on drive 1 or drive 2? 2) When the install comes up should I tell BSD that I'm installing from a Mitsumi CD or from a DOS partition since it is an IDE cd-rom?

If however, I manually connect with ppp and then disconnect, and then start ppp in auto mode, the ping correctly forces the auto dial. I have examined the routing tables before the manual connection, and after the manual connection, and they appear to be identical. I am not using the pseudo-device ppp, but rather tunnel support.

This is the same behavior (in Kermit and other serial programs) that I observed in SCO, so it's not strictly a Kermit problem (and never happens when I use Kermit on non-UNIX platforms). What confuses is me is why, without my having changed anything, it just started happening (after a week of normal behavior). Never happens when I switch back to local view of file system -- just when I'm viewing the remote system. Could someone tell me why this occurs, and how to change it? I have to reboot to OS/2 to dial out, now. I've tried temporary adjustments in the terminal settings, but to no avail. Second serial port, USR Sportster. Other host is VT100 and up on SunOS 4 system. I'm at 2.1.7-RELEASE. Please just email me in private if you think this is too simple for the list. I couldn't find anything in the docs on this problem. Thanks!

I had originally puchased a 3COM Etherlink III PCMCIA card but when that didn't seem to work I immediately purchased an IBM Ethernet II card. That didn't work either. Finally I got a message from Doug White saying I should look at the PAO package. That worked just perfectly with the IBM card but had a rather low throughput (like, about 6Kbps). I then tried the same package with the 3COM card and it worked wonderfully! The throughput is great. So... I'm going to send back the IBM card and keep the 3COM card. (As a side note, I believe it was Doug White who mentioned that the 3C589D rev. card is not supported. Well... It's supported using the latest PAO package just fine!) Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know the final outcome of this. I now have X11 up and am writing this reply from my laptop! I *love* it!

The Install cd was still in the drive after the third upgrade: : aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa : aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle : (aha0:3:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-6XCS 2.05" type 5 removable SCSI 2 : cd0(aha0:3:0): CD-ROM cd present.[262254 x 2048 byte records] I may try the upgrade again this weekend, with a closer attention to note taking.

The version of FreeBSD is 2.1.6. (from a CD-ROM). What should the device be? I would assume ed0 since it is NE2000, but how do I set the IRQ and base address? The IRQ might change if I add or remove any other PCI cards and there does not seem to be any way for me to set the base address of the card (i.e. the set-up disk that came with the card does not provide any way to view or set a familiar address such as 0x300h.) I thought PCI cards did not need this type of set-up?? Can PCI based NE2000 compatible cards be used with FreeBSD, or are only certain PCI network cards supported? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Make world will complete, without any error messages and I recompiled my kernel after the last successful make world. I have been using fetchmail for quite some time with the same version of FBSD. Recently I shut down my system for about 2 1/2 days (because it's a home system and I was gone). When I fired the machine up again fetchmail would 'run' but could nolonger D/L my mail. This machine had been off and on for most of it's life. It's not a server, so I have no reason to keep the machine up 24/7 (unless I want to help keep PG&E in business). The error message I get when I run fetchmail -av is SMTP connection failed. I have two email accounts (on different servers), so I have a .fetchmailrc file which has never been modified. Any ideas?

I tried adding it later on and it worked. I thought that controler was only necessary if you wanted to "wire down" your SCSI devices.

Oooh, another "unsafe" header file. You probably need to make sure that is included before .

My problem is taht I can't get the installation floppy to boot, I created it with rawrite3.com and the boot.flp image. What happens when I boot up my system with the floppy is that a blinking cursor appears and thats it, and when I press a key, my system restarts without it having booted from the floppy. I have checked to make sure that the floppy drives port, IRQ and DRQ are correct according to the hardware guide, and they are. I should probably mention that I'm trying to install FreeBSD version 2.1.5.

Cc: bugs@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk It seems that /etc/hosts is no longer used by FreeBSD design. Is this a bug or intended to do in this way? The FreeBSD seems intend to use DNS all the time, regardless the content of the /etc/hosts. Would some one please tell me if any way to force FreeBSD to use /etc/hosts to do the name resolving? The problem is that the DNS may taken down for service or un-reachable due to some network problem; then all machines will hang until DNS come back, which is real painful when this happened and the /etc/hosts cannot be used for backup. If the /etc/hosts has been intended to put out of service, it may be concerned as a bug because there is no way to guarantee all DNS up all the time.

Thats the first step I think. Not sure what you mean by console. If that's the xterm that, when exited, will TERM twm, then I've tried it and all I get is black. If it's a virtual terminal, then colorls produces nice colors there.

My card's software told me that it was irq 10 and i/o port 0xef80. 3) If installing for the first time, boot the disk. If you are adding this card to an existing system, type -c at the Boot: prompt. 4) Select the non-visual configuration if using the boot disk. If booting your existing system, I believe that this is the default. 5) Set the i/o port and irq for ed0 by typing irq ed0 10 port ed0 0xef80 Of course, use whatever numbers your card's software gave you in step 2. 6) type q and press enter to continue the installation/booting. Your card should work. If you are adding this card to a system with the kernel source, you can set this stuff up in the kernel configuration file. There is a line like: device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr which you can change to device ed0 at isa? port 0xef80 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr Recompile your kernel, reboot, and call it a day. Hope this helps.

The probe does not show the P-rating (just the MHz clock). So the K5-PR133 shows 100MHz, but I'm not sure how it is if you jumper the cpu as 66x2. Either way, it will run at full PR speed.

Booteasy can be tricky. It depends a lot on your setup. OS-BS, another boot manager, is available in tools/ from where you got FreeBSD. If Booteasy isn't working for you myou might try that.

Normally fetchmail uses SMTP connection to the localhost to deliver the messages it downloads from the mail sever. Thus, you need to have a MTA listening to port 25 on the host runnig fetchmail, or alternatively you need to configure fetchmail to use a local MDA directly. Other than that, I can't say very much without seeing the messages from the failed fetchmail run.

Yes I do have senmail running. I just solved this problem. I looked in the /etc/sysconfig file and noticed that routed was NOT running. I changed the line from router="NO" to router=routed and rebooted the machine. Surpirse, now fetchmail works. I keep seeing many, many postings on both -current and -questions that routed _IS NOT NEEDED_ for anything. This truely is a case the proves otherwise. The only thing that I changed was the router line in sysconfig and now fetchmail works.

I use fetchmail, and certainly do not need to use routed. However, you may well have been suffering from some other networking problem. For example, the default sendmail configuration needs to have DNS working. I use on-demand ISDN line to connect from home to the net, and in the booting phase adding some manual routes the route command does name lookups and initiates the ISDN dialing. Sometimes if I'm in hurry, and know that I don't need the net during that session, I cancel that by pressing CTRL-C during the startup, and the net is left in bad state. This can cause sendmail not to start up properly, and could later cause fetchmail to fail. Anyways, if your problem is solved, everything is fine...

What version of FreeBSD are you running? I can't remember the start of this thread anymore. :) I use fetchmail here on hobbes (which runs 2.2-BETA) without any routing software loaded, and it works fine. If I remember right you were running something fairly recent, but I can't remember what. Still doesn't explain why it didn't work without routed... Later......

To FreeBSD, and most UNIX systems, a modem is just something plugged into a "tty" port; the driver is a tty driver. The AT commands are all handled by the application itself, not in any system-level driver code. If you tell us what you need to do with your radio modem, we might be able to give you some pointers.

Pardon the RTFM. ;-) You can use a simple script to copy quotas for all users, so only the first need be done manually. Good idea to except your account(s), root, and system related UIDs. Depending on how your filesystems are set up, you may wish to use group quotas. This is especially true for filesystems that have both user files and systems files, where filling the disk would be a bad idea for the system. As an example if you have mail or user directories on the same filesystem that syslog writes to. Always a good idea to spread disk IO around and better to have a playground filesystem that only users affect users and not the overall system. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 25 21:16:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA15799 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:16:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from hod (hod.tera.com [206.215.142.67]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA15793 for ; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:16:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from athena.tera.com (athena.tera.com [206.215.142.62]) by hod (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA08974 for ; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:15:32 -0800 (PST) From: Gary Kline Received: (from kline@localhost) by athena.tera.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA02341 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:15:30 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199703260515.VAA02341@athena.tera.com> Subject: OK, one last thing...

Edit the line in your kernel file (/sys/i386/conf/ and change the values. I'm using ed1, as you are not saying what the kernel thinks it is on boot. device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr You want say 0x280 and IRQ 9, so: device ed1 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 9 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr Rebuild and reboot. You can do the same thing with interactive mode (-c) on boot, which in your case I hope you can either find out or set the card via jumper and avoid hit and miss. Most cards are addressed at 280 or 300 and 5 or 10 for the IRQ I hate cards with no config disk. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 25 21:37:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA17011 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:37:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA17006; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:37:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by root.com (8.8.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id VAA10060; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:38:55 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199703260538.VAA10060@root.com> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.root.com: localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: Mark E Larson cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: intel 100b warning message In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 25 Mar 1997 20:26:50 EST." <3.0.32.19970325202649.00b05320@agisgate.agis.net> From: David Greenman Reply-To: dg@root.com Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 21:38:55 -0800 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >Ok, I have FreeBSD 2.2.1 running with 2 Intel 100B cards.

It's a new message I added to tell me when people had unusual cards where the PHY (The PHYsical layer chip) is not a National DP83840. In this case, the card should still work, but it might not work in full duplex mode and you won't be able to force 10/100 or half/full (which requires PHY diddling). "type=1" above tells me that the PHY is an 82553 (made by Intel). I didn't know that Intel made any Pro/100B's with that (all of the ones I have here have National DP83840's).

I would guess that more end users have Linux, but don't care to guess if FBSD is more popular than Linux in an ISP environment and if there were stats on this I would further like to see a break down on the size of the ISP as well. FWIW, I refuse to admin a Linux box. If a customer has one, I get paid by the hour for help. Opionions and overviews of what to do/use are FOC (and no I don't say dump Linux). All a matter of preference and there are several distributions of Linux to further confuse your choice.

Of course some may not have that option or a driver disk for a generic card, which I also dumped those to 95 workstations.

When I used to rpogram X (back in X11R3 days) they were excellent. Take a look at: http://www.ora.com/publishing/unix/products.htm There's a series of about 9 books on the subject there. You can skip volume 0 (unless you intent to write your own Xlib or XServer), volume 3 (if you know how to *use* X) and volume 8 (if you know how to install and configure X and its options). The rest (i.e. 1,2,4,5 and 6A-C for Motif) are all that you need to program X. You can probably get those books at better prices in other places too. > > So, I thought I would see how far I could go just reading the man pages. > Basically, I am just trying to get a window (white... or actually _any_ > background) up on the screen.

See the handbook for details about building your own kernel. You can use many boot managers to switch between booting FreeBSD and other OSs. FreeBSD comes with two of those: BootEasy and OS/BS.

When I startup X the window manager (fvwm) and various xterms appear correctly and the mouse works. However, the keyboard doesn't work. If I disconnect and then connect the keyboard it begins to work - although even then if I press keys such as Caps lock, Scroll local, Num lock then it stops working again. In addition switching to a virtual terminal from X (e.g. ctrl-alt-F2) also stops the keyboard working and the disconnect mechanism has to be used again. I am using an AJP 7500 notebook computer (486) and a docking station which then has the keyboard plugged into the docking station. I get slightly different behaviour when I use the notebook keyboard i.e. the keyboard functions all of the time but there are still problems with the Caps lock etc. but they are not as severe since after a number of keypresses the keyboard functions normally. In all cases the lights indicating which "lock" is pressed do not light. When X is not being using the keyboard functions correctly in all cases. I have tried with and without the xkb support but the problem seems to be the same. I have been using previous versions of FreeBSD on this machine for several years without problem. Any suggestions as to the solution would be gratefully received. Please could you reply directly as I don't subscribe to the list.

XView is very easy to program in, and I actually quite like the Openlook interface.

I would venture to say that FreeBSD is fundamentally described as a 4.4BSD-Lite based operating system. This means, more or less, that FreeBSD is a UNIX flavor, and (as mentioned somewhere on the web site) a UNIX flavor with a noble heritage. Typically, when people talk about UNIX in general, they are talking about either BSD-style UNIX or SYSV-style UNIX.

If you're using a single PPP link as your connection to the net, you need to turn off routed and modify your PPP configuration to add a default router through the PPP connection whenever it comes up.

FWIW, I still consider myself a newbie, but when Fetchmail was not working I could still telnet to both servers and 'surf' the web (using lynx, I'm still waiting for UPS to find my house to deliver Xinside). From my limited understanding, if a route to the outside world didn't exist, then why would everything else work, but not Fetchmail under the same conditions?

If you installed any documentation at all, the handbook should be on your hard drive in /usr/share/doc/handbook, including, in that directory, handbook.ascii, which is the whole thing and can be read and searched with a word processor. I split it into sections and printed it out in booklet form, which I've found very useful. (I used pcbook.exe, a dos program.) The Unix System Administration Handbook by Nemeth et.al is a very good overview of how things work, with "BSD" sections that are directly relevant.

Get a small HD (200-500MB) and pop it in a PC and install FreeBSD on it. If you have a CD, use that, even if it is an old version - make your life easy - alternatively use whatever means you have. Make sure you have a partition with > 100MB space. Get the package or port for wget: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/net/wget Build and install wget on this machine. Set up anonymous ftp (see man ftpd) with the home directory of user ftp in the partition with lots of space (e.g. /usr/home/ftp) cd ~ftp (Substitute your local mirror site, of course) wget -X /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7.1-RELEASE/des -m -r -nH \ ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7.1-RELEASE wget -m -r -nH \ ftp://ftp.internat.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7.1-RELEASE/des (on a modem 4-6 hours pass - set it up before you go to bed) You now have a bootable FreeBSD hard disk with an anonymous ftp site which has a mirror of the important parts of 2.1.7.1-RELEASE If you are inside the USA, you can skip the -X ...des bit. So, whenever you want to do an install, take the hard disk with you, plug it into a nearby machine and specify an ftp server by URL in the setup. Mirroring specific packages is left as an exercise to the reader.

Isnt that only true of Busmaster SCSI controllers? There are PIO SCSI controllers, although im not sure if that one is. (Note I am not saying he should use IDE, by any means.

Thanks, Michael Alwan ------------446B9B3D2781E494167EB0E70 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="supmail.txt" Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="supmail.txt" To all: Downloaded the modula-lib-3 package and cvsup-14.1.1.tgz pakcages, which seemed to install ok. Started a ppp connection with my ISP, ran "cvsup stable-supfile"; immediately got the error message "can't get IP address of my own host -- is its host name correct?" I get this message whether or not I'm running user ppp. Looked more carefully at the latest version of freebsd handbook. It says not to use the modula and cvsup packages with systems earlier than 2.2 (I have 2.1.7). So I got the reccommended dtatically linke binaries instead from freefall.freebsd. These installed ok. Ran cvsup again as above, got the same error message. Included below is the stable-supfile I am using--probably incorrrectly configured, but I need more information. Another question: if I cvsup the 2.2.1 sorces, am I getting binaries that simply replace those on my system--like installing a new distribution? Or am I getting code that hs to be compiled on my machine? I see messages on the mailing lists about people cvsupping and then having to "make world," which I assume means recompiling all binaries on their system. What exactly takes place? If these binaries are being remade, do I need a lot of free disk space--"scratch" space as it were--in /usr? My 500MB freebsd partition is 70% full in the /usr slice. Sorry for so many questions, but one implies the other. Thanks!!!

I'm not sure if this might adversely affect some system utilities, but you could try commenting out the "telnetd" line of your /etc/inetd.conf file. That would make the inetd server think you don't have the telnet daemon program, so it would start up telnet, disabling logins.] --Ludwig Pummer ----------------------------------------------------------------- ludwigp@sns.com http://chipweb.home.ml.org http://www.sns.com/~ludwigp <--^-- Updated 11/22/96 PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 26 20:02:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA01480 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 26 Mar 1997 20:02:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from email7.starnetinc.com (email7.starnetinc.com [204.178.185.113]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA01462 for ; Wed, 26 Mar 1997 20:02:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from otter (max01-045.starnetinc.com [206.138.83.45]) by email7.starnetinc.com (8.8.3/8.8.2) with ESMTP id DAA28510 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 03:58:35 GMT Message-Id: <199703270358.DAA28510@email7.starnetinc.com> From: "otter" To: Subject: Need help bad Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 22:02:24 -0600 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 Hi, OK, I'll admit it I'm just starting out in UNIX. My problem is this: I have FreeBSD setup right and everything appears OK. I cannot start X Windows. Yes I installed it using the setup when I put BSD on. I go into the /usr/X11R6/bin directory and type in startx and basically all of the other executables. Nothing happens except I get a file not found error. I believe I am using the bash shell, and nothing seems to work. Even with SuperUser power I can't reboot or shutdown with the /sbin/shutdown series of commands. I am using a Matrox Millennium and have installed it to a JAZ drive. I am using FreeBSD 2.1.7.

Unfortunately, X is a big mess for now, I wouldn't have recommended playing with it if your exsiting copy was v3.2 and working properly.

Make sure there is only one libXmu, reboot, and if that doesn't work, dig out your 2.1.6 CD and reinstall X from that.

Changing into that directory doesn't help because (unlike MS-DOG) the current directory is, by default, not in the path (for many good reasons that tend to start religious wars, so I won't repeat them...). Just add it to your path and it should be working. Second, what do you mean by "can't reboot or shutdown with /sbin/shutdown". What does happen?

I seem to have the same > problem but want to fix it the correct way. Nice, that's the right attitude ;-)) I'm using the xdm for all my X11 login/start procedures, but that doesn't matter now! Every time you start X via startx, the server (/usr/X11R6/bin/X) is executed by xinit! Startx calls xinit which uses the xinitrc file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit (take a look at this file!). There is a variable $sysresources, which specifies the system wide init file for X11 resources, called /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources. Into this file you can put all the system wide, user independent resources, especially the line *customization: -color Comment: This line leads to the use of the "Applicationname-color" files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, e.g. XTerm-color if they exist! After this the "color initialization", is done when you use startx and as a result the default xterm and colorls should work properly! When you want to use xdm, it's the users problem to realize this initialization in the correct way. A possible way is to use the following in your .xsession file in the users home directory userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap # merge in defaults and keymaps if [ -f $sysresources ]; then xrdb -merge $sysresources fi if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi # start your preferred X11 applications now xterm -geometry +0+0 & xterm -geometry +0+350 & fvwm Make the the .xsessionrc executable! Now you have the correct initialization also for the xdm login procedure! .Xresourced in your home directory can be used to set your preferred colors, etc. for the applications you use. Now your xterm should always be happy with colors!

The output is correct. Remember that the space is the separator between options.

That's awful petty of them. Media costs money. This isn't welfare. You can easily get FreeBSD for free via the internet.

Instead I just made XTerm reflect what XTerm-color would have if it were loaded. I agree that XTerm-color should be automatically loaded, but I don't know where I can find the xrdb database, and I don't know how I can add "*customaziation: -color" to it. It seems to me that xrdb is a binary, so I need to issue some command, such as: xrdb -append "*customaziation: -color" The man page is not helping me understand what to do, either. Can you clarify how I can put the color in my xrdb database?

I would be most gratefull if people could advise me on this topic. Some questions in my mind: What are they using? How flexible is it? What is the penalty of a crashed disk and how fast and easy is the system again rebuild. How is the RAID managed? How much did it cost?

This is for a student course starting in two weeks. So far I managed to get a setup where the clients get the passwd via yp, also that still lacks the fullname, shell and home dir entries. But I am confident to get that managed. Anyway, what really bits me is the fact, that the clients complain about rpc.yppasswdd not running on the host, while in fact it is. On Linux I tried it the orignal yppasswd-0.5 and ypclients-2.2 package. BTW, calling 'passwd ' or 'passwd -y ' on the FreeBSD server causes it to catch a SEGV, while giving a non-existent account name will give the correct "unknown" user Error. Any quick help is appreciated, because if I can't get it up by next week, I'd have reinstall the Linux server :-( Thanks, Martin PS.: This is with RELEASE-2.2 -- Martin Ostermann | mailto:ost@comnets.rwth-aachen.de Communication Networks | http://www.comnets.rwth-aachen.de/~ost Aachen University of Technology | phoneto:++49/241/807917 Germany | faxto:++49/241/8890378 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 27 10:10:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA02506 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 09:52:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA02456 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 09:52:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from mixcom.mixcom.com (mixcom.mixcom.com [198.137.186.100]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with SMTP id GAA04022 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 06:21:25 -0800 (PST) Received: by mixcom.mixcom.com (8.6.12/2.2) id IAA24863; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 08:21:42 -0600 Received: from p75.mixcom.com(198.137.186.25) by mixcom.mixcom.com via smap (V1.3) id sma024841; Thu Mar 27 14:21:14 1997 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970327081343.00ba6ac0@mixcom.com> X-Sender: sysop@mixcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 08:13:44 -0600 To: wss@king.cts.com From: "Jeffrey J.

I don't know of any limit offhand, but will say that this is not a good idea and is a good example of when to start using sub-directories. Just consider how long it takes for a dir to even start writing to the terminal, now consider that any program accessing a file in such a long directory listing. What I know will not work is 'rm *' and it will say "argument list too long" and choke. We have one web site that has over 9000 files and directories. This was also in the document root for the site.

I don't venture into this dir, unless the want help changing the structure. 8-) When mail spool directories and home directories for users grow in the 1000+ range it is time to divide things from a to z and speed things up. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 27 10:11:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA02366 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 09:52:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA02308 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 09:51:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from bridget.devlab.org (root@[194.185.12.6]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with SMTP id GAA04142 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 06:47:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (matra@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by bridget.devlab.org (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id DAA00086 for ; Fri, 21 Mar 1997 03:58:45 GMT Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 03:58:45 +0000 (GMT) From: matra X-Sender: matra@bridget.devlab.org To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: sio problems ...

We have numerous networks, Sun, Netware, and Mac printing to some HP laser printers. I asked my sys admin how to print to any of them from my PC, I have both DOS and BSD on it. He told me to erase BSD and install Linux and he'd think about helping me. I can ping the printer and I know there must be a way to print to it, but will I be able to do it without my sys admin's help? I have limited permissions in netware, but I might have enough on the Sun box. If anyone has any suggestions, please also e-mail my address, mjanosi@numacorp.com, because I have only e-mail access to the internet and I had to quit the mailing list because of the volume of e-mail.

It should work as long as the print queues are set up to accept print jobs from other servers and you have printcap setup for remote print queues. You might want to check the setting of the queue using Pconsole or coax your sysadmin into changing the settings. I've also heard another way of getting this to work by using Jetadmin. I don't know the details on that, but I'm pretty sure it was from this list so you can probably search for the message.

APC doesn't support FreeBSD. You'll have to use the upsd daemon that we've hacked up. This FTP server only accepts two people at a time.

Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. **WARNING!** Do **NOT** upgrade XFree86 at this time. The binary distributed with 2.2 is built for 3.0-CURRENT, which has longer usernames. It will corrupt your utmp file, which will cause w, who, and associated utils to give odd output. If you have dire need to upgrade, you will want to rebuild xdm and xterm, and probably the whole package, before using it. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Answer people - I've got a new Pentium Pro 150, 64MB RAM, running FreeBSD 2.2.1. The machine was running 2.2.0 for about a day, and seemed to be solid. I cvsupped 2.2.1 yesterday, built a new kernel, and ran make world before I left yesterday. This morning, the machine was hosed (it had apparently rebooted at least once overnight, and was totally hung when I got here). I built a new kernel with DDB enabled, and played around with it for a while, but was unable to cause a crash. It was when I came back to it after leaving for a few minutes (about 10 or 15, i think) that it was down. I've been able to duplicate this several times now - leave the machine alone for 10-15 minutes, and... Fatal double fault: eip = 0xf01bc45c esp = 0xefbfe000 ebp = 0xefbfe058 panic: double fault Debugger("panic") [now it's completely hung, needs to be rebooted...] Does this point to some unhandled power management feature, since it only seems to happen when the machine is idling?

It should be incrementing, your system is talking to the rest of the world. A good acid test is telnet: can you connect to ther machines okay? I think the Ether addr reported by FreeBSD is right and the setup program is wrong.

The only boot disk we had for it was LodeRunner. One night I'd played from level 8 up to 14, been stting at that damned thing for about 6 hours, and on my way home approached a major intersection (Harrison & Washington /US89 for you Ogden-ites) and saw a car approaching from the right. I thought to myself "no problem, I'll just burn a hole, he'll fall into it, and I can go right no through the light. When I relaized what had happened, I locked up the brakes and stopped about 3 feet into the intersection. I stopped playing LodeRunner for a while after that. Retire that Apple ][ back to coffe-table status and find a copy of Xrunner. It's not quite as good as the Apple version, but still entertaining.

The archives are all DOS-compatible filenames. The packages are the sticky point -- in that case, note the original name, and when you copy them to the UNIX side just restore the name.

This depends on what will be the clients. It's possible, but multiple paths are available. If the FreeBSD machine will be serving the Win95 box, then definitely go Samba. The other way is harder to handle. In either case Samba would be a good thing to install. It's in the ports tree.

Win95-> FreeBSD requires other software. It should work okay if FreeBSD is the dialer. See the Tutorials at http://www.freebsd.org for instructions on setting this up.

Make sure that /etc/sysconfig's ifconfig_xxx lines are configured properly for your network, that the defaultrouter item is set proplerly, and that routed is disabled.

I think what Ryan is looking for is: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC Which will only exist if the /src/ssys.aa, ssys.ab, ssys.ac distribution was installed on his system. Be sure to preserve an original GENERIC, and read the kernel section of the handbook, which will be at: /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html assuming you did install /doc/doc.aa, doc.ab, etc. Ken Marsh From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 27 14:47:43 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA00172 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 14:47:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from mixcom.mixcom.com (mixcom.mixcom.com [198.137.186.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA00163 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 14:47:36 -0800 (PST) Received: by mixcom.mixcom.com (8.6.12/2.2) id QAA21527; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 16:49:25 -0600 Received: from p75.mixcom.com(198.137.186.25) by mixcom.mixcom.com via smap (V1.3) id sma021507; Thu Mar 27 22:49:00 1997 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970327164121.006ee0a4@mixcom.com> X-Sender: sysop@mixcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 16:41:21 -0600 To: Dan Wolfe From: "Jeffrey J.

I can ping the printer and I Tell your sys admin to rip his/her/its head out of his/her/its behind; printer administration on FreeBSD is simple. Now, on to your other problems. If the Sun is running SunOS, you should be able to look at /etc/printcap on the Sun and get all of the information you need to setup your /etc/printcap. A good book on UNIX administration, such as Seebas et al, will help in this area. If your Sun is running Solaris, you can probably still find the information, but the SVR4 line printer system in nearly indecipherable for people who've been using it for years (like me), let alone a novice. The pertinent question to ask your sys admin (before you do the bit about his/her/its behind) is to ask of there is an "lpd" print queue for it. Then setup your printcap file, as others have so aptly demonstrated, to point to the print queue. BTW, you don't need to worry about converting text to postscript for your HP printer; they all default to working like a standard HP printer until they see something that looks like a postscript job. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

GENERAL FREEBSD_QUESTIONS USAGE NOTE: You should search for this message in the mail archives before sending it to 50,000 people or so via email; this subject has been discussed ad nauseum. You're adding a default route when the PPP link comes up, right? But you're not deleteing any existing default route first, right? In ppp.linkup, before you 'add 0 0 HISADDR', try 'delete 0 0': MYADDR: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR > Sometimes I get also the message "rtinit: wrong ifa ...", but I dont > know, if this has something to do with the first error message. Yeah, something to do with the ifa_addrlist in the PPP if structure. Deleting the old address should take care of this problem. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

All of them I've tripped upon lately insist on \r\n line termination. For now I simply remember to push my non-PS print jobs thru a2ps. Eventually I'll do it right and rig a filter to either prefix with a on plain text or always convert to PS. Don't much care for the default text 12-point Courier lined up right at the left edge of the page. Its Postscript and a2ps for me. Found a utility called "rlpr" which implements an lpr/lpd pipe direct to the printer. Its quite useful for a fake local printer "if:" filter script to send the job on to the real printer. The other solution is to loop your job back thru the lpd system pointed toward a remote printer entry. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

(it's an Adaptec AVA-1502e.) I have the Iomega Zip ZOOM SCSI card in one of my home systems, and FreeBSD's aic driver works fine with it -- I may have had to adjust the I/O address and interrupt number in the kernel, but otherwise it has worked well.

When you look around on the FreeBSD sites for help, the mailing lists, especially "questions" are put forward as the primary support while the "search the archives" option is more of an aside. Maybe it should be stressed on this page that you CAN ask on questions for help (as we're such a friendly bunch of people), but FIRST one should search the archive to see if it's been asked before. (and answered) Also maybe we should try and encourage people to have more relevant subject lines to make the search option a little more friendly. just my 2 cents worth Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 27 21:35:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA20684 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 21:35:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from main.gbdata.com (USR2-1.detnet.com [207.113.12.31]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA20678 for ; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 21:35:43 -0800 (PST) Received: (from gclarkii@localhost) by main.gbdata.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA10651; Thu, 27 Mar 1997 23:35:20 -0600 (CST) From: Gary Clark II Message-Id: <199703280535.XAA10651@main.gbdata.com> Subject: Re: Manage Multi domain of mail To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 23:35:19 -0600 (CST) Cc: davide.tome@inet.it, support@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: from Doug White at "Mar 27, 97 12:24:53 pm" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Doug White wrote: > On Tue, 25 Mar 1997, Dott.

Huh? Please re-read what he has said. He wants th same user names on "2" virtual domains loading too two different accounts on the same machine. What you have above will place the mail on in the account pippo@host instead of the two virtual boxes. Your best place to find this informtion is the sendmail-faq. It will explain how to modify both sendmail.cf and create the databases for the system. It is not hard at all once you get used to it:) > > I *highly* suggest checking the mail archives first.

I'd also like to toss in my two cents worth. I *have* checked the archives before asking questions -- things I figured would have been FAQ types of topics, without success. I don't know if there is a problem with the search engine or the numbers of messages or what. And, I've tried downloading all of the archives from questions and hackers and security and building my own mini database I could grep on. That has actually garnered me more success than trying to search the archives. Of course, it is costing me about 150meg... I'm nost sure what can be done. I bought the DOCS cd, but it's interface was so poor I ended up using grep to search it as well. So there *are* those of us who *do* search the archives, and STILL have to ask the question. When I complained of this before, I got lots of sympathy from other such sufferers and people asking me if I had a better way. And I guess I don't. I like the web interface, I just wish I could find things I wanted. Perhaps if it sorted the items by subject instead of just points. Who knows. I just wanted to say that there are some of us who like researching and finding our own answers, but can't seem to get it done sometimes.

However, configuring a firewall is not just knowing how to write the rules, but also deciding on a security policy you want to implement. No one can help you if you don't know what you want the firewall to do. The best would be to get yourself a good book on Internet security.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi ! We need an inexpensive router ( TCP/IP , 3-10 modems , 1-2 Ethers). And haven't very many money . We assembled 386SX w/ 4MB RAM , 40MB HDD , multiport card ... , without keyboard and video card. After I try to install very nice OS - FreeBSD to that configuration on other computer . I partioned 40MB HDD by a following ( 32 MB - root , 8 MB - swap ). And I trying to install FreeBSD 2.2-BETA on this root device ... I simply copying directory hierachy to 32MB / . I'm very tried by this process , ( 2 hours ), but I'm create working system with 7MB free of 32MB . First way to install FreeBSD on super-mini disk slices is addition to Installation menu on boot disks following (Distributions/SuperMini) - only nessesary binaries such as sh, named, route , ..., i.e . for an embedded systems and networking . Or second way ( best ) add to the Distributions following item : SuperCustom for very detailed choice of needed componets . Even in Linux I can select to install only packages which I wish . FreeBSD's sysinstall menu Distributions/Custom has only one choice bin[X] - 33MB . Why ? Where flexibility ? Why Linux ( RedHat and SlackWare ) installator provides more custom- ization in compare to FreeBSD installator ( I use 2.2-BETA_A ) Thanks , Vasily . *******************[FreeBSD it is coolest UNIX for PC!]************************ | System admin , ftp and web master. | Voronezh State Technical University | | http://www.econ.acnit.ac.ru/~bazilio/ | Industrial Economy Departament | ******************************************************************************* From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 28 01:32:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA29737 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 01:32:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from piggy.mdstud.chalmers.se (piggy.mdstud.chalmers.se [129.16.234.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA29732 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 01:32:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from grosse.mdstud.chalmers.se (grosse.mdstud.chalmers.se [129.16.234.21]) by piggy.mdstud.chalmers.se (8.8.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA04040; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 10:32:29 +0100 (MET) Received: from localhost (md6tommy@localhost) by grosse.mdstud.chalmers.se (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA09603; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 10:32:26 +0100 (MET) X-Authentication-Warning: grosse.mdstud.chalmers.se: md6tommy owned process doing -bs Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 10:32:26 +0100 (MET) From: Tommy Hallgren To: Brad Hendrickse cc: Peter Dufault , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Matsushita CR583 on Compaq Presario 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 Fri, 28 Mar 1997, Brad Hendrickse wrote: > On Thu, 27 Mar 1997, Peter Dufault wrote: > > > > > In my case no wcd0 is found.

Turns out that a few things had changed in passwd that caused a number of problems. First, passwd -y sends this message: "Changing NIS password for tim on tim.blah.com." "Old Password: " Where the second line is different than the standard "Old password:". This is the first thing that confused poppassd. It'd be nice if these messages do not change from version to version. Second, the new passwd program calls getlogin() which fails when called by poppassd which is in turned called by inetd. I am not familiar enough with the issues to give any explaination but a setlogin() at the appropriate place fixed the problem. I am enclosing a diff to the popassd.c.orig in the ports collection if anybody cares. I have tested the program for both local passwords and NIS passwords.

The idea is for the clients to be able to calculate all positions, etc. given the exact time and any actions (eg weapon fired) with the times they happened. The times would keep in sync by a time being sent to the clients every 200ms or whatever - each client could be sent times at different rates.

(and answered) Good point. The mailing lists are listed much more prominently on the web site and the CD-ROM booklet than the mail archives. On the other hand, this topic is mentioned every month in the 'How to get more out of the FreeBSD mailing lists' message. On the other hand, this particular question has been asked 3 - 5 times every week for nearly three months now. Having personally answered it a number of times, it is really starting to get redundant. I know that many of the people picking up FreeBSD these days are new to the net as well as UNIX, but it really is quite disturbing to see the social structure that used to be so much a part of internet communications breaking down so rapidly. I am amazed (and disappointed) by the number of people these days who will jump into a mailing list or newsgroup without *any* idea of what happens there on a daily basis. Perhaps if *some* of the newbies lurked in this group for a week or two, they'd see something about these "archives" and go seek them out before asking the same perfectly good question that was asked, and answered, once every day the week before. > Also maybe we should try and encourage people to have more relevant > subject lines to make the search option a little more friendly. Given the number of mesages here every day with *no* subject, or a subject of "Question" or "Problem", I don't see this happening any time soon. Your best bet is to not waste your time with subject-line searches. If you have a problem with PPP and routing, search for PPP and routing in the message bodies. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

There is a simple escape sequence you can send to the HP to tell it text lines are terminated with \n only.

Eudora 3.0 will not break messages until they hit 1000K, which is better than the 64K chunks I used to see and I get some very large reports at times or send files as messages. What I would like to see is mail used for mail, attachments are ok, but customers that use mail as the transport for large files should learn about serv-u ftpd. Worst case was a 40Mb attachment. Two very evil things were: one, a return receipt (a no no for attchments); and they worked in the same office!!! Guess they learned about LANs or PC-PC transfers, cause customer or not, I bitched.

Thanks to Lars's explanation of how xinit initiates, I traced down my problem and got colorls to work the way it was intended - not with a quick fix but with XTerm-color. The problem was that my /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources file was named without the dot, Xresources. xinitrc was looking for a file with the dot.

Can anybody help me or do you need more info? You should read about the differences between a DOS partition and a FreeBSD slice. http://www.freebsd.org "The Handbook" I'll guess that your E: drive is not the only drive on your extended partition. FreeBSD won't use space in your extended partition, so you have to install over the entire extended partition, or use fdisk to resize your extended partition, or use another program to reduced the size of the extended partition to make room for FreeBSD. FreeBSD won't install to a logical drive within a partition. > ---------------------------------------------------------- > THIS MACHINE IS POWERED WITH OS/2 WARP! > ----------------------------------------------------------- check out http://www.in.net/~jayrich/doc/multios.html too! -------------------------------------------------------- Ken Marsh University of Washington durang@u.washington.edu Chemical Engineering -------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 28 13:36:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA05504 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 13:36:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from goodall.u.washington.edu (durang@goodall.u.washington.edu [140.142.12.163]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA05499 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 13:36:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (durang@localhost) by goodall.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW96.12/8.8.4+UW97.03) with SMTP id NAA34248 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 13:36:51 -0800 Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 13:36:51 -0800 (PST) From: "K.

One important point you might have overlooked about the 'How to get more..." message. This message is sent only to those individuals that already subscribe to the mailing lists. This does not get the message accross to the people who need this info, ie. the newbies (I think we've all been there) that go to the www.freebsd.org support page. Most of these people do not subscibe to the list, therefore how are they suppose the benifit from this info? My second point. Before writing this message I visited the support page. The first paragraph basically says the mailing lists are the primary support machanism and when it doubt send your message to -questions. It does state that a search functions is available, but the presentation of the info points to the mailing list first and the search function as an alternative. I didn't look too hard, but maybe a version of the 'How to get more...' message should be posted on the website so that if the user chooses to send a message to the mailing list, they must read this message first. As an alternative, maybe a webpage can be created with the top ten (or twenty) most common questions and answers. I know this info is covered in the FAQ, but there is so much info in the FAQ, that some users feel it's easier to send a help message than plow through the FAQ. That's why I'm suggesting a limit of ten but no more than 20 items. The first two that come to mind are the problem of the missing lib in emacs (from the 2.1.5R CDROM) and the infamous atapi.flp.

Here's my situation: I am trying to set up my box to be rhyolite.org, which will be 10.0.0.2 as the address for the time being (but want to be able to connect to the Internet part of the time). I set up the system in such a manner that when it looks at /etc/hosts it says: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.rhyolite.org 10.0.0.2 rhyolite rhyolite.org And in /etc/sysconfig: hostname="rhyolite.org" defaultdomainname="rhyolite.org" Now we go on to /etc/resolv.conf: search rhyolite.org nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 10.0.0.2 (and I don't want a nameserver -- just a domain name setup) The /etc/host.conf is set up to look at bind first, then hosts. System bootup shows at lo0 this: lo0:8049 mtu 16384 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xff000000 But when I run nslookup with the debug mode on, the result is this: Server: rhyolite.org Address: 0.0.0.0 >set debug >telnet rhyolite ;;res_mkquery(0, telnet.rhyolite.org, 1, 1) recvfrom: Connection refused recvfrom: Connection refused recvfrom: Connection refused recvfrom: Connection refused *** 0.0.0.0 can't find telnet: No response from server Similar results appear when telnet 10.0.0.2 is tried. What am I doing wrong? DNS & BIND doesn't cover single-machine, part-time Internet-connectivity domain setups that much - only touches upon them, so I am a bit on the stumped side. Jack You know you've been using UNIX enough when: * You remember UNIX commands faster than those for DOS. * You try to configure Win95 the same way you try to configure your X window manager. * Someone asks you what wordproc you use and you reply 'vi' (or your favorite text editor). * You type 'ls -a' instead of 'dir /w' in DOS.

Good job and keep up the great work! I can certainly support the sentiment expressed here. FreeBSD is a very impressive piece of work, and everyone associated with it has cause to be proud of the result. If it were not for this team (and others like them who contribute to the other free unices), most of us would be using Uncle Bill's OSes, and THAT'S a scary thought. -- Jerry Dunham GS650G Atarian ordinaire jdunham@fc.net (512)335-0674 (H) jdunham@awesome-f0.us.dell.com (512)728-4026 (O) It's easier to get forgiveness for being wrong than forgiveness for being right.

Check the section on the handbook which explains cvsup. Somewhere in that section is a link to the precompiled version. Just D/L and untar it and follow the instructions in the README (might be called something else) file. The section in the handbook will also help you setup a supfile. Hope this helps.

In order, network first: Edit /etc/hosts and fix up your machines name; it should *always* be in this file. Remove the names of any machines on the old network you won't be talking to anymore. Edit /etc/sysconfig and make sure your ifconfig lines are correct. If you're still using numerical IP addresses in here, this is the time to change them to names and make sure the names are in /etc/hosts. Next time, you won't have to worry about the addresses, just get the names correct. Gateway: If you're using a simple default route, get it while you're in /etc/sysconfig. Make it a name also, and put an entry in /etc/hosts. DNS: If you're just a client, edit /etc/resolv.conf and set your correct nameserver and domain name. Applying: You don't have to reboot the machine, but that is probably the easiest way to get it. If you only have one ethernet interface, you could simply configure it down, then configure it up at the new address and add the new default route. Probably better to reboot. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Perhaps we can modify the mail list manager so that an user who sends a message to -questions and isn't on the subscription list automagically gets a copy of "How to get the most of..." mailed back to them. This will probably cut down the number of completely newbie requests to 2 or 3 per user. > My second point.

I believe this should probably be reworded to reflect that you are probably (99.5% likely) *not* encountering a problem for the first time. Users should be directed to look through the archives first, before sending email to thousands of users all over the world. Postnews used to throw up this lovely message each time you tried to post, saying something to the effect that this message is going to travel over most of the civilized world, costing various people money, are you sure the world cannot live without these comments. If everyone kept this in mind each time they fire off a message, we'd keep the signal to noise ratio here much higher. > As an alternative, maybe a webpage can be created with the top ten (or > twenty) most common questions and answers.

Most human beings, confronted by any list with more that 7 items, will divide it into chunks and ignore all chunks except the one that contains what they're looking for. (Research by Card, Moran, and Newell). A simple blurb beseeching new users to read, or at least browse the FAQ and search for their problem in the -questions archives before posting would be helpful as well. > The first two that > come to mind are the problem of the missing lib in emacs (from the 2.1.5R > CDROM) and the infamous atapi.flp. These both come immediately to mind as well. PPP routing and demaind dialing, the original cause of this thread, is pretty well up there, too. All three of these have been answered quite well recently and are great questions for the "read this before asking yet another newbie question" page. I'll edit the support page and send my suggestions to the WebMaster. I know I could just say to myself "Been there, done that," but often I see these repeated questions go buy and several nosensical answers come up each time, I really want to spare fellow FreeBSDers, even newbies, the irritation of trying all these things that don't work. I should gather my notes into one coherent set of instructions and publish them all over the FreeBSD universe. I'll try to get this done in the next week or so. In the meantime, thanks for a useful discussion. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I see a lot of large PowerPoint attachments that clog mail. The call tech support and end up with the plumber, me. As for smap. Depending on how much mail traffic is currently being used, it is not even close to 2 times the space. More like 1 time and about 1Mb, as SMAPD pushes them to sendmail's queue and senmdail runs every 5 minutes under cron. Not instant anymore, but still I may drop to 1 or 2 minutes. Most are queue'd for non-delivery (timeouts, deferred, etc). Rare is the time we bog and I have thrown over 3000 queue'd message in less than 20 minutes. One minute queue scan for when I got MCI to drop their false BGP announcement. It is hacked to run as a deamon and will spawn, which makes it faster than normal SMTP in the real world. > Oh, yes... back to the original thread, the receive time is correct :-) True, but I feel that how services are used is valid thing. With that in mind, some admins need to run a faster mail server, of a certainty I don't expect lighnting speed from a .edu domain. ;-) Suppose we could do a subject change or drop off the list. Even if I don't participate some digressions are worth the traffic. 8-) ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 28 17:34:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA21297 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 17:34:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from atg2.atgnet.com (root@atg2.atgnet.com [165.254.146.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA21290 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 17:34:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from ofdsk1.atgnet.com (ofdsk1.atgnet.com [165.254.146.21]) by atg2.atgnet.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA11761 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 1997 20:34:09 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199703290134.UAA11761@atg2.atgnet.com> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Moncef" To: freebsd-install@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 21:01:48 +0000 Subject: FreeBSD installation Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.01) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD (2.1.6-RELEASE) over a LAN.

I suppose that adding that try reading the FAQ and handbook pages *before* posting. There have been 2 questions recently that I answered and could have been answered by using the man pages, which shows that some beginners don't know the infomation that they have at their fingers. Just a note about normal human behavior. I, like most admins (I'd like to hope), will try to find what we need locally and pore over man pages, read paper docs, seach web pages, etc and then ask. Of course sometimes admins have a mission critical problem and immediate checking comes up with no guess or the guesses were dismissed as not the reason and no one else to ask in shop. Now take the average worker, no offense, they come to something beyond their experience. How many have the mindset to further themselves and literally take a crash course? Not many, but of course we are talking about someone that wants to run a *nix system, so I hope that they are ready to learn. Since I mention admins and I run the back room of an ISP, the other part of human nature is to look for a scapegoat. "It's not my end." "I didn't make any mistakes." Then of couse we have to consider how complex the install process is and just how much there is to configure, but once it is up the man pages are there. Some are better than others and some are cyptic. I suppose 'man man' is a good start. Frankly I got real tired of "Is this working?" Oh, mail, why don't you send a test message? Is the web server down? Can you bring up a page? (this happened both while and after I helped front line support) Of course I've had a few clients that were not even connected. The point is that many people will not put forth the effort to find what they need and ask. Some days I am not here, barring a possible emergency. The "Installing and Running FreeBSD" book that comes with the CD has a lot of information that even I, after dealing with BSDi, found very useful. >From what I have seen there are a lot of problems installing and I had quite a few a while back, but I wasn't even on this list (just doing my job I guess). To sum all this up, my thought is that some reading is in order before jumping in and installing. Some can go without it, but still *nix has a learning curve.... That never ends. >As an alternative, maybe a webpage can be created with the top ten (or >twenty) most common questions and answers. I know this info is covered in >the FAQ, but there is so much info in the FAQ, that some users feel it's >easier to send a help message than plow through the FAQ. That's why I'm >suggesting a limit of ten but no more than 20 items. The first two that >come to mind are the problem of the missing lib in emacs (from the 2.1.5R >CDROM) and the infamous atapi.flp. Possibly it is time to expand the FAQ part of the pages. The only other thing to mention is that lists should not be spammed, meaning one does not post to all possible lists. The charter page should be read and not just the list summary and yes, this is highlighted. On that thought maybe there should be an XFree list. Hmmm.... I just looked and there are a few others that I should be on, as I have had some non-general questions. Guess I can also say that there are a lot lists to chose from and that can be confusing too. Time to add a few. Just hope that I'm not degrading the S/N ratio. 8-) My thought is that sometimes opinions are good, as well as technical.

How do I start XDM from the /etc/ttys file? Starting xdm via /etc/ttys is a Bad Thing. I don't know why this crept into some README file. Start it from your rc.local, and be explicit about how it has to start. If this is your last action in rc.local, put a ``sleep 1'' behind, to allow xdm to properly daemonize before the rc shellexits. xdm should be started without any arguments (i.e., as a daemon). NOTE: A previos version of this FAQ told you to add the vt you want X to use to the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file. This is not necessary: X will use the first free vt it finds. ----- This is exactly what I have done..Nadav Eiron told me I needed the vt04 in my Xservers, and admittedly I haven't tried it, but in light of this note I'm not sure this will work.

But the big catch is for me and a remote printer is the "if" and "of" filters are ignored locally so one can't trivially flip the printer's mode with a local filter. Once one has gone to the trouble to force a filter in place the filter itself is trivial. Always amazes me how bugetary things work out. We have a Sun Enterprise 1 (and several other very expensive machines) on a net at work with a bunch of 4.3G HD's. The best printer that net has is an HP LaserJet III w/o Postscript... only one font. I put Ghostscript on the Sun in the HP's print filter/interface and pushed that thru rlpr over the network to the printer. Makes it into a good enough Postscript clone for our purposes, which is mostly a2ps. Was pleased to discover a modest page of output from a2ps turned into only 40k to 50k of HP with gs-4.03. And the HP seems to push paper thru as fast as the wheels can pull it. Shame that printer doesn't have (that I know of) a page counter as we run 2k to 5k pages/week thru it. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I think these lines from /etc/hosts are relevant too, since I guess that the hostname assignment in sysconfig reads something from hosts. As you can see, I'm set up for dynamic IP address assignment. When I installed 2.1.1 via ftp, I think it set my hostname in sysconfig as 207.0.141.1, which is one of the DNS's of my ISP.

Been a while since I needed help... but this one is really hitting hard. Over the last 24hours I notice my 2.1.5 box halting with some kind of error trap that brings up the high intensity white type and attempts a reboot (I say attempts cause my AMD 5x86 chip is not handling the reboot signal since the get-go). Well, evidently the problem esculated itself, see now at boot time, I get an error when fbsd first attempts to read the boot drive for the kernel. It says "invalid format!" and then tries again and again... In all honesty, I was planning to upgrade to 2.1.7 soon, if not wait the month or two and put 2.2 up, but right now I just want to salvage the data from my drives... I have some code that has not been backed-up (shame on me) and some things I REALLY don't want to loss. If anyone out there in FBSD land can help.... please, please drop me a note. direct email please, my mailing subscription mailbox is on the effected machine .

The plug-gw from fwtk would do the job, but the firewall is hiding an office-network and blocking direct inside to outside (internet) traffic. Therefor no machine on the inside-network is allowed to make direct connections to the internet. A news-server on the firewall-maachine would do the trick but this is no option. What i need is something like a news-proxying-only application, that runs on the firewall-machine and accepts connections from the inside- network and then fetches the groups or articles, requested by the user from some newsserver on the internet.

Now since there is 16GB of disc it would be really nice if it could overlap some of the fsck'ing of hte three discs. One disc is EIDE and the other two are SCSI on an Adaptec 2940UW. Obviously I don't want it to do multiple partitions on the same disc in parallel - what do I have to do? I was going to fiddle with the last couple of columns of fstab, but the man page doesn't seem to indicate that I should do that.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I previously installed FreeBSD over a network on 2 machines without any trouble whatsoever. As part of that installation process, tcp/ip was configured via the installation menu and configuration files (e.g /etc/resolv.conf) created autmatically. I have now installed FreeBSD via CD ROM on another machine and then configured tcp/ip manually - i kept getting "network unreachable" errors on bootup (using 3com NIC) but managed to cure it with the following : [/etc/resolv.conf] domain hell.com.my nameserver 202.184.153.3 [/etc/host.conf] bind hosts [/etc/hosts] 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.hell.com.my [/etc/sysconfig] hostname="devil.hell.com.my" defaultdomainname="NO" network_interfaces="lo0 ep0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ep0="inet 202.184.153.13 netmask 255.255.255.0" # ifconfig_ep0="inet 202.184.153.5 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias" # ifconfig_ep0="inet 202.184.153.30 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias" # ifconfig_ep0="inet 202.184.153.31 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias" static_routes="" router="NO" Now, this works OK but I was trying to get virtual domains to work and found that if i uncomment the ifonfig aliases in /etc/sysconfig above, nothing works at all... (yet I saw a reference to doing ifconfig aliasing in /etc/sysconfig in an earlier post) So, I have created a simple script to do the aliasing : ifconfig ep0 202.184.153.5 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias ifconfig ep0 202.184.153.30 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias ifconfig ep0 202.184.153.31 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias route add -host 202.184.153.13 127.0.0.1 /usr/local/sbin/httpd This works but is it the proper way to go about this ? How can i invoke my script automatically at start up ? (simply append to /etc/sysconfig ?) Should I incorporate that route command into the sysconfig file ? eg. static_routes="202.184.153.13 127.0.0.1" And since just to clean things up, freebsd calls httpd on bootup and fails (since the ip aliases are not set) ... where can i comment that out ? (i tried rc.local, rc*, inetd.conf) Thank you very much for any help. chas From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 29 09:35:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA04169 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 09:35:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.tm.net.my (janeway.tm.net.my [202.188.0.155]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA04156 for ; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 09:35:18 -0800 (PST) From: sweeting@tm.net.my Received: from [202.184.153.110] ([202.184.153.110]) by mail.tm.net.my (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id BAA18512 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 01:33:43 +0800 (SGT) Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 01:33:43 +0800 (SGT) X-Sender: sweeting@mail.tm.net.my Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: [Q] why not use routed ? Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just for completion and to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone have any pointers to resources on routed, in particular : In addition to FreeBSD machines, we also have several AIX and Digital Unix boxes and they all use routed. In the past I was warned against using routed with FreeBSD.... and sure enough, turning it off in /etc/sysconfig cured the problems that I was having at the time. (The problems were regarding virtual domains for email ) Why is it that people here tend to advise against using routed ? From what i understand, routed automatically sets up the routing tables so it seems better than specifying static routes. (although with each of my FreeBSD boxes connected directly to the central router, I suppose there is only one route to add for each machine and it is unlikely to change.) If anyone could point me to resources on this , I will be very grateful.

I suppose it would be 2.1.7 -> 2.1.7 this time, except that the bin distribution still could not be installed. The message at the end was the same as last week: Couldn't extract the following distributions: bin catpages and We couldn't even extract the bin distribution. This upgrade should be considered a failure and started from the beginning. This time I used the boot.flp that was on the installation CD, rather than using the one from ftp.freebsd.org, as I did last week. The boot.flp image was placed on the floppy with: dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0 The actual steps I went through are listed at the end, but more interesting are the DEBUG messages from VTY2. Below are the last few lines from VTY2, the buffer only goes back so far. I copied these by hand and believe they are accurate: DEBUG: Request for compat20/compat20.inf from CDROM DEBUG: Request for compat20/compat20.tgz from CDROM DEBUG: Notify: Extracting conpat20 into / directory... usr usr/lib usr/lib/compat (several other files listed) 81 blocks DEBUG: Request for compat21/compat21.inf from CDROM DEBUG: Request for compat21/compat21.tgz from CDROM DEBUG: Notify: Extracting compat21 into / directory... tmp/junk 1 block DEBUG: distExtract: parent: (none), me: bin DEBUG: Request for bin/bin.inf from CDROM DEBUG: Parsing attributes file for distribution bin DEBUG: Parse config: Invalid character 'P' at line 0 DEBUG: Finished parsing 0 attributes DEBUG: Trying to match attribute `pieces' DEBUG: Request for catpages/catpages.inf from CDROM DEBUG: Request for catpages/catpages.tgz from CDROM DEBUG: switching back to VTY1 Actually, the "parse config" line appeared on screen as: DEBUG: Parse config: Invalid character 'P' at line 0DEBUG: Finished parsing 0 attributes It may not mean anything, other than a newline wasn't used after the "0", causing the linewrap. As promised, here are the steps I used this time: 1) Boot system with boot.flp, installation CD already in drive. This is a Plextor scsi cd connected to a 1542cf. 2) "Kernel Configuration Menu" chose "skip kernel configuration..." 3) Devices probed, aha0 recognized, Plextor recognized 4) "Welcome To FreeBSD" menu. I chose option #9 Upgrade 5) Upgrade procedure listed, "User Confirmation Requested" 6) Message: "You haven't specified any distributions yet. The Upgrade procedure will only upgrade those portions......." 7) Distribution Menu. I chose Custom, choosing everything in Custom except for XF86. (bin was definitely chosen here) 8) Message: "ok, first we're going to go to the disk label editor....." 9) file systems MOUNTED. Pressed "Q" 10) "Information Dialog" box, integrity checked, fscking,... 11) Message: "Media type not set! Please select a media type..." 12) CDROM chosen, /etc is saved in /usr/tmp/etc 13) I switch to VTY2 to watch the fun. Thats about it. This is a noname Intel based 486 DX2/66 with ide drives, and scsi cd & tape. One other note, this time /etc maintained the correct permissions of 755, where last week it was 700 after the upgrade. Anyway, my main question is, why no bin distribution?

Thanks for this info! Please understand, I have read everything I could till I am about totally confused ;) If I delete logical partition E, then OS/2 (logical drive F) will then assume the letter E, then won't run obviously. I also read (and hope I understood it correctly) that FBSD will try to take the first area on my HD. Would that then move Dos/Windoze? What I am trying to do is put FBSD in the same area that the E partition was so that OS/2 will still boot. Apparently this can't be done?? Maybe I read so much I got totally confused. If so, my apologies to all for this posting. IF above is true about not installing FreeBSD, does anybody know if Linux (sorry) would work?

Assume following situation: A program is installed with group-bit 's' and contain two setgid(2)-calls, the first set the program to its real group, the second to its old effective group (this the program is installed and set to). For example: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 387562 Mar 29 17:29 /usr/local/bin/elm is invoked by user Fred in group 'wheel'. Just after start 'elm' has effective group 'mail'. After the first setgid it becomes effective group 'wheel', the second setgid shall set effective group back to 'mail'. In FreeBSD-2.1, this worked but now in FreeBSD-2.2.1 it fails, because the second setgid(2) failed. If setgid(2) is replaced by setegid(2), it works. I assume, setgid(2) in FreeBSD-2.1 has not overwritten the saved-gid but in FreeBSD-2.2 it overwrite it? What is the right behaviour?

There might be valuable DEBUG data listed that is long lost in the buffers. I looked around the system before rebooting, but found nothing. I can say that a few files in /bin & /sbin did get updated: /bin rcp, red, ed /sbin nfsd, mount_nfs, init They have dates of Feb 19th, close enough to the CD dates of Feb 18th to indicate to me that between last week and this week those few files were updated.

This is a feature, not a bug. It isn't specific to bash; other Bourne shell derivatives will do the same thing.

Unfortunately, it didn't come with an Owner's Manual; and I'm having some trouble identifying the appropriate density codes to use with it. The default appears to be 0x8c. According to the lights, that is a compressed format; and I would assume it is the highest supported base density (5G). But what are the codes for uncompressed 5G, and both compressed and uncompressed 2.5G modes? On a related note, what is the 'right' way to bind the supported densities to the four tape modes at boot time? (I would guess it's just an 'mt' command for each ctl device, somewhere in the rc files. But I'm hoping that I'm overlooking some more elegant hook provided for exactly this purpose...)

The 3com589d etherlink III card that I have on my laptop can not be found by the kernel even though I have compiled the kernel with the right irq (11) and address (0x300). As I understand, 3c589d etherlink III is supported by FreeBSD, right? On my laptop, there are 2 type3 slots and one type2 slot. The card could only be probed(seen) when I insert the card in type3 slot by FreeBSD, although windoezNT could see it in the type2 and type3 slots. During booting in FreeBSD, when probing for IBM/Semiconductor pcmcia cards, I did see s string saying "3com589 etherlink III ....." right after "ze:", but there is nothing after "zp:" and neither ze0 nor zp0 could be found. If I remove ze from my kernel configuration, I would not see that string anymore. But I thought zp0 is the symbol for 3com why 3com card is seen when probing IBM's device? I noticed that pcic0 is using irq5 so I changed the soundblaster card's irq to numbers other than 5 but it did not help either. The sound card is built-in on motherboard. I could not see any other possible built-in device irq conflict.... I did have the options "LINT_PCCARD_HACK" compiled into the kernel, and pcic0 support compiled. So what is wrong? Any help would be greately appreciated.

The biggest problem with routed is that it acts very stupid. Your best bet is to have a smart default router and point your hosts to it. If you have multi-homes host use gated. It is easily configurable to whatever you need (or dont need). You can have your multi-homed host running gated ONLY send routing information to your smart default router. One of the biggest problems is if I have multiple routers on a network the other hosts running "routed -q" will arbitrarily" lose the default routes. This is very annoying. -David Langford langfod@dihelix.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 29 19:38:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA02904 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 19:38:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from sdcc10.ucsd.edu (root@sdcc10.ucsd.edu [132.239.50.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA02893 for ; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 19:38:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from yihsiao.extern.ucsd.edu (yihsiao.extern.ucsd.edu [137.110.207.1]) by sdcc10.ucsd.edu (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id TAA09342 for ; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 19:38:34 -0800 (PST) Received: by yihsiao.extern.ucsd.edu with Microsoft Mail id <01BC3C7A.B910E4A0@yihsiao.extern.ucsd.edu>; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 19:52:24 -0600 Message-ID: <01BC3C7A.B910E4A0@yihsiao.extern.ucsd.edu> From: Yimin Hsiao To: "'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG'" Subject: Question Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 19:52:19 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by freefall.freebsd.org id TAA02894 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 2.2, and I have some problems I built my own kernel successfully, but one time I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del while in # prompt. There was no response, so I rebooted the computer. When I entered FreeBSD the second time, the boot message was pretty long, containing messages like "automatic reboot", etc. Then it just froze up. I had to hit Ctrl-C to get to the login: prompt. Please help me out. I don't want to have to hit Ctrl-C every time I boot. Also can you tell me how I can access other harddrives in FreeBSD. I have one FAT harddrive that contains package and XFree86 that I want to install to FreeBSD, and I tried using the /stand/sysinstall, but it wouldn't install them for me. It said it couldn't find the file INDEX under package, but I double checked and it was there on that harddrive. I'm sure I specified the right harddrive, it was my primary slave and chose the primary drive (wd0) in the "media" submenu. It couldn't install XFree either. Is there any way that I can just access the harddrive myself and install manually? Thank you for reading my questions and I hope to see your answers soon.

I am a novice on news system and I build a INN news server recently but I couldn't let the users on my site read news articles all over the world. I have found out some public news servers, some even permit me to post on it. I want to know how I can let my news server read articles from it. I'm not an ISP but can I let the users on my site read all the news groups in the world without any help from an ISP? Thanks in advance!!!

It allows you to specify which physical interfaces will respond to DNS queries (like on a firewall). It complements the xfernets directive (which restricts zone transfers). http://www.ers.ibm.com/~davy/software/bind.html -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
