The only diference between a primary and secondary name server is where they get their data. Primaries read it from files they trust, secondaries read it from primaries. The order of listing in the InterNIC records means nothing. If you are a registered namesrever you are authoritative for that domain. Clients do not know about primary or secondary. Conversely, if you aren't listed in the Nic's database, you don't exist. No one else will see you. If you set up your own rouge name server within the company it will not "leak" cause no one will ever look at it. This is all in the book, I don't think you read it very well.

You need to have an .xinitrc file in your home dir that has the settings that you want, whether that be exec fvwm, exec twm, exec openstep, exec .... Also along with the .xinitrc file in your ~/ directory you need a .fvwmrc , .twmrc or what ever win mngr you use. Ofcourse if you don't place .xinitrc, and .*wmrc files in your home, the computer will use what is standard on that system which is normally located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 there you will see many system.xinitrc, and system.fvwmrc in their respective directories. Modify those and save them to your home dir. Don't alter the system ones since you will need them later if you ever want the standard setup, ect. Other config files can all be either located in specified locations of in home dirs. That is how every user can have his oun window setup.

Just over a month ago, I upgraded my modem from an external 28.8 to an internal 33.6, hoping to get slightly better performance out of my 'Net connection. The problem is that now I'm getting semi-regular lockups while connected... The situation is that I use remote cvs to connect to my server in Toronto, Ontario (I'm on the East Coast of Canada) to update and commit changes to the PostgreSQL cvs repository. At first, if I tried to do a cvs update, the modem would lock up shortly afterwards, and I'd have to disconnect (kill -9 the ppp daemon) and then reconnect... Finally, recalling all the talk about tcp_extensions, I disabled those and tried again. Now, I can do a few 'cvs ' before the modem will once more lock up, so it seems like disabling the tcp_extensions at least *helps*, but with the 28.8 modem, I didn't require this...it just worked. I've tried just about everything I can think of, and was wondering if anyone else has any ideas on what may be wrong? My first thought was buffer overruns, as a result of trying to pump alot of data over relatively quickly...but then I'd think I'd be affected by stuff like cvsup, fetchmail and ftp's...but I'm not... So, now that I've put that all down and thought about it...anyone have an idea of why it only seems to affect cvs? I get no messages in /var/log/messages to indicate its a buffer overflow problem or anything like that... I'm running 3.0-current from March 30th... Thanks... Marc G.

BTW use raw devices as argument for disklabel(8). I know, disklabel(8) tries to be smart and will automagically include the "r", but this "feature" breaks my golden rule: Use a raw device argument for fstab(8), disklabel(8), newfs(8).

Hehe! And I thought that just our Win95 users ran into such problems. My thought is that if it doesn't use the nameserver from either /etc/host.conf or /etc/hosts it should look for named.ca or in the case of the default for FBSD, named.root and just use the root servers. Too bad you can't get the source code. ;-) Hehe! And I thought that just our Windoze users ran into such problems.

SMTP logs under mail.info and is usually /var/log/maillog and is all you really need. We run a proxy and we don't see telnet connects to the port in the log. I can't see any reason why to log this. If nothing is sent this should not be a problem. I'd imagine you could hack sendmail, so when the socket is created it would log to mail.notice, but then how will you tell if it was a normal SMTP transaction or a telnet? Question for hackers I guess. As for the out of date aliases.db, you are supposed to do a 'newaliases' when you change the alias file. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 6 06:05:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA20135 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 6 Apr 1997 06:05:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from netcom7.netcom.com (stanb@netcom7.netcom.com [192.100.81.115]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id GAA20130 for ; Sun, 6 Apr 1997 06:05:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from stanb@localhost) by netcom7.netcom.com (8.6.13/Netcom) id JAA06215; Sun, 6 Apr 1997 09:05:01 -0400 From: stanb@netcom.com (Stan Brown) Message-Id: <199704061305.JAA06215@netcom7.netcom.com> Subject: SCSI tape drive device names To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.com (Free BSD Questions list) Date: Sun, 6 Apr 1997 09:05:01 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] 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 i posted yesterday asking about device names for SCSII tapes.

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

This 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.

Its a pain for me (and everyone else) to either type IP numbers or beg a sysop (I'm not root on *everything* I use) to manually insert special cases in /etc/hosts (or similar) on each and every machine that needs to talk to me or vice versa. This is exactly what a nameserver is all about. But the geniuses who run our network think its too much of their trouble. > The only diference between a primary and secondary name server > is where they get their data.

This is where I differ from anything I've seen in the book. Don't think the book's authors could imagine anyone so shortsighted as not to list every system they know of under their domain in their nameserver. > If you set up your own rouge name server within the company it > will not "leak" cause no one will ever look at it. What's /etc/resolv.conf for? The ideal solution I'm looking for would be the ability for my rouge nameserver's IP to be listed once in /etc/resolv.conf (or similar places on Macintosh and Microsoft platforms) rather than multiple edits of everyone's /etc/hosts. Once its functional I have ways other than word of mouth to advertise its existence. > This is all in the book, I don't think you read it very well. I've read it cover to cover.

FreeBSD doesn't use it anyway. The best idea is to set it to something and leave it. The other thing you might try is putting a small DOS partition on the disk, then removing it in FreeBSD setup and using the whole disk for FreeBSD. I usually see this in problems with booteasy, but if the only disk is dedicated, then you could see this problem.

Now, I have a small problem: - When I use my MacNFS nfs client it says that no lock daemon is running on the FreeBSD host. - When I try to start ftpmail 1.23 it said that it can't lock a file (pid or log file) I think i have to start either a lock daemon or to recompile the kernel with some kind of 'lock_enabe' option, but I couldn't find neither the option nor the deamon. Please help me to learn how to start this 'LOCKING'. Thanks!

The server need to have no frills at all and should mainly be able to accept connections from many client machines to a single user application service. I would like to know what the minimum configuration (size of installation, which distribution) of such a machine can be with only bare bone services such as PING, TELNET, FTP, (??) which will be useful for debugging and configuration management purposes, including of course the normal file system commands. This configuration will have to reside on many similar sites and I would therefore like this process to be repeatable from a master installation disk(s) on whatever medium.

All TCP/IP stacks that I know of (OS/2, Windows NT, AIX, VM/ESA) offer the Berkeley style interface (gethostbyname(2) ..) for resolving host names. This interface can be configured to use local tables and/or BIND. Further the search order can be configured. For reasons I really would like to know, some programs don't use it. The WWW browser LYNX uses it for ftp: and not for http: URLs. Strange! Especially for newbies configuring their network for the first time. bewildered Wolfgang From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 6 21:43:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA21304 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 6 Apr 1997 21:43:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gw.research.megasoft.com (gw.research.megasoft.com [206.230.35.93]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA21299 for ; Sun, 6 Apr 1997 21:43:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by gw.research.megasoft.com (8.7.5/8.7.3-cmcurtin) id AAA08994; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 00:41:48 -0400 (EDT) Received: from goffette.research.megasoft.com(192.168.1.2) by gw.research.megasoft.com via smap (V2.0) id xma008992; Mon, 7 Apr 97 00:41:24 -0400 Received: (from cmcurtin@localhost) by goffette.research.megasoft.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA22098; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 00:41:57 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 00:41:57 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199704070441.AAA22098@goffette.research.megasoft.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: C Matthew Curtin To: Steven Ames Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: www.edns.com In-Reply-To: <199704030310.WAA22497@news.cioe.com> References: <199704030310.WAA22497@news.cioe.com> X-Mailer: VM 6.22 under 19.15 XEmacs Lucid X-Face: "&>g(&eGr?u^F:nFihL%BsyS1[tCqG7}I2rGk4{aKJ5I_5A\*6RYn4"N.`1pPF9LO!Fa<(gj:12)?=uP2l01e10Gij"7j&-)torL^iBrNf\s7PDLm=rf[PjxtSbZ{J(@@j"q2/iV9^Mx>>>> "Steve" == Steven Ames writes: Steve> I only ask this question here because I wondered if FreeBSD Steve> intends to add their root servers to the standard cache file Steve> distributed with FreeBSD.

There's AlterNIC, and some others that I can't remember right now. To complicate matters, the TLDs that these guys are dishing out aren't necessarily unique once you mesh all of the namespaces. This is bad, bad, bad, bad news. A lot of these people are running around crying "monopoly" and squealing about their "right" to try a business venture, blah blah blah. I listened to Paul Garrin whine about this on HotWired's HotSeat a while back (in January?) I imagine how he could have presented a LESS convincing argument on why anyone should pay him (or any of these other silly outfits) any attention. I'm actually not terribly pleased that IAHC is going to add new TLDs. The system is fine as it is, but the problem is that it isn't being used as it was designed, and now, instead of doing something that makes sense, people are out there registering dozens of domain names, creating a horrible waste of the namespace, etc. Adding more TLDs isn't going to fix this: it just make the namespace wider... It's only a matter of time before we're facing the same problem again... Then what, add more TLDs? No, I think that the namespace should be given out a little less freely, at least in the "big" three-letter TLDs... Not only is having lots of TLDs gross and difficult to make sense of, but it does create more load on the root nameservers. (Not in the number of requests, of course, this will increase as long as the number of DNS lookups increases, but it will increase the size of the tables of domains and their associated root nameservers that need to be maintained.) I'd be perfectly happy to see the TLDs all go away, except for the two-letter country code domains, and ".int"... -- Matt Curtin Chief Scientist Megasoft, Inc. cmcurtin@research.megasoft.com http://www.research.megasoft.com/people/cmcurtin/ I speak only for myself Death to small keys.

This approach has a number of problems. * Spammers often don't come from the same place. Some bozo goes and gets a $20 account at an ISP, gets their machine on the 'net, and out goes the spam. The account gets killed, and they don't care. They go out to another ISP and do the same thing. * You'll need to have all of your MXers (if you've got any) implement the same filtering rules to their mailhosts. There are some better ways to filter the stuff out. My (current) favorite is to use procmail either as a local delivery agent for the MTA, or to have users pipe their mail to procmail, and let their own procmailrc files deal with it. In addition to the ability to filter things into different folders, certain telltale signs of spam can be scanned for. If the pattern is matched, redirect the stuff to /dev/null. * A number of spam packages are now identifying themselves in the X-Mailer header. If you know the name of any of these stupid things, you can look for the pattern ^X-Mailer:.*spam-warez-name. Other possibilities including scanning the top and/or bottom n lines for something that looks like one of those "just reply with the word remove in the subject, blah blah blah" notices, looking for things with symmetrical symbols in the subject, especially three or more $, >, or * characters... For the last few months, I've been saving all of the spam that I get into a folder. I plan on doing some analysis of the stuff to see what other patterns I can find, and things like that to help write some more intelligent rules for throwing the junk away. Has anyone else been saving these things?

I asked this earlier in this list, but no one answered so I assume, that no one got this message. Can anyone tell me why the mtools are getting slowly when I write to SCSI disks instead of IDE disks ? At home I have a SCSI disk partitioned in FreeBSD/DOS partitions and when I'm using mcopy to write onto the DOS partition I get a rate of nearly 2KB/s. Even a mdir command acts very slow, sometimes the whole system freezes for maybe 15-25 seconds. At work I have a Toshiba laptop with an IDE disk (also 1 DOS and 1 FreeBSD partition on it). When I'm writing to the DOS partition with mcopy it's really fast (I think nearly 1 MB/s). An mdir is also very fast. So what can I do ? Is it a SCSI-problem ? I have an Adaptec 2940AU and all of my disks act the same...:-( Maybe there's a fix for the SCSI subsystem ? By the way: I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.6R, maybe I should update ? Anyway, I got these problems since the first use of the mtools in 2.1 for using them to write to DOS partitions. By the way, I'm only using the msdosfs when reading DOS files. I trashed my disk too often after writing to it, so I have to use the mtools because they're working perfectly. They are just damn slow...:-( Thanx for any help !

We have 5 slices to back up and somewhere in dumping the third slice (the first big one) it freezes - quite reliably :) Sometimes we have to reboot it (reset switch), sometimes it reboots itself immediately. It has also crashed once on a lot of disk copying, and some other times. System specification: Pentium 120 Triton P5I437P4/FMB chipset Adaptec 2940W SCSI controller SONY SDT-5000 SCSI DAT tape 2* SEAGATE ST15230W SCSI hard disks Cirrus Logic 5430 PCI graphics card . Going to 2.2.1 from GAMMA fixed a SCSI bus resetting -> crash problem but this freezing thing persists. I have tried GENERIC & custom kernels - both crash similarly. (note: I have been running the system for about 1 1/2 yrs with just a 2.1 system until 2.2-GAMMA. That never crashed. The system only began crashing/freezing after my "upgrade"). The current system was created by running a "make world" on the cvsup'd 2.2.1 source, along with a custom kernel recompilation. I don't have anything to show for it in the logs - (/var/log/messages). Stuff like: /kernel: sd1(ahc0:3:0): timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0 no longer occurs since I upgraded to 2.2.1 . I haven't tried kernel debugging or SCSIDEBUG stuff yet partly because I know almost nothing about it, partly because people want this machine up most of the time. I think it's another adaptec 2940 driver problem, and am thinking of trying the newest 2.2-RELENG source, but I don't know whether that's really the problem, or if it is, whether it's recently been fixed. any advice appreciated, thanks, Ian Wood. - wood@elec.uq.edu.au From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 00:56:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA29071 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 00:56:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from italy.it.earthlink.net (italy-c.it.earthlink.net [204.250.46.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id AAA29065 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 00:56:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ducminh.earthlink.net (Cust98.Max18.San-Francisco.CA.MS.UU.NET [153.35.242.98]) by italy.it.earthlink.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id AAA19626 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 00:56:03 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3348A8A1.EDD@earthlink.net> Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 00:56:17 -0700 From: Viper Reply-To: ducminh@earthlink.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: X-windows Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk To: All Tech Support From: Duc Nguyen I recently brought FreeBSD CD version 2.11.

I don't know the reason why, but only the DOS could recognize the partition table, neither NT, nor FreeBSD nor OpenStep. So I examined the partition table with Norton Diskedit, copied it onto a paper and typed it in manually with FreeBSD's fdisk. After that I should do the same thing with second disk of mine(it's really strange) and then NT and FreeBSD worked again.

You have definitely problems with your hardware (defective or slow RAMs, motherboard problems). Try setting the BIOS options to the most defensive values (slow RAMs, maximum waits, try disabling the 2nd level cache, PCI bus speed, shadowing etc.) Typically, a BIOS labels them as 'worst', 'slowest', 'disable' or alike). There are countless BIOS versions existing, basically every board revision may have a different one, so noone can give any precise advice, since you didn't even tell about the board or BIOS version. > xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed > xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed > Fatal server error: > xf86OpenConsole: VT_SETMODE VT_PROCESS failed > xf86CloseConsole: KDDISABIO failed (Inappropriate ioctl for device) -- Dr.-Ing.

Never had any perl problems, but I'm not sure that I looked well enough. perl isn't completly backward compatible, but if you follow the "recommended" (i.e. camel book) style of writing, it pretty much makes it so. I do remember some thread about such problems in -questions about half a year ago, but I think it wasn't with any standard perl scripts that come with FreeBSD. Anyhow, this is just my $0.02. Nadav PS, If you do find that something breaks in perl5, it may be a good reason to fix it so that it works both way. Usually, it's not too hard.

I use TIS fwtk's smap/smapd and noticed it logs connections to the SMTP port that does not actually send a message (something like: "QUIT without DATA"). It is much more secure than sendmail, so you may want to give it a try anyhow. If you want to log *every* connection to the SMTP port, you can use ipfw to do that.

If so, this has been asked and answered many times. To boot, use: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt. Then one of the following two should work: 1. Have the following line in the kernel config file: config kernel root on wd2 *or* 2. Coment out the wd1 line in the kernel config file, and change the wd2 on its line to wd1 (don't touch anything else). Then replace all references to wd2 in /etc/fstab to refer to wd1. In both cases, after you build and install the new kernel, you should be able to boot with the default options.

How do I implement security with this approach? You say CHAP / PAP? Well, I have never used either -- the password protection of the shell has been sufficient to date. I also need to login with various clients which may not have such advanced protocols. Is there a way to have pppd prompt for a login/password? Any advice on this issue would be appreciated...

This would make the login sequence the same, only you won't have the option of doing anything other than running pppd with that user.

I have an EIDE and a SCSI drive. I installed FBSD on my SCSI drive with root on sd0. After experimenting with the boot prompt, the only way I could get FBSD to mount root was to type: 1:sd(0,a)/kernel at the boot prompt (if I remember correctly). I guess this tells fbsd that the scsi drive is bios ID 1? If your root partition is on sd1, then you'd type 1:sd(1,a)/kernel -- Gabriel From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 06:18:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA13240 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 06:18:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gateway.ormond.unimelb.edu.au (gateway.ormond.unimelb.edu.au [203.17.189.194]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA13232 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 06:18:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from gavin@localhost) by gateway.ormond.unimelb.edu.au (8.8.3/8.6.9) id XAA11032 for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 23:18:14 +1000 (EST) From: Gavin Cameron Message-Id: <199704071318.XAA11032@gateway.ormond.unimelb.edu.au> Subject: netatalk and printing To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 23:18:14 +1000 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I sent this message last night but I didn't see it come through so here it is again.

If you have people change resolv.conf and/or the nameserver settings on their PCs then, yes, they will use you as a nameserver. You will have to set this server up as primary in order for it to read changes you make to your local zone files. This means that you will have to track the contents of the official zone files manually since those two nameservers won't ever talk to each other. Here's a better way. If the only reason that hosts are missing from the official zone files is that your admin is lazy^H^H^H^H thinks it isn't important, you may be able to get her to delegate a subdomain to you. That way everyone could see you and you would be kept up to date on official changes automatically. The only downside to this would be that instead of addressing a machine like ping joespc people would have to use ping joespc.mysubdomain > I've read it cover to cover. Its put me to sleep many nights. I admit to > not completely understanding what I read. Thats why I asked. Sorry to have > bothered you. Sorry for my tone. Late night. Zones are normally delegated based on departments, geography, network layout etc.. But there is no technical reason why you can't delegate a zone just for convenience. Look at chapter 9 (Parenting) in DNS and BIND and build a case for delegation to present to the admin.

In accessing a round robin site, Netscape never tries to retrieve the DNS again of that site. It stays happy with the DNS (IP address) that it got once before. The round robin site works fine for other applications e.g. telnet, ftp and lynx. For some reason, not for Netscape - even though the caches have setup to have 0 memory. In general, if there are 3 sites in a round robin setup e.g. www1, www2 and www3 and they are named WWW. If I do http://WWW, I would expect Netscape to get www1 first. The following http://WWW, I would expect Netscape to issue another DNS enquiry and to get back www2 as the "WWW". Instead, Netscape always stays with www1 as the "WWW". Maybe, I did miss something somewhere. BTW, you don't need named. Just setup the /etc/resolv.conf.

I tried to use the second method. But i am a little confuse. You mention to change the wd2 on its line to wd1, you meant to change wd2 in wd2's line to wd1 in the kernel configuration file? You also said replace all references to wd2 in etc/fstab to refer to wd1, are you saying that replace wd1 with wd2 or vise versa? I am sorry, it just seem a little complicate to me.

You will have to install the Boot Manager to your first disk manually, but that will give you the option to select which system to start up. If you're running OnTrack or similar translation software, don't do this. 0. To ensure a successful installation, make a small DOS partition on the disk, then remove it in sysinstall and use 'A' to use the entire disk for FreeBSD. Complete the install. 1. Fetch boot.bin and bootinst.exe from tools/ on the ftp site. 2. Restart into DOS. 3. Run bootinst from your first disk.

The partition drive currently has no O/S. Your floppy must be damaged or the image was bad. USe a brand-new, formatted floppy and make sure you fetch the disk image in binary mode. If you used Netscape to d/l it before, try another method such as FTP.

But I can't get it installed :-( I've tried installing both 2.1.6 and 2.2.1. Here are the problems I've encountered: 1) Before reading the fine print I purchased a 3COM 3C589D which is not (yet) supported. My understanding is that it canbe made to work if one configures the kernel properly (correct?). So I decided I'll fix this after the installation. 2) Okay, I'll install it over the parallel port with ppp. Alas, when pppd went to open the parallel port (on the desktop unit) it found it busy. This happened on two different machines (each running 2.1.6). I could not find a problem, I can print through the ports fine. 3) Okay, there is still the serial port. I've tried speeds from 38400 to 4800 on a direct link to a FreeBSD machine (2.1.6) (ppp is the protocol) and the link dies after some small portion of the bin distribution is installed. I'm getting desparate. Suggestions? a) Get a supported ethernet card, I'd rather not if I can avoid it. b) Can I get the 3C589D to work? c) Why can't I get lp0 to work? d) Can I make ppp over the serial line more robust or have it reconnect automatically? thanks for any suggestions. dayton -- Dayton Clark CIS Department dayton@brooklyn.cuny.edu Brooklyn College/CUNY 1-718-951-4811 Brooklyn, New York 11210 1-718-951-4842 (fax) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 13:21:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA08553 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 13:21:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from federation.addy.com (federation.addy.com [207.239.68.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA08548 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 13:21:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (fbsdlist@localhost) by federation.addy.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA13605 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 16:20:59 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 16:20:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Cliff Addy To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: ipop3d, pine, and large mail files 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'm having a problem with ipop3d and pine dealing with large mail files.

I've done it both ways, both work, although I have seen some newbies have screaming fits with partitioning and boot managers. If you can, just scrap one (or 2) of your 486 PCs (or swap a new hard disk in temporarily (hah!)), and load BSD as the sole OS. I haven't yet had time to get SAMBA to work for netware/Wintel integration, but that's the fault of all the Micros**t stuff I'm fighting all the time. DO set yourself up with TCP/IP and a 'Net connection, that's part of the power of UNIX is its connectivity. Also, get yourself a copy of UNIX SA Handbook (ISBN 0-13-151051-7) by Nemeth et al (Prentice Hall), it has enough advice about everything to get you going, along with subscribing to these lists. If you've got that much systems experience you should be a real power user in 6 months. It's also fun, because the FBSD people here are more than willing to share the inside tradeoffs they've fought over in the OS design, it's very educational. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 14:45:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA15565 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 14:45:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rohan.sdsu.edu (root@rohan.sdsu.edu [130.191.143.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA15557 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 14:45:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dan.sdsu.edu ([130.191.159.182]) by rohan.sdsu.edu (8.8.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA22142 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 14:45:30 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <33496B4A.18E9@rohan.sdsu.edu> Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 14:46:50 -0700 From: Dan Carlson Reply-To: carlsond@rohan.sdsu.edu X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: make errors Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------732D2DF8574A" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------732D2DF8574A Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am running FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE #0 and I installed it from the FTP server.

Thank you for suggesting that I make world. This finally worked. Thanks to Joerg Wunsch, Justin Gibbs, and Gary Palmer. See only one minor bug near the end of my script below. The following would have been a good answer to a poor user like me who wished to execute an update (called upgrade by the /stand/sysinstall menu). Recall that my system will not boot properly from a floppy, which is some sort of incompatiblity with Dell or ATAPI CD, so I don't have the option to try sysinstall for an update. Even if I had tried sysinstall, it probably would have trashed my /etc directory, which the procedure below left intact. (I had backed /etc up, but I didn't need anything from the backup.) # A LONG BUT RELIABLE WAY TO UPDATE TO A NEW LEVEL OF FreeBSD # The following might even execute as a shell script, but it is much # wiser to print this out and execute it by hand, since this # script may contain errors, or may encounter errors, yet go on to trash # your system. # become root su mkdir /wuarchive mount wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive /wuarchive cd /wuarchive/systems/unix/FreeBSD/2.2.1-RELEASE mv /usr/src /usr/src.old mkdir /usr/src.2.2.1 ln -s /usr/src.2.2.1 /usr/src ls -laF /usr cd src sh install.sh all # This takes about an hour cd /usr/src umount /wuarchive make world # This takes about 5 hours echo Time to make a new kernel, boss. # cat ~wayne/KERNELS/kernel.hlp cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf vi KERNELfile # start with GENERIC, rename it, and delete lines you don't need. # You might want to add some lines.

Chances are pretty good your drive is a DDS-2 drive; it will only recognize DDS-2 tapes. Be careful when buying new tapes.

Since perl4 is what you get on install, even on 2.2.1, and most *want* perl5, I add it. At least the package add does not replace it, as there is at least one person that needs perl4 for something, so I 'cp perl perl4' and someone that needs perl4 can change the header. And there is only one person with this problem, out of several hundred. Not sure myself what changed, but I think it was a syntax change. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 17:42:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA04821 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:42:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fledge.watson.org (root@FLEDGE.RES.CMU.EDU [128.2.89.13]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA04811 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:42:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fledge.watson.org (robert@LOCALHOST [127.0.0.1]) by fledge.watson.org (8.8.5/8.6.10) with SMTP id UAA24054 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 20:42:06 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <3349945E.2781E494@fledge.watson.org> Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 20:42:06 -0400 From: Robert Watson X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Quotas + Sendmail Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does anyone know if the version of Sendmail distributed with FreeBSD 2.2-R will bounce incoming email to a user that has exceeded their file system quota? 2.1.5 delivered it anyway, by virtue of running as root, but that is not really appropriate :) -- Robert Watson robert@fledge.watson.org, rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 17:48:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA05672 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:48:57 -0700 (PDT) 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 RAA05667 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:48:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mixcom.mixcom.com (8.6.12/2.2) id TAA04729; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 19:49:15 -0500 Received: from p75.mixcom.com(198.137.186.25) by mixcom.mixcom.com via smap (V1.3) id sma004697; Tue Apr 8 00:49:08 1997 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970407194232.00c450c8@mixcom.com> X-Sender: sysop@mixcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 19:42:33 -0500 To: cmcurtin@research.megasoft.com From: "Jeffrey J.

I can not agree more with the first point. All these fly-by-night places that mass mail and let the domain die. It should be required that the domain is paid, before it is activated. More TLD's mean that I have to update tables for our mail proxy. >I'd be perfectly happy to see the TLDs all go away, except for the >two-letter country code domains, and ".int"... I don't see it happening, I just hope that it doesn't get out of control, otherwise it may start to look like a listing of newsgroups. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 17:54:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA05885 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:54:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nexgen.hiwaay.net (max22-150.HiWAAY.net [208.147.147.150]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA05880 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:54:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nexgen (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nexgen.hiwaay.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id TAA26383; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 19:53:52 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199704080053.TAA26383@nexgen.hiwaay.net> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.9 8/22/96 To: Dan Busarow cc: questions@freebsd.org From: dkelly@hiwaay.net Subject: Re: unofficial secondary nameserver?

Although I am not a guru on the subject, I have been on irc for quite a while. I have never heard of a plus f option to channels, unless they are local server channels, which I don't know much about.

What can I do to fix this? When a person ids kicked of a channel, he is not kicked permanently. This is also normal. Only a ban will keep a user out of the cannel, or perhaps a /kill but you don't want users have that ability.

It has been my experience, for several years now, that AFS is generally not reliable - at least on HP/UX 9.05. We are now to the point that we have daily problems with afs cache problems... We've decided to migrate over to NFS... even though it may be slower, we can get the job done; whereas AFS just isn't cutting it. - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 7 19:00:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA08803 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 19:00:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from psln1.psln.com (psln.com [206.99.118.101]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id TAA08798 for ; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 19:00:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dkeller by psln1.psln.com via ESMTP (951211.SGI.8.6.12.PATCH1042/951211.SGI.AUTO) for id SAA21210; Mon, 7 Apr 1997 18:58:21 -0700 Message-Id: <199704080158.SAA21210@psln1.psln.com> Reply-To: From: "Daniel Keller" To: "FreeBSD Questions Mailing List" Subject: ftp installation and Book Recommendation Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 19:29:39 -0700 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1160 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, First my question: I would like to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 using the ftp installation option. But when I tell it to start it never connects to the modem. I get sent to ppp, I go into term and the modem never responds to the AT commands, I have ppp setup and usually it connects fine. Second, a book recommendation: Sorry this is really the wrong mailing list for this, but I think it would be most useful to the people on this list. I recently purchased the book "Unix Internals - A Practical Approach" by Steve D. Pate, and I would highly recommend it to anybody else who would like to know about the inner workings of Unix, the book is about SCO Unix, but most thing should be the same for FreeBSD. The only differences I have noticed are the name of some devices are different. Info about the book: Title: Unix Internals - A Practical Approach Author: Steve D. Pate ISBN: 0-201-87721-X Publisher: Addison-Wesley Prices: $40-$60? I would like to hear some more advanced Unix users opinions on this book.

I don't know about that book specifically, but if you want to know more about the inner workings of BSD UNIX (FreeBSD not specifically, but...) try 'The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System' by McKusick/Bostic/Karels/Quarterman. ISBN 0-201-54979-4, pub. Addison-Wesley. 2 of the authors are from BSD, inc. it's a very good book about the internal architecture; I don't know about cost, but it's worth it.

Cyrix 166, w/ 24 MB of RAM installed. 95 setects and uses it just fine, but FreeBSD would only see 16MB. I didn't have the Hard drive space to get the source dist and recompile my kernel. I posted a question and got various suggestions, such as going into kernel config and setting memsize or iosize on npx0 to 24576 (memsize in KB). I tried all these suggestions to no avail. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good. FreeBSD is our friend. UNIX is our god.| *Micro$oft is bad.

The logic is to name your second disk wd1 instead of wd2. The procedure is: 1. *Remove* all references to wd1 in the kernel config file. 2. s/wd2/wd1/, that is, wherever it *used* to say wd2, have wd1 instead. This goes for both the kernel config file and /etc/fstab.

You are then prompted to setup your hard disk, select distributions etc... and finally connect to the ftp site and it will download everything. Making a floppy installation set is a fairly painful chore I found but it does work. If you wanted just the bin and manpages distributions you would copy bin.inf, bin.aa, bin.ab, bin.ac, bin.ad, bin.ae onto first diskette into the bin dir, bin.af etc... on the second and so on. On the last diskette of the bin distribution put the manpages.inf file in the manpages dir and then put the distribution files in the same dir. The only problem is that after going through this chore if a new release comes along you have to do it all again. I only did this because I was having problems with the ppp connection. Once I worked out what i'd done wrong I stuck to downloading just the boot floppy and installing over the net. > the boot floppy image file and the fdimage.exe is this all or do i need > more? i would like to download as much of the freebsd os and put it onto > a floppy disk as a backup incase i should ever need to reload. if you > will tell me what i need to get from the ftp site i would greatly > appreciate it If you are worrying about machine failure and reloading I've found that software is always easy to reload from the original.

SCO is SYS V-ish, which is as different from FreeBSD as a UN*X flavour can be. I've never seen it though, so I may (as usual) be wrong. The handbook has a list of good books, but the general rule of thumb is that anything that talks of 4.4BSD will fit nicely.

You have many choices there, but the most basic one that comes with FreeBSD is called BootEasy, and can be installed in the following way: 1. Boot *real* DOS (win95 DOS mode might not work). 2.

Booth" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, people. My modem (internal) in FreeBSD 2.1.5 is on COM3/cuaa2/sio2. [This is a home, stand-alone box for personal use.] I have gone into my config file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and changed the irq for sio2 from the default, 5, to 4, which it is in Linux (where I am now, so if you receive this it works set that way), commented out sio3 since I haven't anything there anyway, and recompiled. I still get the message with dmesg sio2 not found at 0x3e8 and ppp, dial provider as per the ppp HOWTO gets me a message that the modem cannot be reached. I have cuaa0 through cuaa2 in /dev, but no sio devices at all. But the mouse, which is on COM2/sio1/cuaa1 is found. I've got nothing on COM1/sio0/cuaa0. If not in /dev, where do sio devices dwell? I get the impression that cuaa is used for dial-out, sio for dial-in communications--if so, do I need sio2 for dialing out via ppp anyway? Ultimately I would like to have everything working, but for now, as I am trying to learn UNIX/FreeBSD at this box, dialing out will be enough for email, internet surfing, etc., downloading software, and generally tooling around in UNIX/FreeBSD. I don't quite see what I should try next, or where the apprapos information may be found. Some guidance would be welcome. Should I comment out sio1 in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf kernel file? I have nothing there, but it is sharing irq 4 now. BTW, in Linux I get this with " setserial -g -abv /dev/cua* " /dev/cua0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A /dev/cua1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A /dev/cua2 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A where mouse is on cua1 and modem is on cua2 and nothing is on cua0. The modem, a Newcom, doesn't tout itself as a pnp modem. TIA!

Can't you move your modem over to com1/cuaa0/ttyd0? If it's internal, there should be some jumpers on the board that switch it from COM1/2/3/4; check your manual. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.

Reply-to: amora@zoom.es Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.50) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings! These days I have been discussing with a fellow about the right way to make a process to run as a daemon. The easy way to do this seems to be -in a simplified scheme-: main() { ... if(fork()) /* let's say it'll never fail! */ exit(0); /* Parent dies */ /* child is inherited by init and becomes a daemon */ here_the_daemonized_code; } Another approach I saw somewhere -and the one I've been using- is a bit more complex: main() { ... if(!fork()) { /* child */ if(!fork()) { /* child's child */ while(getppid() != 1) sleep(1); code_to_daemonize; ... } exit(0); } wait(); /* parent waits to reap the first child */ exit(0); } This approach seems to be aimed to guarantee that the daemon process is inherited by init, so there is no chance to become a zombie process if it eventually dies. Is this really needed? By the way, are there any system related conditions that make zombies to be generated? TIA ---- Jesus A.

But it barfs and I guess I've learned the hard way that only 10 bits are allocated at some very low level, such as in the boot record itself, for addressing cylinder location. Is there any way around this? I phoned my bios (Award) manufacturer and all they could suggest was LBA. Is a bios change the only way out of this predicament? background: 1.6 gig WD drive with 3000+ cylinders being addressed with that geometry. NT installed with warnings about invisibility to dos, but i don't run dos, so whatever. installed freebsd out around cyl 2000 hoping that copying the mbr to the first partition (wd0) would end-run the limitation. Doesn't work, I believe because the MBR when executed then tries to load and run executable from some cylinder equal to freebsd root cylinder MOD 1024 (only 10 bits allocated). I think the answer is that there is simply no way around this and that I should have done installation with LBA or fragmented my NT partition and installed freebsd root below cyl 1024 (as your documentation clearly states!)

I have 32M of ram and and 27M of swap. The error is easily reproducable. I logged in as root and did the following command on a directory that contained 35 files that were 11.6M long total and were compressed with 'compress'. zcat * |less Things work well and I'm able to scroll through the files. I decide to go searching for keywords through all these files using less's search command. It works fine at first, but as you get closer to the end of the files, things get gradually slower and slower. Finally it reaches the point to where the system will suddenly do nothing but disk swapping, and all other processes are completely dead in the water and eventually die because of the lack of memory. However, less won't die and keeps on thrashing away despite all the vm_faults it's generating. My guess is that less is spawning a child process that will thrash the system until a vm_fault occurs kills that child process, less will simply ignore it and create another one that does the exact same thing an infinite amount of times. You can't kill less because you don't have enough memory to execute ps or the kill command. The only way of shutting down is to hit control-alt-delete. Here's are the kernel messages.

Cause, I have tried Redhat 4.1 and Slackware 3.1 on my system. Both don't seem to work with the boot manager named 'System Commander'. I just could not get the LILO which I had already installed into the super block of the Linux partition on my hard-drive (not the boot sector, System Commander resides in boot sector). As a result, I could only boot Window 95 with the boot manager as I start up my system. Everytime, I want to run Linux, I have to use a floppy disk. The error message I got is 'Ending address to large' and 'BIOS parameter limits Head=254 Sector=63 Cylinder=260'. I really have no clue how to eliminate this problem. My system configuration is the following: A Quatum Wide-SCSI drive with 2.1 Gigabyte storage An Adapetec AHA2940UW SCCI controller with its own BIOS embedded onto my Petium motherboard I have used the first 1.2 gigabytes of my hard-drive for Dos and Window 95. I created a primary partition and an extended partition starting at around 700 Mb up to the 1.2 Gb. The rest of my hard-drive (around 800 Mb) was intended to use with Linux. I have tried alll kinds of comibination to partioning of my hard-drive, but it still give me the same error. Do you have any ideas? Is something not compatible with my hard-drive? All the head, sector, cylinder settings for my drive are automatically configured when I installed my system. How should I respond to the error? I would like to know if FreeBSD will eliminate this error. If so, I would like to try that on my system. Thanks very much for help!

Based on your disk usage, to get FreeBSD running w/o a boot floppy (?) you'll have to reslice. (have you tried the boot floppy btw?)

Thanks. Booteasy must be installed on the first disk in the system. You can fetch boot.bin and bootinst.exe from where you got FreeBSD (in tools/) and run it on your first disk. Don't do this if you have OnTrack or some translation software running. Also, run FDISK and reset the active flag to a partition on your first disk.

I am using user PPP command to connect through my modem and I do manage to connect without any problems. The IPCP sets my host IP address and defines the peer IP address. I have configures the resolv.conf file with the IP address of the nameserver (which is correct since it works with the Internet Explorer dialer). I have tried using PPP in the dial on demand mode but when I run network commands like ping, ftp the command seems to hang and times out with an error message. The message states that the hostname for the DNS nameserver was not found. I find this strange since the FreeBSD handbook gives instructions to use an IP address rather than a hostname in the resolv.conf file. How can I configuring my networking so that all packets will be routed to my ISP and use the nameserver? Benn Horton.

You need to have an interface configured and a route to the outside world to trigger the dial-out. Have you seen the Pedantic PPP Primer in the Tutorials section on the website?

Contact Walnut Creek directly -- they may sympathize and replace it. We handle tech support, not sales, thankfully :). Hope this helps. SOrry for the bad experience, but it looks like you hit all the bugs. I'll tell you that the OS itself isn't quite so bug-prone. We have a server that's been up 70 days.

This disk can routinely move data at 15MB/sec; at least, it has in the past, with 2.1.5. It seems that either the Raid disk is dropping an SCB, or, the kernel is confused. Reading the scsi driver code, I see that there should only be 4 SCB's for this disk, even though the 2940 supports 16. The disk's serial port shows that frequently, on reads, up to 16 tagged requests are pending. The SCSI analyzer shows that the disk is rejecting requests with the scsi response "queue full", which is supposed to trigger the driver to reduce the number of opennings. The disk supports 16 SCB's. Seems to me that the kernel is sending more SCB's than it should, and is not honoring the limit of 4 SCB's, and worse, when the disk reports back that it can't accept more requests, the cpu just keeps hammering away.

Got a bit of a weird one here. We are an ISP running pretty much as a FreeBSD house, with them being a mixture of 2.1.5's (only one machine, due to the fact it is offsite and I havent had the time to go onsite and upgrade) and 2.1.7's. In the last 4 days the machine running 2.1.5 has been sporadically 'dropping data'. In that I mean, as an example, If youy try and send a message via that machines SMTP port, communication works fine for the HELO, MAIL FROM, and RCPT TO. The client then sends the DATA command, and according to sendmail logs, the machine reports a 354 message and awaits the data. However, the end-user program never see's the 354 message, and eventually times out. If you use the same machine, with the same e-mail message, and use a different SMTP host, it works fine. So, its a sendmail problem me thinks... so I recompile, reconfigure, cajoule, coax, abuse sendmail for 2 days, all to no avail. During the course of all this, its discovered that rcp'ing to the machine any large file also timesout. However, in 90% of cases, small files and small e-mails go through fine, but I dont see how this relates, because, the CLIENT is not seeing the servers 354, which occurs BEFORE it sends the data to the server, so at the stage that it is 'breaking' the server is unaware of the size of the message. So its not sendmail me says. So on I go with a kernel recompile. No change. Shut down every service on teh machine except qpop and sendmail 8.8.5. No change. Now the weirdest bit of all is, reboot the machine, it works ok for a while, then 10 - 15 hours after rebooting, it starts doing it all again. To through anotehr spanner into the works, it appears like another machine, running 2.1.7-RELEASE, is doing a similar thing. Users are occasionally reporting they FTP in as a real user, they get authenticated, but then they get a timeout when ls'ing. Similar situations are happening with the web services running on this machine. Access them direct on the LAN, not a problem, however, remote users report that a lot of the time they get broken pipe or timeout messages. Wether the two problems are related I am not sure. They seem similar, but the problem here is just to diverse. Im no un*x newbie, but its got me buggered as to what the problem is. Even the network card's have been replaced, the drop cable replaced and even increased RAM, and there is only about a .1% collision rate on the ethernet segment.

The problem also is impacting the dial-up users who connect to several PM25's that are on the same ethernet segment of the 2.1.5 server, and they do not utilise the 128k link at all. The PM's last time i checked wer set to 1500MTU for the PPP, and ditto for SLIP. However, the remote user complaints of 'broken pipe' etc are coming from singapore and malaysian users accessing the site via the internet. Some US users and other AU users have reported the same.

This should be taken up with the UWash (or whomever) people, since it's in their software. (I know it sounds like "blame them!"...) I can corroborate this sort of problem to SunOS systems -- our Sun SPARCenter 1000 mailserver will choke pretty badly if the mailspool > 2mb or so. Thus, we have 1mb quotas on the /var/mail filesystem to prevent such abuses of the mail system. > Regardless, it seems on a system with 30 megs free RAM and 200 megs of > virtual that pine or pop3d should not need more memory than that. Is > there a misconfiguration here? I'm guessing it gets stuck in an endless loop. Generally, pop will copy messages from the mailspool to a temp file as they are sent. It may be overflowing that copy. You should mention this to UWash or whomever provided you with ipop3d.

Speaking for 2.2.1, it serves as an IPX router. I suspect it's the same in -CURRENT. You can't have a 'client' and 'server' per se since it's a protocol, not a service. It's like having an IP 'server'-- what's that?

I'm looking forward to it as well, so I'm on the most current as I learn Java, but a 1.02 native binary distribution exists. I installed it and wrangled with the environment variables, and finally got stuff to compile and run. Installing JDK 1.02 1. Fetch ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/jdk102.11-26.tar.gz 2. Extract in location of your choice. 3. Install the pdksh package, if ksh isn't already installed. 4. Add /path/to/jdk/bin to your PATH 4. Add the following environment variables: CLASSPATH /path/to/jdk/classes.zip:. LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/jdk/lib/i386 Rehash and have fun programming...

The kernel, as delivered, doesn't support the D rev, but the PAO package does. See http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. I believe a boot floppy is available for newer RELEASEs, I haven't checked lately.

Boot your old kernel (by typinh 1:wd(2,a)/kernel.old), and go to the /dev directory. There, make sure that the wds1? devices exist. If they don't use MAKEDEV to make them. > > does that mean it can't find wd1s1f?? but i did switch the wd2s1f to > wd1s1f in /etc/fstab *Everything* should be wd1s1?. You simply don't have the device nodes for them. This is a very *small* problem that is solved, as I just described, by cerating the device nodes with MAKEDEV. I think "./MAKEDEV wd1" will be enough, but I'm not at my FreeBSD box now, so I can't be sure. At worst, you'll have to specify to it the exact name of the device nodes you want it to generate. > > Thanks for help!!!!! > Mark You're welcome, Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 9 04:53:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA14331 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 04:53:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.116.240]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA14326 for ; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 04:53:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (RBI-Z-5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id NAA24648 for ; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 13:53:47 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.8.5/8.6.9) id OAA03223 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 14:09:13 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Wed, 9 Apr 1997 14:09:13 +0200 (MET DST) From: Christoph Kukulies Message-Id: <199704091209.OAA03223@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Subject: linux emu (2.2) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to run a linux binary - took a simple one I thought, took vim from linux and tried to start it.

Which I thought was odd because of how natd + ppp -alias shares the same code. Its a p90 and only aliases about 5-6 hosts at most. I have thought of two ideas, my current mtu/mru is 296/296 I might try raising that to see if that has any effect. And I also was told to try disabling tcp_extensions in sysconfig.

Is it just to define TCP_WRAPPER while compiling ? I've tried this; it completes successfully. I didn't notice any -lwrap commands in the make output though. I would think that in order to use functions from the TCP wrappers library, one would have to link libwrap.a or libwrap.so, wouldn't they ? Using this switch seems only to centralize your host access into the same file as the rest of your TCP wrapper-protected service; it doesn't seem to do the forward/reverse DNS checks that TCP wrappers are primarily used for.

On itsdsv3 I have a dummy user set up that has write permission to the tape drive device. In this dummy user's home dir I have a .rhost file with entries of the sort: otherhost1.enc.edu root ...so root on otherhost1 can run dump u.... dummy_user@itsdsv3:/dev/nrst0 ... I have these dumps being invoked from a script. The script does this: 1. uses mt to rewind remote tape 2. uses mt to possibly skip forward x number of file marks 3. invokes dump several times to backup various local file systems Until recently, it worked fine, every time. Lately, however, I've been getting a "connection refused" error with step 2 or with the first dump invocation in step 3. If the latter, then the first partition dump is aborted but _all_other_ dumps complete without error!!! I'm a bit puzzled...

Go to Distributions and choose custom. ( by pressing spacebar ). Choose src, and in the source menu, you will be able to choose sys, which is the kernel source. If you want to do a make world, you will need most of the others as well. A make world isn't really neccessary if you had just installed a new release from scratch.

Go to Distributions and choose custom. ( by pressing spacebar ). Choose src, and in the source menu, you will be able to choose sys, which is the kernel source. If you want to do a make world, you will need most of the others as well. A make world isn't really neccessary if you had just installed a new release from scratch.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Basically, I installed 2.2.1 on a 486-DX100 on sd0, but when I boot I get the message "kernel panic... can not mount root on sd1"... Why would it look to sd1 for the root partition instead of sd0 ? Here are more details... 486-DX100, 32Meg RAM 2 drives... wd0 has a good version 2.1.7 on it which works VERY well!! I added an ASUS-875 SCSI controller (very NICE looking card BTW) and an old IBM 1gig SCSI drive on it. Ftp'd the boot disk, did a network install and all seemed to go well... everything ftp'd down, got to the "congratulations screen" and so on... But when I try and boot, everything works well until I get to the point where the system tries to mount sd1 for the root partition instead of sd0... Is there any easy way to fix this? I tried with the kernel.GENERIC as well, but the same problem... It still looks to sd1 for the root partition instead of sd0 where it was installed on... If I boot to 2.1.7 and manually mount the sd0 partitions, all seems fine...

That's the really interesting point. Theorically every process whose parent exits without waiting for it to die, would be inherited by init. Otherwise the child process will become a zombie when it dies. In my own experience an ICL DS-90 system, running SysVR4, generates a large number of zombies when it goes REALLY short of memory -and probably of CPU-. This is annoying, since you've got your process table plagued with these nasty guys. Again, are there kernel-related conditions -say race conditions, I don't know- that makes a system prone to generate zombies? Has this been observed in FreeBSD? See you! ---- Jesus A.

TeX is not a binary but a set of macros for the TeX virtual machine. virtex *is* the tex virtual machine. The same goes for LaTeX, mf, SliTeX and all others TeX derivatives. The *only* binary needed to run those is virtex. initex is used to generate a binary representation of the macros that make up such a package from the source. It is used when installing a TeX application. Also man tex, virtex, initex and friends (when you have them working ;-) ). For your problem - first pkg_delete all the TeX related packages you installed, then *manually* remove (or at least rename) anything that looks to you as having to do with TeX, and then reinstall the package. I haven't installed teTeX lately (last time I installed the package was on a 2.1.5R machine) but when I did it was very smooth.

For me to get a tex-binary, I have to install the tex-package = duplicate installation of some the binaries. As far as I can tell, there must be something wrong with the tetex-package, it's just not complete. :-( But before I say too much, is it the binary called "tex" I need, or is virtex or initex something I should use instead?

Also try rebuilding your kernel and modifying the 'kernel' line in the config to point to sd0. You can get started by typing sd(0,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt.

We've had trouble in the past (2.1.x series) with rsh not responding to connections for 30s after the last one has closed. You might try sticking a 'sleep 30' between the commands, just to make sure everything has settled before continuing to the next step.

I have heard of some sites with 1500. The limit you tend to see is either with named/gated and the number of interfaces they see or with the allowed number of open files. If you have a error and access log for each virtual host you have you may run out of open file descriptors quickly.

I'm becoming a little frustrated trying to figure out how to deliver mail to the correct userid with 2 exceptions. My ISP will deliver all email in the form of @bsampley.vip.best.com or bsampley@best.com to my mailbox at Best Internet. I'm using 3.0-current (after the lite2 merge) and using fetchmail to retrieve the email. I use fetchmail because it will easily retrieve email from more than 1 remote site, but the problem is fetchmail will only deliver the mail to the userid that called it. If I su to root and call fetchmail from an xterm window, it will still be delivered to the original userid, not to root. If fetchmail is started by /etc/rc.local, then all email is delivered to root. Basically I want to setup the following aliases: bsampley@best.com ---> burton@bsampley.vip.best.com bsampley@haywire.csuhayward.edu ---> burton@bsampley.vip.best.com I want all other mail delivered to @bsampley.vip.best.com My hostname is defined as "bsampley.vip.best.com" and I have a static IP address. I have built and installed smail and exim from the ports collection, but I can't figure out how to get either one to work on-demand when called from fetchmail using the -mda option in the .fetchmailrc file. I have experimented in commenting out the sendmail section of the /etc/sysconfig file only to find out that fecthmail will not work without it (because it needs SMTP). I believe that smail is designed to be called as sendmail, but I'm not sure. When I check TOP it reports that sendmail is running. Regardless of what it's called, if it's running in the daemon mode as called from /etc/sysconfig then fetchmail will deliver to the userid that called fetchmail. I have attempted to add the above aliases to the /etc/aliases file (both with and without the local domain name) and then executed mkaliases. There are no errors reported by mkaliases, but if I try newaliases, then I get a message saying mail can't be aliased to another domain. How do I get the local mail delivered? If I need to install something else (like maybe procmail) I'll do it as long as it can be configured to use ppp on-demand to call my ISP at regular intervals to D/L my email to my local system. FWIW, this box is also configured as a gateway for 1 Lose95 client. I'm trying to setup an email address for this client. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just installed Communicator 4.0b3 using the port that was updated today (April 9) and I get the familiar 'Floating point exception' message and a quick disappearance of Communicator whenver Java tries to start up. Several messages mentioned that the CLASSPATH had to be unset to make Java work so my current /usr/local/bin/netscape wrapper looks like: #!/bin/sh export XKEYSYMDB ; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB export XNLSPATH ; XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls export XAPPLRESDIR ; XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults #export CLASSPATH ; CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/netscape exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin $* and still it crashes. I copied the *.jar files (ifc11.jar, iiop10.jar, jae40.jar java40.jar) into ALL the locations mentioned in the README: The current directory (~) /usr/local/netscape/java/classes /usr/local/lib/netscape $HOME/.netscape and still it crashes. Would someone who has it working post their wrapper file and a list of the *.jar (or other java class) files they have installed, with a note of exactly where they are installed. ---- Ken From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 9 17:30:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA29501 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 17:30:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tok.qiv.com ([204.214.141.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA29493 for ; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 17:30:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by tok.qiv.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with UUCP id TAA04499; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 19:30:26 -0500 (CDT) Received: from localhost (jdn@localhost) by acp.qiv.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id TAA00941; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 19:09:50 -0500 (CDT) X-Authentication-Warning: acp.qiv.com: jdn owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 9 Apr 1997 19:09:49 -0500 (CDT) From: "Jay D.

The Problem: I can't seem to get the serial port to work right. The setup: I've got a three wire serial cable hooked up to COM1 (cuaa0). The other end is hooked up to an AIX (:P) host. I know the cable is working, 'cuz I get a login prompt on it from the AIX host on it when I plug it into a PC. I've been trying various settings on cuaa0, cuaia0 and cuala0 using "cu -l /dev/cuaa0" to connect to the port. I saw the prompt _once_ when I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in, so I know the port works, it's just not set up quite right. What I've tried: I've tried just about every setting I can think of, including clocal and -crtscts. The three devices for one port are kind of confusing, I'm not even sure half the time if what I'm doing is having any effect.... do I need to reboot for changes in cuala0 to work? What I need (aside from 4 Advils): I need to know the which settings to use and which device to set. Once I get it set I'm going to leave the connection set up permanently, so using cuala0 would be ok (i guess)....

Generally, the AWARD BIOSs do have the necessary support for the ASUS/NCR/SymBios SCSI controllers. Your AMI probably doesn't have it. You can purchase NCR cards with BIOS, one of which I have. They can be difficult to get a hold of from the end-user perspective, but if you check Symbios's website at http://www.symbios.com and with your local computer suppliers, you may be able to find some. I have the 53C815, which cost me about $125 total. Very nice card.

On AIX, use SMIT and set up for the correct speed and hardware flow control with the port set to 'enable'. You will have to add clocal to the stty settings (I forget what they're labeled in SMIT.) You'll have to tinker with the terminal type -- vt100 would probably be safe. If the AIX version is 4.x you should be done. If it's 3.2.x or earlier, get a whole bottle of Advil -- four won't be enough.

So, you're trying to set up the PC as a hardwired terminal from AIX? When you plug it in, hit a few times. If you got an intelligible login prompt once, then the settings are right (usually 9600 8-N-1).

Use /dev/cuaa0 for serial comm. The others are lock devices which don't help you.

After that, you have to set 'gateway=yes' in sysconfig, then configure your routing appropriately. You might poke Section 13 in the Handbook, it deals with routing and may be able to help you.

I haven't noted this behaviour on my personal FreeBSD server (2.1 series), but this server is usually not to overloaded.

You can have memory leaks that leave bits of allocated but unattached memory laying around, but these go away when the program is terminated. The best way, I guess, is to use vmstat or top to keep an eye on memory and swap usage, and if it keeps going up with no corresponding increase in processes, then get worried. > Does Apache fragment the memory a lot? > I am getting 5-17,000 hits a day. Not really.

That's about your only option if you do have a leak. We have a system that's been up 71 days running an ancient Apache that isn't seeing any major problems or memory leaks.

I don't > think it is possible, as one person will spam the changes another makes. Actually we just need to add users. Only one person (me) would edit the password file. I looked at the code some last night and it doesn't seem too bad. All we really need is to make sure the UID/GID is unique which can be done via an external lock file. The rest of the program already handles locking, etc. correctly. Is there anything else I am missing? > You have too many people adduser'ing ;) Well, it's convenient to be able to add new users while we're on the phone with them and check for problems. We add users at multiple locations so having one person to do it all isn't very practical. Our billing software has an Unix interface that would call adduser as a daemon, actually. Perhaps it's time for us to install that.

Perhaps it's time for us to install that. If you can queue the adduser requests (or even roll your own that handles concurrent password database acces) that would work better than fighting one another.

OK, I'm currently running an Asus SC200 on an Asus pentium motherboard but I've played with it a bit. OK, If you want to BOOT from a scsi device then you need SCSI BIOS. If, like me, you're booting from IDE and are going to use the card as a secondary controller for SCSI tape drives, SCSI CDROMs or non root device hard drives, then not having the BIOS is fine. My system is currently booting from an IDE drive mounted as / and has a SCSI HDD mounted as /usr and the SCSI BIOS support is turned off on my system.. RE: award bios. not ALL Award BIOSs have the SCSI BIOS built in. Good luck.

It sounds more like a memory hole in less (trying to store the output of the zcat) than a VM system fault. Considering this is 2.1.0, I doubt we can do anything for you.

Run it any other way and it works, but it deosn't create a pid file.

Date: Wed, 09 Apr 1997 22:30:45 -0700 From: Richard Johnson Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a program which locks your X screen and asks for your password in order to unlock it. (Yes, I know about cntrl-alt-backspace to exit X, and I know the program has to be setuid root in order to access the shadowed passwords.) I need to know how I should call "crypt" in order to encrypt what the user typed so I can compare the encrypted password strings. In previous versions BSD the seed was the taken as the first 2 characters of the encrypted password entry so you could simply pass the encrypted password to crypt as the second argument. I tried that under FreeBSD and it doesn't seem to work. Can someone quickly tell me how passwords are encrypted under FreeBSD? If no one knows right off I can do the research looking at source for passwd.c but I figured someone may know right off.

I have a HP694C running with apsfilter under FBSD-2.1.6 and was wondering what version of apsfilter you use (and GhostScript version). This is because the only drivers I found in gs were for dj500 series printers. I was wondering if there were some drivers for later printers I didn't know about. My versions for apsfilter and gs are whatever the provided ports for that release were. (if I was at the machine I could give you exact numbers).

They are just damn slow...:-( Ok, since msdosfs can crash your DOS partitions you should use mtools-3.5a for writing to these partitions. They work now for me. Don't use a version less then 3.4 when you trying to access SCSI-disks ! Otherwise you have a slower disk-access than to a floppy...:-( Just for those who are interested...

Have people add info to a file in /tmp, or what have you, and every 20 min or whatever adduser in batch mode adds all the users in that file, erases it and you start over. The interface can be that of your billing software aslong as you can have it write certain info that you need it to write out in the adduser batch mood structure... Does that help...

Then, define the printer on the NT machine to be shared. It will now be known by its share name through the lpd protocol, so for FreeBSD it'll be just like a remote printer connected to a UNIX host (look at the Handbook for instructions on that). Note: With NT 4.0 (but not 3.51) you need to print to the printer with the "-l" flag to lpr if you want NT to leave the data untouched. Otherwise, NT assumes it's a text file, so if you send a PostScript file you'll end up with the PostScript source... 3.51 and earlier didn't have this problem.

As far as crypt() itself the man page on it is quite helpful... an example of using it can be found in /usr/src/usr/bin/login/login.c. - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 10 06:09:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA04174 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 06:09:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sara.cpb.org (sara.cpb.org [198.187.60.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA04154 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 06:09:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sara.cpb.org ([198.187.60.3]) by sara.cpb.org (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with SMTP id AAA10450; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 09:09:07 -0400 Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 09:09:05 -0400 (EDT) From: mathison@sara.cpb.org (Neil T.

The target printer is a HP Laserjet 4M. printcap is set up for remote printing as per the handbook. However, right now it only prints plain ASCII correctly. Even though the HP 4M is suppose to switch to it's postscript personality automatically upon seeing a postscript file, its is printed as text. Moreover, special characters like backspace are not interpreted as such, but are displayed as a 'garbage' character. The print spooler on the NT box is set up to treat the data as RAW, which I assumed to mean to pass it through without screwing with it. The lack of handling of the backspace character confirms that much. However, why is a postscript file not recognized as such by the HP. Some NT guru mentioned that the NT LPD service required a control character of (lower case l). I'm not certain what he meant by that, and neither was he. He pulled it out of some book. Anyway, I will need to experiment with filters to see if I can print files other than as just plain text. I would be interested in finding out what you discover.

I'm trying to install the minibile distribution of version 2.2.1. One thing I must say is that the installation procedure is so straightforward that it doesn't leave much of any place to go if things don't work. I've attempted to install via a PPP serial connection, QIC tape, and finally by floppy. The latter is on the theory that a floppy installation is the most basic of all installations and eliminates the most possible variables. Anyway, I get through the kernel setup and disk configuration just fine. It asks me if I'm sure that I want to do the install. I respond affirmatively. It does its thing and then says that the installation is complete with errors. It all happens very fast and it doesn't appear that the appropriate source for the distribution is accessed at all. I'm told that I can get further info by responding with a "no" to the next prompt which confuses me because the next prompt is not a yes/no question. I exit and the system re-boots. Before the re-boot I'm able to see a list of debug information which all looks like what one would expect except that it's FOLLOWED BY a statement that says, "cp not found". I suspect that this is a clue to the identity of my problem. The only meaning that I can attribute to that statement is that the Unix copy command is not found. I don't know if that's what it means or not. Whatever it means, I have no idea what to do to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help. ... doug ______________________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@cybernautics.net http://www.cybernautics.net Don't bogart that file, my friend.

I've got NAS working (it was a library problem.) I'm fairly sure that NAS is OK, as auplay, auwave, audial all work. I've tried to get a version of 'tracker' to run on NAS as this has an NAS target in the distribution, but it runs through the MOD without producing any sound. (if you set -scroll then it prints it out as usual.) The text output is as usual, but very fast. After finishing, the child process doesn't exit. (the NAS driver forks, with a separate process to talk to NAS.) Has anyone got this to work with NAS? (Or any other tracker player. But 'tracker' seems the best choice as it has both a FreeBSD port and a NAS port. I don't know about gmod/xgmod but I assume that it is GUS only.

Entire machine worked perfectly. Would stay up for weeks on end. Installed (upgraded to) 2.2.1-Release (w/XF86 3..2) without any problems. Recompiled kernel with my old configuration file without any problems. Re-booted machine, again, no problems. Started doing things. No problem for 2 or so hours. Then while doing multiple compiles the system hung. No warning, no console error messages, just hung. Mouse wouldn't respond, ctrl-backspace did nothing, ctrl-alt-del did nothing. System completely dead. Did a reset. Rebooted w/o problem. Same thing, after a few minutes of light/medium SCSI activity the machine would crash. Upgraded to 2.2-970401-RELENG same problem. If I let the machine run with minimal SCSI activity (i.e. running Xlock) the machine will stay up for days w/o incident. When I go anduse the disks then the crashes occur. The 2842 VLB SCSI controller uses the same microcode as the 2940 PCI. Could this be a related problem? I'm going to reconfigure the kernel to use an old Adaptec 1542C to see if the probem goes away or if is SCSI related. Anyhelp would be appreciated. Harry Reed doon@hrc.nevada.edu .

Thanks. > > > > > Omkar V. Shertukde Are you sure you don't have a getty running on the port? I though I had this problem. Try a ps -gaxuw | grep ttyd1. the problem is, that the getty for modem connections doesn't run connected to the port. at least, until you actually dial in and the login: prompt get's spit out accross the connection. Are you sure you're modem's set to auto-answer? If not, enter the appropriate switches using tip, the go try and dialin. The getty is probably running, it's just that a ps -agO user (which is my standard command) doesn't pick it up because it's not a standard system process, and it's not attached to a port. If any of this is flawed or doesn't work, it's not my fault; I'm not a part of the core team, I don't know the source by heart; all I know is, I got it to work like this.

This computer is running as stand-alone server. Installed network card 3com 509 (ep0 driver). I conneted this computer with another computer with a clean harddisk and also one network card. Same as above. The main computer has a cdrom drive with the 2.1.7 RELEASE cdrom. I have made a 2.1.7 boot floppy for my new computer and boot from that floppy. The next step is to transfer the data from the main computer to the new computer. from the install menu I select (sorry) the novice installation. - the harddisk will be partionated - the several part od freebsd will be created - the next step is select installation media - I select ftp - choose my own URL - the installation program ask me to fill in a adress: ftp://Amigo/cdrom - setup the network interface information I choose ep0 - The next step is to fill in the Network configuration: my questions: Host: the hostname of the the main computer (Amigo.Leek) or a new hostname It is filled in with Amigo.Leek so I think it is the host of the main computer Domaim: idem Filled in with Leek Gateway: what to fill in, must I change something in my main computer ?? I do nothing Name server: idem I do nothing Configuration for interface ep0 IP Address: 192.168.3.1 (IP Address of my main computer) Netmask: 255.255.255.0 (idem) Extra configuration: I do nothing First I see a warning about I don't have fille in a gateway, but I don't know what to do with gateway. After that I see a message: Couldn't open FTP connection to Amigo. And the installation fails. So can anybody tell me how to install FreeBSD from my new computer using a connection to my main computer ?? Must I change something in my main computer (gateway) ?? Has anybody this also done ?? Is this possible to do this ?? Sorry to tell but this is my first time using a network, so I think I install FreeBSD using the network, but I can't do it now.

The AMD 5x86 is a 486-class processor and thus needs "I486" cpu support in the kernel. The AMD K5 processors are pentium-class processors and require "I586" cpu kernel support. I've not used and 5x86s, but now have 3 machines running on K5s and feel the performance is quite good. The K5/133 outperforms the P5/133 in everything we've tried under FreeBSD, and is a fair bit cheaper. YMMV. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The problem is whenever mail is sent from the shell, or if someone uses it as their smtp server, they get an UNKNOWN user on the local system, instead of sending it to the system it is destined for. I set the Virtual domains up the way it is in the Sendmail FAQ. With a Ruleset 98 rewrite, and using a database for the different virtual domains. I removed the company in question from everything I think. What else am I missing? thanks From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 10 17:41:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA14448 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 17:41:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Pkrw.tcn.net (Pkrw.tcn.net [199.166.4.58]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA14443 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 17:41:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (krw@localhost) by Pkrw.tcn.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA00521 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 20:44:46 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: Pkrw.tcn.net: krw owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 20:44:42 -0400 (EDT) From: "Kenneth R.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Another poke through the mail archives and a desparate look at an old message from last year and .... voila. The problem (my problem at least!) turns out to be a requirement that you be running X with >256 colours. The old message I found mentioned that an old netscape navigator blew up because it didn't have enough colour map entries to play with so I thought what the hell and finally buckled down and fixed my XF86Config to use 800x600 at bpp 16 instead of 1280x1024 at bpp 8, and summoned X with 'startx -- -bpp 16'. And suddenly Java pages and the Communicator Java console appeared without a floating point exception in sight! I hope this helps a few of the poor souls who shared the non-java purgatory with me! To summarize: I used the port to install, modified no files, copied the java files nowhere they weren't and with bpp = 8 got floating point exceptions but with bpp = 16 got none. ---- Ken From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 10 17:54:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA15037 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 17:54:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA15032 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 17:54:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA07022; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 17:54:00 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 17:54:00 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Lemle Geza cc: freebsd-questions@freeBSD.org Subject: Re: Change version 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 Thu, 10 Apr 1997, Lemle Geza wrote: > I currently run 2.1.7-STABLE.

The standard place is /etc/sendmail.pid. If it's not in either of these places, are you sure that sendmail is really running?

I suppose that in addition to this request that I'm also looking for the installer to install a kernel with all the serial console stuff already in the kernel. At least enough for me to get the machine running and compile my own kernel. I would look at doing this myself (and it's probably pretty straight forward) except that I'm not sure how to read the existing FreeBSD boot floppy long enough to drop a new kernel in place. Essentially I'm looking at building a FreeBSD based firewall.. The machine is going to be headless, and so I'd just assume not have to take my desktop workstation apart for the monitor and video card. Please CC: replies to me (joed@ksu.edu) as I'm not currently subscribed to -install.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to say that Mr Doug White has resolved the problem I reported yesterday that after an upgrade from 2.0-RELEASE to 2.7.1-RELEASE, building the GENERIC kerenl failed, and with a note about other make failures. Mr White's suggestion was to . rm -rf /usr/src/sys . refetch the ssys distribution. This worked. When I built a kerbel to support AST compatible multiport (4 x 16450) cards, make failed with undefined symbol _sioi referenced from text segment. This was an error in the kernel configuration file that escaped /usr/sbin/config notice. (Caused by an MS-Windows copy that truncated the right part of lines of text, so that what should have been device sio5 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty flags 0x503 irq 9 vector siointr appeared as device sio5 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty flags 0x503 irq 9 vector sioi ) Thank you very much, S Hopcroft From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 10 23:57:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA00967 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 23:57:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cu.imt.net (cu.comp-unltd.com [204.212.40.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA00960 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 23:57:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pearl.montana.edu (bzn09.imt.net [205.162.162.42]) by cu.imt.net (8.7.3/8.6.12) with ESMTP id AAA29591 for ; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 00:52:26 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <334DDFE4.8EE1D727@cs.montana.edu> Date: Fri, 11 Apr 1997 01:53:24 -0500 From: Anthony Dotson X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0b3C (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: MYKERNEL...

The machine is planed to be a mail server accepting both inbound and outbound mail, it will also be our POP server as well as run 4 light mailing lists. As it's a 'major server' you can appreciate why we've asked. AT the moment our mail server is an Intel P90 running Linux 1.2.13 and as performed flawlessly with uptimes in excess of 60 days, it's never crashed, we only reboot it to clear the RAM and any possible stuck processes. The reason for the change is that during peak periods it will see loads of around 8, however 99% of the time the load is 0.01, where wondering with the price of AMD 'pentium' chips, if we could the load would reduce during those heavy periods. BTW we know what causes the load - procmail when it delivers our announcement mailing list. I've just seen in a previous message something about qpoppers bullitin feature, I wonder if using that feature will get around this problem?

Yes, but as I know, it's not documented anywhere. The vidcontrol(1) manual says something about the -l screenmap option, but doesn't say what's that. So - on syscons, as I know, the screenmap is a 256 byte file, and if you type the char which has code 135, the driver send the 135th char in that file. Not too much, and maybe incorrect, as I got it from the source, not from the authors of syscons/vidcontrol.

Earlier today I found that the port had been updated to use Mtools-3.3. I downloaded the port and the distfile, ran a 'make all install', and no more error messages at run time. Slightly worryingly, there were a couple of warnings at compile time though. Perhaps these are fixed in the current version of Mtools (3.5a) - there is mention of a port for this version on www.freebsd.org but it doesn't seem to have made it to any of the ftp sites yet. - Ian On 05 April 1997 19:49, Ian Vaudrey wrote: > Hello, > > I've just installed 2.2.1R and also chose to install mtools from > the packages collection.

All that I have tried do not seem to work. 2. What type of X settings do I need to use? I have tried using VGA16 and SVGA defining the chipset I have (Cirrus Logic GD7543) and it doesn't want to work. Sometimes when I try to use Xconfig to modify the settings, the machine reboots. Nice feature hey? 3. Small problem. Only 16M of RAM is recognized at bootup. Is this just a kernel rebuild? If anyone has had experiences with one of thes (or similar notebook) and can give some pointers, please let me know. Thanks a bunch...

I've attached one error trace from loading AcroRead PostScript files into GhostScript 4.0.3 below. After further investigation, I notice that the PostScript that my Solaris AcroRead and the Linux AcroRead kick out are the same except for a few comments. I incorrectly assumed the PostScript the Linux version was generating wasn't valid because GhostScript on my FreeBSD box couldn't read it but the GhostScript on my work box (and the LJ4 at work) could. Bit of a logic leap there. Given this realization, I compared versions. I'm running Aladdin GhostScript 2.6.1 (5/28/93) at work. Strange that it handles the PostScript that AcroRead kicks out but version 4.03 doesn't. Anyway, that seems to be the ticket.

Why a 150? We are talking about a server with a lot of disk IO and the PCI bus for a 150 is 30, which is why I stay with 100/133/166/200 CPU speeds. Also good to use several smaller drives. >BTW we know what causes the load - procmail when it delivers our >announcement mailing list. I've just seen in a previous message something >about qpoppers bullitin feature, I wonder if using that feature will get >around this problem? Never used procmail, but it sounds like it should have a CPU limit flag, just like sendmail does, so when load high it doesn't spawn. I heard in qpop it was broken, so I imagine that I'll be doing a script that will use a faked header (so POP can read it), lock the mailbox, copy the message, etc. With this my ability to choose which users/groups will receive a copy is greatly expanded and is faster than using mail with less disk IO. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 11 16:57:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA01188 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 16:57:30 -0700 (PDT) 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 QAA01177 for ; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 16:57:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mixcom.mixcom.com (8.6.12/2.2) id SAA04520; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 18:57:56 -0500 Received: from p75.mixcom.com(198.137.186.25) by mixcom.mixcom.com via smap (V1.3) id sma004509; Fri Apr 11 23:57:41 1997 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970411185027.00b70ac0@mixcom.com> X-Sender: sysop@mixcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Fri, 11 Apr 1997 18:50:27 -0500 To: tony@warp.co.uk From: "Jeffrey J.

I'm not sure how FreeBSD would react, but your PC won't boot without a video card installed. You should get beeps if you try to boot without one. So you're going to need to find a video card somewhere (EGA would probably work for booting, if FreeBSD doesn't mind). --Ludwig Pummer ----------------------------------------------------------------- ludwigp@sns.com ICQ UIN: 692441 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 Fri Apr 11 22:03:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA14213 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 22:03:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.vcr.istar.ca (mail.vcr.iSTAR.ca [204.191.152.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA14208 for ; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 22:03:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pme84.sunshine.net [204.191.205.84] by mail.vcr.istar.ca with smtp (Exim 1.58 #2) id 0wFuxZ-0006Fp-00; Fri, 11 Apr 1997 22:02:46 -0700 X-Sender: sn1020@sunshine.net (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: "Jordan K.

The down load was doing alot of timing out although when I would ping there was normal reaction with the main server (ftp.freebsd.org) and then I would re-attach and as prompted and the transmission would slow down to a crawl and finally fail. Now the pc is not responding to my login at all after a 3rd and I thought successful attempt. >> After login: root I recieved some mighty strange messages.

I now have a /usr partition that is about 450M... The ports/distfiles is about 70M of that, but the rest is all stuff that's inclusive with the OS. I sent mail about this a while back, and no one knew what the problem was, but now I have yet another clue to share. In /usr/obj, the entire source tree was replicated like so: /usr/obj/usr/src...etc.. So after not knowing how it got there, I blew it out with no ill effects. Yesterday I cvsup-ed to 2.2.1 (Mr. Polstra, cvsup rocks!) and decided to bring myself up to date. Made a new kernel, then started a "make world" last night. Everything went perfectly, except for the mystery directory. It's back again. So am I missing something here? Is that how it's supposed to be? It seems a bit large to me, and it *looks* like a redundant hierarchy...

Mike Murphy reported me a similar problem (there's even PR # bin/1872 open for it), where he finally found that the problem was the slow 8-bit ethernet card of his server. Setting NFS readdir size down to 1024 might help, but amd doesn't offer this option. Frankly, amd's option handling in this respect just sucks, there are more options to mount_nfs(8) now that are not supported by amd (like the NFSv3 stuff). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 12 15:32:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA27478 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 12 Apr 1997 15:32:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de (ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de [134.147.6.16]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA27446 for ; Sat, 12 Apr 1997 15:31:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from roberte@localhost) by ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de (8.8.4/8.8.4) id AAA00428; Sun, 13 Apr 1997 00:31:35 +0200 (MESZ) From: Robert Eckardt Message-Id: <199704122231.AAA00428@ghost.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> Subject: Re: Death Ping & 2.1.7.1R In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19970411185027.00b70ac0@mixcom.com> from "Jeffrey J.

I also would minimise the kernel build for the first build ( no firewall, soundcard, nonessentials ) then add the goodies once you have a successful build. btw does the generic kernel build okay? good luck -- Tom Jackson I'm ProChoice->FreeBSD toj@gorilla.net http://www.freebsd.org tjackson@tulsix.utulsa.edu "Out in the Ozone Again" From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 12 22:48:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA17452 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 12 Apr 1997 22:48:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from peeper.my.domain ([208.128.8.132]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA17430 for ; Sat, 12 Apr 1997 22:47:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from tom@localhost) by peeper.my.domain (8.8.5/8.7.3) id AAA03789; Sun, 13 Apr 1997 00:44:31 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <19970413004431.04275@peeper.my.domain> Date: Sun, 13 Apr 1997 00:44:31 -0500 From: Tom Jackson To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: error msg using tip (all ports busy) References: <199704121824.NAA18041@Starbase.NeoSoft.COM> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.69e In-Reply-To: <199704121824.NAA18041@Starbase.NeoSoft.COM>; from jmcab on Sat, Apr 12, 1997 at 01:24:40PM -0500 Reply-To: toj@gorilla.net Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, Apr 12, 1997 at 01:24:40PM -0500, jmcab wrote: > Greetings & thanks for the help. > Just installed 2.2.1 on an old 386-20, it has a new 14400 modem.

If your bios lets you diable the com port your modem is set to, do. Read the handbook and FAQ, there is a lot on this subject. Make sure you have editted your /etc ttys and remote file correctly. Then do a hard-wired connection tip to your modem, like tip cuaa1b or such ( look at the bottom of the remote file ). It should say `connected', at gives ok, you get the idea?

Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Status: RO Those tracking the 2.1-stable branch via CTM or CVSup can probably ignore this message since you're already up-to-date with our post-2.1.7 fixes. There was essentially a bug found in the AHC 2940 driver which caused certain heavily loaded machines (like news servers) to fail intermittantly. Since both we and our customers prefer 2.1.7 machines to stay up 24/7, it was felt that a point release for new 2.1.7 installations and upgrades was in order. Sure, it's easy enough to load 2.1.7, CVSup it up to 2.1-stable and then make world & kernel on it, but that still takes time. If you're going to be installing or updating any new 2.1.7 machines, I therefore recommend using this more recent release. I've also included the changes between 2.1.7 and 2.1.7.1 sources as gzip'd unidiffs for patch(1) in the src distribution this time, for the convenience of those who already have 2.1.7 on CD and merely want to get up to 2.1.7.1 (the patch file is small enough to fit on a 1.2MB floppy). Those who curious to know exactly what changed in-between 2.1.7 and 2.1.7.1 may also find the diffs to be interesting reading. See: 2.1.7.1-RELEASE/src/2.1.7-2.1.7.1.diffs.gz The release notes for 2.1.7.1 basically say the rest, so without further ado: RELEASE NOTES FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 RELEASE 0. What is this release? ------------------------ FreeBSD 2.1.7[.1]R is the follow-on release to 2.1.6R and focuses primarily on fixing bugs and closing security holes, the most notable being the setlocale() bug (see ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CERT) in 2.1.6R. 2.1.7.1 is an even smaller incremental fix release to 2.1.7, primarily aimed at fixing some problems with the Adaptec 2940 driver which could cause instability in very heavily loaded systems (like news servers). We essentially brought in all changes from the RELENG_2_1_0 branch between the release date of 2.1.7 and March 18th, 1997. Those fixes include: o 2940 driver bugs fixed. o Various buffer overflows in: date, ps, libc, route, ... o Various games fixed up. o System installation tool updated. o Intel Etherexpress Pro/100B now works in full-duplex mode. o Bug fixed in pkg_add which caused packages like xemacs to fail.

As I remember, even if the bios on the card is disabled, when you boot-up, you see a Adaptec msg, maybe not, not sure. Anyway, I would get the card/disc working in plain old dos first. Its more forgiving of screw ups, then go on to fbsd. This advice is worth what it cost you ;). btw, consider putting your root directory on your ide drive. good luck -- Tom Jackson I'm ProChoice->FreeBSD toj@gorilla.net http://www.freebsd.org tjackson@tulsix.utulsa.edu "Out in the Ozone Again"
