Yes. You requested that CVSup give you CVS repositories for all the specified distributions and put those repositories in /usr. Since src-all and cvs-crypto live under /usr/src it turned /usr/src into a CVS repository. Similar for /usr/ports; you also gave it permission to delete, so it assimilated /usr/ports into the CVS repository for ports. If you want to grab stuff in checkout mode (ie, get _real_ files) you need to specify a tag. If you want the most current stuff, then change ports-all to ports-all tag=. tag is any valid CVS tag, ie RELENG_2_2 and so forth. . is the head. You can *default this if you want real files for everything.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid that I'm still a bit confused; notice that I *did* specify a tag via the line: "*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2" Both the src-all and cvs-crypto updates were checkouts, and afterwards a make world worked just fine. Only the ports-all update morphed /usr/ports into something else. The culprit is the "tag=RELENG_2_2". This works for src-all and cvs-crypto, but does something completely unexpected for ports-all. If this isn't a bug, it's certainly inconsistent with the Handbook. This supfile does the "right" thing for me: *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all cvs-crypto ports-all tag=. release=cvs According to the Handbook, a "." tag is associated with FreeBSD-CURRENT, which AFAIK means FreeBSD 3. I want to track 2.2-STABLE, hence the RELENG_2_2 tag. If "." *does* mean -CURRENT in connection with ports-all, then there may be potential problems with shared libraries if I use them with 2.2-STABLE. No?

I've rebuilt my kernel with the 'device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 5 vector lptintr' line in my kernel's conf file and restarted. As root, doing a 'lptest >/dev/lpt0' results in having a page being printed with the top line containg the first 79 characters lptest is supposed to print with a following line containing a single double quote '"' aligned all the way to the right. After this page is fed from my printer 2 more blank pages are fed and the printer's working light will continue to blink until I reset the printer which causes a final blank page to be fed out. When printing with 'lpr' I'll either get a single blank page or the text I was trying to print except that it has the "staircase effect". Here's the contents of /etc/printcap: lp|HP Deskjet 660Cse:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lp.log: /var/log/lp.log is empty.

The MASQUERADE_AS suggestions won't work because the mail would then be from jeff@snet.net or sonya@snet.net. Not metcalf@snet.net. If you only had those two addresses you could probably work a deal with your ISP but your etc.. suggests you have more.

I think it's more like a multi-drop RS422 serial bus, since the mouse, keyboard, and other devices are all plugged into it, with the mouse always being last since it has only *one* port. The specs for the "Sun Desktop Bus" are essentially the same as the "Apple Desktop Bus", I've heard the two are even somewhat compatible. I've never tried it myself; my Sun type 5 keyboard would certainly make my old Mac LC-II at work more livable. ;^) I believe Sun publishes specifications for the SDB, have you tried contacting them or poking around www.sun.com for more information? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Welcome. Yes, FreeBSD has a GUI - XFree86.

Also UnixWare doesn't belong to Novell anymore, they sold it to SCO. If your dealings with SCO are like most of those on this group (perhasp SEF will disagree), that alone would cause you to abandon the idea of using UnixWare. Give FreeBSD a try - it won't cost you anything but some time. It is a great system for learning about UNIX, and a great system for getting work done. I've even managed to convert die-hard embedded programmers used to DOS for their development platform over to FreeBSD. When one of them realized he could port all of the MC68HC11 development tools he'd written for DOS over the years to FreeBSD in a day, he was hooked. Then I pointed out the 'bcc' compiler to him, and the fact that it was ready to go for 68HC11, and he almost cried. ;^) *Anyone* who uses PCs can benefit from FreeBSD. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Is this true? Yeah, 5 meg is pretty minimal for FreeBSD.

I am a newbie to FreeBSD and Unix. Days before I got a FreeBSD CD-ROM from Walnut Creek and I am eager to install that on my computer.

Because my SCO unix is not installed successfully due to the fault of distribution disk, I intend to use the partition for SCO unix(which occupy the first 320MB of harddisk) to install FreeBSD.

[timeout] It took me some find it but here it is from FAQ37 ... 2.15. What about disk managers? My BIOS doesn't support large drives! FreeBSD recognises the Ontrack Disk Manager and makes allowances for it. Other disk managers are not supported. If you just want to use the disk with FreeBSD you don't need a disk manager. Just configure the disk for as much space as the BIOS can deal with (usually 504 megabytes), and FreeBSD should figure out how much space you really have. If you're using an old disk with an MFM controller, you may need to explicitly tell FreeBSD how many cylinders to use. If you want to use the disk with FreeBSD and another operating system, you may be able to do without a disk manager: just make sure the the FreeBSD boot partition and the slice for the other operating system are in the first 1024 cylinders.

This is similar to the userdb functionality. The same types of addresses as for masquerading are looked up, i.e. only header sender addresses unless the allmasquerade and/or masquerade_envelope features are given. The addresses must be in the list of names given by the macros GENERICS_DOMAIN or GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE (analogously to MASQUERADE_DOMAIN and MASQUERADE_DOMAIN_FILE, see below). The argument of FEATURE(genericstable) may be the map defintion; the default map definition is: hash -o /etc/genericstable The key for this table is either the full address or the unqualified username (the former is tried first); the value is the new user address. If the new user address does not include a domain, $j is used. between masquerade and generics and virtusertable you can do anything to email addressing ;) jmb From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 20 17:02:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA28244 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Apr 1997 17:02:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA28229 for FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org; Sun, 20 Apr 1997 17:02:01 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 17:02:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Greg Lehey Message-Id: <199704210002.RAA28229@freefall.freebsd.org> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. =================================================== Last update 17 October 1996. This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

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

You probably want an X server for Win95, which is called 'eXceed' I believe. It costs money tho.

You can make the boot floppy and boot that directly. Leave the drive mode on whatever it is, FreeBSD does not necessarily use it.

I'm surprised you can even get to it if something is mounted on /PC_Server. You should put it on a unique mountpoint such as /PC_server_private or somesuch.

You can take ppm pictures using the 'qcamcontrol' program.

Try to configure like this: $ORIGIN domain.name mailhost IN A ip.number.of.the-machine IN MX 10 mailhost.domain.name. # specify any other mail exchanger if exist @ IN A ip.number.of.the-mailhost-machine IN CNAME mailhost.domain.name. # it may seems curious that a machine has two host record with # different name but it works on ours.

When I booted freebsd, the automatic fsck'ing failed on my /dev/rwd1s4e with the error: Can't open /dev/rwd1s4e: Invalid argument And dumped me into single-user mode. Trying to mount the partition manually gives: [morden] 0:33 ~ mount -t ufs /dev/wd1s4e /usr2 /dev/wd1s4e on /usr2: Incorrect super block. Now, this partition has been fine for several months since I installed it, although I have been playing around with upgrading my windows partition which may have buggered up my partition information. The rest of my partitions mount fine: /dev/wd0a on / (local) /dev/wd0s2f on /usr (local) /dev/wd0s2e on /var (local) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/wd1s3e on /home (local) /dev/wd1s1 on /d (local) /dev/wd1s5 on /e (local) I'm not sure what other information is needed to identify the problem and/or a solution, so if there is anything else you need to know I'll post it.

The biggest feature of my preferred solution, which I neglected to point out :( , is that the identity of the sender and/or recipient is not lost. So the original poster can continue to send mail with From: and Reply-To: set to userid@something.snet.net. When people send responses his provider will dump them into the local mailbox for metcalf. When metcalf picks up mail, procmail can be used to automatically distribute the mail properly. Anything that rewrites the From:/Reply-To: to a single address strips the information that would allow you to do this. You'll have to work with your ISP for this to fly, but it's easy for the ISP to setup and should be cheap.

The machine is to be a gateway connected to the Internet via ppp and to a local ethernet network. The first problem is that I have to manually insert a default route using ppp's add command every time I connect. I have a "0 0 HISADDR" line in ppp.linkup, but it does not seem to make any difference. When I type ppp ON> add 0 0 203.63.80.130 <- being the addr of the router I dial into I can reach the greater internet, but not the rest of the local ethernet. (packets destioned for the ethernet now go out the ppp interface.) I really need to use something like the HISADDR macro, because I dont know exactly which router I will reach when I dial in.

Ran into some problems with reports under cron that fail dismally when sendmail is used, but mail works fine. I am used to an older sendmail, still it should add the @host.domain in the from and return-path lines when it checks the alias file and finds it redirected (mail proxy didn't like it w/o at least *something* before and after the "@") or did I explain/miss something.

Doing 'fdisk wd1' should show something similar to what 'fdisk wd0' shows on my system: one:~% fdisk wd0 ******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=656 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=656 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)) start 63, size 1048257 (511 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 129/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 5,(Extended DOS) start 1048320, size 3144960 (1535 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 130/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 519/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 7,(OS/2 HPFS, QNX or Advanced UNIX) start 4193280, size 677376 (330 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 520/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 603/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 4870656, size 419328 (204 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 604/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 655/ sector 63/ head 127 It looks like fdisk shows partitions 0-3, but the slice numbers go from 1-4, so adjust your numbers accordingly. That partition 1 of mine is my extended partition and the 3 DOS partitions I have in there should be known as slices 5-7 from FreeBSD land.

I am using FreeBSD 2.1.0 I have recently set up dynamic dial-up ip using pppd (kernel ppp) (before that we used pppd, but the address were UNREAL and invisible to the internet, but recently we received a brand new C class network :) The setup looks like this: options: # # Empty # # lcp-echo-failure 20 crtscts domain norilsk.ru modem #proxyarp defaultroute debug -detach options.ttydX: # # Empty # # lcp-echo-failure 20 193.124.250.50:194.135.38.2 As you can see i commented proxyarp in options. I did it because i have been receiving the following error on every connection : Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP. Which is logical and, besides, everything works without it. Instead i added defaultroute, but it did not change much.. I don't even understand what it did :) After the above setup the thing went crazy! 1) Now i have to way from 3 to 5 minutes before i actually can do anything (when i dial from windows95 system). It seems like the route is being added for quite a long time. But is it so long ? After that waiting period everything works just fine, but the first 3-5 minutes Expoloree and Mail do tiimeouts. The other thing is that if i disconnect and rconnect immidiately everything works fine, but if i reconnect after, let's say, 5 minutes.. that's it.. i have to wait again. Is it a routing problem ? Is there a solution ? What is the reason ? 2) Popper went crazy too, Now it started to give me "Unable to get canonical name of client, err=0" error. Why ? How to solve it ? Please, help me, my clients are ready to kill me!

Sorry I'm so late responding. I got the FreeBSD side working pretty easily, considering I have no experience with networks. It will ping the other card and even report its ethernet address correctly. I cannot ftp or telnet or do anything else. I just get "permission denied" from the NT machine. The documentation is no help and I think I must have done something when setting up NT to restrict its communication to its workgroup or domain. It seems to have no way to be told about another machine being out there. I'm thinking I should just load FreeBSD 2.2.1 from the CD when it gets here and forget NT. The machine (the NT one) has a CDROM built by Toshiba running thru an atapi IDE controller/interface as drive D. I'm hoping I read the documentation correctly and that that should work. Comments? Anyone? Thanks again for your suggestions.

Searching through the mailing-list archives, I found recommendations to 1) disable sync, 2) disable disconnect, 3) slow the MB/sec transfer rate, 4) disable wide negotiation, 5)turn of "ultra" negotiation, and of course 6)check cabling,termination.

FreeBSD runs the ftp daemon (ftpd) and telnet daemon (telnetd) by default, so you will always be able to ftp or telnet to it from any other machine (NT included, as long as you have installed tcp/ip protocol). To ftp to the NT machine you need to install an ftp daemon. I've done this on win95 by installing the anonymous ftp service in the network proporties, but I don't know about NT.

Am I throwing potato chips into the wind here? My solution was to first, place the 2 HDDs on ide1 (controller #1), the jumpers are set like this : HDD1 = set a master HDD2 = set a slave Then, I put the CD-Rom on ide2 with the jumper settings set like this: CD-Rom = set to master. On setting it up like this dos/windoze still recognises the 2 HDDs and the CD-Rom. Also, FreeBSD recognises the CD-Rom on the second IDE controller. Note: I have WinNT and FreeBSD 2.1.7, but I think it should work with Win95 and any version of FreeBSD that supports Atapi CD-Roms. If any of the FreeBSD hackers have better suggestions, you may want to take their advise.

If you're not running -stable, you might exhibit problems. I'm not sure if aic7xxx updates are being rolled back into the 2.1.7 line, but they are being rolled back into the 2.2.1 line and -current. > I also tried adjusting the Jaz drive's MB/sec, and disabling ultra/wide > transfers as appropriate for that device while leaving the other settings > for the IBM UW drives alone....no luck.

I've been using FreeBSD for several months now (first version 2.1.6, then 2.2 and now 2.2.1) and it crashed for the first time ever (without a major hardware failure) yesterday.

This cdrom drive is flaky and often doesn't work. I removed it yesterday when the system crashed. What are the odds that the cdrom drive was at fault?

No, just its default configuration. Unless you've explicitly set parity to none, tip uses even parity. getty handles this situation, but login does not. I've been confused by this situation myself. IMHO, tip should default to 8N1. There's rarely any need these days to use 7 bit parity settings, especially by default, and especially if login does not handle it intelligenty by detecting use of parity and setting termios accordingly (which it could to at a login: prompt, but not Password: unfortunately).

But I still have more questions: 1. Is there any WRITTEN manual for FreeBSD? One that explains everything, or close to everything? There are just too many commands in FreeBSD and I just hope to at least be aware of their existance. 2. Are the messages displayed at the beginning of each boot-up stored somewhere? I get this error standard daemons: inetd cron printer sendmailroot... Recipient names must be specified everything time I boot and the system just freezes there until I press Ctrl-C. The name of the machine is defined in /etc/hosts, and I modified my /etc/ host.conf to read host bind But it is still the same thing. What happened here? I don't think the system can figure out the host either, because I saw another error like (don't remember exactly) Unable to resolve address in host And there are a whole bunch of other errors too. That's why I need to get a printout of the initial messages generated by the system when it boots; the screen scrolled down too fast to see. 3. This mailing list seems pretty useful. How can add to this list and see questions that other people have and learn from them? Thanx again for answering my questions. Hope to hear from you soon.

Eh - there are other terminal emulators out there, e.g. emu (hope I remember the name correctly) - but xterm _do_ have cut and paste. Left-button and drag to cut, middle-button (or both buttons if you have a two-button mouse) to paste.

Actually, you missed what was most valuable to me. The fact that RSA is getting their slice of the pie, so I don't have to worry about legal issues.

However, to work with common clients you need to use a cipher (RC2/RC4) which RSA claims patents on in the US. This means that to use it commercially within the US you need to have a license from RSA. With Stronghold, the vendor has put the Apache-SSL patches in and have obtained the required licensing to use it in the US. On top of this, they have done a bunch of other things that the freely available patches do not include..

Is this the version of the Adaptec driver included in 2.2.1-R? Or is there yet a newer version of the SCSI code with still more fixes? I've got one machine without any SCSI drives running 2.2.1-R, but I'm waiting to hear that Adaptec SCSI support is rock solid before using 2.2.X on a machine with SCSI drives. So far, I've seen complaints of problems with SCSI CD-ROMs, so I've held back. Is there a 2.2-STABLE branch yet? When is the next 2.2.X release likely to occur?

It's a complicated state engine. The Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD driver are all based on the same work (mine), so they have similar problems/features. Another thing that contributes to problems with the "free" drivers is that Adaptec doesn't give out engineering contacts to "little guys". >--Brett Glass -- Justin T.

Maybe you should contact their marketing department and note that, between Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, your work goes to a HUGE share of their market and an overwhelming s hare of the Internet world (since so many Web, news, and mail servers run these OSes).

So your network is basically: | | | | +--- Router X --+ | | | | | +--- Router Y --- The Internet | | | | Net A Net B You have routing between Net A and Net B via Router X. Now you want to route between Net A and the Internet. You must make certain that the *entire Internet* knows that Router Y is the route to Net A; this is typically done by your ISP. You must also make sure that Router Y knows that Router X is the route the Net A; if you can ping Router Y right now, this is already setup. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

During the install I can get to the point where it tries to log into the ftp server and it says that it can not open or connect.

There aren't any good software memory exercisers, unfortunately. Norton has a Diagnostics tool with a Burnin feature you can run for n times or until you tell it to stop.

Yes. You can use the provided CVS tree as a seed. Your first transfer will be big, to bring you from CD press to current, but after that it should drop off. > Will CVSup check each file on my local tree to see if files > need to be updated?

Unless you state otherwise, CVSup checks the indicated distributions for changes, and if there are any, it brings them up to sync with the server. Do remember that unlike sup, CVSup transfers diffs instead of full files, so the actual data transferred is rather small. That's why we went with cvsup in the first place. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 22 15:00:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA09153 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 15:00:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA09145 for ; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 15:00:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id PAA24407; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 15:00:28 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 22 Apr 1997 15:00:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: joe@cyber-wizard.com cc: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Dial-Up Internet Access In-Reply-To: <199704221102.HAA07067@marlin.exis.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 22 Apr 1997, Joseph Martin wrote: > I am currently using WinDoze 3.x and would like to switch over to > FreeBSD.

Unfortunatly shortly after I asked it became moot. Last week I had something kind of bad happen. I ran out of space on my / (root partition) -- I did not make it big enough the first time I installed and I have not had time to shuffle things around and repartition it. So what I decided to do, unwisely I might add, :-( is move some of the stuff out of / and onto my other drive (mounted on /pca) and then symbolic link to it. I did not really think this through quite as well as I should have and I now understand the error of my ways. This was not an issue until today when I rebooted. :-) My question is what now? When I try to reboot I get no init panic and then a reboot I was thinking of doing a system upgrade. I am running a gamma release right now. I have booted it from a floppy and I can see all the partitions in there. Nothing is mounted and I can not remember which partition mounts to which mount point.

It worked okay for me. I had a lot of input and output errors, although I think this was linked to the cable I was using.

You want to probably tweak CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX. I was unsure if this was a user hitting a by-uid limit on files, or if the actual system table for all file descriptors was being hit?

Make sure you do not omit any information in the network address entry screen. That will cause sysinstall to blow up in a hurry.

Make sure the ethernet card is found during the initial device probe. I think you can hit ALT-F2 on the main menu and it will list the network devices found. Or you can hit scroll-lock on the main screen and use the up arrow tosee the device probe messages. 2. Make sure the IP address used is unique. Two machines cannot have the same IP! 3. Make sure you fill in the nameserver's IP address. 4. Press ALT-F2 when you get the error message and look at the error messages reported.

Ok, thanks for the response. Any recommendations then for PCI-based cards? Is the 3C905 (10/100) card better at all? Or should I just stick with my trusty 3C509's? Or, perhaps, another manufacturer?

You will want to start with /bin, but download whatever you want to isntall. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. **WARNING!** Do **NOT** upgrade XFree86 at this time. The binary distributed with 2.2 is built for 3.0-CURRENT, which has longer usernames. It will corrupt your utmp file, which will cause w, who, and associated utils to give odd output. If you have dire need to upgrade, you will want to rebuild xdm and xterm, and probably the whole package, before using it. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk excerpt from FAQ: 7.7. FreeBSD 2.0 panics with ``kmem_map too small!'' Note The message may also be ``mb_map too small!'' The panic indicates that the system ran out of virtual memory for network buffers (specifically, mbuf clusters). You can increase the amount of VM available for mbuf clusters by adding: options "NMBCLUSTERS=" Question: Does the above kernel config option work with 2.1.7? If not, what's the equivelant configuration option for 2.1.7? I need to increase mbufs. (I run irc.phoenix.net on EFnet and regularly have more than 1500 clients connected to the server daemon) Also, I get a warning that maxusers is set higher than 64.

If you can boot from floppy (I'm assuming install floppy) and see your partitions you should be able to mount them. If you have record of the files you moved you can initiate the fixit floppy and them back. I did something as serious before and recovered quite nicely this way. I'm sure this will help. _______________________________________ |\ /| | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.

I was discussing this with some people last night; we know that Justin and the other 2940 driver authors aren't stupid, but similar SCSI drivers (like those for the NCR parts, f.e.) don't go through the same grief. We concluded that the Adaptec parts must be more of a bitch to work with, and/or harder to get accurate data on. Certainly some of their newer parts (eg. the aic7860) appear fairly braindead. > --Brett Glass -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

The Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B is supported quite well in FreeBSD; also any DE21x4x based cards (Kingston, SMC, Accton, Dayna, others) work very nicely. Is there a requirement for 100mbit? The EtherExpress is known to work at 100 megabit.

No requirement at this time, other than the fact that 10/100 cards have better pricing right now, and it'll allow me a better upgrade path at the point that I *DO* put parts of my system at 100Mbit.

Yes it is a cable connection. Since posting the first message, I got the FreeBSD system to work rather easily. It pings the other card and reports the cards address correctly. But, I cannot ping from the NT side. The NT machine has an ftp server running but I cannot ftp into it. ("permission denied") I think I must have messed up the NT install. It acts as though it doesn't know there is another machine out there. I think I'll scrap the idea and run FreeBSD and keep all the win/dos stuff on a partition. Do you have any coments about a Toshiba 4x CDROM on an atapi IDE interface? Or a Soundblaster 16? I'm guessing these have a good chance of working with 2.2.1R I've ordered.

Thanks. :) I have a Dayna right now, which was originally destined for a Mac. Dayna normally makes ethernet adapters for Macs, but this is the first PCI card i've seen from them (the newer Macs have PCI slots). This card didn't work in that mac, so we tried my Kingston 10/100. They worked in both machines, so we agreed to trade for the duration. Needless to say, both parties were satisfied with the deal. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 22 23:08:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA09763 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 23:08:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from house.key.net.au (root@[203.35.4.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA09757 for ; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 23:08:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (andrew@localhost) by house.key.net.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA15144 for ; Wed, 23 Apr 1997 16:08:45 +1000 (EST) Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 16:08:45 +1000 (EST) From: Andrew To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Legato Networker Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Has anyone had any success backing up a FreeBSd box (2.2.1) to a Solaris box using Legato Networker?

Also, it is set to probe at irq4, port 0x3e8, which is the setting I use under Windows, which works OK there. I think these settings worked OK under 2.1.5-RELEASE. Maybe there is a bug, or maybe I need to set the flags. If the flags need set, what would be a good set of guidelines to go by? I'm still confused after reading the docs. It is a Wang 14.4 Data Fax Modem (Hayes Compatible). One good thing to have is a way to probe some devices without recompiling the kernel entirely. This might be accomplished by writing some test code (with main() fuction) and linking with the sio device driver, or something like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My service provider says that a script is not necessary; the PAP takes care of everything. Any suggestions on how to handle the ppp.linkup & ppp.conf files when using PAP would be appreciated. Also, was kind of vague on how to set-up the /etc/hosts file when using dynamically allocated IP. The handbook says to configure the machine like this with static IP: 10.0.0.1 foo.bar.com foo where foo.bar.com is the machine name. In the case of dynamice IP, there would be no way of knowing what address to put in place of '10.0.0.1'. I'm guessing that maybe the service provider's IP itself, or a 'dummy' address in the case of dynamic IP. My service provider uses a dynamically allocated gateway IP address. Does this require special handling? Finally, how to set up ppp.secret. I know this is where the password goes for the pmdemand, and there is a ppp.secret.sample, but didn't quite know which IP address to put there. I think it had a line like 10.0.0.1/23 - was confused by the addition of the / followed by the two-digit number. Is it possible to use an encryption program to put a 'crypt'ed password in there? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

But when I use pppd Netscape won't start up. When I start Netscape before pppd, Netscape will start. The FreeBSD machine which is connected to the network has a program which I want to start from my FreeBSD machine using Netscape. But when I fill in the correct path in URL format in my location box of Netscape, Netscape will not load that program. If have also a Windows NT version stored on a hardisk and when I do the samething on my Windows NT machine (connect to that Windows NT machine and use Microsoft Explorer to start that program it still works. What do I wrong, can anybody help me ??

I downloaded it from the website and installed it, and It seemed to work fine. It even runs, or looks like it runs properly. But when I try to connect to it from the arcserve server running on a novell server it prompts me for a user name and password, I give it a valid username/password and it gives me some sort of error message. I looked in the client's log file and all it lists is authentication errors (i.e. wrong password). If some one is doing this successfully please let me know how to get it working. The documentation included with the client is skimpy to say the least.

I have a FreeBSD machine set up as an inet gateway for several Win PC's. Currently I have: 10.0.0.1 Win #1 10.0.0.2 Win #2 . . 10.0.0.127 FreeBSD --> Internet (dedicated dialup, static IP) using ppp -alias Works great. Next I added a webserver. I installed Apache, it's working fine. I can access the server off the web using the dialup IP and DNS (the ISP assigns the dialup a name). Now the confusing part - I want to have my own domain name. My ISP will CNAME the domain name to the dialup connection. He has said I will then need to change the address of the FBSD machine to the IP of the domain name in order for the web to see my server. Of course, that's ALL he said and I can get little other help from him. Since it works now, shouldn't it still work? Will IP aliasing handle all that? As an extra what-if, if I want to use the domain-name as a mail address and the FBSD box as the mail server, will this work as well (assuming I configure sendmail properly)? Thanks for any help.

The user in the field carries a little computer the size of a credit card. When you attempt to go through the firewall, it sends you a challenge code. You punch the challenge code into your card, and it returns a second code. You send that second code back to the firewall and it allows you in. The nice thing about this system, is that the user doesn't know the hash key, so cannot give it out. Also, if challenge card is PIN protected, and turns itself off after a few minutes of non-use. If it is lost, it is unusable without the PIN. [RC] (The firewall I saw this on was a morningstar.

It is standard with FreeBSD and with the TIS Firewall Toolkit. No additional cost pleased me :-) Carrying around the sheet of paper with the keys in one's wallet is somewhat inconvenient, but the price is right. man skey and you're on your way.

The Flag entry seems to have this purpose. I'm guessing that you can set a flag in the (boot system with -c) kernel config screen, to allow for probing. (IE:set the flag value to 1 in the visual config.) (I'm basing this info on the LINT file for my 2.2Gamma system.) [RC] >>> Michael Alwan 04/22/97 09:12pm >>> To all: Before I start moving cables around, I wonder if anyone has a short answer for this question: I configured my kernel aka the instructions in the FAQ (release 2.2.1) for my ole' iomega qic-80 floppy tape drive--in fact, I tried several configurations. No sign that the drive is or isn't being recognized at bootup. The same thing (doesn't) happen with the 2.2.1 boot.flp. As far as I know, the qic-80 drive is connected in the usual way to fdc0 via a tee-cable. It works fine in MS Windows. Appended is my kernel configuration file and demsg output--note that I have only one 3.5 in. floppy, and I have tried designating the tape drive as both "drive 1" and "drive 2." For no good reason, I stripped all unused devices from the config file instead of just commenting them out--this is really my complete kernel configuration file, named ALWANKERNEL. Any help would be appreciated!--didn't see anything quite relevant in the archives. This is the second time I've posted this message to questions@freebsd.org--if no one knows the answer, my apologies for the repost. It occurs to me, maybe the tape drive isn't detected as a device at boot-up, or maybe it should be configured as drive 2 on the fdc0 controller, since I only have one floppy drive. Trying to mount the tape drive (mount /dev/ft0 /mnt) gives me a "device not configured" message. I've made the device in /dev.

Since sysinstall was the one who decided to put my partition on wd1s4, I'd think this is the case.

Many internal modems are known to have a poor UART emulation. You can try to spot the problem by turning on flags 0x80 in the sio2 driver (using boot -c), this will report the failing probe routine. Then, look into /sys/i386/isa/sio.c, maybe you can tweak some DELAY() value to give your UART emulation a little more time to react. -- 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 Wed Apr 23 12:20:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA18027 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 23 Apr 1997 12:20:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ns2.win.net (ns2.win.net [204.215.209.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA18022 for ; Wed, 23 Apr 1997 12:20:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Planet_Ocean@profitmaster.com Received: (from nobody@localhost) by ns2.win.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) id OAA02829 for ; Wed, 23 Apr 1997 14:34:48 -0400 Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 14:34:48 -0400 Message-Id: <199704231834.OAA02829@ns2.win.net> Received: from pm0-19.ilhawaii.net(204.188.87.28) by ns2.win.net via smap (V1.3) id sman20175; Wed Apr 23 14:34:17 1997 X-Sender: Planet_Ocean@profitmaster.com (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Your website's "Findability" -- Search Engine Help Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Would you like to improve your website's "findability" in the Search Engines?

My name is Stephen Mahaney. I am the president of Planet Ocean Communications. My web marketing company has literally "written the book" on how to position your website on the front page -- the Top Ten -- of each of the major search engines... guaranteed! Our 45 page book identifies every trick & technique that is being used on the Internet to gain an almost "unfair" advantage in landing websites at the top of the search engine lists -- right where you need to be so that potential customers who are seeking your services or products can find you. Our monthly Newsletter keeps you abreast of the latest techniques and frequent changes that take place in the dynamic world of "search engine" science. However, understanding the process does not require a degree in "rocket" science -- nor do you need to be "technically oriented". Whether your website is a "do-it-yourself" project or you are paying someone to maintain your site, you (or your webmaster) need to know the tricks in this book in order to compete with the professionals who are dominating the front pages of the various search categories.

If not, you would need to create the BSD partition device files with something like: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV wd1s3h to create the a-h partition files fo wd1s3*. Then, the disklabel command can go like this: % disklabel wd0s4e # /dev/rwd0s4e: type: ESDI disk: wd0s4 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 128 sectors/cylinder: 8064 cylinders: 52 sectors/unit: 419328 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 71680 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 8*) c: 419328 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 51) e: 347648 71680 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 8*- 51*) which shows that my wd0s4 has an "a" and an "e" partition. Hmmm...found disk space! I don't seem to have that "a" partition in my /etc/fstab file any more...have to check into THAT! Aha! It looks like wd0s4 is apparently the same as my wd0 (being the first BSD slice on my boot disk). Shouldn't the system have just prevented me from doing fsck on /dev/rwd0s4a while /dev/wd0a was mounted? (it let me do it).

I copied GENERIC into a file named CUSTOM. Next I edited CUSTOM by commenting out certain optional lines. I ran "make depend" just fine. However, "make" bombs. I have the following error message: aha1542.o: More undefined symbol _scsi_uto3b follow That line is followed by several lines complaining of undefined symbols referenced from text segment. Here's an example: aic7xxx.o: Undefined symbol `_scsu_alloc_bus` referemced from text segment Finally we get: *** Error Code 1 Stop. I've compared CUSTOM to GENERIC and I don't see any differences other than the commenting out of optional lines. I went through the process of re-compiling GENERIC and that operation was successful. That would seem to indicate a defect with CUSTOM. If anyone has any idea what that defect might be, I'd sure love to hear it.

A "bus error" (actually SIGBUS) occurs whenever a program attempts to write to an area of memory that is protected read-only.

I'm trying to connect a localnet to the Internet via PPP. Symptoms: (1) When dialing in with ppp -auto -alias, the connection is made, there's some activity on the line, and then the connection drops. It does try to come up properly when some network activity is initiated by the system, but the connection keeps dropping, and it eventually times out. (2) When dialing in with ppp and doing it manually, it connects properly and stays up, but won't let me ping anything, even when I try to add the routes by hand. Help? Another thing: I want to be able to nameserve the local net without assuming responsibility for the rest of the ISP's machines. Is this doable? Relevant hardware: 200MHz Pentium with 64MB Adaptec 2940 SupraFAXmodem V.32bis on COM1 (/dev/cuaa1) Relevant software: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE Relevant hosts: ralf (the FreeBSD system): 207.207.72.1 eddie (a WinNT system): 207.207.72.2 questor (a Mac 8500): 207.207.72.3 ISP: ServNet. They have dialin lines that route to one of four potential routes. We'll call these 205.153.153.a, .b, .c, and .d. I have no idea which one I'm gonna hit when I dial in.

Ack..if you include the 55MB swap space, yes. My DOS extended partition should only be 500MB..it was 1000, but I resized it. My guess is something has restored my old DOS partition tables to what they were and overwritten the old partition I had on wd1s4. Okay, I'll have to redo the changes then.

There is another POP3 server as part of the mail/imap-uw port - I personally like the Qualcomm popper better (there has been fewer security holes in it), but both have worked.

You may simply need to change some setting in the device driver DOS loads in its config.sys. Look there for what seems to be an I/O port address and an IRQ number and try changing that to reflect the controller the CD is now connected to.

News group in my company is shut down because of the virus so i can't post there. Here are my questions: I am using a PCI-base 586 with aha2940W/UW controller. I have 2 SCSI disks @ target ID 0 and 1. The TID=0 is WIN95 and Linux, the TID=1 is FreeBSD-2.1.7. The Linux kernel is compiled with UFS file system option but i can't get the directory of the BSD disk once i mounted it. This is the command "mount -t ufs /dev/sdb1 /mnt" and the messages printed is "Fucking SUN blows me" and something about too many inodes and such but it still mounted. Once mounted, command ls does not show any thing and can't be unmount. Have i done something wrong? and how do i go about getting Linux's LILO to boot BSD as well besides WIN95? Please reply to me via email.

He's going to send me the diff's if he's successful. I also had some success getting Inria's stack for FreeBSD 2.1.0 to compile on 2.1.6 with minimal effort. I didn't had a good way to test it since it was on my machine at home which didn't have an ethernet card in it at the time. I'm currently running FreeBSD 2.2 and am not aware of any IPv6 code available for it. I would like to work on porting one of the BSD 4.4 stacks to FreeBSD 2.2 but don't think I'll have much time to dedicate to the effort in the foreseeable future. I'm getting Frame Relay to my house in the next couple of weeks and will have Cisco's IPv6 stack running with a 6Bone feed to my home router when the FR link comes up. That should facilitate any porting efforts I undertake. I'll let you know as I hear more. - Doug +--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ | Douglas A.

The install went smoothly and the system boots fine and recognizes all the hardware for which I have the kernel configured. Shortly after it finishes booting (and not coincident with any other event I can think of) the system stops responding to all keyboard input, just as if the keyboard had been unplugged. I can still login across the network and everything else seems healthy. I can echo something to /dev/ttyv0 and it shows up there, and I can kill the process at that terminal and init spawns a new getty just fine. The same problem existed before I switched from the GENERIC kernel to one that I customized to my machine. I have included the output of dmesg below in case it would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy. --------------------------- You should also check out http://www.dejanews.com/forms/dnsetfilter.html For the news groups, enter in comp.unix.bsd.free*,muc.lists.freebsd* For the terms, enter in 2.2* upgrade 2.1* and you will get a slew of pointers.... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) * From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 24 16:12:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA08294 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Apr 1997 16:12:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from seabass.progroup.com (catfish.progroup.com [206.24.122.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA08285 for ; Thu, 24 Apr 1997 16:12:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tuna.ProGroup.COM (tuna.progroup.com [206.24.122.5]) by seabass.progroup.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA08769; Thu, 24 Apr 1997 16:11:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: by tuna.ProGroup.COM (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id QAA09309; Thu, 24 Apr 1997 16:12:59 -0700 From: craig@tuna.progroup.com (Craig W.

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 got the Franz CD distribution of Allegro Common Lisp for Linux (it's FREE after all) and installed with no more than the usual fumbling about, including the interface to emacs (well, xemacs 19.15 actually). It seemed to run OK (I had already installed the Linux compatibility stuff). Then I tried to compile a simple file (one defun) and got a 'Bus error' and a core dump. A recent message on this forum revealed that 'Bus error' really means 'Attempt to modify read-only memory' (wouldn't that be a nicer message? or does 'Bus error' happen for other things too?) and gave me hope that perhaps it's just a minor bug. So I downloaded all the patches for Allegro 4.3 (the version on the CD) and attempted to run the script that rebuilds the Lisp binary image. This script blew up trying to compile a .c file, complaining about prototype mismatches in various include files having to do with networking. I found out how to manually recompile the file with some command line options that tell it to use the system routines (presumably the ones in the Linux compatibility libs) rather than roll its own. The script then bombs out trying to run ld to rebuild the library containing all the new .o files that comprise some of the patches. It complains that the first .o file it tries is neither an object file nor an archive. Whew. Is it possible to run the Linux ld to rebuild the library/archive? Or will that fail because the new .o file I cc'ed into existance is now a FreeBDS object rather than a Linux object? Is there any hope short of (shudder!) installing Linux? Has anyone got/even tried to get Allegro CL for Linux working under FreeBSD?

By exploiting this vulnerability, any local user can execute arbitrary programs as a privileged user. There is a possibility (with some old libraries) that the vulnerability can be exploited by a remote user. Exploitation information is publicly available. The CERT/CC team recommends installing patches when they become available. We will update this advisory as we receive additional information. Please check advisory files regularly for updates that relate to your site. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description A buffer overflow condition affects libraries using the Natural Language Service (NLS). The NLS is the component of UNIX systems that provides facilities for customizing the natural language formatting for the system. Examples of the types of characteristics that can be set are language, monetary symbols and delimiters, numeric delimiters, and time formats. Some libraries that use a particular environment variable associated with the NLS contain a vulnerability in which a buffer overflow condition can be triggered. The particular environment variable involved is NLSPATH on some systems and PATH_LOCALE on others. It is possible to exploit this vulnerability to attain unauthorized access by supplying carefully crafted arguments to programs that are owned by a privileged user-id and that have setuid or setgid bits set. Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly available. II. Impact Local users (users with access to an account on the system) are able to execute arbitrary programs as a privileged user without authorization. There is a possibility (with some old libraries) that the vulnerability can be exploited by a remote user. III. Solution Install a patch for this problem when one becomes available. Currently, there is no workaround to use in the meantime. Below is a list of vendors who have provided information about this problem. Details are in Appendix A of this advisory; we will update the appendix as we receive more information. If your vendor's name is not on this list, the CERT/CC did not hear from that vendor. Please contact your vendor directly. Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDI) Cray Research - A Silicon Graphics Company Data General Corporation Digital Equipment Corporation Hewlett-Packard Company IBM Corporation Linux Systems NEC Corporation NeXT/Apple The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) Solbourne Sun Microsystems, Inc. ........................................................................... Appendix A - Vendor Information Below is a list of the vendors who have provided information for this advisory. We will update this appendix as we receive additional information. If you do not see your vendor's name, the CERT/CC did not hear from that vendor. Please contact the vendor directly. Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDI) ===================================== No versions of BSD/OS are vulnerable to this problem. Cray Research - A Silicon Graphics Company ========================================== We're investigating. Data General Corporation ======================== We're investigating. Digital Equipment Corporation ============================= SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation Software Security Response Team Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1997. All rights reserved. This reported problem is not present for Digital's ULTRIX or Digital UNIX Operating Systems Software. Hewlett-Packard Company ======================= Investigation in process, results -to date- indicate HP not vulnerable. This advisory will be updated when investigation is complete. IBM Corporation =============== All AIX releases are vulnerable to a variation of this advisory. AIX 3.2.5 --------- Apply the following fix to your system: PTFs - U447656 U447671 U447676 U447682 U447705 U447723 (APAR IX67405) To determine if you have these PTFs on your system, run the following command: lslpp -lB U447656 U447671 U447676 U447682 U447705 U447723 AIX 4.1 ------- Apply the following fix to your system: APAR - IX67407 To determine if you have this APAR on your system, run the following command: instfix -ik IX67407 Or run the following command: lslpp -h bos.rte.libc Your version of bos.rte.libc should be 4.1.5.7 or later. AIX 4.2 ------- Apply the following fixes to your system: APAR - IX67377 IX65693 To determine if you have these APARs on your system, run the following command: instfix -ik IX67377 IX65693 Or run the following command: lslpp -h bos.rte.libc Your version of bos.rte.libc should be 4.2.0.11 or later. (APAR IX65693 fixes a problem with the mkgroup command after IX67377 is applied.) To Order -------- APARs may be ordered using Electronic Fix Distribution (via FixDist) or from the IBM Support Center.

IBM and AIX are registered trademarks of International Business Machines Corporation. Linux Systems ============= Linux systems running older C libraries are vulnerable. To check which C library is being used type linux% ldd /bin/ls libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 This indicates the machine is using libc 5.3.12. C libraries older than 5.3.12 (that is libc5.2.18, libc5.0.9 etc) are vulnerable to this bug and you should upgrade the C library. The release versions of libc 5.4.x are immune to this attack. If you have libc5.3.12 it is insecure unless it is the modified libc5.3.12 shipped with Red Hat 4.1, or as an upgrade on Red Hat 4.0. You can check this with the package manager: linux# rpm -q libc libc-5.3.12-17 Indicates you have version 17 of the package. This is the safe one. Red Hat 4.0 users who have not already upgraded their libc can obtain this package at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/old-releases/redhat-4.0/updates/. NEC Corporation =============== NEC platforms are not affected by this vulnerability. NeXT/Apple ========== No versions of NeXTstep of OpenStep/Mach are vulnerable to this problem. The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) ============================= We are investigating this problem and will provide updated information for this advisory when it becomes available. Solbourne ========= Solbourne is not vulnerable. Sun Microsystems, Inc. ====================== Not vulnerable. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center staff thanks Wolfgang Ley of DFN-CERT for his input to this advisory. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact the CERT Coordination Center or your representative in the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (see http://www.first.org/team-info).

I am using a 486dx/66 system running 24MB and using a Supra external 28.8k modem connect to com1. I have gone through all the http docs I could find and have set things up accordingly, including the modem itself. The problem I seem to have is that the kernel is not executing 'login' to the remote user. The system connects.. and if left to its own.. will stay connected at 28.8k. The modem is dectecting carrier but the host is not executing the login proceedures to the client so all the client sees is a blank screen. Any ideas as to what I have done wrong?

When any government, or any people subjects that "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives, might little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free.

How are you connected to the Internet / ISP ? For instance, ppp? Do you have FreeBSDinstalled and working on this system of yours? Can you ping someone ? ( My favourite question :) ) The Internet server is easy. It already is an internet server, provided that you can conect to the internet successfully. To have a web server, you have to install apache. To have anonymous ftp, see man ftpd. For a gateway/router, you have to edit /etc/sysconfig and set the options accordingly. See man sysconfig and man routed. You'll probably want to set the pc up as a nameserver as well, so see man named and sysconfig. If you want more help, you'll have to give more details.

I got a new Adaptec 2940U. Pulled the 1542B, put in the 2940. And booted Win95. It saw the hardware and installed the driver. No problems.

We are now starting to move our servers from Linux to FBSD. We have 2 networks, one Unix based for the Internet '194.207.68-69 real ip numbers', the other Novel based '194.168 pvt network ip numbers'. The 194.168 network is blocked on our routers to disable access from the Internet. We use muticasting on a Linux box so that users on the Novel network can still browse the web and ftp. There is a Linux how-to that shows you how to set these things up. Is there something similar for FBSD? ---Internet--[routers] | | [Our Network] ----- [multi-cast box/ real ip no's router/firewall] | | [private network] 194.168 no's The faq just shows: "9.14. How do I enable IP multicast support? Multicast host operations are fully supported in FreeBSD 2.0 by default. If you want your box to run as a multicast router, you will need to load the ip_mroute_mod loadable kernel module and run mrouted." which doesn't tell you how to load the modules or give a basic config example :( Regards, Anthony From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 25 07:47:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA19840 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 25 Apr 1997 07:47:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay.request.net (relay.request.net [206.151.75.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA19833 for ; Fri, 25 Apr 1997 07:47:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from g1.cabl.com ([208.3.157.221]) by relay.request.net with ESMTP id <2148774-29255>; Fri, 25 Apr 1997 10:47:18 -0400 Message-ID: <3360C3AE.5D49DEEC@goldcominc.com> Date: Fri, 25 Apr 1997 10:46:06 -0400 From: Rick Goldeck Organization: GoldCom Inc.

You need to implement NAT (network address translation) or install proxies. I have a hunch that NAT is what you were using with Linux. IP Filter can do both NAT and transparent proxies, see http://cheops.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html Also, take a look at RFC 1918. There are IP address ranges reserved for what you are doing (192.168 fits for you). If you use these addresses you don't need to worry about your "private" addresses leaking. While you are there (RFC repository) take a look at RFC 1919, all about transparent proxies.

I take it you're not on the pilot-unix mailing list? two-way syncronization still isn't here, but great progress is being made.

When I mount the wd1s1 (drive D:) and issue ls -l /mnt/packages/all to see the list of directory, I saw the index file (lower case), but when I tried to install the mstools_3.0 packages by issuing the command, such as: /stand/sysinstall and chose the configure (Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD) and followed with packages and media option, I got the ERROR message, such as: Unable to get packages/INDEX (INDEX in upper case). I copied the index file to MYINDEX -- using cp command and deleted index re-copied back MYINDEX to INDEX, but the file name index still remains in lower case. Do you have any suggestion?

According to this simple program: #include #include main() { time_t endEpoch = (time_t) 0x7fffffff; printf("Time ends at %s", ctime(&endEpoch)); } Time ends at Mon Jan 18 20:14:07 2038.

I created a boot floppy by `dd'ing' from the floppies directory onto /dev/rfd0. This boot floppy appears to work on an old 33MHZ 486, and a standard Pentium-based PC. However, disappointingly, it fails on my laptop computer, which is the one I wanted to upgrade to FreeBSD 2.2.1 for the PCMCIA support. (I am currently running 2.1.5 on these machines.) My machine is a 100MHZ Pentium, Compaq Armada 1125. I get into the installation package just fine, but several of the options cause the computer to totally lock and become catatonic, requiring a power cycle to reboot. The `Distribution' selection option causes the machine to hang, as does the Description of FreeBSD option under Documents. Would it be possible to use the old 2.1.5 Intallation boot floppy, but install the 2.2.1 system? (I'm not sure it would be wise to try to upgrade my laptop to 2.2.1 if the kernel and install program consistently cause the machine to crash. However, for curiousity I might back everything up and try it.) I carefully disabled all the devices that the machine does not have. I guess the way to view this message is that at least one person out there in userland tried to install 2.2.1 and it crashed and burned. I've installed FreeBSD several times before, and this is the first time I've had problems like this.

If it is 2.2.1 then I recommend: First remake your boot.flp - your problem could be here. You may want to try installinging the binaries first, do your post configure and then boot the new system. If this fails, consider floppy install. * Remember to format your floppies with whatever you are using for file copy and to create a \bin directory on each floppy. (15 1.44MB floppies) Login, su to root, and /stand/sysinstall and enter post install and add the distributions that you want. Good luck. _______________________________________ |\ /| | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.

Your problem is that there is still SCSI and PCI code left that is compiled into the kernel. Use the LINT file to find and remove ANY SCSI and PCI devices out of your MYKERNEL file.

This works great except for one problem. I do have a static IP but not a static router IP. So if I leave the setting like this: set ifaddr 204.157.146.220 204.157.146.83 255.255.255.255 It allows me to use the -ddial option. However the 204.157.146.83 (HISSADDR) number shifts between three different IPS. But if I leave that number at 0.0.0.0 or simply 0, I cannot use -ddial because it claims that -ddial and -auto can only be used when a dest. address is provided. How can I use both 0.0.0.0 for HISADDR and still be able to use -ddial. I am using FBSD 2.1.7 locally for this dialup. Any ideas or clues would be greatly apprecited. Thanks.

I have installed 3.0-current with the exception of the XFree86 distribution which refuses to cooperate. My initial installation attempt was from a DOS partition-- everything went fine but XFree86 could not be located (I'm guessing because it wasn't installed) My several FTP attempts also failed. I tried the Primary site along with each US site -- no go. At this point I already had everything installed except XFree, so I was attempting a 'custom' installation, choosing only the XFree distribution and trying to get the installation program to perform the 'extraction' step. I select the XFree86 distribution, choose DOS Partition, (or FTP, or existing freebsd filesystem) and choose 'extract'. A box flashes momentarily saying something like 'attempting to extract and install selected distributions', but it instantly dumps me back to the installation menu without extracting anything. I downloaded the directory XF86312S (from FreeBSD/XFree86/3.0-current/) and have untarred it into my /usr dir. I have also tried using the 'install from an existing filesystem' option and still XFree resists my efforts. I now have XFree86 on DOS partition and in my /usr directory. Can anyone tell me how it can be installed from here? Does anyone know the path that the installation program uses when it looks for XFree? (From DOS partition) Is there a better way to approach this?

I saved /etc/ and /etc/ppp before I upgraded and restored /etc/ppp so ppp.conf and ppp.linkup are setup correctly. I also checked/updated [host.conf (for hosts,bind), resolv.conf and /etc/hosts]. I have a /dev/tun0 (I assume it is correct) and I am using the kernel that the boot floppy installed (I turned off most of the isa cards - maybe I turned off something else I wasn't suppose to? or misconfigured one of the /etc files). (i have 2.0's /etc on disk and the rest of 2.0 on tape) Anyways ping and traceroute fail to leave the local machine - i guess something could be wrong in one of the config files or in sysconfig (named is set to no but i keep thinking one of the if_networks is relevant to my problem). I don't know what to look for with netstat or show route (under ppp) to find the problem. I am using/have been assigned static ip. I would paste the exact logs (show log under ppp) but er I can't get ppp to work to upload them. Anyways the connection gets established, my addr is correct and hisaddr is correct. I keep thinking there is something with regards to networks I need to turn on but the last time I did this (under 2.0) was 2 years ago.

I don't think so. You can run BSDI binaries on FreeBSD but not the other way around. However, if you develop programs on FreeBSD you should be able to recompile them on BSDI with little or no source code changes.

FreeBSD is a UNIX and not designed for user-friendliness (apart from the saying that UNIX _is_ user-friendly, it just knows who it's friends are! ;) But, compared to Linux, I can say that there is quite little "mess" a newbie has to dig through in FreeBSD as there are many simple rules that help you find config files and do setup tasks more easily. And -- after all there is this list (freebsd-questions@freebsd.org) that will help you when you get hopelessly lost. So what I mean is that if you want to start using UNIX FreeBSD is the system to go for. But be prepared to be faced with a lot more "options" than Windows95 has, and be prepared to set them all right! Then you soon won't need your Windows95 partition and you'll be able to use a new 'slice' for your FreeBSD. ;) c u Jo On 26-Apr-97 at 15:47:06 michael dan wolfe wrote: > >i'm inquiring because i run win95 and believe that FreeBSD is more stable, >and in some cases easier to use (once it's properties are known) it also >has many more options, the only problem is, i know nothing about UNIX.  >would this OS still be a good choice for me at this time, or should i read >up on and work with UNIX before i try to use FreeBSD (along with win95 >on a dual boot) >

A personal history: When everybody else around me was buying Apple][ machines and playing games and Visicalc, I bought an Intel SDK86 single-board trainer. The most complex game I had was Lunar Lander, but, I learned enough from the assembly language and hardware experience to start getting salary jobs (equivalent to an EE level) programming distributed microcontrollers for cruise missile assembly lines. FreeBSD is the same kind of learning tool; the comparison is apt. -- 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 Sat Apr 26 15:25:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA13372 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 15:25:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost.zilker.net (ivydp3.zilker.net [206.225.46.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA13367 for ; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 15:25:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from marquard@localhost) by localhost.zilker.net (8.8.3/8.8.3) id RAA00718; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 17:24:54 -0500 (CDT) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: IPv6 kernel for freebsd?

RTFM is an easy answer, but ah, the NAME of the FM to R, that is the hard part! So, I'm half way there. My real desire is to be able to take files in arbitrary formats, such as tar, tar.gz, cpio, or .bkp. With a driver for each format, pseudo-device vn should allow me to mount any of these. Mounting RW may be difficult for some, but RO should be fairly simple. > Gabor > Chuck Bacon - crtb@capecod.net ABHOR SECRECY -- PROTECT PRIVACY From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 26 16:08:44 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA15701 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 16:08:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kremvax.demos.su (kremvax.demos.su [194.87.0.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA15696 for ; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 16:08:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: by kremvax.demos.su (8.6.13/D) from root@localhost for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org id DAA19182; Sun, 27 Apr 1997 03:07:44 +0400 Received: from ozz by techsz.msk.ru with ESMTP id CAA00411; (8.6.12/vak/1.9) Sun, 27 Apr 1997 02:45:49 +0400 Message-Id: <199704262245.CAA00411@techsz.msk.ru> Reply-To: From: "Ozz" To: "FreeBSD Questions" Subject: Problem with FreeBSD's PPP-server Date: Sun, 27 Apr 1997 02:49:25 +0400 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk My FreeBSD good work like SLIP-server.

I installed 2.1.6-RELEASE from a Walnut Creek CD and found a weird bug. I cannot play the first track on an audio CD with cdplay. I can "play 2", "play 3" etc but when I say "play 1" the LED on the CD drive just blinks and nothing happens. Everything used to work fine on 2.1.0. The drive still works fine under OS/2 Warp, so it does not seem to be a hardware problem. I have already asked this question here and got no reply. If someone is still using 2.1.6 and cdplay works for you please drop me a note. Also, perhaps I can just take some code from 2.2.1 and recompile the kernel to fix my problem? A complete upgrade is out of the question at the moment and I am not sure if it would help anyway :-( I would appreciate any input. -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 26 23:28:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA00215 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 23:28:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kevin.sunshine.net ([204.191.205.83]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA00210 for ; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 23:28:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (cagey@localhost) by kevin.sunshine.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA00174; Sat, 26 Apr 1997 23:24:29 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 23:24:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Kevin Eliuk Reply-To: Kevin Eliuk To: tuc@stormking.com cc: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Re: installing freebsd In-Reply-To: <199704270303.XAA00442@tucslap.stormking.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 26 Apr 1997, Scott J.
