That's why I thought the question worthy of post to freebsd-mobile and freebsd-stable as well. The question remains. When the CDROM is attached, it moves the disk from /dev/wd0 to /dev/wd1 and inserts itself as /dev/wd0, fouling up /etc/fstab and causing a panic.

This is on -current, the package is from the 2.2.1 CD. I checked out the corresponding port and rebuilt the xview-package, and everthing worked fine. So do a cd /usr/ports/x11/xview-lib and make all . Recompiling the xview library may take an hour or so. Then delete your already installed faulty xview packages. (pkg_delete xview-config-3.2.1 and pkg_delete xview-lib-3.2.1) and finally do a make install, and restart your application. If this works please let me know, we should fill out a send-pr sheet.

The reason perl5 didn't replace the /usr/bin/perl binary is because that's what /usr/local/bin is for - that's where binaries that are not part of the base OS go. On the other hand, I've found very little reason to use perl4. What I usually do is rename /usr/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl4 (just in case) and then make /usr/bin/perl a symlink to the binary in /usr/local/bin. Most scripts should not notice the difference, though there are exceptions. If you see a sctipt complaining about @ requiring a \, or some other perl5 backward incompatibility, just change it to use perl4. One thing to note if you do take this approach: When upgrading, the upgrade procedure will overwrite your symlink in /usr/bin with a new perl4 binary, so this procedure must be repeated each time you upgrade the OS.

Normally this shouldn't be a problem (assuming of course you use shutdown or halt, and not just brutaly shut the computer off). There are reports of problems shutting down (especially 2.1.x systems) when X is running and /tmp is on a MFS file system. The symptoms being that the disk buffers do not get flushed (at the console you'll see something like: 4 4 4 .... 4 giving up).

Which gs driver and resolution do you use for your printer ? Please enable debugging in /usr/local/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter by uncommenting set -x. After that you print something and look at the putput of the logfile (the path you can lookup in /etc/printcap, lf=...). Then look, what conversion is done and how ghostscript is called. I suggest, that you try to use the same commands on the commandline, to see, how long it takes for the ghostscript process, to create the print data ... If you redirect the output of ghostscript to a file, then you'll get the additional information, how big the print job really is. This file you can print by using "cat file > /dev/your_print_device. Maybe apsfilter uses the wrong resolution for the printer ??? So that the printer works in a not so suitable resolution ??? Then one could try to tweak resolution in /etc/apsfilterrc ... But possibly you only have a hardware configuration error. How many LPT devices do you have ? Might there be an interrupt conflict with another device ?

Converter to plain text! You're quite right that an ascii-format copy of the handbook is needed. Instructions to generate a handbook in ascii are actually back in the source tree, though, and have been for some months. So the problem really applies only to some already-released versions of FreeBSD. If anyone wants an ascii copy, I don't mind generating one from the sgml sources and sending it along (specify version required).

Excuse me ? There are several versions of the handbook (& the FAQ). I'm *obviously* talking about the .latin1 version. The .latin1 version is just ascii with overstrikes. You're obviously talking about the postscript one. If you want to do something with that, get a copy of ghostscript. It builds on lots of platforms.

It will probably be of great help. Second, the boot.flp is not meant to be copied onto a floppy, but is a complete floppy image. Use fdimage or rawrite (from the /tools) directory to put it on a floppy. As for your hard disk, you'll have to repartition. The fips utility that comes with FreeBSD can do this for you (assuming that your Win95 installation uses FAT and not FAT32), or you may purchase the excellent (IMHO) commercial utility called PartitionMagic (http://www.partition.com). You are strongly advised to read the installation docs on the CD, web etc. They *will* answer most, if not all, of your questions.

Try to switch to your system console by pressing , login there and change your /etc/ttys. If that does not work, boot in single user mode and enter a mount -a on the command line. This should give you the editor in /usr/bin and the write permissions in / . If you still cannot write in the root partition, do a mount -w -u /.

So my answer is simple, you did have your dos d: drive backed up, didn't you? Seriously, if you instructed the FreeBSD installation to wipe out your dos partition on your d: drive, its gone.

If you want to install fbsd on it, delete it from dos, then do the fbsd install.

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.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk While looking through the handbook for info about CVSUP, I came across three "tutorials" on IP aliasing (one in the Handbook, one in the FAQ, and one in the "Tutorials"). All three basically suggested IP aliasing to the Ethernet card, using netmask 255.255.255.255 and adding route commands to route the aliased IP to the loopback device. However, for several years now I've been aliasing IP's to the loopback device directly, and using arp commands to distribute the aliased IP to routing daemons in the subnet if necessary. So, why is aliasing to the ethernet device preferable to aliasing to lo0? Or more accurately stated...what's the difference and why would one choose method A over method B?

Why does .ascii have non-ascii characters. A diff between .latin1 and .ascii says that only the '-' at the end of lines is missing in the .ascii version :( Surely .latin1 should have the overstrikes and .ascii shouldn't ?

Starting from the tty's is not a good idea. If you don't believe me, this is from the FAQ #6.17 : 6.17. How do I start XDM from the /etc/ttys file ? Starting xdm via /etc/ttys is a Bad Thing. I don't know why this crept into some README file. Start it from your rc.local, and be explicit about how it has to start. If this is your last action in rc.local, put a ``sleep 1'' behind, to allow xdm to properly daemonize before the rc shell exits. xdm should be started without any arguments (i.e., as a daemon). NOTE: A previos version of this FAQ told you to add the vt you want X to use to the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file. This is not necessary: X will use the first free vt it finds. pierre -- Pierre van Leeuwen E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 http://www.nanoteq.co.za From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 23 01:21:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA21337 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 01:21:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za (pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za [163.195.219.103]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA21308 for ; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 01:21:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za (localhost.nanoteq.co.za [127.0.0.1]) by pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA00635; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 10:18:35 +0200 (SAT) Message-Id: <199706230818.KAA00635@pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za> To: Jeff Tollison cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: fortune In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 23 Jun 1997 01:17:44 EST."

It is very stable and can be used for various applications including anything you can do with Windows plus much much more :) And it is free !!!!

I have an ATAPI CD ROM and it took me forever to find out how to get it to work with FreeBSD. My CD ROM is connected to my IDE controller card. I think what I had to do was configure the CD ROM to be the secondary master (its just a jumper change on the CD ROM drive--look in your manual).

It sounds like you need to install the xpm package. Start /stand/sysinstall and go to Configure/Packages and look for a package name that starts with xpm. Install it and then try to install your window manager again. THat should do it. > Last question is do you know how to use satellite to make > communication ?

Okay, lets get this straight: 1) ^H >>IS<< ASCII. 2) A underscore followed by a ^H, followed by a letter is a common idiom for creating underlining that originates in the days of typewriters and teletypes. The idiom is widely, but not universally supported. 3) Simlarly, a letter followed by a ^H, followed by the same letter is a common idiom for creating boldface. 4) The non-HTML renditions of the handbook/FAQ come from groff which uses these idioms for underlining and boldface. This ^H debate has >>nothing<< to do with SGML. 5) The difference between the .ascii and .latin1 generated by sgmlfmt(1) is that the former uses only 7-bit codes, while the latter uses ISO 8859-1 encoding for characters above 128. The differences show up in a few of our authors names that use diacritics, bulleted lists have bullets instead of lower case o, automatic hyphenation uses a soft-hyphen (AD) rather than a regular hyphen*, and probabaly some other odds and ends. 6) If the ^H is missing from a downloaded file, chances are it got stripped rogue software. Claims were made that this did indeed happen, but I don't believe the details of the software used were mentioned--these are essential things to provide with any bug report. 7) col -b is the most reliable way to undo the underline/boldface that groff does, but it will not work if the ^H characters got eaten in transit. 8) Earlier versions of sgmlfmt(1) sent all groff output through col -b by default. If there is a consensus that this would be better, it is trivial to change. ...and now back to your regularly scheduled broadcast... -john * This could be considered a bug because there is little agreement on the correct handling of the character.

What happens is, first the host name is resolved into a IP address by the client, and then the client connects to the address. There is no way for the server to figure out what DNS name was used to connect, just the address. You'll have to use the alias option of ifconfig to assign a network card several IP addresses, and then bind each address to a specific hostname, and then set up Apache with Virtual Host directives for each address. The ifconfig command to add an alias is ifconfig ed? inet 200.100.100.5 netmask 0xffffffff alias I hope this helps a bit.

I believe that the FTP standard states that ASCII mode is for text files that are a series of non-control characters followed by a line terminator. These files are then to be translated into a cononical form, sent over the wire, and then translated back. All this translation tends to be bad for anything that isn't in the range [32,126].

They compiled flawlessly and seem to run ok except for vat. The symptoms: When I start up a session vat pops up and seems to receive audio but there is only a brief (sub-1 second) moment of sound. In the xterm where I started sdr it then reports: aud write: Resource temporarily unavailable Further investigation reveals that this is refering to the UNIX domain socket to X (/tmp/.X11-unix/X0).

The CD arrived in the mail yesterday, so last night, the project began. NEC's Versa series, one of which is the 6030X, has a little drawer in the front of the laptop, into which you can insert a floppy drive or a CD drive or a carriage to hold a second hard disk (the internal one is modular and easily removable), or a second battery. With the CD drawer installed, the FreeBSD 2.2.2 install disk booted perfectly. Installation onto my dedicated (ie, no fdisk table) FreeBSD disk went very smoothly. I bought a second hard disk to avoid NEC's unenlightened attitudes toward Windows95 sharing space with another OS (as documented previously on these lists). Besides, I think I can find a way productively to use 1.4 gig just for FreeBSD and XFree86. So why do I write? A possible reason the CD booted so cooperatively is it seems installation of the CD causes the hard disk to become /dev/wd1, while the CD acts as /dev/wd0. That gives me two choices. I always leave the CD drawer in -- and always boot from the CD, or I can boot the first time into single user mode, change /etc/fstab to refer to /dev/wd0 instead of /dev/wd1 and never install the CD drawer again under FreeBSD. Other strategies produce a panic, immediately after the kernel gets through probing devices. The cause is inability to mount the root partition (because /etc/fstab points to the "wrong" device). For the moment, I haven't been able to come up with a good idea of how best to detect the CD drawer in /etc/rc before it gets to "swapon -a." If I could, that would let me use one version of /etc/fstab with the CD drawer and another without. Changing drawers will always require a reboot; a small label on the bottom of the machine says that power must be off to change "Versa Bay" devices. Anybody have any good ideas? -- David E.

The receiver will convert the data from the standard form to his own internal form. In accordance with the NVT standard, the sequence should be used where necessary to denote the end of a line of text. (See the discussion of file structure at the end of the Section on Data Representation and Storage.) This says nothing about treatment of control characters beyond that line endings, if present, should be CRLF. The referenced telnet specification defines what a client should do upon receiving a ^H, which implies that a ^H should be able pass from the server to the client through NVT-ASCII intact. The FTP specification itself defines specific meanings of a variety of ASCII control characters for an optional variant of the ASCII mode which also implies they should come through the pipe intact. I've tried transfering the files in question using ASCII mode with several ftp clients and in all cases, the ^H characters come through intact. Can someone point to some *specific* ftp clients that strip the ^H in ASCII mode?

No. If you have done that, your home directory will be '/' after ftp-login, and you'll have a hard time escaping this directory sub tree. BTW, many commands like ``ls'' won't work if they are not in your sub-tree, i. e. you'll need a bin directory in every home directory of your users. Symlinks outside your tree won't work either!

If you have an "older" card (one with a National 83840 PHY chip), then the card should autosense full duplex and work fine (assuming of course that you have it attached to a fast ethernet switch that supports NWAY negotiation). If you have one of the newer cards with the Intel 82555 PHY chip, then you'll need some driver patches which are now in 2.2-stable. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 23 21:28:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA21252 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 21:28:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from obie.softweyr.ml.org ([199.104.124.49]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA21203 for ; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 21:27:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from wes@localhost) by obie.softweyr.ml.org (8.7.5/8.6.12) id VAA03358; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 21:27:32 -0600 (MDT) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 21:27:32 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199706240327.VAA03358@obie.softweyr.ml.org> From: Wes Peters To: Leonard CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: PPP Filters and Source Quench?

Funny you should ask that; I had to look it up just two days ago for one of the engineers at work. He was working on an ethernet driver for Macs and his test Mac was source-quenching large ping requests. Source quench means the target system does not have enough resources, typically network buffers, to respond to the request. I'd give you a page reference in _TCP/IP Illustrated_ but my copies are at work. Look up "source quence" in the index, that's how I found it. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Also, are you supposed to have 127.0.0.1 point to localhost AND your hostname in this kind of configuration, I thought that was bad. I don't understand why it is not able to route to its own interface?

Thanks for the advice. By what I recall, specifying a netmask of all 1's will even do the routing automatically, so you have nothing to do except for the ifconfig itself. Aliasing the loopback and manually arping seems crude and ugly to me... After all what you'd like is for your Ethernet interface to have more than one address, it's not a loopback address you're interested in... > -- > > John-David Childs (JC612) @denver.net/Internet-Coach > System Administrator Enterprise Internet Solutions > & Network Engineer 901 E 17th Ave, Denver 80218 > "I used up all my sick days... so I'm calling in dead!"

You may install FreeBSD on a separate partition on teh same disk or on a separate disk. Please read the info on installation found at the web site (http://www.freebsd.org). It will probably answer most of your questions.

What you need to do is: 1. Backup /etc 2. Boot the installation disk for 2.2.2 and choose the upgrade option. Be careful to select the same distributions as you did for the first installations, or some of the old versions will be retained. 3. When sysinstall is finished it will let you merge your old /etc files. Simply diff new and old versions to find out what have changed. 4. Reboot, and be happy.
